The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"This high arch. How dare you force me in front of me. It's just...it's lawless." After Zhu Zaihou came down to court.Did not go to the royal study.Did not go to the queen's bedroom.Instead, he came to the bedroom of Concubine Li Gui, Zhu Yijun's biological mother.Feeling irritable, he wanted to find someone to talk about the depression in his heart.However, even if you are angry now, he still retains a trace of reason.Knowing that her queen, Chen, has always been weak and sick.Did not bother him.And most of the women in the palace who serve him in bed on weekdays are just to please him.So he came to Concubine Li Gui's bedroom.

Concubine Li Gui is now immersed in the joy brought to her by her newborn baby Zhu Yiliu.Although Zhu Yijun is still an extremely obedient child in front of her.But as a mother.There is always something to be concerned about the children born later.Today she is teasing Zhu Yiliu.The child is just over a year old.It is the time when the powder is carved with jade and the cutest.Concubine Li Gui didn't even notice the strange situation that Zhu Yijun, who hadn't seen him for a while, just asked the little eunuch to come to say hello.

Seeing Zhu Zaihou walking in hastily.Concubine Li Gui had a strange expression on her face.Thinking that Zhu Zaihou, who was always tepid on weekdays, would look like this again.Concubine Li Gui didn't know what to do.I don't know what happened to him.Ever since.Concubine Li Gui, who was just about to ask, heard Zhu Zaihou's almost roaring voice before she spoke.

Zhu Yiliu, who was still playing happily in his mother's arms just now, was startled by his father's loud roar.He doesn't know much about royal etiquette these days.Immediately burst into tears.The shrill voice was really earth-shattering and heart-piercing.Zhu Zaihou heard his son cry.I knew I was scaring the child.It's just that he is bored now.In addition, there are many court ladies and eunuchs on the side.It's hard to say anything about forgiveness.

Concubine Li Gui followed Zhu Zaihou for many years.It is clear about his temper.Know when to pose as a concubine.Also know when to put on the posture of a current prince's mother.Although she didn't know what happened.But seeing Zhu Zaihou, who is usually gentle and gentle, is like this now.Obviously in a fit of rage.She didn't say anything to blame.Instead, he quickly winked and asked the maid on the side to come over and say that Zhu Yichun, who was still crying, hugged him.He asked the other maids and eunuchs in the bedroom to go out and close the door.Then he walked slowly to Zhu Zaihou's side.Help him to sit down.Pour him a cup of tea.He opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, sit down quickly. Calm down. Why bother to get angry over these trivial matters. Drink a cup of tea to calm the shock." While saying these words.Concubine Li Gui couldn't help thinking in her heart.I remembered that Zhu Zaihou had just mentioned Gao Gong.Could it be that the high arch made Zhu Zaihou angry.

Zhu Zaihou, who picked up the teacup, just wanted to put the quilt by his mouth.Hearing what Concubine Li Gui said.He couldn't help thinking of the troubles Gao Gong had brought to him.He put the cup in his hand on the table hard.Regardless of the splashed tea, it splashed on his dragon robe and Concubine Li Gui.He stood up again and sighed.

Concubine Li Gui didn't feel the slightest bit of blame in her heart.I don't even care about the tea stains on my clothes.Instead, those silk handkerchiefs came to Zhu Zaihou's side to wipe them gently.He also said in his mouth: "Why is your majesty doing this? If it is good or bad by those anger. This is what to do."

Hearing what his concubine said.Zhu Zaihou also felt that he had lost his composure.Just wanted to speak.There was another knock at the door.Long Qing, who didn't want to pay attention, turned back to the chair and sat down.The person outside the door spoke: "Report to Your Majesty, the year of the imperial concubine. The servants have something to play." It was the voice of a young eunuch.

Concubine Li knew that Zhu Zaihou was angry.I don't want to ignore it.But afraid of something important.I had no choice but to ask, "What's the matter. It's important."

