In Chongyang Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The fifth prince looked at a booklet in his hand and sat for a long time. Then he wrapped the booklet in a red cloth on the table and placed it on his body.
Then he called his father-in-law over and asked him, "Has King Hui entered the palace today?" ”
Father-in-law replied, "Back to Your Highness, yes." The concubine Niangniang was sick, and His Royal Highness King Hui entered the palace to serve the sick. ”
The fifth prince nodded when he heard this, and instructed him: "When King Hui leaves the palace, invite him to Chongyang Palace by the way." As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled with a strange and meaningful face, and he said: "Speaking of which, although Brother Hui Wang has gone out, he is still my brother, and I haven't seen Brother Hui Wang for a long time." ”
Father-in-law De didn't know what the fifth prince wanted to do, but the master of the fifth prince was not easy to serve, and Father-in-law De didn't ask much, said yes, and then went out.
As soon as he walked to the door, he met Gonggong Li. Gonggong Li raised his eyes and glanced at him, glanced at him sharply, and asked in a sharp voice, "Why are you going?" ”
Gonggong Li is the person who the emperor put in Chongyang Palace to take care of the five princes, saying that he is taking care of it, and it also means surveillance, and he is also the number one eunuch in Chongyang Palace, even the five princes dare not do anything to him, and Gonggong De does not dare to deceive, and immediately replied: "Back to Gonggong Li, His Royal Highness wants to see His Royal Highness King Hui, and let His Royal Highness King Hui go to love him when he leaves the palace." ”
Gonggong Li continued to stare at him and asked, "Good and dignified, why did His Highness want to see His Royal Highness King Hui?" ”
Father-in-law replied truthfully: "The slave doesn't know. ”
Gonggong Li still wanted to say something, but at this time, the fifth prince walked out of the house, stared at him with his hands and asked gloomily: "Gonggong Li, is it now that His Royal Highness instructs a palace person to do something with your consent?" ”
Gonggong Li smiled and said, "The slave doesn't dare, and the slave also cares about His Highness." After a pause, he said: "The slave knows that the slave is a little nosy on weekdays, which makes His Highness a little unhappy, but the slave is also to live up to the emperor's trust and take good care of His Highness, and I hope His Highness will forgive me." ”
After speaking, he glared at Gonggong De, who was stunned there, and said, "Don't go and do what His Highness ordered you to do!" ”
Father-in-law De hurriedly said yes, bent over and left.
The fifth prince stared at Gonggong Li and snorted, then turned around and entered the room again, but scolded in disgust in his heart, "Diao slave!" ”
When King Hui was walking halfway out of the palace, he was quite surprised when he heard that the five princes wanted to see him. Now that he has become an idle prince who has gone out and collapsed in the court, everyone has long avoided him, but they didn't expect that the five princes would think of him.
Princess Hui on the side also asked, "What's the matter, what are the five princes looking for His Royal Highness to do." ”
King Hui said: "This king will go over and take a look, and the princess will go out of the palace first." ”
After speaking, he took a step forward and followed Gonggong De to Chongyang Palace.
The fifth prince had already made tea and was waiting for him, and when he saw him come in, he stood up and said with a smile: "Second brother, you are here, my brother has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
As he spoke, he was about to bend down and salute King Hui.
King Hui hurriedly helped him up and said, "Fifth brother, hurry up, I am already an idle king who has gone out, but I can't afford the gift of the fifth brother." ”
The fifth prince said: "In my younger brother's heart, the second brother will always be my closest and respected brother. ”
King Hui smiled lightly, and then asked, "I wonder what the fifth brother is doing when he comes to me?" ”
The fifth prince made a gesture of invitation to King Hui and said, "Please invite the second brother to have a cup of tea." ”
King Hui saw that the five princes were not in a hurry, and he was not in a hurry, so he sat on a chair and drank tea with the five princes. The fifth prince was slow and leisurely, and asked about Wu Guifei's illness, and King Hui's newborn youngest son came.
One of King Hui's concubines gave birth to a son for King Hui in Zhaoyang Palace last month, and the princess of King Hui's mansion and the side concubine family have been fighting for the custody of this healthy young son, and finally the concubine spoke, this child and his biological mother are raised in her Zhaoyang Palace, whether it is King Hui or the side concubine, no one will give it.
