Seeing that Cheng Yuan was very aggrieved, An Cheng casually made a few side dishes to repay him. The dignified princess cooked, which was very eye-catching, but the taste made Cheng Yuan change from being full of interest to being disappointed.

Did you agree to the food, and make it so unpalatable?

"If you don't want to eat, you can not eat."

An Cheng said coldly.

When Cheng Yuan heard this, he was so happy that he didn't eat it.

"Hmph~ You go out to Hongu!"

Creak...... Bang, the kitchen door opened, and after Cheng Yuan came out, the door closed again.

An Cheng stood in the kitchen with a black face, bowing his head and eating the food he cooked.

Outside the door, Cheng Yuan knocked on the door and patted it.

"Your Highness, let me in."

Cheng Yuanxin said that next time, it is necessary to manage facial expressions.

came out of the kitchen and told Yahuan to boil water to bathe the "knowledgeable" princess, and he himself washed casually.

Cheng Yuan sat at the desk next to the study, and An Cheng sat next to him without saying a word.

When the candle was about to burn, An Cheng began to feel sleepy, and he was about to get confused, so he sat stubbornly.

Cheng Yuan took her in his arms and said in a low voice: "The minister has to paint for a long time, you don't need to accompany her, your highness go down to sleep." ”

She still sat still.

Cheng Yuan picked her up, walked to the couch in the study and put it down, took off her embroidered shoes, her feet were white and clean, and her curves were also very good, delicate as warm jade.

You have to control yourself and stop in moderation......

covered her with a quilt, and since daylight, the two have inexplicably taken a step forward.

"Sleep, tomorrow the minister will go to the court and hand over this thing to His Majesty."

On the fourth watch of the second day, Cheng Yuan got up and entered the palace with the drawings he had selected to build the temple.

Before going to the court, he went to the palace to see Zhu Di.

Zhu Di meant that Cheng Yuan proposed to build a temple in the early dynasty, but the reason was for Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yuan said: "Minister...... I will help Your Majesty to handle this matter properly, please don't worry about Your Majesty. ”

He will not think that Zhu Di is a coward, nor will he think that Zhu Di is hypocritical, Zhu Di has his own unspeakable secrets in this matter.

If Zhu Di was Zhu Yuanzhang's orthodox inheritance, then Zhu Di would definitely enshrine his biological mother, but he couldn't do this, so he chose Queen Ma to raise him.

After all, the orthodoxy in the mouth of the world's scholars, and the theory that if the orthodoxy is gone, the country will die, even if Zhu Di is strong, he has to admit this.

Queen Ma raised Zhu Biao, Zhu Zhang, Zhu Li, Zhu Di and Zhu Hu brothers with her own hands, and this kindness is difficult to erase in Zhu Di's heart.

"I want to worship her, but I don't need to show filial piety to the world, I have it in my heart, and that's enough." Zhu Di stretched out his arms, and Queen Xu helped him comb his hair and change clothes.

It stands to reason that these are all done by palace maids and chamberlains, but when Zhu Di was in Yanwang's Mansion, Empress Xu was used to sorting it out for him.

Cheng Yuan said sincerely: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are really envious, and they will grow old together." ”

Empress Xu helped Zhu Di choose a hairpin, turned her head and chuckled: "You just can talk, this palace is not in good health, how long can you accompany Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Di said: "My queen is the most beautiful, and she also wants to grow old with me. ”

Cheng Yuan knew that Empress Xu would die early, so he smiled and said, "With the ministers here, the queen's body will be well adjusted." ”

Zhu Di turned his head and looked at Cheng Yuan seriously, he believed that Zhu Di was a person who could be trusted, so he said: "At the beginning, Beiping Mansion could let Cheng Yuan recuperate, and when An Cheng got married, he would be his own person, could he Cheng Yuan not do his best." ”

Cheng Yuan is honest, he admires Zhu Di very much, people like Zhu Di also like to do big things, unrestrained people, the two are still like-minded.

Zhu Di saw admiration and sincerity in Cheng Yuan's eyes, as well as thinking about him, and like Dao Yan, he would wake him up in important things.

That's a rare thing.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes and contempt, in my heart you are half of my son, so I can rest assured that I put the two girls in your house.

If An Cheng and them play tricks, I won't be partial, but you have to treat them well. ”

They? Cheng Yuan said: "Yes, His Royal Highness An Cheng is taking care of His Royal Highness Xianning in the mansion, and the ministers and brothers are living around, and they will be properly protected." ”

Zhu Di felt relieved of the pressure in his heart, and he was sincerely relieved.

In front of the Fengtian Palace, the Jinyi guard whipped in the air, and a new day of the Ming Dynasty began.

Before going to the court, Zhu Di told Cheng Yuan about the specifications of the temple again, so that he could rest assured that he would go to the court.

Zhu Di sat on the Fengtian Palace, and hundreds of civil and military officials were in the hall.

Bingbu Shangshu coughed twice.

It has been a long time since the last dynasty, and Cheng Yuan also figured out why the officials of the previous dynasty had to cough twice before coming out, and reminded the other ministers not to fight or grab, and to go out to play things by themselves.

The secretary of the military department immediately reported the matter of the invasion of the Japanese in the coastal prefectures and counties.

