Chapter 61: When things go wrong, there must be demons

In the end, Dai Yi was still coerced by Zhu Houzhao, and had to take this little bastard demon king to see his rules.

Zhu Youji is in the Kunning Palace, with Empress Zhang sitting on the left and Dai Yi on the right.

The three halls were judged, looking at Zhu Houzhao who was standing with an indomitable look.

“…… Father, Erchen is definitely not messing around, go to the fire, Erchen just wants to know how far the fire burns, see if there is any remedy, Erchen saw Zhang Zhou, he wanted to ask him how this fire came from, whether someone was secretly setting the fire, as for Erchen to come to see you, it is to let Zhang Zhou go to Erchen to talk about some knowledge in the future, Erchen wants to learn ......"

Empress Zhang, who was a mother, couldn't stand it, and reprimanded: "Prince! Zhang Qing's family is a Fangshi, what do you learn from him? ”

Zhu Youzhu and Dai Yi looked at Empress Zhang at the same time.

The two seemed to have common thoughts, as if they were still crying out for Zhang Zhou...... Who told you that Zhang Bingkuan is just a monk? He is still a scholar of Daming, and he is still a teacher in Jiangnan Township!

Zhu Houzhao said: "Queen Mother, Erchen heard that Zhang Zhou's talent is very good, he is loyal and courageous, and he is an example for his courtiers. ”

"Nonsense." Empress Zhang continued to teach her son with a straight face.

"Ahem."

Zhu Youzhu coughed a few times next to him, for some reason, now that he is a father, he suddenly has a feeling of sympathy for his son.

What do you say you know as a woman? It's still a son who can see it thoroughly, yes, it is Zhang Bingkuan's loyalty and courage to learn the way of governing the country from him!

"Prince, are you sure you want to learn from him?" Zhu Youzhu asked for confirmation.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Father, there are usually so many lecturers in the Wenhua Palace, and there are not many more of him, and the lecturers that the sons like will give lectures, and the sons can listen to them, isn't it good?" ”

Ah!

Even Dai Yi on the side felt that this reason sounded so pleasant to me.

Your Majesty now has the heart to cultivate Zhang Zhou, and find an opportunity for him to enter the palace more and contact the royal people, isn't it exactly Your Majesty's idea?

Sure enough, Zhu Youzhu nodded and said: "I can let him enter the palace to teach you a few lessons, but you must not talk about Taoism and Fangshu, just let him teach you the Four Books and Five Classics, can you listen well?" ”

Zhu Houzhao blossomed happily in his heart.

Do I want to learn magic from Zhang Zhou? That thing doesn't have decades of attainment, I'm afraid it's easy to draw a tiger and not become an anti-dog, I'm going to discuss with him how to open a bookstore, and let him tell the story of the hero, and let him bring in the magical and fun things described.

Learn?

No kidding!

"Erchen must listen carefully, if my father is worried, you can send someone to supervise, and you can also test Erchen."

Zhu Youzhu didn't expect his son's attitude to be so "sincere".

When the emperor was thinking, could it be that Bingkuan really had some unknown magic power that made me, an uncontrollable son, respect him?

Even if his son is hot, he should let Zhang Bingkuan try it, maybe he can make the prince adopt his heart.

Zhu Youzhu said to Dai Yi on the side: "In two days, let Bingkuan enter the palace, he has to prepare for the Spring Festival, and he can't delay too much time." ”

Dai Yi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, isn't Zhang Jieyuan still responsible for the rebuilding of Qingning Palace in the palace?" ”

Empress Zhang was puzzled and said, "Why should such a thing be handed over to an outsider?" Is it bad to give it to Crane Ling and Trillium? ”

Apparently Empress Zhang had a dispute over this and rebuilt the palace...... Among them, the oil and water are so big, her two younger brothers are still looking forward to it, but the opportunity fell to Zhang Zhou of unknown origin, how could she not be annoyed.

