Zhu Xu roughly figured out Zhu Youxiao's intentions, so he was not so worried.
He was half-lying on the couch, squinting and pondering.
Although today is his first appearance, some domineering people directly won the military department Shangshu, although it is arrogant, but it is also a display of strength, whoever wants to move him in the future, or the people around him, must be afraid of three points.
And tomorrow is a kind of public and real 'outing', no matter what the result is, he Hui Wang, Emperor Zhu Youxiao's younger brother, will be remembered, especially the adults in the court.
"Your Highness, have you figured out what to do with Zhang Heming?"
Cao Wenzhao stood in front of him, looked at Zhu Xu's expression, and said in his heart.
Zhu Xu smiled slightly and said, "We don't mix the affairs of the court, the first priority is to serve the silver." ” Cao Wenzhao was stunned, he didn't understand the words of His Royal Highness King Hui very well.
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "You must play to your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and use your advantages."
Okay, wait for the emperor's will. ” Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhu Youxiao's will to come down, but he was also vague, not clearly stating Zhu Xu's position, but only emphasizing the word 'chief judge'.
Cao Wenzhao looked at the edict over and over again, looked up at Zhu Xu and said suspiciously: "Your Highness, what does the emperor mean, what do you want you to do with Zhang Heming?"
” Zhu Xu was also pondering, the three divisions of the trial, it should be the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but the will of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was excluded and became the royal family, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple.
Huang Kezhang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is an extremely fair person who wants to make a difference, and he is also a capable person, but he has too many constraints and his reputation is not prominent.
He doesn't know much about Dali Siqing, but he can see him tomorrow.
Zhu Xu thought for a long time, waved his hand and said, "No matter what the imperial brother thinks, these are the affairs of the two of them, let's just make money." ” Cao Wenzhao didn't know why Zhu Xu could do anything to make money, but he didn't ask, so he would naturally follow tomorrow.
Early the next morning, with the help of Yao Qingqing, Zhu Xu put on a royal dress neatly, and then went to Kunning Palace to say goodbye.
Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Xu as if she was looking like her, and she entered the door with a little smugness, and hurriedly pulled her over, and said angrily, "Sit down, I wanted to find you last night, you said you, what to do so impulsively, what do you have to tell me first." ” Zhu Xu also knew that Empress Zhang had noticed something, and she couldn't tell how much it was in her heart, so she just smiled when she heard the words, and said, "How can I disturb the good things of the imperial sister-in-law and the imperial brother, look, how sensible I am." ” Empress Zhang slapped him on the head, and said angrily: "You can be angry with me." ” Zhu Xu sat down with a smile, picked up the chopsticks and knocked them up, and shouted loudly: "Huan'er, hurry up and eat, this king will go out to try the case later, who is hungry." ” Empress Zhang sneered, turned her head to look at Huan'er, who was also puffing out her mouth and glaring at Huan'er not far away, and said, "Don't pay attention to him." ” After speaking, he glared at Zhu Xu and said, "Don't talk to me poorly, let's talk about it, how are you going to deal with this matter?"
” Zhu Xu grabbed the snack on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Let him go." ” Empress Zhang frowned, and said, "Let him go, this is the right thing, don't fool me with your impropriety." ” Zhu Xu took a bite of dim sum, didn't feel so hungry, and took another sip of tea.
Empress Zhang picked up the chopsticks and knocked his hand, and said slightly angrily: "Tell me quickly, what are you going to do." ” Zhu Xu blinked, looked up at his white face, and said innocently: "Sister-in-law, I'm only seven years old, how do I know how to try cases, it's not those adults who have the final say." ” Empress Zhang listened to Zhu Xu's words, was stunned, and said thoughtfully: "You mean, you plan to push them?"
” Zhu Xu said as a matter of course, "How can it be said that it is pushing, this is their job." ” Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Xu, nodded lightly and said: "It's okay, although the emperor didn't deal with you in this matter, it is estimated that the court will impeach you, you try not to speak, and when they close the case, you will be fine if you hide in the palace for a while." ” Zhu Xu nodded vaguely, eating with his head bored, and urging Huan'er not far away from time to time.
Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Xu, frowned again, and suddenly said loudly: "You promise me!"
” Zhu Xu was taken aback, and sighed secretly in his heart, saying that women are sensitive, and this queen is estimated to be the most sensitive among women.
Zhu Xu wiped his mouth and said seriously, "I promise to be honest and not to cause trouble." ” Zhu Xu was taken over by Queen Zhang when he was three years old, raised in the palace for three years, and was released last year at Zhu Xu's request to live or die, and he thought he knew better than anyone else, looking at Zhu Xu's appearance, the more she didn't believe it.
Empress Zhang turned her head to look at Huan'er and said, "Huan'er, you will let someone go to the Guogong Mansion later, and invite your father to go with King Hui." ” The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth moved, knowing in his heart that Empress Zhang was still not at ease, and nodded again and again on his face: "Okay, good." ” Empress Zhang was indeed still uneasy in her heart, and threatened: "If you are causing trouble for me, don't think about leaving the palace in the future." ” This sentence is too lethal, and Zhu Xu said with a look of assurance: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm the most obedient." ” I don't know if it's because of pregnancy, Queen Zhang's heart is always up and down, worried about the emperor, worried about herself, worried about Zhu Xu, worried about her parents, worried about her brothers and sisters, children and nephews, and she has never been found.
Empress Zhang was uneasy, and she didn't want to see Zhu Xu, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, you can go." ” Zhu Xu's eyes widened and he protested, "Sister-in-law, I haven't eaten yet." ” "Let's go."
Empress Zhang said with a provocative posture.
Zhu Xu grabbed a plate, pursed his lips, and walked out of Kunning Palace while eating.
"Niangniang, didn't you talk about Your Highness early in the morning?
How to drive him away. ” Huan'er walked over with a stack of snacks and looked at Zhu Xu's back and said suspiciously.
Empress Zhang sighed, touched her slightly bulging belly, and said, "Who knows what the hell this monkey has in his heart, if he stays for a while, I can't help but pick up the whip and teach him a lesson." ” Huan'er looked at Queen Zhang, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Niangniang, you are pregnant, I heard the old grandmother say that a pregnant woman is in such a mood." ” Empress Zhang shook her head and said, "Forget it, don't care about him, you can cook some soup for the emperor and send it to the emperor later."
She also noticed that since the death of the Hakka family, Zhu Youxiao's health has become worse and worse, and he is also losing weight.
Huan'er agreed and ordered.
Zhu Xu walked out of Kunning Palace, stretched his waist, and said to Cao Wenzhao, who was waiting outside: "Old Cao, go, go out of the palace, and meet the Punishment Department and the adults of Dali Temple for a while." ” Cao Wenzhao hurriedly walked over and said, "Your Highness, the carriage is ready, I ordered twenty guards." ” "It's too little," Zhu Xu's greasy hand rubbed directly on the king's clothes, and said as he walked one step at a time: "Take a hundred, don't take a carriage, take a sedan chair."
By the way, the king hasn't eaten yet, so he will buy a roast chicken after leaving the palace. ”
