Not long after, Wei Zhongxian ran in from outside. When he saw Zhu Youxiao, he threw himself to the ground: "Your Majesty!"

"Get up, have something to say!" Zhu Youxiao didn't even look at Wei Zhongxian, but just listened quietly.

These past two days have scared Wei Zhongxian to death.

Wei Zhongxian was quite proud at first, but now the case is getting bigger and bigger. Once he pries open Li Ruzhen's mouth, he will be able to arrest more people. When the case becomes a major case, he will be able to arrest all these people.

Get rid of him and see who else dares to impeach him.

However, things took a turn for the worse in the past two days. The emperor actually wanted to hand over several prisoners to the three divisions for trial. What did he have to do with this?

It's okay if the credit is gone. Once these people get to the Third Division and find out something that is unsubstantiated, it's all the result of being tortured by him, Old Wei. Once he wears the hat of being beaten into a crime, his own head may be gone.

Wei Zhongxian naturally had to find a way to protect himself and keep the people involved in the case in his east factory.

In this world, it is always easier to slander others than to prove that oneself is better. This is also a common routine used in so-called democratic elections in later generations. Therefore, the people elected are not compared with who is better, but who is not so bad.

Wei Zhongxian had a deep understanding of this point. He knew that it was useless to ask the emperor to leave the case in Dongchang to prove how well he could handle the case.

The most useful way is to prove how bad and rotten the other party is. And that's what he came here to do today.

"Your Majesty, the secret memorial of Dongchang." Wei Zhongxian quickly took out a copy of the memorial and presented it respectfully.

Zhu Youxiao then raised his head, took the secret memorial handed over by Chen Hong, and took a look at it.

After reading it, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Zhongxian strangely, and then was very surprised. There was not much in this secret report. It only recorded the conversation between two people. One was Yang Lian, the imperial envoy who had just been appointed to examine the case, and the other

It was Zou Yuanbiao, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The conversation between these two Donglin Party members is recorded in great detail in this secret memorial. What Yang Lian said and what Zou Yuanbiao said. At the end of the secret memorial, Zou Yuanbiao gave the verdict of the case.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao sighed helplessly.

As expected, he is a gentleman of the Donglin Party, and what he said is really upright. Li Ruzhen argued for death, Feng Sanyuan, Wei Yingjia, Zhang Xiude and other people were dismissed from office, but there was not even a single one who could be used in the future. This is just to go back and avoid the limelight.

Maybe one day he will recover.

Seeing this secret memorial, Zhu Youxiao didn't know what he was feeling in his heart.

Are you disappointed after the confirmation? Or are you relieved? Seeing the reasons given by others, when dealing with Quan Eunuch, the overall situation is important, regardless of trivial matters, it is all done by a gentleman.

But what about the reality?

The case of a border general colluding with a DPRK and Chinese minister to frame a border minister was suppressed, and the only person dealt with was Li Ruzhen.

Feng Sanyuan, Wei Yingjia, Zhang Xiude and a few others basically just went home and squinted for a while. Maybe someone would send them off and say, "This trip is very glorious."

"The Donglin Party really serves the country and the people!" Zhu Youxiao sighed with a smile.

Glancing at Wei Zhongxian who was standing aside with his hands down, Zhu Youxiao smiled, and then said: "Okay, I know the matter, let's do this for now!"

Wei Zhongxian was stunned, "Is this the case first? How could it be like this? They are all ready to do this, my lord, can you still bear it?"

"Do you have anything else?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian and asked.

Wei Zhongxian was stunned. Although he was unwilling to give in, he did not dare to stay any longer, let alone continue to ask questions. He quickly said: "Please leave, slave!" After saying that, he bowed and left.

When Wei Zhongxian left, Zhu Youxiao sighed and slowly fell into deep thought.

It’s true that people have two skins. Does what Zou Yuanbiao said make sense? It makes sense, but the focus is different.

In Zou Yuanbiao's view, Li Ruzhen and Xiong Tingbi were all trivial matters, and defeating Wei Zhongxian was the big deal. It is normal to make choices in small matters for the sake of big things.

Of course, it's very possible that it's because Zou Yuanbiao received money, but he was able to tell something that seemed to make sense.

"Sure enough, there is no right or wrong in politics, only positions." Zhu Youxiao said with emotion. Everyone has different positions, so it's all in vain.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Donglin Party, it is right not to collect taxes but to listen to me; otherwise it is wrong.

Just like a certain country in later generations, if you listen to me, you are right, if you don't listen to me, you are wrong, and those who are wrong will be defeated.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly laughed. He suddenly thought of a later movie called "The World", which contained a very famous line: qnmd!

"Your Majesty, you can go to Ciqing Palace to have a meal." Wei Chao saw that Zhu Youxiao seemed to be in a much better mood and said hurriedly and respectfully.

Looking at the time, Zhu Youxiao stood up and stretched his muscles, then said with a smile: "Let's go."

When they arrived at Ciqing Palace, they saw Li Huan and the palace maids guarding the entrance of the palace from a distance.

Li Huanzheng was pacing back and forth anxiously. It was already past the meal time, and he thought that the emperor would not come tonight. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Huang in bright clothes approaching from a distance.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here!" Li Huan ran into Ciqing Palace happily.

Concubine Zhuang's heart has changed from disappointment to joy. The emperor is here. What does this mean? This means that the emperor really intends to leave the matter of selecting the concubine to her. How can she suppress the excitement in her heart? This time

After choosing the concubine, she no longer had the title of Queen Mother, so she couldn't help but stand up and go to the palace gate to greet His Majesty in person.

Zhu Youxiao smiled warmly and said, "Toffee, be careful if you catch a cold." After saying that, he took the fox fur from the maid on the side and put it on himself for Princess Zhuang.

"It's okay." Zhuang Taifei smiled softly.

They sat down soon, and Li Huan greeted people to serve the meal, which was a typical family banquet in the palace. Concubine Zhuang chatted about household chores and talked about choosing the queen. Although it seemed like it was unintentional

He mentioned it, but both Zhu Youxiao and Zhuang Taifei knew that this was mentioned here deliberately.

"Since the founding of the Central Plains by Taizu, there has been an ancestral precept: All emperors must marry at the age of sixteen and establish a queen. Now that your majesty is seventeen years old, it is time to follow the ancestral precepts to build a harem and establish a queen." After saying this, Mrs. Zhuang

The concubine looked at Zhu Youxiao quietly, waiting for him to express his position.

"Yes!" Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then said: "People say that parents order matchmakers, so let the concubine handle this matter!"

After Princess Zhuang heard this, she immediately laughed and said quickly: "Your Majesty is rich in the world, so naturally the marriage cannot be careless. It needs the cooperation of the Supervisor of Ceremonies."

Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly, and then said: "In that case, I will trouble the concubine to do it herself. I will ask Wang An to co-organize it."

This matter is finally settled. Sorry for the late update. Yesterday, Hunjun was moved from the contracted author list to the new author contracted list. Due to lack of exposure, the performance dropped a lot, and I was hit for a moment. Sorry, sorry. Adjusted today.
