Chapter 441 Lies

Zhu Gaochi looked back and saw that several ministers had no intention of speaking again, so he waved his hand. After the matter reported by Yang Shilang (Yang Shiqi) and Yang Siqing (Yang Rong) discussed, they would come to see me again.

All the ministers held their rituals and said, "I am grateful 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 learned about this and had to meet him no matter what.

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

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

Weichen... Huang Zhong looked at Haitao standing next to him.Zhu Gaochi turned his head to look at Haitao, nodded slightly, and Haitao immediately stepped backwards toward the partition of the East Warehouse.

Huang Zhongdao: Please step forward a few steps.

Zhu Gaochi nodded and agreed.

Huang Zhong walked to the imperial desk and whispered: The British Duke has a sentence that he wants to give to the emperor, but it is not convenient to write it on the memorial.The British Duke asked the empress to advise the emperor, Jiangyin Hou Wu Gao, to take charge of the military affairs.

Zhu Gaochi frowned and said: Wu Gao was stumbling and refused to go forward. Was it intentional?

Huang Zhong shook his head and said: That's not the case... 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?

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

Huang Zhongdai's words are too obscure, but Zhu Gaochi thinks it is 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, on the slanting corridor, Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong came over, and the eunuch Haitao also came out.

Haitao said that other civil and military officials had dispersed. At that time, Yang Shiqi saw a loss and heavy expression on the face of Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei.

The imperial edict asked Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong to discuss the matter of reporting again, so Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong walked out of the Ganqing Palace side by side.

They walked to the wide brick floor beside the three halls, and Yang Shiqi said: Just now, Mian Ren (Yang Rong) 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 wish to hear the details.

Yang Rong turned his head and looked behind him and said in a deep voice: Zhang Fu’s memorial, brother, have you read it carefully?There is a passage inside... Zhenyuan Hou stationed at the city of Kunming. In mid-February, the military rations were 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 then said quietly: When was Guizhou City destroyed?It's not until mid-February?

Yang Shiqi had to admire Yang Rong's memory and 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 his words and expressions and comprehension of the holy intentions.

In the Southwest battle, the court would not have many deviations in the actual situation. Even the memorials of the generals were reported based on the facts. After all, the memorials that the emperor read were not reported by the emperor.

The generals who participated in the war were all responsible!

Either they were ineffective in combat or were worried about it, but at least they did not do it on purpose.

But Gu Cheng is different!In order to protect his family, he ignored the important matter of quelling the rebellion in the court and did he do the self-immolation of military rations?

Zhang Fu hinted in the memorial that he might have doubts in the mind of the emperor.Therefore, although Yang Rong's advice was exaggerated, the emperor 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 it.

Yang Shiqi glanced at Yang Rong and said: My claim is to report the matter of military rations burning in the section about Zhenyuan Hou.

Yang Rong thought for a while, nodded vigorously and said: It makes sense!I will give advice to the emperor again and order the Marquis of Zhenyuan to return to Beijing to report his duties.There was also a rebellion among the Jiaozhi people, and the remaining troops of the Guizhou Army could be transferred to the Jiaozhi Administration and the General Office for reinforcements. After the court quelled the rebellion of the Han King, the Guizhou army could return to their hometown.

The two looked at each other and acted very tacitly.Although their political views are often opposite, somehow, Yang Rong has 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 is related to the fall of Guizhou City.

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

Yang Shiqi said: There were many people who were hurt by Guo Ming a while ago. If we do this, we can also let others do their best.

...At this time, Zhu Gaochi had left the Ganqing Palace and went 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 made a gesture to salute.Zhu Gaochi hurriedly reached out and gestured in the air: Please give me no gift.Be careful, 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 is very big. According to the imperial doctor, labor is about to be imminent.Zhu Gaochi sat down on the chair, while asking about his well-being, while looking at his bulging belly with great interest.

You mean 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 was a little distracted and talked much less.

The words that the imperial concubine's father Zhang Fu asked someone to bring him have been 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, Zhu Gaochi thought of the past of the Yongle Dynasty.

Back then, the emperor didn't like him very much, and Zhu Gaochi always felt that it was very reluctant for his father to make him the crown prince.

There are 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 Prince Yàn's mansion and many civil officials in the court supported Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince for the long-term plan of his own status, and had the title of eldest son as a reason.

Taizong killed a lot of people, but he couldn't kill everyone around him who supported him as emperor?

So in the end, Emperor Taizong could not fully control the positions of those people and had to compromise.

Now, Zhu Gaochi faces the same problem.Those who have the best support for him as the emperor may be colluding with Empress Zhang and the eldest son born to Empress Zhang!

Zhang Fu's daughter, Concubine Zhang, was extremely favored by the emperor and was pregnant with a dragon seed, which vaguely threatened the queen.

Therefore, the empress 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 neither 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 someone as irritable as his father, dare not kill people indiscriminately. Does Zhu Gaochi dare?

well!Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Miaohua's voice said: Are you worried about the emperor?

Zhu Gaochi showed a reluctant smile and shook his head and said: It's all in the court, you don't have to worry, you'll have to rest for a while.

I thank you for yourselves.Zhang Miaohua said in a state of emotion.

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 ladies dressed in men, wore long robes, buns and net scarves.

When Zhu Gaochi looked at it, he felt that the young woman was dressed so pretty, and couldn't help but take a look at it again.

Zhang Miaohua said: Her name is 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 the Nightingale into the palace together.

nightingale?Zhu Gaochi said casually, shouting... Is it so nice to speak?

Zhang Miaohua said: Nightingale, please tell the Lord.

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

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: It sounds really good!He immediately stood up with some difficulty, Nightingale, help me and I 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 creak, 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 and she said tremblingly: Emperor, please don't do this...

Don't you want to?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 in a long sigh: Come here, you will still dress up like this in the future.I usually go to Donghunting Pavilion to serve me.

Ganqing Palace East Warm Pavilion?The 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 a literate person, and the imperial concubine taught me.

Zhu Gaochi said: That's good. I'll serve me in the East Nuan Pavilion. I'll keep my eyes on you and listen to your crisp sound like a warbler. Maybe I can have less worries.

The palace maid blushed and said: I, I, thank you for your kind words.
