"The order was not issued to repair the Yue Mansion, which shows that the emperor has no intention of leaving His Royal Highness to live in Beijing, so His Royal Highness is only temporarily living here."

Wang Zhen chose a comfortable posture and sat down, browsing the simple furnishings in the storage hall, without too much expression on his face, occasionally turning his eyes to look at Zhu Qiming, his eyes revealing the arrogance of being deliberately restrained.

Zhu Qiming replied with an indifferent face, of course he would not avoid Wang Zhen's eagle-like gaze, but he also did not want to reveal the slightest trace of his true mentality in front of the chief eunuch, so that Wang Zhen could prove his ability to read people, so as to promote his pride in looking down on the world. Zhu Qiming was thinking: In order to "force away" the envoys of Wara, the emperor rewarded 100 taels of gold and 100 horses of Jinqi, which is a common thing, but the paradox is that the minister of the palace actually came to the door to give a reward, such a courtesy is a bit outrageously high, I don't know if this is Wang Zhen's idea, or the emperor's intention?

"Living in Beijing for a few days is a temporary residence, and living in Beijing for a few years is also a temporary residence, who can say for sure if you don't live temporarily? The key is to be in line with your heart, if you get your wish, you can live in Beijing for a moment and win a lifetime, and you can sigh that there are no regrets in this life! On the contrary, if you can't be comfortable, even if you live in Beijing for a hundred years, it will be in vain, and if you don't compete, no matter how prominent you are, it's just a passing cloud! ”

Wang Zhen put away his carelessness, quietly sat up straight, and even closed his eyes and meditated for a moment. "What do you wish for?"

"How can this king have any ambitions in life? It's just a little calculation to make your life less miserable in the future! The father-in-law is different, now the father-in-law is the backbone of the court, under the different opinions, the major affairs of the court and the central government are determined by the father-in-law, the position is so important, naturally if you want to make meritorious contributions before your death, and leave a name after your death, it is not easy for your father-in-law to be very difficult! ”

"Hahaha······" When Wang Zhen laughed, the muscles on his face rarely moved, so others could only realize that he was laughing by hearing, "The special wish of the Sprinkle family is to serve the emperor wholeheartedly, how can they think about themselves?" But His Royal Highness, as a prince, should think about himself, for example, the selection of Princess Yue is not a trivial matter. The queen seemed to understand His Royal Highness's thoughts, and let Lu Xi's eldest daughter enter the Kunning Palace to meet her, which made the Sprinkle family puzzled. Originally, the emperor and the queen mother intended to canonize the second daughter of the Zhou family as the princess of Yue, but the queen said something intriguing! The queen said that once Concubine Zhou gave birth to a prince in the future, her father and two younger brothers would be crowned marquis, which can be described as a prominent family, with the care of a prominent mother's family, plus a king of Yue who is both an uncle and an uncle, the prince born by Concubine Zhou is naturally not ordinary! Why does the Sprinkle family think that the queen is speaking according to Her Royal Highness's wishes? ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qiming's heart was not as calm as his expression looked. Thinking that he had mentioned the emperor's promise when he was a saint that day, the queen happened to be in the inner room of the Qianqing Palace, how could the dialogue between the monarch and the minister escape her ears? With the queen's scheming, it is not difficult to think clearly about the mysteries, and the change in her attitude is a natural trend, of course, it will not surprise the emperor! But Wang Zhen obviously didn't know what happened in the Qianqing Palace, so Wang Zhen's temptation today was completely out of his heart and had nothing to do with the emperor!

However, when the queen spoke like that, didn't she roast him, the king of Yue, on the fire? The Queen Mother is nothing, just as the so-called time and that time, she listened to the queen's hints, most of them will be suspicious of the concubine Zhou she originally wanted, and Concubine Zhou's domineering personality is afraid that it has become a piece of the queen mother's heart! The emperor is different, the emperor's suspicion of him, the king of Yue, has finally faded, and now he must have been turned out by the queen again!

