Chapter Seventy-Three: The Prince's Reflections

In addition to the crown prince, and the two parties above, the remaining relatives have already lowered their heads and can't wait to find a gap to get into.

After all, where can they hear about this kind of royal secret, and now they only hope that others can ignore them, otherwise they are afraid that they will not have good fruit to eat when they go back.

As for Li Hao, his focus was different, he was carefully looking around, because there was obviously no one missing, and Ling Budo was not here.

After all, if only Xiao Yuehou and the Three Princes discussed, they couldn't say anything, you must know that Xiao Yuehou has to go to the Three Princes' Mansion eight times a day, why do you need to make a special trip here.

Li Hao immediately thought of Ling Budo's stunt, and couldn't help but look at the window. And Li Hao's performance was also seen by the third prince, and he realized that Li Hao might have discovered something.

Considering that what they said had now been heard by the crown prince, in this case, the third prince really didn't want to involve Ling Budo as well.

But thinking that it was a coincidence that the prince came today, he tried again: "It seems that the imperial brother is not as pedantic as I thought, and not many people know about the secret discussion between me and the Marquis of Xiao Yue, so it can be seen that the prince's ears and eyes are very smart." When the prince heard this, he didn't answer, but just asked: "Lone knows that he is the prince, and there is indeed something missing, so the courtiers have never cared about impeaching Lone in the past." But you are Lone's own brother, if you think that Lone is acting wrong, has failed the trust of his father and the emperor, and has failed the people of the world, you can come to me in person. Even if you say to your face that Lone's qualifications are mediocre and unworthy of the position of the prince, let Lone give up the position of the crown prince to you, Lone is not impossible to let it. But you shouldn't have conspired with others to deal with Lonely, if you do this, where will you and me have more than 20 years of brotherhood. When the words fell, the prince's eyes were already full of tears, obviously this time he was really sad.

On the other hand, on the third prince's side, although he was also a little touched in his heart, he quickly calmed down again. Only Pingtang replied: "The position of the crown prince is related to the safety of the world, and I never had this idea before, but I just watched the imperial brother sit back and watch the princess and the ministers of the East Palace behave misbehaps. Now this is only the East Palace, if the imperial brother ascends the throne in the future, wouldn't it be a disaster for the people to control the world, for the sake of the people of the world, I can't ignore it. The conversation between the two attracted Li Hao's attention, but after listening, Li Hao only felt funny in his heart, one person talked about brotherhood, and one person talked about the family and the country, which can be said to go together.

In fact, speaking of which, the third prince may indeed be able to be a Ming monarch when he ascends the throne, but sometimes this kind of Ming Jun is not what the courtiers want to serve, at least not what Li Hao wants.

The words were not speculative, the prince did not answer in the face of the words of the third prince, he just looked at the third prince quietly, and after a while, he turned around and left directly.

At this time, Li Hao naturally could only leave with the prince, but at this time, Li Hao was wondering whether to open the window to see if Ling Budo was outside.

But then Li Hao gave up, after all, when this window is opened, you can only see one side, as long as Ling Budo goes around to the side, you can't see anyone when it is opened.

And Li Hao also wanted to kick Wang Chunlou's Taifu out of the East Palace with Ling Budo's hand, after all, there were some things that he couldn't say, and Ling Budo didn't have any scruples about doing it.

After leaving the wild goose and returning to the tower, the prince specially issued a gag order: "What you see and hear in the tower today, not a word can be circulated to the outside world, otherwise you will not be spared, you can write it down." After hearing this, everyone naturally responded in unison, and no one dared to touch the prince's tiger whiskers at this time.

Then the prince naturally had no interest in looking for Yuan Shen again, so he returned directly to the Tu Gaoshan camp.

As for the third prince's side, after the prince left, Ling Budo turned in through the window. After the three of them gathered again, Xiao Yuehou asked with some concern: "You said that after the prince goes back, will you tell Your Majesty about this matter directly?" Shall we return to the camp now, lest he slander us before His Majesty? But who knew that Ling Budo said after hearing this: "Xiao Yuehou is too worried, the prince is a benevolent gentleman, how can he do such villain behavior, Xiao Yuehou should not be good for himself." As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yuehou was immediately angry, what does it mean to treat others with himself, is this saying that he is a villain, and he immediately wants to argue.

