At this time, Feng Jizhong in the capital suddenly received a will, the emperor had an order, Feng Jizhong reinstated, sealed him a Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and ordered him to take office as soon as possible.

This holy decree was issued, and Tu Yuanhui didn't even know it.

Anyway, he had made up his mind, Feng Jizhong didn't fight for a while, and immediately wrote to express his feelings, thinking that he was shallow in his studies, immoral and incompetent, and he was afraid that he would lose the emperor's expectations, and now that he was old and his energy was not good, he was really unappointable, so he implored the emperor to choose another talent.

I didn't expect that when Jia Dun came back from the East Palace with his son Anu, the second decree came soon after, and he still ordered him to return to Beijing as soon as possible to take office, lest the emperor's tone harden and blame Feng Jizhong for acting cowardly and treating the emperor's order as child's play.

That night, the two of them sat in the main room, looking at the two wills enshrined on several cases, and they couldn't help but sigh at the sitting.

"Adun, how can the emperor just take a fancy to me?" Feng Jizhong was puzzled, there are many capable people in this court, which eye of the emperor can see that he, Feng Jizhong, is a talent who has passed through the heavens and latitudes?

Jia Dun was also helpless, "It's two wills, if it really doesn't work, you can go to Guanglu Temple, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, don't be at that time, because of your business, it will affect our son-in-law." ”

Feng Jizhong shook his head suddenly, he had been brainwashed by Jia Dun in the past few years, and said: "The last time it was not good, someone wanted to plot against me, this time, I am afraid that I will have the life to be an official, and I will not have the life to return to my hometown!" ”

"You! Now he is really hard-hearted, "Jia Dun also knows that Feng Jizhong is a character who is better than less than less, and he was frightened, but he was afraid that he would not be an official again this time, so he simply persuaded: "Why don't we write a letter to our daughter and son-in-law first to ask for their ideas?" ”

On the second day, Feng Jizhong stood outside the gate of the East Palace.

Ke Qing sat in Tu Yuanhui's arms with his fingers in his mouth, and looked curiously at the strange old man opposite who was sighing to himself and calling his grandfather.

"Prince, Xia Guan would rather die than take this career!" Feng Jizhong hung his head and said dejectedly.

Feng Yu'er looked at Tu Yuanhui, turned her head to Feng Jizhong and said, "You don't have to be too anxious. ”

Tu Yuanhui was also helpless, his father's will was too fast and urgent, and said: "In this case, I will accompany you to the emperor to intercede, but the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, I am afraid that you will have to continue to do this official, so if this is the case, you will endure it for another year, and then you will be relieved." ”

Sure enough, as Tu Yuanhui expected, when Feng Jizhong arrived in front of Emperor Hongsheng, as soon as he said that he wanted to resign, he was scolded by Emperor Hongsheng and scolded him for being bloody, which means that Feng Jizhong really doesn't know how to lift, and he is shameless to face, and if he dares to take it, he can't keep his head carefully.

Facing the emperor so angry, Feng Jizhong was so frightened that he almost fainted, he didn't expect that he would have such a day, so that the emperor could force him to be an official, this heart was wronged, and he immediately lay on the ground and cried bitterly, seemingly grateful to Dade, but in fact there were words of suffering.

In the end, it was Tu Yuanhui who started a round: "Father, I think Master Feng has already had an epiphany, why don't you let him go back and think about it first?" ”

"Prince, I think you are the one who is in the way of this!" Emperor Hongsheng was not lightly angry this time, and regardless of Feng Jizhong's presence, he pointed at Tu Yuanhui and reprimanded: "You have always been famous and famous, only thinking about keeping the good reputation of the prince, but you don't want to think about your relatives at all, your father-in-law is quite talented, how can you bury it because of your selfishness, cronyism is indeed immoral, but as a prince, don't you understand what it means to be virtuous and not avoid relatives?" ”

Tu Yuanhui was a little stunned for a while, so he had to kneel down and explain: "Father, the son doesn't dare, it's just that the father-in-law is so indifferent and doesn't admire fame. ”

Feng Jizhong hurriedly wiped away his old tears, spoke for the disciple Yuanhui, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed the minister's own opinion, and it has nothing to do with the crown prince!" ”

