Chapter 487 Ups and Downs of Mood
As for Kunning Palace, Baochai and Chen Zhi chatted with the queen for a while, and the latter soon looked tired.
Both Baochai and Baochai knew what was right, so they stood up and left.
The two left the hall talking and laughing, and Baochai said goodbye to Chen Zhi again and went to the east hall of Kunning Palace alone.
"Sister Bao is here"
Entering the study, Xiangyun was the first to say hello, making Baochai smile unconsciously.
The next moment Zhu Yunsheng raised his head and said with a sad expression, "Sister-in-law, I feel so uncomfortable."
In just one or two years, it was time for Zhu Yunsheng to get married, and the queen became more and more strict with her. It’s strict, so it’s normal to feel uncomfortable.
Arriving behind Zhu Yunsheng, Baochai hugged her slender waist and said, "If you have any troubles, tell your mother, I can't help you."
At this time, Xiangyun interrupted. "Sister Bao, how dare the princess complain to the empress? Wouldn't that make her feel uncomfortable?"
Baochai smiled, and then asked, "Why don't you see Lin Yatou?"
Xiangyun He then said, "She's lying down in the same place again. She's been feeling bored these past two days."
As soon as she heard the so-called "old place," Baochai immediately understood and immediately said, "I'll go over and take a look at her." I'll talk to you later."
At this time, Zhu Yunsheng said, "Sister-in-law, go ahead, we will come back later."
Baochai then went to the attic, and Daiyu was sitting alone at the moment. By the attic window, he was staring out the window in a daze.
"What are you looking at?"
Baochai came to the window, from where she could see the Kunning Palace courtyard.
"Sister Bao, here you come." Daiyu turned her head, her eyes a little more colorful.
Sitting opposite Daiyu, Baochai asked with a smile, "I'm unhappy again."
"No, I just want to be alone." Daiyu replied with a smile, just The smile was forced.
"Don't worry all day long, or you may get wrinkles from worry," Baochai joked.
"A few days ago, I heard you say that you were reading Li Houzhu's poems, and I just happened to read them in the past two days."
Baochai talked about poetry, which was intended to be based on his hobbies. Let's start and help this sister solve her worries.
Daiyu knew this very well. She was very grateful to Baochai for his care, but she was sighing in her heart at this time.
Sister Bao, sister Bao, how can you understand the origin of my sadness?
They are best friends who talk about everything, but Daiyu cannot express her feelings to her. She complained about her pain just because she fell in love with her good sister's man.
"So I think it's better for you to read less of Empress Li's words, so I'll treat you like this"
Baochai was talking when Daiyu interrupted " Sister Bao, there are some things I don’t know whether I should say or not.”
Baochai was stunned, and then said, “Just tell me what’s going on.”
“Sister Ting has been in trouble many times these days. Palace"
"I know this"
Baochai was a little confused and didn't understand why Daiyu mentioned this.
“She has a close friendship with Princess Rui, they talk happily when they come in and out, and they get along extremely closely”
It’s not like Daiyu doesn’t do anything when she is alone every day, there are many things She saw it all.
"Oh" Baochai's tone fluctuated, realizing that this matter was unusual.
"And I heard it accidentally"
Seeing Daiyu's hesitation, Baochai took her hand and comforted her and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to take care of sisters."
"I also heard Princess Rui say that the princess should have been sister Ting. In terms of relationship, she is closer to you and in terms of appearance."
These words are all from Dai. Jade overheard it, and it made her feel like a stuck in her throat.
Yang Jingting also treated her very well. Logically speaking, she should not get involved. After all, she was closer to Baochai, so she spoke out what she had hidden in her heart.
In any case, Daiyu felt that she was acting like a villain, so she felt extremely guilty after the words came out, and she would have no face to face Yang Jingting again.
At this moment, Baochai's eyes showed a cold light, and his heart was filled with anger towards Chen Zhi.
"If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." Baochai was furious in her heart. < /p>
Although Baochai said it lightly, Daiyu, being such a smart person, certainly understood that she wanted to reassure herself.
"Sister Bao, you can't say this nonsense. You are the Queen's concubine."
"You're kidding, you remember what I just said to you. Have you stayed?"
"I remember," Daiyu replied.
But Baochai asked, "Tell me, what did I tell you?"
"I will never read Empress Li's poems again."
Listen At this point, Baochai smiled and said, "That's right."
Another half an hour passed. When Baochai left the palace, the emperor came to Kunning Palace again.
At this time, Yang Qingyin was meditating in the Buddhist hall. Normally, no one was allowed to disturb her, except the emperor himself.
Of course, Zhu Xianming did not order anyone to deliver the message at this time, but came to the door of the Buddhist hall in person.
"Qingyin, it's me"
"The door is unlocked, come in"
So the emperor pushed the door open and came to the queen's side quietly , pulled up a futon and sat on it.
"The news just came back that Old Thirteen led the troops in the battle and achieved a great victory on the front line."
As he spoke, Zhu Xianming also took out the military report and handed it to his wife.
