The Promotion of Yuanchun in the Red Chamber

From the son of the Shi family, to the eldest prince, to Liu Huan, the prince's visitors kept coming.After seeing off the first prince, the study room was still brightly lit, and everyone discussed until midnight before they just "disbanded"...

If Yuan Chun knew nothing about this, how deaf and blind would he be? !

By the way, the concubine Han Xu, who showed her face in front of the eldest prince, called the doctor when she returned to her room.

You must know that the eldest son Han flattered the prince in the past, and he also left some tricks that are not easy to deal with.According to Yuan Chun's understanding of Princess Han Xu, although she also favors her natal family, she is not willing to let her natal family decide everything.This time, I have to blame my natal brother again, and I think it's because I'm not feeling well, so I feel uncomfortable again.

Who doesn't have bad debts and bad things?How could Yuanchun gloat over others' misfortune?

She also recalled something on her mind: the lawsuit over the Ning Mansion has not yet ended, and someone will find out when.The second elder brother Lian of Rong's Mansion is bound to be charged an extra sum by the Zhongshun Palace because of his sisters... More and more troubles are accumulating, and when the time comes, they will all break out together, and it can be called a "fluke" if they only make their heads in disgrace.To be honest, Yuan Chun is not afraid of Zhongshun Wangfu at all, but she is afraid that her natal brothers will lose face...

And counting the years, the crown prince... I'm afraid he's about to fall.

It is conceivable that the prince is full of worries.She no longer needs to be cautious about flattering the prince, but Zhao Zhizhen cares more about her, but if she really doesn't care about the prince's joys, anger, sorrows and joys, then... she has no conscience.It is estimated that no matter how tired and annoying the prince is today, he will make a special trip to take a look, and even want to talk to her.

Then she waited for him too, and it turned out that the prince who was tired but extremely pleased came to him.

Without waiting for her to bend his knees, Zhao Zhizhen put his arms around her shoulders and shook, "Okay. It's good that I didn't fall asleep, it's rare."

Yuan Chun curled his lips, "I've always been waiting for you."

Zhao Zhizhen couldn't help teasing: "I don't know who it is, I slept soundly when I came here, and kicked me twice because I touched her."

Yuan Chun argued, "You are really narrow-minded. I forgot about it when I got up the next day."

Zhao Zhizhen also smiled, "Okay. I forgot to go tomorrow too."

Being able to joke with her, he really wasn't in a bad mood, Yuan Chun touched the prince's face, it was a little cold, "Can you use some porridge for a cushion?"

It's true that Zhao Zhizhen is tired, but not necessarily annoying: things that have been prepared for a long time, when things come to an end, just follow the previous plan.Whether he succeeds or fails is a matter for the future, but he looked at Yuan Chun who was sitting beside him and "forced it" with him, and suddenly wanted to talk to her.

Doing a big thing without showing off to your lover, it's like... Jinyi Night Walk!

After eating, I changed clothes and washed, and when I went back to the bedroom, Yuan Chun had already "thrown" Jianer back to the Nuan Pavilion—this stinky boy has always been a deep sleeper, let alone mother's slapstick, after that, his parents talked and used supper. In exchange for him flattening his mouth.

Now the two came to see him together, and Jian'er still slept soundly under the disturbance of his father's "big hand touching his forehead".

Her heartless son still resembles her, and Yuan Chun is also a little embarrassed, "Jianer is really solid."

Zhao Zhizhen said: "You are young, it's better if you don't worry about it." He felt that as a good father, he tried his best to let his children live a carefree life when they were young.

When the two of them went back to the room and lay down side by side, holding the qin to watch the night on the outer bed, Zhao Zhizhen suddenly turned over and saw Yuan Chun's eyes were bright...but he was waiting for him to speak first.

Zhao Zhizhen hugged Yuan Chun's waist, looked at the still flat belly, and muttered, "Take a break. Let's talk tomorrow when we get up."

Yuan Chun didn't agree, "You've got my spirits up, so don't talk about it...how can you let me sleep in the second half of the night?"

"I'm being unkind." Zhao Zhizhen rubbed the center of his brows, and cut straight to the point, "Finally something happened in the north."

Yuan Chun also revealed it at one point, "It will happen sooner or later. The Holy Spirit is wise, but we have to turn a blind eye to this matter."

Yuan Chun was as expected as he thought.Zhao Zhizhen felt comforted in his heart, "It is a big taboo to only cut off people's financial resources but not give them another way of life."

