Zhang Lu was afraid that there would be some misunderstanding between the two sides, and it would be difficult for him to do it at that time, so he stood directly in front of Xu Haoyuan, and at the same time turned around and comforted: "I am here, don't worry."

With this sentence alone, Xu Haoyuan's heart was a lot more relieved, and he didn't know how much ecstasy soup Zhang Lu had poured into her recently.

Only then did he appease Xu Haoyuan, Zhang Zhen arched his hand towards the thousand-faced man again, and said, "Senior brother, what kind of wind blew you to Moss Village? It's not like I'm talking about you, this is a place for beggars, isn't it good for you to lead people to break through like this?"

The Man of Thousand Faces pursed his lips and said, "You think I'm willing to break in? Not to find you kid? Hurry up! Come with me!"

Although the thousand-faced man was frolicking and playful on weekdays, it was the first time for Zhang Zhen to see him so anxious, and Zhang Zhen immediately asked, "But what happened?"

The Thousand Faces frowned and shook his head, "The stakes are high, this is not the place to talk."

The chamberlain on the side also hurriedly spoke: "Zhang Baihu, hurry up, Your Majesty is still waiting for you in the imperial study."

Zhu Yuanzhang summoned himself? And also used the brocade guard, that must be a big deal.

Zhang Lu nodded to the waiter, then turned to Xu Haoyuan and said, "Miss Xu, I'll deal with some important things first, and the unfinished story can only be told in two days."

Coming to find someone to have such a big battle, Xu Haoyuan naturally knew that there must be something important, but she didn't care about anything important, she was only afraid that Zhang Hao would encounter any danger.

The nine generations of elders of the beggar gang are already very beautiful in the rivers and lakes, but in front of the court, this nine-bag elder is worthless, and Xu Haoyuan also knows that he can't help Zhang Lu, so he can only open his mouth and instruct: "Pay attention to safety."

Zhang Zhen nodded, and followed the waiter out of the moss village.

The thousand-faced man deliberately stayed at the back, and he looked at Xu Haoyuan with interest.

This also made Xu Haoyuan unhappy, but she also heard Zhang Lu just shouting senior brother to the thousand-faced man, so she didn't have a seizure.

Who knew that the thousand-faced man arched his hand and said, "There is a reason why I broke into Moss Village without reporting it today, I am here to compensate you, but I have nothing to compensate, or let my unsuccessful junior brother accompany you more?"

Before Xu Haoyuan could reply, the thousand-faced man turned around and left, and he seemed to be muttering to himself: "There are so many officials and young ladies in Ying Tianfu, and my junior brother has not taken a fancy to any of them, but this girl from Moss Village is really good, no wonder this kid runs here every day."

The thousand-faced man did not lower his voice when he spoke, and the last few words made Xu Haoyuan's face flush when he heard it.

The group marched forward on horseback, and Zhang Lu also took this opportunity to come to the man of a thousand faces, and asked, "Senior brother, what happened?"

The person in front of him had a serious face and said, "The prince has fallen."

Zhang Lu didn't understand, and asked again, "Xue Luo? What do you mean?"

The thousand-faced man shook his head helplessly, "I've heard a long time ago that you don't have any culture and don't know how to learn, I didn't believe it before, but now I really believe it. The prince is gone!"

Is the crown prince dead? In fact, there is not much intersection between Zhang Zhen and the prince, the biggest impression that the prince gives him is that he always has a gentle smile, and the other is that he is old and sick, Zhang Zhen remembers that a few days ago Yun Wei said that his father was much better than before, and it didn't take long, how can you say that it is gone?

….

Xu is nerves are relatively big, and he doesn't know what it means for the prince to fall now, and all he can think of now is whether Zhu Yunwen will be too sad.

The group entered the palace, and the thousand-faced man and the inner attendant were guarding the door of the imperial study, but Zhang Lu entered in a grand manner.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang only summoned three or five courtiers in the imperial study, but today he summoned a lot. The chief officer of the six departments of the three provinces, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the Dali Temple, the Imperial History of the Left Capital, and the Governor of the Left Army are among them.

Now the imperial study seems to be a little crowded.

Zhang Yan was already late, and he didn't say much, so he just found a position near the corner to stand.

He looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang on the main seat, but saw Zhu Yuanzhang holding the table with one hand and holding it with the other

On his forehead, his face was very haggard, as if he was ten years old.

If his aura fades, he is now just an old man who has lost his beloved son.

But after all, he is the king of the Ming Dynasty, and no one in the lowly courtiers will treat him as an old man who has lost his beloved son, and no one will feel pity for him.

I only heard Zhao Mian, the secretary of the household department, come out and say: "Your Majesty, now that the crown prince has fallen, in order to stabilize the court situation, please immediately determine the successor and the new crown prince."

Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled a breath of turbidity, raised his eyes and looked at the ministers, and then said weakly: "The prince has just left, so you will let me be the new candidate for the prince?" This is my business, so I won't bother with all Aiqing!"

Zhao Mian straightened his chest and said, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't have family affairs, your affairs are all state affairs!" Since it is a state affair, we should make a decision as soon as possible in order to avoid extraneous complications!"

As soon as Zhao Mian's words came out, many courtiers below echoed him.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the hand holding his forehead, no one noticed, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he only heard Zhu Yuanzhang ask: "Okay, since it is a state matter, then we will discuss it well, I don't know who you Aiqing thinks can be qualified for the position of prince?"

This proposal was originally put forward by Zhao Mian, and at this moment he was the first to speak: "Since ancient times, there has been a way to establish a successor, and Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, is your second son, and his mother is also the late Empress Xiaoci Gao, according to the ancient system, the king of Qin should enter the position of the crown prince."

As soon as Zhao Mian's words fell, Zhan Hui, the secretary of the ministry, said: "Zhao Shangshu's words are inappropriate, although the identity of the king of Qin has not been said, but the concubine of the king of Qin is the sister of Timur, if the king of Qin is the crown prince, how can my Han dynasty preserve the purity of the bloodline?" Moreover, the King of Qin had many mistakes in the fiefdom, and the people here must also know that the King of Qin has neither talent nor virtue, how can he succeed to the position of the prince? Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there are many places to implement the new policy, we don't have to patrol the ancient system, the position of the prince naturally must be based on virtue and ability, although the prince has fallen, but the king of Ruchang County is the grandson of His Majesty, the prince's son-in-law, and he is righteous and courageous, and he can be the prince of the country!"

As soon as Zhan Hui's words fell, Lan Yu gave him a thumbs up in the dark.

Lan Yu, as the uncle of Zhu Yunxi, the king of Runan County, naturally supports Zhu Yunxi as the crown prince, so that he can also fight for the most benefits for their Lan family, and Lan Yu also secretly contacted many courtiers, this Zhan Hui is one of them.

Although the canonization of the crown prince is a national event, how can Zhu Yuanzhang be in this mood now? He waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about this later."

Night rivers and lakes.
