But now Zhu Jianshen's mentality, if he wants to persuade him, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.

Despite this, he still stepped forward and said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, the Yellow River is flooded ...... now."

Before he finished his words, Zhu Jianshen had already scolded: "Enough, don't mention the Yellow River flood." Now the construction of the Immortal Temple for Empress Wu is what I am most concerned about. ”

"Yes."

When Lin Jian'an heard him say this, he had to sigh and stand back to the side.

Lin Jian'an has always been loyal to Zhu Qizhen before, he can say anything in front of Zhu Qizhen, and Zhu Qizhen has always trusted him.

But now that Zhu Jianshen has arrived, although Zhu Jianshen still trusts him very much, after all, the feelings are different.

Lin Jian'an saw that the emperor couldn't listen to his persuasion, so he had to give up.

The next day, Zhu Jianshen proposed in the court to establish an immortal shrine for Empress Wu on the top of Dongtai Mountain.

When the courtiers heard this, everyone objected.

Li Xian stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is really not feasible. Now that the Yellow River is flooding, the people are struggling to make a living, and the silver taels in stock are already insufficient, how can they allocate another 10 million taels of silver to build an immortal shrine for Queen Wu? I asked the emperor to put the overall situation first, and first transfer the silver two to the Yellow River to rescue the people of the Yellow River. ”

"Humph! Li Xian, what do you mean by this, do you think that my queen is not as good as ordinary people? ”

Zhu Jianshen's eyes showed a hint of cruelty, and he looked at Li Xian fiercely.

Li Xian rarely saw Zhu Jianshen showing such an appearance, especially in front of so many ministers in the court, but he still said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the queen is important, but aren't the ordinary people important?" The queen is now immortal, but the people are alive, and they are all waiting for the court's rescue in the water. But if the imperial court spends the silver that rescued them on the matter of building immortal shrines for the dead, you say that the people of the world know about it, won't they feel cold in their hearts? Your Majesty, please think twice, water can carry a boat, and water can also overturn a boat! ”

"Humph! What do you mean, do you threaten me? Zhu Jianshen's face suddenly changed greatly, and he said to Li Xian.

Li Xian said earnestly: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean this, the minister just implored the emperor to think about the people." After all, the people are the foundation of the country, and the construction of the immortal shrine for Queen Wu does not have to rush at this moment, and the emperor is invited to think twice. ”

"Humph! I have decided that if anyone dares to dissuade me again, then there will be no mercy. Li Xian, how many heads do you dare to argue with me? ”

Li Xian took a big step forward and wanted to continue, but Peng Shi beside him pulled his shirt hard, telling him to hurry back and stop arguing with the emperor.

Now that the emperor has made up his mind, if someone obstructs him, he is angry, and he will definitely not stop there. It's better to follow his wishes first, and wait until the next dynasty to find a way.

Li Xian saw Peng Shi tugging at his shirt and understood Peng Shi's thoughts, so he had to sigh and retreat.

After waiting for the next dynasty, Li Xian decided to go to see Jian Huaizhen and tell her about this matter.

Li Xian came to the outside of Wan'an Palace and pleaded with Ling Luo to see Jian Huaizhen.

Scattered led Li Xian in.

After Li Xian entered, he saluted Jian Huaizhen first.

Jian Huaizhen hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile: "Lord Li, since we joined forces to get rid of Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Lord Li suddenly came to the palace today, what is the matter? ”

Li Xian's face was solemn, and he said to Jian Huaizhen word by word: "The eldest princess, please ask the eldest princess to think about this matter." Now the Yellow River is flooded and the people are struggling to make a living, but the emperor is wholeheartedly going to build an immortal shrine for Queen Wu on the top of Dongtai Mountain, and wants to allocate 10 million taels of silver. This 10 million taels of silver is enough to help 10 million victims in the Yellow River flood, and the eldest princess must find a way. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard Li Xian say this, her face suddenly changed miserably, and she asked Li Xian: "Does the emperor really have this plan?" ”

"Yes." Li Xian said solemnly.

"Today in the court, Wechen has repeatedly dissuaded the emperor, but the emperor said that whoever obstructs him again will be killed, and asked Weichen how many heads he has. Weichen wanted to argue with the emperor, but was stopped by Peng Shi. Peng Shi asked Weichen to think of a way after going down to the court, and after Weichen went down to the court, he thought about it back and forth, but he couldn't think of any way, so he had to come to see the eldest princess, hoping that the eldest princess could stop this matter. ”

Jian Huaizhen glanced at Li Xian with a commative look and said, "Master Li, you did the right thing in this matter, and Master Peng Shipeng did the right thing." If you fight with the emperor above the court, you will be the one who will suffer at that time. What's wrong with this young man in the emperor, he has always been very measured in doing things before, why is he confused now? If the Yellow River flood refuses to treat the victims, then the victims will rebel angrily, and the world will be in chaos at that time? ”

"The eldest princess is right." Li Xian nodded and said.

