Chapter 80: The Bitter Meat Ploy (4)
Yu Wencheng lives in the study every day, except when he goes to the house of his concubine Mei Ji when he is looking for fun, and then he goes to his wife's yard for the night on the fifteenth day of every month. The ban is enough to make him languishing, irritable and irritable, and losing interest in new and old loves. In the study room where he was "assassinated" last night, he didn't dare to live in it again for the time being, and moved to Pimaozhai of his concubine Sun overnight.
The attendants of the Great Prince's Mansion respectfully led Yu Wenye to Pimao Zhai, and there was an endless stream of courtiers who came to visit today, after all, the emperor sent the imperial doctor overnight and lifted the grounding order to appease, and the limelight of the eldest son of the emperor will rise again. Originally, because Concubine Lin poisoned the prince and was hanged, and the eldest prince was grounded for bribes and bribes, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military officials avoided the great prince's mansion with a loss of virtue. Yu Wencheng's bitter trick opened, and the situation has changed a lot, at least he saw the dawn of getting out of the disadvantage.
"How is the injury of the eldest brother? The crown prince brought a few boxes of gold sore medicine given by his father, and if he remembered to wipe them in the morning and evening, he could recover in a week. Yu Wenye forcibly suppressed the coldness in his heart with superficial concern.
"Thank you, Prince." In just six words, Yu Wencheng gritted his teeth, giving people the illusion that he was killed by the prince.
At this time, in addition to Yu Wenye, there were also Weiyuan Marquis Yao Qian, Cai Quan, the secretary of the military department, and Luo Zhen, the secretary of the ministry. Yu Wencheng has always been above the top, and most of the posts handed by ordinary officials were intercepted by the porter, and it was impossible for him to see them.
Yu Wenye's eyes flashed with cunning, and he deliberately pointed out the flaws in his mouth: "Brother Emperor, this prince heard that the assassin went straight to the study last night and shot you, and suggested that you should really clean up the door, if it weren't for the spies in the mansion, how could the assassin have a clear goal and go straight to the study where you are?" ”
Next to him, Luo Zhen comprehended, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince's doubts coincide with the lower officials, and it is really strange to think about the assassination of the Great Prince's Mansion last night. ”
If it were in the past, Luo Zhen would never have come to the Great Prince's Mansion to visit, but after what happened last time, he felt that after taking that step, he was timid and afraid to get the scenery of real power and the holy favor that lived up to the emperor's expectations, anyway, he had offended the eldest prince to the point of no return. On that day, Yu Wenye forced him to impeach Yu Wencheng, in order to make Luo Zhen stand in line clearly, and after thinking about it several times, he no longer hesitated to support the prince, not only to protect the name of loyalty and patriotism and orthodoxy, but also to follow the dragon in the future.
"Hmph, it's really strange, maybe who wants to murder this king!" Yu Wencheng, who was half-lying on the bed, was pale, and his slightly blessed body was wrapped in a beige middle coat, and the wound was still slightly oozing blood. He gasped and glared at Luo Zhen, and then glanced at Yu Wenye with an unkind gaze.
"What is the eldest brother glaring at me?" Yu Wenye pretended to be puzzled and sighed, "Could it be that you believe the rumors outside, and think that this prince sent someone to assassinate you?" ”
Yu Wencheng was choked by his words, his eyebrows furrowed as if it was because the pain of the wound was unbearable, and he realized that his performance was indeed too intense. This time, in order to break the deadlock, he did not hesitate to set up a situation with himself, although he did not hurt the vital point and had no worries about his life, but a slight movement would involve the wound and bleed. He Yuwencheng has been delicate and expensive since he was a child, and he spares his life like gold, and he feels that it is too worthless not to pull Yuwenye into the water this time.
"His Royal Highness the eldest prince seems to be seriously injured, and there are chores to take care of in the old man's mansion, so he will not disturb His Highness's recuperation. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the lower officials are one step ahead. "The shrewd Cai Quan doesn't plan to stay any longer, one is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the other is the eldest son of the Emperor, and neither side should be offended.
Although it is in the mansion of the eldest prince, Yu Wenye has the most respectful status, and it is most appropriate for him to speak at this time: "Cai Shangshu is in charge of the military department, and Luo Shangshu's officials are not idle, you take advantage of the New Year's festival to go back to the house to accompany your wife and children, and the eldest brother has the prince to chat with him to relieve his boredom." ”
Hearing the words "chat to relieve boredom" came out, it simply made Cai Quan and the others feel cold behind their backs, where did Yu Wenye accompany Yu Wencheng to relieve boredom, it was obvious that he was here to add to the blockage.
Wei Yuanhou was not willing to be a fool, and when he saw this, he hurriedly got up and said: "The old man will not leave this to bother His Royal Highness the eldest prince to recuperate from his injuries, and he will leave first." ”
Cai Quan and Wei Yuanhou had in-laws, so they naturally smiled at this time: "Master Yao, a few days ago, we said that we would go to your house for a few drinks, and Cai Mou has something to ask." ”
Yao Qian laughed a few times: "Cai Shangshu is serious, it turns out that Benhou has something to ask for." While speaking, the two left side by side, and Luo Zhen hurriedly slipped away.
Yuwen Cheng's eyes bulged out with anger, which was obviously not in his eyes. He originally hoped that his bitter trick would make a storm in the city, and Hou Ye Shangshu would come as a guest, and he would go back and spread some rumors that the prince was the culprit. Where are these old guys who have been sleek monkey spirits for decades willing to easily fall for him and offend the prince of the East Palace for him Yuwencheng? In addition, even Luo Zhen saw the strange incident of last night's assassination, not to mention the treacherous and cunning Cai Quan and the eight-faced and exquisite Weiyuan Hou Yao Qian?
