……

The emperor chases the sorrow of his siblings, and every time he feels nostalgic, the prince personally visits the advisor, the more he cares for him, and the edict of the imperial physician chooses a good prescription, the survival of the body, the great limit is difficult to move, the life is short and long, the number of the underworld has been determined, the face is dying and the early thanks, and the sage is zero, and the thirteenth year of the fifth month of the fifth day of the fifth day of the thirteenth year of the Ming Dynasty is in private, and he is one in the thirtieth year of Chinese New Year's Eve. Belch! The moon is obscure, the stars are shining, the eyebrows are withered and the willows are green, the face is Xie Honglian, the bleak grass and trees, the miserable wind and smoke, although the ancients have all died, Princess Danzhu is too young. ”

Li Mingwei stayed in front of the princess's spirit for three days, and the emperor ordered him to enter the palace to meet him.

Li Mingwei hurriedly changed his regular clothes and entered the palace, the monarch and the ministers were embarrassed to see each other, Li Mingwei knelt down and thanked the emperor, the excerpt of thanksgiving passed in the morning, and he had to bow down when he saw the emperor, the emperor personally helped him up, gave him a seat and sighed, "Aiqing's beloved daughter was raised by the crown princess in the palace, and Qing's two sons lived in the prince's private residence. ”

Li Mingwei had already heard about it, "It is difficult for the old minister to repay the prince's kindness if he is broken." ”

The monarch and the minister talked about family affection, the topic turned to state affairs, the officialdom in Jiangnan is going to make a big move, the proclamation made Feng Huining go to Jiangnan, and Dark Yunwei also collected some evidence, the situation in Jiangnan is delicate, and the whole body is affected, Li Mingwei is the local pacification of the governor's military affairs, Jiangnan is inseparable from his seat to maintain stability.

The emperor asked for a long time, Li Ming's only qiē was in control, and when it came to military affairs, Li Mingwei was busy sending troops to suppress bandits, and even a small group of water villages refused to let go, and he was nicknamed "Hades King Li", and was criticized by the officials, saying that he spent military resources and invited fame in vain.

"Your Majesty, don't say that bandits and thieves are scabies, they burn, kill and loot, the people are miserable, the old minister has seen the people of a village was looted by more than ten bandits, the robbers plundered the strong men, raped and killed young women, cut off the people's way of life, forced them to follow the thieves, these thieves go back to farm when they are busy, and wait until they are idle to go out to rob the house, the old minister thinks that these people should be wiped out, in order to correct the law of the country."

Dark Yunwei also has a similar report, there are dozens of large and small gangs in Jiangnan, what Qinglong Gang, Seven Star Gang, Changle Gang and other big gangs, those small gangs are even more numerous, the people in Jiangnan are rich, and there are many caravans, raising a cadre of people who do not work hard, etc., if they are not punished, sooner or later it will cause a big disaster, the emperor listened to it and thought it was true.

"Li Qing, you are in Jiangnan, if necessary, I will allow you to act cheaply, and you must clear the officialdom and kill the bandits."

The emperor asked Li Mingwei to fully cooperate with Feng Huining, and the two of his monarchs and ministers talked for a long time, and the emperor gave a banquet, "The prince must not have leisure to meet the Japanese mission, let him visit the palace tomorrow." ”

Li Mingwei hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and the emperor smiled and chatted about family life, "I heard that the old lady of your family helped the prince choose a concubine?" ”

Li Mingwei couldn't help but blushed with shame, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "The minister's rule is not good, the old mother doesn't know what is going on, and the minister has already restrained her." ”

The emperor smiled when he heard this, "The prince should also choose two concubines around him, just pay attention to your old lady, be sure to be innocent and dignified, Aiqing is the prince's father, and Qing should also be careful." ”

Li Mingwei hurriedly smiled, "Lao Chen heard that the daughter of the Feng family is very good, her father is from a good family, her mother is the daughter of a famous family, the daughter of the Feng family is smart, the only deficiency is that she is still young, and the old minister thinks that His Majesty can be raised in the palace first, and the prince is a person who values love and righteousness, so the feelings of getting along with each other since childhood must be different." ”

The emperor nodded again and again, and asked the maidservant Jiang Xian beside the old lady.

Jiangxian got a beautiful difference, and every day she would write down a few, what the old lady received, talked to the lady, and wrote down which lady she saw again, and the old lady had a stack of gifts.

