The prince was startled, his face suddenly became fierce and cold, although he still had a smile on his face, but the smile was involuntarily terrifying. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Sir, he gave us a great opportunity when the arrow was ready......" The prince looked at his predecessor and chuckled softly.

"What chance?"

"Five days later, he will go to the Temple of Heaven on Shenlie Mountain in the northern part of the city to worship the heavens......" the prince said with a smile, word by word.

Fan Rui was taken aback: "Your Highness's meaning, it must be ......"

The prince smiled and nodded: "Yes, the hidden dragon goes to sea, although he is armed with the power of wind and thunder, but after all, he is already a hidden dragon that has left the sea, why be afraid?" At that time, several princes in the capital, and officials above the fourth rank followed, those who wanted to kill, those who wanted to stay, these people were all among them. - Sir, isn't this a great opportunity? ”

A little surprise flashed on Fan Rui's face, and then he disappeared quickly, frowning and wondering, "How does Your Highness plan to move?" ”

The prince smiled, and laughed extremely fiercely and resentfully: "Without him, slay the dragon!" ”

Fan Rui was shocked when he heard this.

Killing the king, killing the father, if this act is known to the world......

The prince ignored Fan Rui's frightened expression and said to himself, "...... There are more than 30,000 forbidden troops in total, and he can't bring them all with him this time to worship the sky, at most more than 10,000 people, and the four-way army guarding the capital, although there are many people, but if they are not edicted, they will never dare to act rashly, otherwise they will be detained with a hat of rebellion, so we just need to exterminate all the more than 10,000 forbidden troops who took him out of the capital, and then capture him alive or ...... Killed, the whole world is lonely, at that time Lone announced to the outside world, the father of the emperor is seriously ill, has died on the way to the Shenlie Mountain sacrifice, Lone will follow the officials together, do not follow the killing, then the word of the people, Lone ascended to the Great Treasure, that is, the emperor's throne will be logical......"

"Then what about the other princes?" Fan Rui couldn't help but ask.

The prince's face twitched: "Those princes because of the sudden death of their father, so they fought on the way back to Beijing because of the throne, and finally they also transferred troops to attack the forbidden army, trying to usurp the throne as the emperor, Lone can't bear to see fratricide, and never allow these royal brothers to fight in the same room in front of their father's spirit, so Lone in the name of the prince transferred troops to separate them, unexpectedly they were stubborn, still led the army to attack each other, Lone couldn't stop it, so I had to watch these royal brothers killed in the chaos of the army......"

Saying that, the prince laughed, looked at Fan Rui and said, "Sir, I don't know if this is explained, will the people of the world believe it?" ”

If the situation is really as the prince expected, then this explanation could not be better, not only can the fight with the forbidden army be cleverly covered, but also kill those princes who competed with the prince, but also won the prestige of the prince among the people, killing three birds with one stone, it is really an excellent explanation.

But...... The emperor sacrifices to the sky, is it really so simple?

Fan Rui's eyes were full of worry, and he frowned at the prince and said, "Your Highness, you should think twice about this matter." Your Royal Highness imagines, the emperor is now seriously ill in bed, but at this moment when he is about to depose you, he suddenly decided to go out of the city to worship the sky, there must be something strange in this, and I suspect that this is a trap carefully arranged by the emperor, and I have to guard against it......"

The prince nodded and said: "Mr. thinks about it, Lone also feels that his father's sacrifice to the sky is strange, he has been sick for a long time, and he has long been bad at it, and suddenly said that he wants to sacrifice to the sky, it is inevitable that there is fraud in it, but ......"

The prince turned his head to look at Fan Rui, his eyes were already full of excitement and greed: "...... However, don't you think that although this time is extremely risky, the accompanying gains are also very huge? As long as the 10,000 forbidden troops accompanying are exterminated, the whole world will be in the palm of Lone's hand, let me overturn, and then the Lone King will come to the world and become the king of kings, and all the people in the world will surrender and worship at Lone's feet......"

