Before the time of the day, Zhu Qiming came to the celebrant early to meet the minister of the secluded courtroom. He had to condescend to his dignity, because after today, Wang Zhen will call for wind and rain in the court again!

Showdown with Wang Zhen, this matter is urgent, even if he is suspected of seeing an internal official, he will not hesitate to do it!

"Congratulations to the prince, Wang Xing's case has been investigated, Wang Xing's unauthorized exchange of armor for the thief's war horse is completely a personal private act, and has nothing to do with others. From tomorrow, the prince will be able to serve the emperor again. As soon as Zhu Qiming sat down in the large room reserved by Wang Zhen, his eyes were fixed on the chief eunuch's calm face.

"Hahaha······" As expected, Wang Zhen laughed loudly, not caring at all that there was a dignified prince sitting opposite. "The Sprinkler family doesn't know where the joy comes from. His Royal Highness will inevitably have great trouble when he sees other internal officials, but he sees that the Sprinkle family has nothing to do, which shows that the Sprinkle family is very different from ordinary people. What is the joy of returning to serve the Son of Heaven in governance? ”

More than ten days of deep cultivation made Wang Zhen change his slightly peaceful look, and when he shook his body or moved his eyes, he no longer showed the arrogance that came from his bones. But Zhu Qiming didn't believe that a short-term secluded farce could reinvent an inner minister who was accustomed to majesty.

"Could it be that the father-in-law decided that the emperor could not do without the father-in-law, so he thought that no one in the world could hurt the father-in-law? Don't forget, there is still a Xining in this world, and the father-in-law tried to protect Xining at the beginning, but now it's time to pay the price. ”

Wang Zhen's expression instantly returned to normal, and his iconic eagle-like gaze flashed, showing the ruthlessness like frost stained for thirty-nine days, with a penetrating chill.

"Xining hasn't opened his mouth yet, the facts of the case are unknown, and there are other grievances in it!"

Zhu Qiming's gaze left Wang Zhen behind, and slowly swept to the spacious room that the interior enjoys exclusively, which is very well furnished, with a high cabinet, a long table, and several circle chairs, simple and elegant; On the wall are the "Six Gentlemen" by the Yuan Dynasty painter Ni Zan and several landscape paintings by the Ming Dynasty court Huashi; A delicate rosewood screen separates a tearoom, and the leaves of the tearoom are carved out of a small square, but in the center of the grid is a diamond-shaped pattern.

An internal official, but his office conditions are far above Jiuqing!

"The father-in-law can determine that Xining is not guilty, but Xining is in the prison of the Criminal Department, not in Jinyi Prison, guilty or innocent, Jiuqing has the final say, and what the father-in-law says does not count. In the final analysis, the emperor still cares about his father-in-law, so he has the patience to let Xining delay for time, and when the secret that is unfavorable to his father-in-law is revealed, the Son of Heaven may be ruthless and admit whether he pleads guilty, which is also unbearable! ”

Wang Zhen's face was slightly gloomy, and his eyes flashed, "The DPRK and China are on stage, and there are naturally extraordinary people behind them, so there are extraordinary people behind it." The Sprinkle family is unwilling to speculate. However, those foreign officials who are cautious on weekdays can't help but be happy too early! In less than a month, those people will taste all the hardships again, don't look at them now that they have forgotten about His Highness's visit to the domain, and after a while, they will have nothing to do, so they can only worry about where His Highness will be in the domain. And once His Royal Highness goes to the domain, I'm afraid Xining will keep his mouth shut forever! ”

Zhu Qiming stared at the tea cup on the case, and when it came to the critical moment of the showdown, he still had to think about it carefully.

Seeing Zhu Qiming's hesitation, Wang Zhen smiled leisurely, "Oh, the emperor nodded, the queen mother will be relieved sooner or later, and the Sprinkle family wants to congratulate His Highness, His Royal Highness will marry Lu Xi's eldest daughter as a concubine as he wishes." At this moment, the Chunxi Palace will be very lively, everything will be settled today, the Sprinkle family is willing to help His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness will be able to marry the daughter of the Lu family in less than a month, and then go to the domain, hahaha······ Please use tea with Your Royal Highness, this is not far from the Chunxi Palace, and good news will come later. ”

Outside the window, there is a gorgeous morning glow, such a celestial phenomenon is unpredictable, I don't know if it will follow, wind and rain or bright sunshine! His mood was a little urgent, and he was looking forward to the familiar sound of the piano to sound soon.

