When I woke up the next morning, it was freezing cold around me.

"The Book of Songs Qifeng Chicken Crows" says: As soon as the rooster crows, the court will be full; the east will be bright, and the court will be prosperous.

Emperor Maoshi, that is, at five o'clock in modern times, had to get up early.

The ministers had to get up in the middle of the night and cross half of the capital to wait at the gate of the palace, waiting for the gate to open.

Nan Cangming was named the Queen of the Southwest and wanted to go to the court to discuss matters, so she had to wait at the gate of the palace at Maoshi, so she must have gotten up very early.

Chu Haozhi never got up at five o'clock in the military academy, unless there was an emergency gathering in the middle of the night.

It seems that it is the same wherever you go to work, and you are always going to work with your life.

The Southwest Palace was in full swing, and the butler led a group of people to demolish the house in the middle of the night, causing the common people to watch.

The butler looked at the almost demolished backyard and nodded in satisfaction.

Now there is only one main courtyard left in the palace, and the side courtyard where the servants live.

The little girls serving Nan Cangming carefully asked: "Why did the prince suddenly demolish the backyard, where will the side concubine and the concubines live in the future?"

The butler smiled and said: "Why don't you ask the lord? You should stop thinking about it early, so that you don't know how to die when you get it!"

A few little girls knelt down tremblingly and said, "Slaves are overbearing, thank you for your advice."

Carloads of dismantled timber were transported out of the Southwest Prince's Mansion, and the common people watched and looted them.

"The King of the Southwest went to the battlefield before he heard that he was a weak crown, but he is a young hero."

"Young heroes are all-powerful on the battlefield, but when they come back, they dismantle their backyard to plant plum blossoms. Will they marry a wife and have children in the future?"

"This time you have made great contributions in calming the chaos in the Southwest, His Majesty must reward some beauties.

Can the main courtyard of a wealthy family have no more than ten rooms?It's not a bad idea to live together and enjoy the blessings of Qiren! "

A man smiled meaningfully after speaking, which aroused everyone's imagination, and bursts of laughter broke out in the crowd.

At this time, a scholar-like man said: "Maybe the King of Southwest is imitating Lin Fu's example of raising plums and raising cranes, and becoming a noble man with plums, wives and cranes."

The people around looked at the scholar like a monster and said: "Which one of the royal family members has three wives and four concubines, and also a plum wife and a crane son, this person is not stupid in reading."

The movement in the capital reached the emperor's ears.

After the court came down, the emperor left Nan Cangming behind and said, "You demolished the backyard, where will the family members live then?"

Nan Cangming said honestly: "Wangfei naturally lives in the main courtyard with me, shouldn't husband and wife sleep in the same bed every day?"

The emperor choked for a while before he said: "Could it be that those concubines also sleep with you and the princess? It's ridiculous!"

The emperor slapped the table angrily, scaring Eunuch Cheng beside him.

Nan Cangming pursed his lips and said, "Your subjects don't want concubines.

The minister will only marry the princess alone. "

"Oh, no side concubine or concubine?"

The emperor looked at Nan Cangming meaningfully, and the other princes were eager to take all the daughters of the ministers back to their backyards and form cliques to strengthen their forces.

Eunuch Cheng also secretly looked at Nancangming from the corner of his eye.

When the Southwest King spoke, his expression was gentle and frank, and he didn't look like a person who pretended to be a man with a deep city.

Nan Cangming raised his lips and said: "If there are too many women, there will be intrigue and jealousy.

The ministers don't want the princess to be wronged, so they don't want side concubines or concubines. "

My harem fights openly and secretly every day, and is constantly noisy.

Nan Cangming's every word was like slapping the emperor's face one by one.

The emperor was slapped in the face by his own son for a moment, so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him and said:

"Without a harem, how would you gain a foothold in the court, and how would you control those courtiers.

The harem is also part of the entitlement. "

Nan Cangming said without hesitation: "My son never thought of gaining a foothold in the court.

Even if he wants to gain a foothold in the court, he doesn't want to use women to restrain the officials. "

"The harem wants to contain most of the court, what a brat who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth! How can the emperor's art be so simple?" The emperor was furious and furious.

Nan Cangming said calmly, "I don't know the emperor's art.

He only knows that as a husband, he should spoil and protect his wife, instead of leaving him in a place surrounded by wolves and tigers and leopards, struggling to survive. "

"You, what are you doing against me?" The emperor pointed at the Nancangming thunder and said angrily.

"Your Majesty, calm down. The King of Southwest grew up in a cold palace. He lacked education and didn't know the art of emperors. Naturally, he didn't understand these things."

While helping the emperor calm down, Eunuch Cheng winked at Nan Cangming.

Nan Cangming knelt down and said in a low voice, "I know I was wrong."

The emperor waved his hand and said: "Forget it, at the beginning of the new year, you still have to choose a knowledgeable person from among the new talents, and let him teach you well."

"Thank you, Father."

"Go down and tidy up, and come to the celebration banquet tonight to take a good look at the daughters of each family."

The emperor frowned.

At night, the whole palace is brightly lit with thousands of lights, making it very lively.

The emperor and empress sit on the throne, followed by the prince and other princes and courtiers.

After kneeling and worshiping, the daughters of each family performed their talents one by one.

The daughter of the Prime Minister amazed everyone with a song in neon clothes and feathers, and the Guangling song by the daughter of the minister was no different.

The emperor laughed from ear to ear: "Cang Ming, do you like any of these riches?"

As soon as the emperor said this, the crown prince, His Royal Highness and other princes were all shocked.

Is it a test, or is it intentional to support Nancangming?Everyone is uncertain.

