Xiang Yeyan didn't think much about it for a while, let alone bother with him, but asked casually: "I came out too early today, do you have any arrangements for your prince today?" ”

Hearing about Bo Zhaoxu's "concern" from Xiang Yeqi, Nan Chen was very pleased.

It's just that today is not in a hurry, Nan Chen is embarrassed: "Your Majesty sent someone to summon the prince into the palace early in the morning, you came out early, and the prince should be a step later than you." ”

Nan Chen originally thought that after hearing this reply, Xiang Yeqi would be extremely disappointed.

But the corners of Xiang Yeqi's mouth were slightly raised, and his face was full of words, "There is a very bold idea at this time".

Sure enough, as soon as Xiang Yeqi got into the carriage, he asked the coachman: "Don't be in a hurry to go back to the palace first, go to the backyard of Shen Yuelou, and I'll go see Miss Shen Yi." ”

Shen Yi's business in recent days is more than a good word, and one of the reasons is that Xiang Yeqi has given her a lot of ideas and improved a lot.

So when Shen Yi saw his little God of Wealth at this time, he still teased her very happily: "Do you still know that I came to see my sister?" What's the matter, is this time here to inquire about things, or is it here to attract money to my sister? ”

"I'm here to thank Sister Shen Yi."

It was unconvincing for Xiang Yeqi to come empty-handed, but Shen Yi likes Xiang Yeqi very much now, and she doesn't care about those reasons as soon as she comes.

"Flim tongue, thank you?"

Shen Yi recklessly regarded Shen Yi as the most distinguished guest of Shen Yuelou, and when he saw people coming all the way, he took people's arms and went to sit in the private room where he drank tea and rested on weekdays without saying a word.

Xiang Yeqi was tired, and naturally he didn't refuse Shen Yi's kindness to him, and chuckled: "Of course, Sister Xie Shenyi handed me that letter at the beginning, but later she helped me a lot." ”

Shen Yijiao snorted, obviously very happy, and even took a bigger step.

Xiang Yeqi looked at what was worth remembering in this Shen Yue Tower with a pair of keen eyes, and at this casual glance, he happened to see Bo Chengkan, who he hadn't seen for many days.

I haven't seen her for many days, but she's really ......

I've almost forgotten that there is still this person.

There were also three officials in brocade clothes sitting next to Bo Chengkan, and the four of them were surrounded by girls who were Yingying Yanyan, and they poured wine for the four distinguished guests with a smile.

These three adults don't know each other to Yeqi, but they met by chance in the palace earlier, and they can still be recognized as officials in the court.

"It's just officialdom, and everyone pleases each other."

Shen Yi glanced at the scene behind the pearl curtain along with his gaze towards the night, and only smiled.

She had long been accustomed to seeing this, but when she saw it for the first time, she felt very novel, so she said a few more words to people: "It is not uncommon for the court to form a gang and want to gain a foothold, this second highness, but he is also a frequent visitor to my Shen Yuelou, and he can always be seen bringing different officials from the court and China to eat and drink and have fun." ”

It's like Bo Chengkan's approach, using some drunken fans to seek followers who also like these extravagant things.

"Especially in the past few days, this second highness has become more and more diligent. I've heard people say that it seems that because those sour people in the court are urging the Holy Prince, he can't sit still at this time! Shen Yi said again.

Bo Chengkan couldn't hold back this matter, and Xiang Yeyan was not very surprised.

She sat idle in Shen Yuelou for a while, and listened to some interesting things, so she found a reason to say goodbye to Shen Yi and returned to the Four Kings' Mansion.

When Xiang Yeqi returned to the Four Princes' Mansion, it happened that Bo Zhaoxu also rushed back from the court, and the two got out of the carriage almost at the same time.

"Seeing you smiling so happily, the king knows that everything is going well."

The smile that even Xiang Yeqi himself didn't notice was easily caught in Bo Zhaoxu's eyes.

"It's really going well, as the prince expected." Xiang Yeyan was indeed in a good mood, "I don't know why the prince entered the palace this time?" ”

Bo Zhaoxu's expression was still as incomprehensible as usual, but he said a lot less, which made Xiang Yeyan a little worried: "But is it because of Lichu's business? ”

"Three things."

Bo Zhaoxu did not stop outside the gate of the mansion with Xiang Yeqi, but relayed what he had seen and heard today to others as he walked: "The first thing is indeed Lichu. The eldest brother died early, and His Majesty was busy with government affairs, so the matter of establishing a prince has been put on hold. However, there has been a lot of chaos this year, and the ministers of the court are worried that His Majesty's time is short, although he did not mention it openly, but he also urged His Majesty to make a decision on the matter of establishing the prince as soon as possible. ”

The early death of the prince of Huaguo has been heard of by Xiang Yeqi.

Perhaps it was Bo Chengkan's mother who was very skilled, and none of the imperial heirs born before Bo Chengkan lived to reach the crown, and some were stillborn, as if they were cursed.

But since the birth of Bo Chengkan, this so-called "curse" has ended by itself.

It is not difficult to guess in his mother's mind that the prince died early, so the eldest son should be appointed as the prince, but the old emperor was really busy with court politics at that time, and did not take this matter to heart.

Even so, Bo Chengkan's mother was still confident that the crown prince was definitely in Bo Chengkan's pocket, but when Bo Zhaoxu was not yet crowned, he showed amazing martial arts talent and talent at that age.

