Jinyi champion

Forbidden City, Renshou Palace.When Queen Mother Zhang heard about her stepson Zhu Si, she still put on a condescending attitude when they met.

"My son sees the Queen Mother." Although Zhu Si was very reluctant, he still respectfully saluted in front of Queen Mother Zhang. Just as Zhu Hao said to him before, a good man does not suffer immediate losses.

When his own strength is obviously not as good as that of Queen Mother Zhang, and he may be deposed by Queen Mother Zhang and his courtiers at any time, he can only give in first and deal with it slowly later.

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Emperor, why did you attack the two uncles? No matter what they say, they can be regarded as your close relatives. Their blood is thicker than water, and they supported you on the throne and made great contributions. How can you let them take responsibility?" Woolen cloth?

"Zhu Sidao: "Mother, my son didn't punish them, it was all because of the fault of employing others, but he just let them stay at home and think about their mistakes.

The laws of the Ming Dynasty should not be biased just because they are uncles of the country. Empress Dowager Zhang was a little angry: "But I heard that you not only issued a foot-stop order to them, but also sealed up the coal mine under their name. Is this a preparation for you to start mining?"

If you do this, will you be suspected of abolishing the public for private reasons? "Zhu Si leaned over and said: "I do want to open mines, but I won't invade the mines of the two uncles, but because the captured arsonist was instructed by the people in the green forest who helped the uncle guard the coal mine, after careful inspection, we found two A large number of missing persons were imprisoned in the coal mine of an uncle of the country, involving crimes such as abduction and trafficking of women and children, and a large number of unidentified corpses were found in some mines.

"Isn't it okay to ask Jin Yiwei to investigate for such a woman who committed crimes? As for unblocking the coal mine, it will happen naturally after the investigation is made.

"Really?" Although the Empress Dowager Zhang does not think that human trafficking is a serious crime, it is unreasonable not to investigate the dead. In this way, Zhu Si has a reason, and there seems to be no problem in sealing up the coal mine. She is not good as a mother. On the spot.

Zhu Si continued: "I don't plan to delve into this matter, I have already allocated money from the inner government to repair the Qingning Palace that was on fire.

"Repair? No need, it's good for me to live here! You...you have to remember the support of the two uncles."

well!Even if your elder brother messed up again, he never did anything to his family, so you can't be ungrateful.

"Empress Dowager Zhang finally said to Zhu Si almost in the form of advice.Zhu Si thought to himself, you all know that my cheap brother is messing around, why don't you take good care of him?

Your own son and your two younger brothers are naturally blood thicker than water, but I have only a nominal uncle and nephew relationship with them, why should I treat them kindly?
Punishment as a female criminal!Zhu Si cupped his hands: "Son, remember!" Then Zhu Si resigned.Seeing Zhu Si leave, Empress Dowager Zhang sighed, and said to the little eunuch standing beside her, "Go, call the Chief of Rites, Xiao Jing.

"The little eunuch said: "The Empress Dowager, Eunuch Xiao, the supervisor of ceremonies, left the palace yesterday and is not in the palace now.

"What?" Empress Dowager Zhang frowned, Xiao Jing was fined to leave the palace to live idle?Does that mean that the emperor knew the secret behind the arson case?
Empress Dowager Zhang immediately asked: "Then who is the admiral Dongchang eunuch?" The little eunuch replied: "I don't know.

"Because Xiao Jing was kicked out of the palace just now, the personnel aspect didn't keep up for a while, and even if Zhu Si had a candidate, he wouldn't make it public immediately.

Empress Dowager Zhang raised her hand and slapped the armrest of the phoenix chair fiercely: "This emperor is becoming more and more arrogant, Xiao Jing is also considered an old man in the palace, how can he be dismissed so easily?

I really didn't take Aijia seriously! "The little eunuch dared not speak.But in fact, Xiao Jing was originally Zhu Si's reactivation, used to appease the old people in the palace, and acted as a tool man.

But now Xiao Jing is obviously at odds with the emperor, and the position of admiral Dongchang eunuch is high and powerful. The emperor must not keep Xiao Jing by his side forever. Taking this opportunity, no matter whether the arson is related to Xiao Jing or not, he will always be driven away. Go, put on a confidant.

After Zhu Si met Queen Mother Zhang, he was in a bad mood, but when he left the palace to see Zhu Hao, his spirits cheered up.

"I finally let that old godmother suffer! Hmph, she wanted to intercede for her two younger brothers, but I sent her back. Let's see how her two younger brothers will bully others in the future!

"Zhu Si looked relieved.Zhu Hao could tell that Zhu Si was proud on the surface, but in fact his heart was full of grief and indignation, and there was even a trace of fear.

In the palace, if he was set on fire, he would set it on fire, and most of the twenty-four prisons including the Shangshan Supervisor were under the control of Queen Mother Zhang. What if the Queen Mother was dissatisfied and poisoned him?
What if there were palace guards who murdered him?As the emperor, Zhu Si was alone in the palace, and there were big bosses like Yang Tinghe in the court who kept putting pressure on him, saying that it would be easy to walk on thin ice, and the most feared thing was to be poisoned by others.

This mentality is actually a good thing for Zhu Hao.The more Zhu Si was worried about being murdered, the more he would trust the people around him, especially someone like Zhu Hao who had saved Zhu Si many times, was regarded as a lucky star by him, and could entrust important matters to him.

Zhu Haodao: "For the time being, we still need to establish a good relationship with Queen Mother Zhang. As for the canonization of the Queen Mother, we may have to suspend it for a while.

