Chapter 457: The Storm Has Started
Orthodox twelfth year, March 25.
This is the tenth day after Zhu Jinghong fell into the water, and his "cultivation" has also come to an end, on this day he led Baochai into the palace.
Entering the palace with them, there were also Zhu Yunsheng and a few others, and their semi-free-range life was about to end.
In the past few days, Zhu Jinghong has gone to look for Daiyu a few times, but this girl either avoids it, or goes to a crowded place, so that Zhu Jinghong almost can't think about it.
Of course, he himself enjoys this feeling of imminent detachment, but Daiyu who suffers from self-internal friction.
Everyone entered the palace together, Zhu Jinghong went to Qianqing Palace, and Baochai led Zhu Yunsheng and his party to Kunning Palace.
Let's say that Zhu Jinghong arrived at the Qianqing Palace, and Emperor Zhu Xianming was looking through the recital, and what he was holding in his hand was the impeachment of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division.
As an official of the Ming Dynasty, it is extremely normal to be impeached, and even people like Wang Pei'an, who have no black spots, have been drowned in a large number of bullet stamps before.
It's just that the content of the impeachment this time is very different, and it is related to the loss of the ordnance of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division two years ago.
Coincidentally, that time it was the King of Beijing, Shui Rong, who was ordered to inspect the matter, and he personally dealt with this matter.
At that time, the result of the water-soluble treatment was that one of the commanders of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division was dismissed, the two commanders of Fushunwei were beheaded, and the commanders were dismissed from their posts and their homes were raided; The commander of Liao Haiwei and a commander were beheaded.
It stands to reason that the matter should have ended, but now the impeachment of the Liaodong Patrol Imperial History has dug up this old matter.
The group of people who were inspected and investigated by Shui Rong before were mainly reselling ordnance to the Jurchen ministries, and this time the impeachment of Yushi was Jiulianwei and Xin'anwei, and these people went to North Korea to operate the ordnance.
Zhu Xianming could see that this bullet was aimed at the Liaodong Prefecture on the surface, but the actual goal was to rectify the water dissolution and finally involve the prince.
However, Zhu Xianming will not tolerate the resale of ordnance in any case, so he must strictly investigate this matter.
So he immediately issued three edicts, first of all, to order Jinyi Wei Liaodong Qianhu to strictly investigate, and at the same time let Nanzhen Fusi secretly investigate in North Korea, and finally let Dongchang send a team of people over.
Coupled with the imperial history of the Liaodong Patrol Army, which originally tracked down this matter, there were a total of four people to investigate this matter.
"Sixth, this kid, he really has some means!" Zhu Xianming sighed in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, someone outside came to report, saying that His Royal Highness King Xiang had come to visit.
"Call him in!"
After a few breaths, Zhu Jinghong walked in.
Although the person is still the same person, Zhu Xianming feels that he has changed a little, which is similar to the change after returning from a trip to Jinling.
"The son knocks to see his father!" Zhu Jinghong saluted solemnly.
was so polite and polite, Zhu Xianming was a little unaccustomed to it, but he just signaled him to get up with an "um".
"All right?"
"It's all right!"
"Hmm!" Zhu Xianming nodded, and the child who was too polite didn't know what to say.
"Dad, my son wants to go to the northwest with the North Four Guards, you see this matter......"
"You're making such a fuss, can I still let you not go?"
"Thank you, thank you, Dad...... You're busy, your son is leaving! Zhu Jinghong saluted and turned around to leave.
"You're leaving?"
"You have agreed to everything, I still stay here to do something, and my son is still in a hurry to say goodbye to his mother!"
It means that you came to me to ask for advice...... Zhu Xianming's face darkened.
But just as he wanted to say something, Zhu Jinghong had already moved away numbly, so that Zhu Xianming had no chance to scold.
"This bastard!" After scolding with a smile, Zhu Xianming picked up the next piece.
After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Jinghong went straight to Kunning Palace, and at this moment Baochai was talking back to the queen, and Zhu Yunsheng was standing nervously on the side.
