Because there was no well-developed public lighting system at this time, people rarely traveled at night. Every year, many civilians die because of walking at night, falling into ditches, lakes and even cliffs. Therefore, although Shao Shang didn't understand the 'Xuandi Prince's story' at all, he could understand the seriousness of the matter from Ling Budo's stance of rushing back to the capital overnight - it is estimated that it was aimed at the old prince.

Originally, she wanted to ask Ling Budo about it on the way, but who knew that the third prince and the fourth prince also squeezed into Ling Budo's carriage. For fear of appearing to be unlearned (although it was a fact), she didn't ask more, and only cursed in her heart. The three princes robbing the carriage will remain unchanged for 800 years!

After being seated in the spacious carriage, the third prince still had a coffin face as usual, closed his eyes and rested himself, or the fourth prince saw the doubts in Shaoshang's heart, and said straightforwardly: "Zisheng's carriage is stronger than ordinary carriages. It is heavy and will not fall apart even in a hurry. Ordinary carriages take three hours to travel, but this one can be reached in two hours. Ban Xiaohou was still in shock, so he just let another brother take care of him and walk slowly."

Shao Shang With a sigh of relief, he boldly said, "Why are the two Your Highnesses in such a hurry to return to the capital? I think the Master is frail, so it is not suitable to rush on the road." It wasn't the two of you who were targeted!

The third prince opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes shot like electricity, and Shao Shang shrank for no reason. Ling Budo looked at her like a frightened bunny, and even his ears shook twice, feeling amused, and reached out and patted her for comfort.

Shao Shang Gan smiled and said: "...The concubine means that there is His Majesty in the capital city. What's wrong, the third highness and Lord Ling don't have to be so anxious." The

third prince sneered: "To teach you a lesson today, although you may You come from an ordinary background, but you are in the royal family of the palace, don't just focus on flirting with Zicheng, you should keep your ears and eyes, and you should know what you should know at the first moment. Just like you, the palace still Everyone praises you for being smart and clever, and it is also the empress who is kind and generous, otherwise you will fall into the group of women who really have scheming and means, how many days can you live alone?!"

Shao Shang only asked one question, and was scolded for a long time. Then the specific questions still have not been answered.

Ling Budo glanced at the third prince in dissatisfaction, then turned his head and said softly: "You don't know, yesterday Immortal Yan suddenly arrived, and His Majesty was surprised and delighted, so he led him to Tugaoshan Hot Spring Palace to reminisce. Okay, so this matter didn't disturb the foreign ministers, only the prince and several adults from Shangshutai knew about it."

Shaoshang seemed to have thought of something: "...And that Feishu is what happened today?"

Ling Budo nodded.

Shao Shang smiled bitterly: "Then the courtiers must now know that His Majesty is no longer in the capital."

Ling Budo sighed and patted the top of her head.

Shao Shang was worried: "The maiden should be upset again, it took a few days to feel more comfortable." After a pause, she secretly glanced at the third prince again, and whispered, "I have been on leave for three or four days, naturally I don't know what's going on in the palace..." The

third prince said coldly: "Gu is also building a mansion outside the palace, how do you know it!" Ling Budo confronted him tit for tat: "She is young and innocent, naturally not as smart as

His Highness."

Cowardly, he took Ling Budo's hand to shut his mouth and was amazed. Well, she admitted that she was indeed terrified of the third prince, especially when he was training him, he was exactly the same as the old uncle.

The fourth prince had been laughing secretly since the third prince had scolded Shao Shang, but at this time he sighed secretly.

He thought to himself, although this little lady Cheng has a bad temper, she has a good heart and an upright person. Among the siblings, except for the second emperor, who is really involved, the rest of the princes and princesses, who do not secretly pay attention to the father's every move, even the little princes who are still reading and recognizing are not necessarily safe.

In the middle of the night, he set off from the camp, and Shao Shang had been leaning on Ling Budo's arms and dozing off until the sky was bright and everyone saw the towering city walls of the capital. Ling Budo brushed open the city gate with the faces of himself and the third prince, and then went all the way to the palace city. . When they reached Suzakufang, the two princes got off the carriage and changed horses and left, not knowing where to go.

Shao Shang rubbed his big eyes and said vaguely, "Aren't they going to enter the palace? Then why were you in such a hurry last night?"

