The next morning, I got up to wash, ate breakfast in a hurry, changed into a brand new public uniform, put a map at hand, and sat in the lobby of the Huitong Hall.

There is a morning court today, so he doesn't have to attend. Chongzhen must summon him alone if he wants to meet him.

Sure enough, within a while, three eunuchs who passed the imperial edict arrived.

"According to the order, I will come to Zhou Shixian to meet you."

Huitongguan was very close to the palace, so he was guided by the eunuch who sent the order and walked into the car. After a while, he arrived at the palace and was about to go to the side hall to see him. Unexpectedly, the court meeting had already dispersed. After coming out of Fanghua Hall, the ministers happened to meet him.

Zhou Shixian muttered in his heart that today's court meeting was short enough. Seeing that the ministers were full of spring breeze when they saw him, they held their fists as a polite manner, so they had to cheer up, smile and bow to the court.

This is outside the main hall, and we cannot talk to each other, so we all silently congratulate and thank you. After a little busy, we passed.

Then he saw Wang Chengen coming out and laughed in a low voice: "Just to see you, I have suppressed all the little court today. I have something to say and I have no choice but to leave the court. Hey."

Zhou Shixian didn't know what to say, so he opened the map in his hand and showed it to Wang Chengen, and then rolled it in his hand and held it again.

This is also a rule, just to prevent a minister with a bad intention from finding a picture.

He followed Wang Chengen to the outside of Fanghua Hall and listened to Wang Chengen's report: "Zhou Shixian met with him."

"Come in!" Chongzhen immediately spoke.

Zhou Shixian stepped in quickly and bowed. After the emperor shouted to flatten, he stood up and stood up with his regular hands.

"Shixian, this time I played well," Chongzhen said with a smile, with satisfaction in his voice, "It's clean and neat, and it's better to win more with less."

"I don't dare to take it for your praise."

"I can afford it, so I specially sent Liu Zongzhou to pick you up outside the city." Chongzhen smiled, "Has he said something I asked him to say to you?"

"Thank you, your Majesty, you said it." Zhou Shixian replied, "Liu Zongzhou said a lot to his ministers."

"Oh?" Chongzhen asked with interest, "What else did he say?"

"He also asked the minister when he would go back to capture Huang Degong Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo, and let His Majesty chop their heads."

"Hahahaha!" Chongzhen laughed loudly, shaking the roof of the tiles, "This old Liu Zongzhou is really weird and interesting."

Liu Zongzhou's stubborn personality and a weird temper are what everyone knows. However, when Wang Chengen, who was standing by, heard the words reposted by the prince-consort, his face changed color. It was not until Chongzhen burst into laughter that he realized that the prince-consort deliberately regarded this matter as a joke and said it to Long Live.

Wang Chengen thought to himself, it seemed that he hadn't seen Master Long lively smile so happily after speaking.

Chongzhen smiled for a long time before he stopped the laughter. Both the king and his ministers were smiling.

"If you break Liu Zeqing this time, the generals of other towns will naturally restrain themselves." Chongzhen said happily, "I have expressed my congratulations for several days. It may not be so respectful in the past."

After saying that, he saw the map in Zhou Shixian's hand.

"What's that in your hand?"

"If you want to go back to your Majesty, it is a map of Huai'an area," Zhou Shixian said with a smile, "in case your Majesty has some inquiries."

"Okay! You think carefully!" Chongzhen's eyes lit up, "But it's not enough now. Looking back, I'm giving a banquet in Jicui Hall in the back garden, and the queen is here, so you might as well tell her personally."

"Yes." Zhou Shixian honestly agreed.

"The queen asked me how many times you fought this battle. I told her, but she didn't understand. I blamed me for being bad." Chongzhen said with a smile, "You are good at eloquence, and you just took the map again, as if it was clearly stated."

Zhou Shixian thought to himself, since the queen is also, I wonder if Princess Kunxing will be there too. Thinking of Liying, who is a big-eyed girl, I suddenly felt extremely expectant in my heart.

However, Chongzhen turned his words back to the main business.

