In order to facilitate the handling of government affairs, King Chungshun moved to the palace to live temporarily.

But he naturally didn't dare to live directly in Daming Palace, but found an infrequently used palace outside the Linjing Gate and lived temporarily.

This palace does not belong to the harem, but to the former dynasty, so it has nothing to do with etiquette.

However, King Zhongshun did one thing, or more than one, but it just happened that this one thing happened.

After he entered the palace, the eunuchs in the palace sent him a very good palace maid to honor him in order to appease him.

It stands to reason that King Zhongshun is not a lord who lacks women, but the women in this palace are, in some ways, the women of his fourth brother, and the meaning is a little different.

In addition, he entered the palace to supervise the country, so it was naturally difficult to bring in all the concubines, so he pushed the boat down the river and accepted his kindness......

I didn't expect this palace woman to be so fierce, and after leaving a complaint, she actually committed suicide in her room under house arrest!

Originally, if this kind of thing was concealed, it would not be a big deal, but everyone who was noisy knew about it.

And then the meaning of this thing is different.

You must know that although the emperor took away a lot of concubines when he left, they were all high-ranking and low-ranking concubines, and all of them were still in the harem.

On top of that, the Queen Mother is also there!

The king of Zhongshun was bold and dared to kidnap the palace maid from the harem, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not have ill intentions towards the imperial sisters-in-law......

In short, King Zhongshun is completely free this time.

……

In the south study, the king of Zhongshun never returned, and the ministers had no intention of staying and waiting for him.

After denouncing the shameless and immoral behavior of the loyal and obedient king, Du Anzhu proposed: "The loyal and obedient king has no virtue, and it is really difficult to take up the important task of supervising the country, and this cabinet proposes to temporarily remove the loyal and obedient king from the post of supervising the country, and then make a resolution after all the matters here are reported to His Majesty."

The top priority is to invite King Beijing to come out and preside over the court, I wonder if everyone has any objections? ”

Although the king of Beijing had the right to assist in supervising the country, because the king of Zhongshun did not like him, he had already taken away his power, so that the king of Beijing did not even participate in today's deliberations.

"That's how it should ......"

"Exactly, although King Beijing is young, he has both ability and political integrity, and it is most suitable to ask him to come out and preside over the overall situation......"

Du Anzhu smiled and asked Zong Zhe again: "What does Zong Ge Elder think?" ”

The person present was the most senior, as long as he nodded, the matter was decided.

Since ancient times, as long as the courtiers are strong enough, even the emperor can be abolished, but now he is just abolishing a prince who is not worthy of the throne, which is nothing at all.

Zong Zhe looked at him, shook his head and smiled: "The old man doesn't have any opinions, just do what Elder Du Ge said." ”

As a result, King Zhongshun, who had the dream of being an emperor in his heart, was abolished after a few days of imprisonment......

……

After leaving the palace, Du Anzhu ordered the sedan chair man to speed up his pace and catch up with the sedan chair in front of him.

Zong Zhe stopped, lifted the sedan curtain, and said with a smile: "What is the matter with Du Ge Lao looking for the old man?" ”

Du Anzhu smiled and said, "My Guan Zong Pavilion elder has nothing to say in the south study today, but he has a different opinion on my approach? ”

Zong Zhe smiled and said: "How can there be, Du Ge is loyal to state affairs, acts prudently, and is a model for hundreds of officials, and the old man is also admired." ”

After saying that, Zong Zhe said: "It's just that today I didn't invite Your Majesty, so I deposed King Zhongshun, I'm afraid that when Your Majesty returns to Beijing, I won't be able to explain." ”

"Elder Zongge don't have to worry, after I go back, I will write all the things that happened today into a note and send it to His Majesty for reading, if there is any responsibility, I will bear it alone, and I will not affect Elder Zongge again."

Du Anjie spoke earnestly.

Zong Zhe looked at him, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Is what Elder Du Ge did today really all out of public intentions?" ”

Based on Zongzhen's experience, it is naturally not difficult to see some clues of today's events.

Moreover, Du Anzhu competed with the king of Zhongshun in the south study, not giving an inch, and seemed to be a loyal minister who was dedicated to the public and did not hesitate to offend people.

At this time, there is nothing to talk and laugh with him here......

It's also somewhat unusual.

Du Anzhu could also hear the meaning of Zongzhen, but he didn't hide it, and arched his hand: "Seven points are public, I think it's enough." ”

Zong Zhe smiled, and also arched his hand: "Thank you Du Ge for telling me honestly, if there is nothing to do, the old man will go back to the house first."

Recently, the old man may need to stay at home more, and he has to ask Du Ge to bother a lot about the affairs of the court. ”

Du Anzhu bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, Sect Elder...... I hope that my sister-in-law will recover soon, and I will prepare a small gift to congratulate me at that time. ”

Zong Zhe shook his head and lowered the sedan curtain.