Ling Buqun replied: "What are you going to do in the palace? Seeing how embarrassed the crown prince looks... In fact, this is a double-edged sword, and they also have great scruples."

Shaoshang put down his hands and said in a daze: "I'm afraid others will say They have something to plan."

Ling Buxuan hummed.

The carriage stopped at the Shangxi Gate as usual, and the palace guard whispered to Ling Budo: "Several adults entered the palace early in the morning, saying that they were looking for the prince to discuss matters."

Ling Budo paused, originally Shaoshang was in a hurry to go. Looking at the Queen, he dragged her to the Shangshu Desk, and whispered: "You will tell me later that the Queen is ill, please come and take a look."

Shao Shang was dragged away in a daze: Ah, the Queen Is your body ill again? How could she not know.

Xiao Huangmen and Ling Cheng, who were on duty at the Shangshu Desk, knew each other very well, and let them in without hindrance. Before they stepped into the side hall, they heard the prince's helpless arguing voice from inside: "... Regarding Tian, ​​the emperor only mentioned a few words, why should you ask questions?"

Then came the rebuttals one after another -

"Your Highness's words are bad, and Your Majesty never said useless things. Since Du Tian was mentioned, then With this thought in mind, as the Crown Prince, how could His Highness ask three questions?"

"That's right! Saving fields is not a trivial matter. How to save, where to save, and which people to save, the knowledge in it is very big, and His Highness has to show it. Here comes the regulations!"

Shao Shang was no longer sleepy at all, and hurriedly slammed into the crack of the door, and saw a large group of people dressed as scribes gathered in the side hall, all of them were drooling and aggressive, but she didn't know any of them.

For the past six months, she has been running errands to the Shangshu Terrace every three days. She has seen almost all of the courtiers that the old uncle usually summons three or four times. So that means, the ranks of these guys are not too high.

The prince was finally forced to speak: "The intention of the father to raise the land was to check the population, acres of land, and verify the household registration and taxation. It can not only enrich the national treasury, but also have an understanding of the situation of the state and county, and also restrain those who do not. It is a great deed to benefit the country and the people to pay attention to the decrees of the imperial court, and the intention is very good..."

"Your Highness's remarks are bad." A yin and yang voice said, "If you want to talk about the intention, isn't the intention of those 'new policies' of the former emperors bad? It's a good idea, citing scriptures and classics, and ordinary great Confucians can't say him! What?"

"Exactly! Emperor Rui's so-called New Deal, changing coins for a while, donating taxes for a while, and going door-to-door to search for the population of the fields, is also high-sounding, who knows that apart from the tragic incident of forcing out the family and ruining people, it's just that Let the silverfish under his command fill his own pockets, Your Highness should take this as a warning..."

Shao Shang was listening to the partition fan in fascination, not guarding that Ling Buxuan raised his long leg with a kick, and the partition fan was kicked down with a clatter. Together with Shao Shang, who was still bending over to eavesdrop, he was exposed in front of everyone.

Ling Budo looked around at the people with different expressions in the hall, and said coldly: "The two adults open their mouths and shut their mouths and face the Emperor Rui. What do you mean, are you referring to your majesty or the prince?"

The hall was quiet for a while, and everyone Looking at each other, the prince looked at Ling Budoubt, and said happily, "Zisheng is here."

A literate scholar stood up and said loudly, "Why should General Wei use such a crime to detain people, take history as a mirror and persuade him Your Majesty, this is the duty of our ministers..."

"Could it be that your duty is to criticize indiscriminately, creating something out of nothing? That's really good." Ling Budo looked at them coldly, every word was sonorous.

"Emperor Rui's position was not right, but a villain who usurped power and seized the throne by relying on the power of a woman! Your Majesty is a soldier, a horse, a state, a county, plotting and fighting, and taking down the country with flesh and blood! Violating, with the material of treacherous, evil and evil, he took advantage of the chaos of the change of the four generations to cause the disaster of usurpation; and Your Majesty, with the knowledge of Yu and Tang, executed the riots, succeeded the ancestors, and relieved the people from distress. What similarities are there, Rongder and others are talking nonsense!"

The people in the hall were shocked by his momentum for a while, and they were speechless for a long time. Another scribe who looked more friendly said softly, "It is Your Highness that I am advising, not His Majesty..."

"It was Your Majesty who mentioned Du Tian, ​​not the Crown Prince! If you have anything to ask, you can write to the imperial court. Xue, you guys are more assertive than His Majesty, which forces the Crown Prince to intervene in government affairs!" Ling Budo said.

