Zhou Huai threw a group of high-ranking officials' children into the pond in the Yongle Palace, which provoked the imperial censor to participate in the impeachment. Some courtiers even cried to Wu Mingtai directly in the Jinluan Palace and told everyone about Zhou Huai's troubles after entering the palace. Wu Mingtai on the dragon chair frowned, stepped back early, and immediately sent someone to summon Zhou Huai, but asked about something else.

"What's the matter with Liangyue's frequent contact with courtiers recently? Did you tell her something?"

Zhou Huai sat on the window sill of Tai Chi Palace, dangling his feet and looking at the cornices and brackets outside the window, fascinated. He was only stunned when he heard Wu Mingtai's question, and turned his head to look at the situation covered by the pile of playbooks on the desk. Only Wu Mingtai with his head exposed remained.The tone of the other party definitely didn't seem to be asking questions but seemed to be asking questions, and his expression was as cold as an ignorant and disobedient child with a strict father.Zhou Huai's expression was still calm, he didn't even look at him, he just stared at the empty golden dragon inlaid jade crown on the other's head, and replied honestly: "I just told her that the old lady's body may not survive this year. .”

Wu Mingtai narrowed his eyes and asked again: "How do you know?"

"My guess."

"Really?" Wu Mingtai stared into Zhou Huai's eyes, asked lightly, and then laughed, a strange and thought-provoking smile.

Zhou Huai knew that he didn't believe it, so he told how he got the elixir in the vase of Weiyang Palace, and how he gave it to the old lady to the emperor.

"I'm worried that the old lady, the emperor, really took the elixir with no effect. What if someone with a heart finds out in the future and charges me with intentionally murdering the old lady, the emperor? That's why I gave the eldest princess a vaccination first. If something really happens to the old lady and the emperor this year, the eldest princess who lives with me can testify for me. And this elixir may be given by the abbot of the Huguo Temple. The recent restoration of the temple and the re-plating of the Buddha statue should be put on hold for a while. , send someone to find out the origin of this pill first?"

Zhou Huai babbled, but Wu Mingtai's smile gradually faded, he looked at Zhou Huai expressionlessly and shook his head, and said slowly: "These are irrelevant. I am more interested in Liang Yue's identity now, what do you say?" Who is she?"

"She is Wu Liangyue, who else could it be?" Zhou Huai pretended to be stupid, but his eyes were secretly observing Wu Mingtai's reaction.

Wu Mingtai smiled noncommittally, and asked Zhou Huai meaningfully: "What do you think of Liang Yue?"

Zhou Huai's expression relaxed, and he started to shake his feet again. While shaking, he said, "If you work harder, you should become a heroine."

"She has become a heroine, what about you?"

Zhou Huai thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll just be the one to applaud her."

Wu Mingtai's expression gradually turned a bit cold, and he said coldly: "The applauding person? It's better to say that he is a theatergoer! Otherwise, why did you tell her that Xiao Yu in the Imperial College is a talented king?"

Zhou Huai's expression changed slightly, and he remained silent. He turned around and looked at the palace towers in the distance, but felt a little chill in his heart. She thought it would be good to guard against the maids around her, but it turned out that there are ears everywhere in the palace, and it is impossible to guard against.Zhou Huai sat with his back stiff, neither admitting nor refuting, but his determination to leave here at all costs became stronger.

"What, nothing to say?"

Zhou Huai grinned, then adjusted his expression, turned around and asked him with a cheeky and cheeky smile, "Are you scared?"

Wu Mingtai frowned when he saw her smiling like this: "What am I afraid of?"

"I'm afraid I won't accomplish enough, and fail more than I will, which will spoil your event." Zhou Huai looked indifferent, and stated these matters closely related to her in a tone of staying out of the matter.

Wu Mingtai didn't answer the call, but took a sip of tea slowly, put down the cup and changed the subject: "A letter from Yunzhou a few days ago, what did you say?"

Zhou Huai looked at Wu Mingtai, with the same relaxed expression as him, and said slowly: "Send someone to pick me up. So there is something you don't know?"

"I know every move in the palace. Only with you, I didn't want to interfere too much, but you are too disappointing, you spend your whole day waiting to die, and you don't want to make progress. If you are willing to work hard, I will teach you as soon as possible. Sooner or later, my position will be yours."

