Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Xu Miaoyun walked lightly, and as soon as she stepped into the East Palace, her beautiful eyes looked around busily.

The look in his eyes was like that of a deer suddenly disturbed in the jungle, full of panic and helplessness, and revealing deep uneasiness.

The moment she saw Zhu Gang, she was like a drowning person seeing a floating log, and she hurried to his side.

The slender hand grabbed the other's sleeve, the movement was urgent and a little coquettish.

Xu Miaoyun was breathing slightly, looking panicked, and even her words were trembling.

"My lord, this is incredible!
Your Majesty and the Queen have summoned all the concubines in the palace today to discuss the person who will be in charge of the harem.

I thought we could discuss it calmly and come to a conclusion, but I didn't expect that everything would go completely haywire as soon as this thing started."

She paused, as if she was still frightened as she recalled the chaotic scene.

Then Xu Miaoyun continued, "The ladies were so arguing that they refused to give in to each other. The scene was like boiling water, and it was almost a mess.

Normally, I seldom interact with them, and I am completely clueless about the ins and outs of the harem, so I have no idea what to do.

That’s why I hurried to find my husband, please give me some advice.”

Xu Miaoyun's heart was in turmoil at the moment, just like fifteen buckets of water being drawn.

Worry was like a heavy stone, pressing down on her and making it hard for her to breathe.

As the daughter of Xu Da, Duke of Wei, Xu Miaoyun is well aware that changes in the power structure of the royal harem may have a ripple effect at any time and affect the situation in the court.

As her husband is the Prince of Jin, every move he makes is watched closely.

If you stand on the wrong side in this matter, the consequences will be disastrous.

When Zhu Gang heard what Xu Miaoyun said, his heart suddenly tightened.

He knew clearly in his mind that the selection of the person in charge of the harem was not as simple as it seemed.

In fact, various forces are secretly competing behind the scenes. This not only concerns the right to speak on many affairs of the harem in the future, but will also indirectly have a significant impact on the situation in the court.

It was like an invisible net that enveloped everyone.

Zhu Gang frowned slightly and thought for a moment.

It was as if a picture scroll was slowly unfolding in his mind, with the faces and past of the concubines in each palace emerging one by one.

Zhu Gang first thought of Concubine Hu Chong's past, and his eyes narrowed unconsciously.

The look in his eyes instantly became deep, like a deep pool under the night sky, revealing a mysterious light.

Zhu Gang turned to look at Xu Miaoyun, his expression becoming increasingly serious.

He lowered his voice and said, "The sixth son's mother, Concubine Hu Chong, has a deep connection with our father.

She and her father are from the same hometown. They have known each other since childhood. She has heard some stories about them that others don't know.

Besides, Concubine Hu Chong has quite a bit of experience in the harem.

Over the years, we have experienced many ups and downs.

She is very smooth in dealing with people. In my opinion, she is quite competitive in the fight for the position of head of the harem."

As Zhu Gang spoke, he carefully analyzed the situations of the concubines in each palace.

At this moment, he was like a calculating chess player, constantly deducing various possible changes in the game in his mind.

Thinking about what advantages and disadvantages would it bring to his family if Concubine Hu Chong came to power?
If other concubines came to power, what different impact would it have?
However, Zhu Gang remained calm on the surface, his face still looking calm, not wanting others to easily see through his thoughts.

Just like a shrewd fox, he hides his thoughts deeply.

After all, the imperial palace is full of intrigues and one has to be careful in everything.

Just one wrong step and everything will be lost.

As the King of Jin, he must weigh the pros and cons carefully.

He strived to gain more favorable situations for himself and his elder brother Zhu Biao in this invisible battle.

After all, the two brothers share the same fate, and their fates have long been closely linked.

Xu Miaoyun nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes moving. Then she thought of the story in history, tilted her head, and said thoughtfully: "My husband, I remember that the reason why Wang Zhi became the queen during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han was because of many opportunities and she knew how to seize them.

But in our Ming Dynasty, I don’t know if Concubine Hu Chong has such help.”

Xu Miaoyun was full of curiosity about the affairs of the harem, and that curiosity was like a kitten, constantly scratching her in her heart.

But Xu Miaoyun was well aware of the complexity of the matter, and could only draw analogies through these historical stories, hoping to find some clues.

It's like a person groping in the dark, trying to grasp a ray of light.

She looked at Zhu Gang's thoughtful expression and felt a little worried.

Xu Miaoyun was worried that her words were too childish and would not only be of no help but would cause more trouble. However, she really wanted to share her husband's worries.

This contradictory feeling was intertwined in her heart.

It was like a piece of dough twisted into a rope, making her feel entangled.

Zhu Gang looked around with deep eyes and vigilantly to make sure no one was paying attention to them.

Then he slowly leaned close to Xu Miaoyun's ear and whispered, "Indeed, we don't have someone like Princess Guantao to help us.

But this matter is still hard to say.

If the person in charge of the harem is not chosen properly, the reception of the delegation will probably be implicated as well.

After all, the harem must be well organized so that we can prepare for the reception thoroughly."

Zhu Gang knew clearly that this matter was a complex one.

It's like a tightly connected chain. If you're not careful you'll get into trouble. You must be careful.

Just like a person walking on thin ice, every step is cautious.

He gently held Xu Miaoyun's hand, and the warmth of his palm conveyed a sense of soothing power.

It seemed like he was comforting her, but also like he was cheering himself up.

At this moment, the couple seemed to be at the center of the vortex of the royal turmoil.

We can only rely on each other and cope with it together.

Just like a small boat drifting in the strong wind and huge waves, only by holding on to each other can we avoid being drowned.

As he spoke, Zhu Gang couldn't help but think of the importance of Chu and the Chu Palace where Zhu Zhen was enfeoffed.

He looked into the distance, as if he could penetrate the barriers of space and see the Prince of Chu's Palace located on the southern foot of Gaoguan Mountain in Wuchang.

"Miaoyun, did you know that the Prince of Chu's Palace was built on a smaller scale based on the Yingtian Palace?

It looks magnificent from a distance.

It is like a giant beast entrenched in the mountains, exuding a majestic and solemn aura. ”

Zhu Gang said slowly: "It covers a vast area and is large in scale.

It is 2 miles wide from east to west and 4 miles long from north to south, covering an area of ​​8 square miles.

Today, the area it covers is equivalent to half of the city of Wuchang.

It seems like a city within a city within the city of Wuchang, a world of its own.

It took nine years to build, and it contains many halls and houses.

The houses are arranged in an orderly manner, like stars in the night sky.

The surrounding area was built with stones to form a city, which was twenty-nine feet high.

The city wall was tall and solid, like a solid wall of iron and steel guarding the peace of the palace.

My father built it in the hope that the King of Chu could guard the Chu land and protect the safety of Yingtian Prefecture.

This shows that the importance of the sixth brother and his mother in the royal family is like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, and they play a pivotal role in the royal territory. "(End of this chapter)
