Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Houwei slowly walked through the line of ministers of civil and military affairs, came to the first row, and after entering the door, he slowly restrained his smile and replaced it with a serious, heavy expression, as if to say, "I am wrong, I confess." ”
The ministers were very surprised, the news of Zhu Houwei's appearance in Quanzhou was sent to the capital day and night, even if he took a boat, he should not have come back so soon. Apparently they are very unaware of the performance of the new sailboats. Zhu Houwei didn't notice that after many people saw him appear, their eyes changed, some hesitated, some were clear, and all of them were thoughtful.
Today is the first time Zhu Houwei appeared in the court, and when he came over, he was still thinking in his heart, "It feels like it's not much different from what it is on TV, at most, the quality of the extras is a cut higher than that of later generations, and it can be regarded as a conscience drama." ”
The courtier's gaze only made Zhu Houwei feel a little uncomfortable, and when he got to the front, he knelt down on his knees, kowtowed, and said, "The retainer knocks to see the emperor." "This is the court, the most important place in the Ming Dynasty, and you can't use the usual etiquette at this time.
Hongji raised his right hand, "Flatten." "Father Xie." Zhu Houwei stood up, raised his head slightly, and found that Hongji on the dragon chair was very different from usual. In private, Hongzhi generally wears regular clothes of different colors, but today it is a yellow dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, which is more majestic in Zhu Houwei's eyes, with a black crown of good wings on his head, which is generous and solemn. When Zhu Houzhao and the two brothers were together, his eyes were soft, but now, he was an emperor, with an expressionless face and indifference in his eyes, Zhu Houwei felt that Hongzhi at this time was high, and they were not in the same world as ordinary people.
"You went to Quanzhou a few days ago?" Hongji's voice sounded, and it felt a little ethereal in this tall palace, and the most important thing was the sense of distance.
Zhu Houwei hurriedly replied, "Yes, Erchen has indeed been there." ”
"How did you get there?"
"Erchen was ordered to go to Tianjin to inspect Huangzhuang, and Ying Yang followed the ships of the land and water battalion to Quanzhou." Zhu Houwei's answer was simple and clear.
At this moment, a problem has been solved, Zhu Houwei went out of Beijing by order to go out of Beijing, whose order, needless to say, everyone knows, then, the prince can basically go out of Beijing without permission. After all, it is okay for the prince to inspect the Huangzhuang and his own property, although there is a lack of various official documents of the imperial court, but it is not a big crime.
Suddenly, Liu Daxia in the team walked out again, staring at Zhu Houwei coldly, "Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Fu, how did His Highness arrive in Quanzhou by mistake." ”
Liu Daxia's prestige in the court is very high, and his qualifications are also deep, so if he comes out alone to question an idle prince, everyone can understand, at least in line with Liu Daxia's temperament, dare to speak.
Anyway, Zhu Houwei knew that the ministers would definitely get to the bottom of it, so he replied, "On that day, the king went to the water and land camp to dock on the boat at the pier, and then he rested on the boat after being a little sleepy." Unexpectedly, someone came to report that the pirate force Wang Quan appeared, fled south, and the water and land battalion immediately set off to pursue the pirates, but did not find the king at that time, and when the king came out of the cabin, the ship had already arrived overseas. ”
"Then why didn't the generals of the land and water battalion immediately escort His Highness back, but continued to go south?" Although Liu Daxia is older, he is full of energy and has a loud voice, and this time it is higher than last time.
Zhu Houwei felt a little uncomfortable in his ears, but he still said calmly, "At that time, the situation was urgent, and the generals of the land and water battalion judged that Wang Quan might have to flee to Nanyang, and if he didn't chase him immediately, I am afraid it would be difficult to capture him above the vast sea." Moreover, at that time, there were few ships in the land and water battalions, only a few, and if the ships were to escort the king, I was afraid that they would engage the enemy and the outcome would be unpredictable. ”
On the sea, it is natural that the bigger the boat, the safer, so Liu Daxia, who was born in the military department, did not ask why he didn't use a small boat to pick him up.