Yang Qingyin opened her eyes, reached out to take the military report, and said, "You know the fate of the people, but the emperor is so happy that he is not afraid of people's jokes if he spreads the news."
"Who dares You're kidding me."
Didn't answer Zhu Xianming's words, Yang Qingyin started reading by herself. After turning two pages, she became so angry that she became angry.
"Old Thirteen, who let this little bastard go into battle in person?"
When Yang Qingyin said this, she looked at Zhu Xianming with an evil look, and the meaning was very clear.
Suddenly, Zhu Xianming was also a little embarrassed. He felt wronged and he didn't dare to say anything.
Looking back at the letter, Yang Qingyin continued to curse, "This kid is simply unfilial and a bastard."
"A filial son emerges from under a stick. This kid has been beaten less in the past."
"Actually, Old Thirteen is not useless," Zhu Xianming said sarcastically.
Good guy, Zhu Xianming said this. , immediately attracted Yang Qingyin’s cold eyes.
“If you didn’t teach him well, it was your father’s fault that you were too lenient. How could he be as wild and untamable as he is today, and now he is taking risks on the battlefield. , you are really"
I was here to share the joy, but now I was scolded, and Zhu Xianming was angry for a while.
"I blame you, shouldn't I blame you for punishing me every time? Who keeps saying that he is still a child?"
"You are still talking about me, I think it is your loving mother who has failed many children."
So, this old couple has become another There was an argument, but after a while the two of them sat down quietly.
"Lao Shisan is more courageous than anyone else. He started his strategy to advance northward on his second day in charge. "
"The imperial court finally conquered the territory, but this guy just lost it"
"Now more than ten days have passed, and I still don't know what the situation is in the northwest. I really feel bad in my heart. I'm uneasy."
Hearing the emperor's words, Yang Qingyin couldn't help but say, "Wouldn't it be nice to send the new governor earlier, and then send an envoy to recall this kid?"
"Things are so simple. If the army is really pushed to the northwest by him, it would be a big taboo to change generals rashly."
And this is the so-called "no opportunity to create opportunities", thousands of miles into this There are indeed very few people who are able and willing to take over such an extraordinarily risky strategy.
"So you want him to continue to take command?" Yang Qingyin was particularly surprised.
"Wait for two more days." God, let’s wait and see what happens next.”
While the emperor and empress were discussing in detail, Baochai had already returned to the palace in a sedan chair.
There is no doubt that I want to see her today. There are a lot of people, even more than before.
The majority of these people are the matrons of the Wuxun House, and their husbands or sons are on the northwest front.
After learning that Zhu Jinghong is now in charge of the northwest, these people will naturally come to see the princess, which is human nature.
It is a pity that Baochai will not see these people, after all, Prince Xiang's palace is now closed. The tree attracts the wind, and if he meets with everyone again, he will be suspected of forming a party.
So after entering the palace, Baochai summoned the female official Dong Fang and ordered her to persuade the married women to leave.
p>
The reason is also very relevant, that is, the princess is too worried and has no intention of seeing foreign guests.
Although this is an excuse, Baochai really has no intention of seeing guests now, regarding Yang Jingting. CanHe said that she had trouble sleeping and eating.
Although she was very confident in herself, it was unbearable for her to be thought about like this all the time.
"If she wants to be a princess, she should plan with Princess Rui. If the Queen knows about it"
"How to let the Queen know"
Thinking of this, Baochai has a candidate in mind, and that is the scheming Zhen Qin.
Only when such a straight person reveals the matter will he not be considered to have ulterior motives.
“Forget it, let’s strike later. Being a little aggrieved will make people feel more pity”
“Besides, this matter may not require me to come forward, let Dong Gong follow up. Wouldn't it be a better choice to fight in Prince Rui's palace?"
For a time, Baochai thought of many things, and his mood gradually calmed down.
You, surnamed Zhu, are at ease, but I don’t know how much trouble you have to worry about if you leave me in Beijing. Baochai is very unhappy.
Just when she was thinking about finding a chance to test Yang Jingting, a maid came outside to report that Deng An was back.
Hearing this, Baochai ordered, "Let him come to see me."
In just one month, Deng An came back from Jinling, and his efficiency was absolutely commendable. quick.
And the fact that he came back alive meant that he had done everything well. This made Baochai feel relieved, but she wanted to ask questions in person.
After a few breaths, Deng An entered the palace.
Baochai glanced away and saw that this guy's face was full of fatigue, and his whole body had become darker and thinner, which showed that he had really suffered these days.
After waiting for the gift, Baochai asked, "Is it going smoothly to Jinling?"
"Thanks to the great blessing of the empress, this slave has a smooth journey. It has only been two days since I arrived in Suzhou." , I heard the news that Gao Shuyan fell into the water and drowned."
Deng An was a smart man. He knew what Baochai was concerned about, so he made the matter clear first.
"It's hard work for you to go to the treasury to collect five thousand taels of silver, which is considered a reward from the palace."