"Queen, I asked Zhang Qing's family to be responsible for rebuilding Qingning Palace, but I am also afraid that the direction will not match or something, and it will bring new disasters, so it is better for him to keep an eye on it."

"Then Your Majesty can let him be a staff officer, why do you want to give him great power? What did he do if he messed around? ”

"No, it won't."

Zhu Youzhu is not a stupid person.

Give it to your two younger brothers, that's really messing up, and besides, your two younger brothers will cause trouble every time they enter the palace, and they can even do things like flirting with palace maids and beating and scolding eunuchs in the palace, what else do they dare not do?

Zhu Youzhu finally clapped his head and said: "That's it, prince, you go back to the East Palace to study hard, as long as you behave well, I will let Zhang Bingkuan enter the palace more, if you don't behave well, then don't see you!" ”

Zhu Houzhao looked excited.

He didn't want to study, just because he couldn't find the fun and expectation of learning, he wanted to study hard for the fun things in Zhang Zhou's mouth, not to mention pretending to study hard, even if it was more than that, he could do it.

Now that the fun and anticipation are there, why don't you perform well?

"Father, rest assured, the sons must listen carefully, and the sons will learn the way of governing the country from Zhang Zhou!"

When Dai Yi saw the appearance of the emperor and the crown prince's father and son, he suddenly sighed in his heart.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Don't be the prince holding back anything bad, he wants to cause a big trouble, and then he will threaten him and let him wipe his buttocks.

……

……

The next day, in the court.

Zhu Youzhu appeared in Fengtian Hall with a heavy face, and the civil and military ministers below were there, as the first court meeting after the fire in Qingning Palace, a large court meeting was specially held, and the emperor was also ready to reflect on his mistakes at the court meeting.

In fact, he didn't need to reflect on it, and in the past day, he received no less than 50 notes on "talking about disasters".

The ministers have taken advantage of the disaster to put all the chaos in the court and China in the past two years.

In addition to mentioning Li Guang, there are also mentioning the misdeeds of the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, and then there are people who want to take the opportunity to rescue the officials who are imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, and some people want to use the natural and man-made disasters in various places to let the emperor govern the country well......

Everything.

However, Zhu Youzhu was very cautious in this matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the disaster in Qingning Palace, I am very sad, reflecting on what I have done in the past few years, I have indeed done something inadequate, and you don't need to complain about the heavens and people, and I will bear all the causes of the disaster."

"In addition, Li Guang is dead, and he can be regarded as having repented of his mistakes, and I have decided not to pursue it any longer, as for the people who have dealings with him......"

Speaking of which, more than half of the civil and military generals present raised their hearts to their throats.

This is the big thing that affects their lives.

"I will let the East Investigation Factory make a distinction at its discretion, as long as it does not endanger the Daming Society, it will not be investigated, and if it is obtained by befriending internal officials, it will be handed over to atonement for its crimes. Specifically, let Dongchang tell you. ”

Xiao Jing walked out and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

The ministers below are now respectful and afraid of Xiao Jing.

Now the discretion is equivalent to falling on the side of Dongchang, it seems that the emperor wants to make a big thing small, but it seems inevitable to find out a few typical ones.

And Tu Tu, the secretary of the ministry, couldn't help but glance at Liu Jian's side, and admired Liu Jian's insight in his heart, and sure enough, it was more important to talk to Xiao Jing from Admiral Dongchang......

If the emperor really handed over the discretion to Xiao Jing, then the six Shangshu level would basically be safe, because Xiao Jing would not dare to attack Shangshu, which would cause unease in the court.

Grasping the typical can't catch the head of the six books.

People who have almost the same thoughts as Tu Tu include Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Bai Ang, the secretary of the Criminal Department...... The two of them are definitely involved in the case.

As for Zhou Jing, the secretary of the household department, and Xu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, although they are also on the roster, they themselves don't know it, because sometimes the money dredged is not sent by them personally...... In the end, only Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, looked more calm and relaxed, because in the past two years, the Ministry of War had almost no direct contact with internal officials.

