Chapter two hundred and seventy-ninth direct rejection
Ruan Dacheng stood up slowly, sighed, and said, "It's hard to say."
"Mr. Ruan, are you going to be anxious to death? Tell me quickly!"
King Zhu Huakui of Chu stomped his feet impatiently. He now wanted to hold a knife around Ruan Dacheng's neck and force him to say it quickly.
However, Ruan Dacheng deliberately sighed with embarrassment: "Well, since the Prince of Chu is going to force each other, Ruan dares not not answer, just tell the prince." As he said that, Ruan Dacheng ordered people to close the door of the guest room and ordered everyone not to get close to this place before sitting back.
At this time, the whole room was as dark as night, and he could not see his five fingers. However, this made King Zhu Huakui of Chu become more serious and felt that this must be a different hexagram. Moreover, he lived in Huguang since he was a child, where Taoism was prosperous and he believed in this kind of gossip study, so he did not doubt that Ruan Dacheng was making a fool of himself.
Ruan Dacheng whispered: "The hexagram says that my cousin will be the imperial concubine in the future!"
Imperial concubine! Even though King Zhu Huakui of Chu was mentally prepared, he was also trembling when he heard the news. If he hadn't been dissatisfied with the current emperor Zhu Youxiao and also liked this girl named Wei Min'er, he would have stood up long ago to curse Ruan Dacheng's rebelliousness.
"This world is already his. Could it be that this fairy-like woman also belongs to him?" King Zhu Huakui of Chu murmured hysterically, his palm couldn't help but clenched into a fist, and his teeth were biting loudly.
However, Ruan Dacheng heard the meaning of his words and the unwillingness in his heart. He couldn't help but smile and then asked: "Does the prince think that only by marrying His Majesty today can he be the imperial concubine?"
"Otherwise, what else can it be done? Your cousin is a great fortune." King Zhu Huakui of Chu said casually without thinking, but then he understood what Ruan Dacheng meant to ask this sentence, and asked coldly: "What do you mean? Could it be that there is a second emperor in the world?"
"I have only one emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and only one emperor, but who can guarantee that this emperor must be," Ruan Dacheng's tone became short and heavy in the middle of his speech: "Zhu Youxiao!"
At the same time, Ruan Dacheng asked again: "Can't the prince be the master of the world?"
"Let the orphan think about it again." This time, King Zhu Huakui of Chu did not slam the table excitedly. To be honest, when he thought that most of his property would be confiscated and the welfare of the vassal kings would be greatly reduced in the future and would even end up like King Zhu Changfeng of Gui. When he thought that Wei Min'er was now a person with the imperial concubine's fate, he was indeed a little moved.
But since ancient times, he has never thought about it this way for decades. Now, when he suddenly mentioned it, it is difficult to make a decision at will, so he can only say this.
Ruan Dacheng knew that he could not persuade him anymore, so he did not make any more embarrassment. Instead, he opened the door and personally sent King Zhu Huakui to leave.
...
"Your Majesty, I just got the news that two people suddenly visited Miss Wei's private house yesterday and today. One was an official Ding Youcheng named Ruan Dacheng, and the other was His Highness the King of Chu." At this time, Zhu Youxiao, who was feeding koi in the Forbidden City, also learned about Wei Min'er's recent situation from the East Factory.
Upon hearing this news, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing, thinking about when Wei Min'er had something to do with Ruan Dacheng, and even King Zhu Huakui of Chu: "I know, continue to observe secretly. If there are any abnormal actions related to them, report to me immediately."
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao turned around and returned to the palace, but at this time, Wang Chengen suddenly came to repay King Zhu Huakui for a visit.
Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised. It was lunch break at noon, but Zhu Huakui, the King of Chu, asked for a meeting at this time, and he didn't know what it was for.
It just so happened that Zhu Youxiao also wanted to ask why Zhu Huakui had a relationship with Wei Min'er. Although he did not think there were any political factors in this, Zhu Youxiao's curiosity was still very strong.
Seeing King Zhu Huakui walking in with a serious look on his face, he didn't dare to look up at him after saluting him. He was slightly sweaty on his forehead, but his fists were tightly pinched, as if he was even more nervous than when he first came to the palace to meet him. Zhu Youxiao's curiosity was even stronger, and he said:
"You and I are both of the same clan, so there is no need to be afraid of me. King Gui Zhu Chang's destruction of family traditions and violated the national law. In order for my Zhu family to last for a long time, I could only kill him in front of the people to serve as a warning to others." Zhu Youxiao casually comforted Zhu Huakui and asked him what he was doing to him.
"I want to ask Your Majesty to give me a marriage, but I want to take another room!"
Zhu Huakui gritted his teeth and raised what he thought in his heart to Zhu Youxiao.
It turned out that since the eighth year of Tianqi, in order to curb the large number of concubines of the vassal kings in various places, causing extravagance and increasing number of offspring, Zhu Youxiao issued an order to limit the number of concubines of the vassal kings in various places and increase management efforts on the grounds of strict family traditions, and took back the power of the clan's mansion. Anyone who wants to take a side house must get an imperial edict before he can get it.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao usually handed over this order to the Sili Supervisor. Many times, Zhu Youxiao also agreed that as long as the vassal kings pay a generous gift to the Sili Supervisor (actually paid him) it was allowed to pay the vassal kings again. This level was to make money from the vassal kings and increase their cost of taking concubines.
But Zhu Youxiao did not expect that Zhu Huakui, the King of Chu, would take the initiative to ask him for a room and look serious, which really surprised Zhu Youxiao.
However, Zhu Youxiao did not rush to agree, but asked with a smile: "Why did someone fall in love with this Jinling City just a few days later? Tell me, who do you want to take as a side room? Although my Zhu family, regardless of the family background of the woman, my virtues still need to be asked whether it is innocent or not."
King Zhu Huakui of Chu didn't know that Wei Min'er had already been a little ambiguous with His Majesty Zhu Youxiao. The reason why he asked Zhu Youxiao to marry directly was to not be able to win the beauty through rebellion. He didn't have time to think about whether Wei Min'er was the imperial concubine's life. He replied without thinking: "Go to Your Majesty, her name is Wei Min'er. She is the daughter of the former cabinet assistant Wei Pavilion. She is lonely and has a pure life experience. Please give it to Your Majesty."
"No!" Zhu Youxiao refused the words of King Zhu Huakui of Chu without thinking. Although he couldn't understand why King Zhu Huakui of Chu had contacted Wei Min'er, if he gave a woman who also had feelings to others, he would live in this world in vain.
King Zhu Huakui of Chu was like a lightning strike. He never expected that Zhu Youxiao would reject his request so decisively.
King Zhu Huakui of Chu couldn't help but feel anger in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Why, please let Your Majesty know clearly!"
"No need to ask anymore. You King Chu has dozens of concubines. You are still not satisfied and are still flirting with flowers and plants outside. You have lost all the faces of my Ming Zhu family!" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but scold him.