Emperor Hongsheng couldn't look down on the appearance of the two of them, and waved his hand impatiently: "You two go down, prince, don't think only about yourself in everything, go back and think about what is the righteousness of a benevolent monarch?" As for Feng Jizhong, you have to take my words to heart, don't let me be completely disappointed in you. ”

Feng Jizhong was helpless, and when he returned to the East Palace, he couldn't help but look at Tu Yuanhui: "Prince, I think it's because the lower official's idea is biased, but it will affect you to eat and hang up, and the lower official is really ashamed!" ”

"You're overthinking." Tu Yuanhui politely stopped Feng Jizhong, and disagreed with Emperor Hongsheng's behavior, feeling that Emperor Hongsheng was just using the topic to play, and his intention was not necessarily on Feng Jizhong, but as if he was deliberately trying to beat himself.

When the husband and wife went to bed in the evening, Feng Yuer leaned her head on Tu Yuanhui, and said dissatisfiedly: "The emperor is now bent on letting his daughter-in-law's father be this official, and there are really cows who don't eat grass and force their heads to press their heads, and your royal family is really domineering." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you're also a royal person now," Tu Yuanhui smiled, "It's your father's real headache." ”

Feng Yu'er sighed suddenly, "Why is Ding Wei about to expire in three years, don't you know that your daughter-in-law's father is a filial son, if you don't let him ask for a decree, he will say that he feels sorry for his mother and wants to mourn for another three years?" ”

"You, you can figure it out," Tu Yuanhui twisted Feng Yu'er's nose, "If it really doesn't work, let him take office, I'll send someone to follow your father when I go back, fool around for a few days, and then go to the book!" ”

Feng Yu'er didn't speak, but she came out of her mind.

It has come to the crisp autumn season, the weather is good on this day, Zhao Mama helped Zhen Guifei, who had just taken a nap, to take a walk in the imperial garden, and just went up to a small pavilion, she heard the child's "giggle" laughter below, Zhen Guifei took a look at the place where the voice came from, it turned out to be the little county lord Keqing and Kang An were running around in the grass below, and there were Feng Yuer and several people from the East Palace standing next to them.

Looking up, she saw Zhen Guifei smiling and waving at them from afar, Feng Yu'er hurriedly hugged the disobedient Keqing and went up to greet Zhen Guifei.

Concubine Zhen smiled: "How did you enter the palace today?" ”

Feng Yu'er said politely: "Give the queen mother a piece of incense for the prince." ”

Concubine Zhen nodded, and then stepped forward to hug Keqing, "Speaking of which, there are also two big-headed grandsons in this palace, but they are too skinny, but now it is rare to look at this beautiful and clean little girl in your family!" ”

Keqing also has some memories of Zhen Guifei, so she let her hold it, but she played with the beads on Zhen Guifei's body.

"I heard that your father is going to recover, Crown Princess?"

"My father has resigned twice, and now he has arrived in the capital, but he is still hesitating!" Feng Jizhong's matter is also in an uproar in the capital, and it's hard to think about it!

"Your father," Concubine Zhen shook her head, "I can't think of ......"

Just before Concubine Zhen could speak, she saw a group of people coming from afar, and a person in a yellow robe in front of her was looking at them.

Concubine Zhen smiled at Feng Yu'er and gave her a look, and everyone stepped forward to pay their respects.

Emperor Hongsheng didn't seem to expect Feng Yu'er to be there, and asked with a surprised face, "Why did the crown princess come today?" ”

Feng Yu'er replied with a smile: "Yesterday, the prince dreamed of his mother, so he asked his daughter-in-law to come and give incense to his mother. ”

Emperor Hongsheng glanced at Feng Yu'er and snorted lightly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Feng Yu'er hugged Keqing from Concubine Zhen's arms and said, "If the minister's daughter-in-law is in trouble, I won't disturb my father and concubine." ”

Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongsheng stopped her, "I met the crown princess today, and I just have something to ask you." ”

Feng Yu'er didn't dare to leave, put Keqing on the ground, and instructed the child: "Go to play with Aunt Xingyue, don't be naughty and fall into the lake." ”

Then Xingyue came up and led the little girl away.

At this time, Emperor Hongsheng walked to the front, and Concubine Zhen was hesitating to follow, but was asked by Gonggong An, so he simply pulled Feng Yu'er to follow.

