Let's say that the two brothers came to the back garden and sat down in an attic, and several women were cooking tea in a pavilion next to them.

There was no one left and right, Zhu Jingyuan spoke: "Thirteenth brother, there is something that my brother doesn't want to hide from you, and I hope you don't blame it!" ”

"Oh? What is the fourth brother hiding from me? ”

"Today I heard from the queen mother that you are interested in the Lin family girl, is this matter serious?"

"The girl of the Lin family is beautiful and skillful, erudite and talented...... I love it! Zhu Jinghong replied without scruples.

If the prince didn't know, Zhu Jinghong wouldn't be so nervous, so his tone was much softer at this time.

I only heard Zhu Jingyuan continue: "It's all because I don't know the inside story, I pushed the marriage of the two families in the past two days, and now I know your intentions...... Marriage must not be mentioned again! ”

"There is such a thing!"

Although he was surprised on the surface, in fact, Zhu Jinghong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least this matter was not pushed by the emperor.

The fourth child didn't know what I wanted, and wanted to win over Lin Ruhai, who was about to go out to patrol Jinling, so he arranged for the marriage of the two Jia Lins......

At this moment, Zhu Jinghong figured everything out, but he still wondered why he chose Jia Huan.

Thinking of Zhu Jingyuan's style of doing things, Zhu Jinghong knew that he had not done a background check, not only did he not understand what virtues Na Jia Huan had, but he also didn't know how much Lin Yushi cared about his baby daughter.

But when he thought about it, he felt that deliberately considering these things was not quite in line with the general situation.

After all, at the moment, marriages between big families do not care about the friendship between men and women, and it is not impossible for family interests to sacrifice the happiness of their children, even if they sacrifice their lives.

"Thirteenth brother, you're right, you can't even figure out your brother's preferences, my brother is really incompetent!"

Standing up, Zhu Jinghong hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Fourth brother, the junior brother has no such intention, if there is a lie, the sky will thunder!" ”

As soon as the lie was opened, Zhu Jinghong didn't have any psychological burden at all, and the prince didn't think much about it.

After considering the sentence, Zhu Jingyuan said slowly: "It's good that the thirteenth brother doesn't blame me, but the elder brother is ashamed after all, so he wants to help you!" ”

"Help me?"

"In the past few years, the thirteenth brother has helped my brother so much, and now you have a problem...... How can you sit idly by as a brother! ”

"I wonder how the fourth brother can help me?" Zhu Jingyuan was puzzled, thinking that the prince was going to recommend him to go to the northwest, which was what he wanted to do most at the moment.

"Although the matter between you and the girl of the Lin family is not very in line with the rules, it is by no means insurmountable......

It turned out to be for this......

To be honest, Zhu Jinghong was a little disappointed, after all, Daiyu's matter was with him, and the priority was not yet ranked first.

Anyway, it's cheap to send it to the door, don't be in vain...... Zhu Jinghong thought so.

So a smile appeared on his face and he asked, "The old man doesn't allow me to be a girl from the Narin family, is there a way for the fourth brother?" ”

"Dad's concern is that he is worried that there will be criticism inside and outside the court, as long as no one talks about it...... If you go to Jinling this time to make some more contributions, I will ask the queen mother to intercede for you, and this matter will be done! ”

Zhu Jinghong agreed with the latter words, and the key to the problem is how not to provoke criticism.

Some time ago, he returned from the northwest, and even though he had made great contributions to stabilizing the frontier, there were countless pieces of impeachment against him.

If I do this unruly thing again, the court officials will not spray me to death...... Zhu Jinghong thought so.

"Fourth brother, you know that I have a bad popularity, and I have offended many people inside and outside the court, and they will not let me be satisfied!"

"Thirteenth brother, I have discussed this matter with the scholars, let them find a way to resolve the conflict!"

"How?"

"Naturally, it is moved by emotion and reason, and if there are still stubborn people who are impeached, the scholars will also gather their colleagues to defend you!"

"Fourth brother, you're not joking!"

At this moment, Zhu Jinghong suspected that the prince was talking nonsense, and many of the people who impeached him in the past two years were from the East Palace family.

These people are now trying to help him in disregard of the rules, which really makes Zhu Jinghong unbelievable.

"Thirteenth brother, how could I lie to you!"

Rubbing his chin, Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "They have never liked me, but now they are willing to help me regardless of the rules, how is this possible...... Unless there are conditions! ”

Now that the words have been said so bluntly, Zhu Jingyuan no longer hides it, and says very directly: "They do have a serious matter and need your help!" ”

"What?"

"You also know that the sixth man has always been insidious, and now he is ordered to go to Jinling, in the name of rectifying smuggling...... I don't know how many loyal and righteous people will be killed! ”

"Thirteenth brother, you will also be ordered to go to Jinling, if you can uphold justice to clarify the unjust case and rescue the framed ......"

The prince continued to speak, and after thinking about it carefully, Zhu Jinghong finally understood his intentions.

