Taisun Mansion.

Since the emperor's grandson left Beijing, this mansion, which has not been built for a long time next to the Jiuqu Qingxi, has been deserted and has no royal appearance.

When Zhu Yunxi returned to Taisun Mansion after a few months, although there was no change outside, the entire Qingxi Jiuqu Bank seemed to come to life.

Even the guards in front of the mansion also look more majestic and majestic.

When he returned home, Zhu Yunxi unloaded the weight of seeking the country and was relaxed.

"Now is the time for you to be heavy, so rest more. These things are to be done by Caidie and Cailian. ”

Zhu Yunxi soaked in the bathtub and looked up at Tang Queqing and Mu Caiyun who were standing behind him, pressing their shoulders on one side.

Now that both of them are pregnant, they have been pregnant for half a year, and their cheeks, which were thin in the past, have become rounded, and their breasts are a little more pregnant because they can't be covered.

The lower abdomen seems to be inflated, turning into a round and jade pearl.

Tang Queqing lowered his eyebrows, and his eyes were indescribably gentle: "The hospital said that the fetus is very stable at this time." In two months, my sister will give birth, and then she will be a concubine. At that time, the first month was more careful, that is. You are running errands outside, in the wind and rain, and you don't know how many hardships and obstacles. Now that I'm back, the concubines can't do anything else, so they can only press your shoulders and backs. ”

It seems that because she is pregnant, she will soon become a mother for the first time. The crown princess became a little talkative, babbling about the shortcomings of the family.

"A few days ago, the ladies in the palace rewarded a lot of things. Obviously, His Majesty is very thrifty, but the concubine heard that those rewards were still told by His Majesty. ”

"The concubine put everything away and left it to the children."

"I was a little bored last time, and the Zhongshan Mansion didn't know how to know, and held a stage in Xuanwu Lake for several days. It was in the house that His Majesty rewarded that year, and sent an invitation over, waiting for the concubine and his sister to listen to the play for a few days, and it happened to be a spring day, so I had to swim in the lake. ”

"But the Xu family doesn't speak much now, as if they are just stuffy and leading Xungui to do the shipping business. I also wrote from my family, saying that I was also involved, but it was all in order, and I couldn't get it if I should take it. ”

"There has been some restlessness in Yunnan recently, the Tusi Turen are very fierce, and the elder brother of my sister's family is sitting there, so it is inevitable that my sister will be worried. It's just that the country's affairs are the most important, and the Marquis of Xiping returned to Beijing to be honored, and he didn't also lead the troops out. ”

"News came from my hometown a few days ago, saying that the person who moved there had made a private lifelong event, and went to my grandfather to say peace and ask for kindness. Grandpa played the recital, but His Majesty never spoke, and things froze there. The concubine is worried, if something happens after a long time, the reputation of the clan will not be good......"

In the house, it was the parents who were short, and the chattering and turning over and over were all things that didn't matter much, but it made Zhu Yunxi extremely relieved.

Unconsciously, Zhu Yunxi lay on the bed, his eyes were hazy, and he fell asleep without a trace of worry.

It wasn't until the incandescent sunlight began to turn yellow, and the window paper slouched into the room, that there was a movement above the bed.

Zhu Yunxi slowly opened his eyes, looked at the roof that was gradually becoming familiar, and turned his neck to look sideways at the bedside. I saw that Tang Queqing was already lying on the soft couch, rolling up a blanket and falling asleep with his eyes closed.

Mu Caiyun sat on the side, holding a book in his hand and reading it silently, with a dried fruit pastry in his hand. Read a book for a while, eat a dried fruit, and look up at the rooftop to soothe your eyes.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi had woken up and was staring at him, Mu Caiyun's face suddenly showed a smile, and he opened his mouth and was about to speak. Zhu Yunxi had already withdrawn his hand and shook it, and his eyes glanced at Tang Queqing who was sleeping on the side.

"Be quiet, don't wake her up."

Mu Caiyun shrank her head, and then realized that there was a sleeping princess beside her, and then said in a glutinous voice: "I forgot ......"

Zhu Yunxi had a smile on her face and beckoned to the girl.

Mu Caiyun's face turned red, and he lowered his head as if he was struggling a few times in his heart, and then he got up timidly, twisted his hands and feet and pressed the voice to the side of the bed.

Zhu Yunxi hooked his hand and gently hugged the girl into his arms.

"It's hard work, let you stay in the house these days."

