When Jian Huaizhen saw Zhu Qizhen say this, he raised his head and carefully looked at Zhu Qizhen's complexion, only to see that there was a rather worried look between his eyebrows, obviously encountering something that was suffocating and difficult to do.

Thinking about it like this, Jian Huaizhen's heart moved slightly, and he said to Zhu Qizhen: "Since the emperor is so warmly invited, so it is okay, the palace will obey the emperor's will and trespass today." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, his face was a little pleased, and he said to Jian Huaizhen: "This matter is definitely not an arrogance, the eldest princess can rest assured." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he said to Zhu Qizhen: "Since the emperor said so, then I will obey the emperor's will today." ”

Zhu Qizhen heard Jian Huaizhen's words, so he said to Jian Huaizhen: "Okay, so good." ”

After saying this, Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth to the eunuch who was serving and ordered: "Hurry up and inform the imperial dining room, I will invite the eldest princess to have a meal with me today, and let the imperial dining room cook a few good dishes." ”

The eunuch serving outside heard Zhu Qizhen's words, so he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the servants have handled this matter properly by themselves, and they will never disappoint the emperor." ”

Zhu Qizhen heard the eunuch's recital, and then opened his mouth and said: "Since this is the case, let's go quickly, I and the eldest princess can wait." ”

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's urgent order, the eunuch who served naturally understood the emperor's intentions, so he went to the imperial dining room to give an order.

After the eunuch left, Jian Huaizhen turned to Zhu Qizhen and asked, "Seeing that the emperor is uncertain today, I wonder if the emperor has any worries that are difficult to solve?" ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Zhu Qizhen nodded slightly at Jian Huaizhen and said, "The eldest princess is really discerning, and she can actually see from my face that I have something in mind. ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Zhu Qizhen's words, so he spoke to Zhu Qizhen: "If the emperor has something, why don't you come and listen to it." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Zhu Qizhen spoke: "I won't tell you, the matter in my heart is really an extremely difficult thing to understand, judging from the current situation, the situation in the court is chaotic, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can predict, and I am a little worried that I can't control the situation at the moment." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he opened his mouth to Zhu Qizhen and said, "Could it be that the emperor is so worried about Zhu Qizhen's fight with Shi Heng?" ”

Hearing that Jian Huaizhen said such a sentence, Zhu Qizhen's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen and said, "Could it be that the eldest princess also knows about this." ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Zhu Qizhen's words, so he nodded slightly at Zhu Qizhen and said: "Exactly, there are rumors in the market now, saying that the two dignitaries of the imperial court, Lord Xu Youzhen, have a bad relationship with Lord Shi Heng, and there will inevitably be some trouble in the imperial court." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Zhu Qizhen bowed his head and said: "Yes, although they are all rumors, it is not enough to be windless and not waves, if there is nothing at all, there will never be such a lot of rumors, it seems that Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng under my hands really want to tear their faces and fight." I am not worried, but I am worried that Shi Heng has military power, and Datong, which has heavy troops, is under the control of the Shi Heng family, if it cannot be suppressed, I am afraid that there will be a great disaster in the court. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he opened his mouth to the emperor Zhu Qizhen and said: "The emperor's worries are not bad at all, the soldiers of the world, the current Thai half of the control is in the hands of Shi Heng, if Shi Heng has any rash moves, the court will be turbulent, and the people will be in chaos, which is inevitable." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen with great approval and said: "No, this matter is also something that I have been worrying about for a long time, and now I want to move Shi Heng, but the time has not come." I'm also very nervous about this. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he said to Zhu Qizhen: "Since ancient times, the use of human authority has been in charge of the above, and this kind of matter is not something that the subordinates can discuss, so please ask the emperor to weigh it personally." ”

Zhu Qizhen heard Jian Huaizhen's words, and understood in his heart that Jian Huaizhen didn't want to say this matter too clearly.

As a result, there was a slight cold scene between the two.

Not enough, Zhu Qizhen quickly broke the calm, and then asked Jian Huaizhen about another matter.