The little eunuch outside is a newcomer who has only entered the palace for a few months.Many things are simply not clear.This time, I was dragged to top the tank without knowing where I was.He was also happy that he had been able to get in touch with the emperor and the imperial concubine not long after entering the palace.Now I hear Li Guifei's culture.Immediately replied: "Go back to your mother. The servants are here to hand over the papers to His Majesty. It is the papers from Mr. Gao, the chief assistant of the cabinet." The words revealed joy and flattery.

Li Guifei knew something bad when she heard it.I thought the eunuch was too pessimistic.How come which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.Sure enough, the sound of the cup breaking on the ground came from behind.Then she saw Zhu Zaihou walking straight towards the gate.It was too late to stop it.

Zhu Zaihou was angry.Concubine Li Gui's consolation and gentleness just now calmed him down for the time being.Who knew that the little eunuch who was framed didn't know this at all.Opening his mouth, he brought the word "Gao Gong".But the sound is strangely festive.The anger that had just subsided in Zhu Zaihou's heart flared up again.Go over and open the door.He saw the eunuch kneeling respectfully in front of the door.Holding two booklets in both hands above his head.

Zhu Zaihou looked at the two documents.A high arch appeared in my heart.The anger in my heart is even worse.With a split hand, he snatched the two copies from his hand.The eunuch was kneeling there with his head bowed.Saw the door open.Those who came out were wearing dragon boots.I am very happy.I don't know...

Zhu Zaihou snatched two copybooks without reading them.It fell on the eunuch's head.Although two copies are too light.No strength.But the eunuch was still dumbfounded by Long Qing's blow.Haven't recovered yet.Zhu Zaihou kicked him with his dragon boots.Immediately kicked the eunuch on his back.fell to the ground.How could Zhu Zaihou manage so much.Going forward, he kicked the eunuch violently.It's just that Zhu Zaihou had already been hollowed out by those whores and women.Where is the strength.It didn't hurt much to kick the eunuch.But the eunuch was taken aback.Lie on the ground and dare not move.I immediately understood in my heart that I was framed by someone.He is also very clever.Immediately screamed. "What kind of emperor spare your life" or something like that.The sound was very miserable.The court ladies and eunuchs standing outside the door saw Zhu Zaihou, who had never lost his temper before, looking like this now.Everyone was terrified.How dare you step forward to persuade me to drive.

Concubine Li Gui saw that the eunuch was a face she had never seen before.Immediately knew that this was a rookie who was caught to top the tank.She has a good heart, too.He hurried forward to persuade him: "Your Majesty. Your Majesty. Don't be impatient. Listen to my concubine. This eunuch is also innocent. Why bother to get angry. It would be bad if you hurt yourself."

Zhu Zaihou didn't seem to hear it.He kicked a few more times.I don't know if it's exhausting or what.Zhu Zaihou, who stopped his shadowless feet, turned back to the room and sat back on the chair.Maybe it was thirsty.Zhu Zaihou didn't use teacups either.Regardless of the image of his own emperor.Pick up the teapot and take off the lid and pour it like this.The court ladies and eunuchs on the side had never seen Zhu Zaihou like this.Turn your face away quickly.

Concubine Li Gui sent the little eunuch away quickly with her eyes.He turned his head and saw this scene.But she wasn't surprised at all.When I was in Prince Yu's Mansion.Every time Zhu Zaihou heard the news of Jiajing from the palace.Most of them are like this.Concubine Li Gui picked up the folder that fell on the ground.Enter the house and close the door and come to Zhu Zaihou.

Zhu Zaihou put down the teapot.Looking at the booklet in Concubine Li Gui's hand.Regardless of the drenched dragon robe on his body.He opened his mouth and said: "This is a mortal thing. What are you doing when you pick it up?"

