But things are getting better, which makes Chen Qiuyu a lot happier.
The convoy quickly entered the capital, and Prince Fu was reluctantly sent to the Imperial Clan Court. After Prince Fu went in this time, it was unknown when he would come out again.
As for Prince Fu's family, they were all settled in an orderly manner.
After doing all this, Wang An returned to the palace to report.
As for Chen Qiyu, he was naturally arranged to stay at the post station early. He was just a county magistrate of the fifth rank, and in a place like the capital, he really couldn't get a rank.
Chen Qiyu was not in a hurry and waited quietly. Since His Majesty asked him to be quiet, there must be an arrangement.
In the Western Garden.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang An, waved his hand gently and said, "Alright, no need to be polite."
After Wang An stood up, Zhu Youxiao continued to say with a smile: "This time the mission in Henan was done well."
"I'm just doing my duty." Wang An said quickly with a bow.
Wang An knew that the emperor didn't like him, and his attitude towards him was not so kind before.
Because of this mission, the emperor had a much better impression of him, which made Wang An feel relieved.
"Where was Chen Qiuyu assigned?" Zhu Youxiao asked.
"Your Majesty, it has been arranged at the post station." Wang An said hurriedly.
"Let's arrange for him to come to the palace tomorrow." Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment, then ordered, "Let's talk about Prince Fu in a few days. I will meet him then."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang An quickly agreed again.
"Henan is a place with high mountains and long rivers. You must be tired after being away for so long. Go back and rest." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, signaling Wang An to leave.
After Wang An left, Zhu Youxiao also breathed a sigh of relief.
Prince Fu finally came to the capital, which meant that everything was finally settled. Before Prince Fu came to the capital, I really didn't feel relieved.
There was nothing else to do next, so Zhu Youxiao went back to rest.
During this period, Zhu Youxiao's mind was not on state affairs, but on having children.
It was very important for Empress Zhang to give birth to a son for him, so Zhu Youxiao invested a lot of energy in it.
After all, for the emperor, having a son and not having a son are two different things.
Having a son means that you have a successor and the court will be more stable; but if you don’t have a son, it may not be possible in the short term, but it may not be possible in the long term.
In the post station.
Chen Qiuyu also received the news that His Majesty wanted to see him tomorrow morning.
To be honest, this was somewhat beyond Chen Qiuyu's expectations.
Originally, Chen Qiuyu thought that after he arrived in Beijing, the court would give him an explanation, most likely a reward, and that would be it.
For example, you can be assigned an official position, or be assigned to a government office in the capital.
But he hadn't expected His Majesty to actually meet him in person, which made Chen Qiyu a little nervous. He didn't know what His Majesty would do to him. Had his actions angered His Majesty? Or would they satisfy His Majesty?
However, Chen Qiuyu was still very happy that His Majesty wanted to see him.
After all, for so long, he had felt that His Majesty was an emperor of great courage. He really wanted to meet such a king who could revive the Ming Dynasty.
After tossing and turning all night, Chen Qiuyu got up early the next morning before dawn.
After washing up and changing into an official uniform, Chen Qiuyu headed towards the West Garden in the morning light.
After arriving at the gate of Xiyuan, Chen Qiuyu found that Wang An was already waiting for him there, which made him feel relieved.
To be honest, Chen Qiuyu knew a few people in the capital, but in the palace, he only knew Wang An.
When they were in Henan Province before, the two of them had a good chat and were quite familiar with each other.
Chen Qiyu had a good impression of Wang An. He was a learned eunuch who also had a sense of justice in his heart. He was willing to make more friends with such people.
After the two met, Chen Qiyu quickly said, "Thank you for waiting here, Eunuch Wang."
"Master Chen, you don't have to be polite. This is just our family's job." Wang An also said with a smile.
In fact, Wang An also had a good impression of Chen Qiuyu.
When Wang An first learned that it was Chen Qiuyu who submitted the secret report, he still had some resentment in his heart.
But after chatting with him, Wang An found that Chen Qiuyu was very knowledgeable and had a righteous heart. He was very disgusted with the decadent habits in the Ming Dynasty officialdom and was an official who dared to think and act.
This made Wang An feel that Chen Qiuyu was a very good person and he was willing to get close to him.
After the two chatted for a while, Wang An took Chen Qiuyu inside.
As they walked, Wang An said to Chen Qiyu, "Your Majesty is in a good mood. Please be more careful with your words."
The meaning is very clear. His Majesty is in a good mood now, so you must not mess things up.
In fact, although Wang An thought Chen Qiuyu was a good person, he still had some worries in his heart.
The secret report submitted by this person was truly earth-shattering, and it simply turned Henan Province upside down.
Obviously this is a person who is brave enough to speak out.
"Thank you for the reminder, eunuch." Chen Qiuyu said with a smile, but he didn't agree in his heart.
In Chen Qiuyu's opinion, the current emperor is a man of great magnanimity and vision. How could he get angry with himself just because of a few words he said?
However, Chen Qiuyu still took note of it secretly. It’s better to say less if there is no need to offend.
