Chapter 185 Retreat as Advance
The prince's staff said: "Don't you, prince, everyone knows it's us at this time?" When the time comes, it will provoke the anger of the emperor, isn't it cheaper for the third prince? ”
As soon as he heard this, the prince calmed down and said, "Well, the third is still the third confidant." ”
The staff member smiled gloomily and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you don't have to worry, the four princes have someone to deal with him." This time, he compared the third prince and the second prince to the disaster relief at once, and the second prince and the third prince both wanted to deal with him. ”
When the prince heard this, he became interested and said, "Really? ”
The staff said: "The news I received said that the second prince had the worst realization in this time, and he was severely attacked by the emperor. I was already holding my breath. If the third prince and the fourth prince are all average, he will look better. As a result, the three princes were mediocre, but the four princes were very outstanding, and they were able to complete the disaster relief in advance without giving money and food to the imperial court, isn't this a slap in the face? He has repeatedly threatened to give the four princes a good look. It's just that I estimate that the strength in the hands of these two princes is a bit weak, and they can't succeed without a period of preparation. What about the three princes, I originally thought that this disaster relief was specifically for him to show his face, you didn't see how much food the emperor gave him, more than the Northwest Army, but the one who won was originally won by the four princes disappeared, can you not hold your breath? It's just that the third prince is now preparing for a big wedding, and he can't take care of it for a while, and after a few months, he will definitely make a move. We'll just have to wait. If you see the opportunity to push it secretly, maybe the four princes will be all over at once? ”
The prince laughed and said, "You're right. Well, the second child is a bastard, bold, reckless in doing things, but his background is a little lower, although he opened the mansion as a prince, his money is still a little tight, plus he loves both men and women, this burns money. I don't think there are any good guards. Dark guards and stuff like that. Why don't we help him and send a few people to join him, so that he can do it sooner. ”
The staff hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this trick is wonderful, this is to kill people with a knife, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is well versed in the art of war." ”
The prince nodded proudly and said, "Of course." It's this third child who is really a big trouble. You see how partiality my father was, in order to achieve fame for him, how much food was given to him, and he had this money and food in hand. Even a pig can do a good job of disaster relief. It's so infuriating. ”
The staff said: "The third prince will soon be unlucky. ”
The prince asked strangely, "What's wrong with him?" ”
The staff said, "He's about to get married?" ”
The prince said, "Hmph. What's going on here? He married the most beautiful woman in the capital, I secretly took a look, oh my God, what a stunning. ”
The staff said: "It's because of this princess that he is going to be unlucky." ”
The prince asked, "How so?" ”
The staff said: "This princess is probably the first in the royal family." But I heard that she didn't know a word. Think about it. This is illiterate, how to manage housework, how to be a virtuous helper to the three princes. Besides, His Royal Highness understands that the noblewoman of the royal family, the main task is to communicate. How many banquets this year is? This illiterate princess is not ugly in front of the concubines and the nobles in the palace? When the time comes, won't the three princes be laughed at every day? ”
The prince's eyes widened: "How can you not be illiterate." It's good, it's good, God help me. There are no queens who are illiterate. This point makes the distance between the third child and the throne far away. Hahaha. ”
The staff originally wanted to speak, but when they saw the prince's excited appearance, they held back and didn't speak. I thought to myself, is the princess illiterate and has no fate with the throne? Today's queen mother, the prince's biological mother has never been a princess?
In the palace, inside Zhong Cui Palace, Chen Guifei was listening carefully to the report of the palace maid Yu'er. After pondering for a moment, he said: "So, in the palace, there are several forces outside the palace that have to deal with the fourth?" ”
Yu'er said: "Yes, Niangniang, if it weren't for many things recently, maybe I would have dealt with it by now." The strength of the guards there is very weak. Moreover, he has to go out to socialize and go to court, which is impossible to prevent. It's not enough to rely on the idea of the palace and the princess's manpower. Do you want us to give some manpower to King Jinjun? ”
Chen Guifei waved her hand and said, "No, it's not the time yet, and you can't expose your strength too early." For a while, there have been too many limelight in the fourth child. What to do? It's best to retreat as a good way. ”
Yu'er was puzzled: "Retreat as advance?" ”
Chen Guifei nodded and said: "Yes, it used to be because the emperor didn't have the fourth child in his heart at all, naturally, among the courtiers, the people of the world don't know the fourth child." In this way, a few big things will be done, so that the fourth child will be in the limelight, and the emperor will have this person in his heart. Now the goal has been achieved, but it has been achieved so well that it has aroused jealousy. However, it is mediocre not to attract envy. It's inevitable. However, now the fourth child is too young, fledgling, and his strength is too weak, and he can't afford to touch these people. ”
Yu'er said: "Yes, King Jin only has a few friends of the same age around him, and he doesn't even have a better staff, let alone a guard." Even the most unpopular second prince has more than 200 guards around him. The girls of the families in the city have two or three hundred guards. It's really hard to compare. ”
Chen Guifei said: "Well, then we will surprise them, we will withdraw, leave the capital, the land of right and wrong, let the prince and the three princes fight, and when they are tired of fighting, we will come back and give them a thunderous blow." Hum! ”
Yu'er smiled and said, "Niangniang's idea is wonderful." But where do you leave the capital? ”
Chen Guifei said: "Yu'er, you go to the Jinjun Palace, let the fourth husband and wife come to visit me, and say that I am dizzy." ”
Yu'er hurriedly took the order.
