It is normal for his subordinates to have such thoughts, He Jiuniang understood his thoughts, but she had other arrangements, so she still said: "It is useful to keep him." ”

Now if the three princes are solved, won't the crown prince have one less opponent?

How can such an infighting in the Eastern Court be exciting?

The person under her command is still young, and she doesn't care about him, hehe.

"Yes."

The subordinates felt that what the lady said was right, so they naturally didn't say much, and stood aside to listen to He Jiuniang's arrangement.

He Jiuniang thought for a while and said: "When you go back, you will imitate the handwriting of the king to reject him, and tell him in the tone of the king that the king is now exposed, and he is being targeted by the court, and he is too busy to take care of himself, in order not to drag the third prince into the water, he can't help him for the time being, and then take the initiative to contact the third prince when his side is completely stabilized." ”

This is to hang the third prince, so that he feels that he will always have a hand, but in fact, his back hand is still ahead of him.

The main thing is a contrast, the pain of exhaustion.

"Hiss......"

He Jiuniang gasped, feeling a little ruthless.

But this is just a moment, after all, compared to the things that the third prince did before, his own methods are really insignificant.

His subordinates didn't quite understand, but they did it anyway.

The third prince originally thought that Xun Wang would agree, but he didn't expect the other party to refuse, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

If he hadn't helped him all these years, he wouldn't have been able to grow so steadily and so quickly.

Now that he is down, but he wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

Seeing that he was so angry, he happily told him what he had heard: "Master, it is very likely that the king is too busy to take care of himself, on the day the new emperor of Beiyan ascended the throne, Princess Xiteng was kidnapped, it seems that they did it, Princess Xiteng was rescued, and the defeat of the king was ugly, and this time was very low-key." ”

The third prince narrowed his eyes and asked, "Does He Jiuniang know that Xun Wang is her father?" ”

"It seems that she knows, but she doesn't plan to recognize her, and Princess Xiteng is the one she rescued."

This is not a secret, Princess Xiteng used to run to the Lu family every day under the banner of repaying her kindness.

"He Jiuniang is so ruthless, she deserves to be a father and daughter."

The third prince sneered, with a slight self-deprecation on his face.

He also wanted to use King Xun to contain He Jiuniang before, but he was too young at that time.

Xinran was silent beside her, if it weren't for the situation, the thing she investigated would be linked to He Jiuniang, she didn't want to hear the name He Jiuniang at all.

She still can't forget the beating she had when He Jiuniang beat her in Jingzhou, and the dark time she spent in prison for a long time afterward.

By now, she has believed in her fate, and if she wants to live, she won't go against He Jiuniang, there will be no good end.

"Since he can't protect himself now, then forget it, let's go back to Dongting first."

The third prince vaguely felt that there would be no good end for the king, after all, according to He Jiuniang's character, he didn't care about the relationship between father and daughter at the beginning, and he would never be soft after that.

If you want to protect yourself, it's better to keep your distance, at most, you can only take the king as your retreat, and let him pull when you are really cornered.

"Yes."

gladly replied and stepped back.

In the next few days, Lu Baichuan took leave and did not go to the court, and sent someone to send a batch of weapons to the barracks, but he never appeared.

There was a lot of discussion outside, saying that Lu Baichuan began to float, and he really thought that his position was high, and he could make everyone look down on him if he did a few things that were passable.

For a time, the court was full of excerpts to impeach Lu Baichuan.

The emperor has a headache, what's the matter with these courtiers, they stare at Lu Baichuan all day long, they are stricter than other people's parents, aren't they tired?

"Okay, General Lu has been busy for so long, it's time to rest, don't stare at him and find the wrong place! I allowed him to take leave, could it be that you want to disobey me? ”

The emperor's eyes were full of those new weapons, and it was too late to reward Lu Baichuan, so how could he be willing to blame?

Moreover, a few days ago, I took a leave of absence and brought back so many good things for him, what can I bring back from this leave?

He's already looking forward to it!

The courtiers below were very distressed when they saw him defending Lu Baichuan so unreasonably, and felt that the emperor trusted the Lu family too much.

Before he wanted to say anything more, the emperor had already said impatiently: "If you Aiqing are idle, you should worry more about how to strengthen the border defense after the opening of trade, and besides, the prince and the third prince of the Eastern Court are still in the national capital, pay more attention, don't let them make trouble, or, think about how to help the people generate income and help farmers increase income, which is more reliable than anything else." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch immediately shouted: "Retreat!" ”

The emperor couldn't wait for the eunuch to finish shouting, so he couldn't wait to leave, which made the courtiers very aggrieved.

In the end, everyone looked at each other, and could only sigh and shake their sleeves away.

What they didn't know was that in order to prevent the people of the Eastern Court from knowing the news that the people seeking the king had come to the national capital, Lu Baichuan took people to ambush outside the city in advance, and prepared to deal with it outside the city and then bring it back secretly, so as not to alarm the people of the Eastern Court and make them afraid and delay the original plan.

He Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan were ready to fight for a second child, so they naturally didn't want to let them delay time like this, and would rather bear the infamy than run an errand in the name of leave.

"General, they've arrived."

The location given in the letter of "Looking for the King" is a Zhuangzi outside the national capital, this Zhuangzi was just bought, and it is currently under the name of He Jiuniang, but it is hidden deeply, and it cannot be found without careful investigation.

What's more, Chang Tianhao and the others trust King Xun very much, so naturally they will not go out of their way to check this information, so they are naturally defenseless.

On the other side, Chang Tianhao and his two half-brothers came to the door of Zhuangzi with a group of stewards, looking quite magnificent, very satisfied, and felt that his father must have mixed well in the national capital, so that he could meet such a big Zhuangzi outside the city.

The guard at the door changed his face, it was the familiar face of Chang Tianhao and others, he came forward to salute when he saw them coming, and diligently helped lead the horse to rest, and said very intimately: "Young master, two young and three young, my lord, the lord has been waiting for you for many days, and it can be regarded as looking forward to you!" ”

Chang Tianhao was very happy, and he would feel that his father must be worried about his safety.

"You have worked hard to serve the lord, and I will reward you with money!"

As he spoke, he took out the money bag from his waist and heroically threw it to the guards, asking them to buy wine and drink.

"Thank you, young master!"

The guard was very happy, and kissed him fiercely with the money bag, seeing Chang Tianhao's eyes become more and more friendly.

This man has money, so he must scavenge it more in a while!

The other two young masters saw that he was only flattering Chang Tianhao, and they were instantly unhappy, glaring at him, but did not speak.
