Chapter 276 What is this kid up to?
"You go down first."

Although he was angry, the support of General Weiyuan was still very important to the eldest prince.

He barely suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked his staff to leave first. Then he frowned and looked at General Weiyuan:

"General, what do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything."

General Weiyuan had a gloomy face and was sulking for a while.

It was not until the eldest prince had lost his patience and was about to ask again that he suddenly spoke in a muffled voice:

"My wife cried yesterday."

The eldest prince: “?”

So?

Your wife is crying. Is this the reason why you are going crazy and throwing a tantrum in front of this prince today?
"She cried because she read yesterday's Tiansheng Weekly."

Not knowing what the eldest prince was thinking at the moment, General Weiyuan continued to state:
“I didn’t know why at first, and I angrily said I was going to go and talk to Her Royal Highness, but Madam stopped me.

The lady said that she cried with joy, not only with joy, but also with some regret. She regretted that when she was a child, she did not have someone like Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to speak up for her as a girl.

Everyone says that she has a fierce temper. If she hadn't met me, she would probably never get married in her life.

But she was actually forced out.

Although she was considered the legitimate daughter of a small noble family, her mother had no sons, and her father and grandmother both loved sons and disliked daughters.

Therefore, she and her mother had never had a good time at home.

A concubine could rely on the fact that she gave birth to a son to climb over their heads and act tyrannically.

If she wasn't strong enough, she would have had a very difficult time in such a place.

Since she was a child, she had wished that she could be a boy, because then she could study, serve in the court, and make her mother proud!

But it was not until yesterday that she suddenly realized that she did not have to be a man.
She had been dreaming about this for so many years, and she thought that a woman could actually do it. "

"What do you mean?"

The eldest prince flattened his lips.

As a typical ancient male chauvinist like him who has many wives and concubines at home and has always treated women as toys, he naturally could not understand General Weiyuan's feelings for his own wife.

After listening to General Weiyuan's words, the only thing he could think of was...

"So you want to stand on Yunshu's side?"

"That's not what I meant."

General Weiyuan rubbed his face, somewhat helpless:

"I just hope that when you target Her Royal Highness, you can refrain from suppressing the woman herself."

"..."

After coming out of the eldest prince's palace, General Weiyuan looked up at the sky outside, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh.

To be honest, leaving aside other things, based on Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess's horseshoes and cotton-padded clothes and quilts, the person he prefers more should be Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.

But after all, he owed the eldest prince a life.

If it weren't for the eldest prince, his son would have been buried in the borderland long ago...

……

In order to make a big splash on the day when Tiansheng College officially starts recruiting students, the eldest prince quickly began to make intensive arrangements.

At the same time, Yun Shu was also busy like a top, visiting every household.
Today she will go to the residence of the new Right Prime Minister, formerly the Left Prime Minister, and tomorrow she will go to the residence of the Minister of Rites. Originally, with her sensitive status, she should not get too close to these ministers in private.

Her behavior of visiting the homes of important officials in the court every day was generally considered as forming a clique for personal gain in the eyes of the emperor!

But Yunshu went there in a swagger.

Not only did she go by herself, but sometimes she would find some extremely lame excuses to ask Emperor Xuanwu to borrow Eunuch Li to go with her!

At the beginning, the ministers she had approached were all very nervous.
Seeing Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess and Eunuch Li, who was beside His Majesty, coming together, he was afraid that something big had happened that he was not aware of.

As a result, after carefully welcoming the person in, he saw Her Highness the Princess staring at him with two innocent big eyes and asking -

"I heard that you wanted to do something unfavorable to me on the day when Tiansheng Academy enrolled students?"

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? This old minister is really wronged!"

The minister who was questioned was confused:
"I have never had such vicious thoughts, I..."

"Then you swear!"

"……what?"

"you swear."

Yun Shu said seriously:
"If you have any bad thoughts towards Tiansheng Academy and put them into action, you will be struck by lightning, and your descendants will never be allowed to step into the academy, let alone serve as officials in the court!"

The minister who had never been so speechless in his life: "???"

Li Dehai: “…”

Emperor Xuanwu learned about this not long after: "..."

What is this kid singing about?
Xuanwu, who didn't understand but trusted, chose to remain silent.
So Yunshu, who was addicted to visiting, became more diligent.

In less than a month, he visited the homes of all the important officials in the court!
The eldest prince couldn't believe his ears when he heard the news.

He even sent people to inquire three times to confirm that Yunshu had been visiting everywhere these days just to force these ministers to swear.
The eldest prince also fell silent:
"Is Yunshu really at his wit's end, or is his brain broken?

She doesn't really think that if she forces everyone to swear an oath, Tiansheng College will be able to open smoothly, right? "

"Maybe... to seek peace of mind?"

The young eunuch who came back after getting the news guessed:

"This oath is quite poisonous. Even if you don't really believe it, you will feel uncomfortable when you think about it."

"How many of those who have managed to reach this position in the court would care about this so-called oath?

If problems can really be solved by swearing, then what problems in this world cannot be solved?"

The eldest prince sneered disdainfully.

After a moment, he seemed to remember something and asked:
"Since she has been to all the important officials' houses recently, is she staying in the palace today?"

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess...went to the Third and Fourth Prince's residences today."

The eldest prince: "..."

The prince also has to play the swearing game with her?
It seems that his fifth sister is really frightened this time.

I really don’t know what my father was thinking, to hand over the position of crown prince to such a cowardly guy!

"It looks like tomorrow it will be this prince's turn."

She had arranged her time very accurately. Tiansheng College would officially start recruiting students the day after tomorrow, but she would visit everyone the day before.

The eldest prince curled his lips sarcastically:
"Give orders, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess will come tomorrow, you must cheer up and entertain her well!"
