Zhang Zuo trotted, put the tea and dried fruits on the table, and withdrew knowingly, leaving only the two sisters and brothers in this warm pavilion. Jiajing pointed to the tea in front of him, "Sister Huang taste, this is the West Lake Longjing sent by the eldest brother last time, in the past, the palace drank all the old tea that was more than three years old, and after he arrived in Jiangnan, he sent the newly picked tea this year." In the past, we were in Anlu, and we could drink newly picked cloud tea every year, but now that I am the son of heaven, if I want to drink some tea from my hometown, I can only drink the old things for more than three years, and if I want to drink new tea, I have to ask the imperial sister for it. ”

Zhu Xiuchang took a sip of tea soup and smiled slightly, "When Your Majesty was the prince, the domain was in Anlu, and the tea forest was our family's industry, no one dared to fool you." But now that you are the emperor, they are afraid that you will drink new tea and drink slippery mouth, and frequently urge them, which will kill them. So I had to fool around with old tea, lest you really drink the taste. In fact, not only tea, but also the diet, the real characteristics, you can't eat. The fish in the south of the tribute, when they arrive in the capital, they all stink, and when they become emperors, sometimes they are not as casual as the princes, there is no way, there is no way to lose or gain. ”

She asked Jiajing again, "You just came back from Ciqing Palace?" Did the Zhang family intercede for the Xie family? To tell the truth, some people from the Xie family also came to my house and left a very heavy gift, and also revealed that the Xie family was willing to hand over the marriage book. When they were asked to pay, they refused to pay, and now they want to pay, but it's a little late. ”

"I have no choice but to live with the second sister about this." Jiajing's back leaned back on the chair, and the whole person was very lazy, and only in front of his eldest sister could he be so relaxed. At this moment, he is no longer the emperor of the Ten Thousand Times, but just a young man who has just become a young man.

In the past, when Zhu Xiuchang was in charge of the family business, it was like a big umbrella on his head for this younger brother. Although the position has changed now, seeing his imperial sister, Jiajing's mood can finally relax, and some things that are hidden in his heart and are unwilling to say can finally be said with confidence.

His mind is gloomy, and since he ascended the throne, he has rarely had help. I hid a lot of words in my heart, and played a guessing game with my subordinates, just to see who was really on my side. However, these imperial tricks, power and calculations, in front of his sister, there is no need to use them.

"I can't trigger it these days, just to see how many people are speaking for the Xie family, and to see how much power they can mobilize. Now it seems that the Xie family has a lot of energy, and officials from Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and even Fujian have people who speak for the Xie family. or support the forbidden sea, and some think that the eldest brother is a good and risky person. Jokes, those real widows have been dedicated to the Beijing Division, how can they kill the good? The Xie family is dead this time! On the second sister's side, I told her a few times, but there was always a layer apart, and the royal sister wanted to say more good things for me, the second sister and the queen mother. ”

Zhu Xiuchang was also worried that Xiuyan would be sad, and her diligence in walking around these days was also to relieve her mood. According to her observation, it seems that Xiuyan has no resistance to the matter of guarding the widow, but is a little happy. She didn't understand the reason for this for a while, she only thought that the second sister was still young, and she didn't have much experience of being a widow or something like that, and she didn't realize how painful it was.

On the contrary, it was the Jiang family, who knew the pain caused by the word widowhood, but in order to take care of his son's overall situation, he could only let his daughter sacrifice. However, I have paid a lot more attention to Xiuyan than in the past, and there is obviously a lot of compensating emotions in it. She nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will persuade the second sister and the queen mother not to make them sad." Everyone was born in an imperial family and understands what it means to put the overall situation first. ”

"Sister Huang, I will be angry if you do this again, I am your younger brother, you are my sister, the distinction between monarchs and ministers is an outsider, not to you and me. Not only you, but also my eldest brother, who will always be my brother and brother-in-law. Like his self-defilement this time, I am not happy, I obviously regard me as an emperor, not a brother, and I have to scare him when he comes back. ”

"You should scare him, but don't be too scared, otherwise my sister will be distressed." She smiled, as if the eldest sister had discovered some little secrets of her younger brother, and looked at Jiajing, "The Fang beauty you have been very fond of recently, didn't he find it for you?" If he hadn't treated you as a brother, he wouldn't have done this, and if he said it, it would have a bad reputation. ”

Jiajing laughed, "The imperial sister really still feels sorry for her brother-in-law, he is a hidden horse, and I think it is more comfortable than a genuine horse." The beauties he chose are really good, I like them very much, not only Fang Meiren, but also a few others. When he returns to Beijing, I will be rewarded. But sister, you have to be careful, beware that he takes the opportunity to find a bunch of beauties for himself, the dynasty has always had bad rules for drifting, and it is inevitable that a few beauties will be lost. ”

The sister and brother laughed for a while, and then Zhu Xiuchang said: "In a court, there must be someone to make face, and someone to do the lining, long live to govern." In the current court, everyone wants to be a face, but no one wants to be a lining, they all want to help the world and save the people, but no one wants to be a black face. Chengzu is willing to be a lizi, which is rare, long live it is a pity. He is not degrading himself because he can't trust His Majesty, nor does he not treat His Majesty as a brother, but because he does his duty. If the person who is the lining, if he even has face, isn't that a mess of the rules? The new army is the new army of long live, and the southeast is the southeast of long live, and what he does is always to serve this point and ensure that the hearts of the people will always be grateful to the Son of Heaven. If he is like Yang Ting and those who make face, not only to make meritorious contributions, but also to establish morality, then he will compete with Long Live for the hearts of the people. This is also to set a rule for other ministers who will be in the future, telling them that if you want to be a person in the lining, don't think about saving face, even if he is like a brother and sister, let alone others? ”

Jiajing nodded, knowing that Zhu Xiuchang came over to say good things to Yang Chengzu. After all, although the trend of impeaching him this time began with the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, the reaction in Beijing was particularly strong. On the same day, the killing of Gao Quanzhong to patrol the city and the imperial history was almost a tie with the entire Jingshi Kedao system, and this time he seized the opportunity, and the other party would definitely retaliate.

Even if Yang Tinghe maintained this situation, he could not maintain it, including the fact that the new army accepted the command of Guo Xun, left their respective defense areas without authorization, injured the local officials, and looted the arsenal. On closer examination, Yang Chengzu is all backstage. At present, although there is a celebration storm in Beijing, there is also public opinion of liquidation, Zhu Xiuchang is afraid that the fake show will be done, so she specially came to extinguish the fire.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was no longer the weak boy who was supported by his sister in the past, and on the contrary, the imperial sister, who was extremely strong in his heart in the past, wanted to please him. He comforted Zhu Xiuchang

"Sister Huang, don't worry, I said at the beginning that my eldest brother is my crown. How can there be a reason for the Son of Heaven to fold his crown? Don't say that I know all these things he does, and even if I don't know, what can I do? There is a day for me, there is a day for him, even if he is really the second Jiang Bin, I still can't protect him? ”
