Chu Xue explained the reason to her younger brother and persuaded him to go back and not to bother with Chu Lin.

After the two separated, Min Yanshi watched the carriage of the Zhu family leave, remembering his gaffe when he saw Fu Yi at first glance, and secretly warned himself that he would never do this again in the future.

If someone finds out, if he calls Zhu Yunzhi to find out, it will definitely bring trouble to Fuyi.

He restrained his emotions, boarded the car and went home, there will be a big event in the family today, the former glory of the Min family has come to an end, and all the burdens have fallen on him alone.

It was this afternoon that news came out from the capital that the old man asked to resign due to poor health, and ended his career as the first assistant half a year ahead of schedule.

Next year coincides with another imperial examination, and in the next half year, the forces of all factions in the capital will be affected, or so strong, or weakened or even ceased to exist, and more importantly, unless the crown prince suddenly dies, the concubine and the four princes obviously have no hope.

But the emperor has not yet issued a decree, I don't know what to wait for, when Zhu Rong went home to ask his grandmother for peace, he mentioned that the emperor may give marriage, maybe a few days later, there will be a decree to be sent.

"The old man wants to return to his hometown and return to his hometown." Zhu Rong said, "The emperor should send a favor to him and let him watch his eldest grandson get married before leaving the capital." It is also good to save some of the face of the Min family and let the world know that it is not him who forced the old man to abandon the elders of the two dynasties, he is still a benevolent monarch. ”

"If it's really troublesome until the emperor gives you a marriage, your sister can't go back." The old lady said, "If something happens in the future, it will be difficult to get together, has she really thought about it?" ”

Fuyi was on the side, recalling the scene of the encounter outside the palace gate, as well as today's chance encounter with Min Yanshi, it can only be said that this eldest prince is indifferent and peaceful at any time, and he will not be as enthusiastic and cheerful as Kaijiang, because his personality is like this.

In any case, the yamen wrote a paper for Chuxia, and then went to court to fight a lawsuit, Min Yanshi's decisiveness and calmness, and the help was really in his eyes, Yunzhi's love was not unreasonable, but unrequited love was bound to be hard.

"Grandma called you." Zhu Rong suddenly reminded Fuyi, "What are you thinking?" ”

Fu Yi came back to his senses and said: "Grandma, let's not be a good person to the end, seek a family affair for the daughter of the Min family, and marry her far away, without her instigating from it, Yunzhi can have less trouble in her in-law's family." ”

The old lady said, "We can't do this scourge, whose family is unlucky and wants to put such a daughter-in-law on the stall?" The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the old man has retired, but the Min family is not without foundation, there is a concubine in the palace, there is a princess in Kishu, and our family is also a family, do you think she will stop here? ”

Thinking about it, why should they go to the homes of innocent people, but it has become Yunzhi's sin.

On the way back to Qingqiu Pavilion, Zhu Rong said to Fu Yi: "The matter has come to this, since Yun Zhi insisted on choosing, let her face everything in the future by herself." When you marry into this family, you are also under a lot of pressure, and you can't like your in-laws, but because we are good, all troubles can be looked down upon, and Yunzhi goes to the Min family, which is the same reason. ”

Fu Yi understands this, even if they clear all obstacles for Yunzhi, if they can't get along with Min Yanshi, they are destined not to have a good life, and this is exactly what others can't do, and no one can force Min Yanshi to like Yunzhi.

"That's why I'm angry." Zhu Rong said helplessly, "With my understanding of him, he is just for the interests of the family, if it weren't for Yingzhi and Minzhi being young, he might not be married to Yunzhi." ”

Fuyi in turn comforted her husband, each other is nothing more than distressed rhyme, what will happen in the future, do your best for your sister is to be considerate, no matter how much you think about it now, you can't change anything.

It is rare that Zhu Rong came back early today, and Zhu Chengqian was discussing matters in the Yang Mansion, and even the eldest lady was not at home, so Citron had already arranged dinner and waited for the young lady and aunt to come back.

It's a pity that after the meal was served, Zhu Rong drank a bowl of soup, and Fu Yi was comparing how she caught Min Chulin's hand and didn't let her do anything to her sister-in-law.

Zhu Rong hurriedly read the letter, turned around to look for Fuyi, and was sorry that he had to leave home, but Fuyi had already come out of the back room, holding a smock and a windbreaker in his hand, and put them on for him considerately and gently.

"Come back early, ride slowly." Fu Yi said, "I'll be waiting for you with a supper." ”

Zhu Rong ignored the citron on the side, kissed and helped him, and then strode away.

Fuyi was only sent to the eaves, watching Brother Rong's back disappear outside the courtyard gate, but Citron walked from behind and said, "Miss, this is from my uncle's windbreaker." ”

Fu Yi looked down and saw that the paper that Xiang'er was holding in her hand was untied from the carrier pigeon's ankle just now.

