When Zang Feng, the former Governor-General of the Xuan Dynasty, returned to the court to perform his duties as the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhu Si praised Zang Feng in front of all the courtiers and gave him a hundred taels of gold in public. The generosity of this act alone made the court officials The minister frowned.
At the end of the court meeting, Zang Feng clearly felt that the ministers were alienated from him. Even though many people knew that he was a popular figure around the emperor and had a bright future. He was given official positions such as Shangshu and Zuodu Yushi, and he was granted the title of Zhuguo. It's not impossible... But now is the time when Yang Tinghe is in control of government affairs and public opinion. Being close to Zang Feng is tantamount to offending Yang Tinghe.
Who dares to put himself on the opposite side of the civil service group before Yang Tinghe officially takes office?
After the court meeting, Zhu Si happily returned to Qianqing Palace, where Huang Jin had been waiting for him.
"Your Majesty, Dongchang just learned the news that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess... left the palace." Huang Jin said.
Zhu Si asked, "The eldest princess? The third emperor's sister? She... ran away from home? Became a Taoist nun?"
Zhu Sida was surprised. Why did all the weird things happen to him?
Zhang Zuo, who was following Zhu Si, said hurriedly, "Why don't you send someone to find the eldest princess quickly? If something happens, can Dongchang afford it?"
Huang Jindao said, "The eldest princess is surrounded by someone to protect her secretly, so the eldest princess's whereabouts are always under control. It is said... that she is heading east along the official road, as if she is going to Yongping Mansion."
"hiss……"
Zhu Si understood it as soon as he heard it.
This is preparing to elope with Zhu Hao.
Zhang Zuo became worried after hearing this.
Zhu Hao is a married person and a dignified princess. Doesn’t she even want to lose her face? She went to find a married man? Do she want to force Zhu Hao to divorce her and marry her again? Or do she plan to hook up with Zhu Hao and have sex with her? ?
"Your Majesty, how about... quickly sending someone to recover the eldest princess?" Zhang Zuo suggested.
Zhu Sidao "Until now, I haven't given the title of princess to the Third Emperor Sister. Strictly speaking, she is just the princess of Prince Xing's Mansion now, and she was my former sister, so..."
When Zhang Zuo heard this, the emperor wanted to sever the relationship with his sister?
It means that no matter how nonsense Zhu San is, it's her own business, don't involve the emperor's face?
"Forget it, let's inform Jingdao as soon as possible...and send more manpower to prevent the emperor from getting into trouble on the road," Zhu Sidao said.
Zhang Zuo asked in a low voice, "Then... we won't pursue you anymore?"
"What are you chasing after? If she wants to find Jingdao, then her wish will be fulfilled. I believe that Jingdao will find a way to drive her back and make her give up completely, so that I don't have to worry about it." Zhu Sidao said, "Always. It's so unclear, and if you turn around and publicize it, I and your mother will be even more embarrassed. That's it."
Zhang Zuo felt even more frightened after hearing this, and couldn't help but glance at Huang Jin.
Huang Jin said, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess did not even bring a formal attendant with her, but rode on horseback..."
"Sister Huang is really fooling around. She is a daughter. If she encounters bandits while traveling, she doesn't think about the consequences? She must send more people and protect her closely! Hehe."
Having said this, Zhu Si suddenly laughed mischievously.
Neither Zhang Zuo nor Huang Jin understood. What was the emperor laughing at?
Zhu Si smiled and said, "I can imagine that when Jingdao saw the dusty imperial sister appearing in front of him, he would be very moved. Maybe he would feel soft and take the imperial sister in, and even...hehe."
After Zhang Zuo heard this, his hair stood on end.
What is the emperor's state of mind?
Seeing your sister’s jokes?
Or are you just waiting to tease your own ministers?
Zhang Zuodao said, "If this matter spreads out, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the eldest princess."
Zhu Sidao, "What's the harm? The third emperor's sister chose the person herself, and Jingdao also has a sense of propriety... Besides, what does it matter even if Jingdao really marries the third emperor's sister?"
Zhang Zuo hurriedly reminded, "Mr. Zhu is a matchmaker who is marrying the daughter of the Sun Budang family."
"The worst case scenario is to let Third Emperor Sister become Jingdao's concubine?" Zhu Si looked indifferent.
.
"ah?"
Zhang Zuo was shocked.
Zhu Sidao: "Apart from this, is there a better solution? But by then, I may have to think about my words. Why should I wait until Mr. Yang Ge takes office? By then, Jingdao has already joined the cabinet, even if he is not serving as the chief minister.
"Others also know that I have great trust in him. I married my sister to him and won over the ministers. Don't all the ministers understand?"
"But……"
Zhang Zuo thought to himself, even if you really want to win over Zhu Hao, you should find a way to get Zhu Hao to divorce his wife and marry the princess again.
How could Zhu Hao be allowed to take the princess as his concubine?
Zhu Hao sighed, "It's strange that Jingdao is too good. Growing up, the Third Emperor Sister has seen Zhuge Kongming, who can pinch and count as a semi-immortal. How could she resist it? After thinking about it, there is nothing more.
There is a good way to solve this problem. Who makes Sister Sanhuang have higher ambitions? If she is willing to go, just let her go and leave the problem to Jingdao. I don’t want to waste this time!"
Zhang Zuo probably understood.
The new emperor was worried about his sister's marriage. Finally, he thought of using Zhu Hao more in the future, so he decided not to interfere and let Zhu San and Zhu Hao develop freely. Anyway, the worst result would be that his sister would be used by Zhu Hao.
Being a concubine? This is not something he cannot accept.
But when a servant like Zhang Zuo heard this, he felt that there was no distinction between master and servant, king and minister. Why is Zhu San also the eldest princess, with golden branches and jade leaves? Is he really not afraid of being laughed at?
