Han Yuan Palace, a hundred officials stand, facing the prince sitting on the small seat under the empty dragon chair.

The prince who changed into a spring dress looked thinner and thinner, although the clothes were made to fit as well as possible by the palace people of the needlework bureau, but wearing it on him, it still made people vaguely feel empty underneath.

"If you have a book, please play, and there is nothing to retreat!" Zhu Liubao held the dust whisk in his hand and said loudly in a shrill voice.

Gu Pingshan, the right minister, stood up and said in a deep voice: "The old minister has a plan to play, and the two cities in the south and north of Beijing have been newly opened, and the business is prosperous, but the two cities in the east and west have not improved. The minister has ten strategies for the prosperous city here, and he also asks His Highness to decide. After finishing speaking, he took out a thick piece of music.

When the prince saw the thick stack of folds, he smiled slightly: "It's hard work." ”

This letter only looks at the thickness, and it must be a standard book of 10,000 words. Gu Pingshan is about sixty-seven or eighteen years old, and his eyes have long been bad, I am afraid that after he dictated, he sorted it out with the help of his family staff.

In the past few days, Gu Pingshan has been writing a book to ask for a new establishment as soon as possible, and he has been supporting Yan Shuyu again and again, but today he suddenly started to do serious things, which made the prince feel very surprised.

After Gu Pingshan retreated, Zhang Zelin, the left minister, stood up and said loudly: "The minister has something to play!" Please also ask His Royal Highness to appoint the emperor's grandson as soon as possible. ”

The prince waved his hand lightly: "This matter is very important, and I will mention it later." Do you have anything else to discuss? ”

"Your Royal Highness, it's about the country, how is it not the right thing to set up the crown prince!" Zhang Zelin said loudly: "Your Highness, don't shirk!" ”

Before the prince could say anything, he saw half of the ministers in the room take a few steps forward, standing behind Zhang Zelin, humming, all of them seconded.

The atmosphere in the Hanyuan Hall is difficult to look at for a while.

However, Gu Pingshan was intimate today, and said sideways to Zhang Zelin: "Lord Zhang, His Royal Highness has already said that he will mention it later, why be so aggressive." ”

"If His Royal Highness appoints the crown princess early, or His Majesty establishes a new princess early, and someone in the harem presides over it, we will naturally not be in such a hurry." Zhang Zelin said loudly.

Gu Pingshan coughed: "Why should Master Zhang be in a hurry!" If the two of us find the time, we will ask to see Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty what He means. ”

The prince's palm under his sleeve suddenly clenched.

That puppet emperor said that it was okay to be sick for a while, but he couldn't call it sick for a lifetime. And even if he is seriously ill, Gu Pingshan and Zhang Zeling, who are important ministers of the imperial court, have the right to meet the emperor.

The previous puppet was very obedient, cowardly, and didn't talk much. But since that person was killed during the sacrifice to the sky, the newly found puppet has been in a lot of trouble, in addition to being similar in appearance to the real emperor, he is also bold, and Yan Shuyu hooked up.

The prince didn't know if this puppet had told Yan Shuyu his true identity, but according to Yan Shuyu's heart, he probably knew the truth, so he made so many things later.

Yan Shuyu was named a concubine, that is, the last time Gu Pingshan and Zhang Zelin took the remaining five high-ranking officials to the harem to visit the emperor, the fake emperor suddenly wrote an edict in his hand, and took out a forged queen document to seal Yan Shuyu as a concubine, and called Yan Shuyu to come out and meet several officials on the spot, and they were familiar.

The prince's people naturally didn't dare to act rashly in front of these ministers, so Yan Shuyu picked up such a big fruit.

There was an endless quarrel in the court, and the prince listened with a faint expression, nodding or shaking his head from time to time, but it was impossible to see what he really thought.

From before dawn in the morning, Hanyuan Hall began to quarrel, until noon, the prince in the middle also considerately asked the eunuch to give a seat to several ministers who were over seventy years old, for fear that they would not be physically exhausted, but there was still no argument to come out with a result.

The prince looked at the leaky bell in the main hall and said with a smile: "It's not too early, and if there is nothing else to do today, let's disperse." ”

Usually at this time, it is probably only the end, because the ministers are arguing with each other, and no one is willing to give in to each other, so they have to talk about it another day.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zelin, who had been fighting against Gu Pingshan, said loudly: "Your Highness, the minister still has something to say." If His Royal Highness refuses to appoint a prince or a crown princess, the minister will not mention it today! But the minister's opinion is the same as that of Lord Gu, please ask His Royal Highness for permission, let the minister and Lord Gu, Lord Lin, and Lord He enter the palace together, meet Your Majesty, and ask for the new queen of Concubine Licai. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers in the entire court seemed to have made an appointment, knelt down in front of the prince, and said loudly in unison: "Ask for Your Highness's permission, and make the talented concubine the new queen!" ”

The prince's face remained unchanged, but there were a few more shades of darkness in his dark eyes, which seemed to be deep enough to suck in all the light in the air.

It has only been more than three months since Yan Shuyu became a concubine, and there are so many people who want to support her as the queen.

It wasn't that the prince hadn't thought about getting rid of Yan Shuyu before, but he didn't know how tightly guarded Yan Shuyu was, and she was already very fledgling before she secretly prepared to seal the concubine, whether it was assassination or poisoning, she avoided it.

Moreover, since she sealed the concubine, she has lived in a simple place, never going out of the palace, occasionally traveling, she chooses daytime, mostly going to the Weiyang Palace of Rong Guifei, with dozens of people waiting before and after. Even the puppet emperor was protected by her, so he dared to become more and more bold.

