Domineering Daming

The old concubine could see that Zhu Xu didn't have much objection. She was curious and wanted to match her up more and more. Although the young lady of the Zhang family could not become a queen, it would be a good thing if she could enrich the harem and give birth to a prince sooner.

In her opinion, if the emperor had heirs, that would be truly as stable as Mount Tai.

Zhu Xu didn't pay much attention to these things. He listened to the old concubine's "nagging" in his ear, knew her thoughts, and nodded with a smile from time to time. Through the mouths of these fateful wives, some messages from the palace are passed on to the outside world.

Sitting with Zhu Xu, it took a while for the old concubine to stop talking, and said to a group of wives: "The emperor is here today, and he is setting up a banquet in the palace. Everyone stays here and makes a fuss as much as you want."

How dare these people refuse, they all responded "yes".

The old concubine explained a few more words, and then brought Zhu Xu and Empress Dowager Zhang to the back, followed by Concubine Xin Zhou.

As soon as she walked inside, Princess Xin suddenly knelt down with a plop, kowtowed vigorously, and said loudly: "Please the emperor spare the life of the prince, and the concubine is willing to replace it with her own body!"

Zhu Xu frowned, and looked up at the old concubine and Queen Mother Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang sat on the soft bed, wrapped in thick clothes, with a calm expression and did not speak.

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned, but did not make a sound.

Obviously also caught off guard.

This matter is not only an internal matter of the royal family, but also involves government affairs.This is what these women must not interfere with, talkative.

Zhu Xu knew something was going to happen when he saw Princess Zhou, but he didn't expect that Princess Xin would come out like this.

He frowned slightly and sat down on the chair beside him.

Regarding Zhu Youjian, Zhu Xu had already made arrangements in his heart, but now is not the time.Xin Wangfei coming to speak at this time is tantamount to forcing him to make a decision.

Believe in the king and force the palace!

A maid served a cup of tea beside Zhu Xu, and retreated silently.

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the teacup, and kept his eyes on Princess Zhou.

After all, Zhu Youjian is his elder brother, and the punishment is heavy. First, it will be a "brother's wall", which will be a historical stain, and second, it will hinder his established plan.If it is taken lightly, at this juncture of political reform, there will definitely be various interpretations, which is not conducive to the current political reform and the future court situation.

After all, King Xin has been the regent for five years, even if it's just a title!

Zhu Xu turned his head in thought, frowning from time to time.

Concubine Liu half-closed her eyes, as if she was dozing off.

Mrs. Zhang showed a scorched look on her back. She knew Zhu Xu well, and this expression showed that she was angry!

"I also ask the emperor to allow the prince to be a commoner, and the concubines will protect the prince with their lives. I beg the emperor to show mercy!" Princess Xin slammed on the ground again, with blood stains hidden.

Concubine Liu opened her eyes and looked at Zhu Xu.Empress Dowager Zhang moved her mouth and frowned.

None of them spoke, the emperor had just succeeded to the throne, and it was time to try everything possible to stabilize his position.

After a while, Zhu Xu put down his teacup, and said calmly, "Come to me at this time to force me to make a decision...it must not be the emperor's idea, nor yours. Tell me, who taught me?"

Concubine Xin's face changed slightly, she put her head on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, everything is the thoughts of my concubines and has nothing to do with the prince!"

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, stood up, looked down at her, and said indifferently: "I don't bother to care who it is, go back and tell the emperor to send him away, and also, stay in the mansion honestly, If today's incident happens again, I will send you to Qiongzhou."

Princess Zhou's complexion changed slightly, going to Qiongzhou would be exile!

Concubine Liu opened her eyes and looked at Zhu Xu, then at Concubine Xin who was kneeling on the ground trembling, she sighed softly, and did not intend to speak.

She knew Zhu Xu very well, it wasn't because there was a big conflict, she had always been lenient, and if he was forced to get angry, there was probably no room for change in the matter.

Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to speak for Princess Zhou several times, but her words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't make a sound.

Zhu Xu pleaded guilty to Concubine Liu and Empress Dowager Zhang, and left the Hall of Renshou.

Standing in front of the steps, looking at the blue sky, he let out a deep breath in his heart.

In his design, King Xin will succeed King Ping as Zongzheng of the Clan Mansion, and King Ping will go to Annan to seal it, and King Xin will also go there in the future. They were selected and distributed to various parts of Southeast Asia.

Credible King jumped out so impatiently that he almost interrupted his plan.

Chapter 563

Zhu Xu left, but Princess Xin was still kneeling on the ground, sobbing.

She understood that the emperor didn't mean to let Prince Xin go, and the fate of Prince Xin's mansion is unpredictable!

Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't bear it, walked over to pull her up, and comforted her: "The emperor has no other intentions, so don't think too much about it."

Concubine Zhou's crying makeup was all over, and Queen Mother Zhang's consolation was not convincing at all.

The old concubine stood up, waved her hands in a dispirited manner, and said, "Okay, let's all go back, let Prince Xin stay well, and don't make the emperor angry anymore." She was secretly angry at Princess Xin's behavior today, so Sudden persecution would make no one happy, let alone the emperor!

Princess Xin didn't know what to say, so she could only keep crying.

Empress Dowager Zhang comforted her for a while, and then she had to go to see those wives, and she must not be seen by others.

Zhu Xu walked out of Renshou Palace and walked towards Jingyang Palace.

King Xin may feel that now is an opportunity, but for Zhu Xu, this is not anyone's opportunity. They need to take strong control of the government and cannot tolerate anyone's challenge!

This unprecedented disaster has just begun, and it will end in more than ten years. The most terrible period is far from coming.

Cao Huachun followed closely, even though he was standing outside, he could hear Wang Xin's words clearly.

"Your majesty must feel uncomfortable..." Cao Huachun sighed secretly.After all, King Xin is the emperor's brother. The two seem to have the same purpose, but their ideas and methods are completely different.Nothing is compatible with each other.

"Your Majesty, Shen Shangshu has an urgent matter to see you."

Liu Shimin hurried over from not far away and said to Zhu Xu.

It's strange that nothing happened at this time, Zhu Xu put aside Zhu Youjian's matter, nodded slightly, and walked towards Jingyang Palace with quicker pace.

"Your Majesty." As soon as Zhu Xu entered the imperial study, Shen Yongmao raised his hand with an anxious look on his face.

Zhu Xu frowned, sat down and said, "What happened?"

Shen Yongmao looked at Zhu Xu's face and said hastily: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, nothing happened. The envoys sent by Jiannu Bandit Chief have already arrived outside the Tumu Fortress, hoping to come to Beijing to face the saint."

"messenger?"

Zhu Xu showed interest, and said with a smile: "He still dares to send an envoy, who is he sending this time?"

Shen Yongmao's face was unconsciously a little embarrassed, the emperor killed and detained envoys too many times, which completely violated the rules of "not beheading envoys", he said: "Your Majesty, it is Huang Taiji's side Fujin, and his four son."

"Cian Fujin? Bumbutai?" Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows.Regarding Huang Taiji, Zhu Xu investigated in detail, and he was also very familiar with Bumbutai's identity. He was a legendary figure, the Empress Xiaozhuang of later generations!
