Liaodong Province was governed in Shenyang, but the Liaodong Navy Division was in Jinzhou (now Dalian), and it took about 20 days to travel by land from Beiping.

On the eighth day of Zhu Jinghong's departure, that is, on May 30, Zhu Jinghong and his entourage left Shanhaiguan and officially set foot on the land of Liaodong.

It was also on this day that a major event happened in the capital.

According to the current system, a large pilgrimage meeting is held on the first day of each month, and a regular pilgrimage is held on the tenth and twentieth days of the first lunar month.

As for Japan and Korea, it has been a long time ago, and it is difficult to hear this talk now.

But on the day of May 30, the emperor convened a grand court meeting for the first time and announced a major event in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

Since the beginning of June, the crown prince has been in charge of the country, and officials of the fourth rank and below have been promoted and punished, and expenses of less than 500,000 taels have been handled by the prince.

The emperor himself took the emperor to the palace of Baiyun Mountain to escape the summer, and at the same time devoted himself to handling military affairs.

The edict was issued, and the Manchu Dynasty was shocked, all of this came too suddenly.

The emperor was going to the palace to escape the summer, which was something that everyone knew, but they didn't expect that the crown prince would be in charge of the country.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the officials communicated with each other more frequently, just because this was indeed a great change.

And for the matter itself, some people are happy and some are worried.

The most sorrowful thing is the party of King Rui, the crown prince's imprisonment of the country is tantamount to a heavy blow to them, which almost makes their mentality collapse.

But everyone didn't know that as the biggest beneficiary of this incident, the crown prince Zhu Jingyuan was also very sad.

After reading the transcript for so many years, he suddenly wants to let him review the transcript, and the changes in the meantime make it difficult for him to adapt for a while.

The situation of meeting the emperor after the dispersal of the dynasty still appeared in front of him at this moment, and his father's serious face and strict requirements made him feel frightened.

Zhu Jingyuan was full of ambition and was self-adjusting, Yuan Chun walked into the study and reminded in a soft tone: "Your Highness, the scholars are waiting to see you!" ”

"Hmm...... I know! Zhu Jingyuan nodded.

"Your Highness, my father asked you to supervise the country, this is a trust in you, and now with the assistance of all the scholars, you will definitely be competent!"

Yuan Chun knew best what the prince needed, so he would give encouragement at this time, she was indeed a qualified wife.

Holding his wife's hand and looking at the other party's warm smile, Zhu Jingyuan suddenly had some confidence.

"Good...... I'll see them now! ”

Regarding the affairs of supervising the country, there are many things that need to be discussed, and Zhu Jingyuan will be busy with a lot of things next.

In the blink of an eye, another day passed, and the time came to the first day of June.

In the Qianqing Palace, looking at the prince in front of him, Zhu Xianming asked: "Let Xu Xin'an go to Jinling, have you really thought about this matter?" ”

"Master Xu is loyal and diligent, and the affairs of the city are cumbersome, so it is appropriate for him to help!" Zhu Jingyuan replied stubbornly.

The errand of supervising the rectification of the city's division still falls on Lin Ruhai's shoulders, even if he is seriously ill and unable to be a director.

Now Zhu Jingyuan has let himself go, eradicating dissidents in the name of rectification, and has caused "people" resentment in the Jiangnan area.

The magistrates of Jinling, such as Zheng Xianlin and He Gujing, although they have the intention to contain them, they are unable to catch them.

So, Zhu Jingyuan ...... In other words, everyone in the East Palace is very eager to send someone to replace Lin Ruhai to restrain Zhu Jingyuan.

There is no way, the public opinion support of Dr. Jiangnan is too important to Zhu Jingyuan, and it is the object he tries his best to protect.

At this time, Zhu Jingyuan was waiting for the emperor's response, and his heart was pounding.

"The previous edict has clearly stated that the appointment and dismissal of officials of the fourth rank and below can be self-determined!"

Lin Ruhai's dispatch to inspect the city's Bo Division is to hang the imperial history of the four products, and the meaning of the emperor's words is very clear.

"That'...... The son went back to inform Mr. Xu? Zhu Jingyuan asked tentatively.

After staring at the prince for a few seconds, Zhu Xianming said, "You decide for yourself!" ”

didn't get a definite reply, Zhu Jingyuan was a little disappointed, but he still replied immediately: "My son understands!" ”

Although Zhu Jingyuan is not very mature politically, he still understands that his father's move is intended to make him take responsibility.

Once Xu Xin'an is sent, if something happens in Jinling, he will have to bear the responsibility of the prince of the prison country.

Just as Zhu Jingyuan was about to leave, the emperor suddenly stopped him, and then pointed to a stack of notebooks on the imperial case, and said: "You can take these and take a look, and in a few days, you will go to the road and analyze your opinions!" ”

"Yes!"

