Looking at Xu Zeyang's back, the prince's face became more and more gloomy, and he only felt that the wind and rain were coming.

"This old thing!"

Xu Ze looks like an iron face all day long, and he has a great reputation among the people, but he is fooling those flat-headed people, who doesn't know who in the officialdom?

If this old man is really a righteous person who dares to take care of everything and dare to do anything, he will not be able to sit in the position of the current imperial doctor.

His father, the emperor, is not a person who pursues fame and criticizes himself.

Xu Ze is also a smart person.

"This time, I'm afraid it's really dangerous."

The prince's expression was solemn, and when he turned his head slightly, his eyes followed Lord Xu's back, and then turned his head back, frowning.

What Shen Meiren did, how could the prince not know?

He just didn't care.

The harem of the court has always had a harem that it is not allowed to interfere in politics, but in fact, few people in the royal family take this sentence seriously.

Since ancient times, the pillow wind has been a very powerful weapon, and in the prince's mind, his woman is always more trustworthy than outsiders.

He likes Shen Cairen, and what he likes the most is Shen Cairen's intelligence, she is the kind of strange woman who is really empathetic and makes him feel comfortable with every move.

Besides, as a crown prince, as his woman, he can't even do something if he wants to? Originally, because of Shen Hou, he couldn't give the woman he liked a high position, and indulge her to be happy, why not?

Da Chen belongs to their family, and his women, in addition to bowing their heads in front of him and being docile, should also be able to do whatever they want.

Xu Ze has been in the capital for so many years, and Shen Cairen didn't do those things for a day or two, why didn't he impeach before, but now he has to interfere?

"Humph!"

The prince was furious.

Could it be that even Xu Ze feels that his position as the crown prince has begun to change?

All kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind, and the prince turned back to the East Palace step by step, turned his head to look back, and unconsciously felt a sense of anxiety in his heart, and then suppressed it again.

Don't think about it, things are still under control, though...... He was too impatient.

He didn't expect that Zhu Congrui would be such a waste!

However, he has been the crown prince for too many years, but his father is in excellent health, but his health is not very good.

And in the past two years, several younger brothers have grown up a lot, especially the third child, the identity of the third child is really a thorn in his heart.

If you want to say that the most noble status among the brothers, others say that he is the crown prince, but the third is the father who married his wife.

That woman was the real mistress of the palace before her father ascended the throne, and she had always had a deep relationship with her father, although she didn't know what happened, causing her to break off her family and miss the queen's position, but her father obviously had deep feelings for his wife, so much so that it seemed that his mother was a little unjustifiable.

Now that the king is known for his uprightness, he is prosperous in Haizhou, and the fifth and seventh have voted for him early, and they are looking forward to him, and the three of them are always working against themselves, often bad for him.

The prince thought: If his younger brothers are all obedient, why is he in such a hurry? He recruited power and strengthened himself, just to protect himself.

He has been the crown prince for so long, if he can't get to that position in the end, what will happen to his future, who can not imagine?

In all dynasties, how miserable the prince who could not ascend the throne was, and the blood and tears in the history books were all lessons from the past.

The prince thought as his mind became more and more determined.

We have to fight!

Moreover, even if this move has reached the point where it is now, it is not necessarily wrong.

He has sat firmly on the throne of the crown prince for many years, and his understanding of his father is of course very profound, his father, as the emperor, is of course qualified, he is both civil and military, resourceful, and those old foxes in the court have been fighting wits and courage for decades, and most of the time they have the upper hand. As a son, he is full of admiration for his father.

But his father is not without his shortcomings, his ears are a little soft, his eyes are often fascinated by emotion, he wants to blame, and he wants everyone around him to be good, whether it is his women or his sons, he wants to protect under his wings.

But this kind of practice can easily make others have delusions!

The crown prince narrowed his eyes, he shouldn't be afraid that his father would know that he was fighting.

A member of the royal family, or a prince, how can he do it without fighting? He still wants his father to know that his younger brothers have grown up and are no longer children, they all have their own careful thoughts, and he, the well-cultivated prince, has been forced to sit still by his younger brothers.

With his father's character, what would he do once he found out about this?

The prince's face was cloudy, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He wants to gamble, his father may feel that his prince is not broad-minded enough, not calm enough, and needs to be tempered for a long time, but his old man will never abolish himself just because of this matter.

He is the crown prince who has been cultivated by his father for many years.

