Zhu Xu looked at it for a while, and suddenly thought of the allusion to the red sleeves adding fragrance, he couldn't help but said to himself: "Yao Qingqing probably didn't sleep, should I wake her up and read it to me?"

Then he shook his head again, Yao Qingqing was not his red sleeve.

Chapter 31 Trapped Beast

Since ancient times, the harem has been the bloodiest place.It often seems peaceful, but it is full of murderous intentions.

Three days in a row, Feng Guiren's miscarriage seemed to have never happened.Emperor Zhu Youxiao only went to see it once, and then, as Cao Huachun thought, it was nothing.

Zhu Xu also sighed, Feng Guiren managed to save his life, but it was originally said that he was directly executed by the Ke family.

For the past few days, he has been honestly staying in the study and reading. Empress Zhang has obviously noticed something, and has sent people to check the palace several times in the past few days, for fear that there may be some poison.And the emperor brother began to focus on the court, and Ye Xianggao had already signed up to be an official.One radish and one hole, the scramble for court is about to begin again.

Zhu Xu was lying on the rocking chair, flipping through an isolated book of the Song Dynasty while eating pastries.

"Your Highness, there is a letter from Zhou Jianyu." Cao Wenzhao walked in from the outside and said excitedly.

Ni Wenhuan and Zhou Yingqiu are good friends and both are Wei Zhongxian's capable generals. One is one of the five tigers and the other is the head of the ten dogs.

Zhu Xu raised his head and smiled, and said, "What's the good news?"

Standing in front of Zhu Xu, Cao Wenzhao handed the notebook written by Ni Wenhuan to Zhu Xu, and said, "Look, Your Highness, Zhou Yingqiu, that old man, actually wants to go to Nanjing to be the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites."

The previous turmoil led to the resignation of four or five of the six ministers in the northern and southern capitals, and it happened that one of them was the Minister of Rites in Nanjing.

Zhu Xu took a brief look, then smiled and said, "He is advancing in retreat, and wants to escape."

Cao Wenzhao was quite apprehensive about the methods of this old man, looking at Zhu Xu eager to try, he said, "Your Highness, what should we do, or take the opportunity to take him down, so that he can never recover?"

Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "No, he won't die until he reaches the Yellow River."

At the same time, he was also thinking to himself, if Zhou Yingqiu asks Ni Wenhuan to take over the book at this time, he probably won't let him go, and probably let him join forces with Gu Bingqian, Wei Guanghui and others to balance Han Yu who will soon take over as chief assistant. .

Zhou Yingqiu should have expected this too, so maybe there is something behind him?

But whatever you have behind you, keep it.

Zhu Xu turned around in his heart, raised his head and said to Cao Wenzhao: "You ask Wu Tian to take someone to Zhou Yingqiu's mansion, just say to investigate his appointment as buying and selling officials, don't say anything else." , He secretly said again in his heart, "Brother Huang, please thank me, this Zhou Yingqiu is a big trouble, I will take care of it for you, Brother Huang."

Cao Wenzhao knew that Zhu Xu was putting pressure on that surnamed Zhou, and quickly responded: "Yes, I will do it right away, but, Your Highness, if you do this, he will really give in and stop playing tricks, Mr. Are you honestly going back to your hometown?"

"Going home? That's what he thought was too good."

Zhu Xu sneered, stood up and moved his body.He didn't want Zhang Wenda and others to leave the capital because they were all honest and capable people, not to mention that they would be used again in the future, but staying in the capital would be a great help.And Zhou Yingqiu's return to his hometown this week is to let the tiger go back to the mountain, he will not do such a thing.

Cao Wenzhao didn't know what Zhu Xu was up to, so after thinking about it, he turned around and followed Zhu Xu's orders.

Two hours later, Ni Mansion.

Ni Wenhuan sat opposite Zhou Yingqiu, and Zhou Yingqiu looked sluggish at the moment, mocking himself.

There was food and wine between the two of them, all of which were home-cooked dishes, which showed that they were very close.

Zhou Yingqiu drank a lot, sighed half drunk and awake: "Brother Ni, Master Gu, Master Wei have not seen me."

"Brother Zhou, why should you care about it? It's just a small setback now. You and I are both born as Jinshi who have passed the test, so don't be discouraged." Ni Wenhuan persuaded with a look of friends and friends, and accompanied him to drink.But he secretly said in his heart, "Gu Bingqian, Wei Guanghui is highly valued by the emperor now, and he will join the cabinet soon, how could he see you, a right and wrong person at this time."

