When Empress Dowager Zhou heard Zhu Jianshen say this to her, she didn't know how to answer Zhu Jianshen for a while, although Zhu Jianshen said every word as if he was polite, but in fact it was not.

Zhu Jianshen asked the Empress Dowager Zhou not to interfere in the government anymore, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was of course unhappy, because her ancestors fought the world on horseback.

"Your Majesty, the mourning family will tell you again, do you have to welcome the eldest princess into the palace today? If so, the mourning family can tell you very clearly that it is absolutely impossible for the mourning family to coexist with the eldest princess in this harem, and there can only be one person left in the harem, who do you think is better for the emperor? As she spoke, she looked at Zhu Jianshen fixedly, wanting Zhu Jianshen to make a decision.

Zhu Jianshen knew that this was just her expedient measure.

"Mother, please forgive your request that my son can't agree, my son also wants to give his mother some good life, so that her mother can be majestic in the harem, but now is not the time to be majestic. Queen Mother, you know that I hate others to threaten me the most, the more others threaten me, the more I don't want to do it, and now the Queen Mother is actually using family affection to blackmail me, what do you say I should do? I really can't make a decision. ”

"Your Majesty, you keep saying that you are the eldest princess, don't forget, the mourning family is your biological mother, the reason why you have today, the mourning family has always been helping you, right? And the mourning family respects the emperor in everything, no matter what the emperor says, the mourning family will help the emperor to achieve it without hesitation, who makes the emperor the son of the mourning family. But how does the emperor treat the mourning family. ”

"In short, I have made up my mind, no matter what, I will welcome the eldest princess back, no matter who I am, I can't stop me. Mother, I have always respected you, but you can't stop me, because I am doing this for the stability of the world, not for my own selfishness. If the queen mother stops your son because of your own selfishness, the son has nothing to say. ”

After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, the Empress Dowager Zhou was so surprised that she didn't know what to say, and the Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Zhu Jianshen and said hatefully: "I didn't expect that you treated your mother like this, good, good, good." ”

As she spoke, she stepped aside, took out a pair of scissors from nowhere, and pointed them at herself.

When Zhu Jianshen saw this situation, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and said in a loud voice: "Queen Mother, what do you want to do?" What do you want to do? You're not trying to do yourself badly, are you? ”

Empress Dowager Zhou raised her head, glanced at him and said, "I gave birth to you, an unfilial son, what's the point of my life?" She said as she wrenched her hair with scissors.

Seeing her do this, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but be frightened, Zhu Jianshen looked at her and was stunned for a long time before he said slowly: "Mother, why are you doing this?" ”

Qingsha stepped forward to help the Empress Dowager Zhou, and at the same time raised her eyes to look at the emperor, she said to the emperor a little angrily: "Your Majesty, how can you treat the Empress Dowager like this?" The Queen Mother is for you, it can be said that she is dedicated, dedicated to righteousness, where in the world is there such a good mother as the Queen Mother? But you treat the Queen Mother like this, how sad is the Queen Mother? ”

"Me." Zhu Jianshen hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something, but he never said it.

In this situation, what else can he say, after all, if he is wrong, he is wrong, if he is right, he is right, he is right, the difference between right and wrong is very clear, he himself feels that he has not done anything wrong at all, Empress Dowager Zhou is threatening him with death, and he can't give in, if he succumbs because of this, the first thing to be sorry for is himself.

"Sometimes a lot of things don't have the final say on me, can you understand?"

"I just can't understand it." Empress Dowager Zhou shouted bitterly: "I only know that you were originally a very obedient child, but now you are becoming more and more disobedient, and you can do everything, why?" Why did you become like this? Why? After she said this, she raised her head and looked at Zhu Jianshen, waiting for Zhu Jianshen to give her a reply.

Zhu Jianshen saw that the Empress Dowager Zhou was looking at him with this kind of eyes, and he was very frightened for a while, but he always firmed up his thoughts, and said to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "Queen Mother, the son is really not unwilling to agree to you, but this matter is very important, if the son obeys your heart, you tell the son of the minister, what should we use to block the princess?" The eldest princess now has Li Chengyu and Luo Kailing in her hands, and there are many knights to help, but what about us? We don't have anything at all, the so-called more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust, that's what we say, the mother doesn't want her son to lose the way, right? ”

After hearing his words, the Empress Dowager Zhou became more and more angry, and the Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to say something, but after a long time, she never said it.

Seeing the appearance of the Empress Dowager Zhou, he said slowly: "Queen Mother, Erchen knows that it is superfluous to say anything now, but Erchen hopes that you can understand Erchen's heart." Erchen did this, not only for himself, but also for the sake of the world. If there is really a war, in the end it will be the people of the world who will suffer, do you think Erchen is right? ”

After the Empress Dowager Zhou heard him say this, she finally didn't speak, she twisted her head away, obviously very angry, and after a long time, she said to Qingsha: "Let's go." ”

"Yes." Qingsha agreed, and stepped forward to help her.

