The internal officials came to give rewards, and Lu Xiyao and Li Yingji were both very rewarded, but the emperor did not come to the Chunxi Palace, but ordered someone to pass Zhu Qiming to the Yongsu Palace.

"King Yue, the book of Lilu as Princess Yue has been drafted."

Zhu Qiming grinned, and wanted to thank him, but the emperor said something else: "Can your marriage be delayed?" ”

Zhu Qiming was speechless. The prince's marriage is not as good as the common people, and it generally takes several years for the common people to marry a wife, but the prince marries the concubine differently.

Fortunately, Zhu Qiming only said in front of Lu Xiyao that he would "choose a day" to do the ceremony, if he promised an exact date, he would have to be infamous for being untrustworthy and coaxing innocent girls!

There is no way, the Son of Heaven is always so indecisive and wavering, and even the same is true of the appointment of a prince and princess, so he also ordered someone to pass a message to his cousin, asking the cousin to wait for good news, and after only half an hour, the Son of Heaven's mind began to waver.

Zhu Qiming couldn't help but glance at Wang Zhen, he knew that Wang Zhen's ability to return to the imperial front so soon was not just due to the small incident of Wang Xing's case, but was closely related to the situation in the court. As soon as the pressure from the internal officials disappeared, the foreign officials themselves immediately became chaotic, and the officials, households, and works were repeatedly impeached by the officials, and they were turning over old accounts with each other, and the two imperial envoys of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Chen Yi and Wang Wen, were busy with infighting, Jiuqing's thoughts were different, and even brought their selfishness into the court, and they sang their own tunes when discussing politics, and they could not reach a consensus on major policies at all.

But the Xining case is still hanging there, and it is impossible for the emperor to trust Wang Zhen for a while.

Well, Wang Zhen still has to be a man with his tail between his legs, so most of the "icing on the cake" rhetoric that rested on the celebrant supervisor has to be discounted. Thinking of this, Zhu Qiming rushed to Wang Zhen and only expressed his dissatisfaction with his eyes slightly.

Wang Zhen looked awe-inspired, and his reaction was quite strong, and that appearance sent an obvious signal: I really don't blame me for this!

"The Queen Mother is not happy, and Concubine Zhou ······" Sure enough, the emperor himself couldn't help but tell the secret: "She's making a difference." ”

Zhu Qiming heard the words for a while: She makes her temperament, don't you just let her dry? I didn't enter Changning Palace for a month to see if she still had a temperament!

After a while, Zhu Qiming calmed down. It's okay for the queen mother to say that time will eliminate all the resentment in her heart, but Concubine Zhou is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Sister Xi Yao is afraid that she will be in big trouble.

"I'm thinking, how about the Lu family and the Zhou family, one is the first concubine and the other is the second concubine?" The emperor muttered to himself.

Your Majesty, hurry up and stop! One of them is the first concubine and the other is the second concubine, so is there still a peaceful life in Yuefu? Do you want to make the Yuefu chicken dog restless? Besides, if you kill me, you won't marry that "flower butterfly"!

Fortunately, the emperor quickly vetoed his words: "No, who is the first concubine and who is the second concubine?" This matter is difficult to decide, for the sake of your marriage, the harem is only afraid of quarrelling. Alas, the more compromises there are, the greater the trouble! It's better to take it slowly. ”

Zhu Qiming couldn't make a sound, and sighed secretly. Okay, then take a break, anyway, the book is written very clearly in black and white, I don't believe that the Son of Heaven will risk the disapproval of the world and go back on his word!

When I returned to Yuefu, I saw that the weeds on both sides of the corridor and verandah had been removed, and the entire courtyard was much cleaner than before. Liang Gang led dozens of guards to clean the courtyard, and as soon as he saw Zhu Qiming, Liang Gang left his subordinates and ran over.

Ouyang Tong, Jiang Yi, and Yun Niang also came over from different directions, and everyone gathered on the verandah, waiting for Zhu Qiming to take the lead in speaking.

"Commander Liang, what's wrong with today? Why did you take the guards to do the work of handymen? Zhu Qiming said with a smile.

"Alas!" Liang Gang shook his head, looking lonely, "Your Highness, don't mention it, I was allowed to resign from the post of commander of the Yuefu Guards, from tomorrow, I will be a grass people, and I will not inform my subordinates of this news today, just to be a commander for one more day." It's better to find something to do than to be idle! ”

Haven't adapted to the gap from the government to the people? Zhu Qiming couldn't help but smile bitterly, "What grass people?" You are also the king's warrior! It is not a pity to resign from the post of commander, but you can go to Jiangnan with Yunniang as soon as possible, and the family will be reunited, how good! ”

"yes!" Ouyang Tong echoed: "Your husband and wife are never together, and you only have one daughter so far, if you continue like this, I'm afraid you can only give birth to a string of autumn gourds." ”

"Hey, hey, hey······"

Jiang Yi smirked, his body had recovered, but his IQ seemed to have decreased.

Yun Niang on the side glanced at Jiang Yi. Yun Niang took off her mask, and now although she is a mother, her appearance has not changed much.

Liang Gang over there was still full of reluctance, "Your Highness, on the day Princess Yue enters the mansion, I will drink some happy wine and get some joy, and then go to Jiangnan?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qiming remembered what Emperor Fang Cai had said, and he felt a little stunned. Ouyang Tong on the side opened his mouth first: "Commander Liang, you have a beautiful wife at home, but you are always reluctant to give up on the capital, could it be that your heart belongs to something else?" ”

Ouyang Tong's words were nothing more than a joke, but with Yun Niang present, Liang Gang suddenly became anxious, "Isn't Ouyang Changshi going to ruin my reputation?" I've always been upright, and I can't talk nonsense! Yan Bi glanced at Yun Niang at the right time.

