Zhu Youxiao held the poor Princess Le'an in his arms, wiped her tears, and said softly: "Hui Yuan, I haven't seen you for many days, why have you lost weight like this?"

Princess Le'an's tears fell faster, and she sobbed: "Brother Emperor, my mother always beats me, I'm afraid!"

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he said angrily to the old woman: "Why does that demon woman play Le Huiyuan?"

The old lady bowed and said: "Li Xuanzhi was still very good to the princess when she was sober, but once she got sick, she would often scold the princess for being useless, and there was no seriousness in her shots, and the slave maid stepped forward to stop her, and she would often be beaten a few times and a few punches and kicks!

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he was distressed, and said softly to Princess Le'an: "Hui Yuan, let's go with my brother, don't stay here, okay?"

Princess Le'an turned to look at Li Xuanzhi, who was still dancing wildly, and after thinking about it, she nodded silently in agreement. 1357924?6810ggggggggggdΔ 』

Zhu Youxiao had already made up his mind, and said to the old lady: "Princess Le'an, I will take it away, Li Xuanzhi will still leave it to you to take care of, remember, she is not allowed to leave this courtyard!"

After that, Zhu Youxiao hugged Princess Le'an and turned around to leave.

Who knows, Li Xuanzhi, who was originally crazy and was dancing wildly, saw that Zhu Youxiao was going to take Princess Le'an away, so he immediately rushed over and shouted: "Return my daughter, return my daughter!" Ten fingers turned into claws, and he pounced on Zhu Youxiao like a demon.

Zhu Youxiao was already afraid of Li Xuanshi, and he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. Wei Zhongxian's face changed drastically, and he rushed forward with the courage to block Li Xuanzhi's way, and pushed her to the ground with both hands.

Zhu Youxiao had already run out of the courtyard at this moment, and only stopped outside the courtyard gate and looked back with palpitations. I saw Li Xuan's servant sitting on the ground with his head scattered, crying loudly, crying and shouting: "Brother school, you are ruthless, return my daughter!"

When Li Xuanzhi raised Zhu Youxiao and the brothers before, he called Zhu Youxiao "school brother", and when he shouted this title at this time, I don't know if she is awake or still crazy.

Zhu Youxiao calmed his mind, and then said loudly: "Hui Yuan is my sister, I should treat her well, you can rest assured." She's never going to be happy if she stays with you!"

Li Xuanzhi was willing to listen, crying and crawling towards the gate of the courtyard, wanting to snatch back Princess Le'an, but the old lady couldn't hold it behind him.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly ran out of the courtyard, and the palace maids who showed surprise stopped Li Xuanzhi and dragged him back to the house, and then pulled Zhu Youxiao and left Hanlu Courtyard.

On the way to the Qing Palace, Zhu Youxiao hugged Princess Le'an and said to Wei Zhongxian with a heavy heart: "Great, Li Xuanzhi ended up like this today, just because he wanted a name." I think, it's better to give her a title for Hui Yuan's sake!"

Wei Zhongxian was reluctant in his heart, he couldn't forget the tragic scene before Wang Cairen's death, and he couldn't forget Li Xuanzhi's arrogance at that time. However, since Zhu Youxiao didn't want to pursue it anymore, he naturally had nothing to say, so he had to reply: "The Holy Mansion is kind-hearted, and he is willing to open up to Li Xuanzhi and no longer pursue the sins he has created, which can only be regarded as his lucky star and good luck!

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "That's naturally not good." I think I will obey my father's last wish and make her a concubine!"

In the harem rank of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the queen, there were also imperial concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, nobles, talents, servants, ladies and other levels. The titles of the concubines of the harem in the Ming Dynasty were: Xian, Shu, Zhuang, Jing, Hui, Shun, Kang, Ning, and there were also noble concubines, who were above the concubines. Below the concubine, there are miscellaneous palace concubines, and occasionally with the names of Jieyu, Zhaoyi, nobles, beauties, etc.

After Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he posthumously named his biological mother Wang Cairen as the queen of filial piety, and a year later named his adoptive mother Dongli Li Xuanzhi as Concubine Zhuang. After Xili Li Xuanzhi ascended the throne in Mingguangzong, he always wanted to sit on the throne of the queen, but Zhu Changluo never let go. Zhu Changluo's life was short, he died after only one month of reign, and when he was dying, Xili Li Xuanzhi coerced the prince Zhu Youxiao to ask for the title of queen, but he failed to do so under the arguments and strong opposition of Yang Lian, Liu Yijing and others. Zhu Changluo was forced to be helpless, and before he took his breath, he accepted her as a concubine.

Later, after the "palace transfer case", Xili Li Xuanzhi was sent to the cold palace, and the matter of Feng Guifei was left behind by everyone, and no one mentioned it again. Today, after seeing the crazy, miserable and desolate status quo of Xili Li Xuan's servant, Zhu Youxiao felt unbearable, so he thought about giving her the title promised by his father, just as a charity.

After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao asked Princess Le'an to be raised by Concubine Dongli Zhuang, and then took Wei Zhongxian to drive the Ciqing Palace to visit Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters.

To say that among the brothers and sisters, the closest to Zhu Youxiao is naturally Zhu Youzhen. The two are half-brothers, because Zhu Youxiao's mother Wang Cairen was forced to death by Xi Li, and soon after Zhu Youzhen's biological mother Liu Shunu was also sentenced to death by his father Zhu Changluo, the young brothers were handed over to Xi Li to raise. Under the abuse of Xili Li Xuanzhi, the two became a pair of real brothers in distress, grew up together, and their relationship was very deep.

The brothers were naturally very happy when they met, and after Zhu Youzhen asked Zhu Youzhen about the cold and warmth, he also asked about his younger brother and Gao Jie's situation, who knew that this question caused Zhu Youzhen to sigh for a while.

Zhu Youxiao was very puzzled and asked again and again, but Zhu Youxiao was hesitant and never said the reason, which made Zhu Youxiao's good students puzzled.

After Zhu Youzhen, at the instigation of Ye Xianggao, refused to help Gao Jie rescue Xu Hongru, he was always uneasy and guilty. Who knew that in just two days, Ye Xianggao changed his hexagram again, and it didn't hurt to persuade him to help Gao Jie, which made Zhu Youzhen angry and annoyed, and said secretly: "Ye Fu, no matter how you say it, you are also the number one scholar in the cabinet, how can you talk like a fart, when the wind blows, it will be tasteless, don't count?!I'm embarrassed to see Brother Jie's face now, but you came to persuade me to agree to help, then wouldn't I become a capricious villain?" After Ye Xianggao left, he was in a depressed mood and didn't know what to do.

Now seeing that the imperial brother asked, Zhu Youzhen sighed and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm not in a good mood." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "You are my dearest brother, if you need my help, just say it!"

Zhu Youzhen was moved in his heart, took his brother's hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not say what Gao Jie begged for. He had already made up his mind at this time, and since he had decided that the matter was inappropriate, he should insist on it, and he must not change his mind at will. As for the relationship with Gao Jie, let's slowly find a way to adjust and ease it in the future.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen still didn't say what he was thinking, Zhu Youxiao had to comfort him with a few gentle words, and then didn't ask any more.

On the way back to the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Zhu Youxiao frowned, thought for a long time, and asked Wei Zhongxian: "Great, you are familiar with Gao Jie's kid, do you know what happened to him and Youzhen?"

Wei Zhongxian had already prepared, and took the opportunity to hurriedly reply: "The minister knows a little about the matter between the two of them. It's just that this matter is too relevant to say!"

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he became even more urgent, and urged: "What's the big deal, hurry up!"

Wei Zhongxian made a bitter look, and was embarrassed: "His Royal Highness King Xin is not easy to speak, and the ministers are naturally even more embarrassed!"

Zhu Youxiao was so anxious that his brain hurt, he stopped the sedan chair, jumped to the ground, and pulled Wei Zhongxian into a small garden nearby.

After finding a secluded place in the garden, Zhu Youxiao let go of Wei Zhongxian's hand, stared at his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Great, there is no one else here except you and me, now you can always talk about it!"

Wei Zhongxian smiled bitterly: "What the minister is worried about is not that others will listen, but that he is worried that the saint will condemn the Marquis of Zhongyong!"

