389. The minister recommends Dong Cheng [1]
【Asking for recommendation votes】
"Master, master, someone is coming from the palace. Please come to the palace to discuss..."
A boy came running up with a message.
"Now? It's almost dark, and you're still entering the palace!"
Zhu Xiuyuan took a look at the sky with a surprised look on his face.
"Well... this court meeting should be caused by today's turmoil. Qiu Wen, Qiu Wen, change your clothes..."
…
In Zhu Xiuyuan's room, he opened his hands as usual, held his head high, remained motionless, and even closed his eyes to meditate.
He was waiting for Qiu Wen to change his clothes.
Put on the general's court uniform so that you can go to court.
However, Zhu Xiuyuan closed his eyes and waited for a long time, but saw no movement from Qiu Wen.
He couldn't help but open his eyes, glanced left and right, and was stunned when he found Qiu Wen.
I saw Qiu Wen hugging the general's court uniform embroidered with bear embroidery, as if she was dragging a thousand pounds, huddled in the corner, as if she had been cast a restraining spell, her eyes bulging, motionless.
"Qiu Wen, you..."
Zhu Xiuyuan withdrew his raised hands and walked slowly over.
"Aren't you afraid of official robes? Why now...you're having a 'relapse'!"
With a playful smile, Zhu Xiuyuan put his two fingers together and lightly poked her forehead.
Qiu Wen is very timid.
I remember that in Jiangzhou, when Zhu Xiuyuan first became the Sima of Jiangzhou, when he was changing into his official robe, Zhu Xiuyuan discovered that Qiu Wen was actually afraid of his official robe.
Later, the plague broke out in Jiangzhou, and Qiu Wen was so afraid that she hid in the closet and refused to come out until she died...
"Aunt...Uncle, this is a new set of official robes..."
Qiu Wen whispered softly, her round little face flushed, and she was very embarrassed.
"What's the meaning?"
At first, Zhu Xiuyuan didn't react yet, but then his eyes moved and he understood.
It turns out that the reason why Qiu Wen is not afraid of Jiangzhou Sima's official robe is because she is familiar with it, but now this military officer's court uniform is unfamiliar...
"What's wrong with you...go and ask Xia Wu to come."
Zhu Xiuyuan found it funny and a little speechless. Of course, he felt more pity.
Qiu Wen was indeed scared. By observing her words and expressions, Zhu Xiuyuan didn't think she was pretending on purpose. It was a fear coming from deep in her heart!
This girl Qiu Wen is good at everything, but she has these little shortcomings.
"No, uncle, please take your time, I'll be fine soon..."
Qiu Wen puffed out her cheeks and remained stubborn.
"Ok, I will wait for you!"
Zhu Xiuyuan said seriously.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
Zhu Xiuyuan walked out of the room and put on the military officer's court uniform.
Of course, he did not forget the belt that Emperor Chen had given him, and it was tied around his waist in a conspicuous way.
"Hey, why doesn't anyone with a short eye come to provoke me? This belt of mine, even if your Majesty comes in person, you won't bow to the official!"
"Hey, no one is here to provoke me, how can I show its power?!"
Zhu Xiuyuan came out of the room and walked all the way to the door of the house.
As he walked, he muttered all the way. Judging from his face, he seemed to be very dissatisfied and sighed repeatedly.
Qiu Wen, who was following him, had a strange look on her face, her eyes fell on the back of her uncle, and the corners of her mouth gradually raised...
"Husband, wherever you go, I will go too..."
In front of the mansion, Zhu Xiuyuan had just stepped out of the threshold when his young lady, Dong Shuzhen, trotted over shouting.
Holding "General Li Hua" in his hand, he looked anxious, as if he would lose it if he was one step too late.
Xia Wu followed behind, holding two slender swords in her hands... It seemed that they were practicing swordplay just now.
"Madam, why are you here?"
Zhu Xiuyuan stopped after hearing this, turned around and looked at Dong Shuzhen, a faint black line appeared on his forehead.
