Section 320 Offenses(1/2)
Zhu Zhongjun slept beautifully all night in the Gu family.
The conversation with Gu Jinzhi was very pleasant, which made him feel very happy.
Zhu Zhongjun no longer cared about the emperor's dirty behavior.
As long as Gu Jinzhi can be in the same mind as him, Zhu Zhongjun will not be afraid of anything.
Judging from the emperor's behavior yesterday, there will be some twists and turns in marriage.
Zhu Zhongjun got up early and told Gu Jinzhi: "I will go to the palace and tell the Queen Mother about what happened yesterday."
He would use words that would benefit him and Gu Jinzhi, so Gu Jinzhi was not worried.
She nodded.
Zhu Zhongjun went to the outer courtyard and changed his clothes.
The coolness after yesterday's heavy rain is still going on today.
The wind blew on the face, like a veil, gently lingering, very comfortable.
Zhu Zhongjun changed into a soapy green cocoon silk and entered the inner courtyard. He went to the main courtyard with Gu Jinzhi for breakfast and prepared to enter the palace.
Before they left the house, someone came to the palace and asked Zhu Zhongjun to go to the Taihe Palace.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the place for morning dynasties.
At this time, the morning court has not yet ended.
Now I invite Zhu Zhongjun to go, it is definitely not for private matters.
Zhu Zhongjun thought about it in his heart.
Although he pretended to be crazy and stupid in Luzhou this year, he did a lot of things. Now that he is ready, can the court officials settle the score?
"...You didn't do anything big, right?" Gu Jinzhi frowned slightly, "Zhu Zhongjun, we will get married in more than a month. Don't be smart, but you will be mistaken by your intelligence and delay your marriage."
Although the words were unpleasant, the purpose was to marry him.
Zhu Zhongjun felt like he had eaten honey and said, "Don't worry. I can't delay it."
He followed the people in the palace to the Palace of Supreme Harmony.
The morning dynasty at the Hall of Supreme Harmony did not end.
The emperor's face was very bad, pale and irritable, and his eyebrows were tightly twisted together.
When the courtier saw him coming in, his eyes fell on him.
Zhu Zhongjun walked to the hall calmly and gracefully, kneeling down to salute the emperor.
When his knees hit the cold ground, his heart became a little stubborn: The King of Luyang was also born in the imperial family, but was only a few years later. Why should he be willing to be a minister?
These thoughts were lingering, and he shouted long live, but he was particularly sincere.
"The King of Luyang is calm." The emperor's voice was hoarse.
He didn't sleep all night and had another fight just now, and the emperor was exhausted.
What did Zhu Zhongjun stand up?
"I summoned the King of Luyang to the palace, and the Imperial Palace and the Chief Auxiliary had a few words to ask. The King of Luyang should answer truthfully, as if I personally asked him." The emperor said.
Zhu Zhongjun said that is.
The chief minister wants to interrogate him personally, so, is it that the matter in Henan exposed?
Why just look for him?
King Jian’s fief is in Henan, so King Jian cannot escape it. It should not be Henan’s business if King Jian did not come.
Then it's Luzhou's business...
Zhu Zhongjun tried his best to keep his smile like a cute and silly child.
The Chief Auxiliary Xia bowed to Zhu Zhongjun first. Then he asked: "Prince, the old minister asked you, is there a girl named Wu Qianlan in your palace in Luzhou?"
It turns out she...
This made Zhu Zhongjun confused.
He had a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect to talk about Qianlan.
Qianlan is well-known in his mansion, and Zhu Zhongjun has no need to lie. Then he said, "Yes."
The censor Wang Xian showed a proud expression.
Many court officials breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor's brows frowned even more.
His irritability could not be concealed.
"Then, please tell me carefully about the identity and origin of Miss Wu Qianlan." Xia's Shougong's expression remained unchanged and he asked respectfully.
Zhu Zhongjun Yu Guang swept everyone's reactions, then secretly glanced at the emperor, knowing that Qianlan was not good.
But he didn't know what was wrong.
If you don’t know the problem, you don’t know how to avoid saying things you shouldn’t say.
Zhu Zhongjun pondered for a while and asked Shoufu Xia: "What's wrong with Qianlan?"
"Please answer the old minister's questions first." Xia Zhengfu was still respectful, "Your Majesty and all the ministers are waiting..."
Zhu Zhongjun had no choice but to say: "Wu Qianlan is the daughter of Wu Bai, the commander of Shoucheng Guard. She entered the palace when I was twelve years old. At that time, I was stupid and didn't know why I let her in. Then, she lived
In the palace, because I don’t understand the world, there are servants in the palace to take care of it. I don’t know much about the specific ones..."
What he meant was that he and Qianlan were not that close.
When he was stupid, others sent Qianlan to his mansion.
Zhu Zhongjun thought that if he said this, there should be no obvious handle.
But Xia Shoufu said, "Qianlan is the daughter of Wu Bai. Wu Bai is the commander of Shoucheng and a chief official of the imperial court. His daughter is not a cheap person or a slave person, right?"
It is not a lowly or a slave, and it cannot be bought or sold.
Zhu Zhongjun has never sold Qianlan.
So he replied: "Yes, Qianlan is a good woman."
At that time, Wu Bai gave Qianlan to Zhu Zhongjun, saying that he was to be a concubine for Zhu Zhongjun as his predecessors. However, as the prince's concubine, he should be managed by the princess or partial concubines and reported to the court.
Generally, a normal prince, even if he does not have a proper concubine, would have a partial concubine.
Like Zhu Zhongjun, there are no official concubines or partial concubines, but they have concubines first, which is unreasonable.
Do you want to seize this and punish him?
He does not have to bear any responsibility for the matters in the inner house.
The concubine hasn't passed the door yet.
Zhu Zhongjun became more and more confused about what he wanted to do.
When Zhu Zhongjun finished speaking, there was a little noise below.
He knew that he had answered wrongly.
But he didn't understand what was wrong.
Zhu Zhongjun has been smart all his life and can always adapt to emergencies.
He calmly and looked at everyone innocently.
The emperor's hand slapped the table heavily and shouted angrily: "This matter is over here. Why can Wu Qianlan be a good woman? Zhongjun was stupid at the time, and he knew what. He always grabbed this matter.
Let it go, are you so idle?"
The emperor is defending Zhu Zhongjun.
Zhu Zhongjun thought it was the emperor who gave him a stir.
If Wu Qianlan was not a good woman in the family, Zhu Zhongjun would understand this.
But Wu Qianlan is a good woman. What's wrong with her entering the royal palace as a concubine?
Zhu Zhongjun pursues political struggles and rarely cares about inner huts.
He never paid attention to Qianlan...
He just checked a little and knew that Qianlan was Ning Xi's lover, and that she was Wu Bai's only daughter, beautiful but stupid, and there was nothing suspicious about it.
"Your Majesty!" The Censor Wang Xian stood up and interrupted the emperor's anger loudly. "The King of Luyang personally admitted that Wu Qianlan was indeed a good woman. She had been in the palace for five years. What I reported was in line with the law. If so,
As an excuse to be stupid, what is the prestige of not following the laws and regulations? When Taizu formulated the laws and governed the country with great sanctions, the emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Did the King of Luyang want to be kind to the law?"
The emperor was choked.
The king of his country can no longer scold his ancestors for being bullied by the court early.
Otherwise, the court will be incorrect.
To be continued...
