39429 Chapter 268 Emergent Retreat

When the prince returned from the Jinjian Palace, he urgently summoned Fan Rui's apse to discuss the matter.

When Fan Rui hurried to the apse, he found the prince standing in the empty apse, his body trembled uncontrollably, his face was as pale as a dead man, and his eyes revealed the look of despair that only the end of the road can have.

Fan Rui couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”

The prince turned his head, his eyes were bloodshot, his lips trembled and said: "He" He is finally going to do it, he, he is finally going to depose the prince Lonely

Fan Rui was shocked: "Your Highness, what is the poison?" What happened this morning? ”

In the imperial history of the "Early Dynasty Today", Zheng Ru was inherited, and more than a dozen officials jointly proposed to his father that the prince be deposed and a new prince was set up, and the prince's body was still trembling.

Seeing this, Fan Rui hurriedly stepped forward and didn't care about losing his manners. Stretched out his hands and pressed the prince's shoulders hard, and finally the prince's body stopped trembling.

Fan Rui looked at the desperate prince and said softly: "Your Royal Highness the prince, you must be calm. At this time, it is a matter of life and death, you can't mess up your own proportions, otherwise, your great cause is really over! ”

When the prince heard this, his pale face finally regained a little blood, looked at Fan Rui gratefully, and sighed: "At the time of life and death, only Mr. stands by Lone's side and is willing to reach out to help each other, and this kindness will never be forgotten." ”

Fan Rui smiled calmly: "Your Highness's words are wrong, when you are in danger, Your Highness is not only standing beside you, you also have tens of thousands of border soldiers." and the private army in the mountains and forests, nearly 100,000 troops and His Highness advance and retreat together, why is Your Highness lonely? ”

When the prince heard this, he finally settled down, and his eyes regained their previous self-confidence, although his face was still a little pale, but the temperament of the whole person had gradually changed, and he no longer looked panicked and helpless just now.

"What Mr. said is good, with Lone's strength, Lone's prince, is not something that those people can depose if they stand on the Jinjian Hall and say a few words, and they can be deposed after a few twists and turns!"

Seeing that the crown prince had regained his composure, Fan Rui smiled with satisfaction, and then frowned and asked, "Your Highness, are you sure?" Does the emperor really want to depose you? ”

A little resentment flashed on the prince's face. Nodding and saying: "It's confirmed, Zheng Ru's recital has been submitted, and the four major mistakes and crimes of Gu in the past ten years have been listed on the recital, and my father said that after thinking about it." Then call the ministers for reconsideration. ”

Fan Rui looked stunned, thought for a long time, and finally sighed: "That's right, the emperor really has the intention of abolishing the prince, maybe in a few days, the emperor will mobilize the ministers to write a letter, and finally push the boat down the river to depose His Royal Highness." ”

The prince's face was slightly panicked, and then he sneered: "He let Gu be the prince for ten years, Gu has been swallowing his anger for ten years, desperately trying to cater to him, please him, in front of the ministers and the people, Gu still has to work hard to play the role of a good prince, even laughing and crying can not help himself, now he is about to swallow his breath, but at this time he wants to depose Lone, is Lone just a mess of mud in his eyes, he can pinch as much as he wants?" ”

Fan Rui bowed his head and was silent.

There are only monarchs and ministers in the heavenly family, there are no fathers and sons, and the so-called family affection is nowhere to be found, which can be held in the hand. The only thing that makes people feel the most real is the supreme power.

"Your Highness, the situation is critical, so you should make plans as soon as possible." Seeing that the prince was getting excited again, Fan Rui hurriedly reminded him softly in his ear.

The prince was startled, and his face suddenly became fierce and cold. Although he still has a smile on his face, that smile is involuntarily terrifying.

"Sir, he has given us a great opportunity when the arrow is ready," the prince looked ahead and chuckled softly.

"What are the chances?"

Five days later, he was going to the Temple of Heaven on Shenlie Mountain in the northern part of the city to worship the Heavenly Prince, with a smile and a smile.

