Because Mingzhu was a direct participant in the roster incident, Yu Wenchu took her to meet Cui Yuma with him. The three of them didn't eat, so Mingzhu asked people to set up a table under the elm tree in the courtyard and warmly invited Cui Yuma to sit down and eat with them.

Cui Juma refused, so she kept persuading him, and even asked Wei Tiande to drag him over and sit down, and then arrange the dishes and chopsticks for him with her own hands, and said softly: "It's just a common thing, uncle, don't be too nervous, it's not that I haven't eaten with our Royal Highness before." No matter how much the eldest princess makes trouble, you are always our uncle, and this can't be changed. ”

She felt that for people like Cui Juma who were sensible and willing to stand on their side, they should cherish and love him, let him feel the warmth of spring, and make him feel at ease, so as not to chill people's hearts. So she didn't care about Yu Wenchu's thoughts and face, and arranged it by herself.

She noticed that Yu Wenchu had glanced at her several times, but he still gently and amiably served Cui Yuma a dish, and said with a smile: "Zhuzhu is right, my uncle has been busy for a day and a night, and he must be hungry." Let's eat first and fill our stomachs before we have the energy to deal with things, right? ”

Cui Juma burst into tears, and even confessed, Yu Wenchu asked someone to hand him a hot handkerchief, and when Cui Juma finally stabilized his mood, the food was cold.

Mingzhu made people change to fresh hot meals and warmly entertained them with a smiling face, but she was the only one of the three who ate the most, Yu Wenchu just used half a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup and put the chopsticks, and Cui Juma only ate two mouthfuls of rice and couldn't eat anymore.

Yu Wenchu sighed: "Just say what my uncle wants, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." ”

Cui Juma cried and kowtowed to him: "The little beast in the family can't tell the difference, made a big mistake, and caused a lot of trouble to His Highness and the country, I know that I don't have the face to speak, but the father has never been able to watch his son die, I only have such a son, I don't dare to say anything else, I just ask His Highness to spare his life." ”

Yu Wenchu motioned to Wei Tiande to help Cui Yuma up: "Many important ministers have died this time, and there are too many people involved, so it is impossible to let him retreat." As for how to punish it, it depends on the meaning of the eldest princess. ”

Like Mingzhu, he did not call the eldest princess Longsheng an aunt, which in itself hinted at the inevitable fate of the eldest princess. Cui Yuma wiped a handful of tears: "Your Highness just commands, I'll go and talk to her." ”

Yu Wenchu looked into the distance and said lightly: "It's not difficult to say, as long as she is willing to stand up and admit in public that she has a secret relationship with the King of Zhongshan, and this time she manipulated the matter, then it's okay." ”

Is it to make the eldest princess bear all the charges? Just let the Queen Mother go in vain? Mingzhu was a little puzzled, and then understood that the enemy is current, and the people's hearts are unstable, if the empress dowager spreads such a scandal again, the people's hearts will be scattered, and the next battle will be lost.

The best way is, of course, for the eldest princess to bear all the charges, after all, she is the sister of the king of Zhongshan, and she had a bad reputation in the past, and she has done something to escape, and now there is nothing more such a crime.

Cui Yuma also thought of it, and looked at Yu Wenchu with a little more admiration, the Empress Dowager framed him so disregarding the overall situation, he could still think about the country and the overall situation, and was willing to endure this breath, let the Empress Dowager go, and try his best to find the most beneficial way for the country and the people. This is the style and pattern that a generation of Ming Jun should have.

"I'm going to talk to her." Once Cui Juma got the letter, he couldn't wait any longer, quickly got up to say goodbye, took two steps and remembered his little son, and couldn't help but hesitate: "My little brute ......"

Yu Wenchu said: "I will have someone send him to the Imperial Prison, and at the same time, I will try my best to ensure his safety." This is the law of the land, and there is no room for accommodation. ”

If the eldest princess of Longsheng dies and does not look back, then Cui Sanye will inevitably be pushed out of this pot on her back, and the eldest princess of Longsheng will not escape death after all. Cui Fuma silently retreated.

Mingzhu looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh a little: "No wonder people say that if you really have a grudge with someone and can't take revenge, then raise a daughter to harm his family." The first emperor actually hated the Cui family, right? ”

It was a joke, but Yu Wenchu replied to her very seriously: "The Cui family is a wealthy family for many generations, and there are many talents in the clan, and the first emperor really doesn't like them very much, so he forcibly divided them into two branches, one is the Qingxi Cui clan where the mother-in-law is located, and the other is the Duliang Cui clan where Cui Yuma is located." The emperor's grandfather married Longsheng into the Cui family, looking at it as a favor and wooing, but in fact, it was also suppression, Cui Weiwei is the eldest son of the Cui family of this generation, young and talented, marrying a princess to him, so that he can't be a big official for the rest of his life, and it is best to be a wife and be strict. ”

This is half true and half false, but Mingzhu smiled when he heard it: "If Longsheng dies and doesn't look back, does His Highness really want to take Cui San's life?" ”

Yu Wenchu said coldly: "He killed himself, even his own mother can't care about his life, can he blame others for not showing mercy to his subordinates?" Probably because he felt that his tone was too blunt, he was very majestic to his subordinates, but not suitable for his wife, so he changed his tone again and said softly: "Don't you think you are too idle?" I'll leave this matter to you. Longsheng will definitely resist to the end, Cui Weiwei will come back to intercede, I will not be there at that time, you will arrange this matter, in short, you can do what you want, as long as you remember that these two people are people who are not sorry to die. Even if I want to save Cui San's life, it's just for Cui Wei's face. ”

She hasn't really participated in government affairs yet, what if it fails? Mingzhu subconsciously wanted to push, but endured the words again: "I will definitely try my best to do it." ”

Yu Wenchu encouraged her: "You will definitely be able to do it." You can arrange the things in Yinghui Hall by yourself, choose a group of people to come in, and slowly pick a few good ones. As for Su Lan, don't worry, I will do my best to keep her as long as possible. ”

All the words did not make Mingzhu more happy than the last sentence, she saluted Yuwenchu and thanked her, Yuwenchu naturally did not allow her to thank her: "We are husband and wife, we don't have to be like this." ”

Mingzhu whispered: "Although they are husband and wife, they are also monarchs and ministers, Your Royal Highness is becoming more and more majestic, I am afraid that I will lose your face if I don't do well." Fu Cong specially warned her that Yuwen Chu would go higher and higher, and she had to know where her position was, so that she would not lose herself. It seems that this is the road that all loving emperor couples will take in the end, the distance is getting farther and farther away, one person is high, one person is looking up on the side, just thinking of the past time, it is inevitable that people are very melancholy.

Yu Wenchu looked at Mingzhu's half-drooping eyelashes, he didn't say anything for a long time, Mingzhu was leaving, he took her hand and said softly: "Zhuzhu, this is not the life I want, I want you to love me, but not to admire me." I want you to trust me, not to guard against me, I don't want you to fall asleep and frown, feeling that only you can protect your children and protect yourself. When I knew that I could marry you, I was ecstatic, and secretly made up my mind that I must make you happier and happier than other women in this life, but in fact it is not enough, life is not as simple as I thought, I have been too busy and negligent to treat you in the past few years. I'm sorry. ”

Mingzhu burst into tears instantly, she wanted to say a few words to him, such as saying that he had treated her well enough, that she was too greedy, ignorant and incompetent, but she couldn't say it, she cried very directly: "I know you are very busy and tired, but can you give our mother a few free time?" If you don't say something that can be solved by saying a few more words, will you be tired to death? ”
