"Why can't Your Highness make up your mind?" Facing the hesitation of the four princes, the man who looked like a military general on the opposite side was a little indignant, "You have never been so hesitant and hesitant!" ”

In this far area, the folk customs are rough, and the relationship with people is not very particular about personal status, and more attention is paid to like-mindedness, although the four princes are very handsome, but the temperament is very happy, so they were assigned to this northwest border to integrate into the local area so quickly, and they are loved by these generals and foreign races.

At this time, seeing the appearance of the fourth prince Yu Wenqi who was afraid of wolves and tigers, Chu Bai, the military attache opposite, was a little unhappy.

The fourth prince drank the residual wine in the cup in one gulp, sighed, and looked a little helpless, "You don't know the reason for this." I'm different from my brothers, my original name wasn't Yuwen Qi at all, but Yuwen Qi! ”

"How so?" Chu Bai said in surprise, and suddenly thought crookedly. "Aren't you the emperor's own son? It's not right, if you are not the prince, the emperor is afraid that he will not allow you to survive. ”

Yu Wenqi smiled bitterly, "Don't guess, I'll tell you." ”

It turned out that Yuwenqi's mother was just a palace maid who the emperor occasionally had, and then she became pregnant and gave birth to four princes. At that time, the queen was also pregnant, and when she heard that the palace maid gave birth, she didn't know how to make a big fuss. Originally, the fetus was unstable, and the fetal gas was moved for a while, but who knew that Lu Dao had a miscarriage, and he died not long after the miscarriage. Although Yuwenji has a lot of concubines in the harem, he still has true feelings for his original wife, and he wanted to kill the mother and son of the four princes at that time.

"Although it is said on the surface that my mother is afraid of suicide, I know that she is for me." That's it. The fourth prince sighed deeply and said, "According to my grandmother, who has been taking care of me later, my mother begged my father for help. It saved my life, and in its place was her suicide. Even so, my father was deeply disgusted with me, wishing that it had never existed. Otherwise, how could I have been sent to this place as soon as I was thirteen years old? ”

Her mother was forced to commit suicide, and she was rejected by her father and thrown into this desolate northwestern frontier. Not a very pleasant memory by any means. Chu Bai deeply regretted that he had lost his words, he was a little at a loss, he was a rough man. He didn't even say anything apologetic, only two dry sentences, "I'm really sorry, I didn't know that His Royal Highness Dao Dao's life experience was so bumpy." ”

"Don't mind too much. After all, it's been a long time. I'm not in that much pain anymore. Yuwenqi himself was calmer, "I can understand my father's anger, but I suspect that something was wrong back then. ”

"What does that mean? Could it be that there is still a secret to what happened back then? Chu Bai gasped and said, no wonder people say that the palace is not a place for people to go, it is really dangerous.

"The queen mother has always been generous and generous, solemn and self-controlled, and has the prince and favor, and her position is very stable. Why was he suddenly angry because a little palace maid gave birth. Alarmed fetal gas to the point of miscarriage? And the queen's body has never been bad to that point, and she will take her life after a miscarriage? ”

The Four Princes thought of this. The brows couldn't help but tighten, "I haven't given up investigating this matter all these years, some time ago I found out a piece of news that seems to be quite worth paying attention to, the queen mother also persuaded her father after the miscarriage that it has nothing to do with our mother and son, don't be angry." If it was really my mother's affairs that disturbed me so much, she would definitely not help me intercede with my mother. ”

At that time, the queen's position was so stable, and the other concubines were not without children, and the mother of the fourth prince was pregnant, and she also knew the Tao, and she also sealed a talented person to the general, how could she be so annoyed? Thinking of the information he has collected over the years, Yuwenqi is very suspicious that his mother has been poisoned by someone like the queen, but there is no evidence after many years.

"Your Highness, even for the sake of your mother, you have to fight!" Chu Bai began to turn around again at this time to persuade the four princes to compete for the throne, but with his level of cultural rhetoric, he was also consciously euphemistic.

"I know that if I really become the prince, I can go and investigate that matter clearly, and the person behind the act will vomit to death." Thinking of this, Yuwenqi also showed a faint smile on his face, "Fighting must be fought, but there is no need to be in such a hurry." Moreover, the most important thing is not for the truth of the year. ”

"What's that for? Glory and wealth, above tens of thousands of people? Chu Bai asked.

Yu Wenqi drank a few glasses of wine, and there was a slight drunkenness on his face, and he tied his black hair like ink satin with a ribbon. Faced with Chu Bai's question, he suddenly stood up, slammed the door curtain, and walked out of the tulou.

Outside the door is the endless expanse of the earth, the gray clouds press the sky very low, the north wind howls sadly, shuttle, the time is close to evening, there are several families in the distance cooking, the smoke rises for a while and then disperses like a fog.