Jian Huaizhen sighed and said: "I think that my ancestor Emperor Taizu was harshly reprimanded by the imperial court, and then raised troops to win the world, does the emperor now want to follow in the footsteps of the imperial court at the end of the Yuan Dynasty?" ”

Speaking of this, Jian Huaizhen's face showed a look of deep regret.

She said to Li Xian, "Lord Li, thank you for coming to inform this palace of this. The palace must go to see the emperor and persuade him. If the emperor still refuses, the palace will ask for a golden jade scepter and give justice to the people of the world, and Lord Li has bothered about this matter. ”

When Li Xian heard Jian Huaizhen say this, his heart was put down, and he said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare." It is Li Xian's blessing to be able to contribute to the community and the people of the world. ”

After Li Xian and Jian Huaizhen were noisy for a while, they took their leave.

After Jian Huaizhen sent Li Xian away, he muttered for a long time.

She decided to go to Zhu Jianshen no matter what, and explain this matter clearly.

After all, the people are the foundation of the world, and if the people make any mistakes, they will definitely rebel against the court at that time.

Jian Huaizhen thought of this, so he said to Lingluo: "Lingluo, let's go to the Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor." ”

Scattered Fang Cai also heard what Li Xian said to Jian Huaizhen, she knew that the matter was very important and she didn't dare to slack off, so she followed Jian Huaizhen to the Qianqing Palace.

When Lin Jian'an saw Jian Huaizhen coming to see the emperor, he walked in and said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is asking to see you outside. ”

Zhu Jianshen said impatiently: "I don't want to see anyone now, you tell the eldest princess to invite her back." ”

When Zhu Jianshen heard that Jian Huaizhen came to ask for a meeting, he already expected that she must have come this time to build the Empress Wu Immortal Temple on the top of Dongtai Mountain, so he refused to see her.

Who knew that Jian Huaizhen had already walked in with bits and pieces.

After Jian Huaizhen walked in, he glanced at Zhu Jianshen and said deeply: "Your Majesty, why don't you want to see the palace?" ”

Zhu Jianshen stood up at this time, and said with some embarrassment: "The eldest princess, please take a seat, I am dealing with official business, and I am busy with official business." Originally, I thought that after I finished handling official business, I would go to the Wan'an Palace to see the eldest princess, but I didn't expect the eldest princess to come in person. ”

Jian Huaizhen knew that he was lying, and he didn't tear it up, so he sat down on the side and said, "Your Majesty, this palace has come to ask to see the emperor, and this palace will no longer beat around the bush, and talk to the emperor directly." The palace heard today that the emperor is going to send someone to build an immortal shrine for Queen Wu on the top of Dongtai Mountain, but is there such a thing? ”

The smile on Zhu Jianshen's face suddenly disappeared, and he reluctantly nodded and said, "This is indeed the case." Empress Wu's death is inseparable from me, and whenever I think of it, I feel that there is a dead knot in my heart that I can't untie. Now it is rare for Liang Fang to persuade me to build an immortal shrine for Empress Wu on the top of Dongtai Mountain, so that Empress Wu can receive ten thousand incense, and she can also summon my soul and invite Empress Wu to talk about her previous grievances with me. I think it's a good thing for Empress Wu and for me, doesn't the eldest princess think so? ”

"Yes, Hongu doesn't think so." Jian Huaizhen said categorically.

"The palace is not opposed to the construction of the Empress Wu Immortal Temple, but the emperor's heart for Empress Wu lies in the size of the temple and the prosperity of the incense? Missing a person is more important than the heart, not these false courtesies. What's more, there are countless dead and injured hungry people in the Yellow River floods, and Empress Wu is the emperor's relative, so the emperor is concerned, but don't those dead and injured Yellow River hungry people have their own relatives? The emperor might as well think about his feelings from himself and others. ”

Zhu Jianshen wholeheartedly wanted to build an immortal temple for Empress Wu, and when he saw Jian Huaizhen coming, he had already expected that she was here to persuade him to give up this plan.

Sure enough, after Jian Huaizhen came in, he went straight to him to talk about this truth.

If it was in normal times, Zhu Jianshen would be able to listen to it, but now that he has suffered several major blows in a row, he has become resentful in his heart, and he can't listen to Jian Huaizhen's words.

