Chapter 142 Believe in the King's persuasion
Queen Zhang gave birth to a daughter, and some families were happy and some were sad.
Zhu Xu was happy with the group of people. Whether Queen Zhang gave birth to a man or a woman, the most important thing about him was that Queen Zhang could be safe.
Of course, I am happy that there are many people in this group, such as a group of concubines in the harem.
The more unhappy ones were, the long-awaited Zhu Youxiao and the civil and military officials of the court.
Queen Zhang had just given birth and could not see anyone. A big stone in Zhu Xu's heart was completely put down, and she returned to the palace to sleep peacefully.
The dinner naturally has to continue, but there are not many important people who are interested in participating.
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
Early the next morning, Zhu Xu's door was knocked and jingled.
Zhu Xu slept in the dark, got up and got angry, turned over and shouted, "Don't disturb me when I'm sleeping if it's a big deal!"
Yao Qingqing looked at Cao Wenzhao outside the door, Cao Huachun, hesitated and knocked again, and said softly, "Your Highness, Lord Jin Zhongshan left Beijing today."
Zhu Xu's head hurt even more as he heard it. He tossed and turned and gasped, but finally got up in great pain.
Almost all the washing and clothes were done with the help of Yao Qingqing. On the carriage leaving the palace, Zhu Xu was still drowsy and had a fight with eyelids.
When he arrived at the inn, Zhu Xu rubbed his face and forced himself to wake up.
"Your Highness."
As soon as he arrived at the inn, Kim Zhongsun ran out diligently and bowed and said, "Kim Zhongsun, have seen His Highness Hui!"
Zhu Xu reluctantly calmed himself down, lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and raised his hand and said, "Mr. Jin, don't be polite. Today, the King of Japan is here to see you off."
As he said that, he looked at it. There were big boxes, small boxes, and more than a dozen boxes. This trip, Lord Jin had a great harvest.
Kim Zhongsun walked forward two steps, looked around, and whispered, "Your Highness, what's going on with reinforcements..."
"Don't worry, sir," Zhu Xu rubbed his face and said, "In half a month, there will be the first wave of reinforcements. Now I'll wait for your king's arrangement."
Kim Zhongsun's expression flashed with joy, and then said, "Then, Your Highness, the comb, the red cannon and the warm greenhouse..."
Zhu Xu smiled brightly and said, "This takes time, less than a year, and it should be able to be used maturely."
Kim Zhongsun vaguely heard something, thought for a while, and said, "Your Highness, if you need it, we are willing to bear some of the money."
Zhu Xu nodded in embarrassment and said, "I am not hiding it from you. There is still a gap of one million taels."
Kim Zhongsun's expression changed. He looked at Zhu Xu seriously and bowed for a long time and said, "Your Highness, these boxes are worth about 500,000 taels. After I go back, I will order someone to send another 500,000 taels. I hope those can enter North Korea as soon as possible!"
Zhu Xu pondered and said reluctantly, "Okay, I will coordinate with the court yamen and transport the mezzanine to you first."
Kim Zhongsun bowed again and said, "The emperor is here to serve His Majesty the King of our country, and I am extremely grateful for your help!"
Zhu Xu's reserved jaw head said, "Well, you need to deal with reinforcements as soon as possible."
Kim Zhongsun said, "Don't worry, your highness!"
Zhu Xu comforted her a few more words of warm voice and arranged to see her off.
Kim Zhongshen came to Beijing with a lot of tributes. It is logical that he should have taken away more, but in fact, except for a carriage and dozens of followers, the others were sent out of the city by His Royal Highness Hui.
As soon as Zhu Xu saw Jin Zhongshan away, he would be drowsy when he lay on the wing. Queen Zhang's affairs had been under his heart for too long. Once this big stone left, he wanted to sleep with him for three days and three nights.
But this can only be a good wish. After Zhu Xu sent Jin Zhongshan, he ran to Kunning Palace again.
I didn’t see Queen Zhang last night, but I should be able to see her today.
"Your Highness, it's not convenient for the Empress to meet people." Wu Qing looked at Zhu Xu, pursed his lips and said softly.
Zhu Xu's face changed slightly and he said, "What's wrong? What happened to the emperor's sister-in-law?"
Wu Qing shook his head quickly and whispered: "Your Highness, the empress fainted after giving birth. The imperial physician diagnosed the empress that it could not have children again. Moreover, the princess was very weak, as if she had given birth prematurely."
Zhu Xu frowned when he heard this. Wu Qing's words were unclear, but it could still be heard that there was still a problem with Queen Zhang's childbirth this time. Neither Queen Zhang nor the little princess had any problems. It was just that this kind of problem was extremely sensitive, and even if it was him, Wu Qing would not be able to disclose it.
Zhu Xu did not see Queen Zhang, so he had to go back and wait until Queen Zhang's health improved and could come back when she saw someone.
As soon as Zhu Xu walked out of Kunning Palace, Liu Shimin was already waiting and bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, the emperor is welcome."
Zhu Xu was stunned and looked at Liu Shimin while walking.
This Eunuch Liu is very famous in history, belonging to the category of Qingzheng, and is not favored by Wei Zhongxian, and has been in and out of prison almost every time. But now, he is more like Zhu Youxiao’s shadow. He is in charge of the literati supervisor, but he is not visible or exposed.
Zhu Xu thought in his heart, and asked with a smile, "Eunuch Liu, what is the matter with the emperor looking for me?"
Liu Shimin hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, King Xin, just left the imperial study."
Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and immediately said, "Thank you, father-in-law."
Liu Shimin's expression remained unchanged and led Zhu Xu towards Jingyang Palace.
Zhu Xu looked at Jingyang Palace from afar, thinking about what Zhu Youjian was doing. Brother Xin Wang saw something about him and stared at him very tightly, and kept trying to "advise" him not to go astray.
Zhu Xu felt helpless, sighed inwardly, and followed Liu Shimin into the imperial study room.
Zhu Youxiao sat at the imperial table, looking in a bad mood. He looked up at Zhu Xu coming in and just greeted him lightly: "Come on, bring a stool for the emperor."
Zhu Xu was surprised. He had never had such treatment before. While approaching, he observed Zhu Youxiao's face and found that his face and eyes were filled with unconcealed disappointment and helplessness.
Zhu Xu felt even more confused. After thanking him for his kindness, he sat down on the stool on the left side of Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao stood up with his hands on the imperial table, but he almost fell down when he was unstable and hurriedly held the table before he stood firm.
Zhu Xu was startled, stood up and looked at his legs, and said, "Brother, your legs?"
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, picked up the crutch and said, "It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days. By the way, have you been to your princess, right?"
Zhu Xu frowned. How many days have passed? The leg has been half a year. He was puzzled and still responded with a smile: "I just went there, but I didn't see it."
Zhu Youxiao walked a few steps with a cane, his stiff face improved a little, and he reluctantly smiled: "Well, the queen is not in good health, you can go there in a few days."
Zhu Xu didn't say anything, watching him walk around, especially his left leg, wearing pants, unable to see clearly, but he limped and was obviously poisoned.
‘What kind of snake is it that has left the imperial physician helpless until now?’ Zhu Xu thought to himself.
