Madness brings disaster

Emperor Hongwen nodded with great satisfaction.

Although he was afraid of his eldest prince, it was undeniable that among the few princes he had, the eldest prince was also the one he was more satisfied with.

If it weren't for the influence of Zhenguo Gong, he would not have let his position as crown prince suffer such twists and turns.

"Now that he's on the right track over there, when he comes back, I'll make arrangements for him to join the six divisions to experience one or two."

Hearing this, Queen Wang was overjoyed, which was a very good thing.

When a prince joins the Sixth Department, he can better win over the courtiers. All members of her royal family are military generals.

Since ancient times, military generals have been most susceptible to the suspicion of emperors, and she also clearly understands some of Emperor Hongwen's recent practices.

The town government cannot continue like this and must release some of its rights.

Otherwise, not only will her prince be unable to ascend to the throne, but the Duke's palace will also be in big trouble, and may even be wiped out.

"Everything is subject to His Majesty's arrangement."

The purpose of this trip was overachieved, and the haze in Queen Wang's heart during this period was also swept away.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have been granted the title of Princess of Wanfu?"

Hearing this, the smile on Emperor Hongwen's face dropped and he turned to look at Queen Wang.

"Why, the queen also has opinions on this matter?"

"Of course not. I believe that your Majesty will not be promoted to the throne for no reason. It must be a blessing and a great achievement."

Queen Wang didn't take it too seriously when it came to Wan Fu Jin being granted the title of princess.

After all, he is just a princess.

On the contrary, she is quite optimistic about Princess Wanfu now.

In less than a year, he has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, and has been promoted from a commoner to a princess. I heard that he is also deeply trusted by His Majesty. It is too late to win over such a person, how can she go back and provoke him?

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen had a smile on his face again.

"Wanfu's contribution this time is very considerable. Even being granted the title of princess is far from enough. However, she is a daughter, so I can only owe her a debt."

Queen Wang was shocked, how great was this contribution? Princess Jinfeng still felt indebted?

But she was also a smart person. Emperor Hongwen didn't tell him, and she didn't ask.

"In less than a year, Wanfu has indeed done a lot for Dongzhou, and it should be so."

"But I heard that many ministers in the court today have opinions on this. What are your Majesty's plans?"

"Hmph, all those ministers are just dogs of the Han family."

When this matter was mentioned, Emperor Hongwen's face immediately showed anger, and the good mood he had brought back from Chengyuan Villa was completely ruined.

His imperial edict was only sent to the Lu family yesterday, and that night, more than twenty memorials of opposition were sent to the palace.

This morning at court, before any serious business could be discussed, officials from the Han family stood up one after another and said that it was inappropriate for him to be promoted to Princess Wanfu.

The noisy situation made him very unhappy, and in the end he simply said, "I have already opened my mouth, there is no need for further discussion," and went to court angrily.

"Your Majesty, calm down. In recent years, the Han family has become more and more domineering and arrogant. You have dealt with Han Chengjie before, but I am afraid that the head of the Han family will not let it go."

"He dares!"

Emperor Hongwen was immediately furious.

What do you mean by not giving up? Who is the Han family?

He is the lord of Dongzhou, and the Han family is just a subject of Dongzhou.

"It's okay if he doesn't come this time. If he dares to come, I would also like to ask him if the Han family has the will to do so."

Hearing this, Queen Wang frowned slightly and said quickly, "Your Majesty, please don't act out of emotion. Although the Han family deserves to die, they are still useful at the moment. It's not time to quarrel."

These words relieved Emperor Hongwen's anger a little.

Indeed, the Han family has too many things in their hands now. Once they break up, no one knows what unexpected things will happen.

Although Dongzhou has seemed peaceful in recent years, there have been frequent minor frictions between the border and the three surrounding countries.

Especially in winter, it is the peak period when wars occur frequently.

On the Xirong side, every winter, they would frequently knock on the border, raid and rob Dongzhou towns on the border.

A battle had just broken out a few days ago, with dozens of soldiers killed and wounded on Dongzhou's side, and hundreds of civilian casualties, although they also killed more than a hundred people on the other side.

However, according to the secret information of the generals guarding the border, the snow on the Xirong side is very heavy this year, and their frequency of knocking on the border this year is two to three times that in the past.

If the severe cold continues, I'm afraid Xirong will invade Dongzhou with a large force.

Xirong is a vast grassland, and its subjects are nomadic. Every year's cold winter is a big trouble for them, and there will be large-scale material shortages.

Therefore, in the cold winter, they would frequently knock on the border and steal property and food from Dongzhou.

If it really continues, Xirong will have no food available, and a large-scale invasion is not impossible.

If a war really breaks out, he will have a headache. If the Han family makes trouble again at this time, it will be internal and external troubles.

"I have my own opinion."

Emperor Hongwen said this, walked to the dragon chair and sat down, picked up a memorial and read it.

Seeing this, Queen Wang also resigned in a sensible manner.

Chengyuan Villa.

Lu Yaoyao sent all the guests away, and even Cheng Lixue, Wen Miaomiao, and Dong Shaner also left with their families.

"Where is that guy?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Qiu Shuang immediately understood who she was asking about.

"The servant imprisoned him in the dark room of the manor."

"Take me to see it."

Lu Yaoyao's eyes turned cold.

Dare to attack her second uncle, Han Chengjie is so bold.

Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yu took Lu Yaoyao to the darkroom where Han Chengjie was detained.

The current Han Chengjie does not look like a noble son at all. It is obvious that he was dealt with a lot after being captured by Qiu Shuang.

At this time, he was tied to the cross with ropes and was still in a coma. There were many bloody marks from whips all over his body, including two on his face.

"How did it happen?"

"This guy talks dirty, and even after being caught, he continued to be arrogant. This slave really can't stand it."

"It really needs to be sorted out."

Lu Yaoyao curled his lips, thinking that this Han family member had no idea where he came from to be so confident, and how could he be so arrogant even after being caught.

If the sky is crazy, it will rain, and if people are crazy, there will be disaster. This saying is absolutely true.

"Wake up."

When her voice fell, Qiu Yu grabbed a bucket on the side and poured it straight towards Han Chengjie.

The biting coldness made Han Chengjie tremble all over and he woke up instantly.

As soon as he saw Lu Yaoyao, resentment and anger suddenly appeared on Han Chengjie's face.

"Lu Yaoyao, you little bitch, how dare you treat this young master like this. When this young master goes out, I will lead my men to kill the entire Lu family."

Yes, he is really crazy.

"You still want to go out?"

Lu Yaoyao glanced at him lightly, and the cold and murderous intent in his eyes made Han Chengjie's expression change drastically.

"what are you up to?"

"No, you don't dare to kill me."

"You're just a useless person, why wouldn't I dare? The Gao family has been exterminated by me, so who do you think you are?"

Saying this has proved that Lu Yaoyao has no intention of letting Han Chengjie go.

"What did you say?"