The prince licked his lips excitedly, unconsciously out of shape, and said with a light eye: "...... Sir, Lone has strength, Lone has nearly 100,000 troops, one is on the side of the capital, the other is south of the Yellow River, under the attack of the two armies, even if he has any traps, in the face of strong strength, there is still no need to worry, sir, do you say it makes sense? ”

Fan Rui looked at the prince worriedly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness......"

The prince came back from his excitement, looked at Fan Rui's worried eyes, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sir, Lone knows what you have to say, yes, Lone also realizes that this may be a trap...... But, sir, does Lone still have a choice? Five days later, the father returned to Beijing from the Shenlie Mountain sacrifice, if nothing else, he will hold a big court meeting, convene the three princes and nine ministers and the ministers, and review the deposition of the prince......

"Sir, the situation is so critical, even if it is a trap, Lone has to take a risk, if Lone loses the position of this prince, it is better to die in the trap he set for Lone now."

Fan Rui looked at the prince heavily, sighed, and finally nodded.

The prince exhaled softly, as if exhaling the depression in his chest, and calmed down, and his elegant smile returned to his face.

"Sir, send a letter to General Chai in Youzhou, within five days, order him to lead his soldiers and soldiers to the foot of Shenlie Mountain, tell him to pay attention to hiding the whereabouts of the army, send spies along the way to investigate carefully, and send him a transfer order from the military department, if you encounter checkpoints along the way, you can deal with it temporarily."

"Yes."

"In addition, the army of the lonely private placement, you also sent a letter to the past, the whole army is on alert, ready to go, and will march to Shenlie Mountain in five days!"

"Yes."

A strange smile appeared on the prince's face, five days later, nearly 100,000 troops surrounded Shenlie Mountain, father, will you still be as lucky as Pan Wenyuan rebelled this time, insist on waiting for reinforcements?

Fan Rui looked at the prince with a somewhat crazy smile on his face, and suddenly felt a piercing cold, and his heart seemed to fall into hell, sinking all the way......

※※※

As soon as the early dynasty dispersed, Ren Xiaoyao boarded the carriage and returned home before the spring rain fell.

His face was gloomy, and when he entered the door, he ignored the greetings from the people, and went back to the small courtyard, and when he entered the door, he fell to the bed without taking off his shoes, and fell asleep regardless of it.

Many people gathered outside the small courtyard, with puzzled expressions.

This young master, who always smiles on weekdays, as if he lacks roots in everything, what happened to him in the past two days?

No one can tell.

They only knew that since the young master came back from the palace three days ago, he was full of worries, always with a straight face, and even his words were much less than usual.

The young master of the Ren family was unhappy, and the people began to worry about him. What happened to the always optimistic and cheerful young master that made him unhappy for several days? Could it be related to the recent changes in the situation in Beijing?

The ones who are most worried about Ren Yao, of course, are his wives.

Yanran, Sister Feng and Xiao Lu stood at the door of Ren Xiaoyao's bedroom, staring at the tightly closed door with beautiful eyebrows, hesitating for a while.

"What's going on with my husband these days?" Yanran's two willow eyebrows frowned tightly, and her delicate face like a flower gradually added a little sadness.

"Yes, every day except for the court, he goes home to sleep, his face is like a piece of pig iron, cold and hard, what happened to him in the court?" Sister Feng was also as sad as Yanran.

Xiao Lu said softly: "Is it that the young master has been busy with state affairs recently, too hard, too tired, so he will keep a straight face?" ”

Yan Ran and Sister Feng looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

If it is said that their husband is tired and hard because of state affairs, he does not even believe them as wives.

It's not that this husband is tired of working hard, it's all tired of eating, drinking, and playing, but he has never been tired of working on state affairs, and only Xiaolu, the youngest and most heartless sister, would say so.

"Do you want to send someone to send a message to the princess in the palace?" Sister Feng hesitated.

Yan Ran thought about it, shook her head and said: "It's still not necessary, the emperor is seriously ill now, and my sister is serving the emperor in the palace, she is already very sad, if Fujun worries her again, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it......"

Sister Feng bit her lip, looked at Yan Ran with pretty eyes, and said softly, "Why don't you ...... You go in and talk to him? He likes you the most and listens to you the most......"