Nan Cangming drank alone and didn't know what he was thinking. When asked, he got up and frowned and said lightly: "I don't like them."

The crown prince and the fourth prince breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor was slightly taken aback and said:

"Then which daughter do you have your eye on?" Tell me about it, and today I will marry you brothers together. "

All the daughters looked at Nan Cangming shyly.

This Southwest king was crowned king at a young age, and being regarded as a side concubine is also very beautiful.

Nan Cangming didn't even look at the ladies, and said casually: "I don't even like it."

The emperor pretended to be angry and said: "I have all the daughters of the famous family here, but you don't like any of them. Could it be that you want to marry the nine-day fairy?"

Nan Cangming said dully: "Wait until all the imperial brothers marry the main concubine, and the son has someone he wants to marry, and then ask the emperor for his order?"

It seems that this son did not intend to win over the courtiers. The emperor thought about it, and pretended to be kind and said:

"I have neglected to discipline you since I was a child, and I owe it to you.

As long as the person you are asking to marry is not some heinous person, I will allow it. "

Nan Cangming knelt down with a smile on his face and said, "I thank my father, Emperor Long En."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction and said: "The queen of the Shangshu, Yanqin, is pure, pure, pure, and blue-hearted. She has the demeanor of a mother who respects the world, so I will marry the prince."

"Chu Luoyun, the prime minister's daughter, is as beautiful as a chrysanthemum, and the fourth prince likes poetry and books, so let's marry the fourth prince."

"Thank you, father, for the marriage."

"My lady, thank you for your grace."

Everyone kowtowed to thank each other politely, Nan Cangming lacked interest and poured himself a drink.

Seeing this, the emperor said, "Cangming, you don't want to marry the main concubine.

There happened to be a batch of dancers, all of whom were pretty, so I picked a few to go back and be concubines. "

Nan Cangming said solemnly: "The backyard of Erchen's mansion has been demolished, I'm afraid there is no place for them to live."

"Nonsense, quickly find someone to build it tomorrow.

I will send Eunuch Cheng to send people there in person. "

"Kerchen doesn't have the money to support so many idle women."

Nan Cangming's face remained unchanged.

All the ministers couldn't laugh or cry when they heard this. The King of Southwest is really straightforward. He can say without changing his face that he has no money to support women. Which man doesn't drink flower wine these days?

The emperor was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and scolded: "I rewarded you ten thousand taels of gold, as well as jewels and brocades.

Your monthly salary is not lacking, and you actually said that you can't afford to support a few women, and you will lose all the face of the royal family. "

Nan Cangming said straightforwardly: "I only want to leave the money of my son to the princess, not to other women."

All the ladies from the official family blushed when they heard this, and quickly covered their mouths with handkerchiefs.

This Southwest King is really an infatuated person, and he is extremely handsome. Anyone who can be his princess will be very lucky.

For a moment, the lady of the capital's official family had a secret heart for the Southwest King, and her eyes were all on Nan Cangming with affectionate eyes.

"Absurd, Mr. Cheng took the order.

Immediately after the banquet is over, I will send the person to the Southwest Palace. "

the emperor scolded.

Seeing that Nan Cangming was being scolded, the prince comforted him, "Ninth Brother, why do you want to offend Emperor Father? There are only a few women around, and it won't cost much money."

"If the ninth brother is short of money, you can tell the fourth brother that the emperor will send a few boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin to the house in the next day. It can be regarded as a meeting gift for the brothers and sisters."

The fourth prince said sincerely in order to win the favor of the emperor.

"Fourth Brother's courteous younger brother was disrespectful, so he had no choice but to obey.

How about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also show some practical expressions like the Fourth Emperor Brother? "

Nan Cangming looked at the prince and the fourth prince with big innocent eyes.

Anyone who looked at him looked like a younger brother who didn't know much about the world, begging for sweets from his elder brothers.

The fourth prince was choked off guard, he was just talking about the scene, and stepped on Nancangming by the way.

Who knew that this person didn't care about face, it was really disrespectful.

Reluctantly, he had no choice but to smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, send someone to deliver the things to the Southwest Palace."

The prince saw that the fourth prince had someone give silver taels, so it was not good to lose face in front of everyone.

He gritted his teeth in his heart but said with a smile on his face:

"Ninth brother has been in the cold palace all year round, so he must have no family background.

Brother Huang immediately sent someone to deliver a few boxes of gold, silver and jewelry to relieve the urgent need of the ninth brother. "

Immediately afterwards, several other princes also presented some belongings one after another, and the smile on Nan Cangming's face became more sincere and brilliant.

It seems that this banquet is not in vain, it is quite a bargain.

Nan Cangming was very happy to earn so much money with just a few words.

This is the first time I have so much money, what should I buy for Master?On weekdays, what Master eats and wears is prepared by Chuchen Palace, and I don’t know what Master likes...

I heard that there is an auction house in Beijing, which has many rare treasures.

Try your luck another day, maybe you can get something good.

Seeing the scene of brotherly harmony in front of him, the emperor was also very pleased and said: "Seeing the friendship between you brothers, I am very relieved and appreciate it."

Everyone knelt down and kowtowed to thank them again.

The banquet was over, and it was already the second watch when I returned to the house.

Nan Cangming looked with satisfaction at the dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry sent by the crown prince and the fourth prince.

These two people are in a great competition to see who is richer.

Seeing Nan Cangming's smiling face, the butler breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My lord, what do you think about the arrangements for those dancers?"

Nan Cangming put down the jewelry, waved his hand and said, "Let them clean the main courtyard."

"Clean the main courtyard?" the butler repeated again, uncertain.
