The four princes, the fifth princes, and Chu Lan sat in the Mingyue Tower.
This Mingyue Tower is Chu Lan's own property, although Chu Lan is now showing off his edge in the court, he is still very cautious when discussing secret matters.
After the three of them got together, they greeted each other and sat down.
The fourth prince asked with a smile, "Since the seventh brother offended his father and was locked up in the mansion to think about it, the eighth brother has been very valued by his father and has become a busy man, how can he have time to call his brother to drink together today?" ”
This sounds like no problem, but it is the connotation that Chu Lan stepped on Chu Yan and took the opportunity to take the position.
Chu Lan was not angry, he sighed with a smile, "Fourth brother, don't laugh at your younger brother, although my younger brother is busy spinning the top all day long, what's the use?" Isn't it as good as the two brothers who are both idle and enjoyable? The younger brother was affected because he shared his father's worries, but unfortunately, he couldn't make his father not worried, because his younger brother was incompetent. ”
"We want to share our father's worries, but my father won't give us a chance." The fifth prince said unceremoniously, "If the eighth brother feels that he is incompetent, why don't you give up his position and let the elder brother do the work for him?" ”
This is clearly said too brightly, and it is undisguised.
Chu Lan's face was a little unbearable, and his smile was put away, "Fifth brother, what do you mean by this?" If the fifth brother can get the younger brother's position, the fifth brother can take it casually. ”
The five princes choked.
At present, which prince can have such a face and trust as Chu Lan in front of the emperor? No, only Chu Lan is the only one.
The fourth prince immediately played a round, "Father likes the eighth brother, isn't this jealous of the brothers?" Okay, they're all their own brothers, why bother hurting the peace? The eighth brother thought of his brothers in his busy schedule today, and took time out to make an appointment with his brothers, but I don't know what to do? ”
Chu Lan said with a stiff face, "Originally, I wanted to negotiate a deal with the two elder brothers, but if the fourth brother and the fifth brother kept talking and mocking the younger brother, no matter how good the younger brother was, he couldn't bear it, so don't talk about this deal." ”
The fifth prince snorted, "What good deal can you have?" ”
Chu Lan also snorted, "Forget it." ”
With that, he made a gesture to leave.
The fourth prince grabbed him, "Alas, alas, eighth brother, stay and stay." You have a good deal, thinking about your brothers, it's brotherhood. Your fifth brother has been on fire recently, and he is impulsive when he talks to anyone, come on, sit down, let's talk about it. ”
Chu Lan didn't want to leave, but after being pulled by the fourth prince, he turned his head to look at the fifth prince, "It's not a good deal, do you want to listen to it?" ”
The fifth prince also felt that he was a little too much, and followed the words of the fourth prince and went down the steps, "Listen to it." ”
Chu Lan sat down again, "Two elder brothers, have you ever thought that the seventh brother will turn over one day?" ”
"He? Turn over?" The Fifth Prince snorted.
The fourth prince was more steady, and said after consideration, "Although the old king of Nanyang has entered Beijing and is in the capital, but An Huajin has returned to Nanyang, plus Gu Qingyan, who has the same heart as An Huajin, he has not seen anyone so far, but he also made it clear that he is facing the An family, and he is equivalent to the seventh brother, if he turns over, it is really hard to say." “
The Fifth Emperor immediately said, "Didn't Father send him to strangle that group of stinky Taoist priests in Wufeng Mountain without a single soldier?" How dangerous is Wufeng Mountain? He didn't go with a single soldier, didn't he look for death? Don't be angered by that group of stinky Taoist priests, and like the Ouchi guards sent out by your father, you fried it in the oil pot. ”
"He's a lot better than we thought." Chu Yan said, "For so many years, as the queen's concubine, he was taught by his father since he was a child, his grandfather's family is the identity of the An family, so that he has a strong backing, he has been around for so many years, but he has raised a lot of manpower forces, and his father has removed him from all positions and thought about it behind closed doors for so long. Now they must have brought them to Wufeng Mountain. ”
"So what? He didn't have a single soldier, no matter how powerful he was, the group of stinky Taoist priests in Wufeng Mountain were not vegetarians. According to a Jianghu aide in my house, Wufeng Mountain has sent a rescue letter to the outside world, and as soon as the rescue letter comes out, all the Jianghu sects that have received the favor of Wufeng Mountain will definitely come to the rescue, and maybe the entire Jianghu will be alarmed seven or eight times out of ten, but it is not a joke. If he had soldiers and horses in his hands, it would be fine, but his father didn't give him a single soldier. The Fifth Prince said.
