"Go to someone, call the prince!"

"Yes!"

When the empress commanded this, the emperor who walked out of Kunning Gate also told people to go to the crown prince in a stern tone.

was scolded by his wife today, Zhu Xianming is very angry at the moment.

Things all started because of the prince's negligence, although he couldn't do anything about the queen, he could find the prince to vent his anger.

After ordering this, Zhu Xianming was still unhappy, and the queen's words were like sharp knives, still stabbing him in the heart.

Am I really disrespectful? Am I really stubborn? Am I really mean?

At this time of extreme anger, Zhu Xianming was still reviewing himself, which shows that he does have a bit of Tang Sect's bearing.

Sometimes, people really need to be the first to take a look at themselves.

And the result of Zhu Xianming's examination is that he admits that what the queen said has a little bit of truth.

Let's say that the prince is here, after all, it is the emperor's will to be one step faster, and he was taken to the Qianqing Palace by the eunuchs.

Entering the hall and seeing his father with a gloomy face, Zhu Jingyuan hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"The son knocks to see his father!"

Thinking of the prince's panicked appearance, Zhu Xianming felt even more unhappy, so he sneered: "Is the prince sick again, why can't he even walk steadily?" ”

As soon as the emperor said this, the empress's words of scolding appeared in his mind, and it was obvious that his current behavior confirmed the empress's accusation.

"Erchen...... Erchen ......"

"I heard that you want the Jia family and the Lin family to marry?"

"I do have such ideas, but they are still being discussed!"

Idiot, Lao Tzu obviously wants to ask, you don't know how to push your subordinates?

Zhu Xianming finally endured this sentence, only to hear him continue to ask: "The Jia family is noble, and the Lin family is now a Wenchen, so can you get married?" ”

The Lin family was also a noble family before, but his family's transformation was very successful, and now it is fully integrated into the scholars.

"Yes, but ......"

It's just that this kind of thing, as long as you don't dig deeper, there is no, even if someone investigates it deeply, you can debate it in the court, after all, it depends on who is the most powerful.

But now it is the emperor who is questioning, the emperor is the most powerful person in the world, how dare the prince and his subordinates debate with him.

So at this time, he didn't know how to answer, and the hall was quiet for a while.

"If you can't, why does the prince allow it?"

"Erchen was negligent and failed to plan ahead!"

Originally, the emperor was looking for the prince to vent his anger, but seeing his weak appearance, Zhu Xianming was not interested for a while.

"Do you know that the girl of the Lin family you want to use for marriage has been taken by your thirteenth brother!"

These words made Zhu Jingyuan even more surprised, how could he ever understand these things.

I also wanted to win over the thirteenth brother and invite him to Jinling to check and balance the sixth brother, but now I married the Lin family girl to others, which is really ......

Zhu Jingyuan knew that it was wrong from the beginning, but he didn't expect that there was such a big thunder hidden.

Seeing that his father called him over to point out this matter, Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but be grateful, and secretly said that his father still had some feelings for licking calves.

"Thank you for the reminder!" Zhu Jingyuan saluted solemnly.

"Do things to plan and then act, don't panic at any time, panic is easy to get into trouble......"

At this moment, Zhu Xianming's tone also calmed down, playing the role that a father should have, which shows that the queen's words did work.

It was rare to listen to his father's earnest teachings, and Zhu Jingyuan was extremely excited, so he listened carefully and nodded at the same time.

After some teaching, Zhu Xianming also felt that it was almost over, and then let Zhu Jingyuan leave.

Fourth, fourth, can't you grow better?

Looking at the back of his son's departure, Zhu Xianming couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The sons are like this, although he admits that he is responsible, but he does not deny that the prince is indeed not successful.

However, the deeper the disappointment in the emperor's heart, the crown prince himself was unaware of it, and at the moment he even felt that the future was bright.

The sixth child was kicked out of Beijing this time, and his father mentioned his life to himself for the first time, so that Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but make a bold guess, maybe this was all paving the way for himself.

And he just walked out of Kunning Palace, and the people in the queen's palace came up, so he hurried to Kunning Palace.

When she arrived at Kunning Palace, the queen first asked Zhu Jingyuan about the situation of the saint, and she was relieved after listening to the explanation.

scolded the emperor, no matter which dynasty or generation, he was rebellious, even as his wife Yang Qingyin's heart was hanging.

Now that she learned that the emperor was not angry, her heart finally settled down.

"Don't push the marriage thing, after you go back...... Scold all those mediocre people in your house, they are just messy! ”

"Yes!"

"Let's go back!"

"My son is leaving!"

Let's say that when the prince left the palace and remembered a group of subordinate officials, he didn't get angry.

So he hurried back to his house, and then ordered his subordinates to be summoned.

There are more than 20 subordinate officials in the East Palace, but only Xu Xin'an was summoned by the prince, after all, it is not good to say this shameful thing to too many people.