He shook his head and said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess is not right. The Yellow River is important, but isn't my queen important? The queen is always the mother of a country, the mother of the world, and there is only one in the whole world. The hungry people of the Yellow River have been flooded for more than a month, and those who can survive now must no longer be in any danger, so why should the eldest princess worry about the sky? ”

Jian Huaizhen was furious when he heard this, and said angrily: "The emperor doesn't like to hear what the palace said. What is the survival of the person is not in danger, the emperor, as the Son of Heaven, can not help himself, can not plan for the people of the world, is this what a virtuous monarch does? ”

"Okay, just be the eldest princess right. But this world is always my world, not the world of the eldest princess, do I have to go through the princess no matter what I do? Could it be that the eldest princess wants to emulate the queen and queen mother of the Song Dynasty and listen to the government? ”

The words "hanging the curtain and listening to politics" are like a big mountain, and they weigh heavily on Jian Huaizhen's heart.

Jian Huaizhen never thought that he had this idea in Zhu Jianshen's heart, he would think that he was a dictatorship.

Seeing this, Jian Huaizhen's face suddenly turned pale, she shook her head blankly and said, "Your Majesty, you think too much." The palace is dedicated to doing things for the imperial family, but it has never thought of interfering with the emperor's regime. It's just that now that the emperor has done something wrong, the palace will come to say. If the emperor doesn't want to listen, the palace won't say much. ”

After speaking, Jian Huaizhen didn't say a word anymore and turned away.

Zhu Jianshen also felt that his words were too serious, and he wanted to keep Jian Huaizhen, but he didn't know how to say the words in his mouth, so he could only watch Jian Huaizhen leave.

Now, Zhu Jianshen had to ponder whether it was time to build an immortal temple.

Although he is indeed guilty of Empress Wu's death, how much affection does he have for Empress Wu in his heart? Could it be because he has a deep affection for Empress Wu that he built an immortal shrine for her? Or did he just want forgiveness?

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Not to mention that Zhu Jianshen was hesitating, just to say that after Jian Huaizhen walked out of the Qianqing Palace, he rushed back to Wan'an Palace angrily.

Seeing this, she knew that she had a dispute with the emperor, so she gently persuaded: "The eldest princess, the emperor is still young and doesn't understand many things, so it's better not to be like him." ”

Jian Huaizhen's anger was a little restrained, but he still said: "The emperor is now eighteen years old, not a child, and the major affairs of the world are waiting for him to decide." If he does everything he wants, then how can he be responsible for the people of the world? How can you think about the people of the world? Now that the Yellow River is flooded, so many victims are waiting to be fed, but the emperor built an immortal temple for Queen Wu for his own selfishness. If this matter is known to the ancestors and ancestors, how should this palace face them. ”

The more Jian Huaizhen spoke, the more heavy his face became.

Seeing this, Ling Luo had no choice but to say slowly: "The eldest princess, there is always a solution to everything. Why don't you go to the emperor in two days to discuss with him? ”

Jian Huaizhen shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this matter doesn't make sense, the emperor has never said anything to the palace, and today he actually said that the palace wants to emulate the queen mother of the Song Dynasty and wants to listen to the government." These words are heard in the heart of this palace, how cold the heart of this palace is. ”

Ling Luo finally understood why Jian Huaizhen walked out of the Qianqing Palace in a rage.

There is an ancient adage in the Ming Dynasty: the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.

Jian Huaizhen also tried her best to follow this ancient precept, although she did make a lot of effort in killing Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, but in the final analysis, it was also for the sake of the imperial court. Now Zhu Jianshen actually thinks of her like this, so why is her love.

Ling Luo slowly persuaded from the side: "In this case, the eldest princess might as well go to the queen mother of the two palaces to discuss." Especially the Empress Dowager Zhou, she has always been the emperor's biological mother, maybe the emperor can listen to her persuasion. ”

Jian Huaizhen snorted and said: "Empress Dowager Zhou will probably not approve of the emperor's construction of Empress Wu's Immortal Temple, but she will not think about the people of the world, what she thinks is that the emperor will undoubtedly sweep her face by doing this." But the emperor is blaming the Empress Dowager Zhou for Empress Wu's death, how can he be willing to listen to the advice of the Empress Dowager Zhou. As for Empress Dowager Qian, the emperor has never listened to her much, and when her words are dispensable, her persuasion will not be taken to heart. ”

Hearing the words sporadically, he knew that Jian Huaizhen's words were all truths, so he didn't say more.

Jian Huaizhen packed up some things and said to Zero: "Scattered, let's go, let's go out of the palace." ”

Scattered "oh", and said in surprise: "The eldest princess, where are we going now?" ”

"Huai Ming Yuan." Jian Huaizhen said briefly but forcefully.

After hearing this, he immediately went to prepare, went out with Jian Huaizhen, and went to Huaiming Garden.

She knew that Jian Huaizhen was going to Huaiming Garden, and she must have discussed the emperor's decision with Jiang Shaoheng and others.

