Mao Xiang was late, Zhu Yuanzhang pulled out all the thorns on the scepter, and then issued the "Amnesty Hu Party Blue Party Edict", announcing that he would not continue to pursue the officials who reported Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu's rebellion, as if painting and gilding the scepter and handing it over to his successor Zhu Yunwen beautifully.

Emperor Hongwu thought that everything was perfect, and he could finally go with peace of mind. The conspiracy of the East Palace against the Four Emperor Uncles who were far away in Beiping had just begun.

Kaifeng, Henan, Zhou Wangfu.

Zhou King Zhu Hu since the opening of the domain for 16 years, the emperor is far away, his father can no longer control him, the Zhou palace is located in the Central Plains, life is comfortable, unlike the feudal kings who guard the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty - such as Yan Wang Zhu Di worries about defense all day long, busy with Tuntian training.

There is a virtuous princess Feng in the palace of the king of Zhou to deal with internal affairs, and there are shrewd and capable officials and ministers to take care of political affairs, plus his brother Zhu Di has instructed not to ask about national affairs, Zhu Hu simply devoted himself to medicine, he and the princess of Zhou Feng have been childless, more and more compassionate, saving the world as their own responsibility.

In recent years, he has compiled medical books such as "Puji Fang" and "Pocket Fang", which have saved countless lives, so although he is lazy with government affairs and does not know general affairs, with the spread of several medical books among the people, the benevolence of Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, is also highly praised.

Princess Feng of Zhou was quietly facing a table of sumptuous dishes alone. Today's beginning of winter, the size is a festival, ordinary people gather together at home, chop meat and make dumplings, only the magnificent Zhou Wangfu is silent.

In the previous festivals, the palace hung a red lantern and set off firecrackers, which could add some joy, but now the princess Feng's father, Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, was involved in the Lanyu case, was robbed, given death, the family was confiscated, and Feng's younger brother Feng Cheng was also imprisoned, and he still knows whether he is alive or dead.

The Feng family suffered a heavy blow, and the Feng family begged her husband King Zhou to intercede for her father Feng Sheng. After all, Feng Sheng is his father-in-law, and Zhu Hu, as his son-in-law, did write to Emperor Hongwu to intercede, but he was an idle prince, where could he stop Emperor Hongwu's determination to get rid of all possible threats to the authority of the emperor's grandson?

The reply that King Zhou got was a scolding from Emperor Hongwu, and he also deducted half a year's money.

Feng had to beg King Zhou to get a letter to his brother Zhu Di, King of Yan, and asked Zhu Di to beg Emperor Hongwu to save Feng Sheng's life.

However, King Zhou, who has always been soft-hearted, resolutely rejected Feng's cry.

Zhu Hu said: "It's just that I'm scolded, anyway, I'm used to being scolded." But my brother can't do it, he has always been suspicious of the East Palace and his father. He also often fought with his father-in-law and Lan Yu on the Northern Expedition, and if he interceded for his father-in-law, someone with a heart would definitely take the opportunity to involve him in the Lan Yu case. In this way, we can't rescue my father-in-law, but also put my brother in it, and my brother also has a wife and children to take care of at home, so we can't be too willful. ”

Feng Shi was discouraged, sat down on the chair, and muttered: "You have a hard time, and King Yan also has a hard time, does my father deserve to die?" Could it be that my Feng family has been defeated since then? My father has been fighting horses for half his life, all for the Ming Dynasty, why does the emperor want to cause my father to die? It's not fair, it's not fair! ”

"I also think that my father-in-law will not rebel, but ......" Zhu Huan couldn't help, "My father has always said the same, when the queen mother was still in the past, he was still able to convince his father, who else can do it now?" ”

Under grief and despair, Feng lost his mind, and the resentment that had accumulated for years erupted, and he didn't know the strength that came from, so he stood up and pushed Zhu Hu violently, Zhu Hu couldn't reach it, and was actually pushed down by his wife, and his waist hit the corner of the table, curling up in pain.

Seeing her husband's embarrassed appearance, Feng's emotions collapsed, "It's because you are cowardly and incompetent that you will always be at the mercy of others!" No matter what is arranged by the emperor, you obviously like Wang Yinnu, but you let the emperor give marriage to King Qin! The second sister-in-law was finally buried! You don't even have the courage to see her one last time, you know to hide in a pharmacy to escape reality! ”

Under the huge pressure, Feng Shi laughed like crazy, "Haha, I'm so naïve, a dignified man, I can't even keep my most beloved person!" What can I do to save my father? What sin did I create in my last life, to marry a useless husband like you! ”

Zhu Hu was so ridiculed by his wife, he was not annoyed, he held on to the corner of the table and stood up, "Princess, you have been worried about your mother's affairs day and night, and you have not slept for three days, if you continue like this, your spirit and body will collapse, I will prescribe you a medicine to calm your nerves and help you sleep, you take the medicine, take a hot bath, and rest early-"

"Enough!" Feng Shi dropped a vase, "You know medicine and medicine all day long, even if you can hang the pot to help the world and save the world." But what is the use of not saving the people you love and your relatives? ”

The vase smashed against the wall, shattering, just like their marriage.

Zhu Hu was not good at words, and said: "Whether I recognize that person or not, whether it has anything to do with me or not, it is the duty of a doctor to save one." ”

Feng sneered: "But your pharmacy loses money all year round, and it takes energy and money to compile medical books. But you obviously eat the prince's food, why don't you want to think about your duty as the prince of the Ming Dynasty? Don't want to think about your duty as a husband and son-in-law? ”

Zhu Hu was speechless, and said for a long time: "You feel uncomfortable, I won't quarrel with you." I've moved to the pharmacy these days, and you're alone. ”

Feng sneered: "Whatever the prince, anyway, you are in the palace, and your heart is also on the side of the pharmacy." ”

Zhu Hu immediately moved to the pharmacy, at first he was a little annoyed, but then he thought about it, Feng was also a poor person, so he personally prescribed the medicine, grabbed the medicine, and ordered someone to send it to the Zhou Palace, and decocted the princess.