Fan Rui was taken aback: "Your Highness's meaning, it must be"

The prince smiled and nodded: "Yes, the hidden dragon goes to sea, although he is armed with the power of wind and thunder, but after all, he is already a hidden dragon that has left the sea, why be afraid?" At that time, several princes in the capital, and officials above the fourth rank followed, those who wanted to kill, those who wanted to stay, these people were all among them. Sir, is this a great opportunity? ”

A little surprise flashed on Fan Rui's face, and then he disappeared quickly, frowning and wondering, "How does Your Highness plan to move?" ”

The prince smiled, and laughed extremely fiercely and resentfully: "Without him, slay the dragon!" ”

Fan Rui was shocked when he heard this.

Killing the king, killing the father, if this act is known to the world,

The prince ignored Fan Rui's frightened expression. Gu Gu said: "There are more than 30,000 people in the forbidden army. This time he went out of the city to worship the sky, he couldn't bring them all, at most more than 10,000 people, and the four-way army guarding the capital, although there were many people, but if they did not obey the edict, they would never dare to act rashly. Otherwise, you will be labeled as a rebel. Therefore, we only need to exterminate all the more than 10,000 forbidden troops in his ** capital, and then capture him alive or "kill, and he will be alone today." At that time, Lone announced to the outside world that his father was seriously ill and had died on the way to worship the heavens on Shenlie Mountain, and Lone gathered those officials who followed, and those who did not obey were killed

"Then what about how many princes there are?" Fan Rui couldn't help but ask.

The prince's face twitched: "Those princes fought because of the sudden death of their father and the emperor, so they fought because of the emperor on the way back to Beijing, and finally they also transferred troops to attack the forbidden army, trying to usurp the throne as the emperor. So Lone sent troops in the name of the prince to separate them, but they were stubborn, and still led the army to attack each other, Lone couldn't stop it, so he had to watch sadly as these royal brothers were killed in the chaos of the army."

Saying that, the prince laughed, looked at Fan Rui and said, "Sir, I don't know if this is explained, will the people of the world believe it?" ”

If the situation is really as the prince expected, then it would be wonderful to explain it like this, not only can the fight with the forbidden army be cleverly covered, but also kill the princes who competed with the prince, but also won the prestige of the prince among the people, killing three birds with one stone, it is really an excellent explanation.

However, is it really so simple for the emperor to sacrifice to the sky?

Fan Rui's eyes were full of worry, and he frowned at the prince and said, "Your Highness, you should think twice about this matter." Your Royal Highness try to imagine, the emperor is now seriously ill in bed, but at this moment when he is about to depose you, he suddenly decided to go out of the city to worship the sky, there must be something strange in this, and I suspect that this is a carefully arranged by the emperor."

The prince nodded and said: "Mr. thinks about it, Gu also feels that his father's sacrifice to the sky is strange, he has been sick for a long time, and he has long been bad at it, and suddenly said that he wants to sacrifice to the sky, it is inevitable that there will be fraud in it, but"

The prince turned his head to look at Fan Rui, his eyes were already full of excitement and greed: "But." Don't you think that although the risks are extremely high, the benefits that come with it are also very huge? Just destroy the 10,000 forbidden troops who are with them. The whole day will be in the palm of the lonely hand, a bamboo overturned, then the lonely king will be in the world, become the king of the Peng, the world is in the service of the Sichuan; Surrender and worship

The prince licked his lips excitedly, and his eyes lit up unconsciously and said, "Sir." Lone has strength, Lone has nearly 100,000 troops, one is on the side of the capital, the other is south of the Yellow River, under the attack of the two armies, even if he has any traps, in the face of strong strength, there is still no need to worry, sir, do you say it makes sense? ”

Fan Rui looked at the prince worriedly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness"

The prince came back from his excitement, looked at Fan Rui's worried eyes, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sir." Lone knows what you're going to say, yes, Lone also realizes that this might be a trap." Excuse me, sir, does Lone still have a choice? Five days later, the father and emperor returned to Beijing from the Shenlie Mountain sacrifice, if nothing else, he will hold a big court meeting, convene the three princes and the ministers of the court, and review the matter of deposing the prince, at that time, Lone can only kneel honestly in the Jinjian Palace, and the warrior in front of the palace will take off the crown of the prince on the lone's head, maybe Lone will be demoted to a commoner"

"Sir, the situation is so critical, even if it is a trap, Lone has to take a risk, if Lone loses the name of this prince, it is better to die in the trap he set for Lone now."

