The prince glanced at Lan Yuan rather irritably: "Waiter, why is this?" ”

Lan Yuan admonished bitterly: "Cui Yi committed a crime that has nothing to do with rebellion, and the news was obtained through eyeliner spying, which is not the right way. If this letter is handed over to the emperor, it will only add to his doubts. Moreover, His Majesty is silent now, clearly intending to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and he must not be forced to come out and express his position and involve His Majesty in this battle. Presented, except for a slight disturbance of the court, there is no harm but no benefit. ”

The prince saw that he was sincere in his words and had no dissent, so he returned to his calm state: "It is this king who is anxious for quick success, but fortunately, Lan Shi read good words and reminded him." ”

Lan Yuan took a step closer and knelt down and kowtowed: "Then ask the prince to burn this letter." ”

"Well, how?" The prince grabbed the letter on the table and hesitated slightly, "How good it would be to keep it." When the time comes, it may have a big effect. ”

Lan Yuan hurriedly shook his head: "Your Highness, the longer this letter is kept, the more unsettling it will become. If the Ye Dang learns by chance, they will definitely take advantage of the topic and falsely accuse you of using spies to spy on the government and the opposition, and put on a charge of plotting to usurp the rebellion. The pros and cons are self-explanatory, why are you still obsessed? ”

The prince smiled: "You are too worried. This king kept this letter secret in the East Palace, who leaked it, and who passed it out? ”

"Yes...... Your Highness! Lan Yuan pressed the handle of the circle chair and persuaded him again.

"Don't say anything," the prince waved his sleeves at him, motioning him to stand back, "I obey you as usual, can't this king make his own decisions?" Thou art prudent by nature, so let you keep this letter. ”

Lan Yuan then nodded silently and unwillingly.

"Get out of the way, I want to see Chen Shangshu!" Guo Xiang people held a book of music and shouted outside the door of the middle hall.

Chen Tongpao was reading a copy of "The Book of Rites" at hand, and when he heard a sound outside, he got up unhurriedly to look at it, and the people who passed through Hunan had already broken in front of him.

"Lord Chen, the big thing is not good, Ye Thief took a few henchmen to jointly go to the court, asking for the promotion of Lu Tingci to the imperial doctor, and he had already submitted it to the emperor by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Today, Shen Chu's father-in-law Shen came out with Zhu Pi and said, 'Submit it to the Imperial History Desk again'. I knew that I couldn't delay, and I ran all the way from Dali Temple to here......" Guoxiang people didn't even breathe, and finished this passage word for word.

Chen Tongpao still looked calm, pulled his arm, and brought him in: "Lianghou, do you think that fighting for everything is the most correct strategy?" ”

The Hunan people stopped in amazement: "The Ye Party and we don't share the same sky, if we don't go against the enemy, what else can we do?" ”

The comrade laughed: "This is the confusion of Sixing." Ye Tinglong has two parts, and he won the first credit when he caught the willow thief, in terms of personal prestige, who can compare with him in the court and the opposition? With such a prominent position, it is inevitable that he will form a rivalry with us, but sooner or later. ”

He walked a few steps and sighed again: "Most of the Qingliu people also hold this opinion, right? I think we started too smoothly and were contemptuous; Once he saw Ye Dang rise to power, he couldn't accept it in his heart, and he was desperate to suppress him. The most vigilant thing will be this attitude of quick success. ”

Guo Xiang people suddenly brightened up, and nodded frequently: "Lord Chen is worthy of the name of Confucianism, and his words are like seeing the sun through the clouds." I'll reflect with them when I go back. But I don't think I can let him Ye Yongjia do anything wrong. ”

"That's true. Now the Ye Party wants to fight chaotically, and take care of things together, so that you are exhausted. We must not fall into his schemes. The most important thing now is the fight for the prince, and the name of King Yi must be determined first. If King Yi can't return to the domain, you should write to Master Ge as soon as possible, so that he can play the emperor, show his favor to King Yi, give him jewelry, and choose a beautiful house to live in. In this way, King Yi can no longer stay in the palace and walk back and forth with the prince, and the dispute over the throne can be temporarily settled. ”

The Hunan people received his command, that is, to take their leave; Before leaving, he glanced at the book that was not closed, and saw that it was a piece of "Confucianism", which was densely filled with the words of Chen Tongpao.

The time the prince had been waiting for had finally arrived. That night, he took the book and the book signed jointly with Zhongshu Province, secretly met with the emperor, and tried to drive King Yi out of the capital and return to the fiefdom, and his words were very excited.

The emperor was noncommittal about this, and when he heard what he said, he said: "The law of the country is determined by the ancestors of all generations, and I dare not easily violate it. But King Yi wanted to reunite with my father and son and celebrate the New Year, also out of sincerity. I will issue an edict to him, don't worry. ”

After going through countless major events, the prince no longer expects him to say anything decisive, but now that he hears it, he just sneers secretly, and thinks: 'Now that it is reasonable, I am afraid that it will be useless if he delays!' Then he thanked him and withdrew.

"Lord Wang, please take the order!"

King Yi was still asleep, and suddenly a strong white light flashed in front of his eyes, and he woke up suddenly. He hurriedly raised his hand to cover some of it, and barely opened his eyes to see three or four eunuchs standing at the door, and the person in the middle was holding a yellow satin edict - it was the chief steward Shen Jing.

"Minister...... King Yi endured his dizziness, straightened his clothes a little, and knelt down with his hair scattered, "The ministers obey the order." ”

Shen Jing unfolded the edict, and the slender voice read: "King Zhaoyi said: I originally wanted to keep you until the beginning of the year, but the law of the country does not allow the vassal king to stay in Beijing for a long time, so I can't violate it in the slightest. Pack your bags as soon as possible, so that you will not be criticized in vain. Chin this! ”

"Father!" King Yi shouted, fell to the ground, and wept bitterly, "Erchen is determined to do his filial piety for you, why chase me ruthlessly!" Once today, my father and son may never see each other again! ”

Shen actually saw him so sad, so he hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Don't be excited, the emperor also asked the old slave to say a word to you." ”

"What?" King Yi wiped away his tears and looked at him anxiously.

"The emperor wants you to stay, but the ministers coerced each other with the law of the clan, which made him in a dilemma. Therefore, the emperor has set a six-day deadline for you, and if you have a reasonable way to calm down the discussion within these six days, you can stay here. ”

King Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, but he had to maintain a sad look on his face, and thanked Shen Jing.

At this time, the ministers were still looking forward to King Yi's response, but before they could get excited for long, another edict from the emperor came, and Prime Minister Su Zongshan took it, and saw that it was written: "Gu Shen actually returned, King Yi was extremely sad when he heard the edict, and his crying was almost overwhelming. Remembering that he has filial piety in his heart, he can postpone the trip for six days, so that you can know it. ”
