Zhu Jianshen continued to say slowly: "Father, you also know that the person most appreciated by the emperor's aunt and grandmother in her life is Yu Qian. If she knew what happened to Yu Qian's son Yu Mian, with her temper, she would definitely not break with her father. Even if her old man doesn't pursue it, I'm afraid that the reckless people in the rivers and lakes will also do something rebellious. The son also asked his father to listen to the persuasion of the son and forgive Yu Mian for the crime of returning to Beijing without permission. ”

Zhu Jianshen is very smart and clever, and he deliberately said that Long Yi Nan'an gave Yu Mian the hat of "collaborating with the enemy and treason" as returning to Beijing without permission. The punishment for the difference between the two sins is not heaven and earth. In this way, the heinous felony came out of Zhu Jianshen's mouth, but it seemed that it was just a minor crime that escaped from prison without permission.

Rao is like this, Zhu Qizhen still has his own plans in his heart. The so-called small punishment and big commandment, if the crown is not punished, what is his face? Where is the prestige?

Yes, he glanced at Yu Mian, who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "What Shen'er said is reasonable, but it is just an inference. It is still difficult to determine whether Yu Mian had fornication with Warat. After all, the dragon commander searched for Warat's letters on him. If he is not punished, the prestige of the royal family will be lost. ”

Zhu Jianshen didn't know Zhu Qizhen's intentions, he pondered for a moment and said: "My father has always been thoughtful in doing things. It's just that the sons and daughters implore their father and the emperor to think twice. What kind of personality is the emperor's aunt and grandmother? What happens in the palace, which one can hide it from her old man's eyes? If this matter had reached her ears, I am afraid she would not have given up so well. When my father returned to Shuntianfu from Nanjing, fortunately there was a group of people from the rivers and lakes led by the emperor's aunt and grandmother to protect him. If Yu Mian is killed this time, it will cause a riot among the Jianghu people. And if the emperor's aunt and grandmother stand by and watch, I am afraid that those Jianghu people will really enter the palace. ”

Zhu Jianshen's words were extremely sincere, and he lowered his voice again, lest it reach the ears of others and erase Zhu Qizhen's face. He persuaded in a low voice: "Although, the masters in the palace are like clouds, and they are not afraid of those people. I'm afraid that those people are scheming, and I don't know what tricks they will come up with to plot against my father and sons. The so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent. Yu Mian is just a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, what can he do alone? If his father lets him go, and even treats him well, he will win the appreciation of the people all over the world and win the hearts of the people, saying that his father is kind-hearted and a good emperor. ”

Zhu Jianshen's words, although half of them were for saving Yu Mian, the other half was indeed for Zhu Qizhen's plan, and in Zhu Qizhen's ears, he felt very interesting.

Zhu Qizhen nodded slowly and said, "What Shen'er said is not unreasonable. Although Yu Mian's father is the dignified Yu Qian, Yu Mian is just a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken. The so-called useless is a scholar, and I am not afraid that he can do anything great as a scholar. In that case, according to what you say, I will not pursue the crown of the crown. ”

Zhu Jianshen bowed and said, "Father is wise." ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at Long Yinan and said in a deep voice: "Long Qing's family, I have decided not to pursue this matter of Yu Mian today, so let's stop here." As for Yu Mian's return to Beijing, don't make a big deal about it. ”

"Father!" Zhu Jian glanced at Zhu Qizhen deeply, and said loudly: "Of course, the matter of Yu Mian's return to Beijing must be publicized. Not only to proclaim, but to hype! The son begged his father to grant Yu Mian the official title of deputy thousand households from Wupin, allow Yu Mian to live in the capital, and allow him to visit his mother and sister in Shanxi. After the emperor treats his loyal ministers well, the people of the world will definitely appreciate his kindness. ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't insist anymore, and said to Zhu Jianshen with a pleasant face: "Since Shen'er said so, everything will be done according to your wishes." This world will be handed over to you sooner or later, and you have to take care of it carefully. I am also tired, you can accompany me back to the palace to rest. ”

"Yes." Zhu Jianshen responded: "Erchen will accompany his father back to the palace." As he spoke, he gave Yu Mian a look.

Yu Mian said loudly: "Ministers are grateful to the crown, long live the emperor, long live long live." ”

*******

The news of Yu Mian's return to Beijing really spread very quickly. Jian Huaizhen soon got the news. When Yu Mian walked out of the main hall, he was intercepted by a palace maid.

The little palace maid was eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a grass-green ruyi pattern piping lapel one-piece dress, with a bun on her head, wearing a jasper plum blossom and proud snow hairpin, and her eyebrows and eyes were very elegant and beautiful. She stepped forward and said softly: "May I ask your Excellency, but is it the son of Yu Qian Yu Ge Lao?" ”

Yu Mian thought about it, but he couldn't remember who the woman was, so he had to answer dryly and said, "Kid Yu Mian." I don't know who the girl is? What do you have to say? ”

The palace maid raised her eyebrows and smiled, with two deep dimples on the corners of her mouth, and said, "My name is Ruoyan, and I am the palace maid who serves by the side of the eldest princess." When the eldest princess heard that her son had returned to Beijing from Shanhaiguan, she was very concerned. Specially sent slaves and maids to the main hall to spy on the situation. The eldest princess specially instructed the slave maid to wait for the emperor to leave, and then ask the prince to sit in Wan'an Palace. ”

Yu Mian's heart suddenly brightened. It turned out that the person who invited him was none other than the eldest princess Jian Huaizhen, who was good friends with her father. At that moment, he said: "The tired girl leads the way." ”

So, Ruo Yan led the way in front, Yu Mian followed closely behind, and the two of them walked towards Wan'an Palace.

