Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 655 The Unexpected Incident
Zhu Youjian's face was livid, he stared at Wang Cheng'en and said: "Okay! Okay! This is the slave who keeps telling me that he is loyal and has no second thoughts all day long. He actually hides such a big matter from me, and the emperor who has been doing it all day Before, the emperor, the queen, Duke Xingguo who is determined to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, and that bitch... and Empress Yi'an, you all join forces to deceive me!"

Zhu Youjian originally wanted to scold a bitch, but he suddenly remembered that when the emperor's brother Zhu Youxiao called him into the palace and said that he would pass on the throne to him, he suspected that the emperor's brother refused to resign because of Zhang Yan's temptation. She came out and told him that Brother Huang really wanted to pass on the throne to him, and then he lost all doubts and agreed to succeed him.Later, after he entered the palace, Zhang Yan took the opportunity to secretly remind him not to eat the food in the palace, lest someone poison him.

Thinking of what happened back then, Zhu Youjian finally stopped scolding this bitch.

It's just that although Zhu Youjian changed his words, how could Wang Chengen not know what he wanted to scold?

Seeing that Zhu Youjian was very angry, Wang Chengen said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! This old slave really has no second thoughts! The reason why this old slave is hiding information from the emperor is really for the sake of the emperor!"

Seeing Wang Chengen kowtow like pounding garlic, his forehead was already dripping with blood, thinking about what Wang Chengen had done for himself these years, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but soften his heart: "Get up, and tell me what happened in detail."

Hearing the words, Wang Chengen kowtowed again as if he had received an amnesty, and then got up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is a long story, and it was when Duke Xing Guo first entered the palace."

"No matter how long it takes, tell me from the beginning." Zhu Youjian said.

"Yes!" Wang Chengen wiped the blood on his forehead, and then continued: "The winter before last, Duke Xingguo came to the palace to discuss state affairs with the emperor, and the emperor left him for dinner in the palace at night, and Duke Xingguo lived in Dongnuan Pavilion that night. I don’t know if the emperor still remembers that night you hinted that this old slave should find some court ladies to serve Xing Guogong?”

"It seems to be the case." Zhu Youjian said.

"That night, the old slave was asking for a maid from the Palace of Compassion, but I didn't expect that Empress Yi'an would come to Dongnuan Pavilion pretending to be a maid." Wang Chengen continued.

"What?" Zhu Youjian was shocked when he heard the words: "You said that Empress Yi'an pretended to be a court lady and came to Dongnuan Pavilion that night? Empress Yi'an and Li Jing have never met before, and I don't know who Li Jing is, why did you want to?" Pretending to be a court lady?"

Wang Cheng'en said: "Even though Empress Yi'an has never met Li Jing, it doesn't mean she doesn't know about Li Jing. What was going on in the palace at that time, it is impossible for Empress Yi'an not to hear the wind."

"So, Queen Yi'an pretended to be a maid to serve Li Jing after she heard you said that she wanted a maid to serve Li Jing, in order to win Li Jing's favor?" Zhu Youjian asked doubtfully.

"Your Majesty, you know better than this old slave what kind of person Queen Yi'an is. Do you think Queen Yi'an is like that?" Wang Chengen said with a wry smile.

Zhu Youjian pondered and said: "Empress Yi'an is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She understands righteousness and is extremely scheming. Empress Yi'an deserves the greatest credit for being able to ascend to the throne. How can such a person be so lightly recommended? And even if Yi'an The empress has this idea, but Li Jing is not that kind of person, if Li Jing is a lustful person, he can't sit in that position."

"Your Majesty, Empress Yi'an pretended to be a court lady and went to Dongnuan Pavilion to assassinate Li Jing." Wang Chengen continued.

"What? The emperor's sister-in-law wants to assassinate Li Jing?" Zhu Youjian was shocked when he heard this.

Wang Chengen sighed, and explained the events of the year in detail.

After Wang Chengen finished speaking, Zhu Youjian was silent for a while.

After a while, Zhu Youjian murmured, "Sister-in-law Huang, it's really embarrassing for sister-in-law Huang."

Wang Cheng'en said: "Your Majesty, it's not that this old servant wants to hide it from the Emperor, it's because this matter is too important. I'm afraid that after the Emperor finds out about it..."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand: "Needless to say, I understand that you are all out to save my face, and you are even more worried that I will lose control of myself when I find out."

"Your Majesty, for the sake of Ming Dynasty, you should pretend you don't know about it." Wang Chengen said hastily.

Zhu Youjian snorted: "I can pretend that I don't know about this, but I have to know about it. Tell me, what did the emperor's wife ask you to go to Xing Guogong this time? I am not a three-year-old child. I will not go to Xing Guogong because the garment factory has no money to start work."

"This..." Wang Chengen looked around, and then said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Empress Yi'an is happy."

"What? Are you happy?" Zhu Youjian was shocked again.

Wang Cheng'en said: "Yes! Empress Yi'an didn't know what to do, so she asked the old slave to tell Duke Xingguo about it, so that Duke Xingguo could make up his mind."

"What did Duke Xingguo say?" Zhu Youjian asked in a deep voice.

Wang Chengen hurriedly told Zhu Youjian about Li Jing's arrangement in detail.

Zhu Youjian nodded silently when he heard this: "It's rare, I never thought that Duke Xingguo would put so much emphasis on friendship, and put so much effort into thinking about the emperor's wife."

