Qian Sunai looked at the prince Zhu Hai who bowed to the ground in front of him, and sighed in his heart, this prince attaches too much importance to feelings, this is not a good character of an emperor. However, Qian Sunai thought about it the other way, this may not be his own blessing, it is better to be affectionate than to be unkind.

Qian Sun fell in love and helped the prince up, and then said in a low voice: "Your Highness, it's not that there is no way, but as soon as this method comes out to Mrs., the matter will be known to the world, and it will be difficult for Ma Ge Lao to explain it at that time!" Please think twice, Your Highness! ”

Zhu Hai gritted his teeth, thinking that it was better to look at the front first, and then talk about it when the time came from his uncle!

"Mr. Qian, please speak, my uncle will explain it to the palace!"

Qian Sunai nodded and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, this matter is secretly sent by the emperor to Dongchang Fanzi, which means that the emperor doesn't want the whole world to know about it, so let's go the opposite way and make the matter known to the world!" As long as the people of the world know that His Royal Highness has descendants, the emperor will definitely tie his hands and feet, so that there will be room for reversal! ”

Zhu Hai heard Qian Sunai say this, and he knew very well what virtues his father had, and in Xinyang in order to escape for his life, he was able to release Kou into the city, and used the fifty or sixty thousand people of Xinyang as a shield for himself. Now it is difficult to ensure that he will not anger his father, in case his father is angry with his prince, whether he can keep the throne is two words.

"Mr. Qian, does this strategy work? You know that the father of this palace has always refused the etiquette, in case... Zhu Hai was embarrassed to say it as a son, but Qian Sunai knew what Zhu Hai meant. I'm afraid that Emperor Zhu Hong's three bears will lose their temper, and I won't do that if you say that, I won't do that.

"Your Royal Highness, rest assured, His Majesty the Emperor does not refuse the etiquette, but that was in the past, and now that the Emperor has worshiped the filial piety tomb and become orthodox, he must act in accordance with the Emperor's ancestral teachings!"

Qian Sunai deserves to know Zhu Hongsan very well, and the biggest help of Zhu Hongsan now is orthodoxy, occupying Nanjing and worshipping the filial piety mausoleum made Zhu Hongsan's prestige reach its peak, and also gave Zhu Hongsan the upper hand in public opinion. But in this way, Zhu Hongsan also carried a big burden, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang's Emperor Ming Zuxun.

Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that the dynasty he founded would be defeated by future generations, so he set a lot of rules at the beginning of the founding of the country, even when the emperor eats, when to have a room, how to treat the eldest son, how to treat the eldest grandson, there are detailed regulations in the emperor's ancestral training. In the past, Zhu Hongsan was just a local clan, and it was okay if he didn't abide by this kind of thing, but now Zhu Hongsan has inherited Zhu Yuanzhang's political legacy, and he has carried this burden. Qian Sunai saw that Zhu Hongsan could not openly violate the ancestral teachings of the emperor in front of the world, so he gave the crown prince Zhu Hai such a trick.

Zhu Hai thought about it, Qian Sunai's idea should be good, but it is thousands of miles away from Nanjing, and before public opinion spreads, his concubine's grave grass is all high, and time waits for no one!

"Mr. Qian, this is a good idea, but the secret decree of my father is outside the city, wait for the news to reach Nanjing, and then wait until public opinion takes effect, it is too late!"

"Hehe, Your Highness, that's when those relatives of yours come in handy! Didn't they take His Highness's money? It's time to do something! ”

Zhu Hai's eyes lit up, yes! There is nothing else in Wuchang City, there are a lot of poor relatives in my own group, what uncle, uncle, second uncle, and third cousin have made a bunch of them, let them see that the prince has descendants!

Zhu Hai is also a person with superb intelligence, and after being broken by Qian Sunai, he no longer hesitated, and found his own personal soldiers, and asked them to go to the city to find his relatives, and said that the prince has a big matter to announce here!

Qian Sunai said to the dozen or so soldiers on the side: "You go and say, the prince's wife is pregnant, the prince is going to feast on the clan to celebrate, and the first ten people who arrive early will each be rewarded with 100 silver dollars!" ”

Zhu Hai listened to Qian Sun Ai on the side and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Qian, your trick is really powerful, a hundred silver dollars, those relatives in the palace don't come to the door immediately!" "As the crown prince, Zhu Hai has 50,000 silver dollars a year, which looks like a lot, but the prince is different from other princes. The other princes had imperial estates and factories issued by the emperor when they became adults, and they had an annual income of seventy or eighty thousand silver dollars. But Zhu Hai is the crown prince, and the throne must be yours, are you still embarrassed to rob the imperial village and the factory with your younger brothers? So Zhu Hai only has a dry 50,000 silver dollars, plus Zhu Hai has already opened a mansion, although there are no people in the prince's East Palace, but the daily operation and maintenance also need money, so the prince Zhu Hai's life is very tight.

Han Qi was delaying time in the governor's yamen, and the clansmen in Wuchang City here began to gather at the Jiangxia County Palace after knowing the news, one hundred silver dollars, these clansmen were lured by the silver dollars, and many people ran to the prince without wearing their shoes.

