Qingdi smiled and said, "Then what do you mean is to let him give up the throne to Zhang Xiuhe?" ”

The second prince sneered: "Zhang Xiuhe? What is he, even if he braves the world's disapproval to let the queen mother ascend the throne and let the previous crown princess ascend the throne, it will not be his turn Zhang Xiuhe. ”

Qingdi smiled noncommittally and said, "But now Your Majesty just doesn't want to be it, otherwise you should go and persuade him...... You brothers, you should have had a good talk a long time ago, and I, an outsider, shouldn't interfere too much. ”

The second prince didn't know what to say, maybe what Qingdi said was right, the two of them should really have a good chat. Seriously, there is nothing wrong with the third prince, and it is already considered benevolent, if he ascends the throne instead...... Will he also treat those traitors who are not loyal to him like the second prince?

He didn't come to the court, he was more angry, if you think about it carefully, what right does he have to be angry? His younger brother already took care of his feelings.

Qingdi saw that the second prince was in deep thought, so he didn't interfere with him too much, so he said goodbye to the second prince, and the second prince stood in place for a while before entering the palace. He desperately needed to talk to his brother.

Qing Di returned to his courtyard and saw that Chu Yaocen was concentrating on those herbs again, at this moment, all his energy was focused on those herbs, and he didn't even notice Qing Di's arrival. She stood in the doorway and watched for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

Chu Yaocen heard the laughter, and when he turned around and saw her back, he also smiled slightly.

Qingdi quipped: "Look, have our identities been transferred?" I deal with government affairs all day long, but you plant flowers and grass, do you think I look like a big official, and you are a lady who manages household affairs and has leisure and fun? ”

"Although I don't leave the house, but all the situation outside is under my control, do you think you can control a lady like me?" Chu Yaocen nodded her nose and asked with a smile, "Is there anything good that the emperor invited you over?" You're smiling so happily. ”

"The emperor has appointed me as an official, and from now on I can enter the court of Wu and further control the government of Wu." Qingdi had a smug smile on his face.

Chu Yaocen pinched her nose lightly and praised: "Awesome, I didn't expect it to be so fast, if you were given another period of time, wouldn't you want to control the entire Wu Kingdom?" ”

"To control the overall situation, you must first be in charge of the people who can lead the overall situation. But I don't know who I will be assisting, the third prince said in the court today that he was going to abdicate and give up the throne to the second prince. Qingdi sighed helplessly and said: "I went to the court today to take a look, and found that the court of Wu is still good, I listened to the conversation of those ministers after the dispersal of the court, and found that they are not as turbulent as we thought, to the point that everyone is forming a party for personal gain." Most of them still follow the laws of the Wu Kingdom and the will of the first emperor, and plan to assist the second prince. But I used the situation of the Li Dynasty to estimate the Wu Kingdom, and gave the third prince a lot of wrong decisions, and I hurt him. ”

Chu Yaocen held up his chin, thought carefully about Qingdi's words, and asked, "What do you mean, do you mean that even if the third prince does not abdicate, the court will definitely not be chaotic?" ”

Qingdi nodded: "Yes, many ministers are still very satisfied with him...... Maybe it's not that he's satisfied, but that he's satisfied. As far as they are concerned, as long as the monarch is not too dull, they can assist well. Those ministers who were clamoring to resign and go home just felt that after the third prince killed Zhou Xing, their interests might be threatened, so they wanted more protection, but they didn't really want to resign. ”

Chu Yaocen took two steps back and forth, suddenly laughed, and said, "The battle between the government and the government of a small country is really quite interesting. ”

Qingdi glanced at him and said angrily: "You are always afraid that the world will not be chaotic." For me, the best thing about Wu is that no matter how chaotic the court is, they have a rule that they will not harm innocent people. Unlike the Leese State, the slightest change is a protracted war...... It's been a long time since there has been news from Li Guo, and I don't know how the war between Yin Sheng and Yin Lihui went. ”

"Let's stop thinking about them for now, let's deal with things here first." Chu Yaocen lowered his head again and poured a little water on the herbs that had just been planted, "As soon as my plan began, it was difficult to stop, and now the direction of things is also going in the direction I want." ”

Qingdi tilted her head slightly, looking at Chu Yaocen's back, this man who is not tall and mighty, but he has such a huge mission, many times she doesn't know what he will do next, but he always has the ability to reassure him. Qingdi smiled slightly, she was really proud that this was her man, and she was glad that she could do something for him.

The conversation between the second prince and the third prince did not make any progress because the third prince had no intention of meeting him at all. The three days left for the third prince to think about had not yet arrived, and on the evening of the third day, suddenly the palace was boiling, and shouts were everywhere: "Oh no, Your Majesty is gone!" ”

The Queen Mother was so anxious that she went crazy, and hurriedly blocked the city gate and ordered someone to find the three princes.

The Queen Mother sat on the ground dejectedly, watching the golden sunlight pierce into the imperial city, without the slightest reaction.

