The rules of the royal palace are similar to those of the imperial palace. Apart from several main halls, they are also connected by large palace groups, with main entrances and side doors. They are covered with red walls and yellow tiles all the way, and the layouts seem to be similar.

There are streets paved with square bricks between the buildings, and no flowers, plants and trees are planted.

Entering from the side door, there are veranda and tall houses on both sides, and there are two huge copper cylinders for fire protection in the patio.

After Zhou was married into the royal palace, the girl liked flowers and plants. Many flowers and trees were planted in the courtyard. It bloomed in summer, which was also eye-catching. There was a faint fragrance of flowers lingering between people's noses. In addition to the fragrance of flowers and pleasant scenery, there was also a princess named Zhou who was rushing out to greet the figure of King Xin after hearing the news.

King Xin showed a sincere smile on his face. Later, he had many concubines, including Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan, but his relationship with Zhou had never changed.

King Xin believed that he and Zhou were married to each other in distress, and were threatened by Wei Zhongxian when he was the prince.

God is pitiful, Wei Zhongxian has no intention or courage to touch a crown prince.

The young couple, Zhou's character is indeed excellent. With a pretty good appearance, the passionate love between King Xin and the princess burst into between.

"I welcome the prince back to his house."

The princess also had a sincere smile on her face. When she married into the royal palace, she was unfamiliar with her relatives. The closest relatives were couples who lived day and night. The girl easily placed all her energy on the King of Xin alone.

"What are you doing in the mansion to pass the time?" asked King Xin, "Don't always do your embroidery. I know you are doing it, but it hurts your eyes after a long time. The back garden has been pretty good recently. You can go for more and walk around and feel much better."

Speaking of this, King Xin was a little sorry, and then said, "The Zhonghai and Nanhai are both very cool. Today I went to Nanhaizi to meet the emperor's brother. I felt very refreshed. There were lakes and trees all around, and the heat was gone. I didn't sweat a drop there. If possible, I really want to take you there. Well, even if it's not Nanhaizi, it wouldn't be bad to go to Jingshan..."

"I don't care." Zhou smiled with a pursed lips. Of course, she had already been to the places that King Xin said. Her sister-in-law, Queen Zhang, was a very careful person, and was kind and polite to others. She had summoned Zhou several times, and was gentle and polite, and took Zhou to visit the harem.

Zhou could feel the mood of King Xin. His young husband was like an ordinary young man. Once he fell in love with a woman, he would treat him wholeheartedly. King Xin undoubtedly wanted to give him the best, but it was not suitable to say this.

Zhou stopped King Xin's words in time. King Xin himself also realized it and said with a smile: "But I forgot that the emperor's sister-in-law has taken you to play... I have something to say with my partner Cao, and I will go and find you later."

"Yes, I'm waiting for the prince."

Zhou knew that King Xin would always have important matters, and he told Cao Huachun and several confidant eunuchs that Zhou did not understand very well. Her identity also made her remember that she should not be involved in these foreign affairs, so she smiled obediently, bowed and then stepped down.

King Xin nodded with satisfaction. It is true that Zhou was born into a small family, but his personality is really excellent. He remembers many things immediately after a little mention of them, and will never make the same mistake again.

When I entered the north house with Cao Huachun, the doors and windows of the house were wide open, and the wind was constantly blowing on people's body, making people feel a burst of coolness.

The grounds were made of gold tiles made by Su, but they were actually polished floor tiles. They were indeed unique in technology. At that time, only Suzhou could build them, and a large amount of tribute was paid to the capital and lay them on the grounds of the imperial palace and the royal palace.

King Xin sat in the middle of the rosewood ring chair in the middle, and half-tilted it comfortably. Cao Huachun did not ask other eunuchs to help him. He helped King Xin take off his boots and put on his shoes. Then King Xin sat down and started eating sour plum drinks.

"Is the matter done?"

"It's done." Cao Huachun said: "Several scholars from other places said they would leave Beijing and return to their hometowns for the time being. Today's incident is too big, and the news is too loud and it is easy to get into trouble. I also agree with what they said: After returning home, be cautious in the countryside and safety is guaranteed."

"Have you found out what news did you find with them?"

"They insisted that they were righteous indignation."

King Xin stopped cooking, smiled on his face, nodded and said, "Sure enough, people in the world still have a righteous heart. I was not wrong. Well, this makes me happy."

Cao Huachun was deeply suspicious of this. He had seen those testimonies. The outsiders were all fools and could not say a few words. Li Mengchen and Wang Zhengzhi were obviously people of fame and fortune. How could they offend such a powerful, means and forceful business for the sake of illusory things?

This is not a good thing to compete for territory when you are a gentry in the countryside. Everyone is competing for it. What are the benefits of making such a fuss in front of Hutchison’s door besides gaining some false reputation?

Is there really someone so stupid?

There is no doubt that there are still some people behind these people, and they have a large background. It is very likely that there are high-ranking officials among civil officials, and there may also be nobles and powerful eunuchs behind the scenes.

Hutchison's wealth is too tempting, and Cao Huachun sometimes can't help but be moved. But now he is just an official in the royal palace, very close to real power, but this distance seems very close, but every step is thorny. Not only do he believe in the king, he must be cautious, but he, the official in the royal palace, needs this even more.