Shao Shang thought to himself, the Crown Prince has not interfered in anything yet, there is such a foolish Gui Sun, if he is really in charge, he will not be drowned by Spit Xingzi.

At this time, the yin and yang scribe said: "General Wei is not only brave and unparalleled, but also the talent of Su Qin and Zhang Yi. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation. Yesterday, someone posted a flying book in the capital city, telling the story of Emperor Xuan, I wonder if the general heard it or not. Ah?"

Ling Budo said lightly: "There are so many old allusions, and I want to tell allusions, but I also have an allusion - I wonder if you still remember the story of Emperor Wu's Prince Wei?

" There was a look of panic on his face, but Shao Shang still didn't know what it meant.

Ling Budo looked at the crowd and said word by word, "Some of them are self-proclaimed loyal ministers who use the guise of persuading Emperor Xuan's crown prince, but they do what the minister Jiang Chonghan said!"

After saying this, no one in the hall dared to speak In response, Ling Budo turned his head and glanced at Shaoshang who was leaning on the door. Shaoshang understood, and immediately said loudly, "Report to Your Highness, the Empress is sick, please go and take a look." The

prince seemed relieved. Hastily got up to say goodbye.

Walking in the palace alley, Shao Shang complained in a low voice: "Your Highness, you really are, those gangsters are here to discuss politics, they are just here to bully you, what are you doing? Just tell them to shut up and get out of here!" The

Crown Prince smiled bitterly: "How can we talk ill of each other indiscriminately..."

Shao Shang scolded lowly: "There is a kind of person in this world called a slut, what do you say when you meet a slut? It makes sense, it would be polite not to do anything!" The

prince did not argue with the little girl, but shook his head helplessly and continued to walk forward.

A small storm seems to have disappeared just like that.

Shao Shang thought that the queen had just recovered from her illness, and it would be bad if she encountered such a bad thing, but this time she was very calm. When Shao Shang rushed back, he saw her reading and writing dignifiedly and leisurely, and the Changqiu Palace was as calm as ever.

The queen stroked the girl's cute and soft twin-haired horns: "Didn't you say that it's a blessing or a disaster, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. I'm also tired, just wait for His Majesty to come back, and then everything will be decided."

Shao Shang thinks That's right, he stayed in the palace peacefully and planned to stay for a few days to see the situation.

However, the academic problem cannot be delayed. At noon that day, Shao Shang slipped out of the Changqiu Palace while the queen was taking a nap, seized the opportunity to catch the fifth prince who was molesting the little palace maid, and took him to a remote place for questioning.

The fifth prince had suffered from Shao Shang. At first, he refused to be alone with her, and even clamored to shrink into the group of palace maids. Shao Shang shouted with a fierce face, and the little palace maids ran clean. Five The prince can only follow.

"Don't worry, I won't ask you to testify for me today, and I won't let you help me with the murder... I'm just asking you two little allusions." Shao Shang pressed the fifth prince's arm with one hand and his queen with the other. neck.

The fifth prince said repeatedly: "It hurts, it hurts... you let go first, I'm coming with you, what are you doing! What allusions, I'll just say it!"

Shao Shang let go of his hand and frowned: "His Royal Highness also It's time to practice, you have vain fat, weak hands and feet, unsteady breath, I see that your belly is about to come out, how old are you!" The

fifth prince rubbed his arm: "What do you know, if I learn The Wen Tao Wu Lue is boring. The Empress has a righteous name and the respect of her father. The Yue Niang has a strong family background and her father's favor. What does my mother-in-law have? I've been thinking all day, I don't want to go with her! Only in this way can I live a stable and long life!"

Shao Shang said with awe: "I can't see what the Fifth Highness thinks so clearly, then you are always jumping up and down to be annoying. The last time Your Majesty Tu Gaoshan offered sacrifices to the gods, I heard that you actually interfered in the matter of the second prince and the third prince, and you were beaten!"

The fifth prince said: "If I don't disturb some things, the father and the emperor may not remember me. If he doesn't remember me, can the reward of the title be good in the future. Besides, the more stupid and ridiculous I am, the more ridiculous I am. Helping the brothers and sisters will be more at ease."

