"My lords, look at the memorials issued today." The official on duty opened the memorials issued in the palace, and his expression became a little subtle: "It seems... is the prince ghostwriting again?"
His Majesty did not explicitly say which prince reviewed the memorial, and even if they now suspect that it is King Chen, they cannot say it.
After a moment of silence, a minister spoke up.
"It's well organized and has something to say, this prince... is not bad at criticizing."
"Well, the words are strong, and the prince should be...a person who can make a difference."
Several ministers looked at each other, everyone knew who they were praising each other, but they just didn't say anything.
After all, it is the object of criticism. If you praise it too frankly, it will be difficult to pass.
But if you don't praise a few words, you will not be able to live with your conscience.
Most scholars value propriety, righteousness and morality.
"There is also this proposal to increase silkworm breeding in Southwest County, which is also very good. Southwest County has many mountains, and silk and satin cloth is expensive and not easy to damage. It is easier to transport to other places than ceramic fruits and vegetables for sale."
"Adapting measures to local conditions and caring about people's livelihood, if he changes his idleness, I will be very fortunate."
The ministers looked at the speaking official with expressions...
Everyone said it very vaguely. Although your words did not directly mention the title, the point is too obvious.
For a time, the six duty rooms became quiet again.
After a long time, the official A whispered: "I think that the prince and the princess have been living in the palace for many days, should we play your majesty and invite a few princes to return to the court?"
The fourth prince is abolished, and there are other princes who have hope.
For example... the prince who helped His Majesty to review memorials.
"Your Majesty has made his own decision on this matter, and we must not rashly report it." Official B shook his head: "This matter seems to be a state affair, but it is actually your Majesty's family affair."
The five princes are all grown ups, if because of their ambitions, the entire court has become smoky, but it will harm the people of the world.
"That's all." Official A sighed: "Brother Wang is right, the bigger the person, the bigger the heart."
Although these officials had their own selfish interests, none of them hoped that the events of the last years of Xiande would happen again, causing countless casualties and making the people of the world restless.
Just one day after the decree of Jiakai Enke was issued, poems praising the emperor, queen and King Chen began to appear in the capital.
In the end, he is a scholar living in the capital, and his political consciousness is very high. Even if he writes poems and praises his virtues, he will not leave any key figures behind.
"His Royal Highness." Jiuzhu was sitting in the carriage and heard the children on the street singing jingle, the content seemed to be complimenting the father and mother and the highness: "Listen to what they are singing?"
"You shoot one, I'll take one, His Majesty Longfeng Shou Tianqi."
"You take the second picture, I agree with the second one, the empress is picturesque."
"You shoot three, I am against three, His Royal Highness King Chen is as strong as a mountain."
"Tsk." King Chen stared at the little brats who were playing clap and sing. When he praised his father and mother, he was drawn from the sky and painted. How could he become a mountain when he came here
"You shoot eight, I shoot eight, and the fourth brother is a bad boy."
"Your Highness, do you think there is something wrong with this clapping song?"
"Well." King Chen put down the curtain: "Someone is deliberately provoking things."
In the first half of the whole clapping song, he was still there after praising the father and the queen, but in the second half, he began to scold Yun Yanze. As for the other princes, he didn't even mention it.
What can these children know, maybe they even know the surname of the royal family, and a few princes do not know, how can they know the sequence of the princes.
"These people are really bad-minded and use children as weapons." Jiuzhu frowned: "Fortunately, the emperor is a wise man who loves the people like a son, otherwise such rumors would harm these children."
When it comes to the royal family, many things are not trivial.
"Yeah." Jiuzhu touched her chin: "How about we also write children's songs?"
"Make up what?"
"It's a little more interesting, such as the most popular one in Beijing, the overbearing prince..."
"Huh?" King Chen looked at her.
"His Royal Highness, as we all know, the words are false." Jiuzhu quickly reassured him: "We don't have to take it seriously."
Chen Wang silently stroked his forehead. Since he heard a few outrageous stories about the overbearing prince, he would feel uncomfortable whenever he heard the words "overbearing prince".
Those storytellers continue to make up the story, and he is about to grow a few pairs of wings on his back.
On the other side of the street, an inconspicuous carriage was parked.
"Your Highness, these are children's nonsense, don't take it to heart." Sun Caiyao listened to the songs outside and called the eunuch: "Bring some food to coax those children and tell them not to sing."
"No need." Yun Yanze sat quietly in the carriage: "There are countless children in the capital, and even if they stop them today, there are still others."
"Your Highness..." Sun Caiyao looked at him worriedly.
"It's okay, I won't take the children's jokes to heart." Yun Yanze smiled at her gently: "In a few days, when these children have new songs, forget about it."
The gentler his smile, the more uncomfortable Sun Caiyao felt. She knew in her heart that these things could not be so easy. When nursery rhymes became more and more widely circulated, the image of His Highness in the hearts of these children could no longer be changed.
"King Chen's move... is too much." She couldn't help but say, "He has won the favor of scholars all over the world, why does he still slander His Highness so much?"
Yun Yanze smiled and shook his head.
Yun Duqing, who was born with everything, was arrogant by nature and would not use this method.
But the other three brothers, anyone is possible.
He did not explain to Sun Caiyao that he now needs the support of the Sun family. The more Sun Caiyao fought for him, the more he would persuade the Sun family to help him.
