Zhu Di's expression was naturally as calm as water.

He held his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something.

Finally sighed and said slowly: "I have been really tired over the years. When I was the King of Yan, I fought everywhere every day and had no intention of paying attention to those troubles. But now, I am the emperor. If I become the emperor, I will inevitably have to look forward to the front and back. Oh... I will look forward to the front and back..."

There was a trace of helplessness in Zhu Di's eyes, but he was alone and others just respected him, feared him, and flattered him. Although some people were able to figure out his thoughts, how many people could figure out?

Zhu Di also knew this truth well. Since he was the emperor, he should be moody. Only in this way can he not be able to detect his thoughts and not be understood into his heart. It is precisely because of this that he will not be fooled by others.

But now, Zhu Di felt extremely tired, and he really wished that someone in this world could see through his own thoughts. This loneliness is sometimes a torment.

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Di walked back and forth for a few steps before raising his eyes, and finally said lightly: "Others don't know, but I know that Qiu Fu has selfishness. Sometimes he does not lack some thoughtfulness in his work, but he is loyal and has no big mistakes. I still remember that when I was in a state of confrontation, he repeatedly asked for his orders as the vanguard. Every time he fought, he was covered in wounds. No matter what time, he was not determined to die... Oh... back then... I drank with him and fought together. Those days... it was so good..."

Seeing Zhu Di showing a little nostalgic look, Xia Yuanji felt a little sad. Could it be that the emperor had thought of his old love again and was unwilling to punish Qiu Fu. If so, other military officers would probably be spared. Wouldn't the Ministry of War have been in vain for so long?

Thinking of this, Xia Yuanji smiled bitterly. Of course he knew that he would destroy Qiu Fu. There were also a group of military officers from the Beijing camp and even the personal army. His Royal Highness was carefully planned by His Royal Highness. This time, he wanted to completely uproot the power of the King of Han. If this time, His Majesty suddenly felt lenient and His Royal Highness had his efforts. Wouldn't it be wasted?

Xia Yuanji glanced at Zhu Di deeply and said, "Your Majesty means..."

Zhu Di's chest was rising and falling, and finally he stopped and his face returned to cold: "I sent an order, Qiu Fu's crimes are so great. I think he has made merits, so... I will save his life, take away his Duke of Qi, and remove him from the position of governor of the Five Army Governor's Office. This matter is just like this. Don't make things difficult for him anymore, let him live a good life and enjoy his old age."

Xia Yuanji then breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Di waved his hand: "I have to think about the constitution of the Ministry of War. You can continue to wait for my decree."

Xia Yuanji did not dare to neglect and quickly stood up to say goodbye.

Zhu Di sat alone in the warm pavilion. He stroked the desk and did not look at the regulations on the desk, but fell into deep thought.

"Come on, have tea."

Outside the warm cupboard, there was a sudden busyness. Finally, someone came in with a tea cup. It was Zhao Zhong. Zhao Zhong bowed his body and carefully held the tea cup and placed it in front of Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was not in a hurry to drink, but just put it aside.

"Zhao Zhong."

"I am here." Zhao Zhong smiled and said, "I am looking down."

Zhu Di lazily raised his eyes and looked at him: "What do you think Qiu Fu?"

"I dare not criticize you." Since the last time, I was transferred to Beijing for no reason, Zhao Zhong has seemed much more cautious, and there is a sense of caution everywhere.

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile: "Don't dare? Oh, it's understandable. I just want to talk to someone, you don't have to be afraid. Qiu Fu, according to my opinion, is indeed innocent, but it won't work. Even if I don't deal with him, someone insists on forcing me to attack Qiu Fu. I have no way. If not, I am afraid that the father and son will be difficult to be thorough. Besides, doing this is not a bad thing for Qiu Fu. If he continues like this, sooner or later... Even if I want to protect him, what if I die? Don't even live the children of the Qiu family? This is good, without any official position, and being a rich man, no one will care about it, is not a bad thing."

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Zhong's face changed.

The righteousness of father and son.

Who is your Majesty trying to allusion?

The King of Han... No, no, it is definitely not the King of Han. Qiu Fu is the King of Han's Mount Tai. How could it be alluded to the King of Han?

Then... there is only one person, and that is the prince.

Zhao Zhong hissed and sucked in the cold air, but he still wanted to look confused, making him seem to not care.

