Yongwang Zhu Cihuan and the official Shangshu Hua Yuncheng were fishing in the lake at this time.

Hua Yuncheng lowered the brim of his hat: "Did you really help King Hui go to the celebrant to do something wrong to Xu Zhaohua?" ”

"Didn't Mr. also bribe the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to write a note to impeach Xu Xianqing?"

Yongwang Zhu Cihong smiled and replied with a scarf.

"The old man just wants to try Xu Zhaohua, if she Xu Zhaohua is unwilling to protect her father, she can be impartial, if she dares to play a fool for her father, she will dare to help Zhu Cihong deceive His Majesty in the future.

"And what's the matter with you, don't you deliberately force Xu Zhaohua to become Zhu Cihong's person, aren't you worried about forcing Xu Zhaohua to jump off the wall in a hurry, once Your Majesty knows about it, be careful to set yourself on you!"

Hua Yuncheng said.

"Don't say that she Xu Zhaohua doesn't dare to publicize this matter, as long as she dares to publicize it, I will only say that the imperial brother forced me to do this, does Mr. really want to help him Zhu Cihong become the prince?"

Zhu Cihuan asked again as he spoke.

"Anyway, you're still too risky in this matter, if it's calm after today, it's fine, but if something really happens, you won't be implicated."

Hua Yuncheng picked up the fish cage and left.

……

Xu Zhaohua came to Queen Zhou's here: "Queen Mother, the sons have thought about it, and the sons promise you!" ”

"Very good, very good, don't worry, you are also the child of the queen mother, the queen mother will not harm you, nor will she let you do anything sorry for Your Majesty, it will be your birthday in a few days, the queen mother is ready to give you a good job, and then you will be a birthday star!"

Zhou Hou smiled and took Xu Zhaohua into his arms.

"Thank you Queen Mother", Xu Zhaohua nodded.

……

"What! Xu Zhaohua agreed to help us! ”

Yongwang Zhu Cihuan asked Zhu Cihong in astonishment, and then asked, "Could it be that you and her have really done a good thing, Brother Huang?" ”

Hui Wang Zhu Cihong stood up, waved his hand and said: "No, she is too fierce, she is forced to die, but she promised this king, as long as this king does not fight her idea, she is willing to help us for the sake of her father and my mother, since this is the case, this king does not have to rush to accept her, and when this king becomes the emperor in the future, he will not worry about no chance." ”

"What the eldest brother said is", Yongwang Zhu Cihuan smiled bitterly and said, he didn't expect Xu Zhaohua to suddenly help Zhu Cihong so directly, and said in his heart: "Maybe it was Master Hua who found someone to write the letter that played a role." ”

……

Xu Zhaohua locked himself up all night.

Zhu Youzhen didn't look for her after he came back, as if he, the emperor, didn't know all this.

Zhu Youzhen is still only dealing with the war from the northeast in the Generalissimo's mansion, and at the same time is concerned about Ma Shiying's internal affairs reform process.

And until one day, when Xu Zhaohua brought the important recital to Zhu Youzhen as usual, Zhu Youzhen still asked: "How do you think about your marriage with Xia Wanchun, if you want, I can give you enough glory and wealth, and even knight you and Xia Wanchun together." ”

"Erchen wants to stay with his father for a few more days!"

As soon as Xu Zhaohua replied, Zhu Youzhen didn't say anything more.

Not long after, Xia Wanchun's reply to Xu Zhaohua also arrived: "The affairs in the Northeast are becoming more and more complicated, so I can only reply now, forgive me, Xia has been thinking about it for half a month, and it is difficult to lose the Qing and the country, so he is unwilling to resign." ”

Xu Zhaohua smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more.

……

"The people's resistance to women's feet is still very large, and civilians can also, after all, women and children also have to work in the field, and generally do not bind their feet, but the gentry and eunuch family have always taken the three-inch golden lotus as the symbol of a good woman, and the government forced his wife and daughter to let go, and the head of the family divorced his wife and banned his daughter's marriage contract.

