Emperor Taishang had a total of eleven sons, of which only Zhu Xianming was left with three sons-in-law, and there were four surviving sons.

In terms of blood relationship alone, Zhu Xianming, who is separated by a layer, is really not too close to Zhu Xianming.

From Yizong to the current orthodox years, several royal massacres have taken place, so that Zhu Xianyun knows his position very clearly.

So at this moment he understood that the emperor was not asking for his opinion, but asking himself what to do.

And what he has to do is to say what the emperor thinks in his heart, which is the most perfect response plan.

Speculating on the will of the Divine has always been a difficult and high-risk matter.

However, Zhu Xianyun, as a cousin, mixes better than Zhu Xianming's brothers, and naturally has his advantages.

"Your Majesty, my brother thinks ...... Jing Hong is right! ”

"Japan is just a small country, compared to my face, it doesn't matter what the truth is!"

After glancing at the emperor's expression and judging that he was probably right, Zhu Xianyun continued: "So my brother thinks that the Japanese envoy does not know the etiquette of the Celestial Empire, and it is really a matter of course for the prince of the Celestial Dynasty to teach a lesson!" ”

"But I have a lot of Heavenly Empire, as long as the Japanese envoy pleads guilty, Your Majesty can also forgive them for being rude!"

What is called a rake, Zhu Xianyun's words are a vivid interpretation.

"It's ...... Somehow makes sense! Zhu Xianming nodded slightly.

Hearing this, Zhu Xianyun breathed a sigh of relief, this pass was finally passed.

Although he is a brother valued by the emperor, Zhu Xianyun also knows that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger.

If you are close to the emperor again, can Prince Li be closer to King Ying'e? The two of them are brothers of the same mother, and they have not been wiped out by the one in front of them.

Putting down the scroll, Zhu Xianming turned his head and asked, "Where did you get this painting?" ”

"It was found by the servants in the house, although the money of Huizong fell on it, I don't know how it is true or false, so I am here to ask Your Majesty to appreciate it!"

"These things...... I don't have any attainments, and I can't see my reputation for a while! ”

Zhu Xianyun hurriedly said: "Since it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, it is better for Your Majesty to keep this painting for the time being, and Your Majesty will shine with a candle...... If you look at it more, you can always see through, and the left and right ministers don't have this eyesight! ”

"How can I have time to look at these ......," Zhu Xianming casually put down the scroll.

This can make Zhu Xianyun feel extremely distressed, just because this is indeed the authentic work of Emperor Daojun, it took him 8,000 silver to get it.

After all, he didn't have the courage to use fake paintings to fool the emperor.

"Your Majesty is burdened by tens of thousands of people in China, and he worries about state affairs every day, and his ministers only feel sad when they think of it......"

"Therefore, I will find some ancient paintings and treasures for Your Majesty's pastime and entertainment to relieve your fatigue, and please accept them!"

In order to please this fourth brother, Zhu Xianyun also tried his best, and simply said it at this moment.

"Since you are so faithful, then ...... Keep it! ”

Zhu Xianyun immediately answered: "In this way, it is the blessing of this painting!" ”

Next, the two brothers discussed the painting again, and half an hour later, the Ministry of Rites came to visit, and Zhu Xianyi said goodbye and planned to leave.

"Why do you think he's here?"

Zhu Xianyun replied: "I want to come...... It's for the Japanese envoy to be beaten! ”

Zhu Xianming smiled: "What are you doing to hide it? Why don't you just say that he came to ask for sin! ”

laughed twice, Zhu Xianyun didn't say much, he really didn't want to participate too much in these things.

"You go back first, I'll talk to you when I'm free!"

"Yes...... Brother retires! Zhu Xianyun replied respectfully.

After he left, Zhu Xianming ordered someone to put away the paintings, and then the secretary of the Xuanli Department came to see him.

After a few breaths, an old man in a red official robe was led by the eunuch to the warm pavilion.

