The specifications of the Heart Hall are second only to the Carrier Hall, and choosing to summon Li Hui here also shows the importance attached to him.

Under the guidance of the eunuchs, Li Hui finally came to the outside of the Cunxin Hall after passing through several major gates.

Every time he came to Daming, Li Hui had different gains, but all what he saw and heard made him have an idea, that is, Daming is too powerful.

At this time, his strongest feeling was that this King Xiang was too grand and extravagant, and his mansion in North Korea seemed simple in comparison.

"Even if the palace is only a little bigger, it can't compare to the exquisite ...... of this palace."

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, the big tomorrow Wei Hehe, you are really a frog at the bottom of the well, you are dizzy......"

"Mencius has clouds, but the heavens do not take it, but suffer from it...... You can't blame me! ”

Standing in front of the hall and waiting, Li Hui's inner drama was very much, and then the expression on his face kept changing.

After waiting in place for a while, another eunuch finally came out of the hall, it was Zhu Jinghong's close attendant eunuch Yu Hai.

"Mingchuan-kun, please enter the palace!"

Finally about to see King Xiang, Li Hui was both nervous and looking forward to it at the moment, and quickly went over what he wanted to say in his mind.

Following Yu Hai into the hall and looking at the majestic main hall, Li Hui couldn't help but feel envious, and secretly said that it would be good if he had such a regulation of the palace.

"Mingchuan-kun, please!"

Yu Hai continued to lead the way, leading Li Hui from the main hall to the side hall, but unfortunately there was still no one inside.

"Mingchuan-kun will be there later, the prince will be here soon!"

After saying this, Yu Hai retreated outside the hall, while Li Hui waited quietly.

After about ten seconds, Li Hui heard the footsteps again, so he boldly raised his head to look at the place where the sound came from.

The next moment, I saw a man wearing a gray moire round-necked robe and a net scarf appear in front of me.

Zhu Jinghong's outfit has to be looked at closely to see the clues, understand how ingenious it is, and turn the extremely delicate fabric into ordinary.

So at first glance, what he is wearing at the moment really looks ordinary.

Of course, no matter how gorgeous the clothes are, they can't cover the light of Zhu Jinghong himself.

For example, at this moment, Li Hui was intimidated by Zhu Jinghong's momentum, unconsciously bowed his head and bent over, and then bowed: "Foreign Minister Li Hui, meet Your Highness!" ”

is also a prince, and with such a bearing, he is much stronger than his father and brother...... Li Hui thought so.

Let's talk about Zhu Jinghong, glanced at Li Hui, who looked submissive, and he went straight to the direction of the main seat.

After sitting down, Zhu Jinghong said: "No need to be polite! ”

"Your Highness!"

Waving his hand, Zhu Jinghong motioned for Li Hui to sit down, and the latter came to sit down next to him with great caution.

"This time I came from afar, and I worked the road!"

Li Hui, who had just sat down, hurriedly got up and replied respectfully: "It is really an honor for the foreign ministers to go to the Celestial Empire to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, how dare you say bitterness!" ”

Motioning for Li Hui to sit down again, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "Compared with last time, now your official words are getting better and better!" ”

Li Hui was worried about how to stir up the topic, and when he heard this, he suddenly had a solution.

"Since the founding of the country, all of my people in Korea have admired the Ming Dynasty, and they have all taught the people with the learning of the sages, whether it is the royal family, the two classes or even ordinary people, they have always practiced the Ming Dynasty's writing, law, and art ......."

"The foreign minister is reckless and shallow, and he will have to work harder in the future!"

"Just ......"

When Li Hui was talking, there was such a sudden turn of events, which made Zhu Jinghong realize that this guy had a plan.

So he was vigilant and said very vigorously: "Just how? ”

"Alas...... Don't be afraid of His Highness's jokes, my brother Wang has other ideas about this! ”

At this time, Brother Wang was pulled out, obviously it was the "heir" of those bad things, it seems that this kid is also restless...... Thinking of this, Zhu Jinghong smiled.

