"Your Highness,"

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly ran in from outside and said to Zhu Xu: "Zhou Yingqiu went to visit Ni Wenhuan and other old friends today."

Zhu Xu was stunned and said, "Has he publicly emerged?"

Cao Wenzhao had a hint of anger on his face and said, "It's Your Highness. He used the excuse that I went to Beijing for medical treatment a few days ago. The Ministry of Personnel has a record."

This time, Zhu Xu really looked at this dog-headed person. As a result, this shameful person, Lord Zhou, not only got rid of all the handle, but now he is also openly moving in the capital.

Cao Wenzhao looked at Zhu Xu's smile-smile face and said curiously, "Your Highness, Zhou Yingqiu is not a good person this year. He is doing anything to buy and sell officials, kill and set fire. How should we deal with him?"

Zhu Xu changed his position and said with a smile: "Since this old guy has something to do with Wei Zhongxian, it's not so easy for him to clean up. He's here to hear him."

When Cao Wenzhao saw this, he knew that his highness had another idea and immediately sent his ear to his mouth.

Zhu Xu whispered a few words in his ear, his eyes suddenly opened and said, "It's Your Highness, I'll make arrangements now."

Zhu Xu stretched out and felt sleepy, so he said to Yao Qingqing not far away: "Sister Qingqing, wake me up in an hour, I'll go to sleep for a while." After that, he walked towards the bedroom.

"It's Your Highness." Yao Qingqing agreed.

West of the city, Zhou Mansion.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhou Yingqiu who had returned from "Visiting Friends", and said with a happy look, "Master, these letters are of great use. We are not afraid of any threat now."

Zhou Yingqiu smiled faintly, with a calm and confident look on his face, and said, "In the future, I will open the door and refuse anyone. I have asked Jingshi Ni to write a letter on my behalf. I will go to see the emperor in a few days."

Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "That master, are you going to restart?"

Zhou Yingqiu seemed very passionate, straightened his chest and said, "Don't worry, save Eunuch Wei first and dig out the people behind him."

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly agreed and said, "Yes, don't worry, there are many vacant places in the court now. Your resumption will definitely be the position of Shangshu!"

Zhou Yingqiu shook his head secretly and sneered slightly. Shangshu was just a springboard for him. When Ye Xianggao was at the position of Ye Xianggao, Zhou Yingqiu could also sit!

"Master, I received a letter."

As the two were talking, the concierge walked over and said.

Mrs. Zhou's face changed suddenly, and she said coldly, "Who believed it? Who gave it?"

Zhou Yingqiu looked majestic and ignored Mrs. Zhou. He took it and opened it and looked at it. His face suddenly changed.

When Mrs. Zhou saw Zhou Yingqiu's expression, she immediately said, "Master, what's wrong?"

"The kidnappers are here to ask for the ransom."

Zhou Yingqiu's face seemed to swallow a fly that had just eaten shit, and it kept changing, and finally felt so embarrassing.

"Rank, what ransom?" Mrs. Zhou looked puzzled. She took the letter and saw it. She suddenly shouted: "Eunuch Wei was robbed. Why should he ask us to redeem..."

Zhou Yingqiu's expression changed and he suddenly shouted, "Shut up!"

Mrs. Zhou's heart trembled, her whole body trembled, she looked around, and then looked at Zhou Yingqiu pitifully.

Zhou Yingqiu stared at Mrs. Zhou with sharp eyes, but thoughts kept flashing in her heart.

He knew that the other party would not be as simple as sending a letter, and there were probably rumors flying outside.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the most taboo for eunuchs to interfere in politics, and after Emperor Yingzong, the most taboo for collusion between internal and external ministers. Especially now, no one who gets involved in Wei Zhongxian will have a good result!

Zhou Yingqiu thought for a long time but couldn't find a way. He said to the doorman, "Go outside and ask, what are the rumors."

"It's the master." The concierge agreed and quickly turned around and went out.

When Mrs. Zhou saw the doorman leave, she asked in a low voice, "Master, is it really important?"

"Study in the study." Zhou Yingqiu had a gloomy face and walked quickly towards the study. Mrs. Zhou also followed in fear.

Mrs. Zhou followed into the study and immediately asked, "Master, is this letter really that important?"

Zhou Yingqiu sat on the chair, his expression still looked terrifyingly cold.

Things are not as simple as a letter. Wei Zhongxian was kidnapped at his door, and Wei Zhongxian was guilty again. It is not an exaggeration to make a decision to make him a mistake. The most important thing is that the emperor probably cannot protect him. If the reopening, the chief minister will become a dream!

Zhou Yingqiu pondered for a while, and finally couldn't help but sigh, looking up at Mrs. Zhou and said, "This time, he set a dead end."

"Does it be dead?"

Mrs. Zhou's face was pale, she pulled Zhou Yingqiu's arm and said anxiously, "That master, let's recognize him and beg him to let you go. We will not stay in the capital, we will return to our hometown..."

