Domineering Daming

"It's the emperor."

Liu Shimin glanced at Zhu Youxiao, agreed, and sent someone to summon Ye Xianggao.

Less than half an hour after Zhu Xu entered the palace, the emperor's imperial decree came out through the cabinet.

General meaning: Zhou Jianzong and others were acquitted and comforted, Wei Zhongxian was exempted from the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, and sent out of the palace to Yunnan to purchase nanmu, and moved to Yunwu Mountain outside the city with his wife.Liu Shimin served as the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, and the admiral of the East Factory.

Listening to Cao Huachun's return, Zhu Xu shook his head secretly, "This is the result of the negotiation between the emperor and the first assistant. Both sides gave in, but the root of the trouble is here. If Qingliu is happy, it's still too early."

"Your Highness." Yao Qingqing made a cup of tea for Zhu Xu, and said, "How should we arrange dinner?"

Zhu Xu looked around and praised, sure enough, having a woman in the family is different, everything is clean and tidy, it looks like a home, and now someone arranges how to eat.

Zhu Xu thought for a while, then suddenly looked at her and said, "I was always delivered by the imperial dining room before. Do you know how to cook? If so, let's do it ourselves."

"I will do some." Yao Qingqing said softly.Every move is full of courtesy.

"Okay, then you do it, everything in this palace, except this king's bedroom, you can come in and out as you please." Zhu Xu said with a smile.

Yao Qingqing was still very restrained, glanced at Cao Huachun, bowed slightly, turned and walked in.

Zhu Xu stretched his waist, looked at Cao Huachun in front of him and said, "You can relax for a while now, Xiao Cao, how close you are to Eunuch Liu." Eunuch Liu is the new eunuch Liu Shimin.

"It's Your Highness." Although Cao Huachun didn't know what to do, he still agreed.

Zhu Xu lay on the couch, squinted his eyes and looked outside, and whispered: "The eunuchs are down for the time being, and now it's the Qingliu's turn to fight internally. However, you let the emperor hold such a breath, and this breath will come out sooner or later." , you will feel uncomfortable once you leave..."

Sure enough, there was an earthquake in the court the next day.

Zhang Wenda, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Yao Siren, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Guozuo, a scholar of the Wuyingdian University, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, including the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, and so on. I didn't play the trick of three ups and three rejections, and agreed to all of them in one go!

Wei Guanghui and Gu Bingqian went up at the same time, and the other eunuchs also had different promotions, which added oil to the court discussion that seemed to be calming down just now, and made it burn even more fiercely.

As a result, Qingliu naturally refused to agree, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate turned the party struggle into an attack on the emperor in an instant. Zhu Youxiao was naturally furious and wanted to severely punish the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but was stopped by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. It ended with the left and right censors seizing the salary for three months.

"Sure enough, it was a good show." Zhu Xu was amazed. He wanted to explain that the emperors before the court were masters in controlling the court. Among other things, their grandfather, Emperor Wanli, had not been in court for more than 20 years, and there was no one there. How dare you bully him like that.

However, Emperor Tianqi did not like government affairs, and the later Emperor Chongzhen was diligent in politics, so he abolished the Jinyiwei and lost the tools to control the courtiers.

Zhu Xu was also powerless to deal with these, taking advantage of the emperor's upset and not having time to discuss "academic" issues with him, he stayed with the queen for a while, and then found an excuse to slip out of the palace.

Just after lunch in the afternoon, Zhu Xu quietly came to the house of his uncle Fu Changzong.

Fu Changzong's expression was slightly condensed, and he always felt that Zhu Xu's matter was a slant, and there would be no good results.But they share weal and woe, Zhu Xu is still His Royal Highness Hui Wang, his own position is arranged by Zhu Xu, and he doesn't have much confidence.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "You don't need to come forward for this matter. I will do it. If it happens, I will bear it alone. I guess no one will think that you are behind it."

Zhu Xu chuckled, it wasn't unexpected, but because he was too young to plan these things in the eyes of ordinary people.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Xu said: "That's fine, don't talk too much, as long as he nods, we can make arrangements."

Fu Changzong nodded, he glanced at Zhu Xu, and suddenly a strange thought arose in his heart, but soon his body became cold, and he shook his head, throwing this terrible thought to the back of his mind, calmed down, and slowly Tun Tun said: "The scale must be small, just for research and examination, and not too many can be produced."