In the distance is the blue-gray city wall, behind the battlements on the city wall, faintly revealing the light red sun and the dead branches of the trees in autumn and winter, the gray cloud lonely city, the boundless earth, although it is such a desolate scenery, it cannot be denied the magnificence in it. Compared to the small and remote courtyard in the palace, all his happiness came from this.

"Look at this vast land, how vast, if I want to protect him, I naturally have to ascend to the position that can affect everyone's fate, including myself!"

The eyes of the person who said this were amazingly bright, and Chu Bai looked at his best friend who had been friends for ten years, and suddenly felt that his heart was also surging. "Well, if you can really get to that place, at least there will be no shortage of our military funds, and the soldiers will be able to pay more money and have a full meal."

He is not surprised by the mentality of Yuwenqi, the foreign race is fierce, there are many wolf ambitions, ambitious people, and the northwest is desolate, there are few people and thin land, and there are foreign tribes who often come to harass, and the people of Li live very hard, and they resist very hard. Originally, the military budget was insufficient, and the group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials also deducted the military expenses for grain and grass, which seemed to be even more stretched.

"It's not a long-term solution to always rely on the help of a mountain villa like Million Mountain Villa." Hearing Chu Bai mention the issue of military spending, Yu Wenqi was also troubled when he thought about it, "They are already very helpful, half of the income in a year supports us, it is still not enough, we still have to find a way." ”

Of course, the best solution is to become the emperor himself, and if it doesn't work for the time being, the crown prince is fine. However, the competition for the prince is not something that can be done at one time, and you have to think of another shortcut.

The fourth prince didn't expect that someone in the capital thousands of miles away was discussing him and thinking about how to give him some help.

"Miss, what do you think of the emperor's meaning?" Replacing Chunwei's work is Jin He, she has always been a steady woman, and even her voice is calm and gentle at this time. "The emperor intends to let several princes perform in the war against Zhang Chen's two families, and choose one of them, and now it seems that the most advantageous is the third prince."

"The second prince is elegant and more literate, the third prince is a military general, his mother is the Lu family, and the other princes are younger and have not cultivated their own strength, so it is normal for the third prince to have an advantage." Yin Susu flipped through the documents handed over by Jin He, and while browsing quickly, he said a little carelessly.

"But if you really let the third prince gain power, aren't you worried, miss?" A sad look appeared on Jin He's face, now Yin Susu and Liang Zi of the three princes are not small, if any prince is on the throne, but the three princes are on the throne, Yin Susu definitely doesn't think that he can get out of the way.

"The one who jumps out first may not be the one who wins the most, and now it looks like there is an advantage, which may not be a good thing, and the person who laughs the most is the winner." Yin Susu said lightly, "It doesn't matter, I still have a hole card in my hand that can destroy him in one fell swoop." ”

What are the hole cards, Yin Susu is impossible to say, Jin He selectively skipped not to ask, but asked, "For what Miss Lu, you said that there is an advantage instead of a good thing?" ”

Yin Susu seemed to have watched the time for the Third Prince and Lu Pingzhi to suffer, and a sneer appeared on his face. "Although the heir is also being re-chosen, the emperor's love for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still the same, right?"

"This is true, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is definitely the emperor's favorite son, and now there is no way."

"Do you think, dancing happily at this time, isn't it showing that you have long coveted the position of the crown prince and looking forward to the early death of His Royal Highness the prince?" Yin Susu had already finished seven or eight pages of content in a very short period of time, and at this time he concentrated on explaining to Jin He, "The emperor will definitely think so, so the more positive the performance of the third prince, the more the emperor thinks that he has bad intentions towards the prince, and he himself has bad deeds." And the people on His Royal Highness the Prince's side will also be dissatisfied with the Third Prince, and his side is not small. ”

"Can't the third prince see this?" Jin He was a little puzzled and said, "I feel that the third prince is still shrewd." ”

"This is not necessarily, after all, it is also beneficial to be active now, at least to prove your ability." Yin Susu said, "The temperament of the second prince is not suitable for being an emperor, Lu Guifei can't see it clearly." The fourth prince has a good ability, but it's a pity that he was born, and the other princes also have some shortcomings, and now it seems that the third prince is actually the most outstanding. He probably understood that after all, the other princes were not as suitable as him. ”

"You can't watch him become a prince like this, do you?" Jin He asked tentatively.

"It's not okay, it's a big taboo." Yin Susu misses Chunwei a little, at least Chunwei won't ask such a thing, but she can't help but explain it to Jin He, otherwise it will be troublesome in the future.

"Besides, the most important revenge at the moment, as long as I can do this, I can endure anything." It's been ten years, and the blood feud can be avenged soon, and Yin Susu will do everything possible to ensure the smooth progress of this matter.

Besides, she does have the key hole cards in her hand that can tear the three princes from the sky and clouds and fall into the dirt in one fell swoop! (To be continued......)
