Chapter 88

The crown prince Nanjing is an ancestral system, and under normal circumstances, it cannot be regarded as a punishment. When the capital was first moved from Nanjing to the capital, it was the emperor who controlled the whole country in the capital, and the crown prince who stabilized the rear in Nanjing. Later, because Nanjing had a complete bureaucratic system, the prince could use it to familiarize himself with political affairs, so the system of the prince's supervision of the state in Nanjing has continued.

The current prince, why can he stay in the capital all the time? Because of the emperor's body. Five or six years ago, the emperor deliberately ordered him to go to Nanjing, but unfortunately the emperor fell ill that year, and the crown prince did not make the trip. The emperor is fat and not very well, he is worried that if he really does not live for three or two years, maybe one day he will die if he is not careful, and the prince will have to work hard to rush back from Nanjing, working hard and hurting the people and money, and the matter has been delayed.

Over the years, in fact, the emperor has also felt deeply inconvenienced. The crown prince is in his early twenties, when he is in the prime of life, with such a young, handsome and heroic son in front of him, this son is gradually participating in politics, and gradually there are officials who support him, can the emperor not think too much? However, because he and Empress Zhang were both in their fifties, the emperor did not send the crown prince far away to Nanjing.

Now, the situation has changed. The emperor looked at what Empress Zhang did coldly, imagining what would happen if she dared to leave early, and she became the queen mother? She will definitely force Xiao Shi to marry a woman she doesn't like and live an unhappy life. As for Qiu Guifei, nine out of nine will be forced to be martyred, and she will not be able to escape even her life, and the three sons of Little Eleven, Little Twelve, and Little Thirteen will also be very miserable, and it is difficult to say whether they can grow up smoothly.

"I can't die." Thinking about this situation, the emperor's eyes became cold.

Since he had this heart, he decided to send the prince to Nanjing. In Nanjing, the prince can let go of his hands and feet to familiarize himself with government affairs, but outside Nanjing, the prince doesn't want to care.

Of course, he would not make such a major decision casually, and he had also discussed it with the cabinet ministers, Liubu Shangshu and others before. The emperor is old, the prince is in the prime of life, this situation is very sensitive, whether it is a cabinet minister, or a book of six books, which one is not a long-standing officialdom? As soon as the emperor spoke, they were all submissive, "The ancestral system is like this, and Your Majesty is wise." ”

No one dared to object. Regardless of whether there were any of them who secretly supported the crown prince, no one dared to object anyway.

When the emperor asked Pei Shangshu, Pei Shangshu looked solemn, "Your Majesty's spring and autumn season is flourishing, and the coming day is long, so it should be like this." ”

You're only in your fifties, and you're still a good age, that's how you should be.

Ordinary princes can be sealed and have no real power in the hands of the prince, but the prince is different, the prince must participate in political affairs. Otherwise, as soon as the old emperor lies down, the crown prince doesn't know anything about government affairs, who will govern the country? The crown prince can't help but be involved in government affairs, and it is inconvenient to get involved too deeply in politics when the old emperor is still alive, and Nanjing is the most suitable to supervise the country. The emperor does not have to be suspicious of the crown prince, the prince does not have to be tied, and he can run Nanjing as a small court, but this small court is just a formality, and there is no threat to the emperor. Isn't this the best way to deal with the relationship between the old emperor and the prince in the prime of life? Pei Shangshu saw this very clearly, even if he had no intersection or contact with the royal family, he would approve of it. At this point, Pei Shangshu has no selfish intentions.

Although Pei Shangshu had no selfish intentions, he knew very well that once the prince left the capital and went to Nanjing, the blow to Empress Zhang would be very big. Empress Zhang would see this as a sign that the emperor was disgusted with the crown prince and panicked.

Pei Shangshu would love to see this.

He can't be regarded as a person who loves to hold grudges, but if someone wants to step on the face of the Pei family, despise and calculate the treasure of the Pei family, he can't help but mind.

Raise your little face and giggle to express your joy. She and Queen Zhang have met several times, and each time she has very unpleasant memories, thinking that Queen Zhang's wishful thinking has failed, thinking about Queen Zhang's disappointed appearance, how can she not be happy.

"Grandfather, am I being a little stingy?" Giggling, he asked in a very self-examining spirit. Empress Zhilu Daozhang is not very happy, I am so happy, grandfather, is this not very good, is this not generous enough.

Pei Shangshu smiled, "It's true that I'm a little stingy, but my grandfather, like Xiao, can't be generous." ”

Laughing merrily. Grandfather, you are so frank, so straightforward, so cute!

Pei Shangshu took the little hand and walked up to the room, "Nan, let's go into the house and talk." He shook his head again and again, "No, I don't dare to let my grandmother see it." Grandfather, this is the time of day, and if my grandmother sees that I haven't slept yet, she will not follow me. Pei Shangshu deliberately straightened his face, "Xiao is disobedient, right?" Children should go to bed early, but they have to stay up late. "Well, don't you want to wait for you to come back and whisper a few words to you?" Pei Shangshu looked at the flower-like smile, and the corners of his mouth curled.

The door of the upper room opened, and Mrs. Fang's voice was heard. Hurriedly told his grandfather, "I'm back, I'll go to bed!" Grandfather smiled, "Come back, baby, you have to get up early tomorrow, the villain's house, you can't sleep enough." ”

A puff of smoke ran away.

Pei Shangshu looked at her light little figure, and his heart was crisp.

Back in the upper room, Mrs. Fang greeted her, "Why is it getting late and late?" Pei Shangshu stroked his beard and smiled, "Madame doesn't know what to do?" The more a man is used and the more promising, the later he comes home. Mrs. Fang gave him a disgusted look, "When did you learn to brag about yourself?" After a few laughs, Mrs. Fang urged him to wash.

