Zhu Qiming finally got a glimpse of the emperor's thoughts.

The Son of Heaven in front of him is because he is young, so he hides a heart that is ready to move under his quiet appearance. He must have dreamed of the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch, but every impulse was suppressed by Chaoyi, by the minister's elegant persuasion, and by the forces of all sides, and he couldn't move.

He has studied the past and the present, and knows all about court affairs, but unfortunately he is not good at integrating what he has learned and thought, what he has seen and heard, and he can't find the flashpoint where he can show his grandeur in the open air. And Zhu Qiming just happened to help him find that point, just like Fang Cai, as soon as Zhu Qiming prompted, the emperor could have an epiphany, and the words used to play the topic were full of weight, which made it difficult for a well-educated person like Yang Rong to refute.

Zhu Qiming is outward-looking and worried about the role he can play, after all, such a role is very easy to become the "car" in the car guard, not to mention, the mind of the Son of Heaven still makes him feel unfamiliar.

"Qi Ming, let me think about the matter of attacking the throne. It's not that I don't want you to take the throne, but after you take the throne, what happens next makes it difficult for me. The emperor's voice was slow, and there was a smile in his eyes.

What happened after the ascension? Is that going to the domain? I don't know if the emperor is embarrassed about how not to let himself go to the domain, or because he is not sure where to go to the domain!

Zhu Qiming didn't want to pay attention to the matter of attacking the throne at all, he had seen the sparks from the collision between the emperor and the auxiliary ministers, and felt that if Mr. Lu became the emperor's teacher, it would be more difficult for him to get along with the ministers of the court and the central government, and Mr. Lu would also be difficult to deal with, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The minister understands." Your Majesty, Mr. Lu is not a Hanlin, if he is the emperor, I am afraid that it will make the monarch and the minister in a dilemma. ”

This remark came from the mouth of a prince, which seemed a bit presumptuous, but the emperor seemed to be in a very good mood, "Although I am the Son of Heaven, many things cannot be as desired. I don't want others to shoehorn the emperor into my side, I always want to appoint the emperor······ That's it, that's the end of the matter, you step down. ”

After leaving the Yongsu Palace, Zhu Qiming went back to the Qingyuan Palace, and heard that Lu Xi's father and daughter had left the palace, so he rushed back to Qingning Palace. On the way, he suddenly remembered the words that Yang Rong left when he was leaving, and he suddenly felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart.

After all, he took a risky move to help the emperor satisfy his curiosity about the arbitrariness of the cadres, but he rashly stood on the opposite side of the auxiliary minister, once the auxiliary minister attacked him, what would the emperor do? Can the emperor withstand the pressure of his ministers?

"Your Highness, Your Highness! Uh, uh, uh······"

Mao Gui's familiar shout came from behind him, Zhu Qiming turned to look, and saw Mao Gui shaking his arms, half-bent over, and his feet were bumping and turning, obviously running too hard, and accidentally stepped on the ditch and lost his balance.

"Poof", Mao Gui still planted himself in the drainage ditch, and when he climbed up, he was already covered in mud.

"Your Highness, the ministers of the court and the central government are gathered in the Fengtian Palace, and the auxiliary ministers are asking the emperor to move the Fengtian Palace, perhaps for the sake of His Highness······ The matter of going to the feudal domain. Mao Gui stood on the edge of the ditch and spoke, raising his hand to wipe the water droplets on his face, and as a result, he wiped a big flower face.

It's coming so fast, it's really retribution! Zhu Qiming said quietly: "Did the Queen Mother order you to come?" ”

Mao Gui nodded, his feet slipped, and his body suddenly leaned back, "Uh, uh, uh······" screamed and fell into the gutter again.

Zhu Qiming shook his head, secretly said "unlucky", and said sympathetically: "It's cold in the ditch, you go back and change your clothes." Then he turned and left.

Sooner or later, this turmoil is coming, and it is better to come early than late!

The crisis is both a "danger" and an "opportunity", and if you can resolve this sudden turmoil, your own visit to the feudal domain will be put on hold indefinitely, at least until you become an adult. When I really get to that point, I will be completely settled down in the next few years!

Zhu Qiming calmed down, and thought of the imperial grandmother in his heart. His foundation is still shallow, and he can't do without the imperial grandmother at this time.

Back at Qingning Palace, the Empress Dowager was waiting for him a little anxiously, obviously she already knew the news from the Yongsu Hall and the Fengtian Palace. Seeing the demeanor of the imperial grandmother, Zhu Qiming was a little sad, the imperial grandmother is old after all, she has not heard about political affairs for several years, and a serious illness has left sequelae, she has lost her former grace, no longer has the grace of the past, no longer has the grace of lifting weights, commanding the style, now, she is more like a grandmother!

