Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

"Brother Imperial, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, you better not have any ideas about the daughter of the Xu family. I am worried that if the second sister knows my identity, will she disagree with me and Jingxian? The second sister is I hate these intrigues. Her love for Jingxian is extraordinary." Mingyu expressed his troubles.

Li Mingrui laughed loudly, "This is your own problem. If you want to embrace a beautiful woman, you have to pay a price. I have promised you that I will not arrange a side room for you. Your marriage is entirely your own decision. I think so. Jinghan has nothing to be picky about.”

Mingyu has stayed in the palace long enough. Now that the matter has been resolved, he can go back and talk to Wenhan and the others with peace of mind. "By the way, Brother Huang, how many days do you plan to lock up Lin Zixuan? Don't let it take too long. The wedding date has already been set. Don't delay the second sister's wedding. You also know that it is difficult for her to marry someone. It's easy. Someone caused trouble last time, and Wanrou messed it up again, alas." Mingyu shook his head and sympathized with Jinghan.

"For Jinghan's sake, I'll just lock him up for three days. It's not good if I lock him in during the day and let him out at night, right? You have to save face for me in front of all the officials, right? Okay. Now, you can go to the prison to see him and have him take good care of him. I also want to sharpen his spirit, otherwise, what kind of pride would he have become if he got the third grade?" Li Mingrui thought naturally. He was still a little unwilling, but as a monarch, his responsibility to the court and the country overcame his love for Jinghan.

Mingyu bowed and saluted, "Brother Emperor, I really admire your brother's mind for being able to give up a beautiful woman for the sake of a good minister. If it had been another person, Lin Zixuan would have died. Brother Emperor, how could he be so capable? With great ambition, he will surely become a wise king in the future.”

"Okay, no need to compliment me here, I just understand Jinghan's personality. If I really kill Lin Zixuan and force Jinghan to marry into the palace, I'm afraid she can kill me to avenge Lin Zixuan, and then commit suicide. She is such a fierce woman, no matter how happy she is on weekdays, if something happens, no one can stop her madness." Li Mingrui laughed, for such a woman, it would be more appropriate to be friends. . "Okay, it's getting late. You should go back home quickly. I'm thinking that Xu Wenhan and Yue Pengcheng are worried."

Mingyu nodded, then came out of the imperial study, left the palace and headed straight for the other courtyard.

In the other courtyard, Wen Han and Peng Cheng were like ants on a hot pot, anxious. "I don't know if Mingyu has the ability to rescue Zixuan. What do you think is going on with this emperor? Why did he suddenly think of a marriage?" Wenhan looked at the door and said anxiously.

"The emperor's heart is unpredictable. Who knows what the emperor is thinking? It is said that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and it is true. This is our first day, but Zixuan was inexplicably thrown into the sky prison. You said This is a big deal, ugh." Pengcheng was also very anxious, but the two of them couldn't solve the matter at all, so they could only worry about it.

The two of them just stared at the door, waiting anxiously. Suddenly they saw a bright light outside, and then the sound of footsteps came. Both of them couldn't sit still anymore, so they stood up and walked out, and met Mingyu head-on.

"Mingyu, you're back, how are you?" Wenhan asked.

"Brother, brother-in-law, don't worry, the matter has been figured out. It was the fifth princess who took a fancy to my second brother-in-law, and then asked the emperor to decree the marriage. It's a coincidence, you go to Baiyun Temple, How can the second brother-in-law save the fifth princess? Isn't it a good thing?" Mingyu said with a smile.

"Fifth Princess? Where did such a Fifth Princess come from? We didn't even see a woman that day? Could it be that the person Zixuan grabbed was a woman?" Wen Han thought about what happened that day and then asked .

"Isn't that right? This fifth princess is a naughty one. She likes to disguise herself as a man and go out to fool around. She happened to be saved by her second brother-in-law. When the banquet was given in the imperial garden, she saw her second brother-in-law again and learned that he was the number one scholar. So I started thinking about marrying my second brother-in-law." Mingyu shook his head, feeling helpless.

"What happened to Zixuan?" Pengcheng couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay. The emperor cherishes his second brother-in-law's talent and knowledge and said that he will not force him to marry the princess. However, this refutes the emperor's face in public, and imprisonment is inevitable. He will be released in three days. "Mingyu couldn't bear to disappoint them, so he told the result directly.

As soon as these words came out, Wen Han and Peng Cheng both breathed a sigh of relief, "That's the case, then we can rest assured." The two sat down on the chairs and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

"Before I came back just now, I went to the Tianlao to see my second brother-in-law. He was fine and didn't suffer much. I've told the people inside and asked them to take good care of my second brother-in-law. He will be fine. Three days later , I will go and rescue the second brother-in-law myself." Mingyu quickly comforted him after seeing their situation.

