First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Liu Jin walked quickly to the front of the bedroom, and whispered to the maid at the door: "The princess is not in bed yet, please go in and report."

The maid immediately responded and went in for a while and then came back to summon. Liu Jin bowed her waist and stared at the brick surface under her feet and followed softly and slowly.

"You are here to tell me about Concubine Li."

Liu Jin was a little surprised, but she still responded sharply: "Yes, Concubine Li lost her composure and broke the porcelain bowl given by the imperial concubine. Although it is not a serious crime, it is unavoidable to be so disrespectful on the occasion of the emperor's northern tour. It's too much to respect, and it has failed the empress's expectations for her.

Not only did he fail to assist His Highness in governing the women in and out of the palace, but he was the first to overstep the rules. His Highness should be able to convince the public by being in charge of the Phoenix Seal because of emotion and reason. "

After finishing speaking, Liu Jin slammed her head heavily on the ground: "Your servant will die forever."

How the Crown Princess handles the affairs of the harem is not something he, a servant, can talk about, especially when the Crown Princess doesn't ask him, but he has to.

The Crown Princess held the Phoenix Seal to perform the power of the Empress on her behalf, and even gave birth to the grandson of the Emperor with her Royal Highness. How could the slaves in the palace not know who is the real master in the future.

I'm afraid that the Crown Princess will know about Concubine Li's matter before him. How could the Crown Prince be so wise and mighty that he would not have expected it, but he still sent him to report. It is clear that he has something else to say, but it is difficult to say clearly.

Since His Majesty is not good at explaining clearly, it is impossible for him to ask again. He can only act according to his own guess. It is best to do it right, but it is best to confess his guilt if he does it wrong. In any case, it will only be him who is wrong. Make yourself a wise servant.

Chang Luohua's slender willow eyebrows frowned slightly, but they stretched out again in an instant, looking down at Liu Jin, who buried her head deeply, and said: "It's really getting more and more presumptuous, if it wasn't for the sake of the Lord, today the palace must Punish you well, don't back down!"

Liu Jin slammed his head again and then retreated after pleading guilty. Chang Luohua glanced at the maids serving in the palace. Talkative.

"Chuan Yi's decree, Concubine Li's disrespect made her close the palace gate and copy the female commandment, and she was not allowed to go out without decree."

"promise."

………

Zhu Biao closed his eyes and enjoyed it, but he was still thinking in his heart. Concubine Li already knew about it, and everyone outside the palace who should know also knew about it, so he didn't know what he would do.

It is true that Zhu Biao was angry with Zhu Xi just now, but it is not enough. The virtue of the second child is not a day or two. Zhu Biao has been used to it for more than ten years, so how could it be possible that he can't stand it suddenly today.

It’s just to see if anyone dares to extend their claws to the storage position in an attempt to support Qianlong’s change of fate against the sky. After all, Zhu Biao’s basic plate has been formed and stabilized now, and some people have never had the opportunity to integrate into it .

I am afraid that it will be even more difficult in the future. Unless there is a special opportunity, no matter whether it is a fledgling prince or a prince who has succeeded in the reign, he will not have so much energy to get to know an official, even if there is one. Talented young.

There are those who are content and always happy, but there is never a shortage of lunatics who risk their lives to gamble in this world. What's more, this situation is even more good for Hu Weiyong. Jin Wang Zhu Yu is the second prince. But it is also not as good as this person.

………

Outside the palace, the Zhongshu Provincial Government Office is still brightly lit, and there are many more officials coming and going than in previous days, but this number of people is not too much for the long backlog of government affairs.

In the hall, Hu Weiyong frowned and drank the soup, then wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief beside him and said, "A rare commodity to live in? King Jin can also be counted as a rare commodity?"

Chen Ning said on the sidelines: "Jin Wang seldom goes out to play in the palace these few days, and the officials and dogs accompany him to have fun. After getting drunk, Jin Wang said a lot of taboo words. It can be seen that he has resentment towards His Majesty and His Royal Highness. Isn't it just me? Waiting for a rare commodity?"