"The Queen Mother." Zhu Jianshen shouted, but she didn't look back, didn't look at Zhu Jianshen again, and walked away with Qingshajing.

Looking at her back, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but let out a long sigh, he didn't know what to say for a while, in short, that feeling was very, very uncomfortable in his heart, as if he had blocked something.

Zhu Jianshen watched the Empress Dowager Zhou walk out, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh, he knew that no matter what he said to the Empress Dowager Zhou now, the Empress Dowager Zhou would not listen, since she already had her own ideas in her heart, then she would definitely come according to her own ideas.

Empress Dowager Zhou is also a very self-righteous and very stubborn person, she has this kind of views and ideas, and that is a matter of course.

Empress Dowager Zhou has her own considerations, and Zhu Jianshen also has her own plans, if they can't merge together, then they have to go their separate ways, otherwise they will drift apart.

Zhu Jianshen looked at the back of the Empress Dowager Zhou, sighed, and then came back to his senses.

Wan Zhen'er persuaded him on the side: "Your Majesty, don't be so angry anymore. Sometimes, some things may not go the way the emperor thinks, but as long as things can be done, that's it. Although the Queen Mother is indeed a little angry now, but her anger will disappear one day, if the emperor gives up his idea of welcoming back the eldest princess now, then the matter will be much more serious. If the emperor really fights with the eldest princess at that time, it will be the emperor who suffers, and the emperor will do this called the person who knows the times as Junjie. ”

After Zhu Jianshen heard Wan Zhen'er say this, he nodded and said, "Zhen'er, what you said is still very reasonable, and I think so too." Whether the queen mother is angry or angry, it is temporary after all, and if I fight with the eldest princess because of this, things will not be so simple, and I can't afford this responsibility. ”

Wan Zhen'er couldn't help but be very proud when she saw that Zhu Jianshen had never changed her mind, she knew that in this way, Empress Dowager Zhou's idea would not succeed, Empress Dowager Zhou did so many things, just hoping that she could take charge of the harem by herself, but now, Zhu Jianshen didn't listen to her at all, so the situation was much simpler.

The next thing Zhu Jianshen wanted to do was to go back to Jian's Mansion in person to welcome back Jian Huaizhen, and he first issued a holy decree throughout the country, explaining that the previous incident of Jian Wenying and others being slandered and rebelling was really a fallacy, and it was he who listened to what the traitor said, so it led to this.

These words reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the Empress Dowager Zhou became even more angry, what does it mean to listen to the words of the traitor, does the traitor in his mouth refer to himself?

Empress Dowager Zhou was so angry that she couldn't afford to get sick, but Zhu Jianshen couldn't care about it so much, after all, there were priorities, and the next thing was to go to Jian Mansion to welcome back Jian Huaizhen.

He was still a little uneasy in his heart, after all, he had done something wrong before, lest Jian Huaizhen deceive him, and before leaving, he went to ask Wan Zhen'er and said to Wan Zhen'er: "Concubine, you tell me that the eldest princess really forgave me?" Or is it just trying to coax me to be happy, and then. At this point, he stopped talking.

Seeing his appearance, Wan Zhen'er couldn't help but despise him from the bottom of her heart, but of course Wan Zhen'er didn't dare to say her contempt for him, so she had to say to him earnestly: "Your Majesty, since the eldest princess has promised you, of course it's true." If she goes back on her word, this matter will reach the ears of the world, and she will have no way to explain it to the world, don't you say? ”

When Zhu Jianshen heard her say this, he nodded and said, "You still have a point, Zhen'er, with you, a military advisor, by my side to help me, I really don't have to worry about big things." ”

When Wan Zhen'er heard Zhu Jianshen's words, she was very sneering in her heart, thinking, when you were not good to me before, why didn't you say these words? Now come to me again to coax me with these words, is it so easy for me to deceive?

She thought so in her heart, but she never showed it in her mouth, and still said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you think too much, it is a blessing for Zhen'er to be able to help the emperor, if Zhen'er can't help the emperor, then Zhen'er will blame herself." The emperor doesn't want anything now, so hurry up and welcome the eldest princess back. ”

Zhu Jianshen took many people, including some courtiers, to the Jian Mansion together.

At this time, Jian's Mansion had already been unsealed, and after Zhu Jianshen arrived at Jian's Mansion, he raised his head and looked at it, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart, but fortunately, Wan Zhen'er had been following him, so he mustered up the courage and stepped forward.

At this time, someone opened the door, and after Zhu Jianshen walked in, he took a look and found that there were more and more flutes inside, and he couldn't help but say a little angrily: "This is the mansion where the eldest princess used to live, how can you let it go so far?" Come on, immediately order someone to repair the Jian Mansion, and be sure to repair it to the same as before. ”

"Yes." Next, someone agreed, and recorded Zhu Jianshen's words.

