Yue Lingjun didn't give the Nine Emperors face at all, seeing that the Nine Emperors looked confused, Yue Lingjun's face instantly turned cold.

He stood up suddenly, smiled, and said.

"It seems that I am naïve, since Your Highness doesn't understand what I mean, then I will say it directly, Your Highness, in fact, I came to you today, and I did come to take refuge in you."

"But I hope Your Highness can show some sincerity, after all, if I can go to support the frontier sooner and calm the troubles on the frontier as soon as possible, then I can come back sooner."

"When the time comes, there will be no covetousness from the enemy, and when I return to the capital, I will be able to stop doing other things, if I can't handle the affairs of the frontier well, I'm afraid I won't have the heart to put it on other things, I say so, Your Highness can understand, right?"

Yue Lingjun said this so bluntly, the Nine Emperor Princes are not stupid, why can't they understand, this is a threat?

If he didn't help manage the affairs of the frontier, Yue Lingjun wouldn't plan to take refuge in himself? It's so arrogant!

The answer Yue Lingjun wanted, the Nine Emperor Princes couldn't respond immediately, but on the surface, they still had to pretend, so the Nine Emperor Princes said with a smile.

"The general has said this, and you are all dedicated to Great Xia, as the Nine Emperor Princes of Great Xia, I must be responsible, the general can rest assured, I will definitely do my best when you go to the frontier, and I will not stand idly by."

This is a beautiful statement, and it does not promise that this matter will be handled well, but it also leaves room for consideration, and it is obvious that I want to think about it.

Yue Lingjun was not an aggressive person either, and since he had received a reply, he nodded.

"In that case, then I'll go back first, it's late at night, Your Highness Nine should have a good rest."

The Nine Emperor Princes nodded and personally sent people out, until they watched Yue Lingjun leave over the wall and the guards came back and forth to ask Yue Lingjun to really leave, that the Nine Emperor Princes restrained their smiles and returned to the study with an expressionless face.

As soon as I entered, I saw a person coming out from behind the screen, and said with a sigh.

"Uncle, you can be regarded as showing up, what should we do now? Yue Lingjun suddenly came to the door, why do I think something is wrong? ”

What came out from behind the screen was a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, who looked very energetic, with a trace of elegant temperament, this person was the uncle of the Nine Emperor Princes, the Hubu Shangshu of Great Xia, Shangguan Yuanzhi, and the elder brother of Concubine Li.

Compared with the anxiety of the Nine Emperor Princes, Shangguan Yuanzhi looked unfazed, and said with a smile.

"Why are the Nine Emperor Princes in such a hurry? Isn't this an opportunity delivered to your door? If you don't grasp it, won't you be sorry for yourself? ”

This sentence was so obvious that the Nine Emperor Princes heard it, and asked with a frown: "Uncle, do you think Yue Lingjun can be trusted?" But don't you think that today's Yue Lingjun is abnormal? He has never been involved in party fighting, but I don't think it's a good thing that he suddenly appeared in the middle of the night today and told me so much. ”

Shangguan Yuanzhi comfortably found a place to sit down, then poured himself a cup of tea, and eavesdropped for a long time, he was indeed a little thirsty.

Seeing his uncle's leisurely appearance, the Nine Emperors were a little anxious, but it was not easy to urge, so he could only sit on the main seat, wait and at the same time order his subordinates to prepare snacks and hot tea.

Looking at today, I am afraid that I have to talk to my uncle about things, after all, Yue Lingjun is indeed very tricky, especially the request that Yue Lingjun made today is not so easy to do.

The maid brought the hot tea with dim sum, and Shangguan Yuanzhi was not polite, he ate two pieces and padded his stomach, and then wiped the corners of his mouth and said.

"Nine Emperor Princes, isn't what Fang Cai Yue Lingjun said clear enough? People are here to take refuge in you, since this is the case, why push people out, you know, the prince can't get such an opportunity to be courteous, but Yue Lingjun took the initiative to come to you, if you let the prince know, you can't be jealous of you? ”

Of course, the Nine Emperor Princes knew that this was an opportunity, but he couldn't accept Yue Lingjun's attitude, although Yue Lingjun spoke respectfully to him, he couldn't feel any sincerity.

Yue Lingjun is still the same Yue Lingjun, the difference is only that Yue Lingjun will bow his head now, but the bowing of people's heads is not in vain, they have to pay the price, and the price is to let themselves help and let Yue Lingjun go out of Beijing to the frontier smoothly.

The Nine Emperor Princes did not hide from Shangguan Yuanzhi, but expressed their worries in one go.

"Uncle, I know what you mean, you think that Yue Lingjun's future is limitless, and he has such a reputation, he is indeed a good chess piece, and it is a good thing for us to take him under his command, but I am afraid that Yue Lingjun is only superficially obedient, but I can't count on him when doing things."

"Besides, Yue Lingjun is not a person who talks about rules, in case I mention that he will do something, but he turns his face and denies it, and people turn their heads and don't admit it, then who should I go to? Don't you think you're unlucky? I didn't say anything in vain, and I was tricked, I don't want to have such an ending! ”

Shangguan Yuanzhi narrowed his eyes and said with a serious expression.

"Nine Emperor Princes, as the saying goes, there is always a give-and-take, you can't think that it is not successful when things have not happened, besides, why does Yue Lingjun have to do this kind of thing of unloading and killing donkeys, even if this time the matter of the frontier is solved, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no next one, and he will not do anything to cut off the way back."

