Domineering Daming

"It's Your Highness." Cao Huachun said.

In the next few days, except for a few of Cao Wenzhao's subordinates who often left the palace for reasonable reasons, the entire Jinghuan Palace, like other palaces, was honest and did not exceed the rules at all.

However, it was beyond Zhu Xu's expectations. I thought Zhu Youxiao would have a lot of moves, but the Jingyang Palace was a little strangely quiet.Zhu Youxiao was exceptionally diligent in administration, and even put down a lot of carpentry.

This made Zhu Xu more suspicious, but he couldn't find any clues.

Zhu Xu stood in front of Jinghuan Palace, looking at the sky outside, thinking silently.

"Your Highness." Cao Wenzhao walked behind Zhu Xu and said in a low voice, "Zhou Jianyu wants to see you."

"Zhou Jianyu?" Zhu Xu was startled, he almost forgot about this person, and immediately asked, "What's the matter with him?"

Cao Wenzhao said: "It was Ni Wenhuan. He found Zhou Jianyu through Luo Sigong, and Zhou Jianyu sent someone to find me."

Ni Wenhuan?

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows. This is one of Wei Zhongxian's "Five Tigers" in the future. Under his pen, six ministers, censors, feudal officials, and even cabinet ministers were all impeached and then imprisoned to death!

He is Wei Zhongxian's sharpest knife!

"Did he say anything?" Zhu Xu thought about Ni Wenhuan's intentions.

The last time Qingliu was victorious, Wei Zhongxian and other eunuchs were kicked out of the palace. Gu Bingqian and others were rarely implicated because they were foreign ministers. Zhu Youxiao was promoted because of his rebellious psychology. The good team turned against Qingliu instead, so life in the Metropolitan Procuratorate may not be easy.

"His brother-in-law is Yuanwailang, a member of the Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry. He privately forged an illegal ship, which was captured by Jin Yiwei, and is now imprisoned in Beizhen Fusi Prison."

Cao Wenzhao said: "It is estimated that he went to the doctor in a hurry and found us."

Zhu Xu thought about it, and said, "What is his certificate?"

"He didn't say anything." Cao Wenzhao said, "He said he would only tell the person behind the scenes. I heard it's a big secret. Your Highness, shall we go see him?"

Zhu Xu smiled slightly, and said: "Not to mention how many people are staring at the palace now, but Luo Sigong's old fox is probably waiting for me to trick him."

Chapter 23 Ni Wenhuan

"So, what should we do?"

Cao Wenzhao thought for a while, then looked at Zhu Xu and asked.

Zhu Xu thought for a while, and said: "I'll write a letter to you, and you take it to Zhang Shangshu, and ask him to come forward to bail this person out, and then talk to Zhou Jianyu to see this Ni Yushi's nomination certificate." Is it worth the money."

Cao Wenzhao was stunned, and immediately said: "His Royal Highness, is the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Wenda?"

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile, and said, "Don't worry if he won't go, he still needs my nod if he wants to leave Beijing now."

Cao Wenzhao was overjoyed when he heard that, and said: "That's the best, so that His Highness doesn't need to show up, and you don't have to worry about being found out by that old fox Luo Sigong."

Zhu Xu quickly wrote a letter, handed it to Cao Wenzhao, and explained carefully: "At that time, if he asks for any conditions, he can agree to it, hehe, as long as he helps me this time, he will not be able to refuse next time. gone."

Cao Wenzhao had always admired Zhu Xu's exhaustive strategy, and immediately said after receiving the letter, "Your subordinate will send someone there."

Zhu Xu waved his hand, turned and entered the room, Cao Huachun not far away immediately followed.

"Where is the emperor now?" Zhu Xu asked casually.

"Report to Your Highness." Cao Huachun lowered his voice, and said, "The emperor is in the imperial study during the day, and returns to the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace at night. Occasionally, the empress will go there, and other times he is alone."

Zhu Xu could feel that something must have happened around Zhu Youxiao and who was hiding.But no matter how he tried, he didn't have a clue, even Queen Zhang didn't leak a word.

Zhu Xu was lying on the couch, looking at the beams of the roof, thinking in his heart, and said to himself: "I have to find a way."

……

……

East of the city, Zhang Mansion.

The mansion was full of people coming and going, moving to and fro, busy and bustling, as if they were moving.

Zhang Wenda had just been approved to become an official, and he couldn't wait to return home.

At this moment, he was dressed in home clothes, sitting on a chair, looking at Zhu Xu's letter next to him, with a strange expression on his face.

The butler walked out from the side door, looked at Zhang Wenda's expression, walked over and said respectfully, "Master, is this a letter from His Royal Highness Hui?"

The corner of Zhang Wenda's mouth twitched slightly, a half-smile was not a smile, his expression was very strange, and he said, "Your Highness asked me to go to Jinyiwei to protect him alone."

The housekeeper's expression is also very strange at the moment, his master is in such a high position as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and there are not many people who entertain guests, but it is the first time that such a letter undoubtedly asks his master to go to protect someone.

It took a long time for the housekeeper to gather his emotions, looked at Zhang Wenda and said, "Master, do you want to reply politely?"

Zhang Wenda shook his head slightly, and said: "I have already resigned, and I am going back to my hometown. No matter who the Highness has entrusted before, if I refuse this time, it is likely that I will not be able to leave."

The housekeeper's eyes widened immediately, and he said, "Master, are you really going to Jinyiwei to protect the people?" He couldn't help being surprised, this was the first time his master promised someone else to hire a guarantor in more than ten years.

Zhang Wenda was actually very weird in his heart, but Zhu Xu just gave him such a letter, and he couldn't refuse it!

After a long while, Zhang Wenda stood up and said: "I'll write a letter, you send it to Luo's mansion in person, and meet Luo Sigong, he will sell me this face."

The housekeeper was still awkward, but he had no choice but to nod.

Soon, a strange atmosphere appeared in Luo's mansion again.

Luo Sigong looked at Zhang Wenda's post, and the words in it were very simple, to protect Ni Wenhuan's brother-in-law.

Luo Sigong's eyes were like eagles, squinting, flashing a cold light.

"My lord, what is the meaning of this Shangshu?"

Standing beside him was a middle-aged man, dressed in brocade and python clothes, frowning as he looked at the post in Luo Sigong's hand.

It took Luo Sigong a long time to sneer, and said: "Yang Zhe, it seems that the people behind this are really not simple. Even Zhang Wenda, who is known as the cold-faced minister, ordered him to move. This time, we have stunned the snake."

The middle-aged man frowned even tighter, bowed his body, and said thoughtfully: "My lord, is the person behind this an enemy or a friend?"

Luo Sigong thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "Zhang Shangshu has to sell his face, Yang Zhe, you go pick him up yourself, and just release him. Don't worry about the rest, and all the staff will be withdrawn."

Yang Zhe, the commander of Jinyiwei, is the actual controller of Jinyiwei.

Hearing this, he immediately said: "It's my lord, I'll do it now."

Looking at Yang Zhe's back, Luo Sigong felt a little cold in his heart, stared at the night like an arrow, and whispered silently: "Who the hell is it that even invited Zhang Shangshu..."

Less than a stick of incense time.

"Treasurer Zhou, you drink tea."
