Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said, "Dead?"

Liu Shimin said: "It was discovered early, and it was rescued."

Zhu Xu didn't have much memory of this person, after all, Zhu Youxiao was the emperor, and this old woman in her 60s was suppressed by the outer court so much that she couldn't hold her head up.

After thinking about it, Zhu Xu said, "Be careful, don't let her die."

Having already killed King Fu, and then killing my old lady, the reputation is too bad to spread the word.

Liu Shimin agreed, and just as he was about to leave, a servant appeared at the door and said loudly, "Report to the emperor, and the king is begging to see you."

Zhu Xu blinked, and said, "Biography."

Chapter 362

Zhu Xu was quite curious about Zhu Youjian's arrival at this time, and waited while flipping through the playbook.

Not long after, Zhu Youjian came, dressed in royal clothes, meticulous, imposing, and more dignified.

He walked in, bowed and said, "I have seen the emperor."

Zhu Xu smiled and said: "Your brother, you don't need to be too polite, Xiao Cao, move a stool for your brother."

Zhu Youjian had the most complicated thoughts about Zhu Xu in the entire Ming Dynasty. Looking at Zhu Xu, he did not sit down, organized his words, and said slowly and cautiously: "Your Majesty, I came here for the patrol camp to encircle King Zong's mansion. of."

Zhu Xu looked slightly solemn, nodded and said: "Well, Brother Huang still doesn't know the reason, um... because of Mrs. Zheng."

Regarding this Concubine Zheng, when it came to Tianqi, it was rarely mentioned, and many people had forgotten it.

Zhu Youjian was slightly stunned, and only remembered from King Fu, his expression changed, and his brows furrowed immediately.This Concubine Zheng made waves in the Wanli Dynasty, especially the "country-based dispute", which made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty know that this woman was ambitious and ruthless, which was extraordinary.

Although Zhu Xu didn't say it clearly, he could roughly guess the antecedent. After a moment of silence, he said: "Dare to ask the emperor, how many people are involved in it?"

Zhu Xu said: "From the Duke of Wei in Nanjing, the King of Lu in Shandong, to the Duke of England in the capital, they are all involved to varying degrees."

Zhu Youjian was startled in his heart, and only then did he understand what kind of danger Zhu Xu had experienced, and the resentment in his heart eased a little, and he said, "I understand. I don't know how the emperor plans to deal with the princes in the capital?"

Zhu Xu looked at him, and smiled calmly. The fifth brother probably didn't know the edicts he just issued, and asked calmly, "What does the emperor mean?"

Zhu Youjian had made up his mind a long time ago, and he still pretended to be thinking and said: "Your Majesty, the clan is the foundation of our great Ming Dynasty, and we cannot act rashly. I think that it is enough to let the kings hand over the land and private property, and wait for the investigation of King Fu's rebellion. One case, it can be returned to the fief."

Since they are all offended to death, there is no reason to let him go.

Zhu Xu remained expressionless, and said in a calm tone, "Brother Huang, are you planning to intervene in this matter?"

Zhu Youjian frowned slightly, bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, there have been many changes in my Ming Dynasty recently. If the capital is not stable, it may affect the world. Therefore, please make a quick decision."

Zhu Xu understood what Zhu Youjian meant, he came to pick peaches.

He squinted his eyes and looked at Zhu Youjian, and smiled to himself, my peaches are so easy to pick.

Tapping his fingers on the table, Zhu Xu fell silent.

Zhu Youjian saw that Zhu Xu didn't speak, and didn't speak any more, but he was quite disturbed.He holds this matter in his hands, although it is the best of both worlds, but it may not be able to satisfy Zhu Xu's heart, it just depends on how Zhu Xu decides.

Zhu Xushi didn't have anything to think about, so he deliberately left Zhu Youjian alone for a while, and said, "Brother Emperor, these are my royal scandals after all, and I don't want to publicize them. The matter of King Fu will stop here. I will order King Lu to patrol I will be dispatched by you temporarily, and you have been doing this matter from the beginning to the end, so I don't care about it, Brother Huang, can you understand what I mean?"

Zhu Youjian's expression suddenly changed. His original idea was to help Zhu Xu deal with the aftermath, to win Zhu Xu's favor, and on the other hand to get the gratitude of the princes and Qingliu's appreciation, to please both sides.

