Shen Wen and his party walked toward the lake. Shen Wen was worried that he could not find it. At dawn, he saw a sign on the side of the road with the word "water" written on it and an arrow. Probably to be afraid that people would not read the word, I also painted a water pattern on the bottom.

They walked along the road for a while, and when there were too many people, they left the road again, rested for a day, and drove on at night. Fortunately, there will be one street sign every other time, and after another two nights, I finally reached the lake.

In the night, the lake has a wide shore. It's black and can't see things clearly. Everyone discussed that they should wait until dawn to check again, and they camped among the trees on the shore.

At dawn, there was the sound of patrolling gongs. Everyone was surprised that they went out of the tent to watch. I saw four or five government officials, one person playing the gong, followed by a middle-aged man in official uniform, walking along the lakeshore.

They stopped near the convoy, and a government official said loudly: "Here you come! Go to the lake to get water and don't fight! Don't bully the weak! Don't rob property! If offenders are found, they will be cut off!"

These people have experienced water grabbing and cannibalism, and now they see someone enforcing the law here, and they feel uncomfortable. Zhang Yunzheng saw that these bureaucrats were all carrying knives and swords, and hurriedly clenched the swords in his hands. A government officer pointed at him and said, "You! You can't bring weapons when you get water!"

Ji Wenzhao hurriedly said: "I have seen officials! As we have been, there have been places where robbery and cannibalism occurred. Weapons are only for self-defense."

The bureaucrat nodded and said, "Nevertheless, in our county, we cannot fight with arms! Violators shall be dealt with strictly by law!"

Ji Wenzhao said with emotion: "No wonder we saw road signs along the way. The county magistrate is really our savior. Dare to ask the chief's name."

An official said: "My master is He County magistrate."

Ji Wenzhao saluted again: "In this troubled world, he is a righteous person who can uphold the law. He County Order accepts my tribute."

The middle-aged man waved his hand with a tired face and said, "You don't need to be polite, as long as you abide by the rules and the law, it is the blessing of our county." After that, he walked forward with several government officials.

There were many people coming to fetch water by the lake, but because this small group of officials walked by, people did not fight for it.

Zhang Yunzheng untied the sword and said to others: "There are too many people over there. We can't drive the carriage over there, lest some people have evil thoughts. Those of you holding weapons, stand by the carriage here, and I will take a few people to fetch water. ."

Shen Wen had to go along with him because of his light skills. Ji Wenzhao and Duan Zengshi and Lin went with him. The four princes Yan and Su Wanniang stayed in the car.

They walked to the middle of the lake with water bags on their backs, only to see a piece of white ice. Someone had smashed the ice on the shore long ago, and people immersed the container in the water to collect the ice water.

One trip was not enough. The second time, the fourth prince and Yan also joined, walked to the middle of the lake, and then came back with a heavy water bag.

When the water bags were full, they set off, wanting to leave the lake as soon as possible. There were more and more refugees around.

Suddenly, there were shouts and fighting in the distance, mixed with the sound of gongs, Zhang Yunzheng frowned and looked at it, and said, "I'm going to have a look."

Ji Wenzhao hesitated: "We are benefiting from it, and we should help the top leader..."

Zhang Yunzheng said, "I'll come as soon as I go..." As soon as he spoke, he ran away. Two people who followed him chased him, naturally they couldn't keep up with him.

Shen Wen frowned, looked at Zhang Yunzheng's direction, hesitating whether he would also pass.

Ji Wenzhao asked: "Since Miss Shen Er can pinch and count, and has a strategy, why not come up with some ideas that can save the country and the people"

Shen Wen shook his hand: "No!"

The fourth prince turned his face to look at her: "You sound like you don't want to bother at all."

Shen Wenbai glanced at him, then looked into the distance, "There is no way at all! This kind of famine is both a natural disaster and a man-made disaster. Under the current circumstances, it can't be done."

Ji Wenzhao frowned and asked: "What does it mean can't do it!"

