Idle courtiers

Chapter 497 Choice
The royal family of the Ming Dynasty was usually restricted by the court, and they were raised like pigs. Princess Jiashan was an exception.

Jiajing couldn't see his son, but this daughter could enter the palace to reunite with him at any time, which made the emperor finally have family happiness and some comfort in his old age.

The emperor also took pity on her because her husband died and she had no children, so no matter how mischievous Jiashan was on weekdays, he would help her out.

In the past, when something happened in Jiashan, the Ministry of Rites would take care of it.The problem is that in the end Jiashan not only did not repent and restrain himself, but the people in the Ministry of Rites were reprimanded by the emperor.

Once or twice, the people in the Ministry of Rites and Rituals and the Cleaning Department have also learned: If the vassal king, general Fengguo, or general Zhenguo violated the etiquette system, we can still do it again.But she is a woman, so the so-called good men don't fight with women, we can't afford to provoke them, and we can't hide them.

In this way, Jiashan became more and more unscrupulous, and later even beat the female officer to death.

Jiashan sent someone to invite them today, but Zhou Nan had ghosts in his heart, but he was powerless to resist, so he got on the sedan chair and went with them.

Familiar with the door and the way, soon, the sedan chair was carried directly into the princess mansion through the back door without being notified, and then into the courtyard where Jiashan lived.

"Master Zhou, His Highness is waiting for you to speak in the room, please come in!"

"Okay, I'm sorry." Zhou Nan got off the sedan chair and saw white snow floating on his head again.

There are lights flickering in Jiashan's room, and under the light and shadow, the red plums in the snow are already in bloom.

Zhou Nan is also a courageous person, but at the moment when he walks, his legs feel a little weak for no reason.

While looking around vigilantly, he was thinking about the escape route, for fear that a group of knives and axemen would flood out from both sides when Her Royal Highness Princess threw the cup.

Killing will not kill, hacking and killing a servant of the Imperial Academy, Jiashan naturally knows the consequences of Xinke Tanhualang, but he won't have any worries about beating him up.

Everyone in the inner circle of the Ming Empire knew that King Yu's death had a lot to do with his old Zhou. If Zhou Nan hadn't gone to investigate the murder case of Brother Jin, King Yu would not have lost the emperor's trust because of his involvement in it. He took an overdose of pills and passed away.

The relationship between Jiashan and Yuwang brothers and sisters is not bad, if she hates Zhou Nan because of this, it is also possible.

Open the thick door curtain and walk into the house, the floor heating is burned inside, and the heat blows in.

No one else, only Jiashan threw himself on the table and sobbed softly.

Looking at the thin and beautiful back, Zhou Nan didn't know what to say.He wanted to raise his hand to pat her on the shoulder, but after thinking about it, he took it back.Na Ne said: "Your Highness, a hundred years of life is nothing but a fall of grass and trees. It is a natural law that flowers bloom and fall, and vegetation withers.

"Zhou Nan, you've done a good job!" Jiashan turned around abruptly, with tears all over his face.But his eyes were full of anger: "Third Brother, Third Brother left because of you. Tell me, what kind of hatred do you have against him?"

Zhou Nan murmured: "It's all a misunderstanding, and I don't want to... No, it's none of my business!"

"Shut up, it's you, the villain. It's you, the villain, who spread slander in front of the father, which made the third brother sick with grief and anger. I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!" Jiashan screamed, Opening his hands, his long nails dug towards Zhou Nan's face.

Just kidding, if someone scratches the face of a dignified imperial servant, how can he serve the king and meet people?

Zhou Nan hurriedly grabbed her hand: "Princess, listen to me, ouch, why did you hit someone, let me talk!"

Jiashan struggled violently and kicked forward with his feet. Zhou Nan got hit twice by accident.

He was also completely enraged, with evil fire attacking his heart, and as soon as he exerted force with his hand, he threw Jiashan to the ground.

Fortunately, there is a thick carpet on the ground, so I'm not afraid of hurting her.

Jiashan: "You hit me, you hit me, how bold you are? Someone is coming, someone is coming, help!"

Zhou Nan was shocked, and hurried forward, helped her up, and covered her mouth with his hands: "Don't scream, let me go if you don't scream, and listen to my explanation. Do you understand? If you understand, nod your head. "

After all, Jiashan is a woman, and she has little strength, so she couldn't get out of the struggle, so she nodded her head.

Zhou Nan breathed a sigh of relief and let go.

Jiashan shouted: "Someone is here, help!"

Zhou Nan collapsed: "You don't mean what you say!"

Unfortunately, Jiashan called for a long time, but no one came in.

Now, not only her, but even Zhou Nan was stunned: "Why is no one coming in?"

Jiashan: "How do I know?"

Zhou Nan thought for a while, and said: "We used to make such a fuss, too much yelling when the wolf came, and the people in your house didn't take it seriously."

Yes, every time Lao Zhou was treated by His Highness the Princess, Jiashan liked role-playing, and he would not toss until midnight, until no one had the energy to give up.There are many more movements than today, and everyone is used to it.

