Chapter 423: Grievances
The prince of Shu wants to beat people in his heart!
If the royal family had already made up its mind to let the crown prince admit new people and give birth to a son, then why had there been repeated rumors of succession to the emperor's heir in the past ten years, which caused one after another clan children to be excited about this?
Nowadays, I don't know how many children of the clan have been unlucky because of the succession, I don't know how many of the clan's royal palaces have been defeated because of the succession, and the royal family can still gently and skillfully say the words of letting the prince accept new people and have new heirs, isn't that saying that everyone's attempts and struggles are in vain? Is it meaningless? Is it asking for a dead end?! How dare the emperor and the crown prince do this? Do they really think that the clan has no temper?!
The prince of Shu subconsciously ignored the reason why the prince was weak in the past, and the reason why the heir was difficult, and also left the fact that the royal family never took the initiative to mention that he wanted a step-heir, and everything was the fact that the prince of Jin jumped out to brush up his sense of existence, and then caused the ambition of Zhao Shuo, the eldest son of the king of Liao, and the father and son of the king of Shu. Of course, he would not accept that all this was the truth that the careerists in their clan were delusional, and he would only resent the people who shattered his dreams. It was the emperor, it was the crown prince, it was all the people who prevented him from taking power in the court. How could he reflect on whether he had made the wrong decision?
It was not easy for the prince of Shu to maintain a calm expression in front of the chamberlain, but as soon as the people left, he could no longer suppress the anger and resentment in his heart, his facial features were hideous, and he almost couldn't suppress his temper and wanted to smash everything in this room to smash.
Just then, someone came again.
The moment the chamberlain welcomed people into the door, the prince of Shu couldn't control the expression on his face, and glared at the person fiercely.
King Sanyo, who had just entered the door, was immediately startled. However, he was weak in his own heart, and he didn't suspect anything else, but he smiled uncomfortably at the prince of Shu: "Wang...... Is the prince's nephew there?"
When the chamberlain who received the King of Shanyang raised his head and looked over, the face of the prince of Shu had returned to his normal expression, but it was still a little stiff: "It turned out to be Uncle Wang of Shanyang." He saluted coldly, then turned his head and stared at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
The King of Shanyang sat down awkwardly opposite him, the seat farthest away from the Prince of Shu. It's not that he's afraid of this royal nephew or anything, it's just that ...... Uncomfortable.
The King of Shanyang and the King of Shu were both raised in Cining Palace when they were young, because of his own embarrassing situation at that time, he did not dare to be a little willful in the palace, but he had to be careful to avoid offending anyone, even a palace maid, a little eunuch, he had to respect. When he found that the queen mother and the emperor were very kind to the king of Shu, he consciously tried to curry favor with the king of Shu and strive to become the other party's little partner. After that, his situation was much better, and later he successfully married a Tu daughter as a concubine, and he got a lot of property when he opened the mansion. Although after leaving the palace and opening the mansion, the king of Shu and his wife went to the domain, and the king of Shanyang did not live very well in the capital for many years. But the days when the King of Shu went to Beijing can be said to be the most beautiful time in his life. Everyone was kind and friendly to him, or they were in awe, and there was no longer any contempt or neglect, and he could sit on an equal footing with the courtiers, and he was almost married to the most holy family......
It's just that when the King of Shu was found to have poisoned the prince who went out of the palace to seek medical treatment, all this scenery suddenly ended. The Shu Wang's family was imprisoned, and the former fief was also taken back by the imperial court, although their Shanyang Wangfu was not convicted on the surface - their family did not participate in the illegal acts of the Shu Wangfu - but there are some things, if they have never been obtained, people will not have regrets in their hearts; In order to protect himself, in order to protect his newborn baby son from his father and ancestors, King Shanyang not only never thought about helping the Shu Mansion do anything during that time, but even forbade the princess to contact the Tu family.
King Shanyang actually knew in his heart that many people felt that they were suspected of being ungrateful. No matter how rebellious the King of Shu is, he is still very good to his childhood friend, and he has not given himself any benefits, but when the other party is in trouble, he chooses to turn his face and deny people, and does not remember any old feelings, who in the court and the opposition does not criticize this? But what can he do? He was already having a hard time, so he added a pink and tender little son, can he still die for the King of Shu? He and the King of Shu are not really close brothers, everything is just a use. Besides, the King of Shu is looking for death by himself, and he is turning his face against the King of Shu, what's wrong? He is loyal to the royal family and the court, which is correct!
King Shanyang told himself that he could be justified in the face of anyone's contempt. It's just that this righteousness can't be maintained when facing the eldest son of the king of Shu. He knew in his heart that he had indeed received a lot of grace from the king of Shu......
The prince of Shu and the king of Shanyang sat so far away, and they didn't talk to each other. The atmosphere in the room was a little calm for a while.
