"What's going on?"

After hearing Zhu Youxiao’s question, Chen Hong was also confused and said quickly: “Go back to the emperor, I don’t know what’s going on. Why don’t I ask someone to check it out?”

"Forget it, no need." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said casually.

Although I don’t know what happened, Zhu Youxiao was sure that this matter had nothing to do with British Duke Zhang Weixian, and it must be this old guy who was messing around. Xu Xi was not crazy, so why did he go here to do this?

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youxiao said: "Transfer this news to the British Duke and see what his reaction is. Block the news and don't let the people below spread it."

"Yes, the emperor, I will make arrangements now." Chen Hong quickly agreed.

He could also see that the emperor from home was really angry this time, and he was not in a very high mood. If he made any mistakes at this time, he might become the emperor's punching bag.

This kind of mistake cannot be made.

The news soon reached the British Duke's ears, and Zhang Weixian's face was full of disbelief.

In any case, Zhang Weixian didn't expect that he would be put on by Xu Xi. At this time, his face was gloomy and terrible, and his anger was already full of energy. He really wanted to find Xu Xi to kill him with one knife.

What stupid thing is his mother doing? Isn’t this seeking death?

If Xu Xi wrote the question book as he said, and then he would attach the design to him, and the two of them handed over the question book together, the meaning of this matter would be different.

The two dukes advocated together, which can be said to be the nobles who had the will in this regard. At the same time, they took themselves as the leader and turned this matter into a group event.

But now Xu Xi has gone by himself and has directly stabbed this matter at His Majesty, which has become Xu Xi's own wish.

You should know that individual wishes and collective wishes are different.

It is safer to hide in the siege of the collective; at the same time, it is easier to accomplish things by utilizing the collective power.

If you make a single shot, you will easily become cannon fodder. At the same time, Your Majesty will not want to see someone making a single shot, especially people like Xu Xi.

Zhang Weixian stood up helplessly, forced himself to calm his anger, and then turned toward Xiyuan.

Since the matter has already happened, it will be useless even if I strangled Xu Xi to death. At this point, I can only go to find His Majesty.

Along the way, he wondered how to tell His Majesty that Zhang Weixian soon came to the West Garden.

After seeing Chen Hong, Zhang Weixian hurriedly said, "Eunuch Chen, how is today?"

Seeing Zhang Weixian, Chen Hong sighed in his heart.

This matter is indeed related to the British Duke. It seems that Your Majesty is right. He should stay away from the British Duke, so as not to spread his anger and affect him.

Although I really want to stay away from the British Duke, Chen Hong's smile was still bright, "I thanked the blessing of the Duke, and life is still acceptable."

Chen Hong smiled and said, "The Duke of the State entered the palace today, but did he ask to see Your Majesty?"

Chen Hong didn't want to say much to Zhang Weixian now, so he took the initiative to shift the topic away.

Zhang Weixian looked at Chen Hong. He originally wanted to find some news with this eunuch, but when he saw Chen Hong's appearance, Zhang Weixian knew that Chen Hong must know something, but he would never tell him.

With Chen Hong's current status in the palace today, there are not many things that can be hidden from him. His attitude is obviously a rejection. If it is not too big, Chen Hong is not this attitude.

This made Zhang Weixian's heart sink, so he hurriedly said, "It's because of some things that you have to present to Your Majesty."

Chen Hong nodded and said, "Then the prince will come with our family!"

After hearing this, Zhang Weixian was stunned and then asked, "What does this mean by father-in-law?"

"Your Majesty is already waiting for the Duke of the Kingdom." Chen Hong said with a smile: "Your Majesty has just told you that if the Duke of the Kingdom arrives, you don't need to spread it all, just introduce the Duke of the Kingdom."

After hearing Chen Hong's words, Zhang Weixian became even more angry, but Xu Xi was angry.

It turns out that he is not enough to make a mistake, and he almost got cheated!

If I hadn't come to the palace directly if I reacted in time, this time would have been bad!

"Then I'll be a blessing, my father-in-law." Zhang Weixian said with a smile and bowed to Chen Hong.

"You are kind to you, Mr. Chen Hong said with a smile, turning around and leading the way forward.

The two of them walked all the way to the lake in Xiyuan and saw Zhu Youxiao.

Because the weather has become warmer, Zhu Youxiao can come out to wander again.

After holding it in for a whole winter, my whole body seemed to be rusted, so Zhu Youxiao was now lying on a rocking chair by the lake, holding a fishing rod in his hand. As for whether he could catch it, that's all.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Weixian breathed a little relieved. Obviously, His Majesty was angry, but the degree did not seem to be that serious.

After coming straight to Zhu Youxiao, Chen Hong said softly: "The Emperor, the British Duke is here."

