The so-called family scandal should not be publicized, let alone the royal family.
Now that he knew that the queen was fine, Zhu Xianming did not want to cause too much trouble. After all, prisoners would be presented to the Imperial Ancestral Temple later, and it was also the New Year's Eve.
"Sheng'er, go and call the three of them in!" Zhu Xianming said solemnly.
"Yes!"
Zhu Yunsheng walked out of Kunning Palace and saw three brothers kneeling at the foot of the steps. It happened to be snowing in the sky at this time, causing their hats to have Covered with snowflakes.
"Fourth brother, dad wants you to come in!" Zhu Yunsheng walked down the steps.
The prince was really frightened after being whipped twice by his father, so much so that he is still unconscious.
Zhu Jingyuan was not much better. He was still uneasy at this time, but the difference between him and the prince was that he was worried that my mother would be angry with him and cause problems, which would lead to him completely losing the holy family.
Zhu Jinghong was the first to get up. Unlike his two brothers, he didn't have too many thoughts and was only worried about his old mother's health.
Although he is a time traveler, he has truly felt the Queen's unreserved maternal love, and has long regarded her as his own mother in his heart, not to mention that she is the mother of this body.
"Third sister, is your mother feeling better?" Zhu Jinghong spared his two brothers and asked with great concern.
Zhu Yunsheng was not happy at the moment and replied coldly: "I don't know..."
"I'll go in and have a look!"
So, Zhu Jinghong He became the first person to enter the hall, and then his two brothers stood up and followed him into the hall.
When Prince Rui and Prince Rui entered the palace in fear, Zhu Jinghong had already walked towards the queen with his head held high.
"Mom, my son is wrong, don't be angry, you will be so angry... My son will never be forgiven until he dies!"
Squatting in front of the queen's knees, Zhu Jinghong said this with deep emotion. After all, he was definitely not acting at this moment.
The queen smiled slightly, looked around at the three brothers in front of her, and said comfortingly: "You don't have to blame yourself, I'm fine, I just accidentally bit my tongue. It seems I was too hasty just now! ”
“Since today is a family banquet, let’s not talk about these unhappy things. Please take your seats.”
The queen’s words made the prince and Prince Rui feel like spring breeze, making them both happy. It felt much better, otherwise they would have found it difficult to even breathe.
For the sake of the royal family's face, Zhu Xianming also calmed down at this moment. Seeing that everyone was still, he said coldly: "Didn't you hear what the queen said?"
Everyone immediately followed the clockwork, They immediately sat down in order according to the rules, and everyone's wives also took their seats.
Not wanting to make the queen angry again, Zhu Xianming directly ordered: "Pass the meal!"
The meal was already ready. At this time, the emperor spoke and the eunuchs started to move, and soon the meal was all taken away. Put it up.
Even though the atmosphere was better than before, it was actually still quite heavy. Zhu Jinghong and the others just started eating.
"Lao Shisan came back from Liaodong before.He told me all the strange sights and strange things he encountered, and he didn't stop for more than an hour. Isn't there nothing interesting about your trip? "
"Mom, of course there are interesting things, and there are a lot of them! "
"On the first day I left Beijing, before I had even gone fifty miles out of the city, I ran into..."
Zhu Jingyuan's reaction was indeed very fast, and he followed the Queen's words. When he got up, it was as if nothing had happened just now.
Baochai, who was sitting next to Zhu Jinghong, asked in a low voice: "Are you okay? ”
“It only took seven blows, it’s okay! "
After Zhu Jinghong finished answering, he heard the emperor say: "Old Thirteen... what are you muttering about? "
"Oh... my son said that this steamed mutton tastes great. When I return home, I have to ask the kitchen to bargain with the imperial chef! "
"Really? I like it so much... How about I ask the imperial chef to go with you? "
"Given by the elders, I dare not refuse...it's just..."
"Just what? "
"It's just that my son thinks that this braised food is not bad, so..."
Hearing this, Zhu Xianming smiled unconsciously. He realized that this boy was really shameless.
At this time, Prince Rui only felt envious, envious that Zhu Jinghong had the ability to use such tricky methods to make the emperor laugh in this situation.
The emperor smiled, and the atmosphere in the hall really improved, and everyone present, including the eunuchs and maids, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wouldn't it be easier for you to move the imperial dining room as well? ? ”
“That’s not necessary! " Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.
At this time the queen also smiled and said: "Since you like these two dishes, just ask the imperial chef to follow you later! ”
Zhu Jinghong continued: “Mother, my father just spanked his son seven times, and he didn’t suffer any loss!” ”
At this time, Zhu Xianming was drinking. When he heard these words, he almost spit out, so he put down the glass with a "pop".
"Boy, kick your nose and it's on your face." Bar! "
"My son doesn't dare! "Zhu Jinghong stood up quickly.
Yang Qingyin immediately waved her hand, motioning Zhu Jinghong to sit down and said: "You are right, just think of it as... your father's compensation for you! ”
With such a conversation, the atmosphere became really relaxed, and then the prince and Prince Rui both started chatting.
