On the first day of the first month of February, hundreds of officials went to the court, King Ning was dismissed from the post of supervising the country, and King Liu Tan did not arrive in order to avoid suspicion and said that he was ill, and the court meeting was co-chaired by Xue Xiang and Yin Xiang, and the big mention was supervised from the side. It was a sunny morning, and there was no sign of the mountain rain coming, but just as the sun rose in the east and the first morning glow sprinkled into the palace, a bloody blood light splashed on the Taihe Palace.

In the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate, the prince was set up on the Chengwang Reef, and he died on the spot.

The death of a speech official, or in the early dynasty to commit suicide, this is a big event, the word "Lichu" was arched to the table by this wave of fierce waves, and it can no longer be suppressed.

Wang Jiao's body was carried down, and the ministers broke out in silence for a long time, and I don't know who took the lead, and the people behind followed suit, and half of the officials in the court took the crown and asked for their lives, asking for the crown prince. Emperor Zhaoqing is not here, who are they doing this to show them, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the big mention point of holding power.

Zhu Muzhao knew that he couldn't be good today, his eyes scanned the people in the hall for a long time, and only stopped for a moment on Xue Lingnan and Yin Tianhou, and comforted the ministers in a deep voice: "Wang Yushi is loyal, but he is too strong, presumably the saint will mourn very much when he learns that he has this festival, if it weren't for the saint's dragon body, he should have been discussing the matter of establishing a prince, I should have been worried about the prince as a courtier, it is better for you to go back and think about it, and then recommend each candidate for the prince, and wait for me to assemble the chapter, go to Huazhen Garden as much as possible, and ask the saint to decide." ”

At this point, Zhu Muzhao finally relented. The ministers echoed one after another, and they talked about the conduct of the princes under the knees of Emperor Zhaoqing, who was more qualified to be the prince of the East Palace, and completely forgot that a person had just died here.

Yu Shu stood in the corner and stared coldly at this qiē. As if watching a joke, Xue Lingnan added fuel to the fire, Yin Xiang stood by and watched, and played with the civil and military officials in the palm of his hand, no one mentioned King Ning who mutilated his siblings, no one mentioned Xue Rui, whose whereabouts were unknown, and no one mentioned the battle of Dongying, which had already been delayed, she looked up at the empty dragon chair on the jade steps, and between her breaths, she smelled the rotten smell of this court

After the next dynasty. Yu Shu returned to the Kunling Bureau. First called several subordinates together and gave them what happened in the court this morning: "At the court meeting, a royal historian was killed for the matter of establishing a prince, although the saint was not present. But this is the first death sentence in the Zhaoqing period. Presumably it will soon spread all over the world. I'll put the ugly words in front of me. No matter how noisy it is outside, none of our people in the Kunling Bureau are allowed to get involved, if anyone wants to be rich. If you are not afraid of death, you will run to form a party for personal gain, and if something happens in the future, your colleagues and families will be affected, and you will die, but no one will be able to save you. ”

She looked at everyone's faces, swept over one or two disapproving faces, and sneered: "That's all I say, you guys do it yourself." ”

Then he left them behind, turned around and entered the East Pavilion, Wen Shaoan followed silently, covered the door curtain, poured tea and water for Yu Shu as usual, and then stood by the window and quietly observed the situation outside for a while, only to see someone pulling and hiding in the opposite study building, so he turned his head and said to Yu Shu: "My lord has a good intention, but I am afraid that some people will not understand." ”

Yu Shu said: "Whatever they do, as long as my conscience can get by." ”

Wealth and danger are sought, and she used to be the same as those people in the court today, she had the heart to help the king win the heir, and she was greedy for the dragon's work, but this greed completely disappeared after she discovered the deformity of the entire court. Da Tidian does not have a single soldier in his hands, but he has mastered the Yixue family in the world, which is equivalent to mastering the hearts of the people, he is the spokesperson of the emperor, no one in the court can shake his position, even the emperor himself has to be bound by him.

So who will be this emperor, and what is the difference? All the same are puppets.