Yanran blinked and smiled: "Look at what you said, doesn't he like you on weekdays?" A few days ago, he was lying in the corner outside the wing room and peeking at you taking a shower......"

Sister Feng's face turned red in an instant, and she said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, how can there be such a thing......"

Yanran smiled: "I didn't talk nonsense, I don't believe you didn't know at the time, when he peeked at you, he screamed something 'Yiku, Yiku', and the whole yard heard it......"

Saying that, Yanran winked at Sister Feng and said, "...... I saw that the oil lamp in the wing room was turned on brighter, hehe, you deliberately pretended not to know, and then deliberately let him peek to see more clearly, right? ”

Sister Feng's pretty face was as red as a freshly ripe pomegranate, and she said to herself: "Nonsense! I didn't even know he was out there...... That shameless guy often does this stealing and touching dogs, who of us hasn't been peeked at by him in the shower? Hum! Don't laugh at anyone, you can't run! ”

Saying that, Sister Feng's face turned even redder, and she covered her face and smiled: "...... Don't you know that after that shameless guy peeked at it, he also got the best body award, the best beautiful leg award, and the best big breasts award......"

Yan Ran's pretty face also turned red, and she glared at Sister Feng with disgust, then turned her beautiful eyes, looked at Xiao Lu and said with a smile: "Xiao Lu, my husband loves you so much on weekdays, and I have always held you in the palm of my hand, and now my husband is unhappy, you can go in and ask him." ”

Xiao Lu flickered, and then hurriedly waved his little hand, and said with a bitter face: "No, I only know how to serve the young master, and I don't understand anything else......"

Yanran gritted her teeth and said, "Don't push it, let's go in together, my husband treats us well, even if he is unhappy, he won't scold us, let's go." ”

In the bedroom, Ren Xiaoyao was still asleep, although he had slept for several days, his face was still a little tired, even if he fell asleep, his brows were furrowed tightly, as if he was not even happy in a dream.

When the third daughter saw Ren Xiaoyao looking so tired, her heart suddenly ached, and her eyes turned red in an instant.

Yan Ran stepped forward, stretched out her slender hand, and gently smoothed Ren Xiaoyao's frowning brows, who knew that her brows had just flattened, and she wrinkled tightly.

Yan Ran couldn't help but shed tears, and said softly: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Seeing Ren Xiaoyao lying on the bed horizontally, with no quilt covered and no pillow under his head, Yan Ran took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, then picked up Ren Xiaoyao's head and gently put it on his thigh, so that he could sleep more comfortably.

Sister Feng and Xiao Lu also took off Ren Xiaoyao's shoes, and covered him with a thin quilt, and the three girls surrounded Ren Xiaoyao motionlessly, looking at his sleeping face stupidly, the sunset outside the window was gradually sinking, and the entire bedroom was shrouded in a golden light, and the whole picture was beautiful and serene.

It wasn't until it was dark that Ren Xiaoyao woke up.

Before he could open his eyes, he felt a faint fragrance coming from the tip of his nose, and then felt a warm fragrant nephrite under his head, which made people can't help but revel in it.

"Who is this? Who put such a big piece of cotton on top of me? Ren Xiaoyao closed his eyes and said lazily.

"Huh? This lump of cotton is actually very elastic...... Wow, bounce over, wow! Bounced it over again......"

Yan Ran sneered and said softly: "Husband, don't make trouble, when you wake up, hurry up and wash up and get ready to eat." ”

Ren Xiaoyao hugged Yanran with his backhand, his head resting on her lap, and murmured, "What kind of food, let me lie down for a while......"

The three girls smiled, then looked up at each other a few times, Yanran lowered her head, and asked softly, "What's wrong with my husband these days?" It's been sullen, you know, we're all ...... I'm worried about you. ”

Ren Xiaoyao looked stunned, then sighed, sat up, looked at the third girl with a look of concern, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I'm fine." -- The situation between the DPRK and China is critical, and I am ...... that a life-and-death struggle is about to begin again. I'm so tired of that......"

