cabinet first lady

Chapter 35 Proposal to change the crown prince
The wives of officials of the fifth rank and above become imperial orders, and the wives of officials below the fifth rank are imperial orders.

Zhang Anyi is now at the sixth rank, and Ruan Muyang is the wife of the sixth rank after receiving the gift, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Coming out from Emperor Wu, Shen Weichao and Ruan Muyang smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mrs. Sister-in-law."

Shen Wei is a person with a clear mind. He was deliberately dragged into the water by Ruan Muyang in front of Emperor Wu just now, so it is impossible not to notice it.Don't say it, it's just a tacit understanding.

Ruan Muyang thought about it, and apologized to her: "Lord Shen, I offended you so much just now."

"Sister-in-law, please be polite. The situation was critical just now." Shen Wei smiled very politely.

Zhang Anyi on the side remained silent.

After separating from Shen Wei, Ruan Muyang and Zhang Anyi walked side by side in the garden of Taishan Palace, the atmosphere was a little silent.

It was Shen time when it was announced, and it was already dark now.The night at the foot of Mount Tai seemed to be darker than the other places. Ruan Muyang raised his head to look at Zhang Anyi several times, but couldn't see his expression clearly.

He already knew about the matter between her and Xie Zhao, and if she proved her innocence, maybe others would believe it, but he probably wouldn't.

Ruan Muyang didn't know what to say, and wanted to speak several times but didn't know what to say.

It was a thrilling day, and Ruan Muyang felt a little tired after returning home.

However, the moment Zhang Anyi stepped into the room, there was finally a change in his dark eyes.He looked at Ruan Muyang and asked, "Is Madam injured?"

He smelled medicine.

His tone was as gentle as usual, his dark eyes quenched the warm yellow candlelight in the room, extremely gentle.Although he didn't know if he was so gentle from the bottom of his heart, or if he hid all his thoughts, plans and emotions under this gentle appearance as Shen Wei said, Ruan Muyang's heart softened.

Different from Shen Wei's tenacity, she was originally a weak girl. Even if she lived for two lives, she still lived in the back house of the official family. How can you not be afraid?After holding on for a long time, all the strength and grievances became vulnerable because of his suddenly softened eyes and obvious concern.

Enduring his sore nose, Ruan Muyang turned his body sideways not to look at him, and replied, "There was a small cut in the back with a dagger." Although he tried his best to endure, his voice was trembling with an uncontrollable fragility. .

She was obviously wronged, but she still didn't want to be seen by him, she was holding on by herself, her appearance was very pitiful.

Zhang Anyi sighed lightly.

What does this sigh mean?Disappointed with her or helpless?
Ruan Muyang's sour nose rushed to his eyes.

Then, he put a hand on her shoulder and turned her around.

"Why didn't you tell me when you got hurt? Are you still here with me?" Zhang Anyi looked at her tolerantly, with a very obvious coddling in his tone, as if he was coaxing a child.

Ruan Muyang shook his head.She remembered how Shen Wei argued with him.She thought that she would never be able to get emotional with him like Shen Wei in her life.

Maybe it was really because she was frightened, and the emotions that she could control normally could not be controlled now, and her tears fell down somehow.

"Second Master, it is true that King Yong'an has been refusing to let me go because of the marriage contract, but I have a clean relationship with him."

Seeing that Zhang Anyi didn't respond to her, Ruan Muyang's heart suddenly cooled down.

At this time, Zhang Anyi suddenly helped her to the side of the bed and sat down, and said, "Take off your clothes, and let me see your wound." His movements were as gentle as his own, but because of the irresistible force, he faintly With a sense of strength.

Take off your clothes and show him the younger generation?

The thin-skinned Ruan Muyang was a little embarrassed, and said, "I already asked Fang Fang to give me medicine in the afternoon."

If it was normal, Ruan Muyang would have to be shy for a while because of everyone's ladylike reserve, but just now when she explained the relationship with Xie Zhao, Zhang Anyi didn't respond to her, but changed the topic, which made her feel uncertain. Just a little bit weaker.