"Yue Lingjun has now returned to the capital, then he has to think of staying in the capital, I see, he is not as unmotivated as before, now look, he is full of fighting spirit, he is definitely reluctant to leave the capital, but now the situation in the capital is complicated, he wants to be alone like a few years ago, he can't do it at all, so he can only take refuge in one person."

Shangguan Yuanzhi's tone was contemptuous.

"The prince is mediocre, Yue Lingjun's arrogance must not be looked down upon, otherwise, he would not come to you for the first time, so I think that the advantages of subduing Yue Lingjun outweigh the disadvantages, and what Yue Lingjun is asking for now is not excessive, both horizontal and vertical are for the sake of Great Xia."

"If the Nine Emperor Princes inherit the Great Unification in the coming days, this Great Xia is also your Great Xia, isn't Yue Lingjun just guarding the country for the Nine Emperor Princes in disguise? That's why I think I can do this favor, and let Yue Lingjun owe you a favor, and keep my country, why not? ”

What do you say...... There is some truth, and the Nine Emperor Princes are silent.

Shangguan Yuanzhi was worried elsewhere at this time, and spoke: "Nine Emperor Princes, I think what we should worry about now is not Yue Lingjun, but the Royal Shadow Guard, I think, Yue Lingjun's words just now have some truth, what do the Nine Emperor Princes think?" ”

The Nine Emperor Princes came back to their senses and asked, "What can I think, the Royal Shadow Guard was cultivated by my father, even if something happens, it is not my responsibility." ”

Shangguan Yuanzhi shook his head: "No, no, Nine Emperors, although the Royal Shadow Guard was cultivated by the emperor, the Royal Shadow Guard has always been loyal to the emperor, this time there is such a big mistake, don't you think there is a problem with the Nine Emperor Princes?" ”

"I think what Fang Cai Yue Lingjun said is to remind you that you will be the emperor in the future, if something goes wrong with the royal shadow guard, it will not be a good thing for you, not to mention, now that your Royal Highness has not ascended to the throne, and the royal shadow guard has such a problem, you should be even more careful."

Shangguan Yuanzhi's tone was solemn.

"If the spearhead of the royal shadow guard is aimed inward at the emperor, it will be a threat to your succession, in the order of succession, the prince can be more justified than you, Yue Lingjun's words have some truth, this time the problem is not small, if it is not the prince's handiwork, then who can it be?"

"Your Highness the Nine, have you ever done it, you know best in your heart, if it weren't for you, or the crown prince, who would be sacred, and actually be able to put your hand into the royal shadow guard? So many pairs of eyes in the capital haven't been able to detect it, this is what happened under your nose, Nine Emperor Princes, don't you have any ideas? ”

These words were obvious enough, and the expression of the Nine Emperor Princes really became serious.

"What my uncle said was, who could it be? Now there are only a handful of people in the capital who have the ability to do this. ”

"Even if you have this hands-on opportunity, and the purpose of doing it, there are even fewer people, I can be sure, it's definitely not the prince's idiot, he doesn't have that ability, unless he ......"

The Nine Emperor Princes paused, and then said with a determined face: "Unless, there are still those who secretly muddy the waters!" A force that doesn't show its head! ”

Shangguan Yuanzhi saw that the Nine Emperors' attention was completely focused on others, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he still nodded approvingly.

"What the Nine Emperor Princes said is right, but I think that in case all this is a trick made by the prince's side, deliberately making things rough, so that we don't suspect him, it seems that it is not impossible to rule out our own suspicions."

"After all, although the prince is mediocre and stupid, but the queen is not, maybe, all this is the queen's back, we have to guard against it, and now that the queen's status is unshakable, we should really think of a way to cure him."

This can be regarded as talking about the heart of the Nine Emperor Princes, he has long seen that the crown prince is not pleasing to the eye, but he has never found a chance, and now he is finally comfortable when he hears his uncle's call.

"Uncle has said so much, so there are more or less ways to deal with it, right?"

The Nine Emperors were a smart kid, and they didn't want to use their brains at all, but pushed these things onto Shangguan Yuanzhi.

Shangguan Yuanzhi was helpless, but since he had decided to take on this heavy responsibility, it was impossible to retreat.

Shangguan Yuanzhi pondered for a moment and then spoke: "If His Royal Highness the Ninth thinks it's okay, then I'll go and check the prince well, and check the queen by the way, only in this way can I dispel my doubts, if they do it, they will definitely leave traces." ”

The Nine Emperors were quite satisfied with this answer.

"Okay, then do as you say."

Shangguan Yuanzhi nodded, which was considered to be a matter of decided, and then asked tentatively.

"By the way, Your Highness the Nineth, then again, what do you think of Yue Lingjun, do you want to include this person under your command? This person is full of arrogance, and if he wants to accept it, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

"Even if Your Highness the Ninth comes forward to settle the matter of going to the frontier for him, I don't think the other party will definitely accept your affection, of course, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, if you really insist, maybe Yue Lingjun will really eat this set, so I agreed."

The Nine Emperor Princes picked up the hot tea, took a sip, and sneered.

"That is, you regard this so-called talent as important, anyway, I think there is no difference between these generals, even if Yue Lingjun is powerful, he is just a general and a courtier."

"I didn't agree, but deliberately pushed back a little, just to be reserved, if I want to take Yue Lingjun as my subordinate for reuse, then I have to ask him to submit a letter of nomination first, otherwise I don't worry."