Who doesn't know that the smugglers of salt and iron in the north went around for a while, and some of them were transferred to Beidi people in the end. Isn't this becoming an enemy?But the risk of this business is great, but the profit is even greater. At the same time, because the profit is huge, the background and family background of those who dare to get involved in it are not small.

There are too many involved in this, and the Holy Majesty has to "pass by" for the time being. After all, no matter how arbitrary he is, he is not so arbitrary as to oppose so many aristocratic families and even his own clansmen.

Besides, blockage is worse than sparseness. The Holy Majesty can’t ban the sale of salt and iron all at once, but he can guide it carefully so that the northwestern countries and the tribes in the northeast can get most of the salt and iron. , to prevent the strength of Beidi people from growing too fast.

So Zhao Zhizhen said again: "I reckon, the chief steward of the Fei family at the pass is the father's man."

Yuan Chun said softly: "The border gate is such an important place, why doesn't the sage arrange for his confidants to go there, so how can we rest assured? The prince refuses to let our family's steward go to the gate to open a shop, isn't it because he is worried that he will be accused of 'guarding himself and stealing'?"

Zhao Zhizhen laughed dryly, "I'm not afraid of my father thinking too much, there is still a concubine in the palace who will explain it for me," he said, feeling melancholy, "I'm worried about my good brother. Now it seems that I can't It was foresight."

Yuan Chun was shocked when he heard the words: this is the first time that the prince has directly expressed his views on his brothers - the important thing is that his dissatisfaction is beyond words.

Zhao Zhizhen said again: "You have already seen it, haven't you? It's just that you don't want to say more."

Prince Yi didn't like to gossip, so he told her "bad things" about his brother without hesitation, and then led her to say something from his heart... Isn't this a heart-to-heart confession?

Yuan Chun can't deceive himself any more at this moment: Why offend the prince because of a sentence involving the prince's fight, and end up in a worse situation than in the previous life, don't even think about it!

Yuan Chun had no choice but to say, "You like me as a gossip?"

"You can tell tales?" Only by the hazy moonlight, how can we see each other's expressions?Zhao Zhizhen put his hand on Yuan Chun's face, "Why don't I know?"

"Don't think too well of me," Yuan Chun said with a slightly warm face, "I also have selfish intentions."

"Selfishness can also be said so confidently, which shows that you have a clear conscience. Speaking of it," Zhao Zhizhen said in a leisurely tone, "You are different from others."

In his heart, both Liu Wei and Han Xu were too partial to their natal families.In fact, it is human nature to be partial to one's natal family, Zhao Zhizhen is not incomprehensible.Liu Zhi, who went there, didn't mention it, but said that Han Xu had been married for a while, and he was in charge of the palace of the prince, and had frequent contacts with his natal family, so the news was naturally well-informed, but he didn't see Han Xu comforting him when he was upset a while ago. Assisting, she didn't even remind her mother's family, but now that the Han family's situation is not good, she "fell ill" first...

Zhao Zhizhen would not complain about his concubine, after all, it was pointed out by his father and concubine, but no one could stop him and Yuan Chun from feeling, "I always feel that I have lived so uselessly these years..."

Yuan Chun raised his hand and pressed the prince's mouth, "You trust me, so I will dare to say a few more words." Then he leaned into Zhao Zhizhen's ear, "If you are a coward, you have already firmly grasped the commander in chief of the northern camp, so what? Say? The Crown Prince and the First Prince...how have they improved over the years?"

On the prince's side, the ending of the eldest son Fei has not been cleared up, and another manager who has escaped has been added; the eldest prince has bought a few scholars, but if the Yantie incident occurs in the north, he does not know how many official positions he will have to promise to temporarily protect his safety. The premise is that the Holy Majesty has no intention of having an attack on this matter.

As for the Holy One...

Yuan Chun's voice was very soft, "If you want me to tell you, people from Beidi still called from time to time. The one from the south finally died, and the South King of Pingnan in Xi'an is going to take advantage of the fire to rob him. How do you think His Majesty thinks?"

This is God's face, there have been no natural disasters in the past few years.In short, your royal father has lived a much more useless life than you. Sitting on the world, there are only a handful of times when your wishes come true.

Why couldn't Zhao Zhizhen hear the voice over, he thought it was right and even slandered: You haven't counted the days when your father worked so hard for the throne.

However, talking about the father can only go so far. What really made him depressed was his brother, "For the sake of a servant, he is willing to come to the door in person, my big brother..."

