Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu raised his brows, Zhu Youjian spoke cautiously, simply speaking, he wanted him to admit his mistake.

Whether it was Wang Chengen, who was kneeling on the ground, or Cao Huachun, who was standing, their faces changed slightly. Zhu Xu was not Tianqi, and he would never do such a thing.

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, glanced at Zhu Youjian, smiled slightly and said, "Brother Huang, do you think I will agree?"

Zhu Youjian's face was indifferent, and he regretted what he said with Jiu Jin before, and now he could only respond in silence.

Seeing that Zhu Youjian was silent, Zhu Xu smiled inwardly, but sighed on his face, and said, "Brother Emperor, I might as well tell you the truth. Whether it's the Donglin Party, or the Zhejiang Party, or the Soviet Party, I don't care. Let them go to the court again. Since the beginning of Wanli, party struggles are getting better day by day, and all major events in the world involve party struggles. Therefore, I am determined not to let any party member enter the court again. In this dynasty, it is strictly forbidden to marry party!"

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Xu and was stunned. He expected Zhu Xu to have many means, including driving him out of the capital, but he didn't expect such a heart-to-heart confession.

He also agrees with Zhu Xu's words in his heart. It's not that he doesn't understand the scourge of the party's imprisonment. It's just that the people of Donglin have the strength of character, talent and learning, and they are good ministers who rule the world.

Although he agreed with Zhu Xu's words in his heart, he still couldn't accept it, so he remained silent.

Seeing his changing expression, Zhu Xu laughed secretly, stood up, and said solemnly: "Brother Emperor, these days, I have been reflecting on the last words of the late emperor, and finally I thought of a way. I plan to appoint You are the prime minister of the cabinet, the six ministries of the prime minister and the government affairs of the world, so it is justified. I have given you the power to supervise the country, and you don’t need to report to me for non-important matters, but you can decide on your own!”

Zhu Youjian's face changed drastically, he stared at Zhu Xu with wide eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, is it true?"

Zhu Xu's face was full of sincerity, and he said: "My brother and I are both descendants of the Taizu, and we have the ambition to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty. I am stronger than my brother, not weaker! You and my brother should work together to achieve a great cause!"

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Xu's face, although he didn't know what Zhu Xu was thinking, but just these few words were enough to make his heart surge and his pride surge.

Pfft!

He knelt down violently, and said in a deep voice: "I wish to be so heartbroken that I will never fail the emperor's entrustment!"

Zhu Xu smiled and nodded, helped Zhu Youjian up, and said: "You and my brother, from now on, we will work together to prosper Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Youjian couldn't help himself, bowed his body and said: "Yes, I ask the emperor to rest assured, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate!"

Kneeling on the ground, Wang Chengen didn't know why, but he always felt cold and trembling all over.

On the other hand, Cao Huachun, who was not far from Zhu Xu, had a smile on his lips, and thought to himself, "It's settled on King Xin's side."

Zhu Xu smiled on his face, and also smiled in his heart. In the past, Zhu Youjian had no reputation in the cabinet, but now he only has a reputation, and the rest is the same.

The two brothers talked for a while before Zhu Xu came out from Prince Xin's Mansion.

As soon as Zhu Xu left, Princess Zhou rushed over and said nervously, "Your Highness, Your Majesty, what did you say?"

She couldn't help but not be nervous, if this matter were placed at other times, it would be enough to kill the nine clans!

Zhu Youjian's relaxed expression also tightened, and he frowned slightly and said, "It's okay, the emperor didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about crimes."

He said so, but he was not so relaxed in his heart. After all, Zhu Xu was not an ordinary person, and he still couldn't figure out why Zhu Xu made this trip and what his real intention was.

On the way back, the night was quiet and the cool breeze was blowing, giving people a strange tranquility.

Zhu Xu was in a very happy mood with his hands behind his back.

"What Concubine Liu said is right."

He couldn't help feeling that he had been at the forefront these days, opposing the ministers, which caused such a big disturbance.

"You still have to keep a low profile and moisten things silently."

Zhu Xu summed up his insights as he walked.

Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao followed behind, seemingly unaware of Zhu Xu's words.

Zhu Xu was not in a hurry to return to the palace, so he walked slowly, while looking at the stars, while relieving the pressure accumulated in recent days.

After a long time, Cao Huachun suddenly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, someone is here."

Hearing this, Zhu Xu looked up and saw a lantern approaching with two figures.

Soon, Cao Bianjiao stepped forward and said, "It's Wei Zhongxian."

Wei Zhongxian walked over quickly, bowed and said: "My servant pays homage to the emperor."

Zhu Xu sized him up and said, "Something happened?"

Wei Zhongxian bowed and said, "Yes, Eunuch Liu met Zuo Guangdou in a tea house when he left the palace. I don't know the content of the conversation. However, Zuo Guangdou went to see Wang Wenyan before."

Zhu Xu's expression moved, and he wanted to laugh but didn't.

He had heard people say before that there was a five-person theory, saying that if you want to know someone, you can only get through five people at most, but in Daming at this time, this theory has been greatly reduced.

Zhu Xu didn't think Liu Shimin would do anything irrational, so he suddenly turned his head to look at Cao Huachun and said, "Who did you meet again today?"

Cao Huachun's expression was tangled, and he said with a wry smile: "Back to the emperor, he is my elder brother. He received the favor of the Shen family in Nanjing. Elder Ye Ge and the Shen family are relatives by marriage."

Zhu Xu was amazed in his heart, that is, members of the Donglin Party, who considered themselves "gentlemen", if they were a bunch of evil parties, they might have changed the world a long time ago.

Chapter 253 Uncontrollable Fear

Zhu Xu's good mood lost more than half, he waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about it, go back to the palace and sleep."

Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao didn't say anything else, and they walked towards the gate of the palace with the guard Zhu Xu.

Wei Zhongxian stood where he was, looked at Zhu Xu's back, and remained silent for a long time.

Fu Yingxing who was holding the lantern was puzzled, and said, "Uncle, Your Majesty, is he really not worried at all?"

Wei Zhongxian's expression was cold, and his tone was indifferent: "This matter can't trouble the emperor."

Fu Yingxing became even more puzzled, and said, "Then, uncle, what are you doing here to see the emperor?"

Wei Zhongxian's eyes flashed, and he said: "I'm worried that the emperor will be impulsive and want to kill you."

Since Zhu Di, there has been basically no "slaughter" of courtiers in Ming Dynasty.But Fu Yingxing still felt inexplicably cold when he heard Wei Zhongxian's words.

After Zhu Xu returned to the palace, he went straight to Jingyang Palace and fell asleep without changing his clothes.

In recent days, he has spent a lot of effort, and he always feels a little exhausted.

He fell asleep, but Liu Shimin couldn't.

In his room, with the lights on, he looked dazed.

It is not empty talk that Wang Wenyan makes friends all over the world. Although Liu Shimin is an internal eunuch, he has no connection with the outer court. Wang Wenyan is the most important person!

Wang Wenyan was born recklessly, with chivalry, this kind of daring chivalry made him a fish in water in the weird officialdom of Daming, made friends with countless high-ranking officials, and even extended to the servants!

Liu Shimin was in a trance, he owed Wang Wenyan a grown-up request - Wang Wenyan once saved his mother's life!

In the era of filial piety, Liu Shimin could hardly refuse Wang Wenyan!
