After clarifying the truth about the collapse of the lobby of the clan mansion, Emperor Tianqi was no longer interested in chatting with the King of Qin. He waved his hand and a group of guards immediately stepped forward to hand the King of Qin out of the palace.

"Brother Cheng, today I am so powerful that all the Donglin Party won it in one fell swoop," Emperor Tianqi said with a smile, "The court is much quieter."

"Then how did the emperor lead to those Donglin Party?"

"The chief assistant of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao, was dismissed from his post. He was old and refused to exile, so he returned to his hometown to think about his mistakes. All other Donglin Party members were kept, and they were shackled to work. After the staff of each department were filled, they would then be reorganized or retained depending on their ability and the severity of the crime."

"Didn't the Donglin Party respond?

"How can I not make a noise? They burst into tears and said that I was partial to my beliefs, but after hearing the evidence and verdict, some Donglin Party members suddenly realized, bowed their heads to confess their guilt, and some jumped out, shouting and saying that they would not be the official wearing shackles when they died. Wei Zhongxian asked the Jinyiwei to pull them out, push them to Xishi on the spot for execution, and announced that the family property of these people were confiscated and the three tribes of these people were destroyed. Only then did the Donglin Party members accept my punishment. One of the people who were killed was You Shiren, the Censor of Guangxi. It's ridiculous that he still had a memorial in his arms, preparing to impeach Xu Xianchun. Look, that's it."

After saying that, Emperor Tianqi took a memorial and handed it to Zhu Youcheng. Zhu Youcheng opened the memorial and read it at a glance, saying, "No, not bad."

Emperor Tianqi felt a little regretful and said, "Did Brother Cheng see from the memorial that You Shiren is very talented? Unfortunately, he has been beheaded and cannot be saved."

"No, I mean the paper has a good texture, thin and dry, and is most suitable for ignition. A Jian and I have been hungry for most of the day. Why not eat hot pot? It's just right to use this ignition."

Emperor Tianqi laughed and hurriedly asked the eunuch to set up the hot pot.

Zhu Youcheng said: "Anyway, I'm happy today, so why not invite the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Concubine, the Princess Shouning, and the Princess Ran Xingrang to eat together."

The Imperial Concubine is Dong Li, and Dong Li is also Li Xuanshi. At the beginning of this year, he was named Concubine Zhuang by Emperor Tianqi.

Zhu Youjian clapped his hands and said, "Okay, OK, there are so many people. By the way, my sister-in-law wants to invite you too."

Emperor Tianqi nodded with a smile and signaled Wei Zhongxian to make arrangements.

After a while, everyone was all here. Princess Shouning and her husband Ran Xingrang looked happy and thanked Zhu Youcheng for his gratitude.

Princess Shouning heard that Zhu Youjianrong was appointed as the Zuo Zongren Mansion, who managed the royal women's family, such as the princess, princesses, county lords, etc., and was glad that happiness really came this time. When Emperor Tianqi said that the princess could move out of the palace and lived in the princess's mansion outside the palace, he was even more happy.

The first time the Empress Dowager was eating hot pot, Zhu Youcheng thoughtfully helped her cook the dishes. Concubine Li Zhuang kept proving the dishes for Zhu You, and his belly was round, like a small ball. Emperor Tianqi and Empress Zhang naturally gave me dishes, and I was busy with the cooking. Princess Shouning and the Prince Consort were busy talking, and they wanted to make up for the love words that had not been finished for more than ten years.

People feel refreshed when they are happy, and they drink thousands of cups of wine. This meal lasts for an hour.

After dinner, after seeing off the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Concubine, Princess Shouning and the Princess Concubine, Emperor Tianqi said, "Brother Cheng, the cabinet is empty, what should I do? I originally wanted Ye Xianggao and Han Gong to keep it with shackles, but I was afraid that they would pull the hindrance, so I let them go."

"Ye Xianggao and Han Dong are the spiritual leaders of the Donglin Party. They must not stay in the court, otherwise it will be very troublesome. As for the cabinet, although I am not familiar with the people in the court, I think the ministers of the two people will definitely not have any objections to the cabinet. One is Gu Bingqian, the Minister of Rites. Although this person is not capable enough, fortunately, he can listen to the emperor's words very much and be able to implement the emperor's orders. The Minister of Rites is called the Prime Minister, so it is natural to enter the cabinet. The other is Sun Chengzong, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. Although he is not qualified, his abilities should still be sufficient. In addition, he is the emperor's teacher and is in line with the emperor's heart. In addition, I also recommend one person. Although this person has never been awarded the imperial examination and is still a scholar, he has shown outstanding internal affairs after being promoted by Emperor Shenzong Xian to the people. This person is Wen Donglai, the prefect of Yingtian."