After gently lifting his eyelids, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong, then looked at Zhang Weixian who was standing not far behind him, nodded and said, "Let him come over."

Not long after, Zhang Weixian walked to Zhu Youxiao and bowed and said, "Minister Zhang Weixian, please see Your Majesty."

"Okay, there is no need to be so much etiquette here." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, and at the same time he ordered Chen Hong: "Turn a stool for the British Duke. The British Duke is not young anymore, and speaking while standing is harmful to his body."

"Thank you for your concern." Zhang Weixian said quickly.

When Chen Hong brought the stool and Zhang Weixian also sat down, Zhu Youxiao said, "Is there anything wrong with my dear entering the palace?"

"Your Majesty, I am here to apologize." Zhang Weixian said hurriedly.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled, put down the fishing rod in his hand, and said in a gentle tone: "What's wrong with this today? Nothing happened to the court? Or am I mean? Why are all these and two people coming to apologize? Just as Duke Ding left, you came, let's talk."

When Zhang Weixian heard this, he cursed Xu Xi again, and then said, "Your Majesty, what I want to say is actually related to Duke Ding. The day before yesterday, Duke Ding came to my mansion and said something."

"Duke Ding said that he wanted to do something to be loyal to His Majesty during this period. Two of the three Dukes in the capital had entered the Staff Office, but he was not. He wanted to ask me why, but His Majesty was dissatisfied with what he did? As a minister, I naturally did not dare to guess the holy intention."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Weixian and didn't say anything, but his eyes said everything.

This glance made Zhang Weixian very embarrassed.

Zhang Weixian's face was a little flushed, but he still bit the bullet and continued, "I said at that time, I didn't know about this matter, and I didn't care. However, Duke Ding refused to leave at my family and moved out the affairs of the older generation. I really had no choice."

"There's no way, you just gave him such an idea?" Zhu Youxiao turned his head and looked at Zhang Weixian, his tone increased a little and said.

"Your Majesty, this idea of ​​apologizing for guilt is not something I have done." Zhang Weixian quickly stood up and said anxiously in his tone: "This is completely the Duke of Ding's own decision, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Is that true?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a little question.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Weixian quickly explained: "At that time, I was thinking about the affairs of the Staff Office. I was thinking about what the Staff Office should do next, so I thought of Zhanwo."

"The court has been in a tight state over the years, but the salt merchants have made a lot of money. Using these salt merchants, the imperial court's nobles and relatives made a fortune, which really hurt the court's dignity, and at the same time, it also made the treasury lose money and left the court without money. I just want to rectify this matter."

"Duke Ding asked me to go to my house, so I told him about this matter. At that time, I told Ding that he would go back and write a question book. At that time, I would also sign a name for me. The two of us jointly requested this matter. First, we can win over some of the nobles, and second, it can also be regarded as attracting Duke Ding to give him a chance to make contributions to His Majesty and the State."

"But who thought that Duke Ding was like this..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Weixian couldn't continue to say anything. He was so angry that he was out of breath. This was not something he showed on purpose, but he was really angry.

"You're doing a good job." Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly.

"I am guilty." Zhang Weixian said quickly on his knees.

"Okay, get up!" Zhu Youxiao sighed, waved his hand and said, "I am not the kind of person who doesn't care about favors. Although your approach is inappropriate, I can understand it."

"Duke Ding came to me and said that the family's occupancy was quite serious. He only discovered it in the past few days, so he wanted to pay back the money."

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhang Weixian cursed in his heart.

It turns out that he is a fool, he is just that he can't stand the mud!

You said you are not good at learning, and you learned Zhu Chunchen to do things. If this news spreads, you will be scolded to death!

Although the tax on farmland is also a matter of cutting off the stock market, it is a small amount of money after all.

This salt money is really a lot of money. How many people hate you if you do this?

If you say it upright, it will still be a great title. Even if someone is dissatisfied, he will not dare to say anything on the surface; if he continues to promote it vigorously, those people can only endure it.

Now that you are showing off your head, what if Your Majesty doesn’t push you? Wouldn’t you bury yourself? How will those people deal with you?

Do you really think that the title of Duke can stabilize Mount Tai?

If you really offend someone and die, you will be dead.

You must hold power in your hands when doing things. When power is in hand, no one dares to oppose you; when you don’t have power, you will finish the matter.

Now that there is no title of righteousness and no power, isn’t this arbitrary death?

"Your Majesty, this is really not what I asked Duke Ding to do. I just want to rectify the nobles and relatives. They have done too much in recent years, which has caused the court to ignore it and indulge in love all day long, which is really a shame for the ancestors."

Zhang Weixian hurriedly said: "But who would have thought that the Dingguo Public did such a thing for his own benefit!"
