Chapter 247: Everyone's Scheming

Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

The third prince looked at Wang Dezi and smiled, "I recently got a new agate object, but I don't know these things, I heard that the prince is very experienced in agate, and I bother the prince to help appreciate one or two." ”

Wang Dezi is a close attendant of Emperor Cheng, and if he wants to get more news in the palace in the future, Wang Dezi's help will be indispensable, so this person can't be offended and has to be encircled.

"Hehe, I'm afraid that the minion's shallow knowledge will disappoint the third prince." Wang Dezi said with a smile.

The third prince's eyes were slightly gloomy, but he still kept a smile on his face, "The prince will take a look first." ”

As he spoke, he opened the brocade box in his hand, and there was a string of superb agate bracelets inside, Wang Dezi was stunned when he saw it, and his hand subconsciously touched his wrist, "This is?" ”

"The king of the Western Regions got a top-grade agate a few years ago and ordered the craftsman to make two bracelets. I heard that one of the bracelets is now on the Prince's Mansion, and now the remaining one is with me. The third prince smiled softly again, "I haven't walked in the palace for many years, and I am very unfamiliar with the affairs in the palace, so please mention one or two on the fair day." ”

Wang Dezi can tell that the color grade of this thing is exactly the same as the one she has in her hand, she has always liked agate, especially the top agate, and now that she can make a pair, she is naturally happy. But he also understood the words of the third prince, and this was to ask him to do things for the third prince in private.

Wang Dezi is greedy for money, but since he can climb to Emperor Cheng's side for more than ten years and has not been squeezed down, he can do it not just by being greedy for money.

He was greedy for money, and Emperor Cheng knew and acquiesced, but the premise was that he was completely loyal to Emperor Cheng. On weekdays, he collects an object in private, and it is nothing to reveal a few inconsequential news. But if he dared to vote for a prince in private, once Emperor Cheng found out, his life would not be saved. Wang Dezi is not stupid, so naturally he will not make trouble for himself for a bracelet.

He went through the intentions of the three princes in his mind, and his smile became cold, "The slave is cheap, and he will never dare to accept such a good thing, so the third prince should give it to the person who deserves it." ”

The third prince didn't expect Wang Dezi to refuse him without hesitation, his face was a little ugly for a while, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "The prince is not too polite, it doesn't matter if you don't like this, as long as you open your mouth, I can satisfy you." ”

Wang Dezi shook his head, lowered his eyes and said, "Don't say anything about the third prince, the saint is still waiting for the servants to serve, and the servants will go back to the palace first." ”

"Father-in-law, please." The third prince was still smiling, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a bit of coldness in this smile, and he watched Wang Dezi enter the inner hall, and then turned around and left.

Wang Dezi entered the inner hall, the prince stopped crying, and was playing chess with Emperor Cheng in the house, he didn't know whether he was deliberately letting or really not good at chess, in short, Emperor Cheng was playing both fun and winning.

The crown prince stayed in the palace of Emperor Cheng for a total of about four hours, and at this time, the news quickly spread outside the palace, and the ministers who were still speculating a while ago that the prince would be deposed will be shaken again.

When the news reached the mansion of the third prince, he angrily smashed a whole set of blue and white porcelain teacups, which frightened the people in the house one by one lowered their heads and did not dare to take a breath.

"Who made our third prince so angry, see if I don't beat him." A man dressed in green cloth at the door walked in, holding a brocade box in his hand, and when he stepped into the door with one foot, he saw broken porcelain all over the floor, and couldn't help laughing.

"Zi'an, you don't talk about cool things, hurry up and come in and give me ideas." When the third prince saw someone coming, he hurriedly beckoned to him.

Xu Zi'an entered the door, bowed to the three princes, and then put the brocade box in his arms in front of the three princes, "My subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored here." ”

The third prince was stunned for a moment, followed by ecstasy, he stretched out his hand to open the brocade box and saw three Hetian jade talismans lying quietly inside, which were all treasures that could be used to dispatch troops.

"You actually got your hands on it."

After the third prince returned to the court, he realized his weakness, compared to the connections that the prince had managed for many years, his foundation was too shallow. What he needs most is to strengthen himself, and the fastest way is to get soldiers and horses.

In addition to the soldiers and horses of Dayu, several generals are stationed on the border roads all the year round, and some of them are hoarded in Lingxi, Guangyuan, and Xiakou. These three places are each other's horns, so that the enemy does not dare to invade, and at the same time, the three cities restrain each other, and they cannot unite to rebel.

This is the most important place, so after Emperor Cheng ascended the throne, he sent a large number of soldiers and horses to be stationed in these three places. These three places are full of food and wages, and they are the most coveted places.

The third prince has long coveted this treasure land, but he has no choice but to get it.

These three soldiers and horses do not recognize the general, only the soldier talisman, so if you want to control these people, you must first obtain the talisman.

Xu Zi'an's task three years ago was to obtain these three talismans at any cost.

