The hall is deep and vast, and the sunlight is faintly projected, which is even more dazzling under the white snow, and deep and shallow shadows fall on the brick floor.

There was a huge stove in the house, and the emperor was sitting on the carved chair of the dragon, and the anger on his face had been revealed, like a dark cloud, which was solidified, especially the anger condensed in the center of his eyebrows, which was even more terrifying.

And Zheng Guifei knelt on the ground and cried in a low voice, and the cold ground faintly reflected her face, haggard and weak.

The girl closed the door, quietly approached Concubine Zheng, and only knelt in one place with her, she didn't dare to ask for peace rashly for a while, just waited on the side with a worried face, and the emperor's anger disappeared.

Concubine Zheng raised her head and glanced at her, and went to inquire and speak, her eyes were already red and swollen.

The girl looked at Concubine Zheng's appearance, and couldn't help but feel emotional, and said apologetically: "Mother concubine ......"

Some time passed like this, and the emperor looked forward, his voice was tired after anger, and he said casually: "Why don't you say a word when you come?" ”

Zhu Cheng said respectfully: "Father, it is the son's fault that the minister, please don't punish the concubine!" ”

"Get up!"

Concubine Zheng stood up, she cautiously approached him, personally brewed it with boiling water, put it in front of him, and said gently: "The emperor drink some tea, warm up, don't be angry anymore!" ”

After speaking, he quickly stood aside, not daring to say another word.

He took a sip of tea slowly, his expression softened a little, and he looked at the girl kneeling on the ground before asking, "Do you know why my father called your mother and daughter?" ”

"Yes...... Because ......" The girl lowered her head, raised her head halfway, and said firmly: "Father, it's all the fault of the sons, please punish me, just let go of the child in my belly and Luo Sigong!" ”

The emperor dropped the teacup in his hand, the tea splashed to the ground, he pointed at the girl's nose and scolded: "You still have face, you have lost my royal face!" ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei screamed in fright, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged: "Your Majesty, Cheng'er has already realized her mistake, please spare her!" She's still young. I can cover it by all means! ”

He snorted coldly: "You still have the face to beg for mercy? Do you think I don't know anything about the bastard you and Youzhen? ”

The girl raised her head suddenly, right? It's no wonder that she had to be forced to marry in the southwest, she was speechless in a daze, and she didn't know whether she was happy or sad for a while!

"Come here!" The emperor stretched out his hand and motioned for the girl on the ground to get up, pointed to a yellow silk piece on the desk and said, "Every good thing, you can see for yourself, see that this king of the southwest is going to bully me!" ”

His hatred continued: "What makes me hate even more is that you are reckless, even forming a party in the court for personal gain, secretly communicating with the king of the southwest, and acting recklessly. ”

Rebellion is a big crime, when Zhu Cheng heard this, his face was incredulous, and he only knelt down on the spot, "Father, don't believe the slander of others, women, mothers, and brothers, they definitely don't have such thoughts, and they don't dare to have such thoughts!" ”

"You get up, I didn't say anything about you!" He waved his hand, a little impatient, "I'll let you go and fetch the recital!" ”

The girl reached out to take the concerto, and couldn't help but be shocked when she saw it.

It turned out that this recital, as she expected, was chasing his wife and children.

What he meant was to crown his son and daughter, his son as the prince of the southwest, and his daughter as the princess of the southwest, and his son had the same rights as the prince, and according to his ability to elect the next monarch, the rebellion was very visible, but there was a reason to go to war.

The girl closed the concerto, unconsciously changed color, and said, "This ...... If the king of the southwest is really a wolf's ambition, he has the intention of rebellion, if the father and the emperor really give his son according to the words of the king of the southwest, the emperor is mighty, where to put his face? How will the prince deal with himself? ”

"Traitor!" The emperor slammed his palm on the corner of the case and said, "The shaft is clearly to put me in an embarrassing place, and he doesn't even care about my royal face!" ”

The girl saw that he was so angry, she didn't have anything to say for a while, she only lowered her head and pulled the corner of her clothes, but she also understood that with the music of the king of the southwest, the emperor was not very angry about her and Luo Sigong's affairs.

He raised his head again and glanced at him secretly, only to see that he kept twisting his tightly locked eyebrows with his hands, and his expression looked very uncomfortable.

The girl has been brewing in her heart countless times, how to stabilize her father, he is not a person who gets angry easily, how difficult it must be to be in such a situation!

The royal family has never been able to understand the brotherhood between ordinary people, and there are more suspicions and calculations, but the emperor and Zhu Cheng sometimes have a bit of an ordinary father-daughter relationship.

Seeing him like this, the girl couldn't help but feel a slight pain in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Father is angry, don't be so angry with this southwest king, isn't it in vain to hurt your body, it's not worth it!" ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei, who was kneeling on the side, also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, the emperor must not hurt his body, not for himself, but also for the people of the world!" ”

The emperor squinted at her and snorted coldly, "You would have thought about it, you have thought about it a little too much, and you actually did such a thing behind my back!" ”

Concubine Zheng had to lower her head again, shut her mouth, and didn't speak.