The third girl quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, blinked her beautiful big eyes, and said coquettishly: "The husband is depressed about this? ”

Ren Xiaoyao was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe...... And that's not all. To be honest, I actually ...... I don't want to be an official anymore. ”

The three girls looked at each other, and then looked at each other, and Ren Yao's words made them feel a little inexplicable.

Ren Xiaoyao himself didn't know why he suddenly had this thought, since the emperor asked him to be orphaned in the palace a few days ago, the conversation of that day still flashed in his mind from time to time.

The emperor's expectations for him, his generosity, and his ...... Defense, made him feel both moved and sad, as well as a little disappointed and cold, these feelings were mixed together, somehow, made him faintly retreat.

Ren Xiaoyao was scared. This time, I felt scared from the bottom of my heart. The ruthless emperor's family, for the sake of the country, anyone can take it out and sacrifice, so if the fat man ascends the throne as the emperor in the future, will he do this to himself?

Maybe today he can still be called a brother and sister to the fat man, when he ascends the throne, it can be imagined that he must also follow the rising tide and be a very good minister, but ...... What about five years from now? What about ten years from now? Will fat people still treat themselves like they do now? Will he still be the honest and honest fat man he is today? When he holds the power in his hands and the light has gradually covered the fat man, the emperor, is the fat man still unconcerned?

If, years later, when the fat emperor's mind is mature, when he feels that his existence has hindered the path of his emperor, what should he do at that time? Stick out your head and let this former classmate and friend, the brother in distress, order to be killed, or simply rebel like Pan Shangshu and the prince, and become the emperor himself?

Ren Xiaoyao smiled bitterly.

He didn't want either.

He just wants to be like the vast majority of young masters, with his minions all over the street to tease women, walk dogs and play birds and crickets, but the situation is pressing, after many years, what will become between him and the fat man, who can predict?

Slowly glancing at the three girls in front of him, Ren Xiaoyao rubbed his face vigorously and said with a smile: "If one day I am not an official, will you dislike your husband for being just a businessman covered in copper smell?" ”

The three girls looked at each other and smiled, Yanran lightly nodded Ren Xiaoyao's head, and said with a smile: "How can we dislike you?" You don't look like an official in the first place, but you are still crooked, and you have made so many contributions to the court, God really doesn't have a long eye......"

Ren Xiaoyao said with a smile: "After I push the fat man to the position of the prince this time, I will resign, okay?" Let's find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in seclusion. ”

The third girl couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Really? Did you really quit your job? Great, to be honest, you often encounter some dangerous things in front of this official, and several of us are so worried, for fear that you have something long and short...... It would be great if you resigned, and we will find a place to live in seclusion according to what you said......"

Ren Xiaoyao looked at them, saw that they were all happy, and couldn't help but smile apologetically: "These days when I have been an official, I have made you worry and afraid, and when everything is resolved, I will resign immediately from this broken official, who likes to be whom." ”

Yanran nodded and smiled: "Okay, okay, husband, let's find a beautiful land, buy a few acres of fertile land, build a grass house, and dig a fish pond, during the day, you fish by the fish pond, we accompany you, at night, light an oil lamp, we paint, compose poems, and sing tunes for you......"

The more Yan Ran spoke, the more excited she became, her beautiful big eyes flashed with joy, and Sister Feng and Xiao Lu also listened to it with a look of longing, and their pretty faces were more charming.

Ren Xiaoyao touched his chin and said, "It sounds pretty good......"

Immediately, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly asked, "Where's the wine?" How can you compose a song without wine? Where does the wine I drink come from? ”

Yan Ran paused, and then smiled: "We can make our own wine, grow our own grain, and then brew it ourselves." ”

"That'...... What about the cook? If I want to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, I have to hire a cook, right? ”

Yan Ran shook again, and then hesitated: "Seclusion in the world, please ...... Cook? Isn't coarse tea and light rice just as delicious? ”

Ren Xiaoyao frowned in displeasure.

"That'...... There must be a few painting boats nearby, right? What if I'm in the mood and want to drink flower wine? ”

Yan Ran nodded his head angrily, and said angrily: "It's not enough for you to have our sisters, and you want to go outside to drink flower wine?" ”

"That's it......" Ren Xiaoyao touched his chin and stood up: "...... Seclusion, well, think about it, think about it, think about it......"

