In the flower hall of the Hu Mansion, Hu Xi's voice was obviously accusatory, making the atmosphere a little stagnant.
Facing the slightly stern eyes of her old father-in-law, Zhu Yi gritted her teeth, but still nodded and said.
"My son-in-law understands."
Luo Tong and Ren Li, the former planned to imprison the emperor, while the latter entangled a large number of nobles and wanted to prevent the emperor from reorganizing the army. Although the severity of the matter was different, in essence, they both wanted to use the public opinion of the court to coerce the emperor into submission.
Needless to say, the fate of these two people, Luo Tong has been killed, and Ren Li is now imprisoned in prison, with no guarantee of survival.
This time, although Zhu Yi was incomparable to the first two in terms of reason and number of people, in the eyes of the emperor, there was probably no difference.
Hu Hui's eyes flashed, his expression became more severe, and he said.
"In this case, do you know that the Ministry of Rites has been delaying in submitting the ceremonial notes for the East Palace to leave the pavilion. This is not a deliberate delay, but the emperor intends to do so?"
Feeling the stern gaze of her old father-in-law, Zhu Yi subconsciously felt guilty and said.
"Know……"
"Now that you know it, you still plan to publish this memorial? And, are you still going to be with these nobles?"
Mr. Hu has become harsh and harsh at this moment.
After all, he is one of the top few civil servants. He has been in a high position for a long time. Although his voice is not high, his momentum is like thunder.
Zhu Yi gritted her teeth, nodded and said.
"Um……"
I saw Hu Hui's face getting colder and colder, and he patted the case with his old palm and said.
"Not only do you want to do this, but you also want to drag me along?"
"This...father-in-law, listen to me..."
At this point, Zhu Yi felt that he could no longer be a yes man, otherwise, today would be in vain. Taking a deep breath, he was about to speak.
However, he only said half a sentence when he saw Hu Hui, who was about to get angry, suddenly calmed down and said calmly.
"Okay, I agree!"
As he spoke, Hu Hui waved his hand, and the servant beside him immediately understood and quickly brought the pen and ink.
Zhu Yi stared blankly at her father-in-law, unfolded the memorial at hand, then picked up a pen and wrote her name at the end of the memorial, then took out a small seal from her sleeve and pressed it on. The scene went smoothly. It makes the young father-in-law feel a little unreal...
Seeing that the servant handed back the memorandum with the words "Young Master, Prince, Taishi, Minister of Rites, Hu Hui Tongzhu", Zhu Yi finally came to his senses, looked up at his old father-in-law in confusion, and asked hesitantly.
"Father-in-law, what are you..."
Hu Xi took a sip of tea, and the wrinkles on her forehead slowly opened her mouth, without raising her eyelids, and asked.
"What, you're not satisfied?"
"No, no, no, my father-in-law's support will never be forgotten by my son-in-law. However, my son-in-law thought that his father-in-law would advise him not to take risks, so..."
After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Yi still couldn't hold it back and asked tactfully.
Hu Xi glanced at him and said in a calm voice.
"I have reminded you of everything that needs to be reminded. I have warned you of everything that needs to be warned. You have also seen the fate of Luo Tong and Ren Li."
"You've done everything you need to do, but you still want to bet the entire Chengguo Palace. Is it useful for me to stop you? This memorial has been co-signed by so many mansions. Is it possible that if I don't co-sign, you won't go there? Has it been handed in?"
Zhu Yi smiled bitterly and shook her head.
This is of course impossible, even if we don't mention his indescribable certainty, as Hu Hui said, so many nobles are now looking at him, and it is no longer possible to retreat in the face of battle.
Seeing this situation, Hu Bi snorted lightly and said.
"Since the arrow is on the string and has to be fired, there is no point in hesitating and struggling. Anyway, I am just a co-signer of this memorial. If anything happens, it will be you, Duke Chengguo, who will be the first to bear the brunt. Since you insist on doing this, I will accompany you to make a fuss. Field, so what?"
"If something happens to the great waiter, I will go out of my way to show off my old face and go to the palace to beg Your Majesty to let Yueniang go."
Ah this...
Listening to what the old father-in-law said getting more and more outrageous, the bitter smile on Zhu Yi's face grew thicker.
By this time, if he still couldn't tell that Hu Hui was teasing him, he wouldn't need those ears anymore. He gently closed the memorial in his hand and Zhu Yi said hesitantly.
"My father-in-law, it's not like this. After all, it is right for the East Palace to leave the cabinet, and it is also something that has been discussed by the court for a long time. Even if your Majesty is dissatisfied, he will not do anything to Duke Chengguo because of this, right?"
I originally wanted to find out why Hu Hu agreed so readily.
However, how could Mr. Hu fail to see the little Jiujiu in Zhu Yi's heart? The old man leaned back on his chair and said with an indifferent expression.
"Whether it is possible or not is your own business. Besides, in addition to my in-laws, your family is also married to the British Duke. You have been in the Duke's Palace for many years, so you don't have any background. , in short, if something happens then, you can just think of your own solution."
Okay, this is about the British Duke again. Zhu Yi looked at the memorial in his hand and sighed. He should have known a long time ago that he couldn't defeat this father-in-law.
But no matter why, the matter was finally done. Although he didn't know how it happened, Zhu Yi was about to stand up and leave as he held a lot of memorials in his hand.
However, at this moment, Hu Hui's voice sounded again, seemingly casually.
"The imperial court will be in spring soon, and after the examination will be the spring hunt. If nothing else, this spring hunt is for the Oara envoy who is about to enter the capital, and I want to show my Ming Dynasty's strength in front of them. "
"This matter is arranged by the Ministry of Etiquette, but today I encountered a problem when drawing up the ritual instructions. Do you know what it is?"
Inexplicably, spring hunting was mentioned, and Zhu Yi was naturally confused.
However, the old father-in-law's words were handed over to him, so it was naturally impossible for him not to accept them, so he had to sit back and said honestly.
"My son-in-law doesn't know, please let your father-in-law clarify."
Then, he saw Hu Hui's eyes flashing, with a somewhat inexplicable meaning, and he spoke.
"If nothing else goes wrong, when Wala comes to Beijing this time, he will definitely ask to meet the Supreme Emperor and hunt in the spring in March. Since it is to show the strength of the Ming Dynasty, then Tianjia Hele will naturally be part of it."
"So, when the Ministry of Rites was drawing up the ritual notes today, one thing that has been undecided is whether to arrange the position of the Supreme Emperor in the ritual notes."
"Young Master, what do you think?"
Zhu Yi did not expect that Hu Xi would ask such a sensitive question. .
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. Moreover, the vigilance cultivated by his special role during this period made him alert almost immediately and began to think about why Hu Hui suddenly mentioned this matter at this time.
Could it be that you want to test him?
If so, then, what kind of performance should he perform in his current role?
