Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Prince's series of performances today were not as sloppy as rumored, and even a little wise and foolish.

And he also entered the eyes of the prince, with a small guard, ascending to the sky to be the head of the guard of the East Palace, this sudden reuse made Wu Gang even more desperate for Li Xiao.

After returning to the East Palace, Li Xiao's first order was to dismiss all the palace maids and eunuchs in the East Palace except for Wan'er.

"Your Highness, did Wan'er do something wrong? How did you get rid of them all? ”

Wan'er pouted and asked Li Xiao aggrievedly.

"There is too much work in the East Palace, and Wan'er can't do it alone."

When the little girl spoke, she even cried a little, thinking that this was Li Xiao punishing her.

"Silly girl, where did you get so much work, you still only need to serve me, don't worry about the rest."

Li Xiao touched Wan'er's head dotingly, and said in the tone of treating her little sister.

"Well, okay, as long as His Highness doesn't dislike me."

Hearing Li Xiao say this, Wan'er also relieved her heart and showed an innocent and lovely smile.

Early the next morning.

In a teahouse in the capital where talented people often gather, there are constantly people talking about one thing.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"What?"

"Han Shangshu's house was smashed."

"Ah, who? is so bold, that's Lord Shangshu, a big official of the second grade! ”

"It seems to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

One of them said in a low voice, saying that he had looked around before, and he looked very cautious.

"I heard about it."

One of the people next to him also came up.

"It seems that not only was the Han Mansion smashed, but also a family member was killed, and even the eldest son of the Han family was beaten."

"Ah......h

The few people next to him were also surprised.

This Lord Han is the Shangshu of the household department, in charge of the money bag of the entire Daliang, and even His Majesty the Emperor has to give him three points of face, but he didn't expect to be beaten by the prince and bullied like this.

"Alas......!"

One of them sighed deeply.

"What's wrong with you? And I didn't smash your house. ”

The other asked.

"With such a prince, it's really the sorrow of our Great Liang Kingdom!"

"Since this prince is sensible, he has not done a serious thing, he eats, drinks and has fun on weekdays, and he doesn't care about it, but now he is so ridiculous that he goes to smash the home of an important minister in the court."

"His Majesty the Emperor is also old, Beirong and Nanchu are eyeing our Great Liang, and we have such a prince on the table, isn't it the sorrow of the Great Liang Kingdom?"

As he spoke, the man shook his head again and again, and the other people around him also sighed with a long sigh.

It seems that they are extremely disappointed in Li Xiao.

"But there's still a chance!"

"I heard that the prince will also participate in the Beijing poetry meeting in two days, if the prince fails to come out on top in the poetry meeting this time, it is possible that His Majesty will abolish the crown prince!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present raised their heads as if they saw hope.

"Is that true?"

"Really, my cousin is in the court, and what he said in front of the civil and military officials at the prince's engagement ceremony yesterday can still be faked?"

"Also, God finally opened his eyes and gave the eldest lady a chance!"

"If you want me to say, the most suitable prince in the court is none other than the fourth prince, who is proficient in literature and martial arts, but unfortunately he is not a son-in-law."

"What if it's not a son-in-law? If you want me to say that the position of the prince should be occupied by the capable, the current prince is the son-in-law, but you see that he has not done a serious thing. ”

"If you want me to say that the rules for establishing a prince should have been changed a long time ago, the capable go up, and the mediocre go down."

Two people in the crowd sang and sang in harmony, and after these two people said this, the others also began to coax.

"That's it, whoever has the ability should be the prince."

"It's time to change the rules of the court.

"I heard that His Majesty will come in person for this poetry meeting, and everyone can petition together at that time."

"yes, good idea."

"Yes, that's it."

Seeing that these talented people went in the direction they guided, the two rhythmic people looked at each other inadvertently and smiled, and quietly withdrew from the crowd.

"Your Highness, the rumors have been released, and now the talented people in the capital are all looking forward to His Highness."

"And these talented people are ready to unite to petition His Majesty on the poetry meeting, and the position of the crown prince will be occupied by those who are capable."

"And now the prince's reputation has become a bad street in the capital."

"Especially yesterday, the news that the prince led people to smash the Han Mansion came out, whether it was the government or the people, they were all complaining about this matter and were very dissatisfied."

Hearing the detailed report of the two people under his hand, a satisfied smile appeared on the face of the fourth prince.

"Okay, you two have done a good job, go down and get the reward!"

The four princes waved their hands, and the two of them went down happily to receive the reward.

"Lord Han's method is really wonderful!"

After the two left, the fourth prince couldn't help but praise loudly.

"Where, where? His Royal Highness praised it. ”

A person walked out from behind the screen, it was Han Lin'er's father, Han Yuan, the head of the household, who was still followed by Han Lin'er.

is looking at the four princes in front of him with affectionate eyes.

"Come on, come on, Uncle Han, please take a seat!"

After colliding with Han Lin'er's eyes, the name of the four princes to Han Yuan was changed all of a sudden, and its purpose was naturally self-evident.

"By all means, Your Highness, you are the prince, how can you call the old minister like this."

Han Yuan said yes, but he was already happy in his heart.

"This is not in the court, besides, I am good friends with Lin'er, and I often chant poems together on weekdays, so it is also appropriate to call you uncle."

"Since His Royal Highness said so, then the old man will not shirk, and the little girl will have to take care of His Royal Highness in the future."

The smile on Han Yuan's face was very bright, and he naturally hoped that Han Lin'er and the fourth prince would be close to each other.

According to the current situation, maybe I can mix with a national abbot to do it.

"That's natural, uncle, don't worry."

The fourth prince patted his chest and said, it was completely like a son-in-law seeing his father-in-law.

"Your Highness has to prepare for the next poetry meeting!"

"Uncle, don't worry, I have already contacted all the talented people inside and outside the capital, and even a few great sages from neighboring countries have dealings with me."

"At the poetry meeting, Li Xiao must know what it means to be ugly."

The fourth prince said with confidence.

"That's good, Your Highness only needs to be above the poetry meeting, let Li Xiao make a good fool, and leave the rest to the old man."

"Several ministers and old husbands in the court have already been contacted, just wait for the end of the poetry meeting, we will jointly play, and then add the people's petition, His Royal Highness's position as the crown prince, but there will be no problem."

"Thank you, uncle, Uncle Lao has bothered."

The four princes bowed deeply to Han Won to express their gratitude.