Shen Wen said: "This kind of thing has to be told about two hours in the light of the background, and it can't be summed up in a word." His tone was particularly impatient. Ji Wenzhao was robbed, very upset, and whispered to the fourth prince: "She is just worried about that stunned kid, so rude!"

Shen Wen was preparing to go, and seeing Zhang Yunzheng rushing back in the distance, he arrived, Shen Wen found two blood spots on his face, and hurriedly asked: "You haven't..."

Zhang Yunzheng said unhappily: "Of course there was no injury! Worrying is a curse, you know don't underestimate people so much!"

Shen Wen said angrily: "Who is underestimating you!"

Ji Wenzhao coughed and concealed his words: "Really stupid!"

Zhang Yunzheng was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly grinned: "You worry about me."

Shen Wen said firmly: "No!"

Ji Wenzhao said: "Let's go quickly!"

Zhang Yunzheng looked back: "My people will leave as soon as they come back."

Ji Wenzhao asked: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Grab the food! Now that there is water, people start to grab the food. The county magistrate led people to stop, but the other party was hard at work, and several government officials could not stop..." As he was talking, two of his subordinates could not stop him. The individual and two government officials walked over. Both government officials were injured. One of them saluted: "My master thanked the strong men for helping."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "It's nothing, it's hard for your county magistrate to dare to act at this time, aren't you afraid?"

A servant nodded and said, "My master is a man, we admire him, so we plan to take our lives in."

Ji Wenzhao said: "Thanks to your county magistrate, saying that someone is always grateful to him."

The two government officials had gone to salute, and they set off again, heading towards Shen Wen's wine cellar.

Ji Wenzhao remembered what Shen Wen had said. As soon as he arrived at the camping place, he walked to Shen Wen who had just got off the car and said: "Okay, now we are camping. Tell me why there is no way."

The four princes often followed Ji Wenzhao around, and at this time they also came over.

Shen Wen sat on the side of the car, with his feet hanging in the air, and asked: "First, tell me why we have ... officials."

Ji Wenzhao said: "Officials, just take care. You see, we have gone this way. Where there are no officials, there are people who cannibalize people. Today, where there are officials in charge, it is much safer."

Shen Wen nodded and said: "The role of officials is to manage, protect the stability of the society, and help the weak. Then look at it, does the court play a role now?"

Ji Wenzhao said: "The severity of this drought is beyond the capacity of the court. The court has distributed relief many times. Now that the granary is empty, the officials have no food to release, and naturally they cannot control the people."

Shen Wen said: "The imperial court failed not because of a shortage of resources, but because of decision-making errors and huge waste."

Ji Wenzhao thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's also..."

Shen Wen said: "No, yes, yes. Now the population is no more than 100 million people. In the future, this land can survive 400 million people, and even 600 million people will survive through the field."

Ji Wenzhao lost his voice: "What! So many people!"

Shen Wen sighed: "Of course, that's not a good thing, but I just want to say that if you manage it properly, you should completely avoid this kind of disaster."

The fourth prince said: "Yes, that cannibal city is not without water."

Ji Wenzhao frowned: "How can we manage properly"

Shen Wen helplessly said: "This is difficult. Generally speaking, if a country is to have long-term peace and stability, it must be supported by various aspects. For example, it must have a reasonable system, a developed economy, and an advanced state. experience……"

Ji Wenzhao raised his hand: "Stop! These... can be different from what Shi Ji or Zi Zhi Tong Jian said..."

Shen Wen rolled his eyes and said, "Of course it's different. First of all, let's talk about the system. A system is a track that can restrict people's behavior. Simply put, it is to divide the porridge. There are now a lot of hungry people who want to share a pot of porridge. If not, management……"

Ji Wenzhao rushed and said: "Then we must go together, and the porridge will be overturned, and no one can get it. So there must be a personal leader."

Shen Wen Wrench pointed out: "Then the most primitive leader is a powerful person, who has the power to subdue everyone, can divide the gruel, but also holds the power of distribution."

The four princes expressed their understanding and said: "That is to say, he divided the porridge, and he was in charge of whom."

