Originally, I just thought that a eunuch who was praised by the civil officials was somewhat problematic, but now I see that Xu Pu really spared no effort to get people back through the Empress Dowager Zhou, but he knows that the hand of the civil official has indeed reached into the palace.

The palace is supposed to be the emperor's private place, but now the most important celebrant and eunuch are actually manipulated, so do you want your own safety?

From the Prince's Mansion to the Imperial Palace, Zhu Youzhu has always faintly felt that a pair of eyes are staring at him all the time, and now it has undoubtedly confirmed this more clearly.

"Your Majesty, dinner is ready!" Qin Conggui hurriedly walked in and bowed his hand flatteringly.

Zhu Youji's stomach was indeed a little hungry, and he looked up at the sunset outside the window, then put down the music in his hand, got up and went to the dining room to eat.

There are dozens of eunuchs and palace maids in the Qianqing Palace, and it is still daytime, it can be said that there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and there are people who greet them everywhere they pass.

Zhu Youzhu didn't need to pay attention to the eunuchs and palace maids who were courteous, but as soon as he walked into the dining room, he heard a "bang" on the ground, and a porcelain placed next to him shattered.

"Who did this?" Qin Ji, who had just stepped forward to greet Zhu Youji, looked back and saw this scene, and immediately asked in a fierce voice.

Standing on the edge of the broken porcelain was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old little palace maid, who was already frightened at this time, and her whole body seemed to be still trembling.

"The slave maid just accidentally knocked it down, please punish Your Majesty!" Niu Mengmeng saw the little palace maid next to him asking for help, so he knelt down with his heart and confessed the punishment.

Qin Ji's face sank, and when he gave an order: "Come on, escort her to the Shen Criminal Division!" ”

The two little eunuchs immediately stepped forward, and although Niu Mengmeng looked very depressed, he still obediently followed the two eunuchs away.

"Father-in-law Qin, how do you usually punish Niu Mengmeng?" Zhu Youzhu hesitated for a moment, and then asked seriously.

Qin Ji is the eunuch in charge of the Prince's Mansion, and he has always shown an iron-faced and selfless image, so he said seriously: "The old slave is not familiar with the criminal law of the current palace criminal department!" It's just that today is the day of the emperor's accession to the throne, and this has made such a big mistake, and the Prudential Punishment Department will definitely peel off a layer of skin from that! ”

Zhu Youzhu thought that breaking things was not a big deal, but when he realized that today's day was indeed special, he looked up thoughtfully at a little palace maid with tears in her eyes.

Just now he clearly saw that it was this thin little palace maid who accidentally knocked down the porcelain, but that Niu Mengmeng thought that he was the head iron, and actually stood up and took the initiative to be punished on behalf of others.

Zhu Youzhu picked up a piece of bacon and fried bamboo shoots, and finally said softly: "Huang Pan, you go to the Shen Criminal Division and let them be lightly punished!" ”

Huang Pan was about to accept it, but Zhu Youzhu stopped him and said, "You better not go!" ”

Qin Ji was trying to stop it, but when he saw that Zhu Youji did not interfere with the justice in the palace, he swallowed back the words that came out of his mouth.

Zhu Youzhu didn't pay attention to Qin Ji's thoughts at all, but said to Liu Jin next to him: "You are more familiar with the palace, you go to the Shen Penal Division to give an order, let them be dealt with lightly!" ”

"Slave obeys!" Although Liu Jin didn't understand why the emperor sheltered that hairy palace maid, he cherished this honor very much, and even said respectfully.

"Wait!" Qin Ji saw that Zhu Youzhu actually interfered with the administration of the palace, so he stopped Liu Jindao.

Liu Jin only glanced at Qin Ji coldly, but his footsteps did not stop at all, and he had already walked out of the dining room quickly, only Zhu Youji's will in his heart.

The corners of Zhu Youji's mouth rose slightly, and he found that he seemed to have found the right person.

When Huang Pan and Qin Conggui saw this scene, they especially saw the corners of Zhu Youji's mouth rising, as if they knew what kind of eunuch they should be.

Although it was the day of the ceremony, today's sacrifice was only fruit wine, and livestock could not be slaughtered, so naturally no new meat appeared on the table.

After dinner, Zhu Youzhu went directly to Qingning Palace.

