The crown prince fell.

Outside the Prince's Palace, a high wall was built.

Outside the wall, there are forbidden troops patrolling day and night.

No one inside or outside is allowed to enter or leave.

The emperor could not kill his son, so depriving him of his freedom was almost the greatest punishment.

The Prince's Mansion, which was lively in the past, was left cold and desolate overnight.

Zhu Yonglin, the sixth prince who was sent back to Beijing earlier, and the queen of Kunning Palace had a similar fate.

Zhu Yonglin lost his freedom again and was locked in the courtyard wall. And the sense of decadence in him was too heavy, the emperor deliberately made him suffer, and also dismissed the women and subordinates around him, confiscated all the right to pleasure, and let him live a hard life. The matter of opening the palace and marrying the princess seems to have nothing to do with him anymore.

And his biological mother Xin Gui Concubine was not in the eyes of the emperor, so this time the emperor just took advantage of the situation, and the rampant Xin Gui Concubine was not only demoted to a concubine, but even her title was withdrawn, and she became Cui Concubine from then on.

Although the queen was not abolished, the phoenix seal was taken away, which was like a waste queen.

After the emperor returned to the palace, he didn't see the queen at all, so she didn't have any chance to prove herself and refute herself, and Kunning Palace was locked from the outside, under house arrest like the crown prince.

And this time, the manpower used by the queen in the palace was also abolished. Several grandmothers around the queen were all given to die.

The power of the harem is still in the hands of the Queen Mother, and Miao Guifei is the assistant.

The King of Thailand was in the limelight for a while.

In the face of a resolute and swift emperor, the princelings were uneasy and self-conscious, and no resistance could be effectively organized.

No one in the court dared to intercede for the crown prince and queen for a while.

And the Yan family was also liquidated.

This time, when Zhu Yonghao was in the palace, all the contact layouts in the capital were initiated by the old man of the Yan family.

He instigated Jingwei and almost caused a reversal, how can he not clean it up at this time!

And the prince can catch the Tartars, and it all depends on the contact of the Yan family. Although there is no evidence of Yan Cen's matter, the emperor already knows it in his heart, and so on, the Yan family is destined to be unable to retreat.

Therefore, after the incident in the palace, the old man of the Yan family immediately hung the beam.

He wanted to use his death to create as much protection as possible for the family. As soon as he died, many investigations could not be pursued. He protected the forces in the shadows to the greatest extent. As soon as he dies, a lot of help will secretly breathe a sigh of relief. When the limelight passes, it will be integrated again, and maybe it will be able to come back from the dead.

He left a suicide note, bearing the guilt.

Committing suicide in fear of sin, and dying without proof - he took everything he had, keeping more people safe and more powerful......

But Old Man Yan still underestimated the emperor's anger.

The emperor did not give face to this century-old family.

took advantage of the prince's "greed, fu" case to find out the head of the Yan family.

The more you are in the family, the more there are a lot of dirt and dirt places.

Who can withstand deep scrutiny, and which one can withstand strict scrutiny?

One by one, the charges surfaced.

The Yan family was raided.

At the same time, the emperor summoned the Hao family of General Mingwei's mansion.

Without him, mainly before the accident in the paddock, he had already issued a holy decree to marry Hao Yan and Yan Feiqing. The emperor bluntly said that if the Hao family was unwilling to be dissatisfied, he could make an exception to withdraw this holy decree.

The Hao family was naturally afraid of being dragged down by the Yan family, but Hao Yan persuaded the family. He wanted Yan Feiqing.

Fortunately, Yan Feiqing's father Yan Guang is not a little more honest than Yan Cen, and the Yan family's broken affairs have little to do with him, plus Yu Bohong, Tao and others interceded, the emperor gave face, the marriage continued, and Yan Guang's room of the Yan family was exempt from punishment.

In this way, the Hao family will not be too ugly, and Yan Feiqing has been protected to the greatest extent.

The emperor also loved Yan Feiqing in the past, and gave Yan Guang a set of three-entry courtyards to let her marry from there. Yan Guang, who was homeless, was grateful and took the initiative to resign from his position, expressing his willingness to cultivate himself for the rest of his life.

In this way, the Hao family breathed a sigh of relief, and the emperor also nodded in satisfaction......

Jingwei was there, and this time he was guilty of the emperor's rebellion.

Several commanders were all dismissed, and the upper echelons of Jingwei were either removed from their posts and held accountable, or transferred.

The emperor ordered Yu Bohong to temporarily take over Jingwei, rectify up and down, and remove the dross.

The Liao family, as Zhu Chengyi expected, did not trace their collusion with the prince.

The Liao family has always done things carefully, no matter how they check, whether it is a livelihood in Beijing or a foreign business, they are all on the right track in a normal and formal manner, and all kinds of documents are complete.

Therefore, the Liao family was not greatly implicated.

There were many undercurrents in Beijing, and for a time, all the people who were friendly with the former prince in many departments were more or less suppressed, and in just a few days, as many as 1,000 people were imprisoned.