"Isn't this just telling you that the escaped steward is involved? Regardless of whether you want it or not, from the Crown Prince's point of view, if you didn't take action to stop the escaped slave, it means that you are more inclined to the First Prince." Yuan Chun said cautiously, "Actually, you haven't been wronged, have you? Are you really willing to live a life like His Highness the Third Highness?"

Zhao Zhizhen was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed out loud, "My confidant."

He kept silent about the prince, not because he admired the prince very much, but because he was so dissatisfied...too lazy to mention it again!

It is common for brothers to divide and reunite, and to grab each other's territory.

Anyway, Zhao Zhizhen never thought that the brothers would be harmonious and have no disputes - besides, the brothers are all the sons of the father, and there is no way to escape a king, but there is a big difference between the king and the king.

King Zhongshun and King Qing are enough for comparison.

King Zhongshun wanted to take revenge on Jia Zhu, the second eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, who had always had old grievances, so he only dared to use some unsightly methods behind his back... Zhao Zhizhen didn't look down on his pettiness, and as a result, Lin Hai, the servant of the household department, only sent a letter. Dissolve these means.

If it was Uncle Qing, Jia Zhu would not even be able to go south for reference as long as he hinted without saying so.

But having said that, Uncle Qing would definitely not forcefully attack Jia Zhu knowing that he was the one he wanted to protect.

"Which scholar doesn't want to be an extremely human minister?" This extremely human official said he was a powerful official. If Zhao Zhizhen, as a prince, could not sit on that dragon chair, at least his brother would sit on it. Always looking at my brother's face alive, "It's my elder brother who reminds me that people are bullied when they are kind."

After that, he treated Yuan Chun as a joke about how he responded to his elder brother's digging.

As long as he was under his nose, none of the good jobs that could do meritorious service fell to his elder brother.Of course, the eldest prince's hands are not so long, and what Zhao Zhizhen suppressed were those who gave advice to his eldest brother, especially the two cousins ​​of the eldest prince's concubine, which made Zhao Zhizhen grind for a while.

Yuan Chun clapped his hands and smiled when he heard the words: "No wonder! I said why the eldest prince only intends to marry Liu Huan in the past half a year."

Before that, as long as the civil servants who get closer to the prince will inevitably make the eldest prince "befriend" for a while, the outstanding young generals will be even more "unavoidable"!The two elder brothers of my natal family, as well as Liu Huan, are among them.

"As far as this matter is concerned, he doesn't care about it now." Zhao Zhizhen said softly, "Just now he told me in person that he has no choice but to do so." Then he explained in detail for Yuan Chun, "His accompanying guards came one after another. They all got good jobs, and their influence was established thanks to the old people in the court—these old people are not very good at dealing with the queen's natal family. Yesterday, several old people's families sent people to come forward and let the prince's family run away Steward."

Hearing this, Yuan Chun once again firmly believed that what the steward knew was not trivial.She also sighed: "I took advantage of others back then, but now it's time to repay the favor, how can I refuse it?"

Zhao Zhizhen nodded and said: "Brother said that this matter involves too much, if you can hide it, hide it, if you can't hide it, don't interfere, and besides, no one can guess what the father is thinking."

The Holy Majesty stood out from the crowd of outstanding brothers, and managed to win the throne in the face of his eccentric father. Now that the First Prince is fighting with the Crown Prince, how could the Holy Majesty be unaware?But the strange thing is that the Holy One has so far been sitting back and watching the intrigue between the two sons.

From Yuan Chun's point of view, the Holy Majesty is clearly testing his son, but which one he prefers, especially what he plans to do with the "worn out" son, Yuan Chun really has no idea.

She knew very well that the prince had won the final victory, but... there could be no detours during the period.

At this moment Zhao Zhizhen said suddenly again: "Hey, King Pingnan!"

From Mr. Fei to the current manager, King Pingnan has behind his back...Pingnan King's idea is to "change the day and change the day", and the worst thing is to "expand the territory". He will never appease the subordinates behind him who have secretly connected with King Pingnan.

When King Pingnan's goal first fell on the prince, although there was suspicion of disregarding the importance and disregarding the overall situation, the eldest prince's attitude was still subtle and ambiguous: Zhao Zhizhen believed that he would never do that Misunderstood.

Speaking of which, the crown prince was devastated, just thinking about it would make Zhao Zhizhen feel a little happy.

The prince is indeed born superior, but he doesn't have to deal with his brothers with an attitude of looking down on all living beings all the time, right?

