Mandarin Palace.

In the afternoon of the same day, there was a lecture in the East Palace, and many officials of the Hanlin Academy were listed, but Zhu Houzhao, as the only student, listened very inattentively, and looked back at the palace gate from time to time.

When the crown prince Xian Ma Wang Wei started to speak, what he talked about was "Mencius Yi", and before he could say a few words, there were several eunuchs outside who ran in and interrupted his preaching, and every time Wang Wei waited for someone to finish talking to Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao turned his head back before restarting the lecture.

Finally, when Liu Jin came in again, Wang Wei couldn't help it.

Wang Wei said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, now that you have come out of the pavilion to give lectures, you should focus on your studies. The ministers and others live up to the grace of God. ”

Zhu Houzhao said impatiently: "This palace talks to people, does it affect you?" ”

After speaking, Liu Jin over there came up again, and after saying the words, Zhu Houzhao jumped up directly on the spot: "Okay, he is Dai Yi, he dares to play scheming with this palace, and deliberately let people not go to Donghua Gate, right?" When I saw him when I turned around, I grabbed him and beat him directly. ”

Hearing this, Wang Wei instantly felt that the prince's teacher was not good.

It is said that if there is a father, there must be a son, but is this son really born to the father?

Why is there such a big contrast in personality?

Liu Jin didn't dare to offend Dai Yi, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that Zhang Gongsheng deliberately went to other palace gates?" ”

Meaning, this is not Dai Yi's responsibility, and Zhang Zhou should be blamed.

Zhu Houzhao scolded: "Pig brain, you? In the palace, what power does he have as an outsider to decide where to go? Isn't it that someone else will take him wherever he goes? ”

At this point, Zhu Houzhao was very sober-minded, and then he shouted: "No, this palace is going to see my father." That's it for today, and I'll come back tomorrow......"

Wang Wei and other officials were speechless.

The gentleman comes to give a lecture to the students, and the result is up to the students to decide when to leave school?

That's how the royal treats Mr.

But before these people could protest, Zhu Houzhao had already run out of the Wenhua Hall with people.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has grounded you, you can't go out......" Although Liu Jin and the others are usually used to walking quickly, when it comes to racing, they are not Zhu Houzhao's opponents, and no one can catch up with them.

……

……

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhu was meeting Xiao Jing, who had returned from Zhang Zhou.

Xiao Jing brought Zhu Youzhi the herb of the "Edict of Guilt" drafted by Zhang Zhou.

“…… Since the end of the year, the disaster is still different, and the fire of Qingning Palace is near, and it has changed even more, and if you are afraid of the ice of the abyss, you will be obedient......"

After Zhu Youzhu read it, he sighed a lot, put down his guilt and said: "It's really all about my heart, but for some reason, these words seem to have been hovering in my heart, and they haven't been written in detail, but they have been breached by him one by one, like roundworms in my heart, scratching people's hearts." ”

Several eunuchs next to him listened, and they were all shocked by the magic of Zhang Zhou's figuring out the holy will.

If Zhang Zhou is an official, then everything will not be in line with the holy will in the future? And what about cabinet ministers and celebrants?

Xiao Jing took out another thing and said, "Your Majesty, there is also a note from Zhang Xie Yuan here." ”

"Solo?"

Zhu Youzhu frowned.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, unless the border is played urgently, it is not possible to play secretly, but not every note needs to be closed to the cabinet to let the cabinet draft a note, that is to say, not all the notes can be seen by several ministers of the cabinet, and there will always be many notes that will be directly submitted to the celebrant supervisor.

But like Zhang Zhou, who is just a person, but he does not go through the political envoy and the cabinet, and Xiao Jing directly presents the secret recital, but it is an exception.

Zhu Youzhu nodded and held it in his hand.

Xiao Jing became nervous.

Even Dai Yi, who went out to pick up Xiao Jing just now, also looked reserved, obviously mentioning something very important in this recital.

Zhu Youzhu opened it and looked at it, his face did not move, but he seemed to finish reading it quickly, and he put the music together.

"Has anyone else read this note other than the person who wrote it?" Zhu Youzhu asked.

"Not yet." Xiao Jing is very honest.

Although he knew the general content of it, he knew to avoid it, and as a person personally involved in the case, he could not directly read the content in order to avoid suspicion, otherwise he would be suspected of collusion.

But in fact, it was collusion to get Zhang Zhoulai to exonerate him.

"Hmm." Zhu Youzhu nodded and didn't say anything more.

Dai Yi asked: "Your Majesty, but what did that Zhang Jieyuan predict?" ”

After Zhu Youzhu sat back in the dragon case, he said calmly: "No, he just persuaded me to give priority to the stability of the imperial court, and not to implicate and expand Li Guang's death, which is easy to cause chaos in the court during the eventful autumn of the imperial court, which will go against the original intention of God to show mercy to all the people." ”

When Dai Yi heard this, his heart became even more nervous.

In addition to Xiao Jinghui giving gifts to Li Guang, he Dai Yi will also give gifts, and the operation of the previous six ministries and other yamen was completed by the coercion of the celebrant supervisor, saying that Li Guang received gifts...... He Dai Yi actually got a lot.

If it weren't for the fact that this group of people succumbed to Li Guang's obscenity and had to do things for Li Guang, how could there be a situation where so many ministers in the DPRK and China would have to give gifts to Li Guang?

The emperor wants to investigate strictly, and he can't run away.

Zhu Youzhi seemed to be very tired suddenly, supporting his head with his hands and closing his eyes to recuperate.

