The fourth prince felt that Zhang Mutou was his lucky star. The last time he was attacked, he was seriously injured and about to die, thanks to Zhang Mutou who saved him and saved him from the danger of dying, and waited for rescue; This time, Zhang Mutou inadvertently broke the matter of private soldiers in the mountain, allowing him to respond early. Thinking about it this way, this person is really a lucky star! Why don't you take him with you and add a little more luck to yourself?

Thinking so, the fourth prince spoke: "During this time, you will serve by His Royal Highness's side." ”

When Zhang Mutou heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face: "Xiaomin came to the capital to see and learn the pastries of the capital, and he will go home in the future, and Xiaomin's father and mother are also waiting for Xiaomin at home." ”

He did the work of serving people in his previous life, and he is not willing to do these things again in this life.

The fourth prince didn't expect Zhang Mutou to refuse, you must know that following him, there will be no shortage of money and wealth in the future, but this kid just wants to go home and be a small boss of a pastry shop, so there is no pursuit. However, such simple wishes are more sincere, and are much better than those who only see wealth and power in their eyes.

The fourth prince smiled: "Don't worry, Your Highness won't let you follow Your Highness all the time." When His Royal Highness's affairs are decided, His Royal Highness will give you a lowest-class title and let you return to your hometown in a beautiful and beautiful manner, how about it? ”

He wants Zhang Mutou, the lucky star, to increase his good luck before he keeps people by his side, if people are reluctant, if the good luck turns into bad luck, it will be miserable. Therefore, if you want people to be willing to stay by your side, you still have to focus on wooing. Well, when he wins the big position, Zhang Mutou's luck will not be too important, and he can be let go.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Mutou hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, happy in his heart. His biggest purpose in entering the capital was that he didn't expect it to be achieved so easily.

"Get up." The Four Princes said.

Zhang Mutou got up and saw that the tea bowl of the four princes was empty, so he immediately picked up the tea bowl and changed the hot water for the four princes. The fourth prince couldn't help laughing, this kid is really interesting.

Situ Junyuan's speed was not slow, and after seven days, Situ Junyuan found out the results and came to report to the four princes.

"Your Highness, there is indeed a privately raised army in the mountains, about five thousand or so. The subordinates waited in the mountain for three days, and found that Liao Yongkang, who was next to the second prince, secretly came to the mountain to contact the army leader, "Situ Jun is far away."

"The second one? How can he afford to raise a private soldier? The fourth prince frowned.

Situ Jun said from afar: "One of the commanders of the private soldiers that my subordinates saw was Song Shi. ”

"Song Shi? The people of the Heyang Palace? ”

Situ Junyuan: "I heard that the relationship between the second prince and the eldest lady of the Heyang Royal Mansion is irreversible. ”

"Hehe, I see. Has the Song family already chosen my second brother? It's really troublesome. ”

Situ Junyuan continued: "Your Highness, your subordinates investigated the equipment of those private soldiers and found that it was the same as the equipment of the group that assassinated His Highness. The person who assassinated His Highness in the first place was probably transferred from these private soldiers. ”

"Smack-" The fourth prince slapped the teapot on the table and fell to the ground, shattering.

Zhang Mutou walked over lightly and collected the fragments, lest the four princes and Situ Junyuan accidentally be pierced by the fragments.

Situ Junyuan hung his head, and he didn't dare to come out.

"What a dick! Ruthless enough! The fourth prince said hatefully, "I think the third child fell off the horse and he did it." ”

After venting, the fourth prince quickly regained his composure and said to Situ Junyuan: "Think of a way to let the eldest person's people discover the second group's private army." ”

"Yes." Situ Junyuan responded and exited the study.

The four princes narrowed their eyes. With the temperament of the eldest prince, if he knew the private soldiers raised by the second prince, he would definitely directly lead the troops to fight with the private soldiers of the second prince, and when this matter became big, the emperor would definitely know. The second prince and the Heyang Royal Mansion are over. actually raised an army in private, and the second prince was ready to usurp the throne. Will the emperor spare them? Only this one, even if the second prince is the emperor's son, the emperor can't tolerate him. When the time comes, it will be revealed that the fourth prince and the third prince are all related to the second prince, and the emperor is likely to kill this son.

"Zhang Dexing, you are really the lucky star of His Royal Highness." The fourth prince spoke. Now, the second prince is his biggest opponent, he didn't expect that the second prince still has the hole card of private soldiers, if he doesn't solve these private soldiers, he will lose to the second prince in this battle for succession. Now that the second prince's private soldiers have been exposed, his ambitions have been exposed, and the emperor will definitely take action to clean him up, and the second prince will be completely defeated at this time. All of this was brought about by Zhang Mutou's inadvertent discovery, so ah, Zhang Mutou is really his lucky star.

Zhang Mutou had already cleaned up the pieces of the teapot, scratched his head when he heard the words, and pretended to smile stupidly.