Seeing this, the third prince said, "Okay, you guys have said enough, then let me say a few words." Xiao Yuehou was choked by what he was just going to say, what does it mean to say enough, he has just been scolded, and he still doesn't let himself talk back.

However, although he was angry in his heart, looking at his nephew's unsmiling face, he really didn't dare to disobey, so he could only endure it stupidly.

"Today's matter, the imperial brother should not take the initiative to tell his father, but there are outsiders present today after all, especially that Yuan Ziyang, what kind of attitude he will have towards this matter, it is still unknown, and we also need to prepare in advance. In addition, the things we are talking about here today also need to be thoroughly investigated to see where the loopholes are. However, I look at the performance of the imperial brother just now, he shouldn't have known that Zicheng is also here today, otherwise he will definitely mention Zicheng, which the imperial brother can't pretend. This is a very important clue, which proves that the person who sent the news only knew that Xiao Yuehou and I would be here today, or knew that someone else was coming, but he didn't know who it was. After hearing this, Xiao Yuehou nodded again and again, and said: "Okay, leave this matter to me to investigate thoroughly, I want to see who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to betray us." Seeing that Xiao Yue Hou agreed, the third prince didn't say anything more, after all, Xiao Yue Hou still has the ability to do this thing.

On Ling Budo's side, the third prince specially told him to continue to keep some distance from him in the future, so as not to be affected by this matter, Ling Budo was noncommittal after hearing this.

Then Xiao Yuehou and the third prince went down to the tower first, and after making sure that there was no one around, the two quietly gave a signal to Ling Budo on the tower.

After that, Ling Budo quietly walked out of the tower, and then quickly left, until the wild goose returned to the tower and finally quieted down.

But the silence here does not mean that this matter is really over, but only a brief calm before a big storm.

After returning to the camp, the prince dismissed the rest of his relatives, leaving Li Hao alone to return to his camp, and then drove out the rest of the camp as well, and strictly ordered those who were guarding outside not to let anyone in in without an order.

Seeing the prince's cautious appearance, Li Hao could only sit upright, waiting for the prince to speak with a serious face, but only heard the prince say: "Ziyang, do you say that my prince is really incompetent, I have often made mistakes and omissions in doing things over the years, and I have often been scolded by my father." Of course, I also know that my father's scolding is right, but I am wronged in my heart, I also want to learn from my father's wise martial arts, but I am really mediocre in qualifications, I really can't do it. "The matter involves the prince and Emperor Wen, Li Hao can't answer what he said, so he just pretended to be dumb.

That is to say, it is the benevolent prince who wants to change to which one is black-bellied, and after listening to so many words in his heart, I am afraid that he will not live long in the future.

However, the prince just wanted to find someone to confide in his emotions, so Li Hao didn't care if he didn't speak, as long as he did his duty as a listener.

Later, the prince told Li Hao that he was full of grievances, and Li Hao was a little drowsy when he listened, but in the end, he was awakened by the prince's words.

"Actually, what the third brother said also has some truth, maybe he became the crown prince, which is a good thing for his father and the people." Really, after hearing this, Li Hao was not only awakened, but also speechless in his heart.

What the hell did this guy think, he was bullied to the door, and he was still thinking about backing down, but he really didn't have a temper at all.

also sighed and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is originally a private royal matter, and I shouldn't have intervened, but now that I am an official in the East Palace, I dare to admonish it." His Royal Highness is familiar with history books, and should know what happened to the crown prince who has been abolished since ancient times. And even if His Royal Highness doesn't think about himself, what about the queen's mother. If His Royal Highness is deposed, then the successor to the throne must be the three princes, and then the queen mother can still sit in the Changqiu Palace? Maybe His Majesty and Concubine Yue will defend it in the past, but what about the rest of the Yue clan, as well as those courtiers who want to curry favor with the new prince, will they let the queen mother go? Li Hao's words immediately broke the prince's illusion and made him understand more deeply that he definitely represented more than just himself.

After being silent for a long time, Li Hao said goodbye, leaving time for the prince himself and letting him think slowly.

