Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 211 What should we do if someone asks our eldest grandson to become a vassal?
Old Zhu snatched Qin Kui's folder from Bai Yi's hand, and stood up from his chair angrily after only a few glances.

"Okay, you Qin Kui, did you have the guts to cheat our grandson!"

When Qin Kui heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed to plead guilty like pounding garlic.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"The minister was just confused for a while, and wrote nonsense when he was dying. This is not the minister's real thoughts!"

Lao Zhu ignored Qin Kui and continued to look down. When he finished reading the whole memorial, he walked in front of Qin Kui in a sullen manner.

"Raise your head!"

Qin Kui did as ordered, but as soon as he raised his head, Lao Zhu slapped him on the face with a memorial.

How can Lao Zhu relieve his anger with a slap?
Bowing left and right, he drew Qin Kui dozens of times in succession, and Lao Zhu sat down on the chair again with a grunt, panting heavily.

"Humph!"

"Even if you still have a little conscience, you still remember that you are a fellow villager with us, otherwise we wouldn't have taken this as a slap in the face, and ordered someone to drag you out and beat you to death!"

"Murdering the emperor's grandson, alienating the heavenly family, forming a clique for personal gain, any one of them is enough for us to destroy your whole family!"

When Qin Kui heard this, he kowtowed again. Compared with the pounding of garlic just now, this time he kowtowed to the ground, and every head made a "bang bang" sound.

And there is no complaint in my heart, only endless gratitude and self-blame.

"Your Majesty, I know my mistake!"

"This humble minister has failed His Majesty's kindness of knowledge and understanding, I implore His Majesty to punish him severely, woo woo woo..."

Lao Zhu kowtowed dozens of times to Qin Kui until his forehead bled, and then he opened his mouth quietly.

"I'll forgive you this time because you said a few human words at the end. If you dare to have those nasty thoughts in the future, don't blame us for not thinking of fellow countrymen!"

Qin Kui was ecstatic when he heard the words, it seems that His Majesty's love for the Three Emperors' grandsons is deeper than what he imagined!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"People from the Ministry of Industry have checked the warehouse. Because the fire was extinguished in time, at least half of the goods have not been burned!"

"With this half of the goods, it is enough to support the military for a month."

"Weichen will cooperate with the Ministry of Households to raise part from various places to make up for this gap as soon as possible, so as to ensure that this year's military supply will not be delayed!"

Old Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this.

"The scar healed up so quickly, forget the pain, forget who put out the fire for you?"

How could Qin Kui forget this?

After all, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and it is only natural to flatter the emperor.But flattering an ordinary emperor's grandson is somewhat unspeakable.

Although this emperor's grandson is not ordinary, but Jane is in the emperor's heart, he can be called the emperor's favorite, but he still wants to bury this gratitude in his heart, and is unwilling to say it out loud.

However, seeing His Majesty defending the three grandsons so much, Qin Kui had no choice but to bite the bullet and express it even if he was 10,000 unwilling.

"The fact that I can escape the sanction this time is mainly due to the wisdom and courage of the Three Emperors and Sun, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and I will never forget the great kindness of the Three Emperors and Suns!"

When Lao Zhu heard the words "never forget", a smile appeared on his face.

"Not bad!"

"You are a smart person, you should know how to do it in the future, right?"

"Wei Chen knows!"

"I have a suggestion. I planned to speak at the court tomorrow, but today I happened to be summoned by His Majesty, so I boldly offered my words to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, what do you think if I suggest that the Three Emperors and Suns supervise the military battle?"

Lao Zhu was even happier when he heard this, and thought to himself that Qin Kui was doing the right thing.

Although this guy didn't directly say that Zhu Yunqi was no good, as long as he dared to recommend our eldest grandson to supervise the military battle, it would be tantamount to drawing a clear line with other civil servants.

However, this is not enough in Lao Zhu's opinion!
"Not bad!"

"However, we have a small worry in our hearts. A few days ago, in a moment of anger, we made that rebellious grandson a king."

"What should we do if someone proposes to let our eldest grandson become a vassal?"

Qin Kui's heart was moved when he heard this, isn't this the last thing he wrote in his suicide note, it seems that this sentence must have saved his life!
"Your Majesty, this matter is simple!"

"As long as someone writes a letter to force His Majesty to let the King of Wu become a vassal, wouldn't it be enough for His Majesty to make the Second Emperor's grandson a king?"

Speaking of this, Qin Kui suddenly thought of one thing, that is, not long ago, His Majesty gave the Ministry of Rites a letter, asking them to agree on the title of the second emperor's grandson.

Your Majesty has already thought of a solution, why do you need to ask more questions?

Just when Qin Kui was puzzled, he suddenly heard Lao Zhu laugh out loud.

