eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 15 Eat Fish
After explaining some questions listed by the prince in detail, Wang Jia prepared to leave.

Zhu Houzhao saluted and sent them off in front of the hall. After watching the people go away, he didn't turn his head to Liu Jin who was beside him and asked, "Is what Wang Jia said true?"

The old eunuch naturally knew what the prince was asking.

But he actually has a good relationship with Li Guang. Even if we don't talk about these things, Wang Jia is a foreign minister, and Li Guang can be regarded as an internal minister.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Li built palaces for real, but none of them were built for himself. Your Majesty is very filial to the Empress Dowager, and many of them are also for the sake of the ancestors."

You see, the same thing can feel different when it is said by different people.

Zhu Houzhao paced in the hall, "Then, why is Li Guang trusted by his father so much?"

Liu Jin said mysteriously again: "Li Guang can do talisman spells, but His Majesty is weak and sick. Mostly rely on Li Guangxing's prayers to Buddha and sacrifices. I pray for God's blessing, and Your Majesty can also be healthy."

In the eyes of modern people, this is really nonsense.

But the ancients have always believed that there are gods with their heads up three feet,

Even in modern times, there are still Korean cults everywhere.

After receiving this information, Zhu Houzhao did not speak for a while.

Liu Jin, on the other hand, didn't understand what the prince's silence meant. Right now, the prince was close to civil servants, so he probably listened to what those foreign ministers said?
He rolled his eyes and thought again.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty works hard day and night, and spends very frugally on weekdays. Even if a few palaces are built, it is because of filial piety. Just doing this little thing and spending this little money, the foreign ministers are still relentless. Your Highness thinks about it. Is Your Majesty very loyal?"

This old fox, the speech is really inducing.

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his fingers, stood in front of the rain curtain and frowned in thought, there was no other sound except the patter of rain.

He was actually a little strange, how old was he, and he hadn't formally participated in the government affairs. Why did he come to him for such a thing?
The bigger possibility is that these people can't solve this problem, and there is no good way, so they can only try their luck.

That means the emperor didn't listen to these remonstrances very much.

After a long time, he suddenly said, "Go to the imperial dining room, I'm hungry and want to eat fish, I ask them to make one right now, and another bowl of rice, it must be hot."

Seeing that His Highness was not impulsive, Liu Jin was overjoyed. She felt that she had probably grasped His Highness's mind, and Wang Jia's complaint might not have any effect.

No way, he still has to go to Li Guang to claim credit.

Otherwise, wouldn't the words in front of His Highness be in vain?
After Liu Jin left, Zhu Houzhao turned around and walked into the hall. When he turned around, he found Qiu Yun was looking at him, but he avoided it after meeting his eyes.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"The slaves dare not."

"Don't dare, it means there is. Tell me."

"I don't have much knowledge, this is just the first time I heard the same thing, and the people on both sides said something completely different. So I was wondering what His Highness was thinking after hearing this."

Zhu Houzhao smiled.

The so-called investigation of people's faults should not be announced to the public; if people's deceit is felt, they should not be angry.

I'm afraid this matter has to be done slowly.

"Qiu Yun, these many things are sometimes like brewing tea. If you want to get the fragrance, you have to let it steep for a while."

He didn't immediately accept Wang Jia's invitation, there was naturally a reason,

In the end, he and Wang Jia had only met a few times, and the exchanges were all casual conversations.

Why should he go to this obviously thunderous matter now?
This is not a question of good and bad people, he believes that Wang Jia is a good person.

But this kind of old pedant, today you agree with him, he praises you to the sky,

If you don't agree with him tomorrow, he can be as stubborn as a donkey against you.

For this kind of person, you can help him with small things. If you oppose the emperor, it's not that you don't do it, but you need to think about it.

If what he Zhu Houzhao wants to do is the kind of emperor under the Confucian values, and his ideas are relatively simple, then he can follow them passionately and risk his life to remonstrate,

But that would be nothing more than a flourishing age in the mouth of a civil servant.

History has proved many times that with the use of a group of so-called "clear streams", the country is not much better.

