Wanli Xinming

Chapter 74
Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then said in surprise, "But who else has been hurt?"

Sun Long echoed back: "Long live lord, the maid serving the concubine died and injured, nothing else."

Zhu Yijun heard this, got off the bed, and asked Wei Chao to dress him and comb his hair.He asked Sun Long again: "This Xiyuan Palace was only repaired last year, how could it be like this?"

Sun Long got stuck again, Wei Chao had already recovered, and said from the side: "Your Majesty, Director Sun took a look. The broken purlin was gnawed by termites, and there was only a layer of patent leather on the outside."

Sun Long said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the unexpected death of the concubine will cause a great uproar. The lord has to restrain his anger, so don't let your anger break down."

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he pulled his face down and asked, "Is the queen mother frightened? How do you say it?"

Sun Long said: "The two palaces and Eunuch Zhang are now in the main hall. Because they are worried that there are hidden dangers in this palace, they are doing everything for the saint. The queen mother asked the servants to wake up the emperor and let the emperor go to the main hall."

While speaking, Zhu Yijun was dressed, but Wei Chao took out another Isaac and put it on him because he was afraid that he would be cold.

Zhu Yijun walked out of the warm pavilion, surrounded by people who were holding lamps and fetching hot water, and surrounded Zhu Yijun to the main hall.

After only a few steps in total, when Zhu Yijun entered the hall, he saw a group of people standing in the main hall, listening to the registration of the internal supervisor, and they all knelt down to greet him.

The queen mothers Chen and Li were sitting and talking when they saw Zhu Yijun coming.The Empress Dowager Chen blushed first, pulled him into her arms, and said with tears, "You scared the mother to death, and the emperor scared?"

While talking, he touched Zhu Yijun's ears, as if he was going to give him a jingle that "cats are frightened, dogs are frightened, our emperor is not frightened".

Empress Dowager Li was on the side and wanted to reach out and touch Zhu Yijun, but because Empress Dowager Rensheng hugged her tightly, she couldn't get her hands in, so she put it down.

With a sigh, he instructed the people around him, "Go and see King Lu and the princesses, don't wake them up." The proper palace lady agreed.

Zhu Yijun gently broke free from Rensheng's arms and said, "The son is fine, but the two mothers were frightened?"

Empress Dowager Li said with a worried expression, "The Ministry of Industry and the Supervisor of the Zhi Palace should all be damned! They are to blame for the death of Concubine Qi!"

Zhu Yijun listened and glanced at Zhang Hong, who was standing beside him.He said softly, "Where is Chen Ju?"

Chen Ju stepped out from behind Zhang Hong, knelt down and said, "This minister is here."

Zhu Yijun asked in a deep voice, "How many eunuchs are there in the East Factory?"

Chen Ju replied: "Go back to the emperor, there are 150 people in total."

Zhu Yijun said: "Separate 50 people to take care of the Ningcui Hall, and no one is allowed to approach it!" Chen Ju agreed and went to assign it himself.

Zhu Yijun glanced at the hall again, and instructed: "What is the use of these many people here? The Slijian will arrange it and take a ladder to check everywhere. If there are any broken beams and purlins, let the people inside. come out."

Zhang Hong heard this and arranged for everyone in the hall to go out first.Afterwards, he knelt down and played: "Your Majesty, this main hall is not suitable for it, but for the sake of safety, do you want to go back to the palace at night?"

Zhu Yijun sneered when he heard it, and there seemed to be ice between his lips: "I served the two palaces in Xiyuan for one day, and returned to the inner palace in a dreary night. Wouldn't it be laughing at all countries at home and abroad?"

Da Yun, who stayed in the hall, heard the emperor's determination, and the coldness reached his heels.

Yin Xiang, who had only been the superintendent of the direct hall supervisor in February last year, was already in custody at this time, but Zhu Yijun estimated that Yin Xiang's old age must be coaxed by the people below, and this matter needs to be further explored.

He also instructed Zhang Hongdao: "Quickly arrange for someone to inspect the main hall." Empress Dowager Li interjected: "The inspection has been completed here, and it's all good wood, nothing to do."

After Empress Dowager Zhu Yijun finished speaking, she nodded.He sneered again: "It's fortunate that I am young—"

After a while, he said, "Otherwise, I don't know how many disgusting words there are to arrange me."

Empress Dowager Li hadn't thought of this episode before, and was woken up by Zhu Yijun, and then she thought that this shit pot might be stuck on her head.

The emperor was young and could not be accused of being a "mother concubine", but he turned his head and told Mrs. Li a little story about jealousy, hatred, forbearance, power, and murder. That was unbearable.

Her face was pale with anger, and she instructed Zhang Hong: "If you know about it today, let them keep their mouths shut! If there are any unfavorable royal rumors spread, you are the only one to ask!" Zhang Hong secretly complained and knelt down in response.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Li was in a condom, Zhu Yijun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The son will live with his mother tonight, and the rest will be discussed tomorrow."

Empress Dowager Li glanced at the clock and saw that she had arrived at Zizheng.With frost on his face, he said, "According to the emperor's orders, let's do it!"

Early the next morning, it was sunny.Zhu Yijun accompanied the two palaces and went to the scene to have a look.

The Ningcui Hall sits west to the east, and the main body is intact. Only the roof of the hall collapsed to the north, and the glazed tiles outside and inside the hall fell to the ground.

