Chapter 106; What do you know?

"It is said that this gentleman from Wanfu Township was sent to a farm since he was a child and had no one to educate him."

"These two times, it seems that she is quite shrewd."

Listening to Emperor Hongwen's unchanging voice of joy and anger.

Li De knew in his heart that Wanfu Xiangjun's two rejections made the emperor extremely unhappy and dissatisfied.

If it hadn't been Lord Wanfuxiang who presented these few good things to the Emperor's satisfaction, if it had been anyone else, I'm afraid the end would have been miserable.

"It's that person's daughter, so she's naturally pretty."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen turned to look at Li De, with a hint of complexity and guilt in his originally displeased eyes.

After a long time, he shook his head.

"You were right, at first"

Wasn't Lu Yunjun a smart and lovely person back then?

Nowadays, he misses his days in Jiangdong from time to time.

Thinking about Lu Yaoyao's casual conversation just now, his already similar face made him feel a little dazed.

"That's all, this girl Wanfu seems to me to be someone who doesn't like right and wrong, so just follow her."

"Old slave, I think Wanfu Xiangjun is very good like this."

Seeing the change in Emperor Hongwen's expression, Li De knew that he was thinking of the old Lu Yunjun and no longer wanted to care about the two rejections.

"Xiangjun has a heart for the country and the people."

"yes."

Emperor Hongwen responded, his eyes blank for a moment.

The mother and daughter are really alike. They both have a loving and kind heart for the country and the people.

It's just that Lu Yunjun was trapped in the inner house at the time and could not express his ideals and ambitions.

If it were myself

He shook his head, what was the use of thinking about it now that it was over?

"Miss, why are you running?"

"No one is chasing you here."

Besides, Lu Yaoyao walked quickly towards the outside of the palace after leaving the Imperial Study Room, his pace getting faster and faster.

"You don't understand, leave now. We'd better not come to this palace in the future."

It's scary to think about it. At this time, Lu Yaoyao still had a lingering fear on his face.

He greeted Qiu Yu and quickly left the palace, leaving the palace guards stunned for a moment.

They all turned their heads and looked inside the palace gate, thinking that there seemed to be no vicious dogs in the palace.

Why are you so scared to Mr. Wanfuxiang?

When he got on the carriage, Lu Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, are you concerned?"

"Things that others would never dream of happening have happened to you, and you are so frightened. If word of this spreads, I don't know how many people will be envious, jealous, and hateful."

Lu Yaoyao, who was panting beside him, glanced at her.

"What do you know?"

"I tell you, the most dangerous place in the world is this palace."

"And the most painful thing for a woman is to marry into the royal family."

"Don't be fooled by superficial wealth."

In her previous life, she had read countless palace-fighting dramas and palace-fighting novels.

At that time, she also thought about experiencing this feeling if she had the chance.

That's because it's impossible, so it's a pity.

When she found out there was an opportunity, her first thought was not to experience it, but to resist it.

After all, in this strange world, living is more important than anything else.

The palace, a place that eats people without spitting out their bones, is frightening just looking at it. These few times she entered the palace, it was always on her mind.

Every time she communicated with the emperor, what was on her mind the most and what she was most afraid of was the sudden remark from the emperor.

"Come on, push her out and kill her with a stick, or push her out and chop her head off."

As for why she was so scared and kept entering the palace again and again.

There is no way, it's all for the present and future of the Lu family.

Speaking of the royal family, it made her shudder even thinking about it.

"Is it so scary?"

"Of course it's scary. Don't you think about it, why hasn't His Majesty established a crown prince yet?"

"People outside say that the eldest prince is the eldest son of the royal palace, and his position as prince is certain."

"But why has His Majesty been so slow to do something that is certain?"

Her words made Qiu Yu a little confused.

This is indeed the case. When people outside now mention this matter, they all say that the eldest prince's position as prince is secure.

But His Majesty has been silent for a long time, which is strange.

"You don't know this, right?"

"It's true that the eldest prince is the eldest son of the royal palace. There is really no way for other princes to compete with him."

"But it is precisely because of his status that His Majesty has not been able to let him get his wish."

"Why is this? Since Your Majesty knows that he is the most suitable, why not just give it to him?"

Qiu Yu didn't like to use her brain. She really couldn't guess what Emperor Hongwen was thinking.

"Of course it's because of the Queen and the Duke."

"Think about how powerful they are. One is a noble queen, and the other is the Duke of Zhenguo who controls more than 70% of Dongzhou's troops."

"It is indeed in line with the rules to establish the eldest prince, but if the eldest prince who becomes the crown prince one day wants to take a step further, what do you think will happen?"

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Yu seemed to understand something.

"Do you really think His Majesty said it was a good thing for me to marry the second prince?"

"It's a big mistake. He is just increasing the bargaining chip for the second prince and using it to check and balance the eldest prince."

This time Qiu Yu was confused again.

What is this all about?

Aren't we going to talk about why the eldest prince hasn't been established as prince yet?

Why did it suddenly involve the second prince again?

"Think about how many people in Dongzhou will benefit from sweet potatoes once they are fully promoted?"

"Think about it again after the advent of rice paper and printing, how many scholars will be grateful?"

"Plus this pig raising thing."

"What do you think will happen after it spreads all over the world?"

Qiu Yu knows that by then, everyone in the world will be grateful to her young lady.

"It seems that you know it, but do you know that there is an old saying that says, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world?"

Qiu Yu nodded and combed through what Lu Yaoyao just said in her mind.

"My slave understands."

"Behind the eldest prince, there is a queen who already controls the country. She controls the world's troops and horses, and is very powerful."

"Among the other princes, the third prince and the fourth prince are still young. Only the second prince can use it. Besides, behind the second prince there is also Zhongyonghou, his grandfather who holds military power."

"If you add in the support of the people of the world, you might as well be able to compete with the eldest prince."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yaoyao cast an appreciative look.

"It seems you are not too stupid."

"Then think about it again, if what His Majesty said today comes true, will I immediately become a thorn in the side of the First Prince and his faction? What will I face then?"

A layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on Qiu Yu's back.

"Now regarding the Lu family, although His Majesty has expressed his attitude, the matter has not yet been resolved."

"If the eldest prince and his faction are obstructing them at this time, and coupled with the high minister, how can they do well?"

Even a high-ranking prime minister has already made them somewhat stretched. If the eldest prince's faction is added to the mix, how can there be room for the Lu family in Dongzhou?
