Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 144 Rebellious grandson, do you know that this is a crime of deceiving the king!

Huang Zicheng also held the post of editor of the Imperial Academy, so as soon as he entered the Wenhua Hall, a group of editors immediately stood up and saluted.

"Meet Huang Xiuzhuan!"

Huang Zicheng nodded and waved his hands.

"Everyone is busy, I'm just here for a walk!"

Seeing what he said, everyone got busy.

The Wenhua Palace was originally the place where the prince worked, but now that the prince is dead, they have nothing to do but drink tea and chat, bragging and nonsense.

"Have you heard that His Majesty fell asleep when he went to court recently?"

"It's impossible!"

"Your Majesty is a man of God. After staying up for days and nights without closing your eyes, your eyes are like lightning!"

"It was my friend in the Criminal Department who said that he reported the case to His Majesty yesterday, but His Majesty fell asleep..."

Huang Zicheng stood aside and listened for a while, and couldn't hold back the fire of gossip anymore when he heard this, so he hurriedly joined the crowd and shook his lips and drummed his tongue.

"Do you know why this is?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt that there was something in Huang Zicheng's words, and hurriedly stood up and bowed their hands.

"Please ask Huang Xiu to solve the confusion!"

Huang Zicheng coughed on purpose, cleared his throat and said.

"I heard that His Majesty has been staying in the harem for more than ten consecutive days recently..."

"what?"

When everyone heard that 10,000 people didn't believe it, they questioned it one after another.

"Huang Xiuzhuan, these words may be nonsense. Your Majesty has been in charge of the country for 25 years, and he has never heard of being obsessed with the harem!"

"I also think it's very unlikely. Your Majesty wasn't obsessed when he was in his prime, so how could it be possible at such an advanced age..."

"Hi!"

"Don't believe me, do you know who said this?"

"Who?"

"His Royal Highness the Third Emperor!"

"His Royal Highness the Third Emperor lives in Qianqing Palace, so his words can still be false..."

"Uh uh..."

After hearing what Huang Zicheng said, everyone had to believe this ghost.

The Wenhua Palace is full of a group of big mouths who are too idle, and within a single noon, the news has already spread.

In the afternoon, even the unwelcome yamen of the Ministry of War knew that His Majesty the Emperor had newly promoted a favored concubine, and he had been favored for more than a month.

When the rumors spread to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it became nonsense like His Majesty the Emperor singing and singing every night, and courting women every night.

This made all the envoys of the Metropolitan Procuratorate suddenly suspicious, and tried their best to find out the source of the rumors. When they learned that it was from Huang Zicheng, and that there was someone close to Huang Zicheng, they immediately took it with them. Gift to visit, inquire further truth.

If it involves the feudal lord, even if they borrow some courage from them, they dare not talk nonsense.

Back then, in order to make his son a vassal king, Lao Zhu almost shot Lu Chang, who was then Minister of the Household Department, to death with an arrow in the hall.

But if it's His Majesty's private matter, it's a different matter. Even if His Majesty the Emperor is dissatisfied, he has nothing to do with them.

After all, what they did was for His Majesty's Eucharist, and for the country and country of Ming Dynasty.

If they are really punished for this, it will just fulfill their reputation of being outspoken and admonishing!
Ever since, a group of imperial censors obtained the scriptures from Huang Zicheng, and began to refine them when they returned.

The next day, Lao Zhu went to court as usual, and nothing major happened in the court.But when he returned to work in Qianqing Palace, he saw the memorials of several censors, and his lungs almost exploded.

"Zhang Tinglan, the censor of the Chendu Procuratorate, will play first!"

"Your Majesty has heard that His Majesty has often visited the harem recently, and I secretly think that this is inappropriate."

"My Ming Dynasty's billions of people depend entirely on His Majesty's grace. How can Your Majesty be greedy for the momentary pleasure and ignore all the subjects in the world?"

