"After the hunt was over, I originally planned to push forward a new policy to build 'almshouses' and 'Anjitang' in various state capitals and counties, which were very costly to support the orphans and the elderly and provide medicine to treat the poor and weak. Three million taels is not much, but it is not much. Moreover, a treasure ship can carry up to 1,000 shipwrights, if you want to go to sea in the name of the Great Zhou Dynasty and raise the prestige of our country, it is certainly impossible for the envoy to be a businessman, but to send troops bravely. Two hundred treasure ships are twenty thousand soldiers who are familiar with shipping. As for how and where to deploy it, I am afraid that it will alarm the military department. The Mu family is asking me for 20,000 elite soldiers. ”

Lin Zhixuan's brows were also tightly furrowed, and before she could say anything, she saw from a distance that Du Qin had already packed up the pheasant and came over here.

Lin Zhixuan hurriedly left Wei Mingxu, sat down seriously, and watched Du Qin come over and put the pheasant on the grill, brushed another layer of oil and sauce, and sprinkled some spices, Wei Mingxu asked him to go back to eat first, so he didn't have to serve here.

Although Du Qin was worried about Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan's comfort, as long as it was Wei Mingxu's orders, he would carry them out as a military order, and he didn't say much.

Seeing that Du Qin was gone, Wei Mingxu stepped forward in person and turned the grill from time to time, so as not to bake any of the paste.

It was completely dark.

Lin Zhixuan carefully remembered Lu Yan's words that day: Yuanchuan has been back in Beijing for half a year, but he often enters the palace to visit Mu Huasheng.

Speaking of Mu Huasheng's incident at the beginning, a few days after she came out, the Empress Dowager found out who helped Mu Huashang in those years, but it was much to Wei Mingxu's surprise - it turned out to be the deposed Empress Jiashan and her concubine Princess Kechun in the cold palace.

For these two people, Lin Zhixuan is easy to find some memories, when she entered the palace for the first time, what she saw at the gate of Cining Palace was Princess Ke Chun holding Bei Ge'er who had smallpox and had no way to take refuge. I was kind enough to send medicine to Bei Ge'er at the beginning, but now I don't know if the child has survived.

Originally, no matter who it was, Wei Mingxu would definitely investigate it, but he never thought that after hearing that it was their mother and daughter, Wei Mingxu not only did not punish him, but interceded with the Empress Dowager for their orphans and widows.

The Empress Dowager did not pursue it further. It can be seen that the Queen Mother also knows the mother and daughter very well, and they are trying their best to just want Mu Huashang to help them take revenge.

However, the Empress Dowager has guards around her, and the forbidden palace is strict, and their mother and daughter can't hurt the Empress Dowager no matter what. And so it passed.

Just looking at Wei Mingxu's attitude towards Princess Kechun, Lin Zhixuan also vaguely guessed something. At the beginning, it was rumored that the incest between Empress Jiashan and Prince Yi was mostly framed by people. And nine times out of ten, this person is the current empress dowager who later succeeded the empress.

The Empress Dowager pulled down Empress Jiashan in one fell swoop, and the two sons of Empress Jiashan, as well as the crown prince born to Empress Xianxiao Kangren, that is, the current Prince Yi, the Empress Dowager succeeded to the throne, and the three Wei Mingxu brothers became sisters-in-law, which also gave the three of them unlimited possibilities.

But all of this came out of stepping on the blood of brothers and sisters.

And this Princess Kechun had a deep personal relationship with Wei Mingxu back then, and she was an imperial eldest sister that Wei Mingxu respected very much, so she felt so guilty about her now.

But now that I think about it carefully, Lin Zhixuan still has a lot of things to figure out: "Lord, I remember that you said that after the death of the concubine, Princess Kechun invited herself to take care of Queen Jiashan in the cold palace, but why did even Master Pei take it to a place like the cold palace, and it was also suitable for the grandmother of the concubine family to be born and raised outside, so that no one could treat the smallpox in the first place." ”

Wei Mingxu paused when he heard the words and added firewood to the fire, and it took a long time before he finally threw the small firewood into it, and said to Lin Zhixuan: "The imperial sister is gentle and gentle, but she is also a princess no matter what." You just have to look at Shuhui to know. Throughout the ages, there is no one who is not subject to the princess's command, even if it is a princess with a better temperament, the grandmother who married in the past will also mention some etiquette, and she can't be like the daughter of an ordinary family to her husband.

At the beginning, Queen Jiashan was abolished, even the children, the royal sister was also expelled from the royal family, demoted to a concubine, the horse and the imperial sister were not in harmony, after the imperial sister was expelled from the imperial family, in the horse family is even more suffering. Later, on the grounds that the imperial sister had no heirs, he wanted to divorce the imperial sister. ”

Wei Mingxu gently flipped over the sizzling pheasant that was roasted on the grill, and paused for a long time before he said, "But before the book of resignation was written, the horse died violently." ”

Lin Zhixuan couldn't help but turn her head, looked at Wei Mingxu's side face in the firelight, and listened to him speak slowly: "The imperial sister escaped and went to ask for the eighth child, saying that Empress Jiashan was old, and she invited herself into the cold palace to serve her mother for the rest of her life. At that time, Zhang Lin's family reported to the Criminal Department that the imperial sister had killed the horse.

At that time, I had already gained the weight of the eighth child, helped to suppress the case of the criminal department, and also helped to ask for it, and the eighth child agreed.

But I never thought that at that time, the imperial sister actually had a child in the womb of the horse. The imperial sister had nothing at the time, and she was so paranoid that she refused to send the child out of the palace, so there was an extra child in the cold palace. ”

Lin Zhixuan felt pity in her heart, but suddenly remembered the ninth sister, and hurriedly grabbed Wei Mingxu's arm and said: "So let the prince spoil the ninth sister less in the future, don't always be arrogant and indulge in her big temper, if she is seriously calculated in the future, how can it be good? The harmony between husband and wife is the most important, and there is a strong temperament, such as Chu Nan, what benefits do you get now?"

Wei Mingxu gently hugged Lin Zhixuan and said with relief: "Don't worry, I won't let Sister Jiu'er have that day, there will always be the two of us behind her, and no one will bully her." ”

"Can the prince protect her for the rest of her life? What if we are all old and dead?"

Wei Mingxu said: "When we are all old, and her younger brother will protect her, and when we die, there will be her son, her nephew, and her grandson, who will protect our ninth sister together." ”

When Lin Zhixuan heard this, her heart was so warm that she couldn't speak, but she was much relieved anyway.

On the fire rack, the aroma of roast chicken has spread, mixed with the fragrance of green grass between heaven and earth, and there is an extra unruly taste, which arouses the gluttony in Lin Zhixuan's stomach.

"If the ninth sister sees it, she will definitely like it. Lin Zhixuan couldn't help but say, and suddenly became worried again, "Isn't it in the way to leave that little girl alone in the camp?"

Wei Mingxu said: "I have already instructed Bai Hui to take her to her mother's place for dinner in the evening, you can rest assured." Such a big girl, you always treat her as a child. The day before yesterday, I saw her practicing arrows in the archery path with the small bow I made for her, and nine of the ten scissors could hit the bull's-eye, which was much better than Yanxian's practice, but it was a pity that ......"

Wei Mingxu didn't say any more, only tore a little bit of meat and tasted it, sprinkled another layer of salt, and roasted it slowly.