Now that three years have passed, Xu Zi'an has put the three talismans in front of the three princes, which can't help but impress.

"The three of them are brave but simple-minded, and they have a divisive plan that causes them to kill each other." After several years of experience, Xu Zi'an is no longer the same as a few years ago in doing things or speaking, and the whole person is completely calm, with a faint majesty.

The third prince looked at the talisman and laughed and said yes, with the talisman, things are different.

"Shicai's subordinates entered the door and saw the third prince frowning, but what was the difficulty?" Xu Zi'an asked.

The third prince was angry when he pushed this matter, he picked up a teacup and was about to smash it to the ground, but Xu Zi'an took it down first, and asked his subordinates to take it aside and put it away.

"I said that you are a good blue and white porcelain, and the kiln here can produce a few sets a year, but you are so violent." Xu Zi'an is a literati, with a bit of sour and rotten air on his body, and he especially likes literati things.

The third prince was embarrassed to continue to smash by what he said, and he was angry and said angrily, "Those stubborn old things in the court, I treat them politely, what kind of waste prince are they waiting for." A few days ago, I noticed that they had just loosened their tone, but they didn't notice it for a while, making the prince cry in the palace today, and pulling my father's mind back. ”

After listening to his words, Xu Zi'an's face did not change, he lowered his head and drank a cup of tea, and then smiled slowly, "What should I do, do you need to worry so much about such a trivial matter, Third Prince." ”

"This is not a trivial matter, I have fought with the prince several times over the years, and seeing that he is not far from being abolished, this will be a complication again, which really annoys me." The three princes were again on the top of the case.

"It's not difficult to get the Holy Order to abolish the crown prince." Xu Zi'an squinted his eyes and looked at the third prince and said.

"Oh?" The third prince raised his eyebrows and looked over, "Zi'an is a good solution, so let's talk about it." ”

"The saint is over 50 years old, and in recent years his health has not been as good as before. Now that the crown prince is in the prime of life, if the prince does not make an irreparable mistake, he will never be abolished. After all, the crown prince is the prince, the foundation of a country, and abolishing the prince at will is a matter that shakes the foundation of the country, although the saint is not confused at all, he has already figured out this matter. Xu Zi'an analyzed the current situation one by one, and the three princes on the opposite side listened to his words almost with a black face.

"According to your meaning, the prince will never be abolished, so won't my plans all these years be in vain?"

Xu Zi'an shook his head, "I mean that the prince will not be abolished if he doesn't make a big mistake, but if he is annoyed by an irreparable big mistake, then things will be different." ”

"The prince has always been a coward, how can he make any big mistakes." The third prince frowned, his expression was already displeased.

"If not, then make a mistake." Xu Zi'an's voice dimmed a few degrees.

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and then the look in his eyes changed, obviously he thought of something.

......

Bai Susu's car has arrived in the capital, she changed the carriage and walked into Beijing, and met an interrogation at the city gate, although she was not the person who arrested her, but she still quietly stuffed a piece of broken silver to the soldiers guarding the gate with the idea of not causing trouble, and she was soon released.

The once bustling capital is now deserted, and there are not many people walking on the streets, and there are no empty restaurants on both sides of the road. Bai Susu picked a restaurant and walked in, and Xiao Er sat at the door drowsy.

She called Xiao Er a few times before she reluctantly lifted her eyelids, and when she saw that the person who came was going to eat, her face was immediately full of smiles, and she hurriedly got up from the ground and welcomed her into the door.

Now that the capital is deserted, there are few people eating, and there are few guests in the restaurant a day.

Bai Susu's eating is one thing, but more because he wants to inquire about the current situation of the Lu family.

Xiao Er was very enthusiastic, and a few small dishes she ordered were quickly prepared and served, perhaps because the business was really bad, and the shopkeeper also gave her a pot of high-quality Biluochun.

Bai Susu poured herself a cup of tea, picked it up and smelled it, it was really fragrant, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and then asked, "By the way, little second brother, is there anything big in the capital today, why are there not many people on the street?" ”

"It's been more than a month, and there hasn't been anyone on the street. This is also tired, our restaurant business has shrunk by half at once, and there is not even a person at noon. Xiao Er said and looked around a few times, and then came to her side and whispered, "A few days ago, there was an accident in a big family in the capital and was arrested, I heard that a few people ran away, the whole city of the capital has been under martial law for several days, and there are officers and soldiers searching the streets all day long, making people dare not go out." ”

"Ah, there's such a thing." Bai Susu looked surprised, and continued to ask pretending not to know, "Do you know which family had an accident?" ”

Xiao Er stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the east of the city, "The Lu family in the east of the city." ”

"But the mansion of the famous Lord Lu? I heard that he was a good official, why did he suddenly have an accident? She said as she made a puzzled look.

"It's not his house." Xiao Er has been bored these days, and he can't stop talking as soon as he opens the chatterbox, and he has told everything in the capital in the past month.
