Chapter 53: Counting is Counting
It is certain that the prince will squeeze him out of this matter and get the right to supervise him, but even so, will he really win?
Sometimes, gaining is not necessarily a good thing, and losing is not necessarily a blessing.
What matters is not the outcome of this incident, but whether the father can see something from this process.
Now that my father is supporting himself, he is only to compete with the power of the Zhou family, in fact, there is no dissatisfaction and eradication of the prince himself. But the father thought in his heart, and the father should be able to think that the prince deliberately caused harm in this matter. Even if it is out of the love of father and son, I can't bear to confirm it in my heart, but there are always doubts.
With this doubt, it is the basis of all future doubts. What's more, with such suspicions, how could the father really blame him? I guess it's just the point.
In this matter, the prince's thinking can be described as extremely comprehensive, but he has calculated thousands of things, and he forgot to calculate the wisdom of his father.
In fact, the best way for the prince to deal with the power of supervising the rectification of the Sanhuai River is to not move. Let him take on this heavy responsibility, and in the process, find his mistakes. At that time, the matter of rectifying the river involves a wide range of things, and there are many things that need to be dealt with, and he will inevitably have some momentary negligence and cannot take care of the places.
So what he has been worried about all the time is that the crown prince will not compete with him for the right to supervise.
When his father instructed him to mention the rectification of the Sanhuai River, he didn't want to take over the right to supervise, and he didn't want to be a bird that everyone could beat. But since his father had instructed him to do so, it was absolutely impossible for him to disappoint his father in this matter. Because this instruction is a clear beginning to support him to deal with the Zhou family.
In any case, if his father has this instruction, he must mention it well, skillfully, and properly. And after taking over the power of supervision, someone couldn't hold it back and helped him retreat.
After waiting for a long time, the maids and maids sent by the government to search for them hurriedly returned to Qinfang Pavilion with the two princesses. I heard a report from one of the small servants: "Your Highness, we searched all over the house, but we really couldn't find any trace of the princess Niangniang, Xu is ......"
The crown prince frowned, and said angrily: "These thieves, dare to offend this palace!" Hongu sees that they have lived enough! ”
"Oops...... Weichen heard that these people in the rivers and lakes are the most lawless and the most willing to find excitement", Wei Dongqi said, "The more others dare not do it, the more they have to do it to show their ability." These people are arrogant, how can they realize the consequences of this!"
"What the adults say is reasonable", Song Xu said, "These thieves are not only not ashamed of doing big and unethical things, but are proud of them." We think this is a lifeless and unreasonable behavior, and it is estimated that it will be rumored to be a good story in the rivers and lakes. Dare to go to the prince's mansion to rob people, and in the future, these people will walk in the rivers and lakes, and everyone will look up at them. ”
"These scoundrels! Xiaohai, you go and report to the official! Let the government be sure to arrest these gangsters! The prince commanded.
Originally, there was nothing to do, but they decided it to be true in a few words.
Originally, the prince just wanted to get a bold gangster to enter the house and rob people, and he didn't want to fall on anyone, and when the time came, he grabbed a random person and cut it down by pretending to be a nearby bandit, and no one could find fault with it. But Wei Dongqi, the old guy, really has a good eye, and when he and Song Xu drank one by one, they even figured out which group of people did it. In this way, it is even more realistic.
Seeing that this good scene was finally over, King Chen got up lazily and said, "Big brother, are you still going to Cining Palace?" If the eldest brother doesn't go, I'm going to find my princess, and maybe I can catch the real gangsters behind the scenes!"
Without waiting for the prince to speak, King Chen smiled and said, "But I guess, the eldest brother will definitely go, otherwise the names of those concubines in the palace will not be lost in vain?" And the back house is a mess, and it must have taken a lot of manpower. ”
"There are only six of them, what manpower can they have? It's just some gangsters who will pinch the right time, taking advantage of our feast and drinking in the front house, and enter the house rampantly! The third brother is laughing at his brother, the prince's mansion, the defense is not strict? ”
When the prince said a few words, he diverted the meaning of King Chen.
King Chen smiled and did not continue to explain. Everyone present at this time knows in their hearts, but most of these people are the prince's people, even if they can understand it clearly, what use can it be? Why waste so much in vain to make it clearer for them? It's good to get to the point, no one is a fool.
