Out of the laundry room, Zhu Qiming looked around, and saw that Meng Wufei quickly appeared and greeted him from afar.

"Gonggong Meng, I heard that the Huanyi Bureau is going to move to the outside of Desheng Gate, if this is the case, it will be very inconvenient for the Huanyi Bureau to enter and exit the Forbidden City."

"I've said it many times, if you really want to relocate, maybe it's the Year of the Monkey!"

Turning into a straight road, you can see at a glance that the gate of the Huanyi Bureau is more than ten zhang away.

"All the attendants here have been summoned to the storage room by the Sprinkle family, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about being seen." Meng Wu diligently bowed down to lead the way, and walked smoothly without looking at the road ahead, "Your Highness has a noble status, and if you have something to order, you can just ask someone to run, why bother to come to such a dirty place in person?" ”

Zhu Qiming deliberately slowed down his pace, and looked sideways at Meng Wuyi, "This king can't help but come." This woman was once the little maid of the first emperor, and often served the first emperor to read the inscription and the book, and was very clever, and was repeatedly praised by the first emperor. ”

"And that sort of thing!" Meng Wuyi exclaimed.

"The emperor and the queen mother punished her in a hurry, and when she is angry in a few days, she will definitely remember the words of the first emperor, and sooner or later she will be sent back to the palace on an errand. Alas, looking at her body and bones, she must not have survived, I am afraid that when the emperor finds her father-in-law and asks for someone, but her father-in-law can't hand over someone, then it will be troublesome. ”

Meng Wuyi was stunned, and a sad look appeared in his eyes, "Thanks to His Highness's reminder, the Sprinkle family almost made a big mistake!" Ouch, the Huanyi Bureau is not a place where you dare to offend people, but you can't let her die of illness and exhaustion here! Gai Ming'er asked her to go to the wardrobe to do things, and she couldn't get tired of taking time to count the washed clothes every day. ”

······

Accompanied by two chamberlains, Zhu Qiming left the imperial city from Dong'anmen and rode a carriage around to Chengtianmen. When I lifted the curtain and looked, I saw a carriage parked under the shade of a tree on the side of the altar.

Chengtian Gate is the main gate of the imperial city, and the word "Chengtian" means "Chengtian Qiyun, ordered by the sky". The moat in front of the gate was formerly called Jinshui River in the Yuan Dynasty, now called Jade River or Royal River, the river water is drawn from Yuquan Mountain in the western suburbs of the capital, and flows into Tonghui River in the south.

There are seven bridges built on the river surface facing Chengtianmen, which are three-hole arch coupon structures, and are called jade bridges when they are called outer gold water bridges. The Outer Jinshui Bridge is different from the Inner Jinshui Bridge inside the Wumen Gate and outside the Fengtian Gate, and the Inner Jinshui Bridge has only five parallel bridge decks.

The bridge deck of the Waijinshui Bridge is slightly arched, and the bridge body is like a rainbow. The most prominent bridge deck in the middle is carved with the head of the dragon column, which is only for the emperor to pass through, called "Yulu Bridge"; The two bridge decks carved with lotus column heads on both sides of the Yulu Bridge are only allowed to pass by the prince, called "Wanggong Bridge"; The two bridges beyond are only allowed to pass through the civil and military ministers of more than three grades, which are called "grade bridges"; The outermost two relief stone bridges are used by officials and soldiers below the fourth rank to pass, and are called "Gongsheng Bridge".

Zhu Qiming only glanced at the surrounding scenery a few times, and then heard a "whoosh", and the carriage stopped in the shade of the tree, next to the previous carriage, but when he saw the curtain of the carriage lifted, the king of the servant showed his head anxiously.

"Brother Yuwang, won't you find a place to hide? Someone sent me here to meet me, so that people would have to chew their tongues again when they saw me! ”

King Yu completely ignored Zhu Qiming's questioning, and said hurriedly: "Is she okay?" ”

Zhu Qiming looked through the narrow gap between the two cars, and saw that the two chamberlains who led him and the entourage of the servant were scattered in the distance and secretly guarded, and there were no idle people walking around, so he turned his head and glanced at the king of the servant.