Yu Shu warned his subordinates in public, but he couldn't hide his ears, so he felt that she had smoothed the edges and corners, but she was a manufacturable material, so he sent someone to find her and asked her face to face: "What do you think of what happened at today's court meeting?" ”

Yu Shu didn't know what his intentions were, so he looked down at his feet, "It's only been a few days since you entered the court, how dare you discuss national affairs, you are too exalted to me." ”

Zhu Muzhao saw her pretending to be stupid, hooked the corners of her mouth, and said: "Chengwang Jiao in the imperial history is the one who advocated the impeachment of you a few years ago, do you think he is a person who will be admonished by death?" ”

Yu Shu thought about it and shook his head. She is still relatively accurate in seeing people, Wang Jiao, she is a fool with fame and fortune, this kind of person usually spares his life the most, how can he run to seek death by himself.

"Why don't you use your death-breaking thaumaturgy to see who's behind it?"

She understands now, in addition to her identity as a lifebreaker, she also values her "death breaking thaumaturgy". No wonder he would tell her so many inside stories, because she had another use.

Yu Shu secretly sneered, but he had to cheer up and make a false accusation with him: "The thaumaturgy of breaking the death is extremely draining, I only calculated it the day before yesterday, and I can't use it again in thirty days." ”

Inevitably the thaumaturgy of breaking the death is coveted, she said it to death as early as the banquet of the Furong gentlemen, and the thaumaturgy of breaking the death cannot be abused, otherwise she will attract the curse of heaven and continue to cause disasters.

"Oh?" Zhu Muzhao's eyes flickered, and he smiled slightly: "I thought your rhetoric was used to coax people." ”

Yu Shu stabilized his mind, raised his head to meet his eyes, and was not afraid that he would use the Great Insight Technique to investigate himself, and said concisely: "This is the case. ”

The seven stars in Zhuge Tongzi are divided into two, one is in Jing Chen's hand and the other is in Yunhua's hand, and she must not know that she also has a ring made of seven stars, which can deceive his ears and eyes.

Zhu Muzhao didn't notice her abnormality, so it could be seen that she was not lying, she shook her head in some disappointment, and said, "That's a pity." ”

Yu Shu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want to become a minion of a big mention. "If you don't have any other orders, I'll quit first."

Zhu Muzhao shook his head, but he didn't intend to let her go like this, "Regarding the candidate for the crown prince, you go back and draft a recital, and submit it in two days." ”

Yu Shu's head was big suddenly, where did she write any music, didn't he deliberately make it difficult for her, and he didn't dare to talk to him anymore, so he had to agree first, "I wrote it down." ”

"Go ahead."

Zhu Muzhao waved his hand and let her go. When I turned around and opened the text at the top of the jade case, there was a list in black and white - Liu Si, the fourth prince, Liu Hao, the seventh prince, Liu Lu, the eighth prince, Liu Tan, the ninth prince, Liu Yi, the eleventh prince, and Liu Gan, the twelfth prince.

He dipped his pen in cinnabar, and first crossed out the names of Liu Si, Liu Hao and Liu Yi. Liu Si and Liu Yi were both expelled by Emperor Zhaoqing personally, the two of them were corrupt and unsuitable to be princes, Liu Hao, the king of Ning, was originally Emperor Zhaoqing's favorite prince, but because of the case of the ten princesses, he lost the opportunity and could also be eliminated.

The remaining three, Liu Yu is stupid, and Liu Zhen is weak. Liu Tan seems to be the most suitable candidate. But there is a Xue family behind him, and there are endless troubles. Zhu Muzhao thought about it, and while picking up the pen and crossing out a person's name, he said to himself: "This prince is not easy to be. ”

***

After Yu Shu went back, he pondered how to write the chapter. She couldn't tell if she had a candidate in mind. So I don't dare to write indiscriminately. If you think about it carefully, you really want to recommend a prince, and nothing else. Judging from the conduct and talents of several princes, Liu Tan is undoubtedly the most competent.

