Domineering Daming

"Your Highness, have you thought about how to deal with Zhang Heming?"

Cao Wenzhao stood in front of him, looked at Zhu Xu's expression, and said wandering in his heart.

Zhu Xu smiled slightly and said, "We don't want to get involved in the affairs of the court. The first priority is to serve the money."

Cao Wenzhao was in a daze, he didn't quite understand His Highness Prince Hui's words.

Zhu Xu chuckled, and said: "We must make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and give full play to our own advantages. That's fine, we'll wait for the emperor's order to come down."

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhu Youxiao's order to come down, but it was also vague. He didn't clearly state Zhu Xu's position, but only emphasized the word "chief judge".

Cao Wenzhao looked at the edict over and over again, looked up at Zhu Xu and asked in doubt: "Your Highness, what does the Emperor mean? What do you want to do with Zhang Heming?"

Zhu Xu was also thinking about the joint trial of the three divisions, which should be the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. However, the general ruled out the Metropolitan Procuratorate and became the royal family, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Dali Temple.

Huang Kezuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, is an extremely fair person who is determined to make a difference, and also a capable person, but there are too many constraints and his reputation is not prominent.He doesn't know much about Dali Siqing, but he can meet tomorrow.

Zhu Xu thought for a long time, then waved his hands and said: "No matter what Brother Huang thinks, these are the affairs of their two gangs, we only care about making money."

Cao Wenzhao didn't know why Zhu Xu was involved in earning money in everything, but he didn't ask, and naturally he would follow suit tomorrow.

Early the next morning, with the help of Yao Qingqing, Zhu Xu put on the royal clothes neatly, and then went to Kunning Palace to pay his respects.

Empress Zhang saw that Zhu Xu seemed to be looking good, and entered the door with a little complacency, she hurriedly pulled over, and said angrily: "Sit down quickly, I wanted to find you last night, you said you, what are you doing so impulsively, If you have something to tell me first."

Zhu Xu also knew that Empress Zhang had noticed something, and she was not sure how much it was. Hearing this, she just giggled and said, "How can I disturb the good affairs of the emperor's sister-in-law and the emperor's brother? Look, how sensible I am."

Empress Zhang slapped him hard on the head, and said angrily, "Just be angry with me."

Zhu Xu smiled and sat down, picked up the chopsticks and knocked up, shouting loudly: "Huan'er, hurry up and eat, the king will go out to try the case later, who cares if he is hungry."

Empress Zhang chuckled, turned her head to look at Huan'er not far away, who was also pouting and staring, holding back her laughter, and said, "Don't pay attention to him."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Zhu Xu and said, "Stop talking to me, tell me, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Zhu Xu grabbed the snacks on the table and stuffed them into his mouth, saying vaguely, "Let him go."

Empress Zhang frowned, and taught: "Let him go, it's business, don't fool me with your indecentness."

Zhu Xu took a sip of his snacks and felt less hungry, so he took another sip of tea.

Empress Zhang picked up the chopsticks and knocked on his hand, angrily said, "Tell me quickly, what is your plan."

Zhu Xu blinked, looked up at her fair and innocent face, and said innocently, "Sister-in-law, I'm only seven years old, so I don't know how to judge a case. Those adults have the final say."

Empress Zhang was startled when she heard Zhu Xu's words, and thoughtfully said: "You mean, you plan to push it to them?"

Zhu Xu said as a matter of course: "How can you say it's push, this is their job."

Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Xu, nodded slightly and said, "Alright, although the emperor has not dealt with you in this matter, there will probably be some papers about your impeachment in the court, so try not to talk, and when they finish the case, you will be in the palace." You'll be fine if you hide for a while."

Zhu Xu nodded vaguely, ate, and urged Huan'er who was not far away from time to time.

Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Xu, frowned again, and suddenly said loudly, "You promise me!"

Startled, Zhu Xu sighed inwardly, saying that women are sensitive, and this Empress is probably the most sensitive among women.