Liu Daxia continued to ask, "Since this is the case, then why don't you send Your Highness back first, as for Haikou, there is no need to clear it this time, after all, His Highness also said just now, there are not many ships in the water and land camps, and the victory or defeat of the enemy is unpredictable, and His Highness's daughter's body, how can he do such a dangerous thing?" ”
Zhu Houwei turned his head to stare at Liu Daxia, and there was a little anger in his eyes, "Elder Liu Ge, have you ever seen what the Haikou did when he came ashore, do you know what kind of tragedy will happen to the people, and how the captured woman is alive?" Have we forgotten the tragedy in Shandong last year? In the past, there was no trace of the pirates, and after the invasion on the shore, they quickly left, and the officers and soldiers had no choice. At this time, it was the time for the Haikou to flee in embarrassment, if they were left alone, would they wait for them to recover and make a comeback? How many people will be separated from their wives and die tragically under the butcher's knife? The father loves the people like a son, and he can exchange me for tens of millions of people, can't he? As he spoke, he became more and more angry, and when he got to the back, he almost shouted out, and only Zhu Houwei's voice echoed in the huge palace.
Liu Daxia's face froze, knowing that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and he couldn't speak for a while. Another pavilion elder came out to interrupt, and this Zhu Houwei also knew that it was Li Mengyang and Li Gelao. Li Ge's face was calm, "According to the Di report, when His Royal Highness entered Quanzhou, the head of the thief was already captured, why didn't he return north immediately, why did he enter Quanzhou City again?" ”
Zhu Houwei immediately said, "Although the thief was captured at that time, many soldiers were too seriously injured, and the sea was not conducive to recuperating from the wind and waves, so I entered Quanzhou, placed the wounded, and then took them back to Tianjin after they recovered." As for the king, he is not accustomed to boats and ships, and he is tired of it, but he intends to rest for a day, and set out for the north tomorrow. ”
It seems reasonable, and Li Ge Lao can't do it. However, there are so many courtiers, and there are always people who think of what is wrong with it. At this time, Zhu Houzhao, who had been pretending to be a wooden man, said, "In Quanzhou that day, King Fu was assassinated, and only then was he recognized. Do you think this is a trivial matter? Or is it "
The words were not finished, but these people already understood what Zhu Houzhao meant, and they didn't ask about such a big thing, could it be that someone had colluded with the murderer and deliberately avoided the serious.
Everyone hurriedly said: "The assassination of King Fu must be strictly investigated, and the murderer must not be let go?" "Very much, very much."
Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao, and then said, "Where is the book of the criminal department?" "Wechen is here." "Investigate the case immediately." "Yes"
Immediately afterwards, Hongzhi glanced at He Ding, He Ding understood and shouted, "Retreat." Under the dragon chair, everyone knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”
Waiting for Hongzhi to turn out of the hall, Zhu Houzhao walked to the gate first, Zhu Houwei hurriedly followed, the two did not communicate, and walked silently. And the hall was lively again at this time.
Li Mengyang and a few people who had a good relationship with Liu Daxia walked up to Liu Daxia, who was a little stunned, and whispered with concern, "Shi Yong (Liu Daxia's character), Meng Lang, how can you say this?" They were also surprised and afraid that Liu Daxia was so open-minded to say that it was difficult for them to say things about their ancestors, and they didn't expect Liu Daxia to go out so open-mindedly and say disgraceful things about his ancestors to today's saints. At this time, Liu Daxia had already calmed down, and said freely, "The matter has come to this, why bother talking about it." Now that the old age has passed, what else can't be put down? “
Several people around listened to his words and just sighed. Before the rest of the ministers went out, they all came to Liu Daxia's side, either with true feelings or with false intentions, to express their respect for the only remaining "Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi", after all, people dare to speak out, dare to die, what is this, this is the style of the literati, Shilin Mei talked.
Liu Daxia nodded calmly in return, and then slowly walked out of the door, Li Mengyang and the others looked from behind him, Liu Daxia's spine was still straight, but he was really old.
Zhu Houwei's edict finally reached the rebuilt Fuwang Mansion three days later, and he was fined for two years. Zhu Houwei smiled slightly after getting the edict, and didn't pay much attention to it. Zhu Houwei does not rely on Yulu to live, and secondly, he does not rely on Huangzhuang, but makes a lot of money with the decoration team. Today's decoration team has more than 200 craftsmen and more than 1,000 workers, who can decorate ten households at the same time, and each family can earn at least 10,000 taels or more. As for thinking about it behind closed doors, it is even less of a matter, the World Chamber of Commerce and the Water and Land Camp basically don't need Zhu Houwei to worry about, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace for a while, and then you will definitely be able to visit your parents in the palace, and then this punishment will be over. Zhu Houwei can rest for two or three months, and by the way, let Huang Gonggong also recover from his injuries.