Although it is perfectly natural for the servants of the palace to do things, it is necessary to let the servants of the palace do things. People should exert their subjective initiative as much as possible, and necessary rewards are indispensable.
And this reward of five thousand taels is indeed generous.
"Your Majesty, how dare I, slave?"
Before Deng An could say anything, Baochai interrupted, "No need to say more, just take it if I ask you to do so." Just do your errands well."
"Thank you, empress, for your generous gift" was a way of saying thank you, but Deng An felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
He is no longer willing to do these dirty things. After all, if he does it too much, it will become a stain, and the stain will eventually be erased.
But people are in the world and can't help themselves. He, Deng An, is on the road of no return, so he can only go to the dark side.
Perhaps I should learn from Prince Rui's approach and look for people outside the Prince's Palace to listen. Firstly, it can cut off the connection with the Prince's Palace. Secondly, I can also stay away from the affairs. Deng An thought to himself.
Prince Rui’s MansionEven though Ying Qiu and Sun He, the foreign ministers, were ostensibly looking after the palace's shop, Deng An knew very well that these two people were doing the dirty work.
After thanking him, and seeing Baochai about to leave, Deng An said again, "Mother, I heard that a few days ago, the boy from the Jia family offended you again, causing His Highness Prince Qingyang to beat him up. "
"What do you want to say?" Baochai's eyes were blazing.
Deng An lowered his head and replied, "When I just returned to Beijing, I met this boy from the Jia family, who was renting a place in the Waifang District of Nancheng with a few servants and maids."
"This man is arrogant and rebellious. Should you send someone to kill him?"
Baochai replied, "This matter is over. If nothing happens, just go down."
"Yes"
In fact, Deng An knew that Baochai would not allow him to take action. He mentioned this matter simply to show his loyalty.
Prince Xiang’s Mansion is busy here, and in the back hall of Jixian Pavilion on the other side, Zhu Jingyuan is also discussing matters with a group of confidants.
They all know the content of the latest battle report, and everyone has a tacit understanding not to mention impeachment. At this time, they are discussing how to deal with it next.
"It is not appropriate for the vassal king to lead the army. Governor Liu must be appointed as soon as possible."
"That's why, although the Thirteenth Master is said to be benevolent and filial, his behavior is not in line with the ancestors." We should recall him as soon as possible."
"In a few days, it will be the Emperor's birthday, so it is reasonable and reasonable to call the Thirteenth Master back to Beijing for this matter."
"If he doesn't come, it would be a crime of unfilial piety"
At the end of the chat, everyone present laughed, but Zhu Jingyuan didn't say a word during the whole process.
Not saying anything means not participating. It can also be said to be acquiescence in this matter.
Although he still thinks that Zhu Jinghong is a reckless man, he now has military power, forcing Zhu Jingyuan to deal with him.
It is said that being on guard against others is indispensable, and Zhu Jingyuan fully agrees with this.
Zhu Jingyuan is planning, and the supporters of the East Palace are no exception. The difference is that the prince does not know about it.
Yes, Scholar Donggong and other subordinates knew how Zhu Jingyuan would react, so they did it without asking for instructions.
When the time came in the afternoon, there were many more memorials on Zhu Xianming's imperial case, and people from the two factions of King Rui of the East Palace crowded together.
These people were very smart. They did not directly impeach Zhu Jinghong for his mastery of military power. Instead, they discussed the matter from various directions as unsystematic and hoped that the emperor could send a new governor to take office as soon as possible.
Hundreds of memorials were sent, and every sentence contained in them was reasonable, which really shook Zhu Xianming's mind.
Liu Fang has already set off today. Zhu Xianming originally wanted to let Zhu Jinghong help Liu Fang, but now he has to consider calling him back.
"Alas, the imperial system is like this, so we can only recall him."
Putting down the memorial, Zhu Xianming said in a deep voice, "Come here, please go to Hanlin Garden to draft another edict. Thirteen handed over to Liu Fang and returned to Beijing"
"Yes"
Putting down the memorial, Zhu Xianming sighed.
As a former "Great General King", he knew very well what the courtiers were worried about, so he could only reassure everyone.
Would Lao Shisan really have any different intentions? This question popped up in Zhu Xianming's mind for the first time.
This means that the butt determines the head, and considering fundamental interests will push people to where they should be.
But fortunately, Zhu Jinghong’s character is really perfect, which is in sharp contrast to Zhu Xianming.
When I think about more than ten years ago, I had planned carefully, secretly wooed the civil and military court officials, personally risked my life to gain fame, and finally took a risk to seize the big position
Compared with Zhu Xianming, Zhu Jinghong is as simple as a blank sheet of paper.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xianming laughed and shook his head, secretly thinking that if Lao Shisan had other intentions, it would be unless the sun came out from the west.
Of course, although I believe in Zhu Jinghong's benevolence and filial piety, for the sake of maintaining the court system, he still has to be called back.
After handling these matters, Zhu Xianming continued to read the reports. There were many reports from various places, especially Jinling, and he, the emperor, needed to grasp them in real time.
