"Okay, I'll accompany you, and I'll pick you up when the time comes." His mood suddenly became better, and a slight smile escaped his lips.

The joy that flowed from the bottom of his heart made his eyes sparkle, like a starry sky full of stars.

An Le, who was sitting opposite the two, looked back and forth between Gu Yanfei and Chu Yi, smiling so much that her eyes narrowed, and she pointed her little finger at Chu Yi in a good mood, "Brother Emperor, let's make an agreement."

Chu Yi also stretched out the little finger of his right hand, and the two of them hooked their little fingers together to make an agreement.

"Hanging on the hook, it must not be changed for a hundred years."

In An Le's childish voice, Gu Yanfei laughed out of joy.

The next moment, Chu Yi's little finger turned around and hooked towards Gu Yanfei, "Are you ready?"

The three words had a deep meaning, and he looked at her deeply, burningly and brightly.

It seems to be talking about this thing, but it seems to be talking about something else.

Gu Yanfei smiled lightly, and hooked his little finger with his little finger.

Her little finger hooked his little finger and shook gently.

Shaking again.

thumping! thumping! thumping!

Until sending Chu Yi and his sister away and returning to the small study in Yuhengyuan, her heartbeat was still a little unsteady, and she would jump out of control from time to time.

She stared blankly at the little finger of her right hand, as if she could still feel his body temperature.

Juan Bi's voice came into her ears from the left ear and out the right ear: "Girl, the gate of Zhen's Yinzhuang is very lively now, and the whole street is full of people."

"Shortly after the eldest princess returned to the palace, the people in the palace sent gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin that the eldest princess rewarded to Zhen's Yinzhuang. They said that the eldest princess thought that Miss Zhen was ingenious, and this was a reward for Miss Zhen. .”

"Boss Zhen was grateful to Dade. At that time, facing the direction of the palace, he knelt down and kowtowed three times in a row, and announced in public that his daughter will inherit his family in the future, and he will never inherit it."

Having said this, Juan Bi laughed out loud with joy, as if he was happy and envious when watching a play.

"The people around there praised Boss Zhen's good fortune. Having such a daughter who can support the lintel is worth ten sons. In the future, there will be many blessings."

"Boss Zhen was so happy that he sprinkled two full baskets of copper coins on the people on the street. Even the children around him ran to pick up copper coins. It was even more lively than Chinese New Year..."

"Miss Zhen is really proud this time!!"

The Zhen family was just an ordinary merchant. In the Dajing Dynasty, although the status of merchants was slightly improved compared to the previous dynasty, and they could participate in the imperial examination, they were still at the bottom of the ranks of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce.

Commoners naturally have a sense of awe towards the royal family. To them, the eldest princess is no different from the gods in the sky. Even the eldest princess summoned Miss Zhen, so Miss Zhen's character is naturally extraordinary, and even the eldest princess Women are also honored.

All the people from the Tiantian clan came, and they were overjoyed to ask about the eldest princess going to Yinzhuang today. Except for a few harsh words from the clan elders who relied on the old to sell the old, no one else dared to object to Miss Zhen's inheritance of the family business. thing.

Under the publicity of Boss Zhen and those who are interested, the news about the Zhen family spread like wings in the capital. When people mentioned the matter about the female marquis in the Marquis of Ji’an’s mansion, they would inevitably mention it again. Miss Zhen.

Naturally, all the courtiers in the court heard about it, including Xiao Shoufu.

"absurd!"

In the main hall of King Kang's Mansion, Xiao Shoufu slapped the coffee table heavily with his palm, his face was ashen, and his beard was blowing wildly. He could no longer maintain his usual calm and calm demeanor, and said angrily: "My lord, how could you The principle of letting women inherit the family business, if this continues, the Dajing Dynasty will be over!"

Kang Wang Chuyou sat on the head, his face sinking like water.

Xiao Shoufu drew his right hand abruptly, and said again: "My lord, you can no longer sit idly by and let the emperor do whatever he wants. Wouldn't it be that yin and yang are reversed, and the rooster rules the morning."

Chu You tightly grasped the armrest of the chair with one hand, distracted, a gloomy light flashed in his eyes.

In the past few days, Xiao Shoufu came to the palace almost every day, persuading and talking every day. At this moment, Chu You could already guess what the other party was going to say next.

Sure enough, Xiao Shoufu's next sentence was——

"My lord, for the sake of the great world, you must set things right. Those who want to achieve great things must put the overall situation first..."

Before Xiao Shoufu could say the rest, he was interrupted impatiently by Chu You: "Master Xiao, this king will not marry the concubine of Yue Kingdom."

There was a cold light in Chu You's eyes, which was frighteningly cold, and the irritability in his heart was piling up little by little, and he was about to explode: Xiao Shoufu, Wang Kangyin and others kept talking about things every day, just to persuade him to marry the Yue Kingdom .

Because of the marriage between the two countries, Xie'er ignored him for several days, it was obvious that their wedding date was approaching.

In a few days, it will be the day when he and Yu'er get married...

He was simply devastated, and he was afraid that something would happen in the last few days.

Sometimes, Chu You couldn't help but wonder, Xiao Shoufu and the others had been persuading him to marry Yue Guo, did they think that without Yue Guo, Chu You couldn't do anything!

Xiao Shoufu didn't show it on his face, but his eyes turned cold a little bit, feeling rather unhappy.

