little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 172 Three Changes
Glancing at the well-known slippery Shen Yiguan who was finally obedient and obedient, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Empress Dowager Li's mouth.

"The cabinet please draft an order immediately."

A clear and clear voice sounded from the side, the tone was neither too fast nor too slow, but with a majesty that cannot be ignored: "Wait a minute..."

This is the second time that Zhu Changluo said wait a minute, including Shen Yiguan and everyone in the hall, they all turned their eyes to the eldest son of the emperor who didn't talk much, but said well... No one dared to forget, his first speech Wait a minute, the concubine Zheng Gui, who was sure of winning, fell to her grandma's house, wait a second, wait a minute... Some clever people have already shifted their eyes to the Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Li's complexion has changed, she said in a deep voice, "What's the matter with you?"

Zhu Changluo looked calm and calm, bowed and said: "Grandmother, before asking the cabinet to draft an order, my grandson has a few words to ask Master Zhu Gengzhu!"

Empress Dowager Li's complexion changed again, and she unconsciously clenched the rosary in her hand: "What do you want to ask?"

The voice was already tinged with anger, and the strong threat made all the officials in the hall, big and small, change their expressions and tremble with fear.

Zhu Changluo smiled: "Lord Zhu said just now that he had met his father before and intended to entrust his fifth younger brother to Kunning Palace for adoption. Forgive me for my grandson's bold speculation that this matter is quite strange, and the adults here must also feel a little strange. So my grandson wants to ask a question, whether the emperor's grandmother can agree?"

Empress Dowager Li's eyes were cold, she stared at Zhu Changluo coldly, then looked around all the officials: "The Ai family would like to ask, is there anyone among you who thinks the same as Prince Rui?"

From Shen Yiguan onwards, most of the officials bowed their heads together, and they all knew in their hearts like Ming Jing that no matter who stepped forward at this moment, they would definitely bear the endless anger that followed from the Queen Mother.

The current situation is unclear, and too many people have chosen to play it safe.

In the class of military officials, Li Ruzhang was the first to hold back, and wanted to move as soon as he swung his body, but was caught by Li Rusong.

Li Ruzhang was taken aback for a moment, but when his elder brother gave him a warning look, Li Ruzhang shut up immediately.

At this moment, Shen Li, who had been languishing at the side, suddenly said with a trembling voice: "Prince Rui's words are right, I second the proposal."

After thinking about it, I didn't expect this guy to fire the first shot.

It's Shen carp again!Empress Dowager Li stared at him firmly.

Shen Yiguan stared at Shen Li with a complicated expression, this guy is really a good player at maneuvering the wind and the wind!This is when he saw that Concubine Zheng was on the verge of sinking, and knowing that he had offended the Queen Mother, he simply did not stop doing one thing, and was the first to stand up to support Zhu Changluo at this juncture.

Gu Xiancheng's reaction was not slow, he knelt down suddenly, and said loudly: "The minister also seconded the proposal!"

Since the third son of the emperor is out of the game, and the fifth son of the emperor can't even think about it, then he will muddy the pool of clear water and look for a good opportunity.

Shen Yiguan watched all this with dumbfounded eyes. These people... are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic!Immediately, he knelt down without hesitation, and his voice was loud and crisp: "The old minister also seconded!"

Shen's consistent attitude is very important. When he made such a firm statement, all the ministers immediately knelt down and seconded the proposal.

Looking at the minister who was kneeling on the ground, and looking at the gentle young man standing in front of her, Empress Dowager Li felt a little chill in her heart for some reason, she suppressed her anger, and her tone softened: "Luo Er, do you really want Do this? No regrets?"

Regarding Empress Dowager Li's weakness, Zhu Changluo had a faint smile on his lips, but he was not moved at all: "The grandson just wants to ask some questions, and the emperor's grandmother thinks too much."

Seeing that the other party refused to accept, Empress Dowager Li's face darkened, her voice was as cold as ice: "Okay, you can ask! Aijia will see what you can ask."

Zhu Changluo bowed, turned around and walked in front of Zhu Geng.

Poor Zhu Geng Mingzhe has guarded himself all his life and has never offended anyone. In terms of seniority, among the officials, big and small, in the palace, if he says he is the oldest, no one would dare to say that he is the second. Of course, his temperament is also number one.

