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

Chapter 606: College Reform and Resettlement of Jiang Yongming’s Widow, Fan

There was a gentle smile on Xu Miaoyun's lips, and her beautiful eyes were full of intelligence.

She gently held Zhu Gang's hand and said softly, "My husband, you protected the mother and son of the Fan family, which is a righteous act.

This is not only in line with morality, but also consistent with filial piety.

If my mother knew that my husband was so kind, she would definitely be pleased with him and might even praise his kindness. "

Zhu Gang listened quietly to Xu Miaoyun's analysis, and his originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

A glimmer of hope also shone in his eyes, as if he had finally found a ray of light in the endless darkness.

At this time, Zhu Gang nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.

He carefully considered the pros and cons and feasibility, and the concerns in his mind gradually dissipated like the morning mist.

After a moment, Zhu Gang felt that the clouds and mist in front of his eyes had dissipated and the sky was bright. A long-lost smile appeared on his face involuntarily, and there was a hint of relief and joy in that smile.

He looked at Xu Miaoyun, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude.

"Miaoyun, you are indeed a famous female student in Yingtian Prefecture!
Not only is he extremely intelligent, but he also has a penetrating and insightful analysis of things.

It is my blessing to have you by my side.

Tomorrow I will go to the palace and report this matter to my father. I think everything will go smoothly."

After deciding to enter the palace the next day, Zhu Gang ordered his subordinates to prepare the memorial carefully that night.

He personally considered every word over and over again, striving to ensure that every word could accurately convey his intentions and write the memorial to perfection.

Zhu Gang then selected several capable guards, called them to his side, and solemnly warned them: "This matter is of great importance, you must be careful and cautious, and not slack off in the slightest.

Tomorrow, follow me into the palace and be sure to pay attention to your surroundings to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

But just when Zhu Gang was busy, rumors about Fan's mother and son suddenly spread in the palace.

Those unbearable words spread quickly throughout Prince Jin's mansion like a gust of cold wind.

Some even said that Fan had an unusual relationship with the palace. This news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves and causing Zhu Gang to become increasingly worried.

His face was as dark as ink, his fists were clenched, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.

There was a flash of anger in Zhu Gang's eyes, like an enraged lion.

He knew very well that these rumors must have been spread by those who wanted to stop him from protecting the Fan family.

If it is not contained in time, not only will the lives of Fan's mother and son be in jeopardy, but the Prince of Jin's Mansion will also face a huge storm.

It might even affect Zhu Gang's plan to enter the palace to meet the emperor, making all his previous efforts go to waste.

At the same time, Zhu Chong, who was far away in Fengyang Prefecture, also learned about this from the palace.

Zhu Chong was fully aware of the seriousness of the matter and was filled with worry.

He was afraid that his third brother Zhu Gang would handle the matter improperly and put the royal family at the center of public opinion.

In addition, the two brothers had a deep relationship, and Zhu Chong was extremely anxious, so he hurriedly asked his father for instructions.

After receiving the imperial edict, Zhu Chong personally rode a fast horse and rushed to the Prince of Jin's Mansion overnight.

Zhu Chong rode non-stop along the way, with only one thought in his mind.

That is to get to the third brother as soon as possible and help him solve the problem.

Just as Zhu Gang was racking his brains over how to deal with these rumors, Zhu Chong arrived at the Prince of Jin's Mansion at daybreak.

I saw him walking into the mansion in a hurry with a serious expression on his face.

After seeing Zhu Gang, Zhu Chong said anxiously: "Third brother, these rumors are coming with great force, you must not take them lightly.

This not only concerns the reputation of Fan's mother and son and your palace, but will also affect the face of the royal family.

Father takes this very seriously and has specially ordered me to come and assist you in handling this matter."

Zhu Gang sighed, his face full of worry. "Second brother, I am very worried about this matter.

Now that rumors are spreading, if they are not handled properly, I am afraid it will cause an uproar. I really don’t know what to do.”

Zhu Chong frowned slightly, stepped forward and patted Zhu Gang on the shoulder, comforting him: "Don't worry, third brother, the two of us brothers can work together to find a solution and overcome this difficulty.

But there are some things that I, second brother, would like to discuss with you.

Take my palace for example. Since Shang Bing was born in the 13th year of Hongwu, my status in the palace has undergone some subtle changes due to the issue of heirs.

Zhiruo wanted me to make this child my eldest son, but she was only a concubine after all.

If I openly favor my concubine over my wife, not only would it violate royal rules and I would not be able to explain to my father, but it would also hurt Yue Min's heart.

This is the same as the rumor problem you are facing now. If you are not careful, it will cause a lot of trouble and affect the reputation of the royal family and the harmony of the family."

Zhu Gang nodded and said solemnly, "Second brother is absolutely right.

Although we are descendants of the royal family and enjoy all the wealth and glory, we must be more cautious in our actions because of this.

The education of offspring and the handling of relationships within the palace are particularly critical.

Speaking of which, I admire my eldest brother very much. We only have one child now, but we are already very busy.

My eldest brother has four children. I wonder how he takes good care of them and ensures their healthy growth.”

Zhu Chong showed a puzzled look on his face, "Third brother, I remember that your concubine Fang Shuxiu has been pregnant for a long time, why is there still no news of the birth of a child?

Is there something hidden?"

Just at this moment, Xu Miaoyun walked in from outside the door with Qiaoyu and Cui'er, holding tea and snacks.

Qiaoyu was wearing a moon-white brocade dress with elegant pink peach blossoms embroidered on the hem.

Each one is lifelike, just like a flower just blooming in spring, delicate and gorgeous.

The fine white fluff at the collar and cuffs is as soft as clouds.

Lightly embellished, it adds a touch of gentleness and softness.

She wore a light purple gauze cape that fluttered gently with her steps.

It appears and disappears, just like a fairy descending to earth.

She wore exquisite pearl and jade jewellery on her head, and her hairpins swayed gently as she walked.

It makes a clear and pleasant sound, like the sound of nature.

Qiaoyu was born in a poor family and was smart since childhood.

Since she followed Xu Miaoyun into Prince Jin's Mansion, she has been loved by everyone in the mansion for her cleverness and eagerness to learn, and has also learned a lot of skills in dealing with people.

As soon as she entered the room, Qiaoyu keenly noticed the solemn atmosphere in the room. She glanced at Zhu Gang and saw that his face was solemn and his brows were furrowed. It was obvious that he was still worried about the rumors.

She gently put down the tea, bit her lower lip slightly, and mustered up the courage to speak softly: "Your Highness, I dare to say something.

This rumor may be traced back to its source.

Normally, the maidservant had frequent interactions with the servants in the mansion and knew some sources of information.

I have seen similar rumors in the mansion before, and it was all because someone was behind it.

If we can find the mastermind behind this and stop him, we may be able to calm this storm.”

After saying this, a hint of determination flashed in Qiaoyu's eyes, which was a determination to share the worries of her master.

Zhu Gang was slightly startled, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, which were originally gloomy. He did not expect that Qiaoyu could think of such a crucial point.

His eyes immediately showed admiration, "Qiaoyu, you are right. I didn't expect that you have such insight at such a young age.

If you can find out the truth about this, I will reward you handsomely." (End of this chapter)