Wan'an Palace was originally the residence of Jian Huaizhen's biological mother, the imperial concubine Lian Siyao. In the past years in Nanjing City, after Lian Siyao's death, Wan'an Palace has been vacant. Later, Emperor Yongle moved the capital to Beijing, and specially ordered the six departments to build the Wan'an Palace, and built a brilliant glazed garden in the Wan'an Palace to pay tribute to Lian Siyao. It's a pity that a fire later burned down the magnificent and brilliant glass garden. Wan'an Palace became more and more depressed.

After Jian Huaizhen returned from Jiangnan, he returned to the palace. Zhu Qizhen chose a palace with her as his dormitory. Jian Huaizhen missed his deceased mother, so he deliberately chose Wan'an Palace. It's a pity that Wan'an Palace was abandoned at that time, so Zhu Qizhen asked Jian Huaizhen to temporarily live in the Changchun * Palace where Wang Guifei lived in the past, and ordered craftsmen to renovate Wan'an Palace. Later, after the Wan'an Palace was repaired, Jian Huaizhen moved from the Changchun * Palace.

Yu Mian naturally didn't know about these past things. Along the way, he just felt that the furnishings of Wan'an Palace were quite different from other places. Wan'an Palace is full of all kinds of flowers and plants, but they are all common, and there are no exotic flowers. The buildings in the palace are also built with ordinary blue bricks and red tiles, which are very different from the carved railings and jade masonry and carved beams and painted buildings on the side.

Walking to the door of the main hall of Wan'an Palace, Ruoyan smiled like a flower, and said: "Son, please wait for a while, the slave maid is to repay the eldest princess." ”

"Thank you, girl." Yu Mian bowed deeply.

Ruo Yan walked into the hall, and after a while, she had already walked out of the new place, and smiled at the crown: "The eldest princess is invited, and the prince is invited." Yu Mian followed Ruoyan into the palace.

Jian Huaizhen sat on the Huanghuali carved rattan chair, which was quietly equal to the arrival of the crown. She was dressed in a plain dark vine crepe gown, with a high Wangxian bun on her head, and her eyebrows showed elegance and demureness. She is also a little old, but she doesn't look half old. The years passed in a hurry, and nothing was taken away from her.

"Bow to the crown and see the eldest princess." When Yu Qian died, Yu Mian had seen Jian Huaizhen once, and he still remembered her appearance clearly.

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly: "Hurry up." No need to be polite. Ruoyan, you take a chair and teach Yu Mian to sit down. Ruo Yan obeyed the order, and after a while, she took a chair and came over.

Jian Huaizhen's eyebrows were calm, her eyes revealed a little vicissitudes, and she asked softly: "Yu Mian, have you been alone in Shanhaiguan all these years, are you doing well?" ”

Yu Mian was asked by her, and she had mixed feelings in her heart, and said strongly: "Thank you princess for your concern." It's okay......" As he spoke, his heart was already a little choked. In this world, he only has two relatives, his mother and sister, but they are far away in Shanxi. Now that she saw Jian Huaizhen and was asked softly by her, Yu Mian felt as if she had seen a relative, and she was very emotional.

Jian Huaizhen's expression was quite lonely, she seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be talking to Yu Mian, and said, "In the end, our Zhu family is sorry for you." At that time, Yu Qian was sincere to the elder of the pavilion, and the emperor listened to the slander and mistakenly executed him. Bai Qingqing, the good sister of this palace, also went with your father. Every time Hongu thinks about it, he feels like a knife. ”

"Yes......" Yu Mian also sighed a little for a while, and said: "The kid secretly returned to the palace this time, also because he had not worshiped his deceased father for many years. In the past six years, I have been thinking about my parents and sister all the time. I haven't been back to Beijing for six years, and I don't know what my father's grave has become barren. ”

A slightly older palace man standing next to Jian Huaizhen persuaded him: "Princess, didn't the imperial doctor instruct you?" Your eyes are not good and you can't shed tears. Little boy, don't make the princess sad. Let's talk about something interesting. "This palace person's name is Zero, and he was rescued by Jian Huaizhen from the pile of dead. She was loyal to Jane.

Jian Huaizhen waved his hand and said, "That's fine." Yu Mian, I heard that the emperor has already made you a deputy thousand households from the fifth grade, but is there such a thing? ”

Yu Mian never thought that what had just happened, but Jian Huaizhen knew it immediately. In this way, even if the emperor deliberately wanted to execute herself, she would probably know it immediately. Everyone said that this eldest princess was amazing, and it was really good. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little more respectful and awe-inspiring in his heart, and said respectfully: "There is such a thing. Yu Mian will definitely not disappoint the emperor's expectations, Jian Huaizhen was quite appreciative, and said slowly: "You can think so, you are a good boy." There are not many people I admire in my life, but your father Yu Qian is one. In the past, he worked hard for the country and did his best for the court, and he was a rare loyal and good general. Now, you can serve the imperial court, and this palace feels very comforted. "I will definitely be a person who stands up to the sky like my father." He spoke with a bold and sonorous voice.
