At night, in the palace, the emperor held two booklets, "Do you suspect that these two merchants are related to the Zhang family?"

Shi Qingdao: "Last time the woman arrested by Mr. Zhou's grandson was investigating the disappearance of the merchant. I have been investigating all the time. The merchant's business, business contacts, and household registration, I remember clearly. The two households registered It is a coincidence that merchants have similar operations, and they are similar again and again, so I think it can be investigated."

Shi Qing knew that the Zhang clan that the emperor was eager to investigate and then disappeared, even though it was still King Qi's investigation on the surface, they still had to rely on spies secretly.

The emperor was very satisfied with Shi Qing, "You send someone to investigate."

Shi Qing took the order and took back the booklet, "Yes, I will definitely check it out."

The emperor waited for Shi Qing to leave, and fell into deep thought. The last time Zhou Shuren's grandson found traces of the Zhang family by accident, he wondered whether the Zhang family would become merchants. Now that Shi Qing found out, it is very There are eight or nine.

The emperor's eyes were cold, and he was really willing to do so. Also, the Zhang family is not as proud and upright as the Rong family.

Seeing the crown prince approaching, the emperor restrained the coldness in his eyes and asked, "You said the day before yesterday that both the crown prince and your side concubine had their natal families to participate in this year's Spring Festival?"

Prince, "Yes, the concubine's cousin failed the exam last time, and will continue to participate this year. Liu's younger brother participated in Chunwei for the first time this year, and Ran's nephew also participated."

As for the backyard, the crown prince also pays a lot of attention to it. If he has the ability, he will use it naturally. If he has no ability, he will not be promoted. However, Liu's younger brother is indeed good.

The emperor hummed, "This year's competition is quite fierce. I read the list sent by the states, and I don't know if Zhou Shuren's fourth son will be as competitive as his brother."

The prince smiled, "We'll know when the results come out."

The emperor hummed and thought of Yuyan. After the year, he went out of the palace and met Yuyan several times. Every time, Yuyan raised an heir. The emperor knew what Yuyan was thinking. Yuyan was interested in seeing Zhou Shuren's offspring prosper. adopted.

It's just Zhou Shuren's son, Zhou Shuren won't adopt him, even if he is white, he is the eldest son, the eldest son adopts, and the eldest grandson who has worked so hard to cultivate is also an adult. Yu Xuan knows it well, and has mentioned Zhou Shuren's second grandson many times.

In the Zhou family, Zhou Shuren didn't know that his grandson was being missed. Zhou Shuren was tired all day and was enjoying his wife's head massage.

Zhulan first talked about the affairs of the house, and then mentioned, "Grandpa's body collapsed after the year, and he was able to hold on only by his energy."

Zhou Shuren sighed very much, who would have thought that in just two years, the Duke's Mansion would become like this, "The old Duke wants to survive until the crown prince succeeds."

"However, there are losses and gains. Now the Duke's Mansion seems to be going downhill, but it also reassures the emperor and the prince."

Zhou Shuren also agreed that the crown prince is no less suspicious than the emperor. Now that the Duke's mansion is weak, the crown prince will worry about it when he ascends the throne, and it will be fine when the next generation rises.

It's just that Zhou Shuren paused, and the next generation just caught up with the prince's sons to grow up.

Zhulan said again: "I heard my daughter came back from the palace and said that the empress wanted Ning Zhiqi's second son, Ning Yang, to be a companion to the prince's eldest son, but the Duke refused."

Zhou Shuren, "All right, the Queen is thinking about the Duke's Mansion, and the Duke doesn't want to get involved."

Zhulan smiled, "Xuehan said that the old Duke has been carefully teaching his great-grandchildren these days."

Zhou Shuren said in his heart that the old man is far-sighted, so it is right not to participate, and it is not easy to be a companion, "The emperor is considered to have a long life, and I think the prince also has a long life. The eldest son of the prince is different from the prince. The emperor married late, so The prince is not very old, but the eldest son of the prince is eight years old this year, no, it has passed the new year, and now he is nine years old, if the prince has a long life."