Part of the transcript on Zhu Xianming's desk was submitted by the Fusi of Nanzhen, and the rest was the report of the vassal states in the south.

The contents are varied, but the common denominator is that the West is powerful, and its warships come and go frequently and act more and more domineering.

Zhu Xianming had a strong desire to control, thinking that the huge fleet of Westerners was galloping all over the world, and the Ming Dynasty did not have a decent sailor, he consciously felt the pressure in his heart.

Among them, the king of Luzon, the foreigners repeatedly blocked the port and the ocean to ask for trade, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Luzon were defeated, which made Zhu Xianming even more shocked.

Luzon, Burma, Phnom Penh, Dacheng, Ryukyu ......

These vassal states are close to the sea, and if the Ming Dynasty does not have a strong naval division, these places will sooner or later be touched by foreigners.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, these vassal states are finished, won't the Ming Dynasty suffer from the enemy on his back......

So now, there is no need for Zhu Jinghong to remind him, Zhu Xianming also wants to build a strong sailor.

specially selected the book and showed it to Zhu Jingyuan, Zhu Xianming just wanted to see the prince's thoughts, so this was actually a test.

The crown prince took the book back to the East Palace, and the palace was making final preparations, and the second emperor was about to set off.

Let's say that in the Xiangwang Mansion, Baochai is sitting in the attic of the back garden, holding the "Book of Rites" in his hand and looking at it carefully.

"Princess Qiyu, Mrs. Rongguo Mansion is here!"

Hearing Ying'er's words, Baochai was quite surprised.

Except for the time when she was canonized as a princess, the palace came, and she rarely came over for more than two years, so it really didn't seem normal to appear today.

Putting down the scroll, Baochai asked, "She came alone?" ”

"There are also two girls in Yingchun and Tanchun!" Ying'er replied.

"Invite them over!" Baochai said calmly.

"Yes!"

Ying'er came to the carrier gate, first saluted Mrs. Wang, and then led them all the way into the house.

However, after the Tongxin Palace, Ying'er was still walking north, and Mrs. Wang muttered in her heart.

"The princess is not summoned in the palace?"

"Niang Niang is waiting in the back garden!"

It's too casual to see me in the back garden, and even then she should come to greet me in person, I'm her aunt...... Mrs. Wang was a little dissatisfied.

Today, she took the initiative to come over, in fact, she wanted to use the matter of the crown prince to supervise the country, to show off the prestige of her princess's biological mother.

Now that Baochai doesn't pay attention to her, of course Mrs. Wang will be unhappy.

But she forgot that Baochai was not only a super prince, but also a child of more than five months in her belly, so it was reasonable not to come to welcome her.

Under the guidance of Ying'er, Mrs. Wang and her entourage soon came to Baochai.

"Meet the Princess!"

Although Mrs. Wang does not have great wisdom, she still knows this kind of face kung fu, so she solemnly saluted Baochai at this time.

"Auntie doesn't have to be polite!"

Mrs. Wang really didn't have much courtesy, and she got up directly halfway through her knees, but the two of them made a full salute to welcome the spring and visit the spring.

Baochai didn't care about this, and asked while motioning for her aunt to take a seat: "Auntie came here today, why did she come here?" ”

Mrs. Wang smiled and said with a smug expression: "You also know that the Holy Admiral went to the palace to escape the summer, and the affairs of the court and government were handed over to the prince!" ”

Baochai was puzzled that her aunt had opinions on the government and politics, but Mrs. Wang changed the topic again: "Today, the crown princess went to the queen's mother, saying that she wanted to stay in the capital to serve the prince, and she couldn't accompany her to serve, so she recommended your two sisters to the queen's side!" ”

Hearing this, Baochai looked at Yingchun and Tanchun, she really didn't expect this situation.

So at this time, she was even more curious, did these two sisters have anything to do with her?

"Princess, you also know that we are small families, how can we understand the rules of the palace, so I brought her two over, please give me special advice!"

"Now that the crown prince is in charge of the country, there are many big and small affairs, and the crown princess is as busy as a cow, so this matter can only trouble you!"

It is true that the crown princess is busy, so busy that she doesn't even have time to send people to teach the rules, which is pure nonsense.

Thinking of Mrs. Wang's emphasis on the prince's imprisonment of the country several times, Baochai roughly guessed this aunt's thoughts, which made her sneer in her heart.

No wonder I couldn't wait to come over, it turned out that I wanted to show off, but it was really interesting......

Mrs. Wang's thoughts, Tanchun also saw it at the moment, which made her so anxious, but she couldn't say anything.

Because of the last "marriage", Aunt Zhao's mother and son offended Mrs. Wang, and even Tanchun lost face.

At this time, Baochai said with a smile: "Aunt is too humble, Ning Rong's second mansion is a double prince, and now Sister Yuanchun has become the princess again, if this is called a small family...... Wouldn't we be begging for food! ”

Mrs. Wang's behavior disgusted her, but Baochai can control her emotions and will not be like such a person.

