Domineering Daming

Chapter 1280 Eunuch Dorgon

Liu Rushi was taken aback by Zhu Xu's eyes, but still reluctantly met Zhu Xu's gaze.

Zhu Xu laughed suddenly, and said, "Chen Rujiao was injured a little bit, and she's locked up now, you can go and have a look. Since you're here, stay here, you and I are old acquaintances, let's talk more about nothing."

Liu Rushi didn't know whether to hear that Chen Rujiao was alive or Zhu Xu let her stay, a big stone fell to her heart, she stood up, and said cautiously, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu stood up and said to the outside: "Come here, Miss Liu is my honored guest, don't neglect her."

Cao Huachun walked in and said, "Yes, Miss Liu please."

Liu Rushi saluted again, glanced at Zhu Xu calmly, and stepped back quietly.

What happened to Zhu Zonghan made Zhu Xu heave a sigh of relief, and he felt a lot more relaxed. He moved his body and walked outside.

As soon as I arrived at the middle courtyard, I heard Xiao Shuxian's laughter.

"Higher, higher, higher..."

Holding the thread in her hand, the little girl yelled at Su Yinyin beside her.

Little Ciye and Little Cixuan each had one in their hands, and they were pulling it vigorously. Looking at the kite in the sky, their faces were flushed, and they seemed very excited.

Zhu Xu straightened his feet and looked at the children, feeling extraordinarily happy, and said, "Seeing them reminds me of my childhood, tsk tsk, it seems that I have never flown a kite..."

Cao Huachun followed Zhu Xu not as early as Cao Wenzhao, but he really didn't remember that Zhu Xu had let the kite go. He glanced at the princess, His Highnesses, and agreed with a smile: "The emperor is the Lord of Heaven, so it is naturally extraordinary. .”

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Xu felt the cold wind, and said, "This place is indeed [-] yuan more than the capital. Is there a river here? Find a time and go fishing."

Cao Huachun saw that Zhu Xu had such a rare leisurely mood, and said, "Yes, it's not far from Xingyuan, and I'll let the servants arrange it."

Zhu Xu nodded, and said: "Hong Chengchou don't move, I'm useful."

The smile on Cao Huachun's face disappeared immediately, and he said in a low voice, "Observe the order."

Zhu Xu's children were playing lively, Zhu Xu stood not far away, hiding a little, without disturbing.

But Zhang Yun still saw it, walked over, saluted, and said with a smile: "Shuxian is in a very good spirit today. She watched others fly a kite and clamored to fly it too, so my concubine made one for her."

Zhu Xu looked up at the kite in the sky and said, "Yes, it's very beautiful."

Zhang Yun quietly glanced at Cao Huachun, and said to Zhu Xu, "I heard that an old friend of the emperor has come to Xingyuan?"

Zhu Xu paid attention to the three children, afraid that he would be hurt, and said casually, "Well, I met a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River last time during my southern tour."

"Famous prostitute?" Zhang Yun frowned slightly, her pretty face slightly congealed.

Although Zhu Xu is not lustful and there are not many women in the palace, she knows the common problems of men.

She had no objection to Concubine Zhu Yuna's entry into the palace, and even she and Empress Dowager Zhang argued many times, but Zhu Xu rejected them on the grounds that she was too busy with government affairs.

However, no matter what, a "famous prostitute" cannot be allowed to enter the palace, and the royal family and Daming's face will be lost.

But Zhang Yun is a smart woman, she didn't say much, but secretly gave Cao Huachun a look.

Cao Huachun understood and bowed quietly.

Zhu Xu looked at the children with a smile on his face.He was not idle, but was waiting, waiting for Zhu Zonghan's confession.

Not long after, an inner eunuch came to report, saying: "Your Majesty, Zhu Zonghan has almost said everything about Luo Yangxing."

Zhu Xu turned around sharply, and said in a deep voice, "Bring me the confession, and I still want to send Jiang Feijun to see me."

"Yes." The inner prisoner agreed, and led Zhu Xu to the cell.

Cao Huachun stayed behind, walked up to Zhang Yun, bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

Zhang Yun looked at him, frowned, and said, "Tell me honestly, is that girl clean?"

