Ganqing Palace, sleeping hall.

Empress Zhang was already prepared for Xiao Jing’s rebuttal, and sneered, saying, “Eunuch Xiao, the matter is not what you said, right?”

"The prince inspected the defense of the nine gates. It was fine at first, but later he was so slow that no one was escorted and needed to go alone. It was all because the young master Liu thought that the prince was a mess; the prince wanted to recruit troops to protect the city walls, but the young master Liu refused to comply, thinking that the prince was acting erratic, and even scolded him in front of the court officials!"

"The prince was trapped in the siege of the Tatars' siege. Not only did Liu Shaofu not send troops to reinforce, he also sent troops to other places... Xiao Jing, Eunuch Xiao, dare you say that these are all caused by the prince's words that he would lead troops out of the city?"

Queen Zhang asked harshly, and in the end she said almost word by word. Every question made Xiao Jing's body tremble violently.

The first two items pointed out by Empress Zhang were indeed born, but the prince was surrounded and did not rescue him. Xiao Jing was about to argue, but suddenly remembered that the person who asked him was the queen, the mother of a country. As a slave of the royal family, he had no right to question the queen's words at all.

Xiao Jing felt extremely bitter: "What should I do? The queen is clearly going to wrongly accuse someone! But how should I tell His Majesty? I said it was disrespectful, and if I didn't say it, it was disrespectful. Now it would be a pain to me!"

After Queen Zhang asked sternly, Xiao Jing couldn't even spit out a word. Zhu Youzing's face that had just slowed down became ugly again, and he asked: "Xiao Jing, is there any such thing?"

When Xiao Jing heard that the emperor was not even willing to say anything, he knew that the emperor was really angry and could only hesitate: "Go back... Go back to Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I don't know!"

Without being able to refute Empress Zhang, Xiao Jing could only say that he "don't know". This is his way of protecting himself.

Queen Zhang stared at Xiao Jing proudly and turned to Zhu Youzhang: "Emperor, you said that the country is in trouble and the king is sick. The emperor's son serves as the chief lord as the governor of the country is a helpless act. Unexpectedly, Young Master Liu was stubborn and not only made a decision, but almost made the capital fall, but also ridiculed the emperor's son. It was obvious that he was not the king!"

"Ahem!"

Zhu Youzhang's condition had improved greatly, but after hearing Queen Zhang's questioning, his breath began to be disordered again and he coughed violently again.

Queen Zhang was disgraced and quickly reached out to pat her husband's back to help him straighten his breath.

After a while, Zhu Youting's condition improved slightly. Facing Queen Zhang, who was exhausted and panting, he said, "But... Liu Shaofu, he is always the prince's gentleman!"

At this time, Zhu Youzhang wanted to say good things for Liu Jian, but in fact he was looking for reasons for Liu Jian. Liu Jian was the young tutor of the prince and shouldered the responsibility of persuading the prince's words and deeds. In this way, what Liu Jian did was reasonable.

Empress Zhang saw that her husband could not bear the stimulation and did not want to mention this matter again, but when she saw that Zhu Youzhang was still talking to Liu Jian without any effort, she suddenly became angry, turned her head to the side, and said aggrievedly: "Emperor, since you said that, I have nothing to say."

"As the crown prince, the emperor must always have prestige so that he can stand alone in the future. However, in this battle, the emperor served the country, suffered several bloodshed, and even almost died to the battlefield. How much credit was so great? But when it fell into the hands of those evil people, it was not enough to achieve the reputation of being nonsense and acting erratic, so that everyone in the court thought that the emperor liked to be nonsense, and even if he ascended the throne in the future, he would be a fool. Woo woo..."

Speaking of this, Empress Zhang had already covered her face and cried, "But the emperor advocated sending troops to the Ming Dynasty for the country and the country. She followed the practice of Yu Qian, a famous minister of the previous dynasty, and this is a successful example proven in history. Even Mr. Zhang advised that he had to send troops outside the city to station him and form a horn with the capital to ensure that the capital was safe."

"Mr. Zhang's husband has been in war for a lifetime. Doesn't he understand military strategies? But some people just don't listen and guard the doors and end up in danger. As a result, they are in danger everywhere and have to take people to put out fires everywhere. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can summon civil servants and generals to come and ask for advice. How can you win the battle in the trap?"

"Now Chen Xi and Chen Qing's family have brought troops back to the capital, and finally solved the danger of the capital, but this also invisibly proves that the emperor's suggestion is practical! However, Liu Shaofu and others took credit for themselves. All the people who praise the court now are the cabinet and the six ministers. Have you ever said that the emperor and the emperor are good?"

"If even the heroes can ignore them, what fairness and morality can be expressed in this world? Emperor, if you think the emperor cannot succeed, why arrange for him to be the governor of the country and become a joke for the court? Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

When Zhu Youzhi saw his wife crying heartbrokenly, he was also sad and hurriedly comforted her: "Yue'er, don't be sad. I believe that Young Master Liu has no intention of being disrespectful to the prince!"

