Chapter 20 Mother and Son
The peaceful Ci Ning Palace in the past.

"Snapped!"

"Empress Empress! Calm down, calm down!"

"Calm down? How can I get rid of my anger? All my children have been dispatched to that poor village! I don't know if I can see you again in this life when I go to Hangzhou! I'm going to get rid of my anger!"

The bright red brocade robe dragged to the ground, embroidered with a lifelike, chanting and singing phoenix, made the man look graceful and luxurious.

There is a nine-phoenix ring and a dragon bun hanging on the slightly gray head, and exquisite jewelry is worn on the temples and hair ends, all of which show the nobility and elegance of the wearer.

But at this moment, these objects are hanging down with the violent movement of their master's body.

"I want to see the Holy Majesty! I'm going to ask him if he really has a heart!"

"Your Majesty! You can't go!"

"Don't stop me, or I'll beat you to a disturbing phoenix!"

It was too late and then too fast, the Queen Mother's slap was already raised and she was about to slap, when a clear male voice came from outside the door.

"Mother."

As if with magical powers, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

The eunuch and maid thought to herself, the second prince is here, come on, this matter is settled.

The queen thought to herself, since the second son is here, he must have an idea, but please don't let our poor mother and daughter be separated!

The queen rushed to meet her, tears shed like broken beads, calling out to my son, my son, my poor son.

The second prince gently closed his eyes, raised his head and took a deep breath.

Leaving Beijing for feudal clan this time is not in the plan.

After having this incident with his father yesterday, he immediately went to the prime minister's mansion to find Wu Qingrou.
-
"So the emperor really said so."

Wu Wuqingrou put down the teacup, Danfeng's eyes were lowered, unable to see the expression clearly.

The second prince nodded, but didn't speak, just waiting for Wu Qingrou's next reaction.

Wu Wuqing seemed to have expected that the second prince would not answer, a smile appeared on Gujing Wubo's face.

"No wonder Your Highness said that the old emperor would look at you with that look at that time. Your Highness now is really a different person than when he strayed into my fifth house back then..."

Wu Wuqingrou raised her head slightly, squinted her Danfeng eyes and looked directly at the second prince.

"Looking at His Highness's appearance, I think he already understands the pros and cons in his heart, so let's talk about it."

The second prince saluted deeply, and said softly:
"Keep in mind the teacher's teachings, dare not forget, never forget."

"Although my father expelled me from the capital this time, it is not completely disadvantageous to me."

"First of all, it's about the big brother. In the past two years, especially this year, the open and secret fight between me and my big brother has gradually begun to escalate."

"At this moment, my leaving the capital can be a temporary step to ease our relationship, and I can devote more attention and energy to the layout."

"Besides, there is a mentor in Beijing watching, so there won't be any troubles. It's just that the fundamental problem between me and my elder brother will never be resolved. One day, we will fight until there is only one person left."

Wu Wuqingrou nodded lightly, without saying a word, but just signaled the second prince to continue.

The second prince went on to say:
"One more thing, although I left the capital, the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas are rich in land, abundant in food and grass, and the family is intertwined. After arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, I can recruit troops and expand the armed forces. After all, there is a reason to guard one side. This can be a future plan. Make second-hand preparations."

"However, there are several problems that will be encountered. The biggest problem is the shackles of the aristocratic family. The aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River have divided up the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas. If I go here at this time, it will definitely touch everyone's cake, and it will definitely cause huge problems. Bounce."

Wu Wuqing softly knocked on the table with his fingers, and asked casually:
"Then, what is your Highness' solution?"

The second prince's eyes sharpened, and his voice gradually died down:

"We will only clean Suzhou and Hangzhou with blood and rain. This king has no time to play favor and power with them. If the final plan is to be achieved, this link is very important and cannot be missed. This matter must be done by you, the teacher." Go ahead and communicate with General Lian Zheng."

Fifth Qingrou replied:

"I will find a suitable time for this matter. After all, even a military commander with a relatively straightforward thinking will not make a judgment lightly on this kind of direct line-up. One must know how powerful it is."

"The old guy Lian Zheng has been in the court for more than 30 years. He has been the Marshal of the Army and Horses so far, and he still holds half of the military power. If he is really drawn to our side, then we don't have to worry too much about Liu Qing."

The second prince nodded when he heard the words, suddenly remembered something, and said:
"Master, I went to look for Zhang Xuan a few days ago, and I met a person in Epiphyllum Poetry. Although I only saw his back, I felt a very familiar feeling inexplicably. In all likelihood, this is a person beside me. "

The second prince hesitated, but still said:
"And it seems to be my fifth brother who disappeared for many years."

Fifth Qingrou was startled, and quickly asked:
"This matter has a lot to do with it. Has Your Highness seen it clearly?"

Before the second prince could give a reply, he closed his eyes, his face was expressionless, his lips moved slightly, as if he was muttering something.

The second prince knew that this was Wu Qingrou's state after he entered into thinking.

The room fell into an eerie silence for a while.

"Your Highness, please listen to me."
-
Under the comfort of the second prince, the queen gradually calmed down.

"Maybe your father really thinks about you."

"I heard that the Jiangnan man is rich. My son will go there, so I think he won't suffer any grievances."

"Your order is hard to break. My son is going to the south of the Yangtze River. I must come back to visit my mother during the holidays. Do you remember?"

While comforting the second prince, the queen gently wiped away the tears on her face.

Although he said it to the second prince, he was actually doing psychological construction for himself, persuading himself, and forcing himself to accept the reality.

She understands her son, and her husband can only understand.

She is not ignorant of the open and secret struggles among the princes these years, so what can be done?Call them over and scold them?They are all in their 30s and [-]s, and it doesn't work at all.

The queen could only worship the Buddha every day, let the old emperor pay for the construction of a temple, pray for her son all day long, and copy scriptures.

It was one of the few things she could do.

The second prince sat for a while, and the mother and son chatted for a few words before leaving in a hurry.

Not only my mother's side, but also the light and dark forces left in the capital, I have to connect them one by one.

After sending her son away, the queen nodded and recruited a young eunuch.

The eunuch knelt on the ground and waited for the empress to ask questions.

After thinking for a moment, the queen said:
"I want to ask you, who is the Zhang Xuan that my son just mentioned? Which girl? How did they know each other?"

The eunuch immediately replied: "I would like to report to the empress! Zhang Xuan is the young lady of the Zhang family, a small family in the capital. She is two years away from the peach and plum years, and so far she only has a marriage contract. A few days ago, the emperor called into the palace to have a confrontation with the minister from the state of Chu." Poetry, and finally defeated Yunshangren, who is known as the number one talent."

"A few days ago, the second prince became interested and went to participate in the Epiphyllum poetry meeting, where he made a review. The daughter of this family was one of the contestants, and finally won the leader of the poetry meeting with this Bodhisattva. .”

The queen naturally knew what was going on in the palace, she was just curious and asked one more time.

My second son only cared about state affairs, so he actually went to the poetry meeting this time.
He nodded secretly, and said to the maid next to him:
"Arrange it, just say that this palace has got a rare thing, and invite all the ladies from the capital family to come over."
