Chapter 261: Deployment
Two days later, Shen Wanquan came in to see the third prince and whispered in the third prince's ear: "I found out in the next place, and the other group of people who are monitoring you are people sent by the prince." ”
The third prince was secretly surprised in his heart.
The eldest brother, who has always been heroic and uninhibited, loves him and protects him, began to be jealous and suspicious of him.
What's going on here?
It didn't take long for him to figure out why.
It seems that he knows about his private alliance with the ministries.
But the reason why he did this was not to deal with his eldest brother, but to deal with Yan Shichong.
So it is obvious that Yan Shichong said something to the eldest brother, otherwise the eldest brother would not mind who he met in private.
For the princes and grandchildren, it is not a trivial matter for brothers to be suspicious of each other, and if one is not handled well, disputes will arise and it is easy for outsiders to take advantage of them, in this case, how can he make the eldest brother let down his guard against him?
Judging from the character of the eldest brother who does not change easily after recognizing the truth, it is difficult for him to clarify it again.
The three princes raised their foreheads in contemplation.
In the end, he believes that the most important thing at present is to find out whether the eldest brother has formed an alliance with Yan Shichong. Assuming that there is, then not only he, the eldest brother, the emperor, but even the entire people of the Ming Kingdom will suffer. If not, then he will prove to his eldest brother step by step that he has no intention of competing with him for the throne.
So he said to Shen Wanquan: "Let them follow, I have nothing to hide from the prince." Also, as long as the prince's people don't take the initiative to hurt us, we must not hurt them, understand? ”
"Understood." Shen Wanquan replied respectfully.
The third prince thought for a moment. beckoned to the next person to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and quickly wrote a letter with a pen.
"You help me send it to Yan Mansion to Yan Jinxuan as soon as possible." Su Shanyun instructed.
"Yes." Shen Wanquan took it and left immediately.
Shen Wanquan arrived at Yan's Mansion in less than half an hour and handed over the letter to Yan Jinxuan.
Yan Jinxuan immediately opened the letter to read it, but saw that a sentence was written on it: 'Meet tonight in the Jasmine Pavilion wing room on the second floor of the Huaxia Teahouse on Dongcheng Road'
That night, Yan Jinxuan came to the Huaxia Teahouse as promised.
"Lord Yan, how do you think it's best to deal with it?" The third prince asked immediately after telling Yan Jinxuan about the prince's stalking of him.
"You must not be an enemy of the crown prince, at least not on the surface, otherwise you will fall for Yan Shichong's plan." Yan Jinxuan said calmly.
"Good. But how can I get the prince to believe in me? Zhu Rui asked.
"At the moment, you don't have to be obsessed with whether he believes it or not, just have a clear conscience."
The third prince nodded.
"I will send someone to follow the crown prince recently to see if he has formed an alliance with Yan Shichong." The third prince continued.
"Well, the sooner this is found, the better." Yan Jinxuan said.
Whoosh. A dark shadow quickly passed through the window.
The third prince immediately raised his sword and walked towards the window.
Yan Jinxuan also followed.
It's long gone.
I wonder if the man listened to what they had just said. The third prince couldn't help but think in his heart.
If you listen to it, it's going to be a problem.
However, at this point, fearing that it would be useless, they sat back in their seats.
This time, however, their conversation was so low that only the two of them could hear it, and it was close to their ears.
…………………….
Yan Mansion. Yan Shichong and more than 200 guests gathered.
The discussion is about dealing with the three princes.
For Yan Shichong. The crown prince is not the one he is dealing with. The first thing he dealt with was the three princes who had already allied with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Military Department, the Household Department, the Ministry of Industry, the Zhongshu Province, the Hanlin Yuan, the Zhan Shifu, the Shuntian Mansion, the Guozijian and the Qintianjian. Only by eliminating the obstacle of the Third Prince, can it be possible to further implement his plan.
But how to deal with the three princes?
Yan Shichong was also a little distressed.
Therefore, he immediately gathered his disciples to discuss how to deal with it.
The opponent is too strong, so the doormen can't think of a good way for a while.
Soon after, Zhang Jing spoke, "My lord." Since it's hard to deal with it openly, why don't you deal with it secretly? ”
Yan Shichong suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Zhang Jing with a kind face and asked, "Do you have a countermeasure?" ”
"Yes, I'll talk to you later after everyone leaves." Zhang Jing said.
"Okay." Yan Shichong smiled.
After a while, Yan Shichong announced the end of the party, and everyone left.
Yan Shichong only left Zhang Jing to speak.
"My lord, we can deploy a false impression that the three princes want to seek the throne, so that he will offend the emperor and the crown prince at the same time, and then we can take the opportunity to punish the ten tribes he has allied with for the crime of 'conspiracy'."
"And how is this illusion deployed?" Yan Shichong asked as he stared at his face.
Zhang Jing whispered in his ear for a while.
Yan Shichong nodded as he listened.
After that, Yan Shichong said: "This matter is very important, and there is no room for the slightest mistake or omission, so it needs to be carefully deployed." In my opinion, it will have to be deployed at least three months in advance. ”
"It's okay, don't say three months, even three years is worth it." Zhang Jing said busily.
……………
On the morning of February 10, Su Shanyun received a letter from Shangguan Shishi.
"Li He has recently resumed contact with us, but every time he comes, he only discusses scientific research with my father and brother, and he comes and goes in a hurry. Now that he doesn't mention your cousin to us every time he comes, I guess you'll feel 'relieved' when you hear the news, right?" He will probably take the exam in the next few days, so my mother often asks me to bring him the old stewed ginseng chicken soup. My dad said that with his intelligence and diligence, he might be able to get the first place in the exam this time...... When are you free to come and sit at our house? My mother told me about you yesterday. Also, I heard that you are married, and I also heard that the other party is Yan Jinxuan, the well-known governor of Zhongshu Province, and I am really happy for you! When will you tell me about your acquaintance? I especially want to learn from you. I'm a year older than you, and I haven't decided on anyone yet, but my father and mother are dying......"
Su Shanyun read the letter carefully twice, and felt more and more stable in her heart.
Li He's change was beyond her imagination, and she was sincerely happy for his change.
She also hopes that Li He can get a good ranking in the exam.
But she naturally didn't dare to go to Shangguan Shi's family, at least not in the past two years, because she was afraid that she would run into Li He, and she didn't want to evoke his memory of their past again.
So she wrote back to Shangguan Shishi: "I've been busy lately, so I'm afraid I don't have much time to visit your house, if you want to hear the story of me and Lord Yan, come to my house as a guest, I was in the capital before March, and you are welcome to come at any time." ”
A day later, Su Shanyun received a reply from Shangguan Shishi: "Great, how about I go to your house on February 20th?" ”
"Of course, then I'll wait for your arrival." Su Shanyun replied.
In this way, it is equivalent to making an appointment with each other to meet each other.
Thinking that Shangguan Shishi would mention Li He's matter to her every time she wrote to her, she couldn't help but have an idea-Shangguan Shishi didn't have any other feelings besides wanting to tell her about the recent situation of this person they knew each other?
If that's the case, it would be easy to do.
She was going to take advantage of Shangguan Shishi's visit here to test her mind. (To be continued......)