Shao Shang said oddly, "Why are you telling me everything?" The

fifth prince rolled his eyes: "The first time I was making a fuss, Ling Buxuan saw through it. Then I exposed him to the emperor. After sneaking out of the palace, he beat me up and complimented me a few times... Oh, stop being long-winded, what allusions do you want to ask!"

Shaoshang was stunned, and quickly said: "Yes, yes, I want to ask you. , so what... what is the meaning of the story of Prince Xuan, and who are Prince Wei and Jiang Chong?" Even the fourth prince who doesn't like to read knows it, the fifth prince should know.

The fifth prince's eyes lit up: "Oh, you also heard about the flying book in the city yesterday? Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that your reading is not very good, but why are you..."

Shao Shang rolled up his sleeves and took a step forward. Threatened in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, it's inconvenient to ask the queen and the doctor, Zhai Yu doesn't know, and Lord Ling is working outside again, I'm anxious to know now, tell me quickly!

" "Okay, I said—then I'll be brief, you won't understand it if you talk too much."

"Are you asking for a beating?"

"Go away, I'm going to say—Emperor Xuan was a member of the previous dynasty. The emperor is kind and caring for the people. He is a wise monarch who believes in rewards and punishments. He is very affectionate with the original queen. Who knows that the original queen was killed later..."

"Well, the queen can be killed, and this emperor is not wise. Where are you going?"

"Don't interrupt, when the original queen was killed, Emperor Xuan was not in power! Well, where's the talk... Oh, the original queen passed away, but he left a son, both direct and long, and Emperor Xuan took him Established as the crown prince."

"Oh, this is the crown prince of Emperor Xuan."

"That's right. In order to protect the prince, Emperor Xuan specially appointed a queen who had no favor and no son, and also found a lot of amazing people to teach the prince. Even if Emperor Xuan later had a very favorite Jieyu and a son, the status of the prince was always stable. "

This Emperor Xuan is a good person."

"He is a good person, but this crown prince is not a good candidate for the crown prince. The master who taught us at the beginning said that the crown prince of Emperor Xuan was soft and timid, soft-hearted and soft-hearted, and he favored eunuchs. Later he The eunuch beside him killed an important official in the court, but he did not take heavy responsibility and just let it go. In fact, Emperor Xuan saw this when he was alive, and once said, "The prince can't tell the difference between kingship and domineering, how can he take the responsibility of governing the country." Give it to him', and 'those who mess up my family, the crown prince also' - but because of the affection of the original queen, the poor prince lost his mother when he was young, and finally Emperor Xuan let the crown prince succeed the throne, which is Emperor Yuan. "

After saying this long paragraph, the fifth prince looked at Shao Shang's face and stood a few steps away.

Shao Shang stood on the spot and said with difficulty: "...So, later generations have a lot of criticism about this?" The

fifth prince nodded: "The master said that the decline of the previous dynasty began with Emperor Yuan. A prince is fine. Also, Emperor Yuan later established a prince who was a hundred times worse than himself, that is, Emperor Cheng. Emperor Cheng was indulged in wine and sex, his relatives were in power, and the government was in chaos. Oh, the emperor who usurped the throne was promoted in his hands. I got up—the flying book posted in the city said this allusion, and it made it clear that it was going to the prince's brother!"

Shao Shang was stunned for a long time, unable to speak for a long time: "You can't say that, who said that a prince was changed. , the previous dynasty will never decline." The decline of a dynasty has a cyclical law, and it will not be shifted by subjective will... But how can people accept this!

"What about the second allusion?" she asked, "also suggested that the emperor abolish the prince?"

The fifth prince smiled and said, "This is the exact opposite. Prince Wei is Emperor Wu's heir. He is lenient and decisive, and won the hearts of the people. Therefore, Jiang Chong, a cruel official who was used by Emperor Wu, was afraid and worried that Prince Wei would be punished after he succeeded to the throne. The first attack was strong, and he falsely accused Prince Wei of treason. Later, Prince Wei was forced to raise an army, and finally he was defeated and committed suicide. After finding out that the prince was wronged, Emperor Wu was furious to find the man who would be implicated in the incident at that time. It's gone."

Shao Shang now understands what Ling Budo means, everyone thinks that they are loyal ministers who persuade Emperor Xuan to change his position as heir, who knows if it is Jiang Chong - she laughed.

