Finished setting off the river lanterns.
The relationship between Li Hongbi and Mei Wanyan has taken a step further.
The beautiful woman smiled and looked at her fiancé beside her.
"What were you mumbling about when you were putting on the river lanterns just now?"
Li Hongbi smiled when he heard this and said: "I am praying to God. The person who will accompany me to put out river lanterns next time will be the same person now."
As soon as these words came out, Mei Wanyan's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, even to her ears.
"Bah, you're a scumbag!"
"Releasing water lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival is to pray for peace and prosperity, and it is also to comfort the souls of the dead. How can you pray for...such a thing..."
When it came to the end of the story, Mei Wanyan couldn't speak anymore.
How shameful!
Li Hongbi felt even better when he saw her cute appearance.
"Yes, I also pray for peace and good fortune. I hope that we both can live in peace and grow old together!"
"You...your rhetoric...Ignore you!"
Li Hongbi just said it casually, which was very common in later generations.
But in the Ming Dynasty, which had strict etiquette and laws, it was completely different!
As the daughter of a wealthy family, Mei Wanyan had never been in contact with a man before, let alone heard these extremely disgusting words of love. She was inevitably a little panicked for a moment, and she walked quickly to the front, leaving Li Hongbi behind. one person.
Um, how about driving a shy girlfriend...
Li Hongbi smiled, ran up quickly, and held her little hand.
"Xiaowan, you don't want to run around!"
"Because there are so many women, we have attracted countless scoundrels. They are laughing and joking together, waiting for opportunities to find prey!"
"As soon as they found prey, they would crowd in in small groups, pushing and shoving to make the crowd confused. They mixed in and raised and lowered their hands, wiping the oil happily..."
Li Hongbi's words scared the beauty to the point of turning pale.
If those scoundrels really got hold of this, how could they go out to meet people in the future?
So the little girl subconsciously leaned towards Li Hongbi, still feeling unsafe, so she stretched out her hand to hold his arm.
Seeing this situation, Li Hongbi showed a proud smile on his face.
"It's okay, Xiaowan, don't be afraid, your husband will protect you!"
Hearing this, Mei Wanyan looked at Li Hongbi with suspicion, and then chuckled: "I heard that the husband was punished with a cane!"
Well, this is embarrassing.
To be honest, Li Hongbi's butt still hurts a little now.
"There's nothing we can do about it!"
"Who let this bitch Zhu Gaoxu bully others?"
The beauty frowned upon hearing this and couldn't help but persuade: "Husband, after all, he is the second prince, and he is also His Majesty's favorite prince. If you do this... I'm afraid it will leave hidden dangers..."
These words were said in an extremely tactful way. If it were her father Mei Yin, he would have pointed at Li Hongbi's nose and cursed loudly.
Li Hongbi smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing: "There is nothing we can do about it. Your husband, I just want to be an honest man and teach and educate people in the Imperial College with peace of mind. But who would have thought of being forced again and again to get involved in these things?" In the struggle between right and wrong.”
"Moreover, no matter how unsatisfactory my father is, he is my father after all, and he cannot be beaten for nothing. But I, a son, dare to fart!"
"Not only my father, but also my uncle, aunt, and you, my wife, are all members of my family, Li Hongbi, and I will not tolerate any insult from others!"
Hearing his words, the beauty's bright eyes lit up, and her heart felt very sweet.
"Besides, despite Zhu Gaoxu's popularity, he can't be the prince!"
"Ah?" Mei Wanyan was stunned, "Why is this? He is Your Majesty after all..."
"The crown prince is the foundation of the country, and it is not something that the emperor alone can decide."
Li Hongbi smiled and said: "He Zhu Gaoxu wants to be the prince. Unless he kills his eldest brother Zhu Gaochi, he will never have a chance in this life!"
"However, the eldest son is dead, and there is also an eldest grandson Zhu Zhanji, and this eldest grandson is deeply loved by the emperor and the queen. In other words, Zhu Gaoxu will never be able to take over the East Palace in this life!"
