    "Okay!" Empress Wei smiled and stroked her palm, "Jun Han has been named Gu since then. Jun Gu is the son and daughter of my Gu family."

    Princess Yongle died, and Fang Hanjun had already arrived in the capital, and he had the heart to sink the boat. So far, the emperor and the mother have no worries.

    Empress Wei couldn't wait to call in Yu Ping, the eunuch, and asked him to ask the emperor's meaning, but with her understanding of the emperor, she was very sure that the emperor would definitely agree.

    Although Queen Wei looked full of confidence, Fang Hanjun was still very nervous, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the curtain.

    Soon, the great eunuch Yu Ping came back with a smile on his face and conveyed the meaning of the emperor: "The emperor said that he will write a divorce letter for His Royal Highness Princess Yongle."

    Fang Hanjun: "..."

    At this moment, Fang Hanjun was completely relieved of the emperor, an unusually bright light bloomed on his beautiful face, his smile was bright, and his spirit was radiant.

    The nightmare of the first half of her life is finally coming to an end.

    Fang Hanjun looked at Qin Di beside him, reached out and grabbed her hand heavily, silently expressing her gratitude.

    If it wasn't for Qin Di's suggestion, who would have thought of it!

    Fang Hanjun calmed down and blessed Qin Di, "Thank you, Aunt Tang."

    Qin Ji: "..."

    Um...why is Gu Zezhi so old!

    Looking at her little niece's tangled face, Queen Wei could probably guess what she was thinking, and couldn't help laughing.

    The atmosphere in the hall was relaxed, as if it had suddenly entered the warm spring from the cold winter, and everyone laughed and laughed.

    On the same day, the emperor personally wrote a letter of resignation on behalf of Princess Yongle, and officially announced to the court: Princess Yongle retired from her husband, her daughter changed her surname to Gu, and was named the Lord of Anya County. .

    This incident caused the entire court to be shocked, and there was an uproar.

    Everyone knew that the emperor did not like the Fang family, Dong Pingbo, and even the marriage arranged by the late emperor for the eldest princess Yongle.

    But this matter of marriage, the order of the parents, the late emperor is the biological father of Princess Yongle, and he is also the king. Whoever he wants to marry his daughter, whether it is Princess Yongle or someone else, is understandable!

    Immediately, someone pointed out the inappropriateness to the emperor, especially the princes of the royal family who thought it was absurd, and the imperial envoys also jumped out one by one, expressing their objections, saying that there was never a precedent for women to divorce their husbands in this dynasty. Moreover, the children of the Fang family were brought out and changed their names, which was simply too shocking.

    Some people righteously said that the eldest princess is a royal princess and should be a role model for women in the world.

    Besides, the eldest princess has passed away, so why bother disturbing the tranquility of the deceased again, the eldest princess Yongle divorced her husband, which meant that even her coffin had to be moved from the Fang family's ancestral tomb.

    The emperor directly rejected these discounts.

    So, the concubines of the royal family came to the Empress Dowager Liu and explained the thoughts of the courtiers and the clan. They all knew that Empress Dowager Liu was soft-hearted and the emperor was filial, so they asked Empress Dowager Liu to persuade the emperor. scolded severely.

    "The emperor's generation of Yongle Huev means Ai's family!"

    "Yongle only asks for Aijia in his dreams, why can't Aijia fulfill her?!"

    "Since you think that Yongle shouldn't divorce, it's just right. Now the position of the main room of Uncle Dongping is still empty, and someone needs to remarry to Yuzhou. Whoever thinks that Yongle should not divorce, set an example and marry his own daughter to Yuzhou. , it is also good to continue the string for Dong Ping Bo, and fully fulfill the love and son-in-law of the late emperor for Dong Ping Bo."

    When it comes to their own daughters, these royal concubines were all speechless and left the palace in despair.

    After the emperor heard about it, he also felt that Empress Dowager Liu's idea was really good. He publicly stated in the court that he was planning to pick someone to marry to Yuzhou. If anyone thinks that it is inappropriate for the eldest princess to suspend her husband, then he thinks that Bo Dongping is a good match. Just send your daughter out and marry him to Yuzhou.

    As soon as these words came out, even the most noisy envoy became dumb, who would dare to answer!

    Everyone knows that the enmity between the King of Yu and the Emperor cannot be resolved. There will eventually be a war between the two sides. At that time, the family that is married to Yuzhou will be unhappy at both ends. This is a marriage, and it is to put the family's head on the knife's edge. Hit it, find your own way.