"Do you know why my father summoned me today?"

Several officials looked at each other, and then heard Xu Xin'an say: "Please also ask Your Highness to make it clear!" ”

"Your Majesty learned that I want to marry the two families of Jia Lin, and reprimanded me for not abiding by the rules of the court, you can make me miserable!"

Even if you want to scold people, but a kind person like Zhu Jingyuan can only speak to such an extent at most.

No one expected that His Majesty the Emperor would react so much and be so angry about what had not happened.

They do feel strange, it stands to reason that although the civil and military marriage is not in accordance with the rules, but this kind of thing is not on the scales, and now that the matter has not happened, the court has not attacked, and there is no need to call the prince to scold.

At this time, these Donggong scholars can still think of this, which shows that they are indeed qualified political creatures.

Rules, laws, rituals, institutions...... For them, it's just a tool to use.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these things are ...... It is better to abide by the system and do your own thing! ”

The prince's words were listened to respectfully by everyone present, which made his mood slightly better.

"Yes!"

After everyone responded, Zhu Jingyuan did not let them leave, but thought about the plan in his heart.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Marriage to Jalin is not feasible, I have another way! ”

This method was come up with by him on the way back home.

After being the prince for so many years, Zhu Jingyuan rarely proposed a approach, and most of the time he let the scholars discuss, and he made the final decision.

The marriage can't be done, how to check and balance King Rui has become the top priority, and at this moment the officials are thinking about countermeasures, but they don't have the heart to listen to the prince's nonsense.

It's just that the crown prince is their lord after all, and even if they are anxious, these people have to endure it.

"Listen to Your Highness's instructions!"

"Today I learned that King Xiang is interested in the daughter of the Lin family!"

After considering the sentence, Zhu Jingyuan said slowly: "You said it before...... I can make King Xiang help me to balance King Rui, but the daughter of King Xiang's Narin family is not in accordance with the rules, and we may be able to help him achieve his wishes! ”

These situations were also learned from the conversation with the queen just now, and then Zhu Jingyuan had this bold idea.

This idea is indeed very bold, the civil and military marriage is not in accordance with the rules, and the royal family's inclusion of scholars and girls is even more unruly.

In the case of the emperor's non-interference, although the civil and military marriage is not in accordance with the rules, they can use their public opinion advantage to suppress the opposition of the Rui Wang family.

But now that the emperor is clearly opposed, the marriage cannot be done, and the East Palace has made even more unruly things, isn't this deliberately against the emperor.

Seeing that the prince was full of hope and waiting for a response, the scholars felt very uncomfortable, and secretly said that the prince was too naïve to think about things.

But this is the prince they taught, and if you can't take it, you have to take it hard.

Seeing that no one stood up to express his position, Zhu Jingyuan felt very embarrassed, so he asked again: "What do you think?" ”

"Your Highness, this plan ...... I'm afraid it's not right! Xu Xin'an carefully organized the language.

"The daughter of the Xiang Wang Narin family is a concubine, compared to Jia Lin's marriage, it is not in accordance with the rules, and now His Majesty is already angry, if the ministers mention this matter again, they are only afraid that they will ......"

Xu Xinan analyzed the stakes, and Zhu Jingyuan also thought about it on the road, and he also had his own thoughts about it.

"This time, the thirteenth brother goes to Jinling, if he completes the important task assigned by His Majesty, and has a great merit to ask the daughter of the Narin family to enter the mansion, I think His Majesty will not object too much to this matter!"

"Even if there is dissent in the court, we can help him speak and suppress those voices of arguing!"

The prince is learning from the same way, this method of oppression with power is now available.

At the same time, he also drew a good hand, and after Zhu Jinghong completed the imperial mission and completed the conditions for balancing the sixth child, the East Palace would assist him to achieve his wish.

After several officials considered it, one of them said, "So...... It's not impossible! ”

The ancestral home of the person who said this was in Zhejiang, and many relatives and friends in his family were involved in smuggling, so he expressed his position the fastest among several people at the scene.

The rest of the people also nodded one after another, so Zhu Jingyuan's eyes looked at Xu Xin'an.

Xu Qing ...... What do you think? ”

"Your Highness, although this plan is feasible, it is extremely risky, especially when Your Majesty's holy will is unpredictable......"

"If we can't do it then, we will attract the jealousy of King Xiang, and I am afraid that we will ...... Pay for one's whistle! ”

Xu Xin'an thought it out very well, because even if they helped suppress public opinion, there was no guarantee that the emperor would not personally oppose it, and it was very likely that things would not work out.

"When the time comes, I will go to the queen mother to intercede, and she will help the elderly...... If you think about it, you can do it! ”

Even if the queen is willing to intercede, whether this matter can be done or not, everyone present cannot guarantee it.