Zhu Jianshen walked in slowly, after he walked in, he looked at it, and there were still some different emotions in his heart, no matter what, he still worked against Jian Huaizhen for so long.

After entering, he found that Jian Huaizhen and the others had already been waiting, so he stepped forward in good spirits, saluted Jian Huaizhen, and then knelt down again, and said: "I have seen the eldest princess, the eldest princess, I have done a lot of wrong things before, all because I am young. Please also ask the eldest princess not to see the same knowledge, let alone take it to heart. And when he had said that, he would knock down.

When Jian Huaizhen saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, and his eyes were red for a while, so he stepped forward to help him up and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this." What kind of child are you, don't you understand in your heart? This palace also believes that you are just instigated by a traitor, but this palace also hopes that you will not do this kind of thing again in the future, which will only make others feel cold. ”

"Yes. Don't worry, princess, I will never do this kind of thing again in the future, I must take the world and the country as my responsibility in everything. ”

After hearing him say this, Jian Huaizhen nodded, feeling a little more comfortable.

Seeing that Jian Huaizhen finally nodded, he felt a lot more comfortable, he looked at Jian Huaizhen and said to her: "The eldest princess, since I came to welcome you in person, please return to the palace with me, after all, the palace is the home of the eldest princess." ”

Hearing him say this, Jian Huaizhen hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, this palace will go back with you, I hope you will grow up well in the future and be a good emperor." ”

"Remember the teachings of the eldest princess." Zhu Jianshen hurriedly said.

Jian Huaizhen nodded and went back with Zhu Jianshen.

Jian Huaizhen glanced back at Jiang Shaoheng, Fang Xiao, Ji Qihan and the others, and said to them: "Huaiming Yuan, the emperor will send someone to repair it later." Ladies and gentlemen, you should go back to Huaiming Garden for the time being, and we will meet again after a drink when we have time. ”

Ji Qihan laughed heartily and said, "Okay, the matter has now been satisfactorily resolved, and we are happy for the princess." ”

Jian Huaizhen's eyes became indifferent in an instant, she looked at Ji Qihan and said to him: "Actually, the matter has not been satisfactorily resolved so far. There's one thing that has always been a thorn in my heart, and I don't know how to say it. ”

"Princess, what do you think is a thorn in your heart?" Ji Qihan asked.

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said to him, "I'm talking about Li Chengyu." ”

"Li Chengyu?" Ji Kaihan's face also became ugly in an instant, and Ji Kaihan raised his head and looked at her: "You mean to say that you are afraid that Li Chengyu will be unfavorable to the imperial court and take the opportunity to encroach on the land of our dynasty, right?" ”

"Yes, that's exactly what I said." Jian Huaizhen said to him worriedly.

Zhu Jianshen said disappreciatively: "The eldest princess, don't take it to heart, isn't it just a little Li Chengyu, don't we still have Luo Kailing?" Let Luo Kailing deal with him. ”

"Your Majesty, things are not as simple as you think. Luo Kailing is indeed a general of our country, and Li Chengyu is not a general of North Korea? The two of them were originally of equal strength, but if they really fought, the situation would not be as simple as we thought. Luo Kailing and Li Chengyu don't say whose tactics are higher and stronger, whose tactics are lower and weaker, the 100,000 army alone will be consumed by them, and the march and battle will definitely be extremely painful, this palace has also commanded several battles before, and knows the truth of this. And the most worrying thing is that Li Chengyu is holding it now, while Luo Kailing has nothing, because Li Chengyu is now near the capital, and he still has 20,000 soldiers and horses in the imperial city, if he really wants to fight, he can completely threaten the lives of innocent people at that time, but Luo Kailing wants to save the lives of the people in the capital wholeheartedly. In this way, Luo Kailing has already lost the opportunity, so if we want to deal with Li Chengyu, it is not as simple as we think. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, everyone sighed, looked at her, and said to her: "Princess sister, since this is the case, do you have any good way?" ”

Jian Huaizhen didn't say a word, and her face became ugly.

Seeing her expression, everyone had already guessed that she already had a plan in mind, but she must have felt that this strategy was not feasible, or that it was somewhat difficult to exercise.

