Mingchen looked at it from a distance for a while, and then walked over with his doubts, seeing that there was no eunuch to pass it on, he had to report it to himself: "Weichen Mingchen is far away, I have seen His Highness...... I've seen the lady concubine. ”

Nie Xingchen saw him at this time, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Zhong Ze is here, going and returning, is there something important?" ”

Ming Chenyuan got up and didn't squint: "It's because I reported some important things to you, but I didn't find you in the holy study, so I dared to come to the imperial garden to disturb the car." After that, he glanced at Ming Danshu, a little perfunctory: "I've seen Concubine Shuniang." ”

The latter also greeted him with interest, and his words were rusty and polite. Ming Chenyuan felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, he just felt that Ming Danshu was in a very good mood today, and Nie Xingji seemed to be very happy?

Just when he was puzzled, he heard Nie Xingji say to Ming Danshu: "I'll talk to Zhong Ze, you go down first." ”

Ming Danshu smiled and bowed her head, and was about to bend her knees to retreat, but Ming Chenyuan's voice of stop sounded in her ears: "This matter has something to do with Concubine Shu, so it doesn't hurt for her to listen." ”

As soon as these words came out, Nie Xingji did not refuse, and Ming Danshu was even more eager to stay. Ming Chenyuan was afraid that he would hesitate if he waited any longer, so he immediately knelt down and said solemnly: "Your Highness, in recent years, there have been people with ill intentions who have spread rumors without authorization, saying that Weichen has a backbone in the back of his head, which will endanger your country. Wechen is troubled by this rumor, and I am afraid that you will be estranged from Wechen, every time I think of this, my heart is panicked, and I can't sleep at night......"

As soon as he said this, Nie Xingji had already waved his hand and smiled: "Zhong Ze is too worried, I have never taken it seriously. ”

However, Ming Chenyuan was very serious and insisted: "Even if you don't take it seriously, but the three of you become tigers, the world is ignorant, and you will naturally believe it after listening too much." If some pedantic ministers take the opportunity to make trouble, you must be in a dilemma, and it is not to deal with the micro-ministers, nor is it to deal with it. ”

"What? You don't believe me? Nie Xingji was still smiling, with an expression that he wouldn't take seriously.

Ming Chenyuan bowed his hand and said: "It's not that Weichen doesn't believe you, it's that Weichen doesn't want to trouble you." Weichen holds the military power in his hands and is a horse, if he does not speak out on this matter, he is afraid that the rumors will spread more and more...... In the end, it will destroy the morale of the army and cause panic inside and outside the government and the opposition. ”

Nie Xingchen understood, and asked with a smile: "It seems that you have a good idea to settle this matter?" Why don't you tell us about it? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Ming Chenyuan's face was gloomy, and he solemnly kowtowed and said: "The parents of the body and skin, the back of Weichen's head is a godsend from his parents, digging will die, and if he doesn't dig, rumors will spread." Moreover, if you deal with the ministers because of rumors, it will chill the loyal ministers; If it is not dealt with, it will shake the hearts of the people and the army......"

At this point, Ming Chenyuan was already slightly choked: "After thinking about it, Wei Chen really doesn't want to affect His Highness because of a piece of backbone, and he is not willing to die for this trumped-up crime...... Therefore, it has been decided to go to the surname of Ming and change the surname of the minister to show the loyalty of His Royal Highness! ”

When he heard the words "go to Ming's surname", Nie Xingji was already taken aback, and when he heard that Ming Chenyuan was going to change his surname to Chen, he actually felt a momentary auditory hallucination, and without thinking, he blurted out and asked: "Change your surname to Chen...... Which minister? ”

"A subject of a subject, a subject of a subject, a subject of the people!" Ming Chenyuan's tone was resolute and did not hesitate, and he kowtowed again: "From now on, the Chen family is willing to be His Royal Highness's retainer, and he will live forever and forever!" If there is a different heart...... so that my children and grandchildren will have no home, no country, no success, no ......"

"Shut up!" Nie Xingji interrupted in time and asked sharply, "Who gave you the idea?" Is it Wei Lianpian? ”

"Nope! It's Wechen's own idea! Ming Chenyuan hurriedly explained: "Weichen has thought about it, only in this way can you block Youyou's mouth." The back of the head of Weichen is given by the Ming family, and the surname is changed to show loyalty, if there is any change in the future, it will be scolded by the world, no matter how you deal with Weichen, you will never tarnish your prestige! ”

"Mingchen is far away!" Nie Xingji seemed to be angry, and he rarely called anyone by his first name. Ming Chenyuan only listened to him ask himself: "Do you know what you are doing?" To break away from the Ming clan is to turn your back on your ancestors, and you will be spurned by your clansmen and even by the people of the world! And the last name you changed...... You...... What do you let the government and the opposition think of you? ”

Ming Chenyuan smiled, first glanced at Ming Danshu, who was full of anger, and then said indifferently: "Wechen has long been spurned by the clansmen, as for what the people of the world think, Wechen doesn't care." ”

"You ......" Hearing this, Nie Xingji was obviously very moved, but he still refused to let go: "Do your father and Jincheng know about this matter?" ”

"I don't know." Ming Chenyuan's face did not change: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and Wechen is already an unfilial person, but I ask His Highness to be compassionate, so that Wechen can be a loyal and righteous person!" As long as you believe in Wechen, Wechen will follow life and death! ”

"Nakazawa!" Nie Xingji's eyes turned red for a moment, as if he was holding back some kind of emotion, but he couldn't speak, and his forehead and neck were already showing green tendons, hinting at his strong restraint.