At that time, Bo Zhaoxu became a dark horse on the road to Bo Chengkan's succession to unification.

Bo Chengkan and his mother lived in fear day and night, for fear that the old emperor would suddenly find out that Bo Zhaoxu was a rare immortal material, and decided to pass on the throne to Bo Zhaoxu.

However, the old emperor still did not "disappoint" their mother and son.

The old emperor attached great importance to the throne, and the matter of the opposing prince was put on hold, not because of any lame excuse such as being busy with court affairs, but because he was reluctant to give up the throne to others, even if it was his own heirs, these were born from greed for imperial power.

Especially when Bo Zhaoxu was young, he was able to lead the army to fight, and won a lot of military exploits, even to the point that there was no seal.

The old emperor was afraid that Bo Zhaoxu would rebel, so he defended him like an enemy, and had all kinds of scruples.

It's no wonder that Bo Zhaoxu is not close to him.

Xiang Yeqi told Bo Zhaoxu about what she had seen and heard in Shen Yuelou today, and this person's reaction was similar to what she expected-calm.

After all, this is what Bo Chengkan can do.

"What about the second thing?"

"Your Majesty suspended the king's official position earlier, and ordered the king to stay at home, and the second thing to summon the king into the palace today is to inform the king to return to the court to do things, which can be regarded as blocking the mouths of those ministers in the court."

For some reason, Xiang Yeyan always felt that there was a slight self-deprecation in Bo Zhaoxu's words.

is as proud as he is, and he will show such a lonely look.

"It's not a bad thing."

Xiang Yeqi patted Bo Zhaoxu's shoulder, if you ignore her efforts to stand on tiptoe, the picture at this time is still very warm.

She didn't know what Bo Zhaoxu thought of the old emperor at this time, and she couldn't help Bo Zhaoxu accuse the old emperor of how mediocre, arrogant, and unreasonable.

"It was supposed to be a good thing."

Bo Zhaoxu looked tired, rubbed his forehead listlessly, and barely bothered to muster up a little energy: "The northern land has been invaded, and Your Majesty wants this king and General Xue to lead troops to resist the enemy. ”

This is the third thing Bo Zhaoxu said.

The old emperor's impression in Xiang Yeqi's heart had reached the extreme at this time, and she didn't need Bo Zhaoxu to say more, she understood the deep meaning of the old emperor splitting one thing into two.

Let Bo Zhaoxu return to the court, it can be regarded as a justifiable name for ordering Bo Zhaoxu to send troops to suppress the rebellion, if he wants Bo Zhaoxu to do things for him, the old emperor must agree to Bo Zhaoxu's return to the court. But once it was dismantled into two things, it was Bo Zhaoxu who went to quell the rebellion out of his own duty, and asked Bo Zhaoxu to thank the old emperor for letting him return to Beijing "Thanksgiving".

It's just outrageous.

Xiang Yeqi brewed many words of comfort to Bo Zhaoxu in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that his throat was dry and he couldn't say a word.

He choked up and said, "When will you leave?" ”

"About three days later."

Bo Zhaoxu's chin rested on the corner of Xiang Ye's shoulder, and Xiang Yeqi gradually felt Bo Zhaoxu's powerlessness at this time, and he couldn't help himself in the deep torrent.

She patted Bo Zhaoxu's shoulder again, just to make it clear that "I am still there." ”

Bo Zhaoxu hugged her tighter, closed his eyes and whispered, "Don't move." ”

She gradually became an existence that could support Bo Zhaoxu, just as she did when she fought for her life to save him that day.

Following.

Because of the existence of the Four Princes' Mansion, the days are not so bitter, but they are busy seeing off Bo Zhaoxu, and they are all busy, and they seem quiet, and they can only hear the footsteps coming and going from morning to night.

Bo Zhaoxu can be regarded as an understanding person, knowing that the old emperor has no intention of delegating power and establishing a prince at this time, so he is not in a hurry to curry favor with the courtiers and the old emperor.

Moreover, he did not need to flatter and curry favor at all, so that he could win the support of many ministers.

But Bo Chengkan's side was very busy all day long, and he just invited the three adults to drink flowers and wine in the morning, and he had to accompany other ministers to drink in the evening, which was really busy and ineffective.

People don't eat him.

At most, there were a few more flattering words, and there was no intention of supporting him as emperor at all.

In this way, Bo Chengkan seemed to have suffered a great setback, and he frowned all day long, until the doorman next to the table proposed: "Why don't Your Royal Highness do good deeds and gain the support of those people?" At that time, if you hint at the cruelty of the Four Highnesses, the hearts of the people will be yours. ”

Bo Chengkan is not a fool, and he has not used this method to discredit Bo Zhaoxu.

But apart from his own infamy, he didn't gain anything at all, and even almost lost the throne completely.

"Are you trying to fool this king? How could this king not think of this method, but if it is useful, why should this king be melancholy! ”

Bo Chengkan turned his face in an instant, and the guest was so frightened that he hurriedly explained the meaning of his words to Bo Chengkan: "Last time it was groundless, and others naturally didn't believe it, but if these words came from the mouth of Your Royal Highness, who won the hearts of the people, wouldn't it be different?" As the saying goes, only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world. ”
