In the eyes of the young man in Jinyiwei,

Zhu Biao, who was about to put down the pen, immediately put down the pen in his hand and just focused on the handwritten letter that his mother wrote to him.

A moment later, in front of the young man in Jinyiwei, he burned the handwritten letter written to him by Queen Ma.

Immediately after, he looked at the young man in front of him and said, "You go back and tell the queen that as long as the two of them can make Ye Qing willing to come, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty will definitely pave the way for him to come to Beijing to take up his post." ”

"By the way, tell my mother that the coastal areas are windy and wetter, so she must take care of herself."

“.”

The young man in Jinyi was stunned for a moment, and then he clasped his fists and saluted: "Minister, the order!" ”

After the young man in Jinyiwei left, Zhu Biao called the eunuch and said, "Xuan, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei has sent Jiang Xuan to see Gu." ”

After the eunuch left, Zhu Biao became no longer serious.

At this moment, Zhu Biao is just an ordinary husband, a husband who knows how to appease his wife without worrying about himself, and goes home to rest first.

After the crown princess left the imperial study, she also stood halfway back to the East Palace, looking at the full moon that Zhu Yuanzhang could also look up to see.

"Father, you didn't do that."

"If I tire my man out, I'll go to my father's (Chang Yuchun) mausoleum to sue you!"

"No, my father can't take care of you, I have to go to your father's tomb to complain!"

“.”

Just when Concubine Chang was thinking like this, he took a look at Jiang Zhen who was walking towards him.

After Jiang Zhen saluted, she just smiled back and went to the East Palace alone.

But before she could walk a few steps, she saw the oncoming official Shangshu, that is, Lu Ben, the father of the prince's side concubine.

"Minister Lu Ben, meet the crown princess!"

Lu Ben folded his hands, pointed his thumbs upward, and bowed nearly ninety degrees.

As far as the gift he performed to the crown princess is concerned, it can definitely be regarded as a very formal and rigorous courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and he did not rely on the identity of the elder at all, and there was the slightest neglect.

From a personal point of view, he is the father of the crown prince's side concubine, and he is her husband's father-in-law, even if she doesn't call her father-in-law, she should call 'Lu Bo'!

But this is the palace inside, and the human touch here is limited to Zhu Yuanzhang and his family!

Therefore, he, the father of the crown prince's side concubine, is still the servant of the crown prince's concubine!

Concubine Chang looked at this elder who was rigorous in his work and never took a step beyond Lei Chi, and she was also quite respectful.

Concubine Chang bowed and said, "Uncle Lu doesn't have to be polite, why did you go to the imperial study at this time?" ”

Lu Ben smiled lightly and said politely: "I should be on duty tonight, and not long ago, I was summoned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and said that there was something important to discuss." ”

After Chang Shi nodded, he didn't think much about it, but just advised: "Please also ask Lu Bo to persuade His Highness not to work so hard, you are also his father-in-law!" ”

As soon as Lu Ben heard this, according to his rigorous style of acting, he should reply, 'His Royal Highness the Prince's father-in-law is King Kaiping (Chang Yuchun)'!

But he did not politely reply to this sentence, but chose to acquiesce.

Lu Ben smiled lightly: "The minister remembers, please don't worry too much about the crown princess, after Your Majesty comes back, His Royal Highness the crown prince will be more relaxed." ”

"Your Majesty is not on these days, and the minister will definitely do his best to assist His Highness."

"Please also ask the princess to go back to the palace to rest early!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Ben went straight to the imperial study.

Chang Shi looked at the back of Lu Ben going straight to the imperial study, and suddenly had an inexplicable sense of unease.

In fact, she didn't know why she felt so uneasy.

You must know that whether it is Lu Ben or Concubine Lu, the impression given to her is that she is the kind of person who pays attention to the rules and never takes a step beyond Lei Chi.

It can be said that whether it is a person or a work, there is absolutely no choice!

But it was this perfection that made her feel inexplicably uneasy, and the more perfect their father and daughter were, the more uneasy she felt.

But she just can't say, what is uneasy!

After a while, Concubine Chang was only a little tired from taking charge of the harem affairs during this time, so that she was irritable and thought about it.

But at the same time, Lu Ben, who was heading towards the imperial study, had his eyes deepened again.

At this moment, in the imperial study,

Jiang Zhen knelt on one knee and clasped his fists and saluted: "Jiang Xuan, deputy commander of the minister's brocade and guard, pay a visit to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhu Biao said rigorously: "Jiang Xuan, I want you to do something." ”

"Your Majesty, as Master Guo, was sent to sea by Ye Qingchong, the prefect of Ningbo, and it happened in front of the public."

