At noon, Zhou Shuren and the prince came out of the palace together. The prince held the emperor's eldest grandson in his arms. When the little baby was the cutest, not many people dared to play with it.
The prince hugged his dishonest son, stretched out his hand and patted his son on the back, "Be quiet."
The little guy is very courageous. On the one hand, the emperor and the prince are reluctant to take care of it. On the other hand, the father and son of the Tian family hope that the emperor's eldest grandson will be more courageous.
The emperor's eldest grandson stretched out his hand and said, "Master."
Zhou Shuren was calculating how long it would take to leave the palace, and coughed twice, "Master can't hold her."
The emperor's eldest grandson still didn't retract his arm. After waiting for a while to confirm that he wouldn't hug him, he hugged his biological father's neck honestly.
The prince smiled and said, "This child wants to kiss you."
Zhou Shuren said in his heart that you, father and son, just have to take a portrait every day for the emperor and grandson to remember, but he said: "The child's eyes are clean, and the eldest grandson of the emperor knows that the minister is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he is a pure-hearted person."
Prince, "..."
The emperor's grandson didn't understand what it meant, but he still grinned, "Master."
Zhou Shuren's heart also melted. Different from the connection of blood, watching the child grow up little by little, his cold heart softened, "Hey!"
The prince rubbed his son's little head. The first child was also the eldest son. His fatherly heart was given to the child in his arms. The prince was very clear that it would be difficult for him to have his fatherly heart again if he had any children in the future. .
The little boy was young and became sleepy after a while. The prince hurriedly took the cloak and hugged his son, walking much slower.
Zhou Shuren looked at her intently. The doting in the prince's eyes could drown anyone. The prince's concubine did not have as high a status in the prince's heart as the emperor's eldest grandson.
Who in the capital doesn't know how much the emperor and the prince attach great importance to the emperor's eldest grandson. It is because of this importance that the people around the emperor's eldest grandson are all arranged by the emperor.
Too many people didn't want the emperor's eldest grandson to grow up smoothly. No one doubted the choice of the prince to succeed him. Zhou Shuren looked at the chubby child. He was also worried about the child and couldn't help but make plans for the child.
The three days given by the emperor passed quickly, and there was still a plan to impeach the Zhuo family. The Zhuo family did it too simply, and with the emperor's backing, the Zhuo family cleaned up very cleanly.
This time there was no evidence of death, so the family had no choice but to give up.
The censors of the Lin family attacked the aristocratic family, and it was very lively. The Lin family took risks for the imperial power, and soon there was a plan to impeach the Lin family.
The Lin family is not afraid. Not to mention that the evidence used to impeach them is false. Even if the emperor is really protecting them, the Lin family has never lost in a quarrel!
It was the first time Zhou Shuren saw the Lin family in full swing, and he thought that the censors were very professional in their quarrels!
Zhou Shuren wanted to help, but it was a pity that the Lin family didn't use it. Mr. Lin thought it was not a big deal.
As the days passed, more and more people were implicated. Those who were the first to confess and be lenient were not afraid. There were also people who wanted to retire and return to their hometowns, but unfortunately they did not fear that they would die if they left the capital.
Zhou Shuren watched the excitement, confessing and being lenient indeed escaped the death penalty, but he still could not escape the life penalty. The day the court did not clear up the matter, the day he suffered.
On that day, the Hanlin Academy was closed for a long time. Zhulan grabbed her youngest son, who had an appointment, and said, "Don't leave in a hurry. I'm going to go to the Wei family to discuss the date of your marriage."
Chang Zhong was generous this time, "It's all up to you."
Zhulan smiled, "Okay, you can go."
Chang Zhong left briskly. Ever since he came back from worshiping his ancestors, everyone who met him would ask when he was going to get married. His friends who had made a lot of money through him were all waiting for him to get married and give him big gifts!
He was embarrassed at first, but his friends talked about it a lot and he wanted to get married. Anyway, he is not young at this age, and he has already established a career!
