Chapter 628 Palace Internal Affairs
There is no need for Zhu Biao to think about the Tian family's selfless affairs. Tomorrow morning, there will be a censor to impeach Li Yan for being rude and inappropriate. Hu Weiyong, but it's always bad to spread the word.
It is inevitable that there are military officials from the regular department who are fanning the flames. After all, according to the current situation, although the status of the crown princess is stable, who can say for sure?
Even if it’s a rainy day, it’s always right to suppress the only girl in the East Palace who can pose a slight threat to the princess, Li’s daughter, anyway, she’s idle anyway.
The two of them undressed and went to the couch, the bedding was warm with lingering fragrance, and Zhu Biao's body, which had been sitting stiffly in the Jinshen Hall for a whole day, finally relaxed in a rare way.
"Be quiet these days, choose a refreshing day, I will take you to Zijin Mountain for an outing, if you have any boudoir friends in Beijing, you can call them, it's rare to have a lively time."
Li Yan beamed, everyone knew about Zijin Mountain outing, but until now, I only heard that the Crown Princess had sent posts to some friends, but I hadn’t heard of other people being so respectable.
Li Yan's smile didn't last long before she stopped, looked at Zhu Biao with some hesitation, and said angrily: "The concubine's friends are not many in Beijing, and they are all married. Don't count on concubines."
Zhu Biao said helplessly: "Don't slander the reputation of the palace out of thin air, let them bring your husband and son-in-law with you once you have a family, can you feel at ease now?"
Li Yan leaned contentedly in Zhu Biao's arms. She didn't want to share her man with her friends. If she could, she actually didn't want to share it with anyone.
Zhu Biao was a little agitated by it, but he still restrained it. He has been so exhausted for several days. If he still indulges in excess at night, he will hurt his roots, and he will take care of himself.
Li Yan wanted to be intimate. After all, there were three women in the East Palace who were pregnant, and Chang Luohua Nuanyu was fine. After all, she was one step ahead of her, but the Korean woman also conceived children earlier than her. It is really unbearable .
However, Li Yan still felt sorry for Zhu Biao's body. After adjusting her position, she stopped acting coquettishly and closed her eyes obediently.

"The ministers and others see His Royal Highness, Your Highness is safe forever!"
"All the ministers are exempt from courtesy."
After the simple etiquette, a new day of morning court began again. Zhu Biao found that the military generals in the back looked like they hadn't sobered up. Yi Zhubiao had to punish them severely.
The state of the civil servants was very uniform, their complexions were sallow and their eyes were dull. If they hadn't stood up, they might have fallen asleep. This is because Zhu Biao postponed his morning court for half an hour.
The Guozijian of the Hanlin Academy is a little better. The officials of the Ministry of Education and the six ministries probably only sleep for two or three hours every night recently.
After the Ministry of Rites finished the report, Zhu Biao told Liu Jin who was under the imperial steps: "Go and move some chairs and stools, and let Song Master Hu Xiang Zhang Yushi sit down and rest for a while."
Several people hurriedly cheered up and declined, Song Lian said: "Since the founding of this dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a minister to sit down in Fengtian Hall. Ministers and other people with meager virtues will never dare to be the first in the world."
Lao Tzu once said that I have three treasures, which I keep and protect. The first is compassion, the second is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world. Compassion leads to courage, thrift makes it broad, and daring not to be the first in the world makes it possible to become a leader.
After the duet, several people were still standing, but the civil servants were much more energetic, and there was some excitement on their faces. His Royal Highness, benevolent, they finally have something to look forward to.
The early court came to an end soon, and the shortage of court officials meant that power was more concentrated in the hands of the remaining officials. In this way, there were fewer prevarications, and efficiency was forced to increase.
It’s just that Zhao Liyan, the imperial historian before the end, came forward to impeach Li Yan’s actions yesterday, which was also within Zhu Biao’s expectation, but he not only asked Zhu Biao to punish Liangdi Li Yan for rectifying the style of the palace, but also to investigate his father. Li Shanchang's crime of teaching his daughter to be incompetent.
