Zhu Yijun said that he would give Gao Jingshi an explanation, and Gao Jingshi believed this. Regardless of the more than ten years of friendship between him and himself, and regardless of his role in the court and him, just saying that this matter involves the reputation of Princess Yongning, Zhu Yijun must investigate. Since he wants to investigate, After finding out, he naturally gave Gao a pragmatic explanation.
After all, Gao Pragmatic asked himself that the relationship between himself and Princess Yongning was originally innocent.
In Gao Pragmatic's view, although Princess Yongning is an "eldest princess", she is actually just a sixteen-year-old girl.
This girl may have really liked herself, but that was largely because she didn't see many normal young men at all. With a person like him, Gao Pragmatic, who has such a big name and is often praised by his emperor brother, it is normal for a young girl to have a romantic interest - isn't this the age where "puppy love" will often occur in later generations? It shows that this is human nature.
But Zhu Yaonao is a real little girl. He is very pragmatic but not really in his prime. It is simply impossible for him to be filled with admiration for a little girl just because she is pretty or has a gentle personality.
Zhu Yaoniao is indeed good-looking. To use an analogy that only time-travelers dare to make: even if she is sent to the Jiaofang Division, she must be a good candidate for the top oiran.
But beauty is not particularly important to Gao Pragmatic. He has seen many beautiful girls. Regardless of whether the beauties of later generations are natural or artificial, are there still so few beautiful ones?
And if I have to talk about beauty, in fact Huang Zhiting is the real natural beauty, and her ability to command troops should not appear in the same person at the same time. However, Gao Pragmatic did not develop to this point with Huang Zhiting just because of her beauty. .
However, Gao Pragmatic still admires her gentle personality. This is probably because of a comparison - such girls are rare in later generations, so that he feels that Huang Zhiting is quite gentle, let alone Zhu Yaoyu.
This kind of gentleness, to a certain extent, is almost submissive: if it were a girl from a later generation, how could she not go crazy if her mother promised a consumptive ghost? Who would be willing to stay a widow for the rest of his life without even having a bridal chamber? No matter how ordinary a girl is, she would not agree, let alone a truly golden and majestic princess.
But Gao Pragmatic only appreciates the "gentleness" itself, but does not appreciate such resignation. Even though it has been more than twenty years since he came to Ming Dynasty, and the original advanced idea of "everyone is equal" has been thrown out of the window, there are still some things that he can't understand.
Just like the situation of Princess Yongning, she is almost "outnumbered". Because of her status as a golden princess, I am afraid she will be pointed out behind her back and said to be an "unlucky person". Although she didn't seem to want to fight against fate, Gao Qingshi believed that this was just because she knew she couldn't fight, and it was definitely not because she didn't want to fight in her heart.
Speaking of which, Liu Xin is probably the only one who is in the exact opposite situation to her. Gao Pragmatic remembered that Liu Xin originally meant to be single for the rest of her life, because in her consciousness, only one-to-one love was called love.
But Liu Xin is a special case, because like herself, she is not from this era, and came to the Ming Dynasty with the memories and thoughts of her previous life.
As a man, Gao Qingshi didn't care about these problems when he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, because the social environment was more tolerant for him.
However, Liu Xin couldn't be indifferent, because women originally cared more about relationships and family. How difficult was it to accept that she suddenly changed from a world of free love to a world of arranged marriages, three wives and four concubines like the Ming Dynasty? At that time, she just said that she refused to marry, but in fact it was her last fight.
Therefore, when a woman travels back to ancient times, it is best to travel to the Christian world. The Ming Dynasty is really not a good destination.
As for the person who is thinking between Zhu Yaonao and Liu Xin, it is probably Huang Zhiting.
Huang Zhiting doesn't care about the problem of three wives and four concubines. This is due to the influence of the environment. Not long after Gao Jingshi revealed his true identity, she once expressed surprise that Gao Jingshi didn't have a girl with him, because in her world view, this was a very common thing.
But she also has some "resistance spirit". For example, when she fell in love with Gao Pragmatic, she knew that due to the difference between her and Gao Pragmatic's background, the hope of successfully marrying into the Gao family was very slim, but she never gave up. This is also A kind of resistance, a kind of unwillingness to admit defeat.
Not to mention, from this point of view, she does look like a general in charge of the army, trying every means to win.