"it is good!"

"As expected of the fellow we fancy, you go back and write a letter to Zhu Yunqi asking for meritorious service, and read it at the court tomorrow morning!"

When Qin Kui heard this, he was stunned on the spot. The reason why His Majesty asked himself was because he was waiting here!
If I dare to submit such a memorial, let alone read it out, even if I hand it in quietly, I will be sprayed into a sieve by a group of civil servants, then I will completely break with them!
Once he breaks with the civil servants, he can only hug the emperor's thigh tightly in the future, and be a courtier who is spurned by all the civil servants!
Thinking of this, Qin Kui wished he could slap himself a few times.

If you are full, you can support yourself, and if you have nothing to do, what a cleverness, let's shoot yourself in the foot with a stone!

"Your Majesty... my minister..."

"What's the matter, don't you want to?"

"minister……"

Qin Kui gritted his teeth and said.

"The minister is willing!"

Hearing what this fellow said, Lao Zhu immediately relaxed and yawned greatly.

"Kneel down!"

"We won't waste time here with you!"

After saying this, Lao Zhu walked towards his bedroom while yawning, leaving only Qin Kui kneeling on the spot alone.

Who is spending time with whom!
If you hadn't called me into the palace in the middle of the night, I wouldn't have...

Qin Kui just thought of this, and immediately didn't dare to complain anymore.If His Majesty hadn't called him into the palace in the middle of the night, his body might have been completely cold at this time.

Qin Kui kowtowed to Lao Zhu's back, then struggled to get up from the ground.

Bai Yi escorted Qin Kui out of the palace all the time, and asked when he reached the gate of the palace.

"Master Qin's family is too deserted, did he dismiss his family and servants in advance?"

"Do you want to be humble and ask the brothers to help you find it?"

Normally, Jin Yiwei would not take the initiative to show favor to civil officials.But now Qin Kui can be regarded as Wu Wang's party, and he can also be regarded as half of his own, so Bai Yi decided to make friends.

Qin Kui thought about it for a while and it was true, not to mention far away, but to say that he would have problems with eating in the morning and going to court tomorrow.

You can't let him cook by himself, and then drive to court by himself, right?

"Then trouble Brother Bai, bring back our little concubine, Huaniang, I am used to eating meals made by her, and I am really not used to it without her..."

Bai Yi smiled apologetically upon hearing this.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, your request is really not easy to handle. Your concubine, Hua Niang, probably ran a hundred miles away by now. Even if Jin Yiwei's brother rode a fast horse to chase him, The soonest I can get it back the day after tomorrow.”

"Uh……"

"Then can you bring back my groom first? No matter what I say, I'm still the Minister of Zhengyin. Walking to the court is really an insult to the dignity of the court!"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Bai Yi's face when he heard this, but the Jin Yiwei beside him laughed heartily.

"Master Qin, your little concubine named Hua Niang ran away with your groom!"

"Otherwise, how could she, a weak woman, run a hundred miles away in such a short time?"

"Hahaha!"

"Uh uh uh……"

Qin Kui heard Jin Yiwei's unrestrained laughter and wished he could plunge into the moat and drown.

Such shameful things are known by this group of scum, and it may spread throughout the capital tomorrow.

Bai Yi regarded Qin Kui as half of his own, and when he heard the laughter of his subordinates, he immediately reprimanded him angrily.

"Master Qin is loyal to state affairs, so it is inevitable that he will be negligent in the affairs of the back house. You are not allowed to go out and gossip!"

"Hurry up and send people to chase tomorrow, and make sure to chase Mr. Qin's coachman and concubine back!"

Qin Kui bowed his hands gratefully to Bai Yi when he heard the words, and then he was filled with righteous indignation.

"Brother Bai Gao Yi, I thank you here."

"It's just that what are these adulterers and prostitutes doing when they are brought back, to add to this official's troubles, and make this official the laughing stock of all the officials in the capital!"

Seeing that Qin Kui was so angry, Bai Yi couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"If Mr. Qin is really angry, why not kill them secretly?"

"Well... this officer is not strong enough..."

"If Mr. Qin can trust Humble Job, Humble Job is willing to clean up Mr. Qin's house!"

Qin Kui hesitated a little, and weighed the pros and cons.

He really couldn't be more angry in his heart, wishing he could tear the adulterer and adulterer into pieces!
But if he rashly accepted Jin Yiwei's overture, then he would really become a lonely minister in the future, and could only run to the dark with the third grandson.

Qin Kui struggled a few times in his heart, but in the end he did not escape his manly nature, and cupped his hands towards Bai Yi.

"Then there will be Brother Robert!"

"Your Majesty Qin is too polite..."

"Brothers sent by the low-ranking officers to send Mr. Qin back to the mansion..."

