"Is Lord Shen willing to wade into the quagmire of competing for the throne?" Mei Guifei is still not sure.

Wen Jin can understand her feelings, it is too much care, only to suffer from gains and losses, Shen Mingzhao brothers, will never look at Dong Jincai's spring breeze and bring disaster to the country and the people: "I will let Qian Qian go to Liangzhong today." When the child came back, he hadn't visited the eldest uncle yet. ”

Mei Guifei was very strange: "Why didn't you go?" ”

"Hey, in order to avoid the political affairs of the capital, Lord Shen returned to his hometown, Qian Qian just came back, I was reluctant to let him run all the way to the dust, so I only visited the second uncle of Lord Shen, as for his third uncle, his health is not good, I don't dare to let him worry too much, lest there be a three long and two short, the Prince of Nanhai should be sad when he comes back, he is the closest to the third uncle."

If you can get the help of the Shen family brothers, the throne is for the second prince, it is a matter of searching for things, Mei Guifei looked at Wen Jin gratefully: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"Your business is my business."

Wen Jin returned home, Jin Jin also came, he and Qian Qian said yes, one went to Liangzhong Province, and the other went to Shen Mingyun: "The second uncle is straightforward, and he will definitely refuse to meddle in this matter, but he should be let know about this matter, I think, he will not help openly, and he must agree secretly." ”

Wen Jin thought for a while: "It's best to let the second prince visit the eldest uncle or the second uncle, let them teach him how to deal with national affairs, sharpen the edges and corners of the second prince, and let him be more easy-going." ”

"That's what Mother said."

Emperor Yongchang was trapped in the pain of losing his eldest son, and the ministers did not dare to mention the topic of re-establishing the crown prince. Wen Jin saw the situation clearly, so he sent Qian Qian on the road to find Shen Mingzhao.

Mei Guifei was sick, the second prince came to the palace to visit, the mother and son were in deep love, no one suspected anything, Mei Guifei said her plan to let him compete for the crown prince.

"Lin'er, it stands to reason that when the prince dies, it's time to talk about you, but people's hearts are sinister, and now the mother concubine still can't believe that your eldest brother will die because of a handful of clowns who jump off the beam, since they dare to take the first step, they will inevitably continue to walk, and then, suppressing you, pouring dirty water on you, and ruining your reputation These things will follow, if you are still like before, hate others for not understanding you, don't understand your mind, and be lonely and self-admiring, and discord with the group, then you just fell into the tricks of thieves."

The second prince sat on the brocade pier, did not speak, lowered his head and didn't know what to think.

Mei Guifei thought that her son was still tired of listening to her nagging, and her tears couldn't help but stay: "Lin'er, your brother is gone, Jin'er is still young, and the lives of our mother's children are pinched in your hands, no matter how difficult it is, the mother will support you and help you, but you have to cheer up, like your brother, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, you must go down with your head held high, meet victory, and meet a bright future." ”

The second prince, Qian Haolin, slowly stretched out her hand and shook Mei Guifei's hand: "Mother, they all say that I am too proud, to be honest, I look at the people around me, and I think they are stupid, you say, can I be an emperor like this?" In my eyes, the ministers are stupid, what should I do if I look down on them and look down on them?

Concubine Mei Guifei breathed a sigh of relief, as long as her son didn't refuse, she could say anything, she thought about it and said to the second prince: "Lin'er, everyone is drunk and I am sober." That taste is indeed a little uncomfortable, no wonder you are lonely and self-admiring, you have no friends, but in this way, you are not easy to make mistakes, those ministers, who dares to deceive you? Who would dare to make a small gesture under your eyelids? But the country is passed down from the ancestors, you have to build it better, let it be passed on from generation to generation, you can't take your own feelings too seriously, as long as the minister has a heart and has a little ability, it is a talent that can be created, you have to tolerate them, urge them to do a good job in the affairs of the court, it doesn't matter if they are stupid, as long as the intention is good, the result is good. ”

Qian Haolin nodded and hooked the corners of her mouth: "Don't worry, concubine, I will do a good job, after a while, I will go to pay tribute to my eldest brother and let him rest assured, with me, you and Jin'er's brother and Dan'er's sister will never be wronged." ”

"Good boy, the hope of the mother concubine in the future is counting on you." Mei Guifei thought of her eldest son, looked at her second son, sad and relieved, and for a while her heart was full of mixed feelings, and tears fell down.

Qian Haolin clenched her fists: "Mother concubine, don't cry, the child will work hard." ”

Mei Guifei nodded: "Mother believes it, mother believes it!" But the tears flowed even harder.

More than a month has passed since the death of the prince, and Qian Jun did not write a letter to his family, Wen Jin was very strange why he ignored the matter of the prince, but it turned out that he was afraid that it would not be safe to write a letter, and when Qian Qian came back from Liangzhong, Chen Xin, a person sent by Qian Jun, also arrived, and his arrangement coincided with Wen Jin's thoughts.

"The prince has already given the emperor a secret fold, and asked him to issue an order to Lord Shen, and Lord Shen will serve as the current affairs master of several princes."

Wen Jin nodded, this is a hint that the emperor is preparing a new prince, Emperor Yongchang is now confused at every turn, and sometimes he is very shrewd, Wen Jin hopes that when Qian Jun's secret fold arrives in Beijing, Emperor Yongchang's mind is sober.

"Don't worry, princess, the prince asked me to talk, he naturally has a way to make the emperor listen, please relax."

"Okay, I don't worry, you bring a message to the prince, everything is fine at home, if Master Shen comes to Beijing, it will be even better, and the second prince is very smart, even unexpectedly smart, if there is Master Shen to teach, it will definitely be a blockbuster and soar to the sky."

"Good! The lowly will tell the prince the original words. ”

Emperor Yongchang gradually recovered from the pain of losing his son, and the government entered a normal state. Wealthy families, these things are commonplace, and they usually don't attract everyone's attention, but this time, it actually spread among the courtiers, saying that the second prince is extravagant, and all the women in the family who are a little beautiful will not let go, and even the twelve-year-old little maid who has not grown up can be seen in her eyes, and Concubine Sun was jealous, so she forced the maid to death. When Wen Jin heard the news, he knew that someone had started to blow the demon wind, why did what happened in the second prince's mansion the night before spread all over the capital the next day? How can it be said that there is no one to make trouble? When Wen Jin heard this, she immediately arranged for her family to inquire about the news, and she still wanted to enter the palace to find Concubine Mei, but who knew that the second prince made a decisive move. It turned out that he liked to read, especially miscellaneous books, and even found the same place as the death of the little maid from the notes made by a servant in the past, and invited Zhang Dudu of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division to solve the case.