"Don't mention Shi Heng at the moment, I don't understand whether Xu Youzhen is reliable or not." Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth to ask Jian Huaizhen again.

Jian Huaizhen heard Zhu Qizhen's question, so he said to Zhu Qizhen: "The emperor said this, the palace doesn't know anything about it, and I ask the emperor to make it clear." ”

Seeing Jian Huaizhen's words, Zhu Qizhen told Jian Huaizhen about today's events in a steady stream.

After hearing that Zhu Qizhen had finished talking about these things, Jian Huaizhen knew in his heart that this matter was very likely that Cao Jixiang wanted to use the emperor's hand to deal with Xu Youzhen, and he didn't say anything at the moment, but just said to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, since the current situation, this matter is also quite interesting. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Zhu Qizhen hurriedly opened his mouth and asked, "What's interesting about this matter?" ”

Jian Huaizhen heard that Zhu Qizhen had this question, so he opened his mouth to Zhu Qizhen and said: "Your Majesty, please think about it, if Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng openly quarrel in the court, I am afraid that it will be even more unfavorable to the national system." At present, Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng are fighting to win, nothing more than wanting to be powerful in the court, and at the moment there is no threat to the emperor's position, the emperor should be careful that if one of these two people is defeated, then the other person's power will become bigger, and at that time, it will form a situation where the tail will not fall, and at that time, it is the most difficult situation to deal with them. ”

Jian Huaizhen's words fell into Zhu Qizhen's ears, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Zhu Qizhen greatly admires Jian Huaizhen's foresight, Jian Huaizhen's words are not bad at all, judging from the current situation, if the matter really comes to such a point, the matter is really extremely difficult to conclude, one party is dominant, and the threat to Zhu Qizhen is even worse.

After understanding this truth in his heart, Zhu Qizhen said to Jian Huaizhen: "What the eldest princess said is not bad at all, from the current situation, this matter is exactly like this, whether it is Xu Youzhen or Shi Heng, as long as one of them is defeated and sits back and watches the power of the other person grow, the imperial court will naturally fall into an extremely dangerous situation." The eldest princess reminded me that I should prepare early and never let the situation collapse to such a situation. ”

Jian Huaizhen heard that the emperor had such words, and understood in his heart that Zhu Qizhen alone understood the meaning of his advice, so he opened his mouth to the emperor and said: "The emperor is sage!" ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he said to Jian Huaizhen: "Where can I be so powerful, judging from the current situation, I still need the eldest princess to remind me more, so as not to let the court fall into such a situation." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he naturally understood Zhu Qizhen's intentions, so he said to Zhu Qizhen: "What the emperor said is very true, and from the current situation, this is the case. ”

Zhu Qizhen hesitated slightly when he heard this, then opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen and asked, "Imperial Princess, in your opinion, can I still trust Xu Youzhen." ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Zhu Qizhen's words, and did not reply, just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing Jian Huaizhen's situation, Zhu Qizhen thought carefully about what Jian Huaizhen said, and if he realized something in his heart, he didn't want to ask further, but Xu Youzhen's matter was not trivial after all, Zhu Qizhen endured it for a while and still couldn't hold back, so he said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, I will ask you again, according to your opinion, can Xu Youzhen be trusted?" ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he knew in his heart that the emperor wanted to hear a statement from his mouth today.

Jian Huaizhen looked around, and saw that there were eunuchs serving at the entrance of the hall, and his heart moved, so he forced the idea in his heart back, and did not go out with Zhu Qizhen here.

"Your Majesty, the inner palace and royal relatives are not allowed to interfere in political affairs, this is the last instruction of the emperor, and the rules must not be broken." Jian Huaizhen said to Zhu Qizhen.

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Zhu Qizhen understood in his heart that Jian Huaizhen was unwilling to answer his question head-on.

"Well, if that's the case, I won't bother with it." After Zhu Qizhen understood Jian Huaizhen's intentions in his heart, he spoke to Jian Huaizhen.