Zhou Shuren didn't say the rest, but he made it clear that even if the crown prince's eldest son becomes the crown prince, the situation is very different from the prince's. The situation is different, and the future will be very different.

Now the crown prince can successfully ascend the throne, it is due to many factors, of course the most important point,

The emperor got married late, and the prince is really not too old. If the emperor got married early and the prince was old, the prince might not be able to keep his current mentality.

Zhulan paused her hand, "Besides, the prince has quite a lot of heirs, so the future is really uncertain. I remember you said that the prince is more ambitious than the emperor."

The current emperor is already a Mingjun, and the crown prince has great ambitions to surpass him. It's okay now, but in the future, no one can say for sure. Power is too charming.

Zhou Shuren held his daughter-in-law's hand, "I can feel that the prince has his eyes on me. He believes that I can help him realize his ambition. Moreover, the prince intends for me to teach his eldest son."

This is what he is most afraid of. If he really teaches the eldest son of the prince, he will be the mentor of the eldest son of the prince. Although he probably won't see which son of the prince succeeds to the throne, he is afraid. His descendants belonged to the eldest son group.

The emperor's favor can be given to you, but he can also take it back. He is afraid of being angered. If the future eldest son successfully succeeds to the throne, everything is easy to talk about. The Zhou family is rich and prosperous, but they did not succeed. It's his fault, he must blame him for not teaching well, the Zhou family must be unlucky!

Zhulan was taken aback, "What did the prince tell you?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "I didn't say it, I can also feel it. Didn't the princess mention me when my daughter went to the prince's mansion years ago, and with Liu side concubine's actions, I have an idea in my heart."

What Zhou Shuren can think of, Zhulan can also think of, the emperor is ruthless, and the most used skill is to vent his anger, "You have to think of a way."

Now that the emperor has not yet taken the throne, the emperor has no such intentions, so the crown prince ascended the throne and directly ordered it?

Zhou Shuren patted the center of his eyebrows, "I think my headaches will be fine in the future, what do you think?"

Zhulan, "...Thank you for thinking about it."

Zhou Shuren said quietly: "I thought that the imperial power would change, and with the merits and the relationship with the emperor, I thought I would win, but now I realize that there are pitfalls everywhere."

Zhulan pursed her lips, "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "It's okay, no hard work."

He still has his own son to protect and grow up, and he has to work hard for his own son.

Chunwei's exam was over soon, Zhulan went to pick up Changzhi in person, Zhulan was in the carriage, Su Xuan couldn't wait to get out of the carriage.

The door opened, and the younger generations of the Zhou clan came out one after another, followed by Changzhi.

Seeing her husband's haggard appearance, Su Xuan was so distressed that she hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "But what's wrong?"

Changzhi exhaled, "I'm still doing it, but now I'm so hungry that I want to sleep."

Su Xuan, "Mother is here too, let's go home and rest."

When Changzhi heard that his mother was coming, "Hurry up, don't keep your mother waiting."

Zhulan had already talked to a few young people, and knowing that they were still healthy, she hurriedly let them get into the carriage to rest.

Changzhi got on the carriage, Zhulan handed over hot tea, "Have a cup of hot tea to warm up your body."

Changzhi licked his lower lip, drank hot tea, and said after a while, "Mother will miss it."

Zhulan, "Mother is happy to see you doing well."

Her family's luck is good, and she passed the exam safely. Did she know that this year, some people were carried out halfway through the exam.

Changzhi thought for a while and said, "Mother, the place next to me is the younger brother of Concubine Liu of the Prince's Mansion."

Now that Zhulan heard the Prince's Mansion, she raised her heart, "Is there a problem?"

Changzhi shook his head, "There is no problem, but my son has heard of him, and he is also the hottest player this year."