Zhu Youjian also said: "Wen Donglai was my teacher. Later, after being named an official by Grandpa Shenzong, I was still unhappy because Teacher Wen taught very well, second only to Brother Cheng."

"Oh, I want to meet such a person. It's a turbulent time now. There are Jiannu in Liaodong, She Chongmin in Sichuan, and Anbangyan has launched another riot. I have to use those who are capable, regardless of whether he has fame or not." Emperor Tianqi said firmly, "By the way, what should I do when Donglin Academy is done? Should I send someone to seize it now, or let it develop?"

"Donglin Academy certainly cannot allow it to develop, but it is not appropriate to seize it now. The Donglin Party has many supporters in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. If it is rashly sealed, the Donglin Party really dares to incite the people's rebellion. It is better to ask Mr. Feng to write a plain sentence "The Sound of the Donglin Wind", expose the mask of the Donglin Party, and expose its nature of harming the country and the people, and then take over Donglin Academy and rename it Zhongxiao Academy to cultivate talents loyal to the emperor for the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Feng said that "The Lady Singer of the Laundry House" is coming to an end, and you can just serialize the next plain sentence."

"Mr. Feng?" Emperor Tianqi looked surprised, "Is it Feng Menglong? I have long wanted to promote him. Brother Cheng, you give him to me, and I will use it more for him."

Zhu Youjian pouted and said, "Why is the Emperor's brother who likes to steal my teacher like Grandpa Huang? Grandpa Shenzong snatched my Mr. Wen, and the Emperor's brother wants to steal my Mr. Feng again."

Emperor Tianqi touched Zhu Youjian's head and said, "Brother Jian, it's rare to have talent. I have too few people on hand now, so you have to help me."

Zhu Youcheng advised: "A Jian, don't be sad. Mr. Feng spread his wings and fly high. We should be happy for him. I would recommend another person to you. This person is named Ling Mengchu, a native of Zhejiang. He is as talented as Mr. Feng. We will send someone to Zhejiang to find him. At most two months, another teacher will be sent to you."

Zhu Youjian heard that he could find another good teacher, so he smiled.

"Brother Cheng, you have already learned about Yuan," said Emperor Tianqi again. "The test will be done in March next year. Don't run around during this period. Stay in Beijing and study with peace of mind. I'll wait for you to win six Yuan in a row. Come to the court to help me."

After discussing for a while, Zhu Youcheng and Zhu Youjian said goodbye and left, and returned to Zhu's mansion to see Wei Honglian who was staying there. Although he had sent someone to report his safety this morning, his son's mother was worried that he did not see Zhu Youcheng, and Wei Honglian was always uneasy.

When Wei Honglian saw Zhu Youcheng's eyes turned red and she said nothing. She brought a bowl of thick pork feet soup and forced him to drink it.

It was hard to refuse the kindness. Although Zhu Youcheng filled his stomach in the palace, he had to pinch his nose and drink the soup. Now, even Zhu Youcheng's belly was round, like a small ball.

Zhu Youcheng couldn't help but think that when Wei Honglian married Xu Xianchun, the thick soup would be saved by him. The thick soup had a very good fattening effect, and Xu Xianchun would soon turn from a middle-aged handsome guy to a big fat man. Thinking of Xu Xianchun's appearance of becoming fat, Zhu Cheng couldn't help laughing.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Xu Xianchun seemed to want to become fat, and the matter of the Donglin Party came to an end, so he started to propose, including Na Cai, Na Ji, Na Zheng, and An appointment, and he did his best. When the marriage date was set, Wei Zhongxian asked Zhu Youcheng to come to his house. After all, he was his mother, so it would be better for him to set the date.

Zhu Youcheng came to the Wei Mansion, and a group of eunuch party officials were flattering Wei Zhongxian.

An official said flatteringly: "Father, Lord Xu is really a perfect match for marrying Ling Ai."

Another official echoed: "Grandpa, Lord Xu and Ling Ai are really a match made by heaven. To be honest, I am not as quick as Lord Xu. I am planning to ask Grandpa for grace. But I didn't know that Lord Xu quietly took the lead in front of me, making me miss the opportunity and beat my chest and stamp my feet."

An official said: "You don't even urinate and take a look. Your virtue is worthy of being with Miss Wei. Is your face as good as Master Xu's feet?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Zhu Youcheng stepped into the door and heard the shameless conversation between the officials. His face turned pale, he snorted heavily, turned around and left.