Ma Shiying expressed to Zhu Youzhen the problems encountered in the implementation of the new policy, and Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but say after listening: "Isn't there a powerful family to take the lead?" ”

"No, everyone is competing to boycott," Ma Shiying replied.

"Rong Zhen think about whether there is any other way, you also think again, this kind of atmosphere still needs to be guided, and it is useless to rely on power."

Zhu Youzhen's words, Xu Zhaohua on the side also listened to them.

The second day coincided with Xu Zhaohua's birthday, because Zhou Hou had to handle it for Xu Zhaohua in person, the reason was that Xu Zhaohua had worked hard for so long, and as the queen, she naturally had to express herself as the adoptive mother of others.

For this reason, Zhu Youzhen also allowed Xu Zhaohua to live in Kunning Palace for a few days.

"Today is my sister's birthday, the royal brother has the courage to give this jade peony to his sister, and I hope that my sister will accept it, my sister don't misunderstand, the royal brother has no other meaning."

Hui Wang Zhu Cihong took a look at the opportunity of no one and said to Xu Zhaohua.

Xu Zhaohua had no choice but to accept the gift: "Thank you Brother Huang for this." ”

"You can't stay in the palace for a long time, the royal brother has retired first, and my sister should take care!" Huiwang Zhu Cihong smiled like a spring breeze and turned around and left.

"Brother Huang, go slowly!"

At this time, Xu Zhaohua suddenly stopped Zhu Cihong, the king of Hui.

Huiwang Zhu Cihong was very happy in his heart, because this was the first time Xu Zhaohua took the initiative to stop him.

Huiwang Zhu Cihong turned around: "Sister, what else do you have to say?" ”

"The imperial brother has ever known that the recent imperial court on the encouragement of women's new policy, this matter was blocked by most of the gentry and eunuchs, as soon as the wife was divorced, the father was quite worried about this matter, and said that he needed a person to guide the atmosphere, in the opinion of the lower officials, this matter is best done by the imperial brother, the imperial brother is the eldest son, and is valued by most of the famous Confucian gentry, if you take the initiative to take the throne, the gentry will not dare to disobey, Your Majesty will also have a better view of you, this matter also hopes that the imperial brother will not tell King Yong, so as not to be taken advantage of by other princes."

After Xu Zhaohua finished speaking, it was like Zhu Cihong, the king of Hui, and left.

Huiwang Zhu Cihong was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you sister for your advice." ”

Therefore, Zhu Cihong, the king of Hui, hurriedly went to implement this matter, and asked for a visit one by one, and even personally issued a document hoping that the Confucian gentry would understand the difficulties of the imperial court's urgent shortage of population, and at the same time actively disclosed the tragic situation of women's foot binding, and began to take the initiative to order the women in the palace to let go of their feet.

Sure enough, Ma Shiying's new policy was implemented much more smoothly, after all, after the eldest son of the emperor expressed his position, the people who supported the eldest son of the emperor did not dare to stumble on Ma Shiying again.

"This son can be regarded as doing a serious job, and he has not wasted his name as the eldest son in vain."

Zhu Youzhen also praised Zhu Cihong for the first time in front of Zhou Hou, and Zhou Hou also smiled: "In this case, why didn't Your Majesty restore the crown prince of the emperor, and now he is also a lot more mature and stable. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded: "That's right." ”

Zhu Youzhen's two words "also right" made Zhou Hou and Zhu Cihong very happy.

On the second day, Xiong Wenju, a scholar in charge of the Hanlin Academy, asked for the restoration of the prince, and listed Zhu Cihong's ten virtues and ten merits as the prince.

Zhu Youzhen approved: "Approve Xiong Wenju, the head of the Hanlin Academy, to reinstate the crown prince Zhu Cihong and announce it to the world!" ”

Book friends, don't worry, the best is yet to come