Entering a verandah, Emperor Hongsheng found a stone bench and sat down, Zhen Guifei sat with her, but Feng Yuer stood aside, watching the palace maid come up with tea,

Emperor Hongsheng looked at the scenery outside the verandah, and asked for a while, "Crown Princess, your father's resignation is not acceptable, I think you have also heard about it, right?" ”

Feng Yu'er thought for a while and said in a low voice: "The daughter-in-law knows a little about this matter, when my father came to the East Palace to see the prince, the daughter-in-law happened to be there. ”

"The crown prince has not done a good job at this point," Emperor Hongsheng raised his eyes and looked at Feng Yu'er, "That child cherishes feathers the most, but he is too careful, always worried that his relatives around him will do something unruly, but he forgets that he is high and low, the water is clear and there are no fish, if he can't even hold his relatives, how can he expect him to win the support of the people in the future." ”

Feng Yuer didn't dare to answer rashly.

Emperor Hongsheng looked at Feng Yu'er's expression and continued: "Your father is a good one, I admire him very much, I want to come to Feng Jizhong's age, two years younger than me, how can you rush to retreat, you don't have to listen to the prince, I am in charge of this matter for your father." ”

"Yes, Lord Feng is in the prime of life, and he doesn't want to serve the emperor at this time, do you have to wait for seventy or eighty years before going out of the mountain again?" Concubine Zhen covered her lips and smiled.

Feng Yu'er's heart tightened, but she still spoke, "Emperor Xie and Niangniang are sympathetic to the father-in-law of his daughter-in-law, but the emperor is afraid that he has misunderstood the prince." ”

These words made Emperor Hongsheng quite unhappy, "How can I wronged him?" What kind of virtue my own son is, I know it all in my heart! ”

"Your Majesty, I was reprimanded by the emperor that time, and the father-in-law and the prince returned to the East Palace, but they cried a lot," Feng Yu'er paused, "Although it is said that it is a secret for the elderly, only in front of the emperor, the daughter-in-law does not dare to hide it, the father-in-law of the minister-in-law is a foolish person, and he is actually very mediocre in being an official. ”

"You girl, why did you say that your father was useless?" Concubine Zhen felt that this crown princess was incredible, and she didn't want her father to be an official.

"The daughter-in-law is telling the truth, the daughter-in-law's father is not useless, he has many advantages, such as his mother's extreme filial piety, and for example, he can still weigh his own weight." Feng Yuer replied with a smile, although she didn't look down on Feng Jizhong's foolishness, she still had to praise it.

Emperor Hongsheng frowned and looked at Feng Yu'er, and said, "Listen to what you mean, don't you want him to continue to be an official?" ”

"Don't hide it from the emperor, before the daughter-in-law married into the royal family, the father-in-law already had a plan to be a minister, which is actually the idea of the daughter-in-law."

Concubine Zhen looked surprised, "Lord Feng is willing to listen to you?" ”

Feng Yu'er glanced at Emperor Hongsheng, and the emperor was becoming more and more suspicious of the crown prince.

What does Tu Yuanhui care about, Feng Yuer now fully understands, people have been together for so long, in the next few years, Tu Yuanhui is really good to her, no matter how cold Feng Yuer's heart is, it can't help but be warm.

There is no father and son in the royal family, but Tu Yuanhui is still looking forward to having a father and son, and this time Feng Yuer is still ready to say it boldly.

"The daughter-in-law said before, the daughter-in-law's father is extremely filial to the mother, but this filial piety is a little too much, he obeyed his grandmother's instructions that day, and once accepted a room of concubines, but the concubine is not a good one, and encouraged the daughter-in-law's grandmother with soft ears to bully the daughter-in-law's mother, this matter is also well known in Ping'an County, the father is afraid of the grandmother's majesty, and he is somewhat ineffective in protecting his wife, which hurts the heart of the daughter-in-law's mother. Later, the concubine colluded with her brother to steal her grandmother's money, and almost injured her old man's life, so that until her death, her grandmother was haunted on the bed and completely unconscious. ”

Concubine Zhen had already inquired about this, but now when she heard Feng Yu'er spread out at this moment, she couldn't help but shake her head.