Concubine Li Gui did not answer.But put the fold aside.Smile softly.Said: "The concubine waits for His Majesty to change clothes. Although it is summer, the weather is very hot. But wearing this wet clothes on His Majesty will definitely make you uncomfortable."

Zhu Zaihou looked at his clothes.He laughed twice.Concubine Li Gui didn't care.He took out the dragon robe that Zhu Zaihou had prepared for Zhu Zaihou in his bedroom and put it on for him.

Changed clothes for Zhu Zaihou.Concubine Li Gui picked up the two papers again.He didn't care about the ancestral precept set by Zhu Yuanzhang that the harem should not interfere in politics.I read it in front of Zhu Zaihou.And Zhu Zaihou didn't care.As if you didn't see it.

The story of Gao Gong's impeachment of Xu Jie is not long.Concubine Li Gui finished reading it in a while.On the contrary, there is a lot of space in the booklet that contains the testimonies of those peasants.But Concubine Li Gui, who already understood the reason, didn't need to look any further.

"The concubine thought it was something that made His Majesty so angry. So it was because of this matter." Li Guifei said with a smile.

Knowing she wasn't laughing at herself.But Zhu Zaihou still hummed softly.Concubine Li Gui didn't care at all.Came to the back of Zhu Zaihou's chair and rubbed his shoulders lightly for him.He opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty is too angry now. But just being angry can't solve this matter. Gao Gong will still come to trouble Your Majesty in a few days. Your Majesty should think about what to do."

"Oh." Hearing Concubine Li Gui's words.Zhu Zaihou let out a long sigh.

As soon as Li Guifei heard it, she knew that Zhu Zaihou had already started to think about her words.She is not in a hurry.Still pressing his shoulders for Zhu Zaihou.

half an hour.Only then did Zhu Zaihou speak: "This matter. I don't know what to do anymore."

"Your Majesty once said it in the ears of my concubine. Do you really hate Xu Jie? Why is there someone who wants to punish him now? Your Majesty is not happy." Concubine Li Gui said playfully.

"I hate it. It's not hatred. Besides, this Xu Jie is just relying on his own status to say something big." Zhu Zaihou said. "And this Gao Gong. The excerpt he wrote was clearly intended to put Xu Jie to death."

"Then what exactly does Your Majesty mean?" Concubine Li Gui wanted to probe Zhu Zaihou's tone first.

"Originally, it would be fine if I didn't know the truth. But Zhang Aiqing was on the Daoist book a few days ago. He talked about this matter. Obviously it was Xu Jie who did it for those farmers." Zhu Zaihou told the story. "Yesterday, however, Feng Bao gave me the notebook that Gao Gong had prepared. It was the complete opposite of what Zhang Aiqing wrote. Xu Jie has become a local tyrant who specializes in oppressing farmers. He is the most stubborn."

Concubine Li naturally knew that the "Zhang Aiqing" Zhu Zaihou said referred to Zhang Fan.After listening to this.She couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, which of these two people is telling the truth. Although the concubine doesn't know this, it's just that these two people and Xu Jie are a little unhappy."

"Zhang Aiqing definitely won't. Although Xu Jie obstructed him many times, it didn't cause any blow to Zhang Aiqing. Moreover, Zhang Aiqing acted just like his teacher Zhang Juzheng. He definitely wouldn't pursue him so hard." Zhu Zaihou didn't even think about it just said. "But Gao Gong is different. The two times when he returned home from work was because of Xu Jie. How could he not hold a grudge against him."

Concubine Li Gui suddenly thought that Gao Gong would be able to return to court this time.And as soon as he came back, he served as the chief assistant of the cabinet.But thanks to Zhang Juzheng.When I was in Prince Yu's Mansion.Concubine Li Gui quite admired Zhang Juzheng's character.Now it's time to ask the previous question.

