It was just past noon. Zhao Xuanyi put on new clothes and walked out of the room. Shen Wei was already waiting outside and the carriage was ready. Zhao Xuanyi looked at Du Xinyu and gave Du Xinyu a smile, "Wait for me when I come back. I'll come back with you in the afternoon." you play!"
"Hmph! I didn't accompany anyone yesterday!" Du Xinyu said with a rising voice, and then took Aoxue and Hanshuang for a walk in the backyard!
"I'm angry again!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile, then walked out of the backyard with a serious look on his face and got on the carriage! Zhao Xuanyi did not go to Dali Temple or Wang Heming's home, but came to a small restaurant.
This small restaurant is not very big, with only six tables in total. Zhao Xuanyi walked in and found that there was not a single customer inside. After all, it was a year of great disaster. If he wanted to eat in a restaurant now, he would have to pay three times the usual price. !
The hotel that Zhao Xuanyi chose is relatively cheap in the capital, and it is the kind of hotel that people in the capital usually come to! After entering, Zhao Xuanyi, Shen Wei and Jinglan sat down!
When the waiter saw a guest coming, he hurriedly came over and said, "You three, what do you want to eat?"
Zhao Xuanyi looked at it, "There are still two of us who haven't arrived. Five of us will order six dishes, a braised chicken, braised fish, stewed meat, stir-fried cabbage, cold radish, and stir-fried fungus! Come on four Altar of wine!”
"Yes, wait a moment!" The waiter said and left!
Not long after, Wang Heming and Xu Guannan were seen arriving at the hotel. The three of them stood up in a hurry, "Brother Wang, sister-in-law, you are here!"
Wang Heming walked over with a smile, came to Zhao Xuanyi, and sat down with Xu Guannan, "Brother, let me treat you to this drink today!"
"Don't worry, I'm just here to kill you today. I've ordered all six dishes, and you'll get the money soon!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"Sure, don't be polite to me today, let's have a good drink!" Wang Heming said with a smile. Without Zhao Xuanyi this time, neither of them might be able to come back, so Wang Heming was very happy.
"Master Zhao, that...?" Just as Xu Guannan spoke, Zhao Xuanyi suddenly waved his hand to signal Xu Guannan to stop talking! Then he turned and glanced at Shen Wei and Jinglan. They immediately understood and stood up separately. One walked to the door and the other to the other side of the hall to prevent anyone from eavesdropping!
Seeing that both of them went to guard, Zhao Xuanyi said, "First of all, I apologize to Miss Xu. I didn't give your letter to the emperor!"
"What? You didn't...?" Before Xu Guannan could finish speaking, he was caught by Wang Heming. "Guannan, don't get excited. Brother has always been thorough in doing things. There must be a reason why he didn't hand it over to the emperor! You listen first Listen to what he says!"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled apologetically, "I have thought about it. If it is enough, I will give the letter to the emperor. The final result must be that the prince will find a scapegoat and shoulder everything. In the end, even if the money for disaster relief is recovered, , there couldn’t be much left! So I gave the letter to another person!”
"Who?" Xu Guannan asked nervously.
"Princess!"
"The eldest princess?"
"Yes, Brother Wang should know that the eldest princess is second only to the emperor in making decisions, and far more powerful than the prince. After reading the letter, the eldest princess promised me that she would personally talk to the prince and give all the 10 million taels If you want to come out, I will personally send it to Henan and spend it all on the people!"
"Moreover, the eldest princess will teach them a lesson for those corrupt officials that your father wrote about. Miss Xu, don't worry. In less than ten days, these corrupt officials will definitely be punished. You can just watch the show then!" Zhao Xuanyi said softly.
"Then...Prince...?" Xu Guannan asked very unwillingly, both eyes were red!
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he sighed and said nothing else!
Wang Heming coughed lightly, "Guan Nan, there are some things that you don't know if you are not in the government and the public. The prince's status is too special, and you can't touch him on this matter!"
Zhao Xuanyi continued, "Furthermore, your father's wish is to spend this money on the people. Now the eldest princess can get the silver back. I will personally escort it. Then Miss Xu will personally see how the money is spent on the people. All this will be done." It’s for the people, it’s the same as your father’s hope, isn’t it?”
"To be honest, I also look down on the prince's style. But speaking of words, although I am the Protector of the Country, my status cannot shake the prince's status at all! After all, he is a royal family! I hope Miss Xu understands!"
After hearing this, Xu Guannan wiped his eyes and took a deep breath, "So there is really no other way?"
A simple question made both Zhao Xuanyi and Wang Heming lower their heads in shame. "For the time being... there is no way! But don't worry, Miss Xu, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely punish... him!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
Xu Guannan sniffed, then smiled, "Is this... the royal family? Is this the government and the opposition? Is this the Ming Dynasty? It's really... disgusting!"
"Guannan! Be careful what you say!" Wang Heming said.
"What? My father was killed, and I can't even say a word? Go outside and see, is the sky black or white today?" Xu Guannan cried loudly!
Wang Heming stood up in a hurry and held Xu Guannan in his arms. "The uncle's death has not been found out yet. Although it is related to this incident, it is not sure whether it was the prince who killed him. Don't worry, I will definitely find out. Don't be sad." , I will help you get revenge!" Wang Heming comforted softly!