Mu Caiyun lowered her head, leaned on Zhu Yunxi's arms, and shook her head: "The concubine is not hard, it is my sister who is working hard, taking care of the affairs of the Taisun Mansion inside and outside." She didn't like to interact with the female rolls of those noble families in Beijing, but every time she had to be a companion, listening to those female rolls talk about the gossip of each family. ”

Zhu Yunxi rubbed Mu Yatou's head with the palm of his hand, and his other hand was carefully attached to the bulging lower abdomen that contained vitality: "What about you?" ”

Mu Caiyun raised her head in Zhu Yunxi's arms with a red face, looked at him shyly, and said in a low voice: "The concubine can't speak, so she stays with her sister every time and listens to them." ”

Zhu Yunxi kissed the girl gently.

The nobles of the Ming Dynasty are a special group, especially those founding nobles who followed the old man from Huaiyou at the beginning.

When Empress Xiaoci was alive, the contact between the royal family and the nobles was handled by the old man himself, and then the queen died, and it was also handled by the ladies of the harem and the original Lu family.

Now there is no woman in charge in the East Palace, and the Taisun Mansion is open outside the palace again.

It is always easier for the female scrolls of the noble family to come to the Taisun Mansion than to invite them to the palace, and it is also more convenient for these families to maintain a positive relationship with the royal family.

"These are all systems, and if the country and the DPRK are stable, these things are indispensable." Zhu Yunxi explained softly, and lowered his head to find that Mu Yatou had fallen asleep in his arms.

With a warm smile on his face, he turned around and dragged Mu Caiyun carefully on the bed, and then turned to Tang Queqing, who had been asleep on the soft couch.

Zhu Yunxi's movements were very gentle, as if he was holding the most exquisite porcelain, and his movements were careful not to have the slightest bump.

After putting Tang Queqing on the bed, Zhu Yunxi covered the futon for the two girls, then tidied up his underwear a little, and put on his robe and accessories and went out of the inner room.

In the outhouse, Cailian and Caidie sat on a stool against the wall, squinting and resting, completely unaware that Zhu Yunxi had walked out.

This is probably what the whole house looks like when there is a backbone.

Zhu Yunxi pushed the door lightly, stepped out of the door, and pressed the door panel with his backhand to close it carefully.

Outside.

Jinyi Weibei Town, Fu Si Zhen Fu envoy Sun Cheng, has been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi walking out of the house, Sun Cheng immediately waved his robe, stepped out of one foot and knelt on his knees, hugged his fists and said in a deep voice: "Minister, Sun Cheng, see His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun." ”

Zhu Yunxi stepped forward and reached out to pat Sun Cheng's fists: "Get up, you are in the capital, I am very relieved." ”

Sun Cheng lowered his head: "Where is the responsibility of Weichen." ”

After speaking, Fang bowed and stood up.

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyes to look at the sky at this moment and asked, "What is the situation in the city now?" There was a disturbance at the noon gate. ”

"Everything is business as usual in the city, but there are more exchanges between officials and gentry, probably because of the forced palace in front of the gate at noon today."

Sun Cheng replied in a low voice, and followed Zhu Yunxi's footsteps and walked outside: "At the noon gate, Zhai Shan and the others have already gone over to persuade them, and the ministers and others have fire bubbles on Zhai Shan's mouth. ”

Zhu Yunxi clasped his hands together, hid under his sleeve robe, and smiled silently: "Zhai Shan is afraid that he can't persuade these people." ”

Sun Cheng nodded and said: "He persuaded a lot, he said all the good things, and even took out Jingcha to coerce the people present, but there was no one who listened." ”

These officials who were shocked by the cancellation of their fame and preferential treatment were no wonder if they could listen to Zhai Shan's persuasion.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were gloomy: "What about their appeals?" ”

It is saying that it is not easy for people in the world to study, and there are thousands of difficulties. The implication is that Weichen and others think that they are worried about whether the imperial court will really take away the preferential treatment of their academic fame. ”

Zhu Yunxi sneered: "Then let's go and see how worried they are." ”

……

"We are not worried about fame and fortune, we are just thinking about the livelihood of scholars in the world."

"Throughout the ages, how many poor young men should have sat on top of the school, and they didn't have to worry about daily rice and food, and they didn't have to worry about winter clothes and summer ice. But because of his livelihood, he had to live between the acres of land. ”

"The court's fame and preferential treatment is to preserve a dignity and calmness for future generations of scholars. Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall. Although this sentence is good, how many people have allowed it in ancient and modern times? ”

In front of the noon gate, the appeals of the palace officials who knelt quietly came out one by one through the mouths of the red-robed officials in front of them.

Zhai Shan, the secretary of the ministry, only felt a burst of dizziness in his head, these people were persuaded and persuaded and could not be persuaded to fight, and only one of them was left with a burst of anger.

