444 Hesitation
Lord Chen was unhappy when he saw that his son deliberately avoided the affairs of the Zhou family, but he couldn't help him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Do you see that the Holy Lord said that the four princes robbed things, what are they robbing? Is it a woman surnamed Zhou?"
Chen Boyan came back to his senses and immediately showed a contemplative expression, and said, "But listening to my father's relays later, the saint doesn't pay much attention to this concubine, and the saint is angry that the fourth prince insulted the Zhou family's style, but it seems to be competing for two words and facial features. ”
Master Chen stroked his beard and nodded: "I think it's the same." ”
Chen Boyan said, "Then what is my father going to do?" The Holy Lord may be warning the Fourth Prince not to compete for the throne with the Great Prince, if this is the case, then your previous attitude will not be implicated. ”
"Wait a minute, I have sent someone to check on that grandfather-in-law, he doesn't seem to have a reason to harm me, and now I have also sent someone to check on the matter of the fourth prince about the mandate of heaven, is there something wrong here." ”
Chen Boyan said, "It's still my father's thoughtfulness, and it's better to be careful." ”
Lord Chen had a feeling of unwillingness, and said, "The saint is suspicious and resolute, and he seems to have restrained a little in the past two years, but I don't want to touch his brows, if it ...... Hey, look at Fang Xiaoru and others at the beginning, the emperor listened to the teacher for everything, so that as the head of the hundred officials, he could show his ambitions, and we, the emperor, would make you useless. ”
Chen Boyan frowned and said, "Dad, be careful when you speak. ”
Lord Chen nodded and said, "At my own home, it's fine." After thinking for a moment, he asked, "My two grandsons are all right, have the two of them been making trouble these days?" ”
Chen Boyan's face turned red, and his father's question was about the recent situation of Lin Xiaoyu and Peach Blossom, who were pregnant at the same time, Peach Blossom was still five months pregnant, and Lin Xiaoyu was also four months old. He was ashamed and said: "Both of them are raising fetuses, so don't make trouble." ”
Lord Chen snorted, "You, sooner or later, you will be ruined in the hands of women, women are used for Zen reception, how can you indulge them like this, if you don't change your indecision, I think you will not be able to become a great tool, and then see how you are worthy of the ancestral foundation." ”
In fact, these two women, Chen Boyan, don't love them in their hearts, but she can't help it when they make a fuss.
The two of them like to fight for the wind and be jealous, and the two of them often scold each other in the yard.
He knew that his father's accusations against him were right, but he couldn't bear it.
Shame and shame agreed: "The son remembers his father's teachings, and no longer acts rashly, so that his children are bound by his personal feelings." ”
Lord Chen nodded with satisfaction, "All in all, it's a good thing to have a child, and when the child is born, you can study with peace of mind. ”
Chen Boyan is still confident in his studies, and said with a smile, "My son will do his best and never let his father lose face." ”
Lord Chen was even more satisfied, and waved his hand, "You go." ”
After Chen Boyan left, Lord Chen had been waiting for news from the people below, and whether he wanted to adopt Grandpa Sun's words, he had to investigate it himself.
After the third watch, the housekeeper quietly led three people in through the side door, all three of whom were in charge of the Sixth Branch Gallery, and they were also disciples of Lord Chen.
The three of them brought a few copies of some recent recitals, all of which were about the remarks that the fourth prince was the true son of heaven, and asked to be made the crown prince.
Lord Chen flipped through it, but there was an exception, this was a book of Zuo Shilang who participated in the Criminal Department, saying that he was careless about human life.
Master Chen looked at the three of them puzzled: "Why did you bring this too?"
The leader of the three is called Han Yi, and Han Yi said in a low voice, "Ge Lao, take a look at the beginning and end of the matter, according to the students, there is something strange in this. ”
Master Chen listened to Han Yi's suggestion and read the recital from beginning to end.
There is a farmer near Huangjue Temple, because there is a bully who digs up their crops, it is at night, it is found by that family, and the bully fights, although the family is not a big family, but there are five sons, and the family does not suffer.
The bully was beaten and unconvinced, and the next day he brought officers and soldiers to take revenge, and accidentally killed the third son of the family.
The family sued the Dali Temple, to find out the bullies and officers and soldiers, but was intervened by the Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, and the family was arrested.
After reading it, Master Chen gently placed the fold on the table at hand, then looked up at the three disciples and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Han Yi said with a sense of mystery on his face, "The student heard from the official of Dali Temple that the reason why the bully went to dig up other people's seedlings in the middle of the night seemed to be to bury something. ”
"What are you buried?" Master Chen had a hunch that this matter was not simple, and his voice was full of indescribable excitement.
Han Yi and the three of them looked at each other, and finally Han Yi spoke: "My lord forgot, about the remarks that the four princes are destined to return, the first place where I found the stone carving was the entrance of Huangjue Temple." ”
"You mean that the bully dug up people's land and buried stone carvings?" After speaking, his eyes widened, and he let go of the essence, if this is the case, then the destiny of the four princes is man-made.
Han Yi said: "We didn't dare to make such associations before, but if the Holy Lord has become wary of the four princes, but nine times out of ten, this is the case, otherwise how can a street gangster be able to call officers and soldiers to take revenge." ”
They are Lord Chen's henchmen, and the reason why Han Yi knew that the emperor was on guard against the four princes was because Lord Chen had already told a few people what the emperor had scolded the four princes, so that a few people could do things with a goal, and omit Zhou Qingyuan's matter and did not talk about it, after all, it was related to the reputation of the four princes.
The other said: "My lord, the person who did this may be the Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, and the Zuo Shilang was promoted by Dingguo Gong." ”
Master Chen couldn't stop nodding.
Han Yi saw that he was leaning on the mountain with a pensive look, and said softly, "My lord, what are we going to do next?"
In the past, Lord Chen had reached an agreement with the Duke of Dingguo to support the Four Princes, and Lord Chen also thought that the Emperor was the Fourth Prince, after all, the Great Prince was disabled, and looking at it today, things were far more difficult to judge than he thought.
He thought to himself, if the eldest prince ascends the throne, then the Zhou family is a relative, and I can't get used to that Lin Xiaojue.
He is the head of a hundred officials, and he should not affect the affairs of the court for the sake of the grievances of the four people, but this is simple to say, who can be so selfless.
Think about it again, but if the emperor is really disgusted with the four princes, at this time, there will be good fruits to eat after standing in the wrong line and waiting for the eldest prince to ascend the throne?
Lord Han, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has been supporting the eldest prince from beginning to end, this person still has some talents for helping the world, if he doesn't act at the moment, he will definitely be kicked out of the cabinet at that time, and maybe he will go home to retire, and then Lord Han and that Liang Yuqiang will have the power to bully him, and he will definitely bully him, which he doesn't want to see the most.
But what if the emperor doesn't dislike the four princes?
Lord Chen thought about it and couldn't make up his mind.
I sent the three of them away without making up my mind, and I didn't sleep well all night. (To be continued.) )
