The official was still noisy in Fengtian Palace, and the emperor was reluctant to return to Yongsu Palace, so he accepted Zhu Qiming's Majesty in Qianqing Palace.

After entering the palace, Zhu Qiming didn't say a word, didn't look at the throne, just silently bowed, and stood solemnly after being allowed to flat.

There is a cold feeling in the air that is difficult to shake off, and this coldness does not come from the solemn atmosphere when His Majesty sees him, but from the psychological distance between the Son of Heaven and the Prince.

Except for Jin Lian, the secretary of the criminal department who was far away in Fujian, the rest of the eight kings were all present, and they only needed to glance at the emperor and the king of Yue, and they realized that today's majesty was hiding the undercurrent of rupture. However, after all, they are well-informed, and when they encounter such an extraordinary scene, they have the temperament to be unfazed, and they all stand calmly, just as usual.

Jin Ying entered, "Your Majesty, Zhou Lin came to confess." ”

The emperor and Baqing were both stunned. Over the years, the sons and daughters of the nobles and eunuchs have repeatedly exceeded the law, and in order to harm the capital, the government offices at all levels are always covering up, and the nobles and eunuchs involved have all done everything possible to wash the floor, who will stick out their heads to pick up the bricks? However, a miracle happened today, and a son of the emperor who was in the middle of the day actually came forward to confess his guilt, which in Baqing's opinion, it was incredible!

The emperor pondered for a moment, and raised his eyes to stare at Zhu Qiming. The emperor still had doubts in his heart, but he knew very well that from a political point of view, Zhou Lin came to ask for guilt, which did not seem to affect the political correctness of the Son of Heaven. That's enough!

"Biography."

In the voice of the inner servant, Zhou Lin entered with a little trepidation, caught a glimpse of Zhu Qiming, his face softened, and then he stepped forward quickly, almost stopping next to Zhu Qiming, and then knelt on the ground.

The monarch and the minister were stunned again. Zhou Lin, who was left in custody by King Yue, seemed to trust King Yue very much, and was very uninterested in Baqing, who wanted to protect him. Could it be that Zhou Lin's brain was frightened?

"The criminal minister Zhou Lin knocks on His Majesty the Emperor! The minister was young and ignorant, repeatedly gathered to fight, and injured the innocent, robbed the dancer and singer, and the minister knew that the crime was serious, so he came to the palace to ask for a decree. The minister will return the dancers and singers as soon as possible, and pay compensation to the injured families. The minister implores His Majesty's quasi-ministers to join the army and fight on the border, and wait for the future to make meritorious service on the battlefield in order to atone for their previous sins! ”

Baqing suddenly stopped caring about his demeanor, and crossed his eyebrows and eyes. They originally thought that after Zhou Lin confessed his crimes, the reputation of the Zhou family would stink on the street, but at this moment, everyone did not think that the reputation of the Zhou family was unbearable, but thought that Zhou Lin was pitiful. In the eyes of everyone, Concubine Zhou, who lives in Changning Palace, is simply aware of righteousness, and her image is incomparably tall!

What was a bad thing turned into a good thing!

The emperor naturally has a keen ability to capture the opportunity to get political points, but he can't bear to send the young Zhou Lin to the bitter cold land after all. Besides, Zhu Qiming has to show his attitude on this matter, otherwise, there will be no way to talk about all the aftermath.

The emperor had to test Zhu Qiming with words.

"King Yue, where should Zhou Lin go to the border?"

Zhu Qiming's face was expressionless, "Forbidden Pass." ”

"Quasi-play!" Before Zhu Qiming's words fell, the emperor hurriedly spoke.

The Forbidden Pass is not a bitter cold place, it is not far from the capital, and there is no harassment of Tartar thieves, it is very safe, so the emperor can't wait to end the matter. He didn't want to discuss it with Zhongqing anymore, because it was already the best result to let Zhou Lin go to the Forbidden Pass to guard.

Besides, the Forbidden Pass is also a pass, but Du Youyou's mouth is not!

The emperor was secretly happy in his heart, but he finally had to make a gesture to Zhou Lin, "I will spare you this time, and after you go back, according to what you said, take care of the aftermath properly, choose a day to join the army, and dare to exceed the law in the future, I will not spare it!" Let's go down. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and obey the emperor's orders!"

