The first thousand two hundred and forty-six chapters are proud of the prince!
When Chu Yi was about to speak, he suddenly raised his brows towards the door of the quiet room and said, "Chu Er, what's the matter?"
Then I saw a figure appear at the door of the quiet room. It was not the steward who had greeted Zhu Zaiji and Meng Ruoxi outside the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion before.
The steward bowed to Chu Yi and Zhu Zaiji, and then said to Chu Yi: "Reporting to Your Highness, the Queen is here, I don't know..."
Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "Since the Queen is here in person, you go and welcome the Queen!"
As for Zhu Zaiji, when he heard this, he looked stunned and said: "Hey, why is the queen mother here?"
Chu Yi glanced at Zhu Zaiji and the two, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "You'll know when you meet the queen later, right?"
Zhu Zaiji stood up quickly and said: "Master, wait until I go to greet the queen mother!"
Meng Ruoxi also stood up, but at this moment a voice came from outside the quiet room: "I have arrived, your Majesty, there is no need to come out!"
While he was talking, he saw the queen coming in a full dress. The maid who had been serving the queen stopped when she walked outside the quiet room. Only the queen walked into the quiet room.
Chu Er has been following the Queen. It can be seen from Chu Er's expression and reaction that the Queen's arrival is obviously beyond his expectation.
Not to mention Chu Er, everyone in Prince Wu's Mansion was more surprised than others when the Queen came to Prince Chu's Mansion.
Everyone knows that Prince Wu's Mansion has an extremely harmonious relationship with the royal family, but Queen Xia has never been to Prince Wu's Mansion.
Now Queen Xia, who has never been to Prince Wu's Mansion, suddenly appears in Prince Wu's Mansion. This should not surprise anyone.
At this moment, Chu Yi also slowly stood up and nodded slightly towards the Queen: "The Queen is here, Chu is not far away to greet you, please forgive me!"
The queen smiled slightly and said: "King Wu is being polite. I just have something that I can't let go of. I'm here to bother you. Don't blame King Wu."
At this moment, Zhu Zaiji walked up to the queen, supported the queen and said: "Mother, why are you here!"
There seemed to be some discord between his mother and Chu Yi. Anyway, as long as Zhu Zaiji could remember him, he came to Prince Wu's Mansion more than once, but the Queen never stepped foot into Prince Wu's Mansion.
This has always been a doubt in Zhu Zaiji's mind, so now that he saw Queen Xia coming, Zhu Zaiji was also very surprised.
Patting Zhu Zaiji's hand, Mrs. Xia nodded again to Meng Ruoxi and said softly: "I'm not worried about your child. If Mrs. Chu refuses to help you, I might as well come with you."
Please ask Taifu."
Zhu Zaiji was greatly moved when he heard this.
Chu Yi smiled slightly, sighed and motioned for Queen Xia to sit down, then looked at the Queen and said: "Why do you think Chu will not help Ji'er!"
Xia shook her head slightly and said: "This matter is of great importance. One bad move may even bring a lot of trouble to the Ming Dynasty. I am not here as the empress of the Ming Dynasty, but as a mother."
Come here, I hope Master Chu can make the decision for Ji'er."
As she spoke, Xia sighed softly: "Your Majesty is now in seclusion, and the major affairs of the court are in charge of the chief minister Wang Yangming. However, Mr. Wang is devoted to the public affairs, and Ji'er's matter is just a private matter. I am afraid that Mr. Wang will not agree."
Her eyes fell on Chu Yi. Xia stood up slowly, then saluted Chu Yi and said, "After much thought, only you, Taifu, can help him with Ji'er's matter!"
Chu Yi took a step forward, stopped Xia from saluting, and said: "What are you talking about, your Majesty? I have watched Ji'er grow up since he was a child. Now that he has begged me, how can I, the Tutor, do the same?"
Just sit back and watch, even if the empress doesn't come this time, I will still make the decision for Ji'er."
Zhu Zaiji was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly pulled Meng Ruoxi and said: "Ruoxi, follow me and thank the master!"
With a bit of joy on her face, Meng Ruoxi and Zhu Zaiji bowed to Chu Yi and said, "Thank you, Master!"
Chu Yi stood tall, received a courtesy from the two of them, and then said to the outside of the quiet room: "Chu Er, please take my name card and invite the chief minister Yangming, General Yue Fei, and the great master Zhu Houcong!"
After listening to Chu Yi's instructions, both the queen and Zhu Zaiji showed a little smile on their faces.
Whether it is Wang Yangming, Yue Fei or Da Zongzheng Zhu Houcong, it can be said that these people may not be the strongest in the Ming Dynasty, but they are the ones who really assist Zhu Houzhao in running the Ming Dynasty and are the decision-makers of the Ming Dynasty.
When Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao were in seclusion, if anything happened to the Ming Dynasty, a few people would discuss and make decisions together with the cabinet.
Wang Yangming, Yue Fei, and Zhu Houcong were naturally quite curious when they received Chu Yi's invitation.
You must know that Chu Yi rarely pays attention to the affairs of the court, so if there is no important matter, Chu Yi would not be able to invite them to the government.
Just as if something happened again, a few people almost received the invitation, simply cleaned up, and rushed to Prince Wu's Mansion as soon as possible.
Entering the quiet room, several people saw Zhu Zaiji sitting there. Meng Ruoxi was naturally stunned for a moment, with a faint look of understanding on her face.
But when several people saw the queen sitting there, they were naturally surprised.
As the core high-level officials of the Ming Dynasty, they naturally knew that the Queen never came to Prince Wu's Mansion, so when they saw the Queen appearing in the Prince's Mansion, they were secretly surprised.
Of course, all of them looked calm and saluted the Queen and Chu Yi.
As the great Zongzheng in charge of the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houcong was also very influential in the Ming Dynasty. After all, as Zhu Houzhao's cousin, the grandson of Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, and the nephew of Xiaozong Zhu Youtang, he was on the same level as Zhu Houzhao in the royal family.
The closest bloodline.
Since coming to this world, Zhu Houzhao had high hopes for the royal family's children, and personally appointed Zhu Houcong as the chief minister of the royal family, fully responsible for royal affairs.
The hundreds of thousands of Zhu family members were managed in an orderly manner by Zhu Houcong, which clearly shows his methods and abilities.
With a bit of a smile on his face, Zhu Houcong said to Chu Yi: "Is there something important that His Highness summoned me to come here?"
Chu Yi smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I didn't speak. I think Da Zongzheng should understand why I called you here!"
His eyes fell on Zhu Zaiji and Meng Ruoxi. Chu Yi looked serious and said: "I think everyone already knows that Ji'er and Miss Meng are in love and have been committed to life. I agree with this, but you don't know.
What do you think?"
Chu Yi opened his mouth and decided with one word. Now he asked Wang Yangming, Yue Fei, and Zhu Houcong for their opinions. They looked at each other and said in unison: "Since His Highness doesn't think it's anything, naturally we don't have any opinions."
Chu Yi nodded, and said with a bit of solemnity: "But because Ji'er and Miss Meng made a private life decision, the Meng family was blamed by others. Speaking of the Meng family's troubles, it can be said that Ji'er
Now, what do you think we should do?"
Yue Fei laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of our Ming Dynasty, and his status is respected. Since Miss Meng has been recognized by the Queen and His Highness, she is the crown prince of our Ming Dynasty, and the Meng family can be regarded as our great Ming Dynasty."
Now that the Meng family is in trouble with our in-laws and relatives, I, the Ming Dynasty, must not ignore them."
As he spoke, a chilling air passed away in a flash, and Yue Fei said in a deep voice: "So I sincerely ask for your permission. We, the Ming Dynasty, will send troops to help the Meng family, make decisions for Your Highness the Crown Prince, and promote the prestige of our Ming Dynasty."
Chu Yi looked at Wang Yangming, who had been stroking his beard and said nothing, smiled slightly and said, "I wonder what the chief assistant thinks?"
Wang Yangming smiled and said: "The general's words are very good, and I have no objections!"
Chu Yi nodded and said with a smile: "That's very good. Since that's the case, I will be good at it once."
With his eyes focused, Chu Yi said in a deep voice: "Yue Pengju obeys orders!"
Yue Fei took a step forward and said: "The general is here!"
Looking at Yue Fei, Chu Yi said solemnly: "Please dispatch one hundred thousand Yulin Guards to follow me to the Meng Family."
Yue Fei nodded and said: "General, I will go and dispatch the troops right now."
His eyes fell on Wang Yangming, Chu Yi said: "Now that the king and the general are going, the affairs of the court will trouble the chief minister."
Wang Yangming stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are so polite. This is a matter within the scope of my duties."
When Chu Yi's eyes fell on Zhu Houcong, Zhu Houcong said with a smile: "I will go and prepare a generous gift to show my sincerity."
Chu Yi said with a smile: "Da Zongzheng is thoughtful. This time, I will trouble Da Zongzheng to go to the Meng family on behalf of His Majesty and the empress to arrange the marriage for Ji'er. Our Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and we should treat others with courtesy.
"
Soon Wang Yangming, Yue Fei, and Zhu Houcong left. Chu Yi looked at the queen with a smile and said, "What do you think, the queen!"
The queen stood up and bowed to Chu Yi: "I can feel at ease now that the master will make the decision for Ji'er. I will take my leave now."