Changzhong accepted Cheng Xiang's invitation, and he also invited Gu Sheng and Wu Shangheng. The fourth prince will not leave the palace again until the queen's anniversary, and now he is meditating on copying scriptures all day long.
Cheng Xiang was the first to arrive, and the second was Chang Zhong. As soon as Chang Zhong sat down, Cheng Xiang thanked him: "Without your introduction, I would not be able to find a way to ingratiate myself with the future prince-in-law."
Chang Zhong smiled, "It's not as exaggerated as you said."
Wu Shangheng was indeed arrogant but he also liked to make friends. Of course, he had to fall in his eyes, otherwise the prince would stay far away. The second prince gave a lot of things, but Wu Shangheng remained indifferent.
It was only in the capital that Cheng Xiang realized that his father was nothing, "My father hasn't had much rest recently."
Chang Zhong raised his eyebrows, "Who did Master Cheng seek refuge with?"
Cheng Xiang shook his head hastily, "No, my father didn't seek refuge with anyone."
Chang Zhong knew that Mr. Cheng had sought a career in maritime affairs, and everyone who saw it promised a promising future. However, this man was unlucky and said, "It's a good thing he didn't join the army."
Why Cheng Xiang was so anxious to make an appointment with Zhou Changzhong was because he wanted to get some hints. He did not mention the in-laws of the Zhou Hou family, but said that Zhou Hou himself was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and must know a lot of inside information. His father would be relieved if he got a little hint, otherwise Dad worries every day that he will be pushed out and the Cheng family will be gone.
Cheng Xiang poured the tea himself, "My father does not seek a future, but now he is only worried."
Chang Zhong had a good impression of the Cheng family, and he also thought of Master Cheng's care for the Zhou family as the prefect of Pingzhou, "doing his job well."
The emperor was well aware of Haiwu's actions, so it was not easy to push someone to take the blame.
Cheng Xiang smiled and said, "You'll be welcome if you find me useful in the future."
Chang Zhong pointed out, "Master Cheng is a good official for the magistrate of Pingzhou."
Cheng Xiang understood that Chang Zhong gave the reminder not because of him, but because of his father's care for the Zhou family.
Wu Shangheng and Gu Sheng arrived together. Wu Shangheng sat down, but Gu Sheng wanted to greet him, "Uncle."
Chang Zhong motioned to sit down, and then asked, "Why are you two here together?"
Wu Shangheng, "He asked me to send him a painting, so we came together."
Chang Zhong looked at Gu Sheng, who didn't hide it. "My paintings are very popular in the south. I spent a lot of money to get them this time."
Changzhong, "..."
He is indeed a good housekeeper.
Gu Sheng was really happy. He had received a sum of money into his account just after getting engaged.
Chang Zhong introduced Cheng Xiang, Wu Shangheng was very polite, but Gu Sheng was willing to make friends. Cheng Xiang was very sociable and soon Wu Shangheng also became warm.
While talking, Wu Shangheng mentioned Zhuo Guyu, "I saw that he has lost a lot of weight."
Chang Zhong noticed it when he saw Zhuo Guyu every day, "You pay attention to him."
Wu Shangheng snorted, "You must pay attention."
If the emperor hadn't used the Zhuo family, his family would have been in trouble long ago.
Chang Zhong knew the grudge and asked, "No one asked you for help?"
Wu Shangheng said quietly: "Why are you so busy?"
Chang Zhong was speechless, "I'm not busy and you still want to avoid my house?"
Wu Shangheng is worried. He has been annoyed to death recently. He really wants to get married and live in the princess's mansion as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the wish is beautiful, but the reality is too cruel. The princess wants to observe filial piety, and the emperor does not want the princess to marry early!
Just as he was talking, the door of the box was knocked, and there were quite a few people outside. Wu Shangheng's face turned cold, "See, I didn't catch you here, tsk, tsk, if they come in and find you, it will be a surprise for them!"
