King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 208 Don't make trouble with this matter

Two days later, this matter reached Zhu Jingyuan's ears.

Knowing this, he also made a special trip to find Shanglinyuan, and interceded for the Jia family in the form of an interview.

No way, no matter whether Zhu Jingyuan recognizes it or not, the Jia family is tied to him, and the disaster of the Jia family will also damage his reputation.

Originally, Zhu Jinghong didn't want to be used by the sixth child, but the prince came here just to let him go down the slope, so he said very generously that he would listen to his brother and not mess around.

After receiving Zhu Jinghong's forgiveness, Zhu Jingyuan felt that this was a good brother, and was so moved that he almost wiped his tears, but it scared Zhu Jinghong.

After returning from Shanglin Garden, Zhu Jingyuan ordered the Bachelor of Donggong to find Qin Ye, and explained the misunderstanding for the Jia family.

At the same time, he also sent someone to greet Shuntian Mansion, and ordered the government to put pressure on the Yongsheng County Government to find out those ruffians.

It has to be said that the Donggong bachelor's response was quite appropriate after brainstorming, and of course Yuanchun's reminder was indispensable.

In the next two days, Zhu Jinghong devoted himself to training in Shanglinyuan and didn't pay much attention to this matter.

After the overall evaluation, Zhu Jinghong thought that the team could already see it, so he found Qianqing Palace in the afternoon.

Walking outside the main hall, Zhu Jinghong asked the little eunuch on duty at the door: "Is there no audience today?"

The little eunuch immediately replied: "Report to the Thirteenth Lord, no one will see you in the afternoon, and the Lord is resting in the Hongde Palace!"

"So that's how it is... sue for me!"

"Yes!"

Qianqing Palace is a group of palaces, and Hongde Hall is located to the west of the main hall of Qianqing Palace, where the emperor usually relaxes.

At this moment, Zhu Xianming is holding a magnifying glass, standing behind the desk and looking at Huizong's original handwriting, especially the monogram on it, which makes him observe carefully.

Straightening up slightly, Zhu Xianming said in a low voice: "The thing should be real... Lao Jiu must have spent a lot of effort to get this thing!"

Immediately afterwards, he turned around and waved to Cheng Ying who was beside him, and the latter comprehended and immediately handed over tea.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Lord please see me!"

"What is he here for?" Zhu Xianming muttered, and then let the eunuch tell Zhu Jinghong to come in.

Being able to see the emperor at any time, I have to say that this is a rare privilege, and it is really rare for the Ming Dynasty to have this kind of treatment.

"father……"

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhu Jinghong yelled, startling Zhu Xianming who was drinking tea, and almost spilled the tea on the original Huizong manuscript.

"Bastard...what are you shouting!" Zhu Xianming reprimanded with a cold face.

This is not kind, is there something wrong?The old man's mind is really hard to grasp... Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.

I saw him smiling apologetically, and bowing his waist after entering the hall, he said: "Father... who made you angry?"

Putting down the teacup, he looked carefully at the paintings on the book table, and after making sure that the tea was not left behind, Zhu Xianming felt relieved.

Although Huizong was not very good as an emperor, he was very good at calligraphy and painting of flowers and birds, and Zhu Xianming also liked it very much.

Looking up at Zhu Jinghong, the emperor said in a cold tone, "Old Thirteen, you are here for a beating, right?"

Being disturbed to a good mood, Zhu Xianming naturally disliked Zhu Jinghong.

"Father... the son is here to report something important!"

"Say what you have to say, and get out when you finish!"

Such an attitude made Zhu Jinghong very sad.

"Father... the army that my son has trained has basically taken shape, so why don't you spare some time to take a look these two days?"

"Really? It's only been about twenty days, are you sure you've done it?" Zhu Xianming was very skeptical.

Under strict standards, Zhu Jinghong is very sure of the training results after repeated training of the troops.

"Father, don't worry, it will definitely be bright..."

"What's the light?"

Swallowing the words "dog's eye" back, Zhu Jinghong searched his guts and replied, "Eh... it will make your eyes shine!"

"If it's not as mysterious as what you said..."

Zhu Jinghong immediately answered: "You just break my leg!"

"As long as you know!" Zhu Xianming said coldly.

So Zhu Jinghong asked: "Then... when are you going, father?"

