Chapter 17: Dark Fight 2
As soon as he had eaten, Cheng Wudao, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, left Shangshu Mansion and, accompanied by several guards, got up in a sedan chair and rushed to the palace. He wants to meet the 8 princes as soon as possible, and then join the 8 princes with the princes.
Cheng Wudao's palanquin stopped 20 meters away from the palace gate, which is the rule of the pastoral state, and any official must walk to enter the palace.
I saw Cheng Wudao stepping off the sedan chair, looking at the gate of the palace with a calm face, but he said uncalmly in his heart: "Prince, Leng Shuang'er, this time you must be ugly!" Thinking of this, Cheng Wudao put his hands in front of him, lowered his head, and walked towards the gate.
"Hello Master Cheng!" The guards guarding the palace gate obviously knew Cheng Wudao and greeted him.
Cheng Wudao nodded with a smile. Although the guards guarding the palace gate don't even have 4 grades in terms of official positions, after all, they are the guards of the palace, and he still has to give some face.
Cheng Wudao walked all the way, through the complicated palace road, and after 1 hour, he came to the outside of the 8th prince's mansion.
8 There were also two guards guarding outside the prince's mansion at this time, the two of them were wise and martial, and when they saw Cheng Wudao coming, they also said respectfully: "Hello Lord Cheng." ”
"As soon as the Lord of the Guards informed the 8th prince, he said that Cheng Wudao was looking for him!" Cheng Wudao is also respectful.
One of the guards nodded and said, "Master Cheng, wait a minute!" Then he ran towards the house. After a while, the guard ran out again and said, "Lord Cheng, His Royal Highness the 8th Prince asked you to go to his study!" ”
Cheng Wudao nodded, and went straight to the outside of the 8th prince's study. He is the person of the 8th prince, and he can be regarded as a confidant, the 8th prince here, he has come I don't know how many times, and he is very familiar with the courtyard in the 8th prince's mansion.
8 There were still two guards outside the prince's study, and one of the guards opened the door of the study and let Cheng Wudao in.
Cheng Wudao lowered his head and respectfully walked into the study of the 8th prince. Then, he raised his head, looked behind the desk in the study, and half-knelt down and said, "Cheng Wudao See His Royal Highness the 8th Prince." ”
I saw a young man in gorgeous clothes sitting upright behind a luxurious desk, holding a book in his hand, reading catchily. Behind the young man in Chinese costume is a bookshelf about 2 meters high, and all kinds of books are placed on the shelf. This young man is naturally none other than the second master among the princes, the eighth prince who has reached the realm of a 5-star martial artist. Although the 8th prince is only a 5-star martial artist, 1 realm smaller than the 5th prince, it is said that he is infinitely close to the realm of the martial king. Moreover, the talent of the 8 princes in martial arts is much higher than that of the 5 princes, and it is said that many powerful martial arts are practiced like fire, so if the two princes really fight, it is really difficult to say who wins and who loses. The martial arts of this world are not the same thing as the ordinary skills of the Makita world at all, and the requirements for cultivation are much lower than those of ordinary skills. The 5-star martial artists of this world are only equivalent to the Great Perfection of the Forging Body Realm of the Makita World, and the Great Perfection of the Forging Body Realm cannot cultivate ordinary skills. But for martial arts, as long as you are a 3-star martial artist or above, you can practice.