Shen Wen nodded and said: "Some people will try their best to distribute evenly, but people are not perfect, they have seven emotions and six desires. If everyone is hungry..."

Ji Wenzhao clapped his hands: "Then I will give more to myself and more to my relatives and friends! I understand, this is the rule of power you said last time, the rule of man!"

Shen Wen said: "Therefore, when power and interest are combined, people will fight to be the emperor, be the emperor of the land, and be the one who holds the power to divide the gruel."

The fourth prince nodded: "Then there will naturally be corruption."

Shen Wen said: "The biggest corrupt criminal is the emperor!"

Ji Wenzhao laughed: "You scold the emperor again."

Shen Wen said: "There is a man named Huang Zongxi who thinks that the right to all the interests of the world comes from me. I will give all the benefits of the world to myself and all the harms of the world to people! With my great selfishness, The prince of the world! It means that all good things belong to oneself, and all bad things belong to others. One's own private interests have become the universal goal of the world."

Ji Wenzhao nodded and said, "This is how I would rather let the people of the world take on me than let the people of the world take on me!"

Shen Wen sneered and said: "Look at the world as a great industry, pass it on to the descendants, and enjoy it infinitely! Regarding the people of the world as the private property of the monarch, we can only be running dogs, not masters."

Ji Wenzhao frowned and thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's really like this. But not so, who will govern the country?"

Shen Wen curled his lips: "Anyone can! You know, the king is the worst victim of the world! With the emperor's centralized power system, the country is in trouble!"

Ji Wenzhao said: "However, since ancient times, there have been Emperor Mingjun and Xiandi..."

Shen Wen interrupted and said, "It's useless! No matter how wise, ten can't stop a prodigal! What's more, most emperors are faint kings! There is a particularly virtuous emperor in a distant country, ho, godly and compassionate, special to the people Well, I also wrote books like meditations, encouraging people to pursue lofty and kindness, which is regarded as the saint among people. But he passed the throne to his son. When his son came to power, he killed thousands of people, many of them were in the past. The man who beat him by martial arts and defeated him. He let the other party hold a wooden sword, and he took a real sword and real sword himself, and experienced the thrill of the enemies who killed him with his own hands. Naturally, this country did not last."

Ji Wenzhao smiled bitterly: "After all, he is still on the throne. The prince is not ascended to the throne of the emperor, and he has the murder knife first. The killing has already been initiated."

The fourth prince said carefully: "The third prince is not such a person."

Shen Wen looked at him: "His son and his grandson must not be taken away by foreigners in the future, but the emperor of foreigners will be merciful rather than murderous."

The four princes were speechless.

Shen Wen said: "This system that combines power with the benefits of resource mobilization puts the gains and losses of power above moral and human beliefs. People will disregard power and the various benefits that follow it. All criteria..."

The four princes said: "Old Master Yan has said that those who are motivated by profit will do whatever it takes. Then you can see whether it is useful to educate people with morality. We met the county magistrate Lu along the way, as well as the county magistrate who stood by the post."

Shen Wen asked: "How can the governance of the country rely on personal cultivation of the prefect who relies on the appointment of the prefect, those who are corrupt and forming parties, have not studied the moral classics, and the prince has not read the sages?"

Ji Wenzhao said: "This is the truth that people say that desire is hard to fill."

Shen Wen said: "This kind of person who divides gruel also controls the distribution, just like the person who manages money can also spend money. The concentration of power will inevitably lead to greed."

Ji Wenzhao asked: "You know criticism, can you talk about how it can be changed"

Shen Wen looked at Ji Wenzhao: "You already know how to change it."

Ji Wenzhao was taken aback: "How did I change it?"

Shen Wen said: "Did you divide the can of wine that day, and let everyone pick it out?"

Ji Wenzhao uttered a sudden, and then remained silent for a long time.

The fourth prince thought for a while, shook his head and said, "But when running the country, how can we prevent those who can divide the wine from it?"

Shen Wen said: "It is the rule of law and the rule of the people..."

