After the Double Ninth Festival, the weather became colder day by day, and the number of concubines in the imperial garden decreased day by day. Zhu Jue showed a desolate expression to the fallen leaves.

Ye Zhen'er tentatively asked, "Princess is worried about King Shou?"

Ai?

Zhu Jue recovered from the sadness that he might not be able to see groups of beauties in the next few months, touched the corner of his lips, and responded: "Well, there are indeed some."

Ye Zhen'er hurriedly comforted her: "Your Majesty loves King Shou and will definitely consider him, not to mention the imperial concubine and empress, who is pregnant again, Your Majesty will always take extra care, the princess does not need to worry."

Cui Ying also said: "Yes, princess, no matter what, it is a happy event for King Shou to become king."

So the implication is that you don't think that Shou Wang can succeed in becoming the prince, do you?

Coincidentally, so am I.

Zhu Jue threw away the fallen leaves and clapped his hands.

These days, the reason why Emperor Yanchang named the second prince the King of Shou was finally revealed, he intends to register!seal up!too!son!

Or according to what everyone in the barrage said, he wanted to test the officials.

In fact, what happened was like this. A week after the second prince was canonized as the King of Shou, Uncle Yongning's eldest son was beaten, and it was his wife's natal family who beat him.

His own father-in-law took the lead, followed by the three older brothers-in-law, and finally the younger brother-in-law stepped up, and the five mixed fights plus one-sided gang fights.

According to people familiar with the situation, when Yongning Bo's eldest son was carried out of the gate of his wife's natal family, Dali Temple Qingjiang's mansion, it was a horrible sight. Seeing his sad appearance, those who saw him wept.

A child accidentally saw it, and went back and had nightmares for three days, and the parents were able to resolve it after asking the eminent monk to wear the blessing of peace.

And this is not the first time that Uncle Yongning's eldest son has been beaten, it is the fifth time. From the first single beating by his brother-in-law, to the group beating by his brother-in-law and his brother-in-law, to his father-in-law taking the lead in a gang fight together, it is truly a privilege that Uncle Yongning's eldest son can live safely until now. not easy.

Of course, all this is purely his own fault.

It is said that Uncle Yongning's eldest son is promiscuous and prone to domestic violence.The first time he was beaten was when he went to the brothel and was bumped into by his brother-in-law. Of course, as to why the brother-in-law was also in the brothel, the brother-in-law stopped everyone by saying that I was single.The second time he was beaten was when he bought a girl who sold her body to bury her father from the side of the road and returned home. The third time he was beaten was when he wanted to take a concubine and fought back when he disagreed with his wife.The fourth time he was beaten was because he slept with his wife's personal maid during her pregnancy, and this time he was beaten because he fell in love with the top card of the planting flower house, and made a fuss to redeem her as a concubine.

The wife carried her son back to her mother's house with a burden, but the eldest son of Uncle Yongning came to ask for his son, which caused a tragedy in the world.

After hearing this, Zhu Jue inexplicably shuddered: Marriage needs to be cautious, and background needs to be clarified.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with whether the second prince can be crowned king, or whether the emperor canonized him as a prince, but Jiang Jianru, the Minister of Taichang Temple, was impeached by the censor because of this incident.

Officialdom is like a battlefield, there are teams and divisions, so those who support Jiang Jianru and those who oppose him quarrel, and then they quarrel, and suddenly, somehow, they abducted to the matter that the emperor has not established a prince.

Zhu Jue: How on earth did this get there? Hey! !

Then the quarreling officials expressed their own suggestions on the matter of establishing the crown prince, from following the ancestral system and vibrating the country's discipline to shaking the foundation of the country. In a word, the establishment of the crown prince must be put on the agenda.

Emperor Yanchang didn't say yes or no, but asked everyone who they thought was suitable to be the prince.

Headed by Zhou Cong, a scholar of the Xuanzheng Palace, Minister of the Ministry of War and Duke of the State of Wei, Zhou Cong said that the first prince is both the first son and the eldest son. If you want to establish a prince, it must be the first prince.

The group headed by Liu Yanjing, a scholar of the Hongwenge University and Minister of the Ministry of Officials, believed that the virtuous and the filial piety should be established, and all the princes except the eldest prince are young, so they should wait until the princes are older.

Headed by Kong Chuanzhao, a scholar of the Hanyuan Palace and Prince Taibao, and Zhang Tingyu, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace and the Secretary of the Household Department, they fully obeyed the emperor's choice, and we will recognize whoever the emperor chooses.

There are also some small and big forces that support the establishment of the second prince, but because the first prince's name is justified, they dare not speak out, and only beat around the bush to join Liu Shangshu or Zhang Shangshu's team.

Several parties expressed their opinions for five days in a row, and there was a stalemate.

This incident caused a great uproar, and spread from the previous dynasty to the harem.

The queen sat firmly like a mountain, and did not move anything, as if she had not heard the news.

When Chen got the news, she immediately went to Zichen Hall with her belly in her arms, and then she didn't know what Emperor Yanchang said to her, and came back happily, as if the crown prince was already in the second prince's pocket.

Concubine Jing has lost her mind again. It is said that she is going to retreat to study an ancient song, and she vows not to step out of the palace gate if she can't study it. The palace gate is tightly closed, and even Emperor Yanchang was stopped outside.

Concubine Xian suddenly changed her attitude of eating melons, and took the fourth prince to Qingning Hall twice, as if she was going to surrender to the queen, but it is not surprising to know that Uncle Yongning is Concubine Xian's natal family.

