Chapter Eighty-Four: Hidden Worries Follow


Zhu Xu actually underestimated the difficulties of the late Ming Dynasty, and rice was sometimes more expensive than gold.

What's more, the drought in the Ming Dynasty, locust plagues, frequent earthquakes, and civil uprisings, although it is in the capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven, low-priced noodles are still worth grabbing.

Zhu Xu flipped slowly, and when he saw Yang Huaizhong's name, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

This wealthy businessman in Datong is not conspicuous among the Jin merchants, but he is the most low-key and muffled figure.

In later generations, he also opened the coffin of a Jin merchant, and the burial was not inferior to a vassal king!

The most important thing is that this person has dealings with the Dutch who occupied Taiwan and the Gulf, and Portugal living in Australia and Menmen, and is also involved in smuggling activities with Houjin!

"Don't rush, take your time."

Zhu Xu told him softly, suppressing the urgency in his heart, and told him that the time to calculate them had not yet come.

"Alright, let's archive it.

By the way, Sister Qingqing, let's have a watermelon, chilled.

Zhu Xu closed the account books and turned his head to shout at Yao Qingqing.

Yao Qingqing glanced at the two of them, bent his knees slightly, and turned around and walked in the direction of the kitchen.

Cao Wenzhao glanced around, approached and whispered, "Your Highness, I received news that the emperor wants to release Wei Zhongxian. ” Zhu Xu's heart jumped immediately, but he quickly suppressed his brows and thought, "Are you sure?"

” "I heard that the emperor also sent his attendants to the prison to see it, and he was basically sure."

Cao Wen said.

Zhu Xu's eyes narrowed, and there was a faint trace of worry in his heart.

Wei Zhongxian was sent in by him, and although Wei Liangqing and Zhou Yingqiu were not close, it was estimated that they would not be able to hide it for long.

If Wei Zhongxian knew that he had designed him, and he had returned to the palace, it would not have been so easy to deal with.

Zhu Xu was silent, Zhu Youxiao had not recovered since the death of the Hakka family.

Whether it is the government or the carpenter's craftsmanship, it seems that it is extremely coping, so Zhu Xu goes to the imperial study very rarely, and this time Zhu Xu almost copied all the yamen in the capital, no matter what Zhu Youxiao thought in his heart, Zhu Xu did not dare to see him more.

If Zhu Youxiao had any idea in his heart, or made up for Wei Zhongxian's guilt about the death of the Ke family, it would be a great threat to him!

No one knew Wei Zhongxian's destructive power better than he did.

Cao Wenzhao looked at Zhu Xuyu's brows, and said in a low voice, "There is also news from my uncle's side, and the emperor intends to let my uncle be promoted to the head of the household." ” Zhu Xu's brows immediately wrinkled even tighter, in order to fight for power from the ministers, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty often went out of their way to destroy the rules of their ancestors or the rules and etiquette established by those literati, but they were basically the same when dealing with their relatives or vassal kings.

That's to be guarded!

"Brother Huang, what are you talking about?"

Zhu Xu was uneasy in his heart, and vaguely felt that Zhu Youxiao's actions were all aimed at him.

"I'm going to see the imperial sister-in-law."

Zhu Xu stood up suddenly, got dressed and was about to go outside.

Cao Wenzhao was stunned, and said while carrying Zhu Xu's clothes, "Your Highness, are you looking for the queen mother to find out?"

” "No," Zhu Xu got dressed, tidied it up again, took a breath and said, "You can't stay in the palace all the time, the grounding order must be lifted." ” Cao Wenzhao was silent when he heard this, last time Zhu Xu almost offended the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, although the final result was not over, but those adults were the most good at settling accounts after the autumn, and no one knew if they had any tricks to deal with Zhu Xu, so Queen Zhang's grounding order for Zhu Xu has always been unwavering, and it is useless to let Zhu Xu use all his means.

This time, he was just as unoptimistic.

