On the same day, the news that Chu Huaixian and his wife came back with their son, and after Zhang Chengxiang heard it, he said to his uncle: "Go and envelop him." Mrs. Chu is a capable person, and there are many protégés, with such a founding father, he ascended to the top and shouted, and half of the country belongs to me. Uncle Guo agreed: "I have taken the boring building in my hand, and I will return it to him another day, if he knows the favor, he doesn't have to keep him if he doesn't know the favor." ”

King Liang was disheartened after being scolded by the Queen Mother, and the military power in Beijing was in the hands of the Zhang family, and the great uncle felt that he didn't need to be afraid of him anymore. How to settle the Chu family, how many times has Prime Minister Zhang Cheng thought about it a long time ago: "He is the only son of Mrs. Chu, if you kill him, Mrs. Chu will have to fight with us, just like the year before last, it is not good to lose both." Keep him, if Taifu Chu doesn't return to obedience, he can also return to obedience. If he doesn't submit, if he has his life, he can coerce Mrs. Chu. ”

This is how the Zhang family views Chu Huaixian's return to Beijing.

The next day, the sixteenth princess came to the door again, and was extremely aggrieved to Xiao Chu: "Your boring building is unstable, the queen mother scolded me, you also know that she is not my biological mother, since the first emperor went, I have been in the palace day by day." Xiao Chu didn't have the heart to compare with her again, and comforted: "It's me who is not good and pulls you in." ”

The sixteenth princess, who heard the comfort, liked it, and took out 10,000 silver tickets from her sleeve and gave it to Xiao Chu: "Get another one, I'll give half of it." Xiao Chu smiled bitterly, now that the country is about to change, how can he have the heart to start business again.

I can't say this explicitly, I can only say, "I'm not happy in my heart, I don't have this mood right now." The sixteenth princess forced it: "You take it first, when you have a mind, and then you can get it." "I couldn't push it back and forth, so Xiao Chu had to take it. After the sixteenth princess left, Xiao Chu understood: "If I don't start the stove again, the princess will use this money to prepare to enter the boring building." ”

Mrs. Chu had something in her heart, and she was confused for a while, and was taken advantage of by the sixteenth princess who was ignorant and didn't understand her thoughts. Xiao Chu can only accept it first and talk about it later.

King Liang talked to Chu Huaixian and went to the palace to see the Queen Mother. Outside the gate of the Empress Dowager Zhang's palace, the princess pulled the throat of the male duck: "The queen mother said that she was not happy, please see you another day." ”

"I have something to say, I must see the Queen Mother." King Liang was also suspicious at this time, and insisted on seeing him, he said to the prince with a calm face: "Go back to the Queen Mother again, and if you don't see it, I will break into the palace." I was entrusted by the first emperor on his deathbed to preside over the affairs of the six palaces. ”

The prince was taken aback, this imperial uncle came today and was different from usual. Usually, King Liang can't say whether he is arrogant or has any thoughts, but the prince can't see it anyway. The last time the Queen Mother said no, King Liang turned around and left, without hesitation at all.

Today he was dressed in court clothes, and he stood unswervingly in front of the gate of this palace: "You must see it!" ”

The prince went in for a long time, and King Liang waited impatiently before he came out: "Uncle Huang, please." King Liang followed him in, and saw Empress Dowager Zhang sitting under the window where she often sits, her face uncertain, and she said coldly to King Liang: "Why did Uncle Huang come?" When King Liang saw that she was safe and sound, he first breathed a sigh of relief and saluted: "The younger brother has not seen the Queen Mother for a long time, so he should come in to see her." ”

"I'm comfortable if you don't come, I won't come to have fun as soon as you come," Empress Dowager Zhang said with a cold face: "I'm just listening to the operas singing, and I have to come to see you as soon as you come." Uncle Huang, the emperor has been with me a lot recently, you should pay more attention to this national event, isn't it good to let us orphans and widows go? ”

King Liang choked, and his dissatisfaction with the Zhang family's past came to his heart again. Thinking of Liu Zhaoyi, who was personally sent to the West by himself, and thinking of the emperor's entrustment. King Liang was furious in his heart, if it weren't for you to be the queen, how could your Zhang family do such a poisonous thing. If I don't pursue it, I came to visit you and treated me like this?