Feng Yuer then said: "This is to mention the current Zhizhou Bai Deheng people in Dongshan Mansion, he and his daughter-in-law's father are close friends, Lord Bai was at that time, so that the daughter-in-law's father woke up, not only punished the concubine, but also in front of the people of Ping'an County, and the daughter-in-law's mother reconciled as before, the emperor, the mother, the daughter-in-law's father This character can be seen from this, if it wasn't for the later broken abduction case and was rewarded, he would have thought he was incompetent and ready to become a minister. ”

"Just now you said that you came up with the idea of letting Feng Jizhong pick a son?" Feng Yu'er said a lot, Emperor Hongsheng didn't pay attention to anything, he wanted to look away, but he couldn't help but stare at Feng Yu'er.

"The daughter-in-law's father is a soft child, and the daughter-in-law's mother is not afraid to let her make too much concessions, she only knows how to be obedient, otherwise how can she let a concubine make waves in the house," Feng Yu'er sighed, "In the family, the daughter-in-law still has a little idea, so the daughter-in-law can only be a daughter who is not filial and comes to make decisions for her parents, but the daughter-in-law's father is willing to listen to me." ”

"After talking for a long time, the crown princess just wanted to exonerate the crown prince." Emperor Hongsheng suddenly said this.

"The emperor misunderstood, this is the Feng family's business, and the prince really can't interfere." Feng Yu'er hurriedly said.

Concubine Zhen smiled on the side and said: "You kid really dare to say that although the prince is only half a son of the Feng family, he is also the prince after all, is it possible to see your face?" ”

Feng Yu'er hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, this public is for the public, and the private is for the private, when it comes to the public, the father-in-law handed over the resignation, and the prince didn't know about it before; What about this privateness, from the daughter-in-law's mother to the daughter-in-law, plus an ignorant younger brother, they all hope that the daughter-in-law's father will not be this official, save the corpse vegetarian meal, and add chaos to the emperor, no one in the Feng family has asked the prince what he means, so he has not been touched by both public and private! ”

Emperor Hongsheng felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, and still insisted on his own opinion, but his tone softened.

"No matter how you exonerate the prince, there must be his instruction in this, it doesn't matter if your father is an official or not, but the prince is so unkind, I'm afraid it will hurt the hearts of all the relatives."

"Your Majesty, the crown prince has a father-in-law who is an official in the court and has no courage to do anything wrong, which is beneficial and harmless, how can he refuse? As for the emperor saying that the prince is not close to people, he really misunderstood him, so he said that the Qian family, although the old lady is no longer there, the prince's help has never been broken, and the prince is unwilling to treat him well, it is those who bully the people everywhere because they are close to the East Palace. Feng Yu'er completely called out,

Emperor Hongsheng snorted, and after a while, he asked suddenly, and said, "Crown Princess, do you think the crown prince can be a good king?" ”

Everyone was stunned, ready to wait for the crown princess to answer.

Feng Yu'er always felt that there was a trap in Emperor Hongsheng's words, so she lowered her head and thought about it for a long time, and replied carefully: "Back to the emperor, the daughter-in-law is short-sighted, only staring at the one-third of an acre of land in the East Palace, and what she says is naturally the most uninsightful. ”

"Tell me about it!" Emperor Hongsheng said lightly.

"To be able to marry the crown prince, the daughter-in-law is fortunate to have three lives," Speaking of this, he added: "As for what will happen in the future, the daughter-in-law does not dare to speculate." ”

"Three lives are lucky?" Emperor Hongsheng sighed in his heart, got up and said, "Okay, I'll go first!" Without looking at anyone, he left.

Concubine Zhen Guifei stood next to Feng Yu'er, and after watching Emperor Hongsheng leave, she turned her head to look at Feng Yu'er and said with a smile: "Crown Princess, you dare to say it." ”

Feng Yu'er hesitated in her heart, completely unable to understand what Emperor Hongsheng meant.

"What the daughter-in-law said is the truth, in fact, everyone has their own ambitions, and the daughter-in-law's father's heart is not in the official career, so what does it mean to force him?"

Concubine Zhen shook her head, this princess has no father who is an official, where is this son stable?

I think about the prince wholeheartedly, but where can a man believe it?

When Gonggong An led people into the imperial study to prepare for the lantern, Emperor Hongsheng had bowed his head on the throne and pondered for a long time.