The eunuch who usually serves the three princes couldn't help but be anxious, and stepped forward to persuade: "The Queen Mother, it will be the time of the early dynasty soon, and the ministers have also come to the court one after another according to the three-day period mentioned last time, do you want to give an order to let them wait for a few more days, and then let them come over after we find Your Majesty?" ”

The Queen Mother Mumu shook her head and said, "No need, since the third child doesn't want to be the emperor, then it's not appropriate, and it's useless to force him." You go and get the green flute. ”

The eunuch reacted for a while, scratched his head and asked, "Queen Mother, who is this Qingdi?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at him: "It's Chu Yaocen, she's Qingdi." ”

The eunuch responded, and hurriedly went to call Qingdi to come, and when the queen mother saw Qingdi, she pointed to the imperial case not far away and said: "Qingdi, you go to help the mourning family draft a decree and canonize the second child as the emperor, the third child ran away, and the entire Jianye has no trace of him." ”

Qingdi was stunned for a while, it turned out that the indecisive third prince, if he really didn't want to do anything, he still had such courage, but there was no way, hey......

Then, the second prince became the emperor naturally, and his first order after sitting on the throne was to let the third prince find out, and he must be sure to ensure his safety.

Qingdi couldn't figure it out, Jianye was so big, where could the third prince go, she couldn't figure it out after thinking for a while, so she wanted to ask Chu Yaocen what he meant, but after looking for a long time, she didn't see Chu Yaocen.

It wasn't until the evening that I heard that Chu Yaocen had come back from outside the palace, and the two finally met, Qingdi hurriedly asked, "Where have you been?" ”

Chu Yaocen didn't want to hide it from her, and said, "Zhang Xiuhe came back secretly, and I went to see him." ”

"Oh, that's ......" Qingdi nodded, and suddenly a guess came to his mind...... Qingdi asked, "The third prince has been going for several days, do you know where he went?" ”

Chu Yaocen smiled faintly and asked, "You care about him so much?" ”

Qingdi glanced at him, poked his stomach with his elbow, and said, "I'll tell you something serious, you can be honest...... Is the disappearance of the third prince related to you? ”

Chu Yaocen didn't deny it, hooked the corners of his mouth, and asked rhetorically, "How do you know?" ”

"Thirty percent of the reason is because of intuition, and seventy percent is your recent performance," Qingdi analyzed: "The night of the third prince's disappearance, I didn't see you for two hours, and then after you appeared, I didn't ask what was going on outside, and continued to fiddle with your herbs." Today I said that Zhang Xiuhe is here, I probably know what's going on, you want to promote the abdication of the three princes, so you and Zhang Xiuhe kidnapped the three princes, right? ”

Chu Yaocen still had a smile on her face, she nodded Qingdi's nose, and said: "It's terrible to marry a woman like you, I can't hide anything from your eyes, but I didn't kidnap the third prince, it was that day, the third prince deliberately avoided you and asked me out, after I went out, he asked me to help him get out of the palace, he really wanted to abdicate, he thought that he couldn't solve the affairs of the court." ”

Qingdi opened his hand, looked at Chu Yaocen angrily for a long time, and suddenly said, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" You've been worrying me for a long time. ”

When Chu Yaocen heard this, he said sourly: "Are you still worried about him?" ”

"Of course I'm not the kind of worry you understand...... Qingdi was helpless and said, "Forget it, I won't say anything." Where are the three princes now? ”

"Don't worry, I won't hurt him, I promised him before the first emperor died, and I would never hurt his children." Chu Yaocen grabbed Qingdi's shoulder and said with a smile: "I warn you, you are not allowed to open and close your mouth in the future, it is him, I will be angry." ”

Qingdi was speechless, this vinegar jar ......

"So when will he be back? The second prince and the queen mother are very concerned about him, if they find the place where you hide the third prince, they will definitely break you and Zhang Xiuhe into pieces. ”

"When the second prince sits on the throne, he should come back." Chu Yaocen said.

Qingdi thought about it, and could only nod.

On the second day, after Qingdi went to court, Chu Yaocen continued to fiddle with flowers and plants, and at this time, he came back from the killing, and stood behind him for a long time before he asked, "Second master, is the third prince in your hands?" ”

Chu Yaocen glanced back at him, then got up, picked up the silk scarf on the shelf, wiped his hands, and asked, "Why do you care about this?" ”

Xiaohu was worried...... That day, the second master asked me to pay attention to the actions in the palace, and then took away a person, I didn't react at the time who it was, now I think about it, it should be the third prince, right? Wan Kill asked.

"It's him, but he shouldn't be back yet."

Wan Kill nodded, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Did he go with you voluntarily?" ”

"He begged me to take him out of the palace, but now he is under house arrest by Zhang Xiuhe in his former mansion." After Chu Yaocen finished speaking, he added: "You can't tell Qingdi about these things, she will be worried." ”