Seeing the three of them leaving, Yu Wenye was too lazy to bother making any more plays, so he restrained his smile and said word by word at a very slow pace: "You have worked so hard in this play!" An arrow in the shoulder is nothing, and if it is really me who sends someone to assassinate you, I must let you see blood and seal your throat. ”
The last four words sealed the throat with blood, full of strong killing intent.
Yuwen Chengdeng's face turned blue with anger, and he gritted his silver teeth and squeezed out five words: "Yuwen Ye, you dare!" ”
No matter how evil Yu Wencheng is, he is Yu Wenye's sibling, and this will never change. If Yu Wenye dares to kill his brother and completely disregard blood and family affection, he is destined to be impossible to leave a name in history in this life. People with lofty ideals, even the government and the opposition, who is willing to follow and support a cruel and vicious emperor? What's more, he is already a prince, and he is only one step away from the position above the ten thousand people, and he will not give up his reputation and take risks to kill his brother.
Yu Wenye originally stood with his back on his back, but suddenly turned his head and asked with a sneer: "You dare to poison me, why don't I dare to kill you?" ”
Hearing this, Yu Wencheng tried his best to control his anger, his angry eyes were eager to turn into a sword and slash the person in front of him with a thousand knives, and there was a tearing pain from the wound on his shoulder, as if he wanted to destroy the unwillingness in the depths of his soul. The scene before Concubine Lin was executed gradually jumped in front of him, and finally he stared at him in pain and let out a terrifying roar like a beast: "You calculated that my mother was hanged, and you are standing here safe and sound at this time!" Yu Wenye, the hatred of killing his mother is not shared! ”
"Even if your mother doesn't know that you poisoned me, she must know that you killed Xinlian and married Bai Muguan. Bai Muguan has no grievances or hatred with you in his life, and Xinlian, she is your own sister, how can she offend you? It's just because you're powerful, selfish, and ruthless! Yu Wenye's eyes were full of cold light, arrogant and awe-inspiring.
The python-shaped totem of the brocade robe on his body almost hooked Yuwencheng's soul, and Yuwencheng's heart was like being bitten by thousands of ants, so unbearable and irresistible, only jealousy remained. Sooner or later, he Yu Wencheng will also wear the python robe of the prince of the Tianxi Dynasty, wearing a python-shaped purple and gold crown, and all the clothes are decorated with four-clawed golden pythons.
Slowly retracting his greedy and unwilling gaze, Yuwen Cheng smiled coldly, and his tone was extremely arrogant: "A generation of war god Bai Zhanyi has 200,000 heavy soldiers in his hands, and his daughter's life is destined to have only two choices, either marry me or die!" Obviously, she won't marry this king easily, and this king doesn't have the patience to play with her, so her fastest and best ending is death. I want her to die openly, and she deserves to die a sin! He knew that Yu Wenye admired Bai Muguan, and now if he could stimulate Yu Wenye, Yu Wencheng would like to repeat it back and forth a few times.
People have reverse scales, and Yu Wenye is no exception. He clenched his ten fingers into fists and hung them down at his side, and angrily rebuked: "The most damned person in this world is you!" ”
"It is not known who killed the deer!" Yu Wencheng suddenly raised his head and laughed, his smile was evil and gloomy, "You have been sitting firmly in the position of the crown prince for so long, and when it comes to the order of the eldest and youngest, you should also give way." ”
He doesn't mind telling his ambition bluntly, this is Yu Wencheng, arrogant, conceited, and fearless.
"Then Prince Ben will wait and see." With that, Yu Wenye turned around and walked towards the door, disdainful to look at the person on the bed again.
Just about to step out of the door, he was greeted by Yuwencheng's concubine Sun. I saw that she was wearing a light ochre silk silk skirt with a wide bamboo leaf skirt, a azure mandarin duck jade belt around her waist, her sideburns were like clouds, her face was like jade, and she was elegant and dignified.
Sun's face was gentle and generous, and he saluted: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Yu Wenye nodded lightly, and a trace of regret flashed in his heart. Sun is the daughter of the Ministry of Rites and the sister of Sun Zhan, known as virtuous and dignified. She and Yu Wencheng have been married for several years, at first they were affectionate and peaceful, but in the past two years, they have been neglected because she has not been able to give birth to a son-in-law. Even if she doesn't want to be in the same league as Yu Wencheng, she will inevitably be implicated when Yu Wencheng is deposed in the future. Yu Wenye admires the character and integrity of the Sun family, especially Sun Shangshu, who is upright, but unfortunately he will not let Yu Wencheng threaten his position as the prince because of pity for the Sun family.
When Yu Wenye walked outside the house, he vaguely heard Sun's voice inside: "Husband, Lord Jingzhao Yin Yan came to visit, and the porter didn't stop him." ”
Yu Wencheng shouted angrily: "Stop what, hurry up and tell Yan Yijing to come in." ”
"The concubine avoided first."
Not long after Sun left, Mu Yi soon led Yan Yijing to the bedroom where Yu Wencheng was.
"Your Royal Highness, the lower official did not show his face according to your instructions, and when Ling Fengchen discovered that one of the assassins had the East Palace token hidden on his chest, then with Ling Fengchen's temperament, he would immediately enter the palace to face the holy ......."