Ming Chenyuan also held back his tears and looked up at him: "The world will be together for a long time, Kyushu has been divided for hundreds of years, and it has been a disaster. Your Highness is wise, and will be attached to the four seas and unify the world. Weichen is willing to smear His Royal Highness's liver and brain, not to mention a surname. ”

He was clearly kneeling, but his body was straight; He was clearly pleading, but his voice was unwavering; He was clearly smiling, but his eyes were full of tears; He clearly has a noble surname, but he would rather be a retainer......

In this situation, Nie Xingji could not restrain him anymore, he bowed and helped him up from the ground, and asked again word by word: "Have you thought about it?" Can you put up with the fingers of the people of the world? Even your children and grandchildren will be given a disgraceful surname and will be slaves forever? ”

"It's not a shame, it's a glory! The descendants of Weichen will also be proud of this surname! Ming Chenyuan was sonorous and powerful, his eyes were full of determination, and there were tears that were about to burst out of his eyes.

The two men who were standing close to each other silently faced each other, and in the end, Nie Xingchen patted him on the shoulder and smiled first: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will order Qin Tian to monitor the auspicious day of the zodiac and make an order as soon as possible." ”

"Your Highness......" It was only at this time that Ming Danshu, who had not spoken sound, suddenly whispered, making Nie Xingji aware of her existence.

"What? Danshu has an objection? Nie Xingji instantly regained his composure, looking at her without waves, without displeasure or joy.

Ming Danshu opened her mouth and didn't say anything, but the anger hidden between her eyebrows seemed to be able to breathe fire!

Seeing this, Mingchen took the initiative to say to Nie Xingji: "It seems that Concubine Shuniang has something to say to Weichen, I wonder if His Royal Highness can allow me to talk alone?" ”

Nie Xingchen naturally knew what the two brothers and sisters would say, so he nodded casually: "It just so happens that I still haven't read the folds, so you can talk slowly." With that, he turned and walked to the Holy Study.

Ming Chenyuan sent him off respectfully, but Ming Danshu completely forgot to salute, just stiffened his body and stared at Ming Chenyuan tightly, and asked him: "How do you explain to your father when you do this?" There's only one incense left under his knees! ”

Ming Chenyuan raised his hand to wipe the moist corners of his eyes, and returned to a cold look: "It seems that Concubine Shuniang is not as familiar with the recent situation of his old man as I am, too, I'm afraid he doesn't have the face to tell you." ”

Ming Danshu didn't know what to say, so "What do you mean by this?" ”

Mingchen Yuan then smiled slowly and said: "You don't know, in fact, after his old man resigned and returned to his hometown, he immediately remarried a stepfamily, and I heard that the woman was one year younger than you." About last year, his old man's old tree had bloomed, and he had added a sister-in-law. ”

As soon as he said this, Ming Danshu seemed to be standing unsteadily and shook his body, his face was first incredulous, and then turned into embarrassment: "How old is that child, you know how long you can live?" If it's ...... case"

"What if?" Ming Chenyuan smiled coldly: "He didn't expect me to be filial to the end, what are you worrying about for him?" He needed a son, and he didn't care who that son was. In my opinion, in the mountains and countryside, away from intrigue, the child will grow up safely. ”

Ming Chen came to this point and looked at Ming Danshu with interest: "What? Lady in a hurry? Worried? Afraid that he will forget about Lady Helian if he remarries a stepfamily? ”

"Mingchen is far away! You don't want to stir up the feelings of my father and daughter! Ming Danshu was about to refute, but the other party laughed again: "I don't know if Mrs. Helian knows underground, but she will resent him for being unkind?" Hehe. ”

Ming Danshu's face turned red with anger, and she didn't know whether she was angry with Mingchen or her father, so she had to force herself to be stubborn: "No matter what your father says and does, he always gives birth to you and raises you, and I can't allow you, the concubine who betrayed the family, to insult him here!" ”

"Oh? Since you have decided that I have betrayed my family, can I change my surname? Ming Chenyuan stretched out his hand and folded a pink flower in front of him, and asked playfully: "Or do you think that I will have nothing to do with you in the future, which will affect your status in Your Highness's heart?" ”

The more Ming Danshu listened, the more humiliated she felt, and she was furious: "I don't care about your light!" If you want to break away from the Ming clan, no one is rare! But you want to change your surname! What the hell is this last name? It's all about Ming's face! ”

Hearing this, Ming Chenyuan sneered and sarcastically again: "What if I change my surname to Chen?" At least above board. On the contrary, Concubine Niangniang, I can't wait to change your surname, but I'm afraid that Your Highness won't want it! ”

Seeing that she was about to speak, Ming Chenyuan simply blocked her: "Concubine Shuniang seems to have forgotten that His Royal Highness is the enemy of the Ming family, and now you grovel to him and lean on him, which is also a betrayal of the Ming family!" ”

He glanced at her contemptuously as he spoke, and then warned: "I don't know what you're up to, but I've said ugly things before, if you keep to yourself, I'll remember a little bit of old love; If you dare to provoke His Highness and the night, don't blame me for being merciless! ”

"You can't protect yourself, and you dare to speak out?"

"Why don't you try it?" Ming Chen glared at her from afar and walked away.
