Chapter 2463: Judgment

Zhu Zhanji returned to the palace, and under the solitary lamp, Yu Jia handed him a letter.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from Xing Hebo."

Zhu Zhanji's eyebrows relaxed slightly.

If it is a memorial, then it is a matter, and the letter means that what Fang Xing wants to express is only his personal opinion.

Zhu Zhanji sat down and then checked the seal.

The seal is intact, with Fang Xing's private seal on it.

Open the envelope and take out the letter paper.

A piece of paper, a letter, a total of two words.

——Human pig!

Zhu Zhanji looked at these two words and remained silent for a long time.

Yu Jia stood on the edge, trying to persuade Zhu Zhanji to rest several times.

Tonight the emperor suddenly returned from Concubine Sun. This was a gesture, no, it should be a decision.

"Is it going to stop?"

Zhu Zhanji stuffed the letter back into the envelope, and then ordered: "Take a rest."

A palace maid tidied the bed. After Zhu Zhanji went to bed, he heard a slight snoring not long after.

After Yu Jia heard snoring outside the door, she waved her hands to the left and right. Except for the people on night watch, everyone else went back to rest.

He himself walked to the steps in front and sat down slowly.

The stone slab was very cold, and the coldness gradually spread from my thighs until my body became a little stiff.

Yu Jia placed her hands parallel on her knees, and then placed her forehead on the folded arms.

He just sat there, motionless.

The eunuchs and maids on night duty were all huddled nearby, not surprised by Yu Jia's behavior.

More than an hour later, Yu Jia slowly raised her head, then got up and moved her body.

A eunuch left quietly, and not long after, he came back with a bowl of steaming porridge.

"Father-in-law, this is the meat porridge I started cooking last night."

Yu Jia was exercising. He was not going to sleep anymore and would find time to take another nap during the day.

He took the bowl and chopsticks, smelled them, and felt better.

The eunuch smiled and said: "Father, your Majesty, nothing happens at night here. You are busy during the day and stay up late at night. I'm afraid..."

Yu Jia stirred the porridge with chopsticks, and as the heat was rising, she said, "There is nothing trivial about His Majesty. If we keep an eye on it more, your life will be easier. Otherwise, if something happens, who can save you?"

"Yes, if it weren't for my father-in-law, those of us who work the night shift would have been picked out and punished long ago."

Yu Jia took a sip of the porridge and suddenly felt that her stiff body was gradually relaxing.

"The most important thing in the palace is the things around His Majesty. Put aside the rest first."

Yu Jia finished the porridge in a few times, and then began to inspect various places.

When the lone star in the sky gradually twinkled, Yu Jia returned to the outside of the palace.

The eunuchs and maids on night duty all gathered outside the door. Some were yawning, some were holding their eyes, and some were holding their stomachs.

But no one dared to leave.

Yu Jia glanced at the palace maid who was holding her stomach and her face turned red, and said, "Go quickly."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

The maid held her stomach and ran back.

"My father-in-law is kind."

Amidst the low-pitched flattery, Yu Jia said lightly: "In the future, when you take your turn to serve, you must be careful not to eat those things that make your stomach upset. Otherwise, you will pee all around His Majesty, and even ten heads will not be enough to cut off."

Everyone waited quietly together.

Not long after, a eunuch came from the right and raised his hand towards Yu Jia.

Yu Jia sniffed, then walked to the door and whispered inside: "Your Majesty, the time has come."

"I understand.

"

Zhu Zhanji's voice sounded a little hoarse, and Yu Jia turned around and ordered: "Let them make something to nourish their lungs for breakfast."

Then Yu Jia opened the door, and the maids and eunuchs rushed in, and then helped the emperor get up.

"Your Majesty, what would you like to eat for breakfast?"

Zhu Zhanji was already fully awake and said: "Bread, porridge."

The emperor's meals, at least before Shenzhou Lu Shen, were not as rich as the world would speculate later.

