Early the next morning, Yuzao Palace.

In the yard, Zhu Xu waved the "dumbbells" made of stones with both hands, and sweating on his head, still not stopping, and huh and huh and huh and huh.

Li Jieyu sat under the eaves, cooking porridge while watching the two little guys in the cradle in front of him.

These two little guys are very energetic. They make trouble when others are resting, not to mention they make trouble when they are doing things.

The two little guys squeezed into a cradle, waved their hands, and looked at Li Jieyu with wide eyes.

Li Jieyu had a small spoon in his hand, and gently fed the spoiled rice porridge to the two little guys. From time to time, he looked up at Zhu Xu, with a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of sweetness.

In the past, she was also afraid. As soon as she entered the palace gate, the harem of the Ming Dynasty had always been terrifying, especially during the Tianqi period, how many people died inexplicably.

But now it is different. Her emperor's harem was clean and she had never suffered any grievances. She had another couple of children, and she felt a sense of happiness.

Zhu Xu exercised for a while, wiped the sweat and walked over, looked down at the two little guys, sat down on the other side with a smile, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea.

Li Jieyu tucked the quilt for the child and turned to Zhu Xu and said, "Emperor, Mrs. Fu has often entered the palace recently. She sat there for a short time and would give me some things. Do you want me to give me a gift or go to the door?"

Zhu Xu umshot and smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just treat you when I'm here to entertain you. I'll deal with the rest."

He knew very well what Fu Changzong meant. First, he was to prepare for leaving Beijing and consolidate the "emperor's heart", and second, he should be a sense of crisis, showing his existence, both internally and externally.

Li Jieyu responded softly and then said, "The Empress Dowager invites us to go to Cining Palace for dinner tomorrow night, and the old concubine will come."

Zhu Xu nodded, didn't care, and said, "Call Hai Lanzhu too."

Li Jieyu glanced at Zhu Xu and said, "Yes."

Hai Lanzhu was a little embarrassed in the palace. It was because her uncle didn’t love her and her grandmother didn’t love her. Zhu Xu rarely went to the night and preferred to be in Yuzao Palace.

Zhu Xu took a break for a while and was about to have dinner when Liu Shimin walked over quietly and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, there has been a change in the 'bribery case of the inner court'. Someone revealed that when Xiong Tingbi was released from prison, someone bribed Wei Zhongxian, and the money was issued from Huitong Trading."

Zhu Xu paused his hand and looked up at him.

Liu Shimin was not clear about these old cases and said: "Someone found evidence in the account books of Huitong Trading Bank, and Wei Zhongxian's remnants testified."

Liu Shimin didn't know these things, but Zhu Xu knew them very well.

When he was King Hui, he secretly exchanged some exchanges with Wei Zhongxian in order to save Xiong Tingbi, so naturally there was a need for money exchanges. He did not expect that such a long time had been exposed, and the finger was pointed at Huitong Trading Company very clearly, that is, Fu Tao. If Fu Tao fell, his father Fu Changzong would definitely not be able to sit still as the Minister of Revenue.

The cases of Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others were involved with Fu Changzong, and the methods of these people became more and more clever.

Zhu Xu glanced at Liu Shimin, picked up the bowl, and said, "I did this."

Liu Shimin was stunned and immediately realized that Huitong Trading Company belonged to the emperor, and this matter was mostly related to the emperor, but he didn't remember it for a moment.

"Your Majesty, what should I do now?" Liu Shimin asked. The case of Yang Lian and others is an ironclad case, and it is absolutely not allowed to be reversed. The purpose of this group of people is to either Yang Lian is acquitted or involve Fu Changzong's family!

The emperor would never allow the Fu family to be attacked and collapsed, not to mention that this was for him!

Zhu Xu calmly said, "What's going on outside?"

Liu Shimin said, "This matter is a bit strange. The investigation of the case should have been handled by the Ministry of Justice or the Anti-Corruption Bureau, but the complainant directly led to Dali Temple, and there was no response from Dali Temple."

Zhu Xu shook his head, looked disdainful, and said, "Since these people want to play, I will take him to play and keep an eye on me. I want to walk ahead of them every step. Some things are not easy to do without them."

Liu Shimin bowed slightly and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu waved his hand, then had a meal, and then teased the two little guys for a while before going to the imperial study room.

The cabinet became busy. Since it was about to recruit officials from all over the country to Beijing for a conference, preliminary preparations were indispensable. In addition to other things, it was so busy that it was not easy to touch the ground and had no spare time.

Zhou Yingqiu caught up with Fu Changzong that day. After hearing his advice, he finally thought it through. He knew that none of them, the "Imperial Party" people, would enter the cabinet, and his mentality gradually stabilized. While cooperating with the cabinet, he was preparing.

Bi Ziyan did not have the concerns and constraints of the six ministries, and his governance was smoother and bolder. He used to be cautious and hidden things he dared not touch, but this time he pushed them one by one without hesitation.

The cabinet changed almost overnight, strong, fierce and decisive. Not only the six ministers were not used to it, but even the officials of all sizes in the capital had a "wrong" feeling, and the officialdom of a stagnant pool began to stir up troubles.

