In general, the influence of the Shen family in the court is not as good as that of the Su family, and the military power in their hands is not as much as that of the Rong Wangfu, and the real money that can be earned is not as strong as the Lin family. But in a comprehensive comparison, the Shen family is the only one who can be called both civil and military, and has both money and power, so he is deeply valued by the prince. However, judging from the two things that Shen Di was unfavorable for disaster relief due to the Shangyu flood and Shen Wanyi was being used, the Shen family's performance was too disappointing. It is conceivable that Lin Ruo's bland promise at the moment is a great temptation for the prince!
He has learned the way of the emperor since he was a child, of course, he knows that the family is dominant, how can it be easier to control the rule of the court?
It was a silent game and confrontation, a stalemate in the study. The prince holds his own identity and will not speak first; Lin Ruo was confident, but he remained silent.
Just when the prince was about to hold back and wanted to be the first to ask, Lin Ruo asked first:
"Second Emperor Brother doesn't believe in Minhui?"
Li Chang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he didn't speak first and lost the opportunity, but he didn't know that this advantage was what Lin Ruo wanted to give up quietly. He was still secretly happy, Lin Ruo, who was sitting opposite him, was still young and immature after all, and he couldn't hold his breath. lifted his expression before he said: "The Marquis of Jingping Mansion is the maiden home of the crown princess, and shares weal and woe with the palace; Brother Chong and Bengong have grown up beside their father and mother since childhood, and they have a deep brotherhood. As for the Lin family, Minhui, since you and Brother Chong have become husband and wife, this palace naturally believes that you are also on the side of this palace. However, the Shen family is the maiden family of Concubine Shen. They are all the right-hand men of this palace, why does Min Hui want to let this palace choose one of the two? ”
Lin Ruo smiled indifferently: "Second Emperor Brother's words are wrong. ”
"Oh? What's the difference? ”
"There are priorities, people have relatives, distances, and humility. First, Sister Qing is the crown princess, and Concubine Shen is the concubine; Second, the Shen Mansion has money and power, but it can't match the weight of Marquis Jingping's words in front of the emperor. The second emperor brother thinks that the Su and Shen families, who are against the water, will have a greater impact on you? ”
When the prince heard this, he immediately turned displeased: "What do you mean by this?" Threaten Hongu? ”
Lin Ruo smiled lightly and shook his head: "The second emperor brother misunderstood. It's just that Minhui often walks around the people, and she has seen more scenes in some scenes, so she is naturally worried about the second emperor brother. ”
"What's the situation?"
It is also commonplace to say: the father of the family, in the face of his spoiled child makes a mistake, he will always say that the child is still young and ignorant; The husband in the family finds that his favorite concubine is playing tricks, and he will always say that she is just a woman, and it doesn't hurt to indulge once. ”
The prince's eyes sank, he had grown up in the palace since he was a child, so he naturally understood the sound of Lin Ruo's words.
The authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, he can see through his father's side, there is the eldest son Ye Wang, who is favored by his father, and there is the pampered and arrogant Shuguifei. And since he was a child, he has heard such words many times. Lin Ruo's words can be said to be really rooted in his heart.
Lin Ruo took the prince's reaction into his eyes without leaking, but his face remained silent, and he continued to say calmly: "But as everyone knows, the root of the bane is buried like this, and with one connivance, there will be more growth of the bane." The family background behind the woman is both a help and a hidden danger. The second emperor brother is in the position of the crown prince, how many pairs of eyes are staring? And how many people wish you made a mistake? 'Woe to the wall' is not simply four words in the history books, how many ups and downs, honors and disgraces, is not all based on this? Su Hou Ye is an upright person, and the handle in his hand is naturally not as many as in Shen Shangshu's hand. It is conceivable that if Shen Shangshu bites His Highness back, His Highness will be more likely to anger Shengyan. At this time, Second Emperor Brother, it is really not a wise move for you to choose to tolerate and indulge the Shen family. ”
Li Chang was drenched in a cold sweat when he heard the words. If these things are placed on others, he, as a bystander, may not be able to see them so clearly, but he can also get a glimpse of them. But it happened to him, causing him to make the same mistake as all the authorities.
Facing this woman with a vicious gaze and a key word, the prince's gaze became a little unfathomable, looking up and down, as if he was re-examining Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo raised the corners of his mouth, looked back at the prince with a frank gaze, and said calmly: "When I was in the Gu Mansion in the past, I didn't know much about the methods of 'the most poisonous women's hearts'. ”
This sentence can be regarded as an explanation. Although the meaning sounded vague, it dispelled many of the prince's doubts. Lin Ruo is a young girl after all, with limited knowledge, if it weren't for the fact that she had experienced some things, she might not be able to see it so clearly. But no matter how clearly you can see it, what can you do? After all, she is a woman, with limited knowledge and limited thoughts, and this vague sentence exposes the purpose of her position to be stated.
"You want to deal with the Gu family?"
Thinking of Song Huan Chu, the envoy of Shu State, Prince Zhan, who asked to marry the daughter of Gu Shangshu's mansion, the prince broke through Lin Ruo's thoughts with one word.
Lin Ruo was slightly stunned, and then nodded and admitted: "The second emperor brother is really wise, and these careful thoughts of Minhui can't hide it from you." ”
Hearing the compliment, the prince was a little proud, and although he tried his best to keep quiet, his raised eyebrows could not hide his smugness at all. Lin Ruo couldn't help sneering in his heart, after being the prince for so many years, Li Chang has never learned to be as happy and angry as the queen's mother, but this guy's luck is good, King Ye, who is his opponent, happens to be half a pound and eight taels with him.
