I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 173 Preemptive strike?

The Wenhua Hall is specially built for the prince to study and observe politics.

After Zhu Yunxu took charge of the country, he worked in Wenhua Palace as usual.

After that, the Counselor's Office and the Military Affairs Office were established. Neither of them had a government office. For the sake of convenience, they all worked in the Cultural Hall, one on the left and one on the right, while Taisun served as a director in the middle hall.

If there is anything important or urgent, please report it at any time.

With the separation of government affairs and military affairs, Zhu Yunxi's work is relatively free.

Although he was in the Wenhua Palace, he didn't deal with state affairs. Instead, he ordered several court ladies and eunuchs to read a novel to him from the sidelines.

In his previous life, Zhu Yunzhen had the habit of listening to books.

It was the Internet age, and there was special software for listening to books. You could open it and listen to books.

Daming did not have such advanced technology.

Fortunately, he is the emperor's grandson, and his position of power is extraordinary.

Now that Lao Zhu is out in Yangshan to recuperate, he is the biggest in the palace and can do whatever he wants.

Zhu Yunxuan selected a few people to read to him on the spot, imitating the method used in the listening software in his previous life.

The original sound makes it more interesting than listening to books online in the previous life.

Sure enough, as long as you have enough power and status, you can have ultimate enjoyment no matter where you are.

Zhu Yunxi is not an ascetic monk, and he doesn't like Zhu Xi's statement of "preserving the principles of nature and destroying human desires".

His life creed is "To be successful in life, you must have all the fun" and "If you have wine now, you will get drunk now."

Before, I was nervous every step of the way in the court, afraid of making mistakes and not daring to indulge in pleasure, but now I have finally gained a foothold.

The promising Daming, with many beautiful countries, is waiting for him to show his great ambitions, and he is even more proud of "singing during the day and drinking too much".

Alcohol is not really drunk.

In his previous life, he hated the wine table culture very much.

Now that I can make my own decisions, of course I don’t know how to drink.

On the other hand, the snacks in the palace are nuts, there are many delicious things, and they can't stop eating while listening to books.

"It's delicious, big brother, when will you go out of the palace to play!"

Next to Zhu Yunzhen, Xixi also chewed her mouth and asked while eating.

"I heard that there are many interesting, delicious and beautiful treasures at the pier outside Jinling City. I really want to meet them."

Although the little girl is only six or seven years old, she is a natural "socialist".

Since coming to Jinling with him, everyone's lips are sweet.

Even to the maids and eunuchs in the palace, they were brothers and sisters who kept shouting, which flattered all the court ladies and eunuchs.

After all, although she is a maid in name, she can call His Highness the Great Grandson "eldest brother", which shows that her status is extraordinary.

How can an ordinary court lady and eunuch dare to accept it?

It's just that the little girl is careless and doesn't take it seriously. In addition, she has a pretty face and is affectionate to everyone she meets.

The maid is still telling the story and has not stopped.

Zhu Yunxuan smiled and said, "Who did you listen to?"

"It's Sister Yan'er." Xixi excitedly took out a light red agate pendant and said, "Big brother, this is a gift from Sister Yan'er. She said she bought it from the pier outside the city. Isn't it beautiful?" ?”

The sister Yan'er mentioned by Xixi is the daughter of Princess Anqing. Zhu Yunzhen's cousin Ouyang Yan is one year older than him and is eight years old this year.

"Let me have a look." Zhu Yunzhen took it and put it in his hand.

This is a bile agate.

Water gall agate is the most precious variety of agate. It is characterized by a small closed space inside, which contains water.

This thing takes a long time to form.

Because there are holes in them, most of them have a certain size, and the common weight is about ten kilograms. They can only be used as ornaments, not as portable jewelry.

The agate, which is as big as the jade pendant in front of you and has hidden water droplets, is definitely an extremely rare treasure.

Not to mention that the color of this thing is bright and transparent, and the water waves inside form a circle of clouds and clouds. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is invaluable.

Girls are irresistible to beautiful things, especially little girls.

How could Ouyang Yan be willing to give it to Xixi when he got such a rare thing?
The image of this cousin flashed through Zhu Yunzhen's mind. Although he didn't have many interactions with her before, he still had some contacts with her.

The impression was that Ouyang Yan was a very stingy person. No matter what was in her hands, she would never spit it out again. She even had a fight with his predecessor because of this.

It is worth savoring such a precious agate as a gift to Xixi.

Ouyang Yan's father, Princess Anqing's horse was Ouyang Lun. He was originally a commoner and passed the first prize. Later, he was favored by Lao Zhu and recruited as his consort.

Previously, Jiang Yu, the commander of Jinyiwei, had told him about the situation of the relatives of the emperor in Beijing, the honored ministers and the dignitaries.

This prince-in-law was very good at doing business and commanded his slaves to do business and made a lot of profits.

He was thinking that someone from outside came to report, and Xu Miaojin, the director of the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau, asked to see him.

Xu Miaojin wore a light blue and white flowered Luo Shang, tied into two ponytails, and seemed to have applied a little vermilion lipstick. Her delicate goose-white face showed a slight blush, and her mouth was even more like a pill. The autumn watery eyes already had a bit of an alluring look.

"I also thought you were busy with state affairs. It turned out that you were enjoying yourself here and went to Songjiang Mansion, but you turned out to be bad and brought back a pretty little sister."

As soon as he came in, Xu Miaojin scolded him.

In the entire palace, she was the only one who dared to talk to the grandson like this.

The maids and eunuchs next to her were all silent, wishing they could plug their ears with something.

