That night, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi staged a father-son filial piety, Zhu Di set up a dinner party, and left the prince and Chen Yuan for dinner.

This was a very common thing, but in the eyes of the King of Han, it was different, he was shocked and frightened, his father had recently praised him, gave him the power to supervise the country, and also cultivated his own way of governing the country. What it means to suddenly leave the hated big brother to eat is self-evident.

Therefore, he immediately summoned the scholars Liu Guan and Sima Wang Bin to discuss.

Wang Bin touched his chin and said worriedly: "Lord, I heard that the ministers all want to recommend the king of Han to go north, in this way, the king of Han has the highest voice, and the establishment of the prince is a sure thing, I never thought that the prince of Zhao listened to Chen Yuan's instigation and actually recommended the prince." ”

"Hateful." King Han slammed his fist on the table, and the green tendons burst out.

A haze flashed in Liu Guan's eyes: "Prince, the minister said earlier, Chen Yuan is swaying between the princes, a complete villain, and now he is falling to the prince, if this person is not removed, the king of Han will have no future." ”

King Han was furious in his heart: This Chen Yuan, this king sees that you have some talent, and you have recruited you three times and twice, but you have done bad things to me several times, don't blame this king for being ruthless.

The next day, in the Huagai Palace, Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji, Li Shimian, Zhu Gaoxu, Liu Guan, Wang Bin and others were tense, like a group of fighting roosters.

Chen Yuan, who has no real power, the prince who seems to have no ideas, and Kuang Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, are behind, looking at the nose and the nose and the heart, like an old monk entering the meditation. This Kuang Wei was the envoy of Shaanxi two years ago, and he worked with Chen Yuan, and he was an old acquaintance with Chen Yuan. Now that the Shangshu of the DPRK was reprimanded, Zhu Di promoted him to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

After Li Shimian interceded with Chen Yuan, Ren Shuntianfu Yin, this time he came to listen to the emperor's lecture.

Zhu Di stood on the top, lowered his eyes, and played with the tea leaves from time to time.

Liu Guan's impassioned voice echoed in the main hall: "Your Majesty, the matter of going north is very important, and the road is far away, so naturally the Han King who is allowed to be able to do it, prevent small nights, and appease the people!" ”

Xia Yuanji sneered, raised his head and said: "Master Liu, don't forget, what the King of Han did in Shandong, the White Lotus Sect was rampant, and the conquest army was defeated, it was really Yunwen Yunwu!" ”

These are all embarrassing things for the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu jumped to his feet and said: "You are so daring, you actually pick my sore spot, I will kill you old horseman." ”

Liu Guan and Wang Bin hurriedly grabbed the angry King of Han: "King Han is angry. "Eyes indicate above, Yongle is still there? Beat the minister in front of him, don't want to mess around?

Zhu Gaoxu flicked his sleeves hatefully, and cursed in his heart: "Old horseman, sooner or later I want you to look good." ”

Xia Yuanji is not afraid, he is an old minister, and he dares to speak, he is not afraid of Zhu Di, how can he be afraid of a Han king.

Liu Guan spread his hands and defended Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, Xia Yuanji is spewing blood!" Han Wang is far away in Le'an Prefecture, what does Shandong have to do with him, Xia Yuanji, as a scholar, slandered the prince and despised the saint, and asked the emperor to punish him for his crimes, so as to set the record straight. ”

Liu Guan turned his body around, and said: "King Han has always been diligent, hard-working, and fought with his life several times during the Jing Dynasty, and now, the scars on his body are still there?" Can't reflect the loyalty of the Han King? The king of Han is now in charge of the country, and the natural prime minister is everything, and the matter of going north should be done by the king of Han.! ”

Zhu Di shook his head and blew the tea foam, took a sip of tea, and said nothing.

