The coup d'état launched by Concubine Lu has been annihilated by now, which must have been a great reversal, but from another point of view, it also promoted a reshuffle of court officials. Those who were hidden at the bottom of the trivial things all came to the fore in this incident, and were uprooted by Ah Ping, so the bond of relatives was completely broken.

But also because of the reshuffle of officials, the official affairs became more and more complicated, and every day Ah Ping came back from the next court, the eunuchs came back with a lot of twists and turns. On the third day, no one returned to the dormitory, but someone sent for me to go to the imperial study.

I asked Xiaoxiao to take his ginseng soup with him to the imperial study, and when I entered the door, I saw him lying on the soft floor and pretending to sleep, and there were two large stacks of folds on the table. When I walked over and saw that he didn't open his eyes to see me, his eyebrows were frowning together, and he couldn't help but put down the ginseng soup to pinch his eyebrows, and immediately saw his brows stretched. After a few pinchs for him, he went back to pinch his shoulder and asked softly, "Tired?" He answered and continued to close his eyes, and I suggested that he get up and drink the ginseng soup before going to sleep.

Suddenly, my black eyes opened, and I didn't speak, and I was inexplicably raised my eyebrows and asked, "What do you see me doing?" Let you get up and drink the ginseng soup. Then he turned his gaze to the table, and obediently got up and took the bowl, but he did not rush to his mouth, but tapped his fingers on the table regularly thoughtfully.

I don't know what he's thinking again, it's best to drink the ginseng soup hot, and it won't have that effect when it's cold. So I urged him again: "You should drink the ginseng soup first and then think about things." ”

Suddenly, he called me, "Daughter-in-law." ”

I was stunned, he hadn't used this title in a while. There was no special agreement, but naturally there was no quarrel between the two, so he called me by this nickname, which was more cordial and down-to-earth than calling my name.

I saw him push the fold on the table in front of me, "You are responsible for this." ”

I didn't understand what he meant, so I asked in surprise: "Do you want me to read it to you?" "It doesn't matter if he's tired of asking me like this, but isn't it the law of the Ming Dynasty that the harem is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the court?

He shook his head in the sight, "It's not to read to me, you leave it to you to review the recital, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

"I approve the cantata?" I couldn't help but ask in a loud voice, and he took it for granted to respond: "Is there any problem?" I heard Xiao Qi say that the first three days of my coma were sent to the court as usual, and none of the ministers questioned it, so it can be seen that your views on political affairs are consistent with mine. The key is that if you learn from my handwriting so similar, it can be fake, and even Mrs. Fang's old pedant has been deceived by you. ”

His heart moved, and he already knew that I was copying his handwriting. He said that Fang Xiaoru was deceived by me, because he didn't see the annotations I made on those folds that I imitated his handwriting, or whether I had copied a copy of his handwriting for Fang Xiaoru to see, so as to gain the trust of this old minister, and then led the courtiers to contend with the Lu family.

But doesn't ...... say that the harem is not allowed to participate in politics? You're still asking me to annotate these folds? ”

But he said indifferently: "What kind of politics are you participating in, you are here to relieve my worries." Hurry up and help me see it, and if you encounter something that you can't handle, throw it to me. "It's very speechless, and when I first opened my mouth, I was a little bit of a please, but now it's just a tone of assumption.

There are two tables, two people sit separately, the folds are piled up in the middle, and the batch is placed at hand.

An hour later, I looked up and saw the man across from me staring at me with his chin propped up, and his stack of folds had already been reviewed. I said angrily: "Since it's approved, won't you take my side for approval?" ”

"Don't worry, daughter-in-law, I found that you are so efficient. Usually I have to annotate these excerpts until the evening, and you can see that the efficiency doubles when you come. He looked at me with a smile and said.

I put the pen down and pushed the rest of the money in front of me to him, "Anyway, it's not much, it's all up to you." ”

He glanced at the folds scattered on the table, and suddenly said, "Your serious appearance is very charming." "I was stunned for a moment, and then I felt a little burned on my face, I can be regarded as an old husband and wife, and I still come to this set of fan soup?

"You just praised me to heaven, and the rest is under your control."

He laughed, "I'm not praising you, I've been looking at you just now, and I can't take my eyes off you when I find your focused." ”

I got up and left, leaving a sentence: "I'm going back to the palace to find Yuan'er." ”

Anyway, he drank the soup, and there wasn't much left, so I didn't have to worry about it. Another reason for leaving is that there are many twists and turns about the outer vassal kings just now, the first to be removed is the king of Zhou, originally only the removal of the domain, but the son of the king of Zhou actually sued his father for rebellion, and now there is a minister to ask Ah Ping to decide this matter.

Later, the acting kings and the kings of Qi who were removed from the feudal domain also had some changes, but they were not accused of rebellion like the king of Zhou.

Although I have never seen King Zhou, he is not a stranger. When the Northern Yuan army had tried to use the king of Zhou in Kaifeng as the goal to disperse our military strength, Zhu Di planned to pretend to lead the elite soldiers to reinforcements, and our remaining army was also ambushed by the Northern Yuan army, and Ah Ping and I almost lost our lives in the forest. Later, it was Zhu Di's miraculous return that saved us, and also broke the strategy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and pursued the victory.