The father can be soft-hearted to his younger brothers, and he can think that he will leave the throne to himself, the crown prince, and he wants to compensate his younger brothers elsewhere, and he will definitely be soft on his own crown prince.

As long as you are in control.

"Measure!"

The prince calmed down, returned to the East Palace, and sat down in the study, before summoning all the staff to come over for a meeting.

The current situation is a bit bad, but the father obviously doesn't want to treat him as a prince, just look at the current jumping powerful ministers are all turned away, and the father is even more slow to deal with this matter, so he understands what the father means.

The crown prince looked calm and analyzed the current situation of the various forces one by one.

After analyzing for a long time, the prince's composure was as calm as a sea god needle, and soon everyone in the study returned to their usual calm.

"We are indeed too anxious, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, His Majesty Zhu Congrui appointed that as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is stable, His Royal Highness will not be blamed for this matter."

"The problem now is that in order to ensure that Zhu Congrui can go to Dingzhou as an overseer, the few things we did must not be exposed, and it will be very unfavorable to His Highness if they are really exposed."

The prince nodded slightly, and countless thoughts flickered through his mind.

At the beginning, in order for his little uncle to be able to reach into the army, he still did some things, a few things, and he did a little too much.

can compete with his uncle and the eldest son of Ning Guogong Qi Jin, General Qi Hongqi, he has been in the army for many years, has a high prestige in the army, and there are many old departments, but he is also a person who does not advance in oil and salt, and does not have too many weaknesses at all.

His only weakness was his sister, who had a bad life, had a shock as a child, and since then had a bad brain, and has been like a six-year-old girl.

Ning Guogong Qi Jin is a fool again, he only holds his own concubine, concubine, Qi Hong is afraid that his sister will be bullied, he really the heart of being a father and a mother, and puts the little girl on the tip of his heart and loves it.

His Majesty was willing to let Qi Hong go to Dingzhou, and the prince pondered for a long time, so that he bribed Ning Guogong's servant wife and deceived the little girl out of the house and sold her.

As soon as his sister is lost, where can Qi Hong still take care of the side, the whole city is under martial law, looking for his sister everywhere, and the matter of Dingzhou will be over.

Of course, this was only a stopgap measure, and the prince didn't really want the little girl to be hurt.

When Zhu Congrui fulfilled his wish, naturally someone rescued this girl, and he happened to sell Qi Hong a big favor.

The prince used to be very calm, and he was careful in doing things, after all, he was already a prince, and the most important thing to do was to stabilize the word, he was not bad at learning, and he also had political acumen, and he was quite prestigious in the court, except for being indifferent to a few younger brothers, and often suppressed, but he rarely made mistakes in the right thing.

Most of the ministers of the court and China had a good impression of the crown prince.

He controls the little prince below, which is not a mistake in the eyes of the courtiers, but a smart place.

But now that the emperor is getting older, he is getting better and better to the little princes under him, giving them power, giving them power, and letting them enter the court one by one to run errands, even the king who has been driven to Haizhou, in the past two years, His Majesty has also made excuses every year to hope that the king can return to Beijing, but the king loves to ignore it.

But the more he likes to ignore him, the more special the emperor is to him.

With all this, how could the prince not be frightened?

In the palace, others are much more constrained than other princes, but he must not completely entrust his fate to his father.

"Xu Ze, this old slippery head!"

The prince was very angry when he talked about meeting Xu Ze, the imperial historian, in the palace today, but a few staff members couldn't help laughing, "He is righteous and strict at all times, and now he also follows the prince, and when he waits for the court meeting, it is estimated that the speech will be very unpleasant, but when the time comes, it will be about thunder and rain, and it is not a big deal." ”

"He talked to His Highness in the palace today about the excerpt, which seems to be above board on the surface, but it is not a reminder of His Highness in advance, so that His Highness can prepare early."

"Lord Xu is outside Beijing, and he is a well-known iron-faced imperial history, but he has a special name in the capital, and everyone secretly calls him to 'leave three points' in private. That is to say, no matter who he is dealing with, whether he is expensive or cheap, he always has to leave three points of face for others. ”

The prince was very angry, but at this time, he was reminded by the staff, and his mood was much more relaxed.

The staff sighed again: "But Your Highness, don't blame the humble position for speaking ugly, Shen Cairen's reputation is really not good inside and outside the palace, and recently, it is better to restrain it." ”

The prince chuckled and waved his hand.