From Jinling to Liaodong, and then from the court to In the northwest, Zhu Yunsheng's marriage was finally recovered. The nine members of the family seemed very harmonious.
In the afternoon, there was a prisoner ceremony at the Ancestral Temple. The emperor stayed with the queen until half an hour before the ceremony, and then led the three of them. The prince left.
Baochai and the other three people, as well as Zhu Yunsheng, stayed to accompany the queen to continue talking to relieve her boredom.
As for the prisoner presentation ceremony, the Ministry of Rites and Inner Courts were together. It has been prepared for more than ten days, and now everything is ready.
This kind of ceremony has detailed regulations, and it is now being carried out very smoothly.Chang, North Korea's Li Shuo and his son were in shackles, and a large group of rebellious ministers were publicly sacrificed and captured.
This ceremony was very grand. All civil and military officials from the fifth rank and above in Beijing were present, and the atmosphere of a great victory was felt at the scene.
Zhu Xianming cares about achievements, and the pacification of Liaodong was his achievement, so he was in a good mood at this time.
If the emperor is the protagonist of this ceremony, then Zhu Jinghong should be the first supporting role. After all, he presided over the Korean War.
But in order to avoid the limelight, he shrank himself behind the Crown Prince and Prince Rui, trying his best to reduce his presence as much as possible.
The prisoner presentation ceremony took nearly an hour, and the sun had already set by the time the emperor was sent back to the palace.
Prince Rui always wanted to report to the emperor alone, so he did not leave with Zhu Jinghong and the prince.
"Thirteenth brother, what do you mean by saying that the sixth brother stayed?"
"I don't know, maybe it's something about the Shibo Division!"
"When you return to Beijing this time, I haven't taken care of you yet. How about you come to my house tomorrow?"
What does the fourth child mean by inviting me to a banquet?
No matter what he meant, Zhu Jinghong didn't want to go. He didn't want to bother at all during this period.
"Ah... Fourth brother, please give me a break for a couple of days. There will be a lot of things going on in my house after being away for a year!"
"Okay...we'll talk about it in a few days." OK!" Zhu Jingyuan replied.
The two continued to walk outside the palace, and after a while of silence, they heard Zhu Jingyuan say: "Recently, I received news that someone in the court wants to impeach you again!"
"Say When you were in North Korea, you allowed the soldiers to commit lewdness and robbery, and you also said that you were involved in it and defiled the North Korean palace!" Zhu Jinghong replied angrily: "Fourth brother, these people are used to talking nonsense, I can do it! Stand up straight, don't be afraid of them biting anyone!"
As he said this, Zhu Jinghong was still thinking about why the fourth child was telling him this.
"You don't have to worry too much. I have ordered someone to defend you and explain the misunderstanding clearly!"
The fourth child can help me. Are you... trying to win over me?
The wooing of the fourth child was very obvious in the first two years, but since Zhu Jinghong came back from the northwest, it has almost never happened again.
North Korea made a mistake this year. This guy’s disciples also participated in the impeachment, but he himself had to come forward to suppress it due to the emperor’s decree.
Could it be that he felt threatened by Lao Liu and wanted me to stand up for him? Zhu Jinghong guessed.
"Thank you, fourth brother!"
Zhu Jingyuan stopped and said solemnly: "You and I, brothers, why bother to say thank you, see you outside!"
Zhu Jinghong It is certain that this fourth brother is very afraid of him. Even so, he still compromises, which shows that he has indeed grown a lot compared to the past.
After this conversation, in the subsequent conversation between the two of them, the fourth brother The good intentions were more obvious, making it easy for Zhu Jinghong to understand.
For the prince, provokingZhu Jinghong would not suffer a loss in a fight with Lao Liu, so he had every reason to do so.
The two talked some useless nonsense and finally walked out of Donghua Gate.
Because the queen was tired, Baochai and others had already left, so after leaving Donghua Gate, Zhu Jinghong did not rush to get on the sedan, but followed the prince all the way to the East Palace.
Of course he did it for outsiders to see, firstly to show brotherly respect, and secondly to show goodwill to the prince.
For Zhu Jinghong, although the prince wanted to take advantage of him, at least he could have one less enemy instead of dealing with two brothers at the same time.
As for being used, as long as he is cunning enough, there is no telling who is using whom.
Watching the prince return to the palace, Zhu Jinghong got on the sedan and was carried out of the palace towards the palace.
When he returned home, it was almost dark. When he returned to the dormitory, he found Baochai waiting for him.
"Have you eaten?"
"The old man doesn't care about dinner!"
Baochai said with a smile: "Then let the two royal chefs cook something for you. What?”
The people waiting in the hall had been turned away, so when Zhu Jinghong approached, Baochai personally poured him tea and handed it to him.
"Did you really bring someone back?" Zhu Jinghong sat next to Baochai.
"Father, emperor and mother, you can never tell lies!"
Zhu Jinghong smiled and replied: "Then let them do it!"
So Bao Chai shouted outside: "Pass the meal around!"
She had arranged all this, and the banquet could begin only when Zhu Jinghong came back.