Originally, he wanted to make the sixth child unable to do anything, but now that the prince came to beg him for this matter, Zhu Jinghong happened to be a favor, and at the same time prostituted Zhu Jingyuan's help in vain.

"Fourth brother, this matter is very difficult to do......" Zhu Jinghong looked embarrassed.

When talking about conditions, if you don't seem embarrassed, then people will think that you have taken advantage, so Zhu Jinghong has to act.

"Thirteenth brother, my brother is in charge of you, you can rest assured that you can do this!"

Zhu Jinghong still shirked and said: "The sixth brother is ordered to do things, if I obstruct it...... I'm afraid that the old man will punish me! ”

"You just need to act according to the legal system, and you are blameless everywhere, and your father can't blame you!"

The prince's sentence is also very strange, the subtext is that if you do things according to the law, the people he shelters can't do it.

Thinking of the crown prince again, regardless of the rules of the court for hundreds of years, he had to help himself recruit scholars...... Zhu Jinghong found that the reality was even more absurd than he imagined.

But when he thought about it again, the person who advocated the etiquette and rules system the most was the one who launched the appeasement for decades, and the one who killed his brother and forced his father more than ten years ago.

"This ...... Fourth brother, I can only say do my best! ”

Although Zhu Jinghong agreed, he himself would not really be used as a gunman, he would still do his best not to go to Jinling, but to work by greeting the place.

In fact, he didn't expect that among the three brothers, he had the deepest roots in Jinling, so he used to be all over the Jinling civil and military offices.

"Thirteenth brother, as long as you are willing to help, this matter will be successful!" Zhu Jingyuan was overjoyed for a while.

"Fourth brother, help me with the daughter of the Narin family, don't regret it!"

With a smile on his face, Zhu Jingyuan said calmly: "Thirteenth brother, how can I ever deceive you, you can rest assured about this matter!" ”

The two brothers talked happily with each other, and at this time a woman walked in with tea, this person was dressed plainly and was very different from others, so Zhu Jinghong looked at it twice.

"Your Highnesses, please use tea!"

Seeing Zhu Jinghong staring at the girl, the prince introduced: "This is Master Miaoyu, and her tea cooking skills are a must, she has been to your house a few times before, doesn't the thirteenth brother know her?" ”

Looking at Miaoyu's beautiful and refined face, Zhu Jinghong said to Zhu Jingyuan: "Fourth brother is really blessed, there are such beauties cooking tea and serving!" ”

Hearing Zhu Jinghong's words, Miaoyu was not very happy in her heart, which hurt her self-esteem.

At this time, Zhu Jingyuan explained: "Thirteenth brother, Master Miaoyu is your sister-in-law's friend, but not a slave maid who mixes tea and pours water in the East Palace!" ”

"I see, since I am a friend of my fourth sister-in-law, that is my friend, Master Miaoyu is a profound Dharma, I want to ask you more for advice in the future!"

Miaoyu's bottom line, as well as her small movements behind her back, Zhu Jinghong is very clear.

So he was relaxed on the surface, but in fact he was full of caution against the woman in front of him.

At this time, Miaoyu spoke; "The poor nun is also going to visit the princess, and I hope that the prince will not refuse me at that time!"

Zhu Jinghong replied with a smile: "If I stop it, I'm afraid that the princess will not be able to give up!" ”

After a few idle words, Miaoyu withdrew, and then the two brothers chatted again, mainly about the details of Jinling's affairs.

In this process, Zhu Jinghong did not confess to the prince, but there were still some things agreed between the two.

While the two of them were discussing, near Ningrong Street at the other end, a sedan chair stopped in the alley, and Deng An was sitting in it at the moment.

His sedan chair was very ordinary, and it was in a relatively secluded location, so that he didn't want to be noticed.

Coming to Rongguo Mansion to inquire about the news was an errand personally assigned by Zhu Jinghong, and Deng An didn't dare to be slack, so he came in person as usual.

He was accompanied by the two eunuchs who carried the sedan chair, and three of his henchmen, who had now heard the news.

Because King Rui had been away from Beijing for two days, he had released the news blockade in Rongguo's Mansion, so now Deng An has a clear understanding of the situation.

Sure enough, the crown prince and King Rui are fighting, and they want to stir up this matter, and the stakes are too big...... Deng An thought so.

But Zhu Jinghong pressed the task and had already made a guarantee, Deng An had to get things done even if he was worried.

If you want to mess things up, there is only one way for him to come, and that is to get rid of that Jia Huan, so that he can't participate in the marriage.

"Half-dead or ......"

At this time, the people were still listening to the news, and Deng An was already thinking about how to complete the task.

After sitting in the sedan chair for too long, he also felt so stuffy that he couldn't think about the problem, so Deng An got out of the sedan chair and paced outside.

Because he was deliberately dressed up, Deng An looked similar to Luo Tuoxun's noble son, and he was not conspicuous at all near Ningrong Street.

