Daming Yinghua

After traveling to this world for seven years, Zheng Haizhu finally confronted the king of the empire.

He was also the shortest-lived emperor in Ming history.

Daming, unlike the later dynasties, did not have the so-called "monarch and minister etiquette" that allowed courtiers to call themselves slaves and kneel down at every turn.

Zheng Haizhu, as the official lecturer on the list of the Ministry of Rites, is the same as Ding Yun, the speaker on the side, who doesn't have to bend his knees when he sees Shengjia.

She just bowed slightly.

Before she lowered her head, she quickly took a look at Zhu Changluo's appearance.

The middle-aged emperor's figure is slightly fatter, his facial features are ordinary, his slender eyes are squinted, and he doesn't have the aura of a nine-five-year-old supreme being who is not angry and self-imposing.

The accompanying eunuch, Wang An, received the emperor's signal, and stepped forward a few steps. First, he glanced at everyone, and his gaze stayed at Eunuch Xue.

Eunuch Xue immediately said: "My lord, slaves deserve to die, they didn't stop Master Zheng, and disturbed Shengjia."

Wang An glanced at Zheng Haizhu.

Zheng Haizhu was calm at this moment, not rushing to talk, staring at Eunuch Xue coldly, listening to what he made up later.

Wang An had heard about this woman from Yang Lian before, and his first impression today was acceptable, so he scolded Eunuch Xue: "Just tell me the whole story."

Eunuch Xue sighed: "The servant girl wanted to lead Master Zheng to change the scarlet robe of the lecturer, but she said that she didn't want to meet the ministers and workers at the Imperial Court, so the servant girl took her from the back of the imperial pharmacy to the side hall on the west side of the Wenhua Hall. Unexpectedly, as she was walking, she asked her servant to take her to the three main halls first. The servant wanted to ask why, but she first said that she was curious because she had never seen the grandeur of the Forbidden City. Seeing that the servant did not believe her, she stuffed another bag of gold, It is said that she heard that the Long Live Lord is coming to the three halls today, and she wants to see the Long Live Lord."

Speaking of this, eunuch Xue staggered away from Wang An's body, and with a plop, he knelt down towards Zhu Changluo who was standing behind him, three parts panicked and seven parts upright.

"Your Majesty, there are rules in the palace. How can slaves and servants run around in the palace with their foreign ministers, and they don't want Master Zheng to come here like a cat rushing for food, and they can't be stopped... Hey, Ding remonstrates, It just happened to hit, Ding Guanren, right?"

Ding Yun showed contempt and disgust: "Why do you want to see the Lord Long Live, I see, this woman clearly wants the Lord Long Live to see her. Excuse me, the one next to Your Majesty is Dong Shaoqing?"

"My official, Dong Qichang of Taichang Temple."

Away from Wang An, Dong Qichang greeted this young courtier who could be his grandson with a friendly face and bowed his hands.

There is no way, most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty are so aggressive, the emperor is a little scared, an old guy who has just become the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple because of his friendship with the new emperor, how dare he talk to the officials? put on airs.

Ding Yun sneered: "Dong Shaoqing, I heard that Mrs. Zheng has a fellowship with you. No wonder, she knew that His Majesty was coming to the Three Great Halls today, and she cried and clamored to let His Majesty take a look at her. This is not the master of the prince, it is clearly want to do..."

How could Dong Qichang fail to understand what Ding Yun said.

Today, he did enter the palace in response to the imperial edict, and accompanied Zhu Changluo to inspect the three main halls. As the hall official of Taichang Temple, he made some plans for the ceremony after the completion of the new hall.

No matter how good Dong Qichang's cultivation was, he would inevitably change his face if he was blamed for such a blame for no reason.

"Dong Gong, don't be angry," Zheng Haizhu raised his head and said to Dong Qichang, "I have never lived with Xue Gonggong and Ding Qijian. I don't know why they framed me and made me so unbearable."

Zheng Haizhu paused, and turned his gaze to Zhu Changluo frankly.

"Don't be rude to the king." Wang An reminded her with a strict reprimand.