Among the princes, Zhao Zhizhen had a rare good temper and self-cultivation, but he almost couldn't even pretend to be respectful to his brothers and sisters.He had quarrels with the eldest prince and the fourteenth prince, but regardless of victory or defeat, the brothers would come to discuss the matter in person or simply admit defeat and make up for it, but the prince did not say anything... Even if the eldest son Fei almost provoked Zhao Zhizhen Trouble, the prince still looks indifferent.

But the crown prince also said that "the seventh brother is his own"... Whoever believes this is stupid!

Thanks to the fact that I treated you better than my own brother, Zhao Zhizhen couldn't calm down, but he reminded Yuanchun, "Tell your natal brothers to be careful. No matter how ingenious King Pingnan is, Father will definitely deal with it. There is no wink at this time."

Yuan Chun could hear the prince's voice was different, "I'll send someone to talk about it in the morning."

Thinking of the prince, Zhao Zhizhen also lost his "chat~sex" and "sleep."

Yuan Chun replied: "Yes." As he spoke, he stretched out his arms to wrap around Zhao Zhizhen's waist.After a while, she guessed what the lord was thinking, and persuaded, "It's just that you have a clear conscience."

This sentence also coincided with Zhao Zhizhen's mind: Prince, you have a clear conscience for treating me, and I have a clear conscience for "repaying" in this way.

But he said that Zhao Zhizhen and Yuan Chun Ziye had a heart-to-heart talk, and the sage of Chengqian Palace also pulled the concubine to talk, so as to clear up his mind.

In fact, the Holy Majesty also came in the middle of the night, and when he saw the noble concubine, he repeatedly muttered viciously, "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"

The noble concubine supported her forehead and said: "You have scolded me several times. If you don't have any new words, can we talk better?"

The Holy One and the noble concubine have nothing to hide, "The crown prince is getting worse and worse, all his subordinates have run out of the capital, and they don't know anything about it. The boss actually ran to Lao Qi's house, is he afraid that Lao Qi will not succeed in something bad? Little Fourteen He is actually young and has a lot of thought.”

The noble concubine said: "Look at those people around the prince too. Something happened to the child of Fei's family, and this group of people are in panic all day long. How many of them are still serious about business?"

As for the eldest prince and the fourteenth prince, they were actually entrusted by others.

When mentioning Young Master Fei, the Holy Majesty was even more annoyed, "The black sheep!"

The noble concubine said again: "You told me at the beginning that you spoiled him too much and took care of everything for him. It will be difficult to become a great talent in the future. There are some things that you really can't teach, and he has to realize it by himself."

I regret it a bit!The Holy Majesty was silent for a long time, Fang said, "You also blocked me with words."

"Didn't you already prepare a lot of back-ups, not to mention dispatching troops?" The noble concubine rubbed the temple of the Holy Majesty, "Just say that those good men under King Qing have already left the capital, do you still want to give up halfway?"

"Huh?" The Holy Majesty asked in surprise, "You know that too?"

The imperial concubine's subordinates did not listen to their actions, and said in a helpless tone, "When you issued the secret decree, I ground the ink for you."

The Holy Majesty sighed, "Look at me, I'm so confused."

The imperial concubine smiled slightly, "If I really want to say, the prince suffered a loss, you should explain it to him carefully. If you think he doesn't treat his brother kindly, maybe he thinks you are partial."

The Prince's unlovable temperament is the Holy One's greatest concern.Even the brothers who grew up together can't get along well, let alone those children from aristocratic families who are full of bad things and the clans who are prey in the sky.

The Holy Majesty still loves the only legitimate son the most, and always hopes that he will be enlightened as soon as possible... Because the Holy Majesty himself is self-taught, and he believes that his son is no exception.

But the noble concubine is not as optimistic about the prince as the sage, the prince is more like a person who can break the pot... It turns out that the concubine has a very good vision, at least she can see more clearly than the wishful sage on this matter.

When the crown prince knew that his subordinates had escaped and disappeared, he was furious, not to mention for the time being, he calmed down by writing a handwritten letter, asking his seventh younger brother Zhao Zhizhen to help find someone, and also sent another brother of the crown princess to go north to investigate.

Zhao Zhizhen didn't say anything when he received the prince's handwritten letter, and it's hard to shirk what he should have, but for this elder brother of the prince who is so focused on using Fei's family...he will never do his best to help him again.

He made up his mind, and when he went to Yuan Chun's courtyard, he saw Yuan Chun's face twisted.Before he could ask, Yuan Chun confessed, "Someone is going to sue my natal family, saying that Brother Zhen took a concubine during his filial piety..."
