There is a distance between the East Palace and the Xianning Palace, connecting different palace roads, and Cheng Yuan didn't say much when he saw An Cheng coming out, so he scratched his head and followed her.

When they came to the main gate of the East Palace, Yao Guangxiao and Zhang Yuzheng walked out with a smile, and the two walked without hurry.

At this moment, the two sides happened to alternate their eyes, Yao Guangxiao and Zhang Yu nodded to Princess An Cheng: "Minister, I have seen His Royal Highness An Cheng." ”

"The two princes are good." An Cheng returned the favor.

Yao Guangxiao walked to Cheng Yuan's side: "Zhenguo Gong is free tomorrow, narrate?" ”

"Okay."

Cheng Yuan wondered why Zhang Yu and Yao Guangxiao left so early, but seeing that everyone was very interested, and the palace attendants next to him were walking around, he didn't ask much.

"Free tonight?" Zhang Yu beckoned: "Let's drink together." ”

"I'll be there later." Cheng Yuan said with a smile, he was going to ask Zhu Laosi about the Yu family's Chaohu Water Army tonight.

After walking a few steps, Cheng Yuan looked back at Yao Guangxiao and Zhang Yu again, lowered his head and continued to walk, walked a few steps and turned back, but he didn't know if it was too obvious or too eager to drink, so Princess An Cheng, who was walking in front, stopped and said, "If you want to go, you don't have to accompany the palace every day." ”

"Forget it, they're all gone, I'll make an appointment tomorrow."

After saying this, Cheng Yuan strode into the main gate of the East Palace.

That's right, although he still wants to go, but for the time being, he still can't figure out whether the hearts of the women around him really let him go.

Cheng Yuan held his chin and frowned slightly.

He wants to go out and surf, he wants to go out and have a good time.

"Cheng Yuan, do you want to go drinking with Old General Zhang and the master?"

"Horse, can you hear Hongu talking."

"I didn't hear it, but I'll try to convince myself to listen carefully to His Highness next time, but I didn't hear it just now."

I pretended not to hear that sentence just now.

His eyes became very clear, and he tried to convey his sincerity.

An Cheng's chest was puffing up, and he was a little dissatisfied with Cheng Yuan pretending to be deaf and honest, and walked over to blow Lan Tufang in Cheng Yuan's ear: "Did the officials really not hear it, or were they joking with others, if this is the case, the slave family will punish you." ”

Cheng Yuan swallowed and foamed, and suddenly said seriously and thoughtfully: "Don't learn the things in the bedroom." ”

"It's still you who taught the palace." She covered her mouth and smiled, glanced at Cheng Yuan, and said back to her original state: "It's okay not to mess around, let's enter the palace with the palace." ”

Sure enough, less ...... The woman's smile is very amorous, and it is better to teach it herself.

Wake up...... can't forget about brothers and colleagues for the sake of women, Cheng Yuan was intoxicated, but he still insisted on the principle that he couldn't value sex and ignore friends.

Persist in refusing to bend over to your own thoughts, bow your head and take off your pants.

Yes, you must stick to your principles and not bow to this woman.

"I'm not going anywhere tonight, what's so good about wine, how fragrant it is to go home and sleep." Cheng Yuan looked at the people around him and said with a smile.

"It's not that you won't be allowed to go, it's that you didn't have a good New Year last year."

Seeing the husband and wife, the chamberlain went in and reported.

Emperor Yongle's birthday cake was just finished eating, and his eyes stared at Cheng Yuan, making Cheng Yuan very uncomfortable.

Syllable!

Zhu Di put down the plate, "Cheng Yuan, you are such a person!" ”

Cheng Yuan's pupils shrank.

Wait a minute, what's wrong with me?

What's wrong with me...... I didn't do anything, Cheng Yuan thought quickly.

Just as he was about to ask, An Cheng pulled Cheng Yuan's sleeve with his hand.

"Father, ...... you" Princess An Cheng subconsciously stood in front of Cheng Yuan, asked cautiously, and looked at Queen Xu at the same time.

"Cheng Yuan will make such pastries, why didn't you two say it earlier, and hide it from me."

Zhu Di felt very happy when he saw Cheng Yuan so nervous, he could deter Cheng Yuan.

He likes to see officials obey him from the bottom of his heart, listen to him, and fear himself.

This kind of power can make Zhu Di feel the power to control and deter others.

It's his favorite pleasure.

Seeing Cheng Yuan like this, Zhu Di laughed, he just felt that he had known Cheng Yuan for so long, but he didn't expect this kid to hide what he didn't know.

Cheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know why he was angry in his heart, you Zhu Laosi can't say anything directly, you have to be like this.

Queen Xu and Zhang's praised the birthday cake as very good, and then took the female dependents to the apse.

The chamberlain pulled Zhu Zhanji away.

"Isn't Your Majesty's will fulfilled? The Yu family still didn't obediently give up Chaohu Lake to the imperial court. I don't dare to say anything else, but Your Majesty opened his mouth, how could the Yu family lose face. ”

Zhu Di waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "Although the Yu family did not resist me, they still mind that I am not orthodox in their hearts.