Zhu Xu naturally understood Fu Changzong's concerns, and nodded without hesitation, but secretly said in his heart, "Once it is established, I will have the final say."

Fu Changzong suppressed his flustered mind and discussed the details with Zhu Xu. Finally, Fu Changzong asked someone to invite this Lord Bi who had just obtained the emperor's consent to resign and return home.

When Bi Maokang received Fu Changzong's invitation, he sat in the lobby and meditated with a strange look on his face.

The two parties were fighting each other, and he was a fish in the pond. Not only was his resignation approved, but he was also deprived of the treatment of returning home.Now it doesn't look like he is actively begging for a rest, but more like being dismissed.

It stands to reason that no one should approach him in this situation, especially a head of the household department who has only met a few times.

"Master, what's the matter, do you have a headache?" Bi Maokang's wife came out, reaching out to touch Bi Maokang's head.

"It's okay, I received an invitation from my colleague." Bi Maokang said, letting his wife do what he did, and frowned unconsciously.

Bi Maokang and his wife are baby relatives. The wife is a peasant girl, rude, reckless, and ignorant of etiquette. It stands to reason that she is not suitable for him, a literati who came from a Jinshi background. He will never forget the hardships he endured all his life. The most important thing is that Mrs. Bi devoted herself wholeheartedly to him, and even saved his life from being stabbed by bandits for him.

So even though he and Yao Qingqing were in agreement, he still didn't dare to marry her back for fear of hurting his wife's heart.

"Then let's go." Madam Bi sat down across from him carelessly, and said, "Anyway, we are going back to our hometown, and maybe we won't see each other in the future."

Naturally, Bi Maokang would not tell his wife the details, so after thinking about it, he said to her, "Don't rush to clean up, wait until I come back."

After Bi Maokang finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside, thinking about Yao Qingqing in his heart.

Chapter 19 The Second Impeachment

Bi Maokang came to Fu Mansion in a carriage, looking at the low-key gate, Bi Maokang was full of suspicion.I don't know what this royal family member is doing with him, who has resigned from office.

However, he still suppressed his doubts and walked into Fu's residence.

"Excuse me... Caomin has met Mr. Fu." Bi Maokang saluted Fu Changzong respectfully.

Fu Changzong waved his hands with a smile, and said, "Brother Bi, why bother to be so ignorant, I'm here to see you for business."

Although Bi Maokang was full of doubts, he still held his temper and said: "Why is Mr. Fu looking for Bi?"

Fu Changzong motioned for Bi Maokang to sit down, and said with a smile, "Brother Bi, do it first, come and serve tea."

Bi Maokang frowned slightly, and sat down on the lower right of Fu Changzong.

Zhu Xu sat behind the two of them across a wall, eating cakes and reading a book, feeling extremely comfortable.He only brought two guards with him when he went out of the palace this time, so he didn't care about his appearance, and just rubbed the oil on his clothes casually.

The servant served tea, but was quickly waved away by Fu Changzong. Both of them took a sip, and Fu Changzong smiled and said, "Brother Bi, how about this tea? This is a reward from the empress to His Royal Highness Hui Wang. Give it to me."

Bi Maokang nodded and said, "The best Longjing well is indeed a tribute."

"Brother Bi is indeed a tea lover." Fu Changzong echoed.

Zhu Xu shook his head as he listened from behind, slandering to himself, these ancients like to engage in some boring foreplay.

The two chatted back and forth for a while, and then Fu Changzong looked up at Bi Maokang and said meaningfully: "Brother Bi, what do you think of the recent court affairs?"

Although Bi Maokang was not one of the participants, who in the entire capital would not know about such a big event, he shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I don't know, I'm one of the fish in the pool now."

Fu Changzong shook his head with a smile, and said: "Brother Bi, do you really think that the emperor agreed to your resignation in a fit of anger?"

Bi Maokang was startled, looked at Fu Changzong and said, "Isn't it?"

With a calm expression and a deep smile, Fu Changzong took out a piece of yellow rice paper from his arms, handed it to Bi Maokang, and said, "Brother Bi, you might as well take a look at this first."

Bi Maokang frowned slightly, and the doubts in his heart did not diminish. He took it and opened it, and suddenly his face changed drastically.

"Manchuria is less than ten thousand, full ten thousand is invincible, I am very worried."

"Wen Qing is good at firearms, he is the nemesis of cavalry."