Perhaps Zhang Anyi just caught her at this point.

Finally, under Zhang Anyi's deep gaze, Ruan Muyang bit his lip, turned his back to him, and stretched out his hand to the skirt.

Not long after, as her clothes reached her waist, her entire back was exposed.

The skin on her back is fair and delicate, and the graceful lines of her spine meander from her stamina to the shadows below her waist, making people imagine.The straps of the pink dress at the stamina and waist wrap around her back, which is more abusive than a smooth back.

Zhang Anyi's eyes fell on her back.Rarely having the opportunity to watch carefully, he brought the lamp by the bed closer.Under the light, the skin beside her was flawless, and it was so tender that a pinch could leave marks.The faintly sunken spine under the skin is also clearly visible.

Finally, he set his sights on the wound above her waist.On the fair skin, the wound was shocking.

Ruan Muyang, who had his back turned to him, vaguely felt that he was holding the lamp, and felt even more embarrassed.His back was getting hot slowly, and he didn't know if it was because the candle was close to the person being roasted, or because of his deep gaze.

Seeing Zhang Anyi's delay in moving, Ruan Muyang's body trembled, and he called out, "Second Lord."

Zhang Anyi seemed to have finally come to his senses, and asked with pity in his tone, "Does it still hurt?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and stroked the edge of the wound along the curve of her waist.

Ruan Muyang's body trembled more obviously, not knowing whether it was itching or pain. "It doesn't hurt anymore."

It still hurts actually.

When Zhang Anyi's fingers got closer to the wound, Ruan Muyang gasped.

Because my back is facing and I can't see anything, I feel more sensitive.She felt that this painful and itchy feeling was very unbearable, like torture.

Is he punishing her?

Afterwards, Zhang Anyi's voice sounded behind her: "Madam, do you know that I was very worried about you when I heard that there were assassins in the palace? Later, I heard that you did such a dangerous thing, and my heart was shocked. I wanted to come back and take a good look at it." Look at you. Madam's skin, I'm reluctant to leave marks on it on weekdays, holding it in the palm of my hand and coddling it, but I didn't expect to be injured now."

Zhang Anyi spoke these provocative words very slowly, and kept rubbing his fingers near the wound while speaking, Ruan Muyang's breathing became short of breath, his body trembled intermittently, and he didn't know what to do.

"What should I do with my wife?"

Suddenly, Ruan Muyang felt a burst of damp heat at the wound, and it was Zhang Anyi who kissed him.

The place where his lips touched was like an ant biting gently, coupled with the faint pain in the wound, this unbearable feeling spread at an extremely fast speed, Ruan Muyang exclaimed, his body suddenly stiffened for a moment He escaped from this torture, but was held down by Zhang Anyi.

Her tears fell again, but not from sadness.

"Second Lord... Yuan Zai... I can't take it anymore." Ruan Muyang could hardly control his trembling voice, sobbing, "Please let me go."

Under her tender request, Zhang Anyi finally let her go.

Ruan Muyang seemed to lose his strength, lying on the bed panting, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Zhang Anyi brought the medicine that Enamel gave Ruan Muyang earlier from the bedside, opened the bottle and rubbed the medicine on Ruan Muyang's wound with his fingers.

The sudden coolness made the limp Ruan Muyang gasp, and finally let him go.

She felt that Zhang Anyi tonight was too unpredictable, making her helpless.

After taking the medicine, Zhang Anyi took off his clothes and went to bed, and hugged Ruan Muyang pitifully in his arms, as tenderly as usual when he was sleeping.

Ruan Muyang, who had calmed down, felt the warmth in his arms, and his heart slowly calmed down.She hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Second Master, King Yong'an and I really—"

"I know." Zhang Anyi interrupted her, "In this life, you will always be my wife." His voice was somewhat hoarse and distant.

