Chapter 251: The Night Meeting at the Prince’s Mansion (Part 1)

Zhu Xu changed into casual clothes and took Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao out of the palace.

Although the Forbidden City is in this capital, the temple is still too high after all, so what should ordinary people do?

There were people coming and going on the streets, laughter and joy.

Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back, and there was a rare time to relax. He slowly walked along the way, like wandering around.

Cao Huachun followed behind, but was very worried.

King Xin Zhu Youjian also has a straightforward temper. If he really refuses to surrender, he will destroy the court that Zhu Xu has worked hard to build, and even go far away from the Tianqi Dynasty, and will be out of control.

Cao Bianjiao was calm and observing from time to time, his eyes were vigilant.

Not far behind him, he followed the casual Jinyiwei and the imperial guards, quietly protected Zhu Xu layer by layer. At this time, no one dared to be careless.

This winter is not cold. Zhu Xu wrapped herself in a cotton jacket with a smile on his lips, and was not in a hurry to go to the palace to write.

"Sister, I want this, and this one..."

Not far away, two little girls were wrapped like rice dumplings and ran from this stall to that stall. Although they couldn't see their expressions clearly, they could tell how happy they were from their voices.

Zhu Xu was a little surprised and said, "Yes, this year is almost over."

After the Chinese New Year, the Ming Dynasty would change from the Age to Chongzhen. From the first year of Chongzhen, Zhu Xu truly became the emperor.

The same change of the era will be Huang Taiji from Liaodong.

When Zhu Xu thought of this, he suddenly felt aroused his heart and said, "By the way, did you say that Huang Taiji is going to attack Neikalka?"

Cao Huachun stepped forward and said, "Yes, news came from the Jinyiwei, Lin Danhan seemed to be interested in attacking him."

Zhu Xu's mouth moved and shook his head.

Although Lin Dankhan had ambitions, his vision was far from being too far away. He had not realized that the ambition of the Later Jin Dynasty would not stop at the Neikhalkha. Once the Neikhalkha was divided up by both sides, the Later Jin Dynasty and the Chahar tribe led by Lin Dankhan would directly meet.

One is determined to unify Mongolia and reappear Genghis Khan's great cause, and the other is determined to eliminate the threat from the right wing, which is a natural and unavoidable mortal enemy. Moreover, Lin Dankhan is already weak, and he still wants to help the enemy grow continuously!

"Okay, go back quickly, otherwise you will be miserable if your uncle finds out."

The little girl in a green cotton jacket pulled the little girl in pink and pulled her away from a pile of clay stalls.

"No, sister, I want that, that one looks good..."

Zhu Xu also laughed as he heard the laughter of the two little girls, and kept paced slowly with his hands behind his back. After a while, he said: "Transfer to Liaodong and ask them to find a way to put pressure on them so that Huang Taiji can't concentrate on attacking the Mongolian tribes."

Cao Huachun bowed and said, "I have written it down."

The Xinwang Mansion is not far away, so Zhu Xu is not in a hurry to go there.

At this moment, the palace of King Xin was brightly lit, but there were no one.

Zhu Youjian drank and drank in the side room, frowned, and looked helpless.

Princess Zhou came in from outside, sat down beside him, and whispered: "Prince, too much alcohol hurts your body, please be more modest."

Zhu Youjian had a strong ability to control himself, but he did not nod as usual, drank another drink, and said lightly: "Have everyone gone?"

Princess Zhou also knew what was happening outside and said cautiously and respectfully: "Well, we're all gone, but Lord Zhao and Lord Gao both hope that the prince will think twice and think about the country."

Zhu Youjian's brows tighter and he became silent.

He was extremely conflicted. On the one hand, he was too disappointed with Zhu Xu and acted freely, not listening to advice. Seeing the military and political situation of the Ming Dynasty day by day, he was powerless; on the other hand, he did not agree with the actions of the Donglin Party. If Zhu Xu did not agree, it would be a confrontation between the monarch and the ministers, which would lead the situation to become more corrupt and into the abyss and be out of control.

