Chapter 44: Over the Hill
With the support of the young master of the Liu family, Mr. Liu got into the carriage again and left the mansion, walked on the streets of Yingtian City, going around and around, and the final destination was naturally the mansion of the little prince.
This time, of course, there would be no more collisions between the carriage and horses of the Ministry of Justice, and the carriage drove smoothly down the street, and soon reached the end point.
The old man is a loyal follower of the little prince, and often goes back and forth between the palace and the Shangshu Mansion, so the servants of the palace are very familiar with this old man, and naturally no one dares to step forward to stop him, so the young master of the Liu family directly helped the old man into the palace.
Recently, the situation of His Majesty the Emperor's dragon body is becoming less and less optimistic, and many people have begun to make some small moves in private, which has made many officials panic, and they began to choose to stand in line, for fear that if they stand in the queue late, they will not be able to grab the merits of support, and then they will be snubbed by the imperial court in the new era.
When the emperor was still in power, these people began to fight their own little Jiujiu, which has always been the most taboo thing for emperors of previous dynasties, even the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the Emperor Taizong of the Tang State in the previous dynasty are not exempt from vulgarity, that is, His Majesty Emperor Tianxi Zhao Xixuan really has no time to care about it now, otherwise if His Majesty recovers one day, I am afraid that these guys will have to be packed up together and thrown out of the political system of Chu like garbage.
Hundreds of officials began to stand in line, the eldest prince Zhao Tianyi was happy in his heart, and opened the door of the mansion to welcome distinguished guests, which effectively imitated the feeling of three thousand guests raised by the ancient Meng Weijun, but the little prince Zhao Tianming was not, from the beginning of perceiving this sign, Zhao Tianming began to learn from his second brother to close the door, and read in the mansion with peace of mind, refusing almost all the officials' visits, and the second prince Zhao Tianyuan, who has been closed, naturally will not jump out stupidly at this time, so between the three princes, it has not been too affected, and still maintains a balanced situation。
Zhao Tianming didn't know that this rare balance situation had been directly broken by the people of the Great Prince's faction just yesterday.
When he saw the old man of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Liu coming in, Zhao Tianming was still a little surprised, he hurriedly got up and saluted, and said with a smile: "Why did the old man come to visit the Heavenly Mandate today? Heavenly Destiny is flattered." ”
Seeing the little prince's face, the old man couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, and said excitedly: "Your Highness, you have to be the master of the old man!"
Zhao Tianming was stunned, you know, the six Shangshu are the country's first-class officials, it can be said that the hands are turned into clouds and hands are rained, and the status and grade are only below the national teacher and the prime minister, even in the Yingtian City of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, who can let a dignified Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites be so wronged that he should be so excited to run to his own house to pray for the master?
"Sir, please take a seat. Zhao Tianming hurriedly stepped forward to help Master Liu sit down, and then asked suspiciously: "Boss, what happened to you, you were wronged like this, you told Tianming that as long as Tianming can do it, he will definitely make decisions for your old man." ”
Old Man Liu remembered the grievances of the Tiancheng Mansion, and immediately burst into tears, and muttered: "Your Highness, Your Highness, he ...... He's so deceitful!"
Hearing these three words of His Royal Highness, the little prince's face instantly became much more solemn. As for the thoughts in the heart of the eldest prince, almost everyone in Yingtian City knows it, and his eldest brother has never concealed his dragon chair for his father
yearning and desire, so all along, will be regarded as the biggest enemy in front of the throne, Zhao Tianming often feels extremely helpless because of this, as the saying goes, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, he has tried many times to mend the relationship with this big brother, but all ended in failure, he is sometimes very glad that he has such a high talent and strength, sometimes but a little troubled, in fact, many times, Zhao Tianming is very yearning for his second brother Zhao Tianyuan's way of living, life is comfortable and enjoyable, do not have to beware of this and that every day。
In his heart, when Elder Liu mentioned the three words of His Royal Highness, he had already roughly guessed what was going on, but he still looked at the Boss and muttered, "Boss, if you say something directly, the Mandate of Heaven will definitely do its best to help you." ”
Old Man Liu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said sadly: " Yesterday I drove to the street to buy things, but I was the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Li Erhe and the Ministry of Industry Lang Du Wenqi two people, driving a fierce horse Gao Xuan to hit, almost seriously injured lying on the street, the old man in this life, when was such an insult, they were pulled to the Yamen of Yingtianfu, Lord Cao did not dare to do anything to deal with the old man can understand, but that Li Erhe and Du Wenqi are too shameless, clever words, actually pushed their responsibilities away, relying on the old man is unwilling to pierce the window paper between you and His Royal Highness, so he repeatedly forced the old man, the old man fainted on the court, these two people have ill intentions!”
Zhao Tianming was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then he frowned and said, "Boss, do you mean that the eldest brother has already made up his mind to be my enemy?"
