The public opinion turmoil has reached the fifth day, and the Inner Pavilion is gloomy.

During this day and night, none of the members of the Inner Pavilion went home and stayed in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Mei Ren sat in the first seat, with her sleeves folded, her eyes half closed, as if in trance.

As the second assistant, Shang Baiheng watched his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. The first assistant didn't speak, so he also remained silent.

Pei Qingshi wanted to speak a few times, and glanced at Shang Baiheng, but Shang Baiheng pretended to be blind to him, so he just looked back silently.

He knew that Shang Baiheng had visited his father at night. He observed his old father at home and Shang Baiheng in the Inner Pavilion.

So he held back and didn't say a word.

Sun Chang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is the oldest and most experienced. Although he entered the cabinet late, he relied on his old age to sell his old ones, and the cabinet members also gave them some face.

This old Shangshu has a hot temper, he advocated the discussion tonight, the cabinet members sat together as he suggested, but in the end they just sat, and everyone in front of him pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Sun Chang didn't care about that much, as soon as he slapped the table, he yelled: "This turmoil has been raging until now, and no one has come out to take care of it. The more people talk about it, the worse it sounds! What's your majesty's idea? Did you even ask?"

Mei Ren's ears were ringing from Sun Chang's loud voice, and he was stared at by Sun Chang's fiery gaze, so he could no longer pretend to be dead, so he opened his eyes slightly and said, "I asked someone to sort out all the rhetoric in the market and submit it to the Qianqing Palace.Your Majesty has not given instructions yet, this matter involves His Majesty's family affairs, it is not good for a courtier to make decisions, and it is not easy to rush."

Sun Chang was so angry that he stared at Mei Ren and blew his beard.

He has been a minister of the Ministry of Rites for many years and has presided over the imperial examinations several times. Students all over the world respect him as a teacher.

The students respectfully called him teacher when they had nothing to do, and called him aggressively to uphold justice when they had something to do. His home was surrounded by students and he didn't dare to go home for several days.

The old Shangshu knew what kind of virtue Mei Ren was, and now his brows were on fire. This kid dared to pretend to be a fairy in front of him, so he immediately scolded: "Eating the king's salary, sharing the king's worries, now your majesty is being splashed with dirty water by the whole world.Are you just being courtiers like this? Master Mei, you are the chief assistant, if you are a coward, you will be ridiculed by the world!"

Zhou Yu, who was sitting at the end, was already sweating with anxiety. He also served as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. The prison of the Ministry of Punishment was full of people in the past few days.

If it is handled strictly according to the law, all those involved will be sentenced to death, and if they are really killed, blood will flow like rivers.

With the hot potato in his hand, he jumped up and down, couldn't sleep for several days and nights, his mouth was full of blisters.

Seeing that Sun Chang was in trouble, Zhou Yu also raised his voice and said, "Masters, if this matter is investigated, everyone in the world will be arrested. In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, there is a lot of noise like going to a market every day, and it is about to cause a disturbance."How to deal with this? I beg the Inner Pavilion to give me a charter!"

Mei Ren seemed to be listening carefully, and smiled like a good old man, listening to Sun Chang and Zhou Yu's words into his left ear and out of his right ear, seeing how he opened his mouth to make a mess.

Sun Chang was already planning to grab Lord Shoufu's collar.

Suddenly someone outside came to report: "It's not good!"

"Why are you panicking?" Mei Ren was angry with his colleagues in the Inner Pavilion. He was sandwiched between Emperor Tianxi and the courtiers these days, and he seemed to be a shrinking turtle recognized by Da Jing.That's sad.

At this moment, a small official was sent to be scolded. Mei Ren glared at him angrily, and wanted to train him.

The young adult who ran in profusely opened his mouth and said, "It's not good! My lords, there is a riot in the street, saying that your Majesty's history is not correct, and he is not worthy of inheriting the emperor's rule. He said... and said..."

"What did you say?" Pei Qingshi's fury was written on his forehead, and he couldn't hold it back any longer, and asked with a straight face, "Say it!"

