Just when Zhong Qing was puzzled, four maids walked out of the hall in the courtyard, all of them were twenty-eight years old, and they were still childish, Zhong Qing looked at these maids, and he was even more misty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"This is the second highness specially prepared for the middle girl's personal maid, the palace life is different from the outside, I am afraid that the girl is not used to eating and living, so I arranged these maids, don't look at their young age, but all of them are smart and clever, and they will definitely serve thoughtfully. The accompanying eunuch said with a smile on his face.

If you are someone else, in the face of the reward of the emperor's son today, you will either be grateful or afraid to accept it, but Zhong Qing is not comparable to ordinary women, although her heart is also full of doubts, but after thinking about it for a while, she accepted it gladly.

"It's useless, but it's rare for the second prince to be so thoughtful, if Zhong Qing is a girl in the rivers and lakes who doesn't accept it, wouldn't it be too ignorant, just ask the two to tell the second prince that Zhong Qing, this little girl, really has nothing to do except for the evil spirit of her body, so that the second prince doesn't have to work too hard. Zhong Qing said with a smile.

The two eunuchs were still smiling, Nuo Nuo continued to speak, and then withdrew one after another, leaving Zhong Qing alone, facing the huge courtyard mansion and the four little maids, and the doubts in their hearts were difficult to dissipate for a long time.

But the person who was even more restless at this time was Ye Cheng, who finally suffered until dawn, thinking that he was going to see his father Zhu Di this time, how to face him, he was in a dilemma.

The time when Zhu Di and Ye Cheng and Zheng He met was Shen Shi, the reason why this was so was because in the earlier time of the Shang Dynasty, Zhu Di asked Chen Zuyi and others to make a decision, although she already had the answer in her heart, but she still wanted to listen to the opinions of the hundred officials.

In this court meeting, the "black-clothed prime minister" Monk Daoyan, Chen Yuanhui of Taichang Temple, Chen Ying, the left deputy governor of the Imperial Palace, Xie Jin, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, were in class, and everyone knew more or less about the topic of today's court meeting, so they were waiting for Zhu Di to speak first.

"Listed as Aiqing, since I ascended the throne, the Central Plains is peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people are rich, which can be described as a scene of grand events. Only the northern Mongolia and overseas islands, the evil heart is not dead, always want to disturb the world, endanger the temple, this time relying on the power of General Zheng He, has leveled Chongming, the Three Buddha Islands in one fell swoop. Among them, Chen Zuyi, the owner of the Three Buddha Islands, is a giant thief at sea, and he has been captured. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was you look at me, I looked at you, and no one was willing to speak first without touching the emperor's intentions.

Only the monk Daoyan didn't care about these, he took the lead in coughing, bowed and said: "Emperor Qi, the thief leader Chen Zuyi has been rampant overseas for many years, often burning and looting the people along the coast, which is a great crime, this time the poor monk heard that even if Zheng He led the king to the island, Chen Zuyi still wanted to trap the beast and fight, he really did not repent, so the wicked person must be killed, so that he could set an example, let the people of the four seas feel at ease, and let the thieves in the mountains and wilderness return to the wind." ”

"Oh, do monks also advocate murder? Isn't it that the monks are merciful and should not be moved to kill?" Zhu Di saw that Monk Daoyan spoke first, wanting to tease this old friend for many years.

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, but the monks are more divided into good and evil, and the so-called elimination of evil is exhausted, and evil cannot be punished, how can good be promoted? If you have mercy on such jackals, isn't it the greatest cruelty to the innocent people?" said Monk Daoyan slowly.

This faction of rhetoric was sonorous and powerful, reasonable, and couldn't help but make Zhu Di admire it very much, and then he turned to everyone and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?"

"Chen Zuyi deserves to be punished, naturally there is no problem, it's just ......," Chen Ying said suddenly on the side.

"Just what?" Zhu Di asked.

"Minister...... The minister didn't dare to say," Chen Ying said.

"Chen Aiqing doesn't have to worry, but it doesn't matter, what are you afraid of here?" Zhu Di urged.

Seeing this, Chen Ying hurriedly knelt down and said, "It's just that as far as the minister knows, Zheng He not only recovered Sanfo Island this time, captured Cangming City, captured Chen Zuyi alive, but also ...... A large amount of gold has also been confiscated, which is said to be enough to cover the treasury income of our Ming Dynasty for fifteen years!"

"There is such a thing!" Zhu Di was also shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't help but quickly change his mind in his heart, why did Zheng He not tell himself about such an important matter during the banquet, and no one told him afterwards?

"If what the minister says is false, he is willing to cut off the head of this master!" and ......" Chen Ying knows the way of speaking, and if she wants to arouse the appetite of others, she must want to talk about it when she is critical.

"And what? Come on, if there is anything to hide, the widow will ask you!" Zhu Di shouted.

"And on the gold, it is said that there is also engraved handwriting, as if it is entrusted by someone, the matter of loyalty to the eight words, although the minister is dull, but he just thinks that if he kills Chen Zuyi at this moment, where does this gold come from, and who is entrusted by this thief, there is no way to find out? The minister does not know who will be more beneficial if Chen Zuyi dies, and the minister does not know whether all this gold is already all? The minister does not know, what does the person who wants Chen Zuyi die so soon?" Chen Ying said slowly.

Sometimes it's not just the sword that kills, and vicious words are more terrible than sharp swords.

Chen Ying's words are like this, every word of his is like a sharp sword, the sword stabs at Dao Yan and his beloved disciple Zheng He, but it is such a righteous appearance, as if his questions are all for the Ming Dynasty, and his questions are also asking instead of Zhu Di.

Even Zhu Di, who had seen countless winds and waves, could not avoid a trace of waves in his heart at this moment, fifteen years of treasury revenue! What a huge number, Chen Ying's words could not be fully believed, but his doubts were not completely unreasonable. But Zhu Di is a generation of heroes after all, and he won't be unable to hold back because of Chen Ying's few words, and immediately the nerves on his face just beat and added, and then quickly returned to calm.

The person who is calmer than him is Dao Yan.

At this time, the sound could be heard as if a silver needle had fallen from the entire silent hall, and all the hundred officials looked at Dao Yan with their spare eyes, but at this time, Dao Yan not only did not speak, but raised his hands and slowly applauded.

"How are you doing?" asked Chen Ying with a strange roll of her eyes.

"Lord Chen's story is so wonderful, can't the poor monk applaud and encourage him?" said Dao Yan with a smile.

"Master Dao Yan said that what I am telling is a story, so I have to ask for advice below, but how true is this story? If it is all true, it is not just a story, but a fact!" Chen Ying said loudly.

"That's right, Master Chen is meticulous in his observations, and what he said is not bad at all, but he ignores a point. Dao Yan said calmly.

"What?" Chen Ying wondered.

"Ignoring that if there really is so much gold, or more than Zheng He brought, then why did he have to travel all the way to bring some back, wouldn't it be better to find a desert island to bury first? Is it to remind the emperor that Zheng He is already rich and rivals the country?" Dao Yan suddenly asked.

"This ......" Chen Ying thought that this analysis was enough to embarrass Dao Yan, but she didn't expect to be refuted by Dao Yan again, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Alright, don't argue. I have made up my mind, tomorrow I will parade Chen Zuyi on the street and behead him immediately at noon!" Zhu Di suddenly stood up from the dragon chair and said in a low voice.
