Xia Jingui wanted to control the Sun family, of course she wanted Baochai to give her this edict.

And she believes that if she really has this message, according to Sun Shaozu's temperament of bullying the soft and fearing the hard, she really won't dare to let go of a fart.

But Xia Jingui knew that it was impossible for her to get this edict, because she was not familiar with the princess.

"Now that my wife is in the house, there is something for the courtiers to discuss with her, why should the lady personally give an order!"

The reason why Xia Yuegui said this was actually for Baochai's consideration, and it was indeed very inappropriate for the latter to do so.

Of course, Baochai understood what she meant, so she said: "You don't have to use it when you get a warrant, just in case you need it!" ”

So what this means is that the so-called warrant will not be given to her with great fanfare, but will be granted secretly and can only be taken out at a critical moment.

This is tantamount to saying that she has given Xia Yuegui's housekeeper an insurance, and even if the government opposes her, she still has the confidence to turn the tables.

It can be seen how much Baochai trusts her.

Xia Yuegui could also feel this trust, so she didn't say anything more at this time, but responded: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness!" ”

After Xia Yuegui's matter was finished, Baochai looked at Xia Jingui.

As her gaze swept over, Xia Jingui lowered her head very consciously, looking like she was listening to the instructions.

"I heard your sister say that you have been wronged in the house?"

In fact, Xia Yuegui didn't mention it at all, but Baochai knew about the affairs of each family, so he knew a little about Xia Jingui's situation.

Hearing that the princess cared about herself, Xia Jingui was deeply surprised, and she also got up and replied carefully: "Back to my mother, my husband has a tyrannical personality, but he has made his courtiers suffer a little!" ”

"Anyway, the family still has to be harmonious, it's good for you and him!"

As the housekeeper of Xiangwang's mansion, Baochai not only has to take care of her own home, but she will also persuade her subordinates to do a few words.

In addition to the Xia family sisters who came today, when Hou Jingzhu's wives came to worship in the past, Baochai would also care about asking and enlightening a few words.

Therefore, Xia Jingui was completely excited, because Baochai's words were said by the way, and he would not really interfere in the affairs of the Sun family.

Of course, this matter is still beneficial to Xia Jingui, at least in the following conversations, she has asked for the grace of coming to see the princess from time to time.

If this goal is achieved, she will be able to "go straight to the sky" at any time, which is enough to make Sun Shaozu jealous and dare not do anything with her.

Near noon, Sun Shaozu and Xue Pan left, and Zhu Jinghong accompanied the women to lunch.

He wanted to take a rest in the afternoon, but who knew that another lord came to visit, forcing Zhu Jinghong to meet again.

The lords who came to visit were all going to the northwest to lead the troops, and they came to the Xiangwang Mansion to inquire about the situation.

Of course, these people dared to come to Xiangwang's Mansion one after another, also because the Shi family's father and son took the lead.

So in the next two days, Zhu Jinghong has been very busy.

In a blink of an eye, it came to the sixth day of the third month, which was the day when Zhu Jinghao, the king of Jinghai, got married.

The wedding process was stable and peaceful, Zhu Jinghong witnessed the younger brother's change of identity, and it was time for him to leave.

Because the holy will had been sought, on the seventh day of the first month of March, the emperor re-issued an edict, ordering Zhu Jinghong to go to Liaodong first to "investigate".

The news spread, and the court was calm and calm, but there was an uproar in the East Palace.

They originally wanted to use King Xiang to balance King Rui, but now that Zhu Jinghong is not going to Jinling but to Liaodong, there is no way to talk about this so-called checks and balances.

According to the calculation of time, Zhu Jingyuan is now almost in the right day, and he will be able to find out the situation in a month or two at most, and then he will have to take drastic measures to eradicate dissidents.

The subordinate officials of the East Palace had long been looking forward to Zhu Jinghong going to Jinling, but now Zhu Jinghong suddenly said that he would not go, which made them so anxious.

These people quickly came to Zhu Jingyuan, and after explaining the benefits, they asked the prince to come forward and invite Zhu Jinghong to the East Palace to talk.

Zhu Jingyuan also knew that the matter was urgent, and hurriedly sent someone to Xiangwang's mansion to invite him, and the messenger arrived only to know that Zhu Jinghong and his wife had entered the palace.

Knowing that Zhu Jinghong was going to meet the queen, Zhu Jingyuan led Yuan Chun with him.

The two entered Kunning Palace, and Zhu Jingyuan talked patiently for a while, and then motioned for Zhu Jinghong to go out to talk.

The two chatted for a while, and after walking out of the Kunning Gate, Zhu Jingyuan finally couldn't help but ask: "Thirteenth brother...... Why do you suddenly want to go to Liaodong? ”

The emperor would definitely not mention this matter, so Zhu Jingyuan must have meant Zhu Jinghong.