Ji Wenzhao raised his hand, not letting Shen Wen go on. After a while, he said: "I know that the rule of the people is to let the people choose, which is the bowl of wine they choose. I know that the rule of law is that someone is watching and it will not make people confused. Come……"

The fourth prince interrupted and said: "Don't let the person who divides the gruel and the person who distributes collude..."

Ji Wenzhao nodded again and again: "Yes! For example, I have agreed with you to sort out the biggest bowl, you picked it, and give me a kickback... But who will distribute it, isn't it the emperor?"

Shen Wen shook his head: "It can't be."

Ji Wenzhao slapped his fist into his palm: "That's right! The person assigned cannot be the emperor!"

Shen Wen felt that Ji Wenzhao was indeed very smart, and praised: "In this world, it is not easy for you to understand this level!"

Ji Wenzhao long sighed: "This is impossible. How can the emperor abdicate and the principal will become Cao Cao?"

Shen Wen said: "There are other countries with emperors, but they have implemented a constitutional monarchy. That is, the emperor is still in power, but he only does some charitable work, and the governance of the country is handed over to the first auxiliary. The first auxiliary is changed every few years and is elected by the cabinet. It came out. The first assistant's responsibility is to distribute the gruel, but how to divide it must be discussed in the public, specific governance, and act in accordance with the law..."

Ji Wenzhao nodded and said, "The consensus is that when we said whether I would stay at the border, everyone agreed, and you have to agree."

Shen Wen said: "Probably that's what it means."

Ji Wenzhao really shook his head: "This can't be done."

Shen Wen agreed: "It's really impossible. Whoever wants to give up power will only leave a mere name, whoever wants to be an emperor is selfish. If he wants to guarantee that kind of system, he must have laws. This conflicts with our customs. Farming civilization pays attention to relatives and human relationships. Who can really be honest and selfless? Honesty is emphasized in the law, but people do not have food and can eat people. How to speak honesty, so the people must be prosperous, and the economic lifeline must be strong. Besides, if you want to do this, many people will say that this is not in line with the way of ancestors, because I have had the habit of worshiping for many years in China, and I always bow down to someone and dominate the world. This is insight. Shortage... things like this, without a thousand years, will not die hundreds of millions of people, will not be beaten to the blood by the Western powers, will not wake up."

Ji Wenzhao frowned dejectedly: "Is it so bad? The crown prince wants to repair water conservancy. If there is no Bei Rong, the court will respond with all kinds of responses. Wouldn't it be inconvenient for everyone to negotiate back and forth?"

Shen Wenwangtian: "Whether the silver two sent by the imperial court will be exploited by layers of officials will embezzle materials, will cut corners and falsify the construction of the project, is it just a **** project that takes time, labor, and material, and the last thing is nothing"

The four princes sighed: "It can be seen that the officials must be treated before drought and flood control!"

Ji Wenzhao is desperate: "This will not return to the current system. In order to maintain the official position, the officials must protect the official position, gangs form parties, and family alliances, entanglement is difficult to understand. Orders cannot be made, and sentiments cannot be reached..."

The four princes said melancholy: "The people complained, how many of them are the emperors and the weak, and how many are the weak officials, who can tell."

Shen Wen said: "It has nothing to do with people. Among all the wrestling, the regulations on related interests are the most controllable. For example, I let you use the ship as the shipper and pay you according to the person who boarded the ship. Or did you get to the other side and the person who pressed the boat will pay you"

Ji Wenzhao laughed: "Of course the person who boarded the boat should pay for it!"

The four princes asked: "Why?"

Ji Wenzhao said in a low voice: "I will drive everyone into the water after I have collected the money, and then come back and ship another ship!"

The fourth prince was shocked: "It can be so!"

Shen Wen nodded and said: "It's really like this. It happened in history. There was a government...that did what the court did, and it turned out that many people on the ship died. After changing the payment method, people died. The ship There is no change, and the crew has not changed, but the result has changed. In this, interest is an invisible hand."

Ji Wenzhao slapped his hands and said: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years! I have read many books, and I have never read this kind of truth!"