At that time, Feng gradually calmed down, the maid brought the decoction, and Feng asked, "This is sent by the prince?" ”

The maid did not dare to lie, "Yes. ”

Feng sighed in his heart, picked up the medicine cup, and drank it all.

A month passed, Feng's pale face gradually became bloody, and Feng told himself to be strong, his father had been given death, and as a princess, she was not allowed to leave Beijing without a will, so she never even saw her father's last face. But his younger brother Feng Cheng is still in prison - at least the Feng family is not like the Blue Jade family, as long as he lives, there is hope.

In particular, the news that Lan Yu's human skin was sent to the Eleventh Prince's Mansion and Princess Lan of Shu, who were thousands of miles away by Jinyi Guard, fainted on the spot. The Feng family comforted himself, compared to the Lan family, the Feng family was not too miserable, and there might be room for maneuver......

A month later, it was the beginning of winter, Feng prepared a table of wine and food, and sent the maid to the pharmacy to invite the prince back for the holiday.

When the twilight □□ arrived, the maid came in and saluted, "Princess, the prince said that he would adjust a few recipes, and he won't come back for dinner today." ”

Feng Shi was silent and did not move his chopsticks, and after a while, he said: "After all, today is Lidong, do you ask if the prince will come back to live tonight?" ”

"This ......," said the maid, who muttered for a moment, "the slave and maid will ask." ”

In fact, the maid actually thought that the prince who was obsessed with medicine would not come back, but in front of the princess, she didn't dare to say it directly.

The maid retreated, and as soon as she arrived at the door, Feng said: "No need to ask, look at the sky, I'm afraid it will snow tonight, the prince will spend the night in the pharmacy, you use the smoker to warm the bedding, put together a brazier, and persuade the prince to rest and don't stay up late after three watches." “

"Yes." The maid hesitated: "The third watch is sleeping, but what if the prince doesn't listen?" “

Feng Shi said coldly: "You are crying and kneeling one by one and begging the prince to put down the medical book and rest, the prince is the most soft-hearted, and he will agree." “

The maid should go down and leave. Feng Shi was alone in front of the table full of dishes, without any appetite, just poured himself a drink to dispel his sorrows: Lord Wang, you are soft on everyone, when others cry and beg, you agree, but what about me? The prince is so ruthless......

Just thinking about it, the palace people handed over a famous post, "Princess Niangniang, there is a grandmother who asked to see her, saying that it was the internal manager of the Feng family, and she rushed to Kaifeng from the capital overnight. “

I heard that my mother's family was here, and when I opened the name post, the handwriting on it was my younger brother Feng Cheng's own handwriting, Feng was overjoyed, and said, "Please come in." “

A middle-aged grandmother with an extraordinary temperament visited Princess Zhou, but when Feng Shi saw it, her face suddenly changed, "You are the female official next to Concubine Lu of the East Palace, how can you have my brother's name card in your hand?" “

Mama smiled: "Since Princess Zhou knows me, I don't have to waste time explaining my identity." That's right, I am Concubine Lu's person, and this famous post was also written by Feng Cheng himself. He was previously imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison, the emperor disbanded Jinyiwei, Mao Xiang Lingchi, the edict prison was closed, and Feng Cheng was pressed into the prison of the Criminal Department. Princess Zhou Bingxue is smart, and she should know that the Criminal Department is now the world of the Lu family. “

Feng sneered: "No, soon even the entire imperial court will be under the world of your Lu family. “

Mama smiled: "Don't dare to be, the world has always belonged to the Zhu family." Princess Zhou, the slave maid is on the order of the master to make a deal with you, if you think it is cost-effective, please cooperate with us to write a letter to Princess Yan. Of course, if you don't think it's appropriate, we won't force it—it's just that Feng Cheng is afraid that he will be beheaded in the wax moon. “

Feng Shi said coldly: "The emperor is still here, don't think that the Lu family can really cover the sky with one hand." “

Mama said: "Princess Zhou doesn't know, the emperor promulgated the "Amnesty Hu Party Blue Party Edict", and the situation has changed. “

Feng said: "Don't think that I am not in the capital and know nothing about the current situation. The "Edict of the Blue Party of the Hu Party" only pardons the officials who have been reported later, and those who have been detained for retrial before are not within the scope of the pardon, and my younger brother has long been imprisoned in the edict. “

Mama smiled: "The Criminal Department can write Feng Cheng's name in the pardon list in the name of insufficient evidence. ”

Feng Shi paused and asked, "What letter do you want me to write to my fourth sister-in-law?" ”

Mama smiled: "You just said that the emperor is terminally ill, and he still doesn't worry about Zhu Shouqian, who has been deposed as a concubine and imprisoned in Fengyang, is about to send someone to secretly execute him, and said that Zhu Shouqian's depravity was self-defilement in the past, in order to protect Princess Yan's cousin." ”

Princess Zhou said with a straight face: "The fourth sister-in-law is smart and cautious, she won't believe your nonsense." ”

Mama handed a small box, "This is the evidence, Zhu Shouqian's wife Xu is actually a henchman installed by the emperor, and every month she reports everything her husband does to the emperor in detail, and even Wushisan is deliberately poisoned by Xu, causing Zhu Shouqian to become addicted." 166 Reading Network
