The twenty-third day of the lunar month, the day when the emperor sealed the seal.

In the imperial study, the small stove cooks tea, and Yuan Hong and Rencheng Wang Yuancheng sit together.

Holding a spoon in his own hand to scoop hot tea for himself and Yuan Cheng teacup, Yuan Hong smiled and said: "Today, I seal the seal, and the courtiers do not need to go to the court to discuss politics, it is only about the family and the country. ”

Yuan Cheng said: "Where is Your Majesty going?" In the country, His Majesty is the king, and the ministers should be loyal to the king; In the family, the minister and His Majesty are blood relatives, and they should be of one heart and one mind with His Majesty. Your Majesty will introduce the minister as a confidant, which is the luck of the minister's three lives! ”

Yuan Hong bowed slightly, and said: "I know that Uncle Huang was to relieve my difficulties last night, but the middle palace has been empty for a long time, which is indeed not good for the family and the country. I don't know what Uncle Huang thinks, so I invite Uncle Huang into the palace today to discuss, and I would like to hear the details. ”

Yuan Cheng said: "As the head of the sect, the minister is in charge of the affairs of the clan, and the wife chosen by His Majesty should enter the sect temple in the future, so he should be cautious." ”

Yuan Hong took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "How can Uncle Huang not know who I want in my heart?" ”

Yuan Cheng knew in his heart that the emperor belonged to He, but his sister-in-law married Gao Ling, the daughter of Gao Yong, as his step-concubine. Yuan Cheng grew up in the royal family since he was a child, and he knew that the people in the harem were different, and intrigue was not uncommon. The queen is in charge of the inner palace, and she should have the ability to make bold and decisive decisions.

Looking at Yuan Hong, Yuan Cheng bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a message, I don't know if I should say it?" ”

Yuan Hong bowed his head slightly and said, "Uncle Huang wants to say something, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Yuan Cheng said frankly: "The minister knows that His Majesty and Zuo Zhaoyi have a deep relationship, and the minister is also happy for His Majesty. Only the queen is the mother of all peoples, and she can help Her Majesty balance the five powers on the outside, and she can control the five pieces for the royal family on the inside. However, Zuo Zhaoyi has a good heart, and since he was a child, he has grown up in the people and does not know the art of power and strategy, even if he is loved by His Majesty to ascend to the throne, the minister is afraid that Zuo Zhaoyi will hurt the brocade with a knife and bear the trust of His Majesty. ”

Yuan Hong didn't answer Yuan Cheng's words, only took the spoon and added hot tea to the teacup, and after a while, he spoke: "I know what Uncle Huang is worried about, Uncle Huang should know that I am not a person who acts rashly because of his own personal feelings... Now in the harem, Zhaoyi is respected on the left and right, but Zhaoyi on the right is a sword halberd, and his heart is unpredictable..."

Looking at Yuan Cheng, Yuan Hong sighed lightly, and continued: "I have been taught by the emperor's grandmother since I was a child, and I know the danger of interfering in politics in the harem. The harem is where my heart rests, and I only wish it to be pure and peaceful. ”

Hearing the emperor's words, Yuan Cheng said: "If Your Majesty wants the harem to be clean, then you must have both ability and political integrity, both magnanimity and decisiveness, and the ability to kill and decide, so you can." ”

Yuan Hong said: "People's hearts are natural, but the means can be experienced. ”

After taking a sip of the tea, Yuan Hong fell silent again. Playing with the teacup in his hand, he suddenly changed his mouth and said, "Uncle Huang has a candidate for the crown prince in his heart?" ”

Yuan Cheng was caught off guard, stunned for a moment, paused slightly, and Yuan Cheng said: "The prince is the prince of the Great Wei, and he is the future of the country, and the minister does not dare to speculate." ”

Yuan Hong let out a long sigh and said, "If Zi Sui hadn't been canonized as the crown prince by the imperial grandmother earlier, he would not have been used by people with ulterior motives to use it as a pawn against the Han Revolution and make him embark on the road of no return." I didn't want to be crowned the crown prince at this time, but there are unforeseen circumstances, although I am in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, if there is a sudden accident, who will succeed? ”

"Among my many princes, although Zi Yi has both talent and affection, he is still young, if Zi Yi is the prince, it is difficult to ensure that he will not repeat the mistakes of Zi Sui."

Yuan Cheng nodded, and also echoed: "Your Majesty is extremely worried! The young mother of the master is strong, which is not the luck of the family and the country. ”

Yuan Hong said: "If you talk about age and courage, you are all based on Zi Ke, and this son has a heart of benevolence and filial piety, which also makes me quite gratified. Only my dynasty has always been the death of the son and the noble mother, so the establishment and the establishment of the prince complement each other, not alone. ”

For many years, Yuan Hongyan has come to this point, and Yuan Cheng knows it in his heart. Bowing his head, Yuan Cheng said: "Your Majesty wants to take the king of Changshan as the prince, but the son and the noble mother die, if Zuo Zhaoyi is not promoted to the queen, the day when the king of Changshan becomes the prince is the period when Zuo Zhaoyi will go to the immortal..."

Yuan Hong smiled bitterly and said: "I and the emperor's uncle are considerate, and I also know that Zuo Zhaoyi's heart is too good, and he is not the queen's first choice. Only Zuo Zhaoyi is the love of my heart, and I only wish to be with her in this life..."