"Again, like father, like son, His Highness the Crown Prince may not be much better off. Moreover, father and son are one body, and if His Majesty's name is not correct, then His Highness the Crown Prince's words will not go well. The petition requires the Inner Pavilion to come forward and propose to abolish Crown Prince Yan Xi and establish a new emperorMy son Yanzhen is the heir apparent, and I will return the government to Emperor Yan!"

The people behind the scenes finally showed their cards - those people wanted to move the country, and their target was Yan Xi.

The other party knew that it was wishful thinking to force Emperor Tianxi to step down, no matter how loud the rumors were, they were all bluff in the end and had no practical effect.

The real target they want to hit is Prince Yan Xi.

Once the crown prince is successfully changed, it will turn the world around.

Those old ministers who wanted to support Yanzhen have been dormant, and they were very close to success.

In the joy of six princes dying in a row before Yan Xi was established, they were immersed in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, the eldest princess was caught off guard and placed under house arrest. They were splashed with cold water, and before they had time to discuss a rescue method, the fierce Xuan Yin turned into the seriously injured and out-of-favor King Qin who was far away in Yuedong County.Amidst the praises and shouts, he was crowned prince in a blink of an eye.

This series of changes happened in just a few days, and they had no time to react, so they could only be forced to accept the result.

Now, it is the last chance to fight back, Yan Xi must not be allowed to enter the capital.

Mei Ren and Shang Baiheng opened their eyes suddenly.

finally come.

Waiting for this moment.

The eyes of the two old foxes flickered, and they looked at each other tacitly.

Shang Baiheng was slowly preparing to open his mouth, but Sun Chang was impatient, blowing his beard and said, "The crown prince's scriptures for offering sacrifices to heaven and worshiping officials are recorded in strict accordance with the etiquette and law. Is it a child's play? Change it if you want to? The ceremony of the Ministry of Rites is meticulous.Be cautious and cautious, and don't allow others to criticize you."

Zhou Yu used to be Yanxi's superior. He had been Minister of the Ministry of War for many years, but he could not enter the cabinet. He was transferred to the Minister of Punishment by Yan Xi's favor, and then was promoted to the Inner Pavilion. He did not look like Shang Baiheng.So obvious that he is a princeling, but he, who is good at business, has already identified Da Jing's future master.

Therefore, when he heard that it was Yan Xi that those people outside wanted to move, he immediately said angrily: "Judging the country's foundation arbitrarily, the small one is a crime of disrespect, and the serious one is treason.Do things according to the law, so that Xiao Xiao has nowhere to hide!"

Pei Qingshi choked back his words, but those two said them first, and he choked up his anger.

He is in charge of the Ministry of Works, so he really has no grasp on this matter, and thinking of his father bypassing himself to discuss matters with Shang Baiheng, he is so enthusiastic that he doesn't regard him as his own, his lips open and close,There is no way to talk about it.

Shang Baiheng saw Pei Qingshi's depression in his eyes, and he smiled at Pei Qingshi comfortingly.

Pei Qingshi was so overjoyed that he almost burst into tears when he got the encouragement.

He thinks that his sincerity towards Yan Xi is no less than that of others. He is Yanxi's senior brother, and his father is Yanxi's grand tutor. He naturally has the closest relationship with Yanxi, but he was robbed by a latecomer like Shang Baiheng.First.

He did feel sorry for Yan Xi once, but he kept changing, and he could never go back to the past.

Yan Xi treats him lukewarm, and Yan Xi's direct relatives and friends also have reservations about him.

This was the biggest failure and depression that Pei Qingshi had experienced in his smooth life. He not only hated himself back then, but also was angry that he was useless, and he still couldn't get the forgiveness of his junior brother.

He didn't even have the right to follow to the Western Region recklessly like Mei Yun, and he could only watch helplessly as his junior brother was always wandering where he couldn't reach.Even Meiyun has a chance to make amends, but he can't get Yan Xi's attention.