But Zhu Xu said so, but he did it from the beginning to the end?

This is a black pot!

Zhu Youjian stood there speechless. If this is the case, not only will Zhu Xu's side have no benefit, but the princes and even Qingliu's side will probably label him as a "disorderly government". Would you consider him a virtuous king and support him?

Zhu Xu didn't give him a chance, and called out a few times: "Brother Huang, Brother Huang..."

Zhu Youjian came to his senses, his face was red and purple, his lips moved, but he couldn't speak. He came here to ask the order to deal with this matter. He has no reason to shirk it?

Zhu Xu stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, let's go, I have great trust in Brother Huang's ability, and I will definitely handle it well."

Zhu Youjian struggled in his heart, hesitated again and again, and bit the bullet and left the imperial study.

Zhu Youjian returned to the Imperial Study Room, and as soon as Zhu Xu said what he said, the whole Wenzhao Pavilion fell silent.

Wen Tiren had already left the palace, Zhou Yanru said with a sullen face: "My lord, Wen Tiren is the most opportunistic person, and now we, Wen Zhaoge, are in a dilemma! If I had intervened early as I said before, the outer court would definitely not think that the lord is leading behind the scenes! "

Qian Longxi and the others didn't speak. I believe that Wang really wants to do this. The image of "virtuous king" that he worked so hard to build before will collapse. Supported.

Thinking about Zhou Yanru's words, Zhu Youjian sighed softly, "I regret that I didn't listen to Zhou Qing's words earlier. Now we, Wen Zhaoge, have no choice but to explain as much as possible."

Zhou Yanru was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Youjian's words, and hurriedly said: "My lord, this matter is not difficult. First of all, we, Wen Zhaoge, have to make a gesture of dealing with the aftermath. Everything is about dealing with this matter, and don't involve other things. , Cut the mess quickly, don't let the situation continue to expand. If there is any trouble, it can be easily resolved."

Qian Longxi walked closer to Zhou Yanru, and followed suit: "My lord, that's the only way to go, hurry up, don't make any more troubles, let's settle it first and then talk about it."

Shi Fenglai and the others saw that Qian Longxi and Zhou Yanru were about to sway the king after they sang a peace, so they interrupted, saying: "My lord, I'd better invite Mrs. Wen to discuss it together and find a safe solution."

Zhu Youjian was already disappointed with Wen Tiren in his heart. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Well, send someone to invite Mr. Wen."

Wen Tiren received the letter, and soon came to Wenzhao Pavilion, bowed to King Xin and said, "Your Majesty has seen the lord."

Zhu Youjian sat there, nodding slightly.

Wen Tiren was taken aback by Zhu Youjian's attitude. He didn't know what happened, so he couldn't help but look at other people.They all looked sombre, and they couldn't help but secretly thought it was bad.

Zhou Yanru sneered secretly, but on the surface he said solemnly: "Master Wen, not long ago, the prince went to see the emperor to ask for an order, and the emperor asked the prince to take care of everything."

"Take care of everything?"

Wen Tiren chewed this sentence, his face was startled, and he said: "My lord, the emperor is saying that you want my lord to admit that you killed King Fu and surrounded the residences of the princes?"

Zhou Yanru was very happy in his heart, staring at Wen Tiren's shocked expression, said: "That's right."

Wen Tiren finally understood why King Xin was so indifferent today, and he began to think quickly in his heart.

This crime is too big, for the emperor who is used to being "willful", it has no effect, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will not be surprised, but for King Xin, the blow is too great!

Once it gets out, the fame will be ruined!

Without the trust of the emperor above and the support of Qingliu below, then King Xin is like a castle in the air and will fall down at any time!

Wen Tiren frowned, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

Zhu Youjian sat there, seeing Wen Tiren's silence for a long time, he said impatiently: "Master Wen, what can I do?"

This sentence "Lord Wen" surprised Wen Tiren. Looking at Zhu Youjian's indifferent expression, he knew that if there was nothing to do today, he might not be able to be trusted by King Xin anymore.

But this matter is inherently in a dilemma, and it is impossible to have the best of both worlds.