After thinking for a while, Zhu Xianming replied, "Just tomorrow morning!"

Hearing this, Cheng Ying on the side reminded: "Your Majesty, envoys from the seven countries who have just arrived in Beijing will come to see them tomorrow morning, and the Ministry of War will report the situation of the rotation of capital divisions in various places in October, and the Ministry of Household Affairs..."

Cheng Ying talked endlessly, but Zhu Xianming said: "It's all changed to the afternoon!"

According to Zhu Xianming's habit, the schedule is basically scheduled in the morning, and the afternoon can be arranged freely.

The emperor said that the arrangement will be in the afternoon, so there is no doubt about it, so Cheng Ying replied: "Yes!"

The old man was so decisive that Zhu Jinghong was speechless for a while.

In fact, this also showed that the emperor was indifferent to this matter on the surface, and even had a bad face towards Zhu Jinghong, but in fact he attached great importance to it.

"Father, that son has resigned!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xianming said slowly: "I'm not busy... I have something to ask!"

"My son will know everything!"

"Two days ago, you took Sheng'er to Xiyuan, saying that you followed my order?"

"This... Dad, listen to my explanation..."

It's a pity that Zhu Xianming didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he said immediately: "It's not too much to hit you with twenty court sticks, right?"

To be honest, it is possible to punish the Nine Clans for such a serious crime as falsely spreading the imperial decree.

Twenty court sticks is indeed very light or even equal to no punishment.

The eldest son of the emperor and the second son of the emperor also made mistakes. One was kicked to death by the emperor and the other was scared to death. That was the true face of Zhu Xianming's anger.

"Father...tomorrow we will perform martial arts, and the twenty court sticks have disabled our son. Wouldn't it be a hindrance to tomorrow's affairs?"

After hearing Zhu Jinghong's words, Zhu Xianming also felt that there was some truth, so he replied: "Then owe ten boards first, and then call after tomorrow's business!"

"Father, there are too many boards, son..."

Seeing Zhu Jinghong kicking his nose on his face, Zhu Xianming suddenly turned cold: "I think it's better to play fifty boards. If you don't have it tomorrow, you won't be able to play martial arts?"

Seeing that the old man was about to lose his temper, Zhu Jinghong quickly confessed: "Don't, don't, don't... my son will go get the ten board immediately, and go right away!"

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was about to go out, Zhu Xianming scolded again: "Come back!"

Just about to cross the threshold, Zhu Jinghong had no choice but to turn around and return.

"Father...do you have anything else to do?"

Zhu Jinghong picked up the teacup and said slowly, "Stop making trouble about the Jia family's affairs!"

Apparently, Zhu Xianming had a good eye for the fire, and it was hard for him to ignore any affairs, big or small, inside and outside the court.

In Zhu Jinghong's impression, the old man had always had a bad mood towards the Jia family, so why did he speak for them today.

The reason for this is very simple, just because the Jia family is behind the Supreme Emperor, and the Holy Birthday Festival is less than half a month away, and the Jia family has an accident, and the Supreme Emperor also loses face.

How could he, Zhu Xianming, and the Supreme Emperor's father be kind and filial, allow such a thing to happen.

In fact, Zhu Jingyuan also considered this point, so he was timid when doing things, otherwise public opinion would have been raised to deal with the prince.

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong didn't respond, the emperor immediately scolded, "Did you hear that?"

"heard it!"

"Don't forget the court stick, get out!"

"Yes!"

After exiting the main hall, Zhu Xianming was still concentrating on his thoughts, and had a rough guess about the old man's thoughts.

"Master Thirteen, the lord sent the slaves to imprison, you see..."

Zhu Jinghong turned around, but it was the young eunuch serving in the hall.

"It seems that the old man can't trust me, and sent you to prison!"

Hearing the "rebellious" words, the little eunuch could only laugh dryly, pretending that nothing happened.

"Let's go, Tingzhang!"

"Master Thirteen, please!" The little eunuch was very polite.

Regarding things like court rods, Zhu Jinghong's predecessors had a lot of skills, and now he is very familiar with them.

It stands to reason that the imperial staff is outside the Qianqing Gate, but Zhu Jinghong can choose the place by himself, so he led the little eunuch to Dongchang.