Of course, the first to come to such a big event after the crown prince was of course Zhu Hongsan's uncle Zhao Mingming. Zhao Mingliang has trembled in the past two months, the emperor's own uncle dares to move? In order to show filial piety, the prince deliberately let Zhao Mingliang and his wife live in the palace of Jiangxia County, after all, this is his closest relative. So after getting the news of the prince, the father and son arrived as soon as possible, and they got two hundred silver dollars.

After ten minutes, more than ten clan relatives had arrived, and these more than ten people were relatives who didn't have five suits with Zhu Hongsan, and the oldest one was Zhu Hongsan's grandfather, Zhu Shengwei. This old guy is the cousin of Zhu Hongsan's grandfather, he is over seventy years old this year, and he is the oldest one who has not produced five suits now.

Zhu Hai saw that people were almost here, and while he was waiting, Han Qi came to announce that everything was over. Let's just start with these people!

Zhu Hai stood up and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, as well as the uncles of the palace, there is good news to announce that the concubine Xiang of the palace has been happy after inspection, and it has been two months now, if she can give birth to Lin'er, she will be the first grandson of her father and the eldest son of the palace." The joy in the heart of this palace cannot be overstated, let all the clan relatives come to rejoice with this palace! ”

These clansmen don't care how many sons you have, they all come for the reward, but you still have to say some good things!

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! ”

Just when these clan relatives were holding stinky feet, a large number of people came from outside the door, and Han Qi finally led a large group of people to the Jiangxia County Palace.

Han Qi came out to deliver the decree, representing the emperor, naturally accompanied by the Son of Heaven's scepter, the soldiers guarding the door did not dare to slack off when they saw the scepter, and hurriedly opened the middle door, and at the same time someone went in to inform the prince that the holy decree was coming.

When Zhu Hai heard that the holy decree had arrived, he hurriedly took more than a dozen clan relatives in the house out to greet the holy decree, except for Qian Sun Ai is identity, none of them had any merit, and they knelt on the ground at the door, waiting for Han Qi to announce the decree.

The holy decree was very simple, to give Zhu Haitianzi a guard of honor, so that he could rush back to Nanjing before the end of the year and accompany the emperor to celebrate the New Year.

After reading the holy decree, Han Qi hurriedly helped Zhu Hai up, then knelt down and said: "Master, the emperor said that you will set off if you accept the decree, and now there are fifteen days before the Spring Festival, and there should be enough time to go down the river!" ”

Zhu Hai, the great eunuch who followed his father like Han Qi, has always been very respectful, not to mention that Han Qi still had the skill of reminding him just now, Zhu Haihai stepped forward to help Han Qi and said: "Thank you Father-in-law Han, the palace knows what Father-in-law means!" After speaking, Zhu Hai took out a bill of exchange of five thousand silver dollars and stuffed it into Han Qi's hand.

Han Qi was overjoyed in his heart, he made friends with the prince today and still had income, it seems that this trip to Wuchang was not in vain.

At this moment, a feminine voice behind Han Qi said, "Father-in-law Han, doesn't Father-in-law Li still have an explanation?" Shall we talk further to the Prince! ”

It was Li Chengen's henchman Li Mi who spoke, he was Li Chengen's godson, and he was also the person sent by Li Chengen from Dongchang to carry out Zhu Hong's three secret orders.

Han Qi looked down on Li Mi very much, and when he heard him say this, Han Qi said: "Father-in-law Li, our family's affairs are over, and the next is the matter of your East Factory, didn't the factory supervisor arrange for you?" ”

Han Qi's words made Li Mi very embarrassed, how could he say in front of the prince that he came to kill your concubine?

Zhu Hai also asked knowingly on the side: "This father-in-law, is there something wrong?" But what arrangements does Grandpa Li have? ”

Li Mi was in a dilemma, and after thinking about it, he still acted according to the emperor's secret order, after all, the emperor was the boss.

After thinking clearly, Li Mi whispered to the prince: "Your Majesty, the emperor's secret decree, please come with me!" ”

"Father-in-law Li, let's talk about something here, it's not a military matter! These are all relatives of this palace, this is still the uncle of this palace, the uncle of the emperor, what is there to say directly! ”

Li Mi was forced to have no choice, so he had to whisper: "The secret decree of the emperor, the people's daughter Xiang, charm the prince, give death!" ”

Zhu Hai pretended to be taken aback and shouted, "What? Father wants to give death to the Xiang clan? Do you know that the Xiang family is pregnant with the flesh and blood of this palace? Didn't my father know? ”

Xiang Rong'er's pregnancy was only known to Zhu Hongsan and Li Chengen and a few other people, Han Qi didn't know, he knew that Dongchang was going to kill the prince's concubine, but he didn't expect this woman to be pregnant, now it's a big deal!

Li Mi was also taken aback, now he is not a person in the mirror Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror, the emperor's order is not executed, and if the execution kills the emperor's grandchildren, it is still a dead end.

Qian Sun Ai, who was on the side, saw that things had developed to the pair, Zhao Mingliang's son Zhao Dequan said in a low voice: "Grandpa Zhao, have you seen it?" This dead eunuch pretended to pass on the holy decree, and dared to murder the prince's bloodline, you are the prince's uncle, don't you stand up for the prince at this time? ”

Zhao Dequan is the Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi who embarrassed Qian Sun Ai in the Navy Yamen a few days ago, he was originally a gangster in Wuchang City, and he finally climbed to the prince, and now he is very happy to hear Qian Sun Ai say this, this is a good opportunity to make friends with the prince!