When Xu Xin'an was thinking about it, someone said: "Lord Xu, let's pass the current hurdle first, and then think about other things!" ”

Not to mention that the officials of the world are not of the same mind, even within the small group of the East Palace, the interests of the scholars are not the same.

After a few breaths, someone spoke again: "When the judgment continues to be chaotic, Lord Xu...... Let's take it one step at a time! ”

This is the first time that Zhu Jingyuan has taken the initiative to make a plan, and now he has the support of his subordinates, which gives him a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"It's okay......" Xu Xinan said reluctantly.

Hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan said: "I'll ask the thirteenth brother to come over and make an appointment with him later!" ”

"Isn't it too rushed?" Xu Xinan still has doubts.

Zhu Jingyuan immediately replied: "Without further ado, this matter of the Jia family is our strong advocacy, if we don't clarify it in time...... Offended the old thirteen, it's too late to regret! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone had nothing to say, and then Zhu Jingyuan sent someone to Xiangwang's Mansion.

On the side of Xiangwangfu, Zhu Jinghong unexpectedly received an invitation, which made him very puzzled.

"Invite me to tea? The sun is going down, what kind of tea do you drink? ”

Of course, drinking tea is an excuse, so there must be something wrong with the prince asking me to go...... Zhu Jinghong thought in his heart.

At this moment, he was sitting in the back garden with Baochai, and the latter said at this moment: "It seems that the affairs of the Jia Lin family really have something to do with the prince!" ”

"The prince is so well-informed? I just sent Deng An out, and he noticed it before I did anything? ”

For a while, Zhu Jinghong found that he had underestimated the prince, and the level of collecting news was too high.

"Could it be that you have been planted with eyes and ears around you?" Baochai's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"It's not impossible!" Zhu Jinghong's expression was solemn.

The dozen or so eunuchs who served him personally were all carefully selected by Yu Hai, and they were absolutely reliable under normal circumstances.

But neither Zhu Jinghong nor his wife can guarantee that these people are 100% reliable, after all, there is no such person in this world.

"Gotta check...... On the grounds of the theft of the Yin'an Palace, I ordered someone to investigate! Baochai frowned and said.

"You can arrange this!" Zhu Jinghong responded.

The husband and wife finalized the matter, and then Baochai reminded: "You still have to go to the East Palace and listen to what the prince has to say!" ”

"Hmm!"

Immediately, the Xiangwang Mansion began to prepare for travel, and at the same time sent people to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to report the situation.

Another half an hour later, Zhu Jinghong came to the East Palace, and his good brother had already greeted him at the second gate.

According to Zhu Jingyuan's meaning, he wanted to go directly to the gate of the East Palace to greet him, but he stopped when the scholars strongly blocked him.

"Thirteenth brother, there is good tea today, I don't dare to enjoy it exclusively for my brother, I invite you to come and evaluate it!"

Because he didn't know that Zhu Jinghong already knew the situation, Zhu Jingyuan was quite calm at the moment, thinking about turning bad things into good things today.

And the funny thing is that at this moment, Zhu Jinghong thinks that Zhu Jingyuan knows that he has made a move, and seeing that he is not ashamed to act as usual, he only said that this fourth brother has really grown up.

Walking into the second door with Zhu Jingyuan, Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "Fourth brother, you don't even know what I like, this brother is not very good!" ”

Zhu Jingyuan replied with a smile: "Actually, if you don't like it, you can try it, drinking tea and tasting tea is a science, and there are a lot of new things in it!" ”

These words made Zhu Jinghong speechless, he felt that he should retract his views just now, his four didn't seem to have grown much.

Such an obvious reminder, you still care if I drink tea or not, really when I don't have a temper?

"Fourth brother, it's just that the old man is pressing me, and you want to press me now?"

Although Zhu Jinghong was laughing when he spoke, he saw that Zhu Jingyuan's back was cold, and at this time he also realized that the situation was not quite right.

Could it be that I arranged Jia Lin's marriage and was known to the thirteenth child?

Thinking of this, Zhu Jingyuan suddenly felt like a numb, and he didn't have a calm appearance.

Zhu Jinghong looked around, there were at least thirty eunuchs and maids, how many eyeliners would there be among these people on duty in the outer house?

His eyes fell on the prince, and Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, you look like this...... If the old man knows about it, won't he have to deduct points again? ”

With a smile on his face, Zhu Jinghong said, "Fourth brother, aren't you drinking tea...... Let's not hang out here! ”

With Zhu Jinghong giving this step, Zhu Jingyuan naturally got off the donkey down the slope, raised his hand to lead the way: "What the thirteenth brother said is very true, let's go to the back garden first, and sit down and talk slowly!" ”

"Thirteenth brother, please!"

"Fourth brother, please first!"

So, the two brothers, who had different thoughts, walked together to the back garden of the East Palace.
