After the palace change, the prince was very busy, not only to clean up the baskets stabbed by the rebels everywhere, but also to clean up the mess left by Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, plus the court cleaned up a large number of rebellious ministers who served the rebels.

If it weren't for King Anyang and King Rui to help him deal with it, and the fourth prince and Xie Yuan took care of the army for him, and slightly reduced some of the pressure for him, he might not be able to figure it out even if he was busy and dizzy.

Listening to the report from the outside, it was Qi Wenfu who asked to see him, and when he saw Qi Wenfu who was helped in by Zhou Lian, the prince looked surprised, "Lord Qi? ”

Qi Wenfu knelt down and saluted: "Weichen see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"What are you doing, get up."

The prince already knew that Qi Wenfu was seriously injured when he was in Jingnan, and even more so that he lost his sight, so he hurriedly put down his fold and got up, and said to Zhou Lian, "Why don't you hurry up and help Lord Qi get up?" ”

Zhou hurriedly helped Qi Wenfu to get up, and the prince had already walked up to him, personally helped Qi Wenfu and said, "You forgot again, Gu has already told you that you and I don't have to be so polite." ”

"Etiquette should not be abolished." Qi Wenfu said softly.

The prince frowned when he heard this, and after helping Qi Wenfu to the side and sitting down, he said: "Lord Qi, you and Gu Ben have a half-master friendship, and if you didn't fight for Gu Quanquan this time, how could Gu sit in this palace safely." ”

He already knew what happened to Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan in Jingnan, one of them injured his eye, and the other almost broke his leg, but even so they still went to Anchang, persuaded He Quan to go out of the mountain to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, and risked his life to sneak into the capital and suppress the palace mutiny.

If it weren't for Qi Wen Mansion and them, why would the Yuwen family's country fall into the hands of that Yuwen Zheng, and he, His Royal Highness the Prince, would have already entered the Yellow Spring, so how could there be today?

The prince said: "You have great kindness to Gu and the entire royal family, and Gu remembers it in your heart." ”

Qi Wenfu listened to the prince's words and smiled lightly: "Your Highness is a benevolent, filial piety, and righteous person. ”

After Zhou Lian brought the tea, he retreated to the side, and the prince stretched out his hand and put the tea cup in Qi Wenfu's hand, and then said: "After my father went to the Huangzhuang to recuperate, Lord Qi has been refusing to enter the palace again, and even the affairs of the court have been pushed by half. ”

When the crown prince first took power, there were too many things to deal with, and the old ministers in the court changed, and the six ministries were empty before the newcomers rose.

The crown prince once intended to let Qi Wenfu take over the Ministry of Officials, temporarily take over the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, take into account the help of the head of the Hanlin Academy to handle the temporary increase in literature, and select a group of people who can be used for the court, but Qi Wenfu refused on the grounds of inconvenience of his eyes.

Later, the prince inquired about something, and also wanted Qi Wenfu to help him deal with the affairs of the court, but he summoned Qi Wenfu into the palace several times, and he also shirked it by recuperating from his injuries.

The crown prince had heard from Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty and Taifu more than once, they praised Qi Wenfu's sensitivity in court affairs, and they also knew the ability and ability of Qi Wenfu, and he really wanted to reuse Qi Wenfu.

Whether it's for his talent, or what he did at the time of this palace change.

However, Qi Wenfu repeatedly shirked, and even the imperial doctor said that he was half better, but his eyes couldn't see for the time being, but he still refused to enter the court and enter the palace, let alone get involved in any political affairs.

At this point, where would the prince not understand that Qi Wenfu was deliberately avoiding taboos.

That's why he was so surprised when he saw Qi Wenfu coming.

The prince looked up at Qi Wenfu, and saw that his eyes were cloudy and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then he said:

"Lone has asked people to invite you into the palace several times, but you can't shirk it, you ignore all the political affairs of the DPRK and China, and Lone is still unwilling to come out when you are ready to stay in the Qi family for the rest of your life, why are you willing to enter the palace to see Lone today?"

Qi Wenfu listened to the faint complaint in the prince's words, and said: "The prince has the prince of Anyang, the king of Rui, the four princes, and the marquis of Xie, Lord Nan, and Taifu, so many people assist you, and it is not much use for a blind man." ”

"The minister entered the palace today to ask for sin."

"Please?" The prince was slightly stunned.

Qi Wenfu said in a low voice: "I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can order someone to interrogate Shen Fengnian and them?" ”

The prince's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "It's tried, but Shen Fengnian refuses to say anything, and Yuwen Zheng has always only said that he is a descendant of the first emperor and the bloodline of the Yuwen family, and it was the first emperor who couldn't stand the Yuan Empress and ......the Tao family back then."

He had seen the "edict" left by the first emperor, and he also knew that Yuwen Zheng was indeed a member of the Yuwen family, and he didn't think about what to do with Yu Wenzheng for a while, so he only imprisoned him for the time being, and then disposed of it after the enthronement ceremony was over.

As for Shen Fengnian, he has been refusing to speak since he was captured, refusing to mention half of the past, and refusing to say why he wants to help the Tao family and the descendants of the Yuan Dynasty.

Qi Wenfu didn't expect Shen Fengnian to refuse to speak, he was silent for a moment before saying, "Shen Fengnian's affairs, the minister may know something. ”

He slowly whispered about his father, Empress Yuan, the Tao family, and Shen Fengnian.

He didn't hide it at all, nor did he trace or justify it too much, he told in a calm tone that Old Man Qi helped Shen Fengnian hide the birth of the Yuan Dynasty, cover up the whereabouts of Yu Wenzheng's father, help Shen Fengnian gain a foothold in the court, and was deceived by Shen Fengnian over the years, and told him all the things he had dealings with.

The prince looked slightly stunned, and even Zhou Lian next to him widened his eyes.

After Qi Wenfu finished speaking, he got up and retreated half a step, and then knelt down directly and said: "Weichen knows that my father is difficult to shirk this matter, and if he hadn't concealed it back then, the son of the Empress Yuan might not have survived safely, and Shen Fengnian and Yuwen Zheng would not have been able to get to where they are today." ”

"But Weichen's father is by no means a rebellious person, and he never dares to have the slightest transgression, he did something wrong because of a moment of guilt, but he didn't know what Shen Fengnian was planning from beginning to end, and he never knew that he had always left Yuwen Zheng in Beijing."

"It wasn't until Yuwen Zheng killed his ministers in Jingnan, and the rebels outside were in turmoil, that he knew that Shen Fengnian, who he had always thought was a gentleman's friend, had such a mind."

Qi Wenfu Zhengse said,

"Wechen understands that I don't know that I can't shirk the responsibility of my father, but I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to let Wechen accept the punishment instead of my father for the sake of my father's old age."

The prince didn't expect that the Qi family and Shen Fengnian and Empress Yuan would be so deeply involved, and he didn't expect that it was Qi Wenfu's father who helped Shen Fengnian and Empress Yuan's bloodline, so he simply made today's incident.

The expression on his face kept changing, and he said after a long time,

"Your father really doesn't know what Yu Wenzheng and they did?"
