There was silence in the room.

The sound of bangs on the street through the wall is getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere inside the house is getting heavier and more oppressive. Shen Zhizhang didn't speak again, turned his head away, lowered his head and pulled the pattern of the thread off the hem of his clothes, and neatly turned a good clump of bamboo into a bald leaf bamboo.

After a long time, Zheng Wenke said: "When Deng Chang went to the frontier in the past, the words I asked you to convey to him were not false. In terms of public and private, there is no need for the prince to frame the second prince. I know that the queen mother in the palace is not compatible with the former concubine, and I know that the eldest princess and the second princess are not in harmony. But they are women's families after all, fighting for a breath in front of them, and they have no vision. The prince was born in the main palace and has a generous temperament. Among the three princes of the emperor, is there a more suitable candidate than him? Why did he need to do it? ”

"But ......" Shen Zhizhang hesitated, but still said what he thought in his heart: "I didn't know about government politics in the past, so naturally it was difficult to interject. However, is it enough to have the word "generous"? Since the fall of the second prince, the excerpt of the crown prince of the imperial court has also ...... Not less, right? ”

"But the crown prince is not stupid enough to blatantly attack the second prince, right?" Zheng Wenke spread his hands and was also very puzzled: "Last time, it was the second prince of Cha with great fanfare, even if he did it, he wouldn't move so obviously." ”

"That's why I can't figure it out." Shen Zhizhang rubbed his hungry rumbling belly, and said helplessly: "I've been thinking about it for a day, I really can't figure it out." Unless there is another possibility, which is even stranger. ”

"What is possible?"

"This was done by a third person." Shen Zhizhang was suspicious and scrutinized: "Look at it, the prince and the second prince are fighting each other, and when the time comes, both will lose, and naturally there will be one of the fishermen who will benefit." But after all the calculations, the only third prince who may benefit is only fifteen, at such a young age, his biological mother is a small nobleman, does he have the ability to play this big game of chess? ”

"This ......" Zheng Wenke was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and asked, "Zhizhang, do you think it could be done by others?" ”

"What?" Shen Zhizhang was stunned: "What else is there?" ”

"Like the other members of the royal family?" Zheng Wenke wanted to say something more, but he heard his stomach also sing about the empty city plan, and he covered his stomach and sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" Shen Zhizhang got up and asked.

"Hungry." Zheng Wenke raised his head and glanced at him and said, "I went to interrogate the messenger who sent the letter at noon, and I didn't eat." ”

"Then ......" Shen Zhizhang looked at the sky outside the window and said: "Then hurry up and go home for dinner, it's not too early, what are you waiting for, the four horses have gone back to eat early, and it is estimated that the dishes will be washed at this time." ”

"I ......" Zheng Wenke hesitated, and asked with a smile: "Zhizhang, haven't we gone out to eat for a long time?" ”

"Yo! Want to treat me to dinner? Shen Zhizhang teased: "If you don't want to go back, just say it, what are you beating around the bush?" He said and put his head on Zheng Wenke, and asked with a smile: "Quarrel again?" ”

"It's like you're not arguing." Zheng Wenke unceremoniously replied: "I used to talk about running home faster than a rabbit, what's going on these days?" Not going home? ”

"Why are you talking so much! I heard that Jixiangfang has opened a new mutton pot, do you want to go? ”

"Let's go, you're in for a treat!"

"Oops! Brother-in-law, you're so embarrassed! ”

——————————

The hot copper pot was set up, gurgling and steaming. The shopkeeper quickly sent a large plate of thinly cut fresh mutton, and as soon as he put down the plate, Zhu Dongxu rolled up his sleeves and unceremoniously put a chopstick into the pot and boiled it: "Oh, it's really good!" What's that, Xiao Er, the whole oil dish! ”

"Oil dish? Guest, what kind of oil dish are you talking about? The shopkeeper looked confused.

"Forget it. Sesame oil, chopped green onion, coriander, chili sauce, chopped peanuts, soy sauce, take one share! Zhu Dongxule asked, "Little princess Jinshu, do you want it?" ”

Jin Shu couldn't help but smile and give him a roll of his eyes: "Yes!" You're welcome. ”

"Of course, I pay for a treat, what am I polite?" Zhu Dongxu motioned to the shopkeeper to go out: "Go, double copies, take it!" The shopkeeper retreated.

