The emperor stood at the big table in the royal study room and sighed softly. Many thoughts suddenly came to his mind, but those thoughts made him feel a little suspicious.
Eunuch Zhu saw the emperor's actions from the side, and his eyes swayed slightly, but he just stood there obediently and didn't move.
But the emperor asked: "Zhu Dequan, what do you think of the second prince?"
When Eunuch Zhu heard the emperor's question, he was startled. He knew that if he answered incorrectly, the consequences would be serious, so he avoided the important and said lightly: "The appearance of the second prince today just relieved the emperor's siege. Otherwise, I would be afraid
Princess Wushuang will say a lot of unpleasant things in court today."
The emperor nodded slightly, but sighed and said: "Seeing how he is today, I always feel that I have treated him a little unfairly."
Eunuch Zhu said respectfully: "The emperor treats the second prince very well, and the second prince is also a person who follows the rules. Today the emperor asked about the second prince, and I have something to tell the emperor, but I don't know whether I should say it or not.
.”
"But it doesn't matter." The emperor said softly.
Eunuch Zhu said softly: "A few days ago, the emperor took his servant to the Hanlin Academy to find a book of miscellaneous notes. When the servant went, the second prince had already compiled the entire book and was about to send it to the emperor for review, but somehow it was lost.
There was a volume, but I searched the Hanlin Academy and couldn't find it. At that time, the director of the Hanlin Academy said that he wanted to investigate thoroughly, but the second prince said that he had lost it, so he lost it. He just compiled it again. I think the second prince has been working day and night these days.
I am editing the missing volume, so it happened to be completed today. Maybe this is the father-son fate between the emperor and the second prince!"
What he said was actually guessing the emperor's thoughts. The emperor's words were not explicit just now, but he had already heard the emperor's thoughts. He knew that the emperor was very happy that Chu Yi appeared today, but he was also worried that this was Chu Yi's deliberate attempt to find him.
opportunity.
The emperor sighed softly after hearing this, pointed at Eunuch Zhu and said, "You are a genius."
Eunuch Zhu smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."
Because of Eunuch Zhu's words, the emperor felt a lot more relaxed. He hated the prince playing tricks in front of him.
Early the next morning, Chu Yi received a piece of holy decree. In addition to granting him a marriage with Nangong Wushuang, the holy decree also asked him to take charge of the Jingji Guards.
He was quite surprised to receive this piece of holy paper. He didn't know why the emperor suddenly gave him the power of Kyojiwei. He knew very well that the official position of the leader of Kyojiwei was not high, but he had great power. He was in charge of many things.
The security of the entire capital city.
Previously, the eldest prince was in charge of the Kyoto Guard. After Su Changqing was killed, the emperor dismissed the leader of the Kyoto Guard. In the past few days, everyone was speculating on who would be the leader of the Kyoto Guard.
And this position is of vital importance, and all forces in North Korea and China hope that their own people will take over this position.
The empress and concubine De also put in a lot of thought, making insinuations and secretly preparing a lot of things. However, the result was beyond everyone's expectation. The emperor actually handed over such an important position to a second prince who had not been favored since he was a child. This
This incident aroused heated discussion among officials throughout the capital. People speculated that it was Chu Yi who showed his literary talent and martial arts in the main hall, and that was why he attracted the emperor's attention.
It's just that even the most favored third prince in the capital has no actual position in the capital. The emperor gave Chu Yi such an actual position this time, which made everyone even more suspicious.