"Oh?!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "In this way, I promise you that no matter what, I will never condemn him, okay?!"

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he rubbed his hands vigorously, nodding and shaking his head for a while, which showed that the ideological struggle in his heart was very fierce.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao was anxious and angry, and pointed to the pond in the small garden where the water surface had been slightly frozen and said: "If you don't say it again, I will walk on the ice of this pond ,,, try to see if the ice is thick or not!"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly stopped and said in a loud voice: "Okay, little ancestor, you must not take such a risk casually, in case you fall into the pond and get sick from the cold, it will be troublesome! I'm afraid of you, so I'll tell you this!"

Zhu Youxiao often used similar tricks to deal with Wei Zhongxian when he was a child, and it worked repeatedly, and today he saw this trick, which was still as effective as it was immediate, and his mood suddenly improved a lot, so he enjoyed the snowy scenery in the garden while waiting to listen to Wei Zhongxian's report.

Wei Zhongxian made a look of being open-minded, and said with a bitter face: "As far as the minister knows, Marquis Zhongyong had something to ask King Xin for help before. King Shin agreed at the time, but for some reason, after a day or two, he repented, and so the two of them became so awkward. ”

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, his heart was a lot more relaxed, and he said with a smile: "It's not a big deal! ”

Wei Zhongxian was puzzled: "What the Marquis of Zhongyong asked for is too much to do, and the saint listens to it, but I am afraid that not only will he not help him, but he will also be condemned to him." ”

Zhu Youxiao heard the fame and said: "It turns out that the key is not what happened between Youzhen and Gao Jie, but what Gao Jie wanted!

Wei Zhongxian briefly reported to Zhu Youxiao that Gao Jie wanted to save Xu Hongru and his relationship with Xu Hongru.

Hearing Gao Jie's request, it turned out to be to pardon Xu Hongru, a bandit, Zhu Youxiao's face suddenly changed, becoming no longer relaxed, and he looked a little gloomy.

Wei Zhongxian observed his words, and continued: "Don't blame the Holy Lord for being loyal and brave, he doesn't understand state affairs, and he has this idea, just to repay his kindness." ”

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, nodded slowly, and said, "I understand." Gao Jie is a person who practices martial arts, attaches great importance to grievances and grievances, and I know all this. It's just that this Xu Hongru is a rebel in Shandong, and under his bewitchment, in a short period of time, hundreds of thousands of rebels have gathered to rebel, attacking cities and villages, burning and plundering everywhere, so that the lives are ruined, and his crime can be punished by the nine clans, and it is never forgivable. Come to think of it, you Jian also understood the power of this, so he refused Gao Jie's request!"

Wei Zhongxian draped a cotton robe in his hand on Zhu Youxiao's body, and said lightly: "The minister also thinks like this, but that Gao Jie still has his reason!"

Zhu Youxiao was surprised: "What other crooked reasoning does he have?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "According to Gao Jie, Xu Hongru's rebellion this time was actually forced by Wang Haoxian, the leader of the Wenxiang Sect, and he was not the mastermind!"

Zhu Youxiao was even more puzzled, and said loudly: "How is this possible, after Xu Hongru's rebellion was suppressed, the governor of Hebei played a song, and it was found that although Xu Hongru was one of the main leaders of the Wenxiang Sect, this rebellion had nothing to do with the Wenxiang Sect, and its leader Wang Haoxian did not know at this time. Moreover, I also heard that in this rebellion, Wang Haoxian also sent his subordinates to cooperate with our officers and troops!"

Wei Zhongxian smiled and said: "The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, this matter is full of strangeness! Shengshang, do you believe in Gao Jie, or do you believe in the governor of Hebei and Wang Haoxian?"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment by Wei Zhongxian's question, and only said after a while: "I don't believe anyone!

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly agreed, first sent Zhu Youxiao to the sedan chair, and only after he returned to the Qianqing Palace did he leave the palace and go to Gao Jie's mansion.

Along the way, when Wei Zhongxian thought about Gao Jie's angry appearance after learning that he was given to the emperor by himself, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile.