"Liu Zeqing was captured. Some ministers made suggestions to ask me to comfort the other three towns so that they would not be suspicious." Chongzhen snorted, "It was Gao Hongtu who refuted and said that Luma was in trouble and Liu Zeqing could not escape. Since it was involved in the rebellion case, the court was right to ask the court. No one else had done such a thing. What was there to be suspicious? Just coaxing them all the time, it was like the court was afraid of them."

Zhou Shixian agreed with Chongzhen's words from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, he had a different impression of Gao Hongtu, the Minister of Personnel.

"When it comes to the rebellious case, I have read Liu Zeqing's confession, so I won't talk about him anymore." Chongzhen sighed, "What's the matter with the Wanxiu Garden? Is there any real trace? Is it only Fufan, or Chongfan, Lufan and Zhoufan involved?"

After several questions, Chongzhen showed that he attached great importance to this matter and was quite anxious inside.

"Fufan once met the military minister in person, and this matter was undoubtedly true." Zhou Shixian said with a careful word, "According to Bo Tianfu's truth, although Fufan's words did not have any rebellious words, the intention of motivation was very clear. However, the whereabouts of Your Majesty at that time were not clear, so he could not say that he would do whatever he wanted."

Chongzhen thought while listening carefully.

"After Lu Jiude's death, his personal captain went to Wanxiuyuan to meet Fufan. Fufan burst into tears. There is something happening."

"Hateful!" Chongzhen said with a frown, "Where are the other ones?"

"When you are in Wanxiu Garden, you will inevitably be suspicious of being under the melon field and plum blossoms." Zhou Shixian said, "When you gather and drink, you also have words that you can't bear to hear."

“What are you talking about?”

"The Guangzong lineage is so extinct."

With a bang, Chongzhen slapped the imperial desk with his palm, gasping heavily.

In theory, everyone thought that Chongzhen was killed and the princes fell into the hands of the thief, so this sentence cannot be said to be wrong, but now it just touches the hidden pain in Chongzhen's heart, so he is naturally furious.

However, once the case of rebellion is handled, people must be killed. Chongzhen was inevitably shaken when he thought of issuing an order to execute his relatives and relatives.

"How about the Ministry of Interchange?" He hesitated and asked Zhou Shixian.

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate to hand over to the Ministry."

"Why is it inappropriate?"

"If the matter involves relatives and vassals, the crime is a violation of the system, and the large one is a rebellion. How could the ministers dare to make such a case arbitrarily?" Zhou Shixian said, "It only brings advice to add topics to the outside world."

It is very clear that if the Ministry of Communications did not know what Chongzhen meant, no one would dare to make a decision. If the family scandal was revealed for nothing, it would affect the authority of the royal family.

"What should I do according to you?"

The prince-consort stopped talking, Chongzhen urged him again and forced him to say something.

"Only Your Majesty is arbitrary."

"You are my family, but it's okay."

This is what Zhou Shi said. Looking at the main hall, the eunuchs had already been driven out, and even Wang Chengen had retreated far away to the corner of the wall, so he thought about the words and spoke.

"If you deal with it with a counter-case, the world will be shaken and spread widely, and it may not be a blessing for the country."

"Don't you do it?" Chongzhen couldn't swallow his breath anyway.

"It is better to do it lightly, just give it a punishment of 'not cultivating virtue and mistakenly interfering with bandits'." Zhou Shixian said softly, "But according to the ancestral system, it is not a solution for the vassal kings to stay in Zhili, but they can be placed in Zhongdu to let them study hard."

The placement of Yuzhongdu is a euphemistic term. It only means one thing, which is that you have no family property, and you are banned in Fengyang. You can keep it and reflect on it carefully. From then on, you can see the four heavens in the high walls.

Doing so will not use torture and killing, but it will be enough to make Chongzhen angry.

As for who was the bandit who was mistakenly acquainted, Lu Jiude was dead and Liu Zeqing had already stopped, then Du Guangshao and Yu Leshan, who provided the garden to curry favor with the vassal kings, could not be blamed.

After hearing Zhou Shixian's words, Chongzhen slowly relaxed his hands, which had been clenched.

"Wang Cheng'en."

"I'm here."

"The commander of the Jinyiwei, Feng Kezong, will come to the palace to meet you tomorrow."