Pei Shangshu washed up and came out and crooked on the couch, and the old couple gossiped about homely. The two of them have been harmonious since they became relatives, and their relationship is very good, Pei Shangshu has been busy during the day, and only at night, in the dead of night, can they talk quietly and privately.

"Ma'am, I'm having a good time today." Pei Shangshu smiled.

"Got the money? Promoted again? Mrs. Fang laughed and teased him.

"Neither." Pei Shangshu smiled, and said that the crown prince Nanjing was in charge of the country, and Empress Zhang didn't know how frightened and uneasy she would be at this time, and she was stingy with joy in her heart. After hearing this, Mrs. Fang said: "You are a minister, you can only be happy, me, an ignorant woman in the inner house, I am obviously happy!" ”

Queen Zhang is going to frown, worry, and panic? I'm happy!

Thinking of how the high-ranking woman calculated small, Mrs. Fang felt disgusted. The queen of the middle palace, even if she can't be "young and young", at least she can't treat other people's precious children as grass.

The old couple talked about Queen Zhang, and they both felt a little happy in their hearts.

In fact, if the queen and the prince have no major negligence, their status will generally not be shaken. However, I can't stop Queen Zhang's cranky thoughts and worries. She must be worried about the future, which can be seen from her early planning for the Ten Princes. According to common sense, the tenth prince is still young, less than ten years old, and has not yet been crowned king, isn't it too early to decide the princess candidate for him at this time, isn't it obviously weird? But such a strange thing, Queen Zhang actually did it.

If this is just one thing, Pei Shangshu and Mrs. Fang can still understand: she is old, in her early fifties, and she is afraid that one day she will leave, and her beloved youngest son will not be found. The family she chose for the Ten Princes is rich and powerful, and she is also in-law with the Zhang family, which seems reasonable.

However, in this case, she also indulged the ten princes to frequently go out of the palace to see Xiao, so she was cold and inauthentic. You have already chosen a princess for your son, and he has a close relationship with another little girl from an official family, don't you even care about it and don't ask? I don't want to think about what the little girl will do when she grows up.

After that, her various actions were even more pure bullying. You love to give your youngest son an early marriage, you decide yours, and it has nothing to do with our Pei family. But you want to marry your youngest son, and you also hold on to my little baby, which is too much.

"Madam, do you think she's going to get sick?" Pei Shangshu humbly asked his wife for advice.

Mrs. Fang smiled slightly, "Of course we don't want Her Royal Highness the Empress to get sick, but she is not very open-minded, and it is inevitable that she will get sick." Master, guess that if she falls ill at this time, will His Majesty order someone to assist in the Six Palaces? "The queen is sick, which concubine dares to stand up and help the queen take charge of palace affairs.

If it is left in the official's house, even if the main room is sick, there is no reason for the concubine's housekeeper, and it is not good. But the royal family is different from ordinary people, the emperor's wife is the queen, the concubine or the concubine, pull it out and see, which grade is not low.

The rank of the imperial concubine is not lower than that of the princess. In other words, the emperor's concubines, if not higher than the wives of his brothers, are at least on an equal footing. If this was put on the ordinary family, the brother's concubine and the younger brother's wife would have the same status, and the family would have become a mess.

This family is different from each other. The affairs of his family are different from those of other people, and they cannot be speculated according to common sense.

"I guess so." Pei Shangshu said firmly.

"It's not evil to be idle in illness." Mrs. Fang's voice was faint, "Some people, they can get sick and lie down, maybe there are some benefits." ”

Usually hot, once you lie down, you can still calm down, and you can do less foolish things in the future.

Pei Shangshu thought so.

The old couple said this "very gracelessly" and went to bed happily.

Pei Shangshu and they were not mistaken, Queen Zhang was indeed confused and uneasy at this time, and she didn't know what to do. The eldest son was going to leave the capital, leave her, and go to Nanjing, this news was really a bolt from the blue for her. She seemed to see the crown prince suffering in the countryside, and Qiu Guifei or some other young concubine slandered in front of the emperor, and slowly the emperor alienated the prince, and even abolished the prince and set up another prince......

Thinking so, Empress Zhang was about to scare herself to death.

She can't be blamed entirely for her crankiness. This world belongs to the emperor, although there are various rules and constraints, but if the emperor is really determined to do something, even if it violates the ancestral system, he can still do it. Now that Empress Zhang is old, her relationship with the emperor is getting weaker and weaker, but the prince is going to Nanjing, so far away, there is nothing out of her reach, which makes Empress Zhang not afraid.

The prince was calm. He gently told Empress Zhang, "The ancestral system is like this, you don't have to think about it." "But can Empress Zhang not think about it. If she had a big heart, she would not have these things, and there would have been no such twists and turns.

"The boss is so submissive, how can he do it." After Empress Zhang pondered deeply, she ordered someone to call the Ten Princes from the East Third Institute. Now that he can't speak, the prince doesn't say a word, so he can only rely on Xiao Shi.

After the ten princes came, Empress Zhang tactfully instructed him to mess around with the emperor and leave the prince behind. "Little Shi, if your eldest brother goes to Nanjing, so far away from us, how can you agree?" Empress Zhang said seductively.

"Mother, I can go to my father to mess around in front of me for small things, but for major national events, I can't do it." The Ten Princes refused.

He was young and naΓ―ve, but he wasn't stupid. He knows very well what he can and can't ask for with the emperor's father. National affairs are not something he can casually interfere in.
