CHAPTER XIX
Chen Xie's life has not been easy recently, since the second brother Chen Pu recommended You to cure his father's illness, everything has started to be different. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info After the treatment, the second brother presented a new type of farming tool nine-tooth plow, which not only won the favor of his father, but also won the support of many ministers, and the smile on his father's face became more and more when he saw him, not only into him as the king of Handan, and set his fief as the two counties of Handan Shanggu next to Jicheng, but also built a palace for him outside the palace, allowing him to open a mansion and build teeth. Now that the second brother has become the only one among all the princes who can compete with him, his foreign family has taken the opportunity to attract many courtiers to support him, and vainly wants to change the crown prince.
Now the second brother proposed in front of his father that they should not send troops to help Liu Mao attack Liang State, and asked his father to withdraw his troops. You must know that the reason why he sent troops to assist Liu Mao was to form a mutual aid alliance with Liu Mao, and as long as Liu Mao ascended the throne, he would support him on the throne, and secondly, he had taken the opportunity to insert his henchmen into the army, and in time, his people could completely replace the generals in the army, so that this team was completely in his own hands. But now that was all that was done, the withdrawal of troops would only disrupt his plans.
He sighed and walked around the dormitory, and a small chamberlain slipped in quietly and knelt down in front of him: "Report to His Royal Highness the Prince, the king has gone to the Qingyun Hall of Chu Meiren." The little chamberlain trembled, he frowned, his hands couldn't help clenching, since his father recovered, he has become more and more unrestrained in women, and there have been five beauties in the palace in a row, and one is younger than the other, and his father only cares about hugging the beauties every day to have fun, and he has not been to the Fengyi Palace of the Queen Mother for a long time. The traveling doctor who cured his father's stubborn illness not only received a lot of gold, silver and jewelry as a reward, but was also named a royal hospital for his father alone.
Waving off the chamberlain, he sighed, walked to the window, pushed open the window and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, but he was still thinking about how to resolve the current crisis. There was a sound of broken footsteps, someone slowly approached him, a familiar fragrance came, he didn't look back, the next moment someone gently put on a cloak for him, he grabbed the soft wattle that was too late to take back, and gently rubbed it in his hand, the soft little hand was immediately red, and the woman behind him screamed. He didn't let go but turned away.
The woman in front of her was not tall, with a slender figure, she looked small and exquisite, with black hair that was pressed down, and her skin was like snow. A palm-sized little face with autumn eyebrows like distant mountains, red lips lightly open pear vortex slightly, and the end is a pink beauty. Chen Xie looked at his maid, let go of his hand and asked with a smile, "Why haven't you slept yet?" The woman looked up at him with unconcealed admiration in her eyes, "I've already slept and saw that the lights are still on here for Your Highness, so come and take a look, Your Highness should rest early!" "It's not you on duty tonight, you're still so worried, be careful that you catch a cold." After Chen Xie finished speaking, he untied the cloak and wrapped it around her small body, and the maid's delicate body trembled slightly: "Your Highness, Lu Qiao can't afford His Highness's love." Chen Xie smiled slightly and patted her shoulder: "Go to sleep, you have to be on duty tomorrow." Midori saluted and ran away timidly.
There is another person who hasn't slept so late, that is, the second prince is now the king of Handan, Chen Pu, he now lives in his own Handan palace, because he has just opened the mansion and built a tooth, although he has the help of his uncle Deng Zhuo, but there are still many things for him to do in person, most of the staff he uses now are arranged for him by his uncle, although he is very loyal, but many things have to be discussed with his uncle first, before he comes to report him, which makes him a little unhappy, always a little constrained, but I think that my uncle found a good doctor for him to cure his father's illness, Moreover, the nine-toothed plough was also presented to his father by his uncle in his name, and he felt that now his uncle had fought for him, and he should be grateful, and there should be no complaints, and his heart calmed down again after thinking about it.
I didn't sleep so late tonight because when I was deliberating with my staff today, someone proposed to let him marry, and most of them seconded it, and they have now begun to consider the object of his marriage, he is already eighteen years old, only one year younger than the prince, and he is also old enough to consider marriage. It is said that General Zhuo now intends to marry the prince, the eldest lady of the Zhuo family, Zhuo Yuting, admires His Royal Highness the prince very much, and it is very ridiculous to think about it, General Zhuo's sister and the queen have been fighting for a lifetime, and it has only been a year since she died, and General Zhuo is ready to marry the prince. It's a pity that the third brother died early, otherwise how could General Zhuo be in a hurry to stand in line, how could he have to support his nephew! However, not long ago, it was rumored that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince killed his third brother with his own hands, could it be that the Zhuo family didn't mind at all? to a truly mercenary family.
In fact, having said that, at the beginning he didn't want to compete with the prince, he and his fourth brother Chen Xing's mother died early, they were all raised in front of the queen's mother, since they were young, they followed the prince in and out of Fengyi Palace, and the mother treated them well, and always wanted to leave them a copy of whatever good things there were, and they also took care of all aspects of their lives. They do have some brotherhood with the crown prince. When did all this change? It seems that after they grow up, especially after entering the study to study, if he reads well and wins the praise of his father, the people around him will be happier than himself, and the people around him will involuntarily flatter and stutter when they look at him, and if he does not read well, the people around him will look at him with a look of disdain, and they will not even serve him wholeheartedly, and even snub him in terms of food and clothing. He listened to his uncle's words and studied hard, pleasing his father everywhere, and sure enough, life was much better than before, and then he got used to competing for the first place in everything, the prince didn't care at first, and then he got more praise from his father, and the prince began to be unhappy, although they were all brothers on the surface, but they had already begun to compete secretly behind their backs, and then the prince began to learn to deal with the government, and the life of the uncle's family began to be difficult, and he was often suppressed by the prince looking for various interfaces, and when his father was seriously ill, The uncle was basically suppressed and couldn't hold his head up.
Fortunately, they were lucky, the uncle found a doctor who could cure his father's stubborn illness, and their life gradually improved, and then the uncle got the nine-tooth plow, and through his name to the father, so he got his father's unprecedented favor, not only rewarded him with gold, silver and jewelry, but also named him the king of Handan, fiefdom Handan Shanggu two counties, and allowed him to open a mansion and build teeth, and have his own subordinates, which allowed him to participate in politics.
Although he didn't want to fight with the crown prince, there was still his uncle's family standing behind him, and his subordinates who followed him loyally, and he could only move forward and not retreat at this point. At this point, he couldn't hope that the crown prince would let him go, and before he knew it, they had adapted to the days of fighting each other, and the stagnation of one side would only be ruthlessly crushed by the other.
He thought of the fourth brother Chen Xing who had left Jicheng and didn't know where he was wandering, the fourth brother was still too naïve, no, he couldn't say that he was naïve, there was no power behind him, his mother was just an orphan girl, and he died early, not to mention that he was simple and kind by nature, neither the prince nor I regarded him as an opponent, we all treated him as a younger brother wholeheartedly. What he experienced was a real brotherhood, so he treated every brother and sister with true feelings, no wonder when he heard that it was the third brother killed by the prince, he couldn't accept this reality, and he was clamoring to ask what happened, and he didn't know how the prince answered him, of course, the prince would never admit that he did it, and he didn't know why he left the palace later.
Then Chen Pu remembered Chen Huan's sister again, she is the prince's sibling sister, his half-sister, this sister was very likable when she was a child, and they had a very good relationship, but since she married Cao Chang'an, she has already stood on the opposite side of him even if she doesn't do anything, and they are destined to become rivals.
It's late at night, so let's go to bed early, there will be a battle tomorrow tomorrow......