At this time, if you want to go to Liaodong, is the old thirteen unwilling to conflict with the sixth? Zhu Jingyuan had such suspicions.

This is the case with the Heavenly Family, and it is inevitable that a kind-hearted person like Rao Yizhu Jingyuan will be so suspicious.

"Fourth brother, the old man asked me to build a water division, how can I not go to Liaodong to have a look, I don't have good fruit to eat if I can't do an errand!"

Although Zhu Jinghong had his own reasons, Zhu Jingyuan said bluntly: "Thirteenth brother, did you forget to promise to be a brother?" ”

"Fourth brother is talking about Jinling?"

"Loyal and virtuous people, now they are in danger, and the fourth brother is anxious!"

When he said this, Zhu Jingyuan only felt vicious, because he knew that the so-called loyal and upright people were actually moths of the imperial court.

"I have arranged for this matter, can the fourth brother still remember the incident of Jinling's suppression of the Japanese three years ago?"

"Hmm!"

Zhu Jingyuan responded, he didn't understand Zhu Jinghong's intentions, and he didn't know what the relationship between the current situation and three years ago was.

"That day, Zheng Xianlin, He Gujin and others were as anxious as ants on a hot pot because of the deficit, but our brothers saved them!"

In fact, these people were pardoned, and the crown prince played a very important role in helping them defend themselves.

It stands to reason that these people should be grateful to the prince, but the reality is not like that.

Because Zhu Jingyuan was hesitant at the time, and it was Zhu Jinghong who spoke strongly, when the holy decree of pardon arrived, the officials were most grateful to Zhu Jinghong.

Three years have passed, and although Jinling has undergone large-scale personnel adjustments, there are still some officials who stay where they are, and those who are good have been promoted.

"These people, to this day, still remember our kindness, wait for the younger brother to take a letter of resignation...... Send fast horses to Jinling, and they will do their best to help the fourth brother! ”

"At that time, the fourth brother sent another cronie to Jinling to coordinate all parties to fight against the sixth child, and I think this matter is also easy!"

Of course, Zhu Jinghong is painting a big pie, the thing of kindness encounters interests, and it is not clear which is more important than the other, and it is completely a fool's dream to kidnap others and follow along.

Even Zhu Jingyuan himself could see this, so he asked: "Thirteenth brother, although we are kind to everyone in the matter of the day, it is not everyone's kindness, and they may not be willing to help!" ”

Zhu Jinghong replied: "Fourth brother, Zheng He and the others who are in charge of Jinling, and Jia Yucun, who is deeply valued by his father, have sent me many things in the past two years, at least the three of them are still reliable!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Jingyuan still had doubts, Zhu Jinghong continued: "Fourth brother, a few of them don't deal with the sixth brother, they are definitely willing to help us!" ”

When Lao Liu coerced Zheng He and the others to fail, he was so angry that he really made a dead hand in the court, and wanted to crush these two bastards to death.

If it weren't for Zhu Jinghong's strong advocacy to allow these two people to make meritorious contributions, they would have been dismissed and even imprisoned.

Hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan finally stopped asking, proving that he was persuaded by Zhu Jinghong.

"Then you hurry up and write a letter, and then send it to Jinling quickly!"

Finally took himself out, Zhu Jinghong was in a particularly good mood, so he smiled slightly and said: "Fourth brother, I have already arranged it, you can rest assured!" ”

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Zhu Jingyuan asked: "Then when will you return to Jinling!" ”

"I arrived in Liaodong at the beginning of April, and if it goes well, I will rush to Jinling at the end of May!"

Departing at the end of May, to Jinling almost at the end of June, Zhu Jingyuan has been in Jinling for three months.

These three months made Zhu Jingyuan feel like he was running naked.

"Thirteenth brother, don't delay too long, it's better to go to Jinling as soon as possible!"

"Fourth brother, don't worry, I'll go over as soon as possible!"

"Hmm...... What time do you leave? ”

"Departure on the ninth day of the first month!"

Today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, that is, the day after tomorrow.

patted Zhu Jinghong on the shoulder, Zhu Jingyuan said with a smile: "Come to my house tomorrow, I will personally set up a banquet to see you off!" ”

"Fourth brother, you and my brother, why do you want to be so outside!" Zhu Jinghong didn't want to go, just because he didn't want to tie up too tightly with the East Palace.

There is no way, now he is also a big family, and any gesture he shows to the outside world will be deeply interpreted by those who return to his heart in the army.

If these people think that they are still the prince's followers, it will be extremely unfavorable to Zhu Jinghong.

Hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan said solemnly: "Thirteenth brother, as an elder brother, you will see you off, how can you say that you are outside!" ”

"Then thank you, Fourth Brother!" Zhu Jinghong could only agree.

Now that the prince has been pushed to the front by him, and he is really fighting with the sixth child, Zhu Jinghong of course has to consider his feelings, so he can't brush his face too much.

