As the number one and second eunuchs of the Sili Supervisor, Wang Zhixin and Wang Chengen were ranked in the rankings, but their power was not strong or weak. Although Wang Chengen was ranked under the King's Heart, he followed the convention and worked as an admiral Dongchang, and was no less weak than the Sili Supervisor's seal.

When the two met the East Palace, Zhu Cilang was so enthusiastic that he was very uncomfortable. Although he had never called Wang Chengen "the factory man", he had to look respectful to the elderly when he met him in the past. He was not as high as he was now by the two big men.

"Who is the emperor talking to?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

"It's Mr. Chen."

It turned out to be Chen Yan.

Zhu Cilang responded. It was not popular in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty to call the chief "adult", and only the chief minister can enjoy the treatment of "old man". Generally speaking, "adult man" is generally a title for parents to respect their relatives.

"Is there something wrong again?" Zhu Cixuan asked casually.

What the emperor talked about when he met with the ministers was impossible to leak.

Just like it is impossible to snow in summer.

However, it does snow in the summer of the Little Ice Age, so the conversation between the emperor and his assistant may naturally be leaked.

"In fact, it's also about Your Highness." Wang Chengen was very brave and said first: "It's about Duke Cheng's attack on the throne, Duke Ding, and Duke British recommended that Your Highness take charge of the Beijing camp."

"Well," Zhu Cilang nodded, "I have to bother the two princes and princes to help me see when His Majesty will be summoned."

"Your Highness, please sit in the side hall." Wang Zhixin smiled and said, "Old minister, let's go and have a look."

There are Benren Hall and Jiyi Hall as the side halls on the Wenhua Hall, and there is also a cross-yard called Chuanxin Hall, which is the place to worship Confucius before the ceremony. Zhu Cixuan studied at Benren Hall for a while when he was a child, and now he is also interesting to visit the old place again. But before he could get in, he heard the sound of the class. It turned out that the emperor had finished facing the face, and the chief assistant Chen Yan was about to leave the palace.

After a moment, the king's heart turned to Zhu Cilang again and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has a decree. Please come to see you in the Lord's Palace."

Zhu Cilang nodded, but he was a little confused. The Lord Jing Hall is the back hall of Wenhua Hall, and the regulations are similar to the Wenhua Hall. In terms of function, it is usually the place where Chongzhen met the ministers after listening to the lecture. Since the Wenhua Hall can be used, Chongzhen rarely goes to the Lord Jing Hall, which can avoid the trouble of moving around.

Even if the emperor goes to the toilet, it is a very complicated thing!

Zhu Cixuan walked along the corridor to the Lord's Hall. There was naturally a great Han general at the door, and the eunuch passed on the door. After the summoned news came, Zhu Cixuan could enter seriously and not have any special treatment just because he was the emperor's eldest son.

This is etiquette, which separates people from each other.

When I met Chongzhen again, Zhu Cilang was quite uncomfortable.

Although it was only less than a month since he was thirty years old, his father had gray hair and looked bleak and old under the dim candlelight.

Chongzhen was routinely frugal, and even the lights and candles in the palace must be strictly controlled. Only when he met the ministers, the lights would be lit brightly.

Now that I just see my son, the light naturally becomes much weaker.

Zhu Cilang stepped forward to greet him. Yu Guang swept over Chongzhen's sleeves, and the vaguely exposed cuffs of the middle clothes had already become furry. I don't know how long this dress has been worn. Everyone knows that the Tian family is luxurious, and the underwear is replaced every day. When Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, the clothes that were changed every day became changed every three days, and later it was changed every five days, and finally it was not worn or changed.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cilang was a little grateful to Chongzhen. The emperor was so frugal, but Chongzhen had no intention of deducting the prince and other princes and princesses, and still lived a luxurious life that could not be imagined by the world.

"Are my son used to it?" Chongzhen's lips squirmed, and he finally asked the question he didn't want to ask. He felt that he should speak out on military and national affairs countless times, but when he saw his son's tender and mature face, he finally couldn't help but reveal his "little woman's attitude."

"Everything is fine when my son is away." Zhu Cixuan responded. He suddenly felt that he should add some "touching", but decades of thinking inertia made it difficult for him to find the emotion of "touching". His brain provided him with many powerful thinking weapons, making him far superior to ordinary people in memory and logical abilities, but at the same time he also deprived him of many emotional things.

Chongzhen nodded, gradually recovered his side of the empire's dominance and said, "Duke Dingguo and the British Duke recommend you to take over the Beijing camp, do you know?"

"My son has obtained the seal of the book a few days ago." Zhu Cilang said: "I just feel that the recommendation of the honorary minister seems a bit abrupt."

Chongzhen expressed his appreciation: "It is important for people to be self-aware. You can know that you have shortcomings. This is excellent. I often tell you the stories of Jie, Zhou, Sui and Yang. Is it because they are not talented? No, it is because they are too talented, so they are stubborn and self-willed, which cut off their destiny."

Zhu Cilang lowered his head and did not let his wry smile appear. These words were originally famous sayings, but they were spoken by a stubborn emperor. It was so ironic.

"But I still hope you can go to the Jingying Army." Chongzhen said thoughtfully: "The Jingying Army has always paid food and pay from the treasury and waited for the Emperor's personal army. However, it has been handed over to the hands of the honorary officials. Now it seems that those honorary officials are really letting my family down! I heard that your Eastern Palace guards are all heroic and agile, and they are quite strong in their military appearance. It seems that your subordinates also have capable people to help you. It is better to give the Jingying Army to you, and it will be useful if you achieve something."

Zhu Cilang was naturally very happy to have the emperor's approval. As for being underestimated by his father again, this was expected. He said: "His Majesty, my son has indeed received the help of loyal and righteous people after leaving the palace. And the results are obvious. The market in the capital has gradually recovered, and the plague disaster has passed. I just don't know how to reward them."

"The Tian family reward is nothing more than wealth and honor." Chongzhen taught: "But you have to remember that if you have too much reward, you will become domineering; if you don't have enough rewards, you will be resentful. The right way for the emperor to control the inferior is to make them full but not enough, so that you can always serve the king's affairs, and it is also a way to protect good ministers."

Chongzhen paused and said, "But the deceased may as well give more honors. On the one hand, let the living know that the family is kind, and on the other hand, it is also considered a battle between the king and the minister."

"My son understands." Zhu Cilang knew that Chongzhen was referring to the matter of Duke Cheng.

The plague broke out in Duke Cheng's house. Not only did no one in the whole mansion escape this disaster, but even the guards of the East Palace who went to prevent the epidemic were killed. Queen Zhou fainted at that time after hearing the rumors outside. Fortunately, someone later said that although the East Palace went to Duke Cheng's house, it was safe and sound, which was better.