Seeing Cheng Wudao walk in, the 8th prince put down the book in his hand, slowly raised his head, looked at Cheng Wudao with a majestic face and said, "Lord Cheng, I told you a long time ago, don't come to me often if you have nothing to do." My father is most disgusted by the prince and the minister's clique, and if he knows that you often come to me, I'm afraid I won't have a good impression of either of us. ”
Cheng Wudao still half-knelt and said: "When my subordinates came to find His Royal Highness the 8th Prince, there is naturally an important matter. ”
"Okay, Master Cheng doesn't have to be polite, get up." Hearing Cheng Wudao say that there is something important to find him, the 8th prince smiled and said, "If there is anything important, Master Cheng will say it quickly, I will still cultivate later." You also know that in this world where martial arts are respected, the most important thing is cultivation, and everything else is floating clouds. ”
Cheng Wudao stood up, put his hands in front of him, lowered his head, and said extremely respectfully: "Back to His Royal Highness the 8th Prince, my second son Cheng Fei was abolished by others, and he is no longer a complete man!" ……”
Before Cheng Wudao's words were finished, the 8th prince angrily picked up the book and slammed it on the table, and said angrily: "Bold Cheng Wudao, your own family's affairs are also used to tease the prince and say what is important." 8 After the prince smashed the book on the table, he regretted it a little. He knows that sometimes he has to care more about the people who are attached to him, so that the other party can follow him with all his heart. Thinking of this, the 8th prince put away his angry expression and said, "Okay, even so, I also sympathize with your experience, but I want to know who has the courage to abolish the second prince of Shangshu Mansion." ”
Seeing that His Royal Highness the 8th Prince put away his anger, Cheng Wudao, who was originally a little nervous, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This is the point of what I want to say." It was none other than the 11th brother of His Royal Highness the 8th Prince, who is now His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
"What?" After hearing what Cheng Wudao said, the 8th prince not only did not feel any sadness, but his heart was full of surprise, and he stood up all of a sudden, and said, "Is this true? 8 The prince tried his best to hide his inner excitement, he didn't feel like leaving a bad impression on Cheng Wudao, an important henchman.
"Seriously!" Cheng Wudao said, "Please also ask His Royal Highness the 8th Prince to make the decision for me!" ”
"Why did the prince depose your son?" 8 The prince asked.
Then, Cheng Wudao told the 8 princes all about the 1510 incident.
After listening to Cheng Wudao's narration, the 8th prince couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time, and his mind was thinking about how to deal with this matter over and over again. He felt that if he handled it well, he would definitely make the crown prince greatly lose points in the impression of their father. You must know that although the former prince also bullied men and women, eating, drinking, and having fun, most of the men who bullied or the women who dominated were some low-status guys. And this time, the prince directly abolished the second son of Shangshu Mansion. Although it was Cheng Fei who wanted to occupy Leng Shuang'er in front, but in this world where strength is paramount, it is natural for the weak to bully the strong, so this cannot be used as a reason for Leng Shuang'er to bite Cheng Fei and the prince to abolish Cheng Fei. Although, just relying on this matter is far from being able to make their father abolish the crown prince, but the embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill, as long as the father and emperor realize that the prince has been deceitful and incompetent to this extent, even the children and grandchildren of important ministers of the court dare to say that it will be abolished, this is enough!
Seeing that the 8th prince was thinking about it repeatedly, Cheng Wudao said again: "Please also ask the 8th prince to make the decision for me." "Cheng Wudao didn't talk to the 8 princes about what good this matter would be for the 8 princes if it was handled well. Because he knows that with the shrewd mind of the 8th prince, he can naturally clearly analyze the pros and cons. And he only needs to say that it is enough to let the 8 princes administer justice for himself!
8The prince thought for a while and said, "Cheng Wudao, I know that you want me to go with you to my father to sue the prince." But I'll tell you, I can't do that right now. My father is delicate, and if I come forward, he will definitely think that I have selfish intentions and want to be emperor. Only if you go to my father to complain to the emperor is the best choice. It is your son who is deposed, and it is natural for you to go to complain, and it is also human nature, and your father will definitely not have any suspicions. ”
Hearing what the 8th prince said, Cheng Wudao hesitated for a moment, and was about to say something, but the 8th prince said again: "Don't worry, if you really get into trouble with my father, I will definitely help!" ”
Originally, the 8th prince asked Cheng Wudao to sue the prince alone, and he was a little worried and afraid. After all, it was the crown prince who wanted to sue, and if His Majesty the Emperor was angry, he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around. But when he heard the 8th prince say that he would help at a critical moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the minister will go." Cheng Wudao knew that the 8 princes also had their own eyeliner in the emperor's place, the purpose was to keep abreast of the emperor's movements and thoughts, and if he really encountered any trouble, the 8 princes' eyeliner would definitely notify the 8 princes.
