The concubine was silent, only sulking to herself, and then left her husband and went to the palace alone.

Wanli was confused, and when the concubine left, he asked the palace people, only then did he know that the queen mother reprimanded him, and he couldn't help frowning.

A few days ago, Ye Xianggao revealed the secret, saying that the emperor had not let King Fu return to the vassal after the year, and there were rumors in the capital.

There are even alarmists who say that there will be great changes in the palace, and King Fu will replace the crown prince as emperor. He has ordered Jinyiwei to strictly investigate the source of this rumor, but in the end, the symptoms are not cured. If the rumors are not continued, the only way to return the Fu King to the vassal is to return to the domain as soon as possible.

This matter made Wanli very displeased, he said to Ye Xianggao last year, and after the queen mother's birthday, he would call King Fu to join the domain, Ye Xianggao couldn't wait, and he had to bring up the old matter again. What kind of folk rumors are there, they are taking the opportunity to force him.

In vain, he kindly approved the addition of cabinet ministers, and asked Wei Liangchen to release the teachers and students of Donglin Academy.

Wanli was very annoyed, just Ye Xianggao fell, and now the Queen Mother also came to urge, and also trained the concubine, it seems that the Queen Mother also has prejudices about the matter of King Fu not being a vassal.

He has always been filial, and he will definitely not make the Queen Mother unhappy, so he sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that he was afraid that he would not be able to keep the third child.

But how to explain to the concubine.

Wanli arrived at the dormitory nervously, and saw the concubine leaning in front of the window railing, quite lonely. When I got closer, there were tears in the corners of the concubine's eyes.

"You have been wronged, don't be angry."

Wanli sat beside the concubine distressedly, and then gently put a hand on the concubine's shoulder.

"How can I be wronged, since ancient times, there is no reason for a daughter-in-law to be angry with her mother-in-law." The concubine turned sideways, unwilling to pay attention to her husband.

Wanli didn't dare to say much about the Queen Mother, and hesitated again and again on the side, and finally couldn't help whispering in the ear of the concubine: "Why don't you let the third child out of Beijing, lest you be angry." ”

Hearing this, the concubine's body trembled, turned to look at her husband and said unhappily: "It's good to talk about winter, why do you want to change it... Can you, the emperor, be a little assertive? ”

Wanli smiled bitterly: "A few more months, a few fewer months, what's the matter." ”

"Do you really want Chang Xun to go?" The concubine stared at her husband.

Wanli did not speak.

The corners of the concubine's eyes turned red again, and she cried: "Since Chang Xun was born, what did you have as a father?" It's just that my mother and son call people to point fingers every day, saying that I'm just down, you know it's good, but what did Chang Xun do wrong? They are all your sons, why is one loyal and the other adulterous? ”

"The throne can't be given to him, so I'll just make up for it." Wanli sighed, the difference between the concubines and the concubines is that he, the emperor, can't move.

The concubine also knew that the queen mother had spoken, and Chang Xun would definitely not be able to stay in the capital anymore, but she was reluctant in her heart. But at this point, she couldn't stop it, so she said to her husband leisurely: "When do you speak, the previous Huangzhuang was cut in half, Chang Xun did some business in Beijing to make some money to supplement his livelihood, and the foreign court said that he was bullying and dominating the market, and you were a father who didn't call the shots for his son but called it to stop...

Say, what can you make up for him? I'm afraid that if you really make up for it, you will still ask the outer court to lose it when you turn around, so it will always make Chang Xun bear a bad name, if you don't give him anything, let him stay in Luoyang, eat a lot, and always starve to death..."

Speaking of these, the concubine is really complaining.

Wanli was also speechless, he knew that what the concubine said was the truth, and he really couldn't subsidize Chang Xun, because there was no way to get through the outer court.

can only say: "Neiku but there is, I will give it to him, Chang Xun is my flesh and blood, where will it be like what you said." ”

"What's in the inner library?" The concubine glanced at her husband, "You, the emperor, still owe money." ”

Wanli coughed lightly, what the concubine said must have been about him borrowing 100,000 taels of silver from Wei Liangchen.

But where can I pay back this money?

Does the money borrowed by the emperor really need to be repaid?

As long as Wei Liangchen has a conscience, he should know that he can have today, all because of the emperor's gifts. Don't say anything else, he opened his mouth to the emperor, and he Wei Liangchen can't ask for this money.

"So what do you say? As long as I can do it, I'll let you go. ”

Wanli still wants to do his best to make Chang Xun live better in Luoyang, and also make Concubine Ai's heart feel better, and at the same time, she can feel less guilty in her own heart.

The concubine seemed to have thought about this matter for a long time, and she said: "I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I don't know that I can't embarrass you, so why don't you give Chang Xun all the money from the good ministers in the future." ”

Wanli was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head: "He doesn't have any money, and the sea has not yet been opened." ”

The concubine snorted: "Don't you know about the affairs of Nandu?" ”

Wanli sneered: "I didn't even mention anything about this, I just pretended not to see it, and he Wei Liangchen might not be able to make much money." Concubine Ai doesn't know anything, the gang in Nandu are cunning, and sometimes I can't do anything about them. ”

"It's all dead, and it's not good. Xiao Wei is kind-hearted, you are not the right person to be the emperor, I can take it seriously. The matter of the mine, how did it become his Xu family. This is Your Majesty's money, and if he comes back for you, you have to support him. No matter how fierce the gang of people in Nandu shout, you can't hold Xiao Wei down and hit the board. ”

Seeing that the concubine knew so much, Wanli knew that it must have been Jin Zhong who told him, so he smiled and said, "Didn't I give him a message?" ”

The concubine shook her head slightly: "I said something ugly, Xiao Wei is more courageous than you as the emperor." ”

Wanli laughed: "I am the emperor, how can I mess with him like that." Then he nodded, "Okay, if the good minister can really gain something in Nandu this time, I will give it to Chang Xun." ”

But the concubine asked: "What about the maritime ones?" ”

Wanli suddenly frowned: "My beloved concubine, I can't live with you anymore?" ”

The concubine said angrily: "Anyway, Haijing is really going to make a lot of money, you can't forget Chang Xun." ”

Wanli smiled and responded.

He knows very well that maritime affairs will definitely make a lot of money, because Siming Xianggong Shen has always been the most refined person, and even he has to intervene, but he can think of the benefits of maritime affairs.

I just don't know how prepared Zhejiang, whether Wei Liangchen can compete for Shen Zheng, don't work for a long time in vain, all the four Ming ministers are cheap.

"How does that kid look like Shouning?" Wanli asked about his grandson.

"It's only been a few days, and what can it look like." Thinking of her daughter and grandson, the concubine's face suddenly became kind, "The little guy is very cute." ”

Wanli asked, "Like a daughter or like a colt?" ”

"Of course it's like our daughter, how beautiful it would be if it was like a horse..."When the concubine said this, she thought of something, and stopped talking, but she didn't say it in the end.

"How?" Wanli was puzzled.

"Nothing."

The concubine shook her head, she didn't dare to tell her husband about this.

Because, no matter how she looks at that child, she is a little familiar, as if that... What about Wei Liangchen...

Last year, Wei Liangchen often ran to Shouning in Beijing, and at that time, Ma Ran Xing asked him to reflect on himself in Guozijian and conceived in October, this date is the right year, and more importantly, Wei Liangchen is not a real eunuch...

The concubine didn't dare to think deeply, if there was a scandal, the face of the royal family would be lost, and her face would be even more lost, and her husband knew that he might not know what would happen.

I hope she's thinking too much.