Zheng Haizhu lowered his head in time, but doubled his volume: "With the trust of Long live and the court, I just want to be the master of the princes wholeheartedly. But today, Eunuch Xue tricked me into coming here on the grounds of avoiding the cabinet ministers. When the official noticed something strange, he turned and ran. On the ground between the palace walls, there were two sets of footprints of the official in opposite directions. I implore your majesty to send the prince to investigate carefully."

Wang An was relieved when he heard that she spoke clearly, without flustered, and with an upright spirit.

This person was recommended by Dong Lin, if he was really a clumsy and reckless person with the dirty mind of recommending himself as a pillow, wouldn't it be possible that he, the middleman who had spoken well of her in front of the emperor, could also be involved?
Zhu Changluo's voice finally rang out, slowly and gently: "Oh, there are many footprints on the road just swept by the little firemen."

Zheng Haizhu said: "Your Majesty, I'm wearing cloth shoes from my own workshop. The soles of the shoes are made of Jiading yellow grass in the shape of our Songjiang Square Pagoda. It's not only for increasing friction, but also as a mark of our name. Please go have a look."

When Zhu Changluo heard Eunuch Xue’s complaint for the first time, he was looking at Zheng Haizhu, and saw that she had only a wooden hairpin inserted in her fancy simple bun, and her face under the black hair was still straight, but she couldn’t see the use of makeup. After careful painting, the skin looks black, yellow and rough, which is completely different from those concubines in the harem who are shy and charming.

The color of the beige is even darker ocher.

Zhu Changluo murmured, saying that it was the posture of willows, but it was not enough, but how could anyone come to confuse you so unabashedly?If they hadn't started a quarrel and this woman walked past my eyes, I would have only regarded her as a maid in the palace.

"Wang An, go and have a look." Zhu Changluo ordered lightly.

Wang An hurried to the corridor between the palace walls, leaned over and looked back and forth.

Zhu Changluo caught a glimpse of eunuch Xue's expression not as good as before, so he said kindly, "Xiao Xue also goes to see, so as not to worry that Wang An will lie about the military situation because of my concern for Master Dong."

As soon as Zhu Changluo said this, Zheng Haizhu's attitude towards the emperor was fully understood.

Eunuch Xue concealed his apprehension, said "obey the order", and moved near Wang An.

Wang An pointed to the ground: "It really looks like the top of the tower. This series of footprints is facing the three halls. Hey, look at this series of footprints again. The pointed end is facing the direction of Wenhua Palace again, isn't it, Xiaoxue?"

Eunuch Xue felt a chill down his spine, Wang An's voice seemed to become farther away, and his heart began to think about what to do next.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Ding Yun, only to see Jingzhao, a female Taoist who had been standing behind everyone, standing in front of Tianzi to speak.

"Okay, let's go." Wang An called Eunuch Xue with a meaningful smile.

After Zhu Changluo heard Wang An's truthful report, he said to Eunuch Xue calmly: "Jingzhao Taoist said that she went to the palace today to teach the "Tongxuan Scripture" to the noble concubine, and just saw you and Master Zheng from a distance. Pulling, she seems to run back, but you are holding her tightly, aren't you?"

Eunuch Xue seemed to be shocked by electric shock.

This testimony is tantamount to directly convicting him of deceiving the emperor.

How is it so unlucky to meet this stinky Taoist who is passing by meddling in his business!
But no matter how creepy it was, years of experience in the deep palace still made eunuch Xue make a quick decision.

You can't confess Ding Yun who was conspiring with you, and you can't confess that they set up Yao Zongwen's revenge for Zheng Chongming's swallowing of troops.What I have done today should not be a capital punishment. After being sent out of Beijing, I can always try to rely on Yao Zongwen and the others to come back.

Eunuch Xue gritted his teeth, and knelt down in front of Zhu Changluo again: "Your Majesty, this servant will die, and this servant is confused! Because this servant heard that the Zheng family is in Tongxian County, in order to cling to Zuo Yushi, the servant is very important to the Huangzhuang who cleared the land for Li Niangniang. Disrespectful, considering that Li Niangniang has always treated people in the palace generously, this servant and servant made arbitrarily assertive claims today, and wants to give Li Niangniang a sigh of relief."

