Domineering Daming

Queen Zhang quickly poured a cup of tea and said, "Eat slowly, I won't fight with you."

While drinking water, Zhu Xu said vaguely, "Sister-in-law Huang, you can also give me Huan'er..."

Empress Zhang didn't hear clearly, she looked at him and said, "Eat slowly, we'll talk after we finish eating."

On the other hand, Huan'er had a pretty face, stared at Zhu Xu and said, "I'm not going to Jinghuan Palace, I want to serve our empress."

Queen Zhang also reacted, and smiled slightly: "I can give you everything else, Huan'er, don't even think about it."

Zhu Xu ate it along with the water, smacked his lips, and said with a look of regret: "Why are all the good ones belonged to the emperor's sister-in-law?"

Empress Zhang chuckled, and said in a bad mood: "You are clever, you used to miss the valuable things in my palace, but now you even miss people."

Zhu Xu was also a little embarrassed, looked at Queen Zhang and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you borrow it for a few days first?"

"Okay, hurry up and eat." Empress Zhang didn't give him a chance to mess around, and said: "After eating, go back and stay. The emperor is still awake, I have to go and see."

Zhu Xu rolled his eyes and said, "Okay."

Huan'er angrily stuffed him with the newly made pastries, and Zhu Xu even ate and took, as usual, brought a small half of the pastries back to Jinghuan Palace.

"Try it, Sister Huan'er made it." Zhu Xu handed the box to Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao's face brightened, and he said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhu Xu was lying on the chair, sipping tea, and said slowly: "The emperor was at the emperor's sister-in-law all day yesterday, and he probably hasn't seen Zhou Jianzong's notebook. The chief inspector...Wei Zhongxian should know about it, tell Xiao Cao said, let him keep an eye on it, if the emperor has gone to the imperial study, report it."

"It's Your Highness." Cao Wenzhao was rude and ugly. He wiped his mouth and looked at Zhu Xu, wondering, "Your Highness, is this time really so important? I've never seen you so serious."

Zhu Xu smiled slightly, without further explanation.He studied archaeology and did not study much history.But I remember very clearly that once the mentor told them to the tomb of the Ming and Tang kings, "Wei Zhongxian really felt that he could defeat the mighty and unparalleled Qingliu, and that was when he dealt with Zhou Jianzong."

This sentence impressed him very deeply, so he must not give Wei Zhongxian the feeling that he can defeat the Qingliu of the Manchu Dynasty, otherwise he, who knows the temperament of Emperor Tianqi, and the Ke family, no one will be able to restrain him in the future.

"I'll take a nap for a while, and call me when the time comes." Zhu Xu went to explore the wind early in the morning, and now he was full and sleepy.

"It's Your Highness." Cao Wenzhao quickly agreed, and walked out with the box in his arms.

Zhu Xu slept until noon, and stood at the door with sleepy eyes, looking at the hottest sun, listening to Cao Huachun's explanation, looking at Cao Huachun beside him with a strange expression: "What's going on? Say it again!"

Cao Huachun also looked a little embarrassed, and said: "Several people in the Supervisor of Rituals are as illiterate as Eunuch Wei, and the Eunuch Wei, the censor's son, has confessed that they must have their own interrogation before being sent to the imperial court. Today Liu Shimin happened to be taking a bath, and others Can’t be approved, eunuch Wei hasn’t returned yet, so Zhou Yushi’s papers are still in the Supervisor of Ceremonies.”

Zhu Xu looked at the sky with a look of emotion. After Yingzong, all the supervisors of ceremonies have set up schools to teach eunuchs to read and write. However, Wei Zhongxian and the few people around him are from Yeluzi, and they don't know a single character. Criticism, even the cabinet's papers can't be sent to the imperial court.

This is the predicament now.

However, the Supervisor of Rites is known as the small cabinet, and the Supervisor of Rituals is called the eunuch of Bingbi, and the power is sometimes more terrifying than that of the chief assistant.Therefore, whether it is Zhang Juzheng, who was once incomparably beautiful, or Yan Song, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, etc. who served as chief assistants before, if they want to accomplish something, they must first win over the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies.

And the most important point, the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, often also leads the admiral of the East Factory!

Why was Wei Zhongxian able to suppress the six ministries and let the cabinet elders bend over to obey orders, because both Dongchang and Jinyiwei are in his hands, and anyone who refuses to accept can find a reason to send him to Fusi Prison in Jinyiwei Town, regardless of guilt or innocence, Entering the Zhenfusi Prison is a capital offense!

Wei Zhongxian was in power for only four short years, and the damage caused to the system was unparalleled in the Ming Dynasty. He also became a famous power eunuch in the Ming Dynasty!

In the future, when Chongzhen abolished Jinyiwei, Dongchang has a direct relationship with him!

Zhu Xu felt emotion in his heart, and his heart turned quickly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said to himself: "Forget it, then I will give you some eye drops in advance."

"Go, go to the imperial study." Zhu Xu said.

