The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 156 Zhu Yuanzhang's Words

The little eunuch knelt down on the ground, kept kowtow, and shouted: "Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, spare your life." '

As eunuchs, especially eunuchs who serve emperors and grandchildren like Zhu Yunqi, their status in the palace is actually quite high.

Of course, this status is only relative to other eunuchs. As far as Zhu Yuanzhang is currently guarding the palace, all eunuchs and female officials can be regarded as soy sauce roles, and only the ceremonial supervisor can show his head.

Others have no place at all.

The little eunuch was also very clever to be able to sneak into Zhu Yunqi's side. The words just now seemed to have slipped out without a doubt, so it was not a reminder to his master.

He knew more clearly that His Highness still had Huang Hanlin's character, and if he was invincible, he would be beaten.

But if it is true, with such strict rules in the palace, it is specified that the sun of tomorrow will not be seen.

"Let's talk about it carefully. You have been with me for several years. Now, if you want to help others to hide this matter from me, it won't work."

Seeing that the little eunuch kept kowtow to admit his mistake, Zhu Yunxuan felt a little soft-hearted when he kowtowed to the ground.

After all, he himself is not very old, and he mostly gets along with these little eunuchs on weekdays, and it is normal to miss old feelings.

The little eunuch paused for a while, and after a little hesitation, he knelt down on the ground and refused to speak.

Huang Zicheng frowned slightly. He was actually familiar with these little eunuchs, and soon realized that the situation was different.

He had heard about some things in the palace, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "What happened in the palace last night, you can tell."

Hearing this, the little eunuch raised his head slightly, still bowed his head tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty slept in Kunning Palace last night."

The little eunuch dared to disclose so much information now, if anyone named him, he would definitely be found out.

The circle in the palace is neither big nor small.

The most important thing is that for the eunuchs, there is never any need for evidence these days, as long as they can guess that you did it, that's enough.

The little eunuch said so ambiguously, but also to leave a way out for himself, so His Highness, Huang Hanlin is just guessing, if he really guesses it, it has nothing to do with him.

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he said directly: "Impossible, how could Grandpa Huang go to sleep in Kunning Palace, Kunning Palace is taboo for Grandpa Huang."

The little eunuch lay on the ground, and refused to answer any questions anyway. At this point, if he said anything more, he would not take his own life seriously.

Hearing this, Huang Zicheng turned his head to look at the Fengtian Gate which had been closed again. There was no sign of the emperor riding there, and then he said to Zhu Yunwen, "Your Highness, unless it is, he has returned to the palace."

Zhu Yunwen's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Huang Zicheng in disbelief, and then he also glanced at Fengtianmen.

His lips parted slightly, wanting to say something but didn't know how to speak.

In the end, there was a moment of silence, looking at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, he said, "Get up, you are still loyal."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The little eunuch got up from the ground, still bowed his body, and lowered his head slightly.

"Sir." Zhu Yunqi called softly.

Huang Zicheng shook his head slightly, and said, "The morning court is about to start, it's not good to delay the time, let's talk about it after finishing the morning court first."

Zhu Yunwen nodded, and then went to Fengtian Hall together.

Inside the Tianjie Temple, there was a surge of monks, and even monks began to gather. Many pilgrims were told that they needed to make way for the distinguished guests, and those who were already offering incense had to be postponed.

Tianjie Temple is currently the highest-level temple in the Ming Dynasty. The least people who can come here to burn incense and pray for blessings are rich families, and the most are the wives and daughters of officials.

Faced with the notification from the monks of Tianjie Temple, many pilgrims cooperated one after another.

Living here in the capital, eyesight is the most important thing, just find a random passerby, maybe there is a lot of money in the family.

Before knowing the details, normal people would not say that they acted recklessly.

After all, this is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. After the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, even the Xungui family was dominated by farmers in the early days. In terms of life style, those like Sapphire are only a minority after all, and they are generally not bad.

"Here's what happened."

Zhao Xiangxi, who was dressed as a maidservant, couldn't help asking the woman pretending to be her Korean identity.

"Bengong Ye Yueqing, please pay attention to Xiangxi's title of Princess Bengong Yueqing in the future. After all, this is the Great Tomorrow Temple. Your nonsense will only bring disaster to yourself and even the Fengyang Zhao family."

Ye Yueqing said in a flat tone that she was the one who had been on the road as Zhao Xiangxi's maid.

"You are not Korean." Zhao Xiangxi frowned upon hearing this.

"When did Bengong say that he is from Korea?" Ye Yueqing said calmly, her tone was very calm and full of momentum.

The well-dressed Ye Yueqing, even standing next to Zhao Xiangxi, is not inferior.

The beauty of the two belonged to different levels of division.

Zhao Xiangxi belongs to the charming type, while Ye Yueqing, as the name suggests, belongs to the gentleness of Jiangnan women, but because of other factors of her own, she also has a trace of heroism.

There is a hint of sassyness in the gentleness, especially in recent days, after the etiquette training in Tianjie Temple, it has a bit more dignified taste.

Zhao Xiangxi asked: "Aren't you committing a serious crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Ye Yueqing smiled and said: "How is it possible, she is just a concubine, and the key lies in the relationship between Daming and Goryeo, no one will care about these."