It is not yet known who will kill the deer, waiting for the dust to settle and everything will be known.

Baochai's words made Mrs. Wang very useful, and even a little fluttering.

Seeing that you are so sensible, the festival with Baoyu can be dealt with lightly in the future...... Mrs. Wang thought secretly.

At this time, I have to admire her heart is big enough, and she fantasizes about everything before she has even brushed the eight characters.

You must know that even if Zhu Jingyuan becomes the emperor, his Jia family will not be able to cover the sky with one hand, and it is extremely difficult to clean up characters like Zhu Jinghong.

"Princess...... I've already brought people, and you won't sit idly by! Mrs. Wang answered.

"Of course I'm not going to sit idly by!"

After saying that, Baochai turned around and ordered: "Ying'er...... Take them to Dong Fang and let her explain the rules! ”

"Yes!"

Dong Fang is a female official from the palace, and she is extremely proficient in the rules, and Baochai's arrangement is indeed very attentive.

After the two of them were taken away, Baochai said with a smile: "Auntie, I am not feeling well, I have to go back to the dormitory to rest, you can do it yourself!" ”

It is reasonable for a pregnant woman to be tired, so it is also reasonable for Baochai to leave, and if Mrs. Wang is interested, she should leave.

"The princess walks slowly, I'll wait for the girl!"

Mrs. Wang didn't leave, she just wanted to stay alone, and then go to complain to her daughter, saying how rude this princess was.

Isn't being rude to her, the mother of the crown princess, equivalent to being rude to the crown princess......

It can be said that in order to avenge her son, Mrs. Wang hollowed out her mind.

Let's say that when Baochai returns to the palace, her face will be difficult to look at, and those who are familiar with her will know that the princess has the heart to kill at this time.

"Let Xiaohong come in and serve, you all stand down!"

"Yes!"

After a while, Lin Hongyu entered the dormitory, and Baochai was already leaning on the couch.

"Meet the Princess!"

Looking at the girl in front of her, Baochai said calmly: "You are from the Jia family, tell me about the affairs in Rongguo's mansion!" ”

Lin Hongyu has done dirty things for Baochai, and now she is naturally trusted by him.

"What does the princess want to know?" Lin Hongyu asked.

"Bad thing!" Baochai replied.

She is not a person who will repay her, but she is really angry today, so she naturally wants to vent her anger.

Of course, with the help of cleaning up the Jia family, indirectly pouring dirty water on the prince is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

In order to help her man's career, she is also exhausted.

If you want to talk about the dirty things in Jiafu, there is really a basket of them, and you can make a big fuss by just finding one.

Baochai listened carefully, but he was thinking in his heart, how to blame the matter to the Rui Wangfu, and this matter was even simpler.

Dealing with the crown prince is what the Rui Wang family should do.

"You mean...... Jia Rong and You Shi have an affair? ”

Originally, he was just eating melons casually, but he didn't know that such a fierce news would be exposed, Baochai only felt that he was shocked by three views.

"Exactly!"

"How did you find out?"

"There are rumors among the people of Ning Guofu, and there are also people who went to the Grange in person before and forced the You clan to fall into the evil seed!"

Lin Hongyu continued to say, and Baochai was not only listening to the story, but also analyzing which were human witnesses and which were physical evidence.

Although he knew that the big family was not clean, it was dirty to the point that the Jia family was really surprising to Baochai.

The thought of living in this place of filth and filth made her feel very disgusted.

"That's a ...... Don't say much about today's events. Baochai solemnly admonished.

"Yes!"

"In the past two days, you go home, knock on the side and ask more clearly, you have to find out where those little girls were sent to......"

The people involved in these things were all broken up by Jia Rong and arranged to go to the Grange, and they had to find these people to be witnesses.

"Yes!"

Lin Hongyu is delicate, Baochai is very relieved of her, and all she has to do now is wait.

When the crown prince is on the right track, it will be time for him to take action.

At this time, Baochai was the only one left in the room, and she turned her head to look in the direction of Rui Wangfu, thinking about what the sixth sister-in-law was doing.

Even I want to interfere, there's no reason why you shouldn't do it...... Baochai thought secretly.

Thinking of this, Baochai only felt tiredness, and she fell asleep after a while.

This sleep is an hour passed, and when she woke up, it was Ying'er Wenxing by her side.

"They're all gone?"

Ying'er replied: "They said that the princess was inconvenient to disturb her rest, so they took their leave and left!" ”

"Hmm!"

At this time, Wen Xing interjected: "Niangniang, that spring girl asked me to thank you, saying that there was a lot of disturbance when Tang suddenly arrived at the house today, please don't blame Niangniang!" ”

Baochai was slightly stunned, and then had to sigh that there are still people who understand etiquette in Rongguo Mansion.
