Emperor Xuande wanted to drive the expedition in person.

As soon as this news came out, it can be said that the whole world was shocked.

Who doesn't know if the royal family is still a mess now? The grievances between the prince's lineage and the Hanwang lineage, from Yongle to Hongxi to Xuande, have never been resolved.

Even if the situation is relatively clear now, Zhu Zhanji is still the emperor on the surface after all.

At this time, isn't that just sending him to death?

Besides, now that your queen has been abolished and your son is also gone, you just need to boil it slowly in the future, unless King Wu directly lifts the table regardless of face and reputation, otherwise it will not be your victory in the end?

However, this is only the opinion of those who are among the people.

Up and down the court, no matter which side of the people, no matter whether they were careful or not, they all chose to shut up at this time.

The reason is simple, the result of a random round of such a thing is not something they can afford.

If you dare to talk nonsense about this thing, then you really rush out to be a substitute for the dead ghost, and directly come to the last Nine Clans to have fun.

It's just that it's their nine clans that are eliminated, but it's others who are happy.

Suncheonfu, Imperial Palace, Inshou Palace.

Since Zhu Zhanji took over the power of the imperial court and the Ming Dynasty, this is the second time that Hu Shanxiang has left the scope of Qingning Palace, and she has been accompanying her husband Zhu Zhanji before, basically leaving Qingning Palace for half a step.

Previously, she also wanted to come out, after all, no one likes to be under house arrest, but she didn't expect that by the time she came out, everything had changed.

"Second sister, eat a little ......"

Hu Shanshu looked at her second sister with some mixed feelings in her heart.

In fact, since Zhu Zhanyan took over Shuntian and Daming, Hu Shanshu also came to this Shuntian Mansion with the arrival of Zhu Zhanyan.

But from the day they came, the two sisters have only met twice.

Today, it's the third time.

The first time was on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, when the palace sacrificed to the Sheji altar and the Taimiao.

The second time, when Zhu Zhanji was under house arrest in Qingning Palace, Hu Shanxiang once went to Hu Shanshu to intercede on the pretext of going to see his sister, trying to get Hu Shanshu to help say good things.

But the results can be imagined.

From the day she arrived in Yunnan, to her marriage with Zhu Zhanyan, to her coming to Shuntian, Hu Shanshu has never interfered in Zhu Zhanyan's affairs, even if she knows many things, even more than Chen Xun.

But as long as Zhu Zhanyan didn't open her mouth to let her express her opinion, Hu Shanshu never said half a word related to it.

has never even opened his mouth about trivial matters, and has never even asked for any benefit for his mother's family, how can Hu Shanshu be soft-hearted at such a sensitive moment?

It's not that her heart is too hard, but because she also knows that even if she goes to find Zhu Zhanyan, the ending will not change in any way.

But Hu Shanshu never thought that the two sisters had not met again since then, even if they were in the palace, and the two of them did not meet as many times as they met their eldest sisters.

When they met again, Hu Shanxiang had already become a deposed queen from the high-ranking queen, and was driven to Chang'an Palace to become a nun.

"Third sister ......" Hu Shanxiang raised his head, his eyes were hazy with tears.

"The second sister knows that the previous request was too much for the second sister, but this time, can you ......"

Speaking of this, Hu Shanxiang couldn't stop crying.

But......

"I'm sorry, second sister ......" Hu Shanshu's expression was bitter.

"It's not that my sister doesn't want to help you, it's just that in the current situation, sister, you also know that Your Majesty is bound to take the royal conquest in person......"

"Besides, that Sun Guifei ......"

In the last sentence, Hu Shanshu had just started when she was covered by her second sister.

Sun Guifei is already in the past, and now Sun Ruowei, whoever sees her has to salute and call her a queen.

Hu Shanshu knew what her second sister was worried about, so she didn't continue, but her eyes were full of disdain when she looked in the direction of Qingning Palace.

Dogs fight human power, Sun Ruowei can be said to interpret these four words vividly.

In the past, when she saw Hu Shanxiang in the palace, she had to lower her head and hold her tail, and even when she met Hu Shanxiang and Hu Shanshu's eldest sister Hu Shanwei, she had to be polite.

But now, even when she saw Hu Shanshu, Sun Ruowei was arrogant, just because the current prince, the future prince, and even the emperor came out of her belly.

Hu Shanxiang is afraid, but Hu Shanshu is not afraid, the reason why he doesn't say it is just that he doesn't want his second sister to worry.

As the main room of Zhu Zhan Yan, Hu Shanshu must be humble and polite in front of outsiders, otherwise it will not be her Hu Shanshu's face that will be lost, but Zhu Zhan Yan, the face of the entire Wu Wang.

But being humble and polite does not mean being patient in everything and being a man with his tail between his legs.

As Zhu Zhan's main room, when he should be strong, he has to stand up, and if he wants to have a straight face, everyone has to tremble.

There is already his second sister in it, coupled with the arrogance of Sun Ruowei this time, if Hu Shanshu didn't know his father-in-law's plan, I am afraid that Sun Ruowei would have been educated a long time ago.

In the palace, there are two people who can educate Sun Ruowei, one is on the surface, and the other is practical.

The one on the bright side is naturally the Empress Dowager Zhang, who is Sun Ruowei's mother-in-law after all.

As for the actual one, it is Hu Shanshu.

