While walking, Zhang Bao told Xu Youzhen about Zhu Jianshen's performance in Qianqing Palace a few days ago.
Xu Youzhen was greatly moved.
Even before arriving at Qianqing Palace, the emotions were already brewing.
When passing by the cabinet duty room in the front palace.
Li Xian was waiting on the aisle, followed by Zhan Yang, Shang Ren and others.
Seeing Zhang Bao coming with Xu Youzhen, Li Xian and others immediately walked up.
"Censor of Xudu, you've had a hard time on this trip."
When Xu Youzhen saw Li Xian and others, she shouted that something was wrong. Her emotions had just reached their peak. If she kept talking nonsense and arguing with these people, she would never regain her emotions.
At that moment, Xu Youzhen's face drooped, and she said with a wry smile: "Oh, I haven't seen Li Fuchen for many days, I really miss him."
Li Xian glanced at Zhang Bao, and then said: "Eunuch Zhang, can I have a chat with the Xudu Censor first?"
Zhang Bao looked embarrassed, but he still nodded in agreement: "Then you two hurry up, His Majesty is waiting for you."
After saying that, he took the eunuchs around him and left.
Zhan Yang and Shang Ren also gathered around.
This made Xu Youzhen a little wary. She had no conflict with Li Xian, so there was no point in taking action as soon as she came back.
"Censor of Xudu, there is something I want to ask you to do." Li Xian said softly.
"Please ask me to do something." After hearing this, Xu Youzhen's face changed drastically. This must be a conspiracy. Seeing that Xu Youzhen has made great contributions in North Korea and has increased my reputation in the court, His Majesty takes great care of him, so he wants to use it for me. some means,
Is Li Xian afraid that I will threaten his position?
Li Xian nodded.
"I have just come back. I don't understand many things. I shouldn't be able to help Li Fuchen."
Li Xian chuckled lightly: "Only the Censor of Xudu can help with this matter. If the Censor of Xudu can handle this matter, I will discuss it with Yu Taibao and recommend you to be the Minister of Rites at the next court meeting. , and then, enter the cabinet."
After listening to Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen's heart moved.
Although His Majesty values himself, he is not in charge of the government now. Even if he is willing to let himself into the cabinet, it will take many years. But now Li Xian actually takes the initiative to recommend him, which is indeed a big temptation for Xu Youzhen.
But Xu Youzhen is not stupid either.
If the benefits are so great, the task must be very difficult.
"What's up?"
"Zongfan's matter?"
"You, Li Xian, I have no grievances with you, why did you harm me, this sect..." At this point, Xu Youzhen felt that her voice was a little louder, and she quickly lowered her voice and continued: "This sect matter..." , this matter is so big that you and I can discuss it, not to mention that Your Majesty has not yet married and is in charge, so you need to be even more cautious about this vassal, don’t you know?”
"Something happened again in Prince Ning's Mansion?" Shang Ren said, "The cabinet has no power to deal with this matter. Your Majesty must know about it, but we can't let His Majesty know about it. We can only rely on you, Xu Du Yushi."
"What's the point? You can't tell me. I can tell you. Forget it. Forget it. I'll leave first. Your Majesty is still waiting for me." After Xu Youzhen finished speaking, he passed over the three of them with a cold face.
Looking at Xu Youzhen's back without looking back, Li Xian shouted: "Censor Xu Du, do you still remember what happened that night?"
Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen stopped, then sighed and continued walking forward.
Zhang Bao was waiting for him in front.
"The censor of Xudu is unwilling to help, what should I do?" Shang Ren said softly.
"Don't worry, he will definitely come to me and we will find out tomorrow."
Li Xian is very confident.
The night he was talking about was the beginning of Xu Youzhen's rise.
It was that night that Li Xian informed Xu Youzhen of the news that the Emperor had returned, and asked Xu Youzhen to make the matter public at the court meeting. That time, Xu Youzhen performed very well, and the Empress Dowager valued her, and Her Majesty also had a profound impression of it. impression.
It is true that Xu Youzhen is smart, but Li Xian's moral practice is deeper. Except for being slightly inferior to Xu Youzhen in terms of kicking in doors, Xu Youzhen is not inferior to Xu Youzhen in other aspects. In terms of handling relations in the court, Xu Youzhen is far behind. .
The court of the Ming Dynasty is not something that Xu Youzhen can play around with now.
Xu Youzhen has not seen through Li Xian until now, but Li Xian has already figured out Xu Youzhen clearly.
In Li Xian's view, Xu Youzhen is a gambler and likes challenges.
Since he likes challenges, how could he miss this opportunity that he gave him.
But Xu Youzhen walked straight forward.
When Zhang Bao arrived, Zhang Bao asked, "Li Fuchen shouted, that night..."
"He is talking nonsense, don't pay attention to him, Eunuch Zhang, let's go see His Majesty as soon as possible."
Seeing that Xu Youzhen was not in a high mood, Zhang Bao couldn't ask any more questions, but he was muttering in his heart, what happened that night?
In the Palace of Qianqing.
Zhu Jianshen sat on the dragon collapse and waited quietly for Xu Youzhen.
In fact, after not seeing Xu Youzhen for such a long time, I really miss him.