The people were panicked, and everyone also saw the emperor's determination.

Everyone tried their best to dissociate themselves from Zhu Yonghao.

On the other hand, the King of Thailand, although he was not crowned prince, no matter how you look at it, he is the best choice for the new prince.

The emperor seems to have learned the lesson of the first prince, and has no intention of establishing another prince for the time being.

The emperor is strong and strong, and he should live for many years, so no one urged him to establish a prince in a short time......

Speaking of which, in addition to the King of Thailand, the Chang family benefited the most.

Because Chang Rufei was harmed by the crown prince, the emperor, as Zhu Yonghao's father, naturally had to help compensate for the aftermath.

This apology was added to the Chang family.

The veteran noble Chang family, which has been elevated for almost two generations, seems to have ushered in spring again.

They've been given positions.

The young man who was chosen by the emperor was the one who needed to be honed the most and had a lot of time to struggle for - Chang Rufeng.

Because Jingwei vacated a lot of positions, many people from the Soldiers and Horses Division with similar functions were temporarily transferred to Jingwei, so the emperor pointed out to Chang Rufeng the position of deputy commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division in the city.

Although there are only seven grades, it is not a false position.

Not only is the official authority full, but the power is not small.

In charge of public security in Beijing, it is a rare position with little official character and no small real power.

In addition, the emperor promised that as long as he did a good job, he would allow him a bright future and repeat the glory of the Chang family.

When the emperor did this, not only the Chang family was excited, but even many old people were also cheered up.

The old clan is in decline, but there is also meat in the ribs, and the emperor has learned a lesson, and he just wants to firmly grasp all the rights in his own hands.

At this moment, when it is the right time to employ people, give a small official first, see the reaction of the old clan, use it if it can be used, and if it can't be used, you are not afraid that it will turn the sky upside down and can be countercontrolled.

Just enough to make these families full of hope and gratitude, why not?

In addition, the Tartars who made the emperor grit his teeth with hatred, how could they be easily better.

With a rare wave of his hand, the emperor sent a secret letter to Yan An and also provided a large sum of silver.

In the past, Yan'an's military salary was given by the imperial court according to the mood, sometimes it was symbolic to give some face, sometimes it turned a blind eye, and most of the time it was to let Yan'an be self-sufficient. Not only because of the imperial court's careful calculations, but also to control Yan'an's financial defense.

But this time, the emperor was ruthless.

He asked King Yan An to go all out. From today on, every time he confronts the Tartars, Yan An can get human, material, financial and even arms support from the imperial court.

In the bitter winter, he vows to make the Tartars pay for what they have done. This autumn, let them taste the real harshness, and fight for not a single grain to let them get it!

The reaction of the imperial court made Yan An overjoyed. This means that there is no need to worry about the emperor's suspicion in a short time, and he can also strengthen his wings, and King Yan'an said that he will do his best to complete the task.

……

After Yu Rongan returned from the paddock, he planned to live a few days of salted fish.

She was so tired.

Not only physically, but also because from the day she returned to this life, Zhu Yonghao, Liao Wenci, Yu Ronghua and other hidden dangers were like swords hanging above her head, so that she never dared to relax completely.

Now that everything is safe and the future is bright, she is completely relieved in one breath, and she feels so tired.

I just want to bask in the sun and stay motionless.

When you are tired of resting, go out to eat, drink, and relax.

Then come back and lie down for a few days.

Beautiful!

Well! She didn't even want to see Zhu Chengyi, everyone knew that he was half dead, but she knew that it had only been a few days, and he was already able to bully her. Such a person does not need to bother at all.

On the third day of the ninth month, the day after returning home, she was sleeping soundly when she was woken up.

Ge sat on the edge of her bed, looking anxious.

"What time is it?" She was dazed.

"It's time."

"It's just ......" Rong An turned over, changed his position and continued to sleep.

There was a muffled thud.

Hiss. It hurts.

Rong An, who was confused, suddenly woke up and found that her whole person was already on her feet.

Falling!

After another look, Xiaohe stood on the side of the bed with an apologetic look and gestured to Ge.

Uh, so, did the mother let Xiaohe throw herself out of bed?

Well?

It's my mother, right? Yes!

Rong An touched the painful back of his head, and he was even more confused.

"Time is pressing, come down!" Ge didn't feel sorry for her at all, but was still urging.

"There's a fire in the house?"

"Phew! Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up! Ge Shi greeted Xiaohe. Drag the young lady up! ”

“……？” Did she sleepwalk in the middle of the night and do something bad? Otherwise, as for the 100,000 fire, she was forced to wake up without distress as soon as dawn was in a hurry?

Rong An was still uneasy, but he fell down after Ge's words.

Well, fall back and keep sleeping!

As for it?

Her mother said: "Time waits for no one, hurry up and prepare the dowry!" ”

This?

That's it?

What's the matter?

Worth waking up early?

Worth interrupting dreams?

Rong An rolled up, and the quilt was rolled up.