The emperor had no true feelings at all, and when he heard Yuanhong's words, Yuan Cheng also felt moved in his heart. Looking up at Yuan Hong, Yuan Cheng said: "Your Majesty has a heart-to-heart relationship with the minister, and the minister should also know everything... If His Majesty wants to take Zuo Zhaoyi as the queen, then he should first rectify the harem, so as to ensure that Zuo Zhaoyi is in the Luan position. ”

Yuan Hong knew the meaning of Yuan Cheng's words, thought for a while, and said: "The affairs in the palace are complicated, if there are any more people who are willing to control it, it is indeed difficult for Zuo Zhaoyi to balance... Now that I am sealed, I can take advantage of these days to take care of the affairs of the harem. ”

The monarch and the ministers were about to discuss the matter of rectifying the harem, and they saw that the three treasures had come in.

Sanbao leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, King Rencheng, Princess Pengcheng asks to see you outside the imperial study!" ”

Yuan Hong and Yuan Cheng looked at each other and smiled, and said to Sanbao: "It's time for the sixth sister to come, you go and announce her visit." ”

Sanbao hurriedly bowed his head and welcomed Yuan Yu inside.

When Yuan Yu heard that Yuan Hong had announced Yuan Cheng's entry into the palace, he expected that it would be a matter of the future, so he hurried to the imperial study to find out.

bowed to Yuan Hong, and greeted Yuan Cheng again, and Yuan Yu also sat down with the two.

Yuan Hong scooped a spoonful of hot tea for Yuan Yu and said with a smile: "I heard that the sixth sister is going out of the palace for a banquet on the sunset, how can I come here today?" ”

Yuan Yujiao said with a smile: "The imperial doctor ordered me to say that if I am dull in the palace all day long, I will be depressed... The royal brother was busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty on weekdays, and he had no time to take care of me, so I had to go out of the palace to find my sisters to drink and talk to relieve the pain of depression. ”

Yuan Hong smiled faintly and said, "The sixth sister is the nature of the golden knife of the big Malaysia, how can she be depressed and become ill?" When you were not a child, you will go wherever you wish, but you will rejoice. ”

Yuan Yu knew that Yuan Hong loved himself as always, and his heart was happy. Looking at Yuan Hong, Yuan Yu said: "I am widowed in the palace, and Brother Meng and You Zhaoyi will not give up, so I can rest assured here." In the past few months, You Zhaoyi has treated me with kindness and care, which has moved my heart. ”

Yuan Hong said: "Right Zhaoyi is now in charge of the palace, and you should take care of it as you need." ”

Yuan Yu said: "What the imperial brother said is true! If the abolition of the queen is in power, I am afraid that this special encounter will not be possible... In my opinion, the imperial brother should take it as the last, so that the imperial brother can rest assured of the affairs of the previous dynasty. ”

Yuan Hong originally wanted to drink tea, but when he heard Yuan Yu's words, he put the tea cup in his hand on top of several cases, and said: "The sixth sister is quite close to Youzhaoyi... It is only a matter of family and country after the establishment, and I will decide at my discretion. ”

Yuan Yu was unwilling, and said: "Since the imperial brother said that it is a matter of family and country, then at home, I am a fellow mother with the imperial brother, in the country, I am the eldest princess of the dynasty, and my advice is also the wish of all brothers and sisters, and I hope that the imperial brother will think twice!" ”

Yuan Hong didn't answer, only took the spoon and added water to the tea kettle, and then put the water spoon next to the stove, Yuan Hong said: "Right Zhaoyi has the ability to set the sea in the sky, I don't know that all the brothers and sisters have the intention of protecting the right Zhaoyi." ”

Yuan Yu was about to answer, when he saw Sanbao hurriedly entering.

Seeing this, Yuan Yu said with a displeased face: "I am talking with the imperial brother and the imperial uncle, why is the eunuch so reckless?" ”

Sanbao hurriedly bowed and said, "Princess forgive your sins!" Only Heyang had an urgent report, and the slave had to go to His Majesty. ”

Heyang is the place where the late abolished prince Yuan Sui is confined, and now Yuan Sui is dead, only the right son Zheng Qiao is still living in the forbidden place because of the birth of a child in the winter moon. Hearing the words of the Three Treasures, everyone was surprised.

Looking at the three treasures, Yuan Honghu wondered: "What did Heyang report?" ”

Sanbao said: "Your Majesty, Heyang came to report that Zheng Qiao, the right son, hanged himself yesterday..."

Before the Three Treasures could speak, Yuan Yu said: "Zheng Qiao is the wife of a criminal minister, because she followed the rebel son to drink the law, only the emperor's brother was benevolent, and he thought of the fetus in his womb, so he pardoned him for not dying, how could he now seek his own death?" ”

When Yuan Hong heard Yuan Yu's words, he said unhappily: "The child is innocent, but the son is guilty but not as guilty as his wife and children... Sanbao, have you mentioned why Zheng Qiao left her infant son and suddenly hanged herself? ”

Sanbao said: "Your Majesty, the one who came to report the news was a defender of Heyang, and this person only couldn't bear to see the right son die with hatred, so he entered Beijing to report the news." ”

After Sanbao finished speaking, Yuan Hong frowned slightly: "Death with hatred? What's the secret here? Go, announce this person to come, I will personally inquire! ”
