Domineering Daming

He looked at Zhu Xu carefully, and said, "Your Highness, is something wrong?"

Zhu Xu looked at him, the fiery light in his eyes quickly faded, he turned around and said with his hands behind his back: "It's okay, let's go back."

Looking at Zhu Xu's back, Cao Huachun still felt that it was very strange, but he didn't dare to ask.

When Zhu Xu returned to Jinghuan Palace, he locked himself in the study, and no one was allowed to enter.

He was sitting at the desk, half lying on the chair, squinting his eyes, half asleep.

Zhu Xu was really shocked by the thoughts in his heart, he needed enough time to calm down and sort out the chaos.

Outside Zhu Xu's study, Cao Huachun, Cao Wenzhao, and Yao Qingqing were all standing there, watching each other, not knowing what happened.They had never seen Zhu Xu with such a dignified expression.

After a long time, there was no movement inside, Cao Huachun said worriedly: "You tell me, do you want to go to Kunning Palace to find out what happened?"

Cao Wenzhao frowned, shook his head and said: "Don't move around, since His Highness didn't speak, we must not be able to help."

Yao Qingqing pursed her lips, and said softly after listening to the two people's words: "I'd better ask Miss Qing and Miss Rou."

Cao Wenzhao thought for a while, nodded and then instructed: "You must be quiet, and you must not be noticed."

Yao Qingqing turned around and walked towards Kunning Palace. She was familiar with Wu Qing and Wu Rou, so she could inquire quietly.

Soon, Yao Qingqing came back from Kunning Palace, and said to the two of them, "Miss Qing said that there is nothing special. It is good for His Highness to leave Kunning Palace."

Cao Wenzhao and Cao Huachun's expression became more solemn, looking at the motionless study door, feeling uneasy.

It wasn't until night that Zhu Xu opened the door, and when he looked up, he saw the straight eyes of the three of them.

Zhu Xu touched his face, wondering: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Cao Wenzhao had the highest position in Jinghuan Palace. He looked at Zhu Xu and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, is something wrong?"

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just thought about something and figured it out. Let's prepare dinner, I'm hungry."

When Yao Qingqing saw it, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a light smile, "It's Your Highness, it will be ready soon, let's sit outside first."

Zhu Xu stretched his arms and said while walking outside: "Seven days after the end of the year, everyone can relax. The outside of the palace is also given annual leave, more money will be paid, and some rice, grain and meat noodles will also be distributed."

Cao Wenzhao followed behind and agreed, but he was still very uneasy.He had never seen Zhu Xu shut himself in the room for such a long time in such a muffled voice.

"Your Highness, eat a little bit to pad your stomach first, and the food will be ready soon." Yao Qingqing put a plate of dim sum on the table.

Zhu Xu sat down, took one quickly, and said vaguely while eating: "We don't need to do anything in the palace. If we have nothing to do recently, we can take care of our own affairs, and we don't need to stay in the palace all the time."

Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao looked at each other, Cao Huachun approached and whispered: "Your Highness, are you all right?"

Zhu Xu turned his head and glanced at him, then turned to Cao Wenzhao, smiled and said: "Okay, I'm fine, you guys are busy with your own."

The two looked at Zhu Xu's expression, and they were relieved when they saw that he really didn't show any reluctance.After the Chinese New Year, the two of them had more things to do, and after staying with them for a while, they left one after another.

Zhu Xu looked at the backs of the two, let out a long breath, and thought to himself, "It's not the time yet..."

This year, Zhu Xu was under a lot of pressure. After the fifteenth year, he visited Yang Lian himself.

Yang Lian has a thin face and cold eyes. At first glance, he is the kind of upright, cynical person who dislikes everyone.

The king of heaven and earth, master and relative, masters are still in front of relatives, especially in the extremely distorted society of the late Ming Dynasty, no one can tolerate disobedience.

Zhu Xu offered tea respectfully and respectfully.

In fact, if you really want to apprentice, the ceremony is very complicated, but Zhu Xu came here with the thought of saving as much as possible.In addition, Yang Lian seemed reluctant, so the whole process went smoothly.

Yang Lian sat at the main seat, and Zhu Xu was at the bottom. They looked at each other after drinking tea.

Yang Lian straightened his body, looked at Zhu Xu calmly, and said, "Your Highness, have you ever read any books?"

Zhu Xu was cautious and polite, and said: "Mr. Hui, I read some miscellaneous books, but I didn't seriously enlighten myself."

Yang Lian looked at Zhu Xu, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, I will enter the palace five times every ten days to tell His Highness the 24 History."

In the collection of classics and history, the ancients paid the most attention to classics, but they often start with history.

Zhu Xu understood Yang Lian's meaning, stood up and bowed and said: "Yes, the student will leave."

Yang Lian nodded and sat there without moving.

Zhu Xu left Yang's mansion and got into the carriage. Cao Wenzhao, who had been following him all the time, said with a rather cold expression: "Your Highness, is this Mr. Yang too condescending? No."

Zhu Xu shook his head with a smile, and said: "You don't understand. In the eyes of Mr., I'm already his student. Although it's not a good thing to be a filial son under the stick, it's always right to be strict. From now on, he will come and go with Jing Huan. Palace, you have to be more respectful."

After all, Cao Wenzhao was born as a soldier, and he didn't read much. Hearing what Zhu Xu said, he didn't say anything.

Zhu Xu came out this time to learn from his teacher, so he went straight back to the palace after going through the motions.

In front of the palace gate, Zhu Xu was just about to get out of the carriage when suddenly the mountain shook and he almost fell off the carriage.

Cao Wenzhao quickly supported him, and at the same time his face changed drastically: "Your Highness, there is an earthquake, let's find a place to hide."

Zhu Xu felt the tremor on the ground, and quickly judged from his professional experience that it was just affected, not the center of the earthquake.

"Hold the horse, it's okay." Zhu Xu stood beside the carriage, holding on to the rope, with a calm expression.

There was already chaos inside and outside the palace gate, shouting and shouting, like the sky was falling and the earth was falling.

This is not the first time that an earthquake has occurred near the capital, it is the third time since Zhu Xu can remember.

This "shock" came and went quickly, and it didn't take long for the ground to calm down.

Zhu Xu beckoned and said, "It's all right, let's go into the palace."

Cao Wenzhao led the carriage, followed behind Zhu Xu, and said curiously: "Your Highness, how did you know that it was only for a short while?"

"experience."

Zhu Xu said in a perfunctory manner, but at the same time, he felt that there was an earthquake underground, and the ground was not very flat.

He had received news not long ago that a batch of vacancies in the court would be filled in the next few days.As the most powerful Donglin Party in the court, it naturally takes the greatest advantage.

But the Donglin Party is not monolithic, there are many hills, and they are constantly competing with each other.What's more, the remnants of the Chu Party, Zhejiang Party, Qi Party, and Kun Party other than the Donglin Party are also ready to move, not to mention that there is a Wei Zhongxian watching from the sidelines.

Chapter 150

It is true that the court is not peaceful, and the most disturbing thing is the position given by the officials.

Ke Dao is the general name of the six divisions and the thirteen supervision censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, commonly known as the two yamen.Among them, the six subjects are the most special.

On the one hand, the six divisions give advice to the emperor's left and right attendants in the matter, and make up for the missing items; However, it is "lower in quality but heavy in power".
