Chapter Twenty-Five: A Temporary Life
"This ......" Chai Lie looked at the prince's gloomy face as if it was a continuous autumn rain outside, and his face turned pale, "Chai Lie is too reckless in his stupid work, he spoils the prince's big things, and he underestimates a beggar!" ”
"Chai Lie, Chai Lie, there has been less killing in the palace in recent years, are you used to drinking blood, and your head is not bright when you stop this time? I was so careless that I only sent one person! The prince let out a long sigh, looking at Chai Lie's appearance, his face was completely disappointed.
"Although His Royal Highness is the crown prince, when has this prince dispute stopped for so many years! King Yi and I have been fighting for so many years, and among the six departments that are related to the lifeblood of the imperial court, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry are firmly grasped by him. Although there are the other four in hand, but only the strength of the military is missing, this time it was supposed to use the hydrangea to recruit relatives to let Nangong Marquis and Chongyi General's Mansion get on the line, so that the military department has our strength, but this hydrangea is partial to Nangong Marquis into a beggar son-in-law, and His Royal Highness has also lost a chess piece in his hand! ”
Chai Lieting's face gradually faded from blood, and cold sweat spread a fine light on his forehead, and after knowing the power of it, he could only lean down and bow to the ground and beg: "Please spare your life!" ”
"Spare your life? The prince has lost a sharp sword in his hand, are you enough for a head or is it enough for your family's head? ”
Zhuo Yinfeng's family entered a beggar son-in-law, needless to say, it must have become a joke for others, he entered the palace early in the morning to avoid everyone, seeing that Chai Lie was reprimanded by the prince and scolded angrily, but he felt that his words seemed to be wrong, so he immediately stopped and said: "No, you are a killer who doesn't even have a family, and your head is just your head." ”
"Nangong Hou, don't be too excited! This prince knows that you are angry in your heart, but things may not be bad, you imagined it! The prince reached out and took an orange from the warped table in front of him, and slowly thinned it, his gaze crossed the two and fell on the group of dumbfounded people behind.
Just a look, all the attendants seemed to be induced, and they all saluted and withdrew, and closed the door with each other.
"What do you mean?" Chai Lie reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead and asked cautiously.
"I mean, since someone has already paid the price for this matter, then this matter will end here, and no one is allowed to mention it in the future!" The prince's gaze fell on Shao Sinan, who had been silent, and saw that her face was pale, although she had carefully covered the wounds on her body, but a dazzling scar under the cuffs was still half exposed.
The prince's gaze was faint, like a white mist that could not shed a trace of color outside, "For so many years, you are all the humerus arms of this prince, and there is still a long way to go for your assistance in the future, don't keep being so noisy!" ”
"But Your Highness, does the old minister really want to recognize the beggar's son-in-law?" Zhuo Yinfeng had a sad face, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes were clearly visible, and after he finished speaking, he sighed heavily and couldn't help glaring at Chai Lie beside him fiercely.
There was a faint bitter smell in the air, and the prince gave a petal of orange in his mouth and chewed it slowly: "Your Highness said that as long as you sit down calmly, then there is a little room for maneuver in this matter." Now that his father is old, King Yi has lost his former advantages, and most of the affairs in the court are taken care of by the prince, is it not easy for a beggar to be dismissed! ”
The prince's eyes were still faint, and the words he said were also tasteless, but the weight of it was self-evident in the hearts of the two people.
The two of them looked at each other, both of them looked uncomfortable, pursed their lips and turned their heads slightly to the side.
"His Royal Highness's purpose in wanting Nangong Hou and General Chongyi's Mansion to line up is just to insert a hand in the army and continue to fight against King Yi. It is better if it can be successful, and there is no hurry if it cannot be successful. ”
The prince exhaled a long breath, as if to relieve the gloomy irritability caused by the continuous rain, reached out and threw the remaining half of the orange on the mahogany table, changed a comfortable posture and leaned on the table behind him and said slowly: "Since King Yi folded Su Boyi ten years ago, there are only two in his hands, although he has the military department in hand, he does not dare to make a mistake easily, and the Ministry of Industry is the object of strict investigation in the three provinces, and he can't afford to make big waves due to financial constraints. Even if there is no connection with Chongyi Mansion today, there is not much threat. ”
"But......" Zhuo Yinfeng wanted to say something so that the prince could think of a way for himself, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a reason, and the prince's mind couldn't guess and didn't dare to speak, so he looked at the prince with a sad and pitiful look.
"Don't be too anxious about your beggar son-in-law." The corners of the prince's lips pulled up a meaningful smile, "The face of the Nangong Marquis Mansion is naturally also important, and it can't just become someone else's joke, but now the eyes of the whole city are staring at the Nangong Marquis Mansion, and you can't make things too big, just take your time!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, does this matter need to be resolved by the Ice Imperial Gate?" Chai Lie looked flattering and flattering.
"No!" The prince waved his hand to interrupt Chai Lie's words, and his tone was calm and determined that he did not mean to waver, "This time, don't meddle in the rules and regulations!" If you intervene, you will either die or be injured, but it will make things even more bizarre, and the people on the streets and alleys are afraid of adding fuel and vinegar to the fire, and I don't know what else will be rumored! He turned his head and said to Zhuo Yinfeng: "This prince heard that the beggar poor boy was washed and cleaned up, and he still looks handsome, right?" ”
"It's just a broken skin, a broken household, my father was an official in the court, and I don't want to be a descendant!" Zhuo Yinfeng scolded like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and Chai Lie's eyes widened when he heard it.
"The news of espionage has always been the fastest in the Ice Imperial Gate, but I didn't expect you Nangong Hou to find out so quickly!" The prince couldn't help but smile heartily, peeled off the jade wrench in his hand, shook his head and said, "No matter what, now that he is your son-in-law of Nangong Hou, you can give birth to it!" Fortunately, he still has a good appearance, and the foundation is clean, so it won't be so bad! ”
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, aren't you also telling jokes about the lower officials!" Zhuo Yinfeng rolled up his sleeves, and his two eyebrows were almost twisted into a word.
"You have to observe first, if that kid is still a little self-motivated, as long as he is clean and clean, it won't take half a year for him to become an important minister in the court, entrust him with important tasks, and become one of the powerful, and he will not be laughed at at at that time. His Highness will definitely find another way to slowly insert him into the army. If you don't want to forge ahead, then you have to go a little longer, and use a little more time, there is always a way! But if it is found out later that his foundation is not clean......"
The prince snorted coldly but didn't say much, and the two of them also understood it very well in their hearts!
