"Your Highness."

Cao Wenzhao quickly came to the palace gate, bowed slightly to Zhu Xu, and said, "Everything is as you expected, the person has been taken back."

Zhu Xu nodded, looked deep in the palace, took a secret breath, got off the carriage, and walked into the Daming Palace City step by step.

Cao Wenzhao arranged Zhang Heming behind him, and he followed Zhu Xu with a serious expression.

Until he was sure that far enough that no one would hear their conversation, Cao Wenzhao said in confusion, "Your Highness, why are you doing this today?"

Zhu Xu walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and smiled and said, "You want to ask, why did I appear after I have been hiding behind my back this time?"

Cao Wenzhao followed behind and said, "Yes, after today, many people will doubt that your highness will be on the head, and it will not be so easy to do things."

Zhu Xu sighed lightly and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. The adults in the court fought so hard that they would always involve us. This time it was an opportunity. In the name of the emperor's sister-in-law, they might be able to make them have some concerns."

Although Cao Wenzhao thought Zhu Xu's words made sense, he was still worried and said, "Your Highness, since we are on the spot, will we also be involved in the court struggle in the future?"

Zhu Xu refused to comment and said, "I don't have any threat to them yet. We are still the same, doing things in silence. The most important thing now is to expand Huitong Trading Bank, and then let Li Deyong's side, and then build channels at low prices for food."

Cao Wenzhao bowed and didn't ask again. He knew that Zhu Xu was not very sure, but the situation forced him to stand up.

From today on, everything will change.

As he walked, Zhu Xu was calculating and slowly walked towards Kunning Palace.

After a long time, Zhu Xu had just turned a palace gate. Liu Shimin suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Xu and bowed gently and said, "I have seen Your Highness Hui."

Zhu Xu was nervous at this moment, and he was stunned when he looked at Liu Shimin and said, "Eunuch Liu is waiting for me here?"

Liu Shimin bent, with no expression on his face, and said, "It was the Empress who asked me to wait for Your Highness here, and asked me to tell you that I must bite you to death. It was the Empress who told you to do this."

Zhu Xu nodded understandingly and said, "Okay, I have recorded it."

"I'll leave." Liu Shimin bowed again, turned around and left quickly.

Cao Wenzhao looked at Liu Shimin's back and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, is it trustworthy?"

Zhu Xu's lips curled up slightly and said, "This Eunuch Liu has changed a lot since he became a eunuch on the pen. However, whether you believe it or not, it will not affect my plan. Let's go, let's welcome the arrival of a storm."

However, Zhu Xu was quickly intercepted. Emperor Tianqi had moved to Jingyang Palace. Not only the emperor and the empress were there, but also Duke Zhang Guoji, King Xin Zhu Youjian, Chief Supervisor Ye Xianggao, Second Supervisor Han Du, and the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty were almost all there.

When Zhu Xu came to the imperial study room, he felt a solemn and cold air from afar.

Cao Wenzhao was worried, but he also knew that it was too late to say anything at this moment, so he could only look at Zhu Xu with a calm expression.

Zhu Xu rubbed his stiff face, took the account book from Cao Wenzhao, gritted his teeth, and had an indomitable momentum in his eyes, and walked towards the imperial study.

He knew that today was his most important exam. If he passed, he would truly gain a foothold in the Ming Dynasty. If he could pass, he would have only one outcome, that is, he would be forbidden for a lifetime!

Zhu Xu approached the door of the Imperial Study Room step by step, and his heart was like a drum beat.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon throne with a cold look on his face and looked straight out the window. Queen Zhang frowned and looked unhappy.

On both sides of the imperial table, Zhu Youjian, Zhang Guoji, Ye Xianggao, and Han Yu all bowed slightly to their positions on both sides, with a light on their sides, looking at Zhu Xu who was constantly approaching.

Zhu Xu crossed the threshold and walked in.

Zhu Youxiao frowned, expressionless. Queen Zhang seemed to be about to stand up, looked at Zhu Youxiao and sat back.

Zhu Youjian's expression was cold, as if he didn't want to look at Zhu Xu more, and he tilted his head.

Ye Xianggao looked at Zhu Xu, and his fat face rarely saw expressions, and Han Yu's eyes were bright and stern.

Zhu Xu took a secret breath, and suddenly walked in with a smile on his stiff face and said, "My brother has met the emperor, the emperor sister-in-law, the king Wang brother Xin, and the two adults."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Xu, stood up and said coldly: "I ask you, have you detained Zhang Heming, the Minister of War, without his own permission?"

Zhu Xu glanced at everyone present, and was about to speak, Queen Zhang snatched the words: "Emperor, King Hui is young and ignorant. Zhang Heming was the first to seize his concubine's father, so he should ask him for his crime first."

Zhu Youxiao frowned, Yu Guang glanced at Ye Xianggao and Han Du, and said to Zhu Xu with a serious look: "I ask you, and I will answer honestly!"

Queen Zhang pursed her lips, feeling anxious, and kept winking at Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu seemed not to see Queen Zhang's eyes, and said neatly, "Yes!"

Zhu Youxiao's face changed and he said gloomyly, "Do you know that even if it is me, you can't capture a second-rank official like him at will?"

Zhu Xu didn't blink anymore and said, "I know."

Zhu Youxiao's eyelids twitched, and his voice became more and more fierce, "Do you know what the consequences of such a serious crime?"

Zhu Xu looked around and said carelessly, "I know."

Looking at Zhu Xu's attitude, not only Zhu Youxiao was angry, but Zhu Youjian, Ye Xianggao and Han Yu also changed his expressions, and his eyes were staring straight at Zhu Xu. The Ming Dynasty prohibited the Grandmaster from holding any official positions, let alone control the vassal kings. If it is a slightest rule, it is a serious crime!

Zhang Guoji was frightened when he listened to Zhu Xu's words. He knew that the royal family was the most ruthless, especially the emperor, and he couldn't help but turn his head nervously to look at Empress Zhang.

Queen Zhang was extremely worried, but when she looked at Zhu Xu's appearance, she felt relaxed. She smiled at Zhang Guoji's mouth and nodded quietly.

Zhang Guoji was slightly stunned, paused, and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister believes that the matter should be explained clearly, and it is better to deal with it if it is a punishment or a punishment."

Ye Xianggao and Han Du looked at each other, and had no choice but to stand up and said, "I think so too?"

This time, without waiting for Zhu Youxiao to speak, Zhu Xu turned his head to look at the two of them with evil spirits and sneered: "The two adults really think so too?"

Ye Xianggao and Han Du turned to look at Zhu Xu, a little confused.

Zhu Youxiao's expression darkened and said coldly: "Let me clearly, otherwise the queen will not be able to protect you today!"

Zhu Xu said to Zhu Youxiao without any fear, "Brother, you have to hold on."

Zhu Youxiao frowned. He knew that Zhu Xu had many ghost ideas before, but he thought he knew very well. Looking at his expression today, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. He glanced at the chief assistant, the second assistant, and said colder: "Tell me."

Zhu Xu smiled slightly, just sneering.