Saying that, Ren Xiaoyao put on his shoes, walked out with his hands in a deep voice, and said something in his mouth: "Make your own wine?" What should I do if formaldehyde exceeds the standard? Without a cook, what if I want to eat the Eight Treasures Feast? Who has ever seen the young master eat coarse tea and light rice? It's even worse if you don't have a painting boat, it's a daily necessities...... Well, it's not appropriate to live in seclusion for the time being, it's very inappropriate......"

Ren Xiaoyao's face was heavy, and he walked out of the door all the way, floating like a ghost to an unknown place Ren ......

Only the three girls were left in the room looking at each other, their expressions were like crying and laughing, which was very weird.

Yan Ran collapsed her fragrant shoulders and said with a pout: "I was wrong...... I shouldn't have mentioned this to him! ”

Sister Feng bit her lip and said hatefully: "This guy is a drunkard by nature, you tell him to live in seclusion, it is easier to persuade the tiger to eat grass......"

Xiao Lu, who had no heart in the city, was also busy nodding and agreed: "That's it." ”

Ren Xiaoyao has always thought that seclusion is a very comfortable and elegant thing, picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan, a cup of tea, a pot of wine, a book, a story, and savoring life in leisure, at least he thinks that such a secluded life is actually very good, just like a vacation.

But think about it carefully, seclusion is not as simple as imagined, first of all, we must solve the problem of dressing and eating, after all, this is just seclusion, and not becoming an immortal, no matter how fluttering and dusty, but still have to eat, drink and Lazar, the kind of street that looks like a fairy wind and bones, catch people and give people a batch of eight characters, turn their heads and big fish and meat "outside the world", that is not called a fairy, that is called a god.

After thinking about this problem seriously, Ren Xiaoyao finally gave up the idea of living in seclusion in despair. Not to mention anything else, the thirty-year-old Chen's daughter Hong, whom Young Master Ren usually likes to drink, will definitely not be able to buy it in the wild village. There is definitely no paradise for the Eight Treasures Banquet in the Yuelou, not to mention the girl who sings the song, the juggling of all kinds of tricks, the gentleman of the storytelling building, and the sultry and soul-hooking girl of the Qinglou Red Card......

- Lao Tzu said: "The small is hidden in the wilderness, the middle is hidden in the city, and the big is hidden in the court." "We are not high or low, we are a generation of influential figures, let's come to the middle and find a prosperous place to live in seclusion, and still cultivate oneself.

Looking up at the sky, it was already the time to hold the lamp, Ren Xiaoyao thought about it, and then ordered his subordinates to prepare the car, and he got into the carriage and went straight to the Fuwang Mansion.

After spending so much manpower and material resources, I don't know if the prince will obediently get into the trap, there are many things that must be talked to the fat man, and it is time for him to start deploying. As for what the relationship between him and Ren Xiaoyao will become if the fat man successfully becomes the crown prince, or even after he becomes the throne, don't pay attention to it for the time being, and talk about it when the dust settles.

Ren Xiaoyao is a frequent visitor to the Fuwang Mansion, the carriage traveled to the door of the Fuwang Mansion, and the guards guarding the door saluted him, and then hurriedly led him in.

Stepping into the apse, the fat man is lying on the bookcase to deal with official business, the side of the bookcase is lit with two arm-thick red candles, a graceful woman is obediently serving him to eat, only to see the fat man holding a pen and a book, chewing in his mouth, from time to time he looks up and drinks a sip of wine, and then shows a simple smile to the woman, and the small life is full and comfortable.

The woman who served him was the one who had been forcibly redeemed from the painting boat last time.

Ren Xiaoyao frowned secretly when he saw this woman, and the shadow probed for many days and did not find out the details of this curl, only to know that she was from a certain place in the south of the Yangtze River, and the mother of Penglai Xianzhou was a fellow villager. The background is very old-fashioned, Ren Xiaoyao is a little suspicious of this, and at the same time he is more vigilant about this woman. ――A woman who can't even find out the details of the shadow, her identity is definitely not as simple as the red card girl in the Qinglou.