When the Empress Dowager Zhang was still the crown princess, the empress dowager of Emperor Taizong died, and since then, the Zhang family, who was still the crown princess, took over the entire harem, and all the trivial matters of the harem were in her charge.

At that time, not to mention the concubines of Emperor Hongxi, even the concubines of her father-in-law, Emperor Taizong, were all respectful when they saw her, and obediently saluted and shouted that the princess was blessed and healthy.

And now, although the name is not justified, Hu Shanshu is already the Zhang family of the year.

"Okay, second sister, don't embarrass the third sister."

When the two sisters, Hu Shanxiang and Hu Shanshu, were crying and comforting the other, a voice sounded from the direction of the door.

"Eldest sister, you're here." Hu Shanshu immediately got up.

Hu Shanwei, the female official of the Shanggong Bureau, is their eldest sister, and Hu Shanshu was also called over.

"Third sister, you go get busy first." Hu Shanwei bowed slightly.

Although she is an older sister, Hu Shanshu is also the princess of King Wu, and may even be a ...... in the future

Sisters return to sisters, and the ceremony cannot be abolished.

"Then the second sister will be handed over to the eldest sister, and I still have something to deal with over there."

Hu Shanshu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to her eldest sister.

"I asked the Shang Food Bureau to prepare some porridge and side dishes, if the eldest sister and the second sister are hungry, let people pass it on, and I will leave first."

As he spoke, Hu Shanshu bowed her head slightly and walked out of the room.

Watching his attendant slowly close the door, Hu Shanshu let out a long breath.

The second sister of her own family looked for herself, went to say good things to His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, and even to His Royal Highness King Wu, and asked for nothing else, but at least to save her husband's life.

However, Hu Shanshu can't do this.

Yes, that's right, Hu Shanxiang's husband, that is, Emperor Xuande, was given a life.

Just ask, who would have thought that the emperor, who sits in a position of supreme power and is above tens of thousands of people, would one day need to beg others to spare his life?

But that's what the unthinkable is happening.

Everything in this world has a price, whether it is good or bad, whether it is gained or paid.

First abolished, and then the crown prince, if the king of Wu did not get other benefits, it would be absolutely impossible to let this kind of thing happen.

Since it happened, it means that Wu Wang Yimai has been rewarded to his satisfaction.

After the abolition, the reserve is established.

This seems to be one thing, but in fact it is two things, and King Wu has got two different chips.

said that it was abolished, but it actually referred to Sun Ruowei's son Zhu Qizhen, after all, without the acquiescence of King Wu, Zhu Qizhen would not have been born smoothly in this deep palace.

Now, Zhu Qizhen was born smoothly, and as a bargaining chip that she had negotiated with Zhu Gaoxu, the Empress Dowager Zhang will issue an edict soon, allowing Zhu Zhandong, the third son of Emperor Hongxi, to go to Guangxi to take up the domain.

The earliest concubines of Emperor Hongxi who were divided were Zhu Zhanyong, the second son of Emperor Hongxi, who was put in Yingtianfu, and now Zhu Zhanyong, the third son of Emperor Hongxi......

What King Wu got in the matter of the abolition of the queen was that all the sons of Emperor Hongxi left Shuntian Mansion except for Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji.

In the matter of establishing a prince, King Wu got another bargaining chip, that is, Emperor Xuande's imperial expedition.

If it hadn't been said a long time ago, Zhu Qizhen would definitely not have been able to get out of the door of the delivery room, even if he had mixed it up by deception first, the abolished edict would definitely not have been passed by the Ministry of Rites.

Not to mention the matter of Lichu.

Of course, King Wu's lineage will naturally not be such a simple matter as Emperor Xuande's personal conquest.

If it is just a royal expedition, if Emperor Xuande wins the battle in this imperial expedition, it will help Emperor Xuande's prestige to recover.

Although Zhu Gaoxu's brain is not as good as his son's aura, he will not do such a stupid thing.

Since it is a royal expedition, it is normal to be injured, and since it is injured, then ......

In short, in the conditions given by Zhu Gaoxu, there can only be one king in Shuntianfu.

The emperor and the crown prince are both kings, and this is a conflict.

"All taken care of?"

Thinking about the things in her heart, Hu Shanshu didn't notice that there was a person standing at the gate outside the human pill, and she was startled the moment the person spoke.

But he quickly regained his composure.

"Back to the mother, it's all dealt with." Hu Shanshu lowered her head and walked behind Princess Wu.

"Well, just take care of it." Princess Wu nodded, and walked outside.

Hu Shanshu did not hesitate and kept up.

"Previously, although Zhan Yan repeatedly said that he didn't want to be the emperor, but now that our family has come to this point, it will be difficult to turn back."

"You are the main room of Zhan Yan, and the most unfortunate thing in the future is that she will be a princess Wu, so you have to know what you should and shouldn't do."

"If you can't do this, you can't even reach the threshold of a virtuous helper, and when the time comes, your second sister's today will be your tomorrow."

"Daughter-in-law knows......" Hu Shanshu lowered her head and obediently followed behind Princess Wu.

A person who is kind may not be really kind, because there is a specific group of people who are kind.

It's like Princess Wu, she is kind to her husband and kind to her son, but ......

It's true that Hu Shanshu is her daughter-in-law, but in this era, a daughter-in-law cannot be regarded as her own family, not to mention that her daughter-in-law and a second sister are in the hostile camp.

If you want to get the satisfaction of Princess Wu, her mother-in-law, Hu Shanshu still has a long way to go.
