Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of beating the watch came from afar!

It's the fifth watch!

Xie Mingxi reflexively opened his eyes. Then, unspeakable soreness swept over unceremoniously. The whole body felt as if it had been crushed by a boulder, and when I lifted my arms, I felt sore. There are embarrassing marks on the chest, back and back, and the slender waist has also left bruises that have been held by both hands......

This Sheng Hong!

Relying on energy and physical strength, he tosses and messes around......

All the absurdities of last night flashed in my mind.

Xie Mingxi's cheeks were slightly hot, and he took his middle coat from the bedside and put it on, covering the traces on his body. After that, he called Yu Fuyu to come in and wait for him to freshen up and change his clothes.

Sheng Hong still has some energy to spare. On the fourth watch, he got up and went to the practice room, and after practicing for an hour, he bathed and changed his clothes, and came refreshed and full of spring breeze.

"Mingxi," Sheng Hong called out affectionately, and naturally leaned over and landed a light kiss on her forehead.

Xiang Hui and the others silently looked away.

Xie Mingxi glared at Sheng Hong.

It doesn't matter how intimate you are in private, and in front of the maids and attendants, you don't have to be restrained.

Sheng Hong grinned, sat down beside Xie Mingxi, and diligently served a bowl of warm and fragrant chicken and mushroom porridge for Xie Mingxi, then picked up a small silver silk roll, and then sandwiched the vegetables. It's a lot of fun.

Xie Mingxi accepted it with peace of mind.

After breakfast, the two of them had to go into the palace separately.

One goes to the harem, and the other goes to the court.

The matter of Sheng Xuan is over. More urgent and urgent things are just around the corner. Sheng Hong had already given up competing for the position of prince and surrendered to the three princes. Naturally, we must spare no effort to promote the momentum of the three princes to seize the crown.

The two had a tacit understanding, Xie Mingxi and the third princess Xiao Yuhan walked around and stood on a front.

What Sheng Hong has to do is more important.

……

This matter, in fact, is not that complicated.

It is just to preempt the hundred officials and make a twist and turn, and please set up the three princes as the princes.

“…… The three emperor brothers, Sheng Che, are outstanding in learning, have a generous heart, are intelligent and wise, and are loyal, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. It is the best candidate for the prince of Great Qi. The sons and daughters did not avoid their relatives, and respectfully invited their father and the emperor to appoint the three emperor brothers as the prince. ”

As soon as this recital came out, the faces of all the princes were a little subtle.

The faces of the four princes were as heavy as ice, and the expressions of the five princes were complicated.

is the second prince who has no ambition for the position of prince, and his gaze is a little more subtle when he looks at Sheng Hong.

In the heavenly family, he was born to be a noble prince. In the absence of a prince, which prince can not be tempted by the throne? Until the end, no one will give up the opportunity to go all out.

This Sheng Hong really has no ambition for the throne!

I was really willing to back down!

is really willing to push the third prince to the throne!

It's ...... It's the wonder of the prince!

Emperor Jianwen's deep and unfathomable gaze swept over the Seventh Prince Sheng Hong.

The third prince didn't expect Sheng Hong to act so neatly and neatly, and he was quite happy in his heart, but his face showed a look of sincere fear, and he hurriedly gave up his hands and played: "The seventh emperor brother is so praised, the sons and daughters are really ashamed, and they dare not take on such a heavy responsibility." ”

The third prince wants to be the prince again, and he must be humble and polite in his mouth.

No one took the words of the third prince to heart. No one would uninterestingly mention the three princes' "mediocre talents" and "not decisive enough" at this time.

Several elders, each with their own thoughts, did not speak.

It is also not advisable to rush the matter of promoting the establishment of reserves.

Let the protégés and subordinates play the front first, as important ministers of the cabinet, they don't open their mouths. Once it is clear which prince the chariot and horse support, a mark will be left on the body. It is also related to the future of official fortune. Caution must be exercised.

It was Xiao Shangshu of the household department, who also took two steps forward at this time, greatly praised the three princes, and then respectfully asked the three princes to be appointed as the princes.

Emperor Jianwen's expression did not change, he was noncommittal, and he did not send it in the middle of the play.

In the next few days, all kinds of recitals to ask for the prince will come like snowflakes and be presented to the holy front.

……

Emperor Jianwen was right.

In the next few days, hundreds of officials played one after another.

There are those who praise the three princes for their generosity, those who praise the four princes for their civil and military skills, and those who praise the five princes for their intelligence and ability, that is, the second prince who suffers from mouth disease, and some officials ask to be established as the prince. The reason is also ready-made, the second prince is the eldest prince, and there is a grandson, and there is no grandson.

Immediately afterwards, the officials and historians began to dispatch.

First, there was a royal history to impeach the four princes for wantonly interrogating officials in the military department, and then later, there were officials who played a twist and impeachment of the three princes for embezzling ink and power in the household department.

The second prince and the fifth prince have not been able to stop, and there are various twists and turns of impeachment and various reasons for impeachment. For example, the second prince has a mouth and can be the prince, such as the fifth prince is neither long nor outstanding, and he is not worthy of the East Palace at all, etc.

There was chaos in the court, and there was no peace in the harem.

Empress Dowager Li had a minor illness, and Emperor Jianwen personally went to visit the patient.

Concubine Li stayed by the side of Empress Dowager Li every day, and as soon as Emperor Jianwen came, Concubine Li, who looked a little haggard, hurriedly got up and saluted.

Emperor Jianwen looked at Concubine Li's eyes quite gently: "The queen mother is sick, you have been serving her carefully, and I feel comforted in my heart." ”

Concubine Li replied softly: "This is all within the concubine's responsibility. ”

Empress Dowager Li took Emperor Jianwen's hand and said earnestly: "The matter of establishing a prince is not trivial. Don't be impulsive, and don't be coaxed. If you want to pick a prince, you should choose the prince who is the most outstanding in everything in both civil and military affairs. ”

Jianwen asked lightly: "According to what the queen mother sees, which prince is the most outstanding?" ”

Empress Dowager Li has nothing to dare to say, she is the empress dowager, the mother of Emperor Jianwen, and all the princes are her imperial grandchildren. As a grandmother, she prefers whichever one she prefers: "The mourning family thinks that the four princes are very good." ”

Emperor Jianwen glanced at Concubine Li coldly.

Concubine Li lowered her head, not daring to look at Emperor Jianwen's condensed dragon eyes.

Emperor Jianwen stood up: "The queen mother is good at giving birth and recuperating, and I still have a fold that I haven't approved, so I will go to move the palace first." Without waiting for Empress Dowager Li to speak, she brushed her sleeves and left.

Empress Dowager Li was so angry that her face turned pale, and she dropped the tea bowl casually.

What her mother said had no weight at all for Emperor Jianwen. Emperor Jianwen did not make any accusations, but his attitude of getting up and leaving was even more hurtful.

Concubine Li's heart was even more cold.

Yue Shangshu has been running for the four princes, and he also secretly caught up with Li Ge Lao and built momentum for the four princes in the court. She is in the harem, but she has lost her favor, and she has no chance to see Emperor Jianwen in private. I had to work Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Li and Empress Yu have never been on the same page, and they don't treat the three princes very well. listened to Concubine Li's instigation, deliberately pretended to be sick, attracted Emperor Jianwen, and then made a tentative speech.

The results of the temptation are already evident.

Because of the Sheng Xuan incident, Emperor Jianwen has completely disliked the four princes, and has no intention of appointing the four princes as princes.