In place, Du Anzhu watched Zong Zhe's sedan chair go away, and his eyes gradually became solemn.

No wonder this person can be valued by the Emperor and His Majesty, it is really a bit unfathomable.

Zong Zhe's last words showed that he knew that something big would happen in Jingzhong, but he was not ready to participate......

If such a person can be used by His Royal Highness, why worry about great things?

Pity.

……

Imperial City, in the study of the Qi Palace.

The guard walked up to the second prince and whispered a few words before leaving.

Zhu Lan, who was opposite him, smiled and said, "But Lord Du's side?" ”

The second prince nodded: "From today onwards, Shui Rong and Du Anzhu will preside over the overall situation in Beijing." ”

"Congratulations, Your Highness, you are one step closer to your goal!" Zhu Lan congratulated.

The second prince smiled, and suddenly said, "There is no news from the Iron Net Mountain. ”

When Zhu Lan heard this, she asked with a smile: "Your Highness, is this in a hurry?" ”

The second prince was silent.

If there is no news from the Iron Net Mountain, then everything he does in Beijing will be meaningless.

Zhu Lan said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the reason why there is no news over there is only because Your Majesty has not made up his mind yet, he is just hesitating......"

Zhu Lan is very confident.

Having followed the emperor for more than twenty years, he was well aware of the emperor's personality.

The second prince asked rhetorically: "What if Your Majesty has been hesitating?" ”

Hesitating, hesitating until the end of the trip to Iron Net Mountain, that's over!

At that time, he didn't think he would have a chance to wait until next year......

At this moment, Zhu Lan was silent, and he said: "No, even if Your Majesty can't make up his mind, the poor monk has a way to make up his mind for him, but it's just ......"

He looked up at the second prince with a blazing gaze.

It's just that maybe he won't be able to see him then......

The second prince looked back calmly, he understood what Zhu Lan meant, it was the record they had done earlier.

He didn't mean to persecute him, and in fact, without him, he wouldn't have had the heart to take the throne.

Now whether he wants it or not, he doesn't force it.

Anyway, it is a road full of thorns, and if the other party is unwilling to accompany him, he will not force it.

Zhu Lan understood what the second prince meant, he stood up and walked out directly.

Until he left the door, he didn't hear a word about the second prince.

sighed in his heart, and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw the companion of the second prince running over, handed him something, and said: "Your Highness said that I hope you will come back alive." ”

Zhu Lan opened her hand and saw that it was an ordinary bracelet......

His eyes were hot, and something wanted to burst out, but he held back.

With a salute, he didn't hesitate and turned and stepped into the shadows.

……

On the iron net mountain, the scenery is the same as before.

The whole autumn hunt is roughly divided into two projects, a royal horse and a hunting.

Three days of horses and five days of hunting.

There are eight days in total, and each day, there are unequal sessions, which are presided over by the officials of Honglu Temple.

All those who come, regardless of their status, can choose any number of matches to compete.

On the afternoon of the third day, the final of the Royal Horse Competition will be held, and all those who have entered the top 20 in the previous race will be eligible to participate.

Jia Baoyu is naturally qualified, because he has an agreement with the Emperor, he is not good at slacking off, and he goes all out, but he still only wins a fourth place......

It's no wonder that he, but the horses of the previous ones, are too fierce to make up for with technology.

"Ziheng said in front of the Emperor Taishang that he would take the top three, and now he is not in a good position, and he is lagging behind in this horse race."

After the game, some people gathered around Jia Baoyu, and one of them teased him.

These people, except for Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, and Wei Ruolan, most of the others are also children of the Xungui family, and they also took the opportunity to make friends at this time.

"Hahaha, I said Zhang Laosi, you are just worrying about the sky, with Jing Yuanbo's archery skills, it is not simple to win the first place in the final hunting competition, wouldn't it be good."

After one person said a word, Feng Ziying suddenly asked: "The next thing is the hunting competition, which one is Ziheng going to participate in?" ”

There is one hunting race every morning and afternoon, and as long as you participate in one at random, you can participate in the final 20 to participate in the final round, which is similar to the rules of horse racing.

When he asked this, he naturally wanted to participate in the same competition as Jia Baoyu.

"I'm free, what about you?"

"The morning is the competition between the Emperor, His Majesty and the princes, and it is not easy for us to stir up, so I am going to participate in the one tomorrow afternoon."

Feng Ziying said.

The others immediately knew what they meant......

Tomorrow morning, because the Emperor and His Majesty are going to end, those princes are all accompanying guests, what are these juniors, especially those who are very good at archery, going to do?

Steal thunder?

Not so ignorant.

If it is a fake release of water, it is even more unnecessary. No one is stupid, don't think that if you deliberately release water in the competition, others will be happy......

Jia Baoyu nodded and agreed to participate in the one tomorrow afternoon.

Others agreed, but many more laughed and said that they should avoid this one, otherwise, they would not even have a chance to squeeze into the top 20.