Zhou Yingqiu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I think that I, Zhou, also entered the imperial court and entered the imperial study, but now I am down and out. I didn't expect that Brother Ni is the only one who can drink. The world is hot and cold, but that's it."

Ni Wenhuan looked at him, his eyes moved slightly, and he seemed to have no intention of saying: "Brother Zhou, dare to ask, was eunuch Wei really robbed in your house?"

Zhou Yingqiu looked even more bitter, shook his head and said: "Brother Ni will believe such rumors? I have dozens of strong and powerful family members. Who dares to break into my mansion and rob people? Could it be that they want to rebel?"

However, Ni Wenhuan believed that there would be no waves without wind, and he also knew that eunuch Wei had sneaked back to the capital in secret, and he remained silent for a while, saying, "Brother Zhou, if Jin Yiwei turns over the old score, I'm afraid the emperor will have to take care of it, this book of yours..."

Zhou Yingqiu waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry to bother Brother Ni, it doesn't matter if I don't make it, but now I only want to leave Beijing safely, so I don't have any other extravagant hopes."

Ni Wenhuan narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew very well who Zhou Yingqiu was, and he didn't come to his house just to find someone to drink away his worries, probably there was some reason.

Ni Wenhuan thought in his mind, besides his status as a censor, what else could Zhou Yingqiu miss?

Suddenly, Ni Wenhuan's body trembled, and he thought of his "master" whom he had never met.

Ni Wenhuan remained calm, drank with Zhou Yingqiu, and listened to his whining.

Zhou Yingqiu saw that Ni Wenhuan didn't get into the trap for a long time, guessing that he probably already understood, so he looked at Ni Wenhuan with a drunken eye and said, "Brother Ni, I am desperate now, if there is a way, please help me, brother, there will be great rewards in the future." !"

Ni Wenhuan smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "Brother Zhou, my master is not an ordinary person, and that is really expensive."

The reason why Zhou Yingqiu came to Ni Wenhuan's residence was that it was found out that Ni Wenhuan's wife and brother were the former Minister of Officials, Zhang Wenda, and he guessed that the person who could invite Zhang Wenda must be a nobleman in the palace!

Zhou Yingqiu's eyes were still drunk, as if he was talking drunk, and said: "Brother Ni, don't worry, once you have a request, you can do anything." As he spoke, he took out a stack of bank notes from his bosom and pushed them to Ni Wenhuan.

Ni Wenhuan glanced at the bank note, his eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he paused and said, "Brother Zhou, you might as well go to sleep first, I'll take you to see someone tonight."

"Meet people? Okay, let's meet people then." Zhou Yingqiu seemed to be unable to hold on anymore, and fell down on the table all of a sudden, as if he had committed a crime.

Ni Wenhuan asked Zhou Yingqiu to be helped to the wing, and then wrote a letter for his servants to deliver to Zhou's silk and satin shop.

When Zhou Jianyu received the letter, he naturally transferred it to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu opened the letter and looked at the letter written by Ni Wenhuan, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

Cao Wenzhao saw that Zhu Xu was smiling, and also laughed along with him, "Your Highness, what are you writing?"

"Here, I've taken the bait." Zhu Xu smiled and threw the letter to Cao Wenzhao.

After Cao Wenzhao read the letter, he looked at Zhu Xu with bright eyes and said, "Your Highness, Zhou Yingqiu wants to join us?"

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said: "This old dog can't do anything serious, what do you want him to do."

Cao Wenzhao was confused, he didn't know what purpose Zhu Xu had done so much, he hesitated and said, "Then Your Highness..."

Zhu Xu sat up, held his chin for a while, and said, "Let Zhou Jianyu go to see him, let him write a letter of loyalty, and then let Wei Zhongxian escape."

Cao Wenzhao quickly figured out what Zhu Xu meant, and said, "Your Highness, are you trying to trap him? Yes, I'll arrange it now."

Zhu Xu smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to the direction of Xian'an Palace. After dealing with Zhou Yingqiu, the old hag was next.

Chapter 32

Royal study.

Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch who was formerly the supervisor of ceremonies, had a gray face, disheveled hair, and ragged clothes kneeling in front of Zhu Youxiao, crying loudly.

"Your Majesty, this servant is here to run errands for you. There are no robbers in this capital city. It is clear that those rebellious ministers in the court do not want the emperor to govern personally, and try every means to obstruct and torture the servant..."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian with a gloomy face and said nothing.
