Chapter Eighty-Eight: That Little Thing About the Royal

As the saying goes, how can there be an impermeable wall in this world? The news that the prince was going to resign soon spread to the harem. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In response to the news, the prince showed an unusually silence. This silence directly caused the hearts of the other princes to warm up.

Through various channels, a lot of news came out of the palace, and a lot of news came out of the palace. For a while, there were disturbances, undercurrents surging, and the atmosphere was extremely tense and weird.

Especially those officials who originally supported the crown prince were even more anxious like a group of ants on a hot pot, completely messed up.

Some officials went to each other to discuss countermeasures, some curry favor with both sides, and some are undecided, not knowing which one to turn to.

Some of the prince's diehards even ran to the door of the post house to cry and petition, trying to persuade the prince to change his mind. The prince told the staff of the inn to close the door, and no visitors, regardless of their status, disappeared.

No, General Zhenguo also quietly ran to the prime minister with a few cronies, and this is already the sixth group of people to go to the prime minister's mansion.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the two sat down as guests, and the child servant offered fragrant tea.

The prime minister asked, "Why did the general come late at night?"

The general said: "Why should the prime minister ask knowingly? My nephew is smart, benevolent, studious, and motivated, and he is the best choice to be the crown prince." I'm here tonight to discuss this matter with the Prime Minister. ”

The prime minister sneered: "The fourth elder brother's milk has not dried up, and the fetal hair has not faded yet, do you also want to fight for the position of the lord of the country?"

The general said: "It's not small, and I got married at the beginning of the year." ”

The prime minister said: "It's only eight years old, why is it still too old to get married, so I heard that the household department is preparing to issue a document to investigate this matter." ”

The general said: "Isn't this nonsense! When did the household department take care of the royal affairs!"

The prime minister said: "Hehe, although he is also a prince, but after all, he is young, and basically no one is optimistic about him." ”

The general said: "Actually, what the current prince said is quite good." Now His Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and his reign is at least ten years, and at most twenty or thirty years. At that time, the fourth prince is in the prime of life, and who says that he will not have a chance to succeed to the throne? Now that the prince is determined to become a monk and go west, what will you do if he really leaves? As far as I know, the eldest prince has a deep contradiction with the camp of the second and third princes for the sake of the prince. In the future, once the second prince or the third prince becomes king, what will you do? If someone wants to take refuge in the second prince, the third prince is not too difficult, but if you want to take refuge, it will be even more difficult. Prime Minister, it's time for you to think about your future. ”

The general's words just touched the prime minister's sore spot, and he pondered for a while: "What does the general mean is that I want to support the fourth prince?"

The general said: "I know that you are the prince's master, and I can't bear to abandon him." That's why I'd like to make a vow to you. ”

The prime minister said, "What oath?"

The general said: "If the prince is really a monk, please also support His Royal Highness the fourth prince, how about it? At that time, the four princes may have a bigger chance of winning. ”

The prime minister said: "If the fourth prince wants to win the position of prince, I see it is difficult, difficult, difficult. Some of the prince's camp are die-hard loyalists, even if the prince is really a monk, they are counting on the prince to return to the world. There are many people who are more optimistic about the second prince and the third prince, and there are not many people who are really optimistic about the fourth prince with a long-term vision, after all, the fourth prince is too young. ”

The general said: "Your Majesty wants to abdicate, and that will be ten or twenty years later." Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? But the matter of establishing the crown prince is close at hand. Please make a decision as soon as possible, the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be to you. ”

The prime minister said: "The matter is very high, and it is difficult for me to make a decision, please allow me to think about it again." Well, how about I give you an answer tomorrow?"

The general knew that his nephew was the weakest, and to get the prime minister's reply today could be regarded as achieving the expected goal. Only then did he say goodbye to the prime minister and go to the next one.

In the post house, Xuanzang and several people were also secretly discussing.

Bajie said: "Now the atmosphere is really lively, and it's time to shoot a "Legend of the Black Chicken". ”

Wukong said: "The so-called fishing in troubled waters, fishing in troubled waters, if you don't muddy the water in this pool, how can you catch fish? This is exactly what I want to achieve: first, now the people's hearts are panicking, and they have successfully diverted the attention of the civil and military officials; second, isn't that monster good at winning people's hearts, and now these ministers are choosing their own camps for their own future, and the contradictions are becoming more and more intense, I see how he can still win people's hearts! Third, if he makes a mistake in his busyness, we can find an opportunity to beat him back to his original form. ”

Bajie said: "Brother Monkey, you are really calculating." ”

Wukong said: "Well, this monster is also quite calm, I think this last point is difficult to do." ”

Xuanzang said: "Don't worry, don't worry, now the incident of competing for the crown prince continues to ferment, and the situation is becoming more and more favorable to us." We just have to wait and see what happens. ”

Wukong said: "Not bad. As long as we don't take the lead in using force, then we are not plotting to usurp the throne, and the monsters have no reason to use state force against us. In the same way, the monster didn't dare to use the magic power, and once it was used, it would naturally be completely revealed. Since ancient times, it is normal for all dynasties and generations to compete for the position of prince, and it is impossible for the monster to tear his face and arrest the ministers at will because of this kind of thing. If he was smart, he could only watch these civil and military officials continue to make trouble. ”

Bajie said: "Since neither side dares to move, when will it be a stalemate?"