Fan Rui looked at the prince heavily, sighed, and finally nodded.

The prince exhaled softly, as if exhaling the depression in his chest, and calmed down, and his elegant smile returned to his face.

"Sir, send a message to General Chai in Youzhou. Within five days, he ordered him to lead his soldiers to the foot of Shenlie Mountain, and instructed him to pay attention to hiding the whereabouts of the army. Send spies to investigate carefully along the way, and send him a transfer order from the military department, if you encounter checkpoints along the way, you can temporarily deal with it. ”

"Yes."

"In addition, the army of the lonely private chest, you also sent a letter to the past, the whole army is on alert, and the poison is ready to go. Five days later, we will drive to Shenlie Mountain! ”

"Yes."

A strange smile appeared on the prince's face, and five days later, nearly 100,000 troops surrounded Shenlie Mountain, father. Will you still be as lucky as Pan Wenyuan rebelled this time and insist on waiting for reinforcements?

Fan Rui looked at the prince with a somewhat crazy smile on his face, and suddenly felt a piercing cold. A heart is sinking as if it had fallen into hell, and it sank all the way."

The net dispersed early, and Fang Zheng boarded the carriage and returned home before the spring rain fell.

His face was gloomy, and when he entered the door, he ignored the greetings from the people, and went back to the small courtyard, and when he entered the door, he fell to the bed without taking off his shoes. Regardless of the snoring and falling asleep.

Many people gathered outside the small courtyard, with puzzled expressions.

This young master, who always smiles on weekdays, as if he lacks roots in everything, what happened to him in the past two days?

No one can tell.

They only knew that since the young master came back from the palace three days ago, he was full of worries, always with a straight face, and even his words were much less than usual.

The young master of the Fang family was unhappy, and the people began to worry about him. What happened to the always optimistic and cheerful young master that made him unhappy for several days? Could it be that the situation in the capital has changed recently

Close?

The ones who are most worried about Fang Zheng are, of course, his wives.

Yanran, Sister Feng and Xiao Lu stood at the door of Fang Zheng's bedroom, staring at the tightly closed door with beautiful eyebrows, hesitating for a while.

"What's going on with my husband these days?" Yanran's two willow eyebrows frowned tightly, and her delicate face like a flower gradually added a little sadness.

"Yes, every day except for the court, he goes home to sleep, his face is like a piece of pig iron, cold and hard, what happened to him in the court?" Sister Feng was also as sad as Yanran.

Xiao Lu said softly: "Is it that the young master has been busy with state affairs recently, too hard, too tired, so he will keep a straight face?" ”

Yan Ran and Sister Feng looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

If it is said that this husband of theirs is tired and hard because of state affairs, even they don't believe it as a wife.

It's not that this husband is tired of working hard, he is tired of eating, drinking, and playing, but he has never been tired of working on state affairs. Only Xiao Lu, the youngest and most heartless sister of this year, would say that.

"Do you want to send someone to send a message to the princess in the palace?" Sister Feng hesitated.

Yan Ran thought about it, shook her head and said: "It's still not necessary, the emperor is seriously ill now, and my sister is serving the emperor in the palace, she is already very sad, if Fujun worries her again, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it."

Sister Feng bit her lip, looked at Yan Ran with pretty eyes, and said softly: "Or" You go in and talk to him? He likes you the most and listens to you the most."

Yanran blinked and smiled, "Look at what you said." Doesn't he like you on weekdays? A few days ago, he was lying in the corner outside the wing room and peeking at you taking a shower."

Sister Feng's face turned red in an instant, and she said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, how can there be such a thing"

Yanran smiled: "I'm not talking nonsense, I don't believe you didn't know at the time, when he peeked at you, he screamed something in his mouth, "Yiku, Yiku." Target. The whole yard heard it."