The four princes said to Shen Wen: "You know so much, you can become an emperor."

Shen Wen wrinkled his nose: "What annoys me most is the emperor! What do you say to him, please serve the country for the people, for the future of China, give up your power, don't marry so many wives, don't live in hundreds of houses, don't eat every meal Hundred dishes, don’t give the person you like Gao Juehou, live like a commoner, but when there is a disaster, go to comfort the people in need, give them hope and encourage you to think which emperor wants to hear this and want to be an emperor People, don’t I have the idea of ​​taking advantage of the world in my heart to say these crazy things, do I want to die?"

The fourth prince said: "Actually, the third prince is outspoken, maybe he will agree with you!"

Shen Wen shook his hand: "I don't believe it. He agreed for a while, and he couldn't agree to the whole life! No one can resist the temptation of extreme power! Think about it, all people are slaves to you, saying good things to you, Don’t you like it? You have countless treasures in the world. You can do whatever you want. Everyone will always give you good things from all over the world. Don’t you feel happy that in the early Han Dynasty, there were only a dozen court ladies, but later, just a few Thousands of people. Being an emperor, generations are more luxurious and lustful. This is actually natural. You can have thousands of beautiful women to enjoy, and you are not tempted."

The four princes stammered: "No...actually...those...nothing..."

Shen Wen asked: "What do you think is interesting?"

The four princes wanted to say, I already have enough treasures, I have silk satin, someone treats me well, I have the most beautiful woman... I don’t want too much, he is afraid of being accused by Shen Wen, and replied. : "I just thought...someone played chess with me."

Shen Wen twitched the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, Ji Wenzhao, who frowned and meditated, said: "Actually, if the emperor and his ministers are of the same mind, you can still try to start. After all, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you really start to change, one day and one night will be impossible. Ten years, forty years is not enough. I started to teach new system concepts as a child, and let two or three generations change their minds. Can't this dynasty change?"

Shen Wen said: "Official Ji, you are too optimistic. How many people here are illiterate, how many people depend on their families or families to survive, how to educate people, how to discuss from the crowd. If you want the people to choose talented people, then you will. Some people take money to bribe the people in order to be elected. If you want officials to abide by the law, you must have a complete law and independent supervision. However, those who want to go to the camp every day will find ways to bribe and collude and let the supervision People are in the same way, and the regulatory agencies are in vain...These things affect the whole body. I don't even bother to think about it!"

Ji Wenzhao said: "So women can't do anything! Fear of danger, fear of danger, timid and fearful! I have to try it! If you have time to tell me about these things about the House and cabinet, I really want to be an official in the future. , You have to be a big one! Once you have the position of the prime minister, I will reform!" He saw that he had become the prime minister, so he was very confident.

The four princes particularly encouraged and said: "Xiu Ming is talented, and he will definitely succeed!"

Shen Wen flattened his mouth disapprovingly, and Ji Wenzhao eagerly said: "I have to do what I like, and win the emperor's trust first!" He asked the four princes: "Does the three princes like what he likes to play chess?"

The fourth prince shook his head: "No, he...I heard that he likes swords, you can find some treasures and swords for him, he will like it."

Ji Wenzhao touched his chin: "Don't tell me, I really read a book about swords, called the Universe Weapon Book, I can tell you about it, you tell me what the three princes might like, and I'll let them go. Copy one or two..."

Shen Wen was not interested in Ji Wenzhao's political enthusiasm, and jumped out of the car to help Su Wanniang cook.

In fact, the four princes had said in Shen Wen's mind once, and didn't bother to think about it any more, he was more willing to go to Su Wanniang. This kind of arduous task of changing the world is really not what people like him want to do. But Ji Wenzhao was not afraid of hardships and began to talk about his grand idea. As a chess racket, he was worthy of Ji Daguo player, and he often played chess with him. At this time, he had to borrow an ear.