King Hui also replied with a match.
After a cup of tea, the fifth prince glanced left and right at the palace people who were waiting around him, and instructed them: "You guys go out, His Royal Highness wants to talk to the second brother for a while." ”
Miyato said yes and went out.
King Hui's eyes moved, knowing that now was the main event that the five princes had called him over.
After the palace people went out, sure enough, the fifth prince smiled and said to King Hui: "The second brother's birthday is coming, the younger brother wants to give the second brother a birthday gift, the gift is thin, and I hope the second brother will not dislike it." ”
As he spoke, he took out a small box three inches long and two inches wide from his body and put it on the table.
King Hui looked at the five princes, and then at the box on the table, although he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't show it.
And the five princes kept staring at King Hui's weird and shallow smile, as if waiting for King Hui to open the box.
King Hui hesitated for a moment, and then opened the box, and inside the box was a red cloth bag. When I opened the red cloth bag, there was a shabby booklet inside, with some yellowing in the corners, and it looked like it was some years old.
King Hui picked up the booklet, only opened it casually and read a page, then closed the booklet in shock, and called out in fright: "Fifth brother, you ......"
The fifth prince smiled and said, "Second brother, you still like this gift." ”
King Hui asked anxiously, "Where did you get this booklet?" ”
The fifth prince said: "Don't worry about this second brother, in short, the second brother remembers, the younger brother and the second brother are the most intimate." ”
King Hui laughed when he heard this, and he didn't care where the five princes got this booklet. According to his guess, it should have been given to him by the Jiang family on his deathbed, and as for where the Jiang family got it, it was most likely from the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion.
However, this booklet did be of great use to him, especially now that he was in a situation where he needed it even more.
King Hui said: "What a great gift, I like it very much as an elder brother." ”
As he said that he remembered something, he reached over and shook the hand of the fifth prince, and said with a smile: "Actually, if I go out, I am not considered my father's branch, and there is no possibility of inheriting the throne in the future." The crown prince and Changkun Palace have formed a mortal enemy with me, whether it is the prince succeeding to the throne or the son of Changkun Palace succeeding to the throne, I am only afraid that people will make me a fish and meat, the third prince is a fool, and the biological mother status of the fourth prince is too low or a criminal concubine, I think about it, it would be good if the fifth prince won the world in the future......"
The fifth prince said: "Where, if you talk about governing the world, it is naturally the second brother who is the best at it." ”
This is really a big rebellion, but at this time, in the room where there was only King Hui and the fifth prince, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and they knew each other but had their own thoughts.
King Hui wanted to win over the five princes to his side, while the five princes wanted to help King Hui and let him continue to fight with the crown prince.
He still needs some time to grow, and it would be better to let King Hui consume some of the prince's power at this time.
King Hui sat in Chongyang Palace for a while, and then left the palace and returned to King Hui's mansion and entered his study.
He called everyone out, and then opened the pamphlet himself and carefully looked at its contents.
What that pamphlet recorded was the evidence and evidence of the guilt of some officials.
It is rumored that King Qi asked people to collect the handle of hundreds of officials, and then controlled some officials in this way, forcing them to follow and support him. Therefore, King Qi, a prince with a low maternal background, was able to gain so much support in the end, and even became the most prestigious and powerful prince after the first emperor mourned the death of the crown prince and the second prince. It's a pity that in the end, the first emperor still did not make him the crown prince, but set up his father, and finally forced King Qi to force the palace to rebel.
If his guess is correct, this booklet should be part of the booklet that King Qi used to control officials, and the five princes will not leave him behind, and they will not give it to him.
Some of the people recorded in this booklet are still active in the court and have become members of the court, and some have become officials, but there are still children and grandchildren who are active in the court.
His current power has been almost completely destroyed by his father, and what he lacks most now is people, some people who support him and follow him.
But with this pamphlet, he believes he can also re-cultivate his power.
Even if he can't be the emperor in the end, don't want the prince or the son of Changkun Palace to be the emperor.
Father, don't you look down on me the most? Then watch how I defeat the sons you value and look forward to one by one. (To be continued.) )
