Zhu Yijun looked at the dull-looking Gao Pragmatic with a smile, then looked at the two imperial girls sitting not far away, and saw that although they were wearing eunuch robes, their red faces looked particularly delicate and pretty. , I thought to myself: It's a pity that the ancestral system doesn't allow it, otherwise it would actually be good to let pragmatically be my brother-in-law.
Thinking of this, he suddenly straightened his face and said, "Why are you so stunned? Is this an injustice to you?"
This matter was so unexpected that Gao Pragmatic was a little confused about Zhu Yijun's thinking, so he could only smile bitterly: "This matter... is yes, but Your Majesty, the situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't know you two. Your Highness’s identity.”
"Oh, do you still have a point?" Zhu Yijun snorted: "Why, if it weren't for my imperial sister, you could have grabbed the hands of the two eldest girls who have not left the palace?"
"This..." Gao Pragmatic explained dryly: "The so-called change of management power, urgent matters must be followed..."
"Oh? Then what? Is this just over?" Zhu Yijun glared at him: "You think so!"
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: So liberating women is very important. What kind of broken ethics is this? They just grabbed the handle when they were anxious to escape, and it was like treason. As for that? According to this idea, all men and women who go to swimming pools in future generations will be beheaded. Head! If I like swimming as much as I did back then, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to understand my hatred even if I chopped it into minced meat?
When Zhu Yijun saw Gao Jingshi stopped talking, he thought he had scared him. He was about to comfort him when he heard the fourth princess Zhu Yao said: "Brother, didn't you say you came to save him? You also said that he definitely didn't mean it that day. Why?" Now we have to be held accountable again? According to this, my sister and I will only be able to live as green lanterns and ancient Buddhas for the rest of our lives."
The fourth princess, Zhu Yaonao, is only twelve years old this year. She rarely spoke before. Now she speaks softly and softly, but the meaning of her words is very clear, which makes it difficult for Zhu Yijun to continue.
Zhu Yijun may have been influenced by his father, Emperor Longqing, who attached great importance to family ties. He loved his younger brothers and sisters very much. It was impossible for him to be serious with such a half-year-old sister, so he had to cough and said to Gao Yingshi: "Pragmatic, don't say that. I'm scaring you, you're causing a lot of trouble, and my mother will be very angry when she finds out about it."
Although he was still pretending to be serious when he spoke, because of what the fourth princess had just said, Gao Pragmatic had already reacted now. He knew that Zhu Yijun was trying his best to sneak out of the palace today and also came to find him. He must have come to discuss a solution, otherwise An imperial edict can make you tremble, so what are you doing with all the fuss?
"I am terrified. I deserve death for my crime."
With these words, Zhu Yijun felt that it was enough, and immediately said: "Well, it's good that you admit your guilt, but after all, this matter is still excusable, and death is not inevitable... Even if the queen mother is angry, she will probably I have no intention of actually killing you."
Gao Pingshi smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you, Queen Mother, and thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "If you want to thank me, don't rush me. How to handle this matter is the key."
Gao pragmatically opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say.
However, Zhu Yijun seemed to have made up his mind and said proudly: "After I learned the news yesterday, I thought hard and found a way." After saying that, he looked at the third princess Zhu Yao'e with a smile, until her face turned red again.
Then he continued to look at Gao Pragmatic with a smile.
Gao Pingshi was shocked by his look, and thought to himself: What's that look in your eyes? If you dare to say that you want me to be Princess Shang, I will flee to sea tomorrow, do you believe it or not?
"I'm thinking that Yao'e is not young anymore. She will be fifteen after the New Year. She can consider finding a consort for her." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Pragmatically, I think this matter is very suitable for you to handle!"
Gao pragmatic was so shocked that he even forgot to say "chen" and opened his eyes wide: "Me?"
"That's right! You caused the trouble, and you didn't do anything yourself. You just watched me work hard. Are you embarrassed?" Zhu Yijun said matter-of-factly: "What's more, you know a lot of people. I want to help her find a prince-in-law. Press
According to the rules, you can only read the description written by the person below. How can you know whether it is good or bad without even meeting you? It is different for you. You can help her find it, and you can carefully examine her character, talent, knowledge, family background...
Oh, forget about your family background, it’s too good to be too troublesome, and those officials are very annoying.”
Gao Jingshi was stunned for a moment: "Uh... what the emperor means, I just want to find a replacement... ahem, find a good person to come to Princess Shang?"
It is indeed not a good thing to have ups and downs in mood. With his high level of understanding, he almost said "scapegoat" smoothly.
Zhu Yijun was immersed in his own ingenious plan, but he didn't hear anything unusual. He said with great relief: "That's natural. You are not like me and can only stay in the palace. In addition to a lot of older ministers, you can only stay in the palace."
I can only see a bunch of eunuchs who still look like men. You are outside the palace, and now you are considered to be outside the palace. There must be many young and handsome people you can meet. Wouldn't it be the most appropriate thing for you to do this?"
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: That's true, but the people I usually deal with are either the children of distinguished nobles or the children of high-ranking officials. Who is so stupid about Princess Kenshang? Even if they are willing, this ancestral system won't!
Zhu Yijun saw Gao Pragmatic's troubled expression, and then straightened his face: "What, you're not happy?"
"How dare I?" Gao Pingshi quickly organized the words in his mind and explained: "It's just that I usually focus on studying and don't have many contacts with some wise people. It seems that I can't think of anyone suitable for Princess Shang at the moment. This
…”
He specially emphasized the words "folk sages". How could Zhu Yijun not recognize it?
However, His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand grandly: "Don't worry about this, I have already thought of an idea for you."
What, you still have this ability?
Gao Pragmatic didn't dare to show his disbelief, but he still asked cautiously: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. I am stupid. I wonder what your Majesty's clever plan is?"
Zhu Yijun said proudly: "I heard that you have a good reputation outside. You are also called 'Gao Longwen'. You must have some respect among scholars?"
Gao Pragmatic didn't dare to say anything, and said modestly: "Well, maybe there is a little bit of it."
"It will be easy if you have it!" Zhu Yijun said happily: "Anyway, you came to Beijing early and have many people under you. When the time comes, I will ask Dongchang to help you, and you will keep an eye on those candidates who will come to Beijing to participate in next spring. You invite one by one and invite them to your home, and then you inspect them to see which of them have good conditions in other aspects, but most of them will not be able to pass the Jinshi..."
When Zhu Yijun said this, he suddenly glanced at the third princess Zhu Yao'e with some guilt, and sighed: "Yao'e, don't blame the emperor. It's not that the emperor refuses to choose the one with the best knowledge for you. It's really the ancestral system... …”
At this time, the third princess Zhu Yao'e stood up very formally, bowed to Zhu Yijun, and said seriously: "Yao'e is deeply aware of the meaning of the emperor's care, but the ancestral system cannot be violated. Although Yao'e is ignorant, she also understands it. , Please don’t do this, my dear brother, how dare Yao’e take the responsibility?”
Zhu Yijun sighed and nodded again, looking a little lonely. After a while, he turned to Gao Jingshi, his voice was a little low and authentic: "Qinggang, although you and I are monarchs and ministers, we are actually classmates. Today's matter is not There is no righteousness between a monarch and a minister, but for the sake of us being classmates for ten years, you must do your best, I..." He said, with a trace of indescribable helplessness on his face.
Gao Pragmatic took three steps back and bowed his hands solemnly: "Pragmatically, do you dare not to do your best?"
