Thirty-one, conspiracy - the great prince (II)

When Chu Zizhan heard Chu Boyu say this, he calmed down, thought about it carefully, and felt that there was some truth, so he nodded thoughtfully, and asked Chu Boyu slowly, "Then when will you leave?" ”

"I just informed you of this in advance, so that you can be prepared, as for when to leave, I have to wait for the imperial brother to order someone to inform you."

"Thank you, Uncle Huang, my nephew remembered."

"Then I won't bother you here, I have to go back to the Liang Palace, Ci'er is still waiting for me to take the school to learn from him."

Saying that, Chu Boyu left Chu Zizhan's bedroom, and Chu Zizhan looked at Chu Boyu's departing back thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Chu Zizhan came back to his senses, and then shouted to the door: "Someone! ”

As soon as the words fell, a person who looked like a little eunuch pushed the door in, bent over and bowed his back respectfully to Chu Zizhan and said, "Great prince." ”

"Let Lord Zhou Kui Zhou come here."

The little eunuch received the order, turned around and left the study, not long after, there was a knock on the door of the study, Chu Zizhan knew that it should be Zhou Kui coming, so he said to the knocker outside: "Come in." ”

The person who came in was Zhou Kui, the head of the guards, and when he saw Chu Zizhan sitting behind the table, Zhou Kui clenched his fists and said to Chu Zizhan: "The eldest prince, you are looking for me." ”

"Has there been any recent movement from the prince?"

Zhou Kui thought for a while, and then said: "The prince has not been abnormal recently, if you want to say anything abnormal, it's just that there are fewer people in Yanliu Lane, and he is very honest in the palace on weekdays to help His Majesty review some folds." ”

Chu Zizhan heard Zhou Kui say that his second brother had been to Yanliu Lane less recently, so the anger in his heart didn't come out, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph, it must have been the father who beat him recently, if he doesn't restrain a little more, he will really lose the face of our royal family." ”

"The Great PrinceΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Zhou Kui reminded Chu Zizhan, who was a little excited, and this made the eldest prince know that he had lost his words.

Chu Zizhan coughed a little embarrassed, and then said to Zhou Kui: "Does the prince have any other actions?" For example, he asked you to pay attention to my movements? ”

Zhou Kui shook his head, and then said to Chu Zizhan: "The prince's movements have been very stealthy recently, and he seems to have doubts about me and doesn't talk to me. ”

Chu Zizhan frowned slightly, he didn't understand what he had done recently, which made his younger brother suspicious of Zhou Kui.

The head of the palace guard was his own person from the beginning, but the relationship between the two didn't even know Chu Boxiong, and later the prince took the initiative to befriend Zhou Kui, and Chu Zizhan secretly signaled Zhou Kui to get close to the prince and make an internal response for himself.

Zhou Kui has been searching for news for himself for many years, and there has been no problem, but I don't know why something went wrong at this time.

"Well, let's not get in touch with each other recently, if there is news, send my cronies to come to me," Chu Zizhan paused, and then continued to Zhou Kui with concern, "Be careful yourself, don't let my second brother find out about our relationship, you also know that although what he does is not in general, he is ruthless, if he finds out about the relationship between you and me, he will not be ruthless to me, but for you, he should try his best to get rid of you." ”

Zhou Kui thanked him, reassuring Chu Zizhan that he would act carefully.

Chu Zizhan was relieved that Zhou Kui was doing things, so he waved his hand at him, and then said, "Go down, so as not to be suspicious of the prince." ”

"The minister retired." Zhou Kui bowed down and left Chu Zizhan's bedroom.

As Chu Boyu said, just after the end of the day, Hou Sizheng appeared in Chu Zizhan's study with Chu Boxiong's message.

Chu Zizhan heard that the little eunuch outside had spread the news that Hou Sizheng was coming, so he hurriedly sorted out his clothes and went out of the study to greet the other party.

