Chapter 55: Victory
Beiliuhai listened to everyone's discussions, and frowned, he himself didn't understand what was going on, every time he attacked him, the two tigers avoided together, hovering as if they were afraid of something.
Beiliuye intuitively felt that this was wrong, and even wondered if Beiliuhai had secretly moved his hands and feet, wanting to kill him here, and immediately flew out.
After flying out, Beiliuye stood aside, and the injured Beiliuxue supported the queen, and only Beiliuhai was left alone in the entire hall to face the two tigers.
But a strange thing happened, the two fierce tigers faced the Beiliuhai of the Four Highnesses and made a low and faint voice meekly, and they no longer attacked, as if they had the intention of retreating.
Gradually, the two tigers and Beiliuhai did not make a move, and the two tigers returned to the cage in fear.
The frightened little eunuch hurriedly locked the cage, and two tigers covered in blood crawled in the cage, their heads hanging listlessly, and making a low sound because of the pain.
The courtiers talked again, and Beiliuhai stood in the middle of the main hall, giving birth to an uneasy premonition.
"What the hell is going on, why do the two tigers look like sick cats when they see the Fourth Highness."
"I think it's because the four highnesses have dragon qi on their bodies, didn't Zhang Ge also say just now, this tiger saw the real dragon and naturally bowed down, His Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, and the four princes have always been favored by His Majesty, I think it is contaminated with some real dragon qi, so that the king of beasts will bow down to the minister."
Bei Liuhai's brows tightened, and he looked at the person who spoke, and found that this person was not his own person, and he noticed that it was not good for a while. As soon as these words came out, he became the target of the public, the tiger was the first to pounce on the emperor, but the emperor is the real dragon emperor, this tiger saw the emperor did not know how to bow, but saw himself but retreated, this is not to make the emperor see himself as a thorn in the side, thinking that he will replace him.
At the same time, whether it is Beiliuye, who is the crown prince, or Beiliuxue, the cold and noble eighth prince, they are all deeply affected by it, and he is injured and retreated, only he is unscathed, if it is really interpreted as being contaminated with the emperor's dragon energy, the most deterrent person should be the prince.
I am afraid that as soon as these words come out, those princes' henchmen and the old six and others who are eyeing him will think that he is very likely to be the destined Son of Heaven, and all the spearheads will be aimed at him for a while.
Emperor Beiyan's expression was a little unpredictable, and the one lying at his feet was the fragrant beauty he had just used to block the tiger, but at this moment, he had turned into a corpse, his pupils dilated, full of horror.
"Prince, what's going on! This is the birthday gift you carefully prepared for me? I think you're dying too long! Emperor Beiyan asked sharply.
Beiliuye knelt on the ground: "The son is guilty, it is the son who is greedy and reckless, put his father in danger, and implore his father to punish him heavily." ”
A minister of the Four Princes' Party on the side said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince also wants to please you, but he never thought of putting you in danger, but I am afraid that at this moment he is more sad than anyone else, and he is also injured a lot because of this, which shows that this matter is really unexpected." ”
Chu Luoyi raised his eyes and looked at the next day, Beiliuyun said softly on the side: "This person is a veteran of the two dynasties, a second-grade great yuan, and a solid supporter of Beiliuhai. ”
Chu Luoyi said softly: "You have to pay more attention to this person, this person is familiar with the emperor's temperament, and he uses it properly, not to be underestimated." ”
Beiliuyun bowed slightly, Chu Luoyi continued to pay attention to the movements in the main hall, and as he expected, as soon as these words came out, the anger that Emperor Beiyan had originally suppressed jumped up.
"Why, according to Qin Aiqing's meaning, I still want to reward the prince for his meritorious service in saving the driver, right! I also have to look for good medicine for him, and look for miracle doctors to heal him, right? Or I want to kowtow and bow down to thank my good son for not letting that beast eat me! Emperor Beiyan asked.
The hall was silent, bearing the wrath of the Son of Heaven.
Chu Luoyi analyzed the current situation, in fact, the prince's reaction was really sensitive, as soon as Emperor Beiyan was held accountable, the prince calmly pleaded guilty, did not shirk or justify, and only asked for a heavy punishment.
This kind of attitude can eliminate the anger of Emperor Beiyan the most, and at this time, the most important thing is to intercede for the prince, once someone intercedes, it will only make the emperor's suppressed anger ignite again and erupt, and that Lord Qin is just right to grasp the emperor's mind.
Beiliuye did not ask for punishment again this time, and then opened his mouth to ask for punishment at this time, the emperor happened to find an outlet, and he would definitely not let him go.
And the ministers under Beiliuye finally made a difficulty, and said: "Lord Qin's words are wrong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just taking responsibility for his own mistakes, if it is really said that the rescue is meritorious, it should be the Fourth Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Eighth Highness joined forces, but they failed to repel the tiger, but the Fourth Highness, without a single move, forced the tiger to obediently return to the cage, which is really a great contribution!" ”
Emperor Beiyan's expression became obscure for a while, and compared to the anger he had just faced with the prince, he looked a little gloomy at this time, after all, compared to the prince's frank mistakes, Beiliuhai seemed a little weird.
