Chapter 61: An undercurrent surging
"The emperor has arrived!"
With the roll call of the imperial eunuch, Zhu Youxiao walked into the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, and there was no Wei Zhongxian or Wang Tiqian behind him.
Princess Ningde, who had been waiting for a long time, bowed down to greet her: "Ningde has seen Your Majesty!" ”
"Don't see the courtesy, what to see with the imperial brother," Zhu Youxiao has always cared for his sister, when his grandfather was in power, his father lived tremblingly every day, and he didn't know when the position of the prince would not be guaranteed, so these emperors and grandchildren naturally did not have a few days of stable life, and they shared hardships, so in their hearts, they were naturally more emotional.
"Brother Huang, Ningde brought candied osmanthus cakes, and the queen's sister said it was delicious after tasting it," Princess Ningde's crescent-like eyes curled up, and she said with a smile: "I specially brought it here for Your Majesty to taste." ”
"My sister's craftsmanship is naturally not bad," Zhu Youxiao was not in a good mood just now, he was sulking in his stomach, he just vented, and now he sees his sister again, and he is a little relieved.
It's still the family that makes themselves worry-free!
Pick up a piece of pastry from the food box, fill it in your mouth, and then chew it carefully, a not strong, but fragrant and fresh osmanthus fragrance soaks the mouth, and then the sweetness of candied fruit, from the tip of the tongue, bringing people a wonderful taste.
"It's really delicious," Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "The cook in the imperial dining room is far worse than my royal sister!" ”
"The imperial brother is just in the palace, why are you so angry?" Princess Ningde blinked with a pair of big eyes and looked at Zhu Youxiao.
"It's not ...... yet" As soon as Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth, he took back the words he was about to blurt out, but laughed embarrassedly twice: "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”
"Isn't it related, what about Wang Qi?" Princess Ningde made a cup of tea and brought it to Zhu Youxiao.
"Don't listen to the nonsense of those minions in the palace," Zhu Youxiao frowned, took the tea, and put it back on the table as soon as it reached his lips.
Zhu Youxiao felt irritable in his heart, the rules in the palace should really be rectified!
Princess Ningde stretched out her little tongue and licked her lips, and said with a smile: "My sister heard that Wang Qi wants to be Ban Dingyuan......"
"Do you also know the story of Dingyuanhou?" Zhu Youxiao sat on the soft collapse and looked at his sister-in-law.
"Not only that, but I also know Emperor Han Ming," Princess Ningde tilted her head and smiled, looking at Zhu Youxiao: "But my brother is no worse than Emperor Han Ming!" ”
Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, looked at his sister-in-law, and then laughed.
Everyone says how Wang Qi is, regardless of his merits and demerits, whether he is pampered and arrogant or meritorious, but in general, there is always an evaluation that seems to be Ban Dingyuan back then, as if no one has said that Zhu Youxiao can be Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty!
"Sister, your evaluation is novel," Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and smiled, in a good mood, and picked up another piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Brother Huang, after Wang Qi comes back from the grassland, can you let me see him first?" Princess Ningde obviously wanted to take a preventive shot, so as to prevent Zhu Youxiao from being unable to bear the pressure at that time, and put Wang Qi directly into prison!
"Don't worry," Zhu Youxiao looked at his sister-in-law, and said slowly: "Brother Huang, I'm not too stupid!" ”
The emperor talks about things, and it is not the turn of the courtiers to make irresponsible remarks!
At this moment, Wei Zhongxian bowed down and walked in from outside the hall, approached Zhu Youxiao and whispered in his ear: There are students in Guozijian who are making trouble, and they gather outside the palace gate to denounce Wang Qi......
"How many?" Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled.
"About thirty people, all of them are the sons of the Guozijian in the capital," Wei Zhongxian is not yet in the time when his power is monstrous, and he has no courage to directly kill the students who made trouble in the Guozijian without going through the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and he feels that it is better to consult Zhu Youxiao first.
"What about the Cabinet?" Zhu Youxiao continued to ask.
"Only Sun Chengzong and Zhu Guozuo are on duty, and the rest of them all say that they are sick at home," Wei Zhongxian immediately returned: "And those scholars did not pay attention to the dissuasion of Lord Sun and Lord Zhu, but knelt outside the palace gate collectively, which has attracted the people of Beijing to watch......"
Hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Zhu Youxiao had not yet made any moves, and Princess Ningde on the side had already frowned, her pretty face was full of anger, the concubine of the Ming Dynasty was born and died in the Horqin Mongolian grassland, these scholars who read sage books and ate royal meals did not educate the people and give advice to the country, but instead came to drag back, claiming to send their own father-in-law to prison?
"What a vain reading of so many sage books!" Although Princess Ningde is not very old, she reads a lot, and likes to listen to the stories told by the palace maids, but she has never been interested in the stories of talented and beautiful women, but likes to write from Rong's Ban Dingyuan and Xin Youan.
Therefore, for the father-in-law who has never met, Princess Ningde has already painted a vivid portrait in her heart.
Zhenwu Fort beheaded the rebellion, Siping Fort hit Hu Chen, and went to the royal court with a weak crown, but was rebellious by the thief.
In Princess Ningde's heart, this is not a proper male protagonist image?!
"Where is the Guozi priest wine Yang Xu?" On the other side, Zhu Youxiao's face had sunk.
Donglin is accustomed to using his prestige in Shilin to make public opinion fall to him, and make the opponent fall into a situation of passive scolding, and for these young scholars, Zhu Youxiao can not easily use Jinyiwei or Dongchang, once the courtiers seize the opportunity, then all the attacks on Wang Qi now will turn to attack the celebrant and the emperor.
In any case, behind Wang Qi, in fact, standing is him Zhu Youxiao.
On this point, the Donglin Party has always seen it clearly.
"I just broke my leg this morning, and I can't get out of bed," Wei Zhongxian replied quickly, thinking that he had already sent someone to find Yang Xu.
"What a good time to fall!" Zhu Youxiao sneered and stood up, he wanted to see, if he insisted on protecting Wang Qi, what would these courtiers do to treat him as the emperor?
"Draft, convene the ministers of the cabinet, the six ministers, the Lang officials, the middle of the matter, the inspectors, etc., and after half an hour, go to the Wenhua Hall to discuss matters! I'm waiting for them! Zhu Youxiao flicked his sleeves, walked out, walked to the door of the main hall and turned around, stretched out his hand and pointed at Wei Zhongxian: "In addition, you go and tell Yang Xu that within an hour, if those scholars outside the noon gate don't leave, he, Yang Xu, will go to the edict prison to live with us for a month!" ”
"Yes!" Wei Zhongxian did what he wanted.
Zhu Youxiao took the little eunuch waiting outside the door to go to the Wenhua Hall to prepare.
"Brother Huang, wait for me!" Seeing this, Princess Ningde immediately followed.
"Ningde," Zhu Youxiao stopped when he heard the voice, and said gently: "I want to go to the Wenhua Hall to see the foreign ministers, you can't follow it." ”
"I want to hear what high-sounding reasons those literati used to attack him!" Zhu Huiyan stretched out her tongue mischievously, looked at the imperial brother's serious expression, and said coquettishly: "I'll just sit behind the screen, and I promise not to make a sound!" ”