When Qin Kui was leaving the palace, the princess' bedroom happened to welcome an unexpected guest.

Mrs. Lu had always been sleeping in her clothes, waiting for her distant niece.Hearing movement in the bedroom, he immediately got up from the bed and asked softly.

"Jade clothes?"

"Back to Auntie, it's Yushang..."

"I don't know if my aunt is recruiting late at night, but I'm in big trouble?"

Han Yushang's biological mother was Lu's cousin who was born in Wufu.Because she was married to Han Liner's nephew, when the White Lotus Sect was in full swing and the Red Scarf Army swept across the south and north of the Yangtze River, the head of the Lu family at that time made an exception to recognize their relatives in order to protect themselves, and continued their incense with them. .

Therefore, Han Yushang became Lu's niece as a matter of course, and recognized such an aunt who was a princess.

Over the years, the Han family and the Lu family have been helping each other, taking what they need.

The Han family used various white lotus secret methods to help Lu's step-by-step steps to the position of crown princess, and then removed some threats for her.

The Lu family provided them with some court information as best they could, such as informing them in advance that the palace would purchase some porcelain and the like.It can not only allow the White Lotus Sect to complete revenge, but also get rid of potential competitors for his son.

Buying rouge and gouache is the secret code agreed between them.

If the Lu family was in trouble, he would order someone to go to a specific shop to buy a specific rouge, and express his urgency by the quantity purchased.

Nine boxes is already the most urgent matter, that's why Han Yunyan took the risk to sneak into the Prince's Mansion, and spend time with his aunt Lu Shi in Kui Ye.

Of course, Mrs. Lu will also create opportunities for her to sneak in beforehand.

Otherwise, even if she is extremely light-hearted, she would not dare to take such risks easily.

After all, there are many guards in the palace, and if you are not careful, you may be shot and killed on the spot as an assassin.

"My aunt is in big trouble!"

"Your younger brother, Yunwen, was tricked by that slut, the side concubine of the Qin Dynasty, the Deng family. During the filial piety, he went to Goulan Washe, and even broke up with a whore, which made that old man Zhu Yuanzhang hate him."

"Plus that Zhu Yunxie's son of a lowly maid wants to overwhelm your younger brother Yunxuan everywhere, and your younger brother Yunxuan is almost cornered!"

Han Yushang rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"Auntie wants me to get rid of Zhu Yunxi?"

Lu's heart was moved when he heard the words, and he almost agreed on the spot.But when she thought about it again, she stifled the idea.

Even if Zhu Yunxi was to be killed, it was definitely not the time.

Because once he does it now, that old guy Zhu Yuanzhang will inevitably doubt himself.At that time, not only would they not be able to win the position of grandson for their sons, but the old man would be disgusted and drive them out of the palace directly.

"Don't touch him yet!"

"Now it's time to find a way to regain my son's favor. The old man must establish his status as the emperor's grandson!"

"Of course, if there is a suitable opportunity to blame Zhu Yunxi's death on others, you can adapt accordingly."

"It's best to count it on the head of Prince Qin's mansion to achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone!"

Han Yushang is not a person who likes to use his brain, and he felt embarrassed when he heard Lu Shi's words.

If Mrs. Lu asked her to assassinate Zhu Yunxi, although it was still difficult, she would agree without hesitation.But now Lu's family asked her to help Zhu Yunqi regain Zhu Yuanzhang's favor, which is a bit difficult.

Conspiracy is not her strong point at all!
"Auntie, do you have any specific plans?"

"no!"

"Then what does my aunt want me to do? Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher is unpredictable. I can't guess what he's thinking..."

Hearing Han Yushang's complaint, Mrs. Lu made up her mind and said.

"I remember that your White Lotus Sect has a secret method that can control the epidemic, right?"

"When I was sorting out the prince's relics, I saw that there was an epidemic in Fujian. I don't know what's going on now?"

Han Yushang was secretly startled when he heard this, and thought to himself that his aunt was really a big deal.Its viciousness is no less than that of the butcher Zhu Yuanzhang!

The population of the capital is over one million. Once the epidemic is triggered, there will be dead bodies everywhere...

"Auntie, this matter is very important. I can't make the decision alone. I have to go back and ask my cousin, and I can only make a decision after discussing with my cousin!"

Lu Shi felt a little dissatisfied when he heard this, and it still has a lot to do with it, so he can't decide.As far as the deeds of your White Lotus Sect are concerned, what kind of white lotus are you pretending to be in front of yourself?

Besides, isn't your White Lotus Sect spreading the disease while treating the people and harvesting believers?
"The more poisonous the disease, the better, and the more people die, the better!"

"But it must be controllable, at least you can keep me and my son safe in advance!"

"All right……"
