The prince slept until dusk before waking up, and then had a full meal, and his impetuousness was a little gone. Hearing that the princess had come in the afternoon, he sent Dao Idiot and Lu Bing back, and took the two of them to Fengxiang Hall to greet the princess.

As soon as Dao idiot and Lu Bing came out of Qingyun Gate, they saw Lu Song coming over in a hurry.

Seeing this, Lu Bing hurriedly said, "Dad, but what news is there?" ”

Lu Song stopped and said, "The guard of honor who went out to inquire about the news reported that the guard of honor is already two hundred miles away, looking at the speed of travel, it will arrive in Anlu tomorrow." ”

After that, Lu Song asked where the prince was, and was busy sending a message to the son.

Seeing Lu Bing's hesitation, Dao Idiot said: "Auntie must also be worried about His Royal Highness, Da Lang is not worried about it here, it is better to go home." If His Highness has any trouble, he will summon someone again. ”

Lu Bing thought about this reason, so he parted ways with the Taoist idiot and went back.

As soon as he entered the Lequn Courtyard, he saw Chen Chizhong and Liu Congyun sitting on the reclining chairs under the porch and talking.

Seeing that the idiot came back, both of them were silent.

Chen Chizhong got up and said, "Erlang, did you have dinner, do you want to sit down?" ”

The idiot said: "Yes, is this a good sleep?" After that, you are not welcome, and went to sit under the porch.

Chen Chizhong rushed back from the dust, looking exhausted. But after all, when you are young, you will take a bath and change clothes, sleep well and eat well, and be full of energy.

In late spring, the sun sets, and the sky is faintly reflected in the red glow.

Although I see the beginning of summer, but the time difference between morning and evening, the breeze is breezy at this time, but it is very pleasant.

The Taoist idiot closed his eyes and lay down under the porch. In the afternoon in the Danfang, not long after the princess left, Lu Bing also slept, only he slept well last night, and he didn't sleep well, so he read a few books in the Danfang, and his eyes were a little sour.

When Chen Chizhong saw the Taoist idiot coming, he originally wanted to ask how the two sentences were going on with the prince, but thinking that the Taoist idiot was always cautious, and he was in the palace, he might not be willing to talk about how the prince was doing, so he asked about the great use of the valley.

The prince didn't tell to hide it, so the idiot told the truth.

Chen Chizhong thought about Gu Da's "prestige", and thought about the thousands of guards and soldiers he saw on the road, and couldn't help but gasp. These two parties are rushing to the palace, it seems that the palace is really encountering a big event this time, but I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

When Liu Congyun heard this, he stood up suddenly.

Chen Chizhong was taken aback and hurriedly said, "San Lang, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Congyun's eyes were shining, but he didn't speak.

Although the school has been stopped these days, the atmosphere in the palace is very depressing, but what Liu Congyun knows is all the people who are also clouds, and he doesn't know the details.

Although he was depressed in his heart, he still couldn't pull his face and went to talk to Dao Idiot and Lu Bing.

It wasn't until now, from Chen Chizhong's mouth, that he heard from Chen Chizhong that thousands of guards and pro-army were coerced by Qincha to rely on the south, and he heard Gu Dayong say that "our family is naturally ordered to go out of Beijing, but the holy decree is not on our family, and our family wants to be close to the son, so we will take the first step", and then stringed the front and back.

What can make Quan Eunuch jealous, except in the palace, what else?

Thousands of guards traveled with their own troops, how could the escort be a messenger? There are only two possibilities, there is the Son of Heaven in it, or a "nobleman" who can represent the Son of Heaven.

Who doesn't know that the Son of Heaven is seriously ill, and even the palace examination for the country's selection of talents has been postponed again and again. There is only one possibility left, the "nobleman" goes south.

Seeing that Gu Dayong did not have a seizure even if he ate the closed-door banquet of the palace, this "nobleman" was still friendly to the palace, so that Gu Dayong was all afraid.

Today, when he is dying, what is the purpose of the "nobleman" who can represent the Son of Heaven go south and go straight to Anlu Mansion?

And a few days ago, the inexplicable will of "pre-attack is king". The above mentioned is a "grace", and it is only because of the inexplicability of this "grace" that it has caused the uneasiness of the people in the palace.

Liu Congyun's thoughts flew around, and when he thought of a possibility, he immediately froze.

Chen Chizhong was looking at him, seeing that his face was red for a while and white for a while, and now his eyes were straight, and he hurriedly said: "San Lang, what's wrong, but what's uncomfortable?" ”

Liu Congyun's face turned red, his body couldn't help but tremble, and said, "Quick, go and see His Highness......"

He spoke, but he did not move.

Dao idiot looked at Liu Congyun, saw him from shock to excitement, and knew that he had guessed the real intention of the guard's army to go south. It seems that they are still bystanders, whether they are wise as Yuan Zonggao or the well-informed Lu Song, they are all frightened by the sentence "Jiang Bin may rebel", but he is in the game, and he cares about it.