"Furthermore, I have a Korean household registration, so I can naturally be regarded as a Korean. I have all the documents and seals. This cannot be faked."

Zhao Xiangxi said disdainfully: "Even so, you have to bear my name for the rest of your life."

Ye Yueqing smiled lightly: "You don't know yet, the list sent to Tianjie Temple by the envoy is not Zhao Xiangxi, but Ye Yueqing."

Zhao Xiangxi's complexion suddenly turned gloomy, she didn't expect that these people were so bold, she wanted to sneer at her, but she didn't speak in the end.

At present, she has begun to adjust her attitude.

After all, she is Ye Yueqing's maid now, and after entering the palace, she can only rely on Ye Yueqing for everything. If she really wants to live well in the Daming Palace, Ye Yueqing is also the only one to rely on.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiangxi can only learn how to be a good maid, although she is a bit unwilling.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiangxi was trained in serving people when he was in the family.

The difference is that the man is just replaced by a woman.

This doesn't bother her.

"There are distinguished guests from Tianjie Temple, presumably the top dignitaries of Ming Dynasty, otherwise Tianjie Temple would not be so quiet. I will find an opportunity later, and I will take you to have a look."

Seeing Zhao Xiangxi's obedient appearance, Ye Yueqing didn't chase after him. The most important thing was that Zhao Xiangxi would follow his boss at that time, so the concept would be completely different.

Goryeo is considered a relatively important existence among the many tributary states to Ming Dynasty.

So when the Koryo envoys proposed to Tianjie Temple to meet the distinguished guests together, they were not rejected.

At the gate of Tianjie Temple,
When Zhu Ying arrived in the dragon boat, the place had already been emptied.

Zhu Ying originally thought that there were only a few dozen Jinyi guards at the beginning, but after leaving Fengtianmen, another 300 guards followed.

The bustling streets of Nanjing were directly banned by the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and they arrived at the Tianjie Temple unimpeded all the way.

The gate where the eunuchs of the Heaven Realm come and go has also been persuaded by the monks to leave, and dozens of Jin Yiwei have already guarded here.

Jin Yiwei stepped forward, whoever dared to stay would be courting death.

No matter what kind of minister's family he is, it is considered light to execute him directly.

"I have seen Your Highness."

When Zhu Ying stepped down from the dragon, many monks of high rank clasped their hands together and saluted.

Zhu Ying nodded slightly, and went up on foot when she arrived.

Of course, you can choose a sedan chair, but as far as Zhu Ying is concerned, it is not necessary.

Zhu Ying didn't expect that she just wanted to come and have a look. After making such a big scene, she had a full understanding of her own dignity.

The monks are not qualified to talk to Zhu Ying when Zhu Ying has no intention to communicate. The eunuch Guo Zhong, the eunuch of Bingbi, will lead the way and enter the temple directly.

The Jinyi guards who came with them had already set up their defenses in front, strictly forbidding anyone to approach.

At the same time, in the Daming Palace, Fengtian Hall.

In the early morning, Zhu Yuanzhang directly proposed the idea of ​​​​separating the military and the government, and asked the civil and military ministers to discuss it.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat high on the dragon chair, watched the ministers whispering to each other, and waited patiently.

The current Ming Dynasty is not a world of civil servants like the middle and late Ming Dynasty. As the founding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang said what he said, that is what he said. Even if he put forward contrary opinions, he had to be careful with his words.

It is impossible for ministers who like to directly oppose to stay in the court today.

"Whether our method works or not, you can just speak up, and we don't blame you. If you have any suggestions, you can put them forward."

"Pushing and shoving like this, what do we want you ministers to do here? A vegetarian meal!"

Seeing that he didn't stand up for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang became a little impatient, and he just scolded the officials.

All the officials trembled in fright and tried to evade each other. In the end, it was natural that the five ministers took the lead.

Minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Yu, looked at the surrounding ministers looking at her, and took a step forward helplessly.

After all, he has the most right to speak as the minister of the Ministry of War for such issues as military power.

"His Majesty, I think this method is very good. Many generals are not good at governing the country. It is the most suitable combination of civil and military."

The reason why many civil servants didn't want to answer is that in their view, after the separation of military and government, it is equivalent to the fact that civil servants can also intervene in military affairs. To a certain extent, it is a weakening of generals, so they are naturally happy.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak when he heard the words, but turned his eyes to the military officer.

The military attaches who came to the court were headed by officials from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, but because there were many generals and because they had to garrison various places, there were not many people in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.

In the previous early dynasties, it was basically a dispensable role.

There are left and right governors in each of the five armies' governor's mansions.The governor and the same knowledge, from Yipin.The governor's work is the second grade.

At present, in the early court, the seniority is relatively old, that is, Geng Bingwen.

Seeing His Majesty's eyes turned, Geng Bingwen had no choice but to step forward and said: "I think Ru Shangshu is right."

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this may be of great concern. Regarding the decision-making of the army, in the court, it seems that everyone has no objection to the decision-making of the army.

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and thought to themselves: Your Majesty has rested for a while, and is about to kill again.