Listening to the report of the internal supervisor serving Concubine Qi, Concubine Qi didn't go to bed when the accident happened, and was playing back and forth with the maid next to her in the hall with chess pieces.When the roof of the hall collapsed, he couldn't dodge in time, and the two glazed tiles hit his head squarely, and it was gone at that time.

Zhu Yijun stood outside the security line, coughed, and asked Chen Ju, "Is the toffee's body ready for burial? Has the family informed me?"

Chen Ju echoed back: "The body has been collected. The concubine's home is in Suzhou, and there is no one in the capital, so I have rushed to Suzhou to report."

The Empress Dowager Chen recited two words of Buddha, and sighed: "Poor! Young people suffered this disaster." After speaking, her eyes turned red.Zhu Yijun remembered the shocking glance the day before yesterday, and his heart was heavy.

Seeing the heavy curtains in the main hall, the Empress Dowager Chen said again: "It's fortunate that the broken lights did not light the curtains, otherwise the fire would start, and the chaos would be even greater, and our mothers would inevitably be embarrassed."

How could Empress Dowager Li fall asleep last night, her face was ashen at this time, and she said hatefully: "Who is in charge of building Xiyuan?"

Zhang Hong checked it out early last night, and at this time he played back: "According to the Queen Mother's order last spring, the supervisor of ceremonies transferred 15 taels of silver; the cabinet ordered the Ministry of Industry to be responsible for the repair; the minister of the Ministry of Industry Zhu Heng approved the transfer to Wai Lang, the secretary of the camp. Yang Song is in charge of the general manager, and the Taiji Factory supplies the timber; the Zhidian Superintendent and the Young Superintendent Wang Li supervise; the list of the rest of the book office, dispatcher and other officials is here." After finishing speaking, he knelt down and submitted the list.

Empress Dowager Li brought it over and shouted sternly: "To capture one piece, really ask! And let Zhang Juzheng and Zhu Heng come here!"

Chen Ju played: "Reply to the Queen Mother's words. The minister has ordered Dongchang to arrest the relevant people separately. Mr. Zhang and Zhu Heng are already kneeling outside the Bailu Palace to plead guilty."

When Zhu Yijun heard the words, he was taken aback and said, "Can Mr. Zhang be able to supervise the construction himself? Let him come in and find a suitable place to rest."

When Chen Ju heard this, he was deeply embarrassed.Zhang Hong knelt down and replied: "I think that the Queen Mother and the Emperor will not live here, so the palace arrangement is not divided into inside and outside. At this time, Bailu Palace is all people in the inner palace, and the foreign ministers according to the ceremony-"

Empress Dowager Li interrupted: "What is the difference between inside and outside at this moment, the sky is bright and the sun is full of people's eyes, which one can still have an affair? Find a small hall near the palace gate, put a screen, and this palace will go to listen to their explanation. !"

This decree was so crunchy that Zhang Hong couldn't argue after hearing it, so he hurriedly stepped back and arranged to go.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Zhang Hong came back and asked to drive.Empress Dowager Li asked Empress Dowager Chen, Empress Dowager Chen was frightened, and she said that she hadn't slept all night last night and wanted to go back to rest.

Empress Dowager Li was not reluctant, and she took Zhu Yijun to the small hall arranged by Zhang Hong.There was a throne in the hall, and a screen was placed behind the throne. Empress Dowager Li sat behind the screen, and Zhu Yijun sat on the throne.

Seeing that the two of them were seated, the inner prisoner went out to preach the decree.After a while, Zhang Juzheng invited in outside the hall.

Chen Ju shouted for an audience, and Zhang Juzheng entered the hall.Before entering the door, he knelt down and said: "Chen Zhang Juzheng is not careful, deacon, disturbing the emperor and the two palace chariots, it is impossible to escape the crime of neglect, I implore the emperor to punish!"

Zhu Yijun said warmly, "Sir, please get up. This unintentional mistake, you don't have to restrain yourself - this time, you just have to pursue the blame."

Zhang Juzheng said with tears: "The emperor bows down and forgives and does not condemn. The minister of the holy degree is only grateful. However, if the concubine died, there is no guilt in power, and I also ask the emperor to impose severe punishments and discipline."

Zhu Yijun understood what he meant, and still insisted: "This matter will be discussed later. The old gentleman is flat, and he comes closer to discuss the follow-up with me."

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he got up helplessly, walked to the throne and knelt down again.Zhu Yijun still called out warmly, and gave a seat. The inner prisoner took a small pier, and Zhang Juzheng thanked him and sat down.

Zhu Yijun smiled bitterly and said, "Old sir, are the Bailu Palace and the royal family in conflict? It was set on fire during Sejong's time, and the name was changed twice after it was rebuilt, but it hasn't been shipped yet."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng was dumbfounded when Zhu Yijun said this.It took a while to return: "This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. The minister believes that anyone below his own level who is related to the construction of Xiyuan should be seriously investigated. The supervisor of the inner court and the supervisor of the lijian should also be strictly investigated. Only then can public opinion be calmed and there will be no turmoil.”

Zhu Yijun listened, nodded and said, "I agree with what the old gentleman said, the death of the concubine, the death of the concubine, and the death of the head rolls, where is the law and discipline?"

Zhang Juzheng didn't mean this, because Zhu Yijun led the topic, he first said the word "man-made disaster".At this time, the emperor's killing intent was revealed, but he couldn't back down.

　It was delayed by two hours yesterday, and it was sent out earlier today.
