Chapter 25: The Five Elders of the Cabinet
Zhongshan.
Inside a dilapidated mountain temple.
Zhu Zhanji, who was dressed in a flying fish suit, saw the call of the old man in the chat group, got up and patted the soil behind him, and said to a deputy Qianhu: "Give me the things, you guys will stay here, I have something to go out!" β
The deputy Qianhu knew Zhu Zhanji's identity, and beckoned to a brocade-clothed guard Baihu to bring a cloth bag and hand it to Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji turned around and left with the bag.
In the past half month, he can be said to be the busiest.
During the day, no matter the wind or rain, he had to take a group of people to pretend to wander around the whole day, but in fact he was looking for everything that was contrary to common sense.
At night, in order not to fall behind in cultivation, he didn't sleep all night.
That is, he is cultivating, nourished by aura, so that his body will not collapse, but although there will be no problems physically, he will not sleep for a long time, and his energy will not be able to keep up.
But fortunately, now Zhu Zhan has also embarked on the road of cultivation, and he is just here to help him, and the two of them can just work in two shifts.
Well, the original plan was for the two immortal cultivators of the Zhu family, and the matter of surveying and recording the changes in the world was a matter for two people, but in the end, he was innocent, and Daddy Zhu Gaochi didn't care about these at all.
β¦β¦
Zhu Zhan got dressed, refused to follow the eunuch who came up with the umbrella, took the umbrella and walked towards the main courtyard.
"This old man didn't call you again, you said you were making a lot of fun up blindly!" As soon as Zhu Zhanyuan arrived in the courtyard, he heard Zhang's voice sound.
"Father, mother, third brother." Zhu Zhan entered the door and said hello.
"Okay, okay, don't nag, if I don't go, those ministers will have to kneel in front of the old man!"
Zhu Gaochi naturally couldn't tell Zhang the real reason why he went to see the old man, so he simply made one up.
Well, in fact, he really followed this heart in his heart.
The ministers who knelt in the rain were truly loyalists.
They couldn't count on the third and second children of the prison country to be sympathetic, so he could only come forward in person.
"The old man has let the second and third prisoners of the country, and everyone has kicked you away and kicked you aside, it's good, hurry up and this heart!"
Saying that, Zhang looked at Zhu Zhan and Zhu Zhan Yong who were standing on the side and said angrily: "Just go and be angry yourself, and take your son with you!" β
"Don't talk about it, Zhan Ji is not here, with these children here, the old man may be able to show some mercy to my subordinates, go quickly."
Saying that, Zhu Gaochi ignored Zhang, picked up the umbrella on the table and walked away, Zhu Zhan and Zhu Zhan Yong looked at each other and smiled.
Behind him, Zhang's hands were clasping each other, his eyes full of worry.
The husband is confined at home, the second and third are in prison, and even the eldest son is a hanger, looking unenterprising.
The entire East Palace was in a panic.
If it weren't for Zhu Gaochi's comfort, the old man would just say that he was confined, and there was no new will to be conveyed, and she was still in charge of the harem, she really couldn't hold on.
On the way to Wuyingdian.
Walking in the heavy rain, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Zhan Feng and said, "Zhan Yuan, you tell your father honestly, where are you going to put Lingtian?" β
Zhu Zhanyong, who was on the side, heard this, and also looked at Zhu Zhanrong curiously.
Zhu Zhan didn't intend to hide it from Zhu Gaochi, looked at the misty rain and mist in the distance, and said directly: "I plan to put Lingtian in the northeast of Qingning Palace, the idle palace directly east of Fengxian Palace. β
Hearing Zhu Zhanfeng's report to him, Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Isn't that Renshou Palace?" β
Insugung Palace was originally a palace for imperial concubines to live in.
However, since the Taizu period, the Ming Dynasty has never had an imperial concubine, and in addition to the queen, the highest status is only a concubine.
Well, I heard that Emperor Jianwen once named Renshou Palace as the residence of the Empress Dowager LΓΌ, and then I heard that the Empress Dowager LΓΌ moved back to Qingning Palace.
And in the old man's dynasty, there was no imperial concubine, and the highest was only a concubine, let alone the queen mother.
Because of this, Renjugung Palace has not been used in a real sense since the completion of Emperor Onto's Palace, and most of the time it is regarded as an ordinary palace.
Zhu Gaochi didn't expect this kid Zhan Yuan to hit Renshou Palace's idea.
"The fifth brother enters the first palace as the emperor's grandson, will he agree to it?" Zhu Zhanyong frowned and looked at his father Zhu Gaochi.