Li Shi interjected angrily: "Your Majesty, don't listen to Bachelor Liu's sophistry, the prince is not at fault, how can he be abolished, since he is not abolished, he should follow the patriarchal etiquette, the matter of going north, it is a big matter, naturally he is the first person outside His Majesty, it is none other than the prince!" ”

Wang Bin argued: "Now it is the Han Dynasty that is in charge of the country. ”

Li Shimian strived: "The prince is still the prince now." ”

They fought for red-facedness, Zhu Di coughed, and then said slowly: "Whether it is the prince or the prison country, they are all my sons, people are worried about their own sons being incompetent, and my sons can do it, it is difficult to choose, hehe!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

"Alright, stand down!"

As soon as Zhu Di waved his hand, Wang Zhen stood in front from the side of the imperial case, waved the dust in his hand, and began to bombard.

Li Shimian, Wang Bin and others had no choice but to bow down together, then glared at each other angrily, and then retreated backwards to the outside of the palace gate, twisting their buttocks, one turned to the left, the other turned to the right, and walked out together. It seems that it is not a dispute between the princes, but some deep hatred between them.

Xia Yuanji bowed and said, "Your Majesty ......"

Zhu Di said: "You also step down, Gao Chi, Gao Xu, Shiqi and Chen Yuan stay!" ”

Xia Yuanji hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order!" He bowed down and withdrew.

Zhu Di glanced at Chen Yuan and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Chen Yuan's head is big, he can feel Zhu Gaochu's threatening gaze and Zhu Gaochi's hidden hope gaze, two princes, let me say something, Chen Yuan played Tai Chi and said: "Your Majesty, according to the etiquette system, the prince is suitable, according to the voice and physical fitness, the King of Han is more suitable, please make a decision.!" ”

Zhu Di's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and he said softly: "I have decided-" He glanced at his two sons, and saw that the eyes of the two sons were the same as Chen Yuan's.

"Gao Xu."

This shout, Zhu Gaochi was shocked, but Zhu Gaochu was overjoyed: "Father, the son is here." ”

Zhu Di crossed his hands and pinched each other for a while, until his son was so anxious that he said: "You have the heavy responsibility of supervising the country, and the affairs of the court and the central government are inseparable from you——"

These words made Zhu Gaochi overjoyed, Zhu Gaochu was shocked, and blurted out: "Father, son, son, son-"

Zhu Di waved his hand: "This matter is settled." Three days later, Gao Chi, you lead your family to go to Suncheon first, and make arrangements for me, I must sacrifice to the heavens in Shuncheonfu on the first day of the next year, and announce it to the world. ”

Zhu Gaochi prostrated on the ground, holding back the excitement in his heart, when he was the prince before, he had never been so excited: "Erchen must live up to his mission." ”

was made the crown prince before, which was originally his position, and his father was forced by the situation, at that time, he was young and vigorous, and he had the strength and energy to compete with his two younger brothers. Now, my father feels that his time is running out, so why shouldn't he? He always felt sweaty and dizzy after a few more steps.

But he had to hold on, and he couldn't fall, and if he fell, the fate of the whole family was not yet known. Zhan Ji has some talents, but he is still too young, he has to fight two uncles, plus his father's preference for the second and third brothers, as a grandchild, Zhu Zhanji does not have an advantage.

Zhu Gaoxu still had something to say, but Zhu Di interrupted him: "Gaoxu, these times, you have stepped up the training of soldiers and horses, and when I reach the north, I will go north to conquer the remnants of Mongolia, do you still dare to go to the battlefield?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu's gaze exploded like a candle, and a flash of light shimmered on the ground.

The Northern Expedition, yes, as a military general, he is extremely eager for war, and the Northern Expedition, at the same time, can obtain military power, as long as the military power is in hand, the victory or defeat of the prince is unknown.

The prince was unhappy again.

After Chen Yuan returned home, he saw Dong Mingyan eating in the yard with a sour hawthorn, and there was a large stack on the table, all of which were cyan, and reproached: "These profiteers are also cheating people, no matter how sour, see if I don't settle accounts with him." ”

Dong Mingyan was flushed, and said coquettishly: "People like to eat, don't blame them!" ”

Chen Yuan said with a smile: "Uh, is it like people say, you are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and you think that grass is fragrant?" ”

"Hmph, Xianggong, in broad daylight, talking nonsense, you are not allowed to go to my bed tonight."

