Zheng Xi walked out of the side hall with a lot of worries, walked to the door of the stop car alone, and saw Li Chong's ox cart parked on the side of the main road from a distance. guessed that Li Chong might think that the emperor was looking for him for something important, so he deliberately waited for him here. Therefore, he didn't get into his own ox cart, and walked towards Li Chong's ox cart, Li Chong also got a notice from his own coachman, and learned that Zheng Xi had left the palace, so he jumped out of the car and helped Zheng Xi to get into the car with the coachman.

After entering the carriage and laying a thickened linen curtain to shield him from the cold wind, Li Chong asked: "Your Majesty has nothing to do recently, but today you have summoned your father-in-law, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Zheng Xi also shook his head and said, "It's a good thing for my Zheng family, but I don't understand it here." My in-laws are fair and good, and they can advise me. So he told him what happened when the emperor summoned him in the side hall, and asked: "Does the in-laws think that Your Majesty suddenly said this?" ”

Li Chong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I have been by Your Majesty's side for a long time, in the past, although Your Majesty had little personal love for the second prince, he would not disregard the distinction between monarchs and ministers and personally say these secret words. Your Majesty's move, I also don't understand. Speaking of this, he chuckled and said, "Maybe it's what His Royal Highness wants?" ”

Zheng Xi listened to Li Chong's words and smiled. Knowing that Li Chong was joking, how could he be a son to tell his father such a thing.

Li Chong continued: "Whether Your Majesty has other intentions, I don't know for the time being, but my father-in-law should pay more attention to this matter today." The princes and kings of this dynasty have always been married to each other with the eight nobles, and in recent times, they have occasionally married us. In the past, the queen mother was in Japan, and she married the princess of Nanping for the eldest son of the emperor, and today Her Majesty married the Zheng family. I'm afraid that among the eight nobles, there are other ideas. After all, this matter has not been edicted, and the in-laws can hide it in their hearts, and they must not say it. Make it difficult for His Majesty. If Bagui is a hindrance, I am afraid that this matter may not be successful. ”

Zheng Xi nodded and said, "Your Majesty just summoned you, and Zhang Neixing is on duty outside the palace, don't I know what this means." ”

Seeing that Li Chong couldn't see anything for the time being, Zheng Xi had no choice but to let go of the matter, remembered Feng Dan's incident in the Taihe Hall today, and said: "The king of Nanping is unhappy in the palace today, what does the in-laws think he will do?" ”

"The king of Nanping and His Majesty are very close, and all the kings are inferior. How can the position of the state be determined by His Majesty's personal love? Today's events are not said to be anything, but they are just superficial and chaotic. In the past, when the Queen Mother was in Japan, His Majesty often gave the eldest son, and today when His Majesty suddenly got close to the second son, King Nanping was suspicious in his heart. ”

"It's not all about this, the main reason for this is that it has been nearly two months now, and His Majesty still keeps the emperor's eldest son in the Taihe Palace."

Li Chong listened and nodded: "That's exactly the reason." ”

。。。。。。。。。。

Besides, Feng Dan didn't see Tuoba Shen in the side hall, and after his majesty's resignation, he found a few little eunuchs, and learned that there was no imperial physician here today, and the second highness had been gone for a long time, and then rushed out of the palace and rushed home.

Feng Dan has many brothers and sisters, but none of them can discuss the affairs of the court with him, and the only younger brother is still regarded as a stranger to him after his mother's death, so Feng Dan did not look for other brothers, and went to his father Feng Xi alone.

When I arrived at my father's room, I saw Feng Xi leaning on the brocade quilt behind the bed, with his eyes closed, and two maidservants on the left and right massaging Feng Xi, and there were several braziers and stoves in front of the bed.

Feng Xi is not very old, he is only fifty-two years old this year, and he has been sleeping in his hospital bed at home for more than a month. When he was young, because of the great changes in his family, he was separated from his sister Empress Dowager Feng, Empress Dowager Feng entered the palace, and he wandered to the land of Diqiang to survive. When he was young, he suffered a lot of injuries in the battle between Diqiang, so that he had many hidden diseases on his body, and he was fine on weekdays, but he couldn't see the rainy weather, especially in this cold winter now, it was even more torment for him.

Since the death of his only surviving sister, Feng Xi was very sad, suffered from a minor illness, and the weather turned cold, and finally became seriously ill, so that he lay in bed for nearly two months.

"My lord, my son has just returned from the palace, and I have something to say to my lord."

Feng Xi opened his eyes, sat down with the help of the maidservants, and then waved his hand to drive away the two maidservants.

Feng Dan watched the two maidservants close the door, estimated that they had gone farther, and then walked to Feng Xi and sat down, while pinching Feng Xi, he talked about today's Taihe Palace, and finally said: "My lord, does Your Majesty have the idea of shaking the throne of His Royal Highness?" ”

Feng Xi thought for a while and said: "That's not enough, His Royal Highness is raised by the Queen Mother, and Queen Zhen is also given death because of the court regulations, so it can be said that the title of the prince of His Royal Highness was determined at that time, but it has not been actually canonized over the years." Your aunt has just passed away, and Your Majesty will abolish the elders and children at this time, won't you be criticized by the people? ”

"It's just that the Queen Mother is in Japan, and no one dares to plot for the throne of the East Palace, and now, His Royal Highness has lost the protection of the Queen Mother, and those traitors who are interested in the position of the prince have a chance. If the crown prince's position is not established for a day, and the names of the monarch and ministers are unknown, this kind of accident may happen. Although His Majesty has no intention of abolishing Chang Liyu now, if he does not send His Highness to the East Palace as soon as possible, others will not easily give up their minds. Time has passed, but I am afraid that I must strengthen the heart of others to peep. ”

Feng Dan nodded, he also thought so these days, only by determining the storage location could he feel at ease. Then he asked: "From what you can see, what Your Royal Highness did today was taught by others, or was it selfishness?" ”

Feng Xi shook his head and said, "Although it is not often seen that His Second Highness does not understand his true nature, just talking about his actions today is very inconsistent with his age. However, this son has always been precocious, and ordinary people can't guess it. It will be interesting to see if there is anyone to teach. ”

"Since ancient times, there is no greater merit than making a decision, and those who want to rely on conspiracy to push the new monarch in exchange for future glory and wealth have always been endless. Even if there is really someone behind the Second Highness, it is not surprising. ”

"What about my family? Invite Your Majesty as soon as possible, and establish the title of His Highness as soon as possible, but what? ”

"Now is not the time to talk about this, we have to wait a little longer, at least after the year."

"The top priority is to send His Highness to the Alto Hall. You usually wait for Your Majesty in the palace, find an opportunity to tell your sister, and ask Your Majesty to send His Royal Highness to your sister as soon as possible. His Royal Highness is still young, he doesn't know how to do it, and he is easy to be confused by people when he is left and right from the Queen Mother, and he can't leave people for a long time. Your Majesty wants to guard the system for the Queen Mother, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions in taking care of His Royal Highness, if it can be sent to your sister, Your Majesty will save some worry. ”

"Okay, I'll go to the palace tomorrow and say that Sister Yu knows."

After talking to his father Feng Xi about business, Feng Dan asked his father about the three meals before returning to his residence, ready to take care of tomorrow's business and rhetoric.