"His Royal Highness Hui Wang, you came just in time, the emperor is angry." Just as Zhu Xu walked in, the eunuch outside the door came quickly and said in a low voice.

Zhu Xu was startled, and said, "Who made Brother Huang angry?"

The eunuch glanced at the gate of the royal study, and said in a low voice: "The emperor studied the posthumous works of the sages, and he couldn't understand many parts. He was thinking about it. Just now, the emperor asked for an audience and was scolded away by the emperor."

Censor?Could it be that Zhou Jianzong couldn't wait to come to ask?

Chapter 9 Eye Drops

Zhu Xu straightened his clothes, waved his hands, and said, "You all wait, I'll go chat with Brother Huang."

The eunuchs gave way one after another, and His Royal Highness Hui Wang was the emperor's "traveler".

"Brother Huang, what's the matter?" Zhu Xu entered the imperial study, and saw Zhu Youxiao sitting on the dragon chair like a piece of wood, looking at the wooden models in front of him and muttering to himself.

Hearing Zhu Xu's shout, Zhu Youxiao's expression was startled, and he suddenly said loudly: "Young brother, come and help me to see, what should I do with this picture, why can't I do it all the time?"

Zhu Xu ran over quickly, holding the "posthumous works of sages" and looked at them.In order to please the carpenter brother, Zhu Xu has studied it all these years, and laughed secretly after watching it for a while.Wei Zhongxian also took great pains. In order to convince Zhu Youxiao that this is the posthumous work of a sage, he actually did a lot of "impossible works".

Zhu Xu frowned pretendingly, and muttered: "It's strange, this doesn't make sense, without any support, is it possible to let the palace float in the sky? And there were no bricks and mortar in ancient times. How did this happen?"

Zhu Youxiao also frowned when he heard the words, and said in the tone of a work discussion between two colleagues: "I'm also surprised, this picture shouldn't appear here."

Zhu Xu glanced at Zhu Youxiao, who was in a state of work, flipped through the "Book of Sages", and said in surprise, "Brother Huang, this book is rice paper, you are sure it is a 'posthumous work of a sage' ?”

"Xuan paper?" Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, then took it over and flipped through it, hesitantly said: "It should be copied and engraved by later generations..."

Zhu Xu shook his head, and said: "Many of the methods here only appeared after the Song Dynasty, Brother Huang, you must have been deceived."

Zhu Youxiao's expression changed immediately when he heard it, and he stared at Zhu Xu with rounded eyes and said, "Imperial brother, do you mean that Wei Qing lied to me?"

Zhu Xu blinked his eyes and said hesitantly: "I don't know, but based on my experience, there are nine out of ten times it is fake."

Zhu Youxiao also considers himself an expert. When he heard Zhu Xu's words, his face flushed faintly. He was stunned for a while, his neck was a little stiff, and he said stiffly: "Your brother is right. You discussed it. I will ask Wei Zhongxian later to find out, you go to the queen first and talk to her."

Zhu Xu knew that Zhu Youxiao was embarrassing and embarrassing, so he quickly understood and said calmly: "Okay, brother, by the way, Mrs. Wei listened in and said that the admiral of the East Factory is here. Brother, you should pay attention to your tone."

Zhu Youxiao still stiffened his neck, and snorted coldly: "Admiral, he doesn't know a thing, why should he be the admiral of the East Factory!"

Zhu Xu's heart suddenly moved. Perhaps Zhu Youxiao had already seen Zhou Jianzong's memorial, but he just pretended not to know.

"Then, my brother will leave." Zhu Xu said goodbye, walked out of the door of the imperial study, walked a few steps, stood at the fence, and murmured thoughtfully to himself: "Maybe we all underestimate Brother Huang .”

However, when Zhou Jianzong impeached Wei Zhongxian, "a thousand people blamed him, but he didn't know a single one", Wei Zhongxian was already furious. This sentence is exactly what he thought, and it will still be a famous sentence after a thousand years!

The eye drops had already been applied, and Zhu Xu was suddenly in a good mood, humming a little tune, and walked towards Kunning Palace calmly.

Hanging around with Empress Zhang for a long while, seeing that Empress Zhang was a little tired, she said goodbye and walked out of Kunning Palace.

"Your Highness, there is news from the Imperial Study Room." Cao Huachun said in a low voice as he followed Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu raised his brows and said, "Say it quickly."

Cao Huachun glanced around, leaned over and said, "The eunuch Wei cried as soon as he entered the imperial study room. He said a lot, and the emperor listened all the time. Finally, he couldn't bear to scold him, and asked him to study hard."

"Study hard..." Zhu Xu chuckled, Wei Zhongxian hated others to deceive him because he was illiterate, and he must hate Zhou Jianzong to death.But according to history, Zhou Jianzong would not let it go.The struggle between the Qingliu or Donglin Party and the eunuch Party that has not yet fully formed will continue, and will only become more intense.

Perhaps Wei Zhongxian was already thinking about how to deal with Zhou Jianzong.