However, in the military department, there is also Wang Yue on the three sides of the Northwest General System, who has a close relationship with the internal officials.

……

……

After the dissolution of the Imperial Council.

The emperor first took Dai Yi and them into the inner court, and the words about disaster prevention and disaster still have to continue, and the minister's resignation and resignation of the minister who should say things will not affect it, and this turmoil will last for a long time, and it will not stop until the end of the year.

And Xiao Jing stayed behind first, responsible for appeasing those courtiers.

"Grandpa Xiao!"

When the ministers left the Fengtian Palace, they immediately surrounded Xiao Jing.

Xie Qian stepped forward and asked, "Gonggong Xiao, I heard that when the Qingning Palace disaster was the night before, the Empress Dowager had moved out of the Qingning Palace, and said that someone had an early warning, can you elaborate on one or two?" ”

Xiao Jing looked over with a meaningful look, as if to say, what are you Xie Ge pretending to be?

Dare to say that you don't know about Zhang Zhou's early warning of the fire? At that time, it was still the wind of our family to let out, and I deliberately let the people in your cabinet know.

"Please forgive our family for not being able to say it explicitly, but the Queen Mother is safe and sound, this is true, thank God for blessing you."

The people present looked at each other.

Except for the three members of the cabinet who knew that it was Zhang Zhou's early warning, no one else knew about it, and they were all strange in their hearts.

The fire happened so suddenly, and the Empress Dowager actually moved out in advance? The Empress Dowager's move to the palace is not a big deal, if there is really a situation of moving the palace, it is most likely that there is a warning, who is so awesome to calculate this matter?

Ma Wensheng asked: "Then what is the cause of this fire?" ”

Xiao Jing didn't answer, just pointed to the sky.

Xie Qian said: "It must be related to the lightning and thunder the night before, this is the end of autumn, and there is such abnormal weather, it seems that it is really a sign of heaven." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Many of the ministers present were nodding.

At this moment, Zhang Mao squeezed out of the crowd and asked with concern: "Gonggong Xiao, ......what did the old man mention to His Majesty before?"

Xiao Jing looked at Zhang Mao and couldn't help frowning.

Is your British husband really taking care of the small family and ignoring everyone, just thinking about letting Zhang Zhou treat your son? Is it the palace that matters, or is your son's life important?

"Huh."

Xiao Jing didn't answer, but waved his hand instead, "Everyone, disperse." ”

Everyone was only in groups of three or five, heading out of the palace.

Liu Jian was interested in the queen of the palace, and he wanted to ask Xiao Jing alone after the ministers left.

"Liu Zhongtang, do you have something?" Xiao Jing was very polite to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian said: "Gonggong Xiao, it is said that yesterday from Li Guang's mansion, the accounts of the bribes were searched, and many ministers in the DPRK and China were recorded...... Hold on for prosecution? ”

Xiao Jing smiled: "Didn't Your Majesty say everything?" The matter of befriending Li Guang should be handled separately as appropriate...... Alas, the truth is not hidden, in fact, if you want to investigate, you can't find out any of the officials of the six departments, at most, you will take some preacher officials to open the knife, and only dismiss them without asking about the crime. ”

"Why is this happening?"

Liu Jian also wondered.

Such a big matter, the Manchu Dynasty colluded with Li Guang, and the emperor said that if he didn't pursue it, he wouldn't pursue it?

There's always a saying, right?

Xiao Jing leaned over and said, "This is the one who warned the heavenly fire in the palace, and made a statement to His Majesty, which was adopted by His Majesty." ”

"Zhang Bingkuan?"

"Yes, the middle hall must not speak to a third person."

Liu Jian took a cool breath.

After the fire in the palace forced Li Guang to death, Zhang Zhou was able to persuade the king to reduce the impact of this matter, and the influence of this son on the palace affairs was far beyond the scope of the courtiers.

Compared with Li Guang, there are also more than that.