"The emperor is still anxious! The imperial grandmother has already let go of a hand for him, and the hand of the assistant minister will be released sooner or later, so why rush? If you can't make a scene, you will pull a cushion back! ”

Thinking that the emperor's grandmother was obviously biased towards herself, and did not hesitate to secretly reprimand the emperor behind her back, Zhu Qiming felt that this situation was probably a blessing or a curse for him, and he could not let it continue, so he persuaded: "Grandmother Huang, the emperor is not to blame for this matter." The emperor is almost an adult, and at this time, the holy will is so important! The ministers have to figure it out carefully, but unfortunately, the emperor is changing, and the auxiliary ministers don't know how to change, and they look at people with old eyes, who knows what they think! ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head, "Now the Ming Dynasty is still inseparable from the auxiliary ministers, now it's okay, you are a young prince, mixed with the affairs between the emperor and the courtiers, the ministers must think that the royal family is violating the pre-government, and this matter is inconvenient to say clearly, they will make a fuss about the things that are convenient to say, presumably they are thinking in their hearts: drive away the prince of Yue, and never suffer for the court!" ”

Is that really what you think? They don't have the slightest bit of selfishness? In this regard, Zhu Qiming was deeply suspicious, but said: "Isn't there still an emperor?" ”

The Empress Dowager looked lonely, "Emperor? The emperor is afraid that he will not be able to withstand such a big battle alone, alas, the imperial grandmother is deaf and dazzled, old man, it is not the same as before, the imperial grandmother has spoken first, and no longer participates in court politics. How good is that? ”

Zhu Qiming naturally thought of Concubine Wu. He didn't inquire about the bizarre story of the imperial grandmother's illness to recovery in the past few years, and he didn't know if there was an unknown secret behind it, but he noticed that the imperial grandmother was very cold to the queen mother and Concubine Wu, and seemed to be extremely reluctant to see the two of them. However, his encounter ultimately required the help of Concubine Wu, and Concubine Wu would definitely be willing to help with this, so he had to remind the imperial grandmother to pay attention to the role of Concubine Wu.

"Imperial grandmother, your grandchildren are almost adults, and King Yu is also about to become adults, if Qi Ming goes to the domain, it will surely make many people uneasy, and it is not only the imperial grandmother who is worried."

The Empress Dowager was stunned, and immediately a look of disgust appeared on her face, she pondered for a long time, gritted her teeth and instructed the inner servant: "Pass on the Wu family!" ”

The chamberlain took the order and left, and the Empress Dowager sighed with a straight face: "I think you also know that most of the officials in the court and the central government are towards the Wu family, and they have never changed for so many years. As soon as Fu'an Palace moved, how could another person in the Forbidden City be willing to be a queen? It's okay like this, it's rare for them to join forces, the two join forces, and the assistant minister is afraid that it will be difficult to end! ”

The other person? That's naturally the Queen Mother!

The Empress Dowager's words involve palace secrets, that is, now that the Empress Dowager's sanity has declined, she will not shy away from it, and she will never reach Zhu Qiming's ears if she puts it in the past! However, it didn't matter if the Empress Dowager said casually, but Zhu Qiming couldn't talk. So, at this moment, silence is golden!

Within a stick of incense, Concubine Wu hurried to Qingning Palace, and after seeing the gift seat, she looked calm, and her face seemed to be proud, but it was covered by the habitual grievance at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

The Empress Dowager moved her lips and opened her mouth very reluctantly: "People are old and useless, and they always love to be quiet, but I heard people say that the previous dynasty was very quiet, but it was not easy to be quiet." ”

"The Empress Dowager is already in good spirits, even so, she can't let the trivial matters outside disturb her." Concubine Wu moved her eyes and looked at Zhu Qiming quietly for a while, "Empress Dowager, the concubine likes Qi Ming's child very much, it is better to let Qi Ming live in Fu'an Palace and be accompanied by Qi Yu, the concubine must treat Qi Mingru well, what is better than that······ Lu Fang's is more than 100 times stronger! ”

The Empress Dowager was shocked, and immediately reluctantly relieved her complexion, "My old bones can last for two or three years." ”

Concubine Wu was slightly disappointed and muttered: "Alas, it's also strange that the concubines are useless, you want to entrust Qi Ming to others after all." ”

The Empress Dowager's eyes flashed, and her chest began to rise and fall, "You go!" ”

Concubine Wu was suddenly at a loss, "The Empress Dowager, the concubines have no ······"

"Let's go!"

Concubine Wu got up a little flustered and gave a salute, and glanced at Zhu Qiming before leaving, and Zhu Qiming hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

A conversation broke up unhappily, Zhu Qiming was not worried that Concubine Wu would change, how could Concubine Wu stay out of the matter! He was only worried about the body of the imperial grandmother, so he trotted to her side, wanting to comfort her, but saw the queen mother stand up and grab his hand.

"Go, Grandmother Huang doesn't want this old face! Let's go to Fengtian Temple and see who can bear to bully our ancestors and grandchildren! ”