"When I came out of Qianqing Palace today, the fourth child said a lot to me. I think he wanted to win me over..."
Getting up and walking behind Zhu Jinghong, Baochai was careful He took off his hat and asked at the same time: "What did you say?"
"He said someone wanted to impeach me, and he was willing to help me resolve the crisis!"
Speaking of Here, Zhu Jinghong turned around and asked: "I guess... he wanted to win me over to deal with Lao Liu, but why do you think he suddenly changed his attitude?"
"Now that King Rui is powerful, it is normal for him to adjust his strategy. !”
Prince Rui’s power is not just a matter of four words. This guy’s trip to Jinling can be said to have greatly increased his popularity in the south.
It was nothing to Zhu Jinghong, but the ups and downs had a great impact on the prince.
"Today you entered Kunning Palace and threw a stool in front of Prince Rui. He thought that you and Prince Rui were even more at odds with each other and it was normal for him to want to take advantage of you!"
"Yes!"
"By the way, the prisoner presentation ceremony has passed. When do you plan to inform your father about the candidate for the king of North Korea?"
Zhu Jinghong sighed : "It's better to slow down. The old man didn't even discuss this matter in court. I'm afraid it wouldn't be good for me to take the initiative to mention it!"
"That's the truth!"
"So Put it on hold for now?"
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "Do you think it's possible... that the old man doesn't want to be crowned King of Korea?"
"What do you mean? ”
Zhu Jinghong replied: “How could he not want such achievements as opening up new territories and reforming the land?” "
This matter is indeed very strange. The King of Korea has been vacant for three months. No matter what, it should be brought up for discussion, but there is no movement at the moment.
Baochai smiled and said: "If this is really the case, your plan will be ruined! "
Zhu Jinghong smiled, but didn't say much.
"The prince said that he would go to the East Palace for a banquet in a few days, and he wanted to help me clean up the dust! ”
“Then go...otherwise you won’t offend someone!” ”
The two chatted like this. Finally, the dinner was served, and they chatted about some trivial matters in the house.
Finally, they also talked about Lin Hongyu and Baochai. Arrangement with Jia Yun.
Lin Hongyu has already adopted her godmother, and now her status has changed drastically. There is no problem in marrying Jia Yun.
“Jia Yun is supervising shipbuilding in Jinling. Since they are in love, if he returns to Beijing this year, he will let them get married! "
"That's what I plan to do too! Baochai responded.
The two were silent for a while, and Baochai couldn't help but ask again: "Are you really okay after those few whippings?" ”
Zhu Jinghong smiled and said: “With my physique, what can happen to me? I’m afraid that the prince and the sixth child will not be happy!” "
Baochai muttered: "They didn't get hit a few times! "
Zhu Jinghong laughed and said: "Thank you, Princess, for your care! "
"We have all gone back home today. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, how about we also hold a banquet in the back garden to welcome you and wash away the dust? ”
“Let the princess do whatever she wants! ”
The couple chatted intimately, and at the other end of Prince Rui’s Mansion, Zhu Jingyuan was also talking to Chen Zhi.
At this time, Zhu Jingyuan was lying on the bed, and Chen Zhizheng personally gave He applied medicine on his back.
Suffering the pain, Zhu Jingyuan said, "Do you think the fourth child has lost his head? Lao Shisan is already so powerful, yet he still tries to win over others! "
"Who does he think he is? Why can you control Lao Shisan? "
Chen Zhi replied: "Maybe the fourth child has gone crazy and only wants to bring us down. He doesn't care about anything else! ”
“I would say that the old man is also indecisive. What is the purpose of keeping a person like the fourth child?” Wouldn't it be better to just abolish it and make room for it? ”
Chen Zhi asked back: “Then I’ll replace you and play tricks with him in the ring?” "
Zhu Jingyuan said with a smile: "I will definitely not have any dissatisfaction by then and will wait for my succession! "
"I don't even believe what you say! "Chen Zhi laughed and scolded.
The two were silent for a while, and Chen Zhi suddenly said: "In a few days, Uncle Yongtai will come to Beijing. I have an idea! "
"Say! "
Chen Zhi said: "We try to fish out Ting Yatou, what do you think? "
"Why bother doing such a thankless thing! ”
"This is not a thankless task. On the one hand, it can make Uncle Yongtai favor us and say more good things about us!"
"On the other hand, Tingting girl is the concubine of Prince Xiang. Let her go to talk to the Xue family If the girl's fight can disturb the peace of Prince Xiang's palace, it will be a good thing for us!"
"I'm afraid my mother won't agree!" Zhu Jingyuan said hesitantly.
Chen Zhi said: "That is her biological niece after all. She has been locked up for more than a year, and her anger has long since dissipated!"
"It's up to you. , I will not interfere in this matter!" Zhu Jingyuan replied.
After the matter was settled, Chen Zhi asked again: "Do you still want to push for the next impeachment?"
Zhu Jingyuan replied: "You can take it slow, no more." Collect some evidence, even if the old man really wants to protect him, he still has to show off to Old Thirteen!"