Xu Guannan lay in Wang Heming's arms and cried loudly, unable to say a word. Wang Heming looked at Zhao Xuanyi and shook his head apologetically, "Brother, it's up to you to drink some other time! I want to send Guannan home!"
"Understood, no problem! Walk slowly!" Zhao Xuanyi stood up and said.
Wang Heming picked up Xu Guannan, who was still in pain, turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
Shen Wei and Jinglan came back and sat on chairs. Shen Wei patted Zhao Xuanyi on the shoulder, "I don't blame you for this! Don't think too much!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded lightly. There was not much time. The waiter brought up a plate of stewed chicken. Zhao Xuanyi picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat when he suddenly discovered an important problem. "Damn it! Wang Heming didn't pay!"
"..." Shen Wei, Jinglan!
At the same time, in the palace, Zhu Zhelin came to the door of Mingyue Palace with his eunuchs. Nan Zhu and Xi Lan stood at the door and immediately bowed and saluted, "See you, Your Highness!"
"Get back on your feet!" Zhu Zhelin waved and said, "My aunt asked me to come to Mingyue Palace!"
"The eldest princess has been waiting for a long time!" After Nanzhu finished speaking, he looked at the eunuch aside and frowned slightly, "I'm sorry, the eldest princess doesn't like eunuchs entering Mingyue Palace. Father-in-law, please wait outside!"
"Yes!" The little eunuch naturally knows the rules of Mingyue Palace. There is not a single eunuch in the entire palace. Except for these four maids, there are usually no other maids!
Zhu Zhelin followed Nan Zhu into the hall of Mingyue Palace. He saw Zhu Yuejun sitting on a chair and reading some memorials in his hand. Zhu Zhelin hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Zhelin meets the eldest princess! Wish you the eldest princess!"
Zhu Yuejun did not speak, but threw the letter directly to the ground, "Read it for yourself!" He threw these three words to Zhu Zhelin coldly!
Zhu Zhelin hurriedly used his knees as his feet, took two steps forward, picked up the letter, and after reading it carefully, the veins on his forehead kept beating, his breathing changed slightly, and there was sweat on his forehead. He raised his head slightly to peek at Zhu Yuejun, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. , didn’t say a word!
"Have you seen it?" Zhu Yuejun asked.
"seen it already!"
Zhu Yuejun threw the teacup in his hand to the ground. The crisp sound frightened Zhu Zhelin so much that his face changed. Zhu Zhelin hurriedly knocked his head to the ground, "Auntie, I really don't know everything about this matter. The people below are not doing things well. I didn't expect it." I actually embezzled so much, what about me...?"
"You still dare to quibble?" Zhu Yuejun shouted coldly, "You are greedy for money and power and you think I don't know about it? Do you think that my Moon Guard is as incompetent as your father's personal soldiers?"
"Auntie, Zhelin knows he was wrong! Don't tell your father about this!" Zhu Zhelin said loudly.
Zhu Yuejun shook his head, stood up from the chair, walked to Zhu Zhelin, pulled Zhu Zhelin up, and stared at Zhu Zhelin, "You still don't know where you went wrong!"
A slap hit Zhu Zhelin on the face. Zhu Zhelin was stunned for a moment. He took two steps back and looked at Zhu Yuejun in shock. Zhu Yuejun waited for Zhu Zhelin with cold eyes: "If you tell me where you went wrong today, I can still forgive you. If you can't tell me, I can forgive you." , I will serve you with my military staff!”
"This...?" Zhu Zhelin thought carefully, what does the eldest princess mean? Is it possible to blame me for not having money? What else could it be?
"You still can't think of it, can you?" Zhu Yuejun shouted sharply!
Zhu Zhelin understood instantly and immediately knelt on the ground, "Zhelin was wrong and shouldn't have sent people to protect the prince!"
After Zhu Yuejun heard this, he calmed down and said, "Zhu Zhelin, remember, there is only one Protector of the Country. With him here, our royal family can sit back and relax every night. Without him, the uncle's rebellion will be successful this time. If you dare to hurt him at all in the future, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"
"Yes! Zhelin knows! I will never argue with the Protector again!" Zhu Zhelin lowered his head and said.
"I will keep this letter for you. If you dare to do such a sinful thing in the future, you will never be forgiven lightly!"
"Thank you, Princess! Zhelin will keep it in mind!"
"No matter what method you use, I will collect 10,000,000 taels for me within five days, hand it over to the Protector of the Country, and send it to Henan for disaster relief. You can handle your own people by yourself. You don't need me to teach you, right?" Zhu Yuejun asked coldly.
"No! Zhelin understands!" Zhu Zhelin nodded.
"Stand back, and be more careful when doing things in the future!"
"Yes! Zhelin excuses himself!" After Zhu Zhelin finished speaking, he stood up slowly, took three steps back, and then walked out of Mingyue Palace!
After leaving, the little eunuch saw the redness and swelling on Zhu Zhelin's face and was very surprised: "Master, are you here?"
"Shut up! Get Zhao Xuanli and the people below. They are a bunch of rubbish. They can't handle this. They are a bunch of rubbish!" Zhu Zhelin shouted loudly.
"Yes! I'll go right now!" The little eunuch said and left in a hurry!
