In the south study room, memorials are piled up in piles.Luo Di was sitting in front of the table, flipping through the memorial quickly, frowning into a 'mountain'.After a while, he shook off the memorial in his hand, and said angrily: "There are so many memorials, it's endless."

"Your Majesty, isn't it the end of the new year, and there will be more memorials from various places." Sun Lu bent down to pick up the memorials, and said unhurriedly: "Everyone wants to have a good year, and hope that things can be settled before the end of the year." .”

"Stop talking for them." Luo Di cocked his eyebrows, pointing at the piles of memorials: "It's not the first day I become emperor! I have to go to the memorial to ask for instructions on even the most trivial matters, and a trivial matter can be tedious. I have written tens of thousands of words, and my head hurts just looking at it!" He stood up abruptly, picked up a memorial and said, "I have ignored the government affairs for only five years, and all the ministers in the court have become bastards, and I can't even write a memorial well. How does Pei Ziqi manage the government?"

Sun Lu put the memorial back and said, "Lord Pei is always cautious in doing things. This memorial is written in detail. Although it seems to take a lot of work, it is absolutely impossible for the officials below to deceive others."

"Yesterday's memorial has not been reviewed yet, today's memorial is here again, and the number is even more than yesterday." Luo Di pointed to the dark circles under his eyes: "These days, I don't feel safe. If this continues, I'm going west!"

Sun Lu hurriedly took a step forward, "Your Majesty, please don't say that, you are the Lord of Longevity. Or, let the Crown Prince come to the South Study Room, and you go to rest for a while."

"Prince?" Luo Di snorted, "It's better to call the second child instead of calling him." He calmed down and asked, "What is the second child doing at the mansion? Why haven't I seen him come to the court recently?"

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is ill, so he handed over the memorial earlier." Sun Lu took out the memorial of the Second Prince, handed it to Emperor Luo, and said, "There are many memorials recently, and His Majesty may not have seen them."

Luo Di was stunned for a moment, then took the memorial and read it: "Have you sent the imperial physician to look at it?"

"Look, the imperial doctor said it was wind-cold. The winter in the south is warmer than that in the capital. His Highness has been in the south of the Yangtze River these years, and he may not have gotten used to the climate in central Beijing for a while, so he caught the wind-cold." Sun Lu thought for a while. , and said: "A few days ago, His Royal Highness the Third Prince went to the Imperial Palace to visit the Second Prince."

"The third child?" Luo Di paused, then snorted again: "Is he willing to give up Dali Temple?"

"The third prince and the second prince have had a good relationship since they were young." Sun Lu smiled, and said, "It's better for His Royal Highness the third prince to guard Mr. Pei at Dali Temple than to be active outside."

Luo Di put down the memorial, and hummed heavily: "The third child is a wise man. If he dares to think wrongly and try to rescue Pei Ziqi, I will immediately order Pei Ziqi to be cut off!"

"Lord Pei is still pregnant with a child. That is the first child of His Highness the Third Prince. Can His Highness not take it seriously. This prison is no better than other places. What if the child is hurt?" Sun Lu picked up the memorial and said, "Your Highness is filial. He chose such a compromise method because he was afraid of hurting your heart."

Luo Di pointed to Sun Lu, obviously calmed down a lot: "You, you always speak for others, and you don't think about me at all." He said again: "Did the imperial physician go to feel Pei Ziqi's pulse?"

"Not yet. Without your order, who would dare to look at it?" Sun Lu paused, and said, "However, Your Highness hired a doctor for Mr. Pei. He guards Mr. Pei all day, it should be..."

"How can a quack doctor compare to the imperial physician?" Luo Di interrupted him, and said sternly: "In two days, let the imperial physician go and have a look. Even if this Pei Ziqi deserves to die, he has to give birth to the child before he dies."

Sun Lu bowed his promise.At that time, a young eunuch came in small steps.He entered the main hall, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, please see me outside."

Sun Lu hurried forward and said with a smile: "Look, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to share your worries."

"That's not necessarily true." Although Luo Di said so, there was a smile on his face.He said softly, "Let the prince come in quickly, it's cold outside."