In this comparison, among the three girls, the most strategic one is Huang Zhiting, the most independent one is Liu Xin, and the most pitiful one is Zhu Yaonao.
Being highly pragmatic is just rational, but not inhumane. Of course, it also produces compassion, so whenever I can help her, I am still willing to help.
But this kind of help seemed a little different when Zhu Yijun got involved.
Of course Gao Pragmatic could hear the meaning behind Zhu Yijun's words: As long as it can make Yao Lao happy, no matter what method you use, I can pretend that I haven't heard any gossip.
In other words... forget it, don't change it. Anyway, Gao Pragmatic felt that the emperor was hinting to him that if it didn't work, he would sell himself.
Fuck, am I making a living by selling my talent? What's the point of selling yourself?
What's the matter? In the original history, the reason why you were at odds with the civil service group was because of the dispute over the country. This time, because I prepared boss Li Shizhen to divulge the truth to the Queen and the Queen, you are not willing to be alone and plan to have a princess dispute? Damn it! Do you think I am too cautious in carrying out reforms and will die thoroughly?
Zhu Yijun saw Gao Jingxing with a bitter look on his face but remained silent. He probably felt that he had gone too far. He sighed, smiled bitterly, stretched out his claws and patted Gao Jingxing on the shoulder, and said: "Please be honest, I I don’t mean to embarrass you, there is really no other way.”
Anyway, there were only him and Gao Pragmatic in the room now, and he no longer acted like an emperor. He found a chair and sat down dejectedly. He scratched his head and said, "Originally, there were some people who said that I am not the emperor, even if I am just an ordinary person." Brother, I shouldn’t tell you, but if I don’t tell you, you won’t know the situation…”
Gao pragmatic rolled his eyes slightly, but remained silent.
Zhu Yijun smiled bitterly and said: "I asked the slaves in Changchun Palace. Since that incident, Yao Yu has not laughed a few times. Every time he laughs, it is because he heard the news about you."
Gao Jingshi was slightly surprised, but it was even more difficult for him to speak, so he had to remain silent, but his face looked a little better.
"She didn't believe in Buddhism originally. Even though the queen mother believed deeply, she used to just listen to the scriptures with her mother occasionally to follow her mother's wishes. But now she seems to really believe in it. She even works in the back hall of Changchun Palace. Come out to a small Buddhist room and go in often to pray."
"Not only did she worship the Buddha, she also didn't know where she got the news. I heard that you attach great importance to some Western monks, and you are looking for someone to understand those Western monks... Fortunately, there are few people in Beijing who understand, otherwise you would just I’m afraid I’ll have to build a chapel, like the one next to your white jade building.”
At this point, Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but explain: "Your Majesty, I don't believe in Catholicism. That chapel was built because the designer of the White Jade Tower was an Italian... Oh, he was from the ancient Qin Dynasty. At that time I just looked at the design drawings and didn’t ask too much about it, and later I found out that it was a chapel.”
"I don't care what you believe, you are still the Ming Wang of the Yellow Sect. Do you think I care?" Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "I just say these things to tell you that Yao Lao is probably...a bit stubborn. I am so stubborn." My brother didn't do his best in her marriage, so now he can only try to make up for it."
"I have been classmates with you for ten years, and I know that although you, like Xianggong Ao, are actually a person who is 'not afraid of changes in the sky, not afraid of the laws of the ancestors, and not compassionate about people's words', you are also a gentleman like Xianggong Ao. This matter It's really hard for you to ask you to help." Zhu Yijun sighed: "But I can't help it. I'm afraid that I don't understand Yao's thoughts. I also specifically asked the queen and Concubine De, and they both said that this kind of To solve the problem, the person who tied the bell must be the one who tied the bell. Only you can make Yao Lao happy."
Few people may understand that Concubine De is actually surnamed Zheng, and she was later named Concubine Zheng.
Of course, she is not a noble concubine yet, because she has not given birth to a prince yet. Currently, she only has one daughter, the newly born second daughter of the emperor, Zhu Xuanshu. Therefore, she has just been promoted from a Shu concubine to a virtuous concubine. But now it seems that she has begun to be favored.
But Gao Pragmatic didn't care much about this. Anyway, as long as the queen felt anxious and asked Li Shizhen to go to the doctor to deal with her physical problems, once she gave birth to the prince, everything else would be no big deal. After all, this is the Ming Dynasty. As long as the queen has a legitimate son, everyone else will have no chance.
