The wind blew the clouds away, revealing the moon and stars.
The father and son enjoyed the beautiful night view, and their expressions were relaxed and at ease.
"What do you think about the Ming family?" Emperor Longfeng would not point to the official and say to his son, what is the character of this man, and what do you want to do to him. People's hearts are changeable. As a father, he should teach his son to understand people's hearts, not let his son obey him in everything.
He hopes to cultivate a wise and decisive emperor for the future of Dacheng, rather than a mediocre puppet.
"Know how to advance and retreat, and be loyal." King Chen said without thinking: "The most important thing is that they have people in their eyes."
"Literati is easy to get, but good officials are hard to find." Emperor Longfeng nodded with a smile: "Even if someone can make a beautiful article, it is not as good as the one who revitalizes the country and rejuvenates the country."
"The Ming family is different. They can not only write good articles, but also help the emperor to govern the world." King Chen looked at Emperor Longfeng: "Why does the emperor value them so much?"
Emperor Longfeng put his hand on his shoulder: "Seeing that you and the daughter of the Ming family support each other and have strong feelings for each other, it is only as a father that you let go of your guilt towards the Ming family."
Because of his selfishness and regardless of the wishes of the Ming family, he designated the girl of the Ming family as Princess Chen, hoping that Du Qing could learn from the Ming family the responsibility and demeanor of the superior.
Originally, he chose the Sun family. Who knew that the daughter of the Sun family was more fond of the fourth child. If he insisted, it would be bad for the two sons.
Many royals never meet true love, and most of them spend their whole lives with different women, wives and concubines in groups, lively and noisy.
They don't recognize the people around them and approach them for money or power because they have it all.
Because of this, he felt ashamed of the Ming family.
But sometimes fate is a miracle, and he could never have imagined that the daughter of the Ming family had such a relationship with Du Qing.
King Chen turned his head to look at Emperor Longfeng, what was his image in his father's heart, that he would feel guilty for letting him marry the daughter of the courtier's family.
"Look at what I do, how many impeachments have you blocked for your father because of your bad temper?" Emperor Longfeng patted him on the back, slapped loudly: "It's a worry-free thing."
"You can't say that, my son is doing justice to the chivalry." King Chen yawned: "Others don't know, you can't wrong your son."
"If I didn't know, how could I let you hang around in the capital all day?" Emperor Longfeng laughed out loud, father and son hugged each other's shoulders, looking like good brothers, no one dared to meet them. I believe this is the emperor and future prince of Dacheng.
"However." Emperor Longfeng looked at his son: "That night, you came back and told me that you are willing to share your father's worries and become a great prince. I am very pleased."
"That's me..." King Chen turned his head slightly, not looking into Emperor Longfeng's eyes: "I didn't want you to stay up all night to review the memorials, so that the mother always worried about you."
"Oh?"
"Long live you well, I will be my idle prince, the best of both worlds."
Kirin Palace.
Bai Shao took the thank-you gift from Princess Chen and came to the main hall to bid farewell to Princess Chen.
"Where are you going, elder sister?" Jiuzhu looked at Bai Shao, who was not yet thirty years old, but it was already twilight. "Why don't you stay in the Qilin Palace. The tea that elder sister makes is delicious."
Bai Shao rationally refused without thinking about it: "Princess, this slave was once the maid of honor in front of Concubine Ning and the Fourth Prince, and she must not serve in the Qilin Palace."
People say that if she stays in the Qilin Palace, in the eyes of others, everything that Concubine Ning and the fourth prince encounters may be calculated by the fifth prince, and she is the spy sent by the fifth prince.
The fifth prince's canonization ceremony is just around the corner, so why should she add blemishes to the two of them.
"The slave is not too young, and because of physical injuries, she is unable to get pregnant, and it is not easy to remarry after leaving the palace. I beg the princess to give the slave a grace, and let the slave go to the Shangyi Bureau to be a palace maid." Bai Shao was about to kowtow to Jiuzhu, but was taken She stretched out her hand to stop her, she looked squatting in front of her, and looked at Princess Chen with her, with a shallow smile on her face: "It will be a servant's honor to be able to add a stitch to the princess' clothes in the future."
"Okay." Jiuzhu raised her head to greet Yang Yiduo who was beside her: "Eunuch Yang, is there any real shortage in the Shangyi Bureau?"
Yang Yiduo said: "Yesterday, there was a Dian Yu in the Shangyi Bureau, and her position is vacant."
"Then arrange elder sister Bai Shao to go there. She is a fifth-grade palace maid, so she will fill this vacancy." Jiuzhu lifted Bai Shao up and said to Yang Yiduo, "You will send elder sister Bai Shao in person tomorrow, don't let the following people go. People, see that she is a raw face, and bully her."
"Princess, you can't..."
"Sister, Your Highness and I never care about how others see us, but we have a clear conscience." Jiuzhu smiled at her: "You can sleep in peace at the Qilin Palace tonight, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
If you can't even do what you want, what's the point of being a human being
"Thank you, Princess." Bai Shao didn't salute until she walked out of the gate of the main hall, where Jiuzhu couldn't see it, she bent her knees and gave a Wanfu salute in her direction.
She is sorry.
It is a pity that when he entered the palace at a young age, he did not meet a master like Princess Chen.
Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, she smiled.
That's fine, she finally got a good ending in her life.
In the main hall of the Sun Mansion, there were several officials with solemn expressions, and their faces were particularly uneasy under the candlelight.