Cao Huachun felt that what happened today was just a test, and he looked at Hutchison's attitude and reaction.

From the current point of view, Hutchison's reaction has not exceeded his imagination, so there should be no big trouble.

After all, there is no real strong support in the officialdom of Hutchison in the capital, and no eunuch in the palace or cabinet master is his real backer.

The power of Hutchison seems to have always ignored internal operations. Li Guobin is a top figure in the capital. The mansions of various nobles and eunuchs regard him as guests of honor, but he has never formed a real ally. This is called Cao Huachun, who feels very unwise.

Of course, Cao Huachun's experience and identity are completely unthinkable. Li Guobin's behavior was entirely due to Zhang Han's instruction. As for why he did not establish an effective network of relationships in the Ming Dynasty's power center, this was of course due to Zhang Han's longer-term considerations.

King Xin said with great interest: "Have you given them Cheng Yi that I gave to them?"

"I gave it to you, each person will give you 20 taels, a total of 100 taels." Cao Huachun said: "They are all poor students. After receiving such a lot of help, they are very grateful. I have never stated my identity, but I have recorded their hometowns and names."

"You did a good job in this matter." King Xin was extremely pleased. He felt that these juren who dared to come forward to expose the darkness were all hopes for the future of the Ming Dynasty.

After studying for a few years, I felt that the world's affairs were the most reliable for scholars. It is good for internal officials to be domestic slaves, and national affairs, especially the current various internal officials who send military supervisors to do nothing but bad things.

As for taxation supervision and mining supervision, the income that the disabled people have increased to the inner court and the country's insufficient national use, shouldn't they be distributed?

At this point, King Xin felt that his grandfather was too stupid and kept his wealth in his dying state. What's the use?

The emperor regards mountains and rivers as his home, and every grass and tree belongs to the emperor. Why do you have to pay too much attention to the gold?

After the collapse of the Shenzong Mountain Mausoleum, he actually buried a large amount of horse hoof gold together. King Xin felt a little embarrassed when he thought about it.

"I went to the palace today and I got the news." Cao Huachun's work was done very well, but King Xin was humble.

"Is it true that Zhang Han's victory in Chahar is successful?"

Cao Huachun heard it more than once on the road today, but he still felt unbelievable at this moment.

King Xin looked solemn and said, "The emperor summoned the cabinet ministers and our soldiers, of course, to discuss the case of Zhang Han and his troops capturing the Chahar area and capturing Lin Dankhan."

"Are Lin Danhan captured?" Cao Huachun was sure to get the first-hand news at this time, but he still felt unbelievable.

"This is the strongest tribe and the largest communist Khan of the Northern Territory." Cao Huachun murmured: "It is much higher than the Shunyi King of Tumote. The Ming Dynasty never thought of recruiting the Chahar tribe. Unexpectedly, he asked a merchant to take the people to pacify."

Cao Huachun suddenly woke up and quickly continued: "Zhang Han's behavior is so arrogant and bold, his unofficial heart is obvious, and his servant is indignant!"

King Xin was so impressed that he didn't mind Cao Huachun's words at the beginning.

But King Xin himself was also shocked. For more than 200 years, the Ming Dynasty had regarded the Northern Territories as their biggest enemy, whether it was the earlier Wei Lats, their Yeshen Taishi, or the later little prince, namely Dayan Khan, and Altan Khan and Tumen Khan who came down.

There are also Subahai, Fire Lou Chi, and Fried Flowers, all of which are famous for their time.

Over the past 200 years, the Northern Barbarians have entered the country for many times. The Nine Borders have raised millions of soldiers, which has dragged the Ming Dynasty's financial system. Why did it come? It's not that the Northern Barbarians have too great a threat, so they have to tighten their pants and bring them to raise soldiers and prepare for borders.

Such a powerful enemy has always given people the impression that he is the enemy of life and death of the Ming Dynasty.

Who would have expected that in the past ten years, a Jurchen first came out, repeatedly defeating the main force of the Ming Dynasty, ruining hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the border in Liaodong, and threatening the closure of the door at one time. The next step was to threaten the capital.

This is something that the Northern Lu did not do. Since the Mutual Rebellion, the Nine Countries of the Ming Dynasty have gradually been established. A large number of defensive projects cooperate with recruiting troops. The Northern Lu can break through, but like the Eastern Lu, they want to wipe out more than 100,000 Ming troops in one battle and kill high-ranking civil and military officials, including senior civil and generals. The Northern Lu has never done it in two hundred years.

Now it seems that the Northern Barbarians have long become paper tigers, and after the Eastern Barbarians, another peacekeeping story has been launched!

"Now it seems that Hutchison has become a major concern for my Ming Dynasty." King Xin pounded the table with hatred, and his face turned pale with anger.

"Have the emperor ever said how to handle it?" Cao Huachun asked carefully. This topic is still a bit taboo. Those who are eunuchs must not be ignorant of military and political affairs. They cannot become the most trustworthy confidant in the emperor's heart, but they cannot show too much enthusiasm, which will also arouse fear and guard against the superiors.

"What should I do?" King Xin said with obvious dissatisfaction: "I still have to continue to tolerate it. I don't quite understand what the emperor is afraid of?"
