The scorching heat in Jinling City is much more difficult than that in Chengdu City.

In the afternoon, even in the shady hall, there are palace maids serving with fans, but also feel stuffy, and the raindrops fall on the eaves, stone floors, and large and small grass and leaves at dusk, not to mention that the weather is cool, and people's hearts are also comfortable.

After eating, Qingyang called Bin'er, who was longer than her waist and hips, to come forward with great interest and study his homework today.

She is the princess of Shu who married into the Great Chu, and she is considered an alternative existence in the Chu Palace, or others are tired of her self-esteem but her majesty's grace, and no one walks around in the Changxin Palace; Of course, on weekdays, under the leadership of Queen Huang E, in addition to going to Cishou Palace with all the concubines to greet him, Qingyang is not willing to visit the palace where other concubines live.

However, Wang Yong succeeded in usurping the throne, and now that Shu is a vassal to Dachu, Qingyang has no intention of competing for succession, but his life in the palace is much more comfortable than before.

Or Qingyang has no intention of competing for succession, nor does he have the intention of competing for favor, Yang Yuanpu still likes to run to Changxin Palace and stay in Changxin Palace.

"Leaving the grass on the plain, one, one ......"

Qingyang listened to Bin'er's immature voice stuck on the word "one", and couldn't remember the following poems for a while, and was hesitating to let the palace maid take out the ring ruler, and saw several eunuchs and palace maids guarding the gate of the main hall, kneeling in an uproar, looking over, and saw Yang Yuanpu accompanied by Chen Ruyi and others, walking into the main hall, holding Bin'er's hand, and came over to ask for peace: "The concubine (son) has seen Your Majesty (father)." ”

"Get up, what poems did you learn today, why don't you remember?" Yang Yuanpu took his eldest son's hand in a good mood and asked.

"Bin'er's heart is still a little skinny, and she can't sit still in the study," Qingyang asked, "Your Majesty, what do you like to meet, and you are in such a good mood?" ”

"There is no happy event, Han Qian went to the excerpt from Tangyi, and wanted to set up a concubine to grow a son, Han Wenxin, as the prince of the Hou Shizi, the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Ministry of Rites thought that it was inconsistent with the etiquette law, and there were several impeachment excerpts in the first two days, I thought that this matter might drag on, but I didn't expect that today's court meeting, the queen mother and the princes didn't say anything, only said that the Han family led Xuzhou, the heir of the Marquis of Qianyang, and should listen to Han Qian's opinion more, and this matter passed like this." Yang Yuanpu said.

"Your Majesty asked Gonggong Chen privately the day before yesterday to ask the opinions of the Marquis of Liyang and Shen Xiang, and they also fully agreed?" Qingyang asked rather strangely.

Qingyang lives deep in the palace, and it is difficult to get in touch with more information from the outside world, even if Yun Puzi still enters the palace every other day, but it is more to explain the Taoist book and relieve her boredom, so she is puzzled by Han Qian's invitation to Lishu's eldest son at this time, and thinks that Shen Yang, an old stubborn, will not agree to this matter.

"Han Qian's request for the eldest son should be to personally lead his troops north to participate in the war, Liyang Hou and Shen Xiang are a little worried about the power of the Muguls, so it is no harm to ask Tangyi to fight with the Mughurs." Yang Yuanpu didn't hide anything in front of Qingyang, and laughed.

Qingyang's heart jumped, she lived in the palace forbidden, and even did not contact Han Shuhui, the daughter of Han Daoming, on weekdays, and was like a harmless little white rabbit, but she also knew that her brother Wang Yong could successfully usurp the throne and could not do without Han Qian's support; Even in the past year, it has relied on Han Qian's support to a considerable extent, and Shuzhong can be regarded as barely stable.

However, Shuzhong is not worry-free from now on.

At this time, Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian led 70,000 soldiers and horses to hoard in Qinqi and other prefectures, and they could counterattack Shuzhong from Yinping Road at any time.

According to Li Zhihe, Liangzhou is currently blocking Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian's passage from Liangzhou to attack northern Shu, but Li Zhihe's mind may not be simple.

Qingyang couldn't imagine that if Han Qian really lost with the Mugwus, would there be any chaos in Shuzhong?

"Your Majesty is saying that Han Qian is in a hurry to establish a successor, but he is really planning for the aftermath, the current situation in Hehuai is really dangerous to this point, Han Qian thinks that he may die on the battlefield? However, Han Qian really wants to have three longs and two shorts, but His Majesty has saved a lot of worries," Qingyang said with a quiet smile, "By the way, the Marquis of Xinjin will probably be happy to see this." By the way, when Gonggong Chen went to see Liyang Hou and Shen Xiang, did they consider the attitude of Xinjin Hou? ”

Hearing Qingyang mention Li Zhihe, Yang Yuanpu's face couldn't help but sink, thinking that he thought that Tangyi and the Mengwu people were both defeated, but in fact, Tangyi was not a big setback, which was the most beneficial to the imperial court, but after a big setback and even Han Qian's defeat and death, I am afraid that it is difficult for anyone in the court to balance Li Zhihe, and it is not the blessing of Great Chu.

Yang Yuanpu looked at Chen Ruyi and asked, "When you met the Marquis of Liyang and Shen Xiang in private, did they mention the Marquis of Xinjin this time?" ”

Chen Ruyi was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect to be asked this question at this time, but after hesitating for a while, he said:

"Wechen asked the Marquis of Liyang, but the Marquis of Liyang said that the Marquis of Qianyang and the Marquis of Xinjin seem to be not harmonious, but there is no discord in all major matters - Wechen speculated for a while that the Marquis of Liyang did not know what he meant by this, but when he returned to His Majesty, he forgot to mention this stubble."