"This lamb pot is the best one I've ever tasted. Don't say it, the ancients really enjoyed eating. It's a bit expensive, but I'm a little accomplished now, so it's no problem for you to have a meal. Zhu Dongxu stretched out his chopsticks and went in to eat the mutton: "Taste it!" ”

Jin Shu said while sandwiching the mutton: "You used to eat so many meals in our family, what's wrong with me eating you?" ”

"Hey! Is it yours who eat? I ate the food of the feudal exploiting class. Zhu Dongxu smiled and said, "Isn't this not eaten in vain?" Your husband's reckless man speaks the same as Erha, sometimes I have to stop him secretly and unconsciously, and your cheap dad has already scolded him to death. ”

"I have to thank you for that."

"Of course." Zhu Dongxu's eyebrows flew and danced: "It's still good in ancient times, a talented person like me is simply a vast world for me to travel, appreciate thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, make meritorious contributions, and scold Fang Xuan in the court!" ”

"In ancient times, it was a man's world, for example, I didn't have as good luck as you." Jin Shu looked helpless: "I can only be a housewife with no status." ”

"Hey, I heard, said Shen Zhizhang kicked you out? It shouldn't be! Zhu Dongxu smiled and sighed: "You should be better than Qin Yuhe?" ”

"It's not as bad as her, and it's not much better than her." Speaking of Qin Yuhe, Jin Shu couldn't help but ask curiously: "By the way, what about Qin Yuhe?" ”

"I heard that he died. In the past two days, it was not a matter of investigating the second prince, saying that he died in the Zhuangzi of King Ning's family outside the city. Zhu Dongxu said while adjusting the oil dish: "When it comes to this, I have to say, your cheap dad looks good, but he is actually a black belly." specially put Qin Yuhe to King Ning's house, can this please you? ”

"You mean that the people of the Ning Wang family gave her little shoes to wear?"

"Of course! I heard that the fool Xiao Shizi called people away several times, who knows what he was called for! He died in a few days, and no one dared to say a word about him. Zhu Dongxu sighed: "The original owner Qin Yuhe is really pitiful, the demon Qin Yuhe is too unkind, the good and bad pots are all carried by the family, and the family is ruined." Don't mention her, what's the matter with you? ”

"Haven't you heard of it all?" Jin Shu pouted.

"Did he really kick you out?" Zhu Dongxu was taken aback: "It shouldn't be!" ”

"Official refutation of rumors! Nothing! Jinshu put down his chopsticks and said righteously: "It's that I don't want to pay attention to him, I moved back by myself, out of sight and out of mind." ”

"What's wrong, he's cheating?"

"Can you read me?" Jin Shu said angrily: "There was a quarrel." ”

"Quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, as for separation!" Zhu Dongxu took a sip of wine: "Besides, what are you looking for me, I can't take care of your family affairs." Shen Zhizhang is still using me as a rival in love! ”

"I'm not here to be a resentful woman." Jinshu smiled and said, "I came to you to learn from the scriptures." ”

"How?"

"I feel like I'm going to have to find something to do and live my life as a whole. Of course, it's not like Qin Yuhe. It's easy for me to eat and wait for death now, but after a long time, I will eventually lose touch with the times. Whether it is a feudal society or a future society, the aura obtained by relying on others will be lost sooner or later. Life is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and then live like this with clothes to reach out and eat to open your mouth, I am afraid that I will be wasted. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Dongxu stopped his chopsticks, restrained his smile and said seriously: "I like your character a lot." I'm afraid you'll cry to my mother-in-law about your marriage. This is all about to be a big war, I can't tell if we have to change the dynasty, the fight between you and Shen Zhizhang is a fart! It's good that you can have this sense of crisis. ”

"Really...... Is it possible to change the dynasty? Jin Shu was dumbfounded: "That's what I said, if there is a change of dynasty, I will be nothing." ”

"The war between Daliang and the Northern Night Kingdom is a matter of next spring and summer, if you win, you will still be a princess, and if you lose, you will be a princess of the dead country." Zhu Dongxu sighed: "I stayed in the north night, and today's Prince Yuwenqiao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and ten Yuwenbai can't match one of him." This war, I guess that's what he meant. The people of our Daliang capital are too peaceful, and they don't have any sense of crisis at all. If you really want to fight, you can't decide whether you win or lose. ”
