Chapter 270 Urgent, Urgent
Prince Yu’s Mansion.
After hearing the news that Hai Rui went to find King Jing, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng couldn't sit still and came to the palace, both of them looking a little anxious.
Obviously they were worried that Hai Rui's reckless behavior would cause unnecessary trouble for King Yu.
So after hearing the news that Hai Rui had gone to Prince Jing's Mansion, the two of them came to Prince Yu's Mansion to see Prince Yu and prepared to discuss strategies with Prince Yu.
But when they arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion, they happened to meet Hai Rui who had returned to the Prince's Mansion to resume his life.
When Gao Gong saw Hai Rui's upright face, he became furious, "Hai Gangfeng, are you crazy? Why did you go to Prince Jing's Mansion? Isn't that right? Are you causing trouble for the prince?"
Although Zhang Juzheng didn't speak, his eyes spoke volumes. He also looked at Hai Rui questioningly.
Hai Rui looked at Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's attitude of raising an army to accuse them, without the slightest timidity or fear.
Hai Rui bowed slightly to the two of them, "I have met Bachelor Gao and Bachelor Zhang."
Gao Gong said anxiously: "What are you seeing? If you behave like this in the future, I'll probably never see you again. Tell me quickly, why did you go to Prince Jing's Mansion?"
Just when Gao Gong asked Hai Rui again , Zhu Zaijing also came out of a small courtyard in the palace.
Zhu Zaijing said: "I asked Hai Rui to find Brother Jing Wang."
After the three heard Zhu Zaijing's voice, they quickly turned to face the man who had just appeared. Zhu Zaijing bowed, "I will pay my respects to the prince."
Zhu Zaijing waved his hand and said, "Go to the study to talk."
After hearing Zhu Zaijing's instructions, the three of them temporarily suppressed their anger and confusion, and followed Zhu Zaijing into the study.
After the four people were seated in order, Zhu Zaijing ordered Meng Chong again: "Let me watch the tea. I want to chat with the three gentlemen."
Meng Chong. After hearing the order, Chong immediately went to arrange for the servants in the mansion to serve tea.
At this time, Zhu Zaijing looked at Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Hai Rui and said, "What day is it today? Why are all three of you here? I didn't ask Meng Chong to prepare your lunch. "
Hearing that Zhu Zaijing was still joking about lunch, Gao Gong couldn't sit still. Gao Gong said: "My prince, something big happened. Hai Ruxian went to Prince Jing's Mansion. It's troublesome. Big.”
When Gao Gong was talking, he didn't forget to glare at Hai Rui, but Hai Rui remained calm as if he hadn't noticed. He still maintained a calm attitude and looked straight ahead.
Hearing Gao Gong's urgent words, Zhu Zaijing comforted him: "Mr. Gao, please be patient. Didn't I just say that I asked Hai Rui to find Brother Jing Jing?"
Gao Gong asked anxiously again: "Why do you want to find Prince Jing?"
At this time, Zhang Juzheng also turned his head and looked at Prince Yu seriously, also wanting to get Prince Yu's answer.
Zhu Zaijing looked at the attitudes of the two people and said calmly: "Of course let Hai Rui go visit Brother Jing on behalf of me. King Jing has just recovered from a serious illness. As the elder brother, I , how can you not care about your brothers? ”
Zhu Zaijing's answer also stunned Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, and they suddenly woke up at this time.
Yes, it was only natural for Zhu Zaijing to send someone to visit King Jing. They asked him like this, which obviously felt like alienating the brothers.
But fortunately, Zhu Zaijing never said such words from beginning to end. He obviously saved face for them and protected them at the same time.
If Zhu Zaijing had made it clear, then the words would have reached the ears of Emperor Jiajing. If Emperor Jiajing became sensitive to this matter, then the futures of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng might be ruined. .
So at this moment, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng also bowed to Zhu Zaijing in fear, "I made a mistake, please punish me." Zhu Zaijing looked at Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng I was surprised by such a quick reaction. If this happened to an ordinary person, it would probably take a long time to figure out the meaning behind it.
But the two of them immediately understood the deeper meaning.
This shows how terrifyingly high the minds of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are!
Zhu Zaijing said: "Now that everything has been explained clearly, let's all drink some tea and talk about business."
At this time, Meng Chong happened to be bringing the servant who was serving tea. Came in and served tea to Zhu Zaijing, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui and others.
After the three of them heard Zhu Zaijing's words, they thanked Zhu Zaijing again, then took a gentle sip and placed it on the small table beside them.
Zhu Zaijing also took a sip happily and said: "This tea tastes pretty good, doesn't it? This is the Dahongpao given by His Majesty. He only gives birth to a few taels in a year. Today, I gave birth to blood." Treat the three gentlemen. So don’t waste it.”
When they heard that this tea was the extremely precious Wuyi Mountain tribute tea Dahongpao, both Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were surprised. With his expression, even Hai Rui, who was usually stern and unsmiling, couldn't help but slightly raise his head to look at Zhu Zaijing.
The three of them never dreamed that Zhu Zaijing would be willing to entertain them with such precious tribute tea. You must know that the price of this tea is even more precious than gold in the market. Don't Speaking of ordinary people, even people like them may not see them once in their lives.
But now Zhu Zaijing served the tea like this, it was really grand.
Therefore, when Zhu Zaijing said the name of this tea, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui couldn't help but pick up the tea cup and took a careful sip to feel what this legendary tribute tea was. What a taste.
After watching the three of them take another sip, Zhu Zaijing began to formally ask questions.
Zhu Zaijing said to Hai Rui: "Hai Judi, this king asked you to go to Prince Jing's Mansion to visit Prince Jing's brother. How is he doing now?"
Hai Rui said: "Jing Everything is fine for the prince, but his body is still a little weak. The imperial doctor said that he should rest."
Zhu Zaijing nodded and said, "You should help me move around more in the future. There is no one in my palace. As a long history officer, and as the only subordinate official in this palace, I have no choice but to take responsibility for this matter.”
Hai Rui replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely shoulder the heavy responsibility and visit Prince Jing's mansion more often."
The conversation between Zhu Zaijing and Hai Rui also confused Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng. , it feels like there is something else going on here.
But when Zhu Zaijing didn’t know, it was hard for them to ask directly.
So, they could only wait quietly.
After Zhu Zaijing and Hai Rui finished speaking, they said to Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng: "It's almost the beginning of winter now. I shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the prime minister for the expansion of the capital. If I can't do it before the beginning of winter, When the construction starts, His Majesty will definitely question me for my fault,”
"So, I sent Hai Rui to Prince Jing's Mansion not only to visit Prince Jing's brother, but also for the purpose of expanding the capital. Prince Jing's brother suddenly fell ill and was unable to preside over major affairs, so His Majesty temporarily asked me to support the expansion of the capital. Responsibilities, but in the final analysis, this matter is still King Jing’s errand.”
“Now that I have been appointed by Your Majesty as the Prime Minister of the Capital Expansion, whether this errand is temporary or permanent, I also have it. It is my duty to arrange these things for Brother Jing first.”
“Hai Rui has lived up to my expectations and has explained the stakes to Brother Jing. Brother Jing is also concerned about starting work before the beginning of winter. I deeply agree. Therefore, the next thing is the important matter of the expansion of the capital."
"Originally, I wanted to wait for you to come to the palace to talk. Since you are all here today. Without waiting for the day, let’s talk about what to do after the capital expansion starts?”