After listening to Concubine Li Gui's questioning.Zhu Zaihou felt a little uncomfortable going back.He knew it in his heart.Zhang Juzheng's recommendation of Gao Gong was not because of any serious conflict with his mentor Xu Jie.It's not because he and Gao Gong settled down.But to attack those people in the DPRK.Zhu Zaihou also acquiesced in this matter.But now... after thinking about it.Zhu Zaihou could only tell Concubine Li that Zhang Juzheng was also afraid of gossip.On the other hand, Li Chunfang seemed to be indifferent to worldly affairs.In addition, Guo Pu kept saying good things about Gao Gong at that time.Forced to do so.Zhang Juzheng recommended Gao Gong.

Concubine Li Gui was relieved when she heard this.Think about it.She said: "Actually, between Yi Chen and his concubines. Why should His Majesty be angry? Isn't it enough to find out the truth of this matter?"

"My concubine doesn't know. I'm not mad at this." Zhu Zaihou said. "I am so angry that Gao Gong and Dang Chong are combined together. The inner court and the outer court colluded with each other. The book that Feng Bao presented to me yesterday was Gao Gong secretly stuffed into Dang Chong. I was going to let him present it to me. But it was Feng Bao. Don't take advantage of the rush. Secretly hand it over to me. I only know about it."

Li Guifei understood as soon as she heard it.She naturally knew what Feng Bao was thinking.Now he can take his chance.But there was one thing she didn't know.He couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, since Gao Gong colluded with Meng Chong. This is a violation of Taizu's legacy. Your Majesty just needs to investigate and deal with it."

"What's the use. I can't find any definite evidence. Gao Gong just reneges on his debts. Even if I am the emperor, there is nothing he can do now as the chief minister of the cabinet." When he said the words "chief minister of the cabinet".Zhu Zaihou gritted his teeth.

"Then what is His Majesty worrying about?" Li Guifei asked.

"I am Qi Gaogong. Qi Gaogong was in the early court today. He openly forced me to order Xu Jie to be arrested on the spot in front of the officials." It turned out that Zhu Zaihou was really angry because of Gao Gong's actions in the hall today. It made him very embarrassing as an emperor.

Concubine Li Gui, who understood this, could not persuade Zhu Zaihou to let go of this matter.It's just that she usually doesn't have less contact with these things.But now I have no idea for a while: "Then. His Majesty intends to..."

"Hmph. I want Gao Gong to know. Don't think I'm usually friendly. But I'm also the emperor of Ming Dynasty. I can't tolerate him being so presumptuous." Zhu Zaihou said.At this moment, he is more like an emperor than ever before.

Concubine Li Gui heard from the side.Knowing that Gao Gong is going to be in trouble.It's probably good to save your life.But this matter has nothing to do with her.That's the way things are with the royal family.Besides, she doesn't like Gao Gong very much.

Think about it.Concubine Li Gui suddenly thought.Zhu Zaihou hadn't been to his bedroom for a long time.Now she is almost 30 years old.It is the time when a woman's needs are strongest.Looking at Zhu Zaihou.Concubine Li Gui, who was full of fantasies, couldn't help but blush.

Come to Zhu Zaihou.She said: "Let's not talk about these troubles. Your Majesty hasn't come to the concubine's bedroom for a long time. It's also very hot today. Since your majesty is here today, you can stay here with the concubine. The concubine only let the imperial dining room today Make something iced. It’s just for your majesty to go to the fire.” When he said the last three words.Concubine Li Gui couldn't help but blushed.The sound is much lower.

Zhu Zaihou looked at her mature and beautiful face.It was as if it was the first time that he discovered how beautiful this woman who had been with him for ten years was.And just as Concubine Li Gui said just now.Zhu Zaihou felt that he was very angry now.As for whether it was the fire caused by Gao Gong.Whether there are other reasons is unknown.It's just that he has made up his mind to stay.As for things that are detrimental to etiquette like prostitution in the daytime.This is not the first time Zhu Zaihou has done it.How could the admiral and eunuch in charge of etiquette in the palace ask questions.
