Chapter 103: Visit
The discussion in Prince Ning's Mansion lasted until late at night, and on the other side, the Eighth Prince's Mansion, which had not been paid attention to for a long time, seemed to be a little lively at the moment.
The emperor's holy decree, naturally, people who want to tie the knot on the pole are indispensable at this time.
Cheng Rang's threshold is almost broken, and people from all walks of life still want to step on it.
Originally, when the emperor appointed Qi Xiu as Prince Ning, many people could see that this was just an expedient measure that the emperor came up with to balance the crown prince.
However, Ren Qixiu just took this opportunity to show off his might.
Such a move was not happy in the eyes of many people, but they also had to take into account Ren Qixiu's face, and at the same time, they were not sure what the emperor thought.
For Ren Qixiu, they still had a little awe.
But for so long, the emperor didn't really give Ren Qixiu any real tasks to do.
If it is said that the prince was sent to fight the war, it is still excusable, then now for a small disaster relief, the emperor is unwilling to let Ren Qixiu go, which shows his disgust for Ren Qixiu.
First of all, Ren Qixiu was suddenly favored, and there was no background support, not to mention what happened in Nanzhou recently, for Ren Qixiu, it can be described as a catastrophe.
Something happened to his younger brother and adoptive mother, and it was really rare for Ren Qixiu to be able to keep the position of this prince, and he even begged the emperor to send him so arrogantly.
The courtiers all laughed at Ren Qixiu's incompetence behind his back.
In fact, in their opinion, Cheng Rang also took the initiative to ask for help, at least he gave Ren Qixiu a step down, if no one else was willing to go, but the emperor still did not choose Ren Qixiu, Ren Qixiu was afraid that it would be much more embarrassing than now.
But Ren Qixiu didn't understand this truth, in his opinion, it was obvious that Cheng Rang had robbed his position, so he naturally wouldn't let Cheng Rang have a good time.
Not to mention the strength of Cheng Rang now, Ren Qixiu is destined to be the enemy of this younger brother.
If Ren Qixiu, who had just come back in the morning, saw the grand occasion in Cheng Rang's mansion now, he was afraid that he would be even more angry, but after the cardinal voice was explained, Ren Qixiu didn't care much about it, and all he was thinking about was how to win over the ministers from all walks of life while he was alone in Beijing.
Shuyin took Fucheng back to the Sixteenth Moon.
As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, Fu Cheng was a little impatient to confirm to the pivot:
"Master, do you want to help Prince Ning or harm him?"
"Why should I help him?" Shuyin looked at the expression on Fu Cheng's face, looking like he had seen a ghost.
Fu Cheng relieved his mind a little, since Shuyin was disgusted with Ren Qixiu, it was even more impossible to accept Ren Qixiu's idea.
It's all men, and Fu Cheng naturally sees it clearly.
But for the cardinal, I don't know what's wrong, and suddenly I'm stunned, and the whole person has become a little less like myself.
Today's Fucheng can only be explained as the previous times, which is explained as the pivotal sound is still his master after all, and caring for the master is also his obligation.
The pivot reacted much faster than Fu Cheng, but since Fu Cheng still kept himself in the dark, the pivot didn't want to be reminded, as if all this didn't exist.
Now they're back to business.
"But what you said to Prince Ning..."Even Fu Cheng couldn't react a little, what was wrong with Ren Qixiu's words.
Shuyin smiled.
"There are some things that can't just be taken on the surface."
The pivotal voice analyzed Fu Cheng:
"The current situation of Ren Qi Xiu, everyone can see it clearly, since the emperor is unwilling to choose him for this kind of thing at the moment, then in the emperor's heart, he must have lost his value."
"But not necessarily for us." Shuyin patiently explained to Fu Cheng:
"Although I persuaded him to change his way of thinking, so that he felt that it was good to be able to stay in the capital, but whether it was the eighth prince or the crown prince, in fact, they had long looked down on Ren Qi Xiu and Prince Ning, and they were no longer worthy of being opponents at this moment."
"But since this is the case, then Prince Ning will definitely encounter difficulties when recruiting ministers in Beijing."
Fu Cheng asked at the cardinal:
"When the time comes, he'll find out that this was our doing."
"At that time, we won't choose to stay with Prince Ning."
Shuyin's words have a deep meaning, and Fu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, succumbing to Ren Qixiu's assignment for so long, Sixteen Luyue is finally about to officially get out of Ren Qixiu's control.
If there is no Sixteen Luyue, I am afraid that Ren Qixiu will be hit hard, and Ren Qixiu wanted to rebel at the beginning, those people are still cultivating by Ren Qi, and the daily expenses are also a large sum, most of these are also from the Sixteenth Luyue, as long as the Sixteen Luyue can be clean with Ren Qixiu, then for Ren Qixiu, it is really difficult to turn over.
Fucheng couldn't wait for this day for a long time.
On the other hand, Cheng Rang's mansion, when he came back from the palace today, Cheng Rang was already a little sure that the emperor would choose him, and even arrived soon, and Cheng Rang received the order as usual to thank him.
For a prince, such a thing is really nothing, but for Cheng Rang, this is his first step in government affairs, from the previous naïve and lively, to the current low-key and introverted.
Cheng Rang naturally understood how he had come all the way.
Among the courtiers, today is considered to have gained knowledge.
The prince is still the prince, but the Prince Ning who was beautiful in the past, but at this time, it may not be, maybe he can balance the prince, he has changed from Prince Ning to the eighth prince, about how the eighth prince was hunted down and reappeared in front of everyone, at this time, it was mentioned again, speaking of which, Cheng Rang brought the people who went straight to the palace that day seems to be quite powerful.