No monarch would dislike a minister who was scolded or even beaten on behalf of the emperor, and who was also smart and capable, except of course those foolish emperors.
After a while, Zhang Bao took Xu Youzhen into the Qianqing Palace.
Xu Youzhen looked at Zhu Jianshen sitting on the dragon collapse.
Your Majesty, you seem to be more powerful.
He seems to have grown taller too.
This is the Majesty that I have longed for, the Majesty that I will fight for all my life, and the lifeblood of Lao Xu...
Thinking of her wandering life, Xu Youzhen's eyes instantly turned red.
As for the unrestrained happiness in North Korea, he didn't dare to think about it for fear of laughing out loud.
He walked forward quickly, then saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I, Xu Youzhen, bow to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty."
"The censor of Xudu has been granted a seat." Zhu Jianshen's voice was very gentle, as if summoning an ordinary minister.
This was Zhu Jianshen's intention.
Asking Zhang Bao to tell Xu Youzhen that he missed him very much was private, but his performance in the Palace of Qianqing was official, and it could be regarded as a way to beat Xu Youzhen.
In North Korea, although he did things well, he could not be said to be honest.
There is still some necessary beating.
Sure enough, Zhu Jianshen's calm words suddenly exploded in Xu Youzhen's heart.
Doesn't this father-in-law say that His Majesty misses me very much?
Why do you act so calm?
But after thinking about it, it all became clear.
This is the emperor's mind.
Although your Majesty is young, he is indeed experienced in the way of serving as a minister, and he is truly a wise king.
After Xu Youzhen stood up, a young eunuch also brought a chair.
Xu Youzhen sat down and took a breath.
I had to hold back the emotions I had just brewed. I originally wanted to shed a few tears in front of His Majesty, but now His Majesty doesn't want to accept the move, so I can't cry anymore.
As a minister, you still need to grasp your limits.
He sat at the bottom, Zhu Jianshen sat on top, and remained silent for a while.
Zhu Jianshen finally said: "This trip has been hard for Xu Du, the censor."
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, the emotions Xu Youzhen had just recovered suddenly burst out.
Tears flowed out.
"Your Majesty, it's not hard for me to do things for Your Majesty. It's not hard for me."
Zhu Jianshen looked at Xu Youzhen crying and knew that it was probably not an act.
There must be traces in the performance, but Xu Youzhen has no traces at all.
Zhu Jianshen thought well. At first Xu Youzhen had the idea of acting, but when she heard Zhu Jianshen's words, she couldn't stand it anymore.
"I know it in my heart, Xu Du Censor, pay attention to your emotions."
Xu Youzhen took out a handkerchief from her sleeves, wiped her tears, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have lived up to your Majesty's great trust and asked North Korea to donate soil, and also designed to kill the North Korean minister Shouyang, who was planning to cause rebellion."
Show credit first.
"I have read these from the mission album."
"I want to know something that is not written on the album."
Xu Youzhen looked confused and did not write, what did your Majesty mean.
"For example, you took Jin Yiwei to Lord Shouyang's mansion and stayed all night. What did you do? Or, for example, what was in the box that Lord Shouyang gave you every day, and what was in it, and what were you doing? After Lord Shouyang, that Lord Jincheng, and the two big boxes given to you by their king, what was in them? You also stayed in their palace for two days. During these two days, in What are you doing? These are the things I want to know."
"Your Majesty, I'm just doing this to deceive Lord Shouyang. That box contains all the gold and silver that North Korea gave to the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't take any of it. I took them all to the warehouse of the Ministry of Rites, waiting for Your Majesty to make a decision. ." Xu Youzhen said quickly. biquge.biz
I am really not greedy at all. As for what I did in the palace or what I did in Shouyang Jun's Mansion, it is not suitable for children and I cannot tell His Majesty.
"Don't be nervous. What you did in North Korea this time is indeed in line with my wishes. As an official, you must cherish yourself and don't follow the truth." Zhu Jianshen took back his words and reminded him. Xu Youzhen.
Xu Youzhen proved herself and was successful, but Zhu Jianshen was also afraid that Xu Youzhen would become arrogant and overturn his car, which would be a pity.
Zhu Ji had already informed Zhu Jianshen about these things.
Although Zhu Ji was embarrassed to say that Xu Youzhen stayed in the palace just to play with women, he expressed this meaning through the side.
Xu Youzhen knew the meaning of Zhu Jianshen's words, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I know that I will not let your Majesty down."
Zhu Jianshen nodded: "Xu Qing, we still have a long way to go as kings and ministers in the future. Work hard and become one of the best ministers in the Ming Dynasty, and I will become the king of ZTE."
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, Xu Youzhen stood up quickly, and then knelt down again: "Your Majesty, I will never give up, assist your Majesty, and become a great hero."
After saying that, Xu Youzhen knelt on the ground, and her heart was filled with turmoil. Your Majesty has great ambitions. Since you think so highly of me, Xu Youzhen, I, Xu Youzhen, must not disappoint Your Majesty.
"That's good, but I still want to remind you, don't waste your energy for women's gold and silver."
Xu Youzhen raised her head, full of surprise...
Who is it? Who is it? Your Majesty is still so young. Telling him those things is so disrespectful and shameless...