But he was still very "considerate" and asked, "Brother Lingwang, what does he think?" ”

"I don't know who was bewitched, Brother Wang actually complained a lot about the Ming script, and once said that he would make a dictionary of North Korea's own!"

"Not only that, but I also heard Brother Wang personally say that after all, North Korea is different from the Ming Dynasty, and the laws of the Ming Dynasty may not be fully applicable, and a system of rules and regulations that is consistent with the national conditions of my North Korea should be formulated!"

"Are these true, or are they rumors you're listening to?" Zhu Jinghong asked calmly.

"Your Highness, these two classes in Seoul know that how dare the foreign ministers make random arrangements!" Li Hui replied very solemnly.

North Korea, a small country, obviously has a tendency to be restless, but Nanzhen Fusi did not report it.

But thinking of the case that broke out in the first half of the year, Nansi's people were involved in the military arms resale case, and it seemed normal that the situation was not reported.

It has been more than 300 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the two divisions of Jinyiwei in the north and south have existed for almost so long, and the problems that have developed are also very amazing.

Not only them, but also Dongchang.

Although each generation of emperors will rectify the domestic slaves, the so-called "accumulated heavy and difficult to return" will return to the old path in a few years.

Zhu Jinghong continued to listen to Li Hui's narration, which made him very interested in Li Xuan, the son of North Korea.

After talking about North Korea and saying everything he wanted to say, Li Hui mentioned the matter of gold very interestingly.

"Your Highness, this time the minister came to Beijing and brought the remaining two thousand taels, and now they are in the accompanying carriage, what do you think should be done?"

Hearing Li Hui's words, Yu Hai, who was serving on the side, was very disdainful, and secretly said that this North Korean was too ignorant of the rules.

How can you say it so directly about the money, saying that you have prepared some special gifts?

Zhu Jinghong snorted, and then replied: "I don't care about these things, just leave them to them!" ”

"Yes!"

Next, Zhu Jinghong and Li Hui chatted about trivial matters again, and the two got along more and more harmoniously.

It was at this time that Zhu Jinghong knew that Li Hui had made a marriage with the Cui family, and he was going to get married after the year, and the bride was Cui Xiuqing, who had run for the Xiangwang Mansion.

Objectively speaking, although the Cui family is a local family in North Korea, although the Cui family once saved Li Hui's life, it is not unusual to want to marry his daughter into the royal family.

can be valued by the royal family entirely because Li Hui values Cui Xiuqing and believes that this excellent woman will be his virtuous wife.

Li Xuan, the son of North Korea, had some ideas, but he didn't know who gave him the courage......

Was he bewitched by the Japanese Okamoto family? Or did you get the promise of the Rakshasa Kingdom? Or is it simply that Li Xuan doesn't know the height of the sky? Or is it both?

Now that the imperial court is piloting the construction of a sailor division in Liaodong, it may come in handy in the turmoil that this incident may cause......

After sending Li Hui away, Zhu Jinghong thought a lot for a while.

The Holy Birthday Festival is approaching in two days, and it is not the time to discuss these things, so Zhu Jinghong will not explain it to the emperor for the time being.

He nested in the mansion like this, either to talk to Zhen Qin Yinglian, or to talk to Keqing and them about life.

Time flies, and soon it is October 18, which is the day of Holy Birthday.

As in the past, the Holy Birthday Festival was held extraordinarily grandly, and the Emperor Taishang, who was already sick, still appeared to accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials and envoys, and once again performed the drama of fatherly filial piety with Zhu Xianming.

In fact, this Holy Birthday Festival, the performance of father's filial piety is the key, whether it is between the emperor and the emperor, or between the prince Rui and the emperor.

Zhu Jinghong didn't participate in these, and now he is the focus wherever he goes, so he naturally doesn't want to get involved in these things anymore.

So after the end of the court, Zhu Jinghong led Baochai to the queen's Kunning Palace.

They can't leave the palace for the time being, and he may be able to push off the state banquet in the afternoon, but it is inconvenient for him to refrain from the royal family banquet tonight.

