Zhu Houzhao was resting on the dragon bed when Liu Jian's sudden shout woke him up.
Who is shouting in front of Yangxin Palace Hall?"
Eunuch Gao looked at the drowsy Zhu Houzhao and laughed dryly.
"It's Grand Secretary Liu."
Zhu Houzhao sighed, got up, and stretched his body, muttering to himself.
"Grand Secretary Liu, Chief Assistant Liu."
"Interesting."
"Summon him in."
Eunuch Gao nodded and left Yangxin Hall.
"Grand Secretary Liu."
"His Majesty wants you to go in."
Liu Jian nodded and strode towards Yangxin Palace Hall.
"I am Liu Jian."
"I've come to apologize to Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao leaned against the dragon bed with a smile on his face.
"What crime has Grand Secretary Liu committed?"
"Do you still need to report to me personally?"
Liu Jian buried his head in the ground, not daring to raise it.
"Your Majesty."
"As the chief assistant of the cabinet, I have the responsibility of supervising the talents of the officials.”
"Now, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel is actually using his position to seek benefits.”
"I failed to supervise properly. Your Majesty, please punish me!”
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows. His heart was as clear as a mirror, but he still had to continue acting.
"The matter of the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel selling his official position."
"How did you know?"
Liu Jian immediately understood the Emperor's meaning.
This was to see if he would ask the East Hall for help.
He wanted to see if he could pull down his face.
"I asked Supervisor Cao of the East Chamber to help me check on Li Chengfan.”
"This is the Impermanence Book handed over by Supervisor Cao's subordinate and the witness 'statement.”
"Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Eunuch Gao took it and placed it on the dragon table.
Zhu Houzhao flipped through it briefly and threw it aside.
"Where is Li Chengfan now?"
When Liu Jian heard this, he quickly turned around and replied.
"Your Majesty."
"Currently, Li Chengfan is still in the manor, guarded by the East Chamber's secret agents.”
Zhu Houzhao nodded and stretched his neck.
"Alright."
"Get up."
"Although you are guilty, it is not your fault.”
Liu Jian knelt on the ground with his head lowered, still not daring to raise his head.
"I am."
"Fear."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jian and couldn't help but laugh.
"Grand Secretary Liu, get up."
"I just want to see if you take my beating to heart.”
"It seems that the effect is not bad.”
After Liu Jian heard this, he stood up shakily.
"Zhen has long discovered the problem of the Ministry of Personnel's selection of officials.”
"It's just that I didn't have the time to rectify the Jurchen matter.”
"Now, the Jurchen are at peace."
"It is time to reorganize the Imperial Court."
As Zhu Houzhao spoke, he looked at the list of people recommended by the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs and threw it on the ground.
"Don't move Li Chengfan."
"Tomorrow morning."
"I want to make an example out of him!"
When Liu Jian heard this, he thought that they were trying to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!
After such a long time, His Majesty's temperament was more or less understood.
He was smiling on the surface, making it hard to tell what he was really thinking.
However, when they fought, their methods were vicious and merciless!
He was afraid that tomorrow, blood would be spilled in the court again!
……
In the evening, Zhu Houzhao went to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.
"Your son."
"Greetings, mother."
"There is no need for the emperor to be so polite.”
"Thank you, mother."
Empress Dowager Zhang looked behind Zhu Houzhao. Only Eunuch Gao and Li Linglong followed.
Shangguan Haitang and Wu Qing didn't follow him, so they were puzzled.
"Why aren't those two girls here?"
Zhu Houzhao sat down, picked up a piece of snack, and put it into his mouth.
"The two of them went to the imperial garden. Zhen didn't call them.”
Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Houzhao with an understanding expression.
"The late emperor's mourning period is about to pass.”
"This widow has chosen a few for you.”
"You can make your own choice."
Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to look at it and waved his hand.
"Queen Mother will make the decision."
Empress Dowager Zhang gently patted Zhu Houzhao's hand, her face full of love.
"Wan 'er is naturally the most important."
"The others are also descendants of the Ming Dynasty's loyal soldiers. They are also worthy of you.”
"When do you plan to marry those two girls and Linglong?”
Zhu Houzhao felt helpless at the question, and Li Linglong, who was behind him, also looked embarrassed.
"I've asked someone to feel Linglong's bones since she was young.”
"The fortune-teller said that he has a noble aura.”
"It'll definitely be easy to give birth."
Li Linglong's face was flushed red, and Eunuch Gao couldn't help but smile.
Zhu Houzhao felt extremely helpless.
"Mother."
"Can you give me some other advice…"
Empress Dowager Zhang clicked her tongue a few times and smiled evilly.
"Aijia is already so old."
"What else can I mention?"
"I just hope that you can quickly spread the branches and leaves of the Zhu family.”
"Alright."
"Aijia won't mention Ling Long."
"This widow thinks highly of that girl called Shangguan Hai Tang.”
"Goose oval face, willow waist."
"I will definitely be able to give birth to a prince."
"As for Wu Qing, although her legs are crippled, she is still a good girl.”
"But if you like it, this widow has no objections.”
"But that girl, she looks like a good person and is likable.”
"It looks pretty good."
"I didn't expect you to be so lucky."
Zhu Houzhao's mentality had changed a hundred million times because of Empress Dowager Zhang.
He hurriedly bowed and used the matter of the court as an excuse to run away.
Today, Zhu Houzhao had to rest well.
In the court tomorrow.
It was going to turn the world upside down!
