Chapter 544: The Eighth Prince Asks for His Life

At this moment in the capital, the six princes received the folds of hundreds of officials in the court, and everyone was undoubtedly not accusing the Hui family, but also showing that Hui Yuzhong carefully planned to rebel and intend to usurp the throne.

In the imperial study, the sixth prince looked at these twists and turns in front of him, and he still couldn't help frowning tightly, he never thought that things would deviate more and more from his plan, everyone thought that the Hui family intended to rebel, so that the six princes could not rest assured that they would hand over these things to Hui Yuzhong to do.

But the sixth prince never thought that even after he tried his best to target the Hui family in the past, Hui Yuzhong still went to the border to garrison, and he still had no complaints in the court, and now he did his best, but it became a non-stop talk in his mouth trying to rebel, I am afraid that no matter who knows about this situation, he will be a little chilled.

Xiao Wanyin gently kneaded the shoulders of the six princes, and said softly, "Your Majesty, according to you, what is the intention of this Hui family's general Hui Yuzhong at the moment?" ”

When mentioning this, Xiao Wanyin's eyes hid a flash of ruthlessness.

And the sixth prince didn't notice Xiao Wanyin's change in expression at all, he just clutched the fold in his hand tightly, and his face was full of anger, "According to me, this Hui Yuzhong is indeed a disloyal and unrighteous person, and now he is wishful thinking and wants to rebel." ”

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was overcast, and the courtiers and officials above the main hall had arrived.

They looked at each other, all talking about Hui Yuzhong's intention to rebel.

When the six princes walked out in a hurry, everyone knelt down in front of him, and bowed respectfully, "Weichen meets the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." ”

The six princes waved their hands casually, just signaling them to be flat.

When he thought of their performance, the faces of the six princes sank, and it became more and more difficult to look at.

But in order to maintain the appearance of Ming Jun, the sixth prince coughed lightly twice, raised his head and glanced at everyone present, "I don't know what you Aiqing thinks about General Hui's affairs?" ”

It is not so much that the six princes want to ask their opinions on this matter, but rather that the six princes are trying to find out who is on Hui Yuzhong's side. He also wants to wipe out all the cronies around Hui Yuzhong, so that the six princes can sit on this throne more and more comfortably.

Many people looked at each other, and no one dared to speak for Hui Yuzhong, but was silent.

Seeing this, the six princes wanted to give orders, but they suddenly heard the prime minister on the side speak, "Your Majesty, the achievements of General Hui and General Wu over the years are obvious to all, and the two of them have always done their best for the country, even if they have no merit, they also have hard work, and you shouldn't be so decisive that they just want to plot a rebellion." ”

Although the relationship between the prime minister and Hui Yuzhong is not very good, he can't control it at all and stands up and tells the truth.

Moreover, the prime minister's weight in the court is very heavy, and he knows that if the six princes really except for Hui Yuzhong, the person targeted next time will most likely change from Hui Yuzhong to his own.

Seeing the embarrassment of the sudden change in the atmosphere above the court, the eighth prince next to him hesitated for a moment, but still raised his steps and walked to the position in the center, he clenched his fists at the sixth prince, and proposed with low eyebrows, "Your Majesty, if you really can't rest assured that General Hui is down, the courtiers can also go to the border to supervise the army for you." ”

I'm afraid it's not that there is no one who doesn't know how cold this place is, and with the bumps and bumps along the way, maybe there will be dangers and accidents before they reach the border pass.

It is precisely because he knows these things very well, so when the sixth prince heard the idea put forward by the eighth prince, he agreed directly without the slightest hesitation, and the smile on his face became more and more unable to hide, "Since the eighth brother is willing to go, then this matter will be left to you to deal with." ”

Above the court, the six princes still put on a look of concern for the eight princes, in order to use this way to make other officials and courtiers believe that they are still a Ming monarch, even if they can meet the requests of the eight princes one by one.

The Eighth Prince had already seen through the Sixth Prince, and even now, he didn't have too much emotion, just respectfully responded.

When the Eighth Prince's request was approved by the Sixth Prince, he began to prepare the things needed to go to the border pass, he knew very well that the border pass was extremely short of grain and grass, and directly spent a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry from the Eighth Prince's mansion to sell it into grain and grass, wanting to use this way to bring enough food and grass to the soldiers at the border pass to continue to fight against the thieves.