The so-called one person is short, two people are long, they get together to discuss, they must be able to discuss a result, and Jian Huaizhen will not be angry and depressed about this matter at that time.

Thinking of this, she also felt a little happy in her heart, and all the gloom was swept away.

Scattered followed Jian Huaizhen out of Wan'an Palace, out of the Forbidden City, all the way to Huaiming Garden.

Jiang Shaoheng was overjoyed when he suddenly saw Jian Huaizhen coming to Huaiming Garden, and hurriedly went out to welcome her in.

He saw that Jian Huaizhen's face was worried, as if there was something important, so he asked, "Princess, what happened to make you so annoyed." ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Jiang, you really have good eyesight." No matter what I'm thinking, I can't hide it from your eyes. ”

Jiang Shaoheng nodded knowingly and said, "If something happens to you and you can hide it from my eyes, then am I still your big brother Jiang?" ”

While the two of them were talking, Fang Xiao, Ji Qihan and others all walked out together.

It turned out that Jian Wenying and Princess Luoxue lived in the Shangshu Mansion since they returned to the Shangshu Mansion, and the rest of the people still lived in this Huaiming Garden.

Fang Yu and the others were also very happy to see Jian Huaizhen.

Then, a small servant served tea.

Jiang Shaoheng continued to ask: "Princess, if you have anything to say, let's hear about it, and see if you can think of a solution." ”

Ji Kaihan smiled on the side: "It turns out that the princess has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!" ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly and said, "This matter is a little annoying to say, and it's a long story, so I'll briefly tell you about it." It was since Wan Zhen'er entered the palace that the palace was restless, and now she has forced Queen Wu to death, and the emperor has always been worried about Queen Wu's death. At this time, the Yellow River flood has been more than a month, for a long time, there are a large number of victims waiting to be fed, but the emperor is unwilling to use the silver for the Yellow River disaster relief, to take out 10 million taels of silver, to the top of the East Mountain to build a fairy shrine for Queen Wu. ”

As soon as Jian Huaizhen's words fell, someone said, "Eldest princess, is there a mistake?" As far as I can see, Wan Zhen'er is not such a person. ”

The person who spoke was none other than Yu Mian.

It turned out that Tang Jingran lived in Huaiming Garden these days, and Yu Mian often came and went.

After Yu Mian got along with Tang Jingran, he liked her boldness and enthusiasm very much, she was simple, good at martial arts, chivalrous and soft-hearted, so she often looked at Huai Mingyuan intentionally or unintentionally.

Tang was originally a young man, and there were not many young people in this Huaiming Garden, so she was also happy to make friends with Yu Mian.

What's more, Yu Mian is literate and knowledgeable, and can often tell her about things that she has never heard before.

The two were talking, but they heard Jian Huaizhen coming, so they walked in together.

As soon as he walked in, Yu Mian heard Jian Huaizhen saying that Wan Zhen'er was making waves in the palace.

Jian Huaizhen smiled helplessly and said: "Even I don't know about this matter, this Wan Zhen'er looks gentle and good, but I didn't expect that she is a scheming and vicious woman in the mainland." ”

As she spoke, she told everyone what Wan Zhen'er had done in the palace these days.

After finishing speaking, she said slowly: "Although there is no evidence of these things until now, people with a discerning eye can see at a glance, aren't all these things obvious?" ”

"The princess is very right. If this matter is said not to be done by Wan Zhen'er, no one will believe it. I didn't expect that Wan Zhen'er looked so gentle on weekdays, but I didn't expect it to be such a person. Fang Yu said coldly on the side.

Fang Yu has always been vicious and hateful, so it's no wonder that he was angry about Wan Zhen'er's affairs.

Jian Huaizhen sighed and said, "Now there is no need to talk about Wan Zhen'er's affairs, since the death of Empress Wu, she has given birth to a lot. Now I have something else in my mind that is difficult to solve. ”

Jiang Shaoheng's eyes were like torches, and he immediately said, "Are you worried about the flooding of the Yellow River?" ”

Jian Huaizhen bowed his head slightly and said, "That's right." Now there are a large number of residents waiting for rescue, but the emperor still allocated 10 million taels of silver to build the Empress Wu Immortal Temple on the top of Dongtai Mountain, and where is there any silver to relieve the victims of the Yellow River. Are we going to watch tens of thousands of victims starve to death like this? ”

Jian Huaizhen's words pressed on everyone's hearts like Mount Tai, they are all chivalrous and soft-hearted people, and they are also concerned about the safety of the people in the world.

What's more, they have been with Jian Huaizhen for a long time, and they have also been on the battlefield with Jian Huaizhen, fighting for the country together, and they have no pity for the common people in the world.

Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, Fang Yu said angrily: "Why is the emperor so mediocre? ”