Qingyang glanced at Chen Ruyi suspiciously, how could he forget to reply to such an important word?

Yang En, Marquis of Liyang, really said this, Yang Enzhen thinks that Han Qian and Li Zhihe have actually been secretly colluding all along, and the so-called "discord" that has always been just a play for others to see?

It's just that the Marquis of Liyang really said this, what did Chen Ruyi do without authorization?

Or is it that Liyang Hou didn't say this, but Chen Ruyi was asked by others, and at this time he was fiddling with right and wrong with ulterior motives?

Qingyang thought about it, and secretly felt that Chen Ruyi should not dare to talk nonsense, thinking that the Marquis of Liyang had not entered the palace much in the past two years, but when Chen Ruyi went to the Marquis of Liyang's mansion to ask for advice, Shen Yang was also present, he really dared to draw nonsense, it was too easy to be exposed.

It's just that why did Chen Ruyi hide this sentence before, what was the secret in it that made him scruples?

But seeing that Yang Yuanpu's face was gloomy, Qingyang secretly felt that Chen Ruyi's words should have hit his heart, and he also changed the topic to say other things at the moment, and he didn't think of what this moment meant.

Yang Yuanpu stayed in Changxin Palace for a while, then took Chen Ruyi and other eunuchs and returned directly to Chongwen Palace.

At this time, the rain was heavy, pouring like a note, the sky and the earth were dark, and only the bright corner lamps hanging on the eaves courtyard wall were still emitting faint light.

The bright candle in the main hall was feverish, Yang Yuanpu walked into the main hall, paced irritably, and after a while, he signaled the left and right eunuchs to retreat to the outer hall, stared at Chen Ruyi with a gloomy expression, and asked: "Have you really forgotten this sentence of the Marquis of Liyang, and what else is there to hide from me?" ”

Chen Ruyi knelt in front of the imperial case with a pale face, and stammered: "Wechen doesn't dare to deceive His Highness, but when it comes to chasing the wind and shadows, Wechen doesn't dare to talk nonsense." ”

"What's the big deal, dare you live up to my trust?" Yang Yuanpu has always hated the untrustworthy people around him, but he didn't want Chen Ruyi to really hide something from him, so he couldn't wait to skin him.

"Wechen didn't dare to say it, it was a capital crime, not to mention that these were just things to catch the wind and shadows, and Wechen didn't dare to investigate it in detail." Chen Ruyi's face was frustrated, and he kept kowtowing and said.

"If you don't say it, I can't kill you now?" Yang Yuanpu took off the saber that was hung on the wall for decoration, and said with hatred and anger.

"This matter is related to the Queen Mother." Chen Ruyi said.

"Say ......," Yang Yuanpu said sharply.

"It's easy to verify this matter, Your Majesty ordered that the second prince be taken out of Cishou Palace and handed over to Concubine Han to raise." Chen Ruyi said.

"What the hell is going on?" Yang Yuanpu asked.

"......" Chen Ruyi seemed to have made a great determination, gritted his teeth and said, "Weichen accidentally heard the palace maid say some time ago that between the eyebrows and eyes of the second prince, Han Jun, the son of Han Daoming, is on the same page, but he doesn't look like ......His Majesty very much."

"Nonsense, Li Yao will never do anything obscene." Yang Yuanpu was so angry that he wanted to use his sword to cut Chen Ruyi, and roared to smash Chen Ruyi's teeth.

"Weichen didn't say that Empress Li had an affair with Han Jun, but he suspected that the second prince in Cishou Palace at this time was no longer the real second prince," Chen Ruyi watched the sword sheath smashed, and didn't dare to dodge, kowtowed and said, "On the eve of the destruction of Hong Zepu by the Wuya Water Master, the slaves and maids in the Changchun Palace seemed to hear the baby's crying, and afterwards it was rumored that there were palace maids and guards in the Changchun Palace who secretly gave birth to a child, and the Queen Mother was killed with a cane; And after that incident, Han Jun died of illness at a young age and retired to Xuanzhou, all of which is a bit of a coincidence - Weichen heard that Han Jun was alive and kicking, but it didn't look like he was sick......"

"......" Yang Yuanpu sat weakly behind the imperial case, unable to believe what Chen Ruyi said.

"Although Wechen has heard of these two things for a long time, but the matter of chasing the wind and shadows involves the Queen Mother and the Han Mansion, giving Wechen ten guts, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense in front of His Majesty, Wechen really didn't intend to deceive His Majesty," Chen Ruyi said, "The day before yesterday, Wechen went to see the Marquis of Liyang, and after hearing what the Marquis of Liyang said, Wechen paid attention, but Wechen didn't have time to secretly investigate this matter; Weichen is also timid, and he doesn't know if he wants to find out about this matter secretly......"

"Are you saying that the second prince has left the palace, and now the one in the Cishou Palace is the son of the flower grafter?" Yang Yuanpu gritted his teeth and asked, "And because of this, Tangyi and Xiangbei seem to be not harmonious, but in fact there is no disharmony?" ”

"Wechen doesn't dare to speculate." Chen Ruyi said.

"You go to Cishou Palace with me!" Yang Yuanpu stood up and said.

"Your Majesty must not, this matter is not true, Weichen can drink the dove to apologize, but if this matter is true, Your Majesty will be angry and go away, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of killing, and I have to think about it in the long run!" Chen Ruyi knelt in front of Yang Yuanpu, hugged his thighs, and persuaded bitterly.