The concubine Xiang ran more frequently to the Taifu Hall.

Compared to Chen's optimism, Zhu Jue and his two companions are obviously not optimistic about the second prince.

Chen was immersed in the beautiful dream that Emperor Yanchang wove for her and refused to face the reality, but Ye Zhen'er and Cui Ying could see it clearly in the contact with several princes these days.

Although the eldest prince does not have the name of the crown prince, he has the reality of the crown prince.

And the second prince has the quality of a virtuous king...about.

As for the third and fourth princes, one is too young to see anything, and the other is that the mother and concubine of the two are not as favored as the imperial concubine. Emperor Yanchang is also indifferent to them, and is really not threatening.

Of course, if the first prince falls, the two will become the second prince's greatest opponents.

Anyway, Zhu Jue doesn't believe that the eldest prince will fall. As far as the current trend is concerned, according to everyone's analysis, either Emperor Yanchang is planning to make the eldest prince a prince in order to create momentum for the eldest prince, or he is taking this opportunity to test the officials Attitude, clean up some people, or both, just look at his last attitude.

Zhu Jue thinks that it is more likely to be crowned prince. The audience has limited senses through the screen. He has been in and out of Zichen Palace to face Emperor Yanchang in the past few days, and this feeling has become stronger and stronger.

During the period, I also met several cabinet officials. Wei Guogong Zhou Cong was the oldest. He looked about sixty years old, but he looked very tough, with sharp eagle eyes and clear eyes, not at all like an old man in his sixties.

Zhu Jue thought of Zhou Ting, his eyes and demeanor were exactly the same.

His attitude towards Zhu Jue was rather peaceful, but he didn't mean to be close.

On the contrary, Liu Yanjing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was inexplicably very respectful and kind to Zhu Jue. He looked about the same age as Duke Wei, and was different from Duke Wei's Jianlang.

Although he didn't know why Liu Yanjing objected to the First Prince, but Zhu Jue didn't have a good sense of him, and always felt that there was a decayed and stale aura coming from him, which made him very uncomfortable.

Gong Chuanzhao of Yan Sheng and Duke Anguo is a middle-aged man in his forties, his temperament is exactly the same as that of Concubine Jing and her younger brother, but compared with Concubine Jing's coldness, he is more gentle. Not many words.

What's interesting is that he would be distracted. Emperor Yanchang clicked his name and he didn't respond for a long time. When he reacted, he said plausibly that he thought of an important academic problem again. He couldn't control the sudden inspiration. If he missed it, he would die forever. Regret and so on.

Emperor Yanchang not only didn't care about it, but allowed him to continue thinking. It is obvious that this attitude is not the first time.

Finally, the audience has been waiting for Zhang Tingyu, the famous scholar of the Wenhuadian University for a long time.

In the original history, Zhang Tingyu was also an extremely human minister as he is now. He was an official to the University of Baohedian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, the chief minister of military affairs, and was entrusted by Yongzheng as the Minister of Guming before his death.

Although the evening scene was a bit bumpy, looking at the three dynasties in his life, and becoming the only Hanchen who deserved to enjoy the Taimiao in the Qing Dynasty, he is indeed a character.

Zhang Tingyu looked a little younger than Liu Yanjing in appearance, with a goatee, and when he was stern, he was a little majestic, but when his brows were relaxed, he showed a bit of kindness.

Zhu Jue brushed out his life from the barrage, combined with the details of his time with Emperor Yanchang, and confirmed that he is indeed the emperor's party. Everything is headed by Emperor Yanchang, and he will not express any biased opinions on the matter of opposing the prince.

Taking advantage of his small size and the title of a princess, Zhu Jue relied on Emperor Yanchang not to leave when everyone was discussing matters. After listening to it a few times, Emperor Yanchang didn't know what was on his mind, so he didn't even drive him away. Really let him listen to politics.

Wei Guogong expressed his opinions on this, and it is worth mentioning that Liu Yanjing, who has always been against him, also supported him for the first time, voicing a lot of alarmist words, and listed a few examples, such as Princess Anle, Princess Taiping.

Then Zhu Jue heard a strange name: Princess Kunrong.

Liu Yanjing's original words were "...and the [-]% change of Princess Kunrong in the past", and he only mentioned this name and the term "[-]% change", but he was able to compare this Princess Kunrong with Princess Taiping and Princess Anle. Putting it all together, it can be seen that this person must have done something related to the throne.

At that time, Zhu Jue was infinitely curious about Princess Kunrong.

The audience is also curious, and everyone has put various guesses on this Princess Kunrong.

He tentatively asked Emperor Yanchang, but he stopped him with a few words. He asked Mrs. Chen, but she reprimanded him not to mention it with a look of panic on her face.

But it also indirectly shows that this Princess Kunrong must be a person who can do great things.

Regarding the fact that he was listening to the government, Emperor Yanchang prevaricated him with his childish ignorance. Liu Yanjing originally wanted to refuse to let him go, but after seeing Emperor Yanchang get angry, he took it back and didn't say anything more.

But after that, he no longer had the close attitude towards Zhu Jue as before.

"Princess, it's cold, let's go back." Ye Zhen'er interrupted his thoughts.

Zhu Jue came back to his senses, looked up at the gloomy sky, picked up Roll who was rolling on the fallen leaves, and returned to Guanju Palace.
