The fourth prince's previous action in investigating the Ruan family's case was not obvious, nor was it fast. Not carelessly, but deliberately. He just wanted to see the emperor's intentions in advance, and since the emperor secretly got the news that did not stop the intention of reprimanding him, he was relieved to start a drastic action.

First of all, I found out the people who were the personal certificates and supporting documents seven years ago, and screened out the people who are now working in Beijing and have the handle to handle. He must know how much benefit this matter will bring him before he acts, of course, he will maximize the benefits, and it would be better if he could cut off the right hand of the prince's mansion.

There are also those for Meng Shaoguang to see, of course, Meng Shaoguang also lived up to his expectations and gave the booklet that was enough to overturn the case to the four princes.

The four princes flipped through the booklets one by one, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, since the case in Yilan Courtyard, he had never been so happy.

"Your Highness, can you get your wish with this?" The four princesses were quietly boiling tea, and they had neither objection nor support for the four princes' recent practices.

"Of course! This booklet records all the expenses and accounts of Ruan Xingtian's manufacturing of those weapons back then, and the time and place are clear, as long as you check it a little, you can completely open the Ruan family's case! The four princes were all smiling with high spirits, as if they had seen the scene where the emperor reprimanded the prince after knowing about this.

The fourth princess frowned slightly, she always felt that this case was strange everywhere, although the Ruan family's case was serious, it was an old case after all, even if it was opened to prove that the prince slandered Ruan Xingtian for his own selfish interests, what could he do? It's just an old case, what can the emperor do with the crown prince? What can the four princes get by working so long? The fourth prince obviously wouldn't do such a thankless thing, why was he so eager this time.

"Your Royal Highness, in the end, it is an old case, so is it worth showing your edge in front of the crown prince and early father?" The four princesses served a cup of tea to the four princes and asked softly. Even if you are dissatisfied, you can't do it with the four princes, the four princes can't tolerate others disobeying him, don't look at the usual elegant appearance, if it's not as good as you want, but you won't be polite to anyone.

The fourth prince took the tea and glanced at the four princesses, held the tea in his hand and smiled, "Wanjun thinks it's not worth it?" ”

The four princesses couldn't figure out what the four princes meant, but seeing that he didn't mean to be angry, she nodded: "Your Highness is so persistent, isn't there anything in it that the concubines don't know?" ”

Verbal compliments imply praise, but speaking is also an art.

The fourth prince was really not unhappy when he heard this, and said with a smile on his face after taking a sip of tea: "No, just like Wan Jun thought, it's just that you are thinking about the gains and losses of your interests now, not from a long-term perspective." ”

The fourth princess was a little confused, she asked herself if she was good at figuring out people's hearts, but she didn't know what she miscalculated this time? Is it the emperor's attitude when he knows about this or the prince's attention to the Ruan family's case? What is the ultimate goal of the four princes?

"Your Highness, please."

The four princes were very satisfied with the attitude of the four princesses, put down the teacup and changed to a comfortable posture before speaking: "Wanjun think about it, what is the fundamental reason why the prince slandered Ruan Xingtian seven years ago? ”

The fourth princess raised her eyebrows and pondered: "Because Ruan Xingtian refused to listen to his words and was shoddy, in the final analysis, it was because he wanted to deal with King An's Mansion, and Ruan Xingtian was unwilling to be an accomplice." ”

"Yes, at that time, the war in Hebei was tense, and if the Nan'an army used these weapons, not only the Nan'an army would suffer heavy losses, but also Hebei. If Hebei can't be saved, can Dasheng still be the current Dasheng? ”

"But in the end, this kind of thing didn't happen, my father wouldn't do anything to the prince because of something that didn't happen, he didn't know how much His Royal Highness valued and favored this eldest son, this may be painless for the prince at all." The four princesses are telling the truth, what kind of person the emperor is, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty can see it clearly. Naturally, these ambitious housewives can see it clearly.

The fourth prince refilled a cup of tea for himself, and his words were not light or serious: "Of course I know this." Holding the tea and shaking it in his hand, the fourth prince hooked his lips again, and said with a slight mockery: "Of course I don't want to use this 'possibility' to deal with the prince, the prince's power is given by the father in the final analysis, if the father does not want to give it, then the prince will no longer be the prince." ”

The fourth princess was a little confused, and was talking about the Ruan family's case, why did she suddenly talk about the prince's situation, "The concubine is ignorant, please give advice to His Royal Highness." ”

The fourth prince turned the teacup in his hand, as if he thought of something, and the coldness in his eyes was fierce, "Seven years ago, even my father and emperor were counting on the Nan'an army to defend Hebei, even if he hated Uncle An and gritted his teeth with hatred, he had to swallow this breath, and the prince, just a prince, was so bold and reckless to comfort Dasheng and rashly attacked the Nan'an army, Wan Jun felt that if his father knew, what would he think?" ”

There was a hint of realization in the eyes of the four princesses, but they were speechless, waiting for the four princes to continue.

The tone of the fourth prince became more and more hateful, and he couldn't hide his dissatisfaction with the prince in his words, "The prince is just the prince in the end, getting rid of King An is the father's business, over the years, who have you seen who dares to act for his father and feel sorry for King An's mansion, the prince is so disobedient to his father and dares to act for the sky, even if the father looks at the long-standing things and bypasses the prince, he will definitely be dissatisfied with the prince, the prince has dared to act like this seven years ago, and he doesn't look at his father in his eyes at all, so what about today after seven years?" Now that the court is praising the crown prince, even if the prince is the eldest son of his father's most beloved son, he will be jealous, suspicious, and uneasy. ”

"My father is upright and in his prime, and it is not a problem for the throne to be for more than ten years, and the prince is now twenty-four years old, if the prince is waiting for his father to abdicate, will he wait? The Ruan family's case is just to remind my father that the crown prince's current momentum is too dangerous for my father, as long as my father has the intention of suppressing the prince, that is my chance to take the throne. ”

The fourth princess also heard the same meaning, but she had another layer of worry: "What Your Highness said is reasonable, it's just that you and the crown prince are only two years apart, if your father has such scruples about the crown prince, then she must also have such scruples about His Royal Highness." If it is the fall of the crown prince, where will His Highness be placed? ”

When the fourth prince heard this, he suppressed the indignation in his heart, and said slowly: "When the time comes, I can't help my father." ”

The fourth princess froze when she heard this, she knew that the four princes were dissatisfied with the emperor, but she didn't want to have such a thought, and the hand she held suddenly trembled slightly, she was not ready to accept such a fact.

"When the time comes, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will nominate His Royal Highness, and even if the father and emperor drag it out, he won't be able to delay it for long, after all, he should be old at that time, and it is normal for him to be in poor health."

When the fourth prince said this, a pair of eyes stared at the four princesses like poisonous snakes, and cold lips spit out chilling words: "What do you think? ”

The fourth princess tried her best to calm herself, leaned over slightly and moved her mouth but couldn't speak, and finally pinched herself with her clenched hand, and then found her voice: "What His Highness said is true." ”