Zhu Xu wiped his mouth and said solemnly: "I promise to be honest and not cause trouble."

Zhu Xu was taken over by Empress Zhang when he was three years old, and was raised in the palace for three years. Last year, he was only released at Zhu Xu's life and death request. She thought she knew him better than anyone else. Seeing Zhu Xu's appearance, she became more and more disbelieving.

Empress Zhang turned her head to look at Huan'er, and said, "Huan'er, send someone to go to the Duke's Mansion later, please go with King Hui."

The corner of Zhu Xu's mouth twitched, knowing that Empress Zhang was still worried, she nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay."

Empress Zhang was indeed still worried, and threatened: "If you are causing trouble for me, don't even think about leaving the palace in the future."

This sentence was too lethal, Zhu Xu said with a face of assurance: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I am the most obedient."

I don't know if it's because of her pregnancy, Empress Zhang is always in a panic, worrying about the emperor, herself, Zhu Xu, parents, brothers, sisters and nephews, she has nothing to do.

Empress Zhang felt uneasy, and she didn't want to see Zhu Xu, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, you can go."

Zhu Xu stared wide-eyed and protested: "Sister-in-law, I'm not full yet."

"Hurry up and go." Queen Zhang said with a posture of pushing people away.

Zhu Xu grabbed a plate, curled his lips, and walked out of Kunning Palace while eating.

"Ma'am, didn't you talk about His Highness early in the morning? Why did you drive him away?"

Huan'er came over with a stack of snacks, looked at Zhu Xu's back and said suspiciously.

Empress Zhang sighed, touched her slightly protruding belly, and said: "Who knows what kind of plans this monkey has in mind, if he stays longer, I can't help but pick up the whip and give him a lesson. "

Huan'er looked at Queen Zhang, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Mother, you are pregnant. I heard from the old lady that pregnant women feel like this."

Empress Zhang shook her head and said, "Forget it, leave him alone, you can cook some soup for the emperor later." She also noticed that Zhu Youxiao's health has been getting worse and worse since Ke's death. People are also losing weight.

Huan'er agreed and gave orders.

Zhu Xu left Kunning Palace, stretched his waist, and said to Cao Wenzhao who was waiting outside: "Old Cao, let's go out of the palace and meet the adults of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple."

Cao Wenzhao hurried over and said, "Your Highness, the carriage is ready, and I have ordered twenty guards."

"Too little." Zhu Xu rubbed his greasy hand directly on the king's clothes, and said as he walked one step at a time: "Bring a hundred, don't take a carriage, take a sedan chair. By the way, I haven't eaten enough yet, after leaving the palace Buy a roast chicken."

Chapter 74

Zhu Xu stepped on the spot and appeared in the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment, with Dharma protectors standing behind him.

Feng Zhu held the emperor's edict in his hand, and Cao Wenzhao carried the lunch box.

"Your Majesty has met His Royal Highness King Hui."

There are a lot of heads, all of them are heads, the voice is not loud, but there are some echoes.

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Xu looked like he didn't pay attention to everyone. He raised his head and said nothing. He went directly to the desk in the lobby and sat down on the chair.

With a crowd of people watching, he put the lunch box in Cao Wenzhao's hand on the table, and first took out a plate of roast chicken, then sauce, chopsticks, knives, small bowls, side dishes and so on.

It wasn't until it was put away that Zhu Xu seemed to have just discovered the appearance of the group of people below. He stood up and looked around, waved his hand and said, "You are all welcome, come here and show the seat to the Duke."

Zhang Guoji below looked at Zhu Xu's behavior, thinking about Queen Zhang's message, he felt a little more at ease, raised his hand slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhu Xu looked at the people below, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, let's start." After speaking, he sat down.

After Zhu Xu's words fell, a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and seemingly simple and honest stood up, bowed to Zhu Xu and clasped his fists and said, "His Royal Highness, my Lord Shangshu has recently felt a cold and is not feeling well. leave."
