"Your Majesty......"

In Kunning Palace, Empress Zhang seemed a little uneasy, when Zhu Youzhu got up early in the morning, he fell a lot of hair on the pillow, and saw that her husband was getting thinner, so that the early morning dynasty had to be canceled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhu Youzhu looked at the figures that appeared from time to time in the bronze mirror, and said in a flat tone: "What's the matter, sit down, I'm a little dizzy." ”

Empress Zhang had to sit down and said: "At this time, Duoduo should come to Kunning Palace to find a concubine to talk, now people are married, and the daughter who married out spilled the water, more than ten years have passed, and now there is no one left, my heart as a mother is always empty, and I don't know if she is good over there, she won't be bullied." ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said: "What can she be bullied for, you are too worried, don't be afraid, he is my daughter, a princess, no one can bully her, her daughter grows up, she should naturally marry out, this is fate." ”

Empress Zhang had no choice but to nod, glanced at Zhu Youzhu deeply, and said, "Your Majesty is right, but the concubine thinks too much. Yes, that Jiang Bing committed such a big crime, and he should be severely punished. Then again, Liu Chengfeng cracked the case, and he can be regarded as making a great contribution at this critical moment, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable, such a great credit, Your Majesty doesn't want to reward it? ”

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help laughing and said, "You, this princess just got married, and she can't wait to make a contribution to her son-in-law, for fear that I will treat him badly." ”

Empress Zhang just laughed, her thoughts, how could the emperor not see through, in fact, Empress Zhang has always been a short-term protector, her two brothers are not trying their best to protect back, back then, someone sued the two brothers for illegality, Queen Zhang was immediately angry, she didn't even want face, and directly cleaned up the imperial history of the complaint, for this, Queen Zhang was only afraid of leaving a not very glorious mark in the historical records.

Now for Empress Zhang, her relatives have one more Liu Chengfeng, in a sense, Liu Chengfeng is heavier than the family affection of the Zhang brothers, naturally it is inevitable to take precautions, plan for Liu Chengfeng, the heavenly family is rich all over the world, but the courtiers are favored again, there is always a limit to this net worth and power, Queen Zhang also understands that it is nothing more than to give a little more, giving Liu Chengfeng is also equivalent to giving her own daughter, this relationship Queen Zhang is clear.

Seeing Zhu Youzhu laughing at her, Empress Zhang didn't deny it, but just smiled and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that meritorious service should be rewarded and punished?" Liu Chengfeng's credit is not made up out of thin air, so why not reward it. ”

Zhu Youzhu refused to listen to Queen Zhang's words this time, and said: "Now is not the time, it's not that I'm stingy, and it's not that I don't favor Princess Taikang......" Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Zhu Youzhu sighed and said: "These rewards should be left to Houzhao, my reward is over, if you give him favors now, how will Houzhao give him favors in the future?" The Son of Heaven can't give favors to his courtiers, so how can he make his courtiers work hard. Although Houzhao and Liu Chengfeng are in the same breath, after all, they will still be monarchs and ministers in the future, and I will leave something for Houzhao after all. ”

Empress Zhang didn't understand this kind of thing when she heard this, but when she saw that Zhu Youzhu said it in a very serious tone, she also knew that it was not trivial, so she immediately stopped insisting and said, "Your Majesty is right." ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled again: "Besides, I gave him the princess, which is the greatest reward for him, and this is enough." ”

Empress Zhang smiled and said, "I'm afraid that we will treat Princess Taikang as a treasure, but he will abandon it like a piece of." So he has to make him understand, and he must not treat the princess badly. ”

Zhu Youzhu shook his head and said: "This is not necessary, Liu Chengfeng's surname, I know a little bit, although he is sometimes confused, but he has always treated his own people well, this person is ruthless and affectionate." ”

Ruthless and affectionate...... This is Zhu Youzhang's evaluation of Liu Chengfeng, and Queen Zhang couldn't help but say: "If you are ruthless, how can you be affectionate?" ”

Zhu Youzhang's head had been combed by the eunuchs, he looked at the bronze mirror with satisfaction, stood up and said with a smile: "Only sentient people are ruthless, this truth is actually very simple, just like I love Princess Taikang, regard him as the pearl of the palm, and be obedient to her, willing to give her the best things in the world, this is affectionate, isn't it?" But the traitor Jiang Bing actually deceived the palace and almost pushed the princess into the fire pit, because I licked the calf for the princess, so naturally Long Yan couldn't help but be angry, and he was ruthless to this Jiang Bing, and he would never forgive. ”

When these words came out of Zhu Youjiao's mouth, Empress Zhang finally understood, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty's reasoning is interesting." ”

