Chapter 17 Say something!
  "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Prince Lu is here."

When he heard that his only younger brother was coming, Zhu Yijun finally showed a heartfelt smile. He quickly put down his brush and said, "Please come in, my brother!"

Not long after, a young man wearing a brown python robe walked into the hall.

The sixteen-year-old prince's walk was not as upright and rigid as his elder brother Zhu Yijun's. Although his steps were more casual, they were not out of place and seemed more free and easy.

"My brother, please give my regards to the emperor." Zhu Yixuan just raised his hand casually, but his eyes wandered around and glanced around, but none of them was focused on his brother.

Zhu Yijun didn't mean to blame Zhu Yili. Instead, he came forward with a smile and said: "Why do you have time to see me? Do you have no money to spend?"

"Look at what you said, am I that kind of person? I miss you, brother, don't you?" Zhu Yixi asked with a smile. After his eyes caught a glimpse of the calligraphy on the dragon case, he suddenly smiled inexplicably: "Brother Huang, again I’m practicing calligraphy.”

Zhu Yijun nodded and seemed to be feeling a little emotional: "I practice when I have nothing to do, but I can't find the feeling I had before."

This time Zhu Yili didn't say anything. He just paced back and forth, hesitating to speak, looking very confused.

"Just tell me what you have to say. Seeing how you are holding it back, I feel more uncomfortable than you." Zhu Yijun shook his head helplessly and said with a smile. He knew Zhu Yili very well. Every time this younger brother took the initiative to come to him, he must have something to ask of him.

Zhu Yijun didn't care. Even without Empress Dowager Li's brainwashing teachings year after year, he would do his best to love his only brother of the same mother.

"In that case, I would like to thank the emperor first!" Seeing that his brother had seen through his thoughts, Zhu Yiliu did not hide it at the moment. He bowed in a rare and serious manner:
  "It's like this. I want to go to Jiangling, Huguang, so that I can take care of your worries about raiding the Zhang family."

……

Wenhua Hall.

When Shen Shixing returned to the Wenhua Palace carrying the carp, the palace lanterns for illumination had already been lit and hung up by the little flamers in the palace.

What surprised Shen Shixing was that Xu Guo, who should have gone home long ago, was still here.

"Mr. Ge is back." Xu Guo saw Shen Shixing coming back and hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Weizhen, why are you calling me that again? You've said it so many times, you don't have to be polite to me in private." Shen Shixing's tone was slightly reproachful.

"Look at my memory. It's my fault. It's my fault." Xu Guo patted his head in annoyance. After seeing the carp held by Shen Shixing, his eyes suddenly became hot: "Rumo, Your Majesty. I’ve rewarded you with something again!”

"Well, the Holy Grace is so great, I can't thank you enough." Shen Shixing replied with a smile as he put the dancing carp into a blue and white porcelain jar next to his desk.

The fish got rid of the shackles of the straw rope and swam freely in the water. It thought it was finally free.

What it didn't know was that it just jumped from the grass rope that seemed to be tightly tied to him to another small tank that seemed to be wider, but in fact it could never swim out.

This blue and white porcelain vat was also gifted to Shen Shixing by Emperor Zhu Yijun. Shen Shixing would change and refill the blue and white porcelain vat every day without stopping.

Shen Shixing also didn't expect that one day he would be able to use the tank given by the emperor to raise the fish given by the emperor.

"Rumo, you still have the emperor's favor." Xu Guo's eyes were filled with envy.

"The emperor is kind and cares about the relationship between teachers and students." Shen Shixing smiled and sat back in his seat. He still had the four words of "bestowment" given to him by the emperor in his sleeves, but he did not take them out. "By the way, why haven't you gone back yet?" Shen Shixing asked.

"I almost forgot, look at my memory." Xu Guo said and returned to his desk. After rummaging through it, he found two memorials, showed them to Shen Shixing and said at the same time:
  "There are two memorials here. One is a risk-and-death protest by Dong Ji, the head of the Guangxi Department of the Ministry of Punishment, and it is related to the emperor's training of eunuchs in the inner court.

The other one was sent by Pan Jixun, the Minister of Punishment, personally not long ago. You were not around at the time, so he gave it to me. This memorial is related to Zhang Juzheng, please take a look. "

"Okay, let me take a look." Shen Shixing accepted the memorial from Xu Guodian, but did not open it immediately and read it. Instead, he yawned and rubbed his eyes, looking as if he was extremely tired but still had to work hard to deal with official matters. .

Seeing this, Xu Guo couldn't help but persuade him: "Rumo, you are still young, you should take care of your health."

"It doesn't matter, I can still hold on." Shen Shixing wiped the tears secreted from yawning. For some reason, he kept yawning, and the tears flowed down like real tears, and he couldn't even wipe them away. Can't finish wiping.

Xu Guo, who was standing aside, was a little embarrassed. Although he knew that Shen Shixing shed tears because of yawning, this situation gave him the uncomfortable feeling that Shen Shixing was crying at him.

Xu felt that waiting was too painful, so Xu Guo read the contents of these two memorials directly to Shen Shixing:
  "Dong Ji's memorial is a dead remonstrance. He said that the inner court is a place of purity and strictness. If three thousand eunuchs gather for training, there may be trouble, and there is a risk that someone with evil intentions may put the emperor's safety in danger.

These eunuchs have lived in peace and good food for many years, and they are all weak-minded people. Under the years of cold and heat drills, it is very likely that they will develop a resentful heart. With three thousand resentful people in the inner court, the danger is very high.

And since the emperor's inner court training, the gold and silver rewarded to the eunuchs has exceeded 20,000 taels. If this continues for a long time, financial resources will definitely be overwhelmed, and useful money will be wasted on useless places.

This is the content of Dong Ji's death remonstrance. Although everything he said is reasonable, if this memorial was presented to the emperor, the emperor would definitely be furious.

By the way, when Pan Jixun came just now, I tested him. Although Dong Ji was the head of the Ministry of Punishment, he wrote this memorial, and Pan Jixun, the Minister of Punishment, had no idea. "

Xu Guo's last words can be said to be inexplicable. The relationship between him and Shen Shixing is far from close enough to help Shen Shixing 'test' people. Especially the person he tested was Pan Jixun, who was closer to Shen Shixing.

Shen Shixing no longer yawned, rubbed his tears, or spoke. He just held his forehead with his palm and rubbed it gently.

Seeing that Shen Shixing was still listening, Xu Guo continued to talk about the content of the second memorial:

"The content of Pan Jixun's memorial is to plead for Zhang Juzheng's family. He asked the emperor to forgive the Zhang family and give the Zhang family good land for Zhang Juzheng's mother to take care of in her old age.

Rumo, I think the content of Dong Ji's death remonstrance is enough to make Emperor Long Yan furious. If Pan Jixun's memorial is presented at this time, the Emperor will definitely be furious.

When the emperor becomes angry, not only will Dong Ji be dismissed from his post as a civilian, Pan Jixun will not be able to escape, so what do you think should be done? "

Xu Guo finished asking, but Shen Shixing was still rubbing his forehead slowly with his palms and didn't answer for a long time.

Xu Guo was a little unhappy now. He reached out and patted Shen Shixing: "Rumo, please say something!"

Xu Guo actually didn't use much force in this shot, but Shen Shixing felt as if he had been frightened out of a nap, and his whole body shook suddenly!
  He looked at Xu Guo, his tired eyes filled with confusion: "Ah? What did you just say?"

Xu Guo:?