Dai Yi reminded: "Your Majesty take care of yourself. ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "From last night to now, I have experienced so many things, and I am exhausted, how can I take care?" What about Li Guang's body? ”

At this time, Zhu Youzhi was still concerned about the situation after Li Guang's death, and even Dai Yi and Xiao Jing realized that this emperor was affectionate.

I have known Li Guang for so many years, and when Zhu Youzhu was still the crown prince, Li Guang took care of Zhu Youzhi by his side, and removed Li Guang's use of Taoist magic to disrupt the country, and he also had the personal friendship of the master and servant.

Dai Yi said: "It has been sent out of the palace gate." ”

"Let people be buried." Zhu Youzhu said, "Give sacrifices." ”

"Yes."

Originally, Li Guang was already wearing a sinful body, and the emperor should not give sacrifices.

Now that the emperor said that he would give it, Dai Yi and other eunuchs did not dare to disobey.

The Qianqing Palace was suddenly very quiet, everyone didn't dare to speak, and they had to be careful when breathing.

Zhu Youzhu asked, "You ceremonial eunuchs have been held hostage by Li Guang a lot before, right?" In matters big and small in the palace, does he often have to meddle? ”

When Dai Yi heard this, he fell to his knees with a puff, neither explaining the situation nor defending himself.

It is also equivalent to default.

The emperor has a clear heart, what else is he saying?

"Get up!"

Zhu Youzhu said, "I know that all this is attributed to me, because I listened to Li Guang and believed in him before, so that he was able to stretch out his hand to all aspects of the court and the central government, so as to become the beginning of the chaos. Bingkuan's words were actually very polite, and he could completely say that the biggest responsibility for this was my own body. ”

"Your Majesty......"

"Alright. Then as Bingkuan played, if it is a person who makes a profit because of his friendship with Li Guang, he will be dismissed in private after being questioned by Dongchang and will not be publicized, and if he befriends with other things, he will not ask. ”

"Yes."

Xiao Jing replied cautiously.

Zhu Youzhu took out the edict drafted by Zhang Zhou again, put it aside and said: "This thing, put it away first, the courtiers will definitely talk about the disaster in the next few days, and it is not yet the time to issue the edict of guilt, in a few days, after the matter subsides, I will also give an explanation to the subjects of the world." ”

"Yes."

At this time, Dai Yi, Xiao Jing and others had fallen in their hearts.

The emperor now not only did not investigate them for the crime of aiding and abetting the abuse, but even handed over the investigation of Li Guangyu's party to Dongchang, which is not obvious...... Instead of being punished, there may be benefits?

The group of people around Li Guang, any one of them is so rich that they are full of oil, and now that they have lost their backers, whether they are directly slapped to death or retracted, it is enough for them to make a lot of money.

……

……

The emperor went to the Kunning Palace to rest.

It's not enough to take a nap in the morning, so you need to make up for it at noon.

In the eyes of several eunuchs, probably the emperor has now gone back to his wife to find psychological comfort, and the emperor has been injured a lot at the end of this day, and probably only Empress Zhang can soothe her husband's fragile heart.

Dai Yi, Xiao Jing, Chen Kuan, and Wei Bin walked out, their faces were still solemn before, but after leaving the Qianqing Palace, they all had a kind of joy to see the moon through the clouds, and they couldn't bear to show their expressions.

Wei Bin was the least involved in this matter, and he sighed: "How did you end up in such a situation overnight? ”

Dai Yi said coldly: "Could it be that you still miss yesterday?" ”

"Don't dare." Wei Bin hurriedly bowed his head.

Dai Yi looked at Xiao Jing again and said, "Father-in-law Xiao, you have to investigate the bad things about Li Guang's death." ”

This is clearly reminding Xiao Jing, what is the benefit of you finding out Li Guang's remnants, remember to have my share.

Xiao Jing was a little embarrassed: "Father-in-law Dai, look at this...... If it doesn't work well, will it ......?"

"Are you worried about that Zhang Jieyuan?"

Dai Yi naturally understands the "know-how" of investigating this case.

It was Zhang Zhou who played it secretly, and I don't know what he said, but in the emperor's previous tone, it seems that Zhang Zhou didn't use any heavenly tricks to fool the emperor, but only said that it was widely implicated or contrary to God's original intention of showing mercy to all the people.

It's better to play in the name of a courtier, rather than a priest.

It is only because the emperor has great trust in Zhang Zhou now that he will adopt it, if other ministers do this kind of trick...... The devil knows if the minister who played the song and the minister who paid the bribes were not in the same group.

Maybe the emperor not only won't listen, but will also ask for the guilt together!

Xiao Jing asked: "In this matter, how should you grasp the proportions?" ”

Dai Yi thought about it for a while, but his eyes were on Zhu Houzhao, who was running all the way not far away, and said casually: "You can do it yourself!" Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can't come...... Your Majesty is resting ......"

After he finished shouting, he remembered that today he had promised to take Zhang Zhou to Donghua Gate, so that Zhu Houzhao could pester Zhang Zhou to ask questions such as longevity.

He hurriedly said to Xiao Jing again: "You block the prince first, and our family will go first!" ”

"The surname is Dai, don't run if you have the ability, you dare to fool even this palace! Let's see how this palace catches you and dismantles you......"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty has arrived at Kunning Palace, and no one is allowed to disturb you. That Zhang Jieyuan is also out of the palace, but he will often enter the palace recently, or ...... See you next time? ”
