Chapter 406: Now I Know I'm Afraid?
Baili Qingcang is now completely conspiratorial, and he always feels that he is in danger in all directions, and he can't even find anyone around him who can be trusted.
Suddenly, he thought of Baili Junyi, who was almost forced to a desperate situation by him, he was robbed of all his titles from the prince of the palace, and the mansion was copied again, not to mention, and now he is still guarded by the dragon scale army, he opened his mouth to reprimand him several times, and even almost cut him with a sword, he did not have the slightest complaint, every time he saw himself, he was still respectful, even if he asked him to write an article to refute the student, he did not hesitate, and now there are voices denouncing and insulting him everywhere outside. If there is one prince who really regards himself as a father, it should be Baili Junyi.
Baili Qingcang's mind turned quickly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that among the several sons, only Baili Junyi was still a good one, he was recognized back to the palace when he became an adult, no other prince had a deep foundation, and the mother family behind him also turned to support the third prince, Shen Ninghua, whom he married, broke away from the Shen family, and it didn't help him, why did he think he was a threat in the first place? Now that I think about it, he is clearly the weakest one!
He has only been back in the royal family for a few years, and even if he is a genius, it is difficult to compete with other princes, so he is the one who needs his support the most, and he is also the one who doesn't want to have an accident with him.
Thinking like this, the chagrin in his heart became heavier and heavier, although he recognized Baili Junyi's goodness, but he couldn't directly promote him back, and he also had to see if he really had no resentment towards himself.
After a few days, the court still denounced Baili Junyi, every day when he went to the court, it seemed that there was no other thing to discuss in the world, and eight of the ten ministers wrote to say that Baili Junyi's affairs, and it seemed that he would not stop if he was executed. Looking at the faces of these officials, Baili Qingcang felt more and more cold in his heart, how many courtiers in the court were really loyal to him? They thought they were getting old, so they stood in line in advance and prepared to be loyal to the new king? These things don't know whether to live or die!
Baili Qingcang couldn't help but miss the good of Baili Junyi, when he stood alone in the court, those officials were all silent, one by one, they played errands in a proper manner, and no one dared to make a moth, and now Baili Junyi has been grounded by himself for only a long time, and he is going to turn the sky upside down!
Back in the south study, the more he thought about it, the more angry Baili Qingcang dropped a few pieces of porcelain to calm down, and then called the waiter in: "How many days is there until Princess An Yue goes to Da Yue Kingdom?" ”
"Back to the emperor, in seven days will be the auspicious day set by the emperor."
"Well, after passing the decree, I will hold a send-off banquet for the six princes of Dayue and Princess Anyue in the Chengqian Palace, so that all the princes and courtiers above the fifth rank will come to participate with their families."
The chamberlain's heart trembled: "Your Majesty, the five princes are still in the grounding recently...... "Can all these princes include the five princes who have been in the limelight recently?"
"Bastard! Didn't you understand what I said? I said it was all the princes! ”
"Yes, the slave understands, and the emperor is angry." The chamberlain crawled out of the south study.
Baili Qingcang's order was given, and the news spread from the palace to the surroundings of Kyoto in a radiant manner. The third prince almost crushed the wine glass in his hand, and slammed the table in front of him to the ground, and the babbling and singing actors on the stage not far away hurriedly closed their voices, and knelt on the ground tremblingly and hung their heads.
The fourth prince on the side didn't know why: "Third brother, what's wrong?" ”
The third prince waved his hand to let the people around him retreat, and said in a deep voice: "Father wants to hold a farewell banquet for Bu Jinglan and Lin Feiyuan, so that all the people can participate." ”
"What's this? Wait a minute...... You say all the princes? ”
"Yes, all!" The third prince gritted his teeth, eager to bite the words that came out of his mouth, "Is the father crazy?" Could it be that he is really old and confused, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't dispose of Baili Junyi, and now he is even allowed to participate in the banquet, what does it mean! ”
The fourth prince was shocked in his heart, and looked around to see that there was no one and breathed a sigh of relief: "Third Emperor Brother, don't talk nonsense." ”
The third prince gritted his teeth with hatred: "To be able to force Baili Junyi to this point, how much effort did we take, manpower, silver, I don't know how much it spent, but in the end it was all in vain, what does my father want to do?" Is it fun to play with us? ”
"Now my father's mind is uncertain, who can guess it?"
"No, it can't be like this, Baili Junyi is unpredictable, once he succeeds and gains the trust of his father, I'm afraid that those of us who come out against him will not have good fruit to eat."
Thinking of Baili Junyi's methods, the fourth prince was also worried in his heart: "Third brother, what do you want to do?" ”
"Let people contact the ministers, and collectively ask the father to dispose of Baili Junyi!"
"Will this work? How many concerts have we had before, but the result is not a stone in the sea, and we have not received any news at all? ”
"If it doesn't work, try it."
