King Rui pondered for a long time before he said softly: "Xiao Jiu, you just don't know." ”

Liu Tong slowly clenched his fists: "Do you want to endure it again?" ”

"I can't bear it, what can I do?" King Rui said in a deep voice: "There is a young master in the Yuwen family who may be the prince, do you think this kind of scandal can be spread?" ”

King Rui stood up and took two steps, and said, "My father boasts that he has a deep affection for Queen Chunyu, although there are many people in the harem, but I haven't seen anyone my father particularly favorite. If the courtiers knew that the father had an affair with the wife of the Yuwen family when he was young, he also had a son, and even this son was a few months older than the prince...... I'm afraid it's going to be an uproar. ”

Liu Tong lowered his eyes and said softly: "It's about the reputation of my father, so naturally I can't announce it." But Yuwen's ...... It is a fact that someone was sent to assassinate the fifth brother. Didn't his father just want to protect him, so he suppressed this matter? ”

Liu Tong pursed his lips and looked at King Rui: "It's just that the father is partial to the prince, why should an illegitimate son arbitrarily do this, and the father can also favor him?" ”

King Rui stood with his hands behind his back for a long time before he said slowly: "My father is a gentle person who does not want to be inspired by contradictions, which can be seen from his methods of dealing with the family mansion and the Hou mansion. Now that my father is getting older, his heart is softer. The crown prince was his chosen candidate for the crown prince, and his father naturally hoped that the crown prince would be able to succeed to the throne in peace after a hundred years. As for the bastard...... Presumably, the father felt ashamed of him, so he couldn't bear to be harsh. After all, his father would never have revealed his identity and welcomed him back to the royal family. ”

Liu Tong looked at the silhouette of King Rui, and couldn't help but say: "My father is partial to the prince, and he is partial to the illegitimate son, why isn't he partial to the fifth brother?" ”

King Rui smiled and said, "The crown prince is the son-in-law, and the illegitimate son is the eldest son, so the father naturally values it more." I don't care. After all, I and Brother Qi, Brother Li, Brother Zhu and Brother Cen are all the same in my father's opinion. They are all 'sons who are not born of the queen'. ”

Rui Wang smiled: "This is also not a widow but an uneven situation." ”

"But this feud, the fifth brother and the Yuwen family have settled." Liu Tong answered.

"So what?" King Rui said calmly: "It is impossible for him to come to the capital to find me unlucky, and I can't go to Yanzhou to trouble him." Even if he has a grudge, what can he do to me? ”

Liu Tong is not so optimistic.

"I came into contact with this man, and he had a gloomy and mean face, and even when he looked at me, there was a hint of hatred in his eyes. It's hard to predict what crazy people will do. ”

Liu Tong said: "Especially this time, the Qi and Lu families arrested half of the Tai, presumably these two families are wasted." And in the future, Yanzhou will be the world of the Yuwen family, and the Yuwen family is the only one, so Yuwen Siyuan's arrogance may be even higher. ”

Liu Tong paused, and suddenly sneered: "Fifth brother, my father sent you to Yanzhou to secretly investigate the Yanzhou riots, and later asked me to lead troops to arrest the Qi and Lu families. Heh, he never imagined that Yuwen Siyuan jumped up to me by himself and told me about his life experience. You say, if my father knew that he was hiding this, but the person concerned said it easily, I don't know what expression would be on his face? ”

King Rui looked at the window lattice and was silent, Liu Tong sneered to himself: "As the young master of the Yuwen family, Yuwen Siyuan also has some dealings with the young masters of the Qi family and the Lu family. Over the years, Yuwen Siyuan didn't know how many good things the prince and King Zhu had done from the young masters of those two families. Once these things are turned over by him, the consequences will ......"

Liu Tong's expression was ruthless: "Well, look at that Yuwen Siyuan is not a peaceful person, and wait for him and the prince to eat dog." ”

Rui Wang glanced sideways at Liu Tong, still silent.

The two brothers have their own hearts, and after a long time, Liu Tong said: "Zuo Xiaowei has already arrested the important criminals of the Qi and Lu families to the yamen of the Criminal Department, and a few of them jumped up and scolded people in Yanzhou. On the way, I listened to some of their words of reproach, and let people write them down to form a chapter. Fifth brother thinks, what should I do next? ”

King Rui pondered for a moment and said, "Since my father asked you to go to Yanzhou to arrest important criminals, and these people are also in the prison of the Criminal Department, you don't have to worry about it. You write a statement of how to deal with the matter, and then submit the recital of the two families' speeches, and you are done with the errand. The rest is not something you can handle. ”

Liu Tong replied, and snorted coldly: "When I returned to Beijing, I told Zuo Xiao that I would throw people into the prison of Dali Temple, but Zuo Xiao said that I would send people to the prison of the Criminal Department by the will of my father. The criminal department is the territory of the king, and the king is to recuperate due to heart disease, and the father and the emperor have taken back the authority of the criminal department. The person was escorted to the criminal department, of course, it was conducive to the father to deal with some things secretly. In order to protect the crown prince and wish the king, my father has done enough. ”

King Rui sighed lightly: "Okay, you don't have to worry about these things. ”

King Rui walked over and patted Liu Tong's shoulder gently: "Before, the ninth brother and sister made a special trip to the palace to ask me about you in Yanzhou, and she was very worried about you. Talk to her when you get home. Women have small hearts, you have to coax. ”

Liu Tong laughed and said, "Run's heart is not small. ”

"That's not for sure." King Rui smiled: "Let's take the fact that you came back to Beijing this time and ran to me without going back to the prince's mansion to explain to her, maybe she won't be happy in her heart." In short, it doesn't hurt you to coax a woman well. ”

Liu Tong said with a low smile: "The fifth brother's experience, I naturally listen to the fifth brother." ”

"Don't tease me." King Rui smiled: "There is a virtuous helper, which will save you a lot of trouble." Okay, let's go back, don't let the ninth brother and sister wait. Have a good night's rest, and tomorrow I can go to my father to resume my life. ”

Liu Tong muttered that his father didn't need him to recover his life, so he said goodbye to King Rui and went to the prince's mansion.

Chang Runzhi only finished practicing a word when he received the news of Liu Tong's return to his home, he was putting his pen and rubbing his wrist, and he didn't say anything when he heard the report, but only responded lightly, and didn't order anything, but said: "Be busy with everything." ”

Yao Huang motioned for the maids to go out, and persuaded from the side: "Girl, go to greet you?" ”

"He doesn't need me to lead the way." Chang Runzhi shook his head and said, "Besides, I greeted him at noon." ”

Yao Huang sighed secretly, and said in his heart that the girl's anger has not disappeared, and the words she took a nap and practiced at this time were all in vain.

Liu Tong, who was walking in the mansion, was also puzzled, and asked the subordinate beside him: "What about the prince and concubine?" ”

"The princess is in the main courtyard."

"She didn't hear from me coming back?" Liu Tong asked again.

The subordinate hesitated and said, "The news has been transmitted, it's just ...... Miss Wei Zi said that the princess was practicing calligraphy, and she couldn't leave for a while......"

Liu Tong looked at the person in surprise for a while, and then asked Hua Ze, who was following behind him with some uncertainty: "The princess, this is ...... Angry? (To be continued.) )