Zhou Lin got up and threw a half-angry, half-happy look at Zhu Qiming, and then left.

Zhongqing was still stunned there, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet. Under the shroud of the corrupt atmosphere of the protection of officials and officials, the phenomenon of the children of the honorable relatives and the children of the official eunuchs harming the people of the capital has become a stubborn disease. Therefore, Zhongqing had to carefully figure out Zhu Qiming's intentions.

If the king of Yue was allowed to act like this, many of the stubborn diseases in the court seemed to be curable, and there would be no uproar at all. Drawing inferences from one another, it seems that it is not difficult to dispel the many evils that plagued Daming.

And the reason why many abuses have accumulated and are difficult to return, if nothing else, is because of the private thoughts of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and no one wants to be a wicked person!

After a while, Zhongqing realized that Zhou Lin's confession today was of considerable exemplary significance. Just imagine, the emperor's brother-in-law is still like this, from now on, how dare others bully others? Moreover, the children of your family have always monopolized the profiteering industry, and also took advantage of the situation to make the general industry into a profiteering industry, from which to grab huge wealth, if they know the convergence, they can make way for ordinary people to make a large living space, this is the only way to promote the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty!

What's more, with the example of Zhou Lin, the children of Jingzhong Xun are afraid that they will rush to join the army. At the time of the national crisis, the demonstration effect of this move will have a far-reaching positive impact on the Ming Dynasty to overcome the difficulties.

When Wang Zhi and the others looked at Zhu Qiming again, there was a trace of respect in their eyes. Their children and grandchildren uphold the family motto of poetry and books, and they don't have to join the army, but they know that it is time to strictly control their children and grandchildren, otherwise, Zhou Lin, who has no homicide, still pleaded guilty and set an example.

Of course, there are also people among the secretaries who scoff at Zhu Qiming's intentions. Hmph, King Yue took revenge for personal gain, and wanted to pretend to be a good person, but he was just deceiving the world and stealing his name!

Hu Hui came out of class, "Your Majesty, King Yue will see your Majesty in advance, and please ask Your Majesty to discuss the matter of King Yue's visit to the domain." ”

Zhu Qiming realized that the critical moment had arrived in advance, his face was light, but there was a trace of unyielding stubbornness on the corner of his mouth.

The emperor's attention finally returned to Zhu Qiming, "Zhongqing thinks, where should King Yue go?" ”

Isn't this knowingly asked? Hu Hui bowed, "Your Majesty, King Yue should go to Dengzhou Mansion in Shandong." ”

The emperor glanced at Zhu Qiming, and quickly looked at Wang Zhi again, "Dengzhou Mansion Binhai is the location of Penglai Immortal Pavilion, well, not bad!" ”

Wang Zhi was silent.

Zhu Qiming slowly turned around and faced Zhongqing, "Sheji is troublesome, Xiao Wang, as a descendant of the Zhu family, at this time, regardless of internal and external troubles, he went to Penglai Wonderland to be at ease, Xiao Wang is at peace in his heart!" ”

Hu Hu said with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry about the major affairs of the society. The imperial court sent a large army to suppress it, and the civil uprising in Zhejiang and Fujian was about to be pacified, and the diplomatic relations between the Ming Dynasty and Wara, the emperor and the hundred officials in the court had their own good policies for this, and peace could be expected. ”

At the right time, the sky was already dark, and the palace lights outside the door were lit one after another, and the night was about to fall on Bauhinia City.

May the gentleman's family leave Beijing safely and take care all the way!

This thought flashed in his mind, Zhu Qiming put away his thoughts, and looked at Hu Hu lightly, "The Empress Dowager's last words say: 'Sheji is the Sheji of the ancestors; The army and the people are the soldiers and the people of the ancestors', Xiao Wang did not dare to forget this. More than 10 years ago, the public said that the Ming Dynasty was in its heyday, but now, on the territory left by the ancestors, the ancestors' army and the ancestors' civil war were together, and the blood in Zhejiang and Fujian was flowing into a river, thousands of miles of red land, and countless refugees were displaced. ”

These words are openly questioning the character of the minister, and they are also questioning the authority of the Son of Heaven, and their tone is low, but they are as deafening as thunder. saw the emperor stand up straight, and all the secretaries were stunned.