She came back to her senses, her hands folded up her sleeves, and she smiled coquettishly and cutely, and she couldn't help but feel weak, "Why is the Fifth Highness so honest and sincere today, what are you asking, the concubine is a little scared.

" : "Because I also hope that the prince's brother is safe and sound! He is so good-tempered, he will have a better life when he succeeds me in the future! If it were the second emperor's brother..." He flattened his mouth and made an expression of suffering.

Shao Shang curtseyed pleasantly, and said with a smile, "Then I will honor your words."

Ling Budo acted quickly, and the old man Huang returned to the capital from Tu Gaoshan the next day, facing the rough text placed on the imperial case. Ma Feishu was furious and ordered the Tingwei Mansion to conduct a thorough investigation. The old man Ji Zun responded with a stern face, and after jumping around, he caught the person who posted the flying book. Who would have thought that they were just a few idlers in the market, and they were collecting money to do things. They didn't even know the words themselves, and they didn't even know what was written on the flying book.

The emperor was so easy to dismiss, he ordered a deep investigation, and had to find out who was behind the scenes, so after adding people from the North Army Prison and the Chengmen School Lieutenant Camp, the capital continued to jump around.

It is said that everyone who walks will leave traces. There is no impermeable wall in the world. After digging the capital three feet into the ground, which greatly affected the customs industry, I finally found the person who instructed the idlers to post flying books.

As a result, Ji Zun mentioned it again before he could relax. It turned out that the person was a disciple of the late important official Han Qing. He was poor and lonely since he was a child, and Han Qing raised and taught him. As a result, Han Qing committed suicide because of the matter of the prince, and he couldn't calm down.

Since the emperor can't hold grudges, he can only inherit the 'last wish' of his teacher and publicize the consequences of choosing the wrong prince to show that Han Qing is not at fault. After he was arrested and entered the Tingwei Mansion, if Ji Zun had not been on guard earlier, he would have committed suicide by hitting the wall.

Now even the emperor is miserable. He has long regretted Han Qing's death. He didn't expect that both the master and the apprentice were so angry that they would seek death if they disagreed. In addition to being an important minister, Han Qing was also a great scholar in the study of ancient texts and classics. He was well-known for a long time. Some people in the court and the public heard about this and interceded for this disciple, saying that "although the law is inevitable, it is excusable".

In the end, the emperor got off the donkey, picked it up high and put it down gently, sentenced the disciple to a short-distance exile, and hurriedly concluded the case.

After the Empress heard the result, Jiujiu Fang sighed: "What a powerful scheming, looking for a disciple of Lord Han to do this, Your Majesty can't be held accountable."

Shao Shang wondered: "Is that disciple ordered by someone? Why don't you investigate." The

Queen smiled bitterly: "How to investigate this kind of thing. That disciple has so many friends every day with texts, should he arrest all those who mention the prince or allusions to him, and then torture them one by one? "

Shao Shang was dumbfounded.

The queen comforted the girl again: "Okay, this matter is over, don't pouting when you come back to your majesty. Your majesty has been very tired these days. Be good, don't cause trouble, ah!"

Shao Shang said seriously nod.

When the old man came to Changqiu Palace, she was really good. Not only did she use her housekeeping skills to cook a few light and delicious new dishes, but she also told a few silly jokes at home to the empress.

"...In this way, Auntie Qiqi has already passed on to her uncle's house, and my second brother is going to go to Wan's house. Uncle Wan said, 'I also have a son', and took my second brother to the house. The place of fireworks is happy. When Sister Eqi heard about it, she immediately went to question Uncle Wan, 'How can I take my son-in-law to such a place?' , don't control your husband and son-in-law all day - the angry elder sister turned her head and sue my mother." The

emperor smiled: "I still remember the daughter of Wan Songbai, it is very powerful to be able to kill a tiger and dissect her heart!"

"My grandmother is even more powerful." Shaoshang pretended to be afraid, "When grandma found out, she was going to give her second brother a family law, but Uncle Wan stopped him and said, 'Why beat my son?' , the grandmother said, "It's still my son, and I just beat it." Seeing that the second brother was put on the case, he had to practice family law. Who knew that Uncle Wan sat on the ground, rolled all over the ground, and cried-- 'My life is so miserable, I lost my father when I was young, and I have no children; now someone wants to beat my son, who will judge me'..."

She learned so vividly that the emperors and empresses all laughed.

"What about Captain Cheng? He doesn't care." The Queen asked with a smile.