Forced? What about the sailors, they and the Yu family are of the same mind, I will definitely be ashamed of the invasion of the Japanese invaders, how can I let the Japanese invade my house to spread the wilderness, will I cut them all? ”

Cheng Yuan was silent.

The emperor is not arbitrary, he can make the final decision on the Ming Dynasty, but he can't stop the ministers from talking nonsense, and he can't change people's hearts. Or coerce and lure them.

Zhu Di has this ability, but he can't abuse it, otherwise it will be detrimental to his rule.

Zhu Di's martyrdom is no longer said on the surface, but in fact, most people are unorthodox about Zhu Di and sitting on the throne.

It's just that after Jingqing's assassination failed, no one dared to be cannon fodder anymore, they were not stupid, and they couldn't fight the court on their own.

Besides, the people in the south of the Yangtze River and the people in the north are still very satisfied with Zhu Di, the emperor.

It can also be said. The people don't care what their surnames are in the world, as long as they are well fed, warmly dressed, and safe, it is a good thing that the wives are peaceful.

Zhu Di's most fundamental purpose is to stabilize his regime.

Cheng Yuan had to go to Chaohu Lake to convince the Yu family, because his big tree was Zhu Di, and if Zhu Di fell, he would also fall.

Among them, the interests are related, people are all laymen, they all have to dress and eat, have wives and children, and they can't shout fake slogans for the sake of so-called "orthodoxy" and fight for meaningless titles.

Zhu Di said: "The manpower of the Shenji Battalion has been almost summoned, and now it is the anti-Japanese guards, the Hu clan in the land of Annan manipulated the Chen clan, in the past few years, they have not taken care of it, they have become more rampant, but I have to do two things now, the first is the Tatars, and the second is to be ashamed of the snow, so as not to let the Japanese have a good time." ”

"Obey." Cheng Yuan Dao.

Before leaving, Zhu Gaosui came to celebrate the New Year and brought a gift that Zhu Di liked.

Zhu Di smiled: "Gao Sui, you go to see your mother first." ”

Zhu Gaosui glanced at Cheng Yuan and Zhu Gaochi, and left triumphantly.

Since Zhu Gaochi was established as a son, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui began to be untargeted.

Among them, Zhu Gaochu has the most military exploits, and Zhu Gaosui is also very popular with Zhu Di because he is the youngest of his sons.

Compared with Zhu Gaochi, it is a little sad.

Before leaving, Zhu Gaochi accidentally tripped over a stool and fell.

Cheng Yuan hurriedly pulled, and Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaochi in disgust: "I will give you a year, if it is still like this, don't blame me for being polite." ”

"Yes." Zhu Gaochi hurriedly made amends: "My son will not let my father worry about it." ”

The second day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The streets were jubilant, Cheng Yuan first went to the construction site of Bao'en Temple to inspect it, and then rushed to the Tianjie Temple to find Yao Guangxiao, an old monk.

Qingshou Temple has both Beiping and Beijing, which is Yao Guangxiao's second nest.

In the side temple of the Heavenly Boundary Temple, Yao Guangxiao was sitting in the courtyard, already pouring two cups of tea and putting some snacks.

The two talked about Zhu Gaochi, and Yao Guangxiao asked Cheng Yuan if he could prescribe a few pills to help Zhu Gaochi regulate his lower body.

Cheng Yuan said: "It's time to recuperate, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell today, it's really ......"

Yao Guangxiao had already guessed what was going on, looked at Cheng Yuan and said, "Zhenguo Gong is not an outsider, so I'll tell the truth."

The crown prince has never been on the battlefield, he is not as brave and good at fighting as the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, in His Majesty's heart, the Han King is most like him. Guogong still remembers what His Majesty said to everyone when we were in the camp together, the Battle of Jinan? ”

The prince is sick, and he will be appointed as the prince in the future, this sentence flashed in Cheng Yuan's mind, and he just nodded.

"Naturally, I remember, but now after the birth of the little emperor's grandson, the situation has been alleviated, but King Han and King Zhao have not stopped."

"I am the young master of the crown prince, you are the prince and the young master, and Qiu Fu is the young master of the prince, but everyone knows that Qiu Fu and the king of Han are the best, and they advocate the establishment of the king of Han."

After taking Yao Guangxiao's words, Cheng Yuan said:

"However, when Emperor Taizu was the son of King Yan, and the ministers opposed the King of Han, the prince was cautious and did not make mistakes, and His Majesty did not want to be criticized by the world."

"Hehe, Guogong, Your Majesty once used Qiu Fu instead of Zhu Neng as a young master, which made King Han and King Zhao even more proud.

They have always been so blatantly antagonistic between the DPRK and China. If you have the opportunity to sue the prince in front of Your Majesty, you and I are just ordinary courtiers, can you see the situation clearly? ”

Of course, I can see it clearly, and I understand the future development generally...... Cheng Yuan said: "Thank you to the master for solving the puzzle today, Cheng Mou understands." ”

Yao Guangxiao laughed, he didn't expect that there was something that Cheng Yuan couldn't see clearly, and he felt a little proud in his heart at the moment, but he still regarded Cheng Yuan as a member of the prince's family.

There was silence under the trees, and only the sound of the temple bells came.
