Domineering Daming

Returning to Jinghuan Palace, looking at the empty hall, Zhu Xu smacked his lips and said to himself: "We have to find a way to pry Huan'er here, otherwise it will be too deserted."

He waved his hand to let Cao Huachun do his own work. He found a book and lay down on the chair to read it.In the past, he liked to read ancient books, especially various anecdotes from the Ming Dynasty, but now it just satisfies his taste.

It was not until the sun was setting that it was interrupted by Cao Wenzhao who hurried back.

"Your Highness, I have found out about those three people." Cao Wenzhao said excitedly as soon as he came back.

Zhu Xu put down the book and said in a daze, "What three people?"

Cao Wenzhao said: "It's the father and daughter who are performing arts."

Zhu Xu's eyes lit up, he immediately put down the book, and said, "Tell me in detail."

Cao Wenzhao said: "The father and daughter are all from Wancheng County in the suburbs of Beijing. They had to escape to the capital city to perform for a living because they hurt the son of a local rich gentry."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Send someone to Wancheng County to shut them up, and find three other people, bring them into the palace, train for a while, and then, I want to see them."

Cao Wenzhao looked puzzled and said, "Your Highness, why do you want these three people?"

Zhu Xu sighed, and said helplessly, "Beware of that old witch."

The old witch is Zhu Xu's "nickname" for Fengsheng's wife Hakka.Ke Shi is a very special person, and Zhu Youxiao has special feelings for her, so she cannot be dealt with in the usual way, so at present, he can only focus on prevention.

For all kinds of evil deeds of the Ke family, no one is more clear than the people in the palace. Hearing Zhu Xu's words, Cao Wenzhao immediately said: "I will go now."

After all, history has been slightly different, perhaps because Wei Zhongxian had just been taught a lesson by the emperor, and Wei Zhongxian had no way to anger the emperor. At the court meeting, Qingliu was one-sided and supported Zhou Jianzong's book one after another. Several people in Wei Zhongxian seemed to be affected by the emperor's angry words Strike, not how to counterattack.Not only does it not have the meaning of a court rod, but there is no penalty or salary.

In the end, Zhu Youxiao announced that Wei Zhongxian would temporarily go to the internal official prison to study, and he would be fined for half a year, which ended the melee in the court.

Different from Qingliu's celebration after Qingliu's big victory, Zhu Xu just shook his head slightly after getting the news. Qingliu's pride was too early. Maybe Wei Zhongxian, who has no Keshi for the time being, will appear lonely and powerless. Once Keshi comes back, the situation will be different big change.

The most important thing is that the strength shown by Qingliu this time may make Emperor Zhu Youxiao even more afraid!

"Sure enough, Wei Zhongxian's success was not a fluke, it was almost inevitable." Zhu Xu stood at the entrance of the hall and said to himself.

Then he received even worse news that Zhu Xu was not well.

Mrs. Fengsheng Hakka is going to return to Beijing ahead of schedule.

The next day, Suzaku Avenue.

The carriage was rickety, Zhu Xu was sitting in it, and Cao Wenzhao was driving.

"All arranged?" Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and dozed off.

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly turned around and said, "It's all been arranged. The two sisters have been arranged to enter Kunning Palace, and their father has been arranged to enter Jinyiwei. There happens to be a vacancy for a hundred households."

Zhu Xu nodded, the three were the father and daughter he met on the street a few days ago.One of the two sisters was named Wu Rou and the other was named Wu Qing. They were both smart and agile. Zhu Xu felt a little relieved when they were arranged by the Queen's side.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a wine shop.

Zhu Xu got out of the carriage, looked at this very ordinary small restaurant, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Is this the one?"

Cao Wenzhao stood behind him and said in a low voice: "This is the place. Master Liu will come here for a few drinks every day in the capital, at a fixed time and a fixed location."

Zhu Xu smiled like a little fox, and said, "All arranged?"

"It's all been arranged." Cao Wenzhao also said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's go to the theater." Zhu Xu waved his hand and walked in with great momentum.

Sitting on the second floor, you can see a certain place downstairs if you squint.

"Guest officer, what would you like to order?" Xiaoer, with sharp eyesight, followed from downstairs to upstairs, and when he saw Zhu Xu sitting down, he wiped the table quickly and said.

"The best wine, five of the best dishes." Zhu Xu sat there imposingly, as if I had money.

"Okay, guest officer, please wait a moment." Xiaoer was overjoyed, wiped it up smoothly, and ran downstairs quickly.

"Your Highness." Sitting beside Zhu Xu, Cao Wenzhao said in a low voice, "I heard that this Liu Yushi is very famous in Henan, and he is known for his uprightness."

Zhu Xu picked up the melon seeds on the table, and while nibbling, he glanced down and nodded with a smile.

The Liu Yushi they are waiting for is the supervisory censor of Henan. He has just returned to Beijing to report on his duties. He was the same year as Zhou Jianzong, the censor of Youqian Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was a close friend.

"I heard that Mr. Liu still has the nickname of 'Twenty-year-old'?" Zhu Xu asked with interest.

"Yes." Cao Wenzhao also laughed: "I heard that it is because he just took office as the supervisory censor of Henan Province. He has a memorial every day for the first two days of each month, but he seems to be asleep in the last ten days. There is nothing. Hence the nickname."

Zhu Xu smiled more and said: "It seems that Mr. Liu is going to make an exception."

Cao Wenzhao nodded, thinking to himself, but this time he couldn't help Master Liu's temper.

"Xiao Er, as usual." Not long after, a middle-aged man in white with blue and white patterns appeared in front of the door, and said to Xiao Er who came up to him.

"Okay, please sit down, it will be ready soon." Xiao Er sent it over quickly, then turned and ran to the back kitchen.

The middle-aged man walked in, sat down by the window, and happened to be face to face with Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu slowed down his hand eating melon seeds, and began to look at the censor.

Sitting on the bench, with a straight waist, standing upright like a gun, with long face corners and piercing eyes, at first glance, he is the kind of stubborn official who is upright, honest and uncompromising.

"I'm relieved to see him." Zhu Xu turned around and said to Cao Wenzhao with a sigh of relief.

Cao Wenzhao got up immediately, gestured to the window, and then sat back: "Your Highness, the arrangements are made."

"Okay, next we'll see the censors." Zhu Xu held the chopsticks and looked at the plate of fish that Xiao Er had brought.

Cao Wenzhao hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Your Highness, is this a bit too hasty?"

Zhu Xu took a bite of the fish and nodded slightly. The taste was good, and then he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you are in a hurry, it's just to advance the plan that has been prepared."

Cao Wenzhao nodded silently. He has followed Zhu Xu for a long time, and he understands some of his ideas, and he fully supports them!

Thinking of the eunuch who was becoming more and more arrogant, he couldn't help turning his gaze to Liu Yushi below.

Not long after, three people walked in from the outside, nearly thirty years old, looking like frustrated scholars.The three of them glanced at each other, and one of them sighed, "Brother Liu, I have given up the idea of ​​taking a test this time. I will never come to the Forbidden City again."

Brother Liu was startled, and said: "Brother Zhao, why do you have to do this? It will be a matter of time before you go to high school with your talent."

The last person shook his head and sighed: "Nowadays, the eunuchs in the court are in power, and it is difficult for an upright scholar to speak out. If you want to enter the imperial examination, it may be as difficult as reaching the sky."

The three of them spoke, sat down behind Liu Mingde, ordered a few side dishes, and sighed again.

Zhao sighed and said, "Nowadays eunuchs are rampant, and everyone is blocked. I have no hope of getting ahead in the imperial examination."
