Sure enough, within a few days, the emperor's decree came down, and Empress Zhang and Zhu Xu also went to "congratulate".

The weather was still a little hot, and Zhu Xu couldn't help it. He walked around the palace and turned to Cao Wenzhao and said, "Go out of the palace and go for a walk."

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly followed and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, your Highness, has been very suspicious of you recently. You can't leave the palace at will."

Zhu Xu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, let's give him a golden cicada to escape, go and go back first."

After a while, a group of eunuchs entered Jinghuan Palace and soon came out again.

Cao Huachun, who was at the end, looked at the person in front of him and leaned closer to him and said, "Your Highness, you are crooked."

Zhu Xu quickly clamped his legs to the little eunuch below and whispered: "Let's walk more steadily."

The little eunuch was sweating all over his head, and agreed repeatedly, walking more and more cautiously.

After leaving the palace successfully, Zhu Xu sat in the carriage and sighed deeply.

The outsiders couldn't see the matter of canal transportation clearly, so they kept staring at Zhu Xu, but the king of Xin Zhu Youjian, who was watching coldly, saw the trick. It was even conjectured that several other businesses with the word "Hui" were also related to him, and they secretly sent people to follow him.

"Your Highness, this is not a solution. You have to find a way to let Your Highness King Xin dispel your doubts." Cao Wenzhao, who was sitting in front of the carriage, turned around and said while driving slowly.

Zhu Xu also frowned and thought to himself, "It's not that simple." Once this emperor brother becomes suspicious, with his personality, he will not dispel his doubts if Zhu Xu doesn't die."

However, Zhu Xu had no choice but to deal with him, the emperor. The most important thing is that Zhu Youjian is the future Emperor Chongzhen. Any means to use him may cause adverse effects and the loss will not be worth the cost.

Zhu Xu sighed deeply and forced himself to say, "It's okay. If he wants to keep an eye on it, let him keep an eye on it. If he can't catch the handle, he can't do anything to me."

Cao Wenzhao sat in front with a hesitant expression. He could understand His Highness Hui's fear of Luo Sigong, and also understood His Highness Hui's dislike and suppression of Wei Zhongxian, but he never knew why Zhu Xu was so afraid of King Xin, who was also a king of Yizi?

They are also the sons of the late emperor and the younger brother of the current emperor. Zhu Xu is far more favored than King Xin. What are they afraid of? Who are they who are older?

If Zhu Xu could know what Cao Wenzhao was thinking, he would probably tell that it was really for the older age!

Zhu Xu and the others braved the hot summer, but Zhao Nanxing's mansion was also burning to worry about the country and the people.

Zhao Nanxing sat in the main seat and Wang Ji accompanied him. This time, more people came, mainly involving the canal transportation.

"Sir," Huai, a fourth-rank official from Anfu stood and bowed, and said with a serious expression: "The progress of the Ministry of Works is too slow. It has been three days since then. There are only a hundred ships leaving the port in total, and more than one hundred ships heading north have been detained. If this continues, a major event will be necessary for the transportation of the canal!"

Others also agreed, and now they had no way to blame the Ministry of Works. They just wanted the Ministry of Works to end it quickly, so they could find a way to finish it and continue to make money as usual.

Zhao Nanxing personally went to see Zhong Yuzheng and felt embarrassed, and it was even more impossible to look for him again. He frowned and looked at the fourth-rank official and said, "Is there really no way for your Caoyuan yamen?"

The official smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, now there are no leaders in the canal transportation yamen, and there is a pile of loose sand. In addition, the Ministry of Works's imperial edict is too strict to hold the card, so we have no choice at all."

Zhao Nanxing's face darkened a little. He couldn't tell that these people simply wanted him to stand out. But the water in the canal transport was too deep. Although he forced Guan Yingzhen and others to resign recently, he also hurt the enemy for one thousand and suffered 800 damage. Now there are more and more memorable complaints in the court that impeach him, and even some parents hint that he could only be safe if he removes his armor and returns to the field.