After saying that, he turned his knees half a circle, and kept bowing to Ding Yun: "Officer Ding, the slaves misunderstood the king's hearing, and made the officials wrongly judge the morals in the palace. I'm sorry, Official Ding, I'm sorry, Official Ding. "

Among the people in the sixth department corridor, which one is not a human being, and which one is not quick-witted?Ding Yun heard that eunuch Xue meant to bear the turmoil by himself, a heart that had already jumped into his throat fell back into his stomach in an instant.

He took a hard look at Eunuch Xue, with a terrified look on his face, his eyebrows were furrowed into deep grooves that could trap mosquitoes, and he gasped for a few breaths before he came to Zhu Changluo as if he had recovered. In front of him, he bowed his waist like a shrimp.

"I have no place to be ashamed, no place to be ashamed!"

Zhu Changluo was in a complicated mood for a while, thinking to himself, maybe his father Wanli was not so straightforwardly admitted and made up for his mistakes by the spokesperson.

"Ding Qing's family, you didn't feel sorry for me today," Zhu Changluo teased, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the wrong person."

Ding Yun bit his back teeth, turned around and bowed to Zheng Haizhu: "Master Zheng, forgive me."

Zheng Haizhu observed Eunuch Xue and Ding Yun's behavior from beginning to end, especially Ding Yun's plausible way of dragging Dong Qichang, who was friendly with Donglin, into the water, and he didn't believe that this person was a confused eater.

This person surnamed Ding belongs to Shizhong from Huke... Isn't Yao Zongwen from Huke to Shizhong?Isn't Yao Zongwen the pawn of Fang Congzhe, Donglin's deadly enemy and the leader of the Zhejiang Party?
In this section, Zheng Haizhu was guessing a moment ago.

How could eunuch Xue, a servant who had already sneaked into the chief of ceremonies, spend so much time in such a farce in order to vent his anger on his concubine.

But at this moment, she couldn't ask impulsively, she had to look at the emperor's attitude first.

Seeing that Zhu Changluo still looked like a tepid old man, he shook his head and said to Eunuch Xue: "The manager of Huangzhuang clearly invaded the land that day. After I heard about it, I not only reprimanded Lady Li, but now I should Reward Master Zheng for speaking uprightly. Thanks to you being the supervisor of ceremonies, right and wrong cannot be distinguished. Wang An..."

"The servant is here."

"It is my oral order that Xue Erbao will be transferred to Fengyang to guard the imperial tomb."

"Follow the order." Wang An said.

"My servant thanked the Lord Long Live." Eunuch Xue said in a low voice.

After Xue and Ding retreated in embarrassment, Zhu Changluo said to Zheng Haizhu with a warm face: "Master Zheng was falsely accused for nothing, it is really a disaster without reason."

Zheng Haizhu saluted: "Your Majesty is wise, and there is this Daoist Jingzhao who can distinguish right from wrong, and I am safe from danger."

Zhu Changluo said: "The eldest son of the emperor and the fifth son of the emperor, I ordered them to wait in the Wenhua Palace early in the morning. If you are shocked and tired today, I will let Wang An and Sun Hanlin talk about rescheduling the lecture."

"Your Majesty, the ancients said that when you are young, you should cherish every inch of time and every inch of gold. This is the time when you are full of energy. What you want to do now is to go to the Wenhua Palace as soon as possible, and teach the princes with Lu Xiangsheng, the assistant teacher."

Zheng Haizhu deliberately bit the word "Lu Xiangsheng" clearly, brushing the emperor's ears.

Zhu Changluo smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, as a teacher, I look forward to their success even more than I do as a father. Okay, Wang An, you can lead Master Zheng to the Wenhua Palace to serve Fei and teach."

After Zheng Haizhu thanked him, he once again offered blessings to Jingzhao who stood silently aside: "Today, I have more testimony from the Taoist priest, and I will visit the Taoist priest's fairy temple another day."

Jingzhao leaned forward: "Holding the empty view next to the Imperial College, waiting for Master Zheng."

The young female priest stood where she was, respectfully sent Zhu Changluo and Dong Qichang to the west side of the three main halls, then turned around, looking at the back of Zheng Haizhu following Wang An in a hurry to the east.

"General Ma, Hu Po returned a favor to you today."

she said in her heart.