The Forbidden City was built with reference to the Nanjing Imperial Palace, but Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di did not have the need for the "Queen Mother's Palace", so they did not build a palace room belonging to the Queen Mother's Palace.

It was not until Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne that the Forbidden City ushered in the first real empress dowager, and Zhu Zhanji's approach was to give up one of his palaces "Renshou Palace" to his mother Empress Dowager Zhang.

When he arrived in Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, he was promoted to Empress Dowager Zhang at this time, and naturally continued to live in Renshou Palace, while Empress Dowager Sun was promoted to no longer have a place to live, and was finally arranged in Qingning Palace, the east road outside the palace.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the two parts of the Forbidden City, which are divided into two parts of the outer court and the inner court, there are also two parts of the outer east road and the outer west, which are located on the east and west sides of the inner court.

Although the Empress Dowager Zhou could choose to move back to Renshou Palace in the inner court, she seemed to have become accustomed to living there, so she resolutely chose to continue to stay in Qingning Palace.

When Zhu Youzhu took the dragon chariot to Qingning Palace on Waidong Road, an old eunuch came to the Yamen of the celebrant eunuch.

Li Rong, the master of ceremonies, led the four eunuchs who came out from the inside, knelt down respectfully to the old eunuch who appeared, and said, "The child respects his godfather and returns!" ”

Although the eunuchs have no queen, many eunuchs have raised a lot of godsons, and these godsons will raise godsons, so the status of the powerful old eunuchs in the palace is very high.

"Get up!" Wynne walked out of the night, looking rather majestic.

Li Rong was able to sit in the position of the boss and supervisor of the palm print, thanks to Huai'en's promotion for so many years, and immediately pointed to the inside and said: "Godfather, the child has prepared a banquet to pick up the wind for you, please!" ”

"No hurry!" Huai En raised his hand, but he looked at Chen Zhun, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the supervisor of the Dongchang Factory next to him, and said: "Chen Zhun, I heard that you arrested Li Honghai in the household department, can you have such a thing?" ”

Chen Zhun arrested people last month, but at that time, the emperor happened to be seriously ill, so there was no news of the report, so he nodded very honestly and said: "This is indeed the case, Li Honghai ......"

"No need to explain! Dongchang ignores the laws of the court and arrests people, even if it is justified, it is a disorderly government, you will release people immediately! Wynne interrupted him immediately, but ordered directly.

Chen Huai's brows furrowed, it may be difficult for other officials to distinguish between loyalty and traitor, but the evidence of this Hubu Langzhong's corruption of ink has been ironclad, how can he let that corrupt official go?

"What? I've been away from the palace for two years, and now no one listens to what I say? Seeing Chen Zhun's hesitant appearance, Huaien immediately straightened his face and said.

Li Rong naturally maintained the majesty of his godfather, not to mention that he knew that his godfather was not recalled for no reason, so he coughed heavily.

"Yes!" Chen Zhun knew that he couldn't argue with Huaien, so he would give up.

Wynne saw that things were done, and stepped into this familiar place.

Although he went to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum for two years, judging from the current results, he actually did not lose at all.

If it weren't for the choice he made back then, how could he have obtained the dragon protection that would go down in history, and how could he be admired by the world?

As for the power, it is precisely because of the dragon protection work back then that now he will not face the dilemma of a son of heaven and a courtier, but the power can continue, and the throne of the seal of the celebrant still belongs to him.

"Godfather, this is your favorite daughter red!" Li Rong unscrewed a wine bottle and poured it very flatteringly.

Wynne smelled the tempting smell of wine in the air, but he still resisted the temptation and waved his hand and said, "Be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship and remove the wine!" ”

Although the shrewd first emperor has passed away, and now the successor to the throne is the stupid white sweet prince, even if it is a small prohibition, it is not a matter at all. It's just that he has been able to stand in the inner palace for so many years, relying on caution.

It was precisely because he saw through the mind of the first emperor that he behaved more loyal than anyone else, and finally won the trust of the first emperor. Now in the face of this new emperor, it is natural to be careful.

"Yes!" Li Rong secretly admired Huai'en's self-discipline, and nodded his head.

The four people at the same table watched the wine bottle being taken away, and their eyes flashed with a touch of loss, but they knew that Wynne's approach was the most correct. If you want to gain greater power, then you must follow the example of Wynn and be strict with yourself.
