What Concubine Duan said was true, because she also hoped that the emperor would not try his best to stop the fight between several princes.
Otherwise, how could her son of Concubine Duan stand out?
If Chen Changfeng really took over the throne, how could he let his mother and son go?
When the emperor heard Concubine Duan's words, he was immediately stunned.
Mentioning Chen Changfeng, the emperor really sighed.
If it weren't for the second and third princes fighting with Chen Changfeng, Chen Changfeng would probably still be walking dogs and fighting cocks on the streets of the capital.
Where could there be the Ming Prince who is now shocked by the seven countries!
Concubine Duan said that by letting the princes continue to fight, she might be able to see Chen Changfeng's abilities to a greater extent.
After all, he is the emperor, so when something happens, he can easily suppress a few people.
Besides, now that I am in middle age, if I abdicate so early, what will I do in the following days?
"What Concubine Duan said makes sense. If the second and third sons weren't arguing with that boy, that boy wouldn't know what a bastard he is now."
"We have to let them fight, so that our Ming Empire can have hope." The emperor said with a smile.
Concubine Duan breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Concubine Duan also knew in her heart that the emperor definitely did not want to abdicate so early. What he said to her was just to let her find a reason to persuade the emperor himself.
"Your Majesty, the imperial examination will be held soon. The third child has been idle at home since he was punished last time. I would like to ask your majesty to allow the third child to contribute to the imperial examination." Concubine Duan suddenly mentioned the approaching matter.
The first spring of the Ming Empire.
It is no longer possible to stop the civil service examination.
The third prince has suffered a huge loss in power in the army. If he still finds a way to find some fresh blood from the imperial examination.
Sooner or later, the third prince will lose influence in the court.
This is not what Concubine Duan wants to see.
When the emperor heard Concubine Duan mention the imperial examination, his expression immediately darkened.
The emperor knew very well what Concubine Duan was thinking.
The reason why the emperor agreed to the imperial examination was to change the court's official selection system and cleanse the court of hundreds of years of dust.
Now Concubine Duan wants to help the third prince intervene in the imperial examination?
"Concubine Duan, your white fungus soup tastes wrong. I won't drink it today." The emperor stood up, and Concubine Duan was stunned by his sudden ruthlessness.
Looking at the emperor's leaving figure, Concubine Duan felt regretful in her heart.
If only I weren't so eager for quick success, maybe what happened just now wouldn't have happened...
…
Wing On Restaurant.
This is an ordinary restaurant in Yizhou.
The location is two streets away from Yizhou Dudufu.
The restaurant owner heard that His Royal Highness the Prince, who had massacred everyone in Yizhou, was going to visit his restaurant in person, so he was not so frightened that he ran away.
After learning that Chen Changfeng was here to meet someone, the restaurant manager felt a little calmer.
Looking at the handle of the black-armored guard at the top of the stairs, the restaurant manager carefully wiped away the cold sweat.
I don't dare to offend His Royal Highness, otherwise I might be pushed to death in a stinking ditch while walking one day.
When Chen Changfeng walked upstairs, Qi Yue was already standing there waiting.
Still wearing purple clothes and a bamboo hat, his true appearance cannot be seen.
"Miss Qi Yue, I haven't had time to thank you for the two previous helpings. I have offended a lot about the Governor's Mansion. I'm sorry." Chen Changfeng's oncoming apology made Qi Yue stunned.
Qi Yue had been thinking before that with Chen Changfeng's attitude towards her in the Dudu Mansion, there would definitely be nothing to talk about in today's meeting.
I will definitely not give Qisha face anymore when the time comes.
I have been out of the mountain for so long, and I have never been afraid of anyone, and the Ming Prince is no exception.
He didn't want Chen Changfeng to see him, so he apologized to himself.
This made Qi Yue not ready for a while.
"No...it's okay." Qi Yue felt that she was also confused.
Originally, it was Chen Changfeng who scolded him first, and he should apologize to himself.
Why do you start to stutter when you speak?
