The third prince was given death, and the second prince was admonished, if anyone is stupid and follows the second prince, he will be asking for his own death.

The eighth prince, Prince Qin, now appears in a high-profile manner on major occasions, not only Emperor Yanchang will take him with him when he meets the ministers, but even the upper court also leads the eight princes.

Prince Qin showed a different performance to the ministers, answering questions fluently, speaking from beginning to end, not to mention how smart he was, at least the eighth prince was also a very studious child.

Some ministers once again played the Son of Heaven and demanded that the Son of Heaven be appointed as a prince as soon as possible.

In this regard, Emperor Yanchang did not express his position, and people such as Li Xiangye had already guessed Emperor Yanchang's thoughts.

After he was grounded, he pondered what Emperor Yanchang thought several times, and the cruel execution of the third prince also convinced him of one thing - the Son of Heaven was not satisfied with his swaying from side to side.

As an emperor, I don't like the minister's ambiguous attitude in the prince and chooses to stand in line.

- The emperor is alive, and the minister wants to stand in line, which one can stand it?

Qin Chu's appearance is actually equivalent to semi-public, after all, if you don't like him, why take him with you? It's just that there is nothing to settle down, so there is no hurry.

He Zhishang didn't care, the little emperor who was high in his previous life was just a child now, and he was still a child who had nothing.

Concubine Rongde relied on the Empress Dowager Ji and was quite favored, and she was old enough to have a son, so it is no wonder that Concubine Rongde can rely on her son to have a different status on the side of Emperor Yanchang.

"The eight princes are clever, and Your Majesty's princes are different."

He Zhishang said politely. If the eighth prince wants to become the crown prince as smoothly as in his previous life, he has a long way to go.

The Eighth Prince folded his hands in front of He Zhishang in a decent manner, "He Yushi, I am polite here." ”

"I've seen the Eighth Prince."

He Zhishang arched his hand.

There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and Emperor Yanchang did not allow him to exempt the prince from courtesy.

"Wei Fu, this kid is too naughty, Concubine De can't control him, this kid lacks a teacher to watch him."

The eighth prince is about to reach the age of enlightenment, and also, his brothers are adults one by two, and he is just a nursing child.

Empress Dowager Ji is in good spirits, looks like she is old, and she is in good health, which is a great disadvantage to Emperor Yanchang, who is bent on making the eighth prince the future prince.

Empress Dowager Ji was ambitious in the first emperor's dynasty, and wanted to meddle in the government several times, if it weren't for the fact that the first emperor was a powerful emperor whose eyes couldn't tolerate sand, it was estimated that Empress Dowager Ji would have to learn from Wu Zetianzhang to listen to the government like Empress Liu.

Whether Empress Dowager Ji has this ability or not is another matter, anyway, her control and restraint of her own son, Emperor Yanchang still remembers it vividly, and he is still in his heart.

If he comes to power with his own grandson, he will be even younger, and the Empress Dowager Ji will definitely go to the front dynasty and refuse to return the power of the court.

Emperor Yanchang did not allow Empress Dowager Ji to do this to his son, and he thought of a way to clear all obstacles for Prince Qin in his lifetime.

It's just that this wish is quite far away, Empress Dowager Ji is strong, deaf and clear-sighted, not sick or painful, and she can't die.

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is young, and he should go to the study to study as usual."

He Zhishang said, "The eight princes and the princes are brothers, and the brotherhood cannot be replaced by others. ”

After Prince Qin ascended the throne, he first courteously treated several princes, and when he arrived at the back, he unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, and settled the account after the autumn.

There was almost a large-scale mutiny, if He Zhishang hadn't calmed down the mutiny, the emperor of Prince Qin would have been ousted.

"You're right, this kid followed a few princes to the study and was taken care of by the Taifu."

Just now, Emperor Yanchang was testing whether He Zhishang intended to be the crown prince, but unfortunately, He Zhishang had no intention and wanted to pull Prince Qin down.

Prince Qin is not suitable for the son of heaven of a country, if he can really change the candidate, he would rather be a generous prince and son of heaven.

Emperor Yanchang defended the defense, and it was not that no one said that the emperor was cowardly. In this case, he prefers those tough princes.

The three princes and the two princes are all such personalities, Emperor Yanchang likes it, they are out of the game with three strikes, and it is the turn of the eighth prince.

"The Taifu is full of wealth, and the knowledge of the Eight Emperors has grown considerably."

He Zhishang looked at the ignorant Qin Chu and meant something.

In his previous life, he was secretly appointed to be the concubine of the Eighth Prince, and when he arrived at the place where the Eighth Prince ascended the throne, he served as the emperor's teacher and auxiliary minister, and he was above 10,000 people under one person.

The knowledge of the eighth prince was taught by him, and every step of the child's growth was inseparable from his care and care.

It's just that in the end, Prince Qin became unrecognizable, only the face of an emperor, and he didn't have the thick condensation of a student.

He Zhishang is not sad about all the good things in the past, he just wants to do more and better.

- Eighth Prince, I'm sorry, I don't want to serve you anymore.

"Father, the Taifu taught me to read the book today, and I read the ...... to my father" The child's crisp voice bloomed in this small world, and burst out with a different brilliance.

He Zhishang obviously noticed that Emperor Yanchang was becoming more and more fond of Qin Chu, and Qin Chu was indeed a good boy who was diligent and loved to read.

"You have to be polite to Lord He, his knowledge and civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty are not comparable to him."

