The news of Wuse Qingyun's reappearance began in Yuanzhou, but an explosion occurred in the capital, which became known to everyone, and was gradually spread throughout Tiancheng by merchants traveling from south to north.

At that time, the emperor was especially good at governing the country, all nations in the world were pleased, all industries were prosperous, and the vast majority of ordinary people enjoyed a life of light corvee and poor tax.Therefore, they are also grateful for the grace of heaven, and are happy to see Feng Chan. The streets and alleys of all states are praising the wise and benevolent emperor Mingyi, which makes the emperor's prestige deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Winter has come to an end, the willow branches are sprouting, and the spring is in bud, and the Ministry of Rites has also made all preparations for Feng Chan.This time the emperor ordered that the family members only bring the empress and the nine princesses with them, and the rest are only officials of the second rank or higher.At first glance, it seems that the number of people is not many, but the most important thing is that they are equipped with civil and military equipment, and there is also a special imperial army led by Geng Jing himself, which can be called mighty and magnificent.

——And among these people, the second prince Minghui was not among them.

Wen Chao drew a big pie for him, but in the end he failed to realize it.Ming Hui was so angry that his teeth were itchy, and while remembering the former in his heart, he went to the palace many times to ask his father to see him, and tried to accompany the guard of honor, but he was strictly rejected every time, and even reprimanded at the end. He was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood.

Similarly, it was only at this time that Minghui finally realized that he had been slapped on by Wen Chao, a cunning villain——

What the other party did, in fact, has only one purpose in the final analysis, which is to make Ming Tan eligible to go to Fengchan together!

He is not his own at all, but a spy who was inserted into the bureaucracy by Ming Tan'an!

It's only strange that I didn't know people clearly before, and was confused by Wen Chao's attitude. I didn't regret it until now. It's a pity...

Mingtan's participation in the Fengchan Grand Ceremony is already a certainty. After this incident, her popularity will rise to a higher level. How can Minghui not gnash his teeth?

"Clap!"

There were crisp cracking sounds one after another, and the inkstones, brush washers, and pots on the table were swept to the ground one after another. In the blink of an eye, they changed from priceless treasures to worthless broken pieces. .

Ming Hui's eyes were red, and he was burning with anger. He felt a faint pain in his heart, and he was panting heavily, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Mingtan!It's all Mingtan!

She's just a mere woman, she shouldn't even be able to touch the throne!But now, the public's reputation for her is rising day by day. When the Ninth Princess is mentioned, she is "extremely intelligent", "far-sighted", "lucky star"... May I ask which royal child can have such treatment?

You must know that only a few years ago, Jingzhong's impression of the nine princesses was still "arrogant", "vicious", and "doing all kinds of evil"!

Thinking of this, Minghui felt more pain in his heart and became more furious: Why are all people naturally attracted to Mingtan?Why can she live smoothly?

Even Ming Yan, who is called the proud son of heaven, is probably not as famous as his sister is now!

The more Ming Hui thought about it, the angrier he became, almost trembling all over, wishing he could smash and destroy everything he saw in front of him to calm down his anger.

However, just at this moment, the inappropriate voice of the palace maid came from outside, timidly calling: "Your Highness..."

Ming Hui was so annoyed that before she could finish speaking, he snapped angrily: "Bold! Didn't this king say that no one is allowed to approach? You are a bitch. How dare the maid disobey?"

Suddenly there was a "plop" sound outside the door, presumably the maid was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground, trembling and crying, "Your Highness, forgive me! The maid didn't mean to disturb, it's just that there is a guest coming to the palace at this time. , That's why the concubine ordered her maidservant to come and call you to the front hall, there is absolutely no intention to offend His Highness!"

"Is there a guest?" Ming Hui was slightly taken aback, his face still gloomy, "Who is it?"

"Yes...it's Lord Cheng, who is waiting to meet His Highness in the front hall right now..."

It turned out to be Cheng Guogong?

...It was quite a coincidence.

Minghui's anger stagnated slightly, and he was not in a hurry to continue blaming her. Instead, he hurriedly adjusted his appearance, stretched out his hand and opened the door, glanced at the trembling maid, and said coldly: "After cleaning up the inside, Go to the princess to receive the punishment yourself!"

The maid trembled all over, leaned over and kowtowed, tremblingly said: "Yes, thank you Your Highness..."

Minghui snorted coldly, looked away, and walked towards the front hall without saying a word.

……

"Hey, His Royal Highness Qian Wang! You have finally come here for the face?"