For this big eunuch, Chu Zizhan has no intention of slacking off, as the most popular and trusted eunuch next to his father, who in the court doesn't want to slap him, even the prince often shows favor to him, but Hou Sizheng seems to be a little oil and salt, no matter who shows favor to him, he will accept it, but he will not do anything for the other party, and the person who shows favor does not dare to do anything to Hou Sizheng, after all, there is the emperor behind him, and no one can move him.

"Father-in-law Hou, you are here, and you are not welcome." Chu Zizhan didn't want to upset the other party because of his slackness, so his attitude was lowered a lot.

Hou Sizheng politely said a few words to Chu Zizhan, and then said that the purpose of his coming over this time was just like what Chu Boyu said to Chu Zizhan before, the emperor asked Chu Zizhan to lead the black armor guard to Qijiazhuang, and the purpose was naturally needless to say, to make those ignorant people in Qijiazhuang become more sensible.

"The retainers take the order." After the oracle was announced, Chu Zizhan got up, and while asking his subordinates to boil water to make tea, he dragged Hou Sizheng and asked him to sit in his main hall for a while.

"Grandpa Hou, I have some good things here, I'll bring them to you later."

Hou Sizheng smiled, but he was not moved by Chu Zizhan's invitation, but shirked and said: "Please also ask the eldest prince to set off to Qijiazhuang as soon as possible, Your Majesty still has some important matters, the old slave will not stay here for too long, and the old slave will retire first." ”

Chu Zizhan's reaction to Hou Sizheng was not too surprising, after all, since the day the crown prince was established, most of the courtiers in the court had this attitude towards him, and Chu Zizhan was no longer surprised. At this time, he just looked like he was inviting Hou Sizheng and sent Hou Sizheng away.

After sending Hou Sizheng away, Chu Zizhan pursed his lips, and then shouted to the little eunuch on standby: "Prepare the carriage and go to the mansion of Lord Shang Luoyan." ”

When Chu Boyu came out of the palace, he saw Yang Kang waiting for him at the palace gate.

"Let's go, let's go home." As he spoke, Chu Boyu patted the horse that was snorting boredly, and then got into the carriage.

It's just that Chu Boyu, who had just entered, immediately poked his head out again, and then said to Yang Kang: "Let's go to the Soldiers and Horses, before the imperial brother said that he would send me a few good horses, and go there to find a place for them in advance." ”

Yang Kang was naturally obedient to Chu Boyu's words, and when he heard that Chu Boyu was going to the Terracotta Division, he had no other objections, so he directly shook the whip in his hand, and the carriage drove in the direction of the Terracotta Division.

Chu Boyu's carriage arrived in front of the door of the Soldiers and Horses Division after a while, and the two guards guarding the door naturally recognized the carriage of the Liang Wangfu, and as soon as the carriage stopped, the two guards hurriedly ran over and greeted Chu Boyu.

In fact, as one of the eight divisions of the inner government of the Yasi Capital, there is no real steward, if anything, Chu Boxiong is barely one, because since the establishment of the Yasi Capital Mansion in the fifteenth year of the Great Calendar, although this Terracotta Division has been assigned to the Yasi Dufu, but it has always been managed by Chu Boxiong, that is to say, the Dadu Division of the Terracotta Division is actually the Emperor of Chu, not because of how important this Terracotta Division is, but because Chu Boxiong really likes horses, and he thinks that he can't raise good horses in the palace. He directly threw it to the Terracotta Division to raise, and over time, Chu Boyu didn't want to set up the post of Terracotta Division, so he simply let Chu Boxiong get it himself.

And just a few days ago, Chu Boxiong threw the authority of the Soldiers and Horses Division to Chu Boyu again, the reason was to concentrate on the government and politics, and he couldn't play with things. ”

Although Chu Boyu complained in his heart, he finally took over the stall, not to come over today to find a place for his future good horse, but actually to come and see what the Terracotta Division, one of the eight divisions, had been ruined by his own emperor brother.