Zhai Shan endured the pain at the corner of his mouth, and said tirelessly: "Who said that the imperial court is going to win the fame and preferential treatment?" Such groundless nonsense has never been discussed in the court. As an official of the court, you should listen to it and know it, rather than not distinguishing between right and wrong. ”

"Dare to ask Zhai Shangshu, why did such a thing happen when His Royal Highness asked the Kong family and escorted them back to Beijing?"

A red-robed Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate looked at Zhai Shan calmly and asked: "Although we don't know what kind of evidence His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson has of the Kong family, but the news of the meritorious and preferential treatment happened at this time. Dare to ask Zhai Shangshu, shouldn't we be worried about the world's scholars and even future generations? ”

Zhai Shan clasped his hands together, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and hammered his palms: "Rumors stop at the wise!" As long as Your Majesty had not decreed it, such a thing would not have happened! Your worries will not arise! ”

"These words, we hope that after meeting Your Majesty, you will have Your Majesty speak in person." The red-robed Du Yushi choked Zhai Shan, and made up his mind to get a guarantee from the emperor.

But in today's situation, how could the emperor see these people.

Zhai Shan's heart was on fire, his mouth was dry, and he looked sideways at the other four Shangshu beside him.

Ru Yu, who had only shaken the field once, bowed her head slightly: "Did your family cook meat today?" ”

Ren Hengtai, who was beside him, frowned, and turned his eyes to look at Ru Yu who was speaking.

Ren Hengtai showed a trace of helplessness on his face, this is Ru Yu trying to speak out by himself, so that he can find a way to get the gang in front of the noon gate as soon as possible.

Ren Hengtai's eyes turned, and when he raised his head, his face was already serious: "You are persecuting your father!" Where have all the books you read in the past gone? Have you forgotten the edification of the sages, the kings and the ministers?

At this moment, if you are kneeling here, you are persecuting Your Majesty. Your Majesty is the father of the people of the world, and we, as courtiers, should serve Your Majesty. To act like this today is disloyal to the court; For the monarch's father, it is unfilial. Such disloyalty and unfilial piety are also unkind and unjust. Don't you even want a name after you? ”

At this time, in the group of blue-robed officials behind the red-robed officials, one person raised his head.

It seems to be a certain young master in the five temples.

"Zhai Butang, Your Majesty is the father of today's people, but he is also the father of future generations. What the ministry said before, the lower officials did not dare to agree. We are not persecuting the monarch's father, as courtiers, because we are thinking about and worrying about the future generations of people who will study, we have today's actions, so why dare to speak out about persecution? ”

Zhai Shan opened his mouth, and suddenly felt how appropriate the words of those nobles in the past were when they scolded the civil officials.

This is a bunch of.

You say your reason, and he says his reason, but neither side matches.

Hubu Shangshu Yuxin stepped forward at this time, he looked at Zhai Shan and the others beside him, and said to the officials in front of him: "Go back, if Your Majesty wants to see you, you will have already summoned you at this moment." Today's trouble is up to now, Your Majesty wants to know it, and when you go back, the official will go to His Majesty to say goodbye, and then you will come back to face the saint and explain these things clearly, don't miss many matters in the court. ”

It's okay that Yu Xin didn't open his mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a lively scene in front of the noon gate, and all the officials were gossiping for a while.

"Since Your Majesty knows about this place, you should summon us and the others!"

"Why doesn't Your Majesty see me, is there a traitor blocking it? Or did His Majesty really acquiesce in the gossip outside, and really want to take away the fame and preferential treatment of scholars all over the world? ”

"Your Majesty is trying to chill the hearts of the world's scholars?"

"How many people in the world are studying hard in the cold window, just for the imperial examination, and once they can serve the Son of Heaven and govern the society of the world."

"It has only been 28 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty and 28 years since the founding of the Taiping Dynasty, and Your Majesty will connive at the treacherous people, causing the world to return to the situation it was 28 years ago?"

In front of the noon gate, the elite officials of the Ming Dynasty sighed for a long time, their faces were sad, and everyone was bored with officials, and they looked worried about the country and the people.

And yet at this moment.

Outside the end door, there was suddenly another noise.

The noise is full of some local vernacular dialects that should be heard in Tianfu.

Everyone turned around in unison.

I saw that accompanied by a group of chamberlains, there were countless people wearing coarse linen clothes, who walked through the gate of the imperial city so openly, passed through the end gate, and arrived in the corridor in front of the noon gate.

Inexplicably, all the officials who knelt silently in front of the noon gate forced the palace, and there was a sudden hesitation in their hearts.
