262. in the first place

The emperor's heart was in great pain, and he swept all the pieces on the table to the ground, and the top of the letter was scattered, and the emperor swept it at a glance, and the word "prince" could be vaguely seen on the top.

The corners of the emperor's eyes and eyebrows were filled with a thick murderous aura, and he looked at the people who saw this twist, a good Song Qin, a good Wei Jie, did they all treat him as a three-year-old child?

The emperor shouted: "Zhao Yuande!"

Zhao Yuande hurriedly bowed in, and when he saw the folds scattered on the ground, he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly hung his head and said, "The slave is here!"

"You go to the East Palace, pass on my message, and ask the prince to let me go to Yanmen Pass today!"

Zhao Yuande was shocked, and hurriedly retreated to pass the decree.

The crown prince was still entertaining Gu Yi in the East Palace at the moment, and when it came to the funeral of Duchess Ning Guo, he gently provoked a sarcastic smile.

"It's a pity that you're not here, your mother's funeral day was very lively......

Gu Yi was lying on the warm kang with his eyes lowered, and the anger in his heart went straight up, how could anyone put the word lively and the funeral together, the prince was deliberately provoking him, now that his father has received the errand of the general army of Sichuan and Gui, and his mother has gone again, the family must be in chaos.

Seeing that Gu Yi didn't react, the prince smiled and continued: " If you don't get hurt your mother's tablet, you don't need Gu Kui to hold it, the filial son and filial daughter are lined up, Manman's eyes are swollen like goldfish, it's really pitiful, oh, speaking of filial piety, your mother's coffin is going to the door, your three sisters didn't appear, and Manman's face changed at the moment, and he rushed into Linlin's room and dragged her out, Linlin's illness yo, the whole human shape was erect, I heard the maid say that she had been serving in front of Mrs. Gu a few days ago, and then she was sick, others said that she had filial piety, and Gu Kui, many people who didn't recognize him, all inquired about him……”

Gu Linlin is her father's most beloved daughter except for Manman, but she didn't expect that once her mother was gone, she would be so uncontrollable, and use her mother's funeral to fulfill her reputation, as well as Gu Kui, the meaning of the prince's words is that others think that he is about to die of injury in the palace, and the position of the son of the world will fall to Gu Kui sooner or later, so he will be so interested in inquiring about Gu Kui's identity.

Gu Yi's palm hidden under the quilt was clenched into a fist, pinching it deadly, he couldn't hold the spirit when his mother died, but asked Gu Kui, who his mother hated the most, to hold it, presumably his mother would be unhappy if she knew it, but she hated his wound, and it hurt her heart when she moved, if he held it strongly, he was afraid that he would faint next to his mother's coffin if he held it halfway.

The prince paused, as if he remembered something, and casually seemed to be talking to himself, but the viciousness in his words rushed towards Gu Yi.

“…… Speaking of which, I don't know if it's a person who goes to tea or what, the official at the other end of Nanzhili came to Shandong Patrol Road He Jiachang, and Zhong Shuhua, the political secretary of Huguangbu, and Ning Guogong's popularity is also a little too bad. ”

The prince looked puzzled, tilted his head to look at him, but the schadenfreude in his eyes was unwilling to even cover it up, so he put it on the bright side.

Gu Yi gritted his teeth tightly, his father had just stepped down as the commander of the Chinese army, these people would not buy it, if there was no power from the prince and the Wei family, he would never believe it, and he forcibly did not let his painful color be revealed.

The prince glanced at Gu Yi, seeing that his face was pale, and there was a deep pain hidden in his drooping eyes, he couldn't help but bend his lips, his uncle also hoped to be able to save his family, according to his intentions, he should uproot the Gu family, and bite him in turn in the future, a noble family like the Gu family, the days of showing off their power have passed too long, it's time to let them hurt it, so that they can know what they are.

The little chamberlain came in to tell him that Zhao Yuande, the chief chamberlain beside the emperor, was here.

Only then did the prince stop talking and invited Zhao Yuande into the hall.

Zhao Yuande saluted and raised his voice: "Spread the emperor's edict, ordering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to set off today to reinforce Yanmen Pass, there must be no mistake!"

The prince didn't expect Zhao Yuande to come over and talk about this, so he was stunned for a moment, and asked with wide eyes: "What? Father asked me to go today? How is this possible!"

It stands to reason that something has happened to the third child, no matter how the father will slow down this matter, how could he suddenly make such a decision?

Zhao Yuande lowered his head respectfully, but the words in his mouth surprised the prince, "The emperor also said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should think about His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and then think about himself." ”

He suddenly got up, "What does this mean? Could it be that my father thinks that I did something wrong with the third child?"

Zhao Yuande also seemed to be frightened by the prince's reaction, and was stunned for a long time before he said slowly: "The slave speculates, the emperor should have said that Yanmen Pass is in an emergency, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince received an errand but had an accident on the way, and His Royal Highness the Prince, as a brother, can't stay out of the matter." ”

One sentence calmed the prince's panic like a drum, he was a little too calm just now, fortunately it was just Zhao Yuande, a gelding, if he was heard by others, he was afraid that something bad would happen.