"Your Majesty, it's getting night, why don't you go back to the palace to rest?" Gonggong An looked at the expression of Emperor Hongsheng and said cautiously.

Emperor Hongsheng didn't raise his head, or even say a word.

Father-in-law An was a little nervous, took two steps closer, and shouted, "Your Majesty? ”

Only then did Emperor Hongsheng raise his head, look at Gonggong An, and said: "Feng Jizhong, let him go back to Suzhou immediately, my subordinates are full of talents, why not lose him a mediocre official." ”

Gonggong An understood what Emperor Hongsheng meant, and nodded hurriedly, "Yes." ”

"Okay, go back to the palace, Xuanzhen Guifei will sleep tonight." Emperor Hongsheng stroked his face and walked out of the imperial study.

In the middle of the night, Emperor Hongsheng couldn't sleep, and finally sat up, and was about to get off the dragon bed in his clothes.

Concubine Zhen was shocked, sat up too, and asked, "Where is the emperor going?" ”

"I have something, you go to sleep first!" Emperor Hongsheng put on his dragon boots, put on a coat and walked out.

In a half-dream, Concubine Zhen sat on the head of the bed in a daze, looked at Emperor Hongsheng and went out, and then heard the exclamation of the eunuch on duty outside, "Your Majesty, where are you going?" ”

In fact, Emperor Hongsheng didn't go anywhere, just stood outside the gate of Qianyang Palace, looking at a huge rockery in the southeast direction.

There was the location of Li Guifei's Luanhe Palace, not long after her death, the old queen mother forced the Luanhe Palace to be demolished on the grounds that Luanhe Palace blocked her Ci'an Palace's feng shui, and finally piled up a rockery group on it, I really don't know how much hatred this is, so that the old queen mother must destroy any trace of Li Guifei left in the world.

Emperor Hongsheng smiled bitterly, Emperor Wen actually allowed the old queen mother to toss like this that day, Emperor Hongsheng thought that if it was him, he would never allow anyone to hurt his favorite woman like this.

Probably because of this, Emperor Hongsheng for Emperor Wen, in addition to the reverence for men, also a little more contempt, he felt sorry for Li Guifei in his heart, he would die for such a cowardly and ruthless man, and even declared in front of everyone, "Marrying the emperor, I Li Cuier is fortunate in three lives!" ”

By the way, the crown princess also said today that "three lives are lucky", Emperor Hongsheng hated, why did Li Guifei still not take the lesson, lived two lives, and was still blind, she just believed that the prince could take good care of her all her life?

"Your Majesty, it's dark at night, let's go back to the palace as soon as possible!" Father-in-law An, who hurried over, persuaded tightly.

Emperor Hongsheng immediately came to his senses, where did Li Guifei reincarnate, they were two different women, although they were both so beautiful and dazzling that people couldn't breathe, they loved different men, and they had nothing to do with Emperor Hongsheng.

"Lao Anzi, call the people from the Internal Affairs Office into the palace early tomorrow morning," Emperor Hongsheng instructed before returning to the palace: "Flatten the rockery, the more I look at it over the years, the more I panic." ”

"Yes!" Gonggong An walked back with Emperor Hongsheng, and couldn't help but ask more, "What should I do with it after it is leveled?" ”

Emperor Hongsheng said without hesitation: "The Luanhe Palace has been rebuilt!" ”

Gonggong An couldn't help but shake his body, looking at the back of Emperor Hongsheng, Gu Zi was stunned for a while.

Wang Zisheng agreed, and immediately entered the main hall of the Admiral's Mansion in southern Sichuan, and bypassed a few corridors before turning to the study of Tu Yuansheng's daily office. ”

Tu Yuansheng nodded lightly and said, "This time I have worked hard for you, and this king will give you credit in front of the emperor." ”

"Thank you to the third master, the third master saved his life, the minister dare not forget!"

Tu Yuansheng got up and went to the front yard to look at the real thing, and after looking at it for a long time, he nodded with satisfaction.

"I'll leave it all to you."

Wang Zisheng said: "I didn't expect the emperor to rebuild Luanhe Palace, this is a big project, it is to have so many good materials, although he is in the border, but his heart is towards the emperor, and now the third master and rest assured, this matter is determined to help you do it, it can be regarded as a little heart." ”

"This time, you came and went very quickly, I heard that this golden cicada jade wood is not easy to find!"

