Chapter 9: I Didn't Stop Him
"Your Majesty, why is it wrong for the crown prince to be grounded in the East Palace for Your Majesty?" The emperor has never been able to do whatever he wants, and as soon as this holy decree was issued, the prince and the young master and the young master and the young master surrounded the imperial study.
Emperor Chengde was also angry: "I decreed that he should show his benevolence and be ......"
"Ask for a fart!" Meng sent a message to shake off Wan Shen, rushed in and scolded: "You faint king!" I don't want to sleepwalk all day! The heart is denser than a hornet's nest! I see your skull hurts! ”
A series of Bashu words stunned Emperor Chengde, "Look at how big a thing you have made the sky dark!" I don't know how long to say! The soldiers have been in obscurity for more than ten years, just thinking of ......"
The young master of the crown prince, Lu Baiyan, interrupted him: "Ahem...... Dry deeds, speaking official language. ”
Meng was stunned for a moment, and then rubbed his face: "Oh...... Your Majesty, the soldiers have been in obscurity for more than ten years in order to be ashamed of their blood. During the Chongming period, China's territory was greatly reduced, why? Because the first emperor was too merciful! ”
Emperor Chengde has a hard mouth: "Fighting a war is too hard to work and hurt money......"
Lu Baiyan said: "Your Majesty's mercy at this time is - the violence of barbarians on the outside, the heart of injury and death on the inside, if you don't show the prestige of our country at this time, and the turtle is guilty again, how will Your Majesty make the general?" ”
At the end of October of the ninth year of Chengde, Emperor Chengde granted amnesty to the world, sent envoys to the borders of various places to reward the soldiers, accepted Qiuci's request for peace, asked him to withdraw the remaining officials in Broken Moon City, and asked Qiuci to compensate for the expedition of the army.
But after this incident, many ministers set their sights on the crown prince.

Looking south of the river.
Xie Songzhao picked up a secluded corner to sit, Gu Mingchao looked at him inexplicably, Xie Songzhao smiled and said, "Do you guess what the King of Chu should do if he suffers such a big loss?" ”
Gu Ming said: "Fight back? He couldn't fight back, and the old emperor would at most privately reward him with silver to appease him. ”
Xie Songzhao put down the light tea in his hand and said, "No, not in private." ”
Xie Song looked at his round eyes and smiled: "The old emperor wants to make the best use of things...... Use the king of Chu to suppress the crown prince. It's a pity that Emperor Chengde was born at such a good time......"
Gu Mingchao turned the teacup and sighed lightly: "I heard that the King of Chu and the crown prince were the most harmonious. ”
Xie Songzhao listened to the babbling of the finches on the branches, and squinted his eyes: "Yes, I used to take them to the Taqiu River to fish...... But since the old emperor intervened, we are no longer brothers. ”
This night talks about the past, and the sword is hidden in the sheath.
The smell of gunpowder is getting heavier and heavier, and December is finally belated. Xie Songzhao had just put on a big coat and walked to the snowy Xiangfei bamboo, when he heard Yuanxiu shouting: "Princess, the snow road is slippery, you be careful, the prince hasn't gotten up yet!" Princess! ”
Xie Songzhao looked back and saw standing in the heavy snow, his eyes red from the snow.
"Cousin."
Xie Songzhao sighed and went over to coax her into the house.
Guihong listened to the tanuki slave-like whimper under the eaves, and sighed in the direction of the palace.
Xie Songzhao brought Tang Pozi to cover her hands, stroked the top of her head and said, "Shaoyou is a very good person, with his cousin here, he will definitely not bully you." "Shaoyou is Lin Huchen's cousin.
Yun Wan raised his head: "I'm not crying because of this, my marriage is a state affair, not a family affair, what is there to cry about." ”
"I don't have a sweetheart...... I ......"
"I'm for the sake of the concubines, some of the concubines chosen by my father are not as old as me, and they have only been in the palace for less than a month, and Changle is ......"
Xie Songzhao was shocked, the harem was out of his reach, Princess Changle's mother was a concubine, her mother was Nanjun Taishou, and Jingxiang Nine Counties had always been stable, what was this?
