Chapter 46: The Unexpected

At the moment when Zhu Heyu got up, Zhu Yun said again: "Is the concubine of King Ruixin coming?" ”

Zhu Ran thought to herself, it was finally time for her to appear. Nervousness is inevitable, but Zhu Ran doesn't want to hide this tension, as the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, Zhu Yun wants to like the awe and even fear of others for him. Zhu Ran walked steadily to the red carpet in the middle and knelt down, "The concubine sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

Zhu Yun's eyes were sharp and looked at Zhu Ran, who was behaving in a dignified and decent manner, but his tone was calm: "Flat." ”

"Your Majesty." Zhu Ran got up, and then did as Zhu Heyu handed him what he said, his head was slightly lowered, his eyes were level, and his eyes couldn't fall on Zhu Yun's face.

"The people of Gunzhou County jointly wrote a merit book, saying that Princess Ruixin has a longitude and latitude in her heart, and she is knowledgeable, and today I also want to see what kind of erudite and talented her daughter-in-law is?"

Zhu Ran was worried in his heart, Zhu Yun's unangry words were hidden turbulent, first, he said that the people's merits were written in the princess instead of the side princess, the difference of one word, but the difference of thousands of miles, was Zhu Yun's mistake, or did he mean to say so? If you want to see her talent, talented people abound in this court, what kind of talent does Zhu Yun want to see? If her talent does not match Zhu Yun's wishes, then the merit book jointly signed by the people of Gunzhou County said that the concubine Ruixin is erudite and talented, is it true or false? If someone secretly instigated it, Wu Yimin, the county guard of Gunzhou, bore the brunt, and then Zhu Heyu.

I saw that my father-in-law next to me brought pen and paper. Zhu Ran thought that Zhu Yun was going to pick up a pen to write, but he didn't want Zhu Yun to say: "Du Youcheng, you come to write the question for me." ”

Du Yanzhuo walked to the side of Zhuran to receive the order, and the two eunuchs brought a long strip of red sandalwood, Du Yanzhuo thought for a while, and then wrote with a pen: "One seed into the soil, ten thousand grains back to the warehouse." Then he bowed to Zhu Ran thoughtfully, looked at Zhu Ran slightly, and wrote down the couplet with Zhu Ran, but it was difficult to hide the complicated emotions in his eyes.

The eunuch moved the big case to Zhu Ran, and Zhu Ran looked at the content of Du Yanzhuo's book, first, to thank him for not deliberately embarrassing himself, second, to admire his mellow penmanship, and third, to sigh that he would guess the sacred heart and guard against people's leisurely mouth. If the content of the couplet he produced is not sticky to farming, and then it happens that she is an incompetent person who can't match the couplet he wrote, if Zhu Heyu's henchmen defend her and say that she has unique achievements in farming, followed by the couplet, Du Yanzhuo will also have some excuses. Such a thoughtful person, the official to the right, should really be.

picked up the brush on the desk and wrote calmly: "Good policies return to the heart, the country and the people are safe." ”

After writing, one of the eunuchs handed over the rice paper to Zhu Yun, and one of the eunuchs took down the big case. Zhu Yun took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, laughed, and said, "Sure enough, it is worthy of its reputation!" Then he instructed Father-in-law Jiang to circulate it to everyone. The emperor was full of praise, and the courtiers were also praised for their self-heating. Zhu Ran stood in place, silent, but he understood in his heart that the reason why Zhu Yun praised Zhu Ran was not because of her literary talent, but because this couplet secretly praised Zhu Yun's political achievements, good policies, and policies to reduce taxes won the hearts of the people, resulting in the peace of the country and the people.

When the rice paper returned to Zhu Yun's hands, Zhu Yun's eyes darkened, but he said with a smile on his face: "The merits of the people of Gunzhou County are the concubines of Prince Ruixin, who care about the people, know the people's weal and woe, and have a gentle temperament, so she can be the concubine of Prince Ruixin." What do you think? ”

After hearing this, the crowd was silent at first, and after a while there was an uproar. Under the door of Zhang, Li Liangshang took the lead in agreeing that Zhu Yunjin would make Zhuran the princess. However, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Three Ministers and some ministers did not agree with this. The reasons for opposing are different, but what makes Zhu Ran feel funny is that Chen Han, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, actually objected to it on the grounds that Zhu Ran had been in the government for two years and had no children.

