Ying Tianfu, Han Wangfu.

This Han Palace, which has been vacant for more than ten years, has become lively again with the arrival of the Zhengtong Dynasty.

People like officials, aristocrats or businessmen who know more or less and want more, today's Han Wangfu has become their coveted existence.

Before King Wu was in Yunnan, almost no one was optimistic, because in the eyes of the world, being a vassal was basically equivalent to giving up the possibility of competing for the throne.

But no one thought that King Wu would fight his way out of the encirclement with only one Zhu Zhan and come to this point.

However, it was a little too late to stand in the right line at the beginning, and now it is a little late to stand in line.

And for ordinary people, this once down-and-out Han Wangfu has now become their hope.

This person is cheap.

When he accompanied Emperor Taizong to the north, Zhu Zhanyan tried his best to override public opinion and slaughter the thief Kou to build a view of Beijing, which brought a different beam of light to the Ming Dynasty, a dynasty that has always shown the world with benevolence and righteousness.

At that time, all the people saw the dawn of no longer being bullied by foreigners, and even not needing to go to war.

So in those two years, Zhu Zhanyan's reputation was unprecedentedly high, but later, with the gradual strengthening of the Ming Dynasty, people began to fear war, or should it be said that they were afraid of their relatives going to war.

At this time, Zhu Zhanyan, who had been conquering for many years, became the person they opposed.

And now, the death of Emperor Zhu Zhanji in battle let people know that they can be afraid of war and can oppose Zhu Zhanji, who has been fighting for many years, but they also really need a tough person to the outside world.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhu Zhan's reputation and his ability to deter the Quartet, the emperor's death this time would definitely bring unpredictable consequences.

It's like a sudden hypothermia.

After Mahamu was defeated, he hurriedly took the family money left to him by his grandfather and escaped from Hulan and lost his temperature.

According to the normal situation, Warat was defeated, and according to the promise made by Mahamu and Zhu Zhanji before the war, they would retreat to the north of the Nannan River, and not only would they not be able to cross the Nan River, but they would not even reopen the closed mutual market.

And now, after receiving the news of Zhu Zhanji's death, they also quickly led people back to Hulan and hypothermia.

Because he knows that the current Ming Dynasty coincides with the death of the first emperor, there will be no time in the short term, and there is no strength to take care of him, and the only person who can manage him is not in the Ming Dynasty now.

Because of this, the people realized that they were wrong, completely wrong, and Zhu Zhanyan, who they had opposed and even scolded, was still protecting them all the time.

Perhaps, Zhu Zhanyan didn't do this intentionally, but you have to admit that you were shaded by others.

This let them know how important Zhu Zhanyan, or people like Zhu Zhanyan, are to them, but by the time they found out, it was too late.

Zhu Zhanqi...... I won't be coming back for the time being.

"Do you understand?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Fan Zhong in front of him, his face was serious, and he had a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

"The villain understands." Fan Zhong lowered his head slightly, but the words he said made Zhu Gaoxu frown.

In fact, although he didn't sit in that position, in fact, almost everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew that the Wu Wang lineage was now a name.

Starting from Chen Xun, more and more officials will call themselves ministers when they see Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanyu, rather than the original subordinate or villain.

Don't look at it as just a name, but the meaning contained in it is very different.

Since ancient times, the emperor is the king, the prince is the king, and the grandson is the king......

In short, theoretically speaking, only the eldest son of the emperor and the eldest son of the emperor will be the successor to the throne, while the others ...... They are all ministers.

Zhu Gaoxu is the same.

He is the king of Wu of the Ming Dynasty, the second son of Emperor Taizong, and his son has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and it is even comparable to the great cause of Emperor Taizu Gao's founding of the country.

However, he is still a minister because he lacks one thing, and the one thing he lacks is what he has been fighting for in the early years.

However, with the rise to power of the Wu Wang line, people understand who is in charge of the Ming Dynasty, so when facing the Wu Wang line, their self-proclaimed names will naturally change.

In the past, Zhu Gaoxu didn't care, and even felt that they were a little flattering, but after he got used to it, he couldn't help but feel a little harsh when he suddenly heard Fan Zhong call himself a villain.

It seems that this Fan Zhong ...... He is really as loyal as his name suggests......

"Go ahead." Zhu Gaoxu didn't care, just a title, but he suddenly didn't get used to it after getting used to it.

He admits that he is a hypocrite, and he also likes those who naturally change their names, and whose flattery still satisfies the needs of his heart.

However, he is not hypocritical to the point of Song Taizu.

"The villain quits." Fan Zhong cherished his words like gold and bowed to leave.

Actually, this is a very good quality, such as when the martial saint Guan Yu was in Cao Ying's heart in Han,

However, it has to be said that this good quality is not applicable all the time.

