Domineering Daming

Chapter 167

The eunuch party and the Donglin party, such a blatant confrontation between the two parties, naturally cannot be hidden from anyone.

That night, the Kunning Palace was brightly lit, and there were only two people in the room.

Empress Zhang sat on the stool, staring at Zhu Xu indifferently.

Zhu Xu stood respectfully not far in front of her, lowered his head and bowed his waist, as if admitting his mistake.

After an unknown amount of time, Empress Zhang said in a cold tone, "I heard that you gave my father 5 taels of silver?"

Zhu Xu nodded quickly, and said, "Yes, the dividends from the chamber of commerce are just small money, small money."

Empress Zhang's face became colder, and she said, "Don't give me a hippie smile, did you spread the rumors outside?"

"No!" Zhu Xu flatly denied it.

Empress Zhang frowned, nodded thoughtfully, and then snorted coldly: "From now on, don't touch me in the matter of the court, do you hear me!?"

Zhu Xu straightened his body, and said as if reassuring: "It's the emperor's wife!"

Empress Zhang looked helplessly at Zhu Xu's tired and lazy appearance, stared at him for a while, and still said with a bad face: "Tomorrow I will send Zhang Yanyao to Yunwu Mountain outside the city, and you also give me a break."

Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly, and he immediately said loudly: "It's the emperor's wife, and everything is under the emperor's wife's command!"

Empress Zhang intuitively felt the pain in her temples was severe, she waved her hands and said, "Get out, you are not allowed to leave Jinghuan Palace without my permission during this period."

Zhu Xu blinked and said, "Sister-in-law, it will be the Duke's birthday in a few days..."

"Get out!" Queen Zhang's expression was serious.

Zhu Xu turned around and ran, quickly disappearing into Kunning Palace.

Not long after Zhu Xu left, Huan'er came in with a bowl of ginseng soup, put it in front of Queen Zhang, and said softly: "Madam, His Highness Hui Wang has always been like this, so don't get angry with him."

Empress Zhang rubbed her temples and sighed lightly, feeling a headache and said: "I can't understand the tricks of this stupid monkey more and more recently, I can't let him mess around anymore."

Huan'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Looking at what your mother said, it seems that His Highness has done something bad."

Empress Zhang looked at Huan'er, was stunned, then waved her hands and said, "Forget it, I can only hope that he will be an adult and drive him to the fief earlier, out of sight and out of mind."

Huan'er smiled coquettishly, and said: "When the time comes, I'm afraid the empress will not let it go."

Empress Zhang also smiled when she heard the words, stood up and said: "Okay, let's not talk about that stupid monkey, let's go, go to Qianqing Palace."

Huan'er responded softly, and arranged for someone to lead the empress to see the emperor.

Zhu Xu came out of Kunning Palace with his hands behind his back, looking calm, but the fingers of his right hand kept beating on the back of his left hand.

Empress Zhang seemed to have taught him a lesson, but she actually revealed a piece of news to him: She is going to do something to Zhang Yanyao tomorrow!

Cao Huachun carried a lamp in front and led the way carefully. Seeing that Zhu Xu had nothing to say all the way, he asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, what can the Empress reprimand you?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xu raised his head and looked down the road, and said with a smile: "No, it's just that the emperor's wife wants to help me." Zhu Xu said with a light smile, but his heart was a little heavy.Empress Zhang treated him like her own son, she was helping him quietly.

Although Empress Zhang didn't know what plans and arrangements he had, but Empress Zhang knew Zhu Xu very well, and deduced from the clues that he wanted to teach Wei Zhongxian a lesson, so he also wanted to deal with Zhang Yanyao in the palace at the same time.

Zhu Xu instinctively felt heavy in his heart, took a deep breath, and said: "When I go back, I will call Lao Cao. Tomorrow, I will teach Wei Zhongxian a profound lesson, so that he understands who to choose!"

Cao Huachun was about to agree before he finished listening to Zhu Xu's words, but he was stunned at the end, and said, "Your Highness, who should you choose?"

"It's okay, you go call for someone." Zhu Xu walked with his head upright, feeling that he was full of pride in his chest, and wanted to scream to the sky!