Li Mingwei secretly gritted his teeth, his face full of smiles, "This servant girl has served the prince since she was a child, and the four servant girls around the prince are all smart and beautiful, and they all know a few words, and the prince allows them to study." ”

"Since she has served the prince, let her enter the palace to be a red xia veil, and then the old lady of your mansion will select four innocent women, all of whom will be awarded the purple xia veil to enrich the prince's harem."

The emperor is about to send a flower and bird envoy to choose concubines for the crown prince and the kings, and the old lady of the Hou Mansion also has privileges, and the four women who have been personally selected have the qualifications of Zixia as soon as they enter the palace, and they are not ordinary palace maids.

Li Mingwei had no choice but to agree, and secretly complained in his heart.

He has made so many feats with sweat, if he is stained with the side of the beauty pageant, his reputation will be unbearable, who will remember the merits he made in Jiangnan, and only regard him as a flattering villain, not to mention that the princess is his own daughter, where is Li Mingwei willing to find himself uncomfortable, he wishes that the prince only spoiled the princess in his heart.

If the crown princess gives birth to her eldest son, then she will say something else, she is not happy to be gracious, and now the prince's harem is still empty, Li Mingwei doesn't want to have a beauty to share the favor with his daughter, or wait for him to have a grandson, these words in his heart can't be said to the emperor, Li Mingwei followed the emperor's words in his mouth, and had other plans in his heart.

Farewell to the emperor and returned to Anguo Houfu, several concubines dressed up and took them out, Li Houye was ruthless, waved his hand to let them all roll, wandered in the courtyard for a while, saw the flowers and was sad, and wanted to cry when he saw the willow tree, it is difficult for him to find a suitable hostess in this back house, and which woman can be stronger than Princess Danzhu.

and his wife, Qi, the biological mother of the crown princess, Li Mingwei thought of Qi, and couldn't help but go over there, and saw the lotus flowers in the pond from a distance.

Li Mingwei didn't want to enter the house, so he ordered someone to move a chair and sit in the shade of a tree to enjoy the shade.

In the second half of the night, Zhou Yun came over with his entourage, and Zhou Yun didn't let his subordinates pass the news inside, inquiring about the Hou Ye taking a cool day under the big tree, Zhou Yun raised his eyebrows, this is really a strange thing.

Zhou Yun came over familiarly.

Li Ming only looked up and saw the figure of the prince from a distance, Zhou Yun was wearing a plain suit, wearing a jade belt around his waist, holding a folding fan of Xiangfei bamboo in his hand, and his bearing became more and more graceful, Li Mingwei keenly felt that the prince was a little different.

Li Mingwei greeted him and wanted to kneel down to salute, but Zhou Yun hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, "Father Shang doesn't have to be like this." ”

Li Mingwei got up and looked at Zhou Yun with a smile, "The prince is getting more and more old. ”

Old? He grew old as soon as he was old, Zhou Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In a high position, he can't help but fly away like in the past, seeing that he is about to be a father, he can only restrain his past temperament, his identity, every word and deed has to be paid attention to, after the funeral of cousin Danzhu, Zhou Yun is like a somersault in the world, and many little things that he didn't care about also think about it.

He just thinks less, and his cousin will die.

The servant brought another chair, served the tea, and retreated.

Zhou Yun smiled faintly, "Father Shang must know why my cousin is gone." ”

The royal family is hiding their thoughts, where can these things be hidden from Li Mingwei, his two sons and a daughter are still living in the prince's private residence, Li Mingwei heard the prince say this, but it is not easy to answer.

Li Mingwei pondered his words, "The prince has good intentions for the dog, and the woman in the princess's boudoir is difficult to understand the prince's mind for a while. ”

Zhou Yun glanced at him, "Father Shang is so high-sounding, Zhou Yun is deeply instructed, when I was a child, Father Shang didn't talk to me like this." ”

"Where do the old ministers dare to be presumptuous." Li Mingwei had no choice but to laugh.

Zhou Yun laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's my sin no matter what, if I could think more about my cousin's situation at that time, it wouldn't be like this, Brother Min'er can't complain about my cousin, the big mistake has been made, it's too late to say anything." ”

Li Mingwei still wanted to persuade a few words, Zhou Yun smiled faintly, "Father Shang doesn't need to say much, I understand those truths, I grew up in the Hou Mansion since I was a child, and Brother Jin'er is almost the same as my own brother, and Yufang's marriage, I don't want her to marry the son of Xun Qi, and the family that the princess set for her can't say bad, there is just a family." ”

"Yufang's marriage is still in charge of the prince, the old minister has no words, the old minister still wants to ask for a favor, the prince will take Brother Cheng out, he is also four years old this year, and he should understand the matter." R1152
