Chapter 140: The letter is not in hand
After Zhu Di sat down, the first thing he did was to look in the direction of Xu Zilin.
After seeing Xu Zilin, who was standing and swaying from side to side with His Highness, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Xu Zilin arrived on time today.
But except for Xu Zilin, everyone knows that Zhu Di came later than before.
It's just that no one thought that the reason why he was late was because he was afraid that Xu Zilin would be late again.
"Zhong Aiqing, do you have something to play?"
Zhu Di's eyes stared directly at Xu Zilin, as if no one else could tolerate anyone except Xu Zilin.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play!"
At this moment, one of His Highnesses suddenly stood up.
Only then did Zhu Di turn his head and look over.
"Oh? Has something happened to your criminal department lately? Why play? ”
The person who stood up at this moment was Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
As for the other secretary of the Criminal Department, he is also in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Jin Chun.
Zheng Ci was standing in the hall at the moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
He took a deep breath before he spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, two days later, there will be a poetry conference in Song Shangshu's mansion, I don't know if Your Majesty knows about this matter?"
There was a hint of a smile in Zhu Di's eyes, he didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Song Li who was standing on the other side.
Song Li stepped forward without hurry.
"Your Majesty, this matter has not yet been played by the minister, this matter is discussed between the minister and Jin Shangshu, originally thinking that Xu County Ling has just arrived, and the ministers are also dissatisfied with him, so this poetry conference is specially held, so that Xu County Ling can show his ability, so that he can also block the mouth of Youyou."
Zhu Di laughed at this time, and then he looked at Xu Zilin.
"How about it, Xu Zilin, what do you think of the method that my Aiqing has come up with for you, are you willing to try it then?"
Xu Zilin came back to his senses at this time, and he was stunned for a moment before he spoke.
"Whether I want to go or not, can't I make my own decisions, after all, Jin Shangshu has already sent someone to send me a letter, telling me that I must be there when the time comes, otherwise I will look good."
Xu Zilin said subconsciously, but after finishing speaking, he realized that this was above the court, and his words could be regarded as half slander!
As for saying that it was half, it was because Jin Chun did let him go, but Jin Chun never said anything like making him look good.
At the same time, after listening to Xu Zilin's words, Zhu Di also looked at Jin Chun with a serious face.
"Is that true? Jin Chun, when did you become so capable that you would threaten people? ”
Jin Chun's heart suddenly fell, he knew that Zhu Di was angry, but he still hurriedly explained.
"Your Majesty, please Your Majesty to be clear, this must not be what the minister said, the minister sent a letter to Xu County Order that day, as for what is written in it, let Xu County Order take out the letter and take a look, it will naturally be clear!"
Although Jin Chun was anxious to explain to Zhu Di, his thoughts were not affected in any way, and he still said something reasonable.
It's just that for Xu Zilin, let him take out the letter at this time, but he really can't take it out.
The letter had already been given to Jiang Ci yesterday, and Jiang Ci estimated that it had already been given to Wei Yuqing and asked her to take it to the ghost market.
Where is this letter now, Xu Zilin really has no score in his heart.
"What, Xu Xianling is unwilling to take out this letter?"
Jin Chun saw that Xu Zilin didn't speak for a long time, so he laughed mockingly and spoke at Xu Zilin.
"Could it be that Xu Xianling deliberately hid this letter in order to embarrass him?"
Jin Chun's words jumped out one after another, and Xu Zilin frowned and turned his head to look at Jin Chun.
For no reason, why did Jin Chun suddenly bring it up and take out the letter.
If he had directly stated what he had written in the letter, he would have admitted it.
But now Jin Chun's actions made Xu Zilin feel that something was wrong.
"What Jin Shangshu said is a bit serious, why should I embarrass you, as for this letter, you don't have to find it and bring it over, what is written in this letter, Jin Shangshu and I are very clear, we might as well confront each other?"
Xu Zilin laughed dryly, and then said to Jin Chun.
Originally, Jin Chun was just deceiving Xu Zilin, but now looking at Xu Zilin's wrong expression, he was even more sure that Xu Zilin must not have left the letter in his hand.
Now that Jin Chun has seen this matter, he will definitely not just open the story like this and let this matter pass like this.
"Xu Xianling, you and I can't believe my words, after all, no one present has ever read the letter, so I still think that the way to get the letter is the best and the most true."
Jin Chun continued to say to Xu Zilin.
He was telling Xu Zilin both inside and outside his words that he must see the letter he wrote yesterday today.
Xu Zilin's face gradually darkened, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Or rather, he had just woken up and didn't know how to explain it.
And Zhu Di, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had already noticed that the atmosphere that the two of them saw was wrong, and after a long time, seeing that neither of them spoke again, he spoke.
"Okay, what's there to make noise above the court, if the two of you are not convinced, then you will come to see me after retreating from the court."
Jin Chun was stunned for a moment, he turned his head to look at Zhu Di, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"Your Majesty, the ministers don't need to see ......"
"I said that you should come to see me after you retreat from the court, why, now my words don't work for you?"
Without waiting for Jin Chun to finish speaking, Zhu Di quickly interrupted Jin Chun's words.
"The minister doesn't dare, His Majesty's words are naturally a holy decree, and the minister will abide by it."
Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction.
He then glanced at Xu Zilin, but didn't speak again, just turned his head to look at Zheng Ci, who had been standing on the side for a long time.
"Zheng Ci, Fang Cai's words, you continue."
Zheng Ci nodded, and then continued to speak.
"I wonder if Your Majesty and the Crown Prince will go to this poetry conference?"
As he spoke, Zheng Ci turned his head to look at Zhu Gaochi, who was standing in the corner of the front row.
Zhu Gaochi then stood up.
"Since you want to compete with Xu Zilin, then this palace naturally wants to take a look, and you seem to have forgotten that Xu Zilin is also the person that his father values the most, and he will definitely go when he comes to his father, right?"
As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di who was sitting on the dragon chair.
And Zhu Di nodded without hesitation.
"This is natural, I will go there myself when the time comes, and I hope you don't play any tricks on me."
As he spoke, Zhu Di's gaze slowly swept over everyone present.
The people who were seen by Zhu Di all lowered their heads weakly, and none of them dared to look at Zhu Di.
After looking around, Zhu Di also understood everything in his heart.
