"The Eighth Emperor Brother was young, and he was playing in the Luohuang Pond in the princess's mansion, but the ice was too thin, so he fell into the water. What I saw with my own eyes when this incident happened was not the prince alone, but the second emperor's brother. You can actually blame the prince for this, what is your purpose for such sinister intentions towards the prince? Yuan Rui said.

Emperor Jinghe's face was cold, "This rumor has already made people stop, and I declare that whoever rumors it again, I will be severely punished." Ling Aiqing, why did you mention it again? ”

"Your Majesty, it is only because of the many ominous things that happened after the prince returned to the palace that the minister thought about it more." Zhang Hongwen said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is a fact that the crown prince's leg is crippled. Your Majesty, Da'an can't have a prince with a crippled leg! Another courtier also said.

For a time, several ministers seconded the proposal.

Emperor Jinghe's face was ugly, but he saw Liu Shiyuan slowly stand up.

"Your Majesty, the eldest son's recovery from his leg injury is not yet known, Zhang Xiang and other courtiers have said that the prince's leg is disabled, so sinister and disgusting, it is really embarrassing. It is even more ridiculous to inflict other princes' accidents on the crown prince. ”

Zhang Hongwen was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look at Liu Shiyuan.

He thought that even if Liu Shiyuan was neutral, he would not intercede for the prince.

From the moment Yuan Qi heard Liu Shiyuan speak, he knew that his uncle's move could not be done.

"The prince's leg injury has been diagnosed and treated by the doctor, and it has not been fundamentally injured, and it is only a matter of time before it heals, so you don't have to worry too much." Jinghe Emperor's Road.

When the emperor said this, he probably did not agree to abolish the crown prince.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word." Qi Wenyu slowly stood up and said.

"Qi Aiqing, please speak."

"Your Majesty, there have been countless virtuous monarchs and wise men who have been disabled since ancient times. Emperor Xiao of the Great Chen Dynasty was the One-Eyed Emperor, who established the Great Chen Dynasty and was loved by the people. Emperor Xia Hui of the previous dynasty was also inconvenient to walk, he reigned for 30 years, was industrious, and was known as the Holy Monarch. ”

"The crown prince is the queen's concubine, and the royal family is orthodox. After serving as the crown prince, he first presided over the Faguang Temple Dharma and built a new golden body of the Buddha. Nowadays, the incense of Faguang Temple continues, and the people's lives are becoming richer and richer, and they all recite the merits of the emperor and the prince. ”

"This time, the prince personally sent Princess Ruyu to the north and reached peace talks with the king of the north, Huguoer, and the border pass is now in turmoil, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The prince worked tirelessly to comfort the border soldiers and people, and the border soldiers all remembered the emperor's grace. ”

"Your Majesty, now that the assassin who assassinated the prince has not yet been found, Da'an is in a hurry to abolish the meritorious prince because of the prince's leg injury, if it spreads, wouldn't it make the people and the soldiers of the world chill."

As soon as Qi Wenyu's words came out, all the ministers were silent.

Zhang Hongwen was unwilling, and he was busy and wanted to list it again and say "the emperor's ......"

"Zhong Aiqing doesn't need to say much, although the prince has a crippled leg, but after being made a prince, he is diligent and prudent, and he has contributed to the court. I have high hopes for the Crown Prince. As for the prince falling into the water one after another, it was an accident, and if anyone said more, I would definitely punish the prince with alarmist slander, and I would not tolerate it. "Jinghe Emperor.

As soon as Emperor Jinghe said this, the other ministers didn't dare to say more, and they all buried their heads in silence.

"I will discuss another matter with Zhong Aiqing." Jinghe Emperor's Road.

"All my princes are beginning to grow up, and I plan to make a royal mansion for all the princes, what do you think?" Emperor Jing He asked.

"The emperor is sage, all the princes have grown up, and it is in accordance with the will of heaven to establish a palace, and the ministers will obey the order." Liu Shiyuan, Zhang Hongwen and others were busy.

"Since the ministers have no objections, it is so decided." Emperor Jinghe said, "Le Aiqing, you set the titles of the princes, and then give me a decision." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu An said: "The ministers obey the order." ”

"Zhong Aiqing, do you still have something to do?" Jinghe Emperor's Road.

"Father, the son has something to do."

"You say."

"Father, Erchen went to the north to send off his relatives this time, passed through many border cities along the way, Erchen found that the border defense of the city in the north is very tight, and each city has a watchtower, and the watchtower is several zhang high, and you can see the situation hundreds of miles away from standing on the tower with a long-distance vision. Returning, several cities in Da'an do not have plain watchtowers. ”

"When Erchen inspected Snow Wolf City, Langzhou, and Jiaozi City, he felt that if a watchtower was built in several cities on this side, each city would help each other and form a defensive line with information. If he commits another offense in the north one day, I am not afraid. ”

"Your proposal has been mentioned before, but at that time, Langzhou was chaotic, Jiaozi City was in the hands of the north, Heiyulin was rampant with bandits, and the border war was raging, so I didn't have the energy to do this. Now that the border is peaceful, it can be put on the agenda. "Jinghe Emperor.

It's just that now the treasury is empty, this winter is colder than usual, and the frost north of the Yuyuan River is serious.

Wang Youyi of the household department knew this matter best, and when he heard the prince say that the tower should be built, he stepped aside, but he didn't dare to answer at all.

"If the emperor thinks it is okay, the retainer will ask the fortifier to draw a general plan of the design of the watchtower for the emperor to see, and as for the money, the retainer will find a way to raise it." Yuanyou Road.

Emperor Jinghe looked at Yuanyou and thought to himself that his son dared to say that the money was raised by him?

"I'll leave this matter to you." Jinghe Emperor's Road.

"Yes, Father." Yuan You replied.

The ministers muttered in their hearts, and then realized that the emperor's heart was in the crown prince at all, and they were busy in vain.

After the early dynasty, Yuanyou went to see Emperor Jinghe again.

"You'er, the construction of the watchtower is naturally excellent, but you say that you will raise the money, which is too exaggerated." Jinghe Emperor's Road.

"Father, the son has already thought of a way to raise money." Yuanyou Road.

"And let the rich gentry of the clan donate money? I'm afraid you'll only have a limited amount of money to raise this time. "Jinghe Emperor.

"This is on the one hand, Erchen wants to build a trade route from Dong'an City to Shenmutong and then to Black Scorpion City, and sell my Da'an's silk, tea, dry salt and other goods to the north."

Emperor Jinghe became interested when he heard it, "Talk about it......"

Yuan You continued, "Now that Snow Wolf City, Flying Dragon City, and Da Xian City have opened a mutual market, they need our Da'an's tea, silk, white salt and other things. Building a watchtower is not a day's work, but the success of business can begin at the beginning of spring. ”

Emperor Jinghe's expression was slightly awe-inspiring when he heard this, and he also felt that his son's words were reasonable.

"Zijiu took over the Annan Textile Factory before, and after they changed the textile machine, they can produce hundreds of silk cloths every day, which is not uncommon in Da'an, but in the north, it is a rare thing for the people."

Ananda also studied the method of colorless glass, and Zongzhou and Guanzhou can produce colorless glass. Father, the court is like sending salt to send these skills to powerful imperial merchants, so why worry about not being able to raise silver! ”

"It turns out that you have a measure in your heart, and I am very pleased." Emperor Jinghe suddenly found that he had always underestimated DDK'er, and he was so successful in his heart.

Thinking that today in the court, there is no need for Ning Zijiu to say more, Liu Shiyuan, Qi Wenyu and others all support him.

You'er has only been the crown prince for a few months, and she is already so prestigious?