"Indeed, ......" The prince's tone suddenly softened, and he blamed himself, "The princess has an accident in the palace of this palace, and this palace can't get rid of it, and it is normal for you to complain." It's just the third brother, have you ever thought that your princess is just gone, and you complain about the elder brother of the palace like this, but what did you do to your sister-in-law? Still under the nose of the main palace! ”
"This is ......," the prince sighed, "you have broken your brother's heart too much." One thing is one thing, if the princess has an accident in this palace, the palace will definitely report to the official, let the people from Jingzhao Yin Mansion investigate thoroughly, and give you an explanation to the third brother. But what you are doing in this palace, third brother, you can't put it off. ”
"Now that I have been instructed, it is better for you to go and ask to see the imperial grandmother now. This is a family matter, your right or wrong, by our royal elders, the elders will know right and wrong, and will give you the punishment you deserve. Third brother, don't hate your brother, if you repent and act more properly in the future, you will naturally understand the hard work of being an elder brother. ”
The prince's tirade is also self-responsibility, and it is also a heartfelt complaint, to put it bluntly, it is just one sentence - this situation, I have decided.
Feng Beining and Feng Beiyi listened on the side, although they didn't see the show for the first time, but when they heard the prince say this, and saw Hui Meiren sitting on the chair and sobbing softly, they naturally understood a thing or two.
"Big brother, if you have something to say, maybe there is some misunderstanding in this", Feng Bei condensed, "Who doesn't know the love between the third brother and the third sister-in-law?" What's more, the eldest brother's Hui Mei is not as good as the third sister-in-law...... Even if the third brother is drunk, it is impossible to be rude to Huimeiren! What's more, the third brother has a good amount of alcohol, which is a well-known thing! ”
Feng Beining's seemingly ignorant words revealed the crux of the matter.
But...... At this time, it is useless to tell the key, because these people are all the prince's people.
"Okay", the prince was very tolerant of his sister, and did not treat it with an angry attitude, but said gently, "Ning'er, you are still young, you don't know what it is about." When you have someone you love, you'll understand. ”
The prince glanced at Qin Yingyue and sighed: "No matter how beautiful someone else is, you fell in love with her first, but you can't forget it." Where can someone else be replaced......"
These words are naturally talking about King Chen's affection for Qin Yingyue.
"Everyone, I'm sorry", the prince turned around, hugged his fists to everyone present, and said, "This palace originally wanted to invite everyone to come over and have fun, but this play was not heard, and the dinner party was useless. Let's disperse today, another day will be calm, and the palace will invite all the princes and adults to feast and drink to make amends. ”
"Your Highness is too polite, if something like this happens, we are all worried about Your Highness, how can we care about these little things that are not fun? His Royal Highness is busy with business, and the back house has been burglarized, so there must be some things that need to be handled by His Highness personally, and the ministers will retire first......" Song Xu Shili said.
King Chen glanced at Song Xu and felt that this person's words and deeds, although he was extremely flattering, was a villain, but he had a lot of speech skills, and his brain was extremely active, and he would be very good at seeing the right time.
The others also bowed to the crown prince and said goodbye, naturally, they couldn't be too obvious, and they also gave farewell gifts to King Chen and King Jing.
"Let's go, third brother, let's go out with the adults." Prince Road.
is afraid that these people will leave, no one will stare at King Chen, and King Chen will refuse.
King Chen smiled, shook his head, and strode gracefully, but he was some distance ahead of the prince.
The crown prince glanced at King Chen's back, then turned around and looked at Qin Yingyue, a touch of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
This time, if you can't take advantage of Qin Yingyue's reason to frustrate your sharpness, you will grow in the future, and I am afraid that you will really have to play under the nose of this palace. His third brother is by no means a rule-abiding person, he knows this very well.
King Chen went out of the prince's mansion before the prince, and exchanged a few words with the princes who turned to say goodbye to him. did not continue to move forward in style, but waited for the prince at the door.
If the eldest brother realizes the most important point, this trouble going to the palace will definitely not happen. Naturally, he can't be given a chance to think more, so he should take advantage of this kung fu to let him act well.
The eldest brother is also superb in chess, and it is not easy for this game to be so exquisite. In fact, winning or losing this time is just a trick. It was the eldest brother who didn't expect that he didn't want to take on the heavy responsibility of this supervision in the first place.
The prince glanced at King Chen, the carriage had stopped in front of the mansion, the prince didn't say anything, and strode into the car.
Qin Yingyue followed behind the prince, hanging her head, sad and sad. The prince pulled her, and Qin Yingyue also sat in the car.
"Third brother, will you go with my carriage?" King Jing said.
"No, since this is a matter between the eldest brother and me, it would be better for us to ride in the same carriage." King Chen.
The prince could not be given the opportunity to realize the subtleties of this matter. In this game of chess, the difference is only a fraction, a thought flashes, and the win or loss is immediately reversed.
"Huimeiren, bothering you to go to the princess's carriage?" King Chen lifted the curtain.
The prince thought to himself, what the hell is the third child doing?