Hearing his answer, Ruan Muyang asked subconsciously: "Then you just—"

As smart as she is, she immediately reacted.Could it be that he was just trying to trick her into taking off her clothes by taking advantage of her carelessness and depression, and let him do things that she still feels weak when she thinks about it now?
Seeing that Ruan Muyang didn't speak, Zhang Anyi lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead and said, "Ma'am, I'm tired today, let's go to bed early. I have to leave for Xiangxi in three days. From tomorrow onwards, I will be busy with the remnants of the previous dynasty."

His voice was very gentle.

Then he said teasingly: "Now that my wife has become an imperial order, I can already get the imperial salary, but the rank still needs to follow me. I have to work harder to earn an imperial order for my wife."

Although his words were meant to be a bit of a joke between husband and wife, Ruan Muyang's heart surged when he heard them.

He is now a sixth-rank, and she is the sixth-rank madam, and if he becomes a first-rank official, she will be the first-rank madam!
For the next three days, Zhang Anyi came back every day after Ruan Muyang fell asleep.

Emperor Wu ordered Xie Zhao to investigate the rebellious party in Tai'an Prefecture, Zhang Anyi assisted, if there was no progress within three days, he would be punished.

Because Xie Zhao was almost successfully framed by an assassin, he was terrified and cared about this matter very much.Looking at the gentle and gentle Zhang Anyi, he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Master Zhang is really not in a hurry, isn't he afraid of the holy majesty's punishment after three days?"

Zhang Anyi was like a ball of cotton, smiling, and said with an unchanged expression: "I am not in a hurry." Xie Zhao couldn't afford to lose now, and he didn't get enough, so naturally he didn't like it.

Xie Zhao secretly hated.

Fortunately, on the third day, Xie Zhao and Zhang Anyi finally made progress.

Through the interrogation and torture of the two female assassins, the hiding place of the rebel party in Tai'an Prefecture was guessed.Although the rebellious party had already got the news and ran away most of them when they arrived, they still caught seven people.Zhang Anyi even pretended to let one person escape, and then followed them secretly, destroying several of their hiding places in one fell swoop.

The rebellious party in Tai'an was seriously injured and fled everywhere. It may be difficult to start all over again in a short time.

Emperor Wu was overjoyed.

Because Xie Zhao was already a prince, he was rewarded with some gold, silver and jewels.

And Zhang Anyi, who was promoted to the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, is a third rank, and also a bachelor of Dongge University.

Originally, he was just working in the cabinet, but now he finally has the status of a bachelor, and he can be called a "cabinet bachelor".

After the rebellious party in Tai'an Prefecture was arrested, the parade team immediately went to Xiangxi according to the original plan.

The two places most affected by Qi Youguang's corruption case are Shandong and Hunan.

When they arrived in Changsha, they were received by the governor of Hunan Province, and they stayed in a temporary palace for three days.

Just when Emperor Wu was about to go further to the west of Hunan, news came from the palace that the crown prince fell ill because he was too tired to deal with government affairs.

The prince has been weak since he was a child. Emperor Wu let him sit in the middle of the capital this time to train and train him, but he didn't want the prince to fall ill.

"What proposal do you have? Do you want to go on or go back to the palace?" Emperor Wu summoned the accompanying ministers.

Seeing that Emperor Wu was worried about the prince, the one who was more able to observe words and expressions naturally suggested to go back.

Of course, there are also upright censors who object.

And those who are young like Zhang Anyi and Shen Wei, who don't have enough qualifications, just watch from the sidelines and don't speak.

Yu Jieshu, the censor of the left deputy capital who accompanied him, stood up and suggested: "Your Majesty, in addition to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there are two assistants in Beijing, Mr. Luo Ge and Mr. Xu Ge. It seems that the Crown Prince will not need to do too many government affairs. Governance My glorious king must be a strong man like His Majesty. Although the prince is gentle by nature, he is weak and sick. If he succeeds to the throne in the future, it may be difficult to manage every day—”

Everyone was shocked by Mr. Yu's words, even breathing carefully.They all thought of the other prince who was present - King Yong'an.In the past half a year, King Yong'an has had a great momentum.