The waiter brought tea up, and he didn't dare to say anything when he saw this. The grievances and hatreds between these two nobles have also been discussed in private. The ungrateful white-eyed wolf was unlucky, and actually met the bitter master, what are these subordinates doing in it? Hurry away from it, lest these two really fight, and they will suffer from the disaster of the pond fish.
However, there was also a spirit who hurriedly passed the letter to the study and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to show it. What can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do? He is still busy discussing business with his subordinates. Let the two of them sit and have tea for the time being, and if there is a real fight, it will not be too late for the chamberlains to pull them apart.
In fact, the chamberlains had already avoided a long time ago, but they were far away to observe the movements of both of them, and were prepared to step forward in time to stop them when something was wrong.
The prince of Shu came to the East Palace much more often than the king of Shanyang, and with just two glances, he could guess the attitude of the attendants. He snorted coldly in his heart, turned his eyes to observe the King of Shanyang, and suddenly had an idea.
He sent Hei Feng to garrison the secret grange in Tongzhou, but he asked the leader of the Beirong secret spy to lead the pursuers of the secret spy department of the imperial city, and he didn't know if it attracted the attention of the royal family. As long as the emperor and the crown prince wanted to investigate, it was not difficult to find out his true relationship with that grange. If he doesn't want the emperor and the crown prince to doubt him, he needs someone to take the blame to divert the suspicion of the emperor and the crown prince. And the king of Sanyo happened to have an industry near that grange. When he first purchased this property, his father King Shu was loud, and his mother Tu and Shanyang Princess Xiao Tu were sisters, so through the relationship of the Tu family, the land was wrapped up and divided into three pieces, the best piece was given to Princess Shu, and the worst piece belonged to Princess Shanyang, and the two Zhuangzi were almost next to each other.
If it is said that the leader of the Beirong secret spy was brought to Zhuangzi next door by the people in the Shanyang Palace, it doesn't seem to make sense? And the King of Shanyang has had a backbone from generation to generation since his father and ancestors, and his relationship with the royal family has never been much better, and now it is an existence that everyone avoids in the clan. If he is unlucky, no one will be upset for him.
The prince of Shu stared at King Shanyang, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This man is ungrateful, but he can't be angry with his father, but if it's just revenge...... In fact, it is not difficult, and it is also a matter of course.
After King Shanyang was originally a sinner, he was able to live a good life and die in the palace at a young age, all thanks to the blessing of his father, not to mention the benefits he received from his father later. Since he has received the grace of his father, it is also appropriate for him to do his part for his father's flesh and blood today, right?
King Shanyang suddenly felt that the temperature in this room seemed to be getting lower and lower, and the cold made him a little restless. Originally, as soon as he saw the prince of Shu, he wanted to leave, but when he thought of the murder near his Zhuangzi, as well as the people of the Imperial City Secret Spy Department and the officers and soldiers of Dali Temple searched on his Zhuangzi again and again, and even his palace manager was detained by the people of the Secret Spy Department. He wasn't sure if the emperor had instructed him, and he didn't know if he was being targeted by someone. He must see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible, defend himself, and then ask for mercy to get out as soon as possible. Even if the prince of Shu gave him a cold face, he had to endure it.
But seeing that the prince of Shu suddenly showed a gentle smile to himself, the king of Shanyang couldn't help but shiver, wondering if he was daydreaming?
When the prince had a little free time and could take a breath, he finally remembered to pay attention to the two clan enemies who came to the East Palace to see today. He sent his chamberlain over to ask if the prince of Shu and the king of Shanyang had a fight, but the answer he got surprised him very much: "The prince of Shu and the king of Shanyang were speechless at first, but then they slowly started talking. The prince of Shu had a kind attitude, and the king of Shanyang was a little flattered, but the more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and now they were talking and laughing. ”
The prince couldn't help but be stunned: "What are they talking about? Can they still talk and laugh?" Could it be that the sun came out of the west?
The chamberlain was far away and didn't hear what the two parties were talking about. When they found out that the prince of Shu and the king of Shanyang had a good conversation, they could finally get closer to each other with peace of mind, and took the opportunity to pour tea and snacks to find out the content of their conversation.
The prince couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "This is really unusual...... "But this is not a bad thing. The prince of Shu can see his situation clearly, not let go of his temper willfully, and treat all those who have grudges with courtesy, so naturally he will not easily cause trouble.
It's just that...... The prince of Shu is still young, and he was originally the pride of the sky, and after he was down, he could swallow his anger so much that even the people who had once befriended his parents and turned around and betrayed him could be treated peacefully, how could he have the meaning of enduring humiliation and burden? In the face of other powerful and high-ranking officials, he endured humiliation and burden, so it can be said that it was to protect his own family, so there is nothing to say.
But what is there for the King of Shanyang to be afraid of? The current situation of the King of Shanyang is only not as good as him.
What is the reason for such an attitude of the prince of Shu?
