362. Chapter 362: The Struggle Between the Three Brothers
"Hua Jiangyue is defeated, I'm afraid it won't take a few days for the news of his death to be transmitted back to the capital. The prince's great cause can be accomplished. If the prince is relieved, he may wish to consider forcing the palace. This person really doesn't seem to care about anything, even when it comes to rebellious remarks such as forcing the palace, he doesn't seem to care.
Although the prince was pleased, after all, it was limited by his identity, and he always looked extremely melancholy, and said to the man, "Forcing the palace or something, you don't need to think about it, this palace has its own plans." You just have to do your thing. ”
The man seemed to be backwater, unable to make the slightest wave, but said coldly: "The matter is already over, what about our promises?"
This time it was the prince's turn to look indifferent, and he said coldly, "If the matter is not to the end, it won't be counted, you better wait." ”
"You!" the man seemed a little angry, but he could not continue what he wanted to say, so he had to walk away.
The next day, in the palace, the four princes were still as in recent days, did not enter the palace to participate in the court meeting, but the prince walked into the hall with a proud face, showing a very different attitude from the previous lukewarm, listening to the courtiers' recitals and opinions very carefully in the court, looking hard, looking suspicious.
The third prince sat opposite the prince, looking at the prince with this appearance, he was a little uncomfortable, so he simply didn't look at each other, but unexpectedly, the prince took the initiative to find the third prince, and his face was still full of smiles, as if he had something to ask for help from the third prince.
In fact, since the third prince induced the emperor to go to the Terracotta Division last time, he and the crown prince's Liangzi have been concluded, and at this moment, the other party's demeanor, how can the three princes not be suspicious.
The crown prince also seemed to understand the doubts of the third prince, so he didn't procrastinate, and quickly said: "Third brother, you and the fourth brother have been very busy recently, and you shouldn't be surprised that your brother can't help share your worries." Recently, I have won a few beautiful women and many jars of good wine for my brother, if there is nothing to do tonight, you might as well invite the fourth child to come to my brother's house, let's talk all night long, and resolve each other's misunderstandings, how about it?"
On weekdays, the crown prince has always been the title of the palace and the prince, but now he has suddenly changed to brother and me, this kind of title, the third prince has always been a little uncomfortable with listening, but the other party himself called it so, and he can't correct it.
As for what medicine is sold in the prince's gourd, the third prince is really unsure for a while, so it is not easy to express his position, after all, in front of the part of the ministers who have not yet left, it is not a good thing to publicly not give face to the future prince, so the third prince had to think of a compromise method.
The third prince tidied up his clothes, bowed to the prince with a solemn expression, and then spoke: "The courtier's behavior has always been absurd, and he offended the imperial brother before, but fortunately, the imperial brother was magnanimous and did not care about the courtier. Now that he has been warmly invited, the younger brother was originally cowardly, but the fourth brother seems to be very busy, whether he can go or not, I'm afraid it's really hard to say. Otherwise, the royal brother will let the younger brother go to see if it is convenient for the fourth brother?"
Seeing that the third prince played Tai Chi, the prince also knew that it was useless to talk more, so he had to still say to the third prince with a smile: "Since this is the case, it will be troublesome for the third brother to go through." ”
It seemed that he was afraid of losing face, so after the prince finished speaking, he walked out of the hall quickly without waiting for the third prince to say anything. Looking at the back of the crown prince, the third prince looked unimpressed, as if the prince was not worth mentioning like a child in his eyes.
King Yu, who has been watching for a long time, was also a free and easy master when he was young, so even if he gets older, he often does not sell other people's face, and his words are even more scathing. Just now, he had been watching the prince's words, deeds and reactions from the side, and he was already curious, but now that the prince was gone, he couldn't help muttering: "What gust of wind did this kid smoke, why did he suddenly seem to be a different person?"
King Yu and the third prince sat next to each other, and she naturally heard King Yu's words clearly, so she smiled at King Yu and said in King Yu's ear: "The nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, and our Royal Highness the Prince, it is impossible to change people in this life." Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. You'll have to watch the rest of the story. ”
King Yu's expression changed slightly, but due to years of political struggle, his psychological qualities had already been honed extraordinary, so King Yu quickly recovered his state and said to the three princes: "Be cautious in everything you say and do, your road is still long, but it is not as good as the old man and me." ”
King Yu's character, the three princes are well aware, so they didn't wonder King Yu's words, just smiled at King Yu, and then left slowly.
King Yu looked at the three princes who left, shook his head, and said to himself: "It's really good to be young, but it's a pity that you were born in the royal family, and you have to pretend to be old when you're young." Hey!"