Although Cao Huachun was an eunuch, he was also a man in his 40s, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Miss Liu and the Emperor are indeed old friends, just old friends."

It's just an old friend, so it's not accepted.

Zhang Yun felt relieved, but thinking of Zhu Xu's harem with few women and few heirs, and thinking that Liu Ru was born in Qinhuai River, he frowned and said, "Then, I ask you, if the emperor accepts her into the palace, Could there be any trouble?"

Cao Huachun was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhang Yun to think so far. After thinking about it, he said: "Miss Liu... If the government considers the desolation of the palace and the emperor is overworked, it is reasonable to offer some women to the emperor."

Women who donate in this way generally do not have much status, even if they have children, in order to protect the royal family's face, they will be entrusted to her.

Historically, Chen Yuanyuan was dedicated to Chongzhen in this way, but Chongzhen had no intention of being a woman, so she gave it back, which made Wu Sangui cheaper, and then a lot of stories came out.

Zhang Yun understood, and said in a low voice: "Go and find out, report back to me, and I will test the emperor's mind at night."

The empress thought of the emperor wholeheartedly, how could a slave refuse, Cao Huachun quickly agreed.

After Cao Huachun left, Zhang Yun whispered to himself, "After returning to Beijing, I have to talk to the emperor's wife, and convince the emperor to draft the talent as soon as possible..."

Zhu Xu didn't know that Zhang Yun had gone to great lengths to find a woman for him, and now he was sitting in the cell, holding a blank piece of paper in his hand, and was looking at it seriously.

Not far away, Zhu Zonghan was stripped of his shirt and locked on a chair without any injuries. He was very cooperative and answered every question.

Zhu Zonghan knew too many secrets, most of what he said now was about Luo Yangxing.

These are the things Zhu Xu is most concerned about right now!

Zhu Xu looked at the paper, and it was clearly written in black and white, from the second year of Chongzhen to the present, the major events in the past ten years.

Zhu Xu was surprised by many things. Jin Yiwei did many things he didn't know about, which were related to state affairs, internal and external.

Zhu Xu looked calm, and the clown couldn't ruin his plan.

It wasn't until the last few photos that Zhu Xu saw what he wanted. While looking at it, he said, "You mean, Luo Yangxing rebelled for the sake of power?"

Zhu Zonghan sat there, still with that zombie face, and said: "Yes. His actions are all for the purpose of overthrowing the emperor and setting up a new king. With the merits of Conglong, he can once again control Jinyiwei."

Zhu Xu sneered, and said: "Even if I fall, my son will succeed me, with the help of the cabinet ministers, how can Luo Yangxing get the merit of being a dragon?"

Zhu Zonghan said: "The previous matter against Fu Changzong was fueled by Luo Yangxing behind the scenes. He was testing the emperor, and he also wanted to really bring down Fu Changzong. As long as Fu Changzong is down, other people are not to worry about. Those who can serve as cabinet ministers A lot, Luo Yangxing has won a lot. As long as Fu Changzong is down, he can use some means to make the emperor and the cabinet chaotic, take care of one thing and lose another, and the rest... will be a matter of course..."

This sounds plausible, but it doesn't work at all.If there were any disturbances, Sun Chengzong could completely control the entire capital, and with Zhang Yun's edict, the two major battalions outside the capital would be guarding them, and any small party would not be able to cause chaos.

Zhu Xu put down the paper in his hand and said, "Is there anything else you haven't said?"

Zhu Zonghan looked up at Zhu Xu, and said: "According to the plan, he will attack the court officials, and I will attack the military. The first one is Cao Wenzhao. I plan to slander Cao Bianjiao, force the emperor to kill him immediately, and then send a letter to Cao Wenzhao, Dorgon, and then contact the rebellious people from all over the place, the general soldiers who have different ideas, and even the Japanese, Burma, Siam, and in an instant, the world will be in chaos..."

At first glance, it sounds like that, but after careful consideration, this plan is simply child's play, not feasible at all.

The first point is that he trusts Cao Bianjiao and will not execute him in a muddle-headed manner. Second, even if Zhu Xu kills Cao Bianjiao, Cao Wenzhao will only plead guilty and will not rebel, and the others are even more unworthy of argument.
