Zhu Houxi swore in his heart that if anyone told him that he was righteous and stupid in the future, he would definitely be anxious with that person.

It is not a fool that several cabinet scholars can get to their current position, and it didn't take long to listen to Zhengde's question, and they reacted that there must be something greasy in this.

No matter how stupid the officials of the two prefectures of Luzhou and Fengyang are, they can't frame his son Zhu Houxi without a purpose.

Zhu Houxi looked at Zhengde with a weak heart and said: "Big brother Mingcha, the younger brother didn't actually do anything, just grabbed a chicken, grabbed a pot, and then killed the chicken, boiled it on the fire, and finally ate it."

Because he was in a hurry to go to Qingjiangpu to save the eldest brother, the younger brother who didn't have a coiled relationship on the road could only make this decision, and the younger brother told them at the time that he would return it in the future. ”

After listening to Zhu Houxi's explanation, several cabinet scholars almost had their noses crooked.

Where is this burning, killing and looting, this is obviously stealing chickens and touching dogs, the dignified prince of the world, will actually do some things like stealing chickens and dogs, no wonder the officials of the two governments reported it like this, this is completely to save face for the Ming royal family.

Looking at the faces of the cabinet scholars, Zhu Houxi said casually: "Don't worry, this prince will definitely double the losses of the two mansions in Luzhou and Fengyang." ”

Before Zhengde could speak, the cabinet scholar Liang Chu spoke up: "Your Majesty, after all, Xing Shizi is the heir of Xingfan, it is not suitable to stay in the palace for a long time, and the minister implores Your Majesty to let Xing Shizi return to the fief of Xingwang as soon as possible, and wait for the hereditary title of Xingwang after the removal of the service." ”

As soon as the cabinet chief assistant was scolded by Zhu Houxi, of course these cabinet members wanted to regain face, and immediately began to complain with the enemy: "The ministers seconded the proposal. ”

Zhengde brought Zhu Houxi back to Beizhili, and there was no plan to let him return to the fiefdom of King Xing, how could these cabinet ministers get their wish at the moment.

Zhengde said in a flat tone: "Regarding whether Xingshizi will return to King Xing's fiefdom, it is not your turn to decide, and this matter is not allowed to be mentioned in the future." ”

Even though Zhengde's tone is very flat now, everyone present can hear that Zhengde is dissatisfied with the cabinet's attitude towards mentioning this matter.

The scholars of the cabinet never expected that even if they did not investigate the responsibility of Zhu Houyu for leaving the fief without permission, but only let Zhu Houyu return to the fiefdom of King Xing, Zhengde's attitude was still so resolute.

Seeing that no one in the cabinet dared to refute at this time, Zhengde continued: "I have already ordered the Ministry of Industry to build the Xingwang Mansion on the vacant land north of the Zhan Shi Mansion, and when the imperial brother inherits the title of Xingwang, he will always stay in Beizhili, and it will also be the mansion of the Xingwang lineage. ”

Zhu Houxi found that no one in the cabinet spoke out against Zhengde's decision, and immediately knelt on the ground to receive the order of thanks, after all, Beizhi was subordinate to the feet of the Son of Heaven, and his living standard was definitely better than An Lu, since Zhengde wanted to keep him by his side, there was no need for him to insist on returning to An Lu.

In this way, about Zhu Houxi's violation of the ancestral system by leaving the fiefdom without permission, he was tacitly approved by the cabinet, and the matter of the two governments became a joke...... No, it is today's Ming royal family that has steadily defeated the civil official group headed by Yang Tinghe.

After Zhu Houxi's matter was resolved, Zhengde took Zhu Houxi and Wei Bin back to the East Palace.

Inside the Mandarin Palace.

Zhengde and Zhu Houxi sat down in priority and priority, and Wei Bin stood aside like an old monk.

"Tell me, did you do the two mansions on purpose?"