------------------

In the Pingyuanhou mansion in the capital, Pingyuanhou frowned slightly after reading several secret letters repeatedly. After Zhang Yunzheng and the others entered the affected area, they disappeared. Ping Yuan Hou regretted not establishing the information point early, otherwise he would probably know their movements at this time. But he also knows that in the years of famine, disasters will be raging, and where can we guarantee that the transmission of information has a stronghold, it cannot be preserved...

Ping Yuanhou sighed, then picked up another piece of paper, which was written by Zhang Yunming, and said that he was coming back.

This is another thing that made Ping Yuanhou angry: Zhang Yunming just opened his mouth and said without asking whether he agreed! The emperor’s eyes are all around the mansion, and those who make clear and secret whistles are waiting for his own son to cast the net. If it's okay, what did he do when he came back! Ping Yuan Hou suspected that Zhang Yunming had heard the news that the five princesses became a monk. Although Zhang Yunming doesn't know how mature and sophisticated than Zhang Yunzheng, he is still a young man, and probably wants to come back to see the five princesses...

Ping Yuan Hou shook his head, preparing to send someone a letter to Zhang Yunming, not allowing him to return to Beijing!

He almost handled the matter, and when it was time for dinner, Ping Yuan Hou went to have a meal with Li's. Li, Zhang Yunjin and Zhang Yunzhao were already waiting at the table. Since Miss Shen came here, Zhang Yunjin has eaten and slept well and recovered health. Zhang Yunzhao blushed after practicing martial arts and looked stronger than before.

After the two children saw the gift, people began to serve the dishes. Zhang Yunzhao stared at the dishes, obviously hungry. I eagerly waited for Hou Pingyuan to get down to the chopsticks so he could start eating.

Li said to Zhang Yunzhao, "My son, you can't stare like that."

Zhang Yunjin usually ate by herself in the yard. Li was afraid that she would not taste good, so she asked her to come over and eat under her nose. Hearing what her mother said, Zhang Yunjin smiled and looked at Zhang Yunzhao: "That's right, it doesn't look like a smirk."

Speaking of calling flowers, Ping Yuan Hou thought that Zhang Yunzheng was in the disaster area now. The clothes he prepared were in the style of refugees, and they must be wandering like flowers...for a while.

Li glanced at Ping Yuan Hou, two couples of more than 20 years, both have telepathy, and she also began to feel melancholy.

After the meal, Li found a time for no one and asked Ping Yuanhou: "The two...what's the news?"

Ping Yuanhou didn't want Li to worry, and replied, "Well, it's okay..." He saw Li's fingers tightening while pinching the silk. Ping Yuan Hou suddenly noticed the wrinkles in the corners of Li's eyes. It turned out that the beautiful tight face was a little loose, and his chest was a little bit sentimental. He wanted to make Li very happy, so he said, "Dalang, I want to come back... "

Li's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really!" But then she quickly said, "No! Go and let people tell him, don't come back! It's not safe here!" After she finished, there were tears in her eyes. .

Although Li's tears have not rarely been seen in recent years, Ping Yuanhou always couldn't wait to take it lightly, and said impulsively: "It's okay, I will arrange it." He found a reason in his heart and said, Zhang Yunming. The kind of person who violates yang and yin probably won't listen to himself. Besides, he is already on the road at this time. When the time comes, he will arrange for someone to stop Zhang Yunming outside the capital, and take him to one of Li's Zhuangzi, as long as he doesn't enter the city.

Instead of being happy, Li cried: "If you really want to come back, or don't come back... I'm afraid..."

Hou Ping Yuan consoled him again and again: "Don't let him enter the city, only outside the city. You have so many Zhuangzi, they can't handle each one."

Li stopped crying and muttered: "I have to prepare something for him..."

Ping Yuan Hou hurriedly said: "Nothing is needed."

Li began to yearn: "I haven't seen him for so long, do you think he will grow taller like that kid"

Ping Yuan Hou twitched his lips: "He has grown up a long time ago, unlike that kid!"

Speaking of Zhang Yunzheng, Li was worried again: "I have always been a little uncomfortable lately, and I remember him very much. The kid said straightforwardly, he loved to offend people. This time he went out, Da Lang did not follow him, he Don’t fight with people on the road, right?"

