Zhu Gaochi looked back and saw that several ministers had no intention of talking again, so he waved his hand, "The news about the matter of Yang Shiqi (Yang Shiqi) and Yang Siqing (Yang Rong) discussed it, come to see me again."

All the ministers held their rituals and said, "I will thank you and give up."

Zhu Gaochi turned to Hou Hai and said, "It's getting late. Call Huang Zhong in and ask everyone else to go back. Let's discuss it later."

Haitao said: "I obey the order."

The person who gave Zhang Fu's memorial was not an ordinary official, but Huang Zhong, the left deputy general of the Jiaozhi Army. Zhu Gaochi had to meet him no matter what.

After a while, Huang Zhong went inside and crawled and bowed, with a very respectful manner.

Zhu Gaochi called him up and asked, "The Duke of England sent you to Beijing, what else is there?"

"Wei Chen..." Huang Zhong looked at Haitao standing next to him. Zhu Gaochi turned to look at Haitao and nodded slightly. Haitao immediately stepped backwards and walked out of the East Warehouse partition.

Huang Zhong said: "Please step closer."

Zhu Gaochi nodded and agreed. Huang Zhong walked to the imperial case and whispered: "The British Duke has a sentence that wants to make a speech on the emperor, but it is not convenient to write it on the memorial. The British Duke asked the minister to make a speech and reminded the emperor that the Marquis of Jiangyin Wu Gao was in charge of the army."

Zhu Gaochi frowned and said, "Wu Gao was not going forward. Was it done on purpose?"

Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "It's not that... The British Duke did not say anything about Jiangyin Hou's use of military power, but said that Jiangyin Hou could regain military power."

Zhu Gaochi was silent for a long time before then he raised his head and asked, "Are you finished speaking?"

Huang Zhong hurriedly said, "I have only one word, please give up."

Huang Zhongdai's words were too obscure, but Zhu Gaochi thought it was not that simple. Zhang Fu asked a general to personally send a memorial to Beijing, just to express his words to the saint. Is it that simple? Unless Zhang Fu is confused.

... Not long ago, Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong came over on the slanting corridor, and the eunuch Haitao also followed him. Haitao told the other civil and military officials to disperse. At that time, Yang Shiqi saw a loss and heavy expression on the face of Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei.

The imperial edict was called Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong and the other two discussed the matter of reporting the matter again, so Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong walked out of the Qianqing Palace side by side.

They walked to the wide brick floor beside the three halls, and Yang Shiqi said, "Jian Ren (Yang Rong) just now knew about it. I don't agree with the writing of the newspaper."

Yang Rong said: "The emperor's words must be revised, but the most important thing has not been rejected."

Yang Shiqi did not refute and walked for a while with his head down.

Suddenly Yang Rong asked, "Brother, why does the emperor not reject it?"

Yang Shiqi bowed and said, "I hope to hear the details."

Yang Rong turned his head and looked behind him and said in a deep voice: "Brother, please read Zhang Fu's memorial carefully? There is a passage inside... Zhenyuan Hou was stationed at Kunming City. In mid-February, the military ration was burned by the rebel general Ping'an. I wondered about it and searched everywhere in the garrison, but failed."

He paused for a moment and said quietly: "When will Guizhou City be destroyed? It will be less than mid-February?"

Yang Shiqi had to admire Yang Rong's memory. He could recite the original text after reading it once. Yang Shiqi also understood what Yang Rong meant, and felt that Yang Rong was indeed good at observing words and expressions and comprehension of the holy meaning.

In the Southwest battle, there will be no deviation from the facts that the court has mastered; even the memorials of the generals are mostly reported according to the facts. After all, the memorials for the emperor are not reported by the emperor. Several generals who participated in the war are all responsible! They either have poor combat or are worried about the situation, but at least they did not intentionally.

But Gu Cheng was different! In order to protect his family, he ignored the important matter of quelling the rebellion in the court and burned his military rations?

Zhang Fu hinted in the memorial that he might have doubts in the Lord's heart. Therefore, although Yang Rong's advice was exaggerated, the Lord did not completely reject it. Perhaps he was indeed very angry at Gu Cheng's actions.

When Yang Shiqi thought of this, he stopped persuading Yang Rong. He pondered: "Just say a word of lie, you can't just say one word."

"Lie?" Yang Rong repeated.

Yang Shiqi glanced at Yang Rong and said, "My proposal is to add the burning of military rations in the section about Zhenyuan Hou in the mansion."

Yang Rong thought for a while and nodded vigorously, "It makes sense! I will advise the emperor again and ordered the Zhenyuan Hou to return to Beijing to report his duties. There is another rebellion among the people of Jiaozhi. The remaining troops of the Guizhou Army can be transferred to the Jiaozhi Administration and the General Office for reinforcements. After the court quells the rebellion of the Han King, the Guizhou army can return to their hometowns."

The two looked at each other and acted very tacitly. Although their political views were often opposite, somehow, Yang Rong had a good relationship with Yang Shiqi in private.

Yang Shiqi said: "You can do one more thing, find someone to impeach Guo Ming and collude with the enemy, and it will be related to the fall of Guizhou City."

"Can Guo Ming blame this?" Yang Rong frowned and pondered.

Yang Shiqi said: "A while ago, many people were involved in the injury. If we do this, we can also let others do our best."

...At this time, Zhu Gaochi had left the Qianqing Palace and came straight to the bedroom of the imperial concubine Zhang Miaohua.

