A few days later, Zhu Gaoxu met Liu Ming again, and this time he took the initiative to summon Liu Ming.

Hearing the sound of bowing and praise from outside the Rouyi Hall, Zhu Gaoxu picked up the memorial on the desk. He fell on the notebook just now in anger. Hearing the eunuch's response to Liu Ming's meeting, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at the eunuchs and palace maids beside him, and they consciously retreated.

Liu Ming entered and knelt on the brick floor again and bowed.

"Flat." Zhu Gaoxu said expressionlessly. He had restrained his anger and calmed down.

When Liu Ming got up, Zhu Gaoxu handed over the memorial in his hand.

Liu Ming bent down and took it with his hands, turned it open. His face quickly became very ugly, he buried his head and quietly wiped his forehead with his sleeve. I don’t know if it was because of the hot weather or his mood was tense.

This memorial was written by officials of the Censorate, and the content was to impeach Liu Ming. It was said that his stepfather, the Li family clan, colluded with Zhejiang merchants, lent high profits and loans in Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi, and there were forced robbery incidents. In a short period of time, more than 200 hectares of fertile land were merged. There were many evidences mentioned. If the Censorate officials did not dare to deceive the emperor, then various evidences could fully confirm the illegal affairs of the Li family.

Liu Ming looked at the memorial for a while and was about to kneel down. Zhu Gaoxu was quick-eyed and his hands suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm. He raised his head in surprise and stared at Zhu Gaoxu in a daze.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately asked, "Did you know about it in advance?"

The two of them looked at each other, and Zhu Gaoxu watched intently. Liu Ming's subtle eyes at this moment seemed to want to capture something.

Liu Ming's arm pressing downwards reduced his strength. He should have given up kneeling and then replied: "I don't know."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu let go of his arm and nodded slightly.

Liu Ming said again: "But I still cannot refuse the blame and dare not make any quibbling."

Zhu Gaoxu took two steps behind his back, and his tone eased a lot: "They are them, you are you. Liu Tiju must argue and clear the suspicion of his accomplice."

Liu Ming's voice said, "In this way, my ministers will be unfilial. The later father also has the kindness of raising him. If my colleagues impeached me from filial piety, wouldn't it be more serious?"

Zhu Gaoxu immediately turned around, looking a little surprised, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

When a person expresses his own heart, those less glorious thoughts, he actually shows trust. Zhu Gaoxu immediately claimed that he was "unaware" to Liu Ming and believed it a little more.

Liu Ming said again: "After I left the palace, I left my official seal and hat in the Ministry of Justice, and went home to wait for interrogation."

What he said was normal operation. At least on the surface, civil servants must be shamed. If they were impeached by someone, they would not be able to show their greed for power or not.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu did not dissuade him. He just said in a deep voice: "Liu Tiju's stepfather may have really violated the law, but the key to this matter is because you offended people. After all, it is not only your family who annexed the land."

It was Liu Ming's turn to be surprised, and he was stunned when he looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

At this moment, a general wearing a python robe and black veil came to the gate of Rouyi Hall and asked for an order to enter. The person who came was Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei. Zhang Sheng walked to Zhu Gaoxu and then clasped his fists and said, "I ask the emperor to give me the order."

Zhu Gaoxu raised his chin, and Liu Ming knew the meaning, so he gave the memorial to Zhang Sheng.

"Whose Zhejiang businessmen who were colluded with the Li family was immediately arrested and imprisoned, and interrogated who was the behind-the-scenes commander." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Zhang Sheng clasped his fists and said, "I obey the order!" Then he retreated to the door simply and quickly.

Liu Ming frowned and asked, "The emperor believes that someone is planning to set up a situation in this matter?"

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "Who knows? But if anyone wants to play this game with me, I will let him go with it in the end."

Zhu Gaoxu is also famous for being cunning. He often plots against others. If some people want to plot against him, he will definitely be dissatisfied, so he said what he said just now.

Liu Ming whispered: "My second-father is not a respected person. Even if he did do those things, I feel that it is 'reasonable'."

"Well..." Zhu Gaoxu made a voice.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu just walked silently in front of the desk. He spoke again: "You must be strong by yourself if you make a blacksmith."

Liu Ming hurriedly said: "The Lord has taught me the truth."

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and said, "As long as you are not that kind of person, you don't have to be afraid."

Liu Ming thought for a moment and bowed and said, "The emperor's kindness is my fault, I don't know how to repay you."

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly stopped talking about impeachment and asked, "What is Liu Tiju's cousin's name? Do you have a good relationship with him?"

Liu Ming bowed and said, "Return to the emperor, my cousin is Chen Zhang. I grew up with Chen Zhang since I was a child and had a strong brotherhood. However, when Chen Zhang was alive, I probably thought he was just a relative; until Chen Zhang died, I felt that I felt a little empty in my heart. Or maybe he died too miserable, I was resentful."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Then you go home first, and then I will allow you to go to the south with the army to make up for your mistakes."

