Zhang Ren was afraid that there would be some misunderstanding between the two sides, and it would be difficult for him to deal with it, so he stood directly in front of Xu Haoyuan, and at the same time turned around to comfort him: "I am here, don't worry."
Just this sentence made Xu Haoyuan feel a lot more at ease. She didn't know how much ecstasy soup Zhang Ren had poured into her recently.
After appeasing Xu Haoyuan, Zhang Ren bowed his hands towards the Thousand-faced Man and said, "Senior brother, what brought you to Moss Manor? I'm not talking about you. This is the place where the Beggar Clan belongs. You lead people Isn’t it bad to break in like this?”
Thousand-faced Man curled his lips and said, "You think I'm willing to break in? Isn't it just to find your kid? Hurry up! Come with me!"
Although the Thousand-faced Man was usually playful and playful, this was the first time Zhang Ren saw him in such a hurry. Zhang Ren immediately asked, "But what happened?"
The Thousand-Faced Man frowned and shook his head, "This is a serious matter, and this is not the place to talk."
The chamberlain on the side also hurriedly said: "Zhang Baihu, please hurry up, His Majesty is still waiting for you in the imperial study."
Zhu Yuanzhang summoned himself? And they also used Jin Yiwei, which must be a big deal.
Zhang Ren nodded to the chamberlain, then turned to Xu Haoyuan and said, "Miss Xu, I'm going to deal with some important matters first. The unfinished story can only be told in two days."
Xu Haoyuan naturally knew that there must be something important when he came to find someone, but she didn't care about anything important. She was only afraid that Zhang Ren would encounter some danger.
The ninth-generation elder of the Beggar Clan is already a very prestigious presence in the world, but in front of the court, this nine-pocket elder is worthless. Xu Haoyuan also knew that he could not do much to help Zhang Ren, so he could only say: "be safe."
Zhang Ren nodded and followed the chamberlain out of Qingmaoshuang.
The Thousand-faced Man deliberately stayed at the back and looked at Xu Haoyuan with great interest.
This also made Xu Haoyuan unhappy, but she also heard Zhang Ren calling him senior brother to Qianmianren just now, so she didn't have an attack.
Unexpectedly, the Thousand-faced Man raised his hands and said, "It is true that I broke into Qingmaoshuang without notifying you today for a reason. I am here to apologize to you, but I have nothing to compensate for. Why don't you let my incompetent junior brother accompany you more?" Will I accompany you?"
Before Xu Haoyuan could reply, the Thousand-faced Man turned around and left. He seemed to be muttering to himself: "There are so many official ladies in Yingtian Mansion, but my junior brother doesn't like any of them, but the girl from Qingmoshuang is really good, no wonder This kid runs here every day."
The Thousand-faced Man did not lower his voice when he spoke, but Xu Haoyuan's face turned red after hearing these last few words.
The group of people rode forward, and Zhang Ren also took this opportunity to come to the side of the Thousand-faced Man and asked: "Brother, what happened?"
The person in front looked serious and said, "The prince has passed away."
Zhang Ren didn't understand and asked again: "Died? What do you mean?"
The Thousand-faced Man shook his head helplessly, "I have long heard that you are uneducated and ignorant. I didn't believe it before, but now I really believe it. The prince is gone!"
The prince is dead? In fact, Zhang Ren didn’t have much interaction with the prince. The biggest impression he had on him was that the prince always had a gentle smile, and the other one was that he was always sick. Zhang Ren remembered that a few days ago, Yun Wen said that his father was better than before. Quite a few, it didn’t take long, how can you say it’s gone?
….
Maybe Zhang Ren is a bit nervous. He said that he still doesn't know what it means when the prince passes away. All he can think about now is whether Zhu Yunwen will be too sad.
A group of people entered the palace. The Thousand-faced Man and the chamberlain guarded the door of the royal study, but Zhang Ren went in grandly.
Usually, Zhu Yuanzhang only summoned three or five courtiers in the imperial study, but today he summoned quite a few. The chief officers of the three provinces and six ministries, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, the minister of Dali Temple, the censor of Zuodu, and the governor of Zuojun were all among them.
Now the imperial study room seemed a little crowded.
Zhang Ren came a little late, so he didn't say much and just found a place to stand near the corner.
He looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang who was sitting on the throne, and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was supporting the table with one hand and holding the
His forehead looked very haggard, as if he had aged ten years.
If his halo faded, he would be nothing more than an old man who lost his beloved son.
But he is the king of the Ming Dynasty after all, and no one among the lowly courtiers will treat him as an old man who has lost his beloved son, and no one will feel sorry for him.
I only heard Zhao Mian, the Minister of Household Affairs, come out and say: "Your Majesty, now that the crown prince has passed away, in order to stabilize the situation of the government, please immediately decide on a successor and a new crown prince."
Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled a breath, raised his eyes to look at the ministers, and then said feebly: "The prince has just left, and you are going to let me draft a new heir apparent? This is my business, so I won't bother you all, dear friends!"
Zhao Mian puffed up his chest and said, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't have family affairs, your affairs are state affairs! Since they are state affairs, you should make early decisions to avoid unnecessary complications!"
As soon as Zhao Mian said this, many courtiers below agreed.
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the hand that was holding his forehead. No one noticed that a coldness flashed in his eyes. He only heard Zhu Yuanzhang ask: "Okay, since it is a state matter, let's discuss it carefully. I don't know who you dear friends think can do it." Are you qualified for the position of Crown Prince?"
This proposal was originally proposed by Zhao Mian. At this moment, he was the first to speak: "Since ancient times, the dynasty has established a direct line of succession. King Qin Zhu Feng is your second son. His mother is also the late Empress Xiaocigao. According to the ancient system, the King of Qin should ascend to the position of crown prince."
As soon as Zhao Mian finished speaking, Zhan Hui, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, said: "What Zhao Shangshu said is inappropriate. Although the identity of the King of Qin cannot be said, the Princess of Qin is the sister of Timur. If the King of Qin is the prince, we Han How can a family dynasty maintain the purity of its bloodline? Moreover, King Qin has made many mistakes in the fiefdom. Everyone here must also know that King Qin has neither talent nor virtue, how can he succeed to the throne of the crown prince? Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the implementation of the New Deal has been quite If there are many, we don’t need to patrol the ancient system. The position of the crown prince must be based on virtue and talent. Although the prince has passed away, the prince of Ruchang County is your majesty’s legitimate grandson and the crown prince’s legitimate son. He is also a just and courageous man, so he can be the crown prince of the country!”
As soon as Zhan Hui finished speaking, Lan Yu gave him a thumbs up in the dark.
As the uncle of Runan County Prince Zhu Yunxi, Lan Yu naturally supports Zhu Yunxi as the crown prince. This can also get the most benefits for the Lan family. Moreover, Lan Yu has secretly contacted many courtiers, and Zhan Hui is one of them. one.
Although the canonization of a prince is a national matter, how can Zhu Yuanzhang feel like this now? He waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about this later."
Night rivers and lakes.