"It's okay, but it cost me a lot of money, so the Huanyi Bureau agreed to treat her, and then change to an easy errand, don't worry, she won't suffer!"

"Thanks to you for taking care of you, King Yue!" King Yu's expression slowed slightly, and he muttered, "I hurt her!" ”

"I don't blame you, I don't blame her, this little thing between the two of you is not worth mentioning at all! You are right, if one thing is true, then others will think that everything is true, to put it simply, it is still the three bad things caused by the Xu Taifei Palace, Fu'an Palace, and Yongsu Palace, think about it, with those three bad things, what kind of people have you become in the harem! ”

As soon as the king gritted his teeth, his face instantly rose with anger, and under the reflection of the sun, a handsome face looked a little hideous, and after a while, his shining eyes gradually dimmed.

"That's it, after all, it's my own frolicking that gives others a chance. You said it so well! If you think more about national worries, you will be able to look down on many things. I've been thinking about the country's worries these days, so I might as well tell you about it. At present, the Ming Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and the DPRK must have a magnanimity, at this very time, when the extraordinary people are used, the extraordinary law can be used to ensure that the society is safe, if it is still stable like now, and even ignore the internal and external troubles, for a little groundless suspicion and internal fighting, calculation and calculation, the situation of the Ming Dynasty will be declining! ”

Use extraordinary people to do extraordinary methods? Zhu Qiming was secretly taken aback, but he didn't expect that after just over a month, King Yu's knowledge was already extremely high, as if he had changed people.

The king over there shook his head and sighed, "You can't make a big deal by relying on those people in the court!" Fortunately, the discipline is not completely rotten, and there are still people in the world available. However, looking at the world, I am only optimistic about two people, one is Yu Qian, the military squire of Shanxi and Henan, and the other is the king of Yue. ”

Zhu Qiming was anxious when he heard this. No, you don't have to look at anyone! You are optimistic that Yu Qian will hurt Yu Qian, and you are optimistic that I will hurt me! Let's have some practical ······

"I know that you have a good relationship with two women named Yun Niang and Ni Niang." King Yu turned his head to look around, and said in a low voice: "Jinyi Wei is secretly investigating the whereabouts of those two women and their families, you have to be careful!" ”

Thanks to the fact that I was the first to let those people go away, I saved a lot of trouble! Zhu Qiming was secretly glad in his heart, but he quickly diverted the topic: "I haven't been back to Yuefu for a long time, and I don't know what the current situation of Yuefu is. ”

"You should know that Yuefu has newly entered a thousand young troops, as far as I know, those who have fought with you are training young troops, you have to ask about this, if you want to defeat the Warat Iron Cavalry, you can only rely on you, as for the Beijing army and the border army, hmph, I don't think it's better to count on it!"

After all, I think that King Yu has a deep foundation, even if he suffers a heavy setback and stays in King Yu's Mansion, he is well-informed, and the movements of Yue Mansion can still reach his ears.

However, why did Tang Ji and the others start training the young army in such a hurry?

"I'm so poor right now, why are you training young soldiers? It's not too late to go to training after going to the domain! No, I have to go back to Yuefu, just stop the military training, I just want to stay quietly in the courtyard for a few years to live a quiet life, and if I want to fight, it will be after I go to the domain as an adult! ”

King Yu raised his neck, "I am an idler now, and I don't want to accumulate any idle wealth, no later than tomorrow, I will order someone to send 100,000 taels of silver to Yuefu." ”

100,000 taels! Zhu Qiming was stunned for a long time, as if his head was smashed by a gold brick falling from the sky. "Hehe, Brother Yu Wang is right, the soldiers still have to be trained, be prepared."

"Someone!" King Yu called his entourage and coachman, turned to Zhu Qiming and said, "Yanluo, please take care of it, let's go!" ”

After King Yu left, Zhu Qiming rode around Dong'an Gate and entered the imperial city, got off outside Donghua Gate, and walked into the palace.