Watching the queen leave, Zhu Zaiji said to Chu Yi with a face full of joy: "Ji'er, thank you Taifu for making the decision for Ji'er!"
Patting Zhu Zaiji's hand, Chu Yi smiled slightly and said: "Ji'er and Miss Meng will go to clean up and be ready to go at any time. Don't forget to bring your Donggong Liuliu with you so that they can go out and see it.
.”
As the military force to protect the crown prince, the Sixth Army of the East Palace has always been a top priority. This time Zhu Zaiji abandoned his family, it can be said that the Sixth Army of the East Palace failed in his duty.
Naturally, Zhu Zaiji, the crown prince, will be traveling this time to the Meng family, so as the sixth commander of the East Palace, of course he must accompany him as an escort.
Even if Zhu Zaiji does not need an escort, according to the etiquette and rules of the Ming Dynasty, the prince must travel without the Sixth Prince of the East Palace.
Zhu Zaiji and Meng Ruoxi left the Prince Wu's Mansion together. Looking back at the Prince Wu's Mansion, Zhu Zaiji was naturally extremely happy. He took Meng Ruoxi's hand and said, "Ruoxi, this time the master is in charge, what kind of disaster will happen to the Meng family?
It’s worry-free!”
Although Meng Ruoxi didn't know much about the strength of the Ming Dynasty, she at least knew one thing from Zhu Zaiji's mouth, that is, the Ming Dynasty had at least several powerful men at the level of Heavenly Lords. Knowing this, when Chu Yi decided to help their Meng family, Meng Ruoxi
I felt much more at ease.
Holding Meng Ruoxi's hand, Zhu Zaiji said with a smile: "Come on, follow me to the East Palace. Let's take a short rest. I think it won't be long before the Taifu's place will be ready for everything."
East Palace
As the residence of the prince, the East Palace is adjacent to the imperial palace. After all, the prince has already grown up, so he naturally needs to find another residence.
When the prince and Meng Ruoxi appeared in front of the East Palace, a figure appeared in front of the prince. Qi Jiguang, dressed in armor, saluted the prince and said, "I have met your highness, the prince."
Zhu Zaiji stepped forward and helped Qi Jiguang up. Looking at Qi Jiguang with a solemn expression, Zhu Zaiji couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment when he thought about his sneaking out.
Qi Jiguang naturally noticed the change in Zhu Zaiji's expression, took a deep breath and said: "Your Highness is the crown prince of a country. If you travel again, please be sure to bring your general with you."
With a slight cough, Zhu Zaiji nodded repeatedly and said: "I have recorded it!"
As he spoke, Zhu Zaiji looked at Qi Jiguang with a serious expression and said: "General Qi will pass on the order and order the six leaders of the East Palace to assemble and be ready to set off with Gu at any time."
Although he didn’t know exactly why he gathered the Sixth Army of the East Palace, as the general in charge of the Sixth Army of the East Palace, Qi Jiguang immediately obeyed the order and said: “The last general takes the order!”
Several Meng clan elders were now arranged by Cao Shaoqin in the side courtyard of the East Palace. After Zhu Zaiji found out, he asked Meng Ruoxi to go see those Meng clan elders.
In the side courtyard, several elders of the Meng clan seemed a little restless. Although they knew that the Meng clan was very likely to be doomed this time, and they were the seeds selected by the Meng clan to continue the bloodline, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would do it themselves.
I hope Meng can survive this disaster.
All hope lies in Zhu Zaiji, and they can only pin their hopes on the Ming Dynasty. Although they cannot tell the background and strength of the Ming Dynasty, from what they saw along the way, they can still see that the strength of the Ming Dynasty is not weak.
If the Ming Dynasty is willing to fully help the Meng family, it may not be able to save the Meng family from disaster.
So when they saw Meng Ruoxi, several clan elders stood up immediately, walked quickly to Meng Ruoxi, looked at Meng Ruoxi and said: "Ruoxi, how about it? Is the Ming Dynasty willing to help our Meng family?"
Meng Ruoxi nodded slightly and said: "The clan elders can rest assured that Zhu Lang has persuaded His Highness King Wu of the Ming Dynasty, and soon the Ming Dynasty will send troops to help my Meng family."
Hearing what Meng Ruoxi said, several clan elders showed a bit of joy on their faces. Meng Yan was slightly startled and said with some confusion: "Hey, shouldn't it be the king of a country who can decide such a big matter?
Who is this King Wu, and how could he decide such a major matter?"
Meng Kang and Meng An also looked at Meng Ruoxi with puzzled faces. If they didn't know that Meng Ruoxi would not joke about such a big thing, they would have thought that Meng Ruoxi was deceiving them.
After all, in Meng Yan's view, it involves the crown prince of a country and the powerful Tianzun. For any force, no one can make a decision without the leader of one force speaking out.