And Yong'an Wang Xie Zhao stood beside him, motionless.

Master Yu's words meant that the crown prince was weak and might not be able to bear the burden of the country. He hoped that Emperor Wu would consider changing the crown prince.But who doesn't know that Emperor Wu respects and misses Empress Xiaojing?Empress Xiaojing dared to bring up the matter of changing the crown prince in less than a year since Bintian, she simply did not want her life.

Looking at the entire Guanghua, the only ones who dare to say such things without fear of death are the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.Emperor Taizu of Guanghua once ordered that the censor should not be killed.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu was furious, slammed the table down and said, "Yu Jieshu! Do you know what you are talking about? How can the crown prince be changed at will!"

Everyone present lowered their heads even lower, not daring to say a word.At this time, as long as you say a wrong sentence, you will lose your head.

Lord Yu knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I also think about my glorious country and society, please think carefully about it."

Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes and looked at the aged Master Yu, with killing intent flashing in his eyes, but he was finally endured.He took a deep breath and said perfunctorily, "Okay, Yu Aiqing, I will consider this matter. Now we are discussing whether to go to Xiangxi again."

At this time, no one in the room would have thought that the words of Sir Yu Jieshu, the deputy governor of the left, would be the beginning of changes in the future. Generate ideas.

When Emperor Wu said this, he suddenly looked at Zhang Anyi: "Zhang Qing, what do you think?"

All the ministers were sweating for Zhang Anyi.

Emperor Wu was obviously still angry, so he had to be extra careful when speaking at this time.

Zhang Anyi, who was named, was not in a panic, he still looked like a gentle Confucian official, and said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, I thought that the blessings of heaven will be spread to Xiangxi, so that the people of Xiangxi can feel the emperor's grace." Grandeur is a very important thing. But if we go further into Xiangxi, the mountain roads are difficult and dangerous, and there are mosquitoes and miasma, it is really not suitable for the emperor to take risks. In addition, the crown prince fell ill, and the court needs someone to sit in charge—”

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and expressed his last thoughts: "I think you should send someone to represent the emperor!"

Emperor Wu thought about his words, looked at another cabinet scholar who came with him this time, and said, "What do Song Aiqing think of his suggestion?"

This Song scholar still has a kinship relationship with Zhang Anyi.Ruan Muyang's direct sister, Ruan Muyun, married Song Xueshi's direct son.

Zhang Anyi's idea couldn't be better, he didn't go against Emperor Wu's wishes, and he gave a suggestion to solve this matter.

Song Xueshi immediately said: "Back to the emperor, I think Mr. Zhang's suggestion is very reasonable."

It is the best way to have this best of both worlds.

Emperor Wu looked at Zhang Anyi's gentle, courteous, and young appearance, as if he had seen the hope of Guanghua's future, and said with a smile in his eyes, "Song Aiqing, do you think young people are scary?"

"Yes." Song Xueshi nodded.

Next, who will pass on the mighty emperor's favor for Emperor Wu has become another problem.

Originally Prince Yongan Xie Zhao was the most suitable, but Master Yu suggested changing the crown prince, and Yongan Wang Xie Zhao was the most outstanding among the remaining princes, so he was undoubtedly pushed out.Emperor Wu had no intention of changing the crown prince, so he naturally angered Xie Zhao, and was unwilling to entrust such an important matter to him at this time.

King Yong'an was such a suitable candidate, but no one dared to mention it, for fear of offending Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu turned his eyes around among the ministers, and after thinking for a while, he looked at Zhang Anyi, who had just been promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Dongge University, and said, "You can handle this matter."

"The minister takes orders."

After the matter was settled, the parade team was ready to leave for Beijing.

