The cabinet chief, Liu Jian, saw that the Eight Tiger Gang had been executed and could not help but feel refreshed and refreshed.
Even his walking became much lighter.
Grand Scholar Jiao Fang followed behind him, and the two of them spoke with each other.
"Elder, although His Majesty is still young, he is still very young.”
"But his thunderous methods are amazing.”
"Hahaha."
The pavilion elder was very happy, his chin almost reaching the sky.
"Of course."
"The Eight Tiger Gang is under the law. Lord Wang Shouren will personally go to Liaodong to deal with the disaster.”
"Your Majesty is decisive in killing, and you have a discerning eye when it comes to employing people.”
"This move is to shock the tiger."
"It's really high!"
Grand Secretary Jiao Fang kept nodding.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"You're right, Grand Elder."
"When His Majesty received the news from the West Hall, he could have ordered the Rain Governor to kill him.”
"But His Majesty did order the West Chamber to intercept the silver and the East Chamber to search the mansion.”
"So that the Eunuch's Eight Tigers Gang has no time to transfer the money.”
"He's meticulous and shrewd."
"We are lucky to have such a wise ruler.”
Jiao Fang and Liu Jian looked at each other and smiled.
"Come to my residence tonight. I have a ten-year-old cellar.”
"Let's have a good drink."
"To celebrate our Ming Dynasty having such a wise ruler!"
Jiao Fang saw that Liu Jian was really going all out and hurriedly agreed. The two of them walked out of the Meridian Gate while talking and laughing.
……
Yangxin Palace Hall.
Zhu Houzhao took off his dragon robe and was dressed in a loose white robe. His hair was combed into a bun and tied up with a sour pear branch.
A few strands of hair fell down from his forehead. He was barefooted, and compared to the valiant and heroic figure in the imperial court, he looked a little more lazy and undisciplined.
Eunuch Gao walked in with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty."
"It's time to eat."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and put down the memorial in his hand.
Eunuch Gao nodded. A few palace maids entered Yangxin Palace Hall, placed the dishes on the table, and left.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Zhu Houzhao shook his head.
"Next time, tell the imperial kitchen that if I eat alone.”
"Four dishes will do. There's no need for so many dishes.”
"I can't eat it myself. It's still a waste to throw it away.”
Eunuch Gao nodded in agreement, but he couldn't help but feel a little upset.
The eight dishes on the table were considered simple for the emperor.
However, the Emperor still wanted to cut his expenses again.
And the money that the eight tigers gathered together was more than four times that of the national treasury.
It was truly shocking.
Eunuch Gao served soup to Zhu Houzhao, and the palace maids of Yangxin Hall also retreated to the outside to wait for orders.
Only Li Linglong and Eunuch Gao were by his side.
"You two, sit down and eat together.”
As Zhu Houzhao spoke, Eunuch Gao and Li Linglong fell to their knees in shock.
"Your Majesty."
"You mustn't."
"How dare this humble servant sit on equal footing with Your Majesty?”
The two of them knelt on the ground, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Zhu Houzhao looked helpless.
“……”
"I don't mean anything else. I can't finish it myself.”
"It's a waste to throw it away."
After saying this, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, the scene in the throne room was still vivid in his mind.
Eunuch Gao didn't dare to sit down and eat together.
After all, he had served the Emperor for so many years, and he was not an ordinary person.
However, Li Linglong looked at the food on the table and swallowed her saliva.
Only when he became a historian did he know.
His daily routine was the same as the emperor's. He basically did not sleep last night and was already starving.
Then, he asked tentatively.
"Your Majesty."
"Can I really sit down and eat?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled and nodded.
Li Linglong immediately smiled. She had never eaten such good food before and did not know where to start.
Eunuch Gao served him from the side, and Zhu Houzhao himself was almost done eating.
His expression changed as he looked at Li Linglong, who was eating in big mouthfuls.
"Do you think I was too cruel in the throne room just now?”
Eunuch Gao was very intelligent, and he instantly understood the Emperor's meaning.
The harem could not interfere in politics, let alone a historian.
However, His Majesty had asked the historian such a question.
There was no other reason.
All because of this historian Li Linglong!
It was the person the Empress Dowager had given to the Emperor.
Li Linglong's reaction represented the Empress Dowager.
He was also testing if the Empress Dowager had any intention of interfering with the Emperor.
When Li Linglong heard that, she stopped her chopsticks in mid-air.
He hurriedly put down his chopsticks and swallowed the food in his mouth. He wiped his mouth with his hand and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty's intentions."
"I dare not speculate."
"Although I am stupid, I still understand one thing.”
"Your Majesty, everything you do is for the sake of the country.”
Zhu Houzhao nodded his head lightly.
Eunuch Gao also breathed a sigh of relief, but he was secretly worried for this girl.
"You are the person the Empress Dowager gave to me."
"If you tell the truth, zhen won't do anything to you.”
Li Linglong kowtowed to the ground.
"This subject is someone close to Your Majesty."
"The Empress Dowager has raised me, so I dare not forget.”
"But now…"
"Since I'm working by His Majesty's side, I should follow His Majesty's orders.”
Zhu Houzhao's gaze finally eased up, and a faint smile hung on his face.
His action was to test Li Linglong's attitude towards the Empress Dowager.
If you only respect the Empress Dowager, you don't respect the Son of Heaven.
Then there was no need for this person to stay.
However, Li Linglong's answer did not forget the Empress Dowager's kindness in raising her.
He also expressed his stance.
Ling Long's name was well-deserved.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and stood up.
"Look at how scared you are."
"Hurry up and eat."
Li Linglong nodded and finished all the food on the table like a whirlwind.
After tidying up everything, a young eunuch reported from outside the door.
Cao Zhengchun asked to see him.
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, indicating for him to come in.
"I am."
"Cao Zhengchun greets Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao leaned against the dragon bed, squinting his eyes.
"I'm sending you and Wang Shouren to Liaodong to relieve the disaster.”
"Protect Wang Shouren."
"I am."
"Yes."
"You've been distracted by me for the past two days.”
"I'll give you a hundred taels of gold."
"A jade artifact."
"Go to the Internal Affairs Office to receive your reward."
"I am."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cao Zhengchun kneeled on the ground, his heart filled with joy.
"You may leave."
After Cao Zhengchun left, Zhu Houzhao stretched.
"Let's go."
"Go to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility."
