The fourth prince and the fifth prince were invited into the palace, and the two met at the gate of the palace, looked at each other, and were stunned.
The fifth prince bowed his hand, "Fourth brother." โ
The fourth prince returned the salute, "Fifth brother." โ
The fifth prince glanced around, approached the fourth prince, and asked in a low voice, "The fourth brother is the same as me, and he was also summoned by his father?" โ
The fourth prince nodded, "Yes." โ
The fifth prince asked, "Fourth brother, do you know that my father summoned us together, so what's the matter?" I heard earlier that the eighth brother had entered the palace. โ
"Now that the eighth brother hasn't come out of the palace yet, just go in and take a look." The fourth prince thoughtfully, "Three days ago, my father urgently summoned the eighth brother, and later, the eighth brother seemed to send all the people in the palace to the capital, and now it has been three days, and it may be related to the eighth brother." โ
When the fifth prince heard this, he immediately pulled the sleeve of the fourth prince, stopped, and whispered, "Fourth brother, I also heard about the incident three days ago, and I also heard the report today, the eighth brother entered the palace to see his father, walked in a hurry, his face was pale, and he didn't look very good. โ
The fourth prince said cautiously, "If you see your father and queen, you will know." โ
"If I see my father and know again, I'm afraid it's too late." The fifth prince said hurriedly, "Fourth brother, think about it, I heard that the internal guards sent by my father to kill An Huajin were all broken, and then, the soldiers and horses of the Jinglu soldiers and horses battalion were stopped by the courtiers, and after that, my father summoned the eighth brother into the palace, will he secretly order the eighth brother to send someone to kill An Huajin, and the eighth brother's people have also broken in these three days?" โ
The fourth prince frowned, "Very likely." โ
The fifth prince slapped his thigh, "In this way, is the eighth brother going to pit you and my brother?" Your own hands are broken, and you want our hands to be folded in? So, I suggest to my father that we go into the palace and listen to the decree? โ
The fourth prince's face was also solemn, "It's not impossible, now that my father has summoned you and me, maybe that's what he said." โ
The five princes discussed, "Then what should I do?" Even the Ouchi guards have folded so many people, and the ones sent out by the eighth brother must be powerful, if they are all broken, then calling you and me into the palace now, will it be the conspiracy of the eighth brother? โ
The fourth prince's face was heavy, "But when my father summoned me, I can't help but go." โ
The fifth prince immediately said, "Fourth brother, we are not as good as the eighth brother, the eighth brother is the king since childhood, you and I have not been crowned king by our father, for so many years, we are not favored by our father, if we insist on it, there is no one available in our hands, you say, do you believe it or not?" โ
The fourth prince couldn't be sure for a while, "It's not good." โ
"I don't care, my father's inner guards and the eighth brother's people are all broken, our people take them out, where is it enough to see? Maybe it's also a snack for people. You can't send it out knowing that you are going to die. I said that there was no one, it was a big deal, and I also asked my father to lock me up like a seventh brother and think about it behind closed doors. โ
The fourth prince looked at him, "Fifth brother, do you want to think about it behind closed doors now?" โ
Chu Yan finally violated the emperor's taboo, was dismissed from his position, and locked up, didn't they take the opportunity to take away the power and power that he had cultivated over the years, but also followed the closed-door thinking about it? Then after Chu Yan is released, what else can they get?
The fifth prince smacked his lips, "Isn't this impossible?" What if our speculation is true? Is it really to send people out to be slaughtered? โ
The fourth prince thought about it, "Naturally not." โ
"That's it, fourth brother, our brothers are the closest, my brother told you a heart-wrenching word, it's not easy to raise a few people, especially the two of us, I'm not favored, and you're almost the same as me. For so many years, we haven't cultivated any foundation, we are different from the second brother and the third brother, different from the sixth brother who has the power of the rivers and lakes, and different from the seventh brother who has the identity of the descendant and the Nanyang Palace, and also different from the eighth brother who is liked by his father and the North Wangfu of Mobei Town, let's be careful. โ
"Exactly." The fourth prince couldn't make up his mind, but now he feels that what the fifth prince said is reasonable, "Okay, if my father summoned us to mention this matter, it will be according to what you said." โ
The fifth prince nodded, "Although my younger brother is not smart, he is not stupid, I have been staring at the eighth brother closely in the past two years, and my guess is not far from ten, and the fourth brother is right to listen to me." โ
The fourth prince nodded, "Let's go, don't let my father wait in a hurry." โ
Now the emperor is not the emperor of the past, his temper is getting bigger and bigger, and he is also irritable, and they don't want to come to him.
