Because this attic faces the imperial garden, and when you open the window, you can see the wind blowing from it, which is cool and fragrant with flowers.
Therefore, from April to September every year, this place replaced the Qianqing Palace and became the place where the emperor worked and even lived.
"Cao Guogong's hat was smashed to pieces by the Twelve Princes..."
In the attic, Guo Guanseng bowed down and talked about what happened this morning, and from time to time he quietly looked at the emperor's face.
Zhu Yunxi's chopsticks were holding a soup dumpling, and he paused when he heard this.
"Later, King Su and King Qing also led their men to block the road, but Cao Guogong was alert and took a detour..."
Snapped!
The silver chopsticks in Zhu Yunxi's hand fell heavily on the table, and his face became cold.
Lawless, simply lawless.
Even as a prince, can he insult his ministers in the street?
In the laws of the Ming Dynasty, princes must be respected, but ministers must not be insulted either!
Besides, beating a dog depends on the owner!
No matter how much nonsense these idle princes in Beijing usually do, as long as it is not excessive, Zhu Yunxi can pretend that they have not seen it. But this time, not only was it excessive, but he also had no sense of awe.
"According to the people around the Twelfth Prince!" Guo Guanseng said again, "Last night the Twelfth Prince went to the Crown Prince's house, and the Third Master of the Fourth Prince's family specially took the Twelfth Prince and muttered a few words in a place where no one was around. sentence!"
"This guy!" Zhu Yunxi was secretly angry in his heart, "You are just watching the fun and don't think it's a big deal, do you want to add fuel to the fire?"
But then he changed his mind and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Zhu Gaosui tricked his boss again this time!
If it weren't for these idle princes to agitate for revenge, Li Jinglong would always be in debt to Zhu Gaochi. But in this case, the two sides would be equal to a draw.
This is like a fight between kindergarten children. In fact, the best and fairest way is for you to punch me and I to punch you. Otherwise, one will be beaten and burst into tears, and the other will be punished by the teacher. I burst into tears and felt so damn wronged.
A great assist like Zhu Gaosui is the best. Teacher Zhu Yunxi saves the trouble!
At this moment, the bastard appeared at the entrance of the attic and whispered, "Long live my lord, Duke Cao wants to see you. Please wait outside!"
"Yes!" Zhu Yunxi nodded and waved his hand to Guo Guanseng.
~~
"Your Majesty, Li Jinglong, goes to see the Emperor!"
When he saluted, Zhu Yunxi looked at him carefully.
The python robe that Li Jinglong wore was still brand new, without any wrinkles or dust, and the black gauze hat on his head was also intact.
"Did you have breakfast?" Zhu Yunxi said casually.
Li Jinglong raised his head and smiled, "I came here specially on your Majesty's plate just to shamelessly eat your meal!"
"Haha!" Zhu Yunxi laughed a few times, "You bastard, give some to Cao Guogong!"
"yes!"
The bastard took small steps and picked up a small plate of soup dumplings from the dining table in front of Zhu Yunxi. He put two eggs, pickled cucumber and a small bowl of pumpkin porridge on it.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Li Jinglong was not polite. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating and drinking.
Zhu Yunxi wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and looked at him with a smile, "What's the important thing so early?"
"Go back to the Emperor!" Li Jinglong put down his chopsticks and stood up, taking out a fold from his sleeves with both hands, "This is a gift book for the Lord of Zhenla Kingdom in Champa. Please make your decision, Your Majesty!"
Since the time when the old man came to power, the Ming Dynasty has not had the tradition of actively rewarding vassal states.
Even rewards or national gifts in return are symbolic.
Such is the character of the men of the Zhu family. Why should I give you my good things without robbing you? I’ll give you three melons and two dates!
But now the war against Annan is imminent, and small countries such as Champa and Chenla want to win over Huairou, so this year, for the first time, the Ming Dynasty began to take the initiative to return state gifts.
Zhu Yunxi took the gift list and looked at it. Li Jinglong's work was still so reassuring.