"Master Sun, what do you say, do you want to let the fifth prince be the crown prince?" The official who spoke wore a green robe and wrinkled his forehead with worry: "Over the years, King Chen has acted recklessly and acted absurdly. Don't impeach him, if he ascends the throne as emperor in the future, we have nothing to be afraid of, but we are afraid that our descendants will be implicated by us and have nowhere to show their talents."
"That's not it." A gray-robed official said, "When the Zheng family was still in power, Zheng Wangnan collided with King Chen because of his words, and he was punished by him to go to the children's enlightenment class to copy books and write words, and lose face. We impeachment Those who have passed him are not thorns in his eyes, thorns in the flesh."
Master Sun raised his eyelids and glanced at the gray-clothed official who was talking, but he still didn't speak.
"Master Sun, it is rumored that Ling Qianjin and Princess Chen have a bad relationship. You have to think about the future." The gray-robed official saw that Master Sun was looking at himself, and hurriedly continued to persuade: "Ling Lang has been serving in a foreign country for many years, and he always thinks about it. The way to transfer it back to the capital."
Master Sun was a little tired of hearing it. Although his aptitude was mediocre and his talent was inferior to that of his ancestors, he couldn't even hear it.
How many loyal ministers and good generals have been sent out by the ancestors of the Sun family, if he sings against His Majesty because of personal grudges, he is afraid that he will be down in a hundred years and be scolded by his ancestors.
What's more, King Chen is not as unbearable as the rumors from the outside world.
If he really acted recklessly, how could he intercede with Princess Chen on behalf of his daughter
"His Royal Highness Chen has a pure heart and a benevolent heart. I think that King Chen is the best candidate for the prince." Lord Sun stood up and gave a deep bow to the people present: "Please forgive me, Lord Sun, I don't think this is the case. Something is wrong."
"you… "
The few people present never thought that the surnamed Sun would actually speak for King Chen, and the surnamed Sun wrote a lot about the impeachment of King Chen over the years.
"I really didn't expect that Lord Sun would also speak for King Chen one day. I don't know if after King Chen ascended the throne, will he be able to remember Lord Sun's merits from the dragon, or will he remember the hatred of Mr. Sun's impeachment over the years?" Thinking of getting such a result, I was so angry that I walked away.
"Alas." The Qingpao official sighed: "Brother Sun, you are confused."
At the beginning, the Sun family was unwilling to marry King Chen, and they impeached King Chen for his words and deeds.
"Masters, Mr. Sun is ashamed of King Chen. His Royal Highness King Chen is indeed the best candidate for the crown prince. Please put aside your old prejudices and stop being critical of King Chen." Lord Sun bowed to everyone, begging them not to Go to King Chen to trouble him: "It was all Sun's fault in the past, please look at Sun's face and go to court tomorrow, don't mention the canonization of the crown prince."
Everyone fell silent, and one of them said, "Can you guarantee that after King Chen takes the throne, he will not take revenge on us?"
"Don't you all understand that even if we object, His Majesty will not change his mind?" Master Sun advised: "Why not push the boat and keep a favor?"
"To be honest, our Sun family owes King Chen a big favor." Master Sun explained the matter of King Chen and Princess Chen begging for his daughter.
"Please think about it, my lords, if King Chen is really someone who will retaliate, how could he and Princess Chen intercede for the little girl at the moment of His Majesty's anger?"
"We understand what you mean." Several officials have known Master Sun for many years and knew that he would not fool them. After struggling for a long time: "We will go back and think about this matter."
After a few people returned home, they tossed and turned until midnight, and went to the morning with dark circles under their eyes.
Then when the emperor praised King Chen, they gritted their teeth and stood up first to praise King Chen.
Since they want to sell human feelings, it is better to sell them thoroughly, at least to let King Chen know that it is better that they sold King Chen.
The gray-robed official last night's face became extremely ugly. Why did these people change their mouths after just one night. What did the surnamed Sun tell them
He thought about it for a while, but didn't dare to stand up alone and sing the opposite of the emperor.
The courtiers were shocked when they saw these officials who loved to impeach King Chen when there was something wrong, and they were the first to stand up and praise King Chen.
The tempers of these people are stinky and stubborn. What means did His Majesty use to make them change their mouths
Emperor Longfeng was also very surprised. These people have always been dissatisfied with his family Duqing. Most of the memorials for impeaching Duqing came from them, but for the sake of them being talented people, Emperor Longfeng It has never been too difficult for them.
What's going on today
They don't look like people who see the wind.
In the harem, some people were looking forward to the grand occasion when officials opposed the canonization of King Chen as the crown prince.
"Is it still lively in the court today?"
As long as there are enough people who oppose it, even if Yun Duqing becomes the prince, there will still be hidden dangers.
"Master..."
The little palace maid knelt in front of her: "The court is full of praise for King Chen, and no one objected."
"What?" She stood up: "Impossible."
She specially arranged people to stir up their jealousy and dissatisfaction with King Chen. How could they still praise King Chen at the time
"Useless trash." She wasted so much energy and let him climb to the position of a fourth-rank official, and he couldn't even do this.
"Niangniang, it's not good." A eunuch came in and rushed in: "There are rumors in the palace, saying..."
"say what?"
"Say that His Royal Highness King Huai is not your and His Majesty's biological child."
"Nonsense!" Concubine Xu's expression changed greatly, and she was furious: "Who dares to spread rumors of royal blood?!"
