After Zhu Di finished eating, he planned to go to the study to continue thinking about how to pacify the rebellion in Shandong, but a subordinate said to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, Master Daoyan wants to see Your Highness." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and the master seems to be in a hurry. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Di said: "Then invite Master Daoyan to Lone's study." ”

Zhu Di went to the study first, and after a while, Dao Yan arrived at Zhu Di's study.

Seeing Dao Yan walk in, Zhu Di put down the book in his hand and said to Dao Yan: "Master, it's so late now, why does the master still come to Yanwang's Mansion to see Lonely?" ”

Zhu Di's tone was very relaxed, but Dao Yan was completely opposite. Dao Yan said solemnly: "Your Highness, the poor monk came today to persuade His Highness to clear the monarch's side. ”

Zhu Di was not surprised that Dao Yan persuaded him to clear the monarch's side. Dao Yan had said this several times before, if it weren't for the fact that Dao Yan had been following him for a long time, and Dao Yan had also used it easily, he would have the intention of getting rid of Dao Yan.

Zhu Di said: "Master, that's it? Isn't there anything else going on with the master? Didn't I say it last time, I'm not going to go against it. ”

Dao Yan was not surprised by Zhu Di's words. In normal times, Dao Yan would give up after saying a few words, but today he is not like this.

Dao Yan said: "Indeed, even if His Highness is on the side of the Qing Jun, there is only a twenty percent chance of winning. However, now His Highness has to rebel. ”

Zhu Di's face immediately changed. Dao Yan has been following him for more than ten years as the number one strategist by his side, and he doesn't know how many people he has under his hands and what he can do. In particular, Daoyan's public identity is a monk, and he can move more freely.

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "What did you do in the name of Lone? ”

Dao Yan said: "Your Highness, in the name of Your Highness, the poor monk sent some things to Cheng Rebellion in Shandong, and asked my subordinates to enter the cities in Shandong that are still under the control of the imperial court to inquire about the situation, and then inform Cheng Rebellion. ”

"And there are ,......"

Although Zhu Di couldn't wait to take out a knife and cut Dao Yan now, he still listened carefully to Dao Yan's words, and while listening, he analyzed it in his heart.

Taking advantage of Dao Yan's thirst to drink tea, Zhu Di said: "Dao Yan, if you just did these things, then you don't have to say it. ”

"Lone immediately ordered you and your men to be arrested, and then six hundred miles to rush to the capital to ask for guilt! Whatever your people have done can be investigated, and whether Lone has appeared in person or not can definitely be investigated. ”

"Then Lone is just a crime of negligence, Your Majesty will not abolish Lone's throne because of this. So, why should Lone risk losing everything he has now, Qing, Jun, and Side! ”

Dao Yan said: "The poor monk also knows that His Royal Highness will not make up his mind to go to the Qingjun side because of this, so the poor monk naturally has other things to say." ”

==================================================

At this time, in the palace of the capital, Yun Xi was very surprised and said to his personal eunuch Wang Xi: "It's really unexpected! ”

Today, Zhu Yuanzhang's fifteenth daughter, Princess Ruyang, entered the palace to visit her mother, and Xu Miaojin was mentioned when the two were talking.

Princess Ruyang and her mother said, "I really didn't expect that Miaojin would fall in love with Your Majesty!" ”

Her mother said: "It is indeed unexpected, it stands to reason that they will not even see each other, who knows how many times they will be able to meet by chance!" ”

Princess Ruyang said: "Mother, do you think it is possible for Your Majesty to accept Miaojin as a concubine?" ”

Her mother thought for a moment and said, "Unlikely. The Xu family of the Duke of Wei is the first noble of our Ming Dynasty, and the power is too great, why did the first emperor kill the Korean Duke Li Shanchang back then? Isn't it because Li Shanchang is listed as the first meritorious hero, and his power is too great! ”

"At that time, Li Shanchang didn't have much power in the army, so he was killed by the first emperor. Although there is the Chang family to compete with the Xu family now, the Chang family does not seem to have the ability of the Xu family. ”

"If Your Majesty accepts Xu Miaojin, then the Xu family and the Chang family can stand in the same position, with the ability of the Xu family, sooner or later they will surpass the Chang family and become the first family of the Ming Dynasty again, which is not a good thing for Your Majesty. Now the Ming Dynasty does not need to rely on marriage to envelop these nobles. ”

"And there's the issue of identity. As Xu Miaojin, it is enough to enter the palace to be the queen, but now there are already queens. If the Xue family is better than a military general, it will be even more difficult to do. ”

Princess Ruyang listened to her mother's words and said, "Then it is impossible for Xu Miaojin to marry Your Majesty?" ”

Her mother said, "I think so. ”

After talking about this topic, the mother and son talked about other topics for a while, and then Princess Ruyang was reluctant to leave the palace today, so she sent someone to report to Yunxi and Xiyao and then went to eat with her mother.

Princess Ruyang also avoided her subordinates when she talked to her mother, but the two of them didn't have much anti-eavesdropping ability, and the conversation could still be listened to by the palace maids.

