25. The affairs of the court
At this moment, in the prince's bedroom, the prince Zhao Fangyin asked the black-clothed man outside the tent, "How is the dark grid established?" β
After the man in black saluted the prince, he replied: "Your Highness, it has been basically completed, and with a little trickery, you can bring that Gu Dahong!" β
"Hmmm! Not bad! Remember! Everything must be done without leakage. Now my father is surrounded by ministers, troubles the court, such a faint king, not in addition to the hearts of the common people, but all the capable princes and nobles, but even more eyeing me as a prince, although I control the court in the three civil officials and one military attachΓ©, so that it is equivalent to me, but my uncle Chu King is even more powerful, I am afraid that one day, he will be added to the yellow robe, even if he is unwilling, he has to respond, at that time, our situation will be troublesome! The severity of the matter has made the prince feel more and more uneasy, although the whole court is now more peaceful than usual, but this is precisely the calm before the storm.
Everyone is betting on their future, now, when the emperor is nearly seventy years old, and his lifespan is only a few years, although the king of Chu does not want to be the emperor, but he is Wen Taowu, many ministers and generals strongly support, and there are many factions that have not floated on the water, and the prince at this moment is faintly tired.
When he was named the prince on the first day, he knew that he wanted to love the people like a son, just and strict, so he had a benevolent heart to love the people and be fair, but later the battle in the court made him more and more heavy, and now, it has reached the impulse to become the emperor as soon as possible, among the many princes, there are many people who are more capable than him, he is afraid that the mediocre father will one day abolish him, so, as a last resort, the prince began to cultivate his own power, and finally now, she has also been a small chess piece from the original, Growing into a big tree that protects the hospital, now, he is one of the chess players, and if he wins, he will ascend the throne and work diligently, and enjoy the beauty of the future generations; If you lose, your head will be separated and your body will die, and no one will know about it in the future.
"Oh! That's right! What happened to that Zhao Xuan I brought your attention? Zhao Fangyin suddenly remembered the interesting boy he met on the street.
After receiving the prince's instructions, the man in black hurriedly told the prince about Zhao Xuan's situation over the past few days.
"Huh! That's kind of interesting, so I'm going to get a strong right-hand man again?! Ha ha! God is still in love with this prince! Ha ha! After listening to the man in black, the prince couldn't help laughing, and his heart, which had been a little heavy by these things recently, was also relieved at this moment.
The man in black hurriedly saluted the prince, "Subordinates congratulate the prince on getting a strategist!" β
The prince shook his head, "Hehe! Don't be happy too early, I originally wanted Gu Dahong to teach him well, and then take the time to bring him to my side, but I didn't expect that someone would have started to attack these neutral factions, I don't care what method you use, help me find out the current faction, no matter how big or small! β
"Yes! Subordinates obey the order! I wonder if His Highness has any other things to do? β
"Hmm" Before the prince could speak, he saw an announcement from outside the door, "The queen has arrived!" β
Seeing that the situation was not good, the prince hurriedly said to the man in black: "Hurry up and hide in the backyard!" β
"Yes!" As soon as he finished speaking, the man was gone.
Zhao Fangyin straightened his clothes, hurriedly walked to the door, and knelt down to greet the queen mother, "Erchen meets the queen mother!" β
I saw a woman coming in from outside the door, wearing a golden embroidered pomegranate skirt, dotted with blurry flowers, and auspicious clouds. Wearing a red gauze inside, depicting the golden nine phoenixes or hidden or visible. Three thousand green silk long hair like a waterfall straight down, set off by the imperial phoenix and hairpin, a little bead tassel embellishment, confused and noble. There is a soft white yarn on the arm, and there are a few silver threads in it, which are vaguely visible, and the fine workmanship will inevitably attract the jealousy of others. The eyebrows are slightly imprinted with peony marks, a little powder, and his face is only about forty years old, although he has already been a mother, but his face is handsome, and his waist is slender, which can not help but make people breathtaking.
Looking at the face of this queen, people can't help but think of Queen Xiao, and the appearance of the country has attracted the emperors of several dynasties to indulge in it.
"Yin'er, please get up quickly, let the queen mother take a good look at you!" The queen walked up to Zhao Fangyin and helped him up with both hands.
The two walked into the house hand in hand, "Yin'er, how have you lost weight recently, are you sick?" Seeing that the prince was a little emaciated, the mother couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"Yin'er thanked her mother for worrying, but she came in with some sorrows, and it was good to solve it!" In front of the queen mother, Zhao Fangyin has never lied, after all, the queen is her own son, and it is impossible for the queen to frame her own child.
The queen waved her long sleeves, picked up the tea poured by her child on the table, took two sips, and put it down gently, "The harem does not ask about the government, this is a law that has existed since ancient times, and the queen mother also knows that you should not ask you more, of course, I also know that as the prince, you don't know how many pairs of eyes behind you want you to fall, it seems that our Yin'er has really grown up, and he is no longer the child who is noisily asking the queen mother to tell him stories!" The queen gently rubbed Zhao Fangyin's face, looking at her child like this, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, her eyes were slightly red, in this world, who doesn't feel sorry for her child, tiger poison doesn't eat children, let alone a mother!
"Queen Mother!" Looking at his mother like this, although Zhao Fangyin was also a little sad, after all, there were so many palace maids and eunuchs guarding him, Zhao Fangyin had no choice but to say that he wanted to talk to his mother.
After Zhao Fangyin's reminder, the queen also knew that she had passed a little, and hurriedly returned her face, "Okay, okay!" Now it seems that my Yin'er has really grown up, your father is going to hunt in the western suburbs today, I just stopped by to see you, the queen mother is gone, if you have any problems that are difficult to solve in the future, come to my dormitory at any time to find me! β
As soon as he heard that the queen mother was leaving, Zhao Fangyin hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted, "Erchen respectfully sends off the queen mother!" β
After the queen left, Zhao Fangyin stood up, "Hahahaha!" I don't believe it, when my father dies, how can this Great Song Dynasty not be in my hands, I must get this thing that only belongs to me, and those who stand in my way, I must make your life worse than death! Back in his seat, Zhao Fangyin couldn't hold his breath, took out a pen and paper, and after a stick of incense, he handed over the written letter to a little eunuch in the palace, and asked him to fly a pigeon to pass the book to the king of Chu (to be continued)