Wenhan and Pengcheng finally felt relieved. Wenhan looked at Mingyu and asked. "Mingyu, tell the truth, who are you? Why do you appear in the Royal Garden, and can you enter the palace to inquire about Zixuan? Even the prison is free to come and go? Who are you?"

Mingyu sighed, "Brother, it's not that I want to hide it from you, but I really have no choice. The surname Li is a royal surname, and I am the current Prince Fu. I'm just afraid that you won't agree if you find out. Jingxian is married to me, so she has been hiding it for a few days. In order to save my second brother-in-law, my identity will be exposed sooner or later. "

Wen and Han were stunned by the news. Everything that happened today made them feel incredible. "I heard that there is only one prince in the capital, and he is the younger brother of the current emperor's mother. In other words, the young master Li back then is the current emperor, right?" Wen Han has not met Li Mingrui, but only heard that he Family members have said so.

"Yes, that's my brother. The emperor and I were both born to the queen, but my mother was weak. After giving birth to me, she stayed on the sickbed and passed away when I was five years old. My brother and I depended on each other. , so I called him eldest brother. In fact, the emperor's brother was the third son of the late emperor, and there were two princes above him. The battle for the throne was extremely dangerous. At that time, the emperor's brother was ordered to go to the northeast, but he did not expect to be intercepted and killed by the eldest prince. Only then was the second sister discovered and saved his life. When the emperor returned to Beijing, he immediately started to fight back, but I was young and he was afraid that I would be assassinated, so he sent me to the mountain. There was a pause before continuing.

"This is what happened in the past. Brother, we have no intention of hiding it. It's just that the emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and we are all enemies overtly and covertly. At that time, the emperor sent people to protect them secretly at Shenchangzi. Later, he sent Mr. Wu, Mr. Han, and Qi Yunfei came over to protect your family. Otherwise, how could Mr. Wu have the courage to confront the Minister of Household Affairs? "Mingyu told all the past things.

"If you say so, then the emperor has already known our identities, right? Then why did he arrest Zixuan?" Pengcheng felt that there was something fishy in this.

After hearing this, Mingyu couldn't help coughing twice, "Brother-in-law, it's okay for you to know this matter well, why bother asking me again. Brother Huang is a wise master, but he is also a man. Some things, You have to let him vent. Otherwise, how will the king and his ministers get along in the future?"

Wenhan and Pengcheng looked at each other and remembered that the old man had mentioned that Mr. Li had come to the house before and talked about something with Jinghan. Wen Han understood and was shocked, thinking that Dao Zixuan was really lucky. "Then, for what reason will Zixuan be released in three days?"

"Well, you'll find out after you wait." Mingyu smiled and said everything, but it didn't mean anything at all.

On the morning of March 19th, the emperor sat in the main hall. "A few days ago, I had a dream. In the dream, I thought that an immortal said to me that I still have a great kindness that I have yet to repay. I woke up in the morning and thought about it carefully. Sure enough, this happened. The year before last, I was ordered to go to the Northeast, but I was intercepted and almost killed in the wilderness. Fortunately, I met a peasant girl who took me home. Later, I was saved by the help of the whole family and the help of doctors. My life. I have to repay such a great kindness, but I am not sure how to repay this kindness. There is nothing important to do today, so I will discuss how to repay my kindness. "

All the civil and military officials in the dynasty were a little puzzled. Whether or not you repay your kindness is your business, the emperor. Why do you still need to discuss it with everyone? As for the attack on the emperor the year before last, some close officials knew about it. Two years later, the emperor finally mentioned it, what was it for?

A man came forward and said, "According to your Majesty's wishes, the woman should be the first to be rescued. But I don't know whether this woman is married or not. If she is not married yet, your Majesty can find a man with good looks and good conduct for her." Give that woman some more dowry. As a woman, marrying a good husband is the most important thing." The person who spoke was none other than Mingyu. Normally he doesn't have to go to morning court, but today is a special day and he has to come.

"This girl is engaged, but not yet married," the emperor replied.

"Then His Majesty will give the woman a title, reward her with some dowry, and let her marry in style. If her husband is a mature man, he can be promoted." Mingyu continued to give ideas.

Some of the ministers next to them understood a little bit in their hearts that the emperor and Prince Fu were singing a double act, but they didn't know what the purpose was. Some people were astute and stood up at this moment, "Your Majesty, what Prince Fu said is true. It's just a title. It just sounds nice. Give some gold, silver and jewelry to let the emperor's benefactor marry in glory. This is already a great deal." It’s a blessing.”
