Mochou Lake has a water surface of more than a thousand acres, with pavilions and buildings on the lakeside. The scenery in the lake is endless. Here are blue waves, there are lotus leaves in the sky, and sometimes there are small islands standing in the water. There are some small boats floating around the lake, and some are catching fresh fish.
The owner of this family had a taste of something new. Some of them were samurai responsible for guarding, patrolling around the lake shore in small boats.
Today, Mrs. Dingguo Gong invites the princesses from the Tenth Prince's Palace and some royal ladies from the Xunqi family to go out to the lake. All of them have golden branches and jade leaves. Naturally, they have to be extra careful to prevent anyone from colliding with each other. Besides, there are all princesses on the boat.
According to the imperial edict, a group of women went out to play in the lake. There were no male guests, so it was inevitable that they would be a bit casual and it was not appropriate for outsiders to see anything.
Ming'er, several princesses, and several royal wives stood at the bow of the ship and watched the lake view for a while, then went back to the cabin to play leaf cards with others. After half an hour, they beat their waists and complained that they were tired, and went back to the cabin.
Went for a break.
This large painting boat is three stories high, with a magnificent appearance and a quiet and elegant cabin. The princesses, wives, and daughters each have their own bedrooms for rest. Ming'er's bedroom is on the highest floor. She climbed up the stairs and returned to the cabin.
As soon as Zhong sat down, he heard a gentle knock on the door. Qiaoyun hurriedly opened the door. Crown Princess Zhang was standing at the cabin door.
Ming'er quickly stood up and Yingyingfu bowed: "I have met the Crown Princess!"
"No gifts, madam!"
Mrs. Zhang quickly stepped forward, lifted Ming'er up, and said with a smile: "Aunt Ming, why are you so formal when we meet in private?"
The two are relatives. In terms of seniority, Ming'er is the biological aunt of her husband Zhu Gaochi, but Zhu Gaochi is now the prince, Zhang is the future queen, and the two are monarchs and ministers, so they have to meet each other with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister before talking about it.
The generation of your own relatives.
Ming'er smiled and said: "The etiquette that should be adhered to is still indispensable."
Zhang's family is quiet and virtuous, filial and gentle. She really attaches great importance to etiquette. Although she has a gentle temperament, she will not blame Ming'er if she is not polite, but the way of monarch and ministers is very important to her. She is polite in her mouth, but she is still happy in her heart.
, then she also smiled gently and said, "Aunt Ming, let's sit down and talk."
The two of them sat on the edge of the couch and chatted a few words about home affairs. Then they got back to the main topic. Every time they get together, they would take time to meet privately and exchange some things. Ming'er said: "I heard that someone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate was impeached.
The prince scolded the ministers, and the emperor became angry and issued an edict condemning the prince."
Mrs. Zhang suppressed her smile, sighed quietly, and said, "No, the prince is kind-hearted and honest. If he is not extremely angry, he will lose his temper."
Mrs. Zhang carefully explained why Zhu Gaochi was angry, and sighed: "It seems that this matter is just a temporary food shortage in one place. One mistake may cause a series of major events. The prince was angry because of this. He was a little carried away for a while and didn't want to give up."
I was scolded by the emperor."
Ming'er listened carefully and said softly, "Oh." "That's it. The prince can write a petition to appeal to the emperor for his grievances."
Mrs. Zhang said: "My nephew-in-law also said so, but the prince refused. Aunt Ming, you don't know that although your nephew is honest and honest, sometimes he gets so stubborn that even nine oxen can't hold him back. He treats me badly."
He said that when a father teaches his son and the emperor reprimands his ministers, no matter whether they are right or wrong, they should not be disobedient. The emperor was far away in Beijing, so he taught himself a few words for his father and made a special statement. He mixed it with state affairs and wasted his father's time.
His mind? He can’t bear the slightest grievance. What big things can such an inconscientious person do? Say he..., ugh!"
Ming'er smiled slightly and said: "The prince is right, this matter may make the emperor a little unhappy, but if the prince is eager to defend himself, the emperor will look down on him. Once it is proved that the emperor listened to others and blamed him wrongly,
, it will inevitably make the emperor lose face. The prince is both a minister and a son. This kind of loyalty and filial piety is rare. Sooner or later, the emperor will understand the prince's painstaking efforts."
Zhang said: "My niece also knows this truth, but she is still a little worried. I think it is because she has not yet cultivated her character."
Ming'er's eyes flashed and asked: "Then the prince is in a bad mood because of this matter?"
Mrs. Zhang laughed out loud and said: "Aunt Ming, you don't know his temperament. I used to laugh at him because he was broad-minded and fat, but he didn't admit it. He just said it was his natural constitution. He has no such temperament at all.
He takes things seriously, still eats and sleeps well, reviews memorials and does his best, and handles things responsibly and responsibly. He said that God rewards hard work. I think he is a good old man."
Ming'er smiled sweetly, with a line of red lips revealing a pair of fine white and neat teeth, and said: "The prince is unfazed by favors and humiliations. This is the heart of the prince. Someone deliberately instigates and accuses the prince. If the emperor knows, he will indeed scold the prince.
But can it shake the crown prince's status just by scolding him? No, then why does this traitor still do this?"
Mrs. Zhang's expression changed and she quickly said: "Aunt Ming, you also know that both my husband and I are very honest..."