"What's wrong, you're still meddling in my business." Zhu Yunzhen didn't show any weakness, and immediately sneered: "Little girls, there is nothing like a lady. I don't know who will be so unlucky to marry in the future." Where are you as my wife?"

"You!" Xu Miaojin frowned angrily.

Beside, Xixi happily ran over and shouted, "Sister Xu!"

"Xi Xi is so good!" Xu Miaojin immediately changed her face.

The two had met before, interacted with each other, and even talked about speculation.

In her words just now, she seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Zhu Yunxun for bringing Xixi back, but in fact she was having a heated fight with Xixi.

I thought that Zhu Yunzhen would come to see me after returning to Beijing.

Unexpectedly, he seemed to have forgotten.

Even when she went to the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau, no one informed her.

When Xu Miaojin heard the news and rushed over, he had already left.

The only thing I remember is that she was given the position of general manager of the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau and was given the rank of fifth grade.

She felt aggrieved when she thought about how she had been thinking about him day and night, busy with his affairs, and worrying about him.

At this moment, I finally saw him, but for some reason, I wanted to be angry, so I said that.

But when Zhu Yunxuan retorted, Xu Miaojin regretted it again.

Why do you want to make him unhappy?
Just when Xixi was calling her, Xu Miaojin immediately took the opportunity to turn her face away.

Zhu Yunzhen actually didn't take it seriously.

If you have dealt with little girls a lot, you know her temperament.

It's just that he's a bit stubborn.

Probably because her father Xu Da died early, the little girl seemed to be born with a lack of security and could not bear any grievance.

Zhu Yunzhen couldn't tolerate her.

If she wanted to do things by her side, she had to change her temper.

After talking with Xixi for a while, Xu Miaojin said: "I came to see you today because I have something important to tell you."

She looked at the palace maids and eunuchs on the left and right with serious expressions.

Zhu Yunxuan waved his hand, telling the palace maids and eunuchs to retreat, and took Xixi away as well.

There were only the two of them left in the room.

"Your second brother met with Princess Anqing and the consort Ouyang Lun."

Xu Miaojin said: "They are aunt and nephew after all, and it's not easy for my people to stop them."

Zhu Yunxuan nodded.

Although all the maids and eunuchs around Zhu Yunwen were replaced by his own people, he was still His Royal Highness Prince Heng, and there was no decree to imprison him. Those people mainly played a surveillance role.

Zhu Yunwen was still active outside every day and participated in the compilation of "Hongwu Dadian".

If he had just met Princess Anqing and Prince Consort Ouyang Lun, Xu Miaojin would not have reported the matter so seriously.

The little girl's ability to do things is quite strong, and she can distinguish the serious from the serious.

"I always felt that this meeting was not simple, so I asked people to keep an eye on the Prince Consort's Mansion in private. After Ouyang Lun returned, he disguised himself as a servant and left the house quietly."

"He went to the residence of Zheng Guohou Changmao."

Zhu Yunxi's face changed slightly.

It is not surprising that Ouyang Lun has contacts with Chang Mao.

But doing it so secretly is intriguing.

"Not long after Ouyang Lun left, Chang Mao quietly left the house again. He changed his clothes sneakily, followed Qi Tai's carriage, waited for an opportunity to enter the carriage, stayed for a long time, and then left."

"I guess they must be plotting some conspiracy, most likely targeting you."

"Do you want to strike first?"

Xu Miaojin asked.

Zhu Yunxuan glanced at her and said, "They are all relatives of the emperor and respected ministers. How can we take them without evidence?"

Xu Miaojin smiled and said: "Isn't it easy to get evidence? Huang Zicheng is still locked in Jinyiwei's prison, so he said that he confessed and identified Qi Tai as his accomplice. You sign a document, and Jinyiwei can get it." people."

"Then let Qi Tai bite out Chang Mao, who then bites out Ouyang Lun, and Ouyang Lun bites out Zhu Yunwen. In this way, we can catch them all."

Zhu Yunxi praised: "Good idea!"

Xu Miaojin said: "Then you sign the order now, and I will send Jin Yiwei to arrest him immediately."

Zhu Yunxi didn't move, rolled her eyes, and said: "I just met in private, which king's law has been violated? How big is the crime? Are you going to arrest people like this?"

"If Qi Tai refuses to admit it, are you planning to launch a series of unjust prisons in the court?"

Xu Miaojin was taken aback for a moment.

"Grandpa Huang attaches great importance to family ties. When he returned to Beijing, he specially ordered Prince Heng and his officials to greet him. His intention is self-evident."

"If he set off a big prison just as soon as he left Beijing, it was still a matter of catching wind and shadow, and it was targeting his own flesh and blood brothers, what would Grandpa Huang think?"

Xu Miaojin stayed there in a daze. She was not unintelligent, but she was worried about Zhu Yunzhen's safety, and caring would lead to chaos.

In addition, he believed that Zhu Yunxuan was now in great power and could arrest people by signing an order, so why not use it?
But I never thought about it, what should I do if I can't find any real evidence after arresting someone?
At this moment, after listening to Zhu Yunxi's analysis, he realized that things were not that simple.

"Then what should we do?" Xu Miaojin said anxiously: "You must also know who are behind Ouyang Lun, Chang Mao and Qi Tai."

"If they join forces to attack, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Ouyang Lun represents the royal family, Chang Mao represents the military generals, and behind Qi Tai is the civil service group.

The combination of the three forces cannot be underestimated.

"You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to guard against a thief for a thousand days."

Xu Miaojin said: "If we can't strike first and find out what they are planning, I'm afraid the situation will be very unfavorable."

"By the time they suddenly rise up, it may be too late."