Ruan Muyang didn't know about the conversation that day.The night before returning to Beijing, she packed things for Zhang Anyi, feeling a little worried, and couldn't help but say, "Why did the emperor send the second master to Xiangxi?" Although it was an extremely honorable event, the journey was difficult.

With Xie Zhao around, she couldn't figure out how this matter would fall on Zhang Anyi.

"It's just that I returned to Beijing half a month later than you." Zhang Anyi smiled, sat down beside her, and said softly, "Originally, the Holy Majesty should have sent King Yong'an to go, but Mr. Yu Shiyu, the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate Bringing up the matter of changing the crown prince offended the Holy One."

The movements of Ruan Muyang's hands stopped.

If the crown prince is changed, the most suitable candidate is Xie Zhao.

Fortunately, Emperor Wu was grateful for his friendship with Empress Xiaojing, and had no plans to change the crown prince.

In her last life, she died too early, so she didn't see whether Xie Zhao ascended the throne or not.

"What's Second Master's opinion on this matter?" She asked tentatively.

Zhang Anyi had been in the cabinet for a while, and had many opportunities to get in touch with Luo Jie and Xu Hou.But up to now, his relationship with Luo Jie and Xu Hou seems to be good, and he can't tell which side he is leaning towards, and people on both sides are trying to win him over.

Meeting her eyes, seeing her concern in his eyes, Zhang Anyi smiled a bit deep, and said: "Madam, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable. In this kind of thing, there is a half chance of winning or losing. Become the bones that the king stepped on when he ascended the throne. As far as I am concerned, no matter who is the king at that time, my subject will do the same."

Ruan Muyang pondered the meaning of his words.

So he decided not to stand on either side, to make friends with both sides, and to follow the golden mean?

Gradually, Zhang Anyi's tone became distant: "A companion is like a tiger, all I want is to be able to earn a royal order for my wife, and in the end, die of old age."

As a close minister of the emperor, close to the peak of power, in addition to worrying about making mistakes and pondering the Sacred Heart all day long, he also has to prevent being feared by the Holy One in the future.For them, it is extremely difficult to seek a final death.

Ruan Muyang felt emotional and was very moved when he heard it, but he couldn't help distinguishing the truth of what he said.

Because she wanted to ask, if this is really the case, how can he rehabilitate Shen Wei?
Shen Wei's identity, she will find out sooner or later.

At the end of June, Emperor Wu's holy car finally returned to the capital.

Ruan Muyang went to visit the old Shangshu and the old lady immediately after returning to the Zhang residence.

The old lady greeted her with care.

The old Shangshu asked her some things on the road.The news of the assassins appearing in Shandong also spread to the capital.

Ruan Muyang replied without any details: "When I was in Jinan Mansion, I met an assassin, but fortunately Master Shen stepped forward and rescued the Holy Majesty."

"But An Yi's classmate, that Mr. Shen?" Old Shangshu asked.

Ruan Muyang nodded, and said again: "Later, in the Taishan Palace, the assassin sneaked in, but fortunately he was caught in the end. The Holy Lord ordered the second master to assist King Yong'an in thoroughly investigating the assassin, and finally destroyed the assassin's hiding place. The second master made a contribution. , was promoted to Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials and a Bachelor of Dongge University."

When the old Shangshu heard this, he showed a very proud smile and said: "The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments. Luo Jie and Xu Hou both served in the Ministry of Officials back then."

This son has a bright future.

Ruan Muyang was not overjoyed by the old Shangshu's words, but had the usual shallow smile on his face.

At this time, a young man ran in from outside, and said with a bit of joy on his face: "Old man, old lady, the Holy One has sent someone to announce the decree!"

The emperor sent someone to announce the decree, and naturally everyone in the Zhang family would be there.

In the front hall, Ruan Muyang saw Wang Shi, Ji Shi and Zhang Anyu whom he hadn't seen for a long time.Zhang Chujing in Wang's arms is now four months old.

