In the imperial study, Emperor Yu flipped through the folds, and a eunuch cautiously walked to the side, "Emperor Qiqi, Lord Han is here." ”

"Let him in" Emperor Yu never looked up, and wrote on the fold.

As soon as Han Wen entered the door, he knelt down and said nothing.

Emperor Yu continued to review the folds, neither of them spoke, and after a while, Emperor Yu spoke, "Lord Han, is the floor hot here?" I've been kneeling for a long time, what about the servants at home? Won't you be burned on the fire? ”

"Back to the emperor, minister... The minister wants to share the emperor's worries. ”

"Oh? What worries the widow, let's hear it."

"He is confused, timid, and useless when he is old, and the minister wants to go up to check the prince's affairs for the emperor."

"Hmph, is Aiqing teasing the widow? What else do you do besides teaching and organizing books? Is that what you do? You said that Neishi is old and useless, is there a difference between you and him except for one fat and one thin? ”

"The emperor is right, the minister will not do anything except teaching, he will not be useful, he will not be useful, he will not do anything."

"Okay, the widow knows what you want to say, you bury the words in your stomach, I called you that night, in fact, I want you to participate in the affairs of the heir to the throne, and by the way, I want you to write the edict...

"The minister doesn't dare, long live my emperor...

"Okay, okay, after listening to the widow, I was really mad at leaving the book treasure and drove you all away."

"My emperor is wise, Weichen really didn't do anything."

"The widow understands, since you are here, I will give you a matter, do you remember Sheng Zhan?"

"Sheng Zhan?" Han Wen frowned and silently recited the name, "Your Majesty, but the grand master who revived Yongjiang?" ”

"That's right, it's him, the two of us were still young men at that time, do you remember, follow my father to the south to inspect Yujiang City, which was built magnificently, although it is not magnificent, but it is definitely the first city in the country."

"Yes, the grand lord also refused any reward, and the first emperor left angrily in the end, but he could see that the grand lord was loyal to the first emperor, and knelt outside the city gate for a month to bid farewell to the first emperor, and finally the first emperor specially issued a decree to make the grand lord willing to get up and go home."

"Loyalty, haha, my father can tell the widow, that Sheng Zhan is afraid of him, and he would rather die than return to his father, at that time he had already started a family in Yujiang City, but he just didn't want to move."

"Afraid? Why are you afraid? ”

"Don't discuss this, taboo. A few days ago, the prince used the power given to him by the widow to recruit a person, called Sheng Jia'an, the widow learned that he donated a gold mine to the court, and after being a virtuous minister, he was quite a good man in the local area, and the widow checked that it was Sheng Zhan's grandson, and in a few days this Sheng Jia'an was going to come to the imperial city to go to the Ministry of Industry, these things were arranged by the prince himself, and he did not tell the widow, what official position do you think the Ministry of Industry will arrange for him. ”

"This..."

"The Widow Wants to Listen to Your True Thoughts"

"The minister guessed that he would be placed in... Department of the Ministry of Water"

"Hmph, what a Master Han, don't be confused."

"The minister doesn't dare, the emperor, the minister... Han Wen was scolded by Emperor Yu and almost ran out of urine.

"Hmph, he also wants to get involved in the waterway, since the widow gave him privileges, he has done so many bad things from me! Han Yushi, get up, the widow scared you, if you had been in charge of the prison proceedings a few years earlier, it would have been worse than the surname Song De, the widow knew that you guessed. "It is said that he is a courtier, but Emperor Yu has always regarded Han Wen as his friend, Han Wen has been timid since he was a child, but he is absolutely loyal to Emperor Yu, and Emperor Yu also understands that Han Wen does not want to be an official because he is afraid of entering the chess game of officialdom, and if he is not careful, not only will he die, but he will also embarrass Emperor Yu.

"There is really no one around the widow who can be trusted, so if something happens, I can only let you old monsters help me" Emperor Yu suddenly sighed, and the older he gets, the more uneasy he becomes.

"As long as the minister's head can still breathe, he will use his teeth to clean things up for the emperor." Han Wen replied categorically.

"In this way, you go to Yujiang City for the widow to take a trip to see the local customs and officials, how big the gold mine is, how rich the resources are there, and does the Sheng family understand? Come! Give the rod. As the king spoke, a little eunuch slowly walked up to Han Wen with a wooden staff in both hands.