"Your Majesty, you should immediately send troops to exterminate the coastal pirates." The military department is still the book.

Zhu Di said: "Those Dongying dwarves, I agreed to send troops to exterminate them, and all those caught were steamed alive, trampling on the land of my Ming Dynasty, bullying the people, and never sparing!" ”

Baiguan took a breath of cool air, Zhu Di actually wanted to steam those dwarves alive.

Why does it sound so cool? Cheng Yuan waited for the military department to finish playing, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a play." ”

Where's your notebook? The officials were a little puzzled when they heard Cheng Yuan's words, and they all turned their heads.

Zhu Di said: "Zhen Guogong, speak." ”

"Your Majesty still remembers that when we were in Jinan, we met a kind woman, she helped us at that time, and a few days ago I heard that she had died of illness, and the minister wanted to build a temple for her."

Cheng Yuan lied without blinking.

Zhu Neng and the others remembered that someone in Jinan Mansion had helped Zhu Di and Cheng Yuan, but they couldn't remember it, and they didn't know which one Cheng Yuan was talking about.

"Your Majesty, since the temple is being built, the address must be chosen well, and the construction must be grander." Cheng Yuan also played truthfully.

Repair temples? Repair the ancestral hall. Zhen Guogong, your head is in the water, and you repair it for a nameless woman...... Hubu Shangshu immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Zhenguo Gong has to propose that the ministers think it is inappropriate, the imperial court is in the time of great prosperity, and there is no need to spend money on useless things." ”

Yushi Jingqing thought for a while: "Your Majesty, if you are grateful to the woman for saving her life, it is better to reward some silver taels and repair the tombstone, why be so extravagant, Zhenguo Gong is simply nonsense." ”

Jingqing, you old immortal...... Cheng Yuan continued: "Please approve Your Majesty." ”

"Zhen Guogong understands the righteousness so well, but reminds me not to be an ungrateful person, exactly." Zhu Di then said:

"The town will preside over this matter, with the assistance of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Monk Lu Division to complete it."

It is a temple to build, and it must be taken care of by the monks, nominally a woman, and when the time comes, a Bodhisattva body will be molded, and a picture of Guanyin will be embroidered.

There were a lot of monks in the Ming Dynasty, some people said that the Ming Dynasty Hongwu suppressed the monks, but it was not, if it was really suppressed, how could the vassal king take the monks to pray for Queen Ma.

Being a monk in the Ming Dynasty was like being a civil servant, not only did you not have to pay taxes, but there were many people who took the degree and went home to marry their relatives.

Some also choose to become monks in order to avoid labor and military service.

That's why the imperial court controlled the number of monks.

"Your Majesty, the minister will handle this matter well." Cheng Yuan returned to the class after speaking.

"Your Majesty, the minister is opposed, if the temple is built according to the specifications that Your Majesty said, I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money, and you should not be bewitched by the prince of Zhenguo."

Mei Yin said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is really inappropriate for the Zhenguo Gong to do things for the sake of the court and turn it into his own selfishness, and I hope Your Majesty will investigate it clearly." ”

"Your Majesty, don't waste a lot of time, now that the prefectures and counties are rebuilding after the disaster, think twice, Your Majesty."

The ministers pointed the finger at Cheng Yuan.

Zhu Laosi, I'll take the blame for you again...... Cheng Yuan said: "Your Majesty, the repair of the temple is a matter of kindness, please ask Your Majesty's ministers to request." ”

"Don't quarrel with you, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Monk Lu Division will assist the Zhenguo Gong to repair the temple, and select the site first." Zhu Di turned around and left after speaking.

After the court was dispersed, the officials were about to criticize Cheng Yuan, but they found that he was gone.

In the imperial garden, Zhu Di said: "This time the temple will be repaired with various yamen, and it just so happens that you can help me see if there are any suitable children of the family among these officials."

The queen was also worried about Miaojin's affairs, marrying the princes, they all had princesses and married sons, which was a generational difference.

Right now, Xianning is almost old, you help me go back and ask her requirements, and then I will ask you to help her choose a husband and find her well. You're a waste of heart. ”

Zhu Di looked at Cheng Yuan as he spoke: "Remember to go back and ask Xianning, this girl will be picked up when she can be taken back to the palace in a few days, so as not to disturb you." ”

Cheng Yuan still wanted to joke with Zhu Di, but he felt weird in his heart, so he had to answer Zhu Di perfunctorily, saying that he would pay attention to her for her.

He doesn't want to be a matchmaker, Xu Miaojin doesn't marry, so let him find her somewhere.

Especially Xianning, although this girl always scolds herself and blocks herself, although there is a gap between him and Xianning.

can let him go to Xianning to find the son of the family as a candidate, he really can't do it.

"Cheng Yuan! Did I write down what I said to you? Go back and ask her what she wants, and I will listen to her and find it for her. ”

I don't want to do that...... Cheng Yuan replied perfunctorily: "Yes, the minister's order." ”

When Cheng Yuan left the palace, he saw Zhu Gaoxu waiting for him at the gate of the palace, and after asking, he learned that it was Huaiqing's concubine Wang Ning who invited him to drink with Zhu Gaoxu.

Cheng Yuan, who was originally bored in his heart, followed.