As early as when Zhu Changluo walked over, Zhu Geng was already in a panic, there were two abnormal flushes on his fair face, and a fine bead of sweat was oozing out from his shiny forehead.

"Master Zhu, I have a few words to ask you."

With a beating heart, Zhu Geng wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Please, Your Highness, the old minister knows everything and can say everything."

"Very good!" Zhu Changluo clapped his hands appreciatively: "My lord is honest and honest, Chang Luo has heard about it for a long time."

Zhu Geng, who was praised, felt very ashamed, so the sweat flowed more and more on his forehead, and the previous trickle had become a torrent.

Zhu Changluo's smile suddenly faded, and his voice became serious: "Excuse me, my lord, just now you said that you had met the emperor before, and it was true that you said that the emperor's five sons were fostered in the palace?"

Regarding this question, Zhu Geng had been mentally prepared for a long time, and immediately bowed his head and said: "Everything that the old minister said is true!"

The voice was a little low, and it was inevitable that he seemed a little guilty.

"Zhu Geng, you are so bold! You are lying!"

The sun was shining brightly and the wind was drizzling just now, the sound of drinking was like a thunderstorm in the blue sky, everyone was startled, especially Zhu Geng, he couldn't help shivering, his legs were already a little weak.

Never expected that Zhu Changluo would accuse Zhu Geng of lying in front of the civil and military courts, and in front of himself, Empress Dowager Li was shocked and furious!
Rather than saying that Concubine Zheng Gui was fighting secretly with herself just now, then this half-grown boy is already pointing at her own nose to fight openly!

"Prince Rui, pay attention to your words!" Unable to hold back anymore, Empress Dowager Li suddenly stood up: "Master Zhu is a veteran of three dynasties, a loyal elder! What he said can be trusted by the Ai family, are you doubting him?"

Turning around and looking at Empress Dowager Li seriously, Zhu Changluo's eyes were warm and radiant, so clear that he could almost reveal a figure, "Don't be annoyed, grandma, my grandson doesn't mean that, it's just for the sake of my father's prestige, so that my grandma won't be deceived by others." You can’t just confront him with your talent.” There was a pause at this point: “…If the emperor’s grandmother doesn’t want to, grandson won’t ask.”

Mrs. Li was so angry that she was going to die, any fool could see what she meant!But at this moment, under the watchful eyes of all the witnesses, if I force him not to ask, does it mean that I have ordered Zhu Geng to tell lies?

Looking at Zhu Changluo from top to bottom, Empress Dowager Li's tight lips had lost any color, and a familiar scene suddenly appeared in front of her eyes...

More than ten years ago, that person knelt in front of her, looking at her with exactly the same eyes. She never expected to see such eyes again after more than ten years!

Empress Dowager Li gritted her teeth involuntarily. After a long time of silence, she suddenly burst out a sentence that almost no one could understand: "You know everything?"

Others don't understand, but Zhu Changluo understands. He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes: "Returning to the emperor's grandmother, there are some things that cannot be covered in paper. When the time comes, you will know what you need to know."

The voice was very small, but it was just enough for Queen Mother Li to hear clearly.

An unknown fire blazed from the bottom of my heart, and the journey along the way burned my heart and liver. Empress Dowager Li, whose eyes turned black for a while, felt that her throat was burning and uncomfortable: "Aijia is so regretful!"

Zhu Changluo smiled faintly, "Regret and no regret are just a moment of thought. The emperor's grandmother believed in Buddhism all her life. How can she not understand what the Buddhists say, that every drink and peck is pre-ordered?"

Seeing that Empress Dowager Li was pale and speechless, Zhu Changluo smiled and turned to Zhu Geng.

"Master Zhu said that he met his father alone, do you remember that day?"

Zhu Geng's face turned pale, and he said falteringly: "It was called one day ago... Sorry, I am old and confused, I can't remember clearly."

As the third assistant of the cabinet, it is not uncommon to say that the emperor summoned him to play something, but it is really not a good excuse not to remember clearly.

This ridiculous excuse made everyone frowned, but Zhu Changluo smiled and said: "It's okay, my lord is old, and sometimes I can't remember."

Turning around, he smiled at Shen Yiguan and said, "Master Shen, where do you put the daily notes?"