"Since His Majesty has been in power, he has eaten all day and night, and practiced the way of a sage king..."

After reading the memorial, Lao Zhu was so angry that he threw it on the ground.He still didn't think it was enough, so he went up and stepped on it a few times.

"Damn things!"

"Just after eating enough for a few days, you dare to meddle in our business!"

"Furthermore, how often did we go to the harem, we..."

When Lao Zhu said this, he suddenly realized a problem. He had indeed been to the harem a lot recently.

However, he went to the harem to simply sleep!
Lao Zhu patiently continued to read the memorial, and after a while, he saw another memorial from the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate asking him to take care of his body and keep in good health.

Although this memorial was much more tactful than the one just now, it still hurt Lao Zhu's self-esteem as a man.

"Don't say we are not obsessed with women, even if we are, what right do they have to talk about!"

When Qin Deshun and Erhu heard the emperor's abuse, they looked at each other with their eyes and nose, and pretended that they hadn't heard anything.

You don’t even need to think about who spread the news. Looking at the thousands of people in the palace, the only ones who can accurately grasp the emperor’s whereabouts are the concubine Guo Hui in the harem, and the one who squeezed the emperor out of the Qianqing Palace. The one that went...

After Lao Zhu saw several memorials advising him to cultivate his body and mind and avoid indulging in the affairs of the harem, he could no longer suppress his anger.

"Qin Deshun!"

"Can our harem still have some secrets!"

When Qin Deshun saw that the emperor was going to pin the pot on his head, he immediately knelt down in fright and explained.

"My lord, this servant dares to swear to the sky, this matter is really not spread by the servant!"

"Who else but you, who knows our whereabouts better than you..."

When Lao Zhu said this, he suddenly stopped, and the image of a little Ni Sun appeared in his mind.

"We know!"

"Er Hu, go to the main hall and have a look. If the master finishes his lectures, bring that Ni Sun back to us!"

"My lord..."

"Go!"

"promise!"

Not long after, Zhu Yunxi was brought back by Erhu, and Erhu told him the seriousness of the matter on the way, so as soon as he entered the hall, he rushed to admit his mistake before Lao Zhu got angry.

"Grandpa Huang calm down, grandson is wrong, grandson shouldn't go to the Daben Hall to brag and leak about Grandpa Huang!"

"The grandson knows that he has caused a catastrophe, so he is willing to accept the punishment of the emperor!"

Seeing that the grandson confessed his crime so well, Lao Zhu became suspicious, and wondered if the grandson was doing something wrong on purpose, right?
"Who did you tell?"

"Grandpa Huihuang, I just told a few Uncle Wangs and asked them if this would hurt their health..."

Old Zhu's eyebrows twisted into the word "Chuan" when he heard this. Is this something this grandson should care about?

"Then it happened to be overheard by my husband, who scolded us, and we stopped talking about it..."

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he secretly looked at Lao Zhu.

He has said everything that should be said, and now it depends on whether Lao Zhu can think of that level.

After hearing Ni Sun's words, Lao Zhu immediately showed a sneer on his face.

He finally understood that this grandson used himself, the emperor's grandfather, as an extra in order to fight against Huang Zicheng!
Thinking of this, Lao Zhu immediately pointed to the stool next to him.

"Go over there and lie down for us!"

"Oh……"

With a promise, Zhu Yunxi bite the bullet and lay down on the ground, and then took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and put it on his mouth.

Since he wanted to drive Huang Zicheng away, he had to bear some unbearable pain in his life!

Old Zhu was even angrier when he saw that his grandson had prepared so well.

This grandson is determined to fight Huang Zicheng to the end!

Of course, Lao Zhu didn't get used to him, and rewarded him with twenty lashes one after another, beating him till he screamed and then stopped.

"These twenty whips are not to punish you for breaking your mouth and talking nonsense about our affairs."