The little eunuch bent his back and left.After a while, the prince entered the hall with vigorous steps.He arched his hands and bent his body, and pushed forward with both hands: "My son, see the father, the father is blessed and safe."

Luo Di leaned on the chair and lazily said: "Get up, why are you in the South Study Room today?"

The crown prince pursed his lips, straightened his body, and said in a loud voice: "I came here this time to thank Mr. Pei for Zi Pei. I believe in Mr. Pei's character, and he will never do anything to murder the eldest prince. I also hope that my father will have a bright future in the Ming Dynasty..."

"Enough." Luo Di turned cold, and looked at the prince coldly: "You are outspoken, and you can tell what you mean when you speak. I have my own opinion about Pei Ziqi, so you don't need to say too much. Step back."

The prince lifted his clothes, knelt down and kowtowed: "I know that I am ignorant and unable to bear the heavy responsibility of the government. Thanks to Mr. Pei for sharing the worries of my father these years, I have a little peace of mind. Mr. Pei has a sincere heart. Country to people..."

"Bold!" Luo Di stood up abruptly, with his nose wide open, and glared at the prince, "It's his blessing that I appreciate Pei Ziqi! Without Pei Ziqi, the court can still turn around! As a prince, you don't work hard. Si shares my worries, crutches his arms and speaks for the murderer who killed your elder brother. Are you guilty?"

The prince bowed his head and knocked his head on the floor with a muffled sound: "My minister is not good at words, and I don't know how to beat around the bush. When my eldest brother was alive, he often made difficult ministers and regarded them as jokes. If Mr. Pei hadn't repeatedly To save the siege, I have long been ashamed of being a man. Although I am a prince, when did I have the honor of a prince? I believe that the death of the elder brother has nothing to do with Mr. Pei."

"Okay, it's against the sky!" Luo Di pointed at the prince, his pupils flickering with anger: "I told you a long time ago, I have my own opinion about Pei Ziqi. You are still the prince, so you want to make an opinion for me If I really abdicated to you, I probably won't live for a few more days."

The prince raised his head and stared at Luodi with wide-eyed eyes.He blurted out: "Father, my son dare not have..."

"Come on!" Luo Di called out loudly without giving him a chance to speak.The imperial guard immediately entered the hall with a gentle voice, knelt on one leg and said, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Luo Di raised his head to look at the prince, and there was no emotion in his eyes: "Take the prince down and confine him to the East Palace. Without my will, the prince cannot step out of the East Palace, and no one is allowed to visit the prince."

The imperial army got the order and immediately left the hall with the crown prince.Luo Di sat down slowly, tapped the table with five fingers, and ignored the prince's shouts.After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Sun Lu, did I do something wrong? Although the prince has virtue but no talent, he cannot bear the heavy responsibility of the country."

Sun Lu stood sideways and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this slave has no culture and doesn't understand those principles. However, the prince is really filial to you. Although he acted recklessly this time, he probably wanted to share your worries. I urge you to let Mr. Pei out to share your worries."

Luo Di closed his eyes, as if he didn't hear Sun Lu's words, and said to himself: "It's better to do it now than to do it later. Now I can leave him a way out, and he can only do it in the future." Imprisoned for life."

Sun Lu silenced, stood back where he was, and remained silent.Luo Di lightly tapped on the table, sighed involuntarily, his face quickly aged.Shaoyan, a young eunuch entered the hall.Seeing the situation in the hall, he immediately relaxed his hands and feet, and tiptoed to Sun Lu's side.

Sun Lu stretched out his hand and made a stop motion.The little eunuch immediately understood and whispered in his ear.After the report was over, Sun Lu waved his hand, motioning for him to step down.Luo Di continued to close his eyes, ignorant of all this.After waiting for a quarter of an hour, he slowly opened his eyes, and Sun Lu stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Dali Temple Minister Xu Shengao begs to see you."

"Xu Shengao?" Luo Di thought about it carefully, and sneered: "Today is really interesting. The crown prince came to plead for mercy, and then Xu Shengao came again. Could it be that the eldest prince's case has been clarified, Mr. Pei Qi Wuzui, is it all Du Qionger's fault?" He smiled absentmindedly, and said again: "Let him in. I want to see if this Xu Shengao was also bought by Pei Ziqi?"