    Although they didn't know what time Princess Yongle lived in Yuzhou, but she was only in her early thirties, and she died so young, she must have some shameful secrets.

    For these courtiers, it's okay to talk, but it's absolutely impossible to send their daughters out and take the whole family on board.

    The emperor felt happy, looked around the ministers and asked, "Who else has an opinion?"

    All the ministers said in unison, "Your Majesty Shengming."

    The emperor retreated with a straight face, and went back to face Empress Wei. He smiled again and sighed: "This world doesn't hurt me, and I never know how much others hurt."

    Empress Wei smiled smugly, and asked for the reward for her niece: "Your Majesty, isn't this a good idea for Xiaoji? Shouldn't it be rewarded?"

    This idea was made by Qin Di. The day before yesterday, after the decision of the Hughes, Qin Di and Fang Hanjun were called by Empress Dowager Liu to speak. Qin Di told Empress Dowager Liu that most of the Taoist guards were going to talk about it these days. After a lot of trouble, casually made this suggestion to make the Queen Mother happy, and the Queen Mother really did it.

    The emperor laughed: "Xiaoji is a smart child, and he hits the heart of these people. I have to think about adding some good things to her."

    Empress Wei smiled and thanked her niece, and the couple talked and laughed.

    On the same day, the prince-in-law was unfaithful and unjust, and the princess of Yongle, the eldest princess, dismissed her husband, and announced it to the whole country in the form of an official document.

    In addition to sending people to send the two divorce papers of the mother and daughter to Yuzhou, the emperor also sent the eunuch Zhou Xin to the residence of King Yu in the capital to convey the will to Gu Xi, Duanrou County Master and others.

    Although it was an oral order, Gu Xi, Duanrou County Master and others also needed to kneel to listen. Zhou Xin also deliberately chose the Waiyi Gate to pass the oral order, and let them kneel on the cold and hard bluestone brick floor.

    After listening to the oral order, Duanrou County Master stood up with the help of the maid, and started to panic: "Ridiculous! How can a woman divorce her husband!"

    Zhou Xin taunted the corners of his mouth, and said yin and yang, "Is the county lord dissatisfied? Just hold back if you disapprove. This is the capital, not Yuzhou."

    Duanrou County Master: "!!!"

    Gu Xi calmly pulled Princess Duanrou's sleeve, she could only shut her mouth, tightly clutching the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes gloomy.

    Zhou Xin said again: "The emperor also said that he ordered our family to 'escort' the three back to Jiuqu Garden to stay, and be filial to the concubine, and don't always run around when you have nothing to do. In this winter, you always fall into the lake. it is good!"

    Zhou Xin glanced meaningfully at Tang Fengchun.

    Tang Fengchun didn't dare to refute a word, silently staring at the toe of the shoe embroidered with a pair of flying swallows, that slender body looked so thin and delicate in the cold wind.

    Useless! Really useless! Duanrou County Master held his breath and could only stare at Tang Fengchun angrily, his eyes seemed to be breathing fire.

    Their faces in the Yuwang Mansion are almost lost in this capital!

    Tang Fengchun bit his lower lip slightly and lowered his head lower.

    On the same day, the three of them were sent by the Imperial Army to the Jiuqu Garden of the Palace, and they were ordered not to go out for half a step.

    On the eleventh day of the winter moon, the emperor and his party left Beijing and went to Nanyuan hunting ground for winter hunting, while the sixth prince stayed in Beijing to supervise the country.

    This time, Qin Di didn't follow him. She and Gu Zezhi's wedding date was approaching, and she wanted to stay in the capital to be married.

    After the emperor and his party left, the capital was calm.

    When the emperor is not there, there is no need to open the morning court. For the ministers, they don't have to crowing every day. To be honest, everyone is relieved and enjoying the rare leisure time at the end of the year.

    Although the second prince, Gu Jing, was taken by the emperor to hunt for winter, his marriage with Tang Fengchun was still being planned in an orderly manner.

    Because the emperor is not concerned, the Ministry of Rites and the Zongrenfu are not concerned, and it is obvious that it is just the small ceremonies sent to Tang Fengchun.

