"Your Highness's stay in the annex this time is different from last time, this time it looks like it's nothing!" Mama Cui served tea to Zhu Qiming and looked at him for a long time, with a dazed look in her eyes.

Zhu Qiming leisurely took the cup and drank the tea, took a sip, and immediately returned to the case, "After a lot of experience, you can think about it." ”

"The slave and maid will go to take care of the Qin family's visit to Qingning Palace to greet each other, and once this matter is over, I hope that His Royal Highness will speak and count, so as not to make the slave and maid not good people." Mama Cui hesitated for a moment and walked towards the door.

"Mama, just relax, hehehe."

After Mama Cui left, Zhu Qiming went to the bookshelf and flipped through it, picked up the single book of "Zi Xufu" and returned to his seat.

He had also read Fu before, such as "The Divine Maiden Fu", "Feng Fu", "Deng's Disciple Lustful Fu", "Ask the King of Chu", etc., all of which were written by Song Yu. Although Sima Xiangru is a leader in the family, Zhu Qiming has really not read his masterpiece.

Turning over Sima Xiangru's masterpiece "Zi Xuan Fu", the beginning is very attractive, Zi Xu, Wu You, and Death is Gong, these three fictional characters are quite mysterious, which immediately made him have a great interest in reading. Read further, it doesn't feel very good, Sima Xiangru renders the Hongda scene of Tian Hunting can be described as magnificent, but unfortunately there are too many rare words, it is quite difficult to read, the first time I read this article, there is no possibility of reading it in one breath, and I have to check the "Explanation of Words" from time to time, and then I will recognize all the words first.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Yin'er hurriedly broke in, "Your Highness, Miss Lu is here, and she was blocked out of the door by the Jinyi guard, that hundred households are so fierce, shouting at Miss Lu, it's scary!" ”

Throwing down "Zi Xufu", he ran into the courtyard with a snort, picked up a wooden stick, and checked it, well, it's too heavy, and it will die!

Quickly put on a wooden stick that was very light and had fallen decay, rushed to the courtyard gate, and looked at the brocade guard who was crossed on his waist and shaking the majestic outfit of a hundred households, and with a bang, a stick smashed on the top of his head, and the wooden stick broke from it.

Baihu glanced at Zhu Qiming in a daze, then rolled his eyes, his body shook for a while, and he collapsed to the ground.

Cut, holding a rotten wood, this king only used fifty percent of his strength, can he be injured like this? That's too pompous, isn't it? Zhu Qiming was holding half a wooden stick, and swept his eyes towards the two brocade guards who were blocking in front of Lu Xiyu.

The two of them took a step back, closed their eyes, and staggered to the ground.

Cut! Zhu Qiming swept his eyes towards the others, but saw that those brocade-clothed guards had already retreated into the distance and turned sideways, as if they hadn't seen anything just now.

Zhu Qiming threw down the half of the wooden stick in his hand, and said angrily: "Listen well, she is the companion of this king, and she carries the waist card given by Princess Changde, who dares to stop her again, is to despise the royal family, beware of the brocade clothes and prison!" ”

"The little ones are just acting on orders, and no outsiders are allowed to enter or leave the other courtyard without a holy decree."

A low voice floated over, Zhu Qiming followed the reputation, and expected that the voice must have come from the hundred households who fell to the ground, and suddenly felt a little like laughing.

"Didn't you pass out?"

"Your Highness has killed so many Tartar thieves, and I was frightened when I was here, and then I thought that I was not a Tartar, so I woke up again."

Say faint, wake up? It's just that Jinyiwei has such a strange thing!

"Ignorant bastard thing! The emperor has personally promised that when the king returns from the north, he will allow this Miss Lu to enter the other courtyard to accompany him, and you can ask the emperor. ”

Jin Yiwei stopped squeaking, and Zhu Qiming looked at Lu Xiyu slowly, and when he saw her staring at him blankly, he grinned, "Sister, go into the courtyard." ”

Following Zhu Qiming through the aisle and onto the poolside corridor, Lu Xiyu pouted and muttered: "If you beat the palace guards without authorization, you will get into trouble!" ”

Zhu Qiming smiled and shook his head, "Do you really think that all this is the emperor's idea?" The emperor blew a little wind, and some people took the opportunity to sprinkle heavy rain, hum, trapping me in another courtyard, this is not my trouble, but someone else's trouble, see how they end! ”

The two walked through the corridor and went straight to the study, Yin'er and Quqing came over to say hello, and then retreated.

Lu Xiyu glanced at the "Zi Xuan Fu" on the case, and a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Reading "Zi Xuan Fu"? Do you know all the words? ”

Hey, how about you? Isn't that bullying? Zhu Qiming raised his neck unconvinced, "I ······" Immediately paused.

Lu Xiyu covered his mouth and smiled, and immediately straightened up, "I didn't want to enter the Forbidden City again, but I had to come because Yang Ge Lao talked to my father for a long time." ”

He is here to be a messenger again! Zhu Qiming was unhappy when he heard this, and then thought about it, Lu Xiyu was able to endure such a big humiliation and return to the other courtyard, which was already giving him a lot of face, what else was there to worry about!

"Sister doesn't have to worry about anything, you just heard it, let you go into the other courtyard to read with you, this is what the emperor meant."

Lu Xiyu's eyes were gloomy, noncommittal, and after a while, he turned his head sideways and talked about business: "Yang Ge Lao asked me to apologize to you. Originally, it was all calculated, that day Wang Zhen and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Hu went to the Huitong Pavilion to see several foreign missions, but Wang Zhen actually left the mission and suddenly returned to the Yongsu Palace. ”

Zhu Qiming sat down on the chair and stretched out his hand to invite Lu Xiyu to take a seat. "I tried my best, and Elder Yang Ge also tried his best, but the hundreds of officials in the court and the central government have different thoughts, and they must no longer be counted on!"