Kong Xiwen and Hu Lun were ranked ahead of him, but Emperor Yanchang only admired He Zhishang.

He Zhi is fluent in business, has sufficient experience, is resolute, conscientious and responsible, and thoughtful, there are not many such people.

"Yes, Father." Qin Chu smiled, "Does He Yushi know anything?" ”

"yes, just ask him."

Emperor Yanchang regarded this exchange as a parent-child interaction, and the monarch and ministers met.

"Then Will He Yushi help me catch dragonflies?"

The fairy tales of the eighth prince Prince Qin suddenly sounded in the ears of Emperor Yanchang.

Emperor Yanchang subconsciously swallowed his saliva, what is this kid talking about? He is not the one who asked He Zhishang to catch dragonflies for the eighth prince.

"Yes, when I was a child, I caught it and played with it."

He Zhishang was neither humble nor arrogant, "At that time, my father took me to play freely on that grass, breathing air, and there were several dragonflies that day, and he caught one for me to play with. The dragonfly flew away after my father died. ”

A bitter childhood past, when He Zhishang talked about it lightly, a faint melancholy lingered in everyone's hearts.

"Weifu's mother is dead, right?"

Emperor Yanchang checked He Zhishang's family, lost his father at a young age, lost his mother, and was raised by his uncle, and he was a child who grew up very hard.

He Zhishang said lightly: "It's been fifteen years since my mother left me. ”

He didn't intend to mention He's mother's life experience, it was just an inconsequential story of Fengyue, just like his life, the past was cloudy, and the stones were moved away one by one.

"That's it, Wei Fu, it's time for you to sweep your mother's grave and worship, I posthumously presented her as Mrs. Yipin Huishu, and then posthumously crowned your father as the Duke of Huaiyang County and the Assassin of Shenzhou, what do you think?"

He Zhishang's hometown is in Shenzhou, and the meaning of such a generous reward is obvious.

He Zhishang knelt down and thanked him, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

His parents relied on him to have a beautiful posthumous affair, and the incense continued, which was also his filial piety for the son of man.

"Okay, Aiqing, I will allow you to visit relatives in Shenzhou, and in addition, your uncle and aunt should also be taken back to Beijing to live for the rest of the year."

Emperor Yanchang smiled. Just taking advantage of this opportunity, He Zhishang inspected the place in a proper manner, and also had his own reason to hide people's eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In any case, he got what he wanted, and he was going to pay homage to his parents' graves.

Emperor He Zhishang's conversation with Emperor Yanchang Qin Chu saw it in his eyes, but he looked ignorant.

The time soon came to the end of the year, the capital was covered with heavy snow, the snow was white, the green mountains in the distance were covered in silver, and the red plum branches were beautiful.

Yuan Lingchao rubbed his hands, He Zhishang went to Shenzhou and did not return to the capital for the New Year She had to write to ask him about the current situation.

Wei Fu personally revealed:

See the words as they are. Jun has been away from Beijing for a few weeks, and I am very worried, and am I safe? Happy or not? And no rice? The tomb of Lingtang poplar Xiao Xiao, there are often flowers blooming, and the king is ......"

Yuan Lingchao roughly said some of what he has seen and heard in these days, such as explaining that the De School officially recruits students, and the process is quite smooth, but the process of communicating with the students' parents is not so wishful, and for example, the Ci'en Hall has too many auxiliary breasts to enroll, so it has to build a Ci'en Hall again.

Immediately after the change of the situation in the capital, the eighth prince was born, which hit the hearts of some people, the relationship between the four princes and the five princes was very good, and the relationship between Concubine Rongde and the Empress Dowager Ji was suspected to have changed, etc.

wrote a lot of articles, and Yuan Lingchao found that he had too many things to say to He Zhishang.

"Miss, my aunt and uncle are back."

Yuan Wanyin hugged Yuan Ruzhang and Chen Zhiyuan back to the British Mansion for the New Year.

At present, the capital is jubilant, and the people are preparing for the New Year's goods, posting couplets, and setting off firecrackers.

The British government also has a couplet, which is handwritten by the British government himself, wishing a smooth spring harvest in the coming year, peace and joy.

According to reliable sources, in some places, heavy snow continued for several days to collapse houses and kill people, in order to control this bad situation, Emperor Yanchang repeatedly ordered local officials to repair the houses and open warehouses to put grain.

Don't forget, the common people rely on this grain to eat, but there are still profiteers who raise prices, and the common people can't buy rice and grain if they have money, and the number of displaced people suddenly increases.

The number of women and children accepted by Yuan Lingchao is too large, which is also the reason.

She thought of a way to give porridge for disaster relief in the capital, and also took the lead in controlling prices and selling rice and grain at low prices to ensure that the people's food and clothing were not a problem.

As soon as she did this, there were many discussions, and with the strong support of the British government, Yuan Lingchao had sold all the rice and grain accumulated in his hands, and his purse was a little fatter.

Using this money, Yuan Lingchao helped to treat the homeless, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good.

Those homeless people were grateful and praised Yuan Lingchao.

Yuan Lingchao only thinks that he has done what he should do, not why, just to have peace of mind.

The British public also supports Yuan Lingchao's approach, and the people of the Yuan family should put themselves in the shoes of the people, how can they sit back and enjoy their successes and be content with pleasure?

Yuan Ling was overheaded, and other businessmen did not dare to follow the trend and commit crimes, so they could only do serious business honestly.