"The emperor is smart and can manage state affairs, and if there is something, he will quickly send it to the Taifu and his ministers, and he will not dare to lead state affairs in vain." King Liang also came to lose his temper. A glimmer of water flashed in Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes, and when she saw the prince on the side, she said to King Liang coldly: "You don't care about your affairs, I'll say this sentence first, if I don't say it, you will go to the emperor again, if you can't see me, you think the palace will treat you badly, right, if you can't see the emperor, I don't know what you think." ”

King Liang's face flushed with anger, and he heard Empress Dowager Zhang say casually: "You don't need to see the emperor, the emperor is waiting for me to listen to the play in the imperial garden." It's going to be the New Year, can't our mother and son be loose? ”

King Liang came out of the palace and felt that he had never been so angry since he was born. He walked to find Chu Huaixian, Chu Huaixian was on duty at the beginning, and was talking with a few guards, when he saw King Liang coming and beckoning: "You come here." A few of the guards around him who had a hard background said to Chu Huaixian: "You, the guard of the son's brother, someone is looking for you, and you are also the prince." ”

Chu Huaixian smiled and said, "It's nonsense again." When he walked a few steps away from King Liang, he saw King Liang is angry expression. Chu Huaixian hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

King Liang told Chu Huaixian what Empress Dowager Zhang said, and then said to him: "The emperor is young but the state affairs are still clear, their orphans and widows don't need me anymore, I, the imperial uncle, can be relieved and return to the field." ”

"Your Highness's words are not right, you are the emperor's uncle, how can you disarm and return to the field?" Chu Huaixian's words reminded King Liang that he is an imperial uncle for one day and an imperial uncle for life, this is not an official, and he can return to the field. King Liang smiled self-deprecatingly, and said to Chu Huaixian: "You don't have to worry, the New Year will be celebrated in a few days, and the emperor wants to see me on New Year's Day." ”

Chu Huaixian smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, there are still more than 20 days before the first day of the new year." In the middle, don't you see the emperor? King Liang flicked his sleeves: "I don't care, I'll go home and bake sweet potatoes on the stove." ”

Coldly snubbed King Liang to Empress Dowager Zhang, watching King Liang's figure angrily leave the palace, tears falling. The princess still came up politely: "The queen mother, you don't have to look at it, the prime minister said, although you are no longer the queen mother in the future, you are the eldest princess, if His Royal Highness King Liang is interested, give him a county king." ”

"You...... Where is the emperor? Empress Dowager Zhang said angrily, and the princess grinned: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as you are safe, the Emperor will be fine." Of course, as long as you are fine, the emperor will be safe. ”

The prime minister's trick of coercing the mother and the mother is a good move.

Empress Dowager Zhang washed her face with tears, thinking that she was good to her family, how could they have the intention of rebellion. Although the Queen Mother is a virtuous person and has filial piety. But this country belongs to her son, and she doesn't want to become the eldest princess from the queen mother.

Chu Huaixian saw that King Liang was angry and went to persuade him, and he was even more suspicious. Empress Dowager Zhang is a virtuous person, after the first emperor went west, the concubines who served the first emperor before were rewarded, and the queen mother should not be so right to the emperor's uncle.

The next night, Chu Huaixian was on duty, and after nightfall, he quietly sneaked outside the emperor's bedroom and secretly looked inside. Seeing this, Chu Huaixian was shocked, there was one more person in this hall, and it was the uncle of the great country who came to ask him to hunt during the day.

Why is Uncle Big Country here? Chu Huaixian only stayed for a moment before leaving. When I went back to the palace to inspect the palace, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. Feel free to stay in the palace, and he shouldn't stay here.

The next morning, I went home and slept sullenly for a long time, seeing Xiao Chu and his son building a snowman in the yard, Chu Huaixian called Xiao Chu to come over, and everyone told her: "It's time for you to leave with your son, it's also good to bring your son here, you don't have to pester me, send Brother Yu home safely, and then bring my letter back is important." ”

Xiao Chu, who has been frightened for the past few days, shook his head: "No! We stayed together as a family. If anything happens to you, what will my son and I do? ”

Chu Huaixian said lovingly: "Fool, don't be stupid, Brother Yu is the eldest son, and the most important thing is to send him away." After discussing with Xiao Chu in this way, Chu Huaixian asked people to send a letter to Uncle Guo: "Uncle Wu is fortunate to return it, and the foolish couple is willing to be a good family." The plum blossoms in the long pavilion outside the city are sparse, please bring your sister-in-law and wife to enjoy the flowers. ”

