The emperor instructed the chief steward before going to the court, "Take the five princes and the seven princes to wait outside the imperial study, and after the court is dispersed, I will ask questions." ”Usually, at such times, the emperor will compare the homework of several princes, and he will also call the four princes, but this time he did not call the four princes, and directly called the five princes and the seventh princes.Concubine De raised her hand to rebuke left and right.Jiang Ruoning pretended not to understand, Concubine De didn't take the initiative to ask, and she didn't take the initiative to say.Even if she is a princess, she can't make clever guesses, let alone make smart words.Concubine De asked softly: "Feng Ge, after you met the emperor yesterday, the emperor was very worried.You tell Concubine De, what is the emperor worried about" In the end, Jiang Ruoning is not very close to the concubines of the Sixth Palace, but he does not want to be involved in their struggle.She is far from a noble concubine and a sparse concubine, but she does not dislike Concubine De.Concubine De, just like her title "De", is really a woman with integrity and virtue, without the arrogance of the concubine, let alone the eyes of the concubine, at least it seems to be an easy person to get along with.Jiang Ruoning said: "It is a matter of the world, and it is even more involved in the court, and this matter is handled well to invigorate the government and the opposition, and it is a meritorious society." ”What is this, but listening to what Jiang Ruoning said, it must be a great thing.Concubine De said: "This matter is really so important" Jiang Ruoning was distracted earlier, thinking that the emperor was unwilling to give her the will, there must be his concerns, she is a princess, or a princess, she is different from the real princess, but she is more noble than the ordinary princess, anyway, she is the royal blood, and she is the granddaughter of the emperor, but the emperor considers the problem comprehensively, and he must think for her.Nodding affirmatively, "What I can tell Mother De is that this matter cannot be done without great perseverance and strength."
Cowardly people, don't take the initiative to ask. ”Concubine De smiled, "What Feng Ge said today, this palace has appreciated it."
A few days ago.The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a new batch of clothing, fat and rice, and the palace picks some and sends them, if necessary, Feng Ge sends someone to say to the palace.The one in the blue brocade box.It's the high-quality pigments that your seventh brother collected outside the palace, and you love painting, so you can just use it. ”Jiang Ruoning said with a smile: "Mother De really understands me and knows that I like those paints the most." ”Concubine De smiled knowingly.Jiang Ruoning said again: "Concubine De no longer uses some soup porridge", "You eat, the palace will drive back to the palace", "Congratulations to Concubine De" Concubine De has just left Cuiwei Palace.Concubine Chonghua Palace got the news."
Early in the morning, Concubine De gave a generous gift to Princess Fengge, and stayed in Cuiwei Palace for breakfast, she wasn't busy enough last night, and she was busy again early in the morning."
Concubine Shu was suspicious.Just thinking about it, a palace person came in and said: "Niangniang, there is news from the palace, the emperor asked the palace people to pass the decree, and the five princes and the seventh prince are waiting outside the imperial study for questioning." ”This time I'm talking about questioning, not about taking a test of homework.From small to large.As soon as several princes heard that their father was going to check their homework, they were all strict and tidy, and sometimes they got the news a day in advance, and several princes could not sleep peacefully at night, for fear that the emperor would not be able to answer when he asked for knowledge.Concubine De immediately asked the seventh prince King Chang'an to be invited to her palace, and taught her painstakingly, "You are also a person who is a relative now, and you have been crowned the king of the county, and you will be given a mansion, and you will go out of the house to live in another place."
A while.Your father wants to ask you questions, and you have to answer as before. ”The seventh prince said puzzledly: "Mother, my father didn't call the fourth brother this time" Concubine De pulled her son and ran his shirt with her hands.Seeing that there were only two of his own henchmen in the palace, Fang continued: "Your father and emperor have encountered a major event, and he wants to choose a capable person between you brothers to handle it, and those who are not strong in perseverance and thunderous means cannot do it. ”The Seven Princes immediately understood that this was the emperor who was going to use them, and who answered well.Whoever gets an errand will be rewarded if he does it well, and maybe there will be another reward."
Came out of the palace so early, maybe I haven't eaten yet" "As soon as I heard the eunuch's decree, I hastily ate a bowl and came out. ”Although the emperor is still an early dynasty, the seventh prince did not dare to let the emperor wait for a long time, so he could only come out early.Concubine De said: "Go back to the imperial study and wait, reply as before, don't disappoint your father." ”The Seventh Prince withdrew in response and waited outside the imperial study with the little eunuch.The fifth prince was talking to Concubine Shu outside.Concubine Shu also guessed some, but she didn't know what it was, so she encouraged her son, "You are old now, and your father rarely reprimands."