Zhang Miaohua greeted the palace gate with a big belly. She bent down, but she still wanted to salute. Zhu Gaochi hurriedly reached out and gestured in the air: "Don't give me a gift quickly. Be careful of the imperial concubine."

Zhu Gaochi walked up to him, then reached out to support Zhang Miaohua, and then ordered the eunuchs and palace maids to help her in.

Zhang Miaohua's belly was very big. According to the imperial physician, labor was about to be done. Zhu Gaochi sat down on the chair, asking about his well-being, while looking at his bulging belly with great interest.

"Do you think it's a prince or a princess?" Zhu Gaochi asked casually.

Zhang Miaohua blushed and said, "I don't know, but the imperial doctor said it was very likely that it was a prince."

Zhu Gaochi nodded. Since Zhang Miaohua entered the palace, he has been favored by him. But today he is a little distracted and has talked much less.

The words that the imperial concubine's father Zhang Fu asked someone to bring were always lingering in Zhu Gaochi's heart. In fact, there is no need for Zhang Fu to remind him that after Zhu Gaochi learned of the defeat in the Southwest, he was also thinking about it repeatedly...

First of all, what Zhu Gaochi thought of was the past of the Yongle Dynasty. His father didn't like him at that time, and Zhu Gaochi always felt that his father had made him the crown prince was very reluctant. There were rumors that Taizong wanted to pass the throne to his grandson, but Zhu Gaochi himself also had a suspicion: his father was forced to compromise.

After the "Jingnan Campaign", the confidant counselors of the Yan Prince's Mansion and many civil officials in the court supported Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince for their long-term plans and had the title of eldest son as a reason. Taizong killed a lot of people, but he could not kill all the people around him who supported him as emperor. So in the end, Emperor Taizong could not completely control the position of those people, so he had to compromise.

Now, Zhu Gaochi faces the same problem. Those who have the merit of following the dragon and support him as the emperor the most may be colluding with Empress Zhang and the eldest son born to the queen!

Zhang Fu's daughter, Concubine Zhang, was very favored by the emperor and was pregnant with a dragon seed, which faintly threatened the queen. Therefore, the queen and the ministers echoed inside and outside, which eventually led to the recognition of Xu Huizu's proposal and recommended the old general Wu Gao to command the army; to use this to suppress Zhang Fu's momentum?

Whether it was the Yongle Dynasty or the speculation of the current situation, Zhu Gaochi was thinking about it himself. He could not determine whether the facts were like this, nor could he discuss such things with others; it might be just that he was overthinking... However, judging from the hints brought by Zhang Fu's Secret Envoy, Zhang Fu probably had such speculations!

Zhu Gaochi looked at his body that was so fat that he could not ride a horse to fight. Sometimes he felt like a prisoner, locked up in the imperial city. What can he do with those people? Even the person who was so violent and impatient in his father dared not kill people. Does Zhu Gaochi dare?

"Oh!" Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Miaohua's voice said, "Do you have any worries?"

Zhu Gaochi showed a reluctant smile and shook his head and said, "It's all about the court, you don't have to worry. You can only rest in a while."

"I thank you, Master." Zhang Miaohua said in a moving manner.

At this moment, a palace maid brought tea to Zhu Gaochi. At first, Zhu Gaochi didn't pay attention, thinking she was a eunuch, and turned around and realized that she was a palace maid. The palace maid disguised as a man, wore a long robe, tied her hair bun and a net scarf.

When Zhu Gaochi saw it, he felt that the young woman was dressed like this and she couldn't help but take a look at her again.

Zhang Miaohua said: "She is called Nightingale, and she followed me at a very young age. When I entered the palace, I couldn't bear to leave her, so I got the Queen to bring Nightingale into the palace together."

"Nightinging?" Zhu Gaochi said casually, "Call it... Is it so nice to speak?"

Zhang Miaohua said: "Nightingale, say something to the Lord."

The palace maid bent her knees and made a fortune, her white and rosy face showed shyness, "I pay homage to the emperor, and the emperor will live forever."

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said, "It sounds good!" He immediately stood up with a little difficulty, "Nightinging, help me, I'll go to change my clothes."

The palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhu Gaochi and took him to the back to find the toilet.

Zhu Gaochi was supported and walked into a carved wooden door. He turned around and closed the wooden door with a creaking sound, and suddenly pressed the palace maid to the wall. "Ah!" Nightingale screamed nicely, and Zhu Gaochi bent down impatiently and reached into his own robe. The palace maid's face turned red with a trembling voice: "Emperor, please don't do this..."

"Don't you?" Zhu Gaochi asked with a frown.

The palace maid bit her red lips and nodded, "I...I dare not disagree."

Zhu Gaochi looked around and sat down on a stool, and said with a long sigh: "Come here, you will still dress up in this way from now on. You will usually go to the East Nuan Pavilion to serve me."

"The East Warm Pavilion of Ganqing Palace?" Nightingale showed a look of surprise in her timidity.

Zhu Gaochi nodded and slapped his head, "You won't be illiterate?"

The palace maid hurriedly said, "I am aware of writing, and the imperial concubine taught me."

Zhu Gaochi said, "That's good. I'll serve me in the East Warehouse. I'll keep my eyes on it. Listen to your crisp sound like a warbler. Maybe I can rest a little bit of trouble."

The palace maid blushed and said, "I thank the emperor for his good words."