The eldest prince was the most reckless of all the princes, so the emperor never thought of making him the heir. The eldest prince himself understood, so he chose the three princes of the same father and mother to support, but the third prince fell off the horse some time ago, broke his leg, became disabled, and broke the possibility of ascending the throne. Now I heard that the second prince raised a private soldier, and the third prince's leg was likely to be disabled by the second prince's people, and this anger suddenly found a channel to vent, and immediately found the emperor and asked the army to attack the private soldiers in the mountains.

The emperor was also taken aback when he heard the words of the eldest prince, raising private soldiers on the outskirts of the capital, and the second child really didn't take his father in his eyes, and he was shocked and began to plot to usurp the throne! While the emperor sent troops to the eldest prince and asked the eldest prince to be the vanguard to clean up the private soldiers in the mountains, he sent people to arrest the second prince and raided the Heyang Palace.

The second prince is Huang Furui's father, originally, he could kill the four princes, lead the private army, and use the power of the Heyang palace to get rid of the eldest prince and the third prince, go straight to the palace, force the emperor to abdicate, and become the emperor himself. The emperor was jealous of the second prince, and when he heard that the third prince fell and the fourth prince was attacked, the emperor was even more jealous and angry.

The second prince died, and the Heyang Royal Mansion was even more unhappy. The son became bad, and the parents always had to find the reason, and the Heyang Wangfu became a scourge that brought the second prince badly, and he was directly beheaded all over the house, and even the eldest lady of the Heyang Palace, that is, the person who Huangfu Rui called the "Queen Mother", should be demoted to the same level as the female dependents, but the emperor thought that it was this woman who seduced the second prince and pushed her to the vegetable market with the men of the Heyang Palace. Pity this woman, whether in reality or in other people's dreams, she has never ended well.

"Your Highness, Xiao Min saw a eunuch just now, he is a little familiar, it seems to be one of the ingredients that Xiao Min saw in the suburban mountain village when he first came to the capital." Zhang Mutou whispered in the ear of the fourth prince.

In order to eliminate the sluggish atmosphere brought about by the incident of the second prince, the palace held a banquet on the birthday of the concubine, and the fourth prince also took Zhang Mutou with him when he entered the palace. Zhang Mutou entered the palace where he had lived all his life, and his heart was full of emotion, his eyes were focused on the palace maids and eunuchs who came and went, trying to find familiar faces he once knew, not to mention, he really found one. It was the eunuch he told the fourth prince, this person, of course, he didn't see it in the mountain village, he just knew that this eunuch was the second prince's person, in his previous life, but he was one of the henchmen of the first emperor.

"Are you sure you're not looking at the wrong person?" The fourth prince narrowed his eyes and asked.

Zhang Mutou said: "The slave is sure that he is not mistaken. ”

The fourth prince waved his hand slightly, and the eunuch behind him stepped forward, this eunuch had light steps, and it seemed that he was a practitioner.

"Chang Ning, go check on that person." The fourth prince commanded.

Chang Ning responded and slipped out unnoticed. After a while, Chang Ning returned to the four princes without being noticed, lay on the ears of the four princes, and whispered the results of the investigation.

The fourth prince's eyes widened in astonishment, and he turned his head to look at Zhang Mu, this person was really his own lucky star.

Chang Ning investigated that person was the second henchman, the most loyal kind. In order to avenge the second child, the man infiltrated the imperial dining room and poisoned the emperor and the eldest prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth or sixth prince's wine jugs, trying to poison the emperor and the adult prince. Hehe, I have to say that this man is both loyal and capable. If only this man were his own subordinate, but it's a pity......

The wine was brought up and put on everyone's table, the four princes lifted the wine jug, shook it, poured themselves a glass of wine, picked up the wine glass, and sipped slowly and leisurely, after seeing that the emperor and several other adult princes had drunk two or three glasses in a row, the four princes used their sleeves to disguise, poured the remaining half of the wine into their sleeves, bit the tip of their tongues with their teeth, and squirted out a mouthful of blood.

"Father, don't drink it, it's poisonous in wine!"

Pop - the sound of the wine glasses falling to the ground sounded, and the wine glasses in the hands of the emperor and the adult princes fell, and they all fell, and their faces were pale, and they knew that they were poisoned at a glance. The four princes' faces also appeared blue, but their eyes were lighter than theirs.

In order not to make people suspicious, the four princes had to drink some poisonous wine into their stomachs.

The banquet was completely chaotic, and the imperial physician was summoned to give first aid to the emperor and the princes, but fortunately the lives of the people were finally saved, but the emperor and the rest of the princes were damaged by the toxins because they drank too much poisonous wine, and their health was worried in the future. Only if the Four Emperor Princes drink less and take good care of it for a period of time, they will be able to recover their healthy bodies.

Several princes were jealous of the four princes, and the emperor stared at the four princes thoughtfully, but after catching the prisoner who poisoned him and knowing that he was the confidant of the second prince, the emperor relieved his suspicion of the four princes and began to consider the succession.