Princess Zhou looked at Zhu Youjian and advised him with some distress: "Prince, there is no such thing as God's Ancestor, as long as he does, why worry so much?"

The "Ancestor of God" in the mouth of Princess Zhou refers to Emperor Wanli. When Wanli was young, he lived in the deep palace to study, and the full power of the government was handed over to the chief minister Zhang Juzheng until he became an adult.

Zhu Youjian shook his head, straightened his waist, and sighed softly: "The new emperor is not the ancestor of the gods. He is stubborn and does not listen to others. The adults in Donglin are determined to be the country, but he does not listen at all. The cabinet is empty, the six ministries are useless, and the wars in the south are like fire... When the ancestor of the gods, there were few things in the country, but now it is difficult, but the emperor..."

Zhu Youjian wanted to speak but stopped, so he could only drink with his head down.

Wang Chengen stood behind Zhu Youjian, listening to him, and his face was filled with worry.

The center of this incident seems to be the emperor, but in fact it is the King of True. The Donglin Party is the King of True who is vigorously promoting the supervision of the country and assisting the government. No matter whether it succeeds or fails, King of True is afraid that there will be no good results.

After all, Zhang Juzheng has the best example!

Just as Princess Zhou was about to persuade him again, a butler hurriedly ran in and said anxiously, "Prince, the emperor is here and has entered the yard."

The three people in the side room all changed their faces slightly, and Zhu Youjian also woke up a lot of alcohol and stood up and said, "Follow me to welcome you."

Princess Zhou and Wang Chengen hurriedly followed, and at the same time they looked worried.

Zhu Youjian soon welcomed Zhu Xu in front of the main hall, bowed and said, "Since..."

"No need to be polite," Zhu Xu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I just have some time to spare. I remember that the emperor's mansion has not been here yet, so come and have a look."

No one would believe this sentence, let alone Zhu Youjian on Fengjianlang's mouth. He looked at Zhu Xu and said cautiously: "Then, please come in, the emperor."

Zhu Xu nodded and strode into the lobby.

He sat down in the upper seat and looked at it. Zhu Youjian was also a frugal person, but he did not see any luxury.

After the Princess Zhou gave her salute, she said goodbye. In the lobby, there were only five people left in Zhu Xu, Zhu Youjian, Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao and Wang Chengen.

After the servant served tea and was simple and polite, Zhu Xu looked at Zhu Youjian and said carefully, "Brother, what do you think?"

Zhu Youjian knew what Zhu Xu meant, but he pretended to be confused: "I don't know what the emperor asked, so please tell me."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhu Youjian's drunken face, and said calmly: "Well, Yang Lian and others' memorials want to make the emperor's brother regent, and I retreat to the deep palace to study."

Zhu Youjian's expression was calm and he said for a while: "Emperor, this matter is important and requires the dictatorship of the Emperor's Holy Heart."

Wang Chengen stood behind Zhu Youjian, lowered his head and lowered his eyes.

Dongchang gave him ten letters and asked him to take care of King Xin, and King Xin also knew about this matter.

Wang Chengen was worried and frightened. If Wang Xin could not give Zhu Xu a satisfactory answer tonight, he would be afraid that the misfortune and fortune would be unpredictable and life and death would be unpredictable.

Seeing that Zhu Youjian refused to say more, Zhu Xu knew that he should also be inclined to the Donglin Party. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Brother, do you think so, right?"

Zhu Youjian's face remained unchanged and he said slightly: "I dare not."

Zhu Xu's eyes were cold, staring at Zhu Youjian, and said, "Do you dare not? Or do you want to be a vassal immediately?"

Zhu Youjian's face suddenly changed. Not to mention his ambition for the Ming Dynasty in his heart, he could not leave at this moment of crisis!
