Chapter 551: What is the Emperor thinking

Zhu Gaochi said again: "If the mother is safe, my son will feel at ease."

Queen Xu smiled and said, "You go, you're busy. This morning, I'm afraid there are still many things to do, but looking at you, you seem to have not been asleep for a night, your eyes are red, so go back and rest."

The more he said this, the more anxious Zhu Gaochi felt. The mother did not mention anything about what happened last night. Could it be that she really didn't know what happened outside?

But after thinking about it again, I felt that it was impossible. The movement was so great and the mother got up so early. If she didn't know about this, that would be strange.

But since you know, why not ask?

The more he didn't ask, the more uneasy Zhu Gaochi felt. Now that his mother had issued an order to expel guests, he was even more uneasy.

After all, he is a son. Not to mention the reliance on his father's breath, this mother is his own mother, but also the mother of King Zhao. Although Empress Xu usually ignores political affairs, once she becomes angry, or has any prejudice against herself, her situation will be very bad.

He sighed in his heart, but he was a little unwilling to let go, but he didn't dare to open the skylight and say something bright. After thinking about it, he said, "In two months, it will be the birth of the mother. At that time, the father was afraid that he would still be in Peiping and could not be with his mother. The son had already thought about it. At that time, the son and Zhan Ji entered the palace to celebrate the birthday of the mother, but he was afraid of disturbing the mother, and he also asked the mother what she meant."

Empress Xu looked at Zhu Gaochi deeply, her face still calm, and said, "Oh, it's just a birthday, but it's okay. If you do it too much, the censor wants to say, it's better to keep everything simple. As for you, you have to share your father's worries, so you don't have to be with him anymore. Zhan Ji..." Speaking of this grandson, Empress Xu showed a little kindness after all, and said, "Let him come here, I don't know if he has made any progress recently. I heard that he is good at studying, and even Xie Aiqing praised him for his intelligence, right?"

Zhu Gaochi complained in his heart. After all, it was all about the family's length and the details. What was the mother's thought?

He had no choice but to respond.

Empress Xu was already showing her tiredness: "You go down, your feelings. I already know. I got up early and felt a little tired. It seems that I have to take another nap."

Speaking of this, Zhu Gaochi had to give up.

After coming out of Qianning Palace, he was uneasy and lost his mind for a moment. He carefully sorted out his comments with his mother and clearly felt that the deeper the mother thought about him. The more he was uneasy he became. With his nature, he was already timid and cautious, and once he became suspicious about something, he became very worried.

Finally, he shook his head, sighed bitterly, and left the palace.

"Empress, I have indeed left the capital. His Highness, King Zhao and the Marquis of Haigong are both safe. With the escort of the Shenji Guard, it is said that he is going to Peking."

"Each battalion also returned to the camp, and the streets were in a mess. However, the general general of the Central Army, Zhu Neng, was worried and angry, and made a memorial to apologize, one was sent to Peking and the other was given to the Empress."

Empress Xu was teaching the young princess Hong. She personally embroidered the needle while biting the thread, as dignified as a woman in the boudoir. When she heard the apology and sent it to Peking and here, her beautiful eyebrows trembled slightly, but she said without saying anything: "Zhu Neng is aware of it."

This is aware of the matter, and the current state-in-chief is the crown prince. Zhu Neng did not apologize to the crown prince, but he was the emperor and the later Emperor Xu. The meaning inside is self-evident.

"And... some ministers impeached the Shen Jiwei, saying that the artillery attacked Zhengyangmen. The state dynasty has not been so banned..."

"After returning to the Eastern Palace, His Royal Highness was sick and had already handed over the cabinet to the government. If there was anything that could not be controlled, the cabinet would be sent to Peking quickly. Some ministers went to the Eastern Palace to visit, but they refused to see each other and repeatedly blocked them."

Queen Xu's face was still calm, but she paused the needle and thread in her hand, as if she wanted to say something, but she held it back.

"Okay, okay, these things shouldn't be known to me, this woman in the palace. Women are not allowed to interfere in politics. This is Taizu's rule. You go down."

As Queen Xu said, she glanced at the young princess and said, "It's not like this, it's not like this. You are not like this. Come on, you should do this, look..."

The eunuch lowered his head and stepped back.