"It should also reach the ears of Hu Weiyong and Kong Kebiao and his party, I want you to sleep during the day for the past few days and monitor Hu Weiyong and Kong Kebiao and his party at night."

"Look at them, what do you want to do with Ye Qing!"

Jiang Zhen hugged his fists and said: "Minister, the order!" ”

Soon after Jiang Zhen left, Lu Ben came to the imperial study.

Lu Ben saluted and said, "Minister Lu Ben, meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Under the golden dragon's coiled dome,

When Zhu Biao faced Lu Ben, his attitude was completely different from when he faced Jiang Xuan.

He hurriedly walked to the center and personally helped Lu Ben to say: "Behind closed doors, we are a family, and my father-in-law doesn't have to be polite." ”

"I brought you here so late, didn't disturb your rest!"

Lu Ben also said rigorously: "Tonight, the minister should be on duty in the Ministry of Officials, and he should be ordered to see the king at any time, and I also ask His Highness to show me." ”

In the next moment, Zhu Biao helped Lu Ben and sat in the guest seat next to him, the two were not only equal, but also only separated by a coffee table.

Zhu Biao said in an inquiring tone: "You are an old man in the Ministry of Officials, and the officials of the DPRK and China also respect you." ”

"I'm looking for you to come to me alone tonight, just for two things!"

"The first thing is that Ye Qing, the prefect of Ningbo, should step down soon, and I want to arrange a suitable position for him in the capital."

"The grade of this position cannot be lower than that of Congsanpin, and it is necessary to be able to give full play to his talents and learning, but also not to delay too much time."

"I want him to be Xiongying's teacher!"

Lu Ben's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, but then he regained his rigor.

Lu Ben thought for a while and said: "For the time being, the only suitable positions are the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the three official positions of Ying Tianfu Yin. ”

Zhu Biao just thought about it thoughtfully, then nodded and said, "Okay, I know what to do." ”

"This second thing is Hu Weiyong, did they mention Ye Qing in front of you, or do you know how they want to fix Ye Qing?"

Lu Ben saluted again: "Your Highness, the ministers have never been with them, they want to make friends with the ministers, but they are also rejected by the ministers, so."

After hearing this, Zhu Biao also nodded thoughtfully again.

Come to think of it, he, an old man, is notoriously rigorous, and he will never make extraneous branches, nor will he accept benefits that he should not accept.

In addition to being the secretary of the ministry, it can basically be described by the words 'deep residence and simplicity'!

Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, his few sense of existence in Lu Ben is estimated to come from the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu and the identity of the biological father of the prince's side concubine.

"Okay, I know, father-in-law should go back and rest early!"

Zhu Biao said politely.

Lu Ben saluted again: "The minister retires!" ”

But as soon as he crossed the threshold of the imperial study, he turned around and said: "Your Highness, you are the body of a daughter, the future of the country, or the body is important, don't overwork!" ”

Zhu Biao didn't answer, just smiled and nodded.

After he watched Lu Ben leave, his gaze became deep again.

"This old man is too rigorous!"

“.”

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao returned to the dragon chair and sat down, then supported his temples with his hands, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

He's so tired!

There are a lot of political affairs, and many decisions need him not to say, and he has to play with these old foxes, he is really tired!

And at this moment,

Lu Ben, who was walking on the way back to the ministry, looked in the direction of the East Palace.

At this moment, for the first time, there was an imperceptible 'fierce light' in his eyes!

Because his mind at the moment is full of Zhu Biao's sentence 'I want to let him be Xiongying's teacher'!

As soon as he heard the footsteps of the patrol guards, the fierce light in his eyes immediately dissipated, and he just went straight to the officer's headquarters.

But deep down, he could no longer be at peace.

He walked out of the palace gate, walked across the outer Wulong Bridge, and walked to the yamen of the official department on the left side of the imperial city.

When he entered his Shangshu rest room, he looked in the direction of Hu Weiyong's mansion again, and his eyes became even deeper.

Not bad

They are not with him Lu Ben, but their remarks against Ye Qing can all be conveyed to his ears.

Moreover, the time will not be too long, not even a day and night.

At this moment, on the roof of the reception hall of Hu Weiyong's Mansion, a man in black was lying on the black roof, completely integrated with the endless night.

He and Master Mao Xiang's night exploration methods are the same, they are just a little bit of the tile, that is, the distance of a black eye.

At this moment, his left eye is the 'pinhole camera' on the roof of the reception hall!