Pei Qingshi's eyes were almost red at this moment, and he met Shang Baiheng's gaze and said: "His Royal Highness is justified, he is the crown prince recognized by the ancestors of the world, no one can think about it! Moreover, His Highness has four surnames, Jian Canglong, and Wei Xijing., Ren Dixiao, which one is not an unworldly achievement? Which one is not dedicated to the common people? With such achievements, how can it be offset by lightly questioning Huangyan's bloodline? Dajing has been in turmoil for many years.At such a moment, anyone who dares to discuss the status of His Highness as the crown prince is really a bad maggot who harms the people of the country! Whoever dares to come out to make trouble, I, Pei Zhiyou, will be the first to spare him!"

What Mei Ren and Shang Baiheng wanted to say was also robbed.

Mei Ren smiled gratifiedly.

"Everyone is right," Shang Baiheng said calmly, "The Ministry of Officials also proposed a plan on this matter, planning to advance the Beijing inspection.Jing's loyalty. Those who think wrongly should be cleared up from the chaos above. Eat the king's salary, but want to ruin your majesty's country, this kind of people who want the world to be in chaos, is a great disaster for the country!"

Mei Ren nodded, and he got up slowly. From this moment, he didn't have to deal with all parties, and could really use the power of the chief assistant to calm the situation.His gaze was as bright as a torch, and he spoke loudly: "Your Highness is the once-in-a-lifetime crown prince. He is the hope of Dajing's revival. Whoever dares to touch His Highness will touch the foundation of Dajing's society! Which one is better than bloodlines and birth? Your Highness will turn the tide and save the country.Da Jing is above Dangerous Egg, such achievements will shine through the ages, and the historian will definitely give evaluation!"

Mei Ren is an extremely restrained person. When it comes to moving his face this time, he can't suppress the enthusiasm in his heart. With his palms on the side table, he continued solemnly: "Those who disrupt the country are all clowns. DajingThe people of the world will not tolerate them! From today onwards, please ask the Imperial Academy to organize the Gathering, and invite the merchants to hold the tea party. The people of Da Jing have their own opinions, and those who endanger the country will be beaten!"

That night, Shang Baiheng went back to the Shang residence.

He took out the Qingming lantern again, ignited it and let it fly.

Jingdu is very windy, and the Kongming lanterns are blown far away by the night wind.

In every corner of Jingdu, the lamp bearers raised their heads and stopped. They knew that it was time for the lamp bearers to make a final fight.

The twenty-four solar terms trekked for a long time in the dark night, and they cherished the Jingzhe like looking up at the bright moon.

The light rain washes away the turbid wind, and they guard the light rain.

With light rain and plenty of flowers, the long-cherished wish of the lamp holder is being fulfilled.

Looking forward to the dawn after a long night, the sun will shine brightly.When the summer solstice comes, Da Jing will be in full bloom, and the lamp bearers can vaguely see the moment when the sun and the moon alternate.

Western Region.

In the same night, Yan Xi also took out the Kongming lantern in the bamboo house.

"Let's put the lights on." He handed the Awakening of Insects lights to Zhou Ci and said, "This event requires many people, people from all walks of life, and it must not be done intentionally, it must be done spontaneously by the people, the voices of the countryside,Only then can it stand the scrutiny of all parties. Those who hold the lamp will plow the grass and fields deeply, and there may be something to do."

"Okay, I'll let it go now, and I'll tell you what Your Highness wants." Zhou Ci took the lamp, thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, the lamp holder has a 'summer solstice'."

"The summer solstice you've been looking for?" Yan Xi had heard Shang Baiheng and Zhou Ci mention the summer solstice, and knew that it was a very important solar term.The arrival of the summer solstice means that the lamp holders believe that Da Jing has the energy to climb to the top.

As a member of the Lamp Bearer, Yan Xi felt excited and relieved at the same time.What he can't accomplish, someone will continue to complete.He asked, "Who is it?"

Zhou Ci understood Yan Xi's relief, but his heart was filled with bitterness, and he could only smile along with it: "I think he will come and tell His Highness in person."

"Someone I know?" Yan Xi looked forward to it even more, "Then I'll wait for him."

The wind direction in Jingduli is quietly changing.

