Zhu Yijun looked at the dull-looking Gao Pragmatic with a smile, then looked at the two imperial girls sitting not far away, and saw that although they were wearing eunuch robes, their red faces looked particularly delicate and pretty. , secretly thinking that it's a pity that the ancestral system does not allow it, otherwise it would actually be good to let pragmatically be the brother-in-law.
Thinking of this, he suddenly straightened his face and said, "Why are you so stunned? Is this an injustice to you?"
This incident was so unexpected that Gao Pragmatic couldn't figure out Zhu Yijun's train of thought, so he could only smile bitterly, "This matter is true, but Your Majesty, the situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't know the identities of the two His Highnesses." .”
"Oh, you still have a point." Zhu Yijun snorted, "Why, if it weren't for my imperial sister, you can grab the hands of the two eldest girls who have not left the palace."
"This," Gao Pragmatic explained dryly, "the so-called change of management and power, urgent matters must be followed."
"Oh, then the matter is over." Zhu Yijun glared at him, "You think so well."
Gao pragmatically said that liberating women is very important. What kind of broken ethics is this? He just grabbed the handle when he was anxious to escape, and it was like treason. As for this idea, all men and women who go swimming in swimming pools in future generations will have their heads chopped off like me. I loved swimming so much back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to understand my hatred even if I chopped it into pieces.
When Zhu Yijun saw Gao Jingshi stopped talking, he thought he had scared him, and was about to comfort him when he heard the fourth princess Zhu Yao said, "Brother, didn't you say you were here to save him? You also said that he definitely didn't mean it that day, why now?" We need to be held accountable again. If you say this, my sister and I will have to live in the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for the rest of our lives."
The fourth princess, Zhu Yaonao, is only twelve years old this year. She rarely spoke before. Now her words are soft and waxy, but the meaning of her words is very clear, which makes Zhu Yijun a little difficult to answer.
Zhu Yijun may have been influenced by his father, Emperor Longqing, who attached great importance to family ties. He loved his younger brothers and sisters very much. It was impossible to be serious with such a half-year-old sister, so he had to cough and said to Gao Pragmatic, "Pragmatic, don't talk about me." I’m scaring you, but my mother will be very angry when she finds out about this disaster.”
Although he was still pretending to be serious when he spoke, because of what the fourth princess had just said, Gao Pragmatic had already reacted now. He knew that Zhu Yijun had tried his best to sneak out of the palace today but also came to find him. He must have come to discuss a solution, otherwise An imperial edict can make you choke, so what are you doing?
"I am terrified. I deserve death for my crime."
With these words, Zhu Yijun felt that it was enough, and immediately said, "Well, it's okay if you admit your guilt, but after all, this matter is still excusable, and death is not a problem. Even if the queen mother is angry, she probably has no intention of actually doing it." It’s going to kill you.”
Gao Pingshi smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, and thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yijun waved his hand, "If you want to thank me, don't rush me. How to handle this matter is the key."
Gao pragmatically opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say.
However, Zhu Yijun seemed to have made up his mind and said proudly, "After I learned the news yesterday, I thought hard and found a way." After saying that, he looked at the third princess Zhu Yao'e with a smile until her face turned red again. He continued to look at Gao Pragmatic with a smile.
Gao pragmatic was grossed out by him, and secretly thought to himself, what are you looking at? If you dare to tell me, Princess Shang, I will run away and go to sea tomorrow, believe it or not.
"I'm thinking that Yao'e is not young anymore. She will be fifteen after the New Year. She can consider finding a consort for her." Zhu Yijun said with a smile, "Pragmatic, I think this matter is very suitable for you to handle."
Gao Pangshi was so shocked that he even forgot to say "Chen" and opened his eyes wide "I"
"Yes, you caused the trouble. You didn't do anything yourself. You just watched me work hard. How embarrassed are you?" Zhu Yijun said matter-of-factly. "What's more, you know a lot of people. I want to help her find a prince-in-law. According to the rules, You can only read the description written by the person below. You can't even meet her in person. How to know whether it is good or bad is different for you. You can help her find it. You can carefully examine her character, talent, knowledge, and family background. Forget about family background. It's too good, but it's troublesome, and those officials are very annoying."
Gao Jingshi was stunned for a moment, "Well, what the emperor meant, I'm just looking for a replacement, someone good to be Princess Shang."
It's really not a good thing to have ups and downs in mood. With his high level of understanding, he almost said "scapegoat" smoothly.
Zhu Yijun was immersed in his own ingenious plan, but he didn't hear anything unusual. He said with great relief, "That's natural. You are not like me and can only stay in the palace. In addition to a lot of older ministers, you can only stay in the palace." You can still look like a man when you can see a bunch of eunuchs. You are outside the palace, and now you are considered to be outside the palace. There must be many young and handsome people you can see. Isn't it the most appropriate thing for you to do this?"
Gao Pinggong said it honestly, but the people I usually deal with are either the children of distinguished nobles or the children of high-ranking officials. Who has lost his mind, Princess Kenshang? Even if they are willing, this ancestral system won't.
Zhu Yijun saw that Gao Pragmatic had a troubled look on his face, and then straightened his face, "Why, you're not happy?"
"How dare I?" Gao Pingshi quickly organized the words in his mind and explained, "I just take care of you and don't have many contacts with some wise people. I can't seem to think of a suitable candidate for Princess Shang at the moment. This"
He specially emphasized the words "folk sages", but Zhu Yijun couldn't hear it.
However, His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand grandly, "Don't worry about this, I have already thought of an idea for you."
What, you still have this ability
Gao Pragmatic didn't dare to show his disbelief, but he still asked cautiously, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. I am stupid and I don't know what your Majesty's clever plan is."
Zhu Yijun said proudly, "I heard that you have a good reputation outside. You are also called Gao Longwen. You must have some respect among scholars."
Gao Pragmatic didn't dare to say anything, so he said modestly, "Well, maybe there's a little bit of this."
"It's easy to handle if you have it," Zhu Yijun said happily, "Anyway, you came to Beijing early and have many people under you. When the time comes, I will ask Dongchang to help you, and you will keep an eye on those who come to Beijing to participate in next spring. Come on, you Invite one, ask them to come to your home as a guest, and then examine them to see which of them have good conditions in other aspects, but most of them will not be able to pass the Jinshi exam."
When Zhu Yijun said this, he suddenly glanced at the third princess Zhu Yao'e guiltily and sighed, "Yao'e, don't blame the emperor. It's not that the emperor refuses to choose the one with the best knowledge for you. It's really the ancestral system."
At this time, the third princess Zhu Yao'e stood up very formally, bowed to Zhu Yijun, and said seriously, "Yao'e is deeply aware of the meaning of the emperor's care, but the ancestral system cannot be violated. Although Yao'e is ignorant, she is also clear. Please don’t do this, my royal brother. How dare Yao’e take this responsibility?”
Zhu Yijun sighed and nodded again, looking a little lonely. After a while, he turned to Gao Yingshi and said in a low and authentic voice, "Pragmatic, although you and I are monarchs and ministers, we are actually classmates. Today's matter is nothing." The righteousness of a monarch and his ministers, but for the sake of us being classmates for ten years, please do your best, "I" he said, with a hint of indescribable helplessness on his face.
Gao Pragmatic took three steps back and solemnly bowed his hands in a salute, "Pragmatic Dare not give your all."
