Ying Tianfu.

In the Forbidden City, in the main hall of the Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Biao listened to political affairs for a day during the day, and returned to the East Palace at night to try to deal with some simple government affairs.

Since the meeting of the Celestial Empire before yesterday, the emperor has tried his best to disagree with the public and ordered the ministers to punish the crown prince in all future political affairs.

This resolution immediately caused a shock in the court, some ministers gladly accepted it, some ministers thought it was too hasty, and some young ministers resolutely opposed it.

Most of its Chinese ministers agreed, and only a few were noncommittal.

The most vocal are still the military ministers, among whom there is no shortage of Huaixi Xungui group.

Although the emperor was in strong control of the situation, he still thought of a compromise as a compromise.

That is, the prince only reads the big things and finally plays them in front of the emperor, and the small things are handled by the prince at his discretion.

"Your Highness, it's late at night! Take care of yourself! ”

At this time, the eunuch Wang Dekai bowed down and called softly.

Zhu Biao looked up at the eunuch, put down the music in his hand, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Wang Dekai got up, walked to Zhu Biao's side, and stretched out his hand to gently soften his shoulder.

"It's midnight!"

"Ho! Before I knew it, it was so late. ”

Wang Dekai said distressedly: "Your Highness, rest!" It's not too late to see these tomorrow! ”

Zhu Biao pressed his temples, shook his head and said: "Some of the twists and turns will go to the court meeting tomorrow, if you don't finish reading them, won't you be blind tomorrow?" ”

Seeing him say this, Wang Dekai, as an internal servant, didn't want to talk more.

After all, there are too many people who have made mistakes in staring at the prince in the past two days, and if they are asked tomorrow in the early court, and the prince is not prepared, it will be grabbed by someone with a heart.

Zhu Biao soothed his body, picked up a military report and read it.

After a moment, he furrowed his brows, patted the desk, and shouted angrily: "Why is the report only delivered now?" ”

Wang Dekai, who was behind him, frowned and did not answer his question.

Not long ago, the emperor severely punished the eunuchs who discussed the government, and he did not dare to make suggestions lightly at this time.

But after seeing Zhu Biao's unhappy expression, he thought about it again and again, and still said: "Your Highness, this matter should be consulted with the political envoy." ”

Thinking that there was a problem, Zhu Biao would consult Song Lian, but after Song Lian Zhishi at the beginning of the year, he didn't even have an idea around him.

Although there are many vassals in the East Palace, there is no one who can really take charge of himself.

Hearing Wang Dekai's words at this time, he suddenly woke up and hurriedly called an attendant.

"Please invite Zeng Bingzheng, the envoy of the general government, and Liu Ren, the left general government, to come to the Wenhua Palace."

"Huh!"

The chamberlain replied with a respectful voice, and then bowed down and quickly exited the hall.

More than half an hour later, the chamberlain led the two ministers, Zeng and Liu, who were sweating profusely, into the palace.

"Minister, Zeng Bingzheng!"

"Liu Ren!"

"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing this, Zhu Biao hurriedly got up, raised his hands and said softly: "No courtesy!" Throne! ”

After the two of them sat down, Zhu Biao picked up the military report and asked indifferently: "Two adults, why did the Western Expeditionary Army the day before yesterday only arrive at the lonely desk today?" ”

Hearing this, Zeng Bingzheng, as the chief official, hurriedly got up and bowed back. "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, so the chapter and documents were handed over to the Wenhua Hall on the same day......"

Zhu Biao lowered his face and waved his hand to interrupt: "Your Majesty only reinstated the General Political Envoy Department this year, so you will be derelict in your duties?" ”

Zeng Bingzheng's face remained unchanged, and he said sincerely: "Your Highness, the military performance of the Western Expedition you mentioned was also received by the General Political Envoy in the afternoon, and it is really not an oversight on the part of the ministers. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Biao frowned, and said suspiciously: "The date of signing is the day before yesterday, but you said that you only received it today, so where are the military performances lying in the past two days?" ”

Liu Ren on the side couldn't hold his breath, got up and replied: "Your Highness, this military performance was transferred from Zhongshu Province, it may be Hu ......."

Hearing this, Zeng Bingzheng's face changed, and he hurriedly interrupted: "Wang Youxiang, who sent the military performance, said that it was his subordinates who lost the military music by negligence. The subordinate was afraid of being guilty and hid the matter, and today the miscellaneous servants found this performance while cleaning the public house, and handed it over to the minister. ”

Zhu Biao's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and his eyes glanced sharply at Zeng Bingzheng.

He slapped the military performance heavily on the table and asked sharply: "Your Majesty has already made it clear that the Quartet of the World will belong to the Erbu, why is the military music still handed over to the Zhongshu Province?" ”

Seeing Zhu Biao's anger, Zeng Bingzheng's heart suddenly burst, and he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "It's the minister's negligence, the minister is guilty, please punish His Highness!" ”

"Hehe, is that your problem?" Zhu Biao smiled angrily, and said coldly: "Don't talk about anything else, let's talk about this military performance!" The battle ahead is changing rapidly, and this performance has been delayed for two days, do you know how many soldiers should have died in these two days? ”

Zeng Bingzheng was already oozing fine sweat on his forehead at this time, and he trembled on the ground.

Liu Renmang, who was on the side, paused and arched his hand: "Your Highness, this matter is not to blame for the political envoy, it is that Hu Xiang is unwilling to hand over the right to receive the military report to us, saying that the military performance is too sensitive, and it must be handled by the Zhongshu Province!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "He doesn't even care about His Majesty's will?" ”

Only then did he realize that there was too much to do in this matter, not just a matter of negligence in the military performance.

This is the power of the prime minister hurting the imperial power, and even the emperor's holy decree is against the yin and yang, so other things are not ......

Zhu Biao didn't dare to think about it anymore, he had to communicate with his father about this matter.

Thinking of this, he stepped down from the desk and instructed Wang Dekai: "You lead the two adults to the Wenlou, don't leave the palace tonight." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the response of the two, he quickly stepped out of the main hall and rushed directly to the harem.

——————

Yanwang Mansion.

In the corner of the middle courtyard, in a room converted into a meditation room, Yao Guangxiao was doing evening classes.

On the side, Zhu Di was waiting for him to finish his schoolwork, and his face was uncontrollably anxious.

After a while, Yao Guangxiao opened his eyes and asked Zhu Di with a smile. "Your Highness, what are you doing here?"

Zhu Di saw him wake up and hurriedly asked, "How is the investigation?" She's ......"

Yao Guangxiao looked at him and said with a smile: "Not bad! She is the eldest daughter of Wei Guogong who disappeared many years ago! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di was overjoyed, exhaled, and laughed: "Haha, great!" In this case, the identity is enough! ”

Knowing his plan, Yao Guangxiao asked puzzledly: "You really decided to accept her as a concubine?" ”

Zhu Di nodded, and said with a straight face: "Yes, she won't marry!" ”

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and poured cold water. "But she seems to have a sweetheart, and it is said that she has reached the point of talking about marriage."

Zhu Di said indifferently: "It's not that there is no marriage contract yet!" Besides, it's just a spiritual guard, and it's not impossible to die in battle on the way to the west! ”

"Shhh

Yao Guangxiao turned the beads in his hand, and a chill rose in his heart, he didn't tell Zhu Di about Ye Yu and Xu Xiaoya.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di knew it clearly, it seems that Zhu Di still has an intelligence line in his hand that he doesn't even know.