Yang Xuan, the left servant of the Ministry of War, said: "Master, haven't you seen the nature of His Highness the Crown Prince at this time? Even if I can survive the Holy Majesty, I am afraid that the situation will not be much better when the Crown Prince succeeds."

Zhongshu Youcheng Chen Liang followed the two of them in a different way of thinking: "Don't mislead the Prime Minister. It involves the change of the reserve position. It will touch the Holy Majesty's reverse scale. If you touch it, you will die. What's more, we just want to shake the prince. The position is a delusion, would you sit idly by when you are a civil and military man in the Manchu Dynasty? Or do you think that Li Wenzhong from northern Xinjiang, Xu Shuai from Jiangnan, and Chang Shuai, who is about to return to Beijing to sit in town, will go crazy and join King Jin?"

Tu Jie said silently: "The king of Jin really has no master's capital, even if we all support it, it is absolutely impossible, but it is still a good chess piece, at least its name can be used."

Zhao Yannian, Pingzhang's political officer, pondered for a moment before saying: "Let's not talk about what I think, we still have to see if King Jin has the heart, otherwise it will be of no use at all, and it will attract the suppression of His Royal Highness, even if I can't wait, It must also damage the subordinates in vain."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay for a while. It is said that King Jin was young and energetic and had accumulated grievances for a long time. It should not be difficult for them old foxes to stir up their ambitions. Got it.

According to King Jin's temperament, maybe in the end, he really braved his face and cried bitterly in front of the prince to admit his mistakes. According to the prince's temperament, he would definitely forgive him. .

Hu Weiyong then said: "The king of Jin is either a strange thing, or a fool. If it is really a strange thing, it must be His Royal Highness's strange thing. It is deliberately to test the bait of Chaowen Wu. Anyone who bites the bait will be wrathful." .”

There was a knock on the door, Chen Liang got up and walked over to open the door for a while, then closed the door and came back, threw his robe and sat down and said: "Princess Consort Li reprimanded Concubine Li for copying female commandments behind closed doors."

Chen Ning asked: "Is it the meaning of the Crown Princess or His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"There is no news from the East Palace, but the lack of news just proves that there is a problem. I guess it should be the meaning of His Royal Highness."

Now everyone was more aware, Yang Xuan closed his eyes and stroked his short beard and said: "Then restrain the disciples, don't get involved at this juncture."

Just as the rest of the people were about to nod in agreement, Zhao Yannian, the political officer of Pingzhang, shook his head and said, "Why did you let go of this good opportunity? Although His Highness killed some, there are still too many officials released by the Ministry of Punishment to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. They have been locked up for a long time, so the news will inevitably be unsettled." Lingtong, why not take this opportunity to send them to the prison to sober up again."

It is inevitable that there will be struggles in the officialdom. It is not that there is really any sworn feud, but there are only so many official positions, and the real power official position is also a carrot and a hole.

Some time ago, there were a lot of official vacancies, but the Holy Majesty refused to transfer local officials to fill the vacancies. Now the prince has arranged for scholars from the Imperial Academy to fill the vacancies. I didn't get it, so I'm not reconciled.

There is no need to say more about the latter, they are all from the same faction, and they know what official position they are aiming at each other, and they will not compete with each other. Not to make enemies.

"Master, the arrangements have been made at the Beijing Camp, but the sudden transfer of the Commander's Mansion is a little weird, so let's forget it."

Hu Weiyong suddenly said: "They have already moved, and it is no longer possible to hide them. Let's proceed according to the plan, but the beginning and end must be handled properly, and there must be no contamination at all."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, everything has been dealt with cleanly. Whether it succeeds or not is irrelevant to the overall situation."

This matter was a bit scary, and after a few brief conversations, it stopped, Tu Jie turned around and asked: "Master Xiang, there has been a message from the Ministry of Rites for a long time, how should we treat the Wu family members? I heard that in front of the house where they stayed, there was a lot of wind and smoke, and there were so many cars and horses, that the gifts brought in could not be piled up."

Hu Weiyong said: "It's enough to arrange some gifts for each of us. It's a good time to pass the occasion. It doesn't have to be too precious. According to the empress's personality, the Wu family will definitely let these gifts be dismissed."