This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many people. Li Shanchang's disciples and former officials were all over the court, and Wu Xun also owed a lot of his favors. Naturally, he felt that Zhang Guanglie was making a fuss out of nothing, and in turn began to impeach Zhao Liyan to avenge his personal revenge.
"My minister came to Beijing as an official in Hongwu four years ago. He has never met the king of Changsha. How can he talk about public avenging his personal enmity? I implore Your Highness to learn from you. I only have a public heart."
Zhongshu Sheng Pingzhang Zheng Zhao Yannian sneered: "This is a trivial matter in the palace. Your Highness or the Crown Princess can handle it by yourself. Why do you need Zhao Yushi to be angry? Isn't this to embarrass Your Highness?"
Zhongshu Youcheng Chen Liang came out and said: "I heard that Zhao Yushi served as an aide in Kaiping King's tent in the past. Could it be that this is to provoke the conflict between the two princes of the Ming Dynasty? Your Highness, this thief is very serious! "
Zhang Guanglie, the doctor of the censor, glanced coldly at Zhao Liyan, but he still came out and said: "Your Highness, I think that as long as there is something true about the censor's report, he should not be punished. This is also the original intention of the emperor to set up the censor platform. Zhao Yu Shi Qi's statement may be biased, but it is true that Li Liangdi was at fault, so I beseech Your Highness to learn from it."
Zhu Biao's eyes fell on Hu Weiyong: "What does Prime Minister Hu think?"
Hu Weiyong coughed weakly and bowed a few times: "I think this matter should be decided by the empress empress. The empress Fengjia accompanied the saint on the north tour. Before leaving the palace, she entrusted the matter of Fengyin and co-management of the six palaces to Her Royal Highness the crown princess. It is appropriate for the Crown Princess to dispose of it."
Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction and said: "What Prime Minister Hu said is true, the Crown Princess punished Li Liangdi to kneel in front of Chengqian Palace yesterday, and ordered her to write the female commandment to repent, the Crown Princess is gentle, courteous, thrifty and worthy of her father, queen and queen Believe it heavily, it is also a blessing for the clan and the country to have this virtuous wife in my palace."
As soon as this remark came out, the regular officials who wanted to take the opportunity to continue to make trouble were all satisfied, and then looked at the deflated expressions of Chen Liang and others, so they accepted it as soon as they saw it. Isn't the plan to let the Li family girl have no chance to overwhelm the princess? .
The words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only expressed his own meaning, but also drew the attention of the Holy Majesty and the Empress, and endorsed the Crown Princess again in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. It can be seen that there will be no abolition anyway.
Many of Li Shanchang's protégés and old officials sighed in their hearts. After all, Li Xiang, who had lost his position, was no match for Chang Shuai, who could command 100,000 soldiers to rule the world. cornerstone.
Zhu Biao was also very satisfied with the changes in the expressions of the people below. He never thought of changing his concubine from the beginning to the end. Although Chang Luohua didn't love him as much as Li Yan, it was just right.
Wisdom is bound to be hurt, love is deep and lifeless, strong is humiliating, and a calm and restrained mind is required to be in such a high position. Love is an adjustment of life rather than a necessary demand. Zhu Biao does not need to love his woman more. But he must need an intelligent woman to help him manage the harem and balance the front court.
And at this time, he really needs a relatively reassuring invincible commander to sit in the capital camp. Although people are unpredictable, Chang Yuchun has reached this position. So far in life, what can I ask for?
If it is necessary to seize power and usurp the throne in this way, it will be untenable from a legal point of view. What's more, Chang Yuchun's military administration was brutal in the past, and he once massacred cities and prisoners.
Moreover, Zhu Biao was relying on Chang Yuchun to check and balance the martial arts outside, but relatively speaking, Xu Datang, Feng Sheng and others were also helping him to check and balance Chang Yuchun, and they also had the imperial guards as a defense.
So unless Chang Yuchun is crazy and determined to burn everything together and pass on this great fortune to outsiders to his grandson, otherwise there is no reason to rebel. This is why Zhu Biao deliberately endorsed Chang Luohua today.
