The people from the Xishan camp and the Yamen joined forces to arrest all the suspicious characters on the periphery of the villa and send them directly to the Supervision Yuan, believing that more clues can be found.

At the same time, Yang Lin mobilized the people of Jinyi Wei to arrange people outside the villa to be on duty in shifts to ensure the safety of the emperor and his relatives.

Jin Yiwei interrogated those who stayed outside the villa, and it was necessary to pry out clues.

These emperors don't ask much, they are still very happy to live in the mountain villa, they can soak in hot springs every day, drink tea, and when they are happy, they go to reclaim the land and plant something, I don't know if they can live, but it is also a leisurely old age.

These days are probably the most leisurely and happiest days in his life, he has rested all his burdens, the prince has done a good job in all aspects, and he can get started with a little guidance.

The emperor saw that the prince was getting better and better, and knew that he had found a suitable emperor to lead the Great Zhou Dynasty.

On this day, the prince came to report the situation again, and brought him a troupe, a famous troupe in the capital.

specially invited to come over to entertain the emperor, of course, in order to prevent accidents, Jinyiwei conducted an investigation first, and there were also people guarding the play.

"This book is quite interesting, where did you find it, and is there a storyteller to listen to?"

"Yes, I brought it on purpose, come every other day, send someone to pick it up, and let him tell you any story you like to hear."

The prince explained with a smile.

"Well, okay, tomorrow's girl is here, if she knows that the storyteller is also here, she will be happy."

The emperor couldn't help but muttered Zilan, with a loving and gentle smile in his eyes.

"The county lord is really a capable person, I admire her very much."

The Emperor glanced sideways at him, "Is it okay for me to plead with you one last time?" ”

The crown prince stood up in fright, "Father, why is this, didn't he torment his son." If there is anything you have to ask, my son will do it for you. ”

The emperor pressed his hand towards him and asked him to sit down, "It's about Zilan, there are some things I want to talk to you about." ”

"Father, don't worry, I won't be unable to tolerate a woman, not to mention that she and the Zhou family have great merit, the Cui family itself is also a civil official, the Yang family has always been loyal, I will definitely respect her, you can rest assured that I can swear by my life and that of my mother."

When the prince heard this, he immediately understood that his father was afraid that he would not be able to allow the county lord to liquidate him after he left, but in fact, his father thought too much, just a woman, and he couldn't afford to get rid of the county lord's notoriety.

Only then did the emperor nod, "Don't change the people of the Supervision Yuan at will for the time being, lest there be problems." The Supervision Yuan was created by the girl, and the structure has just been perfected, and it still needs to go a long way to be more secure.

Second, Zilan is a talented person, who is beneficial to you, and has a tolerant heart and tolerant elegance in the important things of the emperor.

The girl has a saying that is very right, only you royal people are fighting for the throne, and it will not last long if outsiders fight for the people's hearts during the Taiping period. No one risked the extinction of the Nine Clans to rebel without consideration, there is no need to worry too much, and there is no suspicion in employing people. ”

The emperor patiently talked to the crown prince about the problem of the emperor's mental technique.

"Yes."

"Excessive suspicion will chill the hearts of loyal ministers, take the example of the girl, if it weren't for me thinking that I could try what she could do, Zilan would not have been brave and loyal to do better and better step by step, until she grew up today.

The girl said that without my recognition, support and trust, she would not be where she is today.

But I felt that because I didn't suspect her, I was calm and open-minded, and I gave her a small opportunity, and she took it.

Until today, Xianglou has been paying taxes and silver to the household department every year, which is the reward of mutual trust. Especially for military generals, it is necessary to control it well, don't chill the hearts of loyal ministers. ”

"Yes, Erchen remembered."

The crown prince was convinced, and he really admired his father for using Song Zilan, and he also watched their monarchs and ministers tacitly understand step by step, and made a lot of proud achievements.

"In the end, it's a little selfishness of mine, Song Zilan has merit in the Zhou family, and he can't unload the mill and kill the donkey, I'm uneasy.

In the past few years, she has been assassinated several times, and Xianglou was once burned down, as a female baby, she has paid a lot more than men to this day, and she should not be cooked by lackeys, so I hope you don't suspect her. ”

The emperor's posture for Zilan is already very low, and at this time, the crown prince is just about to have an enthronement ceremony, so he can only use Huairou means.

The crown prince was sincerely afraid, "Father, you have tormented your sons, I promise you that I will not do such a thing, it is very beneficial for the Cui family and Song Zilan to stay with me, and I will not do anything to kill chickens and take eggs." ”

"That's good, my last wish for this matter, over the years, I have long treated her as a daughter, but I can't give her more, the higher I hold it, the heavier it falls.

She also understands this, and may not leak out in front of others in the future, Cui Hao, you can be bold and enabled, he is a hard-working and talented person, with Zilan's assistance, he can help you speed up the progress of reform in the future. ”

"Yes, I'm also very optimistic about Cui Hao, this guy has a lot of money in his heart, he is capable, and he has done an excellent job in Jiangnan. Oh, and Song Ziyan, it's all good. ”

The prince smiled happily when he said this.

The emperor also smiled happily, "You can just watch it." The debts of the treasury are to be tightened in the future, and they are not allowed to borrow large sums of money, lest the treasury be emptied.

If you don't return it within three years, you won't be allowed to borrow, and the number of borrowers within three years must not exceed 20, otherwise there will be trouble. ”

"Yes, this Song Zhengtian has given me a complete statement, I think it's very good, and I plan to implement it slowly."

It is rare for the father and son to have such a heart-to-heart exchange, and the emperor's bold letting go these days also made the prince grateful, established his solid position, and taught him a lot of things, so that he could see the broad mind of his father and the emperor.

The weather slowly began to turn cool, the Huangzhuang began to dry the vegetables, and the emperor also followed with great interest.

By the time of October, the emperor began to fall ill frequently, and it was a bit of a lingering sickbed.

He summoned the crown prince, "Take me back to the palace." ”

"Yes."

The emperor beckoned to Zilan, who was standing aside, and she walked up to her and half-knelt on the ground, her eyes were a little red.

"Don't work so hard in the future, this world can't tolerate your talents, help Cui Hao, I'll arrange the rest."

"Yes, I listen to you, and I won't go out of the mountain again."

Zilan nodded tearfully and made a promise.

The emperor returned to the palace, and this time he was almost carried back to the palace.

Zilan knew that the emperor's limit had arrived, and her heart was empty for a while.

"Cousin, be prepared to control every corner of the palace, don't let people take advantage of it, especially staring at the three princes and those remnants, you can't let any of them go, and take them down directly as soon as you make a move."

"Yes."