As soon as he saw Minghui appearing outside the hall, Cheng Guogong, who was sitting on the guest seat, smiled, and said in a strange voice: "I have to wait so long to see you, His Highness's current airs are really It's much bigger than before!"

Ever since the Autumn Hunting incident ended, Duke Cheng lost his qualifications to participate in politics and could not be reinstated for a long time. His attitude towards Minghui's mother and son has always been extremely indifferent.It wasn't until the latter became rebellious and took the initiative to contact him, promising that he would never forget the kindness of his grandfather and would give him a high position and rich salary after the event was completed, Cheng Guogong reluctantly agreed to cooperate with them, but the relationship was not good. Not much eased.

It can be seen from this greeting alone.

However, due to the status of the elder of the other party and the situation in which he is asking for help from others, Ming Hui could only swallow deeply the anger that was about to burst out, and forced himself to laugh: "I was delayed a little while changing clothes, and I still look out." Master Zu has a large number, no wonder..."

"Your Highness is serious, I dare not blame you." Cheng Guogong glanced at him, snorted, and said arrogantly, "This old man came here on purpose. I really have something important to do. Your Highness, please hurry up and send your people away." Take them all away."

"..." Ming Hui gritted his teeth, tried his best to calmly wave his hands away from the servants who were waiting on him, stood in the empty front hall, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what is the reason for my grandfather's sudden visit today?"

"What else can I do? Of course it's about the group of people raised by His Highness in the old man's house."

Cheng Guogong sat with a golden sword, but his imposing manner was not weaker than the condescending Ming Hui, and he said slowly: "Nowadays is different from the past, the old man has no official position and does not receive the imperial salary. The boss of the mansion is making a living, not to mention there are routine exercises on weekdays...Your Highness, although I have a deep relationship with you, I am willing to help you achieve success, but the money is the top priority. You can't even have a little money Take it out?"

--I see.

Minghui suddenly realized: Shen Kaiyi, an old man, has nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, and he came to ask him for money and food today!

"My grandfather has worked so hard for the great cause, and this king naturally knows about it. But the matter of money and food... If this king remembers correctly, didn't the mother and concubine send 500 taels of silver to the Duke's mansion before? Why did it happen so soon—"

"Oh, Your Highness, are you kidding me? 500 taels of silver is nothing more than a drop in the bucket, what use can it be!"

Cheng Guogong lowered the corners of his mouth, and the wrinkles on his face deepened, making his old face even more mean and gloomy, "You are not raising ordinary manpower, but soldiers and horses! Their morsel of food is calculated as three of an ordinary person's, 500 How can there be enough to eat? Right now, the Duke’s mansion can’t make ends meet, and the old man has to take out the coffin boards to support it, so you must stop pretending to be stupid!”

"..."

Minghui hid his fingertips in his sleeves and twitched involuntarily, only feeling the sun.There was a pounding in the hole, and the dizziness in the head continued.

There is no money in Duke Cheng's mansion, so can he have it? !

When I planned to make use of the heavy taxation strategy to make a fortune for myself at the Jinfeng Bookstore, the plan was destroyed by the Imperial Army and that idiot Sun Wenliang; The new policy is parallel, and all the shops in the capital are firmly under the supervision of the imperial court. How can Minghui have the opportunity to do something else?

His salary as an official can't afford to support soldiers either!

"Grandfather, you are also aware of the current situation. This king's mansion looks bright, but in fact there is not much silver available."

Minghui forced a smile, smashed his teeth and swallowed his blood, so he had to wait for a while, "I also ask the capable ancestors to work harder, and hold on for a while, and I will discuss it with my concubine and mother..."

"No need, Your Highness."

However, before Ming Hui finished speaking, Cheng Guogong sneered, interrupted his unfinished words with a wave of his hands, folded his arms and said, "Isn't the key point of raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while? The word 'use'? Old man I heard the news from the palace that in a few days, His Majesty will set off to Yuanshan to enshrine the Zen. All the civil servants and military generals who can talk about the court will accompany him, and most of the imperial army will be allocated. In this way, the palace will be vacant. And the imperial concubine and empress are cooperating inside and outside, isn't it a wonderful opportunity to use troops?"

"what?!"

Hearing what the other party said, Ming Hui subconsciously exclaimed, took a few steps back in astonishment, and repeatedly denied: "No, absolutely no! This is a very important move, and it has not been well-planned. How can we act so hastily? If you are about to make a mistake , once exposed...that's a certain death penalty!"