"His Royal Highness, Prince Concubine." The eunuch sent by Sun Caiyao returned soon.
"Those children are gone?" Sun Caiyao lifted the curtain and saw that the children were holding a few candied haws in their hands, but she did not sing the nursery rhyme just now.
"Back to the imperial concubine, when the little slave just went, I met Yang Yiduo."
"Yang Yiduo?" Sun Caiyao felt that the name sounded familiar: "The eunuch in charge of the Qilin Palace?"
"It was him."
"Why is he here?"
The little eunuch looked up at her secretly: "Yang Yiduo said that he was under the order of King Chen and Princess Chen to tell those children not to sing the nursery rhyme just now."
Sun Caiyao was a little surprised. The carriage they rode in today was very ordinary and had no special signs. Yun Duqing and Ming Jiuzhu probably didn't know that they were nearby, so there was no possibility of deliberately acting for them.
"Does this matter have nothing to do with King Chen?" Sun Caiyao calmed down and thought for a long time: "Your Highness, could someone deliberately provoke your relationship with King Chen?"
Yun Duqing is now in great power. If His Highness and Yun Duqing have a standoff, only His Highness will suffer.
"Fifth younger brother really doesn't look like someone who uses this method." Yun Yanze looked through the car window and looked at the children who lowered their heads and chewed candied haws with their faces covered in sugar residue: "Now I'm out of power, and I have nothing to do with it. The mother and concubine can rely on, and without the favor of the father and the emperor, anyone can step on it."
"His Royal Highness, you still have me." Sun Caiyao held his hand: "That day, I was above the tall building, and I saw you dressed in white from a distance, reaching out on horseback to catch the falling from the window. Child, I know that you will not marry in this life."
Yun Yanze's tender and affectionate eyes stared at her quietly for a moment, then pulled his hand out of her palm: "How long ago was that, I forgot."
"It doesn't matter if your Highness forgets it, I just remember it."
Yun Yanze smiled.
"His Royal Highness, the slave just went to coax the child and met the little eunuch of Zhang Liugong." Yang Yiduo came back after finishing his work and said to King Chen, "He didn't say which prince came out with."
"Let him go." King Chen said casually, "Let the driver continue on the road and arrive at the princess's house as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Highness."
No matter who he is, he can't delay his princess eating flower cakes.
Half an hour later, Jiuzhu sat on the table of the Ming family and ate sweet and delicious flower cakes, while His Royal Highness King Chen... endorsed it under the caring eyes of his father-in-law and the uncle of the Ming family.
He originally didn't want to carry it, but thinking of Ming Xiaozhu who was less than five steps away from him, he still carried it.
Listening to the applause of Ming Xiaozhu and the applause of worshippers, King Chen silently straightened his back.
Men always have to pay various prices for the cowhide they once blew.
But as long as she saw her bright eyes, King Chen felt that the cowhide that was blown out could still persist.
Fortunately, the two elders of the Ming family knew what it means to be relaxed, so after making him memorize a few paragraphs, they changed their proposal.
"It's not interesting to just endorse, let's play the leaf card."
King Chen: "..."
In fact, the endorsement is also quite interesting.
After all, you only need to use your brain for endorsement, but to play leaf cards with the Ming family, you need to move not only your brain, but also your facial features, and even your eyes must be sincere.
"His Royal Highness." Jiuzhu sat next to him holding a plate of flower cakes: "Play hard, you have to win."
"Okay." King Chen raised his head and glanced at several Ming men, and began to show his three-point strength.
After half an hour, Ming Cunfu was the first to throw his cards because he had no money to lose.
"My lord, why are you so lucky today?" He couldn't help but say, "It's much better than last time."
"Maybe it's because Jiuzhu is sitting next to me?" King Chen saw that his cousin had lost his purse, and divided the money he won evenly: "My family doesn't pay attention to winning or losing when they play cards. We parted together."
"His Royal Highness, why do I still have my share?" Jiuzhu saw that His Highness grabbed two handfuls of copper coins and put them in front of him.
"If it wasn't for you sitting next to me, I wouldn't be able to win at all." King Chen said seriously, "So our little lucky beads must have a share."
"Really?" Jiuzhu asked curiously while putting the money in her purse, "Is it really my credit?"
"Of course." King Chen smiled and helped her fasten her purse bag: "If you don't believe me, ask my cousin, I was losing all the time last time."
He had lost all his wallets, but now he has split another sum of money. Ming Cunfu, who was happy, heard the words and nodded, "Your Highness is right, he was the loser all the time last time."
"Look, didn't I lie to you?" King Chen whispered in her ear: "Ming Xiaozhu, don't stay too far from me in the future."
He chuckled lightly, making Jiuzhu's ears numb.
"I'm afraid that if you stay away from me, my luck will be bad."
"Your Highness is not afraid." Jiuzhu held his hand: "I will always be with you."
A few men from the Ming family threw the cards with a stern face, got up silently and walked away.
Oh, everyone is a man, who still doesn't understand the mind of a man.
But their girl and her son-in-law have a good relationship, that's a good thing, what can they do
Of course you can only pretend to be invisible.
"Yeah." King Chen secretly pecked Jiuzhu on the back of Jiuzhu's hand while the Ming family was not paying attention: "I believe you."
"Father, what is King Chen doing..."
Ming Jingzhou covered his mouth.
Ming Cunfu shook his head: "Third brother, there is really a reason why you can't marry a wife."