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he smiled at Zhu Qizhen and said: "The emperor is a saint, and there are some things that can be decided. ”

Zhu Qizhen heard that Jian Huaizhen had this in his mouth, so he opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen and said: "Having said that, there are some things that still need more support from the eldest princess, and the current situation in the court is so chaotic, with the strength of my own person, I am afraid that it will not be enough to set things right, and I also need more support from the officials of the court and the central government, I don't know if the eldest princess has a suitable person in her heart who can help me." ”

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Jian Huaizhen thought for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, according to the rules of the imperial court, this palace is not allowed to interfere in this matter. Therefore, although the emperor has insights, Huaizhen can't make any suggestions! ”

Zhu Qizhen heard Jian Huaizhen's words, so he spoke to Jian Huaizhen and said, "Since this is the case, I don't want to force it. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he opened his mouth to Zhu Qizhen and said, "Thank you, Holy Lord." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen and said, "There is no need to be like this, I know in my heart that some things will inevitably need to be handled by me personally." ”

Hearing this, Jian Huaizhen nodded slightly and said, "What the emperor said is not bad at all, judging from the current situation, this matter is exactly like this." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen and said, "Since this is the case, I will take care of it myself." ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Zhu Qizhen's words, and nodded slightly at Zhu Qizhen and said: "What the emperor said is very true, and some things are still the emperor's own holy judgment. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's advice, Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen and said, "Forget it, I won't say these words, how about inviting the eldest princess to go to the banquet with me." ”

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Jian Huaizhen smiled and said: "Since the saint said this, this palace also understands this matter in his heart, but according to the emperor's orders. It is an honor for the palace to be so honored to go to the banquet. ”

Zhu Qizhen heard Jian Huaizhen's words, so he opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen and said, "Okay, please invite the eldest princess to go to the banquet with me." ”

After saying this, Zhu Qizhen instructed the eunuch who was serving outside: "How is the banquet for the eldest princess prepared?" ”

The eunuch outside hurriedly said to the emperor: "Holy Lord, the slave will go to the imperial dining room immediately to urge." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he opened his mouth and said, "Hurry up and urge me, don't let me and the eldest princess wait too long." ”

The eunuch who was guarding at the gate of the palace did not dare to slack off when he heard this, and went out immediately.

Not long after, the eunuch came back and said, "Your Majesty, the servants have gone to the imperial dining room to see it, and the people in the imperial dining room have all the things, do you want to ask the emperor to move over immediately?" ”

Hearing the eunuch's words, Zhu Qizhen spoke: "That's right, I will immediately take the eldest princess over." ”

When the eunuch heard this, he stood up and shouted outside, "The emperor has a sedan chair to eat." ”

Hearing the eunuch's command, someone soon carried the sedan chair to the door of the head hall.

The emperor glanced at the situation outside, then opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen and said, "Eldest princess, how about you please go to the banquet with me?" ”

Seeing this situation, Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth to Zhu Qizhen and said, "Well, since the emperor is so warmly invited, I will go with the emperor." ”

Zhu Qizhen heard Jian Huaizhen's words, so he opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen and said, "Okay, then please follow me over." ”

The two walked out of the palace together, and then took two sedan chairs one after the other, and then ordered to get up and go to the place where Zhu Qizhen had a meal.

After arriving at the dining place, Jian Huaizhen found that the conditions in the palace were already ready.

After Zhu Qizhen got off the sedan chair, he and Jian Huaizhen sat down as guests.

