Chapter 403: Helping Brothers
When Zhu Jinghong and his wife were confined in Shanglin Garden, his two good brothers were not idle and immediately sent people to inquire about the situation.
It took the two of them an afternoon to figure out what was going on, and then they had to sigh that the old man really knew how to play.
"I have long wanted to return to farming. If the old man was really such a person, why did he do those things back then?"
In the garden of Prince Rui's Mansion, Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but complain.
There was no one around ten feet, so he was not afraid of others listening.
Chen Zhi sat aside, playing with the soup with a spoon, and whispered, "The girls of the Xue family have chosen the princess, there is nothing impossible in this world."
Although After so long, although she was the one who recommended Baochai to run for election, she still finds it difficult to accept the current result.
"In a few days, I will have to plead with Lao Shisan. I can't just sit back and watch my brother suffer."
"Suffer" Chen Zhi was a little confused.
"The old man asked Old Thirteen to live in a thatched hut and wear commoners, and have a simple meal every day, and there is no one to serve him. He has to cook for himself. This is not suffering."
In Zhu Jingyuan's view , this kind of treatment is worse than being imprisoned, how can he be indifferent as a brother.
"Could it be that my father wants to depose Lao Shisan?" Chen Zhi was a little surprised.
"Mom is still here," Zhu Jingyuan said angrily.
"You have an acquaintance in Shangshi Bureau. Find a way to give Lao Shisan some food and drink, and let him remember the benefits of my sixth brother"
"Okay" Chen Zhi agreed.
While the couple was discussing, the couple in the East Palace were not idle either.
"Dad, he doesn't see me at all. I can't even beg for mercy. What should I do?" Zhu Jingyuan looked anxious.
"Your Highness, this matter cannot be rushed. Since my father has already arranged it, I think it is just to make the thirteenth brother suffer some pain. We can discuss this matter in the long run."
"It's only the first day now. , In a few days, His Highness will plead with his father again. Presumably his anger will have dissipated a lot by then, and maybe he will be able to spare the thirteenth brother."
"At that time, I will plead with my mother again and say As soon as his mother softened her heart, the thirteenth brother came out."
Hearing what Yuan Chun said, Zhu Jingyuan felt a little more at ease.
He actually didn’t know what Zhu Jinghong’s life was like, otherwise he would be even more anxious at this moment.
"Besides, we still have to do something. Maybe we should go see the thirteenth brother," Zhu Jingyuan said hesitantly.
Yuan Chunkai explained, "Your Highness, it's better to go now in a few days, for fear of offending my father."
"The thirteenth brother disobeyed his mother's wishes and forcibly selected the Xue family As a wife, the girl is indeed too unrestrained. If this kind of behavior were done to others, I'm afraid they will lose their lives," Zhu Jingyuan said with emotion.
"It can be seen that the father is thinking about the love between father and son, otherwise he would be sad"
Yuan Chun's words also made Zhu Jingyuan feel even more uncomfortable.
The so-called father-son love is exactly what he desires most, and he can never get it.
In contrast, Zhu Jingyuan sees things much more clearly.
He is only focused on pleasing his father, and at the same time showing his ability to make friends with courtiers. He regards building a career as his only goal. He does not care much about the relationship between father and son.
Two days passed quickly, and the news that Zhu Jinghong was sent to Shanglinyuan to farm began to spread among senior civil and military officials.
Through the relationship with the prince and their excellent qualities, Jia Lian and Jia Rong have officially joined the Dragon Guard, so they also got the news.
At this moment, these two people were in the front hall, talking about this matter with several elders.
"It is really surprising that the Holy Spirit arranged this." Jia She finally made this conclusion.
No one would believe a man who, like the immediate emperor, had tightly grasped the power of the military and political power, carried out reforms in the country, and used weapons and weapons wildly in the vassal lands. He said that he wanted to return to the countryside. .
As for the reason for this arrangement, everyone present also roughly understood it.
From the perspective of the Jia family as their subjects, Zhu Jinghong’s arbitrariness in choosing Baochai as his wife really surprised them beyond measure.
In their view, even if the emperor deposed Zhu Jinghong for such a rebellious act, it would still make sense.
Now they are simply banned from farming, which is considered a very light punishment.
The same thing was a test in the eyes of Zhu Jinghong, a punishment in the eyes of Zhu Jingyuan and others, but a favor in the eyes of ministers like the Jia family.
"It can be seen that the woman of the Xue family is an ominous person, and now even His Royal Highness Prince Xiang has been harmed by her."
Generally speaking, when the men of this kind of family discuss matters, Baoyu has no influence at all. The mind is involved.
But now the situation has changed. In order for his son to stand up in the future, Jia Zheng forced Baoyu to attend the recent meetings.
But at this moment, he was talking nonsense again, which almost made Jia Zheng angry to death.
Although Baochai has not yet been canonized, the full wedding ceremony has been completed, and she is the official daughter-in-law of the royal family.
Even the emperor didn’t say anything. You, a dandy, dared to talk nonsense. If word got out, you would really be in danger.