If you don't want to pet your cat and practice your sword, why bother with him?
"It's so late, where are you going, husband? I'm going too, I'm going too."
Dong Shuzhen ran close to Zhu Xiuyuan and threw "General Li Hua" to Xia Wu.
The "General Li Hua" drew a parabola in the air, making him "meow" in fright. It was really scary.
Dong Shuzhen freed up her hands and hugged Zhu Xiuyuan's arm tightly, as if she would not let go unless Zhu Xiuyuan took her with him.
"Madam, my husband is going to the palace to attend court. You can't go. Be obedient and go back and stay well until I come back."
Zhu Xiuyuan touched her head and spoke in a coaxing tone.
"Ah, let's go to court!"
Dong Shuzhen was unhappy, her little face fell down, but she still didn't let go, still holding Zhu Xiuyuan's arm tightly.
"Go back and continue playing. When my husband comes back, I will bring you something delicious."
Zhu Xiuyuan continued to coax.
When I was in Jiangzhou, this trick had always worked, because at that time, Dong Shuzhen was "strongly supervised" by her father-in-law and could not go out casually.
So the things Zhu Xiuyuan brought back from outside were very exciting to her.
But, it's different now.
"No, no, if I need it, I can go out and buy it at any time."
Sure enough, this trick failed.
Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then felt relieved.
Yes, now Dong Shuzhen, without her father-in-law to intimidate her, she has already become "lawless"...
It's not easy to leave the house.
"Well, let's wait for two days when we are free, and my husband will take you out for fun. How about that?"
Zhu Xiuyuan could only place his hope on this move.
"Okay, husband, you are not allowed to regret it, and you are not allowed to shirk it and say you have forgotten it!"
"Well... no, my husband always keeps his word! Okay, madam, it's getting late, and His Majesty is still waiting in the palace..."
"Oh well……"
Dong Shuzhen let go of Zhu Xiuyuan's hand, reluctant to let go.
…
Jiangcheng Bofu is located on Xufu Street, Jiangning County, not far from the Imperial City.
Zhu Xiuyuan took Yan Dashan, followed several Jin Wu guards, and rode horses. It only took a cup of tea for everyone to arrive at the foot of the imperial city.
Entering from Chengtian Gate, passing through Duanmen, and entering Meridian Gate, under the leadership of the young eunuch, Zhu Xiuyuan and many civil and military officials walked to Fengtian Hall.
There were many civil and military officials, hundreds of them, most of whom Zhu Xiuyuan did not know.
He only recognized Li Zhong, the prime minister of the civil service, and Yang Tingyu, the official of Yushitai.
As for the generals, he only recognized King Zhongshan, the leader of the generals, and King Zhenze. What was strange was that Zhu Xiuyuan also saw the eldest son of Prince Zhenze, Liu Wencai.
So in the end, Zhu Xiuyuan mixed with King Zhenze and Liu Wencai.
"Brother Liu, are you here too?"
Zhu Xiuyuan was very curious. He was not only curious about Liu Wencai coming to attend the court meeting, but also curious about King Zhenze's family. Although they were princes stationed in other places, they could stay in Beijing for so long and come to attend the court meeting together, father and son...
"Haha, Brother Zhu, to tell you the truth, I came here to see the fun... Hehe, Zhang Ken was actually made from another country. It's unbelievable... Hey, Brother Zhu, how did you discover that in Shenleifang?
Zhang Ke’s?”
Liu Wencai also wore a court uniform. He had a thin figure, a thin face, and his neck was slightly tilted forward. He looked...a little funny.
But Zhu Xiuyuan had no intention of laughing at Liu Wencai, because Liu Wencai's words...
The Zhang Ke family certainly deserved their punishment, but the matter was such a big deal that Zhu Xiuyuan still felt a little guilty and didn't want to publicize it to the outside world——
The cause of this incident was just his "little plan" and "swatting flies"...
