After dinner, Zhu Qiming rested for a while and set off to practice martial arts in Nanyuan, but was unexpectedly stuck by Princess Changde.

"Qi Ming, Qi Ming, slow down, wait for me."

Princess Changde walked in every way, but Zhu Qiming, who was always unable to keep up with the meteor, fell far behind him from time to time, and was so anxious that she called again and again.

Thinking that the imperial grandmother would treat herself as an adult, and then let Princess Changde call back and forth, Zhu Qiming immediately turned around unhappily and said: "Princess Changde, I have grown up, and it is inconvenient to call this name casually, right?" ”

"Hey, do you really think of yourself as an adult?" Princess Changde caught up with Zhu Qiming and pushed him, "You shouldn't call your third brother, you don't want to call you Qiming, it's okay to do this, Your Highness, the slave maid will give you a greeting!" ”

Seeing that Princess Changde was about to bow down and salute, Zhu Qiming hurriedly stopped her, "You spare me!" Princess, out of the front door even out of the harem, there are often ministers walking around, you are now in the word pavilion, the deep palace of the moon people, please stay, lest the moon is not successful, but see a group of bad old men, well, unlucky! ”

Princess Changde's face was slightly red, and she pushed Zhu Qiming to the ground, "Believe it or not, I sewed your mouth one day!" I've been in the palace all day long, I'm very bored, I asked you to take me to the front to have a look, you always push back, you can't be a thief over there! ”

Zhu Qiming's head is big, "It's not that I don't want to take you out, it's really that the imperial grandmother forbids you to go out, in case there are any rumors, the imperial grandmother probably can't blame you, and I will have to carry it for you when the time comes!" Why are you following me? Otherwise, I'll stay here and you go out by yourself. ”

"Hey!" Princess Changde was so angry that her teeth itched, and she just wanted to have a seizure, but her posture eased and she smiled, "Isn't it possible to watch you practice martial arts and study, but to urge you to work hard!" I go out on my own? How? I'm sick! ”

Aren't you just trying to find an excuse? Zhu Qiming was helpless, so he stopped to delay time, and suddenly saw a few figures appear in the distance outside the door in the twilight, "Look, someone is coming, how can you let people see your immortal appearance!" ”

Princess Changde suddenly panicked, and while retreating, she pointed at Zhu Qiming and said: "Next time, next time choose a time when there is no one, or simply drive away those idlers who have nothing to do, so that this princess can see it fresh enough!" ”

Looking at the figure of Princess Changde gradually disappearing, Zhu Qiming suddenly felt pity in his heart, thinking that a woman in the deep palace was trapped in the harem all day long, unable to speak considerately with the elders, and unwilling to face the emperor like a wooden man and the king of Mu Ne.

Alas, I should find a way to get her out for a walk!

Zhu Qiming pondered for a moment, got up and went out, the distance between him and those figures gradually got closer, and when he looked closely, the first person was actually the chief eunuch Wang Zhen!

"Your Highness." Wang Zhen arched his hand to give a salute.

"The prince is exempt!" Zhu Qiming stopped. The unhappiness that happened in the Forbidden City a few years ago didn't seem to leave much impression on him, and the bad comments of the Tenth Uncle King on Wang Zhen no longer firmly controlled Zhu Qiming's mind. He instinctively felt that although this somewhat domineering chief eunuch was disrespectful to himself, to the Yue Mansion and the Wei Mansion, he had no malicious intent, at least, he was sure that Wang Zhen was not a thief who plotted against him.

The person Wang Zhen wants to deal with has nothing to do with the royal family!

"The Sprinkle family is here to see His Highness, please move to the Qingyuan Palace, the Sprinkle family has something to say." Wang Zhen said slowly.

Coming to see me? Seeing that Wang Zhen seemed respectful and his tone was sincere, Zhu Qiming felt a little dazed.

Leaving behind the accompanying attendants they brought, Zhu Qiming and Wang Zhen entered the Qingyuan Palace, and they did not light the lamp, but stood opposite each other in the dim apse.

"Your Royal Highness, the emperor is ordering someone to plan the canonization ceremony. According to the regulations, the prince who inherits the throne must hold a canonization ceremony in the palace, and His Royal Highness will need to return to Yuefu to receive the canonization. The holy will has been decided, and the British public Zhang Fu is the chief envoy, and the ten officials above the fifth grade in the Dachun Fang, the Hanlin Academy, and the six departments are the deputy envoys, and they are about to go to the Yue Mansion to announce the decree. ”

So fast? I want the prince to inherit the throne and have to serve the mourning period to expire, after the prince asked for the canonization by the emperor's decree, when he returned to Beijing, the mourning period has expired, but after the memorial service for a few days, now the funeral of the father and the mother has passed for several months, which meets the conditions for canonization, but he has never asked for the seal, why is the emperor not invited? Zhu Qiming looked at Wang Zhen in surprise, but he couldn't see his expression clearly in the dark.