"Wechen knocks on Your Majesty!"

"Yang Qing is exempt!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Jintang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is already fifty and three this year, and he has seen a white color between his hair.

"Is there something wrong with Yang Qing?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has come to see you because you have something important to report!"

Zhu Xianming nodded and said, "Aiqing, please speak!" ”

"The Japanese envoy was beaten in the palace, I don't know if Your Majesty knows?"

"I already know about this matter, and now I am ordering someone to investigate this matter strictly!"

Yang Jintang continued: "This matter is very important, and it has spread among the envoys of various countries, and the envoys of the Zasak Khanate have also found the Ministry of Rites and made a special trip to clarify the matter!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Xianming's eyes flashed with coldness, but then disappeared without a trace.

"Zasaks? They are positive, but they don't know what they are thinking! Zhu Xianming's tone was indifferent.

"Your Majesty, no matter what they think, this matter must be handled carefully and give an explanation to the subjects of the world!"

To be honest, Yang Jintang's words made Zhu Xianming very uncomfortable.

What does it mean to give an account to the subjects of the world? Does the Celestial Empire use it to explain to the people below?

As the emperor on horseback, Zhu Xianming knew very well that the reason why the countries and the alliances surrendered was because of the strong force of the Ming Dynasty rather than benevolence.

Therefore, at any time, Da Ming must show his strength, rather than self-defeat to show weakness.

"Of course, I have to explain, but I have to wait for the matter to be clarified, I have ordered Dongchang to be responsible for this matter!"

However, these words also made Yang Jintang dissatisfied, so he said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is so inappropriate, such a major matter should be sent to the ministry to investigate, so it is fair!" ”

It was the emperor's son who beat people, and it was really inappropriate to use royal servants such as factory guards to investigate.

Zhu Xianming also realized this point, he is still as good as a stream, so he asked: "According to your meaning, how should I check?" ”

Yang Jintang said respectfully: "Your Majesty can order the Criminal Department to cooperate with the Dali Temple of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the three divisions will be judged to be fair!" ”

In this regard, Zhu Xianming did not express his position, but said leisurely: "You go back and write the excerpt, and see what the cabinet means!" ”

Since it is necessary to be fair and just, it is simply carried out to the end and adjudicated through the most formal procedure.

It's just that the ending of the plot has been decided by Zhu Xianming, and no matter what procedures are in between, it will not change.

"Obey the order!"

After Yang Jintang retreated and left, Zhu Xianming thought for a while, and then ordered someone to pass Dai Quan to meet him.

…………

Speaking of Zhu Jinghong, after he left the Qianqing Palace, he went directly back to the dormitory to rest, and ordered someone to take out the armor and sword for maintenance.

There is a private arsenal in the palace, and he is the only one, which shows how laissez-faire the emperor is to his son-in-law.

Of course, Zhu Jinghong was not really worried, so he asked Deng An to take someone to find out the news.

"Brother Thirteen, why did you skip class again today?"

Zhu Jinghao led his entourage into the courtyard, and his tone seemed very surprised.

Zhu Jinghong was also surprised, so he asked: "Didn't Mr. yesterday say that you don't have to go on vacation today?" ”

Walking to one of the pairs of armor, Zhu Jinghao reached out and touched it, his eyes full of love.

It's a pity that he is not a son-in-law, and he doesn't have a strong sense of existence in front of the emperor, so how dare he get these things to touch his head.

"Yesterday, Mr. said that you don't have to go in the morning, and you still have classes as usual in the afternoon, Brother Thirteen, you skipped class again!"

Seeing Zhu Jinghong's indifferent appearance, Zhu Jinghao reminded again: "Mr. said that he would tell his father about your skipping class!" ”

"Oh!"

Oh? That's the reaction? Zhu Jinghao felt very helpless.

He knew that Zhu Jinghong was not afraid of itching because of lice, and he really couldn't rank skipping class.