Zhou Yingqiu listened to Mrs. Zhou's words and smiled bitterly. He didn't even know who the other party was, and even if he gave in, he didn't know who he was looking for?

"Master." The concierge knocked on the door outside.

"Come in." Zhou Yingqiu said with a firm body and full of energy.

The doorman pushed the door and bowed and said, "Master, it's been rumored outside that Eunuch Wei was kidnapped in our mansion, and Eunuch Wei came to secretly meet you with the emperor's will."

Zhou Yingqiu said indifferently: "I understand, you go."

"It's the master." He bowed outside the door, walked out, and closed the door.

The rumors are half true and half false, and I am afraid that most of the people in the Forbidden City have believed it.

Zhou Yingqiu looked at the concierge out, remained silent for a long time, and said to Mrs. Zhou: "From today, I will close my door to thank the guests."

Mrs. Zhou nodded in a hurry and said, "It's the master."

The door that the Zhou Mansion just opened was closed again.

"Have you heard of it? Wei Zhongxian sneaked back to the capital."

"It was the emperor's order. I heard that the emperor was going to restart Wei Yan..."

"I heard that they are conspiring to deal with the Donglin Party..."

This is the discussion in teahouses, wine shops and brothels in various places, and it soon spread throughout the capital.

East of the city, Zhou Mansion.

"What did you say?"

Zhou Jianzong slapped the teacup in his hand and stood up and shouted.

The two servants on the opposite side were frightened and said in a panic, "Master, it's all like this outside. I heard that the Zhou Mansion has closed the door to thank the guests, and no one has seen him."

Zhou Jianzong's face turned pale and gritted his teeth and said, "I knew that if the castrated thief was not eliminated for a day, there would be endless troubles!"

Zhou Jianzong stood there, his eyes flashing with fierce light, and suddenly he said hatefully, "Okay, I will contact my colleagues again. This time, Wei Yi's party will be wiped out!"

In Jinghuan Palace, Yao Qingqing looked at the hourglass. After the last bit, she pushed open Zhu Xu's door, looked at Zhu Xu, who was sleeping indecently, chuckled, and quickly whispered, "Your Highness, Your Highness, time is up."

Zhu Xu raised his waist and sat up. He was still sleepy and weak and said: "Prepare hot water, I want to take a shower, let Xiao Cao find out where the emperor is, and I want to see him."

"It's Your Highness."

Yao Qingqing is the most understanding and obedient.

Zhu Xu was very angry when she woke up. She stayed in bed for a long time before getting up. She soaked in the bathtub for a long time before she woke up.

Zhu Xu finished dressing, Cao Huachun immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the emperor is in the imperial study. Listening to the sound, the emperor is in a very good mood today."

Zhu Xu was stunned. Can the emperor be happy about such a big thing?

Zhu Xu tidied up his clothes and headed straight to the Imperial Study.

The people guarding the imperial study room were still those who seemed to have changed, and the relaxed freehand paintings of the past were completely gone.

The eunuchs and guards all looked at their noses and their hearts, and ignored Zhu Xu.

"My brother wishes you my brother."

Zhu Xu walked into the imperial study room and bowed like a fist.

When Zhu Youxiao saw it, he smiled and said, "You are here just right, let me get a shot."

"Okay."

Zhu Xu rolled up his sleeves and walked forward and came to the table. He saw very strange sculptures placed on the imperial table.

The two tigers, with a seal on their heads, looked extremely fierce, with fangs and claws, and were very strange.

Zhu Xu looked at Zhu Youxiao's side face without any displeasure. It was as if Wei Zhongxian was tied up and Zhou Yingqiu's rumors were not known at all?

Zhu Xu thought to himself and said, "Brother, why are you carving this? Have you never seen you carve animals before?"

Before Zhu Youxiao could speak, Liu Shimin came in, held the imperial edict, and bowed, "Report to the emperor, the decree has been drafted."

Zhu Youxiao was full of carving knives in his hands, and said without raising his head: "Nian", and then said to Zhu Xu, "Brother Emperor, you have helped me, I will take the knife now."

Liu Shimin glanced at Zhu Xu and said, "Abide by the order."

‘Imperial Order?’ Zhu Xu looked at Liu Shimin and waited curiously.

Liu Shimin raised his head, opened the imperial edict, and said in a sharp voice: "Gu Bingqian, loyal to the emperor and the country... He planned to be promoted to the Grand Secretary of Yingwu Palace and be given the title of Prince Taibao..."

Zhu Xu grinned as he heard this. Gu Bingqian, who had just been promoted to the Minister of Personnel, has now entered the cabinet.

After Liu Shimin finished reading it, he said, "Your Majesty, will you send it to the cabinet now?"

This is what the emperor means, but it must be communicated with the cabinet. The cabinet needs to understand the emperor's meaning, and then write a letter to the emperor, and then the emperor will issue it to the cabinet and promulgate it to the world.

"etc."
