Chapter 8 Embarrassment

"It's Your Highness," Cao Wenzhao said, "Do you want to tell my uncle?"

Zhu Xu touched his chin and shook his head and said, "Don't touch my uncle. We should try to keep our movements as hidden as possible and not be noticed."

Cao Wenzhao bowed slightly to show that he knew.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Suddenly, a little eunuch ran from a distance, shouting while running.

Zhu Xu was stunned and muttered: "Is it because the emperor's sister-in-law has something urgent to come to me?"

The little eunuch ran over and rushed directly to Zhu Xu.

"What's going on? Which prison are you? Who brought it?" Cao Wenzhao lifted the little eunuch with one hand and shouted coldly.

The little eunuch pale and said quickly: "Your Highness, your highness, I am Eunuch Cao's apprentice, he asked me to inform you."

Zhu Xu's expression moved and said, "Has Zhou Jianzong submitted a letter?"

"Yes, yes" the little eunuch was held and nodded repeatedly by Cao Wenzhao.

So, early the next morning, Zhu Xu hurried to Kunning Palace for a meal.

"Quick! Quick! Quick!"

Zhu Xu sat at the table, knocking on the table with both hands with chopsticks, like a naughty boy, urging Huan'er to keep busy on the other side.

Queen Zhang glared at Zhu Xu in anger and said, "Okay, don't you see Huan'er busy? So are you? Why did you run over early in the morning?"

Zhu Xu looked at Huan'er's fair little hands dispersing delicious food, dipping, soaking, and steaming slowly... She was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, but her eyes widened and shouted: "I want to eat pastries, I want to eat pastries..."

Huan'er straightened her waist, wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and turned her head to glar at Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu giggled, jumped off the stool, and said with great sincerity, "Come on, Sister Huan'er, I'll wipe it...Oh..."

"Sit honestly with me." Before Zhu Xu could touch Huan'er's pretty face, Queen Zhang held Zhu Xu's ears and pressed him onto the stool.

Zhu Xu smiled and rubbed his ears and said, "I'm also anxious, who made the things made by Sister Huan'er delicious?"

"You are right." Queen Zhang said angrily.

Huan'er also smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you this to eat first."

Before she could finish her words, Zhu Xu snatched it and swallowed it all in a hurry.

Queen Zhang quickly poured a cup of tea and said, "Eat slowly, I won't snatch it from you."

While drinking water, Zhu Xu said in a muddle, "Sister-in-law, just give Huan'er to me too..."

Queen Zhang didn't hear it clearly and looked at him and said, "Eat slowly, and talk about it after you finish eating."

Huan'er, who was beside her, had a pretty face and stared at Zhu Xu and said, "I won't go to Jinghuan Palace, I want to serve our empress."

Queen Zhang also reacted and smiled slightly and said, "You can give me anything else, Huan'er, don't think about it."

Zhu Xu Shunshui ate it, smashed her lips, and said with a pity: "Why are all the good ones from the emperor's sister-in-law?"

Queen Zhang laughed and said angrily: "You are so clever. You used to be thinking about the valuable things in my palace, but now you even think about people."

Zhu Xu was also a little embarrassed and looked at Queen Zhang and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you borrow it for a few days?"

"Okay, eat quickly," Queen Zhang said without giving him a chance to mess around, "Go back to stay after eating. The emperor is not awake yet, I have to go and see."

Zhu Xu's eyes turned and said, "Okay."

Huan'er was so angry that she stuffed the newly prepared pastries to him. Zhu Xu ate and took them, and as usual, he brought a small half of the pastries back to Jing Huan Palace.

"Try it, Sister Huan'er made it." Zhu Xu handed the box to Cao Wenzhao and said.

Cao Wenzhao's face was happy and said, "Thank you Your Highness."

Zhu Xu lay on the chair, sipped tea, and said slowly: "The emperor's brother was with the emperor's sister-in-law all day yesterday. I guess he hadn't seen Zhou Jianzong's memorial. Silijian... Wei Zhongxian should have known it. Tell Xiao Cao and let him stare. If the emperor's brother goes to the imperial study, come and report it."

"It's Your Highness," Cao Wenzhao looked ugly with a big and slutty look. He wiped his mouth and looked at Zhu Xu, and said in confusion: "Your Highness, is it really that important this time? I have never seen you so seriously."

Zhu Xu smiled slightly and did not explain much. He studied archaeology and did not study much history. But he remembered it very clearly. Once, the tutor told them to the tomb of the King of the Ming Tang Dynasty, "Wei Zhongxian really felt that he could defeat the powerful Qingliu, which started with the disposal of Zhou Jianzong."

He was particularly impressed by this sentence, so he could never give Wei Zhongxian the feeling of defeating the Qingliu in the court, otherwise he, who knew the temperament of Emperor Tianqi, would not be able to restrain him in the future, and with Keshi.

"I'll take a moment and call me when the time comes." Zhu Xu went to explore the wind early in the morning. Now he has eaten and drunk enough, and is sleepy.

"It's Your Highness." Cao Wenzhao quickly agreed and walked out with the box in his arms.

Zhu Xu slept until noon, stood at the door with sleepy eyes, looking at the sun at the hottest time, listening to Cao Huachun's explanation, he looked at Cao Huachun beside him with a strange look on his face and said, "What's going on? Say it again!"

Cao Huachun also looked a little embarrassed and said, "The few people in the Silijian are just as illiterate as Eunuch Wei. The Censor's memorial was told that they had to review it in person before they could be sent to the imperial court. Today, Liu Shimin happened to be on vacation, and others could not approve the money. Eunuch Wei has not come back yet, so the memorial of Censor Zhou has always been in the Silijian."

Zhu Xu looked at the sky with emotion. Since Emperor Yingzong, Silijian has a school that specializes in reading and reading for eunuchs. However, Wei Zhongxian and the few people around him were born in a wild way, and they didn't know a single big word. Without the credit of the eunuchs of Silijian, even the cabinet's memorials could not be given to the imperial court.

This is the current dilemma.

However, Silijian is known as a small cabinet, and Silijian is known as an eunuch in the inner court, so his power is sometimes more terrifying than the prime minister. So whether it is Zhang Juzheng, who was once extremely glorious, or Yan Song, Xu Jie, Gao Gong and other senior ministers who were later, if you want to accomplish anything, you must first win over the eunuch in the Silijian.

The most important point is that the eunuchs who are in charge of the Sili Supervisor often also serve as the admiral of the East Factory!

Why can Wei Zhongxian be able to suppress the six ministries and make the cabinet masters lean over and obey orders? Because both the East Factory and the Jinyiwei are in his hands. Anyone who is not convinced can find a way to send it to the Jinyiwei Investigation Prison. Whether it is guilty or not, entering the Jinyiwei Prison will be a death sentence!

Wei Zhongxian was in power for only four years, and the damage caused was incomparable throughout the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Xu felt emotionlessly, but his heart quickly turned, his mouth slightly raised, and he said to himself, "Well, then I will give you some eye drops in advance."

"Let's go to the imperial study room." Zhu Xu said.

"Your Highness, you are here just right, and the emperor is angry." As soon as Zhu Xu walked in, the eunuch outside the door walked over quickly and whispered.

Zhu Xu was stunned and said, "Who made the emperor angry?"

The eunuch looked at the gate of the imperial study room and whispered, "The emperor has studied the works of the ancestors, and he cannot understand many things. He is thinking about it. The emperor has just asked for a visit and was scolded by the emperor."