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Wang Chengen asked.

Zhu Youjian said with a wry smile: "What can I think? Duke Xingguo has made arrangements, and he has taken care of my face. How can I disagree?"

Sighing softly, Zhu Youjian continued: "Sister-in-law Huang has been lonely and helpless for so many years, and she can have some comfort after having a child, but I am sorry for Brother Huang, especially after a hundred years of sister-in-law Huang, I really don't know how to place her she."

"The emperor should pretend he doesn't know about this, so there is no need to embarrass him." Wang Chengen said hastily.

Zhu Youjian shook his head, sighed softly and said: "That's the only way to go, but I don't know how I will face the emperor after my death, and how the emperor will treat me."

"If the first emperor had a spirit in the sky, and knew that the emperor was thinking about the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely not blame the emperor." Wang Chengen said hastily.

"I hope so." Zhu Youjian sighed, "It's just that I'm deceiving myself."

After pondering for a while, Zhu Youjian continued: "Cheng En, you said that the emperor's sister-in-law asked me to go to Shanxi. If I disagree, what will happen to the Xingguo Guild?"

"Your majesty, don't you have other ideas?" Wang Chengen asked anxiously.

Zhu Youjian shook his head: "I would like to see how Duke Xingguo makes this argument."

Wang Chengen heard the words and said anxiously: "The emperor must not be arrogant."

Zhu Youjian waved his hands and smiled, "I know it well."

Looking at Wang Chengen, Zhu Youjian continued: "But you have to keep this matter from them. If you leak what we said today, then don't stay by my side in the future."

"Don't dare, this old slave will never tell Duke Xingguo and Queen Yi'an." Wang Chengen said hastily.

Zhu Youjian nodded with a smile.

A few days later, Zhu Youjian received the news that Zhu Huiyu was going back to Kaifeng to visit relatives. Zhang Yan and Zhu Youjian then proposed to visit the Shanxi Garment Factory. No matter how you ask for consent, you always disagree.

Two days later, Li Jing entered the palace.

After a few gossips, Li Jing mentioned that Zhang Yan accompanied Zhu Huiyu to Shanxi for inspection.

Needless to say, Zhu Youjian just disagreed with Ren Lijing's explanation.

What made Zhu Youjian sigh was that no matter what, Li Jing was not angry, but just took the trouble to explain to Zhu Youjian.

Seeing Li Jing's dry mouth and tongue still persuading him, Zhu Youjian was amused while secretly feeling emotional.

Li Jing now has power in the court and the public, and in Ming Dynasty, he can completely ignore him as an emperor, but Li Jing still respects him and treats him as an emperor, instead of treating the emperor like those powerful officials in history. ignore.

After sighing for a while, seeing that Li Jing, who was tossing around, was about the same, Zhu Youjian sighed softly and said, "Brother Li, I really admire you, whether you are a courtier or a man, you are competent."

Li Jing couldn't help but startled when Zhu Youjian made up such a sentence without thinking.

Zhu Youjian saw it and said with a smile: "Brother Li, I'm not confused, I already know some things."

Li Jing heard the words and his heart sank, looked at Zhu Youjian and suddenly said in a cold voice: "What does the emperor know?"

Zhu Youjian sighed lightly and said, "I know what I should know, and I know what I shouldn't."

"You know what you shouldn't know?" Li Jingwen also sighed and said: "Since the emperor already knows, what is the emperor's plan?"

Zhu Youjian shook his head: "I don't have any plans. What happened before is what will happen in the future. I will continue to be my emperor, and you will continue to be Daming's family."

"Since that's the case, why did the emperor block it?" Li Jing pondered.

Zhu Youjian said with a smile: "Hehe, I want to see how brother Li treats me, and this incident just shows what Li Jing's attitude towards me is."

"Does the emperor understand?" Li Jing then asked.

"I see. It's because I understand that that's why I said Brother Li is not only a good courtier, but also a good man." Zhu Youjian said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Jing pondered for a while, then nodded silently.

Smiling, Zhu Youjian continued: "Okay, brother Li, let's stop playing charades, let's talk frankly. Regarding the matter of the emperor's wife leaving Beijing, you can see that the arrangements have been made, and I will not stop them. Actually, I originally I didn't intend to stop you, I just wanted to test you, and you didn't disappoint me."

Li Jingjing nodded: "It seems that the emperor knows everything, did Wang Chengen tell you?"

Zhu Youjian smiled and shook his head: "Brother Li, as I said just now, I am not confused. I guessed this matter, and it has nothing to do with Wang Chengen."

Li Jing sighed and said: "There are always some people in this world who think they are smart and think that what they do is perfect, but in fact, as long as they pay attention, they will definitely find problems from some details."

Zhu Youjian nodded with a smile: "Brother Li, how do you plan to arrange for the emperor's wife's children in the future?"

Li Jing sighed: "It's a good thing for Empress Yi'an to adopt a child, how can she interfere with the matter of Empress Yi'an's adoption of a child? This matter is related to Daming's reputation, the emperor must not think about it."

Zhu Youjian nodded: "I understand, thank you Brother Li."

Li Jing sighed slightly: "It's my fault, the emperor's thank you really made Li Jing feel ashamed."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand: "I know that Brother Li is not to blame for this incident. It can only be regarded as a coincidence. There is nothing we can do about it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Jinggong cupped his hands and said.

"Thank you, brother Li." Zhu Youjian returned the courtesy.
