Chapter 82: Raise a glass and get drunk alone, drink the snow
A song and a sigh, a lifetime for one person
Prince Qi straightened his body and glanced at the silent ministers with a contemptuous face, "Although the eleventh prince is much calmer, and he is the prince whom His Majesty loves and trusts, but as Lord Chen said, the identity of the eleventh prince is not suitable now."

"That's true." Someone sighed and agreed.
After pondering for a moment, the Seventh Master continued: "It's me who didn't think it through. β
"The prince trusts his brother and uses people without suspicion, so he is naturally very good."
The Seventh Master raised his hand to stop the person from continuing to pat himself, and asked with a frown: "If this is the case, then who can take on the second responsibility?" β
"Actually, Weichen thinks that the Eighth Prince is suitable, although the Eighth Prince does not ask about political affairs all the year round, but he is modest and steady, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think?"
"It's not proper, the eighth prince doesn't know about the affairs of the army, and he can't get started immediately."
"Lord Liu is right, the eighth brother is indeed not familiar with political affairs, and the eighth brother has been unwilling to enter the court for many years, and he will definitely be willing." The seventh master rubbed his eyebrows, looking very distressed.
Prince Qi smiled, his laughter was hearty, and he was particularly abrupt in the entire south study, "Actually, there is one person who is familiar with military affairs and has a lot of prestige, why have you forgotten?" β
The courtiers pondered for a while, and the military department Shangshu said tentatively: "The prince is saying, the third prince? β
"Exactly." Prince Qi replied, "Although the third prince was reprimanded and punished by His Majesty before, he was idle at home and ignored political affairs, but the third prince has also helped His Majesty solve his worries in the imperial court for many years, and he is familiar with all the affairs of the imperial court, and he is also the best choice now." β
"But the third prince was ordered by His Majesty to be grounded in the mansion, will it be inappropriate to do so?"
"yes." "yes."
"What your lords say is reasonable," the seventh master said, "It's just that at the time of the imperial court's employment, although the third brother was confined to the mansion by his father before, the time of the ban has already expired, presumably if I return to my father, my father will agree." β
"Yes."

It was already evening when the discussion was over, and the adults outside the south study walked out back and forth.
"I haven't congratulated Prince Qi yet, the lord of Hua'an County has given the marriage to the crown prince, I am very happy!"
"Yes, congratulations to Prince Qi!"
"Haha, rejoicing and rejoicing!" Prince Qi returned the salute, greeted the adults, and saw the official father and Lord Lin Xunlin of the Marquis Wenyuan Mansion talking and walking out.
"What are the officials and Lin muttering again? Don't you say something you can't hear? Yes? Ha ha! Prince Qi looked at his official father and said proudly.
"Prince Qi laughed, where are there so many unsightly things?! It's just gossip. The official father set aside a thousand catties in two or two, and in just a few words, he dismissed Prince Qi's rather aggressive words.
"Heh, I have long seen the eloquence of the official, and now I am getting more and more sophisticated." Prince Qi said disdainfully.
"I haven't congratulated Prince Qi yet, I have heard that the lord of Hua'an is gentle and virtuous, and now he has been married by the queen's mother, which is really a great blessing!" Lin Xun changed the topic, but what civil officials are best at is that their sentences are quite meaningful.
"Gentle and virtuous"?! Hmph, who in the entire capital doesn't know the arrogant temper of the lord of Hua'an. Several adults next to him secretly held back a smile, but our Prince Qi had a rough temperament all his life, and he really didn't hear it.
"Then Lord Chenglin's auspicious words!" Prince Qi had a proud expression on his face, "It's just that you don't have to be blessed by the official, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan is waiting by His Majesty's side, this is the great blessing of righteousness." β
Everyone thought that this was the prince, and when the prince was going to quarrel, the official father smiled and said lightly: "It is naturally a great blessing to be by Your Majesty's side." β
Saying this, Prince Qi was not easy to find fault with, and snorted sneeringly.
"Eh, why didn't Lord Lin Weilin come out with the two of you?" An adult broke the silence and asked suspiciously.
"The crown prince left Lord Lin Wei behind to inquire about the affairs of the Royal Forest Army during this time." The official father replied.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really conscientious, and now there are so many things in the court, it's really hard."
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Princeγγγ"

In the south study, only Lord Lin Wei and the Seventh Master were left, and the people who were waiting were also sent out.
"According to His Majesty's previous instructions, the defense of the palace gates is γγγγγγ."
The Seventh Master quietly listened to Lin Wei talk about the situation of the Royal Forest Army recently, and did not interrupt.
Lin Wei concisely explained the situation inside and outside the palace in the past few days, looked at the seventh master, and felt worried, I don't know why this prince suddenly cared about the Royal Forest Army.
"Lord Lin is finished?" The Seventh Master raised his eyes and looked at Lin Wei with a gentle smile.
"Yes, I don't know if Weichen said it clearly, if the prince still has anything unclear, just ask Weichen." Lin Wei was nervous when asked by the prince's words, and he couldn't read what the prince thought.
"Lord Lin Wei has been in charge of the Royal Forest Army for all these years, and naturally people can't find fault with their work." The Seventh Master straightened his body and continued, "But there is a disadvantage to being clear about everything, is it true that your lord says yes?" β
", I hope the prince will make it clear." Lin Wei replied tremblingly.
"What can I say clearly, but I think that even if you can't find fault with what you do, you can find fault if you want to be held accountable. Those doorways in the officialdom, Lord Lin must also have a deep understanding, right? The Seventh Master said playfully.
"Wechen is ignorant, it's just that the Imperial Forest Army has always been under the direct management of His Majesty, and Wechen doesn't understand what the prince said." Lin Wei vaguely guessed that he was afraid that the prince wanted to use the Imperial Forest Army for him.
Since the founding of the Northern Han Dynasty, in order to consolidate the emperor's power, the Imperial Forest Army is only under the orders of His Majesty, not restricted by anyone, and holds the protection of the entire palace city, which can be said to be the most powerful sword of the authorities.
"What Lord Lin said seems to be that oil and salt don't enter, but what he made made Chongkun unconvinced." The seventh master looked at Lin Wei, and the penetrating power in his eyes made people's backs hairy.
"The Marquis of Wenyuan's Mansion has been watching, speculating on the holy will of his father, and protecting himself, Lord Lin said that Chongkun is right?"
"This γγγ" The Seventh Master suddenly said these words bluntly, but Lin Wei didn't know how to answer for a while.
"On the surface, it seems that he is not involved in party disputes like the Marquis of Weiyuan, and is only loyal to the emperor, but he doesn't want to be as pure as the Marquis of Weiyuan, but he is just observing in secret, and he doesn't want others to act as easily."
The Seventh Master paused, looking at Lin Wei, he sat stiffly, not knowing how to answer for a while.
"My father is now ignoring political affairs, I don't know if Chongkun will be the one who inherits the unification in my father's heart?"
Lin Wei settled his mind, "The crown prince is wise and wise, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and he has entered the East Palace. Your Majesty's holy will cannot be fathomed, and I forgive Weichen for not daring to speak falsely. (To be continued.) )