Saying that, Yanran winked at Sister Feng and said, "I saw that the oil lamp in the wing room was turned brighter at the time, hehe, you deliberately pretended not to know, and then deliberately let him peek to see more clearly, right?" ”

Sister Feng's pretty face was as red as a pomegranate ripe in a net. He said to himself: "Nonsense! I didn't even know he was outside" That shameless guy often does this stealing and touching dogs, who of us hasn't been peeked at by him in the shower? Hum! Don't laugh at anyone, you can't run! ”

Saying that, Sister Feng's face turned even redder, and she covered her face and said with a smile: "Don't you know that after that shameless guy peeked at it, he also got the best body award, the best beautiful leg award, and the best big breasts award."

Yan Ran's pretty face also turned red, and she glared at Sister Feng with disgust, then turned her beautiful eyes, looked at Xiao Lu and smiled: "Bu Lu, my husband usually loves you so much." I've been holding you in the palm of my hand, and now my husband is unhappy, so you can go in and ask him. ”

Xiao Lu shook his head, and then hurriedly waved his little hands, and said with a bitter face: "No, I only know how to serve the young master, and I don't understand anything else."

Yanran gritted her teeth and said, "Don't push it." Let's go in together, and the husband will treat us well. Even if he's unhappy, he won't scold us. Let's go. ”

In the bedroom, Fang Zheng was still asleep, although he had slept for several days, his face still had a little tiredness, even if he was asleep, his brows were furrowed tightly, as if he didn't even have a dream

Happy.

The third girl saw Fang Zheng looking so tired. Suddenly, Fang's heart ached, and her eyes turned red in an instant.

Yan Ran stepped forward, stretched out her slender hand, and gently smoothed Fang Zheng's frowning brows, who knew that her brows were flat. Tightly wrinkled again.

Yan Ran couldn't help but shed tears, and said softly: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Seeing Fang Zheng lying on the bed horizontally, the quilt was not covered, and there was no pillow under his head, Yan Ran stepped forward to take off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, and then picked up Fang Zheng's head and gently put it on his lap to let him sleep

Sister Feng and Xiao Lu also took off Fang Zheng's shoes and covered him with a thin quilt, and the three girls surrounded Fang Zheng motionlessly, looking at his sleeping face stupidly, and the sunset outside the window was gradually sinking. The whole bedroom is shrouded in a golden light, and the whole picture is beautiful and serene.

It wasn't until it was dark that Fang Zheng woke up.

Before he could open his eyes, he felt a faint fragrance coming from the tip of his nose, and then felt a warm fragrant nephrite under his head, which made people can't help but revel in it.

"Who is this? Who put such a big piece of cotton on top of me? Fang Zheng closed his eyes and said lazily.

"Huh? This lump of cotton is actually very elastic "Wow, it's bounced, wow!" Bounced it again,"

Yan Ran sneered and said softly: "Husband, don't make trouble, when you wake up, hurry up and wash up and get ready to eat." ”

Fang Zheng hugged Yan Ran with his backhand, his head resting on her lap, and muttered, "What kind of food?" Let me lie down a little longer,"

The three girls smiled, then looked up at each other a few times, Yanran lowered her head, and asked softly, "What's wrong with my husband?" It's been sullen, you know, we're all "worried about you." ”

Fang Zheng looked stunned, and then sighed. sat up, looked at the three girls with a look of concern, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I'm fine." The situation between the DPRK and China is critical, and seeing that a life-and-death struggle is about to start again, I am "really tired of this"

The third girl quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, blinked her beautiful big eyes, and said coquettishly: "The husband is depressed about this? ”

Fang Zheng was silent for a moment, and said, "Maybe" is more than that. To be honest, I don't want to be an official anymore. ”

The three girls looked at each other, and Fang Zheng's words made them feel a little inexplicable.

Fang Zheng himself didn't know why he suddenly had this thought, since the emperor asked him to be orphaned in the dormitory a few days ago, the conversation of that day still flashed in his mind from time to time.

The emperor's expectations for him and his generosity. and his "defense" made him feel both moved and sad, as well as a little disappointed and chilling. These feelings were mixed together, and somehow, he faintly retreated.

Fang Zheng was scared. This time, I felt scared from the bottom of my heart. The home of the ruthless emperor. For the sake of the country, anyone can take it out and sacrifice, then if the fat man ascends the throne as the emperor in the future. Will he do this to himself?