Ouch, this is not good, Chen Yuan hurriedly bowed and begged for mercy.

"Okay, you two, old husband and wife, are still flirting there." Fan Niangzi appeared at the door and said with a smile, "It's time for breakfast." ”

"Got it" Chen Yuan replied, went to help his wife, just before he arrived, Dong Mingyan's face suddenly changed, turned around and ran to the corner, retching for a while, but he didn't vomit anything.

Chen Yuan frowned, followed worriedly, supported her, and gently stroked his back: "Madam, what's uncomfortable?" ”

Dong Mingyan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the weather has changed a lot recently, it's hot during the day and cold at night, and you always come back in the middle of the night to lift the quilt, presumably because of the wind, and your spleen and stomach are a little uncomfortable." ”

Chen Yuan felt guilty and held her hand: "It's all my fault, and I'm tired of my wife." ”

Dong Mingyan smiled.

The second monk Chen Yuanzhang was confused, what was the situation?

Chunhua turned out from the door and said angrily: "Young master, you will care about your sweet potatoes and rice seeds, when will you care about your family, is the young lady pregnant?" ”

Chen Yuan was surprised and delighted, and said to Dong Mingyan with disbelief: "Madam, is this true?" ”

Dong Mingyan nodded slightly, and a blush rose from her neck to her eyebrows.

"Ha, I'm a father, ha." Chen Yuanle does not spend money, and dances with his hands.

As a father, I suddenly felt that I had already integrated into this world.

Because Dong Mingyan was pregnant, the entire Chen Mansion was boiling.

"I'm coming! I see! I'm in charge! ”

Chen Yuan closed his eyes, felt the wind blowing in his face, enjoyed the future to catch loaches with his child, taught him to read and write, and watched him naughty and coquettish, with an indescribable yearning in his heart. While he was intoxicated, a large hand appeared on his shoulder, and with a flick of the situation, he pushed him aside.

"What are you yelling at, the doctor is coming, and you will get in the way." Fan Niangzi mercilessly threw her son aside.

Fan Niangzi has invited a famous gynecology Langzhong in the capital, and the maids and maids are very happy, Chen Yuan's family rules are not so much, and they also take the trouble to introduce the young lady to the experience of raising a child and having a baby. Even what to choose after birth and how to do it, I have planned it.

Chen Yuan was still immersed in fantasy.

"I'm coming! I see! I'm in charge! Chen Yuan's voice was a little nervous.

Chunhua took the hand of a maid named Xiaocui and whispered, "It's over, the young master won't be crazy." ”

Xiao Cui grimaced at her: "No, the young master is such a calm person, just a little happy, it won't-"

Before the words fell, Chen Yuanji's voice came again: "I'm here!" I see! I'm in charge, ha. ”

Cui fell in despair.

Chen Yuan howled for a long time, and then came to Dong Mingyan's side, looking at the people who were busy coming in and out, and smirked. Seeing their cautiousness, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile and said: "It's okay, don't worry, Madame is pregnant, and it won't be possible to be happy or sad, if you stare at her like this, the fetus will be uncomfortable!" ”

Chunhua said: "Young master, you haven't given birth to a child, how can you understand this, this is a big deal, don't follow it." ”

Chen Yuan glared and said in his heart, how come I don't know, I have five hundred years more knowledge than you.

Just before they could refute, a group of maids pushed Chen Yuan away and said apologetically: "Young master, we are going to serve the young lady to practice fetal protection, please let me." ”

"Hey, don't be in such a hurry, I haven't heard my baby's movements yet-"

"Young master, it's only been two months, you think so much, get out of the way, the slave has offended-"

"Hey, then I'll touch it-"

"No—"

A group of people objected, Chen Yuan was squeezed into the corner, almost fell into the mud, wanted to howl again, and finally muttered depressedly: "Yes, whose cub is it, I'm the master." ”
