Chapter 83: Provocation
No way. If it is said that the emperor doubted his closeness to King Rui, it can be understood. But the king of Jin ......
Thinking about it carefully, where was the illness caused by the death of the emperor's eldest son, but it was only a dark place where others could be snooped on, so it was decided to establish a prince again. But now the emperor mentioned it again, is something wrong?
Now there are only four princes under the emperor's knees, and everyone knows that he is now in love with the fifth son of the emperor, King Rui, and the king of Jin was implicated by the Rong nobles.
If he wants to return to Beijing, there is indeed only one way to quell the rebellion in the south. Cao Zhen didn't think it was difficult for the King of Jin to lead the troops, and only he could take on this role when it came to courage and strategy.
If this battle is won, it is not impossible to say that he has returned to Beijing to restore the honor of the past, and it is by no means impossible to stand proudly as the head of the ministers. Although King Jin's power in the court is not as comprehensive as that of King Rui, there are not a few high-ranking officials who speak for him, not to mention that there is King Heng behind him......
King Heng, as expected, underestimated this prince, and always thought that he was just a scholar and didn't have much interest in the court, but now it seems that the deepest hidden is the most ruthless, how does he plan to stir up this situation......
Cao Zhen was puzzled, he thought that there were only two princes who were interested in this throne, but if he looked closely, he was really interested in all of them.
But when you think about it, who is interested in the throne and what does it matter? He is the overseer of the light clothes guard, and he serves the emperor, and now no matter how anxious they are, they are just using themselves, and why not?
In this way, Cao Zhen's originally nervous heart slowly relaxed, his face raised slightly, revealing a flattering smile, and he bowed to the emperor with his hands and said: "My emperor is wise, but if the king of Jin wants to calm down this rebellion in the south, I am afraid it will take more than half a year." ”
"There's no hurry." Seeing that his face had softened, the emperor couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the monarch is not the same as always being on guard everywhere. If an old fox like Cao Zhen had a few more people in the court, the court would not be in chaos. His eyes rolled slightly, and the emperor said slowly: "Isn't it indispensable for the power of God?" ”
"The emperor forgives the sins." The smile on Cao Zhen's face stiffened, and his embarrassed old face twitched, "The minister must do his best to close the case." ”
"Cao Zhen, don't forget what I said to you that day." The emperor said, brushed his sleeves and stood up, turned around and left.
Although Cao Zhen immediately bowed down and retreated, he seemed a little careless.
On that day, the shadows in the secret room of the light guard jumped, and the emperor made it clear that if this matter was done, he would be safe in the future. If it can't be done, heh...... This fate.
Cao Zhen shook his head, stood up and looked at the empty hall, and couldn't help but feel stunned in his heart. Don't say anything about glory and wealth, even every bite you take is not in the face of the emperor.
*********************************
Feng Xiuyun, who left the palace, quickly put away his exposed feelings and restored his usual evil charm, but his face was a little more cold. Sitting in the carriage and slowly going back, there was still a lot of joy along the way.
It's still the New Year.
He raised the corners of his mouth, smiled a little lonely, and suddenly raised his voice and commanded Jun Hao: "Go to Huai Wangfu." ”
As soon as he got into the carriage, Jun Hao sensed that something was wrong.
If you want to say what is the fastest in Beijing, it has to be rumors. When I started to hear what was happening outside the Shuntian Mansion, I couldn't help but be stunned, and when I was looking at my master, a trace of anxiety that was easy to suppress was also ignited a little.
The master is right, he knows what is the use, and it is practical to get it. Now the princess is still missing, saying that she is in the hands of His Royal Highness King Huai, and she is not seeing it with her own eyes, who can say that she is safe?
Now people don't see it, but all kinds of dirty water is poured on the master. If he is as proud as he is, how can he endure it? But before there was any countermeasure, it was passed into the palace by the emperor, although the emperor must have a way to suppress it, but this princess is afraid that she will never be the king of Rui again.
What are you going to do in Huaiwangfu at this time?
The green tendons on Jun Hao's temples twitched involuntarily, and he had a terrible headache, he didn't want to go to King Huai to settle accounts. He glanced at Feng Xiuyun uneasily, and saw that his face was still looking out through the curtain of the car, and he frowned slightly and ordered the coachman who was driving the horse, "Go to the Huaiwang Mansion." ”
The carriage was still driving smoothly, looking at the somewhat unfamiliar street scene, the smile on the corner of Feng Xiuyun's mouth became a little thicker, how much did his younger brother know?
When the carriage stopped, Feng Xiuyun stepped on the horse and came down, the door of the Huai Wang's Mansion was tightly closed, he watched the little maid go up and knock on the door, but he turned to look at the sky behind him.
The sky is very good, there is a hint of coldness in the air, but it is also comfortable, take a deep breath, and only feel that the whole person is a lot clearer.
He also asked Diexi why she always looked at the sky, but she pretended to be mysterious and didn't say anything, but now she seems to be able to guess a few points.
This kid ...... It's also for peace of mind.
Her little face slowly emerged, her smile gradually became clearer, and Feng Xiuyun's face became softer and softer.
It's just that he hasn't been immersed in it yet, and a small guy came out of the door behind him, but the surprise on his face flashed, "Is it His Royal Highness King Rui?" ”
"Your Highness is looking for His Royal Highness King Huai." Jun Hao said, looking inside, but his face was a little uneasy.
"Please come in, Your Highness is already waiting." The little guy glanced at Feng Xiuyun, who had his back to them, but he replied without humility or arrogance, while getting out of the way to guide them.
Jun Hao looked at Feng Xiuyun uneasily, and his brows tightened a little. Feng Xiuyun was relieved, he knew that he was coming, so he must know why he was coming, so good.
Thinking about it, he had already taken the lead in raising his feet to enter the mansion, and Jun Hao behind him sighed, and he could only raise his heels to enter.
King Huai listened to the message, and ordered to serve hot tea again, and then put down the "Soul Leaving Record" in his hand and sat up straight to welcome the guests.
Feng Xiuyun was greeted to his seat, and before he could speak, a pair of peach blossom eyes were already firmly staring at the book on the table, and his heart was also disturbed a little, how could he have this book.
King Huai smiled and looked at the book, and explained to him a little casually: "Xi'er said that this book is interesting, so I found it, and next time I will relieve her boredom." ”
"Don't do it next time." Feng Xiuyun's smile was still the same, but his tone was a little tougher, "Just now." ”
"When did the fifth brother be in such a hurry." King Huai picked up the tea and took a sip, and looked at Feng Xiuyun obliquely, "Have you forgotten how eye-catching you are now?" ”