In Kunning Palace, Zhu Jinghong sat under the queen's phoenix seat, and was looking carefully at the teacup at the moment.

The teacup is naturally a first-class tribute, but it is impossible to stare at it all the time, the reason is that Zhu Jinghong is too boring.

Because at this time, Baochai was chatting with the queen about the gossip in the city, which noble and young family was discovered, and which official's mansion was investigated by Jinyiwei......

Just these meaningless contents, Baochai said that it was called an eyebrow dance, and Zhu Jinghong was drowsy when he heard it.

At this moment, Daiyu quietly walked into the main hall, saluted the queen and came behind Zhu Jinghong.

"Thirteenth Master, princess, please come over!"

"She called me over? She should have come to see me! ”

Although he expressed dissatisfaction, Zhu Jinghong still got up from the chair, and he was uncomfortable staying here for a second longer.

"Mother, Sheng'er told me to go!"

"There you go!" Yang Qingyin answered, and then looked at Baochai.

After walking out of the main hall of Kunning Palace, Zhu Jinghong's footsteps slowed down, so that Daiyu, who was following closely, almost bumped into him.

Turning around and looking at Daiyu, who was slightly cramped, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "Lin girl, I haven't seen you for half a year, and you have grown a lot taller!" ”

Now is the "alone" time with Zhu Jinghong, Daiyu is very happy in her heart, she has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"But it's only the thirteenth master, it only took half a year, and his reputation has spread all over the world!"

The person in front of him has the ability to stabilize the country, Daiyu is very respectful, and his expression unconsciously shows admiration.

This point was seen by Zhu Jinghong, so he took two steps closer, and then asked in a low voice: "As the so-called beauty matches heroes, since I am such a hero, are you willing to accompany me, girl?" ”

Hearing this, Daiyu suddenly straightened her face, and said in an unkind tone: "Thirteenth Master, please respect yourself, such frivolous words should not be said in your mouth!" ”

The reserved nature that a girl should have made Daiyu have to respond like this, but in fact, she was very happy in her heart.

Zhu Jinghong was interested in her, and even Zijuan could see it, how could she not be aware of it.

"The Book of Poetry is cloudy, my fair lady and gentleman are good, I just follow the pre-Qin gentleman, how can I say that my words are frivolous?"

"As you say, the music of the piano and the music of the bell and drum has also become an obscene means?"

Although Zhu Jinghong's words are crooked, there is some truth in the crooked reason, which gives this day a reason to continue talking.

I only heard Daiyu say: "The Thirteenth Master boasts that he doesn't read, but he finds these arguments from the Book of Poetry, but if he doesn't make a sound, he has already made a splash!" ”

"However, time has changed, and the ancient gentleman may not be the current gentleman, just as the current etiquette system is different from the ancient etiquette system!"

"The thirteenth master speaks frivolously, but he forcibly calls it a gentleman's trip, how is it different from covering his ears and stealing the bell?"

"What the little woman said, the thirteenth master is a hero who is known all over the world, and now it seems to be an exaggeration!"

Listening to this little girl crackling and talking a lot, Zhu Jinghong had to sigh with emotion, and then asked, "How can you exaggerate?"

Don't look over her head at the corridor, Daiyu raised her eyebrows and said, "At least the thirteenth master is frivolous, and he is not a hero!" ”

"Hahaha...... You girl is really sharp-toothed! ”

Hearing Zhu Jinghong's words, Daiyu was like a victorious general, and glanced at Zhu Jinghong very arrogantly.

However, the next moment, I saw Zhu Jinghong suddenly take a step forward, leaned over to Daiyu's eyes, and asked softly: "Girl, you are so disrespectful, and you will commit a crime...... Aren't you afraid that I'll punish you? ””

"If you fight with a weak woman with me, the Thirteenth Master will only ruin his prestige and laugh at the world...... Isn't it because of a small loss! ”

Between answers, Daiyu hurriedly took two steps back, for fear that Zhu Jinghong would make an excessively aggressive move.