Zhu Xu doesn't care so much, Wei Zhongxian, this person is too terrifying, and he must not be taken lightly!

Quickly came to the gate of Kunning Palace, Zhu Xu sorted out the words he had calculated along the way, ran in with a smile and shouted, "Sister-in-law, I'm here again, Huan'er, this king wants to eat watermelon, chilled!"

” Huan'er was accompanying Empress Zhang to do embroidery, when she heard this, she glanced up at Zhu Xu, and muttered to Empress Zhang in a small voice: "Niangniang, we don't have much watermelon left, and we can't always give it to outsiders." ” Empress Zhang has been pregnant for more than four months, her little belly is slightly bulging, she looked at Huan'er and said, "Okay, our Royal Highness King Hui has been stuffy in the palace recently, and I don't give him some watermelon to eat, I'm worried that I'm going to get sick." ” Zhu Xu sat opposite Empress Zhang and shouted: "Imperial sister-in-law, the people in your palace are becoming more and more unruly, why don't you send me to the palace and I will train you for a while?"

” Empress Zhang laughed and said, "Okay, you should break this idea early."

Say, what are you doing again today?

” Zhu Xu straightened his waist and said seriously: "Eat watermelon." ” Empress Zhang looked at him with a smile on her eyebrows, obviously she had already seen through Zhu Xu's thoughts, but she didn't answer the phone.

Huan'er quickly brought the cut watermelon and gave it to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu glanced at Empress Zhang, and said with a concerned face, "Sister-in-law, has your appetite been good lately?"

” Empress Zhang's face was full of maternal brilliance, touched her little belly, and laughed softly, "It's not bad, those snacks you brought are very appetizing, and they have been eating better recently." ” Zhu Xu nibbled on the watermelon and said vaguely: "That's good." ” Zhu Xu was eating watermelon while chatting with Queen Zhang, both of whom were idlers who had time.

Zhu Xu wanted to eat snacks after eating watermelon, and Queen Zhang was embroidering while dealing with Zhu Xu with a match.

It was noon in a blink of an eye, and Zhu Xu had no intention of leaving, and he didn't mention the palace in his mouth.

Empress Zhang also seemed to have made up her mind not to allow Zhu Xu to leave the palace, and she also talked about Zhu Xu's topic.

Zhu Xu kept eating until noon, turned his head to look at the sky, and suddenly said to Huan'er, "Sister Huan'er, hurry, prepare lunch, I want to accompany the imperial sister-in-law to eat." ” Huan'er's eyes widened, did His Royal Highness King Hui suddenly change to a pig today?

Empress Zhang's heart was like a mirror, she turned her head to look at Huan'er and said with a faint smile: "Didn't you hear His Royal Highness King Hui's words, go and prepare lunch." ” "It's a sissy."

Huan'er vaguely understood, pursed her lips and smiled and turned to leave.

Zhu Xu tugged back and forth, thinking of Wei Zhongxian's matter, and suddenly changed the subject: "Imperial sister-in-law, has the imperial brother come often lately?"

” Empress Zhang's face was obviously stunned, and she quickly covered it up, lowered her head and embroidered: "Okay, I'm tired too, let's go back first if it's okay." ” Zhu Xu originally asked casually, but seeing Queen Zhang's face, his heart moved violently, could it be that the imperial brother favored someone again?

'How do I feel like I've been blind in the palace lately?'

’ Zhu Xu muttered in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Anyway, there is nowhere to go, so I will chat with the imperial sister-in-law." ” Empress Zhang seemed to lose interest because of Zhu Xu's topic just now, and said lightly: "In the future, you will be allowed to leave the palace twice a month, and each time it must not exceed an hour, if it passes, don't think about leaving the palace in the future." ” Zhu Xu showed a look of surprise on his face, but he was very vigilant in his heart.

What kind of woman is it that makes Queen Zhang, who has always been moody, lose her temper?
