Chapter 131: Collusion
"Well, maybe I'm overthinking. Prince, you ask the two brothers Pei Guangqing and Pei Guangyuan to pay more attention, and don't let the people sent by the emperor find out any news. By the way, don't forget that Ji Gang and Yunmo haven't found it yet, so they can't let them send any news back. ”
After thinking about it, Chen Chengxiang also felt that he might be thinking too much.
"Okay, I'll have someone summon the Pei brothers and ask them to pay more attention. Grandpa, you don't have to worry, there is a mother concubine in the palace watching, if the father really received the news, it is impossible for the mother concubine not to know. ”
Thinking of Chen Guifei's favored harem, whenever there is a little turmoil in the harem, there is nothing she doesn't know, Situ Junhao is not worried.
"Hehe, I have recently united several old ministers, ready to ask the emperor for a decree to make your mother the queen. If your mother becomes the queen, you will be even more justified as the crown prince. ”
Chen Guifei has controlled the harem for many years, and even the emperor has his people around him, and she knows the emperor's every move every day, which is also the result of many years of operation between Chen Chengxiang and Chen Guifei's father and daughter.
"Really? Grandpa, you don't know how long your grandson has been waiting to become the crown prince, and that throne is the same as the grandson's.
If he wasn't the eldest son of the queen, the position of this prince would not be his turn. ”
After hearing Prime Minister Chen Cheng say that he was going to join forces with the courtiers to ask for the title of Chen Guifei, Situ Junhao's eyes immediately lit up.
"You have been studying martial arts since elementary school, and all your training is compared to the emperor's time, don't forget, your maternal great-grandfather was the emperor's teacher back then.
Everything your grandfather and your mother did was to prepare you for the throne, and you must fight for it. Also, I have to continue to keep an eye on the movements of the prince's mansion recently, so as not to let Yunmo and Ji Gang contact the emperor but contact the prince. ”
Chen Chengxiang patted Situ Junhao's shoulder, and his eyes were full of expectation.
"Grandpa rest assured, my grandson will still study and practice martial arts every day, and my grandson will never slack off. As for Situ Junjiang's side, I don't know what Situ Junjiang was crazy about some time ago, and he cleaned up all the manpower in the mansion.
However, outside the prince's mansion, Sun Er's manpower has not been withdrawn, and he is still watching, and as soon as there is a disturbance, someone will send a message back. ”
Although the manpower placed in Situ Junjiang's mansion some time ago was abolished, Situ Junhao was not worried, because he also placed a lot of manpower outside the mansion.
"That's fine, you have to keep an eye on it."
After thinking for a while, Prime Minister Chen took out a letter from his sleeve.
"Hao'er, this is a letter from General Tuofeng of Dayu Kingdom, he said that there is a drought in Dayu Country this year, and we will transport some grain and salt to him."
"Humph! This Tuofeng is really a lion's mouth, why did I send him so much grain and salt for nothing! ”
After taking the letter and looking at it twice, Situ Junhao snorted coldly.
"Hao'er, don't forget that we are still in a cooperative relationship. For so many years, if it weren't for the cooperation with Da Yuguo, we wouldn't have been able to drag down the Xiao family so easily.
I heard that the letters we communicated with Dayu Guo before were all put away by Tuofeng, be careful that he threatens us with these. ”
It turned out that in the past ten years, whenever there was a war at the border, the emperor would send the Xiao family to lead the troops to fight. The Xiao family army fought bravely and well, and the Dayu Kingdom was defeated and retreated.
Later, Chen Chengxiang, Situ Junhao colluded with Da Yu Guo and used the spies in the army to leak the secrets of the army to Da Yu Guo, causing many casualties to the Xiao family, and the Xiao family army was almost wiped out.
Later, it was General Xiao Lao who found out that the situation was not right, and designed to find out the spies in the army, which turned the tide and won the final victory.
However, because of the war in those years, the Xiao family suffered heavy losses, and the old general Xiao was also injured, so he handed over the military power, and the few remaining men of the Xiao family were also transferred back from the border pass.
It's a pity that within a year, General Xiao died due to the loss of blood and blood in many years of battle, coupled with the recurrence of old injuries.
"He dares! When I become the emperor, I must exterminate the Great Yu Kingdom! ”
dropped the letter in his hand, Situ Junhao didn't expect Tuofeng to keep a hand.
"Hehe, the superior must be able to be happy and angry, you can't do this."
Seeing that Situ Junhao dropped the letter, Chen Chengxiang was not angry, but touched his beard and smiled.
"If he can threaten us with letters, can't we threaten him too? As the younger brother of the Great Khan of the Great Yu Kingdom, he was named the general of the soldiers and horses, but he has been secretly trying to kill his brother to seize the throne, and I also keep his letters. Now, we and him are just restraining each other and using each other. ”
"What does my grandfather mean by giving him food and salt? It's not too cheap for him. ”
Situ Junhao also understood that he still needed Tuofeng's support in many places, so he looked at Chen Chengxiang a little unwillingly.
"You don't need to give more, just give half of the amount he asks. I can tell them that our Tianqi Dynasty has also encountered a drought. This is not a lie, at the beginning of the spring ploughing, Yunzhou Mansion and the surrounding three prefectures were not also affected. ”
These things are nothing in Prime Minister Chen's opinion, and he stroked his beard and said at the moment.
"The relationship with Tuofeng is not suitable for stiffening now, we still need more places for him."
"What my grandfather said is reasonable, then so be it, I will let Pei Guangqing prepare the grain, grass and salt, and then transport the grain and salt through the border guarding camp."
In fact, Situ Junhao didn't pay attention to this bit of food and salt, but he was just a little unwilling to give it as soon as Tuofeng asked for it.
"Okay, then you can send someone to arrange it, remember, everything has to be done secretly. I went back first so that I wouldn't be found out too long. ”
After taking a sip of tea, Chen Chengxiang stood up and walked out of the study.
That night, in the study of the Prince's Mansion, Taiwei Yu, who came to teach on time, sat at the table, looked at the letter handed over by Situ Junjiang in his hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"So that's the case, it's great, the third prince is safe and sound. It is no wonder that after the court this morning, the emperor suddenly ordered the internal guards sent to Yunzhou Mansion to find the whereabouts of the three princes to be transferred back.
When I learned the news, I thought that the emperor had given up looking for it because he couldn't find the news for so long. It seems that the third prince also sent a secret letter to the emperor, so the emperor recalled the Ouchi guards. ”
"I think so too, teacher, knowing that the third brother is fine, the student's heart is finally let go. However, he said that he was now working with bandits, and I was a little worried. ”
Although he knew that Situ Junfeng was safe and sound, Situ Junjiang's heart fell to the ground, but the thought of him now being in a bandit's den still made Situ Junjiang a little worried.