A trace of sadness flashed through Zhu Di's eyes and said slowly: "Since it's not a bad thing, then do it like this." Zhu Di already picked up the teacup, took a sip, and couldn't help but smile: "Why does this tea have a charcoal smell? The tea room is getting less and less concerned."

Zhao Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "I understand."

He knew in his heart that the person who was in charge of the tea room was his godson Liu Chang. Although he was only responsible for pouring tea and making tea, His Majesty had to eat tea every day, and someone had to cook it. He also had to pay it to him on time. Therefore, although it was just an irrelevant job, it had always been the main goal of the eunuchs in the palace. Now it has finally fallen into Zhao Zhong's hands, but Zhao Zhong knew that what Your Majesty said meant that the errand in this tea room was afraid that it would be handed over to someone else. Not only that, he would not have a good chance in the future, so he would come here to pour tea and water every day.

Zhu Di's expression was nothing unusual. He just put down the teacup and picked up the regulations to see it.

The punishment for Qiu Fu finally came down. The palace was ruthless, and the Qiu family completely lost power. The entire Qiu family was in a state of sadness. However, Qiu Fu was still calm and kept his anger and stayed in the door and never went to see outsiders again.

As for the criticism of Qiu Fu, it ended abruptly. This was really contrary to the Qingliu Censors who liked to beat the water dog. But the fact is that, just one day ago, at this moment, they suddenly stopped, as if the traitors in the court yesterday had disappeared and had no connection with them anymore.

There was something that was quite interesting, but it was Zhou Lifan, who was the person who led the letter from Beijing. He said that when he heard that Your Majesty was going to choose a son-in-law, everyone thought about it and finally had a good candidate. This person was far away from the sky and was close to him. Not only was he both civil and military, but he was also a dragon and phoenix among people. This son should have been in the sky, but unexpectedly, he fell into the mortal world. He was extraordinary. The princess of Jing Kingdom married him and did not be humiliated.

So he quoted the scriptures and told many allusions, which were nothing more than the combination of heaven.

Logically speaking, it is understandable that the emperor recruits a son-in-law and is waiting for someone to recommend it. Some people actively report such matters. After all, the emperor's family affairs are state affairs, and everyone can't help but want to get involved if there is any involvement.

But this is Jinling, what are your Beijing officials here to join in the fun?

The official in Jinling has his own arrogance. If it were in the past, he would have to criticize him a few words and teach those rural Beijingers how to behave.

But, however, everyone was silent.

If something is abnormal, it is a monster. No matter how you look at this, it is mysterious, which makes many people dare not be careless.

First of all, it is the emperor's intention. After saying so much, it is obviously a matter of Hao Fenglou. At this time, if you oppose it, it may not necessarily lead to a good end. Secondly, some people have a bad impression of Hao Fenglou, and their impression of the prince-consort is even worse. How many officials who are serious court officials are willing to be the prince-consort? This prince-consort looks noble, but in the end, it is just a pit. If you fall into the pit, you will not be a secret official.

This is why everyone remained silent. If Hao Fenglou had become the prince consort and was finally hanged up, it would not be a bad thing.

So the attitudes of the government and the public were surprisingly consistent, and everyone did not say anything.

Even when the court was discussing, the emperor personally took out this and asked, saying that someone recommended Hao Fenglou as his son-in-law, but I don’t know what your family thought.

The emperor was so approachable that he took the initiative to put the private affairs of the Tian family on the table and asked everyone for their intentions. But this time, everyone stopped talking. The person asked was flickering, neither saying good nor bad. The general meaning was nothing more than, Your Majesty, please do it.

Of course, there will be some young and frivolous people who care about so much. They will directly raise a memorial, saying that the princess married a married man is contrary to the laws of nature. As a result, most of their memorials are sank to the sea, and they are not allowed to be released in the palace, and their indifference is very obvious.

So, the marriage process began to start, like a torrent, unstoppable.

First, Hao Fenglou was summoned to meet in the palace. This time, the audience was to see his "talent and beautiful" meaning. However, everyone was an old acquaintance, and it was just a formality. Hao Fenglou paid homage to Empress Xu. The "mother and son" were a little embarrassed when they met. But soon, everyone adapted to their new role, talked a few family matters, and sent Hao Fenglou away. Then the officials of the Zongling Mansion arrived.