Da Ming, except for the imperial grandson, there is no other imperial grandson occupying a palace, even the eldest brother Zhu Zhanji is only in the imperial grandson's palace. And the Imperial Taisun Palace is also in Qingning Palace, Qingning Palace belongs to the East Palace, and the main seat is the prince!
The fifth brother wants to enter Renshou Palace, and he feels hanging.
"It doesn't matter, it's not impossible for me to live in Renshou Palace, then let my grandfather allow me to go out of the palace to live, there are many Zhuangzi on the edge of Xuanwu Lake. The scenery of that place is good, and it is good to be able to go out of the palace at any time......"
Zhu Zhanyuan said in an indifferent tone.
"Humph!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Gaochi with a light snort, "If it was before, you were just an ordinary immortal cultivator of the Zhu family, and you might be specially approved to leave the palace."
But now you are a genius, and you have been arranged by the immortals to plant the spiritual field, what an important thing the spiritual field is, and it is the foundation of my Zhu family's foothold in the future! β
"Don't say it's your grandfather, even if it's me, I won't agree to you taking Lingtian out of the palace to live!"
Looking at his resolute father Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhan Feng is not surprised.
And this is also the reason why he plans to live in Renshou Palace, not out of the palace.
"Fifth brother, why don't you change places, the emperor and grandson will open a palace alone, this is not in accordance with the rules, and grandpa may not agree." Zhu Zhanyong couldn't help but persuade.
Tsk, these three brothers are good, but they are too well-behaved.
Zhu Zhan Yong's eyes narrowed, looked at Zhu Zhan Yong and said, "The third brother's words are wrong, I just think that grandpa will definitely agree and will be willing to give me Renshou Palace." β
"Huh?" Zhu Zhanyong's little Zhengtai's face showed a touch of incomprehension, and said, "Why is the fifth brother so determined? β
"Boom!" Suddenly, at this moment, I heard a muffled thunder, and the heavy rain increased again, interrupting what Zhu Zhan Yuan wanted to say.
At this time, several people had already walked outside the Wuying Palace.
As soon as I came to the outside of the main hall, I heard a male voice full of anger, "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty doesn't see me today, then the old minister will kneel and die here!" β
After Zhu Gaochi savored Zhu Zhanfeng's determined tone just now, he glanced at his fifth child, and found that it was not simple.
The third child is intelligent, kind and simple, but too well-behaved; Lao Wu's personality is eccentric and changeable, but he sees the problem to the point. "Let's go."
"The prince is here!" Suddenly, someone saw Zhu Gaochi and couldn't help but say loudly.
For a while, hundreds of officials cast excited glances at Zhu Gaochi.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please persuade Your Majesty!" An official in a scarlet robe and holding a white ivory wat pounced directly on a hungry tiger.
hugged Zhu Gaochi's thigh, and cried and shouted: "If Your Majesty continues like this, I am afraid that the country will not be a country, and the society will be ...... Jeopardy! β
When a voice howls out, it makes a hearer sad, and the listener tears.
For a while, all the officials were in the heavy rain, kneeling in the rain to surround Zhu Gaochi, and cried one after another: "Sheji is in danger, it is dangerous......
Zhu Gaochi, who was surrounded by hundreds of officials, suddenly wrinkled his face, he was already kind-hearted and very good to these civil officials.
At this moment, he is naturally regarded as a savior by these civil officials.
He is also speechless, he knows that the old man has now regarded the cultivation of immortals as the main national policy of the Ming Dynasty.
But he didn't expect that the old man would play so big this time.
But with what he knows about his father, it's obvious that this is what he has planned.
Zhu Zhan Yong had already rushed up to this group of people, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he took the opportunity to pull the third brother Zhu Zhan Yong away from afar.
"Fifth brother, isn't it too much for us to leave our father like this." Zhu Zhanyong looked at Zhu Gaochi, who was comforting the officials in the crowd, and said dumbfoundedly.
"Don't worry, it's okay, this little scene, dad can handle it......" Saying that, Zhu Zhan Rong suddenly paused and said, "Third brother, who are those five people?" β
I saw that under the steps outside the whole hall, in the front row, there were five figures kneeling in scarlet robes and holding white elephant wats.
In the heavy rain, the five people were straight, holding elephant wat in both hands to face the main hall.
These five people were also the only ones who saw Zhu Gaochi arrive and did not pounce on them like the others.
Zhu Zhanyong followed Zhu Zhanrong's gaze.
recognized the origin of the five people at a glance, and said: "They are Hu Guang, Yang Shiqi, Jin Youzi, Hu Yan, and Yang Rong, five cabinet ministers, known as the five elders." β
