Chapter 11 Subduing Cao Huachun
The queen was seriously ill and the emperor was unreliable. Zhu Youxiao could only wait for news about Wang Chengen in the royal palace.
Fortunately, Wang Chengen was very good at doing things. Just after dinner in the evening, Wang Chengen brought something bad or bad.
Although Wang Chengen did not explicitly say that he believed in Wang and wanted Cao Huachun to win over Cao Huachun, this man was extremely smart and could see Wang Chengen's true thoughts at a glance. However, he did not refuse or agree, and only said that he would leave the palace tomorrow and meet Zhu Youxiao at Tingtao Pavilion before making a decision.
It is a good thing to be able to talk about. It is definitely worth it to go on a small matter by yourself. If you really can pull Cao Huachun over, you will definitely be able to send a letter to the palace gate overnight and you will definitely go to the appointment tomorrow.
The next day, Zhu Youxiao got up early. Today, he saw Cao Huachun's important matters and no mistakes should be made. He ordered his left and right to put away his carriage and horses, only wearing a long literati gown, and took two guards and Wang Chengen to walk towards Tingtao Pavilion.
Tingtao Pavilion and the royal palace were separated by a street, and soon arrived. Zhu Youxiao ordered: "You two go to the door to watch, and come and report any changes immediately."
The two of them responded, found a seat at the teahouse opposite, and stared at each passing visitor.
As soon as he entered Tingtao Pavilion, Wang Chengen whispered: "Prince, Cao Huachun has arrived."
Zhu Youxiao looked in the direction Wang Chengen pointed, and saw a man sitting alone in a private room on the second floor drinking tea sips.
When the waiter saw someone coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him: "How many guests are there? What do you want to order?"
Zhu Youxiao said: "I came to the appointment, and I will naturally call you when I call you."
The waiter said: "Okay, okay, the guest officer will do it."
I followed the stairs to the second floor, lifted the curtain and walked in.
Cao Huachun looked up and saw that King Xin came as the appointment, bowed and said, "I'm paying homage to the prince. I'm really sorry to have to bother the prince today."
Zhu Youxiao arrived: "Xiao Wang has long admired his father-in-law, and he is indeed extraordinary when he sees it today."
Cao Huachun said: "If you don't dare to be a lie, you're going to kill a slave."
Zhu Youxiao did not go around and said, "Wang Chengen and his father-in-law discussed the matter yesterday. I wonder if Eunuch Cao was interested?"
Cao Huachun said: "I beg the prince to come today, just to ask him to agree to me. If the prince agrees, I will never complain about it."
Zhu Youjing said, "Eunuch Cao, even if I can do it, I will do my best."
Cao Huachun said yes, got up and walked to the door, leading a teenager in. The boy was very thin, shorter than a normal child, but his big eyes looked very clever.
Cao Huachun said: "Prince, this is Cao Huayu, the fifth brother of the slave. Now I can't take care of him in the palace. My parents at home have passed away early and there are very few relatives. I just want the prince to give him some food so that he can read a few words, so that the slave will have nothing to ask for."
Zhu Youxiao said: "This is easy to deal with. I just missed a postmate, so I just let him study with Mr. Wen Zhenmeng with me. Although the palace is not as good as the palace, it is not a problem to let this little brother eat and wear warmth."
Cao Huachun has been in the palace for many years and naturally knows Wen Zhenmeng's name. Thinking that his younger brother is also very talented, if he is a famous teacher like this, he will definitely be able to get a fame in the future.
Thinking of this, Cao Huachun really had nothing to say to the prince. He knelt on the ground and said, "From the future, Cao Huachun's life will be handed over to the prince. If you have anything to do, just give me an order."
Zhu Youjian was also happy to see that Cao Huachun had finally done it. He hurriedly stepped forward and helped Cao Huachun up and said, "Dadfather-in-law, please get up quickly, and I will rely more on my father-in-law in the future."
He ordered Wang Chengen to take the child to buy clothes and have another meal. Zhu Youxiao and Cao Huachun continued to discuss the matter.
Zhu Youjian said: "I went to the palace the day before yesterday, but the queen suddenly became bedridden. I wonder if Eunuch Cao knew the inside story."
Cao Huachun pulled the chair and sat directly beside Zhu Youjian. He whispered: "I really know some reason for this matter. Because it is of great importance, now only the Shangyi Prison monk's meal prison is allowed to enter and exit in the Queen's harem."
"Why is this? What exactly gave birth to the palace?" Zhu Youjian said anxiously.
Cao Huachun said: "As far as I know, the queen has been pregnant for three months. A few days ago, the queen felt a little sore from time to time, so the Holy Madam Feng found a few women who knew massage from outside the palace to send them to Kunning Palace. But who knew what the women had done when they massaged the queen. They left the palace and the queen gave birth."
"What? Why don't anyone check on such a big thing!" Zhu Youxiao said horrifiedly.
Cao Huachun smiled bitterly and said, "Now Wei Zhongxian is covering the sky in the palace, and the Holy Madam is in the throne to eat with him. Moreover, His Majesty has secretly ordered Na Ke to enter the palace from time to time, so who dares to mention it? Even the queen, the slave probably can only swallow this breath."
This is how I understand. No wonder this sister-in-law is bedridden. The hatred of killing her son is irreconcilable. In the future, the queen is afraid that Wei Zhongxianke will not only be disgusted with him, but will be eliminated soon.
It turns out that there are people in the court who are easy to be an official. Cao Huachun's words completely solved Zhu Youxiao's confusion, and it was really the key to knowing that the queen and Wei Zhongxian broke up.
I have a guilty conviction for privately seeing an official in an official position, and I will inevitably be exposed by Dongchang in such a place with many people. At that time, I am afraid that the disaster will be a big deal.
Zhu Youxiao said: "In the future, when we meet again, we will find places with sparse personal consumption. I will buy a small courtyard in the suburbs of the city, and when we meet, we will go there directly to avoid any more troubles."
Cao Huachun said: "The prince is still thoughtful. When he found a place, he asked the prince to find an opportunity to tell the slave. "
After agreeing on details of the meeting, Zhu Youxiao took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and placed them on the table.
"Eunuch Cao should not refuse first, listen to Xiao Wang's words." Seeing Cao Huachun, he wanted to refuse, Zhu Youxiao said. "I naturally know that Eunuch Cao is not a greedy person, but my father-in-law is inquiring about news in the palace and making friends with the officials of each palace, and it is inevitable that he will have some human nature. This money is also used by Xiao Wang, so my father-in-law should not refuse."
Unexpectedly, King Xin thought so thoughtful. It seems that he has followed the right master this time.
Cao Huachun said: "The slave will put it away. The slave will also check in the palace to see if he can find a few useful people to serve the prince."
"That's right. Come on, eat and eat." After the official said that, he ordered the waiter to bring the wine and food and chat while eating.
The more he said, the more he admired Zhu Youxiao. Although many words were straightforward, they made great sense in thinking.
Not long after eating, Wang Chengen and the child were back. He took a shower with the newly bought clothes. Although he was still very thin, he looked a lot more energetic.
It was already noon, and Cao Huachun was not good for him to leave the palace for too long. He told his younger brother to listen to the prince's orders in everything, and then stood up and said goodbye to the palace. He asked Wang Chengen to settle the accounts with the waiter and bring two guards with him. Zhu Youxiao also returned the same way.