Later, I asked Ah Ping bluntly about this matter, and he did not hide it, and he had already sent Li Jinglong to pass through Kaifeng in the name of Beibian, and make every effort to arrest the Zhou Wang family and escort them back to the capital to listen to the Hou for disposal. I asked him what arrangements he would make for the king of Zhou, and he glanced at me at the time and said lightly: The crime of treason should be executed, and remembering that he was my uncle, he was deposed as a concubine and moved to Menghua, Yunnan.

This is the first king to be deposed, at first I didn't understand why so many vassal kings were the first to be deposed this week, but then I accidentally saw a book of Zhu's family tree, and I understood the intention of Concubine Lu's decision.

At the beginning, Zhu Di told me the secret of his life experience, and his biological mother was not Queen Ma, but the same brother as King Zhou. Concubine Lu was afraid of the power of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and the first thing was to cut off the arm of the king of Zhou first, so as not to make the two brothers in one go. It is no wonder that when Zhu Di heard that the Northern Yuan army was going to attack the king of Zhou in Kaifeng, he immediately led troops to reinforce and rescue him overnight.

Now that the king of Zhou has been abolished, I don't know what Zhu Di, who is far away in Beiping, thinks? And Zhu Gaoxu should have returned to Beiping.

It's not that I haven't considered proposing to Ah Ping to withdraw the order issued by Concubine Lu to withdraw the feudal domain, but the edicts have been issued, and even if they are withdrawn, they have already left hidden dangers in the hearts of the kings. In the future, it is unknown whether it will be decided or then moved in order to consolidate power, and I am afraid that there will be even more unstable factors at that time. Presumably, including Zhu Di, they have already made a decision at this time.

The arrow has been wound, and it can't be recovered, so it can only move forward.

At the beginning, I always thought that I could predict the future first, and I naively thought that I could change history, but I didn't know that I was just a grain of sand in the cross-stream of history, and I couldn't play a role. This massive step will converge in every possible way, moving in that predetermined direction.

I often raise my head and ask the sky, what else can I do?

Since then, things have been going in a direction that seems to have no track but is actually destined by history, and no matter how much I try to reverse the situation, it will be in vain.

The king of Zhou was followed by the king of Qi, who was similar to the king of Zhou, who was unwilling after being removed from the domain, and wanted to rebel and be suppressed; In the future, Wang Gui was deposed, and he was locked up in Datong; Min Wang Lu was sent to Zhangzhou. Among them, there is a Xiangwang cypress sealed in Jingzhou, which impresses me the most. This man is an all-round talent in humanities and martial arts, believes in Taoism, and gives himself the name of "Purple Xuzi", likes to wander around the resort, and also lives a leisurely life but was accused of rebellion, when Ah Ping received this fold frowned.

I asked the reason, saying that this uncle Wang has always had no dispute about power, and when Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to crown him king, he repeatedly shirked it, and he really wanted to travel to the people to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes. It stands to reason that a person with this kind of heart will not rebel because of the withdrawal of the domain, so he sent an envoy to inquire, but he didn't think that the king of Xiang was afraid that he would be executed because he couldn't understand himself, so he burned the palace to death!

When the last fold was presented, Ah Ping tossed and turned all night without sleeping. He told me that he didn't expect it to turn out like this, and this King of Xiang still hugged him when he was a child.

As Chinese New Year's Eve approaches, another year will pass. Early this morning, the sky was hazy with snowflakes, and the outside of the house was already white, and it looked like it had snowed all night last night. This kind of climate is probably the happiest for Yuan'er, he wore a white sable coat and ran in the courtyard, and had a snowball fight with Xin'er and Changning, and his little face was red from the cold and he didn't know it.

It's rare that there hasn't been much going on in the court these days, and Ah Ping has free time and stands in the courtyard watching them fight there.

I walked out of the inner hall and stood side by side with him, very speechless at Xiao Yuan'er's cunning, and suddenly heard Ah Ping next to me ask softly: "Do you think this kid has the potential to be a husband?" ”

Surprised to roll his eyes, I haven't heard him call himself a "husband" since marrying him, and what is the potential of what he said?

He knew that I was ignorant, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly and said: "I learned to coax people when I was young, and that little girl was afraid that she would be deceived by him in the future." He said this because Xin'er accidentally tripped just now, and Yuan'er ran over and didn't rush to pull people, but first stomped a few feet on the small pebble on the ground, muttering something in his mouth, and then squatted down and asked Xin'er seriously if it hurt. When Aunt Yun stepped forward to help Xin'er up, I saw a wicked smile on the corner of the kid's mouth.

The reason is that their snowball fight is divided into two sides, he is in the same group as Xiao, Changning is in the same group as Xin'er, and the small pebble that tripped over Xin'er is what he quietly kicked over. Needless to say, because of Xin'er's wrestling, their side lost this match.

angrily scolded the boy's father: "Yes, it's too similar to you, and you will be full of nonsense to coax people." ”

However, someone who has always been cheeky replied in a high-sounding manner: "Who said that I would only talk nonsense and coax people?" I've done more than I said, and then I'll coax you in this life, and I don't like to lie to others. ”

Yes, it is a deception to me, and a calculation to others.
