Guo Tingfang said: "That's not bad for a while, sister, I'm here to help you, this Zhang Xiyue is very smart, if you use the old one, it will definitely not work, this is also the reason for your current failure..."

Tan Yurong said angrily: "Concubine Guo, what is the purpose of your coming today?" Does it disgust me to see me being punished and fall into a well? ”

"Of course not, my sister misunderstood, I really want to help you."

"Why... Are you suddenly so kind? ”

Guo Tingfang smiled and said, "My heart and eyes have always been very good!" To be honest, Zhang Xiyue not only threatens you but also threatens me! ”

Tan Yurong looked at her suspiciously, "Tell me about it... What should I do? ”

"I mean, didn't Zhang Xiyue help my sister today! You take the opportunity to pretend to be grateful and have a good relationship with her, and stabilize her first. People have weaknesses, and often contact her to find her weaknesses.

Even if she has no weaknesses and never makes mistakes, her sister can find some mistakes and shoehorn them into her...! ”

......

Besides, Zhu Gaochi left Tan Yurong and went straight to the West Building, when Zhang Xiyue was having dinner and hurriedly welcomed him in.

Zhu Gaochi praised her well, what kind of reasonable, virtuous, and lenient to others, and what good words such as show off wisdom and Lan Xinhui were used without hesitation.

Of course, Zhang Xiyue had to be modest, and said while he was happy: "Lord Prince, my servant Yuan Zhongyue has been very knowledgeable since he was a child, can you help him find an errand in which yamen?"

"Yuan Zhongyu..."Zhu Gaochi touched his round chin and thought for a while, and asked, "The Analects and poems you memorized were all taught to you by him, right?"

"Yes, that's not all! He is now teaching me Mencius, and he can memorize the four books and five classics backwards. ”

"Well, I know he has some talents, but..."Zhu Gaochi was puzzled: "Now that the crown prince has not been established, Gao Xi and Gao Sui are staring at me!" If you send someone to the yamen at this time... I'm afraid that they will say that I have bent the law for personal gain and complained to my father. ”

"Oh..."Zhang Xiyue was a little disappointed, "That... The prince doesn't need manpower to handle official business! ”

"That's even worse, the secretaries who handle court affairs with me are all sent by the imperial court, and they need at least six ranks, how can ordinary people do it?"

"Alas... I promised him that I would give him a background. ”

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help frowning, "How can you agree to this kind of thing casually... Wait! I'll talk about it when the prince is decided. ”

This matter is related to the establishment of the crown prince, Zhang Xiyue naturally can't force it, so she casually asked: "Isn't it just a word from the father to make who is the crown prince... Isn't my father still undecided? ”

"My father has always liked his second brother Gao Xi, saying that he is brave and good at fighting, but he has no patience to sit quietly and cannot handle court affairs."

"Then the prince should be appointed as the crown prince!"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head, "It's not that simple... Eat and eat, women don't ask about the government...! ”

After Zhu Gaochi left, Zhang Xiyue found Fang Zhongyu and repeated Zhu Gaochi's words.

Fang Zhongyue nodded and said, "Actually, I heard it, Miss doesn't have to worry about it."

Zhang Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief, "It's rare that Yuan Gongzi is so young and so sensible, if you enter the official career, you will definitely soar and have an unlimited future." ”

"Miss has won the prize, actually..."

"What are you going to say? How did it suddenly become sloppy? ”

"The prince said that he wouldn't let you intervene in the government, and I don't know whether to say this or not."

Zhang Xiyue was surprised, "How... Could it be that Yuan Gongzi still understands court politics? ”

Fang Zhong smiled more and more shyly, and said, "I don't understand the government, but I may be able to help the prince win the position of the crown prince."

"Ahh You speak, I'll listen. ”

"The function of the military generals of all dynasties is to defend the territory and maintain local peace, and when it comes to governing the country and the country, it is the business of the civil ministers, so the emperors in the peaceful years pay more attention to the civil ministers..."

"Oh, what the hell are you going to say?" Yin Xiaotao asked in wonder: "Didn't you say that you want to help the prince become the prince?"

"Don't worry!" Fang Zhongyue said: "Because the emperor attaches great importance to Wenchen, he also attaches importance to Wenchen's opinions, and the prince often handles court affairs and should have a good relationship with Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu and Huang Huai;

These people are all important advisors of the Yongle Emperor, and they can make people... By the way, there is also Xie Jinjie Bachelor, so that these people can collectively make a statement to the emperor to make the prince the prince. ”

"It's... Will it work? Yin Xiaotao was skeptical.

"Of course, the emperor can't determine the candidate for the crown prince because of the words of a few people, but it will have a considerable degree of influence."

"Yuan Gongzi," Zhang Xiyue asked in confusion, "How do you know this... Lord Yang and Lord Huang have been in Beiping, but you are in the south...? ”

Fang Zhongyue smiled, "Me too... I heard about it by chance, but these are not important, the key is that these people can help the prince, and the young lady can suggest it to the prince... Don't say I said it. ”

In fact, Fang Zhongyue didn't know these people, but his father Fang Xiaoru mentioned it when he talked about current affairs with Qi Tai, a scholar of the Ministry of War, and Huang Zicheng, a bachelor of Hanlin, and said that only four people in Beiping had knowledge and talent, and he remembered it with excellent memory.

"Oh..."Zhang Xiyue seemed to have an understanding, and muttered: "It's okay not to mention you, but the prince will definitely ask me how I know this, and I can't answer!"

"Miss, it can be said that your father, Master Zhang, mentioned it."

"Well, it's a bit far-fetched, but it makes sense... That's it! ”

Yin Xiaotao brought the tea, Fang Zhongyue withdrew, and as soon as he got out of the building, he saw Guo Tingfang walking over with two maids.

Guo Tingfang came from Tan Yurong, she wanted to see Li Yan'er to find out her attitude towards today's matter, but she changed her mind halfway through.

She thinks it's better to come to see Zhang Xiyue first, although this girl is not very old, she is a powerful character, now is an excellent time, she has to use Zhang Xiyue to pull Tan Yurong off the concubine position, it is the first time in so many years that she has such a good opportunity, she must not miss it!

When Guo Tingfang came to the front of the building, Zhang Xiyue had already greeted her, "Sister Guo, you don't rest at noon." Guo Tingfang came once in the morning and came again, which made Zhang Xiyue wonder.

"I rarely take a nap, and I'm more energetic when I walk." Guo Tingfang said with a smile.

"Sister, please sit inside!"

Guo Tingfang took a step and suddenly stopped, "I won't go in, the sun is very good, let's just walk outside!" ”

"That's... All right! Zhang Xiyue understood what she had to say. The two of them walked slowly along the stone path between the trees, and the maid followed from a distance.

I don't know why, Guo Tingfang didn't open her mouth after walking around the west building for half a circle, Zhang Xiyue glanced at the corner of her eye, and it was very strange to see her tight face.

After a few more steps, Guo Tingfang didn't open her mouth Zhang Xiyue suddenly smiled, Guo Tingfang looked over in surprise, "Sister Xiyue, what's so funny?" ”...