"Your Highness, the old man's humiliation is small, but this Li Erhe and Du Wenqi are clearly the war letters sent by His Royal Highness!" Old Master Liu muttered: "The old man has a close relationship with you, this is something that the adults in the entire court know, and the relationship between the Ministry of Industry and His Royal Highness, everyone also knows it, there has never been any contradiction between the old man and his Li Erhe, how can his chariot and horse collide at such a time? This is clearly trying to provoke a war!"
Zhao Tianming sat down and drank a few sips of tea on the table, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "Boss, don't worry, this matter, Tianming will definitely ask for an explanation for you." ”
......
......
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Liu is very popular with the seven tricks of smoke, but the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Li Erhe and the Ministry of Industry Lang Du Wenqi two adults, at this time the mood can be described as a fish jumping into the sea, the two sat in the lake pavilion on the island of Jiulong Lake in the Qingwang Mansion, drinking the best sake, to the great prince Zhao Tianyi His Royal Highness depicted yesterday's everything, when it comes to the fun, they can't help but laugh and clap their hands.
Zhao Tianyi smiled, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said: "This matter, the two adults have done a really beautiful job, this cup of wine Tianyi respects the two of you, and when the day comes, in the new era, there will definitely be a world for the two adults." ”
Li Erhe and Du Wenqi hurriedly got up, respectfully raised their wine glasses and drank them all, and then said to the eldest prince with a sneer: "It is the honor of Erhe and Wenqi to be able to serve Your Highness, the son of destiny, Your Highness, you are a dragon face, you look rich and noble, or the eldest son of Your Majesty, who else is qualified to sit on this throne besides you?"
After the sycophant shooting, Li Erhe thought that His Royal Highness the eldest prince would be as happy as ever, but he didn't expect the whole scene to fall into embarrassment
In embarrassment, looking at His Royal Highness's somewhat ugly face, Li Erhe reacted to what a big mistake he had made when the Son of Destiny said it just now, hurriedly slapped his mouth, and muttered: "Your Highness, the old man is confused, he has no other meaning, you don't remember the villain, don't take it to heart." ”
The expression on the face of the eldest prince Zhao Tianyi was a little unhappy, and he said in a deep voice: "The boss will drink some tea first and wake up the bar, it's better not to talk about these words in the future." ”
Li Erhe hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Your Highness has taught you, Your Highness has taught you." ”
If the old man of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Liu was also in this lake pavilion at this time, he would definitely smile from ear to ear, where did Li Erhe still have the momentum of a first-class master at this time, and where was the rampant energy in the Yingtianfu Ya, groveling was like an old dog that His Royal Highness the Great Prince had raised for many years.
Zhao Tianyi looked at the lakes and mountains outside the pavilion, and asked in a low voice, "Father's health, has it improved recently?"
Li Erhe muttered: "Back to Your Highness, according to the imperial doctor in the palace, Your Majesty's dragon body is still so old, although a lot of elixirs have been used, but it still has no effect. ”
"There are no outsiders here. Zhao Tianyi took a deep breath, and then said, "Master Li, you just tell me directly, how long can the old man last." ”
Although he had long known the thoughts of the eldest prince, as soon as he suddenly heard such rebellious words, Li Erhe and Lord Li were still stunned for a moment before he trembled and said: "Back to Your Highness, if nothing happens, Your Majesty's longevity should be around the beginning of spring next year." ”
"Spring ...... next year" The eldest prince smiled and said, "There is still half a year, what will has been left by the old man?"
"Your Majesty's side, it is said that I have always been very fond of His Royal Highness. Li Erhe pondered for a long time before he said.
"I still like the third child very much. Zhao Tianyi sighed, shook his head helplessly, hearing this, although he already knew it, he still had a lot of unhappiness.
In fact, although Zhao Tianyi is a little inferior to Zhao Tianyuan Zhao Tianyi, but if he is placed in the long river of history, compared with all the princes, Zhao Tianyi can definitely be ranked upstream, he has his own ideas, his own ambitions, his own ambitions, and his own love for this country and this land, he is eager for power, eager to step on the peak, and eager to be able to show his ambitions after having power, and write a rich stroke in the history books for the world to admire.
But he had such a younger brother as Zhao Tianming.
This younger brother Tianzong Genius has a talent that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve on the path of cultivation, and is regarded as a model by the younger generation of the entire Chu State, and has unparalleled popularity and fame in the Chu State.
Moreover, this mountain is still his younger brother, and he should have been left behind.
If he wanted to ascend to the throne, he had to climb over the mountain.
That's why he has so much hostility towards Zhao Tianfang.
No one can stop him from realizing his life values.
Even if it's a younger brother, it's not good.
PS: Twenty-three years old, I wish myself a happy birthday.