Shao Shang said with a flat mouth: "I hid long ago and disappeared." The

emperor clapped his legs and laughed: "It's good to hide! If you were me, you have to hide too!

" The son who has been in good character for more than ten years, will he immediately fall into bad habits once he adopts it?! Wan Songbai, huh, what happened after that?"

Shaoshang said: "Uncle Wan has already set the incense case and cut off the chicken's head, and swore to the heaven and earth, I will never lead my second brother to do things like one, two, three, four, five." The

emperor asked curiously, "What is one, two, three, four, five, etc.?"

"My mother forced Uncle Wan to write a piece of silk, which is listed on the top. After more than a dozen prohibitions, I didn't read it carefully, in short, Uncle Wan will be considered half a cultivator in the future." The

Empress laughed together.

After laughing, the emperor saw that the queen was in a good mood, so he proposed that the prince should preside over the next month's Shangsi Festival instead of him. The queen knew that the emperor apologized and punished Han Qing's disciples too lightly. She was looking for an opportunity to make up for their mother and son. For a time, the atmosphere in the hall was very harmonious and warm.

The young businessman saw the emperor's gentle demeanor, and obviously wanted that, so he quickly slipped out. After thinking about it, she decided to tell the prince the good news in advance, so that he would not be depressed. The emperor was still very supportive of him.

With the support of the top boss, what else do you need a bike for?

In a hurry, he rushed to the deserted East Palace, and Shaoshang threw money as usual. The eunuch and maid of the East Palace smiled happily and let her enter the inner palace smoothly.

Shao Shang quickened his pace and went in to take a look, almost lost his breath and twisted his nose - the prince was already drunk and crouched on the desk, the second prince was still trying to persuade the prince to drink, and at the same time full of dejected words, what's the courtiers despise you, Secretly saying that you are weak and incompetent', what 'saying that you are not worthy of your virtue, Your Majesty has made you the biggest mistake in your life'... and so on.

Shao Shang took a deep breath, looked around and there was no one else around, he immediately sank to run, and flew towards the second prince's waist and buttocks with a shadowless foot - when she used to be a white gangster!

The second prince was caught off guard, screamed miserably, fell to the floor, pointed at Shaoshang with a trembling voice: "You, you... how dare you be so rude!" After all, he is the prince who was educated by the orthodox, and he has never seen Shaoshang in his dreams. This vixen shape.

"What!" Shaoshang put his hands on his hips, "You can fight back if you have the ability!" She pointed to her face, "Fight here, you're welcome! Fight, you fight..." As long as these two princes dare to do it , she immediately went to the old man with the scar, and she was a coward if she couldn't sue him!

I don't know if the second prince thought of this or if he still had a gentleman's demeanor. In short, his angry face turned several times, but in the end he didn't do anything. He stood up and said angrily: "What are you doing here in the East Palace?!"

"What are you doing here in the East Palace!" Shao Shang snorted back, "And sneaked out while the second concubine was sleeping!"

"What? Come out! I will come if I want, and I will leave if I want to go, who can control me?!" The second prince's face turned blue, and he was described as so wretched that no one would be happy. Two!"

"Forget it, Second Highness, who doesn't know what you're planning." It was rare that there was no one around, and the young merchant was full of momentum, "From Changqiu Palace to the East Palace, along the palace lane, His Royal Highness can find someone who thinks you are right for the prince. Here comes the servants who are in love with each other, I will give you three kowtows and a pair of well-known Chunfangfang elbows!" The

second prince trembled angrily: "You, you, you, don't rely on Ling Budo's power and power If you violate the rules, I want to..."

"Your Majesty thinks that His Majesty has let the Feishu case lightly because he is dissatisfied with the Crown Prince!" Shao Shang decided to break the illusion of these two goods, and it can be considered as a contribution to the country and the people, "No, Your Majesty is just looking at the past. On the face of the deceased Lord Han, he doesn't want to blame his disciple! Just now, His Majesty also told the Empress that he still loves the Prince Chong very much!"

She didn't say anything about the last festival. Telling the prince to make him happy early is one thing, telling others is a leak.

The second prince was so dizzy with anger that he still insisted: "I don't believe you, I want to go home and ask Ah Heng." Ah Heng is the name of the second princess.