Zhu Jinghong said with his hands behind his back: "What a big hero and a hero, this is all you talking about, I have never said that I am a hero!" ”

"So...... I'm not afraid of the world's ridicule! ”

Not to mention, Zhu Jinghong is too famous now, and he really wants to do something to divert the attention of the officials in Beijing.

Being treated as a hero by officials every day is not a good thing for him at the moment.

So, at this moment, he really has a motive to do something to Daiyu.

However, looking at the clear eyes of the girl in front of him, Zhu Jinghong still couldn't help but not make a move.

Just because he understands that Daiyu and Zhen Qin are very different, and taking the right approach to Zhen Qin to Daiyu is likely to turn into a tragedy in the end.

"Okay...... I said why I haven't been back for so long, so you are whispering here! ”

"I'll take it!"

Xiangyun suddenly came out of the corner, looking excited to discover the big secret, but it made Daiyu, who was originally calm, extremely weak-hearted, and wanted to escape for a while.

"Yun girl, we just discussed knowledge, how can we say that it is a whisper!" Zhu Jinghong said righteously.

"Discuss knowledge?" Xiangyun looked unconvinced.

Walking in front of Daiyu, Xiangyun Fox asked, "Sister Lin, what kind of knowledge are you discussing with the Thirteenth Master?" ”

"Regarding the content of the Book of Songs, I will argue with him as a gentleman!"

It's just a matter of being caught "currently", and now she has to lie in front of Xiangyun, which is undoubtedly a great challenge for Daiyu, and her education does not allow her to do so at all.

But she still said this calmly, so she hid Xiangyun from her.

"Don't delay any longer, princess, she's in a hurry!"

"She's still in a hurry? Then let her come to me! Zhu Jinghong had an indifferent attitude.

He could actually guess Zhu Yunsheng's purpose, to put it bluntly, he wanted to go out of the palace to play, and Zhu Jinghong didn't really want to help with this.

can think that only in this way can he get Daiyu Xiangyun to his side, and he has to wade through this troubled water.

"Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as her, let's go...... See her go! ”

After saying this, Zhu Jinghong immediately walked forward, and then Xiangyun pulled Daiyu to follow.

Besides, in the main hall of Kunning Palace, after chatting with the queen and gossiping, Baochai finally found an opportunity to ask: "Queen Mother, I don't know how Sister Ting is doing now?" ”

In the past two days, she has not seen Yang Jingting when she entered the palace, and she has sent people to inquire in private and has no news, but now she finally can't help but ask.

Putting down the teacup, Yang Qingyin said indifferently: "Although her illness has improved a little, but now she is a mystery to her mind, and she needs to be quietly cultivated next, I have sent her to the Jade Emperor Palace!" ”

The Jade Emperor Hall in the mouth of the queen is the royal Taoist temple located in the northwest corner of the forbidden city, which is a female cultivator who prayed for the blessings of the previous emperors.

Being sent here to recuperate is tantamount to announcing Yang Jingting's social death, unless the queen decrees that she will never come out again.

"The queen mother, the palace can also be recuperated, it is better to ......"

Baochai said this sentence at the moment, on the one hand, out of the need for performance, but also did have a bit of sincerity.

It was this half-truthful attitude that made the queen believe that she was soft-hearted, and she had a heart to defend her.

Then I heard the queen say: "Her illness can't be cured in your palace, and she has to be taken care of by the gods, so you don't have to worry about it!" ”

"But ......"

"Okay, I already have a claim on this matter, you don't have to say more!"

Yang Qingyin took out the posture of the queen, and Baochai naturally stopped talking, she felt that she had done her best.

So Baochai changed the topic and talked about Zhu Yunsheng.

Zhu Yunsheng will be fourteen years old next year, although the woman is fifteen and married, the matter of choosing a horse should also be put on the agenda, so Baochai talked about it.

The range of choice of horses is generally the nobles of Jingzhong, and the second son who does not inherit the title.

Of course, after marrying the princess, the second son of the princess became the title of the second rank of the princess, which is equivalent to a first-class viscount.