It's just because Cheng Rang's later low-key silence made all this almost covered up.
Now that it has been brought up again, looking at the backs of Cheng Rang and Sui Yuesheng talking and laughing today, it is rumored that the Eighth Prince has received the support of Suifu.
This is much more important than the support of other mansions.
When the wind blows, many people naturally choose to go with the flow.
It doesn't matter whether it should be or not, it's just that others have given gifts, and I can't be left behind.
In one day, Cheng Rang's house was full of things.
Pei Zhe finally saw that although he was only in the court, his master had obviously become an upstart in the court.
Sorting things into categories, Pei Zhen knocked on Cheng Rang's study door:
"Master, everything is placed."
Cheng Rang said that he was not short of these.
Cheng Rang's financial resources are unimaginable, but he needs to be low-key at this moment.
But in the end, he decided to gradually emerge, and Cheng Rang had no reason to refuse in vain for the kindness of others, but he didn't want to see it.
simply handed it over to Pei Zhe, and Cheng let himself be alone in the study.
Now that Pei Zhe is knocking on the door, Cheng Rang can go out.
"Let's go." Cheng Rang said let's go, the destination is very simple: Suifu.
Since the emperor ordered Suiyuesheng to follow Cheng Rang's side, Cheng Rang's visit to Suifu would not cause any discussion among others.
However, for the speculation in Beijing, Pei Zhi told Cheng Rang on the road.
"Find a way to let my father know." Only the more frank the lie, the more difficult it is to be exposed.
Cheng Rang understands this to the end, and Pei Zhe also understands.
"Yes." Pei Zhi nodded, thinking deeply.
"Here we are." Speaking of which, Suifu seems to be really not far from the Eighth Prince, but it is only a few streets away, and while speaking, Cheng Rang's sedan chair stopped.
As for how to turn the gossip in Beijing into the most beneficial direction for himself, it is obvious that Cheng Rang already knows it.
Naturally, he had already handed over a sticker to Suifu, and with Cheng Rang's identity as the current prince, Suiyuesheng still had to greet him at the door.
is different from the state in private, at this time, with the people coming and going at the gate of the house, Sui Yuesheng took off his official uniform and changed into an ordinary clothes, but he looked like some people.
In such a family of military generals, Sui Yuesheng seems to be very literati.
Seeing Cheng Rang get off the sedan chair, Sui Yuesheng took the initiative to greet him smartly.
"Weichen greets the Eighth Prince." When Sui Yuesheng said this, it really looked like the two were not familiar with each other.
Cheng Rang also maintained the same daily demeanor.
Both of them are extremely gentle and jade-like to the outside, and they are also beautiful men, and they are a beautiful scenery in front of this Suifu.
"The Eighth Prince, please." Sui Yuesheng personally guided Cheng Rang, and with the heavy mahogany gate of Suifu slowly closed, Suifu finally isolated all the reality of the outside world.
Inside, naturally, they are all their own people.
"The Eighth Prince, please." If it is said that Sui Yuesheng was doing superficial work just now, now this sentence can be said to be ridiculous.
Sui Cheng Rang has naturally been here many times, but this is the first time.
Speaking of the topography of Suifu, Cheng Rang is even more familiar than Suiyuesheng.
At this moment, there is no need to lead the way with Yuesheng.
Mrs. Sui was already waiting for the two of them in the lobby.
"Mother, the Eighth Prince has arrived." Sui Yuesheng walked in first and said to Mrs. Sui.
"See the Eighth Prince." When it comes to etiquette, Mrs. Sui is not lazy.
Cheng Rang obviously also knew the characteristics of Mrs. Sui, and at this time, Mrs. Sui gently picked it up and said:
"Madame, excuse me."
The emperor's holy decree is that everything is ready now, and tomorrow the two of them can set off for disaster relief in Di County with supplies.
"This way." Mrs. Sui personally led Cheng Rang to the backyard.
"Princess Sanssouci." Cheng Rang looked at the woman in front of him who was too thin, frowned and said.
Worry-free obviously still recognizes his younger brother.
From the time when Cheng Rang was also favored by the emperor, the two did not have any grudges because of their respective mothers.
It can be said that Worry-Free is indeed an exception among the palaces in the entire Southern State.
Almost everyone prefers her, regardless of position.
But it is such a person, and this time seems the most bleak.
Since I learned that the queen died, I didn't sleep well all night, and to this day, I can't stand it.
Just as Cheng Rang looked at the carefree frowning in front of him, other guests came to Suifu.
"Who." The speed of that person was too fast, so that Pei Zhe beside Cheng Rang couldn't react.
When the person in front of him landed, Pei Zhe was surprised to find that it was not one person, but two people.
This made Pei Zhe even more surprised, fortunately, the person in front of him was his acquaintance, and he had no malicious intentions.
Xiaocha didn't expect that Princess Sanssouci would become the person she is now as if she would fall down when the wind blows.
Wuwu looked at the few people in front of him, and wanted to raise a smile on his face, but he still couldn't help it.
"You're here." I haven't had firewood, rice, oil and salt for a few days, and it's a little hard to stand up at the moment.
However, in the end, there was a sudden circle of people around, and Worry-free still subconsciously wanted to say hello to them, but when he just stood up, he was weak and fainted.
"Princess!" Fortunately, Xiaoya next to her reacted fairly quickly and was able to catch it in time.