Seizing a legitimate son does not exist in the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty. As for Zhu Di's difficulties, that is not a matter of seizing the direct line.
For this reason, the emperor almost had no choice but to ask for pragmatism. If Gao pragmatism didn't speak, it would be unreasonable.
So he sighed, helplessly stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and sat down on another chair next to the emperor in a very unruly manner, saying: "Your Majesty, if I really do this, it stands to reason... capital offense."
Zhu Yijun smiled bitterly and said: "I have said so, and you still say this? Do you want me to give you a gold book and an iron certificate before you will believe it?" ', and there are seven levels in total. ]
"Uh, how dare I?" Gao Pragmatic really didn't think about it, because as a rule, only ministers who were awarded titles for their great achievements had the opportunity to obtain the Ming Dynasty's golden books and iron coupons. Although he can't say that he has no merit, at least he has no title now. Even if Zhu Yijun is the emperor, he cannot violate this ancestral system, otherwise the two people will definitely become brothers in trouble and be sprayed with blood by the government and the public.
Zhu Yijun then said: "That's it, I will keep this golden book and iron coupon for you first. You will always have a chance to get it in the future, but certainly not because of this matter... As for the death penalty, who will decide this crime? Yes? It's me, it's me! I don't say you're guilty, and it's useless for others to say you go to heaven. Huh, I just want to see who can force me to kill my limbs."
Gao pragmatically said: "Don't, I don't want to see it."
However, Gao Pragmatic is quite sensitive to words, and he keenly discovered that Zhu Yijun's choice of words just now was very interesting. In the past, he would have said "self-destruction of the Great Wall" or "self-destruction of arms", but what he just said was "self-destruction of limbs".
Arms and limbs sound about the same "value". Anyway, as long as they "disable themselves", they are self-inflicted, but in fact they are very different!
The arms correspond to the thighs and humerus, and what are the limbs? Siblings are brothers!
Regardless of whether Zhu Yijun was just excited for a moment, at least what he said meant that in his eyes, Gao Pragmatic's identity had unknowingly changed.
Gao Pragmatic suspected that the root of this change might still be Princess Yongning.
He couldn't help but suspect that Zhu Yijun might have regarded him as his brother-in-law in his heart - although not only had this matter not been revealed, but even if he really had an affair with Princess Yongning, it would not be obvious to the public.
Ci'ao... I'm really going to become a legend. Can I even encounter this kind of thing? If I have the chance to travel back in time next time, should I dress up as someone like Zhang Changzong or Potemkin? Sleeping with the Queen is really...
Hey, what the hell was I thinking!
"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean." Gao Pingshi smiled bitterly and said, "I can think of something, but... how to put it, it is not certain whether this matter is what the Emperor wants. What if? If things don’t work out by then, the Emperor can’t blame me for not trying my best.”
"As long as you agree, I won't blame you whether it succeeds or not." Seeing that he agreed, Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief. But as soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly felt that the word "try your best" sounded so good. Awkward?
The more Zhu Yijun thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt, so he simply changed the subject and said, "Well, by the way, did you just want to ask me why I left that yellow... yellow thing about impeachment unpublished?"
Gao Pingshi didn't notice the problem with his words. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all..."
"Come on, come on." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "You can ask if you want. There are no outsiders here."
"Uh, Chen... it's a little strange." Gao Pragmatic finally said honestly.
"Humph, you also have times when it's dark under the lamp?" Zhu Yijun smiled slightly and raised his chin slightly: "Didn't I just say that I will always give you an explanation for this matter. But when it comes to explanation, just this It's useless to deal with the man surnamed Huang. Not to mention that it's meaningless to demote him to a foreigner. Even if you just bring out the imperial staff and kill him with the staff, it's useless. I think this guy is either just a pawn, or he's just a fool. It’s just being taken advantage of.”
Gao pragmatic understood now and asked: "So the emperor plans to lure the snake out of its hole?"
Zhu Yijun laughed and patted Gao Pragmatic's shoulder again: "You and I still have the best understanding. Yes, I am going to lure the snake out of the hole this time! I want to see who wants to harm you so much, and who has taken control of the palace. The news spread outside overnight! Hey, is it true that the palace is like a cat in a pen?"
