Chapter 4: Beautiful as ever (1)
"My brother Zhu Youjian bowed to the emperor, long live, long live!" What Zhu Yinglong didn't expect was that Emperor Tianqi would suddenly send an order to summon him. It seemed that the queen Zhang Yan must have learned the news and told her cheap brother the news.
When he saw his brother, Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao revealed his true feelings. With the help of Wei Zhongxian, he came over with a smile and helped Zhu Yinglong up and said, "Fifth brother, how are you in the fiefdom?"
Zhu Yinglong felt a sore nose. No matter what, this cheap brother was still good to him. This made him feel the long-lost family affection and choked up and said, "Your Majesty, I miss you."
Emperor Tianqi was also influenced by emotions for a moment. He was a cowardly person. When his brother cried like this, his eyes turned red and comforted him: "Aren't you going to Beijing? Just live in the capital for a few more days. If one person is too lonely, take the three princesses over."
Zhu Yinglong's heart skipped a beat and took Zhou Yingning and the others over. Wouldn't it be that Wei Zhongxian was going to catch him? Is this the original intention of Emperor Tianqi? Or did Wei Zhongxian bewitch him? He wouldn't be able to judge for a while. Wei Zhongxian on the side had no emotional fluctuations and had no expression on his face.
"I am thankful for the emperor's compassion, but I am already in Kaifeng, and I have to take care of someone. I am missing. I am afraid I will be in chaos." Zhu Yinglong replied carefully.
"Since that's the case, then..." Emperor Tianqi planned to do this without thinking. At this time, Wei Zhongxian suddenly stood up and said strangely: "Prince Xin is in Kaifeng's family, and of course he needs a capable person to watch. He only needs one princess to stay, and the other two can come to Beijing to accompany the prince?"
Zhu Yinglong secretly looked at the face of Emperor Tianqi and found that he was not displeased. It seemed that he trusted Wei Zhongxian very much. He didn't even blame him for interrupting him casually. His heart suddenly sank, and his mind suddenly changed: "The factory man said it is reasonable, but I have always been physically inconsistent. The affairs in the mansion are handled by the three princesses. The mansion says it is not big, it is not small, and there are many big and small things. Every time I see them busy all day, I feel ashamed that I am not healthy and cannot help them. If I put all the affairs on one person, I am afraid it will be unbearable."
The prince was in poor health and the princess was in charge. Wei Zhongxian couldn't say anything. Seeing that his younger brother had been there for a year, not only did he lose all his dementia, but his speech was clear. He couldn't help but feel a little happy and said, "Forget it, the princess can't come, and the fifth brother cannot be taken care of. Zhongxian, isn't the inner palace in the imperial examination? Choose a few who can serve people and send them to the Xinwang Mansion."
Wei Zhongxian's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he lowered his head and replied: "Yes, Master, I will definitely do this."
This is a secret spy for himself, and he also used a beauty trick. Zhu Yinglong sneered in his heart, but he couldn't help but thank him.
"Fifth brother, I heard that you are a little incompatible with the King of Zhou in Kaifeng?" asked Emperor Tianqi.
"Report to the emperor, there is something happening, but the matter has been resolved." Zhu Yinglong pushed the matter and pretended not to know anything. On the surface, it was solved, and everyone is still in peace now.
"But I received a secret letter from the King of Zhou, who sued you for being unable to run rampant in Kaifeng and forcibly destroying his engagement with Miss Tian. Is there any such thing?"
"I can't recognize my brother. I am not afraid to recognize me. My brother is alone and rarely deals with the outside world. The three princesses are also weak women, and they cannot cause trouble outside. As for the forced destruction of the engagement, I cannot recognize me. The document for breaking the engagement was sent by the King of Zhou to my brother's mansion." Zhu Yinglong estimated that Zhu Gongye would not write down his face in secret in secret. After saying this, he occupied all of them. Emperor Tianqi did not know the reason, so he would definitely lean towards him in his heart, unless he gave the King of Zhou a dictator to the capital.
"Zhongxian, what King Xin said is the fact?" Emperor Tianqi believed it a little, and turned to Wei Zhongxian and asked.
"In my opinion, what I said in the opinion of Mr. Xin seems to be true, but this is just a one-sided statement of Mr. Xin, and it seems not enough to fully accept it." Wei Zhongxian had already thought about it and said.
"Man, although I am young, I will not talk nonsense in front of the emperor. I am the emperor's younger brother. My words are not enough to be accepted. Who can accept them?" Zhu Yinglong's voice became louder without hesitation. Zhu Yinglong judged that most of the things were caused by Wei Zhongxian's bewitching, so his courage naturally became stronger.
"Your Majesty, I just talk about the matter. Prince Xin asked me in such a tone. I don't know the King of Zhou, and there is no need to favor him. I also asked the Emperor to be the master of me!" Wei Zhongxian immediately looked aggrieved, knelt down at Emperor Tianqi, and pretended to squeeze out a few tears, which made Zhu Yinglong feel chilled.
"Okay, okay, I know, you get up quickly." Emperor Tianqi saw Wei Zhongxian kneeling down, and hurriedly reached out to let him get up, his eyes full of trust.
"Hmph!" Zhu Yinglong snorted lightly.
Emperor Tianqi hurriedly said to Zhu Yinglong with a gentle voice: "Fifth brother, don't be angry with Zhongxian. He is loyal to me. Although his words are unpleasant, they are still a pity. I still need to investigate this matter before the district."
Wei Zhongxian, who was standing aside, felt like he was in a state of uproar. He had known this long ago that Emperor Tianqi wanted to make King Xin the crown prince. He thought that he would not be his turn to drive King Xin out of the capital, and with the dementia he suddenly came to, the position of King Xin was not his turn. In this situation, King Xin was suddenly as intact as before, and his mind and wisdom were even better than before, and he had a grudge earlier than himself. Emperor Tianqi had signs of reconsidering the intention of establishing King Xin as crown prince. This King Xin was really a fish bone, stuck in his throat, like a thorn in his throat, unable to swallow or vomit, which was really uncomfortable. If he was allowed to unite with the one in the harem, it would be even more troublesome. Wei Zhongxian's careful eyes began to move. He would discuss it later and find a way to deal with them.
Next, the two brothers talked about family matters. Zhu Yinglong talked about Kaifeng and the experiences along the way. They were all unheard of in this deep palace. However, Emperor Tianqi was extremely happy to hear it. A little blood appeared on his pale face. He looked much cheerful. This may be the sorrow of being an emperor, especially those like Emperor Tianqi, who spent his whole life in this cold and inhumane palace. He listened to the praises of his ministers and enjoyed the joys of his sings. Although he could be a groom every day, Emperor Tianqi was not happy at all. Perhaps only when he was a carpenter can he find his true self. No wonder he was unwilling to deal with the government and was unwilling to go to court, which led to a eunuch who was good.
The country's governance is in chaos, the people are living in poverty, and later generations hate Emperor Tianqi to be a cowardly and a foolish monarch, but they never thought that his talent was not as a monarch at all. If he was asked to study carpenter craftsmanship, he might become a world-renowned craft master, just like Emperor Huizong of Song, who was famous in the world in thin gold calligraphy, and his achievements in calligraphy and painting were no less than those of famous calligraphers in history. As well as the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, a generation of poets, everyone may say that he did not have the experience of the king who lost his country and could not write such words, but if he did not have such talent, why didn't Goujian write such words? At this moment, Zhu Yinglong deeply understood that Emperor Tianqi was the person who should not sit on the dragon throne!