Liu Ming said: "I thank the priest for your kindness."

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Your stepfather's clan should be fine, but the fertile land you occupied must be spit out to convince the public."

Liu Ming thanked him again.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and asked Liu Ming to go back.

The heat in summer is getting hotter and hotter, and today's hall room seems to be even hotter than yesterday. Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door and still didn't feel any wind, and his mood became a little irritable.

The silk on his body was very thin, but it also had two layers. In addition to the lining, there was also a blue dragon robe on it. According to etiquette, no matter how hot the weather was, no matter how hot the weather was, no matter how elegant the people were, they could not show their arms and arms, and could only wear long clothes to endure it.

After a while, the eunuchs and palace maids came in again. The two palace maids looked at Zhu Gaoxu and hurried forward with fans. He felt a lot better. But the palace maids were not feeling well. The two girls who had been suffocating were covered with sweat on their hair, and their hair was stuck to their skin. Sweat soaked their dresses, and a faint smell of the woman's body was filled with women's body, which made Zhu Gaoxu even more impetuous. He endured and didn't turn to look at them.

Zhu Gaoxu stayed in Rouyi Hall for an afternoon, and left the place before You hour, and took a sedan chair and went straight to Kunning Palace. He came to Guo Wei's bedroom, took off his robe and hat, then lifted up his sleeves and sat on a cold collapse without moving.

"The emperor is afraid of heat or cold." Guo Wei said in his voice.

Then she took a bowl of iced Tremella soup from the palace maid and brought it up. She started to say a lot of trivial matters slowly, but nothing important. Zhu Gaoxu sat there listening, without interrupting her at all, but just gave some brief responses from time to time.

But Guo Wei came to her senses and asked carefully: "Did I talk too much?"

Zhu Gaoxu adjusted his troubled mood, shook his head and smiled: "I like to listen to you, so I didn't say much."

Guo Wei's delicate and white face suddenly showed joy: "Really?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "We have been married for so many years, why should I coax you again? The beauty is not only beautiful, but also sounds comfortable. I heard Wei Er's voice sound very beautifully and cool, and I felt that the weather was not that hot, which was very relieved."

Guo Wei covered her mouth and laughed constantly, "Even if you coax me, I'm very happy. But I am the queen, not a beauty."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "The beautiful queen." He then casually said more specifically, "Wei'er is not like the burly Guo Ying. Instead, you have a weak bones. You have grown a little plump these years, but you still have a slim waist, your figure looks slender and soft, and you have a little more charming, which is very pleasing to your eyes."

Although the two are husband and wife, Zhu Gaoxu does not meet Guo Wei every day, and his attitude has always been very good when meeting.

He said a few simple words, but Guo Wei was overjoyed. She was so happy that she turned around twice in front of Zhu Gaoxu, deliberately letting him see more clearly. Compared to her usual pretentious appearance, she seemed to have become a little girl who invited her to be favored.

She said more, "I met my father in the palace building a few days ago. My father praised the emperor for being the throne for several years. The world has changed a lot. The river is full of merchant ships, cargo ships, and there are endless carriages and horses on the post roads, and there are more and more houses living in the city. The atmosphere of the soldiers of the Beijing camp and the garrison is also very different from before. I am just a little bit blaming me for not understanding military affairs. If it weren't for my father's statement, I wouldn't know that the emperor is so powerful, and he is truly a wise ruler in civil and military affairs."

Originally, Zhu Gaoxu was not interested in the content of her chatting, but suddenly felt much better when he was unintentionally. Guo Wei made him think that his new policy was effective, and that someone in the world would definitely agree with him.

Guo Wei didn't know what she remembered, and her little face turned to dark again, and she whispered: "It's a pity that the Guo family failed to help the emperor, but instead received a lot of rewards and benefits."

"The queen helped me a lot." Zhu Gaoxu said sincerely, at least the harem was not in chaos for the time being. He paused and said, "Besides, when people are at the position of the emperor, they care most about money. It doesn't matter if they are divided into some."

Guo Wei asked, "What is that?"

Zhu Gaoxu said lightly: "Power | Power."

Guo Wei finally calmed down and sat on the bamboo mat next to Zhu Gaoxu, as if thinking about something. Zhu Gaoxu recalled her sister Guo Yan, and thought that Guo Yan was smart and exposed, while the queen acted more simple and kind, but she should also have her own opinions. However, compared with the imperial concubine Mu Zhen, the queen may have a somewhat worse experience.

Zhu Gaoxu then put his palm on her soft horn. Her hands were slender and smooth, cooler than Zhu Gaoxu's palms.