Cheng Guogong sneered coldly, as if he had expected his performance long ago, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, he mocked: "Your Highness is really too timid, since you are determined to ascend the throne yourself, why bother?" Still tied up like before? This time, His Majesty has been away from the palace for at least half a month, and Yuanzhou is very far away from the capital, almost to the border. This is a golden opportunity!" He stood up suddenly, and reminded coldly, "If you continue to wait Go on, if the throne is passed on to others, His Highness will wait diligently to be sent to a fief for the elderly!"

As soon as the words fell, Minghui didn't know which sentence hurt Minghui. The latter suddenly raised his head, his eyes seemed to be burning like fire, and met Cheng Guogong's gaze, and said viciously: "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Hmph, why did this old man talk nonsense? Ruofu has already told you all in the letter that His Majesty wants the Ninth Princess to inherit the throne, and now he even wants to take her to Yuanshan to enshrine Zen. Do you think that the dragon chair will be your turn to sit on? "Cheng Guogong was not at all afraid, and his words became sharper, "Your Highness, wake up! If there is a day when the Ninth Princess ascends the throne, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until the fiefdom, and you will have gone to the west with a glass of poisoned wine!"

"..."

Ming Hui was speechless, his face twitched unconsciously, his originally handsome features became much more ferocious, very vicious.

Although Cheng Guogong's words were ugly, he had to admit that every word the other party said now might become a fact in the future.

Nine Princesses Mingtan's status in the heart of the father and the increasing popularity among the people are all like a guillotine hanging over his head, which may separate his corpse at any time!

"...Grandfather is right, this is indeed a golden opportunity."

Minghui's eyes were gloomy, like a poisonous snake waiting for its prey.He raised his head to look at Cheng Guogong, the madness in his eyes made the latter couldn't help but take half a step back, a chill suddenly climbed up his back.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

"As far as I know, the day Father and the others will leave Beijing will be on the thirteenth day of next month." Minghui said lightly, "I hope my grandfather will persist for a few more days for the sake of the big plan... After the emperor leaves Beijing, he Lead people to guard the capital and occupy the palace."

Ming Tan, who was about to leave Beijing, didn't know about the conspiracy that took place in Prince Qian's Mansion.

At this moment, she was looking downcast, pointing her finger at the bed beside her, crying without tears: "Are you really going to wear this all day?"

"Exactly. Feng Chan is a great gift to worship the heaven and the earth, and to tell the gods. Of course, you must wear luxurious clothes and accessories to show the meaning of respecting the sky."

Standing by the couch, Lin Shurong looked at the layers of clothes and hairpin earrings stacked on top of it, then turned to Ming Tan strangely, "Don't you know, Your Highness?"

"Of course I know, it has been written several times in the government simulation book!" Ming Tan pursed his mouth, stepped forward two steps, and picked up the cloud shoulders, cloak, long jacket, horse-faced skirt, and large sleeves that were folded on the couch one by one. T-shirt, as well as exquisite hairpins, step shakers, combs, headbands, forehead decorations, etc. beside the jingling bells, he said in a broken tone, "Not to mention the pile of etiquette, just wear this suit. Clothes, hair all messed up to climb a mountain - how tiring it is!"

"Your Highness, be careful. This is a regulation clearly recorded in the ancient rituals, and you must strictly abide by it."

Lin Shurong glanced at her warningly, picked up the skirt and looked at it for a while, then turned to look at Mingtan's waist, frowned and said, "Why do I think this skirt...maybe it's made a little smaller?"

Her words were not loud, but the effect was as immediate as stabbing a hornet's nest.Ming Tan, who was still extremely resistant to the clothes just now, was stunned, his cat eyes widened, and he immediately bared his teeth in protest: "I'm not fat! You're talking nonsense! Nonsense!"

Her fangs and claws are so cute that Lin Shurong couldn't help laughing, and she shook her skirt like a cat with her hands, and said slowly: "Oh, is that so? Then Your Highness might as well try it out." Try it, so I can see if you have eaten too many snacks recently..."

"Hmph, try it!"

When his girlfriend questioned his figure, Ming Tan immediately abandoned all the resistance just now, grabbed the horse-faced skirt, and said angrily: "Here, let you see, no matter how much snacks I eat, I will never eat it." Will be fat!"

"Yes, yes," Lin Shurong saw that his goal had been achieved, immediately covered his lips and smiled, and nodded again and again, "Then Your Highness, remember to put on all the outfits, and familiarize yourself with the etiquette of Feng Chan in advance."

Ming Tan holding the skirt: "..."

ah!How could this be so!I fell for it!