Everyone thought that the emperor sent someone to reward Zhang Anyi, but the eunuch who didn't want to read the decree said Ruan Muyang's name.Because Zhang Anyi was promoted to the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, and also a Bachelor of Dongge, the third rank, the gift to Ruan Muyang has also changed from imperial order to imperial order.

She is afraid that she will be the fastest person in this dynasty to be promoted from imperial order to imperial order, and she is still the wife of the third rank imperial order!

The imperial scroll was woven by the civil servants of the Shenbozhi Bureau under the Ministry of Industry, and the imperial script was woven by jade chopsticks, and the four characters "Fengtian imperial order" were written.

Taking the document from the eunuch who read out the decree, Ruan Muyang felt the softness of the silk fabric with his fingers, and his heart was agitated and emotional.She lived a new life, startled every step of the way, and carefully planned. At first, it was just for revenge, but now she is already a third-rank imperial order!

It will be better in the future, and revenge is just around the corner!

"My wife, thank you Lord Long En!"

After the people who announced the decree left, Ruan Muyang stood up with the support of Fahrenheit and Diancui.She noticed that the way everyone looked at her had changed.

Old Shangshu and the old lady were naturally very happy.

But the smile on Wang's face was a bit forced.Ji Shi was also not really happy.

"Congratulations to the second sister-in-law." Zhang Anyu was the first to say.He still looked lazy, looking at her with a bit of mockery in his eyes, and not a bit of sincerity in his tone.

Ruan Muyang smiled and said: "Thank you fourth brother. It seems that the fourth brother is completely recovered."

When this matter was brought up, Zhang Anyu couldn't hold back his cold snort.

Ruan Muyang walked towards Wang again, and looked at Zhang Chujing in her arms.Zhang Chujing, who was four months old, was much whiter and tenderer than when she was just born, waving her hands indiscriminately.Seeing her cute appearance, Ruan Muyang softened his heart.

She suddenly wanted a child, a child with Zhang Anyi.

If Xie Zhao died in the future, she would be able to live in peace of mind, and she must give Zhang Anyi a child by then.

Zhang Chujing's babbling voice brought Ruan Muyang back to his senses.

She took a bracelet from her hand and put it in the quilt wrapped around her, smiled at Wang and said, "This is a gift from my aunt."

"Thank you, second brother and sister." Wang said politely.

After resting for a few days, Ruan Muyang told the old lady and returned to Ruan's house.

When she came back this time, she also heard good news—her brother Ruan Minghua's marriage was basically settled.The woman is the eldest daughter of Liu Zhidong, the censor of Youdu.

Because it is still during the national funeral, the two families have not formally exchanged horoscopes.

Now that Ruan Muyang is a third-rank imperial order, when she returns to Ruan's house, aunts Chu and Huang will come to greet her.

"Two aunts, please come up." Ruan Muyang looked at Huang Shi, and then at Ruan Mingyuan, the timid second brother behind Huang Shi.

Ruan Mingyuan is only ten years old now.

Thinking of her ruined daughter, Huang looked at Ruan Muyang with a bit of hatred in her eyes, and when she saw her looking at her son, she showed a bit of panic in her eyes, and stood in front of her son.Now this son is her lower body to rely on.

Ruan Muyang found Huang's actions a little funny.She and Huang's mother and daughter didn't have any deep hatred, let alone a ten-year-old child who couldn't be threatened by anyone, Ruan Muxi was the only one to blame for seeking death.

She smiled slightly and said, "Why is Aunt Huang so nervous? The second brother is so well-behaved, it's too late to be liked."

Huang understood the warning and threat in Ruan Muyang's words.

As long as their mother and child don't act like demons, she won't touch them.

Ruan Muyang waited at Ruan's house until Ruan Zhongling came back from the Ministry of Industry.

Speaking of which, her imperial documents were woven by people from the Ministry of Industry under Ruan Zhongling.

Hearing about her at the Taishan Palace, combined with the previous two conversations, Ruan Zhongling no longer dared to underestimate this daughter.

