I rolled over to the long window, closed my eyes, and fell asleep. Without noticing the sea behind me, you opened your eyes and looked at me bathed in the moonlight through the long window, my eyes were fascinated.

Canghai sighed shallowly, through the thick gauze curtain, the little girl sleeping on another bed in the room, her figure was vague and faint, like a pillow mist sleeping in the moon, elegant and dusty.

For a few days in a row, I read all the prince's information, and all my doubts were clear.

It turned out that Xu Shufei, the biological mother of the five princes, had just given birth to the third princess for the emperor, which made the middle-aged emperor Long Yan Dayue and a lot closer to the five princes.

Recently, the fifth prince Xuanyuan Tao has repeatedly been praised in the court, and there is a faint momentum to stand out. The emperor sent many errands that should have been done by the second prince Xuanyuan to the fifth prince Xuanyuan Tao, but they were all handled by the five princes perfectly.

For example, the personal guard of the emperor's bedroom, the most important position of the captain of the guard, the royal practice has always been held by the crown prince, and the emperor actually let the five princes be the captain. The direction of the court suddenly turned with this news, and the five princes effortlessly got a lot of secret help.

For example, in the court, in order to control the impending floods, whether to strengthen the houses or the embankment, the ministers disagreed, and for several days, they could not discuss, and the emperor was so angry that he slapped the table and scolded.

In the end, the fifth prince Xuanyuan Tao offered a migration strategy, which perfectly solved the river flood that consumed the most silver money in the imperial court every year.

The Five Princes also volunteered to set aside a fertile piece of land from the fief for the villagers who had migrated from the river to recuperate.

Since then, the villagers along the river, who have been threatened by floods for generations, can live and work in peace. All of a sudden, the old and the young were grateful to Dade, and no one praised the five princes for loving the people like sons. Hundreds of officials praised again and again, and even the most upright officials praised the court, and the five princes acted properly and were worthy of great responsibility.

In the secret report of the Penglai feast, the second prince Xuanyuan Ran praised admiration and admiration on the surface, and after returning to the palace, he dropped three tea cups in a row.

Another example is the day before a month ago, the representative saint drove to inspect the border city and comfort the soldiers guarding the frontier, which should have been an errand that only the second prince, who was currently the largest, was qualified to do, but the emperor just let Xuanyuan Tao, who was ranked fifth, go.

The five princes Xuanyuan Tao proudly drove out on behalf of the saint, and all the princes and officials had to go to the city gate to practice. The second prince Xuanyuan had to go too, his face was as gentle and elegant as usual when he toasted goodbye, and when he returned to the palace in private, he angrily smashed all his cherished porcelain ornaments in the study. This is a slap in the face!

In addition, in the latest secret report, the fifth prince Xuanyuan Tao actually secretly gathered the third prince Xuanyuan Lie and the sixth prince Xuanyuan Xuan! The three princes secretly formed a party for personal gain, which means that the five princes already have the support of military generals and the advice of the six princes.

This opponent became stronger and stronger, and under persecution, the second prince Xuanyuan Ran began to lose his breath.

I'm starting to wonder, the second prince is preparing to frame the five princes? This method is rough, how can the five princes easily enter the pit? There is a scheming sixth prince Xuanyuan Hao next to him, beware of beating the dog and not dying, but being bitten!

But let these people eat dogs, I'll have to think about it and see if I can make a profit?

Canghai has been very busy these days, going out early, and coming back after dark. His secret guard stayed out of my sight day and night, as if I would disappear when he wasn't with me.

In the evening, I yelled to see Ginkgo biloba, did her acne get better. Canghai immediately sent someone out of the city directly to visit Ginkgo on my behalf.

Before going to bed, I learned that Ginkgo's acne had begun to stabilize, and I wanted to see her, but I was not allowed to go out. Because in the past two days, the pox has broken out in full force. Not only in the suburbs, but even in the imperial capital, there was a lot of mourning, and every household was busy cooking vinegar and burning wormwood, and the entire imperial capital was sour.

I had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, asking Canghai to bring back the latest Penglai feast secret report every day, and to tell everything that happened in the court that day.

Five days ago, the emperor severely reprimanded the princes that they would not share the worries of the country and the people! The pox disease was menacing and spreading faster and faster, while the princes were only cowering in the imperial capital, helpless!

scolded fiercely, the second prince knelt down and took the initiative to ask for the most serious pox in the suburbs of Beijing. The emperor promised, and praised him greatly, no matter whether it can play a role in the spread of pox, at least, his second prince has the heart to share his worries!

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the princes all hid the mentality of watching jokes, with a solemn face, and no one objected or echoed it.

For three days in a row, the second prince stayed in the suburbs of Beijing, treating the sick all night, extending the medical treatment and delivering medicine, and doing it himself. On the fourth day, the pox disease was temporarily suppressed, and the number of people infected with pox in the suburbs of Beijing no longer increased.

Early today, after hearing this, the emperor finally showed a long-lost smile.

As a result, the princes had to petition automatically, so that the emperor could happily assign the places of responsibility to the princes.

In this way, the princes received the assigned tasks, and in order not to make their faces too ugly, they must do their best to help the pox patients in their jurisdiction.

So, all the princes with black heads and dirt faces took office separately, pasted their family backgrounds, and began to show their magical powers.

All of a sudden, the pox was really suppressed, and local officials from all over the suburbs of Beijing came to report one after another, kneeling down to thank Tianwei for his mercy and the emperor's grace.

Then, the pox epidemic began to slow down, and the number of infections and deaths became scarcer.

"The pox disease has stopped spreading," Canghai handed me a secret report, "and in a few days, I will be able to get through this pox scourge." ”

"There are enough dead people!" I raised my eyebrows, looking at the long numbers on the secret report, "I think, the second prince Xuanyuanran, it won't be in vain to make such a big mess, there should be movement at this time!?"

"You are like a god. Canghai laughed lightly, held the white jade teapot, the slender fingers with distinct knuckles were so white that they were the same color as the body of the pot, and leisurely poured a white column of water into the jasper-colored cup, and handed it to me, "Today, Xuanyuan Ran told the emperor that the cause of the pox disease was found out, and it was the soldiers of the third prince Xuanyuan Lie who deliberately brought a pox patient from the frontier to cause this disaster. ”

"Then Long Yan was furious, and began to investigate thoroughly, finding out that the soldiers were guarding the suburban hospital to prevent the treatment of the initial pox, and the soldiers dug it out more, the fifth prince Xuanyuan Tao secretly gathered the third prince Xuanyuan Lie and the sixth prince Xuanyuan Xuanyuan, coveting the position of the crown prince, intending to use this pox rebellion to plot against him, right?" I shook my head and gushed endlessly, this game of chess, it turned out that I had already laid down a killing move, these two princes are amazing, "But, how to do it, so that the emperor is convinced that the pox is done by the third prince?" Also, if you covet the position of the crown prince and intend to use this pox rebellion to plot misdeeds, you have to have real evidence, right?"
