Chapter 180: Pressing Forward
Although the things entrusted by the queen are risky, if they succeed, they will also bring immeasurable benefits to themselves, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages Tang Ming had no possibility of not accepting it, but he did not act too urgently, but pretended to be a bitter gourd face and reluctantly agreed.
Tang Ming's method is like starting to stand in line now, and there is still room for choice when others stand in line, but he was forced by the queen to the side of the eldest prince. Fortunately, his choice is also the eldest prince, so he doesn't have any burden in his heart.
As soon as the matter of assisting the prince was finalized, the queen seemed much more relaxed, removed the outside guard and asked the palace maid to send snacks and fragrant tea, and began to make a family with Tang Ming, when asked about his marriage with Chen Jialan, Tang Ming did not hide it and spoke outright.
Chen Jialan is Fang Xiaoru's adopted daughter, this relationship is a bit delicate, Tang Ming is also a dead pig, not afraid of boiling water, and it is not a big deal to say it. He settled his home in the ancient dynasty, even if Zhu Di and Xu were dissatisfied, they would not do anything to themselves?
When the queen saw Tang Ming's confession, she behaved very calmly, she actually knew these things, and now she just wanted to beat Tang Ming and warn her secretly, and by the way, she would show her tolerance with her husband.
When it came to distilling liquor in the end, the queen wanted to give some profits to Tang Ming, but she directly refused, and Tang Ming decided to withdraw according to the previous agreement. said that he didn't want to be distracted for this little thing.
A crescent moon hung high in the night sky, and under the silver-white moonlight, a small sedan chair and more than two dozen guards with knives gradually approached the queen's bedchamber. When the eunuch guarding the door saw this team, his face was slightly startled, and he immediately knelt down and sang loudly: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
In order to hide his panic at the beginning, the eunuch then forcibly lowered his voice, but this was enough for the queen and Tang Ming in the house to know. As soon as the two stood up, they saw Zhu Di walking across the door.
The queen greeted her with a smile, Tang Ming knelt on the ground and shouted long live, Zhu Di only glanced at Tang Ming on the ground, and then sat on the top seat with the support of the queen, and then greeted each other with the queen before Tang Ming was flattened.
"I heard Sanbao say that your kid went to the ancient dynasty to be a prince, and he also occupied a Jeju Island, but you kid said that there was such a thing?" Zhu Di suddenly stared at Tang Ming with a tense face, and asked coldly.
Get off the horse, as soon as he comes, he will intimidate himself, Tang Ming is very speechless about this, if the emperor really wants to blame himself, he will not wait until now, and let Zheng He bring him back.
Tang Ming, who had no fear, responded unhurriedly and loudly: "Back to the emperor, Weichen was also out of helplessness at that time, Weihai Island has now sunk into the vast sea, Weichen can't go back to Daming and has nowhere to go, fortunately, the martial king of the ancient dynasty can afford to lend Jeju Island to Weichen for temporary shelter." As for that prince is just a symbol, how can I say that Weichen is also the marquis of the Ming Dynasty, if I am a prince there seriously, I will still suffer. ”
Zhu Di laughed when he heard this, he couldn't pretend anymore, Tang Ming didn't care how he was overseas, as long as he didn't fall into the face of the Ming Dynasty, the rest was easy to say.
But of course, he didn't come to the queen so late just to intimidate Tang Ming, next year Zheng He will start a long voyage, and he himself will personally conquer Tatar. Before that, he had to set up a prince first, and recently for this matter, there was a lot of trouble in the court.
Zhu Di is more optimistic about the second prince Zhu Gaoxi, he, the emperor, like Ming Chengzu, is about to win the world immediately, and he naturally likes the second prince who is active and likes to practice martial arts. Not to mention that the eldest prince is obese, he is not good at moving, and his dislike of writing and martial arts makes Zhu Di even more dissatisfied with him.
When he established the crown prince, he was more inclined to the second prince who liked martial arts, but the eternal truth of the order of the young and the young made Zhu Di fall into a deep entanglement. directly ignored the eldest prince and let the second prince be the crown prince, such a thing that goes against common sense, and many ministers in the court will naturally not support it.
Even his own queen is biased towards the eldest prince in and out of her words, and the queen, who has always supported her unconditionally, has not backed down in this matter. In addition to being troubled, Zhu Di also felt a lot of pressure.
Originally, he just wanted to find the queen to negotiate for the establishment of the crown prince again, but he didn't expect to meet Tang Ming, he thought to himself that this kid is a son of a master, and he usually always gets some strange things out, and Zhu Di, who is in a hurry to go to the doctor, can't help but want to ask Tang Ming if there is a proper way.
However, it was naturally inappropriate to ask in front of the queen, so after chatting with the queen for a while, under the pretext of discussing with Tang Ming about the Tatar conquest next year, Zhu Di took him to his imperial study.
After a little deliberation, Zhu Di asked tentatively: "Next year, I will personally conquer Tatar, and the country cannot be without a king for a day, and someone must come up to act as an agent for state affairs when I leave, so the matter of establishing a prince is also on the agenda." I have also discussed this matter with the ministers of the court and the central government, and there are two candidates who are suitable to be the crown prince, the eldest prince and the second prince, who do you think is more suitable? ”
Tang Ming's brows furrowed deeply, but he didn't expect that he had just gotten out of the queen and immediately entered Zhu Di's tiger's mouth. The husband and wife have different opinions, one wants to follow etiquette and have a second son, and the other wants to have a second son according to his own preference.
Just now, Tang Ming swore in front of the queen that he would assist the eldest prince, so naturally he couldn't speak to the second prince anymore. But Zhu Di's meaning is clearly that he wants to support his decision, one is the emperor and the other is the queen, he can't afford to offend anyone, and it feels really bad to be caught in the middle of a dilemma.
Seeing that Tang Ming didn't reply with a bitter face, Zhu Di's face tightened, and he said again with displeasure: "Your expression tells me that you are very embarrassed at this moment. ”
"Emperor Qi, the family teacher also mentioned this matter to Weichen, and he has no good way to do it. This is a major event of the country, and Weichen has never participated in state affairs, so it is really difficult to make a conclusion about this, and I hope that the emperor will forgive him! Tang Ming had no choice but to bring out Yao Guangxiao in the hope of getting out.
It's a pity that Zhu Di didn't give up, pointed at Tang Ming's nose and scolded: "You kid don't pretend to be garlic in front of me, and you want to escape if you carry out Young Master Yao Guang." I just want to hear your thoughts because you kid is an outsider, and if you are also an old man in the court, I don't bother to ask you. ”
was so direct that he cut off all his retreats, Tang Ming kept cursing the emperor in his heart in addition to being stunned. But things have come to this point, if he doesn't give Zhu Di an answer today, it seems that he can't get out. (To be continued.) )
