Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di looked helpless.

"Alas!"

"I originally intended to let King Yi marry Muge as soon as possible, which was a good intention of adult beauty, but I didn't expect it to be in this situation."

Hu Hui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, died at Chengtianmen, but now he was the first to jump out and said with relief: "This is not Your Majesty's fault, the ministers all know that Your Majesty is kind." ”

"It's just that when King Yi was the Son of Heaven in the past, there were too many wrong things, the people didn't know the court etiquette, there were many white things in the family, and it was understandable that he behaved excessively."

Zhu Di nodded, turned his head to the side, and asked with a sincere expression: "Ningyang Hou, King Yi and Princess Zhun Yi, have they all settled down?" ”

Chen Mao immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister led the forbidden army to take King Yi and Princess Zhun Yi to the Ten Princes' Mansion yesterday for a temporary stay, and there will be no danger." ”

"That's fine." Zhu Di was obviously relieved and instructed:

"Remember, King Yi has been hunting in the north for half a year, and now that he has returned to Beijing, he must send more people to strictly protect him, and he can't be allowed to suffer anymore."

Chen Mao naturally knew in his heart that the emperor meant to let him spy on him, but he didn't say anything, and acted with Zhu Di in front of everyone.

"Obey."

Zhu Di's thoughts, everyone knows it, which one does not have two brushes in the court.

But they still have to look at Zhu Di and play the brother and brother Gong set, because now that they are jumping out, there is nothing to say.

Since taking the initiative to welcome his brother back to Beijing, Zhu Di has done everything without leakage and can't find any fault.

The marriage canonization ceremony, this matter was originally proposed by Zhu Di, but he did not show up once in the whole process, so that all the people and scholars were the objects of verbal criticism and writing, Zhu Di and his Muge.

I thought that this discussion was going to end like this, but a person suddenly stood up.

Zhu Di took a closer look and found that it was Zhong Tong, the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This person is listed in "The Biography of the Orthodox Traitorous Minister", and he is a well-known former minister of the Sun family, but he has not been caught by Zhu Di for a long time, so he has stayed until now.

He jumped out, which was exactly what Zhu Di meant.

Zhong Tong's words were also very normal, he said: "Your Majesty previously promised His Royal Highness King Yi that they would let their mother and son meet after the marriage canonization ceremony. ”

"Has Your Majesty forgotten?"

Zhu Di glanced at him and said, "This, I naturally haven't forgotten, but now that the Chengtianmen Rebellion has just been settled, I need to appease people's hearts." ”

"Wouldn't it be too hasty to let them meet now?"

Zhong Tong said: "The minister thought that it would not, the queen mother and the king of Yi, the mother and son failed to see each other for a lifetime, and now the king of Yi has returned to Beijing, if they don't see each other again, there will be rumors." ”

"What is the current mental condition of the Queen Mother, the ministers are also very concerned, if you take advantage of this matter to lead their mother and son to meet, the ministers can also meet the Queen Mother."

"The Queen Mother is Your Majesty's mother-in-law, doesn't Your Majesty care?"

Good guy, a mouth is a classic etiquette and morality!

Zhu Di didn't continue to refute this time, and said directly: "In this case, I can't get rid of Aiqing's intentions, and which other Qing family wants to visit the Queen Mother together?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people below suddenly murmured.

Can the emperor have such good intentions?

Eighty percent is fraud!

But the problem is that they haven't seen the Queen Mother for a long time, and now that the former emperor has returned to Beijing to meet his biological mother, this is probably the only chance.

Whether the Jedi can turn the tables or not is here.

Zhu Di looked at their uncertain expressions, guessed their thoughts, and asked again: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to accompany King Yi to visit the Queen Mother again?" ”

After asking this question, the other two stood up.

"The ministers are willing to go with His Royal Highness King Yi."

They are Liao Tong, the left Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Lin Cong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, one is four products, and one is three products, all of whom are members of the imperial court.

Zhu Di seemed to have backed down, but he was actually very happy.

For a long time, I have been fishing for big fish with a long line, and this time I finally fished out three old ministers of the Sun family who were hidden in the crowd.

"Okay, you guys pack up and go to Qingning Palace in the afternoon."

"Chen Mao!"

Chen Mao then came out of the queue and shouted: "The minister is here!" ”

Zhu Di said quietly: "You go to the Ten Princes' Mansion, escort King Yi out of Beijing, bring his Muge out, and let them visit the Queen Mother together." ”

"I've been feeling dizzy lately, so I'm not going to visit for five days."

Chen Mao's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "The minister's order." ”

......

Zhu Qizhen's return to Beijing began with a grand welcome, and culminated in the marriage canonization ceremony of "a lover will eventually become a family", but it came to an abrupt end in the uniform opposition of the people.

As soon as he left Chengtianmen Square, Ningyang Hou Chen Mao took him to the Ten Princes' Mansion built by Zhu Di to live in the king of Beijing.

The Ten Princes' Mansion was originally built by Zhu Di to temporarily place those vassal kings under house arrest who did not obey his discipline, and now it is used to house arrest the great-grandson who is not angry, which is very suitable.

Looking at the surrounding environment and the servants of the palace who no one knew, Zhu Qizhen was a little dazed.

I don't know how long it took for him to gradually ease his mind, and the first thing he said was to ask, "Where is Qi Muge, is she here?" ”

The housekeeper of the palace was a middle-aged servant who seemed to be very loyal, and he stepped forward and said, "If you go back to Your Highness, the princess-to-be has already been escorted back to the palace by Ning Yanghou, but..."

"Just what?" Hearing the end, Zhu Qizhen asked eagerly.

The housekeeper had no choice but to continue: "It's just that Your Majesty has an order, and there is a difference between men and women, not to mention that there are many opposing voices in the capital now, as the Son of Heaven, I can't ignore the advice of the people." ”

"There are many casualties in the matter of Chengtianmen, Your Majesty should give an explanation to the people of the world in a reasonable way, so I have to wronged Your Highness first, and don't meet with the princess-to-be for the time being."

Zhu Qizhen sneered and laughed at himself: "I have also done that position, and I don't need you to tell me how to do it." ”

The butler was still respectful and did not reply.

Zhu Qizhen raised his hand and said, "You go out, I'm tired." ”

After the housekeeper withdrew, not long after, Chen Mao came to the door, raised his feet and stepped in directly, looked at the former emperor who had just fallen asleep, and said coldly:

"Your Majesty has a decree, order King Yi and Princess Zhunyi, together with the ministers, to go to Qingning Palace to meet the Queen Mother!"

Zhu Qizhen was woken up, and got up a little angry: "Chen Mao, don't you, Ningyanghou, know the etiquette of the imperial court?" ”

"Before you come in, at least you have to tell someone, right?"

Chen Mao still looked cold, and said: "Back to Your Highness, the lower officials only know how to listen to orders, and they really don't know anything about etiquette. ”

"Then you lead the way."

Zhu Qizhen stared at Chen Mao for a while, and really wanted to give an order to directly cut down this Ning Yanghou, who had no one in his eyes, but soon found that he had nothing to do with him, so he turned his head and stood up.

It wasn't until he saw the wooden grid brought by the soldiers of the forbidden army that his face looked better.