Originally, the emperor's mind was wavering, but after the queen's hint, the emperor must have made up his mind, and Zhou Xiaodie is bound to be completely out of the competition for the choice of Princess Yue! Such a result is exactly what Zhu Qiming wants, but the queen's hint has an obvious side effect, that is, how can the suspicion of the Son of Heaven be provoked repeatedly!

It seems that the queen's style of acting is far from being as gentle as her appearance, she is resolute and resolute, and she will hit with one blow, and she will not hesitate to hurt others by mistake for this, which is not a good thing!

That's it, don't think about the Middle Palace for the time being, let's pour ecstasy soup into Wang Zhenpu first!

"Could it be that the prince is suspecting that this king is secretly communicating with the middle palace? My father-in-law really dared to think about it! If the father-in-law has a way, he might as well ask the Empress Dowager's spirit in the sky. ”

"The Empress Dowager?" Wang Zhen's gaze froze for a moment, "Also, the Empress Dowager must have said many things to the Empress back then, including the fact that the daughter of the Lu family is the companion of His Royal Highness, the Empress is virtuous, how can she not go to the beauty of adults?" Hey, hey, the Sprinkler family asked casually, Your Highness doesn't have to be careful. However, the things in the Forbidden City are indeed a little incomprehensible, for example, Ma Yu, a cabinet minister, has to retire from the imperial prelude, which is really a strange thing! The Sprinkle family is quite curious, and is still waiting for His Highness to solve his doubts. ”

Hehe, because of the wide range of sources, the almost omniscient internal minister is no longer always deaf and clear, and suddenly there are times when he is not clear, if this continues, the anxiety in Wang Zhen's heart will be seriously flooded, and the emperor will lose his accuracy when he speaks! Think about Wang Zhen, who was more comfortable with killing decisions than Yang Rong back then, and sometimes he couldn't understand the holy will, so he was at a loss in front of the emperor, how funny that scene should be!

Zhu Qiming held back his smile and was innocently stunned for a while, "Oh, my father-in-law also knows that it is inconvenient for this king to get too close to the important ministers of the cabinet, and he just exchanged a few words with Ma Yu that day, and then he went to show his diplomatic talents, and this king went to play the scoundrel of this king, which has nothing to do." Eh, Ma Yu whispered in front of the emperor, shouldn't he be angry about the king's teasing of the envoys of Wara, so he secretly impeached the king? If this is the case, I hope that my father-in-law will speak out, so that the king can prepare early, so that he will not be reprimanded by the emperor at that time. Alas, the pre-confidential affairs of these ministers are always chattering with gods, and this king does not want to be planted in their hands without explanation! ”

Pretending to be crazy and stupid, isn't it? If I knew what Ma Yu said that day, would I still ask you! Wang Zhen pursed his lips slightly, but he didn't dare to openly express his dissatisfaction. "If the Sprinkle family knows any rumors, how can they hide it from His Highness? Well, there are many rights and wrongs to stay in the capital, if not, how could His Highness have traveled to the north for several years in the first place? After speaking, he showed a somewhat smug look.

Are you a threat to the king? A smile appeared on Zhu Qiming's face, "This king also wants to go to the domain, but he has to be ordered to go and stay, and his father-in-law may wish to advise and persuade the emperor, and send this king to a secluded place to enjoy Qingfu as soon as possible, and this king must remember the good of his father-in-law." ”

The Sprinkle family has just treated you slowly, and the emperor is displeased with this, at this time, the Sprinkle family can still go to the emperor to drive you out of Beijing? The Sprinkle family is not a stunned young man! Wang Zhen snorted lightly, "The Sprinkle family has no intention of persuading His Highness to go to the domain. ”