After the father and daughter greeted each other, Ruan Muyang finally got to the point.

"Father, do you know that when you were in Changsha, the censor Yu Shiyu, the deputy capital of the left, proposed to change the crown prince, and the Holy Majesty was furious?" She came here this time because she was worried, fearing that Ruan Zhongling would stand on the sidelines because of her brother-sister relationship with Concubine Ruan. On Xie Zhao's side.

But when she learned that Ruan Minghua was engaged to the eldest daughter of Liu Zhidong, the censor of Youdu, she felt a little relieved.

Now the two major factions of Luo Jie and Xu Hou in the court are clearly separated, only the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have always maintained neutrality, and they are married to the censor, that is, neither side is biased, and it is perfect.

Ruan Zhongling vaguely heard that someone suggested changing the crown prince, but he didn't know the details. Hearing Ruan Muyang's words, his expression changed, and he asked, "Is the Holy Majesty really furious?"

Ruan Muyang nodded solemnly.

"Father, how is the prince's health?"

Ruan Zhongling sighed and said, "Since I got sick last month, I haven't seen any improvement." With such a body, how can you be a king?
As the prince's illness has been recovering for a long time, and his health is worse than before, the voice for changing the prince will become louder and louder, and the court will start to be chaotic.

Ruan Muyang didn't know whether Emperor Wu would continue to persevere, or he would follow the ministers' words and change the crown prince.

"Father, the situation in North Korea and China is unclear, it's best to remain neutral," Ruan Muyang said.

Ruan Zhongling nodded gloomyly and said, "We can only wait and see for the time being, but this is not a long-term solution."

Ruan Muyang understood what Ruan Zhongling meant.

As the situation becomes more and more tense, both sides are growing stronger. Unless they have the ability to make good friends with both Luo Jie and Xu Hou, they will not be willing to give up. Otherwise, when they find that they cannot win over, they will definitely choose to eradicate dissidents.

How about choosing the prince directly?

Ruan Muyang dared not say this proposal.

The prince has been weak since he was a child, and many famous doctors have been invited to treat him poorly. The chances of winning are too small.

But she can only choose the prince!

Half a month after Ruan Muyang arrived in Beijing, Zhang Anyi finally came back.

As soon as he returned to Beijing, he went to Miansheng first, and after Miansheng came back, he went to meet the old Shangshu and the old lady.Ruan Muyang didn't see him until night.

Perhaps because of this trip to Xiangxi, the outline of his face is tougher than before, and the gentle brows have a kind of broadness and tolerance, as if it can hold the entire glorious country and society.

The couple haven't seen each other for half a month. Although they don't say anything, they still have a lot of thoughts in their hearts. Naturally, they want to hold each other tenderly at night.

Leaning in his arms, Ruan Muyang felt the warmth of his arms, and talked about Ruan Minghua's marriage.

"Youdu Censor Liu is an upright person. Under the current situation, such a marriage couldn't be more suitable." Zhang Anyi said in her ear.

Ruan Muyang nodded: "I think the same as you."

Later, she asked about the local conditions and customs of Xiangxi, and Zhang Anyi talked to her in detail.

Ruan Muyang has lived two lives. Apart from the capital city, the only place he has ever been to is Jingzhou. Hearing about the things in Xiangxi, he found it strange, and remembered that Zhang Anyi traveled for two years after he failed the ranking, and visited many places. He couldn't help sighing: " I don't know when I can go out with the second master."

Zhang Anyi liked her soft look very much, kissed her on the face and said, "Take a rest in a few days, and I will take my wife for a walk around."

Just when Emperor Wu praised Zhang Anyi for the Xiangxi incident, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate suddenly impeached him.

They impeached Zhang Anyi, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials and Dongge University scholar, for allowing his brother to not only use his name to deliberately lower prices and raise prices in the business field, sell defective products by force, but also accept bribes in his name!

This is tantamount to giving Zhang Anyi a blow in the head when he is going straight up.