Then the next moment, Jia Zheng stood up and slapped Baoyu, making him stunned by the sudden slap.
"Bastard, who told you to talk nonsense?" Jia Zheng scolded.
Others also looked unhappy. No matter Jia Lian or Jia Rong, the directors now knew how difficult the Jia family was.
It doesn’t matter if Baoyu talks nonsense and harms himself, but if it harms the whole family, everyone present will never accept it.
"Second uncle, Baoyu always makes crazy remarks, and I'm afraid that such behavior will cause great disaster." Jia Lian couldn't help but speak.
Jia Lian has been holding his anger against Baoyu in his heart for a long time, and now he can't express it anymore.
Jia Rong also knows how difficult the current situation is, and Jia Lian is taking the lead at this moment.After being challenged, he also said, "Second Master Bao Shu's words are indeed true."
After being reminded by the two juniors, Jia Zheng couldn't keep his face, so he immediately said with a cold face, "I still know how to measure." , you don’t need to remind me."
He is the father of the Crown Princess. Although he is no longer in charge of the house, his status in the clan is also aloof, so he is naturally confident in reprimanding the younger generation.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you go back quickly?" Jia Zheng scolded angrily.
In fact, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Baoyu knew that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.
Even if you think so in your heart, you must never say it out loud.
After Baoyu lowered his head and left, Jia She, who had been silent, said, "Second brother Baoyu, we still need to make him more stable. We can't make mistakes."
Jia She is the elder brother, so what he says is of great weight. Jia Zheng can't say much at the moment.
"I will discipline this bastard strictly and never let him talk nonsense again."
After saying this, Jia Zheng also stood up and left. It seems that Baoyu will inevitably get a beating. .
After a few breaths of silence, Jia Lian sighed, "In recent days, we have joined the Dragon Guard, and we have been marginalized many times. It would be great if we could have the Thirteenth Master to take care of us."
Back then The children of Donghuamen's heroes accounted for at least half of the positions in the Dragon Guard, so these people would naturally crowd out Jia Lian.
Zhu Jinghong has many acquaintances in Longjing Guard, and anyone will sell him face. Of course, Jia Lian and his wife will have an easier time with him taking care of them.
The prince's face does not work well with the Dragon Guards.
Soon another three days passed, and Zhu Jinghong’s life gradually got back on track.
The situation in Shanglinyuan was reported to the emperor’s desk every day.
"It is said that the thirteenth master has eaten all the dry rice dumplings made by the princess in the past two days. Those days were really not easy."
In the side hall of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Xianming was having lunch , Cheng Ying's report made him overjoyed.
"Give me another bowl"
Normally, Zhu Xianming only eats two small bowls at noon. Today, he obviously has a good appetite, because he feels very sad after hearing that his youngest son suffered. Serve the meal.
Cheng Ying handed the rice bowl to the emperor again, and then said, "Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Master has been pampered since he was a child. Do you want to let Shang Shi Bureau?"
Cheng Ying wanted to ask for mercy. Although he knew that the emperor would not agree, this was a plus for him.
Zhu Xianming was about to refuse, when a small eunuch appeared outside the hall and reported, "Your Majesty, the princess wants to see you."
The princess who is still living in the palace is Zhu Yunsheng. one person.
Before Zhu Xianming could say anything, this girl barged in directly, causing Zhu Xianming to become serious in an instant.
"Dad, please spare Brother Thirteen."
Before Zhu Xianming could speak, Zhu Yunsheng spoke first.
"It's getting more and more unruly," Zhu Xianming scolded.
But his words really have no power, only ZhuYun Sheng came to him and poured him a cup of tea very thoughtfully.
"Dad, please drink tea."
Taking the tea cup, Zhu Xianming said coldly, "What does Lao Shisan's matter have to do with you? He is working on my behalf, how can he still do it?" I have wronged him."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yunsheng was not afraid at all, and replied, "Dad, we are a royal family, and a noble prince goes to farm. If word spreads, I am afraid he will be laughed at."
" You are not afraid of making fun of Lao Shisan, what are you afraid of?"
While speaking, Zhu Xianming picked up the bowl again and left the eunuch to eat by himself.
“I heard from my mother that he has to hoe the ground every day, and he has to cook and wash himself. He doesn’t have good food or shelter or clothes.”
“Dad, Thirteenth Brother How can I bear that pain?"
"What do you know, you kid? Go back quickly and beg your mother." Zhu Xianming became more and more annoyed as he listened.
But I heard Zhu Yunsheng mutter, "If someone wants to farm, you don't let them go, and if you force those who can't farm, it would be too unfair."
This made Zhu Xianming became interested, and then he asked, "I won't let anyone want to farm."
Zhu Yunsheng replied, "Of course it's the fourteenth brother and the fifteenth brother."
" They said that farming is better than studying every day, and they also said that they would rather follow the thirteenth brother to farm instead of being restrained in the palace and suffering."
Asking for mercy from the queen was not going to work, so Zhu Yunsheng came. Qianqing Palace.
But before coming, she first went to the Wenhua Palace, hoping to bring the two concubine brothers together to plead for mercy.