"Mother, the wedding date has not been set yet, what are you anxious about! I'll rest for a few days. ”

Ge Shi signaled again, and Xiaohe stepped forward to pull again.

"Xiaohe, it's against you! Be careful that I waste your effort! A while ago, Rong An felt that the water chestnut around her was too calm, and Caiyun had to be returned to Ge Wei, and the youngest Xiaohe was worth cultivating, so she forced Xiaohe to practice martial arts with her.

Although Xiaohe's kung fu is not very good, her sprout-like body has a stupid strength, and simple and rough things are most suitable for her. Mother is really good at employing people!

Xiaohe apologized one after another, but the movements of his hands did not stop.

Ge Shi also stepped forward and pulled Rong An's ear, "Mother can't call you, can she?" ”

"Mother, mother, how can there be a mother who doesn't let her daughter rest!"

"Mother doesn't want to be in a hurry, but even if your wedding date is half a year later, you have time to prepare." What's more, her husband has made her mentally prepared, saying that it is very likely that the marriage period will be within three months.

How can this be called Ge's not in a hurry?

How much preparation do you have to prepare for a marriage?

Her body is getting heavier and heavier, and if she doesn't hurry up now, she is afraid that it will be more difficult the further she goes.

Giving Rong An half a day to rest yesterday was her limit, no, she couldn't hold back it anymore today, so she had to drag people in person.

"You don't have time to be lazy. When you get married, your mother will naturally ignore you. You can go to bed from morning to night. But during this time, you have to be obedient! Otherwise, your mother and your brother will be on fire. ”

Rong An glanced at the mother holding her belly with resentment, and had to get up. Tsk, take the unborn brother and sister to pressure each other, it's really possible!

Rong An walked out of the inner room, and then opened his mouth wide.

"Dare to love you these days, you are alone at home in Beijing, and you are not idle at all."

On her round table, there were hundreds of marked sample cloths, all red. It's just that the color is slightly different, and the bottom flower is not the same. On the machine, it is thick, and there are dozens of patterns and drawings bound into books. There are also three big camphor wood boxes on the ground, and I don't know what they are, piles of them, and it's scary to look at.

"It's all the basic preparation for the marriage. These samples of cloth on the table are used for quilting, so you have to choose the fabric first. Then the mother will take the fabric to cut, and then bring it back to embroider for you. After the quilt is selected, you have to start to match the complete set of bedding mattresses and pillows, and when the quilt is ready, take the quilt you embroidered and sew it on. Time waits for no ......"

"Mother, don't worry...... Speak slowly. When Rong An heard this, he was already tired.

"Why not rush! This is the bedding to be placed in the new house, and it must not be sloppy. As far as your father's official character and your status as a quasi-princess are concerned, it is not too much to prepare fifty to hundred quilts. The mother thinks about it, and you prepare thirty-two. Eight each in spring, summer, autumn and winter, what do you think? Will it be too little? ……”

"......" Article 32? Did you sleep that much? In her previous life, she only brought eight quilts when she entered the prince's mansion. "Wait, you don't want me to embroider thirty-two quilts, do you?" It is estimated that it will take ten or eight years to embroider, kill her.

"You know you're in a hurry?"

"I'm not in a hurry." Because she refused.

"Don't be lazy. Anything else can be lazy, this thing can't be done. Mother doesn't ask for you too much, four beds! Spring, summer, autumn and winter four quilt noodles on the line, other mothers find someone to embroider. Don't worry, you don't want to embroider the hundred sons, but you can't be lazy when the flowers are full moon, rich flowers bloom, and mandarin ducks playing in the water, right? It's all over you, and it's not good to put your hands on others. After embroidering the matching pillow towel embroidered on the quilt, you don't have to worry about the mattress, you just need to embroider. After the four pieces of embroidery, continue to embroider, how much embroidery can be embroidered, the more these things, the better. ”

"......" Rong An opened his mouth, looked at the urgency of his mother's burning eyebrows, and hurriedly helped press his shoulder. Mother, we don't care about this, Zhu Chengyi is casual, and there is no one else in the palace, so don't care too much about these foreign objects. You take it easy, it's important to raise a baby. ”

Ge Shi snapped and knocked off Rong An's hand.

"You have the strength to press on my shoulder, it's better to quickly pick up the embroidery needle, that mother's mood can be stabilized." Ge Shi directly pulled Rong An to the table: "Choose!" Among these quilts, quickly select thirty-two favorite ones. ”

"I think it's all right, feel free."

"Don't be casual. These 100 pieces of cloth are already 100 pieces selected from the 60 pieces sent by each of the five major cloth villages, and you have to take the rest. ”

Rong An. Mother, this is already 300 out of 100? Isn't it a draft, so solemn?

"This is the only time for a woman's marriage. Some regrets missed, even if there is a chance to make up for it, it is not the same taste. Good boy, listen to your mother and prepare well. My mother is ashamed of you for the first ten years, and I hope you can have no regrets for the rest of your life. My mother wants you to marry perfectly, okay? ”
