"It's snowing again. ” Yao Qingqing stood in front of the stairs with a broom, looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky, and said with a chuckle.
Zhu Xu sat on the recliner, with a hot tea set on his left hand, looking at the falling snowflakes and smiling: "It's white, it's so clean." ” Yao Qingqing naturally didn't understand the meaning of Zhu Xu's words, and while sweeping the snow on the stairs, he chatted and said, "Your Highness, I heard that Niangniang is sick. ” Zhu Xu's face moved, and he nodded: "Well, it's okay, it's just cold." ” Empress Zhang is actually not cold, but postpartum sequelae.
This kind of sequelae does not appear all at once, but can only be slowly manifested and endured in the years to come.
The snow is very large, but the snow is not very much, Yao Qing cleaned it more easily, and said, "The emperor is also sick, this time it seems to be very powerful, and the mother is very worried." ” Zhu Xu picked up the teacup and sighed silently.
Zhu You's abnormal love for the Hakka family was transferred to Zhang Yanyao, and he squandered his body wantonly, so that the small snake venom evolved into a curse, which was so serious that it was difficult to control.
Yao Qingqing also knew that such a topic could only be mentioned casually, and soon talked about other things.
After a while, Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao walked over from outside, patting the snow on their bodies while bowing and saying, "Your Highness." ” Zhu Xu glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "How is it, what's the excitement outside?"
” Cao Wenzhao straightened his clothes and said with a smile, "Your Highness, there really is."
I heard that many eunuchs have recently resigned from the eunuch party, and many people from the Donglin party have entered Beijing at this time. ” Zhu Xu also laughed when he heard this, the so-called "one and the other" is nothing more than that.
Cao Huachun glanced at Yao Qingqing not far away, approached and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I heard that King Xin has connected more than a dozen pleas, and it seems that he wants to seal it as soon as possible." ” As Zhu Xu expected, he handed a cup of tea to the two of them, wrapped them in clothes and said, "Well, but the imperial brother will not let him go, and most of them are just confined in the palace." ” Cao Wenzhao also agreed, and said: "Your Highness's expectation should be right, it's been three days, and the emperor still hasn't issued an order to deal with Wei Zhongxian, so he should still be hesitant in his heart." ” Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said, "Well, I asked Gu Bingqian to give the imperial brother a book, gave him the stairs, and postponed the disposal." ” The two Cao were stunned, glanced at each other, and Cao Wenzhao said with a puzzled tone: "Your Highness, why are you always interested in this Wei Zhongxian......
Exercise restraint?
” Zhu Xu took a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a vague smile: "You want to ask, why am I always so soft-hearted towards Wei Zhongxian, right?"
” Zhu Xu suppressed Wei Zhongxian three times and twice, but each time he showed mercy and always spared his life.
Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao nodded at the same time, looking at Zhu Xu with curiosity.
Zhu Xu took another sip of tea and said slowly: "Because it's useful for me to keep him." ” Both of them were stunned, "Useful?"
” Zhu Xu didn't explain much, and changed the topic: "I heard that Master Sun is back?"
” Cao Huachun saw that Zhu Xu didn't want to say more, so he had to follow Zhu Xu's words and said: "Yes, it is said that the emperor intends to keep Lord Sun." ” Zhu Xu sat there, his expression unmoved, but he sighed in his heart.
Although Wei Zhongxian fell, some things still happened as usual.
Sun Chengzong left Liaodong, and he will inevitably be replaced by the Donglin Party.
At present, the mainstream idea of the Donglin Party is to withdraw the military and civilians of Liaodong and stick to Shanhaiguan.
In this way, the Ming court and Houjin will completely switch offense and defense, and strategically, they have already failed, and they can only wait to be beaten.
Cao Wenzhao saw that Zhu Xu didn't speak, so he said again: "Your Highness, Gu Bingqian, just let it go?"