During these days, he also saw Kang Wang thoroughly. Kang Wang was self-willed and indulged in his children's personal affairs, which was worse than the indecisive late emperor.

If it weren't for their aristocratic family who really had no other choice, or if it wasn't for the first emperor, there were only two imperial sons, the emperor and King Kang, they really wanted to change someone.

Pressing his mixed thoughts, Xiao Shoufu took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions.

He stroked his goatee slowly, and the next sentence suddenly changed: "Emperor Taizu was wise in his first life, but he did a stupid thing in his later years."

"Does your lord know?"

Xiao Shoufu looked at Chu You steadfastly, his eyes were as dark as the sea, and sure enough, the impatience on Chu You's face faded a little the next moment.

Chu You raised his sword eyebrows, somewhat aroused by Xiao Shoufu's astonishing words.

Everyone in the world said that Emperor Taizu was wise and powerful, but no one had ever dared to put the word "faint" on Taizu's head. If Xiao Shoufu's words were spread outside, it would be treasonous!

"I also ask the chief assistant to give me advice." Chu You said patiently.

Xiao Shoufu didn't show off, still staring at Chu You's eyes, and continued: "Emperor Taizu once mentioned abolishing the crown prince in his later years."

Of course it was the first emperor who abolished the prince.

"..." Chu You couldn't help being startled, his brows twitched, and he couldn't help but think: Who did Emperor Taizu want to give the throne to when he abolished the crown prince?

Taizu had ten sons, the late emperor was the eldest son, the youngest son was Prince Cheng Chuchi, parents love the youngest son, could it be Prince Cheng Chuchi?

Chu You was contemplating slightly, and then Xiao Shoufu, who was sitting at the bottom, said a name lightly:

"Princess Fengyang."

Xiao Shoufu's voice was as light as the wind, but in Chu You's ears, it was like thunder on the flat ground.

What? ! Chu You was really shocked, his eyes widened slightly.

Seeing his reaction like this, Xiao Shoufu became calm and relaxed. He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then slowly began to talk about the past thirty years ago:

"The Taizu didn't care about the concubines in the past, he only talked about ability, but because of the bloody case in the Yongchengbo Mansion, the Taizu was determined to make the concubine right, so he made the eldest son the prince first."

"But in his later years, the famous person of Taizu I became stupid. In the twenty-ninth year of the calendar, he proposed to abolish the crown prince. Regardless of the objections of the courtiers, he wanted to change Fengyang. Taizu also kept saying that Fengyang was also out."

"..." Chu You looked at Xiao Shoufu in surprise.

At that time, Emperor Taizu's prestige in the court was extremely strong, almost to the point of one word hall, and the people even regarded him as a god and a belief. If he insisted on establishing Fengyang, then why...

As if seeing what Chu You was thinking, Xiao Shoufu sneered almost detachedly, and sighed: "Fortunately, Taizu is a human being, no matter how great his achievements are, no matter how wise and powerful he is, no matter how great he is, no omissions can be counted. Humans can't always beat the destiny."

"That year, Chidi in the north aggressively invaded Dajing, and the Yue Kingdom in the south was about to make a move. Both sides attacked Dajing back and forth. If it is easy to save at this time, it will only destabilize the government and turmoil the hearts of the people."

"A year later, Chi Di was finally pacified and the Yue Kingdom was repelled. Not long after, Emperor Taizu fell ill again, and he couldn't afford to be sick again..."

After that, in the 30th year of the calendar, Emperor Taizu passed away.

Before the death of Emperor Taizu, the prince was not changed after all.

Speaking of this period of history, Xiao Shoufu looked solemn.

Chu You was also affected by this solemn emotion, and vaguely felt a sense of fate.

It is destiny for the first emperor to ascend the throne!

It turns out that even a wise man like Taizu cannot avoid the fate of ten thousand years of mediocrity, and he will not be able to live up to the destiny after all!

"Why!"

After a moment of silence, Xiao Shoufu sighed faintly: "However, the Emperor Taizu was still too partial to the eldest princess of Fengyang, even though he couldn't store it easily, he still gave the "Taizu Handbook" to the eldest princess. "

As soon as this remark came out, Chu You's expression changed again, and he asked involuntarily, "...is it really at Fengyang Huang's aunt's place?"

When the late emperor was dying, he still couldn't forget the "Taizu's Handbook", and he suspected that Fengyang took the handbook, Chu You also knew about this, but in the past, Chu You felt that even if Fengyang took the handbook, it would be useless.

Xiao Shoufu nodded, and said with his beard: "After Emperor Taizu passed away, the "Taizu Handbook" disappeared. The late emperor asked the eldest princess about the whereabouts of the handbook several times, but the eldest princess has always been domineering and killed her." He didn’t admit it, and even scolded the first emperor in turn..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Shoufu showed a look of hesitation.

He raised his hand and made a gesture. His long follower was very good at observing words and expressions, and immediately exited the main hall quickly.

Chu You saw that Xiao Shoufu had something important to discuss, so he also ordered the servants who were serving him to leave the hall and guard under the verandah outside the hall.

There were only the two of them left in the room, and the swaying tree shadows outside the window were cast into the hall through the window, and a solemn and solemn atmosphere naturally permeated it.

Xiao Shoufu locked Chu You's gaze with his eyes, and said seriously: "There was another incident that happened back then, many people didn't know about it, and the prince didn't even know about it, right?"