Jiang Shaoheng's eyes were sharp, he looked at Jian Huaizhen, hesitated, and said, "I know what strategy the princess sister is thinking, and the strategy that the princess sister thinks is that it can be assassinated, right?" ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded, she turned her face to look at Ji Qihan, and said: "Everyone knows that Li Chengyu was invited by Brother Ji Qihan Ji for us, and now we are going to assassinate Li Chengyu for the safety of the people and the country of the Ming Dynasty." If this matter spreads, I am afraid that it will damage Brother Ji's reputation. ”

Ji Qihan laughed boldly and freely, he said: "This is nothing, it is detrimental to my reputation, so what is it?" Besides, I, Ji Kaihan, didn't have a reputation originally, in this case, of course, the country's righteousness is important. Although I, Ji Kaihan, have not been an official in the imperial court for so many years, I still know a lot about these things, princess sister, don't worry, you don't have to be taboo with me in everything, just do it according to your own ideas. Besides, the assassination of Li Chengyu can be done by me personally, and I don't have any friendship with Li Chengyu, so naturally my friendship with you is different. And Li Chengyu was really disappointed by me, I invited him from North Korea, and after he came, he refused to leave, and he also brought a lot of soldiers to sneak into the capital, and it was obvious that he had a plan. For people like him, if I don't deal with him, then I won't be Ji Qihan. ”

After Ji Qihan finished speaking, he smiled loudly.

Jian Huaizhen saw his free and easy appearance, and his heart was relaxed, what Jian Huaizhen was most afraid of was that Ji Xianhan couldn't accept it, but now that Ji Qihan can accept it, the situation is much simpler.

Jian Huaizhen thought for a while, and then said to him: "There is no need to worry so much about this matter, I think even if we don't want to fight with him, as long as we assassinate him, it's okay." After assassinating him, I believe that there will be no one in the Korean army who can lead this 100,000-strong army, and then they will be a plate of scattered sand. When they become a plate of loose sand, they can hit them with one blow. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, everyone nodded.

And Ji Kaihan was even more ambitious, and took the initiative to ask for help, wanting to deal with Li Chengyu, which made Jian Huaizhen feel very gratified, no matter what, he did not disappoint Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen glanced at Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Jianshen was silent, obviously thinking about what they just said, Jian Huaizhen said to him: "Your Majesty, since these knights are willing to share the country's worries and solve problems, then the situation will be much easier. As long as he, Li Chengyu, made a slight move, he could send troops to assassinate Li Chengyu, and the situation would be much simpler at that time. ”

After hearing her say this, Zhu Jianshen nodded and said, "But with the eldest princess in charge, I will listen to the eldest princess." ”

In fact, Zhu Jianshen is now afraid in his heart, he is so afraid, what Jian Huaizhen said is very reasonable, if you don't want Li Chengyu's 100,000 army to go to war with the army of the imperial court, there is only one way, and that is to send someone to assassinate Li Chengyu.

And assassinating Li Chengyu is simply a breeze for them to be knights in the rivers and lakes, so on the other hand, if Jian Huaizhen wants to deal with Zhu Jianshen, wouldn't he be able to use the same method? As long as you send someone to kill Zhu Jianshen, it's enough.

But she never did this, it can be seen that she is thinking about family affection, thinking of this, Zhu Jianshen felt sweaty all over, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

In short, he was completely frightened, and he couldn't help but regret it deeply, feeling that he shouldn't have fought against Jian Huaizhen in the first place, he was just hitting a stone with an egg, and he couldn't help himself. Fortunately, under the persuasion of Wan Zhen'er, he came back to his senses in time and did not fall into a deep position, otherwise, the situation would really be terrible.

Thinking of this, he felt a panic in his heart, turned his face away, looked at Jian Huaizhen, and said to her, "Imperial Princess, then let's go back first." ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "That's fine, let's go back first, as for Li Chengyu's matter, we will discuss it slowly after returning to the palace." If Li Chengyu is willing to listen to persuasion, it is good, but if he refuses to listen to persuasion, the situation will be very bad. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, Ji Qihan immediately said to her: "Since this is the case, then, princess sister, let me go to see Li Chengyu and talk to him about this matter." Maybe he'll listen to me, after all, I moved from North Korea. If he refuses to obey, we will be a different matter, what do you think? ”

"I don't think there's a problem." Jian Huaizhen nodded and said.

"Okay, that's what I said."

So things were done according to what she said, and Jian Huaizhen and Zhu Jianshen returned to the palace without mentioning it, on the other hand, Ji Qihan went to persuade Li Chengyu.

After Ji Qihan got Jian Huaizhen's order, he went to see Li Chengyu, Ji Qihan knew that this matter was very important, if it was not handled properly, the impact would be extremely far-reaching, if it really affected the country's social affairs, then the matter was not a joke.

He came to the place where Li Chengyu lived, and Li Chengyu had now taken his brothers to live in the capital, and they were like robbers in the capital, often doing some very scoundrel acts, and Li Chengyu had the intention to let his subordinates do this, because in this way, it would appear that their Korean army was very powerful.

After Ji Kaihan saw Li Chengyu, Li Chengyu didn't take Ji Kaihan in his eyes a little, he glanced at Ji Kaihan coldly, and said to him: "Mr. Ji, what did you come to me for today?" If there is nothing important, please go back first. ”