    Originally, there should have been Prince Zonglingli's concubine to deliver the small Dingli, but on the morning of the twenty-first day of the winter moon, it was Prince Li's heir concubine, accompanied by the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

    Four boxes of small gifts, one box of red gold jewelry, one box of emerald gems, one box of clothes, shoes and hats, the last box of silk and satin brocade, plus the wooden geese as a gift, no more, no less, just right.

    The ritual of Xia Xiaoding was extremely simple, and he didn't even bother to say a few words of greeting. It only took half an hour to go from person to person.

    Tang Fengchun had a calm face from beginning to end, and sent off Prince Li, the Prince of Concubine, the Ministry of Rites and others in a dignified manner.

    Duanrou County Master's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and new and old grudges came together. From Zhou Xin's eunuch to these clans who saw the wind, they all stepped on their faces to please the emperor.

    This time, she endured the attack until the person left, because this marriage was imperative.

    "The Zongren Mansion is simply too deceiving!"

    Duanrou County Master put the tea cup heavily on the square table and scolded coquettishly.

    The Zongren Mansion actually sent a prince concubine to make a decision for the second prince, who is this negligent!

    The air condensed, and the servants serving in the hall all bowed their heads.

    Tang Fengchun looked at the four boxes of small ceremonies, his eyes flashed slightly, and said: "Cousin, the emperor is obviously very dissatisfied with this marriage..."

    "What if you are dissatisfied?" Duanrou County Master curled his lips in disdain. "If you are dissatisfied, you will use this unprofessional way to humiliate us, but you dare not refuse this marriage. The emperor is just like that."

    "Like Father King said, with a weak temperament, indecision, and inaction, it's no wonder that great things can't be accomplished!"

    If the country of this great Qi was in the hands of the father, how could there be such internal and external troubles as it is now, fighting year after year, even if the emperor wanted to establish a prince, he would have to look at the face of his ministers! Funny, so funny!

    Tang Fengchun: "..."

    Tang Fengchun did not agree with Duanrou County Master's view.

    From her point of view, the reason why the emperor recognized her and Gu Jing's marriage was that the emperor was very tired of Gu Jing and felt that Gu Jing was going to be stupid, so there was no need to stop him.

    King Yu's move was probably wrong.

    "Cousin, have you sent a letter to my uncle, I always feel..." Tang Fengchun reminded politely.

    However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted impatiently by Duanrou County Master: "You have no part in speaking here!"

    Duanrou County Master vented all the unhappiness of these days on Tang Fengchun.

    Tang Fengchun bit his lower lip slightly and didn't say anything at all.

    Duanrou's temperament has been stubborn since she was a child, and she doesn't listen to people's words, but because King Yu likes her, she thinks that her temperament is like himself, she is bold and generous, and she is not allowed to be a man.

    Duanrou County Master picked up the tea cup a little irritably, and disliked the cold tea, and scolded.

    When they came to the capital this time, they had planned carefully, but they did not expect that things would not go well.

    Because Fang Hanjun did not hesitate to burn all the jade and stone, and was out of control, so that all their previous layouts had to be redone.

    Before coming, the father and their brothers and sisters had talked about the emperor's sons. They also knew that the second prince, Gu Jing, was not favored, but because he was the eldest son of the emperor and had the help of his grandfather, Duke Chengen, he still had some connections in the court to support him. Yes, so they had to bury someone next to Gu Jing, so that it would be easier to handle in the future.

    Therefore, she asked Tang Fengchun to temporarily change the target to Gu Jing.

    and……

    Princess Duanrou squinted, picked up the new tea that the maid had just served, and said with a smile: "Gu Jing is still sensible. Unlike Gu Zezhi, who doesn't know how to praise."

    Tang Fengchun: "..."

    Tang Fengchun lowered his eyelids, and a faint mockery flashed across his pupils.

    If you are not calculated according to your plan, you just don't know how to praise? People are smart. From this, it can be seen that the emperor who knows how to reuse Gu Zezhi is not as useless as King Yu said, at least he knows people to make good use of it.

    Moreover, a benevolent ruler is better than a tyrant!

    At this time, the voice of a maid saluting came from outside: "Third Master."

    Both cousins ​​raised their eyes and looked out of the main hall. When they saw Gu Xi walking under the eaves, the maid quickly took off the sapphire blue cloak outside for him.

    Gu Xi stepped over the threshold and entered the hall. He glanced at the surrounding half of the circle at random. When he saw the four boxes of gifts and Mu Yan, he knew that the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites had come to present the gift today, and he didn't care.

