This crown prince Zhu Cihong is also a prince who sits on the side of the Donglin Party, and it is naturally in the interests of the Donglin Party to go to Jiangnan by him.

Because the capital is in danger, Empress Zhou's thoughts are also clear at a glance, and she will send her son to Jiangnan for refuge first, consolidating her power in Jiangnan.

Whether it was the Donglin Party or Empress Zhou, their purpose of sending Zhu Cihong to Jiangnan was completely contrary to Chongzhen's plan to increase taxes in Jiangnan and alleviate the financial crisis.

If Zhu Cihong really went to Jiangnan, it is almost certain that the history of the Ming Dynasty will not change in any way, and the only difference may be that the puppet emperor of the Hongguang court has changed from Zhu Yousong to Zhu Cihong.

Fang Yuan was about to say goodbye to Wang Chengen, but when he saw that Wang Chengen looked around at no one, he lowered his voice again, and said in a mosquito language, "Fang Yuan, you have to stay at home tomorrow, and a distinguished guest will come to visit." ”

Seeing his mysterious appearance, Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Who is this person?" The prince is so careful. ”

Wang Chengen leaned close to his ear and softly spit out three words, "Tian-Gui-Concubine!" ”

Fang Yuan was taken aback, saying that he hadn't seen Tian Guifei for a long time, and he didn't know if her condition had improved, so he asked, "Is Tian Guifei's illness better?" ”

Wang Chengen shook his head and said, "I'm terminally ill, and the imperial doctor's diagnosis has been in the past few days." ”

Fang Yuan was stunned, Tian Guifei violated the palace rules before she died, and the purpose was obvious, that is, she wanted to order herself to take the two little princes, Zhu Cizhi and Zhu Cihuan, to Jiangnan before she died.

He didn't want to get involved in these princely disputes and harem disputes, because these are Chongzhen's family affairs, why should he be a minister to wade into troubled waters?

However, the Donglin Party and Empress Zhou made it clear that this time they were going to use the crown prince Zhu Cihong to compete with Fang Yuan for the appointment to run Jiangnan. Fangyuan District has a hundred households in Jinyi and Wei, and it is unjustifiable to go to run Jiangnan, if Chongzhen has to be forcibly promoted, he will definitely attract the resistance of the cabinet and ministers.

If it is not Fang Yuan who goes to run Jiangnan, but the two little princes Zhu Cizhi and Zhu Cihuan, Fang Yuan is only in the name of the auxiliary government, the weight should be enough, and the nature has changed from the dispute between Fang Yuan and the crown prince to Chongzhen's family affairs, and it is also good to seal the cabinet and the ministers.

Speaking of this meeting with Tian Guifei, the other party originally said that it was also a timely rain, and he had no reason to refuse at all, so he responded happily, "Since the concubine has an order, please ask the prince to arrange it!" ”

Fang Yuan returned to the courtyard from the palace, and just entered the door, before he reached the door of the room, a gust of fragrant wind came from behind him, and Xiao Yuan had already thrown himself into his arms, crying profusely.

Fang Yuan hugged her fragrant delicate body, giving birth to a burst of love, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the seventh sister-in-law, and several brocade guards of the guards were standing in the courtyard watching the play.

Fang Yuan hugged her petite and slender body horizontally, carried her into the room, closed the wooden door, and sat on her lap, then asked softly, "What are you crying about?" ”

Xiao Yuan put his face against his chest, whimpered and said, "Woo woo, before going out, Childe said that he would come back in only two months, and it's been three months, I'm worried about death." ”

Fang Yuan still misses this little beauty who stayed at home in his heart these days, and gently ** her hot pink face and said, "I'm not coming back, don't cry." ”

Xiao Yuan still whimpered and said, "Can that boy promise me to take me wherever he goes in the future." ”

Fang Yuanzheng had the idea of handing over the bookkeeping of property to her, so he agreed without thinking about it, "Okay, I will take you with me in the future, and I will also hand over the bookkeeping of family property and military expenses to you." ”

As soon as Xiao Yuan heard that Fang Yuan not only agreed, but also entrusted him with the important task of keeping accounts, he burst into tears and laughed in an instant, and his face was filled with a bright smile as if he was hanging teardrops, "What Childe said is true?" Not deceiving? ”

Fang Yuan saw that her face changed faster than the sky, it seemed that the previous crying was to win sympathy and pity, this little girl, the ability to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, counting and settling accounts is not powerful, I don't know, the ability to tie up a man is perfect.

He smiled and said, "When Qin Zhan comes back, I will ask him to hand over the account book with you, okay, go prepare hot water, I'm going to bathe." ”

Xiao Yuan smiled and went to prepare hot water for him.

At night, after dinner, Fang Yuan talked to his seventh sister-in-law for a while about what he had seen and heard in the past three months, and as soon as he returned to the room, he was dragged to the bedroom by Xiao Yuan under the pretext of asking him to tell the story that had happened in the past three months.

It was July, and the weather was gradually getting hotter, so Xiao Yuan loosened his clothes for him, served him to bed, and put on a thin quilt.

Xiao Yuan took off her narrow-sleeved shirt and corolla skirt again, and only wore a close-fitting cardigan main waist, got into the quilt, and stuck it into Fang Yuan's arms.

Fang Yuan's warm fragrant nephrite was in his arms, hugging her like a warm and slippery elf, but there was no further obscene action.

The two asked and answered, and chatted until the first watch, Fang Yuan was really sleepy, so he hugged Xiao Yuan in his arms and fell asleep deeply.

When Fang Yuan woke up the next day, it was almost noon, and Xiao Yuan in his arms had already woken up, but he was worried about waking him up, so he let him hold him and didn't get up, blinking a pair of eyes as clear as water, looking at him in a daze.