Wukong said: "Then it depends on whose patience it is." ”

Bajie said: "What if the patience of both parties is very good?"

Wukong said: "I can't make a plan, there is another plan, in short, I have to earn that monster into the trap." ”

Bajie said: "This monkey is becoming more and more insidious, who will dare to play happily with you in the future!"

Xuanzang said: "Bajie, you are talking nonsense again." Wukong is dealing with monsters, not against you, what are you afraid of?"

Bajie said: "That's not easy to say! This monkey is in the early stage of schizophrenia, and if he can't keep it, he will lose his heart one day." ”

Xuanzang shouted directly: "Sleep!"

And they obeyed, and went back to sleep.

The next day, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs went to the court to discuss matters, but Xuanzang and they did not receive the decree, so they did not come.

Above the court, hundreds of officials gathered.

Today's atmosphere is completely different from yesterday's, and the number of ministers who support the prince's resignation and ordination has increased significantly.

The monster said: "The prince wants to leave home and go to the west to learn scriptures, which is a good thing. But the Buddha didn't say that he wanted everyone to become monks. If everyone goes to become a monk, who will pass on the lineage and reproduce future generations? I see, this prince should not go. ”

A minister said: "Your Majesty, the problem now is that this is the prince's voluntary departure." ”

The monster said, "I am the king and his father." If he doesn't listen to me, that's disloyalty and unfilial piety!"

The minister replied: "The prince's journey to the west to learn from the scriptures is beneficial to the entire Wuji country, and Your Majesty, you can also increase your happiness and longevity." I don't think His Majesty should stop him, but support him. ”

This remark was immediately echoed by some ministers. While praising the crown prince, these ministers also advertised for the prince they supported, you said you were right, I said my good, and the whole court became lively again.

The monster's teeth itched with hatred in his heart, but he couldn't do it, because he wanted to pretend to be a Dao Mingjun.

If Wukong and they are singing the drama of plotting to usurp the throne, the monsters will also have the means to deal with it, but Wukong and they are now singing a drama of competing for the prince between princes, and the monsters will have a headache.

In the end, he simply stopped talking, and watched a group of ministers arguing and arguing, and the argument passed, and it was inseparable.

The ministers argued for a day, but still did not come up with a result, and finally came to an end.

Inside the inn. Xuanzang said: "It's been another day of quarrel." ”

Wukong said: "This monster is indeed not simple, the ministers make such trouble, he is calm." In that case, let's move on to the next plan. ”

Xuanzang said: "How to proceed?"

Wukong said: "I have to do one thing first tonight, and this time I need to take action from Bajie." ”

Bajie said: "I'll just say it, Brother Monkey will definitely calculate it on my head." ”

Wukong said: "Actually, this matter is just a trivial matter for you, and it is not difficult for you." ”

Bajie said: "You say it first, come and listen, if you don't say it, I will resolutely not agree." ”

Wukong said, "Let's save the king now." ”

Bajie said: "How to save it?"

Wukong said: "Then you have to fish the king out of the well first, as for how to save it, that is Lao Sun's means." ”

Bajie said: "Do you want me to fish?"

Wukong said: "Nonsense! Who told you that you are a top student of Tianhe Water Conservancy College, who will go if you don't go?"

Bajie shouted loudly: "Excuse! Excuse! I think back then, you could fish up more than 10,000 catties of sticks from the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, but now you say that you can't scoop up a dead corpse weighing more than 100 catties! Who are you fooling!"

Goku asked, "Really not going?"

Bajie shook his head and didn't do anything: "Don't go! Even if you wear out your mouth, I won't go!"

At this moment, the prince fell to his knees with a puff and said, "Elder Pig, although my Wuji Country is a small country, there are still some gold, silver and jewelry. If you can save my father this time, this prince is willing to give ten thousand taels of gold to thank the elders. If you want any treasure, I'll give my life to find it for you!"

Bajie was immediately moved!

But he also knew that this scripture-learning team was not something he could say, so he said: "I can't be the master for such a big thing, so I have to ask Master." ”

Xuanzang said: "Our Buddhism pays the most attention to the word 'casual'. Since the prince voluntarily subsidized it, if he didn't accept it, it would be hypocritical. However, 10,000 taels of gold is too much, and it will increase the transportation burden of our team, so I think it's only 100 taels. ”

Bajie hurriedly said: "No more, no less, Master, I can carry it!"

Xuanzang shouted: "Bajie, you are so dissatisfied! Wukong gave you a merit out of thin air, not only did you not appreciate it, but you also had to quarrel with him! Do you really think he can't afford it?"

was counted by Xuanzang for a while, and Bajie had nothing to say, so he had to follow Wukong to catch the king.