Han Wen took the wooden staff and looked at it, it was six feet long and taller than Han Wen's two heads, the whole body of the staff was purple, the head and tail of the staff were red and black respectively, the three colors were integrated, and gradually opened on the entire cane. At the three feet of the cane, there are engraved the four words of Tao Li into Shi, and the four characters are engraved with a seal of "such as I am coming", and then above is the name of Emperor Yu "Xianfeng".

Han Wen was so frightened that he let go of the cane, and at the moment when the cane was about to fall to the ground, he hugged it and kowtowed deeply.

"Your Majesty, Minister... Inevitably... Live up to the emperor's grace and do the best in the world for our country. ”

"The widow is dying, the widow doesn't know what to do, and now it has been found that the edict has been secretly read by the prince.

If he wants to pass the throne to the second prince Ming Qing, he must have known about it." Emperor Yu said that this was a little helpless.

"Your Majesty, will the crown prince really rebel? Is he willing to inherit this throne in the Ming and Qing dynasties? Han Wen asked.

"The widow already knew that he had transported iron tools to the three countries of Langzu, Xianbei, and Chongweng, and these three countries had been the most restless in recent years. The crown prince also observed this, and wanted to use their greed to assist him. As for the Ming and Qing dynasties, I think he should be willing, no matter how much he doesn't want to break off with his eldest brother, he will think about this country. By the way, this widow in your hand is called it - the great cause of the staff, the widow will edict the world, the person who holds this staff can exercise the right to appoint, and the official positions below the third grade can be appointed at will, the widow can trust Han Que, if you die, pass it to him, let him keep it well, haha. Don't blame the widow for being unlucky, after all, you and I are the same age, maybe we will go down together. ”

"The emperor will definitely be able to live forever, and the old minister can also borrow the emperor's auspicious words," Han Wen hurriedly replied.

"Then you can go back, is your body still standing, it's not far away." Emperor Yu looked Han up and down.

"The minister does not disgrace his mission" Han Wen's voice suddenly rose an octave and straightened his waist.

Watching Han Wen walk out of the main hall, Emperor Yu recalled the dream he had been having, and muttered in his mouth, "Take care of my children~ Sheng family?" ”

In the prince's palace, the prince knocked on the chess pieces and sat opposite a palace maid.

"Prince, they are getting more and more excessive, and this time they were almost found out by Ando's subordinates." A man who looked like a merchant was leaning over the prince's ear to report the situation.

"Won't they listen to me?" The prince said casually while playing chess.

"Luck, they all have a fluke mentality, and they don't want to listen to the minister's words." The merchant replied.

"That's it, my father already knows about me."

"What?" The merchant's hair suddenly stood on end, and he was frightened, "Then why is the imperial city... So quiet. ”

"On the surface, it's nothing, my father is already old, although he already knows what I have done, but he is no longer able to do it, it depends on whether he is willing to pass on the throne to me, if so, the wind and waves will be calm, everything will go naturally, but everyone in the world knows that his son is against him, his old face can't hang up, and the country can't bear the internal and external troubles. Moreover, the Ming and Qing Dynasties... How dare you fight with me! The prince mentioned the word Ming and Qing Dynasties and paused for a while, his eyes flashed, and then a chess piece fell, "I've heard of killing my father, but I've never heard of eating children." Hmph"

"Prince, the internal worry is that you don't have to be afraid, but aren't you afraid that you won't be able to control the hungry wolves outside?" The merchant said cautiously, lest he might anger the prince.

"Since I was with the Ming and Qing dynasties, when I accidentally saw the edict, I was no longer afraid, and he was afraid of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and he actually hid in that small private school as a gentleman, and he had no interest. I am the crown prince, I have helped my father and the emperor to take care of it for 30 years, and the edict is actually written in the name of the Ming and Qing dynasties, where am I not as good as him, where am I not as good as him" The prince suddenly couldn't control himself and shouted.

"Prince, the wall has ears" The merchant shook three times and hurriedly pulled the prince.

"You don't have to be afraid, my father hurts me. As long as my father doesn't move me, I'm still his good son, as for the dogs outside, give me a few more bones, and you'll be obedient, if not, you will kill the chickens and monkeys, and secretly leak some news to Anhu, so that Anhu can teach them a lesson. ”

"Yes!"