In desperation, Zhu Youzhang blurted out his wife's name.

When Empress Zhang came to the palace, she knew nothing except Zhu Youzhang knew about her boudoir name. It turned out that Empress Zhang’s real name was Zhang Yue.

Legend has it that when Empress Zhang’s mother Zhang Jinshi was pregnant with Empress Zhang, she dreamed that the moon in the sky entered her womb. When Empress Zhang was very young, Empress Zhang’s father Zhang Luan had told people about this, so she gave Empress Zhang’s name to her name, and then she brought the word “month”.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue, born "Huaiyue", became the queen of the Ming Dynasty, and was the only queen in history who was favored by all the honors and favors, and could enjoy monogamy treatment in the palace.

Empress Zhang was sad, not only for her husband's weak body, but also for her husband's neglect after giving birth to her daughter. She was also sad for Zhu Houzhao not being recognized by the ministers in the future and was unable to control the ministers. Her tears were like a dam breaking, and she quickly soaked her clothes.

Xiao Jing knelt aside and quietly raised his head to look at it. This scene fell into his eyes. He was frightened for a moment. At this time, he felt that the disaster was coming.

It was not until Queen Zhang's mood improved that Zhu Youzing hugged his wife and said seriously: "Empress, don't be sad. I will go to the main hall to summon three auxiliary ministers from the cabinet. Listen to what they say, you can tell whether the three of them are loyal to the emperor!"

...

...

Wenyuan Pavilion.

Xie Qian was in a good mood this day. His grandson-in-law came back and made great contributions. He had the opportunity to train his grandson-in-law to become a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and take over his own class. He was a successor.

Moreover, Chen Xi can be both literary and military, and has rules for both administration and military strategy. Now that he is staying in the capital, if he encounters something difficult to decide, he can ask Chen Xi to come up with advice, and no longer have to worry about not being able to write a ticket that will make the emperor dissatisfied.

Thinking of his compliment, Xie Qian even planned to vote a few points faster than usual.

Just as Xie Qian was doing things happily, someone from the Silijian sent a message saying that the emperor asked the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet to go to the Ganqing Palace to meet the emperor.

In Xie Qian's opinion, this kind of summons is very ordinary. It is just a routine question or something that the emperor has to do, and they need help to discuss it... In essence, the cabinet is the emperor's secretary, who helps to discuss it.

Li Dongyang did not take turns in the palace that day. There were only Xie Qian and Liu Jian in Wenyuan Pavilion. After receiving the imperial edict, the two went to the Ganqing Palace. Along the way, Liu Jian didn't say anything to Xie Qian, mainly because the two had different recognitions of Chen Xi's merits. Liu Jian did not want to have a dispute with Xie Qian on this issue.

When he arrived in front of the Ganqing Palace, he did not see Xiao Jing who usually came out to greet him. Xie Qian didn't care too much.

Just at this moment, a eunuch came out to summon him and said, "Two sirs, the emperor has been waiting for you in there for a long time!"

"Have you been working!"

As a cabinet assistant, Liu Jian always takes the lead in his work, mainly because since the Hongzhi Dynasty, the position of the cabinet assistant was repeatedly pushed up by the emperor. Liu Jian faintly had the intention of being the prime minister in one dynasty, especially now that Xiao Jing, the eunuch of the Sili Prison, is cowardly and never argues with him.

As long as the Silijian is done, the status of the cabinet assistant when the emperor rarely reviews the memorials is the same as that of the prime minister, because no matter what he writes, the Silijian basically conducts self-criticism according to the script.

Xie Qian followed Liu Jian and entered the Ganqing Palace. He saw Zhu Youting sitting upright on the dragon chaise behind the table.

When the two of them met, they didn't say anything, and they stood on both sides waiting for the emperor to ask.

Zhu Youzing looked at Xie Qian and Liu Jian, smiled reluctantly, and asked, "Two Qing families, I heard that the prince has gained and lost performance in this war. I have entrusted him to the two Qing families. I wonder what the two beloved ministers have to say about the actions of the prince and the country?"

Xie Qian was stunned and thought to himself: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask about the prince? In this battle against Diyi, the prince was not only impatient, but also acted well. Logically speaking, Your Majesty should have known it a long time ago and didn't need to ask me!"

Liu Jian was straightforward. When he saw the emperor asking, he didn't think much about it and gave him a direct answer: "Reply to Your Majesty, I think that since the crown prince was in charge of the country, he has been in many erratic words and actions, and has never fulfilled his responsibilities!"

After hearing this direct answer, Zhu Youzhang coughed violently and thought to himself: "Young Master Liu, what's wrong with you? I came to you to say something nice and block the queen's mouth. As a result, you don't give the prince face when you come up. This is clearly a slap in the face!"