He's about to be promoted to assistant. ” Zhu Xu sneered and said, "This old shameless still wants to cooperate with me, and he really looks down on me."
Use it when you can use it, and let him fend for himself when he doesn't use it. ” The two Cao were too flattering to Gu Bingqian's character, and they both nodded when they heard the words.
Zhu Xu didn't want to pay attention to Gu Bingqian, who didn't understand the situation at all, and turned his head to look at the two of them and said, "How is Master Yang's side?"
” Cao Wenzhao bowed slightly, and said, "Your Highness, Lord Yang is now proud of the spring breeze, it is said that the saddle horses in front of the door are like a stream, and it is very lively, and it is likely that he will be promoted to the right capital of the imperial history soon." ” Yang Lian's official promotion was fast enough, and he was promoted to the third level within a year, and it is not far from entering the cabinet.
Zhu Xu also knew that as the only remaining veteran of the Donglin Party, it was normal for Yang Lian to rise to this position.
It's just that the Donglin Party is now biting King Xin and Wei Zhongxian, the government and the opposition, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, even the generals at the border have also written books, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid it will be the beginning of a new round of dumping.
Zhu Xu knocked his fingers on the chair and said solemnly, "Put everything else aside, the year-end audit is about to start, and you all keep an eye on me."
The three departments of the three major commercial banks are cross-examined, and any corruption and misconduct must be strictly eliminated and will not be forgiven!
” Both of them also knew Zhu Xu's deep hatred for corruption, and immediately said in a deep voice, "It's Your Highness." ” This year's snow is big and short, and it comes and goes quickly.
Wei Zhongxian was imprisoned for a long time and did not deal with it, and the Donglin Party chased and beat hard, especially the people in the opposition, almost all the forces, even Ye Xianggao, **Xing, Zuo Guangdou and others couldn't bear it, and wrote excerpts from all over the place, urging Zhu Youxiao to execute Wei Zhongxian as soon as possible.
The eunuchs are like lost dogs, panicking all day long, the resignation is already preparing luggage, hiding from the closed door, and more people are running all over the capital, looking for a new backer.
On the wall of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao was on crutches, coughed from time to time, looked out of the palace, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Sir, what do you say, what are they thinking?"
” Sun Chengzong stood behind him in his regular clothes, looked at Zhu Youxiao's back, knew what he was asking, and sighed lightly in his heart: "Your Majesty, the people's will is unstoppable." ” "Unstoppable?"
The corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth moved, he laughed again, and a little flush appeared on his pale face, and he coughed: "There are hundreds of civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, and I can't count the heads of a single hand that I can trust. ” Zhu Youxiao wiped his mouth, and then said, "Sir, do you see anything wrong with this matter?"
” Sun Chengzong knew that the emperor had already entered the topic, although he had already thought about it, he still groaned and said, "This matter is suspicious, and the minister can't think through it for a while, but it should be inseparable from Wei Zhongxian." ” Zhu Youxiao was a little helpless, looked at the gray sky, and said, "So, you also think that this matter was instigated by Wei Zhongxian and wanted to do something, but he didn't expect to be sued by Wang Tiqian in advance, so it was exposed?"
” Sun Chengzong glanced at Zhu Youxiao's side face, paused for a while, and said in a calm voice, "Does the emperor suspect that His Royal Highness King Hui is involved in this matter?"
” A wry smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Youxiao's mouth, and he said, "King Hui didn't participate, he had no motive, and he didn't get benefits. ” Sun Chengzong heard the meaning of Zhu Youxiao's words, although King Hui seemed to be completely unlikely, he was still the most suspicious.
He frowned, looked at Zhu Youxiao's side expression, was silent for a while, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, King Xin wants to be sealed, why don't you take the opportunity to let King Hui and King Xin move into the Ten Princes' Mansion together, and the minister will also go to take a trip in person, and ask King Hui to donate one million taels to aid the military salary of the Nine Sides." ”