"I became like this if you didn't interfere. When you interfere, will I not be a marionette? Besides, I don't want to be you, so why do I want to make progress? Everyone has his own ambitions, and I like to eat, drink, have fun and be free."

"You! What virtue?! Who am I for? Let you learn a little bit, and you will give me three days of fishing and two days of drying the net. It has been a month, and I still don't know anything. Now I am protecting, what about the future? "

"The tree is big enough to enjoy the shade. If the tree falls down, the monkeys will be scattered. Why do you think so much?"

Wu Mingtai hated iron for being weak, pointed at Zhou Huai and gritted his teeth: "How did I give birth to something like you?!"

"I didn't let you give birth either! No, it wasn't you who gave birth to me?! If you think I'm an eyesore, I'll part ways at worst. I'll give you the jade fish, and you let me go back to Yunzhou. From now on, you can go your own way , I will cross my single-plank bridge." It is best to be strangers from now on and not interfere with each other.But Zhou Huai didn't say this sentence, because Wu Mingtai would not let her go yet.

"Oh, isn't that what you want?" Wu Mingtai looked indifferent, and only threw a few memorials from the table towards Zhou Huai: "Look at this, maybe you will change your mind."

Zhou Huai took the memorials and still sat on the window sill. After flipping through the memorials, he immediately understood what Wu Mingtai meant.

Two small countries on the eastern peninsula fought.The weak Zhao State came to ask Jing State for help, hoping that Jing State would send troops to attack the Qiang, and come to encircle Wei to save Zhao. Since then, Zhao State has become Jing's subordinate state, and will pay tribute every year in the future.Many military officials in the court wrote in the memorial, saying that the leader of the Qiang Kingdom was ambitious and wanted to attack them one by one by means of long-distance and short-range attacks. There will be no peace on the border of Jingguo and Jingguo, so I ask Wu Mingtai to order troops to attack the Qiang, and act first to be strong, and at the same time sell Zhaoguo's favor.

The dominant Qiang Kingdom sent envoys to Jingguo to beg for their crown prince Chen, hoping that the two countries could form a good relationship between Qin and Jin, and promised to use the two cities adjacent to Zhaoguo and Jingguo as dowry gifts. .Many civil servants felt that winning two cities without spending a single soldier was much better than sending troops to the Zhao Kingdom to earn some tribute. Just seal the name of a princess and send it to be married.

Zhou Huai looked at those memorabilia that quoted the classics and talked about the debates or peace, and after a second glance, he threw them all aside. In the end, he only held the marriage proposal document written by Tuobaxin, the king of Xirong who had just succeeded to the throne, in a daze.

"Have you finished reading? Tell me, which country is the best place to send Liangyue to get married?"

Zhou Huai came back to his senses, looked up at him and sneered: "Send her to get married? Do you dare?! After all, I am not a strict talker, and she is smart. We have lived together for so long, who can guarantee that she will know? some secrets."

Wu Mingtai stared straight at Zhou Huai without saying a word, while Zhou Huai remained calm.In fact, she was the one who knew who was going to get married in the end, not Princess Wei Wu Liangyue, but Prince Jing's widowed daughter Wu Mingsheng, princess of Jinsheng County.

According to the situation recorded by Zhou Huaiyu, that is, the life when the eldest princess was not reborn, the real history of Zhou Huaiyu's soul transmigrated into this world is: in the spring of the 29th year of Taiping, the eight-year-old Wu Mingsheng was married to Tuobaxin, the king of Xirong. , Only seven years later, that is, in the 35th year of Taiping, Wu Mingtai died, and the 16-year-old fourth prince Wu Liangcheng proclaimed himself emperor.However, the ambitious King Xirong is ready to move, and small frictions in the border areas are more frequent.That year, Zhou Hao, the newly promoted civil and military champion, actively advocated attacking Xirong and stabilizing the western border.The relationship between Xirong and Jingguo was very tense, and the war was about to break out, and Wu Mingsheng, who had been married to him, had no children, so Tuobaxin took the opportunity to abolish the Queen's position and was imprisoned.