Well, it doesn't mean you can eat at all times.

Of course, all this depends on his own choice.

"Why do you have to send him there?" With Fan Zhong leaving, Princess Wu also slowly walked in from outside.

It's not that she's eavesdropping, but because she already knew that her husband was going to send Fan Zhong over.

"He's just buying time." Zhu Gaoxu smiled slightly, beckoned, and asked the attendants on the side to move the stool to make tea.

"Oh?" Princess Wu hesitated for a moment, and pulled her daughter-in-law behind her to sit down.

"Whoa." Zhu Gaoxu smiled and took a letter from the side and put it in front of his wife.

Princess Wu frowned as she looked at the signature on the envelope, but finally picked it up.

"This ......" Princess Wu looked at the letter in her hand, her brows furrowed, and there was a little hesitation in her tone, but there was also some certainty.

"It's not what sister-in-law meant, right?"

As she spoke, Princess Wu handed the letter to her daughter-in-law next to her, and her eyes were still on her husband.

"Naturally not, if it were, it wouldn't be signed with Zhang Fu's name." Zhu Gaoxu smiled and glanced at his daughter-in-law with a vague look.

"If the sister-in-law knew, then we should have known a long time ago, and the fact that this letter appeared in front of us just happened to show that the sister-in-law didn't know."

"Zhang Fu is still relatively pure, he is old now, and he doesn't want to be involved in those complicated things anymore, so all he wants is stability, which is why this letter appeared in front of us."

"Well, that's how it should be, but ......" Princess Wu took the letter back from her daughter-in-law's hand and put it back in the envelope.

"Sister-in-law too, I have to let this Sun Ruowei ......"

Halfway through her words, Princess Wu stopped, not because there was something she couldn't say, but because she also thought of her sister-in-law's difficulties.

She originally wanted to say, why does her sister-in-law have to let this Sun Ruowei become the queen, isn't it good to be a fellow Hu Shanxiang with Hu Shanshu's mother? was obviously a virtuous concubine at the beginning, but now she ended up in a cold palace.

But think about it, after no fault and made Sun Ruowei the queen, isn't the reason why she gave birth to Zhu Zhanji's first and only son?

Is it possible to bypass Sun Ruowei and make Hu Shanxiang the queen mother while Zhu Qizhen ascends the throne and succeeds to the throne?

This is obviously impossible.

"But then again, this auxiliary ......" Princess Wu was silent for a short moment, and then spoke again.

"Actually, it's hard for him, the old minister of the Three Dynasties...... Now that the Fourth Dynasty is here, it still has to face such a situation......"

"Who said it wasn'......" Zhu Gaoxu also sighed when he heard this.

……

Shuntianfu, the Ministry of Officials.

"Back to the Queen Mother, it's not that the ministers don't want to, but this matter is not up to the officials to decide, if you don't believe it......"

Chen Xun raised his head as he spoke, with an indescribable smile, and under Sun Ruowei's gaze, he picked up the seal of the ministry on the side and slowly stamped it on the holy decree.

"The seal of the Ministry of Rites has been stamped, you can take it to the Ministry of Rites."

Sun Ruowei looked at Chen Xun, who was confident in front of her, she already knew that her idea could not succeed at this time, but she still couldn't swallow this breath.

finally got to where she is now, but no one listened to her from top to bottom, which made her unacceptable.

Perhaps, what she can't accept is not that no one in the court listens to her, because this is normal, what she can't accept is that these people in the court who don't listen to her have the shadow of Zhu Zhanyan behind them.

In Sun Ruowei's life, since the moment she entered the palace, her life has been full of Zhu Zhanyan's shadow.

Zhu Zhanji has always been compared with Zhu Zhanji, the same, her original ......

Oh no, she wasn't even the princess at the beginning, the princess was Hu Shanxiang, and her grandson Ruowei was just a concubine.

But because of this, Sun Ruowei always thought that Hu Shanxiang could cross her relationship with Zhu Zhanji for more than ten years and become the princess, which was the reason for Zhu Zhanji.

In fact, although Sun Ruowei was called the demon queen by later generations of netizens, she was able to be sent to the palace at a young age, and she must have received corresponding teachings.

Why did Emperor Taizong suddenly intervene and forcibly make Hu Shanxiang the concubine? Not only Sun Ruowei, many people think that there is a reason for Zhu Zhanyan here.

After all, who doesn't know that the current princess of King Wu was personally sent to Yunnan by Emperor Taizong who asked Emperor Hongxi, who was still the crown prince at the time?

Thinking of this, Sun Ruowei, who was already the queen mother, became more and more uncomfortable, snorted coldly, and left the ministry with Chen Xun's stamped holy decree.

Behind her, Chen Xun was still smiling.

It's just that smile...... Full of ridicule.