After watching the second prince leave the East Palace in a state of despair, he turned his head to see that the prince was still drunk and unconscious. Shaoshang lost his interest in speaking, and waved the alcohol in front of his nose, and then let the palace maids come in to serve the prince to wash and rest.

Coming out of the East Palace, Shao Shang was quite refreshed - the crown prince (temporarily) can sit back and relax, the emperor and empress (re) fell in love with each other, (should) there are no other major things, just wait for Ling Budo to come back!

The East Palace was full of alcohol, and the Changqiu Palace was bubbling with pink bubbles. Shao Shang couldn't think of where he was going, so he wandered aimlessly and walked to an octagonal pavilion. , Qing Junya, long body and jade stand, who is it if it is not Yuan Shen?

Shao Shang was stunned.

Yuan Shen also saw her and greeted her with a smile to enter the pavilion.

Shao Shang walked over and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Yuan Shen pointed to the bamboo slips scroll placed on the stone pier in the pavilion: "At His Majesty's order, I will send it to the East Palace after the doctors have sorted it out. I am the youngest. So I took this errand."

Shaoshang wondered: "Then you should go to the East Palace, what are you doing standing here?"

Yuan Shen hesitated for a moment, and Shaoshang immediately picked up: "Oh, I see, you just saw the second prince just now. Entering the East Palace with a wine urn. You don't want to meet him, and you don't want to be invited to drink with him, so you hide here!"

Yuan Shen smiled bitterly: "When you act stupid, you have to be stupid, can't you pretend to be stupid?"

Shao Shang shrugged: "Who told me that I was born too smart, I can't do anything about it. But..." She moved closer to Yuan Shen, "Who do you think is secretly harming His Royal Highness, this one after another."

A gleam of light flashed in Yuan Shen's eyes, and he was still hesitant, but looking at the girl's big eyes full of anticipation, he suddenly remembered that she had yelled at him, 'Ling Budo has helped me many times, but what are you doing to me? What good has it been?'—he was calm and explained it step by step.

"You always ask who is targeting the prince, but Ling Zisheng didn't say a lot to you in order to comfort you."

"Actually, it's not a single person or a family who is targeting the prince, but many forces Yu Silent. The tacit understanding reached in the silence. For example, the prince's cousin Sun Sheng, in fact, it was a family who lured him into promiscuity and crime, and it was another family who investigated his details and took him as a cause. The people who meet in Zigui Bieyuan are the third family."

"These people don't have a very clear plan, they are just like rodents, constantly and finely hollowing out the wall of the East Palace. Lei, it only takes an opportunity to put His Royal Highness in a predicament immediately."

Shao Shang was dumbfounded. First, she didn't expect Yuan Shen to explain to her one by one today, and second, she was implicated. The meaning behind these words was horrified. She remembered the attacks that the prince had received so far, as if they were all embattled at the first opportunity.

She hurriedly said: "I, I, I know that the old prince Ganan killed many of Jingfang's officials, so they were indignant..."

"Not more!" Yuan Shen interrupted her lightly, "These Those who have hatred with the Gan'an family are nothing to be afraid of, the real hidden dangers are those important ministers who have taken the lives of the Gan'an family."

Shao Shang snorted.

Yuan Shendao: "Do you think that only the old lord Qian An has blood on his hand? Blossoms are watered with flesh and blood. Your Majesty's methods are brilliant, and all the important ministers are not too much. Because of this, even if the prince has never said a word for the Gan'an Palace, can they rest assured? This is about their lives. It 's a big event."

Shao Shang gradually understood, his fingers tightly clenching his sleeves.

Yuan Shen stared into her eyes: "Don't tell me, back then, he personally killed the number one general of the old prince's command, he was also the son-in-law of his eldest daughter, and the cousin of Marquis Yu-although he was also under orders. Do you think that the Yu family What will the family think of the prince?"

A big river appeared in front of Shao Shang's eyes. At first, it was just a small water whirlpool in the middle of the river, but in the process of flowing, every corner has the force to push the water whirlpool, and finally formed a huge whirlpool that can swallow everything.

"That's why they are talking about the allusions of Emperor Xuan's crown prince. To put it bluntly, they want His Majesty to be easy to store!" She said angrily.

Yuan Shen smiled: "Didn't Ling Zisheng also fight back quickly, hum, 'self-proclaimed loyal minister, but Jiang Chong', really good eloquence. More than ten years ago, His Majesty placed Ling Zisheng in Changqiu Palace, and I don't know if I didn't expect today."