Lu Xiyu sat down and looked at Zhu Qiming in surprise, "The hundred officials in the court and the central government have the same idea as you, how can you say that you don't expect them?" ”

"It's not consistent at all! I just want to get rid of the traitors, but they want to bring down the whole group of eunuchs. ”

"Isn't it good to suppress the eunuchs?"

"It's a good wish, but you have to have that ability! Some people like to take the shortcut to the south when they are young, and when they are old, they are not clean, so they have to find a strong man to cover them, so now the hundreds of officials in the court and the central government are attached to Wang Zhen no less than fifty percent, and a group of people who secretly take refuge in Wang Zhen conspire to calculate Wang Zhen, don't you think this is very ridiculous? Wang Zhen probably learned the news a long time ago, and the reason why he still went to the Huitong Pavilion was just because he wanted to set up a maze array. ”

"You mean, Guo Jin, the dignified official of the Ministry of Shangshu, also took refuge in Wang Zhen?"

"Last year, Yu Shi Cao Tai impeached Guo Jin and others for unfair elections, forming a party for personal gain, Guo Jin almost lost his office, didn't he take refuge in Wang Zhenxing? Now that Guo Jin's son Guo Liang has been exposed to a bribery scandal, he is increasingly inseparable from Wang Zhen's protection. ”

Lu Xiyu was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, "Yang Ge Lao, what should they do?" ”

"Let this matter be cold for a while, and act as if nothing had happened. Now that the Ming Dynasty and Warat are rarely at peace, the important ministers of the court should focus on the overall situation, rectify the discipline as soon as possible, enrich the treasury, select soldiers, and make full preparations for the future contest between the Ming Dynasty and Warat. ”

After saying this, Zhu Qiming suddenly remembered the story of Fan Sui, a famous man in the Warring States Period, about the "Divine Cong". Now looking at the world, the whole Ming seems to be really six gods without masters, the gods do not attach to the community, at this time, he is a prince secretly plotting this big thing, faintly holding up the gods of the Ming Dynasty, and has to do it, so the blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable!

Over there, Lu Xiyu looked puzzled, "If the eunuchs are not removed, how can the court and the central government seek great things?" ”

Zhu Qiming stared, "You must know how to detour in everything." Rectification of discipline is a big game of chess, and many chess pieces can be loaded into it, for example, to make those courtiers who have taken refuge in Wang Zhen understand that they are not clean, even if they are attached to Wang Zhen, it is in vain. It's called going to the bottom! ”

"You mean to attack Guo Jin and the others? However, isn't there Wang Zhen covering? ”

"There are some things that Wang Zhen may not dare to meddle in, for example, the draft girl in the palace, Guo Jin and others are suspected of fraud, Wang Zhen is afraid that he will not be able to avoid such things!"

"This matter involves the Queen Mother'······" As soon as the Empress Dowager was mentioned, Lu Xiyu's eyes suddenly froze, and his face turned pale, "The matter involves the Empress Dowager, how dare Yang Ge Lao and them rashly make enemies again?" ”

"Elder Yang Ge hasn't realized yet, they are already making enemies, and they are making a bigger political enemy!" Zhu Qiming got up slowly and stood by the window, "Before the death of the first emperor, he sent an edict to a group of auxiliary ministers, ordering them to show the empress dowager in case of major events. It's okay that the Queen Mother doesn't listen to political affairs, but in a family matter like a draft girl in the harem, can the Queen Mother just ask? Didn't the important ministers of the court know that the Empress Dowager issued an edict last year? Some people used the excuse that the Empress Dowager's energy was declining and she couldn't be a director, so she made her own words and directly admonished the Son of Heaven, which was disloyal to the first emperor and disrespectful to the Empress Dowager! ”

Lu Xiyu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Oh, I understand, although this matter is Guo Jin and the others' own opinion, but Yang Ge Lao is an auxiliary minister, so he can make some other articles from it in the name of paying tribute to the Empress Dowager." Isn't this your plan to kill birds with one stone? ”

Zhu Qiming laughed and invited Lu Xiyu to sit next to the chess case, "Sister, I want to play against you." ”

Lu Xiyu shook his head, "There's still business." Yang Ge asked me to ask you, Wang Zhen claimed a lot of suspicious things about Xining, isn't he worried that Xining really has the evil deeds of secretly communicating with Wara? ”

Zhu Qiming's face sank, "I am also suspicious of this matter, and I can't rush it now, so I have to wait for a detailed investigation in the future." But one thing is certain, that is, with Xining, the complaints of the court and the central government against Zhonggui fell on Xining, and Wang Zhen saved a lot of trouble. In terms of bearing resentment alone, Xining is similar to Wang Zhen's stand-in, Yang Ge Lao will not fail to understand this truth, but he always uses the heart of a Confucian to control the belly of the eunuch, and it is inevitable that he will be wishful thinking, so that's it. ”

Lu Xiyu pondered for a long time and slowly got up, "I have to go." Glancing at Zhu Qiming, he turned around and walked towards the door.

"Sister, wait." Zhu Qiming hurriedly chased after him, "I am wearing a jade pendant, and when it is cold, I take it off and wear it again, at first I always feel cold and fluttering, very uncomfortable, please ask my sister to weave a veil for me and cover the jade pendant." ”

Lu Xiyu glanced at Zhu Qiming with disgust, "I'm not your maid." Stepping out of the door, he suddenly stopped, and beckoned to Yin'er and Qu Qing outside, "Yin'er, Qu Qing, has your female red grown?" Well, since I have come, I will teach you. ”

"Okay, okay!"

Yin'er and Qu Qing smiled and walked around Lu Xiyu to the side hall.