The others knew that the prince didn't care much, so they didn't mention it much.

In the end, it is the matter of the prince's backyard, where do they care a lot about these subordinates?

The prince saw the worries of his staff, but he didn't say much, he didn't really think of a woman seriously, but if someone criticized, he would abandon the person next to him at will, which was definitely not a plus in the eyes of his father.

What's more, he is such a beauty, and he is not willing to give it up.

After the meeting, the prince ordered to go down, sweep the tail of the sweep, clean up the tidy, and on the day of the court meeting, it was to show weakness, and honestly ask for sin.

The crown prince has always been quite good in dealing with the emperor.

He sat in the study for a while, a little impetuous, and simply threw away the fold and went straight to the backyard: "Go to Chunfang Pavilion." ”

Chunfang Pavilion

Jin Mengdie stared at the note on the table, a touch of bright color appeared on the snow-white skin, she turned her head slightly, looked at the bronze mirror, the slightly charming eyes in the mirror, faintly revealed a little fierce, she raised her hand and pressed her eyebrows, closed her eyes gently, and then opened it so gentle that it seemed to be able to pinch out the water.

She knew better than anyone that as a woman, her most powerful weapon was not force, but her beauty and intelligence.

Who says women don't need wisdom?

Women need more smart minds.

"Can't do it? This Xu Ze, is he really a good person who doesn't buy oil and salt? ”

Jin Mengdie's voice was low and gentle, and the maid standing in front of her whispered: "Yes, they have found out the news from all sides, Xu Ze is very hostile to his wife, and he has a lot of evidence against us. ”

"Moreover, Xu Ze met with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, and what he said specifically cannot be heard by our people, but it is very likely to be related to talented people."

"Xiaoqing said that yesterday at the Yuelai Inn, Xu Ze met two people from the rivers and lakes, and those two people from the rivers and lakes told Xu Ze the story of Jiangnan Quanjian Villa and Yinxiufang, and he was furious when he heard that Xu Ze was ridiculous."

Jin Mengdie's hand trembled slightly, and the hot tea cup was gently pinched by her, even if her fingers were slightly burned, she never let go for a while.

Her heart was like a stormy wave, her back was cold, but she didn't show any color on her face.

Will the nightmares of the past find her again?

Jin Mengdie sneered, a group of lonely ghosts, would she be afraid? She will let those people know that losers are always losers and that she will win.

"Go and do it, a lot of people die every day in this capital, and if there is one more, it's nothing."

Capital

Joy Inn

The two Fan Xiangnan brothers sat in the private seat on the second floor, listening to the babbling singing on the stage while eating melon seeds.

From time to time, the two of them glanced at Yang Yuying and Lin Xingshu, who were sitting by the railing, playing against each other with a smile, and muttered in a low voice: "Brother, do you understand what our Mr. Lin wants to do?" ”

Fan Xiangnan: "I understand a little, and I don't understand it a little, but we are playing a game, the plot is just a plot, presumably Mr. Lin can get his wish." ”

The two brothers have been busy in the capital for the past half a month, anyway, they are doing things according to Mr. Lin's instructions, a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, all of which are inexplicable things.

Fan Xiangnan had just accosted an old man with patches on his clothes at the Yuelai Inn the day before yesterday, and he had a good conversation with others, and he wanted to tell him a story, which made the other party tearful and excited.

A few days ago, the two of them were thieves all the way, stealing pen and ink from various high-ranking officials, stealing papers, and copying their handwriting to write all kinds of letters.

They have been busy for more than ten days, but they don't even know what they are busy with.

Even if the progress of the task grows quickly, even if they take money and rewards, they feel as if something is missing.

Yang Yuying raised her eyes, just met Fan Xiangbei's eyes, and smiled lightly: "Go and die for Lord Xu, and when you die, I will give you the news network in the capital, you can do whatever you want." ”

Fan Xiangbei: "......"

Lin Xingshu blinked: "Actually, I know some senior members of the DPRK and China. ”

Yang Yuying shook her head: "Xu Ze is not only the iron-faced imperial history, but also the Qingtian lord in the minds of the people, why doesn't he make decisions for the people?" Why not tell a few words of truth? When I look at the turmoil between the DPRK and China, he started with him, which is very good. Moreover, Lord Xu is not really a coward who does not dare to do things. ”
