Chapter 65: The Broken Way of Wealth

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time to get up!"

Zhu Qizhen opened his sleepy eyes and asked, "What time is it...... Oh no, what time is it? ”

Empress Qian lay on the pillow and said softly: "At three o'clock, the emperor should prepare for the early court." ”

"No, no, no!"

Zhu Qizhen rolled over, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Queen Qian had no choice but to continue to persuade: "If the emperor does not go to court for no reason, I am afraid that those Qingliu will be impeached again." ”

Zhu Qizhen muttered: "With the king here, just leave those troubles to him, I still have something to do." ”

Queen Qian looked strange, and said in her heart that you are all back, why do you still let King Yu take care of things?

This...... It's not in order!

When the day was approaching, the lights were bright outside the noon gate, and the ministers had already arrived.

Everyone came very early today, after all, it is the first time that the emperor has returned to Beijing, so he must seize the opportunity to perform well, so that he can seem to have worked hard during this time.

Just when everyone was greeting each other, I only heard someone say: "Isn't that the palanquin of His Royal Highness King Yu?" ”

Everyone looked sideways, and it was indeed the sedan chair of the king of Yu.

At this moment, everyone is confused, what is the situation?

Zhu Qiyu slowly got off the sedan chair, and everyone immediately reacted and stepped forward to salute.

"Don't be so polite, don't be polite!"

The noon door in front was wide open, and Zhu Qiyu hugged his fists to everyone, and then took the lead in walking forward.

Everyone looked at each other, followed by Fengtian Palace, but found a problem, what about the emperor?

In full view of everyone, the eunuch Jin Ying stepped forward, cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice: "Holy parable! ”

The ministers knelt down and shouted, long live.

"I have returned from Mobei, and my body occasionally feels unwell, from today onwards, I will be supervised by the king of Yu, and I will admire this!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar.

What's going on? Why do you feel unwell occasionally?

I was very energetic when I cut people and raided my house yesterday!

"Ahem, ahem!"

Jin Ying coughed twice and motioned for everyone to be silent.

"Your Royal Highness, your lords, have you heard clearly?"

Cao Nai, the first assistant of the cabinet, took the lead and asked tentatively: "Gonggong Jin, how is the emperor unwell?" Is it a cold, or is it something else? Has there been any notification to the hospital too? ”

Jin Ying had a professional smile on her face, and said in a slow voice: "Lord Cao, please rest assured, the emperor is not sick, but he is tired, don't talk about it anymore, let our family say, the emperor has been fighting abroad for many days, and it is time to take a good rest when he returns to the capital, His Royal Highness King Yu, do you say?" ”

Zhu Qiyu was the only one who knew about this decision in advance, and said immediately: "What Gonggong Jin said is extremely true, and the ministers must obey the emperor's will!" ”

Cao Nai couldn't say anything, so he had to take out the prepared recital.

"According to the note received by the Cabinet, there are three main things to be discussed today: first, how to draw up the rewards for the soldiers; Second, regarding the construction of the Martyrs' Shrine, the Ministry of Industry should come up with a sketch as soon as possible; Third, in recent times, a large number of positions have been vacated, and it is necessary to find suitable people to fill the ...... as soon as possible."

Zhu Qizhen slept until dawn and stretched comfortably, but found that the pillow was empty.

Maybe he had just woken up, and his mind was a little cloudy, still remembering what happened last night.

It seems to have ordered an Imperial Supreme package......

No, I'm the emperor!

Zhu Qizhen got up and saw Queen Qian standing by the bed looking at him.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

Queen Qian beckoned, and two palace maids walked behind her, carrying a basin of water and a towel to dry the toiletries.

Zhu Qizhen asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's already past the hour, and the early dynasty is over."

Zhu Qizhen pouted secretly in his heart, got up at three o'clock in the morning, and went to court on time at five o'clock, whoever likes to go to this kind of thing, I won't go anyway!

After washing, Queen Qian waited for Zhu Qizhen to have breakfast.

The emperor's imperial meal is also relatively simple, a bowl of white porridge, two dough cakes, and a few side dishes.

While eating, a little eunuch came forward to report, and Zhou Guifei asked to see him.

This Zhou Guifei is the biological mother of the crown prince Zhu Jianshen, and her status in the harem is second only to Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Qian.

"The concubine has seen the emperor and the queen!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Have you eaten it, sit down and eat some together." ”

"The concubine thanked the emperor!"

Zhou Guifei sat on Zhu Qizhen's right hand, but her head was lowered and there was no movement.