When Uncle Guo received this letter, he went to show his father Zhang Chengxiang with joy: "The son of Taifu Chu is an interesting person. Prime Minister Zhang Cheng saw it and smiled: "He saw that the Queen Mother was surnamed Zhang, and she was not polite to their family recently, so he understood." He said to his uncle: "Then the family is okay, take your wife to enjoy the flowers with him." ”

The uncle agreed, and Prime Minister Zhang asked again: "The emperor still refuses to write the edict of Zen?" Uncle Dao said: "I persuaded him all night yesterday, I don't want him to be young, but I can stand up." Prime Minister Zhang Cheng stroked his beard and said: "You go and tell him again, on New Year's Day, he must write the edict of the Zen throne, and if there is a disobedient person on that day, there will be no forgiveness when the palace is killed!" ”

"Most of the officials in the six ministries are in charge." Uncle Zhang Cheng said that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng smiled gloomily: "Kill!" "The military power is in hand, these literati are in front of the sword, and they never obey?

Jingli can now enter but not exit, as soon as the news is blocked, when the border passes know, at least a year to go out, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is quite complacent, by that time, the old man has stabilized the situation.

The next day, when the snow was still drifting, Chu Huaixian took his wife and family to enjoy the flowers with his uncle's family. When I arrived at the rendezvous outside the city, I saw that most of the people who came were the doormen of the Zhang family and the officials who depended on them. When they saw Chu Huaixian, they all came over and stammered: "Behind Uncle Guo, he often praises his son's literary talent and martial arts, and he can travel with his son, and Uncle Guo likes it very much." ”

Chu Huaixian looked around them with a smile on his face, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. When Xiao Chu was ashamed of himself, he saw a group of people coming, and Uncle Dao walked in front with a smile on his face.

"Huaixian came early," Uncle Daguo dismounted and greeted Chu Huaixian, and he didn't have any suspicion at all when Chu Huaixian's family arrived. glanced at Xiao Chu twice, smiled in his heart, and was really dignified. Turning around and calling the people in the carriage: "Come out and meet Mrs. Chu and the little boy." ”

Getting out of the car was Mrs. ....... Jin, who was dressed in glamorous clothes.

The doormen were stunned, they all heard that today was a family trip, but they didn't expect ....... they looked at each other in private, the prime minister's overall situation has been decided, and the uncle will be the prince in the future, and he doesn't need to look at other people's faces when he does things now, as long as he appeases the prime minister.

Xiao Chu was even more stunned, and after being stunned, he was angry. The matter of boring building should have something to do with Mrs. Jin's constant eyeing. When she was stunned there, Chu Huaixian looked calm, smiled and saluted: "Madame is so dressed up today, Meihua is also ashamed to see you." "The eldest prince of Chu praised it as if it was true.

When the north wind rises, patches of plum blossoms are blown to the ground. Mrs. Jin was full of joy: "Childe praises." Came over and took Xiao Chu's hand, knowing that Uncle Guo wanted to envelop Chu Huaixian, Mrs. Jin was extremely enthusiastic about Xiao Chu: "I cried like something when you left Beijing, said that you are back, I like it, I begged Uncle Guo to take me out, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I have a lot to say to you." ”

Xiao Chu also returned to his natural and smiled amiably: "No, I brought you something and sent it to you tomorrow." "Uncle Dadao and Mrs. Jin can hear that this is lying with their eyes open, but since Xiao Chu said this, he thought that he wanted to give a gift. Mrs. Jin was overjoyed and looked at Uncle Daguo: "I don't like you hunting, let's go see the flowers." ”

The two of them walked in front, and Brother Yu jumped with him. Mrs. Jin was not without envy: "You are such a good child." Xiao Chu seemed to be as cordial as a sister to her, and whispered: "You, let's give birth to one too." When Mrs. Jin only said this, she wanted to introduce Xiao Chu as a confidant, and she also whispered: "When I get married, you can come." ”

Xiao Chu sneered in his heart, this group of people is not ashamed, the most shameless is the lady in front of him. Are you married? Could it be that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's rebellion was successful, and you can't enter the palace to be the crown princess?

The plum blossoms are fragrant, Xiao Chu only puts his heart on the plum blossoms, and just has a smile on the people around him, and speaks to her.