Ping Yuan Hou knew that Zhang Yunzheng had gone with the second young lady from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Seeing Zhang Yunzheng's careful preparation for this journey, the boy probably wouldn't be violent in front of the girl, so he chose to comfort Li with words: " He is accompanied by a very stable person, so he shouldn't let him get into trouble."

Li was surprised: "It's true that he doesn't even listen to you, but someone can prevent him from getting into trouble."

Ping Yuan Hou was also a little unbalanced, coughed and said, "This little bastard, grow up."

Li said: "As long as he can be safe, we will thank them when we look back."

Ping Yuan Hou answered vaguely.

--------------------------

The prince recently felt the coldness from the court.

In the past, whenever he had a suggestion, there would always be a civil servant from Lu's side to help him make peace. When he is picky about the three princes, there will be people over there who will help. But now, when he speaks, there is no one from behind! The house of the Great Highness looked extremely empty, and the prince had the illusion that he was standing in front of everyone.

One day or two, he thought it was accidental, but three days later, he knew that this was Lu's deliberately neglecting himself!

The prince felt angry from the bottom of his heart: What are you guys! How dare to treat this palace like this! This palace will be the emperor in the future! You can kill all of you! But then, he was controlled by fear.

After speaking again and being unaccepted, the prince was silent in the court. And the three princes said as always: "Father, now the disaster is serious and the people are displaced. It happens to be able to recruit refugees and form reserve soldiers..."

In the past, the prince’s civil servants would jump out and say: The Three Highnesses are very poor. If the refugees are assembled, it would be a big disaster...

But now, the upward voice said: "His Royal Highness's words are reasonable..." "It is rumored that Chen Bing on the border of Beirong, this matter should not be underestimated..."

After talking about this, someone unexpectedly said: "His Royal Highness the Three Princes have grown old. The male elder should be married and the female elder should be married. You must not violate the custom. It is time to discuss the marriage..."

Cold sweat ran down from the prince's armpits. For a moment, his heart beats extremely fast, and he felt his face start to get hot, but then, his heart beats slowly, and his whole body was cold, and he shivered unconsciously.

After the dynasty, he returned to the East Palace, and finally summoned a few of his confidantes and dismissed the suspicious eunuchs. The prince asked in a low voice, "What is going on! Why did anyone mention the marriage of the three princes!" If the third prince married a wife and had children...

One person finally plucked up the courage and said: "A month ago, the third prince Shen of the Zhenbei Houfu went out of the city with the third prince. Some people heard that they said that the third prince had confirmed the marriage with Miss Shen of the Zhenbei Houfu. Therefore, there is Rumor has it that someone will write to the emperor to allow him to marry..."

The prince slapped the table: "Shameless! They dare to respond to him like this!"

An staff member hurriedly comforted: "His Royal Highness is not anxious. Right now, the emperor does not want the third prince to marry Miss Shen, lest the three princes become bigger and cannot control it. Therefore, if the third prince really recognizes Miss Shen, his Highness does not have to worry about it. , The emperor will definitely not agree."

The prince grasped the boxing case: "Then he had better keep his heart so hard! Don't change his mind!"

Thinking of Chen Bing on the border, the prince asked: "Why hasn't there been a letter from the north, what happened to the four princesses, how many people have you sent?"

The staff member said: "There are already seven groups of people."

There was a very bad feeling in the Prince's heart, but there was another kind of excitement faintly.

An staff member whispered: "Our messengers have not returned, is it possible that something went wrong?"

Another staff member said: "If something goes wrong, it proves that Bei Rong is indeed unruly, but in that case, the four princesses..."

The prince felt bitterness and hope pouring into his heart at the same time. He wanted to cry and laugh. It took a long time before he said: "Send people again, ten days apart, and keep sending them until someone comes back!"

Everyone seemed to be quiet for a moment, and one of the staff members asked carefully: "His Royal Highness, can you rebuild the relationship with the prince?"

The prince asked anxiously: "What's wrong!"
