Chapter 319: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"What do you say? Is she the daughter of the Zhao family? Mu Chaoyu looked at his subordinates: "What's the matter?" ”
The guard shook his head: "I didn't inquire about the specifics, and the others didn't know, but it must be true." ”
"Sent someone to keep an eye on it?"
"Yes, but the old man of the Zhao family goes out to talk about business every day, there is nothing abnormal, his son, that is, Miss Hu's brother, goes to supervise the work every day, and it is said that the house being built is the mansion of Wu Zhan."
"Really?" Mu Chaoyu raised his hand and touched his chin: "It seems that the relationship between them is not bad?" “
The guard nodded: "I heard that Zhao Gongzi and one of Miss Hu's maids have a very close relationship, I inquired, and it is said that despite his wife's opposition, he is about to enter the door, plus the blood relationship, it is indeed very close, but I haven't seen him go anywhere else, and it is estimated that it is not easy to find it." ”
"What did you say?" Mu Chaoyu sat up: "So, that Mrs. Zhao has a bad relationship with her sister?" ”
"The subordinates sent someone to buy a little girl from the Zhao family, she said so, the two seem to have clashed several times, this Zhao Gongzi doesn't like business, he doesn't want to take over the family business, and wants to give it to Miss Hu, but his wife doesn't agree and often makes noise."
Mu Chaoyu picked up a string of beads on the table and played with it, and thought for a while before saying, "I have to do it well when I explain it to you!" As long as it goes well, I believe that someone will be found soon! ”
The next morning, the holy decree arrived at the Three Princes' Mansion, naturally it was about him and Mu Lingai's family affairs, Yuan Ling didn't know anything in advance, he gritted his teeth and took the holy decree, his heart was full of anger, wow! Give him the first cut and then the prelude! This woman is so daring!
"Lord Wang." Li Si looked at Yuan Ling's face and felt a little wrong: "Don't be impulsive, this is a holy decree, it cannot be changed, it's not good to anger the emperor." ”
Yuan Ling shook it tightly: "That's it, it's just a woman!" The palace can afford it! Since she has to marry in because she can't help herself, don't regret it when the time comes! ”
Li Si took the holy decree and put it away: "Lord, with all due respect, although you don't like that princess, but her identity is there after all, if... Through her, she can get the secret help of the emperor of Southern Xinjiang, and if she wants to bring down the crown prince, wouldn't the chances of winning be greater? ”
Yuan Ling glanced at him: "This king doesn't need an outsider's help, in order to cooperate with him for a while, it is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house!" ”
"But, after all, you have to win first before you can talk about anything else!"
"Needless to say." Yuan Ling narrowed his eyes: "This king said that if you don't need it, you don't need it." "Sit down in a chair, anyway... He didn't have a chance to go to Hu Man again, other women, who is not the same to marry? So be it! He shouldn't have focused on these children's affections.
Recently, the situation between the DPRK and China has become more and more tense, the crown prince is constantly expanding his power, and many neutrals have switched to other places.
"Lord Duan, Lord Duan asks to see you." The steward came in to report.
Yuan Ling asked Li Si to retreat: "Let him come in!" ”
The person who came was Wu Yuan, but in the eyes of others, he was now Duan Tiantian, and he made an elegant gesture: "The lower officials have seen the prince." ”
Yuan Ling raised his hand: "Sit down!" Why are you free to come to the door today? ”
Wu Yuan smiled: "Xia Guan also just heard about it, and I came to say goodbye, by the way, there is still something to tell the prince." ”
Yuan Ling took a sip of tea: "Daoxi doesn't have to be, what's the matter?" ”
"About... Lord Kimoki! ”
Sure enough, Yuan Ling immediately wrinkled his eyebrows: "What did he do again?" ”
"I heard that Ji Mo entered the palace today and advised the emperor not to negotiate peace with southern Xinjiang?"
"When? I haven't heard of it. "This Ji Mo's mind has always been elusive.