"It's also a coincidence, I don't know if the third master has heard of it, we originally had a place called Baiyu Country here?"

Tu Yuansheng nodded and said: "I know, in a small country in the southwest, Yelang is arrogant, and he actually wants to invade the Central Plains, but he was destroyed by Jia Yuan and Jia Daishan, father and son, by the way, the grandmother of the crown princess is the princess of this small country." ”

Wang Zisheng nodded, he didn't know what the crown princess looked like? However, the daughter of a six-rank official must be stunning if she takes a fancy to the lustful prince.

He said to Tu Yuansheng mysteriously: "This Hundred Jade Country is rich in golden cicadas and jade wood, and there is another thing in that place. ”

"What's that?" Tu Yuansheng asked in surprise.

"Beauty."

"Zisheng, what do you say!" Tu Yuansheng laughed for a while, "No wonder you must invite this messenger, the co-author is to go to the beauty." ”

Wang Zisheng clapped his hands outside, and after a while, a servant led several bewitching women in, "Master, look at which one can catch your eye, turn around and let her wait, you didn't bring a lady over, you can't be so plain all the time." ”

"I don't care about any of this, go down!" Tu Yuansheng didn't even look at it, waved his hand and let people go.

Wang Zisheng didn't persuade him again, continued to stay, and discussed with his disciple Yuansheng how to transport the golden cicada jade wood to the capital, so he retreated.

It is said that about the rebuilding of the Luanhe Palace, the courtiers generally disagreed, although they did not dare to say it in a book, but there were many discussions in private.

Some people say that Luan and Gong are the former residence of Emperor Wen's concubine Li, which was demolished on the order of the old queen mother, and now that decades have passed, it will be rebuilt, and it will inevitably not be criticized for being a waste of money and labor.

More people are speculating that Emperor Hongsheng suddenly rebuilt Luanhe Palace, is he preparing to correct the name of the noble concubine who was born in the dust, so that this royal secret that is almost forgotten by the people will be made public? Or maybe there is another newcomer to the palace, Emperor Hongsheng's actions, but he wants to show his affection, saying that he wants to learn from Emperor Wen and put the beauty in front of him.

Tu Yuanhui, who had been neglected by Emperor Hongsheng for some time, suddenly called into the imperial study, and as soon as he entered it, he saw Emperor Hongsheng frowning coldly, and threw a fold in front of him, "Prince, do you still have to listen to your opinion on the matter of my harem?" ”

Tu Yuanhui took the fold and looked at it, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly, because he didn't form a party and had a good reputation, but he gathered some clear streams, and the Qingliu civil officials were not afraid of death, so they fell in love with the admonition, and if the blood admonition court could have a good reputation, they all had the courage to do it.

At this time, these people will not give a fold to Emperor Hongsheng, saying that the rebuilding of Luanhe Palace is purely a waste of labor and money, and the palace is so big, they don't believe that they can't even let go of a mother, why bother to displace the people, and the pain is unspeakable!

Seeing that Tu Yuanhui's expression was flat, Emperor Hongsheng was a little angry, and said: "Don't think I don't know, Bai Deheng is your person, Yuan Zixin is your person, and Qiu Ru's stubborn old man often praises you, why do you all close your eyes one by one, and you don't know anything?" ”

"Father's anger!" Tu Yuanhui's heart sank, "Erchen has been the prince for many years, and he has never acted beyond the rules, let alone deceived the emperor. It's just that Bai Deheng, Yuan Zixin and others have always been upright and honest, and the sons appreciated their character and talents, so they walked a little closer, and if the father misunderstood them, it would be the sons and daughters' fault. ”

"Don't bite your fault!" Emperor Hongsheng reprimanded angrily: "You are now full-fledged, and you feel that you are the best in the world, right? Thinking that I was in the way of you, the prince was not angry, so he instructed his subordinates to deliberately cause trouble, didn't he deliberately want to damage my reputation? Are you urging me to move your seat? ”

"If the son has this intention, he is willing to be thundered by the sky!" Tu Yuanhui's body involuntarily coldened.