"Lord Ling... also acted according to His Majesty's wishes." Shao Shang said softly.

Yuan Shen glanced at her and continued: "That's right, so you don't have to worry too much about the prince. As long as His Majesty still cares about him, the prince will be as secure as a rock. Emperor Jing's smooth and dignified Yi Liaochu, that's because he wants Yi Yi. Chu, civil servants and military generals can't stop him; Emperor Wu's blood flowed into rivers, that's because he didn't want to be easy to Chu, but was designed by villains, so he executed all the important officials, aristocratic and foreign relatives who could benefit from the death of the prince. No matter how many times Emperor Xuan said that the crown prince is not, there is still no Yi Chu in the end. This is Emperor Xuan's intention - in the end, it is your Majesty who is most important."

"With the example of Emperor Wu before, those who secretly want Yi Chu People who are not afraid to imitate Jiang Chong's actions, at most publicize the affairs of the prince's men and women, or post allusions to flying books or something."

"So don't worry, as long as Your Majesty's will remains the same, no one will be able to change it." The

young merchant sat on the stone pier on the other side with mixed feelings. After a while, she tilted her head and said, "Why do I think you are different today than usual."

Yuan Shen laughed at himself: "You finally see it. Well, it's different - I'm engaged.

" Shang was taken aback, and then smiled: "You have been picky for a long time, and you have finally settled on a marriage? Which daughter is it?"

Yuan Shen said lightly: "She is the daughter of the Cai clan in Henan, and the chief executive Cai Yun belongs to this family."

"Wow, you're right, congratulations and congratulations." Shaoshang arched Bai Shengsheng's small fists, and his smiling eyebrows curved.

Yuan Shen said displeased: "You don't have to laugh so happily, it's like getting rid of some burden, I have never pestered you before!"

Shao Shang rolled up his sleeves and said leisurely: "Stop pretending, you You are not someone who acts in anger. You should think twice about what you do. You will be engaged. "

Yuan Shen glared at her for a long time, and finally he laughed first.

"Don't call me such a philistine." He sat on the stone pier opposite the young merchant, "I am sincere in getting married. It's a pity, alas..."

"What a pity, the betrothal gift that the Cai family wants. Too much? Even in the face of my third aunt's ex-fiancé, why would I have to lend you money to get married!"

"Fuck you, there's no good words to talk about—actually, the one I originally wanted to marry was Cai Yunzhi. The girl is the cousin of my current fiancee. She is a really good woman from IKEA. Although she is not outstanding in appearance, she is wise, capable, virtuous and reasonable. It's a pity that she gave a sick child for marriage early, hum, I think sooner or later I'll be a widow!"

"Bah ah ah You also said that my mouth is not good, you are the one who can poison the elephant with saliva! But..."


"But what? Yuan Shen pressed on.Shaoshang suddenly changed his tone: "Why do you get married like a business, don't you want to find someone you really like?" Maybe you will meet such a person in the future. Yuan Shen looked into the distance and said softly, "

Actually, it is not a good thing to use too much affection. ...My mother didn't marry my father at first, and then her ex-husband died. If my grandfather hadn't been begging, my mother would have followed. Shao Shang was startled, how could he tell her such a private matter.

"Although my mother is alive, I know her heart is dead, and all that is left is a pair of skins. Yuan Shen continued talking to himself.

Shaoshang remembered the rumors from the outside world—the mother of the Yuan family is a weird person. The family affairs and her son were ignored, and she devoted herself to cultivating the Tao—I was afraid that she was not cultivating the Tao, but paying homage to her dead love.

Shao Shang suddenly understood Yuan Shen, and there was some wonderful pity for the same sickness—the biological mother was autistic, and the biological father had been guarding the outer shepherd. , she grew into a shrewd and vigilant temperament. She sighed: "In this way, you and I have both parents since childhood, but it seems that we don't. "

Yuan Shen smiled leisurely: "I said earlier, you are very similar. If you hadn't met Ling Budo, you would have thought about it like I did, and then found a husband who was most beneficial to you. "

"Yes. Shao Shang sighed, "However, I still met him. "

Yuan Shen was silent, and after a long time he said sadly, "Yes. "

The author has something to say: Feishu originally referred to letters shot by arrows in the past, and later extended to all letters of unknown origin, just like the hidden meaning of the books passed down by the geese.