"Find out it's Princess Chu! It's not her! Whining...... But my father decreed...... Decree to imprison her! Concubine Xian took off her hairpin and asked for sin...... Please abolish Princess Chu......" Yun Wan cried so much that Xie Songzhao had a complicated gaze, and while giving her a good breath, he called Yuanxiu to come in.
"Shizi." Yuanxiu listened to orders outside the screen.
"Call the maid to take care of the princess, and ask the lord of Shenyue to send the princess back to the palace. Prepare a horse for me, I want to go to the palace of the king of Chu. ”
Xie Songzhao reined in the horse, and the little servant in the palace of Chu stepped forward to hold the reins, "Say hello to the prince, the prince, the prince said, close the door and thank you......" Xie Songzhao threw the horsewhip to him himself.
"Why are you here?" The King of Chu was still the same as he was on the thirteenth floor, but Xie Songzhao couldn't wait to smash his head open to see what paste was inside.
"You were stupid when you were a child, how can you still be used as a gun like this now? You husband and wife are loving, why can't you be an idle king? ”
King Chu got up and rubbed his forehead: "You don't understand." ”
"Fart! You weren't intrigue......" Xie Songzhao swallowed the word "goods" and said, "What are you doing in it?" Pan Du ostensibly took the blame for you, but in reality? ”
"Who wants to lose the taste of power? Why aren't you? Can you say you're not a powerful minister? Isn't the Xie family a minister? ”
If it weren't for the fact that he would be involved in beating the prince, he really wanted to slap him in the face and wake him up, Xie Songzhao slapped the stone table, grinning in pain: "Bastard thing!" What a taste of power, you only taste the taste of defeat! After a pause, he said: "You are destined to become a prince for a long time!" ”
The King of Chu glared at him: "Why? ”
"The Queen Mother is the daughter of the Xie family, the Queen is the daughter of the Xie family, my father is the candidate for the west, and I am the Zuoqing of Honglu Temple! The Xie family can not be a minister, but the premise is that the future new monarch must be the generational order! ”
Generational preface, the prince's table character.
The king of Chu threw out the teacup in his hand and shouted: "I am unwilling! ”
Xie Songzhao was suddenly deflated, he looked at the King of Chu, and he could no longer see the appearance of the child who called him eldest brother at the beginning. He turned around and left, but saw Princess Chu standing under the porch, "Thank you...... Shizi. ”
Xie Song looked at her, only felt that God was playing tricks on people, and a good loving couple had become a resentful couple, he stopped and said, "I know, it's not you." ”
She turned her face away and cried sadly. Everyone knows that it is not her, but everyone has sprinkled their grievances on her, Concubine Xian Niangniang asked her to abolish her, and the king of Chu no longer refuses to look at her directly, no, in fact, earlier, as early as when her father was trapped in the grain draft, she was not the princess of Chu.
Xie Songzhao felt tired, the snow did not fall on his shoulders, but on his heart. The king of Chu watched his back disappear into the corner of the corridor, just like the back of a child who entered the palace to accompany them and wanted to go out before the palace gate was locked......
Gu Mingchao found him under the bamboo of Concubine Xiang, handed him a pot of Yangxian tea, and said, "The New Year's banquet is approaching, and the King of Chu must make a move." ”
Xie Songzhao didn't answer, and said in a dumb voice: "I didn't persuade him." ”
Gu Mingchao said reasonably: "It's not your fault. ”
Xie Songzhao sneered: "Nonsense, of course I know, I mean, Yan is going to usher in the biggest variable in the Chengde years." ”
Gu Mingchao grabbed him and dragged him out: "Don't pick it up, if you pick up the bamboo again, you will be the general of the light pole." He tried his best to stuff him with a soup woman, and then took a big coat and put it on him, and said, "Shouldn't the biggest variable be Emperor Chengde?" He can't still be a demon all day long, obviously the courtiers are capable, but he has to put the family down, you look at that Pan Du, even if there are flaws, but the crime is not so much, he has to stir up the idle king in, just to install his own people in the household department and the military department. ”
Xie Songzhao sneered: "It's impossible, after the Qiuzi peace talks, those who will enter the office in the coming year will not look down on him, and most of them will fall to the prince, and the rest are the elder pavilion, the Taifu, and the scholars have accepted it." ”
Gu Mingchao sighed in a good way: "It's really empty of bamboo baskets, make wedding clothes for others~"