Zhu Ran wanted to know what Zhu Heyu meant, and remembered what he asked himself when he was in the carriage, and his heart was very confused. The joint letter of the people must be related to Zhu Heyu, why he wants to make himself his concubine, I can't figure it out. can change the angle, don't think about it from the perspective of pros and cons, there is only one idea circling in Zhu Ran's mind, he has her in his heart and wants her to be his wife?! Following this thought, I recall that when he was in Gunzhou, he asked himself to announce the policy of reducing taxes and halving the price of improved seeds, which was not a way to take advantage of her, but to make her win the hearts of the people. Let the two scholars talk about farming knowledge in front of her, and arrange for her to teach the people in order to improve her image in the hearts of the people!

In an instant, his mind came to his senses, and such a whimsical and self-inflicted idea made Zhu Ran sarcastic about himself in his heart.

When the two sides were arguing, Zuo Prime Minister Cao Zhen walked to the middle and said slowly: "The minister thinks it is inappropriate, this matter is very important, and it should be considered in the long run, not hastily decided." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent. What everyone didn't expect was that Cao Zhen, who never spoke much, would speak out against it. Zhu Heyu's face was as usual, but he glanced at Du Yanzhuo, his eyes were like torches, and then he remained silent.

Zhu Yun coughed lightly, and when everyone held their breath to listen to his decision, he seemed to have forgotten the topic just now, and asked Zhu Ran: "What is your name?" ”

Zhu Ran's heart was already indifferent, and he learned that he was fortunate and lost his life. On the other hand, it's a blessing to get it! replied calmly: "Back to the emperor, concubine Zhu's Zhuran." ”

"Take?" Zhu Yun looked at Gonggong Jiang.

Father-in-law Jiang has been with Zhu Yun for many years, and since he knows Zhu Yun, he bowed down and replied with a smile: "The side princess is the second daughter of Zhushangshu. ”

"Oh..."Zhu Yun seemed to suddenly realize, and then went to search for Zhu Changjun's figure, "Where is Zhu Aiqing?" ”

Zhuchangjun had been silently observing the situation without saying a word, and at this time, when he heard Zhu Yun calling him, he hurriedly walked out of the ranks, knelt down and said, "The minister is here." ”

"Hurry up, Aiqing has cultivated such a daughter, and I want to reward her. Speaking of the decree, the decree of the Emperor: Grant the concubine of King Ruixin to enter and leave the palace freely......" thought for a while and said: "The female mother is virtuous, and the lady of Zhuchangjun is the lady of the third grade, and she will immediately enter the palace for the canonization ceremony." ”

Father Zhuchang County is the secretary of the military department, Zhu Yun has always been afraid of military power, and he will not give Zhuchang County a substantial reward, which is inevitable, but now such a reward is still unexpected. Zhu Yun said that Mrs. Zhuchangjun is Zhao Yihong, and her mother is Dong Yuqing, why did such pies fall on Zhao Yihong, put everything aside, and said to Zhu Yun in a reckless voice: "Your Majesty the Emperor, ......" Zhu Heyu suddenly reacted to what Zhu Ran was going to say, and under the cover of the wide cuffs, he shook Zhu Ran with the force. Zhu Ran inhaled in pain, and at this moment, Zhu Changjun had already knelt on the ground and saluted, Zhu Yun waved his hand, and Gonggong Jiang beside him shouted: "Retreat from the dynasty-".

Baiguan knelt on the ground and kowtowed, Zhu Heyu forcibly dragged Zhu Ran to kneel, Zhu Ran had tears in his eyes, slid to his face, and looked at Zhu Heyu, his eyes were full of unwillingness and anger.

Zhu Heyu had never seen Zhu Ran cry in front of him, his heart was in turmoil, and in the sound of everyone kneeling, he said to Zhu Ran in a very small voice: "If Ran Ran wants it, this king will give it to you in the future, not for a moment." ”