When I returned to the other courtyard, I felt that there seemed to be a familiar atmosphere in the courtyard, so I walked a few steps quickly, stepped into the study, and saw Lu Xiyu sitting by the bookcase in a daze, looking out the window.

"My sister is finally here!"

Zhu Qiming ran over quickly and almost crashed into Lu Xiyu.

Lu Xiyu turned his head sideways, "Who is your sister?" Don't be out of proportion, lest you be heard laughing at! ”

"Who dares to laugh at us!" Zhu Qiming sat down opposite Lu Xiyu, "We've been studying together for several years, and it's easy to say, how can you not call it if you don't call it now!" ”

Raising her eyes, I saw that Lu Xiyu was wearing a red floral skirt with a light blue background today, and her headdress was replaced with a jasper hairpin and a golden hairpin, each with a plum-shaped pink pendant flower.

It took a long time for Lu Xiyu to turn his head and glance at Zhu Qiming, with a hint of resentment in his eyes, cold but amazing, so Zhu Qiming grinned and laughed.

"Your new companion is a frequent visitor to Xianxi Palace, look how much the Queen Mother likes her, you are afraid that you will call her sister in the future! People can be literate and martial, and they can dress themselves, how can I compare to others! ”

Zhu Qiming pursed his lips, "Don't mention that flower butterfly!" Who else in the world has a woman's talent and learning that is better than Sister Xiyu? Your companion identity is determined by the Queen Mother, no one can change it, and I won't follow it if it changes! ”

"Flower butterflies?" Lu Xiyu "poof", covered his mouth and chuckled, and looked at Zhu Qiming with a smile, there was still a trace of unhappiness on the corner of his mouth, but his face finally relaxed.

Zhu Qiming smiled again when he saw this, but he had some doubts in his heart. I thought that Lu Xiyu and Saihan hit it off at first sight, and they were as good as sisters, but now why are they so bad with that Zhou?

Well, isn't it that the Empress Dowager secretly hurt Lu Xiyu's self-esteem? That's it, why bother trying to figure out the girl's mind in vain!

"Sister, I've been waiting for you for many days, if you don't come again, my piano, chess, calligraphy and painting will be all gone!"

Lu Xiyu was stunned for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I didn't want to come, but in the end I was persuaded by my father to come." ”

Mr. Lui? Zhu Qiming was stunned for a moment, thinking that his hearing might affect Mr. Lu, and his heart couldn't help but sink, "Could it be that Mr. Fei has encountered a difficult situation?" ”

Lu Xiyu shook his head, "My father is fine, but Yang Ge is in trouble." Yang Ge Lao said, after Wang Zhen cleaned up Wulong, he pointed the finger at the civil and military officials, many people were forced to suffer, Yang Ge Lao was anxious and wanted to consult with you, but you stayed in the palace all day long, and did not step into the front half a step, Yang Ge Lao couldn't, didn't I have the waist card given by Princess Changde? So Elder Yang Ge found my father and let me enter the palace. ”

Hearing that Mr. Lu was fine, Zhu Qiming breathed a sigh of relief. "Sister, go back and persuade Mr. not to worry about the affairs of the court. I am now an idler, and it is inconvenient for me to meet with the officials of the DPRK and China. ”

Lu Xiyu said in surprise: "Eunuchs interfere in politics and suppress hundreds of officials, is this also an idle matter?" ”

"My sister didn't know, at first, Wang Zhen and Wulong fought for the law, which can be described as two tigers fighting, which is such a great opportunity for the important ministers of the court, how can it be missed? Of course, hundreds of officials have to take advantage of it! But the hundred officials only cared about the excitement, and did not know to take advantage of it to get rid of Wulong in one fell swoop and weaken Wang Zhen's power at the same time, but sat back and watched Wang Zhen free his hands to clean up the hundred officials. I'm afraid that I won't be able to participate in the power struggle between internal and external officials in the future, and even if I can help foreign officials, there will be endless many things to help if I can help them, so it will be useless to completely reverse the situation, and if I don't get it right, I will even put myself in it! ”