After taking his seat, Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen and said, "Princess, judging from the current situation, the minions in my imperial dining room are quite dedicated. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he hurriedly opened his mouth to Zhu Qizhen and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial kitchen of the Heavenly Family is naturally not comparable to ordinary Baixin families, which shows that the people in the imperial dining room are very hardworking, and they are even more dedicated to the emperor. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen and said, "What the eldest princess said is not bad at all, and I also have the same thoughts in my heart. ”

After hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Jian Huaizhen smiled and said: "The emperor all have such thoughts, and the people who want to come to these imperial dining rooms must feel that the emperor is also extremely concerned about them. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen and said, "Yes, yes, the people of the Son of Heaven are all my people, how can I not care about them." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he hurriedly stood up and opened his mouth to Zhu Qizhen and said: "The emperor is so benevolent and sage, this palace first thanks the emperor for his generosity and benevolence on behalf of the subjects and people of the world." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth and said, "Judging from the current situation, this is the case. I am very happy today, so I will reward these meritorious people in the imperial dining room. ”

After Jian Huaizhen heard this, he also stood up and spoke to the eunuch in the imperial dining room and said: "The emperor said that the servants of the imperial dining room are meritorious, and they should reward them well today." ”

The head eunuch of the imperial dining room heard Jian Huaizhen's words, and understood in his heart that these were the holy intentions of the saint, so he hurriedly led a group of eunuchs to kneel, kowtowed to Zhu Qizhen and said: "Your Majesty, what the servants do is their duty, and the emperor doesn't have to give a reward." ”

Seeing the eunuchs in the imperial dining room say this, Zhu Qizhen was naturally extremely happy in his heart, and opened his mouth to these kneeling eunuchs and said: "You are flat, I see you today so peaceful, conscientious, and extremely gratified in my heart, I am determined to reward you well, no matter how big or small the ministry is, no one is missed, everyone has a share." ”

The eunuchs in the imperial dining room heard that Zhu Qizhen opened the golden mouth to reward them, so they knelt down and praised Zhu Qizhen.

When Zhu Qizhen saw such a situation, he was naturally extremely happy in his heart, so he bowed his head to the eunuchs again and again.

The monarch and the minister are happy, but they are also happy.

Jian Huaizhen saw such a situation from the side, and felt in his heart that no matter what the situation was, this was the case. No matter how strong the person in the upper position is, there must always be the help of the lower person, if there is no great help from the person in the lower position, I am afraid that the person in the upper position will not benefit.

Such a thought suddenly appeared in his heart, Jian Huaizhen felt a little strange in his heart, and he didn't know why he had such thoughts for no reason.

But if you think about it carefully, it is obviously related to what has happened in the imperial court these days.

Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng in the court fought each other, although they were both Zhu Qizhen's favorite ministers, but Jian Huaizhen knew in his heart that in Zhu Qizhen's heart, the most intolerable thing for him was not the fight between the important ministers in the court, but he must not sit idly by and tolerate any minister in the court who would threaten the emperor's position.

Over the years, a lot of things have happened, and it can be known from a certain situation that the emperor is still quite taboo in his heart, and the ministers under his command threaten his position.

From Jian Huaizhen's eyes, Zhu Qizhen has done a lot of things for one thing, that is, to firmly hold the power of the emperor, this kind of power, Zhu Qizhen is not willing to let others share it, even if that person is his most trusted minister, it is absolutely impossible.

Jian Huaizhen knew in his heart that Zhu Qizhen was worried about the fight between Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng, but he was worried that if the delicate balance of power between the two of them in the imperial court was broken, he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with this kind of thing in the future.

After understanding Zhu Qizhen's weakness in his heart, Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth to Zhu Qizhen and said: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, if the important ministers in the court can do their best with the eunuchs in the imperial dining room, and keep to themselves, the emperor will not have to worry about so many things." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said: "What the eldest princess said is not bad at all, if the palace and the palace are one, and the ministers in the court can do this, I will feel a lot more at ease." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he opened his mouth to Zhu Qizhen and said: "What the emperor said is not bad at all, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid that there will be a bloody storm outside the palace, but the emperor does not need to worry too much, after all, the battle between these ministers outside the palace has no effect on the emperor." ”

Zhu Qizhen heard Jian Huaizhen's words, so he opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen and said: "What the eldest princess said is very true, and I also have this idea in my heart. No matter how important officials in the court fight, they have to be respectful to me, the emperor, and if they dare to snub me, I will not allow them. ”