Zhu Qiming looked at Wang Zhen who seemed to be scheming, and he was very disapproving, but he said: "Having said that, this king's temporary residence in the capital is actually very beneficial to his father-in-law, just take the envoys of Wara, a large number of people came to Daming to cheat on food, drink, and rewards, in this regard, the officials in the court and the central government are reluctant to take ideas, and the father-in-law is also unwilling to take ideas, and they are afraid of being responsible for the consequences of making evil Warat, but can it be done if it drags on like this?" The Warat mission is increasing every year, and when they come to a mission of thousands or even tens of thousands of people at once, the father-in-law will be embarrassed, and the hundred officials will definitely not make up their minds, is it difficult to let the emperor bear the responsibility of dealing with Warat? Of course not! At that time, my father-in-law had to stand up and take on the heavy responsibility that no one in the world was willing to bear. And with this king temporarily living in Beijing, the father-in-law does not have to worry about this matter, so the father-in-law still owes the king a favor. ”

Just as you can! Wang Zhen's face changed uncertainly, and finally reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "The Sprinkle family has been taught, and I will leave." ”

Zhu Qiming sent Wang Zhen away, and saw Ouyang Tong hurriedly enter the Cunxin Palace, "Your Highness, what is Wang Zhen doing here?" ”

Zhu Qiming smiled, "It's a reward." This king knows that there are a few things in the Forbidden City that Wang Zhen can't understand, how can he sleep peacefully if he doesn't come to Yuefu for a trip! ”

Ouyang Tongwan'er, "It's a pity that it's better not to come, His Royal Highness poured him some ecstasy soup, and he became more and more restless and stable!" "Oh and laughed," I heard someone below that the British Duke and Xining openly tore their faces, as expected by His Royal Highness! ”

The opportunity is coming so soon? Zhu Qiming's spirits perked up, "Eh, Ouyang Changshi will quickly explain this matter." ”

"Yes. Xining and the British Gong's grange are next to each other, doesn't Xining have a righteous brother who changed his name to Xisheng? Xining was arrogant, Xisheng followed arrogance, and dared to lead the crowd to find the British public to forcibly claim the land, the British public did not follow, the two sides quarreled, and then they moved, and a woman in the British family was impregnated and died, how could the British public swallow this breath! He angrily sued the emperor about the matter, but the emperor exempted Xisheng from the crime and only exiled a few cleansers to the border guards. ”

"And then?"

"Later?" Ouyang Tong brushed his beautiful hair, "Later, Xining said that the British public also kept the purifiers privately, so the emperor's edict exiled the purifiers in the British public family to the border guards. ”

Cut, the dignified British prince and the No. 2 nobleman are blindly fighting fiercely, and there is no wisdom at all, which is disappointing! Zhu Qiming couldn't help but sigh.

Ouyang Tong was excited, "Your Highness, the British Duke has suffered a big loss, and this feud is a big one!" In the next thought, the time is ripe, let's borrow the hand of the British public to get rid of Xining! ”

"No!" Zhu Qiming pondered for a moment, "You have to restrain Wang Zhen first!" ”

"Your Royal Highness, Wang Zhen has taken countless bribes, and his family property is rich enough to rival the country, Yun Niang must have conclusive evidence of Wang Zhen's greed for ink in her hands!"

Zhu Qiming shook his head, "In the eyes of the emperor, no matter how greedy Wang Zhen is, it doesn't matter. Ouyang Changshi thought about it carefully, what is the emperor most afraid of now? ”

"Warat is eyeing the tiger, and the emperor must be the most jealous of the Ming officials and the Tartar thieves!"

"Not bad!" Zhu Qiming's eyes lit up, "At the beginning of last year, we passed through Datong and heard about the grievances of a hundred local households, which were caused by Guo Jing, the eunuch guarding Datong Town, and Guo Jing was Wang Zhen's confidant. This card should not be played early, now is the right time to play! ”

Ouyang Tong nodded again and again, "It is difficult for that border secret matter to be transmitted to the General Administration Department on the right path, however, the Ministry of War is under great pressure for a series of defeats in a series of battles at the border pass. At this point, he consulted with Commander Liang and ordered people to rush to Datong! ”