Deng An thought about what to do next, so he paced back and forth in the alley, and finally walked from the end of the alley to the end of the alley.

But at this moment, a young man came to him, followed by seven or eight servants.

This person is Jia Huan, and he is in a very bad mood at the moment, because Jia Zheng suddenly told him that his marriage to the girl of the Lin family is over.

That's right, just forget it.

Today, Aunt Zhao is showing off everywhere, and when she meets people, she says that Brother Huan'er is out of luck and is going to marry a girl from the Lin family.

And Jia Huan has also shown off to the outside world many times that his wife will be Lin Daiyu.

It is precisely because of the high adjustment that once the marriage ends without a problem, Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao will become the laughing stock of the house.

It was with this thought that Jia Huan was in a very bad mood at this time, and he couldn't even save such a beautiful thing as taunting Baoyu, so he ran out because he didn't want to listen to ridicule.

was in a bad mood, and there were still people who didn't give way without long eyes, and Jia Huan's heart was even bigger.

Seeing that this person was dressed ordinarily, and he didn't even have an entourage, Jia Huan kicked him directly.

"Blind your dog's eye!"

Then, Deng An suffered a heavy blow, and one was kicked to the ground without noticing.

Just as he was about to raise his head and scold angrily, he was spit on his face, and scolded at the same time: "What do you see? Itchy skin? ”

Seeing these people leaving directly, Deng An asked angrily, "Who is so rampant?" ”

"Rongguo Mansion, Second Master Huan!"

Rongguo Mansion, Huan Erye...... Deng An immediately clarified the identity of this person, and there was a cold glint in his eyes.

Zhu Jinghong asked him to stir up Huang Jialin's marriage, and before that, he was afraid that Jia Huan was the younger brother of the crown princess, and he was thinking about how to grasp the proportions.

was insulted by Jia Huan today, and his mentality changed under anger, and he even had the heart to kill Jia Huan at this time.

Wiping the saliva from his face with his sleeve, looking at Jia Huan, who had disappeared at the mouth of the alley, Deng An muttered in a low voice: "The crown princess's brother Jia Zhen can be killed, and her brother Jia Baoyu can also be deposed......"

"What's the matter if you kill a concubine!"

Just as he was thinking about this, the two eunuchs who carried the sedan chair who found that something was wrong also rushed to Deng An's side at this moment.

"Father-in-law, are you alright?"

The two of them were chatting just now, and they were separated from Deng An, and it was normal that they didn't find the situation, but they blamed Deng An for going too far.

Deng An was angry at this time, and he didn't care about those there, so he slapped him out with two hands.

"Rubbish, idiot!"

After being beaten, the two eunuchs didn't even dare to raise their heads, and one of them hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, let's chase after it, otherwise the thieves will run away!" ”

"Chase a fart, can you still chase it?" Deng An reprimanded.

But in fact, he can really catch up, but Deng An doesn't think of a head-on conflict, after all, there are many ways for him to take revenge.

Trying to calm himself down, Deng An returned to sit in the sedan chair, waiting for his subordinates to come back to summarize the news, and then went back to the palace to make an errand.

It's a pity that he waited for a new piece of news, that is, the marriage of the two families of Jia Lin was shelved.

The matter that was agreed on in the afternoon was reported to the Jia family before it was dark, and even the people knew about it, which shows that the execution of the East Palace is not bad.

This is good news for Zhu Jinghong, but not for Deng An.

The marriage is gone, how can I deal with Jia Huan...... Deng An felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Deng An didn't dare to delay too much, urging the eunuchs to carry him to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Deng An did not delay at all, and hurriedly went to Yin'an Palace.

At this time, in the Yin'an Palace, Zhu Jinghong also came back from the East Palace, and explained to Baochai the reason for the matter and the proposal of the East Palace.

Things have developed like this, which really makes Baochai laugh.

The matter was over, so Baochai asked, "So Jinling, do you go or not?" ”

Zhu Jinghong replied: "If you can't go, you won't go!" ”

"If you don't go...... Zheng He and the others, as well as Najia Yucun, can obey orders wholeheartedly? ”

"Even if you don't obey your orders, with me and the prince backing you, they can always do something, so that I and the prince can make a deal!"

"If things are not done, the prince will also give you a job and will not contribute, and you will be disappointed if you hold the beauty!"

Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "It's okay to be disappointed, anyway, Lin Ya is less than fifteen, and I'm not too anxious!" ”

"There is always a time for girls to be in Xuren!"

Zhu Jinghong said indifferently: "Then I'll stir her up again!" ”

Baochai had nothing to say, and at this time, Deng An was told to meet outside.

"I already know what I should know, so I won't listen to you say it again, it just so happens that there are still some things on my side!" Baochai's face was tired.

Since she became pregnant, she has not had enough energy, so she is more tired than ever.

"Don't get too tired!" Zhu Jinghong got up to send him off.

"Know...... The prince stays! ”

After Baochai left, Deng An walked in cautiously, and he had already thought about what to say.