The three princes made a decision to contact the ministers, but the ministers who received the news hesitated, they promised to deal with Baili Junyi at the beginning, because he had no chance to turn over, and he would not retaliate against them again, but now the emperor suddenly let him participate in the banquet, if they have no effect, then wouldn't it offend him, who knows if Baili Junyi still has other evidence in their hands?
Many courtiers were frightened, and no one dared to move after receiving the news of the three princes, and the angry three princes almost fell to the ground: "Useless things, a group of useless things!" With that, he changed his clothes and walked towards the palace.
Concubine Li hadn't gotten the news here yet, and when she saw the third prince with a gloomy face walking in, her eyebrows furrowed slightly: "What's wrong?" ”
"Mother concubine, my father is ready to release Baili Junyi."
"What do you say? This is not yet disposed of and is going to be released? Concubine Li's eyes widened, unable to believe her ears.
"Yes," the resentment in the heart of the third prince could barely be suppressed, "Erchen can't figure it out, it is clear that everything is well planned, but now it has fallen short!" As he spoke, he punched the pillar beside him, trembling with anger.
Concubine Li took a deep breath: "What does the emperor want to do now?" ”
The third prince's face was full of embarrassment: "Mother, do you have a way?" Now Erchen is really difficult to deal with, those ministers know that Baili Junyi is going to be released, they are all frightened, and Erchen doesn't agree to contact him, so he pretends not to see it, Erchen really doesn't know what to do! ”
Concubine Li frowned tightly: "You let this palace think about it, let this palace think about it, this matter will definitely not be so simple, the emperor was really annoyed with Baili Junyi before, although I don't know what reason I want to let him out now, but there must still be doubts in my heart, as long as this suspicion is deepened, then under the anger, it is possible for the emperor to kill him directly!" ”
The third prince's eyes lit up: "Mother, what should I do?" ”
"I remember you said before that Baili Junyi's life story was revealed, didn't you?"
"Although it has not been exposed, this rumor is spreading outside."
Concubine Li nodded: "That's good, your son is the grandson of Prince An, at this time, you can use it, Prince An is too late to rush over, isn't there still a step in the wind, Baili Junyi's life experience was not disclosed before, naturally there is no room for them to speak, but now there is." ”
"Mother, my father must have heard this rumor, but he didn't react, could it be that he already knew, we have little room to maneuver around this matter."
Concubine Li's willow eyebrows were raised: "Stupid? Bu Yuntian was killed at the beginning, you said that Baili Junyi knew his life experience, didn't he want to avenge his mother's concubine? There is no child in the world who will not love his biological mother, right? ”
The eyes of the third prince lit up: "Yes, what the mother concubine said is that the son-in-law understands, and the son-in-law will do it." ”
"Wait," Concubine Li looked at him helplessly, "Do you want to do it yourself?" ”
"Huh? Does the concubine have other ideas? ”
"Didn't you investigate that the second prince had a conflict with Baili Junyi in Zhou City before? Push the matter onto him. ”
The eyes of the third prince lit up: "It's still the mother's thoughtfulness, and the son-in-law understands, thank you to the mother." ”
The whole of Kyoto was in a mess in private because of an order from Baili Qingcang, but Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua were extremely indifferent.
In the study, Shen Ninghua walked in with her two children, and saw Baili Junyi sorting out his court clothes with a smile on his face.
"Ning Hua, it's noon, why are you here?" Seeing Shen Ninghua, he hurriedly got up and helped her sit down.
The boss and Xiaobao stepped forward with a smile to look at the pro-dynasty clothes hanging on the shelf, and reached out to pick the gems inlaid on them. Baili Junyi didn't stop it when he saw it, and let the two of them play.
"You have been robbed of your title, you can't wear the clothes of the pro-dynasty, but the clothes of ordinary princes can fit?"
"If it doesn't fit, I'll go in my regular clothes."
Shen Ninghua couldn't help laughing, and when she saw that Xiaobao couldn't hold the gem, she asked the boss to help her bite her mouth, so she hurriedly stopped her: "You two are not allowed to be naughty." ”
Xiaobao and the boss hurriedly rubbed back, and one of them stood beside Baili Junyi: "Mother." ”
Baili Junyi didn't care: "Go play, it's okay." ”
Shen Ninghua glared at him helplessly: "I heard Hongling say that the third prince has been making frequent moves recently, you have to be careful." ”
"Don't worry, I've been ready for a long time today, royal brothers, ministers, I will talk to them one by one, Ning Hua, you will sit and watch the play that day, protect our daughter well, and don't pay attention to anything else."
"Okay, listen to you." Shen Ninghua smiled and nodded.
The palace is newly furnished, the table in the Chengqian Hall is neat, the table is arranged with exquisite fruits, snacks, dishes, and a maid bows down and stands behind, with a slender figure and eyebrows.
The ministers arrived in the hall in advance, but they all waited quietly with their heads down, without the slightest intention of talking. Today is the day when the evil god of Baili Junyi comes out, and now they only pray that this fire will not burn on themselves!