This woman is really tricky and tight.

The prince never expected that this woman, who once had no sense of existence in his eyes, would secretly do so many things behind his back, and he was careless.

"Good! In the past few days, my father's body has improved slightly, and a few adults have come with Lonely, and the rest have dispersed. The prince stood up and nodded to the expectant people looking at him below.

Seeing that the prince was so good at talking, many people were overjoyed. Since the last time the emperor was assassinated, he has never been to the court again, and it is more difficult to see him than to ascend to the sky.

The prince walked in the palace with several ministers, suddenly, a eunuch came to him, saw the prince, hurriedly trotted over, knelt on the ground and saluted the prince firmly, the prince turned sideways slightly, half a step behind, and asked Zhu Liubao to take a few ministers to walk in front, and the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground got up and said something to the prince in his ear.

The prince's black pupils, which were still tightly constricted, quietly loosened, his eyes were a lot more kind, and his steps were much brisker, and he soon caught up with those eunuchs.

On the Zhuangzi of Yanwang's Mansion in the suburbs, Yan Qingge rested.

They had just returned to the Yanwang Mansion and sat in the spotless house, Yan Qingge was even a little unaccustomed to it.

After a simple wash, change into clean clothes, and before it was time to eat lunch, Yan Qingge took the maid and walked towards the courtyard of the eldest princess of Roufu.

There are some things, as said in the letter, Yan Qingge felt unsafe, so he endured it until now.

The meal was just set in the house of the eldest princess of Roufu, and when she saw Yan Qingge coming, she greeted happily: "I heard that you are coming back early in the morning, come and dine with me." ”

Yan Ling'er also looked at Yan Qingge and asked, "What about Sister Wan'er and Brother Aman?" ”

Thanks to Yan Ling'er, she still remembered her younger brothers and sisters, which made Yan Qingge's heart warm, and replied: "Ling'er, my younger brothers and sisters are in my yard, why don't Ling'er go to my side and have dinner with my younger brothers and sisters and play for an afternoon." ”

Yan Ling'er cheered and asked the nurse to hug her over immediately, and the eldest princess of Roufu saw that Yan Qingge had something to say, so she broke Yan Ling'er away.

The maid retreated, and only Yan Qingge and Princess Roufu were left in the house.

Yan Qingge first told the eldest princess of Roufu the news he got in Qingzhou, and then told him about the eunuchs sent by Yan Shuyu on the road.

When it came to the fact that the emperor in the palace was fake, the eldest princess of Roufu did not have any additional reaction, thinking that she had already known about it.

But when she heard that the general of the northern land was the real emperor, the eldest princess of Roufu clenched the handkerchief in her hand excitedly and muttered, "No wonder! Brother Huang is really alive! ”

After Yan Qingge finished telling everything, the eldest princess of Roufu's eyes flashed, and said, "The matter of cultivating feathers will trouble your uncle a lot." Then he said, "That meditation monk, have you brought it back?" ”

Yan Qingge shook his head: "Uncle said that it would be useful to keep him, and take him with him, I am afraid that there will be other people on the road who have the intention of robbing the road, and he will be left in Qingzhou for the time being." ”

"It's the same reason, you are all women and children, and you can't prevent it."

The eldest princess of Roufu seemed to have some plan, and also said to Yan Qingge: "Concubine Cai has come to our house several times, saying that she wants to help us rescue Xiu Yu, but asks us to stand on her side and push her to be the queen. We didn't say yes. ”

"Sister-in-law must not promise her." Yan Qingge said: "If she really becomes the queen, it will be a misfortune for her family and country. ”

Seeing that Yan Qingge bit to death and was unwilling to fight Yan Shuyu more, the eldest princess of Roufu also had the heart to avoid this topic, and said, "I entered the palace to see Xiu Yu a few days ago. ”

Yan Qingge said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, how is Xiu Yu doing?" Why did Chu Xiu Palace suddenly ask us to see him? ”

A helpless smile appeared on the lips of the eldest princess of Roufu: "It was Xiu Yu who threatened the prince, saying that if we didn't let us see him, he would tear down the houses in Chuxiu Palace." He had nothing to do in the palace, so he exercised his body every day, and now he is a strong man. ”

Yan Qingge couldn't imagine what kind of scene it was, but looking at the expression of the eldest princess of Roufu, it was not a bad thing.

"Xiu Yu said, when you come back, I asked you to take Aman to meet him. If the prince did not agree, he would tear down a few more houses. Princess Roufu said.

Yan Qingge's heart was soft, but he couldn't help asking, "It's not appropriate to only bring Aman, right?" I'm afraid that I have to bring Wan'er with me, otherwise I will always let those who have a heart find out that something is wrong. ”

The eldest princess of Roufu said: "This is also the truth! ”

"By the way, sister-in-law, there is something I have to say." Yan Qingge remembered that when she set off from home to Qingzhou, Yan Wan'er gave her unknown mother-in-law a carriage and told her eldest princess Roufu about 1510.

When the eldest princess of Roufu heard this, she muttered, "I will deal with this matter." ”

This matter is actually very serious, because the mothers-in-law used by Yanwangfu now are all working in Yanwangfu for many years, either domestic slaves, or slaves bought in the early years, this incident proves that someone has been bought by outsiders in private.

Last time, it was just Yan Wan'er who was coaxed into the carriage, and next time, if the master was poisoned or instigated again, it would be a big trouble. Therefore, this matter needs to be treated with caution.