Now Emperor Hongsheng is becoming more and more cold to him, the prince, and the father and son seem to be more and more estranged, Tu Yuanhui once thought about improving the relationship with Emperor Hongsheng, but every time he returns, he can't help but be a little discouraged, and even wonder if Emperor Hongsheng has already intended to replace himself with Tu Yuanye, but later found that Emperor Hongsheng is not only cold to his prince, but also to his other sons.

"This Bai Deheng is too crazy, he dares to point fingers at me, what kind of thing is he!" Emperor Hongsheng said loudly: "Decree, Bai Deheng, the governor of Dongshan Prefecture, is an improper official, discussing royal affairs in vain, and ordering the dismissal and dismissal!" ”

"Your Majesty, you can't!" Tu Yuanhui was shocked, Bai Deheng entered the official career, honest and self-controlled, checked the people's feelings, and even ignored his age, visited the countryside many times, and won the love of the local people, and the evaluation of the officials was also among the best, and now it was because of a few outspoken words that offended Emperor Hongsheng, and he was taken off the gauze hat.

"Bai Deheng is very outspoken, please understand that he is for the sake of the people, and let him go!"

"Prince, but I touched your cronies, and you don't like it in your heart, so you deliberately go against me?" Emperor Hongsheng slammed the table, "Okay, you kneel down, this time I openly contradicted me, I won't punish you, when is the wrong time to hand it to the fold and then go out of the East Palace." ”

At this time, Tu Yuanhui was not in a hurry, but sighed secretly, and said four words in his mouth, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" "I really went down with the people, and since then, I have closed the door of the East Palace.

Tu Yuanye stood in the Wangyuan Pavilion at the highest point of Huaguang Temple, looking at the good men and women who climbed up religiously like ants under the mountain, and sighed: "People are all the same, just begging God to give them a chance." ”

Behind him, Tu Yuancheng said with a smile: "Fourth brother, God has given us a chance, we can't miss it, Tu Yuanhui is planted, and now he is grounded, and then later, I am afraid that it will not be far from the circle." ”

"Don't take it lightly," Tu Yuanye turned the Buddha beads in his hand, "He just offended his father by saying a good word to Bai Deheng, and there is nothing wrong with him, but after a few days, the emperor will be angry, and he will become a nobody again." ”

"Fourth brother, he's right, can't you make something wrong for him?" Tu Yuancheng said disdainfully: "Tu Yuanhui, the prince, has also been in office for more than 20 years, so he can't think of something to rebel?" ”

When the sun set, Gonggong An and his people have been standing outside the imperial study for a long time, counting from Li Xiang's entry, more than two hours have passed, the two monarchs and ministers seem to have been talking, and there is also the sound of "ping pong" falling to the ground in the middle, and everyone naturally knows that Emperor Hongsheng is angry again.

It's just that there has been no summons in the house, and Emperor Hongsheng has already ordered that no one is allowed to go in and disturb him, so Gonggong An had to lead someone to wait carefully on the porch, and he didn't even dare to stretch out his head to look inside.

After waiting for a while, Li Xiang, who had a cold face, finally came out of it, and Gonggong An and the eunuchs took two steps back, and watched Li Xiang walk away.

"Lao Anzi, come in and clean up!" The voice of the Hongsheng Emperor sounded.

Father-in-law An hurriedly responded and hurriedly ran in.

At this time, the ground in front of the imperial case was a mess, scattered with all kinds of folds, the imperial pen, the Huanghuali ruler, the azure inkstone that was smashed into the corner, and the ink splashed everywhere.

Emperor Hongsheng was leaning against the bookcase at this time, and seemed to be looking at the plaque hanging on the wall.

After the palace maids and eunuchs cleaned up the imperial case and the ground, Gonggong An looked at the unmoving back of Emperor Hongsheng, and was about to withdraw with others, but was stopped by Emperor Hongsheng, "Old Anzi, I have something to ask you." ”

"Yes." An Gonggong stopped when he was in office.

Emperor Hongsheng sighed, returned to his seat, and asked, "What has been the movement in the East Palace these days?" ”

"The palace door has been closed," Gonggong An looked at Emperor Hongsheng's face and said, "I think the prince is thinking about it behind closed doors." ”

Emperor Hongsheng sneered: "Have you thought about it behind closed doors? What has he done? The prince's people can cry out for him everywhere, saying that the prince is generous and benevolent, sympathetic to his subjects, and can't bear to see the palace building and work the people and lose money, but because he spoke up for the officials who advised me, he angered me, the faint king! ”

"Uh......" Grandpa An choked for a long time, not knowing how to answer, thinking that this was the gossip brought in by Li Xiang.