In the following year, Wuliang City was renamed Longxing. In the first year of Longxing, Wuliang City summoned the only 13-year-old Zhou Huaiyu, the only daughter of Duke Xihui of Yunzhou, into the palace as his concubine. Oppose, and establish Queen Huaiyu of Zhou.But Zhou Huaiyu listened to Zhou Hao's words and persuaded Wuliang City to send troops to attack Xirong. Wuliang City made an exception and appointed Zhou Hao as its commander, ordering him to lead one hundred thousand northwest troops to pacify the border.In order to save her daughter from Xirong, Wu Mingsheng's biological mother, Shen Hui, joined Zhou Hao and became Zhou Hao's military adviser.Shen Hui used his troops like a god, without any omissions, and was listed as Zhou Hao's right-hand man with Zhou Hao's great adviser Xiao Yu, one was good at arranging troops, and the other was good at political strategy.But in the end, Shen regretted helping Zhou Hao seize the military power of the Northwest Army, and later helped him seize the world, but he still failed to rescue the 17-year-old Wu Mingsheng and let her die alone in Xirong.

Wu Mingtai was silent for a long time, finally looked at Zhou Huai, and asked slowly: "Then what if I kill her?"

Zhou Huai didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "Kill it, it has nothing to do with me." At this time, Zhou Huai's face was cold and cold, and he was completely different from the stubborn and arrogant image in front of the eldest princess.

Wu Mingtai stared into Zhou Huai's eyes, as if he wanted to find out the clues that Zhou Huai was lying.

Zhou Huai satirized him: "Do you think that Liangyue and Huaiyu are very similar? They are also hardworking and hardworking, and you think I will use her as Huaiyu's substitute, so you deliberately let me move to Yongle Palace?"

"Liang Yue can't, what about Ming Sheng? Don't you have a good relationship with her?"

"It's just good."

Wu Mingtai didn't give up, and continued to ask: "Where's the Zhou family?"

Zhou Huai laughed loudly: "Then do you care about people from the Wu family? In fact, whether I admit it or not, in some respects, I am quite similar to you."

Wu Mingtai stopped talking.Zhou Huai shook his little feet, shook his head, and entertained himself.

It so happened that at this time Concubine Xian brought the injured fourth prince into Taiji Palace to meet Wu Mingtai.Zhou Huai jumped off the window sill, trying to avoid Concubine Xian and go back to Yongle Palace, but Wu Mingtai gave her a stare and motioned her not to leave with his eyes. Before the matter was finished, he went outside to see Concubine Xian.

Zhou Huai sat alone by the desk, stunned for a while, and finally resigned to his fate and took a closer look at the drawings in his hand, but after turning through three or four pages, he slapped a stack of drawings on the table in annoyance.Lying on the desk, her eyes kept rolling. After a while, she started playing with herself again, folding the paper in half from the middle, and then standing on the table, folding one by one in half, and another by herself. Zhang stood upright on the table, and then looked for balance, stacked one by one, and the last one was much taller than her height, then stopped rubbing his sore arms, and went to the wide strip desk used by Wu Mingtai. Pour tea on top.

The fourth prince, Wu Liangcheng, came in quietly by himself, and saw the paper pagoda on the table that could not fall due to maintaining balance. He was a little surprised, so when Zhou Huai went to drink water, he walked over quietly and picked up the paper tower beside him. After folding it in half, I tried to add another layer, but I didn't control the strength, and the paper tower collapsed in an instant, and the paper was scattered all over the floor.

Hearing the sound, Zhou Huai looked up, Wuliang City still kept the action of putting the paper down, but after the paper tower collapsed, he subconsciously looked at Zhou Huai.At this moment, seeing Zhou Huai staring at him without speaking, he explained nervously in a low voice: "I touched it lightly...it fell down."

"You put it too hastily, everything will be messed up in a hurry."

"Oh, what are you doing with this?"

"Boring." Zhou Huai shrugged, and suddenly looked curiously at the calm Wuliangcheng and asked, "Aren't you angry when I hit you?"

Wu Liangcheng said seriously: "Father said that you are still young, but I am a man, a real man, so I should be open-minded, and I shouldn't care about you."

"What did Concubine Xian say about me?"

Wu Liangcheng thought for a while, and finally answered honestly: "My concubine never mentioned you, but my concubine said before, let me listen to my father."

Zhou Huai carefully looked at the child with red lips and white teeth in front of him. After a while, he smiled faintly, and whispered to himself, "You are really an obedient boy, no wonder I chose you in the end."

Wu Liangcheng didn't hear what Zhou Huai was saying, scratched his head, a little puzzled, and was about to ask with a smile, but Zhou Huai turned around and left.