"Let them take the food, I don't have an appetite." Fu Yi squeezed the paper in his palm and turned to go to the back room.

The note said that there was news from the northwest that a large number of people had been found moving, but the origin was unknown, and the whereabouts were secret, only people had seen it, but if they really wanted to investigate, they couldn't find anything.

Zhu Rong entered the palace overnight to report the matter to the emperor, but Emperor Jiasheng changed his impatience in the past, and said to Zhu Rong solemnly: "It's soon, this time, I don't believe that their father and son will not show up, your father's idea is excellent, after the matter is completed, I will definitely be rewarded." ”

"Neither the minister nor the father dares to be it." Zhu Rong bowed and said, "I hope that Prince Sheng can show up as soon as possible, and don't have the heart of rebellion." ”

Having said that, Zhu Rong was extremely disappointed in his father, he could guess that his father's method must be very vicious and ruthless, and he was bound to put the prince and his son to death, but he didn't say a word to himself.

"Rong'er, if you were sent to attack the Zansi, would you be sure?" The Emperor said, "The trouble on the border is also a source of restlessness for me day and night. ”

Zhu Rong bowed and said: "The minister has no combat experience, but he is willing to be the vanguard, for the emperor and for the border people." ”

Emperor Jiasheng said: "After you go back, make an offensive and defensive strategy, and let me see it first." I don't want to startle the snakes, I don't want the Zansi people to think that I am going to attack them immediately, I have always been gentle, so continue to let them take off their guards, even if the whole world thinks that I am a nest, as long as I can finally drive the Zanxi people out of Daqi, I don't care. ”

These words sounded enthusiastic, but Zhu Rong had reservations in his heart, the emperor was obviously separating him from Prince Sheng's father and son, maybe there was also his father's help, and the news he could get in the future was bound to be less and less.

Zhu Rong said quietly: "Please ask the emperor to give the minister two days, so that the minister can concentrate on studying the battle plan." ”

The Emperor said, "Three days is fine, I want the most well-thought-out strategy, only victory and not defeat." ”

I thought that when such a major news was sent overnight, the emperor would gather others to discuss countermeasures, but he was sent away early, what kind of plan did his father offer, so that the emperor could be so calm, and Zhu Rong was uncertain for a while.

When he returned home, he was surprised and asked, "Didn't you enter the palace?" Won't you be allowed in tonight? ”

Zhu Rong didn't answer, and stood outside the Qingqiu Pavilion and looked at Xinghuatang: "My father hasn't come back yet?" ”

Zheng Ming responded: "The eldest master hasn't come back, and he hasn't seen the rumors, do you want to go to the Yang Mansion to take a look." ”

Zhu Rong raised his feet, retracted them, turned around and walked out of the house, while instructing Zhengming: "Tell the young lady that I went to the Yang Mansion." ”

Zhengming said: "The young lady is at the eldest lady's place, saying that she has gone to hand in her homework, but she is already late for a long time, and she doesn't dare to delay it any longer." ”

Zhu Rong smiled, with deep meaning in his eyes, and left home without saying anything.

Zhu Chengqian, who was discussing in the Yang Mansion, saw his son come to the door, and then returned to the house, the eldest lady sat in a car alone, and the carriage of the father and son followed.

In the car, talking about the secret report that Zhu Rong received and the emperor's reaction and entrustment, Zhu Chengqian said: "If the Zanxi people are driven out of the country, it will be a great merit that can be recorded in history, since the emperor has given you a chance, you should not live up to it." ”

"What about Kishu?" Zhu Rong pretended to ask sincerely, "The emperor's attitude is very abnormal, you know his temper, the emperor said...... Your idea is good. ”

Zhu Chengqian couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, was the emperor too stupid, or too cunning, and deliberately revealed it to his son, did he want the father and son to be discordant?

He coughed dryly and said, "In two days, you'll know." ”

Zhu Rong asked, "You and your mother went to the Yang Mansion to discuss something?" ”

Zhu Chengqian said: "Discuss tonight, whether to kill the concubine and the four princes." ”

Zhu Rong was shocked and said: "The general trend of the Min family has gone, why chase and fight, the two mansions are originally in-laws, if their family is defeated, what should Yunzhi do?" ”

Zhu Chengqian said indifferently: "It's not that I forced her to marry, it is said that the old lady and you were originally opposed, but in the end, why did you agree again, do Yunzhi and Min Yanshi have a personal relationship?" ”

"Dad, what is the result of your deliberations?" Zhu Rong has no time to explain Yunzhi's marriage, even if there is no this, he and Min Yanshi's brothers for many years can't bear to watch his family suffer a catastrophe.

Zhu Chengqian looked at his son: "This time the incident really has nothing to do with them, but in the past, do you think the Min family opened a good hall?" They wanted to put the prince to death more than once, but they didn't succeed, and everything now is also to blame. ”