At this time, the eunuch had already begun to change Zhu Youjiao's clothes, the wide crown dress was put on his body, he pointed to the jade belt sent by the eunuchs with a slight trembling finger, and said: "This jade belt is too heavy, go change it to a light one." ”

The eunuch who was holding the clothes plate immediately bowed down, Zhu Youzhu sighed, and said: "Recently, I feel more and more tired, very tired, I don't know what is going on, it seems that those medicines prescribed by the Tai Hospital to protect the liver and nourish qi have no effect, and there is no need to sacrifice them in the future." Didn't Liu Chengfeng say that there was a recipe for food and conditioning? Follow his recipe. Did the prince go to the cabinet today? ”

One of the eunuchs replied, "Go." ”

Since the emperor can't go to the early court, Zhu Youzhu Suo surname made a decree, let the prince Zhu Houzhao go to the cabinet to participate in politics, sometimes some court discussions, if the emperor can't go, let the prince go to listen to the government, Zhu Youzhu nodded, said: "Learn more, see more, it's good for him, he is good at martial arts, but he can't sit in the world, only if you know that the country is difficult, you can be a good emperor." ”

After getting dressed, Zhu Youzhu paced back and forth in this hall for a few steps: "The pressure on the Xuanfu side has dropped sharply, it is said that the Watt Thorn Khan Court and the Saikan Khan have been fighting for a long time, and the two sides have no choice but to win or lose, you can transfer a border army back to Beijing, the general soldier Zheng Tang, this person has always been steady, very loyal and brave, let him transfer a team of soldiers and horses back to defend." ”

Zhu Youzhu gave an order very casually, at first glance, it seemed that this was just the emperor's whim, but if you think about it deeply, the emperor's intention may not be as simple as a whim.

Zheng Tang has an identity, he is the cousin of the concubine, and this concubine has been taken care of by Zhu Youzhang, these people have surrounded Zhu Youjiao, and fought against Wan Guifei, although Zheng Tang is the chief soldier, and the title is only the Marquis of Jing'an, but he is loyal to Zhu Youzhang, and he is also obedient to the prince.

Zhu Youzhu took a bite of the tea that was sent, and a father-in-law bowed in and said, "Your Majesty, Lian Guogong Liu has arrived in the wind." ”

Empress Zhang couldn't help but say on the side: "He's here?" I don't know what happened, didn't the princess come with him? ”

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't be so nervous, he entered the palace mostly for the matter of the trial of the three divisions, and he wants to talk to me about that Jiang Bing, I went to see him, Princess Taikang is fine in the Lianguo Mansion." Then he instructed the eunuch, "Go, call the people to the temple of the heart, and I will come immediately." ”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… In the temple of the heart.

Liu Chengfeng sat and drank tea, the tea in the palace was good, but the eunuch who made the tea didn't know if it had changed, Liu Chengfeng always felt that something was missing, he crossed his legs, waited until he coughed outside, and when he saw Zhu Youzhu coming in with his hands behind his back, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youzhu just glanced at him and said, "Coming?" ”

It's a very common sentence, and it's not polite.

Liu Chengfeng replied with a smile: "Yes, Weichen just came from the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Zhu Youzhu nodded, sat down in his seat, and made a look, and all the eunuchs in this hall retreated. After everyone was gone, he asked slowly, "How is the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" ”

"Okay, good, this yamen was built in the seventh year of Hongzhi, and it is extremely magnificent, a little more magnificent than the household."

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help coughing, knocked the imperial case with his hand, and said, "What I'm talking about is the case, not for you to go to see the yamen." ”

For this Liu Chengfeng, Zhu Youzhang is angry and funny, this guy is obviously deliberate, but Zhu Youzhang also knows that the conversation just now was a little too serious, Liu Chengfeng deliberately adjusted the atmosphere, so he couldn't help but smile.

Liu Chengfeng became solemn and said: "After the trial, it is almost the same as Wei Chen expected, then Jiang Bing really talked about the benefits of King Ning, and he was not disrespectful." ”

Zhu Youzhu narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "What did you say?" ”

Liu Chengfeng just laughed: "It's just that there is a villain around Your Majesty, what else?" Now he wishes that King Ning's side would immediately raise troops, and it would be difficult to be in Fengtian. ”

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's stupid! ”

Liu Chengfeng just smiled and said: "Although it is stupid, but this also shows that King Ning's scheming is too deep, and he can win people's hearts to this point, unfathomable, Your Majesty, do you want to continue to investigate this case, and if you investigate it again, I am afraid that the traces of King Ning will be exposed." ”

Although it was just a casual question, the two people present knew that this question involved the issue of national policy, whether the imperial court would force King Ning to rebel now, whether the imperial court planned to quell the rebellion now, if it was ready to do something against King Ning, this case would not only be investigated, but also announced to the public.