"Junior sister, are you okay? Why are you still stuttering?" Qisha was also surprised.
This junior sister is always quick to talk and has a very irritable personality. She never stutters when she speaks. Why did she suddenly stutter today?
"It's none of your business, the food and wine are ready outside, you go over there and wait." Qi Yue did not hesitate to treat Qisha, just deal with it.
Qisha didn't say anything, just shook his head helplessly, obviously he was used to Qi Yue's attitude.
"You, come with me." Qi Yue looked at Chen Changfeng, stunned, and asked Chen Changfeng to follow her.
Chen Changfeng felt that the world's best swordsman in front of him must have something wrong with his mind.
Otherwise, how could he change his expressions in just a few breaths?
"Hey, Chen Changfeng, did you write the song "Kill a Man in Ten Steps, Leave No Leave in a Thousand Miles"?" Chen Changfeng was about to open the door and enter the room.
Suddenly I heard Qi Yue ask.
"Is there any problem?" Chen Changfeng said with a slight smile.
"No problem, it's well written, I like it very much." Qi Yue was silent for a moment, and then said.
Chen Changfeng nodded and was about to push the door open when he suddenly withdrew his hand and looked curiously at the bamboo hat and veil on Qi Yue's head: "Miss Qi Yue, can I ask you a question?"
Qi Yue looked at Chen Changfeng doubtfully: "Okay."
"Why do you always wear a hat and veil?"
"Is it because you are ugly..."
"boom!"
Chen Changfeng didn't even see Qi Yue draw his sword clearly.
The door was cut into two parts by Qi Yue, and the upper part fell to the ground, hitting Chen Changfeng's instep.
"Oh, it really hurts!" Chen Changfeng gritted his teeth.
Zhang Liang in the room also changed his color slightly. He looked up at Chen Changfeng, then bowed slightly and held his hands in his hands: "Zhang Liang, a country man, meets His Highness the Prince of Ming Dynasty."
"Brother Zhang's name has been respected for a long time." Chen Changfeng gritted his teeth and did not dare to touch the ground even after being hit.
Zhang Liang came over and helped Chen Changfeng sit down, and said with a wry smile: "My junior sister has a bit of a temper. The prince should try not to provoke her in the future."
"I wanted to make a joke with Miss Qi Yue, but I brought it upon myself." Chen Changfeng waved his hand.
It was true that he went too far this time, and he brought it upon himself to get hurt.
Zhang Liang nodded secretly in his heart.
If an ordinary person is hurt by a woman, no matter what, he will at least complain about the woman.
But Chen Changfeng only said that it was his own fault.
This kind of self-reflective attitude is indeed rare.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a broad mind, which I have only seen in my entire life, but I don't know what His Highness the Crown Prince thinks of the current situation in the world." Zhang Liang is not a procrastinator either.
Before Chen Changfeng even picked up his chopsticks, Zhang Liang had already started asking questions.
"Me, I don't have any opinion, but I'm more curious about your opinion, Brother Zhang." Chen Changfeng not only did not answer Zhang Liang's question, but instead asked Zhang Liang's opinion.
Zhang Liang had a smile on his face, and Qi Yue always thought that Chen Changfeng was determined to seek cooperation with them.
In fact, Zhang Liang knew in his heart that Liusha must seek cooperation with Chen Changfeng.
"In today's world, the three great empires and the four great dynasties, no matter how big or small, are all heavily armed and preparing for war. Within a few years, the world will be in chaos."
"By then, the war will continue, the people will suffer, and no one in the world will be spared." Zhang Liang said slowly.
"What's more, the Luowang organization based on the Ming Empire has secretly cultivated many forces in the courts of various countries."
"If war breaks out among the seven kingdoms, the power of the snare is indescribable."
"Unfortunately, as far as I know, Luo Wang and the Crown Prince have a deep hatred. If war breaks out among the Seven Kingdoms, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, will most likely become the first target of Luo Wang's destruction." Zhang Liang's voice sounded again.