"Oh, in fact, three years ago, the emperor was ready to canonize His Royal Highness as the prince, but an accident occurred······ Alas, when His Royal Highness just returned to Beijing, the emperor ordered someone to prepare the gold book and golden treasure, which was delayed for so long just to wait for time. ”

There is a strict set of rules for the succession to the throne of the Ming Dynasty. The eldest son or son of the prince inherits the title of the prince, and the other sons are all canonized as the king of the county at the age of ten, and the difference between the prince and the prince can be seen from the title, the title of the prince has only one word, such as Yue, Xiang, Wei, etc., and the title of the prince has two words, therefore, the prince is also called the king of one word, and the king of the county is called the king of two words.

If the prince's palace is not endless, there will always be one person in the past who is a prince, and the hereditary replacement.

The eldest son or son of the county king inherits the throne of the county, and the other sons are canonized as the general of the town. By analogy, under General Zhenguo, there are also Auxiliary Generals, Fengguo Generals, Zhenguo Lieutenants, Auxiliary Lieutenants, and Fengguo Lieutenants.

The rank of the general of Zhenguo is calculated from the first grade, and the king of the county is equivalent to the first grade, and the eldest son or son of the prince and the prince is naturally the first rank, and the position is very noble.

is about to become a prince, but Zhu Qiming is indifferent in his heart, he feels that the honor that will fall on his head sooner or later is not worth being excited about. Zhu Qiming suddenly remembered Niu San's matter, and thought that he might as well use this matter to test how good Wang Zhen's sincerity is. "Princess, the emperor said that he would promote or reward the life-saving benefactor of this seat, and after a long time, the emperor may forget about it."

"Your Highness is such a wise person, there is no need to say more, Your Highness will understand that many things have to be timed, and how to stay in time does not depend on the emperor, but on His Highness!"

Time again? Or is it up to me? Zhu Qiming was confused.

"After His Royal Highness was taken captive, the Empress Dowager did not hesitate for more than a month, and when she woke up, she knew that it was the Warat people who did it, so she wanted to negotiate solemnly with the Warat people, and vowed to be prepared for the war, but the matter was stirred up by the civil officials. Later, the Empress Dowager was unhesitating, and the Son of Heaven was young, so the government had the final say in the 'Sanyang'. At the beginning of last year, the Warat people were watching and looting, and some of the Xun Qi and the Governor of the Five Military Governor's Mansion strongly advocated teaching Warat a lesson, but unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty's military decision-making power has always been in the hands of civilian officials, and the words of the Xun Qi and the Governor were not weighty enough, and they were suppressed by Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong during the court discussion. ”

Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong? Zhu Qiming's mind suddenly came to mind the two encounters in Pine Fort and Gulinji, and the personal enmity and national hatred came up together, so the old impression of Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong was discounted again.

After a while, he calmed down and calmly pondered what Wang Zhen's intention was in flipping over the old accounts of the minister!

Is Wang Zhen hearted, or is it the Son of Heaven······

At this moment, it was already night, and the hall was dark, but Wang Zhen's voice sounded again: "Last year, rumors spread in Beijing, saying that the prince of Jujing had colluded with the Beijing army. Two months later, the matter gradually became a bit clear, and the Xun Qi and the governors stood up one after another, saying that rumors are rumors, and some people deliberately spread rumors with the intention of plotting against them. But Yang Shiqi and Yang Rongli disagreed with the public, and strongly advised the Son of Heaven to focus on the overall situation, and would rather believe it than believe it, so the two princes were secretly confined in the mansion for more than a year! ”

Zhu Qiming's heart was shocked, and the painful feeling made him almost out of control.

He didn't want to rush over the old accounts of the two governments, but someone still took the initiative to mention this matter to him, and this person was none other than Wang Zhen, the favored minister of the Son of Heaven and the chief eunuch!

If Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong are really like this, then are they worrying about the king, or do they have ulterior motives?

As if reading Zhu Qiming's thoughts, Wang Zhen said quietly: "I'm afraid that someone will use the topic to play!" The Empress Dowager is not hesitating, the Son of Heaven is young, and the only one who can restrain the auxiliary ministers is Prince Jujing. Besides, who is spreading rumors? Why don't others pay attention to the rumors, but the assistant minister makes a big fuss about it? ”

Zhu Qiming was shocked. He couldn't talk to Wang Zhen deeply, and he couldn't rashly ask others, and in a daze, two figures appeared in his mind.

Yun Niang, Ni Niang!