The two talked for a while, and then returned to Kunning Palace, at this time Yuan Chun was discussing the affairs of the Shangyi Bureau with the queen, and Baochai was chatting quietly with Zhu Yunsheng, who entered the palace.

When the two of them entered the palace, the queen had to ask a few more questions, and when Zhu Jingyuan replied, he said by the way that he wanted to practice for Zhu Jinghong.

As soon as he heard that a banquet was going to be held, without waiting for the queen to respond, Zhu Yunsheng jumped out first.

"Fourth brother, you are so good to Brother Thirteen, and I also want to say goodbye to him...... It's a pity that I don't have my own mansion! ”

"Just when you want to set up a banquet to bid him off, my little sister will go to the meeting together, and I will also give the thirteenth brother a glass of wine at that time!"

Seeing the lively appearance of the little sister, Zhu Jingyuan unconsciously smiled, and then said with a doting face: "If you want to go out of the palace to play, just say it, why bother talking about it!" ”

"Fourth brother, you are slandering!"

After saying this, Zhu Yunsheng turned to look at Feng Wei, and then said, "Queen Mother...... The fourth brother is slanderous, and the daughter has a deep friendship with the thirteenth brother, just like ......"

"Alright, you can go if you want!" The queen made a decision directly.

"Thank you!"

"Third sister, then you are satisfied!" Baochai said with a smile.

Zhu Yunsheng's smile was sincere, and everyone present laughed along, but everyone's thoughts were different.

After another small talk, they had lunch together at the Queen's, and then they went their separate ways.

Out of Donghua Gate, after Zhu Jinghong saw off the prince and his wife, he personally helped Baochai into the carriage.

Just as he was about to follow, he heard a voice behind him: "Thirteenth Master, this is the yellow finch you were going to punish two days ago, and the little one has been caught for you!" ”

At this time, there was a hundred households standing behind Zhu Jinghong, burly with a simple smile on his face, but this person was carrying a birdcage in his hand, which was extremely incompatible with his heavy outfit, and Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but laugh.

"You bastard, I just casually mentioned it two days ago, who told you to really catch the bird!"

This person's name is Xu Guangfu, who is the boss of the Xu family that Zhu Jinghong helped before, and now he has been promoted to 100 households.

Two days ago, Zhu Jinghong went out of the palace, and a bird was passing by and threw bird droppings, which almost fell on Zhu Jinghong, when he pointed to the bird and said that he would be arrested.

was originally a casual joke, Zhu Jinghong would never have thought that the boss of the Xu family would take it seriously.

"Besides, if you catch a few birds to blame, aren't you framing a good bird!"

Xu Guangfu replied very sincerely: "Thirteenth Master, these are really the few that day, they are written under the eaves of the building on the south side of Donghua Gate, and the small ones have lifted their nests!" ”

Looking at the birdcage mentioned by the boss of the Xu family, Zhu Jinghong first shook his head, and then said, "It's really hard for you!" ”

"They will not sin unto death, and since you have confiscated their possessions, let them go."

Hearing this, Xu Guangfu did not hesitate, and immediately opened the cage and let a few birds fly out.

"Let's go back!"

"Yes!"

got into the carriage and looked at Baochai with a suspicious face, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "This guy is really interesting!" ”

The boss of the Xu family is a sincere person, and this guy has always remembered Zhu Jinghong's kindness, so Xu Guangfu has done it seven or eight times to find ways to repay his kindness like today.

Every time, Zhu Jinghong was made to cry and laugh, but he gradually recognized this guy.

So on some appropriate occasions, Zhu Jinghong praised him with Xu Guangfu's boss's boss, and higher bosses, so this guy was promoted to 100 households.

"Interesting? In such a hurry, you can also see it? Baochai was very surprised.

Zhu Jinghong replied with a smile: "He is a straight person, different from ordinary people, and he doesn't have so much thought!" ”

Baochai doesn't care about Xu Guangfu's thoughts, in her opinion, the small hundred households are insignificant, and the most important thing to care about at the moment is to seize the heir.

Lowering his voice, Baochai asked, "How did the prince react to your plan to get out of the way?" ”

"Barely convinced, but if Zheng He and the others are not effective, I am afraid that the prince will complain!"

Zhu Jinghong knew very well that he was painting cakes for the prince, and whether Zheng He and the others were willing to contribute was something he couldn't guarantee at all.

Seeing Zhu Jinghong frowning, although it was a formal occasion at the moment, Baochai still quipped: "Are you afraid that the prince will be dissatisfied, and will not help you collect Lin Ya when the time comes?" ”

"You ......" Zhu Jinghong choked for a while, but he really didn't think so.

Baochai smiled, and then said: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth...... It's useless to worry, just wait and see! ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Jinghong nodded.