Yun Niang was secretly sulking for her man's disregard for his family, but after seeing Liang Gang's generous statement, she was in a good mood, chuckled a few times, and looked at Ouyang Tong with bad intentions.

"I heard that Ouyang Changshi is engaged to a young and beautiful woman, and he will marry her soon, right?"

Ouyang Tong stroked his beard, looking leisurely and fascinated, "I'm thinking, on the day His Royal Highness got married, wouldn't it be even more lively for me to marry her!" ”

Yun Niang smiled again, "I heard that the woman is only in her early twenties, tsk, this age difference is a bit big, ha, let Yun Niang teach her another day, so as not to call her husband a father by mistake after marriage." ”

Liang Gang and Yun Niang looked at each other and smiled, and Ouyang Tong was slightly embarrassed. Jiang Yi on the side heard that such an old man as Ouyang Tong had found a young and beautiful woman, and his heart moved, and he was in a daze there.

Zhu Qiming saw it in his eyes, "Yun Niang, Jiang Yi's mother has passed away, and now Jiang Yi is alone, you know a lot of people, so you will find a good woman for him to come in." ”

"Hey, hey, hey······" Jiang Yi immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"Looking for a good woman?" Yun Niang shook her head desperately, "If you want to look good, if you want to have no figure, you want to be old, and you are stupid, where can you find a good woman?" It would be nice to find a half-old widow! ”

"Hey, hey, hey······"

Got on me, didn't you? Yun Niang saw Jiang Yichong smirking at herself, and immediately became angry, "You don't have to do things, you can get a good job while sitting at home, what a good thing, why did you resign from the official?" Let's go to Jiangnan to seek wealth, you don't have long skills, what can you do? Just become a monk! ”

"Hey, hey, hey······"

"You're a wreck!"

"Hey, hey, hey······"

It's really a bad word and a stupid man! Yun Niang was completely deflated and turned her head away in frustration.

Zhu Qiming remembered what was going on, "Yun Niang, gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan as soon as possible, from now on, you will be a businessman." The sea route along the southeast coast is not smooth, if you want to make money, you have to fight the idea of the north, and quietly transport the silk from the south of the Yangtze River to Beijing, where there is no shortage of merchants from the Western Regions, and the wealth road here is extremely wide. ”

Ouyang Tong had some doubts on his face, "Your Highness, the imperial court controls porcelain, tea, cotton and other goods quite strictly, but silk is not controlled, and it is not a big deal for us to make profits from silk trafficking, but it is inconvenient for us to contact the merchants of the Western Regions openly!" ”

"Does Changshi remember that Samarkand back to Ha Fat? Back then, we got along with him in Datong for more than a month, and we were old acquaintances. I heard that Ha Feizi was reluctant to return to China, and the emperor allowed him to stay in the capital. If you find Ha Feizi, it is not difficult to get in touch with many merchants in the Western Regions, let's say hello in secret, there is Yun Niang on the bright side, Yun Niang knows this well. ”

Hearing Zhu Qiming praise herself, Yun Niang quickly forgot about the trouble of finding a wife for Jiang Yi. "Your Highness, what is it just trafficking? It's better to let Yun Niang procure a loom over there, recruit weaver girls, and spin and weave cloth by herself. You can also hire embroidery girls, and now Suzhou embroidery is a strange commodity to live in! ”

Zhu Qiming smiled indifferently, "We only earn one of them, and there are two more that go to the people and the court, so we can't be too greedy." As for Su embroidery, ordinary Su embroidery is all over the market, if you want to make a profit, you have to think of other ways, this king wants to think about it, and the benefits of Su embroidery should go to the imperial court. Imagine, if the embroidery is from the hands of the palace people, it will be extraordinary! ”

Ouyang Tong was taken aback, "Your Highness, the palace has palace rules, and the embroidery in the palace cannot flow into the people!" ”

Zhu Qiming shook his head disapprerovingly, "That's the current life can go on, and when the pot can't be opened one day, there won't be so much exquisiteness!" ”

Ouyang Tong was still suspicious, "The harem regulations are very strict, and the queen mother will probably not nod, so if His Royal Highness is fighting the idea of the harem, please think twice!" ”

Zhu Qiming suddenly appeared in his mind, he was a little unsure, after secretly cooperating with the queen to change the predetermined process of the concubine, so that he could get his wish, can he have a tacit understanding with the queen again?

"There's no urgency."

Jiang Yi saw that there was a lively conversation here, and scratched his head, "Your Highness, Niu······ Niu San. ”

Zhu Qiming suddenly realized that the few people who had lived and died together back then, except for the murdered Ni Niang, Xu Gong and Niu San were no longer here. After a few years of absence, he misses the old man in Tongzhou very much at the moment, however, the old accounts can't stand being turned over again, and even if he meets the old man by chance in the future, I'm afraid he can only be a stranger!

"Your Highness, I think you should go to the prison of the Criminal Department to meet that Xining."

Ouyang Tong saw Zhu Qiming's gloomy expression, so he wanted to say something to distract him, but as soon as the words came out, it aroused another matter on Zhu Qiming's mind. At this time when the society is in crisis, that matter seems extremely heavy.

Poking open that thick curtain can make all the ghosts and spirits show their original shape, but under the pressure of internal and external troubles, if there is any more shaking in the middle of the court, I am afraid that the Ming Society will only be left in a mess!

The two sentences in the Empress Dowager's last words echoed in his ears.

"Sheji is the society of the ancestors; The army and the people are the ······ of the ancestors."