Hui Yuzhong, who is far away at the border, has also received the flying pigeon from the capital.

Hui Shangxian looked at Hui Yuzhong, who was slightly happy, but he felt puzzled by this, "Father, you should have known, the six princes have always tried every means to target our family, and it is impossible to send someone to send food over, and the most important thing for us at the moment is how to solve this problem." ”

Hui Shangxian's words just fell, and he thought that he could make Hui Yuzhong start to think about solving the problem of grain and grass, but Hui Shangxian never thought that Hui Yuzhong was willing to believe that they would bring grain and grass here.

"Shangxian, this time they will definitely bring grain and grass."

In these words, it is not so much that Hui Yuzhong is telling Hui Shangxian, but that Hui Yuzhong is secretly comforting himself to continue to believe that the court has never given up on them.

Seeing Hui Yuzhong's perseverance as always, Hui Shangxian shook his head helplessly, and finally sighed and didn't say much.

Not only Hui Shangxian, but even Hui Shangyi and Xiao Li had no way to believe that the imperial court could come with food, after all, grain and grass would indeed cost a lot of silver taels, and it was still in the cold winter, and it was even more difficult to raise so much grain and grass.

During this period of time, in order to allow the people in the city to live a full life, Xiao Li led the people to plant bean sprouts.

The fact that small yellow soybeans can grow bean sprouts is something that this group of people have never thought of before, but after Xiao Li's skillful hands, in just a few days, countless soybeans have become bean sprouts.

This is not only something that Hui Yuzhong never thought of, even Hui Shangyi, who has always known Xiao Li very well, never knew that she could have such thoughts, and she could temporarily improve the lives of the soldiers in the barracks and the people in the city by planting beans and getting beans.

Although the current situation has been alleviated for the time being, Xiao Li knows better than anyone that if the current situation continues, I am afraid that it will not last long at all, and if it continues to be delayed, the daily food and grass in the barracks may not be enough at all.

"Shang Yi, the grain and grass left in our current barracks will not last a few days, if there is no grain and grass this time, I am afraid that we will be extremely likely to be defeated without a fight."

When he said this, Xiao Li's cheeks showed a sad face again.

Hui Shangyi could fully understand Xiao Li's worries, he didn't say anything, just gently stretched out his hand to rub Xiao Li's head, and comforted her softly, "Li Li, you don't have to worry about anything, as the so-called boat is naturally straight to the bridge, it is absolutely impossible for us to be forced to a dead end, besides, even if the sky falls and I carry it for you, you just need to take care of yourself and Yue'er." ”

Considering that Xiao Li has never had a good rest during this time, Hui Shangyi is inevitably worried about her situation.

"Li Li, you also take advantage of this time to rest without having anything to do, if there is really any trouble in the future, I'm afraid it will be too late to rest."

Xiao Li is commendable for not continuing to insist with him, or persisting stubbornly.

In the end, Xiao Li just nodded in front of Hui Shangyi, "Then Shangyi, I'll go back and rest first." ”

Seeing Xiao Li enter the camp to rest, Hui Shangyi gradually relaxed, but when he considered the urgent shortage of food in the barracks, he couldn't help but worry.

It's not that Hui Shangyi is unwilling to use his silver taels to buy grain and grass, but because the previous merchants had already sold all the grain to Hui Shangyi, and there is no extra grain and grass to sell to them now.

Seeing that everyone had fallen into an extremely embarrassing situation, Hui Shangyi still felt a headache because the matter of grain and grass had not been resolved, and even had trouble sleeping all day and night.

Just when there was an urgent need for food and grass, Shen Yi, who was patrolling near the barracks, hurried back to spread the news, "Young Master Hui, there is a relatively small number of troops ahead, if the subordinates see it well, those people are the guards under the Eighth Prince." ”

Previously, Shen Yi was instructed by Hui Shangyi to stay by the Eighth Prince's side to protect his safety, so that Shen Yi was very familiar with the guards around the Eighth Prince, and even from some distances, he could vaguely see the true identity of this group of people.

When he heard this, Hui Shangyi remembered that Hui Yuzhong had mentioned the people who would come to oversee the army in the capital.

Hui Shangyi never thought that the person who came to the border to oversee the army would be the Eighth Prince.

But considering that now, when the only person in the court who can be reused by the six princes is the eighth prince, Hui Shangyi seems to have completely figured out the reasons for these things.