    "It's done." Gu Xi said as he lifted his robe and sat down beside Duanrou County Master.

    "That's great!" Duanrou County Master showed joy, and all of a sudden he dispelled the displeasure just now.

    Gu Xi took a sip of the hot tea, and said calmly: "I've already got on the line. I'll go see him tonight."

    What if the emperor did not allow them to leave, he had his own way of going out.

    "Sure enough, although the second prince is not as favored as the sixth prince, he is the eldest son of the emperor, and there are always people who are greedy for the power of the dragon."

    Saying that, Gu Xi looked at Tang Fengchun, who was diagonally opposite, and said meaningfully: "Cousin, don't be careless. The second prince's favorite concubine is pregnant..." What he meant was, let Gu Jing was completely on their side, so he had to be controlled.

    "Yes, cousin." Tang Fengchun replied obediently, with bitterness in his heart.

    She is not Fang Hanjun. Fang Hanjun was suffering in Yuzhou, but after coming to the capital, it was different. She was protected by the emperor and the queen mother.

    What if she was married before, the emperor can always choose a suitable marriage for her in the future. As long as the emperor is on the throne for one day, Fang Han's life can always go on safely.

    xiaoshutingapp.com

    I am different from Fang Hanjun. What if she is a direct daughter, in her father's eyes, she is not as good as a concubine born to a lowly servant!

    Tang Fengchun drank tea silently, and the hall returned to peace.

    With so many eyes watching in Beijing, they naturally saw Xiao Dingli's hasty and haste. It can be imagined whose connivance the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites got. The emperor simply put his dislike of the second prince on the surface.

    In contrast, the Sixth Prince was in the limelight for a while.

    Originally, when the emperor just left, some people were waiting to see the joke of the sixth prince, wanting to see how a six-year-old child came to supervise the country. As a result, these days, all government affairs have been handled in an orderly manner.

    The entire court was smooth, and some of the original neutral factions gradually changed their minds. They felt that although the sixth prince was young, he was diligent and eager to learn, humble and inquisitive. Several cabinet elders, or Taifus, all praised the sixth prince.

    On the other hand, the behavior of the second prince since these days has been disappointing in every way: first, the boudoir affair between him and his favorite concubine was rumored in Beijing, and then went to Jinzhou to kill a mere bandit and burned it. A full 500,000 taels, mobilizing teachers and moving the crowd.

    Even a national young master is better than a prodigal and notorious prince!

    These discussions were spread among the courtiers, and although no one came to talk to Duke Chengen, within a few days, it was inevitable that they would reach Duke Chengen's ears.

    Such a change in wind direction made Cheng En Gong very uneasy, and he was uneasy for several days in a row.

    As he expected, the marriage between the second prince and the cousin of Prince Yu's mansion really made the emperor even more dissatisfied with the second prince.

    "Hey!" Duke Chengen sighed.

    At this time, the carriage drove into Duke Cheng'en's mansion and stopped at the door of Waiyi, but Duke Cheng'en, who was very worried, didn't realize it until the servant carefully called "Grandpa Guo" from outside, and he didn't come back. God came, and got out of the carriage with the help of the servant.

    Cheng Engong came back late today, the sky was completely dark, and the bright red lanterns were lit in the courtyard to illuminate the surroundings, echoing the stars in the sky.

    "Don't go to the main courtyard." Duke Cheng'en gave a casual order, and the old lady who was standing outside the carriage responded immediately and went to report to Mrs. Cheng'en, who was in the main courtyard.

    Gong Eng went to the outer study alone, and the silver moonlight cast mottled light and shadow on Gong Eng's face through the sparse branches.

    Cheng Engong sighed again, his heart was very irritable.

    On the day of the winter solstice, when he heard the emperor's order to marry Tang Fengchun and the second prince at the banquet in Shouning Palace, he was stunned.

    At that time, he didn't know what happened, so he could only wait patiently for the banquet to end before going to see Gu Jing, only then did he know the ins and outs of the falling into the water incident.

    At that time, Duke Eng also scolded Gu Jing, thinking that he was too naive.

    The hatred between the emperor and King Yu is too deep, and now there is another life of Princess Yongle, the two sides will never shake hands and make peace. Gu Jing is actually involved with King Yu, that is simply stupid!

    Moreover, the Qin family had just become pregnant, so Gu Jing should now be in a small clothes and wait patiently for the birth of the emperor's eldest grandson.