Zhao Nanxing pondered for a while and said, "I will find a way to deal with it when I enter the palace tomorrow. You all go back."

A group of people looked at Zhao Nanxing and knew that they could not force them too much. After another compliment and obscure pressure, they left Zhao's mansion.

Zhao Nanxing and Wang Ji were left in the lobby. Both of them drank a sip of tea, remained silent for a moment, and eased the atmosphere.

"Did you find anything about that boat trip?" After a while, Zhao Nanxing looked at Wang Ji and asked.

Wang Ji shook his head slightly, then approached again and whispered: "Nothing was found, but I heard that some people in the palace had appeared."

Zhao Nanxing frowned and looked solemn: "You have found out, where is the exact person?"

Wang Jimulu pondered, and finally said uncertainly: "It's impossible to be sure, but someone vaguely remembers it, it seems to come out of the Empress Palace."

Zhao Nanxing's old face showed a gloomy look. What he most opposed was that the people in the palace intervened in matters outside the palace. Whether it was the emperor or the queen, in his opinion, they should follow the rules. If they exceeded the rules, they would not be forgiven and would need severe advice.

He thought for a long time and said, "I will mention this matter to the emperor after entering the palace. I will also have to go there with the Ministry of Revenue. If the canal transportation is truly settled, it must be approved by the Ministry of Revenue."

Wang Ji nodded, the canal transportation is now managed by the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Works is only responsible for the review and construction of ships. Even if the Ministry of Works is over, the Ministry of Revenue will have to finish it.

After Zhao Nanxing finished speaking, Wang Ji remained silent for a long time. Zhao Nanxing brows moved and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Wang Ji hesitated and said, "Sir, I have been impeaching me a lot recently. If I don't resign, I'm afraid..."

Zhao Nanxing's eyes showed a sharp look. This sharp look was hating, hating the party struggles in the court, and hating their enemies. These people were useless and shameless, and even despicable to drive all the straight ministers out of the court before they could give up!

But now he was also in the vortex, and his expression was unchanged and comforted: "Don't worry, don't get lost. The more you are at this time, the more you should keep calm."

Wang Ji nodded reluctantly, but still felt uneasy. According to the court practice, either he would leave on his own initiative or be driven off the stage. If he left on his own initiative, he would still be famous and could make a comeback in the future. Not only would he not be embarrassed, but he would also be the capital for his comeback. But if he was kicked out and his reputation was ruined, he would not have the opportunity to come back in the future, and he would also implicate his family and fall into history books.

Zhu Xu changed the carriage several times as usual, and then he appeared carefully at the back door of Fu's mansion.

Fu Changzong picked him up, and the two of them arrived at the secret room. Fu Changzong took a deep breath and said, "Why are you leaving the palace at this time?"

Zhu Xu looked at him and said with a strange expression, "Uncle, your face is not right? Have you been very busy recently?"

Fu Changzong shook his head slightly and said, "You probably don't know that from the six ministers and nine ministers to the cabinet, the fight has been very strong recently. The Chu party members were forced to resign and the resignation of the officials and the resignation of the officials by Donglin. Donglin also suffered huge pressure. It is estimated that many people will be demoted and returned home."

Zhu Xu was really powerless about the affairs of the court, and just listened to Fu Changzong's slow talk.

Fu Changzong glanced at Zhu Xu and continued: "This time, in addition to the Donglin Party and the Chu Party, Wei Guanghui and Gu Bingqian also formed a party for privacy, took the opportunity to exclude dissidents and expanded their power. There were many parties in the court, and there were many hills. Even those who were not in the court had a great impact and the storm was difficult to stop."

Zhu Xu vaguely heard something from Fu Changzong's words and quickly interrupted: "Tell me about the canal transportation."

Fu Changzong looked motionless and said, "If you want to protect the canal transportation, you can't handle it in the court by relying on me and Zhou Yingqiu alone."

Zhu Xu felt a headache. The court was the thing and people that Zhu Xu was most reluctant to touch, but he couldn't avoid it and could not avoid it.
