"Actually, the prince doesn't know anything, does he?" Su Tong asked.

I said: "It's not that the prince actually knows about it, but that Tang Xuanzong thought that his affairs in King Shou's mansion were seen by the prince, and this matter does not need to be confirmed." The prince is like a time bomb in his heart, and there is a possibility of exploding at any time. ”

"In order to defuse this bomb, did he agree to abolish the prince?" Su Tong thought for a moment and asked.

"It can be said that there should be an element of pushing the boat along the river. I guessed.

After this farce of abolishing the prince, the more Tang Xuanzong looked at the prince, the more unpleasant he became, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the prince Li Ying might know something, and when he saw the prince, he thought of the sweetness of his love affair with Princess Shou in King Shou's mansion that day, and also thought of the prince who seemed to inadvertently raise his head at that time.

For this reason, he specially sent someone to send a historical record to the prince, and passed on his message: "In view of the prince's lack of virtue and not enough to shoulder the great responsibility of the country, I specially ordered you to read through the history books at home, cultivate yourself and cultivate virtue, and you are not allowed to enter the palace without a holy edict------。 ”

The crown prince couldn't enter the palace, and King E and King Guang didn't fall well, and they were also blocked out of the palace.

Depressed, the three of them are really depressed.

The poor man must have something to hate, and the three of them complain every day, do not want to make progress, and are happy to drink and have fun.

The crown prince gave up on himself, but the crown princess was a person with political ambitions. Her father is too often Shaoqing Xue Xuan, and her brother Xue Ru are not people who are willing to be subservient.

One day, the prince was outside in the wind and snow until late at night, and was carried back to the prince's mansion. As soon as the sedan chair fell, the crown princess greeted her: "Prince, why did you come back so late tonight?"

The prince drank some wine, pulled the princess with drunken eyes and a lewd smile, took her in his arms in front of all the servants, and said with a lewd smile: "Baby, I'm in a hurry?----"

"Prince, self-respect!" The crown princess shouted.

Although the prince was drunk, he didn't want to suffer this evil anger, his face changed and said, "Pretend to be serious with me?" Okay, the prince, I'll go to live in another courtyard tonight, and leave you here to keep the empty room alone." ”

After speaking, the prince prepared to leave in a sedan chair. Let the crown princess pull it.

"My father brought his brother to visit and ask the prince to see him. The crown princess whispered.

The prince was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing here so late?"

"It's not convenient to come here during the day. After the crown princess finished speaking, she secretly wrote a few words on the prince's hand.

These words made the prince's heart break out in a cold sweat, and no matter how much wine he drank, he was also scared to wake up at this time.

"Where are they now?" The prince said in a deep voice.

"Waiting for you in the Warm Pavilion. The crown princess said.

"Let's go!" The prince didn't have any nonsense, and walked straight towards the warm pavilion with a flick of his hand.

The prince walked fast, and the princess behind him trotted all the way but couldn't catch up, and the prince at this time was already shocked by the sudden news, his mind was blank, and he couldn't make any judgment, he only knew that he had to hurry up and go to the warm pavilion to meet the person who was willing to help him.

Rushing all the way, I came to the warm pavilion near the lotus pond, and I only heard the singing and dancing inside.

Without thinking about it, the prince quickened his pace and walked in. I saw the crown princess's father Xue Qian and her brother Xue Ru, and Shan Fangyin, the secretary of the military department, sitting with a few unknown people listening to the song.

The prince forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, his face was not revealed, and he smiled in a flat tone: "Everyone is idle and have nothing to do, I am happy here?"

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, hurriedly stood up, respectfully saluted the prince and said, "I've seen the prince ------"

"I wonder why a few people came here today?" The prince pretended to be stupid and asked.

"Mom, the prince obviously knows what they are doing here, why don't you ask directly?" Su Tong asked puzzled.

I thought for a moment and then said: "The crown prince is actually not a straw bale prince, he is also very knowledgeable, he did this firstly to confirm the truth of what the crown princess said, and secondly, to prepare for the future East Window incident to clear up the relationship." ”

While I was talking to Su Tong, the crown princess walked into the warm pavilion.

"Sit down, everyone, and talk openly about what you want to say to the prince. ”

Xue Qian got up first and saluted and said, "Today I happened to meet a few friends from the old world, and I brought them over to meet the prince. ”

After speaking, he glanced at the eunuchs, maids, and girls singing songs around him.

The prince immediately understood what he meant, and shouted angrily: "You all go out for me, what are you listening to here with your ears pricked up when you are idle?"

This sound, everyone thought it was the prince's drunken words, but they didn't dare to disobey, and a shout scared away all the irrelevant people present.

Shan Fangyin, the secretary of the military department next to him, and those unfamiliar faces were also frightened slightly, and secretly said in their hearts: The prince is not as unbearable as the legend.

After sitting down on the main seat, the prince smiled lightly and said, "Introduce me." ”

Shan Fangyin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, took the initiative to pull a short and fat man in dark gray clothes and said: "I don't need to introduce it, everyone knows each other, let me introduce these people who came with me, his name is Zhang Weiguo is a small official of the Criminal Department." ”

Although he didn't know why Shan Yinfang brought a little official over to introduce him, the prince still nodded at Zhang Weiguo very solemnly, and said with a smile: "After this meeting, everyone is a friend, and we will often come and go in the future." ”

Zhang Weiguo didn't expect the prince to be so kind, and he was very excited: "Prince, in the future, if you have a place for the villain, the villain will look forward to you." ”

The prince smiled and nodded.

This Zhang Weiguo looks inconspicuous, but he has a brilliant title, there is nothing he can't steal, and there is no door lock that he can't open. Xue Qian interjected beside him.

This sentence was really the finishing touch, and it suddenly made the prince understand his purpose, and the smile on the prince's face was suddenly much more sincere: "Capable people, I like to make friends with some capable people, or you just quit your job in the Criminal Department and come to me as a guest." ”

"I can also work for the prince when I work in the Criminal Department. Zhang Weiguo replied respectfully.

"It's true that there are some things that are much cheaper for him to do in the Criminal Department. Xue Ru nodded and said.

"That's fine, but in the future, you will come to me every month to receive the moon silver-----," the prince said.

Seeing that Zhang Weiguo had the prince's blue eyes, the two next to him couldn't sit still, stood up, and after respectfully saluting the prince, he introduced himself: "The two of us used to walk in the study, my name is Tong Yangsheng, his name is Murong Bing, because of some sesame mung bean trivial things were degraded, and now I want to take refuge in His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

As soon as he heard that it was a degraded person, the prince lost interest in chatting with them and nodded perfunctorily.

Tong Yangsheng's purpose was to sell himself, and he didn't care about the prince's perfunctory attitude and continued: "What the two of us are good at is judging the situation and analyzing the current affairs and accurately grasping the intentions. ”
