Chapter 35: The East Palace Scheme
When Xin Ran and others were talking about this Wang Yongzhong, the people in the East Palace were not idle, since the emperor and the civil and military officials left, the prince was angry at his cronies in the East Palace, saying that his birthday was not arranged well today, so that Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, stole the limelight, and the most annoying thing was that this Shi Miyuan also came to add to the chaos, so that he was embarrassed in front of his father and the civil and military officials.

When everyone in the East Palace saw the prince angry, they were all scared and trembling, for fear that the prince would be angry with him, so they didn't dare to speak out, until they saw that the prince's anger was almost over, and the prince's master, Li Yuanyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said to the prince: "I don't think the prince should be angry, although we fell behind in front of the saint today, we also saw some things." β
"Master Li, what do you see?" the prince asked.
Li Yuanyi replied: "I think that the Holy Lord today seems to be very serious about this sudden appearance. β
When the prince heard this, he said: "Master Li is reasonable, my father has always been very fond of Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, and today he actually let this Xin Ran and Zhao Yun sit at the same table. β
Li Yuanyi said: "The prince's concern is very reasonable, I heard that the saint has intended to change the king of Yi Zhao Yun to the prince, if you arrange for someone you admire to assist, then the prince, your situation will be very bad." β
"I haven't heard of this Xin Ran before, and I don't know what means this person has to make his father treat him so well," the prince said.
Li Yuanyi said to the prince: " This Xin Ran is not well-known, but his father is a well-known Xin Qi disease, although the official position held by his father before his death is not large, but this person's literary talent and governing ability have always been praised by the world, especially among the literati, this person's reputation is very high, based on these alone, this Xin Ran can not be underestimated, as long as he is called by his father's friends and protΓ©gΓ©s during his lifetime, there are still many people who respond, and now even the saint is very recognized by this Xin Ran, so who is this person, will be of great help to the person who uses itγ β
After listening to this, the prince asked Li Yuanyi and said, "Master Li, since this person is so important, then we must not let Xin Ran be used by Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, can you think of a way to win this Xin Ran over and use it for us?"
"It's difficult, to be honest, that day, when Xin Ran and Lord Chen Wenduan came to pay their respects, you seemed to be a little arrogant to Xin Ran, maybe this Xin Ran was also looking at your attitude at that time, plus when the saint asked you about the "Ten Treatises on Mei Qin", you seemed to disagree with this, you must know that this was the thing that his father was most proud of during his lifetime, and so on, it must have made your impression in Xin Ran's mind not very good", Li Yuanyi said to the prince.
The prince said to Li Yuanyi: "Master, what's the use of saying these now, things have happened, besides, I didn't know that this person was so important to us at the time, you are my master, you have always been the most assertive, and you dealt with Xin Qiji before his death, you are also the elder of this Xin Ran, I think so, I personally write an invitation, you take this invitation to invite this Xin Ran to sit in the East Palace, just say that the palace sincerely wants to ask him about the big things about governing the country, do you think it is feasible?"
Li Yuanyi smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, let me tell you the truth, I did have some contacts with Xin Qiji before I was alive, but that was many years ago, I'm afraid Xin Qiji may not have mentioned this matter to his son, so if I go, I will sell the face of the old man." β
Seeing that Li Yuanyi seemed to want to shirk, the prince hurriedly said: "Master, your old man is highly respected, and besides, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this Xin Ran lives in Chen Wenduan's house, and this Chen Wenduan is now the head of the Ministry of Rites, you are his boss, you go and invite someone who lives in her house, he will definitely give you face and help you speak." β
As soon as Li Yuan saw that the prince said this, it was difficult to refuse, and said to the prince: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts the old man, then the old man will try it when he is free these days, if it doesn't work, His Royal Highness the Prince, you will send someone else there." β
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said: "Then please leave this matter to the master." β
After listening to them discuss the matter, Wang Yongzhong, who was standing aside, bowed down and said to the prince: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is one more thing, that is, Shi Miyuan, who has always been against you, must also think of a way." β
Li Yuanyi continued: "Shi Miyuan's power in the court has deep roots, and if you want to deal with this person, I am afraid it will not be done overnight, and when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, it will not be too late to clean up this person." β
The prince said: "What Master Li said is that this Shi Miyuan palace is also very disgusted with him, some time ago, he also gave me precious porcelain, I fell at that time, and I didn't give him face at all, to be honest, this palace will ascend the throne in the future, and the first thing to clean up is this Shi Miyuan." β
After all, Li Yuanyi is old, and when he heard the prince say this, he hurriedly persuaded: "Prince, there are some things in your heart, you can count them, don't say them easily, you know, the subordinate Meteor Hall in the "Tianxia Sect" organized by Shi Miyuan specializes in planting secret agents everywhere, in case what you just said is known to Shi Miyuan, it's okay, be careful of trouble from your mouth." β
The prince seemed to be a little disapproving, but on the surface he still said respectfully to Li Yuanyi: "What Master Li said is that the palace will pay attention to it in the future." β
After saying this, the prince thought for a while, and said to Wang Yongzhong: "Yongzhong, yesterday I saw that your competition with the sect master of the Tianxia Sect was not very intense, but it just stopped with a palm, what is going on? You are the closed disciple of the head of Wudang today, doesn't it mean that your master taught you all the skills of Wudang." β
Wang Yongzhong seemed a little embarrassed when he heard the prince say this, and defended: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the sect master of the Tianxia Sect who fought against the lowly position yesterday judged according to the humble position, this person is not simple, he uses the Shura Yin Feng Gong, this skill is the first divine skill of the evil sect, and this sect master may have practiced to the sixth level according to the humble position, although the Zixia Divine Skill of the humble position is the nemesis of this Shura Yin Feng Gong, but he is very ashamed, and the humble position can only be practiced to the level of four or five percent, so the humble position suffered a big loss yesterday. β
After hearing this, the prince said unhappily: "This palace still expects you to deal with Shi Miyuan's subordinates, and it seems that you can't count on it, just your martial arts." β
Wang Yongzhong heard the prince say this, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the prince will ask the master again in the near future, step up the practice, and strive to practice the Zixia Divine Skill to the highest level as soon as possible, when the time comes, it will naturally be a matter of time to clean up the sect master of this world sect, and besides, you know my master's martial arts, but it really can't work, I will go and ask my master and his old man to come out, and it is not a piece of cake to clean up the sect master of this world sect." β
The prince snorted, didn't say anything more, and after a while, he said: "The palace is also lacking today, I think it will be done according to the countermeasures discussed just now, and you should also retreat." β
When everyone saw that the prince said this, they didn't say anything more, and they all took their leave and went home.