Fang Yuan yawned, stretched his waist and said, "Look at what? ”

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Childe, I believe it now, Jinyiwei is really not a eunuch, but ......"

Fang Yuan was slightly stunned, not knowing what kind of moth she was going to come out of, "But what?" ”

Xiao Yuan gently bit his shoulder and said, "But this is only half a man, I don't know if it's a real man." ”

This bewitching little goblin!

If Fang Yuan didn't care that she was too young, she would have sex like this, and she would have quite serious sequelae of gynecological diseases when she became pregnant and gave birth, and she couldn't wait to 'teach her a lesson' immediately.

Fang Yuan was about to say more, when Qin Zhan's voice sounded at the door of the room, "Boss, your distinguished guest has arrived!" ”

"Guest?"

Fang Yuan slapped his forehead and then remembered that Wang Chengen said yesterday that Tian Guifei would come to the door today, and he forgot all about Xiaoyuan after such a toss.

He got up in a hurry, was served by Xiaoyuan, freshened up and dressed neatly, opened the door of the room, and saw Tian Guifei and Qiu'er, the maid of Yonghe Palace, sitting in the courtyard.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Tian Guifei was hurried, and the sound of violent coughing was endless, seeing that her face was pale, compared with three months ago, she was even more haggard and thin, and she had indeed reached the point of running out of oil and lamps.

In front of Tian Guifei, there are two young men wearing brocade clothes, with delicate eyebrows, eleven or twelve years old, and there is still some similarity between the eyebrows of the two, needless to say, the two are Chongzhen's fourth prince Zhu Cijiong, and the fifth prince Zhu Cihuan.

Fang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and was two feet away from the four of them, stopped and arched his hand and said, "Fang Yuan pays a visit to the noble concubine, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince." ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Tian Guifei had already coughed and bent down, and it was a long time before a weak voice gradually came, "Fang Yuan, come here!" ”

Fang Yuan walked a little closer, but saw that Tian Guifei was supported by Qiu'er and knelt in front of him.

Tian Guifei actually knelt down for Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down face to face with her, "Guifei Niangniang, what are you doing?!" ”

Tian Guifei bent her body, raised her head slightly, and scolded the two princes, "Come here!" Kneel down for your mentor. ”

"Teacher?"

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and before he came back to his senses, the two little princes, Zhu Cizhi and Zhu Cihuan, also knelt down for Fang Yuan.

"Zhu Cizhi, meet the teacher!"

"Zhu Cihuan, meet the teacher!"

Fang Yuan's thoughts were like a tide, his previous plan was to use the two little princes to go to Jiangnan, take what they needed, and then go their own way, and they didn't owe each other. But Tian Guifei suddenly came to the door and asked the two little princes to perform the apprenticeship ceremony, that is, the future of the two little princes was completely entrusted to him, and the burden on his shoulders seemed to be too heavy.

If this situation was known to Chongzhen, it would be to poke a hole in the sky, and Fang Yuan hurriedly got up and went to help Tian Guifei and the two little princes.

Tian Guifei shook her head, didn't get up, and said to the two princes, "From now on, Fang Yuan is your mentor, and you two must treat him as a teacher." ”

The two little princes glanced at each other, and bowed to Fang Yuan in unison, bowing to the teacher.

Fang Yuan was stunned on the spot, Tian Guifei was going to catch the ducks on the shelves and forcibly entrust the two little princes to herself, that is, to be a teacher and a father again!

He remembered that in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was only one person who was a teacher and a father for the emperor, and that was Zhang Juzheng, one of the best names in the Ming Dynasty. However, as soon as the name of this set of teachers and cheap fathers died, he was raided by Wanli.

Speaking of which, this teacher is really a hot potato, and Fang Yuan was also a little hesitant for a while.

Tian Guifei saw that he was still hesitating, and said, "Fang Yuan, I have been dying for a short time, cough cough, my father has also been demoted to Jiangnan, cough cough, I have always been at odds with Zhou Hou, the two little princes are lonely in the palace, cough cough, if the capital is gone, the army is in chaos, who will take care of them?" I thought about it, and I only thought of you. ”

"Ahem, Fang Yuan, I don't want to have the idea of arrogance, I just want them to live in peace, Fang Yuan, can you promise me?"

This was the last request of a mother who licked the calf deeply before she died, Fang Yuan's nose was slightly sour, his heart softened, and he sighed, "Okay! Concubine Niangniang, I promise you, you get up quickly. ”

Tian Guifei showed a bleak smile, but still shook her head, turned her head and ordered Qiu'er to fetch rice paper.

Qiu'er spread a large piece of rice paper in front of Tian Guifei, who bit her finger violently and wrote on the rice paper with blood.

When Tian Guifei finished writing in blood, Fang Yuan raised his eyes and saw that there were more than a dozen words on the rice paper, "Treat each other as a master and apprentice for life, and never lose each other." ”

Tian Guifei ordered the two little princes to cut their fingers with daggers and sign them under the rice paper.

The two little princes wrote their names one by one below, "Zhu Cijiong" and "Zhu Cihuan".

Fang Yuan could only cut his finger and wrote his name underneath, "Fang Yuan".

Tian Guifei handed the blood book into Fang Yuan's hands, and then Qiu'er helped her up, stared at Fang Yuan with her eyes and said, "Fang Yuan, don't forget the blood book oath between you and me today, I will pray for you every day under the Nine Springs." ”

"I should try my best to cultivate the two little princes to become talents, and live up to the love of the concubine today."

Fang Yuan solemnly promised, and sent Tian Guifei and his party out of the courtyard and into the carriage.

The carriage faded away, kicking up puffs of dust and disappearing.