"Now the prestige of the prince is growing, it can be said that everyone expects it, everyone calls him virtuous, compared to it, I am really mediocre, and I still block his way, I am not old yet!"

Gonggong An couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, maybe there is some misunderstanding in this?" The prince has been a filial and sensible person since he was a child, you raised a child yourself, what kind of character he is, don't you still know it? ”

"What kind of character is he?" Emperor Hongsheng stood up suddenly, "I'm really getting more and more incomprehensible! You see, how honest and loyal he looks on his face, behind his back, he even has to suppress his own brothers, and, look at how he treats his relatives, his nurse Mrs. Qian, who was ordered by Queen Xiaodun to pull him so hard, what is the end now? How can such a mean and ungrateful person be worthy of being the king of a country! ”

"The emperor is angry!" Grandpa An sighed in his heart.

Because he grew up with Emperor Hongsheng since he was a child, Gonggong An knows the emperor's temperament best, if he likes a person, he is good everywhere; If you are disgusted, then everything is hateful, Gonggong An originally thought that Emperor Hongsheng only did this to his subordinates, but it turned out that his prince could not escape this catastrophe.

"Li Fuguo, this old thing, also intercedes for the crown prince, saying that he is just young and vigorous, and he is so happy, but he wants to show his ability in front of me," Emperor Hongsheng's voice became colder and colder.

The recent movement in the court really scared Emperor Hongsheng, and almost everyone in the Manchu Dynasty knelt down to plead for mercy, does this mean that the prince was unknowingly praised by the Manchu Dynasty?

and Li Xiang, because his daughter and Tu Yuanhui were a little dirty, they even came to plead, which was obviously Tu Yuanhui who convinced this old guy.

"I said that the prince is a wolf at all, and he actually privately sent people to keep an eye on other princes, you say, is there also a prince around me, and now my words and deeds have immediately reached the ears of the prince?" This is what Emperor Hongsheng thinks in his heart.

If it weren't for this time, he wouldn't have seen that Tu Yuanhui would have such a big influence in the court.

Gonggong An has already knelt on the ground, "The emperor is angry, only the old slave is brave, please don't listen to the emperor's words, why don't you call the prince over to talk, the father and son have said everything, right and wrong, should be beaten and punished, presumably the prince will listen to you." ”

"No, I don't see him!" Emperor Hongsheng was really angry.

***

When Feng Yu'er entered the study, she saw Tu Yuanhui sitting in front of the bookcase with his hands in his hands in a daze, and after hesitating for a moment, Feng Yu'er walked over lightly, picked up the thrush ink on the table, and gently grinded it on the inkstone.

Tu Yuanhui silently looked at Feng Yu'er, who lowered his head and was concentrating on grinding ink, and after a while, he stretched out a hand and said, "Come here, sit with me." ”

Feng Yu'er obediently stepped forward and was pulled into his arms by Tu Yuanhui.

"I didn't expect that after all these years of hard work, I was still suspicious of my father like this!" Tu Yuanhui sighed.

Feng Yu'er knew that he was uncomfortable, so he didn't speak, no matter how much he said, it was useless, it was better to be quiet.

"Yu'er, maybe it's really that time, if there is a bad pool, you will have to be involved in the future, and you will suffer with me." Tu Yuanhui said in a low voice.

"How can you say that you can endure hardship," Feng Yu'er said with a smile: "Now that I have been on this thief ship, I want to live and die with you," said Feng Yu'er straightened up, "Actually, in my selfish heart, we have been guarding together every day for the past few days, I think it's good, let it make trouble outside, let's live ours." ”

"You don't have a heart or lungs," Tu Yuanhui motioned to Feng Yu'er to help him rub his head, "It's okay, marrying you like this is also worry-free, even if you are defeated outside, you don't have to worry about going home, and you have to look at the faces of the insiders." ”

"Who dares to show you a look," Feng Yu'er slapped Tu Yuanhui coquettishly, "This palace is still counting on you for eating and drinking, you are a parent of food and clothing, but you have to follow you in everything." 166 Reading Network