First, several elegant fairs were held in the Imperial College. In the first round, the students were still arguing about their surnames and orthodox bloodlines. Some even boldly said: "Those who mess up their bloodlines are those who steal the country!"

The words were too much, and some students present shook their heads, cryptically pointing out something wrong.

In the second scene, some people began to talk about the merits of His Highness the Crown Prince. The students who had been agitated before were silent when they heard that His Highness was fighting with the King Mo Di Youxian for the turning point of the battlefield in the western region.

The Guozijian took the lead, and non-governmental students followed suit, and various poetry and literature meetings took place one after another.

At the same time, some storytellers in the market compiled His Royal Highness' four surnames of Qing Dynasty, Jian Canglong, Wei Western Region and Sha Dixiao into a storybook.Especially Sha Di Xiao, who spoke with eloquence and emotion, with ups and downs, made the common people feel excited and worried.

Only then did the people in Jingdu realize that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who they thought was a pampered man, had committed a personal risk and almost died.

At the same time, a group of people happened to come from the western border.These people came from all walks of life in the western region, and they heard that someone in Jingdu made things difficult for their governor of the western region, and they wanted to come to seek an explanation for the governor.

So Jingdu heard about the changes in the western region from the mouths of these people.was cleaned up.In many places in the western border, there is even a trend of not closing doors at night and not picking up lost things on the road.

The Western Region is far away from the frontier. Before Jingdu, they could only hear some details about the situation. The people only thought that the Western Region was getting better, but they didn't expect that the Western Region had changed.

And these are all because the crown prince went there.

Jing Du's attention gradually shifted to His Highness the Crown Prince. The Inner Pavilion, the Lantern Bearer, and those who identified Yan Xi were invariably trying to turn the situation around.

The strength is twisted together by invisible forces.

The technique of embedding flowers and trees is being carried out silently, and the matter of bloodlines has been faded away.

Emperor Tianxi was mentioned less and less, and people began to prefer to hear about the crown prince killing Di Xiao, instead of hearing the secrets of Hu's sex history.

The common people have a simple steelyard in their hearts, and they will follow whoever makes them live well, and the wind has begun to turn.

The Fuyan faction naturally refused to give up. Many of them have already been exposed. Among these people, there are many who have shown favor to Yan Xi but were rejected by Yan Xi.They have no other choice. If they don't win this game, the next step is to die without a burial site.

The two forces were pulling, and at this moment, a woman knelt down in front of the Meridian Gate, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety.

This woman is elegant and elegant, yet heroic; her manners are measured and dignified.

And what makes people's hair stand on end is that she has five fierce long knives on her back.

Such a weak woman, carrying a murderous weapon, appeared outside the majestic Meridian Gate.

It's appalling.

The former Jin Yiwei immediately stopped her as if facing a formidable enemy.

The woman glared at these Jin Yiwei who were said to kill without blood, and said coldly: "How can you stop this princess?!"

Princess?

There is no princess in Da Jing, except for Princess Linger, the rest of the princesses are all very old, and the Yan family does not have a princess of this age.

Seeing this woman's extraordinary bearing, the head of a thousand households in the previous office did not dare to neglect her. He suddenly thought—no, there is indeed such a princess in Da Jing, and he just had it not long ago.

His complexion changed drastically, and he immediately saluted and said, "I have seen Princess Jian'an, but I don't know what happened to Princess Jian'an?"

This woman is Han Linyan.

Han Linyan is the direct wife of Song Xinghe, the second son of the Song family in Beiyuan, the youngest daughter of Han Yang, and the younger sister of Han Linmo.

After the father and son of the Han family passed away one after another, Emperor Tianxi made Han Yang the king of Dingdu and Han Linyan the princess of Jian'an.

Han Linyan is the only orphan left in the Han family.

No one dared to stop her.

But no one dared to let her in with five murderous swords.

At this moment, a red-roofed carriage came not far away, the carriage stopped, and the guards and Jin Yiwei immediately fell to their knees.

"See Her Royal Highness, see the Crown Princess."