And at this moment, in the heart of Emperor Beiyan, there is already a faint resistance and precaution against Beiliuhai, worried about whether Beiliuhai will one day replace it, after all, the scene of the tiger rushing towards him just now has been deeply engraved in his mind, and the previous minister clearly stated that this tiger will surrender because he sees the true dragon emperor.
"Hai'er has made great contributions this time, and Hai'er led the troops to conquer Biluo Country this time and returned victoriously, he is really the first god of war in my Northern Yan, rewarding 10,000 taels of gold, 1,000 acres of fertile land, and being in charge of 100,000 horses of the Flying Shadow Army." Emperor Chrysostom began to reward him.
Beiliuhai clenched his fists, he was fighting abroad for half a year, according to common sense, this time he returned, he should have been in charge of 300,000 soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi, but now because of this incident, the emperor only sent him 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the frontier, which is the same as nothing, and basically does not help his forces at all.
"This time I returned victorious, thanks to the residual prestige left by my father, how can my sons take credit? The sons can defeat the tiger without a fight, but it is because he remembers his father's words that he will surrender without a fight. Beiliuhai was sonorous, dressed in a black robe, with a straight back, kneeling in the middle of the hall.
"Huh? You deserve to be rewarded for your efforts. Emperor Beiyan waved his hand.
Beiliuhai is already good at fighting, has a rebellious personality, and is not very good at arguing, even if he tries to exonerate himself at the moment, he can't dispel the emperor's suspicions.
A birthday banquet is over, and everyone has different thoughts.
After three games, Wang Zhi and Xiao Yuluo and other people in Xiao's mansion all followed Beiliuyun's steps and walked out.
Wang Zhi arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness Nine on his victory." ”
Xiao Yuluo's father, Zuodu Yushi, also smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Ninth is really beautiful, just as soon as he appeared, he gave them a dismount, this time, the prince was reprimanded, which made His Majesty dissatisfied, the four princes lost their military power, which made His Majesty suspicious, and the eighth prince was seriously injured to save the queen, and His Royal Highness the Ninth can be said to have won all the games." ”
Beiliuyun arched his hand and said: "Lord Xiao praised it falsely, this time things went so smoothly, thanks to the arrangement of the father-in-law, if it wasn't for the father-in-law to take care of everything, how could His Highness win by luck?" ”
Chu Luoyi stood quietly on the side and lowered his eyes and was silent, yes, this victory really depends on Wang Zhi's forces, at least only Wang Zhi has the ability to do something on the heavily supervised tiger, otherwise the tiger that should be docile will not go crazy.
Xiao Yuluo looked very happy, but because of the large number of people, he didn't show it, but just said: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness Jiu on returning to the palace." ”
Bei Liuyun smiled slightly: "Thanks to the help of my father-in-law and Lord Xiao, otherwise where would Bei Liuyun be today." ”
Wang Zhi nodded with satisfaction, Lord Xiao's polite attitude towards him was also quite useful, and the group exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then parted ways.
This time, several people were involved, and the balance of the court was broken in an instant, and several people fought openly and secretly, and it was chaotic, which would be the best time for Beiliuyun to gain a foothold in the court and form his own forces.
Chu Luoyi's eyes flashed with a gleam, except for the disputes between several princes and emperors, I was afraid that the harem would also set off some turbulent waves.
The queen fell from the high platform, it must have been done by Concubine Rou, and the queen was fine, but she was seriously injured by Beiliuxue, and the queen categorically would not let go of Concubine Rou! And this will be the best time for her to gain a foothold in the harem, and it will also be the best opportunity to pave the way for Beiliuyun. It's just that time is pressing, the crown prince and the fourth prince are not fools after all, it won't be long before they wake up to the fact that only by using their mutual containment and establishing their own power in the cracks can they quickly gain a foothold in the court.
Until Bei Liuyun and Chu Luoyi disappeared from the sight of the two, Zuo Du Yushi Ping withdrew his family members and followed Wang Zhi and said: "Gonggong, you support His Royal Highness Nine like this, aren't you afraid that he will one day cross the river and tear down the bridge?" ”
Wang Zhi narrowed his eyes and said, "Our family thought that he was just a puppet, but it was only after this incident that we were shocked, but we underestimated him." ”
"Xia Guan also thinks that this Nine Highnesses are quite scheming, and this time the game is laid out, it is necessary to carefully analyze the situation in the DPRK and China, figure out everyone's thoughts, and even the reaction of their henchmen is calculated, so as to ensure that he is the biggest winner in the end." Zuodu Yushi analyzed.
"You think we don't know? This is an extremely simple game, how many people are counted into it, and how often have you seen the crown prince and the four princes lose at the same time? This court is going to be in chaos..."
"Factory Father.. Then if one day the Nine Highnesses turn the head of the spear.."
Wang Zhi snorted coldly: "Don't worry, our family has its own preparations, our family originally wanted to wait until he was full-fledged, and then suppress it, but according to the current situation, it can't wait for that time." ”
The news in the palace spread very quickly, although the change of the prince's birthday ceremony today seems to have taken everyone's attention, but it is undeniable that everyone also knows that there is a Ninth Highness in the palace on this day that cannot be underestimated.
Chu Luoyi quietly followed Beiliuyun's side, and all the palace people he met along the way bowed their heads and greeted him, as if the down-and-out prince who no one cared about had become a thing of the past.