The two brothers discussed, entered the palace gate, and came to the emperor's bedroom.
The emperor's bedroom has been diffusing a smell of medicine for the past two days, and the emperor has been taking medicine since he fainted on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. After handing over the matter to Queen Jing three days ago, he was bent on peace, and now he has broken the peace.
As the old saying goes, there are three stinkers who are Zhuge Liang, and now I have to say that the two brothers are not stupid, so they really guessed and guessed.
Therefore, when the emperor met the two of them and proposed to let the two join forces to arrest An Huajin, the faces of the two of them changed together, and they knelt on the ground neatly and shook their heads.
The emperor was stunned, "What?" You are ......."
The fifth prince said with a sad face, "Father Emperor Mingjian, there is no one in the hands of the sons." โ
The fourth prince also said with a broken face, "Father, for so many years, the prince's mansion of the sons and daughters, the servants of the first mansion are still overstretched, where can they afford to raise a large number of secret guards?" โ
The emperor didn't believe it, "Nonsense! Don't fool me. โ
He didn't know what was wrong, how could these two sons be different from what Chu Lan said? Chu Lan can take out eight hundred people at once, and the two of them can't even come up with this number?
Seeing that the emperor didn't believe it, the fifth prince immediately said aggrievedly, "Father, think about it carefully, after so many years, which brother and younger brother can you compare with?" Erchen's maternal grandfather's house is the second room of the Liguo Mansion, and the Liguo Mansion does not have to go up for several generations, and the second room relies on the big house, where is the spare money to help the son? Erchen is a generous person who does not hide his selfishness, and when he goes out to drink wine and eat tea, he still needs his mother to make up for it. To say a big unfilial word, you don't spoil your mother and concubine, nor do you spoil your sons, and your sons have to honor you during the New Year's holidays? You didn't reward your sons much......"
Emperor: "......"
The fourth prince also said aggrievedly, "Erchen's mother is not favored, Erchen's maternal grandfather's family you know best, although his maternal grandfather Sun Yushi is from a noble family surnamed Sun, but he himself is too incorruptible, how incorruptible, you don't need to say Erchen, you should also know that it is only a little better than the four walls of the family, and Erchen is not favored by you, as the fifth brother said, Erchen has been stumbling for so many years, where is it like other brothers? is either favored by his father, or he is wealthy, and he has a powerful grandfather's family, these things are not accounted for by his sons. โ
Emperor: "......"
He wanted to refute, but when he thought about it, it seemed to be true.
He has too many sons, and he often gives some rewards, such as the second prince, the third prince, the eighth prince and the three brothers, and the unlikable, such as the eldest prince and Chu Yan, but these two people have a long and a long, and they can't ignore it, they have all been taught by their side, what should be given, not more, but not less, what he likes is not so disliked, so he naturally ignores it, such as the four princes and the five princes in the middle. Over the years, he really hasn't given anything.
When the two of them said this, it seemed that he, the father of the emperor, was harsh on them, although he didn't believe that they really had no one in their hands, but there must not be much. After all, it takes money, energy, and ability to raise people, how do you look at it, as the second room of the Liguo Mansion of the fifth prince's maternal ancestor, he doesn't have that ability, and Sun Yushi, Geng is upright, honest and rigid, and he is not a person who will plan for the four princes.
The emperor choked for a moment, looked at the fourth prince and the fifth prince kneeling on the ground, and couldn't say the words to give the death order.
And King Jing, as early as after paying attention, was afraid that the two of them would think too much, so they avoided going out, naturally they didn't know, the two had guessed it through, and this plan didn't work.
The emperor was silent for a long time, then waved his hand to the two, "Since you can't do it, you can go back!" โ
The four princes and the five princes were all happy in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it, so they got up respectfully and retired.
After the two left, the emperor asked people to call King Jing from the side hall, and said angrily that the two of them complained to him bitterly, and King Jing was also stunned.
King Jing didn't believe it, "Father, can't you?" The fourth and fifth brothers both have industries themselves. โ
"That's it, what can I point to them about?" The emperor said, "Think about it again, but is there any other way?" โ
King Jing was embarrassed at this moment, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Father, why don't you invite Wang Jialiulang into the palace and ask him?" He is the heir cultivated by the Wang family, and like Gu Qingyan, he is famous as a young man and has the same strength, if he makes a move, he will definitely be able to achieve what his father wants. โ