But which one is the best, not necessarily the one who has the last laugh. Didn't Yunhua say that when the first emperor was there, although the king of Xiang and Jinshang were compatriots of the same mother, their intelligence and talent were better than their brothers, and in the end, the mediocre Emperor Zhaoqing became the emperor, and the capable King Xiang became the idle king.

Yu Shuli didn't have a clue, so she didn't rush for a while, so she just put it aside and waited for her to be asked.

After one night, the next morning, an invitation was received from the door of the Yu Mansion, from the Xiangwang Mansion. Liu Jiong, the son of the king of Xiang, was happy last month, and on the fifth day of the first month of this month, he was full of moon wine, and he feasted in the Dingbo Pavilion.

Yu Shu remembered that Liu Jiong had not yet married a wife, why did he suddenly have a son, so he asked Zhou Hu to go out and inquire, only to know that the newborn was born by one of Liu Jiong's concubines, but this is the eldest grandson of the King of Xiang, the meaning is extraordinary, usually there is no wife and children in the big family, it is a scandal, it has to be covered up, only the descendants of the royal family are born with gold. For example, before the incident of King Ning, he also got an eldest son, so he held a banquet to announce it to everyone.

It was originally a very normal happy event, but Yu Shu was suspicious, and always felt that the Xiangwang Mansion was feasting guests at this juncture, which was a little unusual. She still can't be sure, who is the mastermind of Jingchen's distress in Beijing and the murder of Taishi Shuyuan, Xue Rui reminded her before and asked her to pay attention after returning to Beijing, who can monopolize the power, who is the rebel thief who blocked Da'an from entering Beijing and tried to kill the lifebreaker, but she looked at it coldly, the person who monopolized the power was actually a big mention, could it be that he was the one who wanted to seek the usurpation of the dynasty? How is this possible, if you want to kill her, you will have to kill her, where is the need to wait until this time.

Yu Shu's heart and eyes are not enough, and there is no one to discuss, so he has to be careful and cautious, cautious and cautious. She didn't plan to go to the full moon wine of the descendants of the Hunan princes, so she put away the invitation and asked Zhou Hu to prepare a congratulatory gift and send it to the palace one day in advance, saying that she was not sick.

On the fifth day of the new year, she didn't even go out. In the middle of the afternoon, Xin Liu came over, and Yu Shu was feeding the birds in the garden, so that people could bring her here.

"I heard that you're sick, isn't it good, why don't you go to have a wedding wine today?" Xin Liu was dressed delicately, with a hairpin and a jade waist, and a fat powder on his face, and he came directly after going to the banquet from the Dingbo Pavilion.

Yu Shu glanced at her twice, shook his head and said, "I don't want to go." ”

Xin Liu'er rolled her eyes and persuaded: "Don't be too sad, someone as smart as the cousin of the Xue family will definitely not have an accident." She misunderstood that Yu Shu didn't go to the banquet because Xue Rui was missing.

Yu Shu sighed wrongly, hung the birdcage back, pulled her to sit on the corridor, and diverted the topic: "I see that your face is ruddy, and you are happy, what good things have happened?" ”

"I didn't have a word, don't talk about me, say that you are yourself, I just heard that you are going to marry Academician Jing, I was startled," Xin Liu blinked his eyelids and wanted to bluff over, Yu Shu twisted a handful of her waist and threatened: "Don't come to this set, let me ask you, don't say yes?" ”

Xin Liu was afraid of itching, giggled, and avoided her hand and begged for mercy: "I said, I said, don't scratch me." So I told her that today in the Dingbo Pavilion, Princess Xiang was the matchmaker, and told her a family affair in front of her grandmother.

"Which son?" Yu Shu asked curiously.

Xin Liu replied shyly: "You should recognize it, it is the young owner of the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce." ”

Yu Shu was very surprised, of course she knew that Pei Jing was the chief manager there, and the surname of the big proprietor was Gu, and he was an operator in the early years of the big boy, and the young proprietor had also heard of the name. What surprised her was that the Gu family couldn't even be called a family, even if the family had a lot of money, it was much worse than the Xin family, how could Xin Yan's old fox marry her baby granddaughter to such a family, there must be another reason for this.