It turned out that the content of the question was about Zhu Yunsheng's schoolwork, and the queen blamed Baochai for not strictly supervising it.
In this regard, Baochai was helpless, and could only honestly bear the queen's anger.
Fortunately, Zhu Jinghong's presence diverted the queen's attention and prevented Baochai from continuing to be questioned.
"My son has said hello to you!" Zhu Jinghong bowed solemnly.
"Hurry up, you're feeling better?" Yang Qingyin said with concern, for fear that his son would hurt his knees when he knelt.
"My son has been well for a long time, and I planned to enter the palace to greet you a few days ago, but Baochai had to let me raise it for a few more days, for fear that my son would ......"
Zhu Jinghong chattered, although he was complaining about Baochai, but the queen was extremely satisfied when she heard it.
"Your daughter-in-law cares about you, you kid don't know what to do!" The queen feigned anger.
"Yes...... Son don't say it! Zhu Jinghong shut up at the right time.
"Sheng'er is in your house and has lived these days...... I fell behind a lot of schoolwork, and you didn't care about it as a brother? ”
"Mother, you are confused...... I'm like this, how can I manage Sheng'er! Zhu Jinghong argued.
The queen then counted a few more words, and then went to the point and said, "I plan to give you the piano girl!" ”
Zhen Qin wants to enter the palace, even if the queen doesn't say anything about this matter, Zhu Jinghong will take the initiative to bring it up.
"What you did, you bullied other girls...... You have to treat her well in the future! Yang Qingyin reminded with a serious expression.
"Mother, my son did those foolish things, it's not my fault alone!" Zhu Jinghong muttered in a low voice, but the voice was just enough for the queen to hear.
"What do you mean, boy?" Yang Qingyin straightened her face, she knew that this kid was ordering herself.
"Queen Mother, the daughter-in-law is to blame for this matter, and she failed to take care of those things in the inner house, and the prince should blame her!" Baochai took the blame on herself.
Yang Qingyin didn't want to delve into this matter, so she said: "Live a good life in the future, don't make any more trouble!" ”
The queen knew the grievances between the crown prince and King Rui at the moment, and this matter was enough to annoy her, so she said this.
Zhu Jinghong is just playing with a child's temper, but these two brothers are really doing it, and the severity of the problem is much higher.
Everyone was talking, and in the east hall of Kunning Palace, Daiyu was sitting alone on the edge of the bed, weeping.
Yesterday, she saw Zhen Qin and learned that she was about to enter the palace, so she didn't sleep well all night.
She also wanted to be with Zhu Jinghong, but this matter was full of difficulties, and there was no possibility of realizing it.
On the one hand, she was embarrassed to face Baochai, and on the other hand, she couldn't convince her father.
According to the imperial court system, the daughter of a Jinshi cannot be a clan wife, and Lin Ruhai is from Tanhualang, so she does not meet this article in the first place.
Secondly, as a Qingliu official, if he sent his daughter to King Zong, the spittle of civil officials and doctors could drown him.
"Girl...... If you can't say something you can't say, you might as well let the slave tell you! ”
"You've been holding it in your heart like this, how can you get it!" The worry in Zijuan's eyes was palpable.
Daiyu twisted her face to the side and said, "How can you understand my difficulties!" ”
Who knew that Zijuan said bluntly: "Is it for His Royal Highness King Xiang?" ”
Good guy, this sentence pierced Daiyu's heart, making her subconsciously look left and right, for fear of being heard by outsiders.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Daiyu looked at Zijuan angrily.
"Girl, I see that His Royal Highness King Xiang is also interested in you, so why don't you let me ...... with him"
didn't wait for Zijuan to finish speaking, he heard Daiyu reprimand: "You are talking nonsense again, the Thirteenth Master has a deep love for Sister Bao, and he does not hesitate to disobey the saint and Niangniang for her, how can there be other women in his eyes!" ”
If Zhu Jinghong knew that he was so dedicated in Daiyu's eyes, he would be ashamed.