Although Liu Congyun is also a person in the palace, he doesn't know much about the secrets, but he doesn't need to peel off the cocoon, think too much, but see it more clearly.

It's just that although he has some city government, he is a young man who has not experienced major events, and when he thinks of the possibility he guessed, he is too excited, and his legs and feet are a little disobedient.

Chen Chizhong saw that he couldn't stand steadily, so he hurriedly helped him. But he also understood that Liu Congyun was in a hurry to see the prince, so he said: "Seeing that it is dark, what can I say tomorrow?" ”

Liu Congyun grabbed Chen Chizhong's arm and said sharply: "It's a big deal, I'll see you now!" ”

Seeing that he was so eager, Chen Chizhong felt strange in his heart, so he didn't stop him, and said, "Then I'll help you over?" ”

Liu Congyun took a long breath, stabilized his mind, and said, "No, I was just shocked, but now it's okay." ”

Liu Congyunyuan wanted to leave Chen Chizhong and Dao Idiot behind and go to find the prince by himself, but after thinking about the importance of the prince to the two of them and his alienation from himself, his eyes narrowed, and he said earnestly: "I have something urgent to find His Royal Highness, can you accompany me?" ”

Chen Chizhong was curious, so he naturally had nothing to say; The idiot was thinking about Lu Song's words "His Royal Highness doesn't like smart people", and wanted to see how the prince treated Liu Congyun, so he also nodded.

The three of them hurriedly left the school and went to the Qiyun Palace.

Huang Jin and Gao Kang were standing outside the hall, whispering, and when they saw the two coming together, they couldn't help but be surprised.

Hearing that he was asking to see the prince, Huang Jin glanced at the idiot, hesitated and said softly: "Your Highness is talking to Lord Lu." ”

The idiot didn't answer, but only looked at Liu Congyun.

Liu Congyun said: "Then wait for Lord Lu to come out and spread the word, it is really important to wait for the report to His Highness." ”

Seeing that his face was full of solemnity, Huang Jin hesitated for a moment, but turned around and entered the hall.

The prince had already listened to Lu Song's return, and knew that the Qin messenger escorted by the guards would arrive in Anlu tomorrow.

A few days ago, he was worried and had trouble sleeping and eating, but after sleeping well and eating well in the afternoon, he looked away. Come early and be down-to-earth, regardless of whether he is a blessing or a curse, and if he can't control it, just let it be.

Therefore, after listening to Lu Song's words, he had a feeling of "dying early and taking care of his life early".

Listening to Huang Jin's gift, the three companions of the school read it, the prince raised his eyebrows, and in the future, Chen Chizhong had something to add, so he nodded and called in.

After Lu Song finished his work, he got up and wanted to leave, but the prince said: "My lord also stays and listens, maybe it is a matter of guarding the army." ”

Although when he came, Liu Congyun was full of confidence, and felt that he had guessed the best of ten.

But when he really came to the son, he hesitated.

If you guess right, it is a good thing to solve the unhappiness of the world, but what if you guess wrong?

The son of the world is angry and ashamed, will he deal with himself? If this thing really happens, if it doesn't happen, it will flow out in a few words, and it will be the palace peeping into the throne.

In the past three years, although the prince is not close to him, he is also polite, if he is disgusted by this, how can it be good.

The prince thought that Chen Chizhong had something to say, and after ordering the three of them to take a seat, he looked at Chen Chizhong, but Chen Chizhong looked at Liu Congyun with blank eyes; Shizi was a little puzzled, so he looked at the Taoist idiot, and saw the Taoist idiot looking at Liu Congyun with confusion.

Shizi's gaze finally fell on Liu Congyun's face.

Liu Congyun only felt that his scalp was numb, and knew that now was not the time to hesitate, so he said: "Your Highness, if you have an urgent matter, please ask Your Highness to retreat ......left and right."

Shizi was stunned when he heard this, and then waved his hand to Lu Fang, Huang Jin, and Gao Kang who were standing beside him, and ordered them to retreat.

The three of them lowered their heads and went down, and the Taoist idiot raised his eyebrows. Liu Congyun's move cannot be said to be wrong, but I am afraid that he will offend people. These internal officials have served by the prince's side since he can remember, and the prince's trust in them is no less than that of the school.

Seeing the three of them going down, Lu Song got up and said, "Your Highness, the Honor Guard Division still has something to do, and the ministers should also go back." ”

Since he got up with the intention of avoiding, how could the two of them sit down and sit avoidantly, and they all got up.

When the prince heard this, he looked at Liu Congyun and frowned: "Lord Lu also needs to avoid it?" ”

Liu Congyun hurriedly said: "Lord Lu is a person trusted and relied on by His Royal Highness, and he can hear it. ”

Shizi's expression softened slightly: "Lord Lu will sit down again, accompany Gu to listen to ......" Speaking of this, he looked at Chen Chizhong and Dao Idiot and said: "Liu Congyun brought the two of you over, and he didn't want to avoid you, so he sat honestly." ”

Everyone sat down again and looked at Liu Congyun in unison.

