On the Jinluan Palace, the fourth prince Zhuang Yusheng wore a dragon robe and knelt in front of Liang Jun to receive the award.

After three kowtows, Zhuang Yusheng stood up again, turned to face the civil and military officials, put his hands behind his back, and was not angry and arrogant.

"See the Prince!"

The civil and military officials bowed and saluted, extremely respectful.

Among them, Zhuang Yuwen, the third prince, was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and his eyes almost breathed fire.

"Zhongqing is flat. Zhuang Yusheng said.

"Prince Xie!", the civil and military officials held their heads high again.

Zhuang Yusheng has become the crown prince, and in front of the Jinluan Palace, he will also stand in front of Yan Kun.

Although Shoufu is the head of the government, he is still no older than the crown prince, because the prince is the prince and the heir to the future monarch.

Even the first minister will assist him wholeheartedly in the future.

But Zhuang Yusheng was not half happy, in addition to his serious expression at this moment, there were also bursts of worry in his eyes.

............

After the end of the early dynasty, the third prince Zhuang Yuwen was furious in the room and broke a lot of things.

"Damn! Why! Why is it the fourth child who is the prince!"

"The crown prince should be me, I am the future monarch of Liang State, and the country of Liang should be mine!"

"Thesis talent, the fourth is not as good as me, in terms of cultivation, I am also Hanlin, why should the fourth child ride on my head?"

"If he is the crown prince, then what am I? Will I be a prince in the future? Phew! I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"

"Your Highness, please calm your anger. ”

Yan Kun stood aside and said: "The fourth prince only relied on the literary names of Yang Xiuyuan and Lu Ming to sit on the throne of the crown prince, but in terms of real power, the old man is still the first assistant." ”

"What's the use of Shousuke, can you make me a prince, can you make me a future king?"

Zhuang Yuwen scolded loudly: "Lord Yan, I don't treat you well on weekdays, if it weren't for the military power I gave you, would you be able to fight against Yang Xiuyuan above the court?"

Yan Kun immediately bowed down and said, "Your Highness, please listen to the old man's words, according to the minister, it is not impossible to let the four princes occupy the position of the crown prince." ”

"Do you still think this is a good thing?", Zhuang Yuwen was even more angry.

"The four princes are already the crown prince, this is an unchangeable fact, but this also means that the four princes will lead the civil and military officials to assist Liang Jun in handling the government, but with his current talent, let alone governing a country, it is a problem for him to govern a palace and a city, even if Yang Xiuyuan is there, many chores alone are enough for the prince to work for a while. ”

"Taking advantage of the fact that the prince has not yet sat firmly in the position of the prince during this time, we can keep our eyes on the dark and develop our forces secretly, as long as we disobey the prince and do not reveal their handles, the king will not be able to help us. ”

"Now, as long as we try to create all kinds of problems for the fourth prince, so that his merits will be reduced, and your merits will be raised, the old man can propose that Liang Jun abolish the crown prince. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhuang Yusheng's eyes lit up, but he said disapprerovingly: "Don't forget, Lord Shoufu, there is still a Lu Ming by the side of the fourth child, as long as he is there, it is impossible for the father to abolish the fourth child." ”

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if the fourth prince will ascend the throne as the monarch tomorrow, as long as the old man does not agree, as long as you do not agree, as long as the officials of my Shoufu Party do not agree, even if he sits on the dragon chair, it is a dragon chair with thorns, uncomfortable!"

Yan Kun said sharply: "Don't forget, we not only have official positions, but also real power! The old man's 600,000 Yan family army can't defeat the 350,000 Zhenzhou army?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhuang Yusheng was immediately relieved, and continued: "Lord Shoufu's words are extremely true, it seems that I am too anxious, you are right, the dragon chair is not good, whoever sits on it is a chair with thorns, in this case, we will use the power of the fourth child to smooth out the piercing ears, and I will be much more comfortable when I sit on it." ”

"Your Highness is very intelligent, and you can really understand it at one point. Yan Kun said with a smile.

Lu Wenhou Mansion.

Lu Ming was originally a scholar, but suddenly the official seal shook and he received a summons.

It turned out that this letter was sent by the crown prince Zhuang Yusheng, and Zhuang Yusheng will hold a banquet in Yunxuan Pavilion tonight, inviting the officials who assist him to have dinner with many scholars, hoping that Lu Ming will also be able to attend at that time.

Lu Ming immediately replied to the message, saying that he would definitely go to the banquet in time tonight.

"Sir!"

The housekeeper Li Yu walked into the study, holding a large stack of invitations in his hand, and said to Lu Ming respectfully: "This is an invitation sent by many families in the capital, saying that you are invited to eat at the restaurant tonight." ”

Lu Ming frowned, now his literary name is more prosperous than before, not to mention a famous family, even many big people want to find a chance to get to know him.

But there are too many of these entertainments, and Lu Ming can't go to every house, but if he refuses them all, it is easy to offend others.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ming said: "Brother Li Yu, you help me reply to these invitations, just say that I am going to attend the prince's banquet tonight, I can only refuse their kindness, and I will hold a banquet to apologize to them another day." ”

Li Yu's face changed, and he said, "Master, these are all family invitations, it's a bit bad to refuse them all?"

"It's okay, I've been invited to the prince's banquet, I have to go, I think they'll understand. ”

"Okay, I see. ”

Li Yu nodded lightly: "That villain won't disturb your reading, and retreat first." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Yu withdrew from the study.

Night.

Lu Ming came to Yunxuan Pavilion on time to participate in the banquet, at this moment, there were already many scholars and court officials, familiar people greeted each other, and unfamiliar people met each other.

Soon, Lu Ming found that there were two scholars sitting in the middle of the venue, it was Yang Xiuyuan and Fan Guanhai.

"Lu Ming?"

I don't know who shouted, everyone turned around in unison, and immediately someone exclaimed: "It's Lu Zhenguo, he has also been invited to tonight's prince's banquet." ”

"See Lord Wenhou!"

"See Zhen Guogong!"

All the scholars saluted Lu Ming one after another, and their attitudes were extremely respectful, treating him like a scholar, or even more respectful than a scholar.

"Lu Ming has seen all of you. Lu Ming returned the salute one by one.

Tonight is not a literary meeting, and there are many officials here, so it is not suitable to be called "classmates", and the people who come here tonight are all scholars who assist the prince Zhuang Yusheng, so Lu Ming is called "colleagues".

"Lu Wenhou is here, I and the scholars of Yunxuan Pavilion have lost their welcome, and please atone for their sins. ”

"Lu Zhenguo's name is like thunder, and today he came to participate in the prince's banquet held by our Yunxuan Pavilion, which is really brilliant. ”

When Lu Ming heard this, he smiled and said, "You are all colleagues who assist the prince, and there are no outsiders in Yunxuan Pavilion, so there is no need to be so polite." ”

"Since that's the case, then please take a seat for Lu Zhenguo. ”

"Please!"