Different from Daiyu's sadness, Zhen Qin in Ningshou Palace can be described as happy, and even Concubine Zhen reminded her several times to restrain herself.
"According to my meaning, I didn't plan to let you enter the royal family, but when the time comes, I will let you go out of the palace and ask your father to find you a good family!"
Of course, this was not Concubine Zhen's initial idea, but it was transformed after being mentioned by the Emperor.
"After entering the door of King Xiang's Mansion, you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, and don't put your mind on the surface again!"
"Got it!" Zhen Qin replied seriously.
Here, Concubine Zhen continued to mention, until the people from Kunning Palace came to invite, and she reluctantly let her niece and granddaughter go.
Outside the Ningshou Gate, watching Zhen Qin being led away by the people of Kunning Palace, Concubine Zhen's eyes were soaked with tears.
Hui sighed and returned to Ningshou Palace, at this time, the decoction had just been boiled, and it was personally sent to the Emperor by Concubine Zhen.
The Emperor Taishang is too old to be good, most of the time he basks in the sun under the corridor, and he rarely speaks on weekdays, even in the face of Concubine Zhen.
But today, seeing that his wife was unhappy, he still took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Sitting on the brocade stool beside Zhu Xinkan, Concubine Zhen picked up the spoon and said, "The Qin girl entered the Xiangwang Mansion, and I was still a little worried about her!" ”
"Don't worry about ......"
Swallowing the decoction fed by Concubine Zhen, Zhu Xinkan swallowed it and said, "Don't look at Xiao Thirteen rude, but ...... He's a good boy, and he's still kind at heart! ”
At this moment, there was no one left and right, and Concubine Zhen couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, the concubines really don't understand, why are there ...... among the emperors and grandchildren Why are you so kind to King Xiang? ”
Glancing at his wife, Zhu Xinkan said slowly: "I said it...... He's a good boy! ”
"The concubine still doesn't understand!"
"After the incident, he was the only one who erected a grave for his cousins......"
"Tatetsuka?"
Although these two words were said in her mouth, what Concubine Zhen thought of in her heart was the fate of Zhu Jinghong's cousins.
The Emperor Taishang was thousands of miles away that day, and as a favorite concubine, she was in the harem, and the heirs of Prince Li and King Ying'e were a little desperate and hid in the harem.
Therefore, Concubine Zhen saw with her own eyes that Yi Weisi and Long Guards, who were originally guarding the royal family, captured the royal grandchildren like piglets, and finally all the nobles were executed these days.
In the days before the matter was resolved peacefully, Concubine Zhen, who lived in the harem, was worried every day, and was awakened by nightmares many times in midnight dreams.
"yes...... It was a few small mounds that he built with his hands at the corner of the palace wall, and I didn't live in Ningshou Palace at that time, and I happened to like it when I was walking! ”
In the two months when Zhu Xianming was the crown prince, Zhu Xinkan still lived in the Qianqing Palace, and his personal freedom was not restricted too much, unlike when he could only stay in Ningshou Palace.
"How old was he then?" Concubine Zhen was surprised.
"About...... Four or five years old, I can't remember! ”
"No wonder, no wonder!"
The two emperors here were chatting, and Zhen Qin on the other side had arrived at Kunning Palace.
Zhen Qin, who was originally lively and active, couldn't help but be a lot more shy when he entered the hall at this time, so that Zhu Jinghong was a little surprised.
"Qin girl, you will go out of the palace today, and then the Shangyi Bureau will come to the mansion to announce it!"
"Obey the mother's orders!"
Zhen Qin bowed calmly, this was the most urban moment in her life, and she could suppress her joy and not show it.
"Old Thirteen ......"
"My son is here!"
"Don't bully the piano girl in the future!" Yang Qingyin said slowly.
Zhu Jinghong said very directly: "My son never bullies people!" ”
Then Yang Qingyin looked at Baochai again and ordered: "Baochai, the Qin girl acts impulsively, you should take care of her more in the future!" ”
"The daughter-in-law and Sister Qin have a very good relationship, so they should take more care of her!" Baochai replied solemnly.