…
…
Zhu Si arranged for Huang Jin to inform the Empress Dowager Jiang of the news.
By the way, Huang Jin was also asked to convey his intention to the Empress Dowager Jiang...
Of course, as a mother, you must not allow your son and daughter to act recklessly. The Empress Dowager Jiang was not willing to let her daughter marry a minister as a concubine.
"...You guys are really fooling around! Now that you know her whereabouts, why don't you chase her back quickly? If there is an accident on the road, how many of you can handle it?"
Empress Dowager Jiang was furious.
His daughter is stubborn, so he is begging his grandfather to sue his grandma for his daughter's choice of a husband.
However, Empress Dowager Zhang still makes the final decision in the palace, and the Ministry of Rites is not cooperative in matters regarding the consort. None of the candidates she looks for satisfy Empress Dowager Jiang. Empress Dowager Jiang even asks her grandson to ask for help in a gentle way, which shows that she, a mother, is also interested.
Anxious.
Now her daughter went to have a private meeting with a man. If she were an ordinary person, Empress Dowager Jiang would have chopped that man alive!
But that was Zhu Hao...
Empress Dowager Jiang had no choice. The only thing she could think of was to quickly get her daughter back. If that didn't work, she would put her under house arrest and force her daughter to cut off all contact with Zhu Hao and wait for marriage.
Huang Jin said, "Queen Mother, calm down... Your Majesty's wishes cannot prevent the eldest princess from going east."
Empress Dowager Jiang said coldly, "I have never seen you listen to His Majesty like this before. How come now that the royal family's integrity is concerned, you are not responsible at all as ministers? I have decreed that you should go and chase him!"
"this……"
Huang Jin almost wanted to find a pillar to hit against.
Admiral Dongchang's job is not easy to do.
Now that Yang Tinghe has the final say in the court, the governor of Dongchang is living like a dog. He has to nod and bow to others when he goes out. Now he is sandwiched between the emperor and the queen mother, and it is difficult to be a human being?
"This servant will go and ask for your Majesty's instructions," Huang Jin said.
Empress Dowager Jiang looked at Huang Jin coldly, but saw that Huang Jin was so frightened that his whole body was shaking. He was obviously very frightened, and her anger immediately disappeared. She was silent for a long time before saying, "Okay, I will mention it to Your Majesty."
Regarding this matter, please step aside first! Let Your Majesty come and see you..."
…
…
Then the emperor went to see my mother.
Outsiders don't know what was said, only that the mother and son had a long conversation.
Afterwards, no one was sent to chase Zhu San. I don’t know whether the emperor persuaded my mother or whether the two sides reached some kind of compromise. In short, Huang Jin did not bear too much pressure.
No matter what, the news of Zhu San's departure must be kept strictly confidential from people in the DPRK.
Fortunately, Zhu San was not a public figure in the first place. Others only knew that there was an unmarried little princess in the capital, waiting to be named the eldest princess. Normally,
He often goes in and out of the palace, but he doesn't know where he lives, let alone his whereabouts.
Even if she is not in the capital, she can still be excused by saying that she has returned to Prince Xing's Mansion in Anlu to worship her ancestors and to get married.
Even Sun Jiao, who was close to the new emperor, did not know any rumors about this matter.
At this time, what Sun Jiao was most concerned about was actually Zhu Hao's situation in Yongping Mansion. After Zhu Hao arrived at Yongping Mansion, the news for Sun Jiao was cut off. He didn't say a letter without seeing it, as if someone deliberately stopped him.
He knew Zhu Hao's situation.
Sun Jiao waited for a while but had no news, so he had no choice but to go to Tang Yin's house and ask about the situation.
After nightfall, Tang Mansion seemed very deserted.
Lou Suzhen was away, and Tang Yin also seemed depressed. Although he and Lou Suzhen were still just friends, they had risen to the level of close friends. It didn't feel like not seeing each other in the past few days. At least he knew that Lou Suzhen was in the capital and would come at any time.
Now that Lou Suzhen and Zhu Hao have gone to Beijing to serve as officials, Tang Yin feels alone, as if he has lost someone who can appreciate him when writing poems and painting.
People only know how to cherish something after losing it.
"...Bohu, after Jingdao went to Yongping Mansion, I should have written to you, right? How is he doing now? Didn't he have any conflicts with the local government?" Sun Jiao was very concerned.
Because he vaguely knew that the purpose of Yang Tinghe sending Zhu Hao to Yongping Mansion was to cause trouble for the mine run by Jinyiwei there.
Zhu Hao wanted to complete the tasks entrusted by Yang Tinghe without letting his hard work go to waste. He would probably use local officials and gentry as his spearmen. In addition, Zhu Hao had no experience in running a government, so Sun Jiao was very afraid that Zhu Hao would suffer.
.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
Tang Yin said, "It is said that everything is fine, and the next step is to open the mine."
"Mining?"
Sun Jiao was puzzled by this.
Tang Yin nodded, "I don't know the specific reason for opening the mine. It's all my own arrangements. Now I'm executing it myself. I don't want to ask about it, so I'll just let him go."
Sun Jiaodao: "Are you so confident about Jingdao?"
Tang Yin said perfunctorily, "Isn't there Jingde there to help?"
"you……"
Sun Jiao felt that Tang Yin was trying to choke him back by mentioning "respect for virtue".
Don’t you, Mr. Sun, admire Mi Jingde very much?
Now Mi Jingde is working as an aide in front of Jingdao, and they are working together. What are you worried about? Or, what's wrong with me, Mr. Tang?
Sun Jiao was so angry that he threw down the letter and said, "No matter what, pass this letter to him! I'm leaving!"