Zhu Geng's face changed drastically when he mentioned this extra living note!
The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and his words and deeds are recorded by full-time eunuchs every day. Those in the harem are called internal living notes, and those in the former dynasty are called external living notes, so that there are examples to observe and evidence to follow.

There are no details about when the emperor will go to court and when he will summon his ministers, as long as he takes this daily note, he will be able to tell.

Of course Shen Yiguan understood this truth, and immediately sent someone to get it.

Empress Dowager Li suddenly smiled and said: "I live outside in Aijia's Compassionate Palace, I will send it to Aijia for you to see."

"Then I won't bother the emperor's grandmother." Turning his head to stare at the Empress Dowager Li, a flash of insight flashed in his eyes, and he came to Zhu Geng's side in a few steps.

"I heard that the boss has been careful and careful all his life. Every time he has a face-to-face meeting, he has a detailed record. It has not been changed for many years. It was compiled into a collection a few years ago and named it Zhao Dui Lu. Is there such a thing?"

Seeing that Zhu Geng's face has turned from white to pale and then pale again, his eyes are staring at the ground, he is as if stunned and motionless.

Zhu Changluo sighed: "Master Zhu, if you have any difficulties, just say so."

Zhu Geng raised his eyes in a daze, opened his mouth, but shook his head.

"Come here, go to my study and bring Master Zhu's call record."

These words were the last straw that crushed the camel's back. Zhu Geng was so frightened that his legs gave way and he knelt down.

"The old minister is guilty of death! The emperor's meeting with the minister is purely... purely fictional!"

The world was quiet, and the iron-faced Empress Dowager Li stared at Zhu Changluo with staring eyes, while everyone stared at Zhu Geng together.

Zhu Changluo turned around and bowed to Empress Dowager Li with a melodious voice: "Grandmother, grandson is done asking."

Empress Dowager Li was extremely angry and embarrassed to the extreme, but she was like a dumb person eating yellow lotus, You Ruo couldn't say: "Come on, take Zhu Geng down."

Zhu Geng felt a buzzing in the back of his head, and in a panic, he only said one sentence: "...the old minister is wronged." was dragged down.

Watching Zhu Geng's figure leave, Shen Yiguan's forehead was already wet with sweat.

Shen Li was even more unbearable, his previous triumph was gone, and he had long since become limp as mud and fearful as a mouse.

His Highness and all the ministers didn't understand that Zhu Geng was wronged, so as not to die, the fox was sad and pushed others away. They couldn't help but drenched their heads with cold water and felt cold all over their bodies.

Empress Dowager Li was furious, and forced herself to calm down, knowing that if things continued today, it would be of no benefit to herself at all.

Although Concubine Zheng suffered an inexplicable defeat, she was exposed three times, her body was covered in blood, and there was nowhere to put her old face.

Although Zhu Geng was punished on his behalf, who could not see that it was an obvious deceit?
Looking across the faces of the officials, and finally falling on Zhu Changluo, the corners of Empress Dowager Li's mouth suddenly twisted.

"Master Shen, there are many changes in the court today, in Ai's opinion, let's stop here."

The Queen Mother's words made the hall of Supreme Harmony, which had been as calm as dead silence, suddenly burst into whispers.

The eyes that had been constantly moving suddenly settled down, and Li Sancai hurried out of the shift and knelt down: "I respect the Queen Mother's order!"

Ye Xianggao's reaction was not slow, and he hurried out of the shift and knelt down: "I wait to send the Queen Mother off!"

The two of them moved fast and slow, but their minds were the same. What happened today clearly showed that Concubine Zheng Gui had suffered a crushing defeat, and the current ending was the best ending for them. Let them muddle along first, and then they will have a chance in the future.

"The Ai family is also exhausted, so all the ministers will retire from the court, and the matter of the country will be discussed at another day."

Zhu Changluo lowered his head and said nothing, his snow-like eyes swept towards Shen Yiguan lightly.

Shen Yiguan blushed, and his heart was beating violently. He understood Zhu Changluo's meaning, and the feeling of giving up on the Wenhua Palace came to his heart again... He had an intuition that all the strange things that happened in this palace today , it is definitely not a coincidence, it seems that there is an invisible hand silently controlling the drill, everything is going on according to his rhythm, the outcome has long been determined, and anyone who fights will be in vain!

As a result, this always cunning Mr. Shen finally became tougher, which was rare in his life.

"I...don't dare to obey the imperial edict!"