He glanced at Zhao Yuande, took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and threw it to him, "That's reasonable, I've rewarded you." ”

Zhao Yuande pursed his lips secretly, his heart was full of disdain for the prince, but his face was still respectful, holding the jade pei in both hands and thanking him: "Slave Xie prince reward." ”

The crown prince smiled and turned around to leave, Zhao Yuande hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the prince, the emperor means that you will leave immediately, the emperor has already appointed forty Yan Yunwei to you, and they are waiting outside the East Palace." ”

The prince's face changed suddenly, and his father would not even give him time to respond......

Gu Yi was lying on the warm kang, watching the prince have no choice but to follow Zhao Yuande out of the hall, his eyebrows and eyes slowly stretched.

Father is right, the emperor intends to clean up the Wei family, and now the prince is also implicated, the emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years, it is the prime of life, and the throne will fall to the head of which prince in the future, no one can say well, the emperor is not only the prince and a son, in addition to the eldest prince who was crowned the king of Guangyi County, there are also three princes, four princes and seven princes, the life and death of the three princes are now uncertain, and the seven princes have just been born, as long as the prince has an accident at this time, the throne will fall to the four princes.

Gu Shufei, the mother of the four princes, is his aunt, if the four princes ascend the throne in the future, where will the mother's family as the mother of the four princes and concubines go.

The corners of Gu Yi's mouth stirred up a smile, adding a little more handsomeness to his already very handsome cheeks, and he turned his head sideways to the side of Xiao Gong: "Trouble Sister Baoyi to go to Zhaoyang Palace, I have finished reading the miscellaneous book that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince brought before, and I asked Sister Baoyi to help me send it back, I wonder if my sister is free?"

Under his handsome smile, the little palace man blushed and nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, the slave will help the prince run." ”

Chu Shaohan, the fourth prince, came to see it with a copy of "Political Dignitaries" in Zhaoyang Palace, and heard the palace people come in to tell him that Gu Shizi had sent the book, and he was stunned for a long time before he nodded and said, "I know, you go down." ”

The palace people retreated, the fourth prince put down the book in his hand, looked at the book returned from the bookshelf for a long time, and took out a copy of "Nine Heavens Cangyunlu", picked up a bookmark sandwiched between the pages, and put it in the sun.

Said to be a bookmark, in fact, it is a leaf, the leaf of the banyan tree, Yunfu City is close to the north, naturally there is no particularly good banyan tree, the book is borrowed from Zhang Ruiqing, he likes to read these market romance biographies, although it cannot be compared with the orthodox history books in the palace, but it is very interesting.

He rubbed the leaf, the lines of which were clearly visible in the sunlight, and he could hold it in the palm of his hand as soon as he stretched out his hand.

But he knew that the leaves had been dried, and if he tried too hard and was not careful, the leaves would be crushed into powder.

……

When Wei Jie knew that the prince was leaving, it had been two hours, and he was walking around the study irritably.

Staff member Lu Xingyun looked at him like this, and couldn't help but say: "If the prince is worried about the prince, he can secretly send secret guards to accompany him to protect the prince's safety." ”

Where is Wei Jie worried about the safety of the prince, how the third prince is not seen He knows better than anyone else, he is worried about the war on his son's side, if the prince passes, it is inevitable that the prince will not find out strange, no matter how the prince is close to the Wei family, it is also a candidate for the prince, the next emperor, if the prince finds out about this, I am afraid that he will become a pigtail in the future, and when the prince comes to power, they will not have a bright future for the Wei family.

But how to talk to the staff about this, he had to say vaguely: "The northwest has always been in the hands of our Wei family, the emperor sent the three princes to the prince, in order to give our Wei family power, I originally thought that after the matter of the three princes, the emperor could dispel the idea of sending the prince in the past, but it was self-defeating, and the emperor's temper in recent years has become more and more incomprehensible." ”

Lu Xingyun has been following Wei Jie for four or five years, and he has a certain understanding of Wei Jie's temperament, seeing him so irritable, and listening to his tone between the lines, it doesn't seem like he is worrying about such a little thing at all, and he can't help sighing, "At this point, don't hide it from me." ”

Anyway, he also knew a lot of the Wei family's secrets, and even the assassination of the three princes was his plan, so he cared about anything else, so he responded to that sentence, there are many lice and don't bite, and knowing one secret is no different from knowing a hundred secrets for him.

Wei Jie hesitated for a long time before he gave a general idea of the war in the northwest, leaving aside the most fatal place, only saying that he had a scene with the Tartars, but Lu Xingyun's face turned pale, An Beihou has already constituted the crime of collaborating with the enemy, if it is exposed at this time, the emperor will immediately be able to behead the Wei family.

He secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, whether he became a king or worshiped the prime minister, it depends on this time.

He said slowly: "Since we are forced by the shape now, then we will simply not do anything, beat the Tartar back with real swords and guns, and accumulate a lot of military merits for His Royal Highness the Prince, presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also remember our benefits in the future." ”

[There may have been too many unrelated people recently, but they all have intentions, so, huh, Xiaoyi covered his face and turned his head and ran away~]