"Zhu Gaoxu, tsk tsk, he's just a fool who was fooled."
At the same time, the main hall of Qianqing Palace.
All the civil and military officials of the court and all the feudal lords were stunned.
Placed in front of them was a huge chessboard.
But the chessboard is densely packed with chess pieces, so densely packed that it makes one’s spine shiver!
At first, the ministers didn’t think so, because one was placed on the first grid, two were placed on the second grid, then four, then sixteen… until finally, they were so densely packed that they couldn’t even fit them anymore!
More and more chess pieces are placed, and they are placed exactly according to the rules.
The officials also went from being disapproving at first to being horrified now.
Just because, put it at the back, there are already too many chess pieces, covering the entire chessboard!
The first person to react was none other than Xia Yuanji, an expert on finance and taxation in the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at the scene in front of him, his scalp was numb with shock and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Only at this moment did he finally understand why His Majesty the Emperor wanted to change the ancestral law, and also carried out major rectifications!
If we don’t change this, the Ming Dynasty will really be doomed!
Xia Yuanji understood it, and then smart people like Yang Rong and Xie Jin also understood it, but there were still many important ministers who didn't understand it, and even most of the vassal kings looked confused.
They could only start whispering to each other, hoping to get some clues.
Zhu Di sighed when he saw this. There were still too few smart people.
So he started to look around, and the first one he wanted to find was Yao Guangxiao, asking him to come out and explain.
But when no one was seen, Zhu Di realized that this monk didn't like this lively occasion the most.
The prince’s young master is not here, so who can explain?
By the way, there’s also Li Hongbi!
Zhu Di looked at the entrance of the palace and was about to shake him, but he was stunned for the next second.
Where is Li Hongbi?
What about an older person?
Where did that bastard go?
After confirming that Li Hongbi was missing, Zhu Di waved to Yi Shiha.
The imperial eunuch hurriedly bowed forward, then went out to inquire, and came back with a strange expression to report: "Your Majesty, Crown Prince Hongbi has left the palace. It is said that he went to enjoy the lanterns with Young Master Wanyan!"
Zhu Di was furious when he heard the first sentence, but when he heard the next sentence, his anger dissipated.
It is understandable that two young people meet up to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns and cultivate their relationship.
This is what young people should do, starting a family and starting a career early is the right way!
Zhu Di sighed and then looked at Xia Yuanji.
"Xia Aiqing, you understand."
"Your Majesty is wise. I understand that this sect and vassal system should be reformed!"
Xia Yuanji said sincerely: "The chessboard is like the Ming Dynasty, and the chess pieces are like the clan. If the ancestral constitution is not changed, then in a hundred years, or even less than a hundred years, the Ming clan will have hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. By then, the salary allocated to them by the imperial court alone will probably not be less than a million shi of food!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!
All the feudal kings were also shocked and carefully examined the chessboard pieces in front of them.
No wonder His Majesty the Emperor has focused on the issue of fertility. If they cannot control it well, the number of descendants will be too many, and in the end, the court will not be able to support them!
However, Emperor Taizu Gao also strictly prohibited members of the clan from participating in the cause of the four peoples. Doesn't that mean that these descendants will have to starve to death on the streets?
Your mother!
This fertility rate must be controlled!
Which bastard dares to give birth to more children? I'll skin him!
All the vassal kings secretly made up their minds to pay more attention to the fertility rate than the crime rate!
After all, no one wants their descendants to become beggars or starve to death on the streets!
Zhu Di was very satisfied with the reaction of the vassal kings.
Wasn't he the same way at the beginning, too frightened by that bastard Li Hongbi?
Now the tide has turned!
Xia Yuanji is indeed a good minister and a talented person with outstanding abilities!
Speaking of which, Xia Yuanji was also recommended by Li Hongbi!
Zhu Di got a headache again when he thought of this.
How should I reward Li Hongbi now?