Who King Yu said was talking about, I'm afraid even he didn't know. However, although the third prince didn't hear this sentence, he thought that he also had the same helplessness in his heart as King Yu.
Today seems to be really special, even if it is the fourth prince, it is rare to be lazy, he didn't go to the court to discuss it, and he didn't go to the Editorial Institute today, the third prince arrived in a hurry, but he pounced, which made the third prince a little surprised.
In desperation, he had to go to the prince's mansion to find the fourth prince. But what he didn't expect was that the four princes actually looked like they were wandering, teasing fish and insects around the mansion, and they didn't care about the court situation at all. This made the third prince somewhat puzzled, but he knew the heart of the fourth prince, but he was never able to speak, after all, it was in vain to ask, it was better to wait and see the changes.
Seeing that it was the third prince, the fourth prince was not polite, he pulled the third prince, handed him a straw stick, and asked him to tease the goldfish together.
After a long time, the fourth prince asked, "Why did the third brother remember me here today?
The fourth prince asked concisely, without the slightest twist, and when he looked at the third prince, there was a little cunning in his eyes, which made the third prince a little confused, and he could only tell the truth.
The third prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Today in the court, the prince asked you and me to go to his mansion for a banquet, and I said that I don't know if you have the kung fu to prevaricate, don't you hurry up and come over to give you a breath!"
The fourth prince trumpeted the fish next to him again, glanced at the sky, and then said lazily, "What is there to ventilate here, since everyone has made an appointment, let's not go, wouldn't it be a bit shameless." ”
Hearing the words of the fourth prince, the third prince was a little surprised, for him, the fourth prince has always been a person who likes and hates, according to his temper, he can't say such things. The fourth prince has always had an attitude towards the prince, even if he is present today, he is afraid that he will not sell face to the prince and promise to go to the appointment, but now, he is actually in a state of not resisting, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, the third prince is really not sure.
The fourth prince looked at the third prince who was stunned, patted him on the shoulder, smiled harmlessly, and waited for the other party to seem to recover some thoughts before he spoke: "What's wrong?
The third prince looked at the fourth prince who had already walked away, and asked loudly, "Why are you going?"
The fourth prince seemed to have expected the third prince to ask this question, so he laughed loudly: "Change clothes, go to the prince's mansion later." ”
The third prince saw that the fourth prince seemed to be really serious this time, so he quickly caught up, and asked as he walked: "What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? What is the place of the prince's mansion, you won't be unclear in your heart, right?"
Before the third prince finished speaking, the fourth prince stopped and stared at the third prince and asked, "Can you not go to the street to buy things because you are afraid of being deceived?" Or can you not eat meat because you are afraid of blood?"
The words of the fourth prince were very meaningful, but the third prince still felt that something was wrong, so he said: "But the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, you should also understand this truth, why are you suffering?"
Looking at the nervous appearance of the third prince, the fourth prince smiled and grabbed the third prince, and said as he walked: "You go in with me, let's go in and talk slowly." ”
Although the third prince didn't want to toss, for the fourth prince who was struggling to toss, the best way to stop him was to accompany him. Therefore, the third prince had no choice but to follow the fourth prince into the house.
When the third prince came out again, the solemn and nervous look on his face was gone, replaced by a light and indifferent look of humiliation, no one knew what means the four princes used to the three princes, and it was the three princes who were finally convinced, and the three princes, who were originally very resistant, actually changed their attitudes greatly, and finally decided to go with the four princes, and also instructed the little guy waiting outside to choose a gift, which also looked quite positive.
The four princes seemed to be very satisfied with the changes of the three princes, and always had an unfathomable smile on their faces, watching the changes and behaviors of the three princes, and then sat quietly and poured themselves tea, waiting for the return of the three princes' servants.
The third prince watched the fourth prince return to silence again, and was a little puzzled, so he asked, "You don't prepare a gift?"
"When have you ever seen the habit of giving gifts?" the fourth prince asked rhetorically, with a look of ignorance.
The third prince was a little surprised, he didn't understand, why the fourth prince who took the initiative to go to the prince's mansion wanted to go, but refused to prepare gifts, although this was indeed not in line with his behavior trajectory, but since there had been a change, why not do it thoroughly?
With doubts, the third prince asked again, but the answer he got was only one sentence. "My presence is the best gift. ”
Of course, this is not the fourth prince's trust, as the most unsociable of the princes, the fourth prince has always wandered outside the social circle of the prince and the powerful, every year except for important days such as Chinese New Year's Eve, he rarely gets together with everyone, and rarely goes to a certain banquet, so he can go to the prince's banquet, which is almost the greatest respect and gift. Based on this idea, he naturally felt that there was no need to prepare gifts.
