Chapter 61: Undercurrent
“The Emperor is here!”
With the eunuch in front of the imperial court, Zhu Youxiao stepped into the side hall of the Ganqing Palace, and no Wei Zhongxian or Wang Tigan followed behind him.
Princess Ningde, who had been waiting aside, bowed to pay homage: "Ningde has seen Your Majesty!"
"Stop ceremonies, what are you going to see with the emperor's brother?" Zhu Youxiao has always cared for his sister. When his grandfather was in power, his father lived a trembling life every day. He didn't know when the position of the prince was not guaranteed. Then these princesses naturally had not lived a few days of stable life and shared hardships. Then, in his heart, he naturally felt more emotional.
"Brother, Ningde brought candied osmanthus pastry. After trying it, the queen said it was delicious," Princess Ningde's crescent-like eyes curled up and said with a smile: "Take it here for Your Majesty to taste it."
"Of course my girl's skills are not bad," Zhu Youzhao was in a bad mood just now, and she felt a little relieved. She had just vented her venting, but now she saw her sister again, so she felt a little relieved.
It’s still family members who can save themselves worry!
Pick up a piece of pastry from the food box, fill it into your mouth, and then chew it carefully. A stream of not strong, but the fragrant and fresh osmanthus fragrance soaks the mouth, and then the sweetness of candied fruit is introduced from the tip of the tongue, giving people a wonderful taste.
"It's really delicious," Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "The chef in the imperial kitchen is far inferior to my royal sister!"
"Why are the emperor so angry when he was in the hall just now?" Princess Ningde blinked her big eyes and looked at Zhu Youxiao.
"Not yet..." Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth and took back what he was about to blurt out, but just smiled awkwardly: "Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong."
"Is it related? Wang Qi's?" Princess Ningde brewed a cup of tea and brought it to Zhu Youxiao.
"Don't listen to the nonsense of the servants in the palace," Zhu Youxiao frowned, took the tea, and put it back on the table as soon as he reached his mouth.
Zhu Youxiao felt irritated. The rules in the palace really should be rectified!
Princess Ningde stretched out her tongue and licked her lips, and said with a smile: "Sister I heard that Wang Qi wants to be a classmate Dingyuan..."
"Do you know the story of Dingyuanhou?" Zhu Youxiao sat on the soft collapse and looked at his girl.
"Not only that, I also know Emperor Ming of Han," Princess Ningde smiled with her head tilted and looked at Zhu Youxiao: "But my brother is not worse than Emperor Ming of Han!"
Zhu Youxiao was stunned, looked at his girl, and then burst into laughter.
Everyone talks about Wang Qi's merits and demerits, and it is not a question of whether he is arrogant or determined to make contributions. But in general, it seems that there is always a comment from Ban Dingyuan back then, as if no one has ever said that Zhu Youxiao could be the Emperor Ming of Han!
"Girl, your evaluation is novel," Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and smiled. He was in a good mood and picked up another piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Brother, can you let me see you first after Wang Qi comes back from the grassland?" Princess Ningde obviously wanted to get a vaccination to prevent Zhu Youxiao from being unable to bear the pressure at that time and directly threw Wang Qi into the imperial prison for punishment!
"Don't worry," Zhu Youxiao looked at his girl and said slowly: "Brother, I'm not too stupid!"
When an emperor discusses affairs, it is not the turn of the minister to speak out!
At this moment, Wei Zhongxian bowed and walked in from outside the hall, approached Zhu Youxiao and whispered in his ear: There were students in the Imperial College who were causing trouble, gathered outside the palace gate to denounce Wang Qi...
"How many people?" Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows, a little confused.
"About thirty people, all of them are the Imperial College in the capital." Wei Zhongxian was not yet in great power, so he had no courage to kill the students who caused trouble in the Imperial College without going through Emperor Tianqi. He consciously wanted to ask Zhu Youxiao first.
"Where is the cabinet?" Zhu Youxiao continued to ask.
"Only Sun Chengzong and Zhu Guozuo are on duty, and the rest are all called sick at home," Wei Zhongxian immediately returned: "And those scholars ignored Lord Sun and Lord Zhu's dissuasion, but instead knelt outside the palace gate, which attracted the attention of the people in the capital..."
When Zhu Youxiao heard Wei Zhongxian's words, before he could do anything, Princess Ningde frowned and her pretty face was full of anger. The princess of the Ming Dynasty was born and died in the Mongolian grassland of Korqin. These scholars who read the books of sages and eat royal meals did not educate the people, but instead took advice for the country and the country, but instead dragged back and claimed that they would imprison their husbands?
"It's really in vain that I have read so many books of sages!" Although Princess Ningde is not old, she reads a lot and likes to listen to stories about palace maids in the palace. However, she has never been attracted by stories about talented men and beautiful women. Instead, she likes to join the army with the pen and join the army.
Therefore, Princess Ningde has long painted a vivid portrait of the husband she had never met.
He killed the rebels outside Zhenwu Fort, attacked Hu Chen at Siping Fort, and went to the royal court with his weak title, but was injured by the thief.
In Princess Ningde's heart, isn't this the correct image of the male protagonist?!
"Where is Yang Xu, the Imperial College Priest?" On the other side, Zhu Youxiao's face had already sunk.
What Donglin used to use his reputation in Shilin to turn public opinion toward him and make his opponents passively scolded. For these young scholars, Zhu Youxiao could not easily use the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang. Once the court officials seized the opportunity, all attacks on Wang Qi will be directed to attack Silijian and the emperor.
No matter what, behind Wang Qi, he was Zhu Youxiao.
The Donglin Party has always seen this clearly.
"I just broke my leg this morning and couldn't get out of bed anymore," Wei Zhongxian replied quickly, thinking that he had already sent someone to find Yang Xu.
"It's a good time to fall!" Zhu Youxiao sneered and got up. He wanted to see if he insisted on protecting Wang Qi, what would these ministers do to treat him as an emperor?
"I draft an order, summon all the ministers of the cabinet, the six ministers, the ministers of the court, the inspectors, and half an hour later, go to Wenhua Palace to discuss matters! I will wait for them!" Zhu Youxiao shook his sleeves, stepped out, walked to the gate of the hall and turned around, pointed at Wei Zhongxian: "In addition, go and tell Yang Xu that within an hour, those scholars outside the Meridian Gate will not leave, and Yang Xu will go to the imperial prison to stay for us for a month first!"
"Abide by the order!" Wei Zhongxian went to do things according to the order.
Zhu Youxiao took the eunuch waiting outside the door to Wenhua Palace to prepare.
"Brother, wait for me!" Princess Ningde immediately followed him when she saw this.
"Ningde," Zhu Youxiao stopped when he heard the voice and said warmly: "I am going to Wenhua Palace to meet the foreign ministers, so you are not easy to follow."
"I want to hear what kind of high-sounding reasons those literati attacked him!" Zhu Huiyan mischievously stretched out her tongue, looked at the serious expression of the emperor's brother, and said coquettishly: "I just sit behind the screen, and I guarantee not to make a sound!"