The fourth prince took over and asked Chu Yan, "Don't give the seventh brother a single soldier, you gave this advice to your father?" On that day, I saw you hurriedly enter the palace after your father summoned Chu Chen, and after that, Chu Chen came back, there was nothing to do, nothing had to be done, and my father made a holy decree and sent his seventh brother to go. ”
"Isn't my brother just thinking about the old Nanyang King? With him, he was able to sweep the enemy camp single-handedly in the past, but today he can help Brother Qi sweep Wufeng Mountain without spending a single soldier. Chu Lan pretended to say, "After all, the strength of the capital is better if it can not be lost or not, the two elder brothers understand." ”
understand, they naturally understand that the strength of the capital is the strength of the Son of Heaven, and the sum of it is more than 300,000. And the Nanyang Army has a million soldiers and horses, although it is also Da Chu's, but this is on the surface, in fact, everyone knows that the Nanyang Army is listening to the king of Nanyang, no, now listening to An Huajin.
To say that An Huajin, this little girl is really powerful, after returning to Nanyang, with an order, Nanyang can not spread half a trace of news, it is impermeable, and no one can hear the specific situation.
No wonder the old King Nanyang came to live in Beijing with confidence, he has been here for so long, he is really stable, people don't show up, and he is comfortable in the Seven Princes' Mansion. However, they couldn't even find out the news of the Seven Princes' Mansion, and Chu Yan was also powerful, and even the emperor wanted to hear the news, but he couldn't do it.
After all, the emperor punished Chu Yan and dismissed him from all his positions at once, and the punishment was heavy for a long time, and he did not commit any unforgivable crimes, so he besieged the Seven Princes' Mansion with his life, such a siege, but fortunately, even the emperor did not know about the affairs in Chu Yan's Mansion.
It's true that the people in the mansion can't get out, and outsiders can't get in, even if there is a secret pile inside, it is impossible to deliver news to the house, unless the emperor goes to the Seven Emperors' Mansion in person, but the emperor doesn't want to see Chu Yan at a glance, and he can't punish him more severely for capital crimes or something, otherwise the courtiers will explode the pot, in this way, as long as he stays in the mansion safely, there is nothing, and people can't find it if they want to find trouble.
Chu Yan is the one who can stay in the mansion safely for eighty days without worry.
Not only Chu Lan has a deep understanding, but the four princes and the five princes have been competing with Chu Lan to encroach on Chu Yan's forces.
"Eighth brother, just say it! You came to us today, is it about the seventh brother? The fourth prince asked directly.
Chu Lan saw that the fourth prince asked directly, he simply didn't detour, and said directly, "Exactly, the brother came to find the two elder brothers, he wanted to join forces with the two elder brothers, and took advantage of the fact that his father did not give him a single soldier to attack Wufeng Mountain, and he and the group of stinky Taoist priests in Wufeng Mountain were both defeated, and ...... in one fell swoop."
Chu Lan made a gesture of killing his head, his eyes were ruthless, and he continued, "Let him be in Wufeng Mountain, there is no return." ”
The fourth prince and the fifth prince looked at Chu Yan, gasped, and all of them were startled and their eyes widened.
Chu Lan looked at the shocked eyes of the two, put away his ruthless color, and asked the two, "Don't you want to kill Chu Yan?" ”
At this time, he didn't even call Seventh Brother anymore.
He said in a deep voice, "Since the day of the palace banquet, my father wanted to kill An Huajin, but he never killed him, and now, there is no way to take An Huajin, Lord Wang suggested to his father that he should summon the old Nanyang King into Beijing to argue, but after the old Nanyang King entered Beijing, he has stayed in the Seven Princes' Mansion so far, and he has not entered the palace to meet his father, this attitude is obviously clear, protecting her granddaughter, in this way, do you think that if Chu Yan has a chance to turn over, he has the support of An Huajin, we can win him?" Once the opportunity is lost, what can I do to get him in the future? ”
There is a lot of truth in that.
Everyone in the world says that the old Nanyang King is loyal, but now it seems that it is not at all, and it is obvious that the old Nanyang King does not have much respect for his father now. Otherwise, he would not have been in front of the Seven Princes' Mansion after entering Beijing.
Such an old king of Nanyang, he made it clear that he supported his grandson Chu Yan.
The four princes and the five princes glanced at each other, compared to the big position, the supreme right, what is the brotherhood? What's more, they don't have much brotherhood with Chu Yan, they are just the same father, different mothers, there is no father and son in the heavenly family, God gave them the identity of the prince, wouldn't they waste the identity given by God if they didn't fight?
The fourth prince said in a deep voice, "Eighth brother, you have the support of your father and the emperor, what are you looking for us to join forces?" ”
Chu Lan didn't hide it, anyway, the two of them already knew his inside story, he said bluntly, "The brothers can't help him, I'm afraid of missing it, so I call the two brothers together, grasp it bigger, and kill him in one fell swoop." ”
"What happens after you kill him?" The fifth prince asked.
Chu Lan said, "Each according to his ability." ”