But if someone like Li Guang really did these bad things and caused great harm to the country, he would be killed out of basic morality.

It's just that Zhu Houzhao hasn't felt the excited atmosphere.

kill,
Sometimes it is good to use.

The little girl found His Highness's words profound and difficult to understand.

But it matched the image of His Highness she had imagined.She felt that His Highness should think about many things that are difficult for ordinary people to think about.

"Hold on."

"What are you waiting for, Your Highness?"

"Of course I'm waiting to eat fish."

When it rains, the fish will float up.

Qiuyun felt that since she didn't understand, she shouldn't think about it. This is not something she should consider. It's better to serve the tea.

Her hands were as smooth as cream, and her voice was as clear as a nightingale.

"Is there any tea you would like to drink, Your Highness?"

"It's lighter. I don't like strong tea."

All these requirements are achievable.Qiu Yun memorized them one by one, thinking in her heart that according to His Highness's preference, she might as well adjust some flavors, if it can drink more smoothly, that would be good.

It was raining harder outside. It was pattering earlier, but now it is gradually turning to pouring.

It stands to reason that the northern region should not have such a heavy rain in this season.

But this agricultural country is always full of disasters, and the frequency of abnormal phenomena has almost become normal.

In this way, Zhu Houzhao couldn't get out even more, so he could only wander back and forth in the hall.

Soon after, Liu Jin came back, followed by several young eunuchs.They were all drenched in water, they only protected a big box, not daring to expose half of the gap.

"Hurry up! If the prince is hungry, I won't get well, and you don't even want to have good fruit!"

You can see Liu Jin's behavior from a distance,
In fact, Zhu Hou took care of it and was a little frowning.Even if it is the inherent impression of reading history, it is difficult for him to have a good impression of Liu Jin.

But people like Liu Jin who can leave a name in history are not useless at all.At least it's good to know how to look at faces, be smart, and be able to do things.

"Your Highness, Your Highness. Here comes the fish."

Zhu Hou took care of him and got half of his body wet, and his pants were all wet.

"Come in and put it away. Also, give me some rewards. It's all hard work."

Liu Jin beckoned the eunuchs to kneel down, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

After that, they were all blown away so as not to disturb the crown prince's dinner here. They all looked like soaked rats. Wouldn't it be an eyesore for the crown prince to see them?

"Liu Jin, you serve me very hard, I know it. There should be more people like you in the palace."

Liu Jin was praised, so she naturally smiled, "My servant has been with His Highness since I was a child, and now I feel uncomfortable not seeing His Highness for a day. If His Highness is hungry or tired, my servant will naturally take care of him."

"Well, he is a down-to-earth person. Unlike Li Guang, he has caused some troubles, which is a headache."

Liu Jin's heart skipped a beat when he heard that,

He just sent a message over, saying that with his kind words, the Crown Prince would not do anything to Eunuch Li, which meant nothing more than to ask Eunuch Li to remember his kindness,
Why has the prince's talk changed again now?
How can this be good?

Originally, the crown prince will not do anything, this word can be passed on.Because since nothing would happen, Eunuch Li just stood still, and no one knew about it, and he, Liu Jin, had sold his favor for nothing.

But what will happen to the prince, this word cannot be passed on.Because of the instinct of self-preservation, Li Guang will definitely take action, and there is a high possibility that he will come to the prince to intercede, and it is self-evident who leaked the news at that time.

But what about not passing it on?The crown prince really went to His Majesty to ask Li Guang to be punished for his crime. Wouldn't Li Guang want to turn around and make fun of him, Liu Jin, who spread the news?

Liu Jin is also a smart person, but after thinking about it like this, he suddenly felt his scalp go numb.This is a very difficult choice, either to keep the trust in the prince's heart, but it will offend Li Guang, or to make friends with Li Guang, but it may be blamed by the prince.

At this time, when he saw the prince leisurely eating the delicious fish, he felt a little unfathomable in his heart!
What a bad thing.In the end, it was Wang Jia who provoked it, so he had nothing to say to the crown prince about Li Guang!