The emperor said: "It's tolerable, it's unbearable!" I would never agree to him! The man said and glanced at the woman on the ground again, "I don't want to see you, from today onwards, I will be grounded for three months, and I will not take a single step without my order, as for the second prince, I have my own decision!" ”

Where did the woman dare to reply, and seeing that the emperor had no intention of embarrassing Zhu Cheng, she only hurriedly retreated.

Zhu Cheng hurriedly said: "Father, the mother and the elder brother are confused for a while, please give them a chance!" ”

He only waved his hand and said, "Come here!" ”

Zhu Cheng approached him, made up his mind, and comforted him with kind words: "Father, don't be angry! ”

"Does your face still hurt?" The emperor stretched out his hand and reached out to the girl, with a little regret in his eyes.

"It doesn't hurt anymore!"

Zhu Cheng thought for a while and said, "The ambition of the Southwest King Wolf is already obvious. He has never been a calm character, this is just the beginning, if his father suppresses him in time, he will definitely be able to defeat his prestige, but this plague has just passed, the army and the people are slack, and there are traitors on the northwest border, if you can solve this matter without going to war, it is the best, why not send someone to make peace first, and explore the mind of the king of the southwest! ”

Seeing that the emperor pondered, the girl said again: "After the plague, I think that most of this army has been lost, but the southwest has not suffered a great harm, and it has been even more powerful recently. ”

The girl said this plainly, but the truth was exactly what she said.

With such a stake, how could the emperor not understand, and this is why he moved the thunder and anger.

The emperor just didn't say a word, but when he saw the green tendons on his forehead and rioted, he laughed angrily and said: "If I allow him, I will definitely help to raise the arrogant flames, and I will have to make inches in the future!" If he doesn't allow it, he will definitely hold a grudge, and all the previous efforts and arrangements will be in vain. ”

He saw it so thoroughly, the girl was silent, and only said for a long time: "If the king of the southwest immediately raises troops, what is the chance of victory for my father?" ”

The emperor's eyes flashed, and he was instantly gloomy: "I have less than 200,000 soldiers in my hands, 150,000 are scattered in various passes, 50,000 are gathered near Gyeonggi, and there are less than 100,000 left after the epidemic!" ”

He paused, "The king of Runan has no less than 400,000 elite soldiers in his hands, which are distributed in various fortresses and passes across the country, and they are not greatly affected by the current service, and now there are 150,000 troops on the northwest and north borders!" ”

Zhu Cheng was shocked and said, "So how long will it take for my father to arrange everything and replace him with his own troops?" ”

He said: "If there are people close to me who know the movements of the army and the names and official positions of each faction of the king of the southwest in the past six months, under the condition of ensuring that Mongolia does not set foot on the border and the rebellion in the northwest is quelled, I will order the guards to break down and seize the 550,000 elite soldiers of the king of Runan, and I will be able to conquer them all in one year!" ”

smiled slightly bitterly: "It's just that he is advancing step by step, but I'm afraid that I can't know everything about him here, and he has already raised his army." ”

Zhu Cheng also has so much helplessness and forbearance, as a royal princess, she is closed in this red wall all day long, there is no freedom at all, and she knows a lot about the government and politics, but she can't interfere much. That little bit of government politics was a conversation between their father and daughter, if it wasn't for the interests of herself and her mother's harem, she didn't dare to risk words to listen to it, so she just listened quietly.

Knowing it so suddenly, she felt a little distressed and clear in her heart. In this court, the emperor also has the emperor's helplessness, and he himself has a lot of helplessness.

His body shook slightly, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Cheng'er, it is not easy to be the monarch of this world, and ordinary people can't do the simplest things!" You have brought me so much joy. ”

Zhu Cheng suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart, raised his head and said firmly: "Father, I don't understand your national affairs, and I can't ask about it, but I also know that the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and my father and emperor can endure the pain for a while, so as to seek the perfection of the imperial court!" ”

His hand gently stroked Zhu Cheng's cheek and sighed: "Child, you are wrong, you are wrong, you are very wrong, but just with you, you can always make me feel comfortable when you speak." ”

The girl shook her head: "Erchen is not comforting the emperor, but seeking truth from facts." ”

His voice was faint but somewhat cruel, and it sounded very frightening in the dark palace, "Yes, I do have to endure it. ”

He sighed indifferently: "But how can I endure it?" ”

His hand gradually slid down, holding the girl's hand tightly, "I approved your marriage with Sigong, granted the status of a colt, and he immediately went to the southwest to make peace!" ”

The girl was quite shocked, and accidentally knocked down the teacup in his hand with a push of his hand. He only heard a "bang" and fell to pieces, but he didn't hear it, just looked at her and said: "Cheng'er, you have the most important thoughts, you should understand my words!" ”

Let Luo Sigong go to seek peace, isn't it to send him to death? Holding back the unwillingness and resentment stirring in her heart, the girl raised her face, stabilized her expression and tone, and said softly and firmly, "Thank you for your success!" ”