In the past few years, your martial arts and knowledge have been good, what does your father ask, don't panic, just answer Mr. in Tai Academy. ”The Seventh Prince stood quietly on the side, pondering in his heart what Concubine De had said.Although he is slightly younger than the fifth prince, he is an adult.If it weren't for the queen mother's order, saying that the princes should not marry too early, in the people, men of his age are all people who marry wives and have children.The mother concubine said that it was a big deal, what kind of big thing is it Looking at the appearance of the mother concubine, she was very nervous.He thought in his heart how he should answer, and how to deal with it, so that he could win his father's favor.Concubine Shu pulled the five princes and analyzed all kinds of possibilities in detail.As he was talking, I saw the eighth princess dressed up in colorful clothes, she was wearing an eight-piece flower skirt, such a skirt consumes a lot of fabric, ordinary people don't dare to do it at all, and said with a smile: "Mother, I heard that the fifth brother is going to come to the imperial study to reply today, I specially rushed over, the fifth brother don't panic, just answer the father carefully." ”The five princes, who were not nervous, were a little nervous because of the advice of their mother and sister, and they thought that the court meeting would be dispersed in a while, but they waited for more than an hour.shouted "The emperor has arrived", and everyone shouted in unison.The emperor led a group of palace people and eunuchs to arrive, "the fifth and seventh come in" eyes swept over the mother and daughter of the concubine, he wanted to ask, and the concubine was immediately disappointed in the concubine.The mother of the capital is more defeated, he wants to talk to his son, and the mother is still cheering.The emperor is in the court today, looking at those powerful ministers, how to look at it and how not to follow it, he is observing, observing the crown prince, observing Xie Gelao.The emperor rebuked left and right, leaving only the chief manager, and said loudly: "Fifth and seventh, I ask you, if I act improperly and make mistakes, what should you do?"
The emperor said again: "You will impeach your father" The five princes were startled and knelt down heavily: "The son does not dare that the father and the emperor are a generation of Ming monarchs, and the world will praise them." ”Sing the emperor's praises as you go.The emperor was not happy or angry, and asked the seventh prince: "Old seven, what about you" The seventh prince waved his hand and said: "Back to the father, if the father does not act properly, the son will not be impeached, but he will definitely advise the father, just as the fifth brother said, the father is a generation of Ming Jun, and he will be able to listen to the advice of the son." ”The emperor said again: "What if I don't listen to the advice" The five princes really didn't understand how the emperor suddenly threw out such a question.The seventh prince said: "On the one hand, the sons and daughters analyze the pros and cons and continue to advise their fathers, and on the other hand, they try their best to remedy the damage and try to minimize the damage. ”"The seventh brother's words are wrong, how can the father's generation of Ming Jun act inappropriately, and where do you need to remedy it" The fifth prince was quite dissatisfied.The emperor thought for a moment, and said: "If the ministers do something wrong, what should you do?"
The five princes said: "Get the evidence first, and then impeach and punish the crime." ”This time, he was rushing to answer first, for fear of being robbed by the Seventh Prince.The Seventh Prince said: "There is a priority for mistakes, depending on the circumstances, if any minister knows" "Only you know what I said." ”"If only the ministers know, if it is a small matter, then advise and admonish; If it is a major event, it will be punished according to the law. ”Small things warn, big things have too much impact, and they can't be private.From this matter, it can be seen that the Seven Princes are more calm and can distinguish between the big and the small."
If this matter is related to the court situation, and one person is affected and the entire court situation is affected, what should I do" What the five princes thought was: How is the question of the father so strange today What does this mean The seventh prince secretly thought about Concubine De's advice, it seems that it is really a big deal, and it has involved the entire court situation, which is also the reason why the father is hesitant and difficult to decide."
Take the culprit, kill one to make an example, and the rest of the accomplices will watch the aftermath.""
Is it the aftermath of the observation?"
the emperor asked rhetorically.The Seventh Prince said: "This is an expedient measure to be done when it inevitably affects the situation of the court, and it is also an opportunity for others." ”He paused for a moment and said, "If there are any more stubborn people, the sin can be increased by one degree; If you have corrected it, why not open the net. ”The emperor thought about it again and again, and said coldly: "You can say it."
I just want to know what my two sons are thinking about right and wrong.Let's talk about it, I've learned those martial arts and read those books recently. ”The next questioning was no different from usual, the emperor occasionally asked a few questions, all of which were academic, and the two princes answered them seriously.The lady and daughter stood outside, waiting quietly.After a long time, I saw the five princes and the seven princes coming out of it one after another.The fifth prince said happily: "Mother, my father said that I would go to Chonghua Palace to talk to you and give me a shared lunch." ”"It must be my son's answer today."
The fifth prince raised his head.The Seventh Prince took the little eunuch and saluted the concubine: "I've seen the concubine" The concubine snorted coldly.The Seven Princes went to Concubine De's bedroom.At noon, the emperor announced that the concubine and the mother and son would share lunch.At dusk, the emperor summoned Concubine De's mother and son for dinner.This time, not only the palace people couldn't understand it, but even the courtiers couldn't understand it.In the next few days, the emperor will either stay at the concubine's place or stay at the concubine's place, and the next day there will be palace satin, jewelry and other rewards.In the early morning of this day, Cuinong entered the palace with Ah Huan holding the pass token of Cuiwei Palace.Ah Huan entered Cuiwei Palace without saying a word: "Senior sister, please rebuke the left and right." ”Jiang Ruoning knew that something big was happening, and repulsed left and right.Ah Huan handed a letter to Jiang Ruoning, this is a letter written by Mr.
Chunyu, Wei Shichang and others, Dali Temple's catch fast yesterday at the second watch to distribute the existing mysterious carriage into the dark building, there was a catch fast deliberately collided with the carriage, found that there were several young girls inside, if you guessed correctly, this group of young girls is the noble women of Nan'an.Jiang Ruoning said: "Jinliu, they can come back safely" is to be continued.4209051:
