The next day, the Holy Emperor found out about this matter. Even Hua Yourong, who was in Zaibieyuan, got the news. Princess Changping was kidnapped and almost assassinated. The Holy Emperor was furious. You know, Princess Changping is the Queen Mother's favorite.

The eldest princess was able to come back from Jinling to attend the birthday banquet. The queen mother was in a good mood and her illness was much better. If her elders found out, it would definitely not do any good to her condition.

Zheng Peng, the Minister of Punishment, and Tang Heng, Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion, were also taken to the Minister's room after the morning court to reflect on their mistakes. After being scolded, they went back in disgrace. At night, people were arranged to guard near the Princess Mansion. In the future, Princess Changping

If you go out, someone must report it and follow up and protect you.

"Princess, the second prince is here." After the maid reported, Lu Yutong put down the tea cup in her hand, put on a gauze and stood up to greet him.

The second prince passed through the corridor and arrived under the garden pavilion where Lu Yutong was. Lu Yutong also came down from the second floor to greet him.

"I have met the second prince." Lu Yutong saluted extremely politely. Although she is the eldest princess, the second prince should also be called aunt, but the three princes are all future princes. Sooner or later, this Great Xia Dynasty will be

It is not wrong for her, as an elder, to bow to the things she wants to hand over to them, and to be respectful and orderly.

The second prince Xia Junhao hurriedly supported Lu Yutong. Although he was different in generation, his actual age was only two years younger than Lu Yutong. Lu Yutong's appearance was also famous in the Fengyue Ranking, but Xia Junhao admired him more.

It's not these things.

Lu Yutong has always maintained a relatively subtle relationship with the three princes. Especially after the three princes were crowned weak, Lu Yutong was even more cautious and did not get too close to any one of them, so as not to be labeled as a clique.

, if it reaches the ears of some people, it will make a big fuss.

Because of Lu Yutong's seniority, before the reform, she was extremely concerned about government affairs. She actively participated in all these things, including policies that benefited the country and the people, and where to provide flood relief.

After Xi's argument, neither Donglin Society nor Donglin Academy was implicated, but the imperial court also criticized Donglin Society.

And she suffered a series of changes, so she came to Hangzhou and met Jiang Ning.

After that, she no longer cared about these things, but started doing business. In Luoyang, Hangzhou, Suzhou, even Chengdu, Yingtian and other places, as long as there was good land or store transfer, she would consider it and sell it.

The things are naturally those of Liu Ji.

The ingredient list and production method are also being prepared for people to go to Hangzhou to find Liu Sisi in person and open a store in a cooperative manner.

It is true that these things are all under pseudonyms, and the person who actually operated them only knows that he is a wealthy businessman in the capital, but he does not know who he is.

The reason why Lu Yutong was so obscure was that she did not want to use her identity as Princess Changping, which would have political overtones, and also to leave a way out for herself. Although Emperor Shenwu is now on the throne, she has not been seen yet.

If everything is safe, you still have to leave a way for yourself, otherwise what happened in Jinling will happen in Luoyang.

This is because after Lu Yutong returned to Luoyang, no one pursued the Jinling incident, and she could only say that it was Fang La's conspiracy, the purpose was to alienate the army outside the city. Fortunately, Ning Que and Gao Qiu Kuai

Only when she cut through the tangle of knots, broke through it with strength, and crushed the conspiracy, was she able to come out of Jinling.

In this way, her heart no longer has much to rely on. Now that the Queen Mother is still there, although Emperor Shenwu is in his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period, his health will not be much better with Hua Yourong and Gusu Mu around. Therefore, the government and the public are most concerned about it at the moment.

There are two things at stake, the first is the candidate for the crown prince, and the second is the situation at the border.

Now that the Right Prime Minister has improved, and the Left Prime Minister has calmed down Fang La, the internal worries have been resolved, and the external troubles have also turned around, the crown prince issue has been put on the agenda again.