"Zhu Si was a little angry: "Now that I have caught the person who set the fire and learned of their plot, do I still want to give up the canonization of my mother?"
Wouldn't I let them get their wish? "Obviously Zhu Si was not reconciled.But because of fear, or because he couldn't save face, he wanted to give up, but he felt that since he had predicted everything like a god and exposed the enemy's conspiracy, why should he act according to the enemy's wishes?
Zhu Hao said: "This is an expedient measure, it is not appropriate to fight to the death at such a time, if you don't take this step back, then the enemy's next move may be even more unpredictable.

And the best time for His Majesty to confer canonization is after the most staunch opponents of His Majesty in the court have left." Zhu Si asked: "You mean old man Yang is going to be an official?

"Yes." Zhu Hao nodded.What Zhu Hao wanted Zhu Si to guard against was not simply Queen Mother Zhang.Empress Dowager Zhang lived in the deep palace and had few disputes with Zhu Hao.

However, it must be Yang Tinghe and the civil official group represented by him who had a direct conflict with Zhu Hao, and even an interest dispute, so Zhu Hao wanted to involve the civil servants in this matter.

Zhu Haodao: "It is precisely because of the civil servants' insistence on the succession of the grand ceremony that some people have evil intentions and dare to set fire in the inner courtyard of the palace, and their purpose is just to use this fire to make His Majesty feel that everything is wrong. God's will, force His Majesty to take a step back.

"Since they dared to use this trick, it shows that they have the heart of disobedience. At this time, we should first stand in an invincible position, let Your Majesty win the support of neutral forces in the court, and let the world know that Your Majesty is not A narrow-minded emperor, but a wise king with the world in mind and a well-founded advance and retreat!
"Zhu Hao put a bunch of high hats on Zhu Si.Zhang Zuo on the side was stunned when he heard it. Originally, he thought that Zhu Hao's attempt to persuade the new emperor to stop would definitely fail.

But now, after hearing Zhu Hao's long speech, he immediately made a judgment, and Zhu Si should listen to it.After all, Zhu Hao gave the new emperor a step down, and it was indeed not appropriate to confront Maimang at such a time, causing his side to lose the initiative.

Zhu Si was a little depressed: "Originally, I was not prepared to agree, but since Zhu Hao said that you can buy people's hearts, then I will listen to you.

Sooner or later, I will let my mother become the real empress dowager of Ming Dynasty, and no one can stop her! " Zhu Hao said with a smile: "This is for sure.

"The first lunar month has not yet come to the Lantern Festival, and Tang Yin is about to embark on a trip to the West Mountain to mine.Tang Yin didn't want to go at all.

Before leaving, Zhu Hao also persuaded him to be careful: "Sir, you can come back in half a month at most. After all, you are the host. You don't need to go to the battle in person. I have asked Jiang Rong to be responsible for the mining. I believe he can help you. Help!
"Zhu Hao activated Jiang Rong this time.Although Jiang Rong is Jiang Lun's son and will inherit the title in the future, it does not affect his work for the court. Only those who can do things can occupy a place in the forces of the Xing Palace in the future and win the respect of others. The government is in power.

Tang Yin didn't say anything, took the carriage and left under the escort of Jin Yiwei.Zhu Hao was about to go back, but found Lou Suzhen's carriage parked aside, obviously Lou Suzhen also came to see him off, but he didn't have the nerve to show up.

"Why are you here, madam?" Zhu Hao walked over and asked with a smile.Lou Suzhen was dressed in men's clothing, her eyebrows were thickened on purpose, and a beard was pasted under her chin. Obviously, she was afraid of showing her true face and being recognized by others, so she tried to disguise herself as much as possible.

Lou Suzhen forced a smile.Some things are unclear, probably she also felt that the relationship with Tang Yin was inseparable, if Tang Yin went to Xishan and did not return for a long time, then the relationship between the two would be difficult to define.

Zhu Hao took Lou Suzhen to the nearest restaurant. It was not until noon and there were no customers.The two sat down on the inner side of the second floor. It was very cold in the first month, and Lou Suzhen was dressed a little thinly. Looking at her pale face, she seemed not quite used to the extreme cold weather in the north.

"Madam is sick?" Zhu Hao asked.Lou Suzhen managed to force a smile, but couldn't help coughing twice: "It's too cold in the north, and I get wind and cold as soon as winter comes, and it hasn't changed for several years.

"When Lou Suzhen was in Nanchang, she was not a delicate canary, her body was not weak, but after experiencing the life and death of her family, and the ups and downs of the north, and the acclimatization of the environment, her physical fitness plummeted.

It is now her third winter in the capital, but she is still not used to the severe cold, and she will catch a cold if she is not careful in winter.

Zhu Hao sighed: "I don't get used to it in the north, but life has to go on. In fact, I have been trying to figure out what the relationship between Mr. and Mrs. is really hard to figure out. I don't know when Mrs. can really become my mistress. ?
"When Lou Suzhen heard this, no matter how good her mood was, she couldn't help but her cheeks glowed, and her expression became cramped.

"My lord, don't laugh." Lou Suzhen lowered her head and said.Zhu Hao said: "It may be that Mr. Tang was lonely for half his life, and when he got old, he became less courageous and dared not reveal his feelings. In fact, I hope that you can stay together and grow old together.

In addition, the wife's wife is Miss Sun's family. I have nothing to do at home recently. I plan to send it to you. You can teach her something. How about helping you with things?

"My Madam," Lou Suzhen originally wanted to say, you, the wife of a court official, would actually come out to show your face?

But when the words came to his lips, Lou Suzhen suddenly realized that Zhu Hao had that kind of easy-going temperament, he took everything very seriously, without the slightest pedantry of a literati, so it was not unusual to have such thoughts.

Lou Suzhen smiled and nodded at the moment, taking it as agreement.