Dali Temple.

In the backyard, Wu Chunfu saw someone go away, and there were three letters that had been opened on the table.

His face was as deep as water, his eyes kept flashing, and even his whole body was shaking.

The three letters on the table were written to Wei Zhongxian by him. He remembered that there were six letters in total. He thought they had been destroyed long ago, but he did not expect that they would fall into the hands of others!

Now, someone threatened him with a letter and asked him to retrieve the case of Yang Lian and others, and Yang Lian must be released without guilt!

Wu Chunfu knew very well the reason why Yang Lian and others were sentenced. It was the emperor's will. Without the emperor's will, he could not even retrial without him! At the same time, he also understood the power of these letters. In the case of Wei Zhongxian's rebellion, except for the few who surrendered, the other eunuchs were almost killed and executed! If he was involved in becoming an eunuchs, with his status, it would be the end of the family conspiracy extermination!

There are wolves in front and tigers behind, which is forcing Wu Chunfu into a dead end!

He sat down slowly, poured himself a glass of water with his hands trembling. He had a hard time, and his head was covered with cold sweat, falling down drop by drop, his face pale and his eyes were scared.

A middle-aged man in his thirties walked in, looked at Wu Chunfu's face, and his heart thumped, "Sir, what happened?"

There are now eighteen judges in Dali Temple, one of which is considered Wu Chunfu's confidant.

At this time, Wu Chunfu also wanted to discuss it with someone. He pushed the letter over in dismay, said a few simple words, and finally said, "You said, what should I do now?"

The middle-aged man was also a little stunned. He didn't expect that Wu Chunfu would have such an experience. He looked solemn and could not speak for a while.

This is a dead end, and there is no other way. What should I do? What can I do?

"Sir, do you have any other handles?" the middle-aged man asked cautiously.

Wu Chunfu looked at him and said hesitantly: "I was suppressed by Donglin and I was angry and turned to Wei Zhongxian. The main thing is to deal with the Donglin Party. There are no other ones. There should be three letters in their hands, all of which are discussing how to plot against the Donglin Party."

The middle-aged man nodded and was speechless.

This can already confirm that Wu Chunfu is an eunuch party. Once it is exposed, the family will be confiscated and the clan will be destroyed!

Wu Chunfu tried his best to calm down, but the executioner in front of him was sharpening the knife. How could he be quiet and involve his family?

After a while, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke and said, "Sir, maybe you only have one way to go!"

Wu Chunfu opened his eyes and said, "What's the way?"

The middle-aged man looked moved and said, "Telling to the emperor may not be able to survive, but at least his family can be safe."

Wu Chunfu's face changed drastically. If he confessed, he would add the "deception of the king and the emperor" and he would definitely die!

Wu Chunfu had a calm face and didn't say anything, and his heart was full of fear.

He didn't want to go either way before or after, because it was a dead end!

He wants to survive, he also wants an official position, he wants to be prosperous and prosperous until he grows old!

The middle-aged man looked at him and said in a stern voice, "Sir, this is your only way. If you don't walk, or walk slowly, you will be dead!"

Wu Chunfu glanced at him, frowned, and said calmly.

This incident happened too suddenly. He had to think calmly and find a way to survive and maintain wealth and prosperity. He must have it!

The middle-aged man looked at Wu Chunfu's expression and knew that his persuasion was useless. After thinking about it over and over again, he left. Wu Chunfu had to decide for himself.

At the same time, a strange strange wind broke out in the capital.

In a teahouse, a group of people approached each other in the corner, lowered their voices and were talking carefully.

"Have you heard that? It was not only Yang Dahong and others who bribed the inner court that year, but Fu Changzong also got involved..."

"Then hasn't Fu Changzong become a righteous man?"

"What kind of righteous man... don't change the topic. Yang Dahong and others were arrested, they were killed, and they were killed, but Fu Changzong was fine..."

"You mean, the emperor is protecting him? It's unreasonable. Yang Dahong is also the imperial tutor. It should be him who wants to protect him, right?"

"I heard that Fu Changzong may be related to Wei Zhongxian, and all the evidence was hidden by Wei Zhongxian, so he was fine..."

"You mean, Fu Changzong colluded with Wei Zhongxian? It is impossible. He is the emperor's uncle and has a high position and a powerful position. What reason is there to rebel?"

"It's not a rebellion, it's a collusion to make profits. Think about it, how big is the Fu family's industry? They are still trying their best to make money?"

"Then who is this Fu Changzong? Is he a righteous man? a traitor? or is he just a corrupt official?"

"I can't explain it clearly, but I probably have it!"

"What should I do? I heard not long ago that Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel was selling official positions and raising private individuals, and Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Works embezzled and bribed. What happened to the adults of the court?"

"If you really want to see this, I think Fu Changzong is in trouble and may be imprisoned!"

"Now, talk less and listen more so as not to cause trouble. Fu Changzong has been the Minister of Revenue for so many years and is also the emperor's uncle. Who knows how many confidants he has..."

"That's right, be careful about words..."