In the study of the Jinjun Palace, Liu Yan listened to the words of his two friends, pondered for a while, and said, "I also think that I have been in the limelight for a while. It's going to make my brothers feel uncomfortable. ”
Zhao Chongyi said: "Our strength is too weak, we started late, they have been in business for so many years, they are intertwined, rich and powerful." ”
Liu Jingyuan said: "I have an idea. ”
Liu Yan hurriedly asked, "What's the idea?" ”
Liu Jingyuan said: "We are in Jiangnan disaster relief, the situation is so good, but this is a slow effort, now Jiangnan is in ruins, the seeds we sowed before have not been harvested, and we still need someone to take care of it." For example, to promote new varieties in Heyang Prefecture and Huzhou, this is next spring, this is not one state, this is two states, how to coordinate the affairs of the two states? Also, the cotton textile industry in Suzhou, Huzhou, and Heyang Prefecture will start at the end of next year, this is a big deal, and if it doesn't work, the civilians of our Great Chu Dynasty will be able to say goodbye to the era of wearing Ge Yi in the future. How can the affairs of these three states be coordinated? Also, we asked Brother Lin to go to several coastal prefectures in Suzhou to investigate and see where they are suitable as ports, and we are also preparing to develop maritime trade and increase a tax for the imperial court. This also involves several coastal states, not only the three states in the south of the Yangtze River. These things must be done by someone who has an identity and can shock the local officials and the powerful. ”
Liu Yan's eyes lit up: "Yes, I'm so old, I shouldn't enjoy it in the capital, let my father suffer for the world, I should share my father's worries for my father, and take the initiative to go outside to do things." ”
Zhao Chongyi nodded and said: "In this way, you can retreat as advance, avoid the struggle between right and wrong in this capital, and let the boss and the third fight go." We hid in the land south of the Yangtze River, with Uncle Chen taking care of us, and slowly cultivating our power. Wait until the time is right to return to the capital. Even if we leave the capital, there is a noble concubine in the palace, and we can always let the emperor remember us. Of course, the biggest advantage is that Ah Yuan can propose marriage now, maybe he will get married in Jiangnan? ”
Liu Jingyuan smiled and did not answer, but there was hope in his eyes. Looking at Liu Jingyuan's happy appearance, Zhao Chongyi and Liu Yan, two frustrated people in love, had dark eyes at the same time.
At this time, the big palace maid in the palace came to pass the decree, saying that the concubine was sick and asked the prince and princess of Jinjun to visit. Liu Jingyuan looked at Liu Yan and said: "Niangniang is an extremely smart person, and the women of the Chen family are not simple." Hurry up and take the princess with you. ”
Liu Yan and Zhao Chongyi flashed the figure of Hui Huang in their minds at the same time.
Liu Yan hurriedly took Princess Wenfeng to the palace. Zhao Chongyi and Liu Jingyuan did not leave, and stayed in the mansion to listen to the news. After a meal, Liu Yan took the princess back to the mansion. The princess went to the backyard, and Liu Yan hurriedly returned to the study, and unexpectedly in the study, when she saw her old friend, her heart warmed, and she hurriedly said: "Niangniang and we want to go together." I told my mother about the Jiangnan incident, especially the maritime trade. I said that I hope that the Chen family, Sister Lichuan, and I will do this together. Niangniang was very happy and said that she would talk to the emperor about this matter today. It doesn't seem like a problem. ”
Liu Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Chongyi quipped: "You're good now, remember to give the third uncle a boost when you drink the wine, and use their wine." ”
Liu Jingyuan said: "You are planning for their family at such a time, why didn't you see you become their son-in-law?" It's me, not surprisingly, I'm the third uncle's son-in-law. In the future, I can't call the third uncle, but I have to call my father-in-law. Hahaha, it's the first to go. The third uncle's good wine had to be cheaper for me. ”
Zhao Chongyi's teeth itched with hatred.
The next day, I thought that there would be news from the palace, saying whether it would be possible to go to Jiangnan, but after waiting for a long time, the concubine did not reply, but Liu Yan went down to the court and brought back a news that the emperor was going to summon Chen Yuanheng.
Liu Jingyuan and Zhao Chongyi looked at each other, what kind of medicine is sold in this emperor's gourd?