However, before leaving, Li Hao deliberately said: "Your Highness, those relatives who came back just now, why don't you send them directly to serve under me, I am worried that other people are not strictly controlled, and if they leak any rumors, they will cause trouble out of thin air." But this matter was rejected by the prince: "No need, after all, they are under Sun Sheng, and it is not good to rely on air conditioning, and Lone will tell Sun Sheng that he will keep an eye on these people, and he will not let them leak the news." "But the problem is that Li Hao is worried about Sun Sheng, this guy's brain is so bad that he can even lose the tiger talisman, expecting him to keep it a secret, Li Hao has no confidence.

It's just that Li Hao didn't persuade him again, anyway, he can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, and it just so happens that after this matter spreads, he can completely find out the true attitude of Emperor Wen.

If he doesn't punish the three princes in this way, then Emperor Wen's mind will have to think about it.

Leaving the prince, Li Hao turned around and went to the Cheng family's camp, intending to see if Yuan Shen had returned.

After all, these two have been out for a long time, so don't really have any accidents at that time.

As a result, before he could get to the place, Li Hao saw Ling Budo, and when his heart moved, he took the initiative to step forward and ask, "Zicheng, have you seen my brother?" When Ling Budo saw Li Hao again, his face changed slightly, but it quickly changed back.

Pretending to be normal, he replied, "Oh, I don't have a good opinion, do you have anything to do with him?" Li Hao explained: "It's nothing, it's just that I saw him out of the camp earlier, and just now I chased him along the road to take a look, and I didn't see his figure." It's been quite a while now, so I'm wondering if he's coming back from a detour, and he's going to go to my tent to see it. I happened to meet you, so I thought about asking if you had ever met him. ”

"Yes, in fact, you don't have to worry too much, Tu Gaoshan's side has been cleaned up earlier, there are no beasts on the mountain, and there are tiger ben and feather forest guards around, it is very safe. But for peace of mind, it's better to go to the tent and have a look, and I'll go with you. Ling Budo heard Li Hao say that when he just went out to find someone, a trace of doubt passed through his heart.

How could someone pull the prince up, and just so coincidentally went up to the Yanhui Tower, and heard the conversation of himself and others, this doesn't sound like it's true.

But why did Li Hao make up such a crude lie, and he said it to himself, could it be that he suspected that he was also on the tower at the time, and deliberately tried it.

With this full of incomprehension, Ling Budo followed Li Hao through the camp, testing Li Hao's true intentions with words as he walked.

Li Hao accompanied Ling Budo around, anyway, the name he had made before was indeed to find someone, and he was not afraid of Ling Budo to investigate, as long as he deliberately hid the matter of the wild goose returning to the tower.

But as soon as the two of them passed through the main camp, they saw that the people of the Cheng family, the Wan family and the Wang family were all kneeling here, and Cheng Song was lying on his stomach directly.

It seems that Wang Ji shot ten thousand wives with an arrow, but this time there was no Ling Budo's cp to let Emperor Wen knock, but I am afraid that these three families will have to suffer a little.

Therefore, when Li Hao guessed the whole story, he still asked Ling Bu: "Did something happen here just now, why are the people of the three families kneeling here, and it looks like one of them is injured." "Although Ling Budo has just come back, this guy is in charge of leading the guards in the camp, and he is very well-informed, and he has already heard the report of what happened here.

So in the face of Li Hao's question, he directly explained the cause and effect of the matter, and said it as if he was there.

"Then how will Your Majesty deal with this matter, the Cheng family and the Wan family will not be punished for this." Li Hao asked.

Ling Budo replied: "Don't worry, I'll go in to find out the situation later, I believe that His Majesty's leniency will not take this matter to heart," With Ling Budo's assurance, Li Hao can be more or less relieved, after all, his words are still very effective in Emperor Wen.

Then the two went to the camp first, and then they really saw Yuan Shen, but at this time he didn't look very good.

Because it can be clearly seen that his left arm is drooping, it looks like it should be dislocated. But other than that, it seems that other aspects are still making good progress, at least Cheng Shaoshang is doing the work of serving tea and pouring water next to him.

Li Hao stepped forward to check Yuan Shen's arm first, and it was indeed only dislocated, and there were no other injuries, so he was really down-to-earth in his heart.

Then he asked how the injury came about, how he got injured after going out in a good way, and who was the bad luck of these two people.