    For the royal family, the most important thing is the continuation of the bloodline. As long as there is the eldest grandson of the emperor, it is Gu Jing's biggest bargaining chip, and many courtiers will naturally lean towards him.

    In the end, he didn't say a few words, but was interrupted impatiently by Gu Jing, saying that he had his own measure.

    Duke Chengen was afraid of causing Gu Jing's rebellious psychology, so he could only do it temporarily.

    But now the development of the situation is obviously as he expected, and the emperor is more and more disgusted with Gu Jing.

    It is clear that Gu Jing has just made military achievements when he suppressed bandits in Jinzhou, and the Qin family has the eldest grandson of the emperor. Recently, the emperor's dragon body is also good. Gu Jing can spend a few years patiently and make some achievements. The emperor changed his mind. After all, the sixth prince was only six years old. He could neither lead the army to fight nor lead any errands. Even if it is said to be supervising the country now, it is not the elders of the cabinet who are handling the affairs of the state. As long as there is no accident recently, the sixth prince will Even if it works.

    However, the second prince's temperament has become more and more eccentric recently, and he simply refuses to listen to him.

    The lamp was lit in the study, as bright as day.

    Cheng Engong was in a bad mood, so he waved off the servant and sat down behind the case alone.

    Suddenly, the lantern by the window flickered, the candle light flickered, and a black figure flew in from the window and sat firmly on an armchair by the window.

    "Grandpa!" The face of the person who came was clearly visible under the light by the window, and there was a faint smile on his handsome face.

    Cheng Engong was startled and stood up subconsciously. He got up in a hurry and bumped into the Taishi chair behind him, making a "dong" sound.

    He immediately recognized the uninvited guest in front of him as Gu Xi, the third son of King Yu.

    How is he here? ! Cheng Engong was startled and looked at Gu Xi cautiously, for fear that the other party would do something wrong.

    Gu Xi sat in a chair and casually bowed his hands to Duke Cheng'en, and said with a smile, "I have been waiting for Lord Guo for a long time, and now I and Lord Guo are considered a family, do you want to talk?"

    Duke Chengen: "..."

    Gu Xi said lightly, "Why is the Duke still hesitating? When the emperor returns from this winter hunt, he will nominate the sixth prince as the prince again. Do you believe it?"

    In the face of Duke Chengen, Gu Xi didn't even call you, but called you casually, with a contemptuous attitude.

    Duke Chengen: "..."

    Cheng Engong didn't care about these red tapes with Gu Xi, and he also realized that what Gu Xi said was very possible.

    Thinking about it carefully, the emperor left the sixth prince to supervise the country this time, probably just to convey this message to the ministers.

    If everything was stable in the court during the winter hunting period, and when the emperor returned to the capital, the matter of raising the prince would be raised, and there would not be so many people who opposed it. At that time, as long as the emperor persists, maybe the matter of establishing the prince will really come true, at least there is a possibility of 70% to 80%. Even if there is a 20-30% chance, it won't work this time, so what about next time?

    Duke Chengen: "..."

    Gu Xi calmly said again: "Master Guo, you can think about it again, but I'm afraid, by then, you won't even have the chance to think about it."

    The cold wind whistled outside the window, and the tree shadows in the courtyard swayed wildly in the cold wind, like a group of demons dancing wildly, exuding an ominous atmosphere.

    The entire capital is shrouded in a thick night, and the night is getting deeper and deeper. The stars and moon in the night sky look down, seeming to see all the changes in the world. The night is long and short, and the sky will eventually change. Lights up again, the moon sinks and the sun rises.

    Qin Zening was resting today, and the Hou Mansion was very lively. The patriarchs and elders of the Qin family were invited by Qin Zening.

    "Uncle and grandfather," Qin Zening said to the patriarch, "please come here to expel Qin Xin from the clan."

    The Su family has already been divorced by Qin Zhun, so her name is naturally not in the genealogy, but Qin Zhun's family is still on the genealogy, and Qin Xin is the direct daughter recorded under Qin Zhun's name.

    Qin Zhun was greedy for ink. Although he violated the law of the country, he was not excommunicated. Fifteen years ago, the old marquis Qin Xun was exiled from this house, and the Qin family did not expel the family because they wanted to clear the relationship.

    But Qin Xin was different. Qin Zening couldn't tolerate her white-eyed wolf still staying in the Qin family's genealogy.
