Chapter 354: Embarrassing Shangshu
Seeing that Zheng He had eaten gunpowder and started the prelude to an indiscriminate attack, Tang Ming hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Zheng He towards the mansion. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Although this palace is heavily guarded, it is also a place of right and wrong. The most important people in the imperial city are eunuchs and palace maids, these people usually like to inquire about things when they are free, why do they add more talking points, or in order to inquire about the news of the master, these are the most basic survival requirements in the imperial city.
Tang Ming didn't want to be beaten by Zheng He in public, and it would spread in the imperial city tomorrow, so it would be better to go to the mansion to explain. Zhu Gaochi immediately followed without saying a word, he knew that Zheng He must have come for the affairs of southern Fujian, and this would appear in the palace and he must have come here to see the emperor, he wanted to know what the emperor thought about this matter?
When he came to the small garden of the prince's mansion, Zhu Gaochi immediately waved his hand to drive out all the servants who were waiting, and then sat aside curiously and prepared to listen to what Zheng He had to say.
Zheng He's angry appearance made Tang Ming also want to know what Zhu Di told him, and then asked: "Father-in-law, I really can't complain about this matter!" Someone joined forces with the officials of southern Fujian to secretly put me to death. Didn't you say last time that I had bad intentions on Ryukyu Island? It must have been that seeing that it didn't work, he came up with such a bad idea to embarrass me. It's my father-in-law who just came from the emperor! ”
Tang Ming's people were in Nanjing, and Zheng He also knew in his heart that he would not do anything wrong on Ryukyu Island. If he really wanted to do this, he would definitely choose Jeju Island instead of Ryukyu Island. He also guessed the reason for this, and the battle for Zhu Gaochi's crown prince must be related to the second prince.
Nodding, Zheng He also admitted that he was angry because Tang Ming had already chosen to leave this meeting and came back, and it was not he who was looking for trouble. Sighing in his heart, Zheng He did not hide the emperor's intentions, and said to him: "The emperor wants me not to meddle in this matter, and he will send someone else to mediate." I didn't say much to avoid suspicion. After all, our relationship is here, and I will be labeled as unfair when I go. ”
Tang Ming laughed, Zhu Di was afraid that Zheng He would bend the law for personal gain, he had another purpose at all, and this purpose was nothing more than to see the battle between Zhu Gaochi and the second prince. In this way, he judged who was superior and who was inferior to the two, and Zhu Gaochi's dislike made Zhu Di always sway left and right in the matter of the prince, so he needed a reason that could convince him to determine who should be the prince.
Tang Ming understood Zhu Di's thoughts very well, but Zhu Di treated him as a singer for his entertainment, so Tang Ming was unwilling. Besides, Zhu Di is now using his Ryukyu Island as the stage for this scene. Ryukyu Island was of great significance to Tang Ming, and he couldn't make the slightest mistake, so he wouldn't be ambiguous at all in this matter.
Zheng He saw that Tang Ming was deep in thought, and asked suspiciously, "Is there another secret in this?" ”
Tang Ming nodded, he was also hesitating to tell Zheng He about this, after all, he still hadn't really participated in the battle for Zhu Gaochi's crown prince. If he found out, it would be difficult for him to get out.
Zhu Gaochi was not as hesitant as Tang Ming, he knew that this was an excellent opportunity, so the monkey hurriedly said before Tang Ming could speak: "Father must have done this because he wanted to take the postgraduate examination for me and my second brother, so he didn't let the superintendent get involved!" ”
Zheng He immediately suddenly, no wonder the emperor still had an indifferent expression after learning about the affairs of southern Fujian, it turned out that it was out of such considerations, which can be explained very well. Thinking of this, Zheng He already felt that he had nothing to worry about, as long as the matter was not caused by Tang Ming's nonsense, everything was easy to say.
The battle between Zhu Gaochi and the second prince, he has always followed Yao Guangxiao, Yao Guangxiao has now concentrated on compiling books for the emperor, and he naturally devoted himself to his sailing dream. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, their master is Zhu Di, as for Zhu Gaochi, they only need to hand it over to Tang Ming to do his work.
The next day, the sky was just dawning, but Tang Ming had already put on his court clothes and rode to the imperial city in a carriage, the three-day holiday had passed, and today was the first day to go to court. There has been no news from southern Fujian so far, although Tang Ming is a little worried in his heart, but with Fei Xin, he believes that there will be no basket at the door****** and when Tang Ming arrives, it is already full of ministers waiting to enter the palace, and they gather in groups to greet each other. Tang Ming's carriage logo had already been replaced with the logo of Weihai Houfu, and as soon as he arrived, he quickly attracted the attention of the ministers. After all, he was good friends with Zhu Gaochi and Yao Guangxiao, and at this moment, his face was similar, and he showed a smile on his face.
And those who were already in the camp of the second prince were facing each other with stinky faces, and some officials pointed at Tang Ming's carriage with a look of disdain, muttering something to their companions in a low voice? Judging from his demeanor, Tang Ming didn't need to listen to what they said to know that there was no good thing to say. He automatically chose to turn a blind eye to this kind of person, and those who greeted him with a smile were also very polite, and the courtesy was even more thoughtful.
Tang Ming was looking for a place to stand, and saw that the Ministry of Industry Shangshu was waving to him non-stop, and Huang Fu was obviously not in the same camp as the other Shangshu at the moment. When the other Shangshu saw Huang Fu's actions, the expressions on their faces were not good-looking. In the past, everyone was still secretly squeezing him, and on the surface, their six books were still of the same mind.
But today, Huang Fu gave them an embarrassment as soon as he came, and it was just a matter of blatantly not standing in the ranks of their six Shangshu, and now he was reconciling with Tang Ming in front of everyone. The faces of other Shangshu were beaten, but Tang Ming snickered in his heart, he just likes Huang Fu's character, he simply never pushes and pulls when he does things, he doesn't want to be a wall grass with a clear love and hate, such a person is worthy of his Tang Ming's deep friendship.
"Lao Huang! You are so blatantly embarrassing the other Shangshu lords today, aren't you afraid that they will come to you to settle accounts after the autumn? Tang Ming leaned over to his side with a smile and whispered in his ear.
Huang Fu had a disdainful look on his face, and pouted and said: "The old man has always been ruthless, since they can't tolerate me, a bad old man, the old man still disdains to stick to other people's cold buttocks." I don't know if the old man can be accommodated here? ”
"Welcome, welcome! I don't dare to guarantee others, but Lao Huang, your personality is very much to my taste, and I think we will definitely become friends in the New Year! Huang Fu's blatant provocation surprised Tang Ming, but this was a good thing, he was too late to be happy, so he agreed with his mouth. (To be continued.) )