Ming'er smiled and said: "That person's original intention was not to use this trivial matter to falsely accuse the prince, but to disturb the prince's mind. The prince is in charge of the country, and if he feels resentful because of being blamed, then this
Do you think it would make the emperor feel disgusted if he piled up pickets and got into trouble? Or maybe the prince was in a state of chaos after being blamed. He was afraid that something would go wrong again, so he didn't dare to take care of the things that should be dealt with. If he encountered any problems, he would push them to Beijing without asking for help.
You have merit but seek no fault. Because of this, important national affairs have been delayed. Will the emperor be disappointed?"
Mrs. Zhang let out a soft sigh. It was also because of the hot weather. She was shocked again and broke out in a cold sweat. She knew that if the emperor did not drive the King of Han out of the capital, her husband's position as prince would not be secure.
Ming'er said softly: "So, the prince is as wise as a fool, so he can cope with all changes by remaining unchanged and calmly neutralizing the other party's sinister intentions."
Empress Zhang was frightened and said: "What Aunt Ming said is that my nephew and daughter-in-law are confused. Fortunately, the prince did not listen to me."
Ming'er gently pulled Zhang and whispered to her: "It is not harmful to people, but tigers are harmful to people's hearts. Although the prince did this, he defused the other party's sinister plan, but it was only a means of self-protection and was not enough.
To fight back. Anyone who can always be on guard may fall into the trap if he is careless. It is better to eliminate this disaster as soon as possible."
This was not the first time that the two had interacted with each other. Yang Xu often communicated with the prince secretly through his wife's diplomacy. After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang understood the situation and pretended to be resentful: "The emperor has always disliked the prince. The prince is careful in his conduct and still does his duty."
If you think it’s not enough, what should you do about this situation?”
Ming'er smiled slightly and said: "Just follow the plan..."

In the back garden of the Han Dynasty's palace, there were four plates of side dishes and a pot of old wine.
Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han Dynasty, sat at the top, accompanied by Chen Ying. The two drank and chatted.
Chen Yingdao: "Your Highness, the old minister's nephew and daughter are fortunate to have His Highness take action..."
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said: "Hey, your business is my business. If I don't help you, who will help you? Don't say such heretical things. By the way, after the imperial edict came back, what was the prince's reaction?"
Chen Ying smiled slightly and said: "It's better than I expected. I thought that if he felt aggrieved and depressed and stopped working, that would be the best thing for him. Or if he didn't dare to make the decision when things happened, he would push everything to Beijing.
It may also offend the emperor, but unexpectedly the prince is as calm as ever, reviewing memorials and attending to official affairs as usual."
Zhu Gaoxu was greatly disappointed when he heard this, and said irritably: "Cultivation of your character! Cultivation of your character! His character has been cultivated for thousands of years. He is an old tortoise. He just hides in his shell, but I can't do anything."
Chen Ying chuckled and said: "Your Highness, I haven't finished speaking yet. I originally thought that the prince would be unfazed by favors and humiliations, but he would be unfazed by the wind, but later I heard some news..."
Zhu Gaoxu perked up and asked hurriedly: "How?"
Chen Yingdao: "Since the second day after being reprimanded by the emperor, the prince has lost his appetite and has restless sleep. The old minister also inquired that the prince asked the imperial doctor to prescribe several pills for reducing phlegm and removing fire. It seems that he is not doing anything.
The way he moved was just trying to force himself to be seen by others, and he still felt very depressed."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "What's the use of that? Is it possible to kill him with such a thing?"
Chen Ying said: "Hey, your highness, this shows that the prince is actually very nervous about his status. He also knows that if you don't leave the capital for a day, his throne will be unstable. Although we didn't get what we wanted this time, we still tried.
I've lost his weight, just give him eye drops a few more times..."
Zhu Gaoxu understood and laughed. He picked up the wine pot, poured a glass of wine for Chen Ying, and said affectionately: "My Lord Chen, I have to rely on you to strategize. I lead the troops in battle, and there is no problem in fighting on the battlefield. These intrigues
No matter how good the facts are, as long as you can assist me and overthrow the prince, one day the king of Japan will take over the throne, and you will be the chief assistant of my cabinet, and you will be granted the title of a marquis or a duke!"
Chen Ying was flattered and quickly held the cup and said: "His Highness thinks so highly of you, I will not hesitate to grieve for His Highness!"
When the two of them were expressing sympathy for each other, Xia Xun hurriedly entered the prince's womb.
After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, because his identity was too sensitive, he always lived in seclusion and no longer had much contact with the courtiers. Therefore, Xia Xun no longer easily met the prince, but tried his best to keep in touch with the prince's uterus through his wife. But today, he
I came here at the invitation of the prince.
The prince supervises the country, and should report to the emperor any disaster or decision. If the matter is urgent, he can discuss the solution with the courtiers and report the solution to the emperor urgently. This power is too sensitive. Once it is not mastered well, it will easily arouse the emperor's suspicion.
, so the prince didn't use it easily. Last time, he got angry and called the officials from the Ministry of Revenue to discuss state affairs, and scolded them a few words. As a result, the emperor criticized him. If he had to, the prince would not call officials easily again.
But he had to find someone to discuss what happened today, and the person he trusted and who was familiar with the situation at the place where the incident occurred was none other than Xia Xun. So, Xia Xun stepped in for the first time since Zhu Gaochi was established as the prince.
The uterus of the prince.