"We have lived most of our lives, walking upright, sitting upright, not afraid of being criticized!"

"We are punishing you to take revenge on Huang Zicheng, and you dare to use us, the emperor's grandfather!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard the words, he cried and cried to show that he was educated, and then went to the Tai Hospital to get medicine with his hands on his buttocks.

After Zhu Yunxi left, Lao Zhu was still very angry.

He said he wasn't angry, but he actually hated Huang Zicheng's big mouth to death.

The Dabentang is located in the imperial palace, and you can often hear the secret affairs of the palace. This time he can't control his mouth, so next time, next time, won't he be even more uncontrollable?
Just what is the reason to punish him?

Surely it can't be said that he leaked the affairs of the palace, wouldn't it make him seem too narrow-minded?
In addition, he is now responsible for teaching the prince and grandson, if he is publicly punished, it will also damage the face of the royal family.

But if I don't deal with him, I really can't swallow the bad breath in my heart!
Erhu saw the entanglement of the emperor, and offered a plan.

"My lord, I have an idea. There have been snitches in the city recently, and Ying Tianfu has been arresting them for several days without success."

"Mr. Huang's house is near the city gate, so it's easy to attract thieves..."

When Lao Zhu heard this and gave Erhu a hard look, he wondered to himself what kind of bad idea this was.

I am a majestic emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can I use such dirty methods to punish a courtier?
"To shut up!"

"We have our own concerns about this matter, so you don't need to worry about it!"

"promise……"

Although Erhu agreed with his lips, he was already thinking about how to deal with Huang Zicheng.

Because the emperor made it very clear just now, he just told him to shut up and not let him worry about it, he didn't say that he was not allowed to do anything!

The next day, when Lao Zhu learned that Huang Zicheng was put in a sack at night, was beaten up and thrown into the gutter, he was very angry and ordered a strict investigation, and he must give Huang Aiqing an explanation!
But after the court, he found fault and beat the two tigers up.

Erhu also knew why the emperor punished him, and when he heard the order to beat him again, he didn't say a word of argument, and ran to Jinyiwei to receive the punishment.

Anyway, they are all my subordinates, who dares to fight seriously?
Therefore, after the twenty big boards were beaten, the two tigers returned to the Qianqing Palace to be on duty without even breaking a skin.

Huang Zicheng was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He really had no choice but to ask the emperor for leave.

Fortunately, Lao Zhu also felt that this was a very dishonest thing, so he not only allowed him to take a vacation very happily, but also sent the imperial doctor to have a consultation, and Huang Zicheng was so moved that he wrote three notes of thanks.

During the period when Huang Zicheng was on vacation to recuperate from his injuries, the Dahon Hall once again regained its tranquility and harmony.

Zhu Yunxi had won the flag and became a bit more courageous. On the same day, he brought up the matter of moving out of the palace with Lao Zhu again, and the reason was very good, it was for the sake of the emperor's grandfather's reputation.

"Grandpa Huang, because your grandson interfered with your rest, the officials of the previous dynasty misunderstood you so much. Your grandson is really ashamed to stay here with you, why don't you let me move out to be with Uncle Thirteen!"

Lao Zhu was also a little bit moved when he heard this, and it was really not a problem that he always ran to the harem.

He can ignore the noisy officials of the former court, but the resentful eyes of the concubines in the harem are too tormenting, making us seem to be dying...

Lao Zhu hesitated for a while, still a little bit reluctant to part with his grandson, and set Zhu Yunxi an impossible goal.

"If you can practice your handwriting well, it's not that we can't think about it..."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"We don't set too high requirements for you, as long as you can reach half of Qi Tai's level, we will allow you to live outside the palace!"

Zhu Yunxi was overjoyed when he heard this. He learned calligraphy from Qi Tai, and he has already reached the same level as Qi Tai.