Since the Queen Mother's birthday party, the censors at the Censorship Station have intensified their efforts to submit memorials to the cabinet, requesting the Holy One to confirm the crown prince and stabilize the country.

Although the two prime ministers and the three cabinet bosses have strong professional capabilities, no one dared to express their opinion on this matter. They handed over the memorial exactly as it was, and then got scolded and kicked out. Repeatedly, no one dared to express their opinions.

Can't stand it.

Finally, the Grand Master came up with an idea. Put these folds in a pile and see how many there are. After the report in the Chancery's study room, by the way, how many people have talked about this matter again. Your Majesty, just listen to it.

.

Sure enough, after saying this, the Holy One acted as if he had not heard anything, waved his hand and let him go.

Among the three princes, the second prince Xia Junhao is the eldest son of the emperor. According to the ancestral system of establishing the elder rather than the younger, he is the most likely. In addition, the second prince is now in charge of the household department and the personnel department.

Money bag, anyone with a discerning eye will know that this is a test for him, and it is also an important task entrusted to him.

The fourth prince, Xia Junqiu, and the fifth prince, Xia Junsheng, were close to Zhu Xi. They were in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Work, and studied poetry and songs all day long.

The other one became a disciple of Qiao Tong, the master of the Sword Sect. He was trained in General Tiance's Mansion since he was a child. He was personally taught by the general, and he was very close to the fourth prince, and was in charge of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War.

Lu Yutong clearly knows that she still has some weight now. No matter who she prefers, she will give him some help. After all, she still has prestige among the people. What's more important is that she was the one before Dali Temple and Yushitai.

Although she doesn't care about it now, she single-handedly discovered and promoted the current Yushitai Fuyuan Guo Zhenyan and Dali Temple Fuyuan Qiu Ming.

During the New Year and holidays, the two of them would also visit Lu Yutong in person.

The Dali Temple is in charge of all officials' files and case judgments, while the Yushitai uses the pen as the sword and is the mouth of the people of the world.

Xia Junhao hurriedly raised his hands and saluted: "It's time for Junhao to pay his respects to his aunt."

Lu Yutong smiled and said: "The second prince is joking, please come upstairs."

Xia Junhao laughed and invited Lu Yutong to go upstairs first.

When the two of them arrived upstairs, the fragrant tea had already been brewed. The maid went downstairs, and they were alone upstairs.

Xia Junhao leaned on the railing and looked out into the distance. He had a panoramic view of the entire back garden. He turned around and asked with concern: "I just heard about what happened yesterday. The last time I heard, this person ran away. Now the Ministry of Punishment and Jingzhao Mansion are investigating.

Regarding the spy matter, I came here to see my aunt today, and I feel relieved to see that you are fine."

Lu Yutong smiled slightly, compared with all the autumn chrysanthemums in the garden, and said: "Thank you to the second prince for thinking about me. Everything is fine. Fortunately, Zhang Shoujing, the proposal secretary, arrived in time. Speaking of which, I also want to thank this secretary."

Thank you, sir."

"Oh? Is this true?" Xia Junhao said: "If it is true, of course it must be well rewarded."

Xia Junhao was in charge of the staff, so he naturally had some rights. The two chatted for a while, but saw the fourth prince and fifth prince appearing outside the courtyard from a distance.

Xia Junhao's expression changed slightly. He knew that these two people must have gotten the message. Knowing that he was coming, he also rushed over. He immediately smiled and said: "Auntie is enjoying a good rest. When I get back, I will ask someone to pick some soothing mountain ginseng and give it to auntie. This

The two brothers are here, and I'm afraid they'll bother my aunt again, so I'll leave first."

Lu Yutong knew that the relationship between the three of them was delicate, especially the two brothers Xia Junhao and Xia Junqiu, who were almost like enemies. He smiled and said: "I will send the second prince down. The back door is open. Qinghe, you will take the second prince through the back door later."