Unexpectedly, these two people were easy to talk to, but when they really wanted to come to the Qing Palace, they were naturally intimidated.
Thinking that these two people were full of brotherly love and righteousness, but in the end they didn't even dare to come over to plead for mercy, Zhu Yunsheng naturally sold them.
What she said just now was really not made up by her, but by Zhu Jingchun and the two of them.
"They really said that?" Zhu Xianming asked coldly.
"They said it in front of my daughter in the East Pavilion of Wenhua Hall. If you don't believe me, you can ask the bachelors and ministers on duty," Zhu Yunsheng replied confidently.
"These two bastards"
Zhu Xianming knows very well the virtues of Zhu Jingchun and Zhu Jingchun.
Thinking that they would be crowned kings next year and it would be even more difficult to restrain them after leaving the palace, Zhu Xianming couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"In that case, I will help them"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunsheng suddenly felt happy, secretly thinking that with these two concubine brothers in his past, his brother would be much more relaxed. .
"Cheng Ying"
"The slave is here"
"Pass on my oral instructions to send the two of them to Linyuan. Since they want to farm, "Go with peace of mind"
"Then let them go immediately" Zhu Xianming ordered emphatically.
"Yes"
Seeing that the plan was accomplished, Zhu Yunsheng secretly thought that he was worthy of the Thirteenth Brother, so he picked up the chopsticks to serve his father, and asked several people in the hall who were dedicated to this job Eunuch jobs.
"Dad, you eat this"
"Yes" Zhu Xianming responded, but his mood became better and better.
He could already imagine that when these two people went to Shanglin Garden, they would be severely punished by Zhu Jinghong, and these two bastards would understand how comfortable reading is.
Two brothers, it was you who said you were willing to help Brother Thirteen, and my little sister is here to help you today. I guess you won’t blame me, Zhu Yunsheng said secretly.
While Zhu Yunsheng was persuading himself, Cheng Ying also went to Chengmingyuan to deliver the decree.
At this time, Zhu Jingchun and his wife had gone to school and were gathering in the palace to have a meal.
Facing this table of delicacies, Zhu Jingchun said with emotion, "Li Bai said that the delicacies on the jade plate are worth ten thousand dollars. In my opinion, there are no delicacies on the jade plate in this world, they are just ordinary dishes."
Zhu Jinghao also lamented, "Yes, Shang Shi Bureau only has those methods, we brothers can just eat whatever we want."
"No appetite, no appetite." Zhu Jingchun shook his head.
They are really not moaning in pain, but they have been eating this kind of food since they were little, and basically can't find anything new, so it is normal to feel that they have no appetite.
"Fourteenth Master, Fifteenth Master, Manager Cheng from Qianqing Palace is here"
The little eunuch's report outside made the two brothers in the room very strange. It was unusual for Ying to come here.
"Let's go out and greet him," Zhu Jingchun said.
Cheng Ying is the general manager of the Qianqing Palace and one of the most eunuchs in the twenty-four yamen of the inner court. He is responsible for closely serving the emperor's food and daily life. Even the prince does not dare to neglect at will.
The two of them came out of the dormitory and saw Cheng Ying standing in the courtyard.
"Eunuch Cheng, what are you doing?"
"The Fourteenth Master, the Fifteenth Master is giving an oral instruction" Cheng Ying said expressionlessly, then turned around and faced the door. direction.
When they heard that there was an oral instruction, Zhu Jingchun and the others did not dare to neglect, so they quickly walked around to Cheng Ying, and then knelt down to worship.
"My son, Zhu Jingchunhao, calls upon my father, the Holy Father."
"Holy Peace,"
Cheng Yinglang answered this sentence procedurally. He said, "Orally, since Fourteenth and Fifteenth like to farm, then they can farm with peace of mind."
After hearing this, Zhu Jingchun bravely raised his head and asked, "Eunuch Cheng, it's over." "
"It's over"
"Father, this is"
Seeing that Zhu Jingchun was about to ask, Cheng Ying said coldly, "Your Highnesses, please accept the order"< /p>
"I accept the order, long live my emperor."
After receiving the order, Zhu Jingchun and his two men stood up, and then asked about the situation.
"What's the situation? You'll know when your highnesses go down, please."
"Go now," Zhu Jinghao couldn't help but ask.
"Go now"
Zhu Jinghao then said, "Eunuch, we haven't eaten yet"
"The Lord said that it is OK to receive the order, your two highnesses. You can go to Shanglin Garden for dinner"Cheng Ying said calmly.
"But"
Before Zhu Jingchun finished speaking, Cheng Ying said coldly, "Your Highness, if you delay, you will resist the decree." "
Zhu Jingchun and his wife did not dare to accept this charge, and they did not dare to argue or ask questions at this time.
They wanted to pack their things but Cheng Ying refused, saying The Shanglin Garden is ready, so they just need to pass by.
There is no other way. Zhu Jingchun and Cheng Ying can only leave together and rush towards the Shanglin Garden. Please remember to collect. , the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