"Minhui," the crown prince changed his serious tone, like a brother's earnest instruction to his younger brother and younger sister, "I know that the king of Xishu Zhan proposed marriage to the Gu family, which makes you feel angry. However, this matter is related to the diplomatic relations between Donglu and Xishu, and I can't help it. Xishu intends to marry Qin and Jin with Donglu, even if he asks to marry which imperial sister, his father will not refuse, let alone the daughter of a scholar? Gu Manni's Prince Zhan and Princess Zhan are afraid that it will be difficult to have variables. You and the Gu family are personal enemies, but if it involves Shangxi Shu, it will become a state affair, and you must not act willfully. ”
Lin Ruo nodded, as if she acquiesced in the fact that she didn't want Gu Manni to marry Song Huan Chu, and it was also like listening to the prince's advice, and she would not let the prince come forward to stop the marriage between Donglu and Xishu because of her personal enmity with the Gu family. This made the prince feel that Lin Ruo's attitude was even more biased towards himself, thus confirming the Lin family's attitude on his side, and he became more and more pleased, and took advantage of the situation to increase a little bit of gratitude, and said: "Minhui, I know that you have suffered a lot of harsh criticism and grievances in the Gu family, even if he Gu Ting becomes the father-in-law of Prince Xishu Zhan, I will do my best to persuade my father not to reuse him." As soon as I have the chance, I will definitely clean him up and give you a breath. ”
Lin Ruo smiled bitterly twice: "Gu Shangshu is cautious and cunning, it is not easy to catch him, otherwise, the emperor will not keep him in the position of the official Shangshu for so many years, even if the power in his hands is hollowed out, he still retains the dignity of the Sanpin Shangshu, how can it be so easy to deal with?" ”
The prince hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled mysteriously: "That's not necessarily, when Gu Manni becomes the princess of Zhan, if you want to accuse him of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, it will be much easier." ”
"Collaboration with the enemy and traitor?" Lin Ruo was stunned for a moment, sighed, and said helplessly: "Second Emperor Brother, I'm afraid this is even more difficult." ”
"Why?"
"The second emperor brother may not know that Gu Ting has secretly colluded with King Ye."
The prince was stunned for a moment, blurted out and asked, "Is this true?" What evidence do you have? ”
"In front of the second emperor brother, why should I lie? The second emperor brother can remember that when the emperor's decree of marriage was handed down, I met an assassin, if it wasn't for Bo Yu to bring someone in time, I am afraid that the current Rong Wang Zheng Concubine would be someone else. ”
The prince frowned, after the incident, he asked his brother-in-law Su Muyu to understand the ins and outs of the whole thing, and guessed that this matter was the handiwork of King Ye.
"This matter was indeed done by King Ye, in order to ruin my innocence and humiliate the Lin family, he turned to his command and dealt with you, the second emperor brother. Therefore, in order to clear up the relationship, he did not use the people of Ye Wangfu, but spent a lot of money to invite people in the rivers and lakes to carry it out. But he forgot that Bo Yu is half a Jianghu person, and the Lin family can afford to spend ten times the commission, which makes people reveal the truth. ”
Looking at Lin Ruo's gritted teeth, the prince's face also became gloomy.
But Lin Ruo laughed instead: "Second Emperor Brother, you wouldn't have thought of it, originally this was Gu Manni's proposal, she wanted King Ye's people to put me to death." It's a pity that King Ye's mind was too heavy, but it allowed me to escape. ”
"Is that so?"
"Yes, Gu Manni has long been a person from King Ye, you say, if that Prince Zhan of Xishu knew this, what kind of reaction would he have?"
The corners of Lin Ruo's mouth were hooked, and it was a cold smile, which made people's backs chill.
"Then the marriage should not be ruined. With such good news, it is natural that this Prince Zhan should be let know at the most appropriate time, and when the time comes, King Ye, Concubine Shugui, and Gu Ting can all be caught in one go. The prince smiled proudly, his eyes looked at Lin Ruo fixedly, and his eyes flashed with a fine light, "Minhui, don't worry, don't worry, this palace will definitely get justice for you." ”
Lin Ruo slowly raised his eyelids, looked at the prince, and said after a long time: "Minhui knows, this matter will be entrusted to the second brother." ”
Hearing Lin Ruo's "second brother", the prince's eyes were even more proud: "This palace will definitely satisfy you." ”
"There is one more thing, I want to ask the second brother for help."
"Just ask, you're welcome."
"About, about the bend rhyme."
At Lin Ruojiong's blazing gaze, the prince couldn't help but be stunned: "You, you know?" ”
"Yes," Lin Ruo's words were a little cold, "I know that the prince has been gentle and merciful to me recently, because of you, second brother." However, clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as the old, and I know this truth more clearly. ”
The prince secretly sighed in his heart that the woman's jealousy was really terrible, and he pondered for a while, and said: "There is no news of the bend rhyme for so many years, I am afraid that it has been ......."
"This is just the second brother's speculation, in case ......"
Lin Ruo didn't continue, but the prince had already understood what she meant, lowered his eyes, and said solemnly: "In case she comes back, I will definitely hand her over to you." ”
"The second brother is a daughter, and Min Hui can be trusted. The hour is not early, Minhui is going to the imperial dining room to prepare a meal for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet for the imperial grandmother, so she will leave. ”
"Okay."