Jing Huan Palace, in Zhu Xu's study.

When the three of them gathered together, it was mainly Zhu Xu who was talking, and the other two added, and then they discussed. When the sky was getting dark, the two of them clasped their fists at Zhu Xu tremblingly and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will definitely complete the task!"

Zhu Xu stretched his waist, forced himself to smile and said, "Okay, you guys go, I should go to bed too."

Zhu Xu went to bed beautifully, but Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao hurried out of the palace.

This day is destined to be uneven.

The Donglin Party headed by Yang Lian launched the last attack on the Eunuch Party. In their view, they must either completely defeat the Eunuch Party, or fail and be expelled from the court by the Eunuch Party.

And Wei Zhongxian is also cruel at this moment, not only wants to clean up the remnants of Donglin, but also intends to launch an attack on Zhu Xu. In his opinion, as long as Yang Lian is defeated, it means that His Royal Highness King Hui is actually a strong outsider, and can't bear it. Blow down this mountain, no one will be able to threaten him in the future!

In the mansions of important ministers in the capital and the mansions of officials from all walks of life, almost everyone in the court and the opposition could not sleep this early in the morning.

Anyone who is a little sensitive in this battle will understand that this is a decisive battle, and which party wins means that the party in the court has the final say in the future!

In the Yang Mansion, Yang Lian put on his clothes under the care of the concubine's room, took all his things, and walked out the door with a resolute attitude.

His original wife, concubines, and even the housekeeper Ding stood by the door.They also know that today is the day that decides the fate of the Yang family!

Yang Lian's expression didn't change much, but the resentment was much less. He straightened his clothes and said lightly, "Okay, don't worry, just wait until I come back."

After speaking, Yang Lian calmly walked towards the gate as usual.

There are not many Donglin people who can still gain a foothold in the court, and they will all go to Miyagi together with Yang Lian in a sedan chair.

Wei Zhongxian stayed up all night, standing on the attic of the East Factory, looking at the palace gate.

Fu Yingxing yawned, but he didn't dare to be careless. He stood behind Wei Zhongxian and said sideways, "Uncle, do you want me to ask you one or two more?"

Wei Zhongxian stood there motionless, his face was as cold and hard as if he had been beaten all night, and his voice was calm but firm, and he said, "No need, let's wait."

Fu Yingxing hummed, but didn't say any more.

"If you were King Hui, how would you deal with it?" Suddenly, Wei Zhongxian turned to look at Fu Yingxing and asked.

Fu Yingxing was startled, then he thought about it and said: "If I were King Hui, I would go and cry to the emperor, and I must keep Yang Lian."

Wei Zhongxian frowned, turned his head and looked into the distance, and said indifferently: "King Hui will not do this, this is not his method. I have been thinking about what methods King Hui can use to deal with me. Now the emperor trusts me It’s so great, Zhang Xuan waiter is beating the side drum again, and I have wings like clouds outside the palace, what will he use to fight with me?”

Fu Yingxing echoed, "These kings of Hui are definitely not as good as uncle, I'm afraid he's playing dirty tricks."

"Sinister tricks?" Wei Zhongxian frowned, and then said with a sneer: "I was not on guard against him before, and was deceived by him. Now I, what kind of tricks can he play! With my power, what kind of tricks They can all be crushed!"

Fu Yingxing finally saw Wei Zhongxian's anxiety, and said calmly: "Uncle, don't worry, we owe everything to Dongfeng now, as long as today's court meeting starts, we will definitely win a big victory, and we will definitely win a big victory again. Don't be afraid of King Hui!"

Chapter 168

In the early morning of the next day, it was still very cold everywhere in the capital, and there were no people around.But as adults who were about to go to court, they sat in the sedan chair early and staggered straight to the palace gate.

Xu Dahua, who has just been transferred to be the Minister of Rites, can be said to be proud of himself now.He is slightly fatter, with a round face, and at first glance he looks like a good old man. At this moment, he is squinting, with his hands in his hands, and he is swaying with the sedan chair, as if he is dozing off.

Although he stayed up all night last night, but at the moment he was full of energy and didn't feel sleepy.