In the hall, Hu Weiyong was sitting on the top seat, and Kong Kebiao, Zhu Liangzu and others who were sitting on the chairs on both sides below, although they were all wearing robes and cloaks, could not escape Jiang Zheng's eyes.

Hu Weiyong frowned and said: "How many times have I said that there is nothing important, you are not allowed to come to the original appearance at this time." ”

Kong Kebiao said embarrassedly: "We paid special attention when we came, and no one followed us, so please rest assured that Hu Xiang." ”

Hu Weiyong just sighed lightly, and then continued to say impatiently: "If there is anything, say it quickly, you must remember that Your Majesty is not here, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is not as merciful as it seems, and it is definitely not much simpler than Your Majesty."

After Zhu Liangzu nodded, he hurriedly said: "Hu Xiang, our people heard that His Majesty went to find Ye Qing as Master Guo, but Ye Qing got on the boat and took him away. ”

"It's still taken away by confiscating the army, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it was kidnapped!"

After Hu Weiyong heard this, he was also stunned immediately, but then he didn't take it seriously.

Over the years, this kind of 'Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer', has it only happened to them once?

If it were someone else, this kind of thing would be enough to start the three clans!

But the other party is Ye Qing!

He Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to be conscripted by others, and they can't do anything!

As soon as Zhu Liangzu's voice fell, Kong Kebiao hurriedly said: "Hu Xiang, the lower official has a suggestion, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”

After Hu Weiyong heard this, he really wanted to say, 'Don't say it!' ’

But because of his status as the fifty-fifth grandson of Confucius and the hereditary Yan Shenggong (Zheng Erpin) in China, he did not dare to be unkind to Kong Kebiao.

There is no way, who calls people descendants of Confucius!

Other people's families establish a country, that is, a hereditary dynasty, and the second dynasty will not recognize it, but their family's title is different.

This second-grade 'Yan Shenggong' will always be hereditary for the descendants of Confucius, no matter which dynasty or generation, you have to politely admit it!

Hu Weiyong looked at this guy whose official position was a scholar of the Zhengwupin Hanlin Academy, but he had such a title, and he also felt deeply unfair.

Even if it is Xu Da, who has made great contributions to reunification, the title is not as valuable as his family!

Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong just said politely: "Master Kong, please speak!" ”

Kong Kebiao smiled confidently and said: "Although Your Majesty is willing to be confiscated, it is in the capacity of the profiteer Master Guo, not the emperor. ”

"As long as we go to the court tomorrow morning, let the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty know that Ye Qing will directly take the emperor away from the army, and his majesty will not kill him!"

As soon as Kong Kebiao's words fell, Zhu Liangzu echoed.

You must know that Zhu Liangzu has long hated Ye Qing's teeth, Ye Qing used the Mid-Autumn Festival to give songs to redress the grievances of the people of Fengyang, so that Huaixi Xungui's relatives who stayed in Fengyang's hometown were punished in various ways!

Just his relatives of Zhu Liangzu were beheaded three!

Zhu Liangzu and Kong Kebiao just sang and talked in harmony, and the more they talked, the more energetic they became, and the more they talked, the more they felt that this plan was feasible.

On the roof, Jiang Zhen was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he saw the two of them say this.

I have to say that if they really do this tomorrow morning, the impact on the front line will be very great.

Maybe, he can force Ye Qing to return early!

Jiang Zhen is also a soldier, and he hates this kind of stabbing in the back very much!

He never expected that this Confucian scholar in the skin of a saint would do this, and this General Zhu would do the same?

Just when Jiang Zhen was so angry that he gritted his teeth, Hu Weiyong slapped it on the armrest and stood up directly.

Hu Weiyong scolded sternly: "The prime minister warns you, you are absolutely not allowed to come." ”

"Otherwise, if you don't wait for Your Majesty to come back, you will be the first to clean you up!"

"Benxiang really hates Ye Qing, but what he is doing now is fighting for the Ming Dynasty and seeking the interests of our Han family."

"This ploy can be used to clean him up after he triumphs!"

"But now, it's absolutely not allowed!"

"Now, I only ask you to do one thing, and that is to forget the word 'Ye Qing' for the time being!"

“.”

Seeing Hu Weiyong say this, Jiang Zhen reluctantly squeezed out a faint smile.

A moment later, Jiang Xuan disappeared into the night.

Half an hour later, Jiang Zhen appeared in the imperial study again, and reported to Zhu Biao what he had seen and heard in Hu Weiyong's mansion as much as possible! .