But Lao Zhu has always said nothing, and if he doesn't write in black and white, he will definitely not admit it when the time comes!
"Grandfather, can you make a written statement for your grandson, so that your grandson has something to look forward to?"

Old Zhu never thought that Zhu Yunxie could do it at all. After all, Qi Tai's calligraphy is based on the method of the second king. If he wants to reach half of Qi Tai's level, it is impossible to do it without ten or eight years of hard work.

Therefore, when he heard Dasun say that the words should be used as evidence, Lao Zhu agreed without even thinking about it.

"it is good!"

"Let's write you a letter right now!"

Lao Zhu wrote while reading.

"As long as our eldest grandson can write half as well as Qi Tai, we will allow our grandson to move out of the palace!"

"Kin this!"

Zhu Yunxi was delighted to see it from the sidelines.

"And Yuxi!"

"It just so happens that the jade seal is next to you, so just give me one by the way!"

"Good good!"

"Let's cover it for you!"

Lao Zhu immediately took the jade seal and put it on the written document.

Seeing that the old Zhu had finished covering the jade seal, Zhu Yunxi took away the writing with a "shua", and then put it on his small table and blew air carefully, hoping that the ink would dry quickly.

Seeing Dasun's eagerness, Lao Zhu had a wry smile on his face.

I really don't know where this grandson's self-confidence comes from. He really thinks that he has made some progress in writing and can be compared with Qi Tai?

"Now that the written documents are in hand, shouldn't it be time for you to do your homework?"

"promise!"

With a promise, Zhu Yunxi pressed the written documents under a pile of rice paper, silently recalling the formula of Xinliu calligraphy, and only concentrated on writing on the paper when he felt that it was almost done.

Lao Zhu was very pleased to see Dasun writing so intently, and took out a few memorials to review.

However, just when he had reviewed less than ten memorials, Zhu Yunxie approached expectantly.

"Grandpa, grandson finished writing, please check it!"

Old Zhu was startled when he heard this, it took less than half an hour, when did this grandson write so fast?

"Aren't you going to write [-] words today? Are you sure you've finished writing them all?"

"Yes!"

"Thousand-Character Essay has been silently written twice, not a single word is bad!"

Old Zhu took the copybook suspiciously, stood up from the chair in fright after only one glance, and then looked at Dasun in disbelief.

"Is this really what you wrote?"

"of course!"

"I'm sitting right under your old eyes, and there are so many people staring at me, of course there can't be a fake!"

"If Grandpa Huang doesn't believe it, grandson will write it to you right now!"

Old Zhu really didn't believe it, so he took out a piece of paper from the imperial case and asked Zhu Yunxi to write it to him on the spot.

Zhu Yunxi was not polite either, he picked up Lao Zhu's imperial pen and began to write on the paper.

Lao Zhu saw Dasun's pen act like a snake with his own eyes, and his jaw almost dropped from fright.

Is this still his grandson? Why is the handwriting so beautiful all of a sudden?
Although Lao Zhu was very surprised, he finally confirmed the fact that this grandson is a genius!
The only doubtful thing is that this grandson is hiding his clumsiness!

Practicing calligraphy can't be done overnight, the grandson's writing was only slightly better yesterday, but today he is faintly comparable to Qi Tai, there must be something wrong with it.

After seeing Dasun such a genius, Lao Zhu thought to himself that he was too hasty just now, why did he write that paper!
I have only stared at this grandson for a month, and this grandson has made such great progress. If I stare at him for a few more years, wouldn't he be able to approve memorials for me?

"Dasun, tell us the truth, have you been able to write well a long time ago, and deliberately pretend to be stupid in front of us every day?"

Zhu Yunxi felt guilty for a while when he heard this, but when he thought that he had written evidence in his hand, he was not afraid that Lao Zhu's words would not count.

"To be honest, my grandson has indeed learned to write from Mr. Qi, and he has learned it for a long time..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he burst into laughter immediately.

"Rebellious grandson!"

"You know this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