A few small side dishes, a bowl of porridge mixed with herbs that are good for the throat, and two cakes.

Zhu Zhanji had breakfast a few times, and then drank slowly with a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, there was a quarrel at the house of Hu Hui, the Minister of Rites, last night, and the government affairs were not mentioned at all."

"At midnight last night, Xu Bu, the commander of the Dongcheng Military and Horse Division, complained. He said that the superiors were putting pressure every day and only wanted to reduce the number of cases, but they refused to pay more money and food and increase manpower."

"Xinghebo hired a doctor in Shandong. The people in Dongchang went to ask afterward and said that he was tired from running around and evil spirits were growing..."

Zhu Zhanji left the palace, and Yu Jia held the booklet in his hand and reported the information that Dongchang had just handed over.

Then came the discussion of politics. The emperor and the assistant political bachelors began to discuss the affairs of this huge empire based on the situation reported below.

After the discussion is over, the emperor will start processing the memorials.

These memorials were filtered by the auxiliary political bachelors, so he processed them quickly.

"Shandong..."

Zhu Zhanji saw a memorial and frowned: "I'm afraid there will be a famine this year, but the local government says it's not a severe drought. Can the Ministry of Revenue respond to it?"

Huang Huai had an exchange with Xia Yuanji yesterday and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xia said that the grain reserves in Shandong are enough to withstand this drought, and the rice grains from the south can continue to flow northward in the second half of the year. It was only last year that a lot of grains from the south were reduced. If grain is transported to the north again this year, the gentry in the south will probably laugh at it.”

Yang Rong said: "What are you laughing at? The north is bitterly cold, and the emperor and army of the Ming Dynasty are stationed here to keep the south peaceful. What do those corrupt scholars know?"

Yang Shiqi also said helplessly: "The south always thinks that the north is dragging them down. After the transportation of grain from the south to the north was greatly reduced last year, some people in the south said that this was just a show of strength. The north will not last for a few years and will definitely restart the grain transport."

"Are you thinking of a country within a country?"

Yang Rong couldn't stand this kind of thing. "Your Majesty, if this trend arises, it will be difficult to control in the future. I ask the local government to strictly investigate this matter."

Zhu Zhanji said without comment: "The best way to deal with such people is for the Ming Dynasty to become stronger and stronger, but they will find faults in eggs, so let's keep it strong and make their voices smaller and smaller, and finally become the chirping of summer insects."

After handling government affairs later, Zhu Zhanji returned to the harem.

"What is mother doing?"

Outside Ningshou Palace, Zhu Zhanji looked outside with his hands behind his back.

Li Bin, who came out to greet them, said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is taking a walk."

Zhu Zhanji nodded, and then said as he walked, "It seems that there are fewer flowers and trees here, Queen Mother. Think about it carefully later and ask Queen Mother what she wants to plant."

Li Bin followed from the side and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this is against the rules."

Many places in the palace cannot plant things, for the sake of safety.

Zhu Zhanji said lightly, "My words are the rules."

Li Bin was shocked. He didn't know what the emperor meant by saying this here and at this moment.

Demonstration?

But there has been no conflict between the emperor and the Queen Mother recently.

The Queen Mother was in a good mood, and she was smiling when she saw Zhu Zhanji coming.

She showed a painting in her hand, "This is painted by Yue'er, the emperor should take a look too."

The painting was a ball of ink. Zhu Zhanji got closer and took a closer look, and finally had some insights.

"Mother, is it a puppy?"

"Yes! It made me laugh so hard."

The Queen Mother looked very happy. Zhu Zhanji sat down and said, "There are fewer flowers and plants here, mother. I am thinking about asking someone to rearrange them."

"Don't be careless."

The Queen Mother handed the painting to Yu Ma beside her and stopped smiling.

"Although it seems safe and sound now, how many incredible things have happened in the palace in the past dynasties? Even the best and wisest rulers will have enemies. Besides, if you want to see flowers and plants, I will naturally go to the garden, and I can bring the children with me, which is better."