The queen's special order for this matter is actually compensation for Zhen Qin, after all, her own son is really ridiculous this time.
Then the queen ordered a lot of things, and finally left Zhu Jinghong and the others for lunch before letting them go out of the palace.
There was one less person beside her, and Zhu Yunsheng returned to the dormitory empty, until she saw Daiyu Xiangyun, she felt better.
"The princess is back!" Xiangyun was the first to greet him, and then Daiyu also followed.
"Alas......" Zhu Yunsheng sighed.
"Princess, what's wrong?" Xiangyun asked.
Zhu Yunsheng replied: "There is one less person in our palace!" ”
"From now on, the three of us will depend on each other!" Zhu Yunsheng clenched Xiangyun's hand.
Xiangyun persuaded: "Sister Qin got what she wanted, the princess should be happy for her, not to mention that she is not going back to Jinling, she can still see it in the future, why should the princess be sad about this!" ”
After nodding slightly, looking at Daiyu, who had not spoken, Zhu Yunsheng couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with Sister Lin?" ”
"It's nothing, there is sand in my eyes, just rub it!" Daiyu replied.
"If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me!" Zhu Yunsheng said very solemnly.
"It's just sad and sad, princess, don't worry too much!" Daiyu flatly denied it.
Let's say that Zhen Qin was led back to Xiangwang's mansion, and Baochai immediately gathered everyone in the mansion to prepare to meet the queen's decree.
If it was really a matter of the front and back, the slaves and maids of the Xiangwang Mansion had just arrived, and the female officials of the Shangyi Bureau also came over.
The decree was outside the Heart Palace, Zhen Qin took the decree with excitement, and almost cried with joy when she couldn't control her emotions.
And she also became the first attendant in the Xiangwang Mansion, above the concubine under the side concubine.
Immediately afterwards, Baochai introduced Zhen Qin to the servants in the house and instructed everyone to serve wholeheartedly in the future.
After finishing these things, Baochai Fang led Zhen Qin back to Tongxin Hall and introduced Yang Jingting and Keqing.
Zhen Qin all knew these people present, but now that her identity is different, everyone has to get to know her again.
After some talking, Zhen Qin came to his residence, which was the Lanyue Garden on the southeast side of the Yin'an Palace.
At this time, the maid was still cleaning this place again, so Zhen Qin could only stay in the courtyard temporarily, looking at the place where she would live for a long time next.
Compared with the east hall of Kunning Palace, this place is obviously much more spacious, and Zhen Qin can decorate it as he likes.
"I'm going to put flowers over there, what kind of flowers?"
"I'll put whatever the Thirteenth Master likes!"
"Plant a piece of bamboo over there, and then plant a ...... over there"
Zhen Qin was working on the manuscript here, but someone came to report that Concubine Yang was here.
Yang Jingting is a side concubine, even if Zhen Qin acts informally, she also knows that she has to go out to greet her at this time.
During this time in Ningshou Palace, Concubine Zhen did not teach her how to do things, so Zhen Qin has grown greatly recently.
"Sister Ting!"
"Sister Qin, congratulations!" Yang Jingting smiled.
Yang Jingting is really happy, because with the arrival of Zhen Qin, she at least has someone who can speak.
In the palace house, Keqing and Yinglian are only close to Baochai, so Yang Jingting has always been very lonely.
"Thank you, Sister Ting!"
stepped forward to take Zhen Qin's hand, Yang Jingting said with a smile: "Now that I have got what I wanted, I should really celebrate, I am already preparing a banquet over there, let's go over together later!" ”
"Thank you, Sister Ting!" Zhen Qin said very solemnly, she was indeed moved.
"Huh...... What are you thankful for, we're good sisters! Yang Jingting took Zhen Qin into her arms.
Now I'm still a waiter, and being a good sister to her is always a head shorter...... Zhen Qin thought so.