However, under normal circumstances, no palace maid or eunuch will eavesdrop on the master's conversation, and it is a capital crime to be discovered. But after Xiyao's corruption case in the inner palace, in order to better know the movements of each palace, he ambushed people in each palace. Although it seemed useless to ambush people in the palace of the eldest princess's mother, Xi Yao still arranged for manpower.

Because the conversation between the two of them was too secretive, it aroused the curiosity of the people arranged by Xi Yao, so he managed to eavesdrop on their conversation.

She was frightened when she heard this, and then from noon to night, she finally found an opportunity to report to Xiyao.

Xi Yao was still very calm when she listened to her words, and whispered softly to let her go back. But when the man was gone, he couldn't calm down immediately.

Several of her cronies and female officials were also not calm, but Tingle still comforted Xi Yao and said, "Niangniang, Your Majesty will not accept Xu Miaojin into the palace." Take 10,000 steps back and say, Your Majesty attaches the most importance to the rules and attaches the most importance to the stability of the inner palace. Now that the second prince has been made the crown prince, even if Xu Miaojin enters the palace, it will not affect the mother. ”

Xi Yao understands the truth, but, "What if it happens?" I'm still worried. Xi Yao said.

The others can't be persuaded anymore. The truth has been laid out, but the inner insecurity is beyond what others can do. Several people persuaded Xi Yao for a while, and Xi Yao went down to work with them all and stayed in the palace by herself.

The palace maid arranged by Xi Yao in Xu Miaojin's mother's palace had just come out of Kunning Palace and met Yun Xi head-on.

The palace maid immediately knelt down and said, "The slave maid has seen Your Majesty. ”

Yun Xi didn't know who it was, so he nodded and bypassed her to move on.

But at this time, Wang Xi said to Yun Xi: "Your Majesty, this palace maid is the palace maid in the palace of Xu Miaojin's mother, Concubine Li. And it's not a palace maid who cares about anything. Wang Xi recognized this palace maid.

"Huh?" Yun Xi immediately stopped and turned his head to face the palace maid. If Yun Xi was before the corruption case in the Inner Palace, even if a palace maid who shouldn't have appeared here at all appeared here, she might not have cared, and most of them would have passed directly.

But Yun Xi, who has experienced the corruption case in the inner palace, is very sensitive to such things, and in an instant, Yun Xi has already made up countless things in his brain.

Yun Xi whispered, "You, come with me." Then he turned around and didn't continue to walk towards Kunning Palace. The eunuch who followed Yunxi didn't wait for an order, so he came up and supported the palace maid left and right, and took her away.

Back in the Qianqing Palace, Yun Xi asked the eunuch to put the palace maid down, and then said to her: "What is your name, which palace is it?" ”

This palace maid was already frightened, and said honestly: "The slave maid is the palace maid in Concubine Li's palace, her name is Qingtian, and it is the name of Concubine Li." ”

Yun Xi asked, "Why did you go to Kunning Palace?" Yun Hee's voice was stern.

The palace maid trembled and said: "Qi, Qiyu, Your Majesty, slave maid, slave maid is to report to the queen mother, report a matter." Then she told all the things she had reported to Xi Yao. Fortunately, she still had her senses, and she did not say that she was the palace maid that Xi Yao had placed in Concubine Li's palace, but that she subconsciously wanted to report it to Xi Yao after hearing about it.

Yun Xi listened to her words, and first of all, she couldn't laugh or cry at what she did. It is very stupid to report such a thing to Xiyao. Regardless of whether Yun Xi accepts Xu Miaojin into the palace or not, Xi Yao has no way, but Tu Sheng is worried, so what is the use of her knowing this matter? Xi Yao may have a grudge against this palace maid.

Then Yun Xi thought in his heart: "It's just that Xu Miaojin, who has seen two sides, actually likes me a little?" That's, isn't it? Yun Xi, who has modern thinking, really can't understand the mood of ancient women who don't usually see a few foreign men. Even though Xu Miaojin usually goes shopping sometimes, her thinking is not much different from that of ordinary aristocratic girls.

Yun Xi was not in the mood to deal with this palace maid, and let her go after telling her not to tell others about it. Then Yun Xi said this to Wang Xi: "I really can't think of it! ”

Although Yun Xi's words were not clear, Wang Xi also knew what he meant. However, Wang Xi didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.

Yun Xi sighed for a while, he really didn't have the idea of accepting Xu Miaojin as a concubine. Concubine Li's analysis is already very clear, and it is not easy to arrange. Yun Xi is not a person who asks for trouble, although he also has some affection for Xu Miaojin, but at least so far, it is the same as the excitement for all beauties, not liking.

Therefore, after rational analysis, Yun Xi ruled out Naxu Miaojin's plan to enter the palace.

At this time, it was already dark, and Yun Xi was hungry. At this time, Xi Yao sent someone to ask Yun Xi if he was having dinner in Kunning Palace tonight, and Yun Xi planned to go to Kunning Palace.

But at this moment, a eunuch ran in and reported: "His Royal Highness the King of Gaoyang County wants to see Your Majesty!" ”
