In the Yongsu Palace, the emperor used his spare time to review the inscription and the transcript to meditate on Zhu Qiming's visit to the domain.

According to the agreed date, early tomorrow morning, Zhu Qiming will enter the palace to see His Majesty, and at that time, the emperor will have a showdown with him and order him to go to the domain.

At the critical moment when the civil war was in full swing and the external troubles were still waiting to be resolved by the peace offensive, the king of Yue and the king of Xiang were in a tense situation, which had made the emperor worried, and many internal and external officials took the opportunity to reiterate in his ears the headache of the king of Yue to go to the vassal for a long time, and did not hesitate to put pressure on him with cold confrontation.

As for who is the princess of Yue, the emperor has a plan for both, if the Zhou family still intends to say that he is close, the Son of Heaven will resolutely draw up another book, and set up the sister of Concubine Zhou as the princess of Yue, anyway, it has come to this point, and the showdown should have the appearance of a showdown, no matter how he wants to be the king!

If the Zhou family is dead and has no intention of keeping their youngest daughter away from the capital, then they will obey the will of King Yue, and he will set up whoever he likes, even if he finds a Tartar girl, no one will stop him!

Besides, the second daughter of the Zhou family is indeed not like words, she dared to go to Zhuolu Mountain to harm the Lu family, she failed the hard work of the Son of Heaven, and once again ruined her own reputation, no matter how you look at it, she is not a suitable candidate to be the princess, and it is good that she dies by herself!

Regarding the feudal residence of the king of Yue, Jiuqing originally planned to choose a site in Henan and Shanxi, and later remembered that Shanxi was on the border, and Henan was still plagued by frequent famines. The emperor thought about it and felt that Jiuqing was reasonable, and King Yue could enjoy the mountains and rivers on the seaside, wouldn't he be at ease!

The trouble is that it is not easy to explain this move to the queen mother, so she can only hide it from the queen mother first, and wait for the raw rice to be cooked and cooked, and it is inconvenient for the queen mother to say anything.

Thinking of this, the emperor was relieved: King Yue, don't blame me for ignoring the empress dowager's last words, you said you, Jiuqing doesn't want to see you, and Daming must be careful to make good friends with Wara, why are you so different inside and out? Just wait and see, without you, my ears will be much cleaner!

After a while, the emperor faintly felt that forcing King Yue away at this time was not entirely out of his own heart, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and an inexplicable bitter taste surged in his heart.

At this time, Ma Shun hurriedly entered, first looked at Wang Zhen, who was close to him, and then walked quickly to the throne to salute.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhou's younger brother Zhou Lin was detained by King Yue near Lu Xi's house, and King Yue threatened to escort Zhou Lin to the government for interrogation."

"King Yue has returned to Beijing? He went to visit the Lu family? The emperor hesitated slightly, and then looked at Ma Shun in confusion, "Why did Zhou Lin go to the Lu family's mansion?" ”

Ma Shun opened his mouth, but in the end he chose to be silent.

"Speak quickly!"

"Yes!" Ma Shun was taken aback by the emperor's low roar, "The family of the Zhou Mansion wanted to break into the Lu family's mansion, but was caught by the guards of the Yue Mansion. ”

The emperor got up and walked down the royal platform slowly, staring at Ma Shun, "The family is making trouble, why did King Yue stay in Zhou Lin and escort him to the official mansion?" ”

"This······ I heard ······ Zhou Lin whipped the Yuefu guards and returned the ······ The horse hit and injured an old man. ”

"Nonsense!" The emperor secretly gritted his teeth and restrained himself for a long time before he could contain his anger, "That's it, let King Yue escort Zhou Lin to the official mansion, Zhou Lin acted arbitrarily, and the Shuntian Mansion still has to give him a small punishment and a big commandment." ”

"Never, Your Majesty!" Ma Shun knelt on the ground, and under the emperor's forced gaze, he stubbornly said: "Zhou Lin······ Over the years, many people have been injured, but Weichen dares to vouch for his life, he has never committed a murder! Also, he often fights with a group of sons and daughters of Xun Qi, and has formed a lot of beams, so he is afraid that as soon as Zhou Lin enters Shuntian Mansion, he will break the drum and beat ten thousand people, no! It's the wall that everyone pushes, no, Weichen should be damned! It should be someone who took the opportunity to fan the flames and encourage those wrongdoers to gather in Shuntian Mansion and shake out the past, if so, I am afraid that the reputation of the Zhou family will ······"

"You're all hiding it from me!" The emperor was furious, but in the blink of an eye, all his anger turned into a long sigh.

As a precautionary measure, it is imperative to establish the crown prince as soon as possible, but if Zhou Lin's affairs are allowed to get bigger and bigger, this fire will inevitably burn to Concubine Zhou, causing the discussion between the court and the central government to boil, so that it is not necessarily logical to make the eldest son of the emperor the crown prince. And if you have to abolish the long and young, that is the way to take trouble!

It is not possible to slow down the prince, nor can it be abolished, and the emperor suddenly found that his choice may be limited to a very small space. What especially makes him jealous is that the undercurrent of the former dynasty and the harem is only afraid that they are quietly looking for a breakthrough!

The emperor looked at Wang Zhen blankly.

Wang Zhen also seemed very cautious at this moment, "Your Majesty, the bell must be tied to the bell, for the sake of today's plan, I can only persuade King Yue to let Zhou Lin go by himself." ”

Also, King Yue Zhanli, he can't force King Yue for a relative, if he forces King Yue, the royal family is cold, how can he be the son of heaven!

Do you have to ask the Son of Heaven to say good things to the prince? The emperor couldn't help but grit his teeth: King Yue, you bastard, make trouble for Lao Tzu! Your grandma is a bear······

Bah! Bah! Bah! Imperial grandmother, you are in the spirit of the sky, and your grandson is scolding Ma Shun, this hateful guy.

Alas, I can't even scold, it's really broken bones and tendons!

The emperor was very depressed, but the house leak happened to rain overnight, and a chamberlain panicked and said: "Your Majesty, a large group of imperial historians want to break into the palace to admonish!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"They're yelling, saying······ said that Zhou Lin was rampant and domineering in Beijing, causing public outrage. ”

What the!

The emperor was stunned for a while, dropped the sentence "Don't let them enter the palace", and beckoned Wang Zhen to leave the Yongsu Palace in a hurry, and hid back to the Qianqing Palace.

Fang sat down in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, and before he could catch his breath, he saw the queen coming, and the emperor immediately realized that the sharp words of the former court officials and the Haizhou soft language of the harem doubled the power, and he was in big trouble!

It seems that it is too late to persuade King Yue to release people, and Zhou Lin is destined to stink on the street!

It's been almost two years, for the sake of his eldest son, although the emperor always cares about the relationship with the queen, but the balance of grace is still tilted towards Concubine Zhou.

It's better to add some weight to the queen's side and rebalance. No, it's not enough to just add weights, the lesser of two evils, compared with the abolition of the long and young, it is better to slow down the prince!

The emperor made up his mind and got up and walked to the palace, so that when the queen saluted later, he could reach out and help her in time.

Suddenly, seeing a figure, Concubine Zhou walked in unkempt, and knelt on the ground in front of the queen.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty!"