The gift list mostly contains porcelain, lacquerware, glassware, four treasures of the study, rice paper furniture and other flashy things.
"Well, since it's been left to you, you can do whatever you want!" Zhu Yunxi closed the gift list and looked at Li Jinglong again, "Is there anything else?"
"Back to the emperor, that's all!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.
Zhu Yunxi leaned back slightly, put the gift list on the table in front of him, and said with a smile, "I thought you were here to complain?"
Hearing this, Li Jinglong immediately stood up, bowed and said, "Long live the Lord's knowledge of thousands of miles, and I can't hide anything from you!"
"Are these the clothes you changed into on the way home?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
"Yes..." Li Jinglong sighed, "At first, I thought about complaining to you, Lord Long Live. After all, I..." As he said that, he lowered his head, "But then I thought about it, Lord Long Live takes care of everything, my family and the country."
The whole world rests on your shoulders alone. If I bring up such trivial matters again, wouldn't it cause trouble for you?"
"Besides, I have brought the blame on myself for this matter. If I continue to argue without knowing what I should do, this matter will never end. By then, there will be a fuss in the court because of my matter, and it will delay military and state affairs, and the gain will outweigh the loss!
"
"As the old saying goes, the world is brighter if you take a step back. If you feel wronged a little bit, just bear with it. As long as this matter can be over, it doesn't matter if I feel wronged some more!"
As he said that, he paused, looked at Zhu Yunxi's face, and continued, "Your Majesty, I have an unkind request!"
"Well, come and listen!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"What happened this morning..." Li Jinglong muttered, "Long live my lord, just pretend you don't know about it! It's not anyone else who makes me feel wronged, it's all the princes of the clan. No matter how hard you deal with it, there is definitely nothing wrong with their mouths."
Nice words!”
Zhu Yunxi tapped the table with his slender fingers and nodded slightly.
What does it mean to be able to talk!
This guy can fucking talk.
Does this just fucking talk?
This is sensible!
It was not that Li Jinglong had not been wronged. The majestic duke had his hat broken into pieces with a whip.
But in his words, he directly sublimated the matter of being wronged.
Sublimated into an apology to Zhu Gaochi, sublimated into not causing trouble to the emperor, sublimated into not causing disputes in the court...
"As Princess Baoqing said yesterday, how can a family have an overnight feud?" Li Jinglong laughed again, "I am also a relative, and I am also a relative of all the princes, and they are all higher than me. From the perspective of family affairs,
Isn’t it right for the elders to reprimand the juniors for their misbehavior?”
Look, it’s fucking sublimated again!
It has become a family affair!
The King of Xiang, King Qing, King Min, and others all belonged to Li Jinglong's cousin's generation in terms of seniority.
Does it count if an uncle hits his nephew?
"I'm very pleased that you can think so!" Zhu Yunxi also sighed slightly, "You did a good job in this matter!"
"It's my fault!" Li Jinglong whispered, "I was reckless and lost my dignity." After saying that, he glanced at Zhu Yunxi and said, "I still want to ask Lord Long Live to punish me!"
"The punishment will be waived!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "If Uncle Twelve whips you, it will be my punishment!"
If Zhu Bai, King of Xiang, hadn't made such a fuss, Zhu Yunxi would have really dealt with him, Li Jinglong.
But now that the whip is gone and the two sides are even, Zhu Yunxi, the talker, no longer has to worry about who is not feeling unbalanced.
"My lord, you are a stupid person who relies on the emperor's favor to survive today!" Li Jinglong said again, "In exchange for being so generous to me, I really can't repay you..."
"But!" Zhu Yunxi changed the topic, "Even if something like this happens, Hong Xi, you should still apologize."
"I understand the painstaking efforts of the Long Live Lord!" Li Jinglong said hurriedly, "Actually, I gave the prince a gift in return yesterday, but he didn't accept it at all, and..."
As he spoke, he took out the apology book for Zhu Gaochi from his sleeve and offered it with both hands.
"Oh..."
Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Is this too much for you?"
"Some things outside of me cannot express my guilt!" Li Jinglong said in fear.