Hearing Zhengde's question, Zhu Houxi was slightly stunned, and then said, "Big brother is wise." ”

Zhu Houxi is even more convinced in his heart that Zhengde is definitely not a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it, not only has unique views in military affairs, but also has extraordinary insight and analytical ability in some aspects.

Zhengde waved his hand to prevent Zhu Houyu from touting it, he also guessed casually, but he didn't expect him to guess correctly, the matter of the two mansions was really intentional by Zhu Houyi.

Zhu Houxi wants to leave the fiefdom without permission to save the driver, and he can't let the court take this blow, of course, he has to deliberately expose some flaws, so that the court can attack him, but these flaws can't be real faults, so that he can fight back, just like before he questioned Yang Tinghe for the crime of bullying the king, and asked Yang Tinghe and other cabinet ministers to stop mentioning his unauthorized departure from the fief.

Zhengde held the armrest with one hand, put the elbow of the other hand on the armrest of the seat, leaned forward and asked, "How much layout does the imperial brother have to hide from me?" ”

Zhu Houxi shook his head like a rattle, shouted vigorously in his mouth, and then for fear that Zhengde would not believe him, he directly opened his mouth to Zhengde and analyzed: "Big brother, before someone told your brother in a dream that you fell into the water, your brother had never been out of Xingwang's Mansion, how could there be so many layouts, and the eldest brother misunderstood his brother." ”

Zhengde saw that Zhu Houxi's dead duck was hard-mouthed, so he could only say casually: "Since the imperial brother doesn't want to say it, I won't force you, I just hope that you can not put yourself in danger, after all, your eldest brother is the emperor." ”

History says that Emperor Zhengde is stubborn, but there is no such thing as Zhengde, an uneducated emperor, it is impossible to defeat the little Mongolian prince who is far superior to his own in terms of strategy - Dayan Khan, and he can operate stably when he leaves the Beijing court without permission.

Zhengde's character is very open-minded, whoever is good to him, he will favor whom, and the most intolerable thing for him is betrayal, Liu Jin, who was once the emperor of the ruling and opposition powers, is the best end.

Zhu Houyu is convinced that as long as he does not have the intention of murdering Zhengde, he can let Zhengde see through this, no matter what he does, Zhengde will not turn his face against him, and he Zhu Houyu will always be the emperor's brother of Zhengde.

Zhu Houxi, who was very moved in his heart, smiled and said, "Brother Chen, thank you for caring about big brother." ”

Zhu Houxi replied like this, which in Zhengde's eyes was equivalent to admitting in disguise that he did have some plans.

Zhu Houxi is a human being in two lives, and he is a time-traveler who has read the history of the Ming Dynasty, and there are some language arts, even if he is not the opponent of Zhengde, he will not fail to hear the mystery.

Zhengde treats him like this, he can't deceive Zhengde all the time, so admit it in disguise, so that Zhengde can feel at ease.

As Zhu Houyu expected, after listening to his words, Zhengde did not continue to ask, and began to talk about the topic that Zhu Houyu was most interested in, what to eat for dinner.

"Why don't you have a whole lamb ready for dinner?"

Zhu Houxi was frightened in the leopard room, and now when he heard Zhengde's proposal, he immediately felt a little hungry, and he needed to nourish the five internal organs temple, and nodded quickly: "Everything is arranged by the eldest brother." ”

Zhengde saw that Zhu Houxi showed a greedy appearance again, and immediately ordered Wei Bin beside him to prepare dinner.

Wei Bin, who led the order, knew that everyone would have another good fortune in the evening, and the small broken steps under his feet couldn't help but speed up a little.

Zhengde looked at Wei Bin's fast-moving back and scolded with a smile: "This dog thing." ”

Zhu Houxi touted: "This is the eldest brother's proposal, so Wei Banban will respond positively." ”

When night fell, a fire was set up in the courtyard of the East Palace, and a fat sheep from the grassland had been disposed of, and it was sent to the fire with Zhengde's order.