Thinking of the past friendship, Jiashan's eyes softened: "It should be... Bah, you villain!"

Her voice became sharper, and she began to cry again: "Zhou, you hurt my third brother so much, what exactly do you want?"

"What do I want? I'm just an ordinary person and I just want to live in peace. But God insists on torturing me, so what can I do? The misunderstanding of this matter is too great, Your Highness, please listen to my explanation." Zhou Nan hurriedly told the festival between himself and Yu Wang from the beginning to the end in the shortest words.

Finally said: "Actually, His Majesty will still pass on the throne to King Yu after a long life. This can be seen from the fact that Concubine Li gave birth to the second prince, and Long Live rewarded so many things. Who would have thought that the prince would not understand His Majesty's desire?" Xinyi, I took an overdose of elixir again, this matter has nothing to do with me."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Nan sighed a long time: "It's all right now, the people in the palace have already blamed me. The current Yu Wang, that is, your nephew Zhu Yijun will still have my good fruit when he becomes the throne in the future? I don't even want to be an official. Even if I go back to my hometown, it is impossible to become a rich man. I am worried about going forward, and I am worried about retreating. I just want to die immediately, as long as my wife and children are not involved."

This was the biggest crisis he had encountered after traveling to the Ming Dynasty. Thinking of this, he didn't feel sad when he thought of a future Wanli emperor who was about to be exiled from the tribe.

In Jiashan's mind, he has always been a man full of confidence, when did he become so confused.

Feel sad.

She held Zhou Nan's hand: "It turns out that the death of the third brother has nothing to do with you. This is a misunderstanding! In fact, I have heard about the third brother. A while ago, I ate too many elixir and did not give up women." Se, your body is already broken. Zimu, you have to take care, there is no room for change."

"Turn around, how to turn around?" Zhou Nan asked with a wry smile.

After being comforted by Jiashan, he felt more at ease.

Jiashan thought for a while, and said: "The fourth elder brother King Jing is going to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, and I will invite him to a family banquet when the time comes, so you should also attend!"

Zhou Nan heard the elegant meaning of Xiange. After King Yu passed away, King Jing would become the first heir to the throne as usual, and he might become emperor in the future.

Today, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty know that Jiajing's time is not long.

And Zhou Nan knew that Jiajing would not survive for a few more months.The succession of the father to the son is a matter of course, there is no suspense about this.

At this moment, King Jing, who is still in Hubei, may be overjoyed when he hears the news of King Yu's death.

What Jiashan means is that since King Jing is determined to inherit the throne, I will be Lu Zhonglian and let you have a good relationship with him.

Jiashan said again: "Don't worry, my fourth brother will still give it to me. He has no children, and he likes me the most."

Zhou Nan: "It's not impossible, it's just that I have offended King Jing before. He went to Hubei to become a vassal, and I also pushed behind him. It was also my suggestion to send Zhu Yijun to Xiyuan to serve the emperor. I'm afraid that King Jing still has a grudge against me, this holiday is not so easy to let go."

Jiashan: "Otherwise, when you came up with the idea and dared the fourth brother to go out of the capital, it was each one's own master, and it was not easy for others to say anything. Now you are the center and serve the king, and the fourth brother must use it." Yours. Also, you are Xu Shoufu's grandson-in-law after all. In the future, the stability of the court will require more efforts from Shoufu."

Zhou Nan instantly understood what Jiashan meant. With Jiajing's acquiescence, King Yu made arrangements in advance. Now there are many people from the royal family in the court, and even the cabinet has two cabinets from King Yu's sect.

When King Yu passed away, they would naturally use all their strength to push Zhu Yijun to the top.

This is the first, and the second is that even if King Jing becomes the master in the future as he wishes, someone will be needed to check and balance the civil servants of the royal family.

At this time, Zhou Nan's value was revealed.

Zhou Nan: "But Zhu Yijun..."

Our Master Zhou was wondering, Jiashan and little Wanli were also in a good relationship, why did she choose King Jing instead of her nephew?

Seeing the doubt in Zhou Nan's heart, Jiashan felt a sad expression on his face, and murmured: "The palace is the most dangerous and terrifying place in the world, especially for men. In front of power, that's There is no family relationship to talk about. I don't want to see the fourth brother and Zhu Yijun vying for the throne, repeating the Jingnan past. Zhu Yijun is still a child, how can he hold the court? The fourth brother is an adult, and he is better than a child. In this way, a lot of incidents have been reduced. At the beginning, when the third brother and the fourth brother were fighting for the reserve, I was in fear all day long, and I was very sad."

Speaking of this, she shed tears and touched Zhou Nan's face with her hand: "Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang, you are my heart, I don't want anything to happen to you, I want to be with you forever and ever."

Zhou Nan was moved in his heart: "That's the only way to go." Yes, Princess Jiashan gave the best solution.

The key now is to reach an understanding with King Jing.

Hey, yes, in fact, King Jing and I don't have any deep hatred.As an emperor, he is better than little Wanli anyway.

Jiashan withdrew his hand, got up and put on his cloak: "Zhou Lang, follow me."

"Where are you going?" Zhou Nan asked.