Liu Congyun forgot to glance at the door, got up and said, "Your Highness, let me come close to tell you." ”

Seeing that he was so cautious, Shizi also took a little serious, nodded and said, "Come close." ”

Liu Congyun took a few steps forward, stopped two steps away from the prince, and whispered: "Your Highness, it may be a shocking joy for the Qin to go south!" ”

Shizi was surprised and said, "How do you say this? ”

What the high-level officials of the palace have been worried about in the past few days is that they are afraid that there will be a "holy decree" coming down and involving the Xingwang Mansion in the flames of war. Regardless of whether Jiang Bin is standing behind the "holy decree", or standing with the ministers and civil and military, it will be a catastrophe for the weak Xingwang Mansion.

Now that Liu Congyun said that it was "earth-shattering joy", the prince was naturally surprised.

Liu Congyun suppressed his excitement and said, "Your Highness, the prince is the eldest brother of the first emperor. ”

When the prince heard this, he was still puzzled, so he listened to Liu Congyun and said word by word: "Brother, final, brother, and!" ”

Shizi's eyes widened immediately, and Lu Bing, who was sitting in front of him, also changed his face when he heard this.

The prince woke up and said in a deep voice: "The Emperor's Ancestral Teachings mentioned that 'where there is no prince in the court, there must be a brother and a brother, and he must be born by his mother.'" Born of a mother, although he grows up, he cannot stand. But now that the palaces are moving, and they are going up to send heirs to the future, how can there be no prince? ”

Liu Congyun said: "Your Royal Highness, if the emperor intends to succeed the emperor, it will not be delayed until today." If the emperor has no intention of succeeding the emperor's heir, and the emperor has no brothers, he should look for an heir among the sons of Emperor Xianzong. The prince was the eldest among the emperor's younger brothers, and he was established in order. The prince is not here, who else can he be on the throne except His Royal Highness? ”

There was one sentence that he did not say. That is, there is a "brother to brother" in the law, but there is no "nephew to die uncle". The Ming Dynasty respects Confucian orthodoxy and has always attached importance to fathers, fathers, sons, and humility. The cousin inherited the throne of his cousin, and he must have passed under the name of the previous emperor and had all the status of brothers. In this way, the queen mother is still the queen mother, and the queen has become the "imperial sister-in-law", and the two palaces are filial piety and dedication.

Uncle inherits the throne, what's that called? The queen mother has become the "imperial sister-in-law", and the queen has become the "nephew and daughter-in-law", how can the new queen meet her?

For this article, even if someone in the capital mentions "brother to brother", there is no need to worry that other palaces will pick up this cheap, only the queen mother and the queen will not allow such an embarrassing thing to happen.

"Emperor Ming Zuxun" was revised by Taizu, which was originally to restrain the clan, and the prince of course learned it after enlightenment.

Although he remembered the phrase "brother to brother", he only remembered that he never thought that pie might fall from the sky, and it was such a big pie.

He didn't feel happy at all, and his mood, which had calmed down, became irritable again. Although he didn't like the vassal king's free life, he never thought that he would leave Anlu and not be a vassal king. In addition, his father has only one son, and he really wants to succeed to the name of the emperor, so who will serve his father and the king?

He looked at Lu Song with an inquiring expression on his face.

The look of shock on Lu Song's face was especially there, although he knew that the dragon body would not heal today, but what they were worried about these days was only the game between Jiang Bin and the cabinet ministers and the harem, thinking about whether the capital would be turbulent, and they also mentioned the matter of the heir to the throne, and felt that whether it was the queen mother or the eunuch, they would definitely be willing to support the young emperor.

After listening to what Liu Congyun said today, he thought that there was still this possibility.

Why is it impossible?

It is said that Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, is a virtuous minister, since he is a virtuous minister, how can he allow the power of the court to fall into the hands of relatives and eunuchs. It is also reasonable to put forward the idea of "brother to brother and brother" to avoid being a child of childhood.

Thinking about it again, after Gu Dayong returned in front of the palace, Zhang Zuo and the others were still polite and polite, and there was a reason why they were so abnormal. There is also Chen Chizhong and the royal palace guard who said, thousands of Beijing horsemen went south, traveling more than 200 miles a day, such a big move, Jiang Bin is just a courtier, how can he have this skill?

"Your Highness...... If the heir has been chosen by the knee today, if there is no child, His Highness will indeed be ordained in order. Lu Song said.

Chen Chizhong was already so shocked that he couldn't speak, and the idiot also showed shock on his face.

The prince was not happy or happy, and still frowned: "How can this be? ”

Seeing that the prince was unhappy, Liu Congyun was speechless.

He really didn't expect that the prince would react like this after hearing this "earth-shattering joy".

Although Lu Song was a little excited, he still thought about the prince wholeheartedly, and said: "Your Highness, do you want to inform the princess first, whether tomorrow's will is this or not, it is good to inform you and know it in your heart." ”

Compared with the speculation of the people in the palace about the rebellion in the capital before, it is a good thing if it is really the will of the great throne. Informing the princess earlier can also make the princess feel at ease. Even if this is the will of tomorrow, there will be no panic......