The capital was already in an uproar. In fact, everyone knew that the matter was so big that no mansion was alarmed. However, the people in the capital were mostly cautious. When they heard something outside, it was late at night. Who dared to open the door and go out? Not only could they not open the door, but they also had to turn off all the lights and stay at home for a night. They got up early the next morning before they came out. They saw a messy street, and saw whether the people living in the Forbidden City and the East Palace were still Zhu. It seemed that they had not turned over yet, so everyone felt relieved.

So, everyone became bolder and began to inquire about each other and exchange news. Ordinary people were constantly imagining and exaggerating, and all kinds of shocking versions were available, but for the officials of the court, they seemed much more restrained. They did not believe in the rumors in the market and hoped to get the most real version. The reason was very simple, because last night's incident was not small and had a profound impact, which was related to their future words and behaviors. If they made any taboos at that time, they might not necessarily affect their careers.

Therefore, the tribe and the temple were talking in a low voice. Not to mention ordinary officials, even people like radicals and ministers cannot avoid the common people.

As things gradually became clear, when more and more trivial details emerged, everyone became cautious.

This matter is strange, so strange that it makes people unable to distinguish the truth of the facts. However, nothing is important. The important thing is that the matter involves His Highness the Crown Prince, so it is better to shut up. The more you say, the more harm it will be to the Crown Prince. Everyone is not a fool. The Crown Prince is the heir the officials are most desirable and irreplaceable. Now, for the sake of the Crown Prince, he naturally can say less.

So although everyone had strange expressions, they followed the steps, and those who were eating tea were busy with the public case, and were in an orderly manner.

The Jingying and the personal army were also quiet, and everyone knew that they couldn't figure it out now. To put it bluntly, the emperor who was far away in Peking had to determine it.

At present, the participants in these incidents are of course more cautious and say less mistakes. If they are accidentally attacked and become the target of public criticism, that would be bad.

Life is so funny, and it seems that something earth-shaking has never happened. If it weren't for the Zhengyang Gate, which still had the mark of shelling, if it weren't for the messy streets, if it weren't for the city gate building that was being repaired, even the people in the capital would have seemed to have had an illusion, as if one night, the wind was calm and there was no movement.

What everyone is looking forward to is nothing more than the Holy Punishment, and when will this Holy Punishment come?

Compared with those reserved people in the capital, Hao Fenglou was much happier. After the initial reluctance and dullness, he was sitting on the canal boat and discussing the issue of stuttering with the King of Zhao Zhu Gaosui. The canal governor was indeed as timid and cautious as Hao Fenglou expected. When he heard that King Zhao was going to enter the capital, he asked if he was obeyed. King Zhao shook his head. This guy was stupid, so he stuttered, saying that he had not obeyed the order and the vassal king would not be allowed...

Before he could say this, Hao Fenglou coughed, so King Zhao was immediately furious and threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, pointing at his nose and scolding, "This is a housework, you are an outsider, can you care about it? I want to see your father, and it's your turn to talk too much."

When the governor saw it, his face turned pale and he didn't dare to say anything again, so he had to say, "Prepare it now."

In fact, it is easy to prepare. The grain and tribute from the northern land are transported to Jinling through Beitongzhou, so the cabbage ships from Beitongzhou to Nantongzhou are often full of ships, but the ships from south to north are all empty ships. Anyway, it is empty ships, and no one is sitting there. There are actually not many two thousand Shenmao guards, and dozens of large ships can be solved.

However, the Emperor Zhao was in the car, the governor, who had tried his best to repair a large ship, finally looked a little more glamorous and decent, and looked like an official ship, and he was also doing his best.

Whenever he thinks of the guy who Ai Ai in that period, Zhu Gaosui wants to laugh, and always imitates his words, which makes Hao Fenglou laugh.

Now on this deck, the two of them were sitting in high chairs and watching the scenery on both sides of the straits go away from them. Zhu Gaosui suddenly said, "Hao Fenglou, what do you think of my emperor brother now?"

Hao Fenglou narrowed his eyes, unable to stand the warm winter sunlight, and said slowly: "What he is thinking now has nothing to do with us. The most important thing is what the emperor is thinking."

"Then what do you think about the father?"

Hao Fenglou smiled: "The emperor is afraid he wants to free up his hands and deal with a few people."