"It's this morning, that's ...... After the news came out that the Duke of Southern Xinjiang was going to marry the prince. ”
Yuan Ling suddenly said: "The prince is really anxious!" Is this afraid that this king and the emperor of southern Xinjiang will not join forces? ”
"After all, the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang can be regarded as a great help." Wu Yuanyi raised his eyebrows: "Now that the princelings are growing stronger and stronger, there are many people in the court who speak to him. ”
Yuan Ling narrowed his eyes: "You came to find this king, it should be more than just a letter, right?" With Lord Duan's cleverness, I'm afraid there is a good plan? ”
Wu Yuan took a sip of water before saying, "Xiaguan does have a way, but... It's adventurous, wants to do it, and also requires a certain amount of guts. ”
Yuan Ling sneered: "This king has nothing else, but he doesn't lack courage, let's hear it." ”
Wu Yuan paused, his fingers were dipped in water, and he wrote a few words on the table, Yuan Ling got up and walked over to take a look, and then stared at Wu Yuan in a blink of an eye, and his tone didn't know whether he was happy or angry: "This king seems to be underestimating Lord Duan, I really didn't expect Lord Duan to have such a plan and courage!" ”
Wu Yuan hurriedly got up: "The prince is serious, the lower official is the class who got the axe, if the prince thinks it is inappropriate, he will not say it to the current official." ”
Yuan Ling looked at his calm and waveless eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't seen Lord Duan so concerned before, I really don't make a move, it's amazing as soon as I make a move!" Why is this king a little uncomfortable! ”
Wu Yuan's face seemed to be a little complicated, and he sighed lightly for a while: "It seems that he still can't hide it from the prince, so the lower officials will not sell it, first, after this matter is done, it will undoubtedly give the princelings a blow, so that they can't speak clearly, and their status in front of the emperor will plummet, second, I heard that the princess of Nanjiang is not married to the prince, as long as the princess of Nanjiang is in the middle, and the prince comes forward to reconcile, the emperor will pay more attention to the prince, and third, ...... Xiaguan, there is also a reluctant request. ”
Yuan Ling looked at him with his hand: "These first two are indeed feasible, and they are indeed beneficial and harmless to this king, so tell me, what is your request?" ”
Wu Yuan gritted his teeth: "The prince should know that the lower officials are with... The county lord of Rongwan is quite close, now there is no princess to be married in Changling, and there are only three or four suitable county lords, and the county lord Rongwan is extremely outstanding, and the lower officials have no way to talk to the emperor, so they can only come to ask the prince to save the county lord Rong from being friendly. ”
Yuan Ling showed a smile at this time, and it seemed that the doubts and doubts just now had been put down: "Lord Duan is still an infatuated lover, and it turns out that he has carefully planned these to keep his beloved!" ”
Yuan Ling sat back in his seat and was silent for a while before waving his hand: "This king knows, and I want to thank Lord Duan for thinking so much about this king, this king already has an idea." ”
Wu Yuan clenched his fists: "Then the lower official will not bother and leave." ”
After being sent out by the housekeeper, Wu Yuan looked at the Three Kings' Mansion, exhaled deeply, and was a little sweaty behind him, so he didn't go back to the house directly, but went to the Qingyuan Teahouse, which was the place where the two of them met under the martial arts.
Wu Zhan seemed to have arrived a long time ago, he went directly to the upstairs private room, and poured himself a cup of tea: "It's done." ”
Wu Zhan raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?" ”
Wu Yuan nodded: "Looking at the appearance of the third prince, I should not object, otherwise I may be reprimanded directly." ”
Wu Zhan exhaled: "There is an opportunity to suppress the princelings, how can he let it go!" ”
Wu Yuan stretched out his thumb: "Brother, you are getting better and better, you can actually come up with such a method of killing two birds with one stone." ”
Wu Zhan pulled his lips: "It's not good for us to let the princelings grow, what's more, Mu Chaoyu is too unscrupulous, we have to find something for him, so that he has no time to take care of anything else!" ”
Wu Yuan nodded, and then shook his head: "Now I'm afraid I really think that I like Rong Wan, if she knows...... I couldn't tell myself. ”
Wu Zhan patted him on the shoulder: "What?" Are you still wronged? Isn't it nice to be a county lord? ”
"But I don't have a relationship with her." Takehara had a headache.
"Even if it's not, it doesn't prevent you from doing something for her, is it possible that you don't love her, as a friend and confidant, do you want her to marry so far away and live in an unfamiliar place?"
"That's why I decided to tell the third prince, which can be regarded as a reward for her for helping me all the time." Wu Yuan poured saliva: "Big brother, I really don't want to delay others." ”
Wu Zhan retracted the corners of his mouth: "You don't like the closest woman who walks with you, Wu Yuan, tell the truth to your eldest brother...... Are you still interested in vines? ”
"No, no, no!" Wu Yuan hurriedly shook his head: "Big brother, I assure you, I definitely haven't thought anything wrong about my sister-in-law again!" It's that no woman gives me that feeling anymore, but I'm a human, not a beast, I love you more than anything else, I can't take away your love, and I don't want to turn against my big brother! ”
"Big brother naturally won't turn against you, and I believe that you won't mess around, big brother just wants to persuade you to let go as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for you to find a woman you like no matter when!" Wu Zhan is also bitter: "No matter how good a woman is in front of you, you can't look at it absent-mindedly, and you are not willing to try to accept it, this is not a thing." ”
Wu Yuan looked up blankly: "I didn't!" ”
"You have." Wu Zhan patted him: "Think about it yourself, don't you say that you don't have that feeling for Lord Rongwan, have you tried it?" Have you ever thought about leaving everything behind and trying to like her? I'm afraid you haven't even thought about liking her, completely closing the relationship between men and women, how do you know that you won't like her? ”
"Big brother?" Wu Yuan was a little confused.
"It's not that the eldest brother is verbose, Manman often asks about the two of you, you are also the eldest and the oldest, and now you have your own house, and you have a high official rank, it's time to think about your own affairs, avenging your mother, it's not overnight, we who are alive still have to live well."
Wu Yuan paused for a long time before he said, "I know, I worried you and your sister-in-law." ”
Wu Zhan looked at the sky: "It's almost noon, I also made an appointment with a few officials in the restaurant, I'll go down first, and you will leave every quarter of an hour." ”
"Didn't the eldest brother say that someone has been following you these days?"
Wu Zhan chuckled: "The clown who jumped the beam sent by Mu Chaoyu, I came out of the backyard of the vines directly in the morning, I'm afraid they are still staring at the door of the restaurant!" ”