"You said that Princess Xiang gave him a matchmaker, what's going on?"

Xin Liudao: "Oh, I forgot to say that Gu Qi is the righteous son recognized by the prince of Xiang." "That's why I can work and Princess Xiang came forward to say goodbye.

"I see." Yu Shu instantly thought of other places, Xue Rui once said that there is a backer behind the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce, and it seems that this backer is the King of Xiang. In addition to the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce, the Offering House is also under the name of the Xiang Wangfu, although the King of Xiang has no real power, there is such a means to collect money, is he really willing to be an idle king?

She came back to her senses and interrogated Xin Liu, only to know that she and Gu Qi first had a relationship in Jubao Zhai, and then met a few times intermittently, and somehow they looked at each other, Gu Qi was ready to propose, Xin Liu was afraid that her grandfather would not agree to this family business, and she was worried all day long, but Gu Qi was an idea, and while asking Xin Liu to be silent, she ran to ask King Xiang to call the shots, so that she had such a show today.

Princess Xiang said that although Mrs. Xin didn't respond on the spot, she couldn't refuse depending on the situation, the Gu family was nothing, but King Xiang was not easy to mess with. Xin Liu made such a self-assertion, the elders would not be happy, and she would inevitably be scolded when she went home today.

"You said you came to visit the sick, I think you just ran to me to take refuge." Yu Shu glared at her first, and then smiled, "If you don't dare to go back, just stay with me, and I'll send someone to your house later." When Xin's popularity fades, you can go back. ”

"Lianfang," Xin Liu blushed and hugged one of her arms, shaking it, "I knew you were the best." ”

Yu Shu narrowed her eyes, thinking that she would let someone go to Pei Jing later, and carefully ask what kind of character the young owner of the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce was, if it was a good one, if it was a bad one, it would not be too late for her to pack Xin Liu and send it home

This old lady Xin returned to the house, kicked out all the people in the house, and told Princess Xiang about protecting the media, Xin Ya was so angry that her beard was crooked, and Mrs. Xin had to persuade him: "This family business is not very compatible, but Princess Xiang personally spoke, how can I refuse, you think about the benefits, the young master of the Gu family recognized King Xiang as his father-in-law, and it is not bad to have such a backer, Fei Fei married into their family, and she will not be angry in the future." ”

"You know what!" Xin Ya patted the table and said: "Now is the critical time for the establishment of the prince, how can you marry your daughter indiscriminately, King Xiang is clearly on the same boat as the Xue family, you want me to match Fei Feixu to his righteous son, it is not the same as suing outsiders, does our Xin family support King Jing as the crown prince?" In case it doesn't work out in the end, you've thought about what will happen to our family! ”

"Then, then I will go to the Hunan Palace's Mansion tomorrow to ask for the princess, and put down this family business."

Xin Ya frowned and nodded, and was about to tell his wife a few words, when she heard a report from outside, the Xiangwang Mansion sent someone to send a basket of red eggs, naming the six girls. There is a newborn at home, and it is right to return the gift with red eggs, but why name Xin Liu. Xin Ya felt strange, so he asked people to bring the basket of eggs, only to see that there was a big and round red egg on the top of the basket, with the word "happy", so he picked it up and looked at it, only to feel that the amount of money was wrong, hesitated, and then smashed the egg on the table, and the egg skin was broken all of a sudden, revealing a corner of the note.

Xin Ya opened it in disbelief, and immediately changed her face, opened her mouth, and the whole person seemed to be out of her body.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that this was wrong, Mrs. Xin asked worriedly.

"It's late, it's late," Xin Ya sighed and sat down in her chair, holding the note in her palm, and said to her old wife: "Feifei's family affairs, you don't have to be busy refusing first, let me think about it." ”

Tonight in Anling, I don't know how many people have received red eggs from Xiangwangfu. (To be continued......)