"Xining's mouth grows on Xining's body, and no one can shut him up forever except himself. Besides, the father-in-law is powerful, and the so-called tree is a big move, maybe someone will reveal the shocking secrets involving the father-in-law, If that's the case, who knows if the emperor will order someone to pry Xining's mouth open! ”

Wang Zhen was shocked and stood up straight, "Is Your Highness going to force the Sprinkle family to make it clear?" The prince and the internal officials can each have their own parts, the well water does not violate the river water, if they are forced to work hard, once the trouble arises, the prince may not have a chance to win! ”

Zhu Qiming calmly took a sip of the lamp, with a smile in his eyes, "Since no one can say for sure the odds, then it is a risk." If a prince insists on fighting with others, the risk is very small, and it is a big deal to go to the domain, anyway, sooner or later, he will have to go to the domain, and going to the domain early is not a loss of anything. Father-in-law is different, once the father-in-law makes a mistake, I am afraid that he will lose his power and even take his life! Oh, the internal officials and the prince compete, the benefits are very small, the risks are very large, and the father-in-law must not ignore it. ”

"Your Highness!"

Zhu Qiming turned a deaf ear to Wang Zhen's shouts, and his thoughts flew to the Chunxi Hall and flew into the peculiar talent competition test field.

······

Because the palace is saving money for disaster relief, so the Chunxi Palace is very simple to arrange, Rao is so, just dress up the queen mother, the queen, the princess of Changde and the concubines of the palace to sit there, it will set off the luxurious style of the heavenly kingdom to the fullest.

Zhou Xiaodie, Lin Sulan and five carefully selected women sat upright on the side of the Queen Mother, half-hidden behind the curtain, anxiously waiting for Shangyi Bureau Shangyi to come to give an order, to see who would appear on the stage at that time.

The time has come, Shangyi Bureau Shangyi announced the start of the piano art competition, but Lu Xiyao did not show up in time, the queen and Princess Changde raised their eyes from time to time to look out of the door, and the anxiety in their hearts was written on their faces, and Concubine Zhou on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yingji entered, saluted in front of the queen mother and others, moved to the piano case and took a seat, concentrating and brewing emotions.

The five women of the family quietly discussed.

"She looks handsome, but this dress is quite weird, and we've never seen her before."

"That's North Korean costume! Look at her less than fifteen years old, Lord Shangyi actually said that she is extremely talented, and there are few women in the Ming Dynasty who can compare with her, how can people dare to believe this? ”

Suddenly, I heard a soft sound, and the beautiful sound of the piano came like a spring, and everyone listened to it, it was the ancient song of "Guangling San".

At that time, Ji Kang stroked a song "Guangling San" before his execution, and Qu Zuo lamented that "Guangling San" has been lost since then, which is somewhat absolute, but it is not unreasonable, because the "Guangling San" passed down by later generations has many errors, and the style of the song is gradually becoming softer, and it is difficult to find the heroic spirit of Nie Zheng's assassination of Han Puppet.

And Li Yingji played the ancient song of "Guangling San" recorded in "Magical Secret Score"!

Gently open the fingers, cut into the small order, the big order, the sound of the piano gradually contains the meaning of grief and indignation, and to the sound stage, the sound of the piano turns to be excited, for a time it is brilliant, the spear is vertical and horizontal, the killing air fills the hall, a meal is all tightly linked to the heartstrings of the people, and the sound of the very layered sense spreads to the entire Forbidden City, and the image of a famous man who is determined to take revenge is set off to the point of moving. In the later part of the song, the sound of the piano changes from passionate to soothing, as if singing three sighs, and when people are shocked, the sound of the piano gradually stops, and there is still a lingering sound.

The entire Chunxi Hall was suddenly silent, which reminded people of the poem "Pipa Xing", "The east ship and the west boat are silent, and only the autumn moon in the heart of the river is white." ”

The queen mother was the first to come back to her senses, raised her eyes and looked straight ahead, but saw the five women of the family hanging their heads together, with a timid face.

Several elderly female musicians whispered around Shang Yi, Shang Yi's face was solemn, and she walked up to the Queen Mother and said: "Qi Qi Empress Dowager, I am afraid that Li's piano skills are unmatched even by the female music in the palace, and those women from the family are really not able to compete with her!" ”

Face! The queen mother's heart sank, and she glared at those women of the family, she regretted a little, regretted that she should not have mixed this inexplicable competition, and let herself bear too heavy a responsibility!

The queen and Princess Changde couldn't sit still, so they stood up one after another and looked out of the door anxiously.