Zhu Qizhen didn't pay attention to it, took a sip of porridge, and chirped his lips, but heard a sobbing sound in his ears.

When I turned my head, it turned out that Zhou was crying softly.

"Aifei, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Guifei touched her tears with the placket of her clothes, and hurriedly said: "The concubine is fine, but I haven't seen the emperor for many days, and I am very happy in my heart." ”

Zhu Qizhen was secretly funny in his heart, and he cried with joy?

This woman is still playing tricks with me to get away with it, heh, the scheming is too heavy.

"It's worrying the concubine!" Zhu Qizhen finished drinking the porridge, smiled and said, "Since there is nothing to do, I still have to go to the imperial study, Concubine Ai, please take care of yourself!" ”

Zhou Guifei was anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Concubine...... Please call the shots! ”

Zhu Qizhen put away the smile on his face and asked, "What happened?" ”

Zhou Guifei hesitated for a moment and said, "The concubine's father ran a cloth village in the capital, but it was stolen last night......

Zhu Qizhen was stunned, the store was stolen, what is this?

"The store was stolen, go to Shuntianfu to report the crime!"

Zhou Guifei said softly: "The thieves not only stole the property, but also killed the shopkeeper and a few guys, the concubine thought privately, can you let Jinyiwei help check it......"

Zhu Qizhen was a little inexplicable, and pretended to act for a long time, it turned out that he just wanted to recover the lost money as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, how can I say that it is also my father-in-law, and it is involved in a murder case, forget it, let Jinyiwei help check it!

"Wynne!"

Zhuan En hurriedly stepped forward: "The slave is here!" ”

"Xuan Yuanbin to the imperial study!"

"Slave obeys!"

Seeing this, Concubine Zhou hurriedly bowed down and thanked her.

Queen Qian on the side frowned slightly, shook her head secretly, but didn't say anything.

After Zhu Qizhen finished eating, he came to the imperial study and continued to ponder how to carry out reforms.

"Xuan!"

"Weichen Yuan Bin, knock on the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen raised his head and said, "Last night, a cloth village in Qingyunbo was stolen, you send a few people over to take a look." ”

Qingyun Bo is Zhou Guifei's father Zhou Neng, whose father is noble and whose daughter is noble, and he was named an earl in the eleventh year of orthodoxy.

After hearing this, Yuan Bin looked suspicious and did not move.

Zhu Qizhen sensed that something was wrong, so he asked, "What's the problem?" ”

"The Emperor's ......"

Yuan Bin thought for a while and said, "Yesterday in Dingxiang Building, the minister followed those two profiteers......

"What did you find?"

"One of them is named Wang Xu, a Jin merchant who runs a warehouse called Fan Ji in Beijing, which specializes in receiving and delivering goods. The other is called Fang Jidong, who is the shopkeeper of Yunlai Cloth Village, and the owner behind this Yunlai Cloth Village is Qingyunbo! ”

Zhu Qizhen seemed to realize something, and asked, "What was stolen last night was Yunlai Buzhuang?" ”

"Back to the emperor, not only Yunlai Buzhuang, but also Fan Ji Cargo Station has an accident!"

"Oh?" Zhu Qizhen suddenly felt that something was not ordinary, and asked, "What is the situation at the scene, have you been there?" ”

"The minister has already gone to inspect it in person, and the shopkeeper Fang Jidong and the two guys were torn necks, and the technique was clean and neat, and it seemed that it was done by a master. The same is true of Fan Kee Cargo Station, the method is exactly the same! ”

"Killing people and overselling goods, or a master......" Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then asked, "What do you say about Shuntianfu?" ”

"Shuntianfu has taken over the case, however, Qing Yunbo seems to be in a hurry, and sent someone to Beizhen Fusi early in the morning to ask for help, Weichen felt that this matter was a little strange, so he went to the scene in person."

"Anything else you found?"

"Not yet!"

Zhu Qizhen secretly wondered in his heart, he had just stared at two big fish, and he was intercepted by someone, who was so bold that he dared to kill people in the capital?

Besides, you have robbed all your belongings, how can I still raid my house?

The more I think about it, the more wrong it is, no, this is clearly cutting off my financial route!

"Fan Zhong!"

When Fan Zhong heard the summons, he hurriedly entered and saluted: "Your Majesty, what are the arrangements for today?" ”

"Go find two brocade guards' official uniforms!"

Fan Zhong was a little puzzled and asked, "What does the emperor want Jinyiwei's official uniform for?" ”

"Get out of the palace and investigate the case!"