Maybe today he can still be called a brother to the fat man, when he ascends the throne, it is conceivable that he will definitely follow the tide and rise to the top, but what about five years later? What about ten years from now? Will fat people still treat themselves like they do now? Will he still be the honest and honest fat man he is today? When he held the power in his hands, the light had gradually covered the fat man, the emperor. Is the fat man still unprepared?

If, years later, when the fat emperor's mind is mature, when he feels that his existence has hindered the path of his emperor, what should he do at that time? Stick out your head and let this former classmate and friend, the brother in distress, order to be killed, or simply rebel like Pan Shangshu and the prince, and become the emperor himself?

Fang Zheng smiled bitterly.

He didn't want either.

He just wants to be like the vast majority of young masters, with his minions all over the street to tease women, walk dogs and play birds and crickets, but the situation is pressing, after many years, what will become between him and the fat man, who can predict?

Slowly glancing at the three girls in front of him, Fang Zheng rubbed his face vigorously and said with a smile: "If one day I am not an official, will you dislike your husband and gentlemen." A copper-smelling businessman? ”

The three girls looked at each other and smiled, Yan Ran lightly nodded Fang Zheng's head, and said with a smile: "How can we dislike you?" You don't look like an official in the first place. It's a shame that you are still crooked, and you have made so many contributions to the court, God is really not long-sighted

Fang Zheng said with a smile: "After I push the fat man to the position of the prince this time, I will resign, okay?" Let's find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in seclusion. ”

The third girl couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Really? Did you really quit your job? Great, honestly, you're in front of this official. From time to time, when we encounter some dangerous things, we are all worried, for fear that you will have something long and short, "It would be great if you resigned, let's find a place to live in seclusion according to what you said."

Fang Zheng looked at them, and when he saw that they were all happy, he couldn't help but smile apologetically: "The days I have been an official have made you worry and be afraid. When everything is settled, I will resign immediately from this broken official, who likes to be whom. ”

Yanran nodded and smiled: "Okay, okay, husband, let's find catty." In a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, buy a few acres of fertile land, build a grass house, and dig a puddle of fish ponds, during the day, you fish by the fish pond, we accompany you, at night, light an oil lamp, we paint, compose poems, and sing tunes for you."

The more Yan Ran spoke, the more excited she became, her beautiful big eyes flashed with joy, and Sister Feng and Xiao Lu also listened to it with a look of longing, and their pretty faces were more charming.

Fang Zheng touched his chin and said, "It sounds pretty good."

Then Fang Zheng suddenly asked, "What about the wine?" How can you compose a song without wine? Where does the wine I drink come from? ”

Yan Ran paused, and then smiled: "We can make our own wine, grow our own grain, and then brew it ourselves."

What about the cook? If I want to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, I have to hire a cook, right? ”

Yan Ran shook again, and then hesitated: "Seclusion in the world, please, cook?" Isn't coarse tea and light rice just as delicious? ”

Fang Zheng frowned unhappily.

"Well, there must be a few Painters nearby, right? What if I'm in the mood and want to drink flower wine? ”

Yanran nodded his head in annoyance. "It's not enough for you to have our sisters. Do you want to go outside for a drink of flower wine? ”

"That's it" Fang Zheng touched his chin and stood up: "Seclusion, um." Think again, think about it

Saying that, Fang Zheng put on his shoes, walked out with his hands in a deep groan, and said something in his mouth: "Make your own wine?" What should I do if formaldehyde exceeds the standard? Without a cook, what if I want to eat the Eight Treasures Feast? Who has ever seen the young master eat coarse tea and light rice? It's even worse if you don't have a porthole, it's a daily necessities, well, it's not appropriate to live in seclusion for the time being, it's very inappropriate."

Fang Zheng's face was heavy, and he walked out of the door all the way, floating like a wandering spirit to an unknown place.

Only the three daughters were left in Fang Ran, looking at each other. The expression is like crying and laughing, which is very weird.

Yan Ran collapsed her fragrant shoulders and said with a small mouth: "I was wrong" I shouldn't have mentioned this to him! ”

Sister Feng bit her lip and said hatefully: "This guy is a drunkard by nature, you tell him to live in seclusion, it is easier to persuade the tiger to eat grass"

Xiao Lu, who had no heart in the city, was also busy nodding and agreed: "That's it." ”
