Chapter 381: The Fifteenth Prince
The Nine Emperor Princes squinted at the back of the crown prince, snorted coldly, and after nodding with Shangguan Yuanzhi, he left first.
Shangguan Yuanzhi wanted to stay and talk to the people of the Nine Emperors and the party about the next plan.
After all, it's useless to say that you want to support, you have to take some practical action, and Shangguan Yuanzhi has to let these people pay some money no matter what.
Now is the time to serve the Nine Emperor Princes, whether they are loyal enough or not, and whether they are worthy of the Nine Emperors' promotion and reuse, depends on how much money they are willing to pay next.
For a while, the officials who were called away by Shangguan Yuanzhi complained bitterly, but they could only squeeze out a smile and cooperate.
You and I are testing how much money the other party wants to pay, but you can't let yourself suffer anyway.
The Nine Emperor Princes were about to go back to the house to rest, when they stepped out of an arch and was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Brother Jiu."
The Nine Emperor Princes looked back and saw that it was a thin young man, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Fifteen, why are you here?" ”
The fifteenth prince was a little nervous when facing the ninth prince, but he still put on a look of something he wanted to say.
The Nine Emperors are quite curious, you know, this younger brother of his, he often stammers with the prince, he has no way, he is born humblely, and he can only survive by stammering, otherwise, he will not have a good time in the harem.
A trace of pity flashed in the eyes of the Nine Emperor Princes, but it quickly disappeared, and it was replaced by coldness, sympathy, this kind of thing can be used on anyone, but not on his own brother, especially the person in front of him may still compete with him for the throne.
Although the Nine Emperors did not think that the Fifteenth Prince had this ability, as long as the Fifteenth Prince was the identity of the Prince, then the other party had this qualification, and the identities of the two were destined to make it impossible for the Nine Emperors to look down on the Fifteenth Prince, and there was still a trace of defense in the bottom of his heart.
However, he was very curious about what the Nine Emperor Princes suddenly came to do.
"Is there something wrong?"
The Nine Emperors got straight to the point, he still had a bunch of things to do now, and he really didn't have the heart to care about what the Fifteenth Prince wanted to say, so he was ready to fight quickly.
The fifteenth prince also noticed that the nine princes were impatient, bit his lip and said, "Ninth brother, can we talk in a different place?" It's inconvenient here, I have something to tell you. ”
Although the Nine Emperors were impatient, they still walked with the Fifteenth Prince, and the two of them arrived near a remote rockery in the Imperial Garden, and the Fifteenth Prince ran back and forth to make sure that there was no one, and then came back breathlessly.
Seeing the fifteenth prince like this, the ninth prince was a little interested.
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"I have a way!"
The fifteenth prince suddenly came with such a sentence, and the preface did not match the afterword.
The Nine Emperors frowned.
"What do you mean? What's the method? ”
The fifteenth prince said seriously: "Didn't my father ask you to raise grain and grass? I said I had a way! ”
The Nine Emperors raised their eyebrows, obviously not believing it, and asked a little jokingly: "Fifteen, this matter is not a joke, don't make fun of me, what can you do?" ”
After the Nine Emperor Princes finished speaking, they felt that it was a waste of time for them to come with the Fifteenth Prince, but in the end, it was his own brother or a poor worm, and there was no need to do anything to him, so the Nine Emperor Princes turned around and prepared to leave.
"You trust me! I really have a way! Brother Jiu! As the fifteenth prince spoke, he hurriedly approached the front of the ninth prince and blocked the way.
The Nine Emperors frowned, already a little irritable.
"Get out of the way!"
The fifteenth prince said directly: "Brother Jiu, you believe me, I really have a way, otherwise I wouldn't come to you, I know Brother Jiu, you are not a patient person, I also know that if the method I say is useless, you will not let me go, but I really have a way, I can help you!" ”
Hearing the last two words, the Nine Emperor Princes laughed directly, his eyes were full of disdain and contempt, and he looked at the little boy in front of him condescendingly, thin and white, that white was not a good-looking white.
I have long known that my younger brother is not easy to live in the harem, not only is he frail and sickly, but he is often bullied.
It's a prince anyway, and although there are no patches, the clothes on his body obviously don't fit.
The Nine Emperors shook his head, pursed his lips and said, "Fifteen, what did the prince ask you to tell me, you had better explain honestly, otherwise, don't blame the ninth brother for being unkind to you." ”
The fifteenth prince shook his head: "Ninth brother, it wasn't the prince who asked me to come, I came to you myself, I, I have something to ask you for help." ”
When the Nine Emperor Princes heard this, they didn't fully believe it, who didn't know that the prince had many means? At this juncture, the other party is eager to find his own stubble, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal to let the fifteenth prince come over.
The fifteenth prince saw that the ninth prince did not believe in him, and immediately said.
"Brother Jiu, what I said is true, I, I want you to come forward to ask for a doctor for my mother's concubine, my mother is sick."
This excuse, or rather, this reason, is somewhat credible, the Nine Emperor Princes temporarily retracted the suspicion in his eyes and asked.
"Concubine Shun is sick, that's a matter of the harem, you should go to the queen for this kind of thing, it's really not okay, say a few words in front of the prince, hasn't the prince always valued you? It's impossible not to go to the queen to say for you, how can you ask me to come with you? ”
Speaking of the crown prince, when he valued him, the Nine Emperors were obviously deliberately sarcastic, and the fifteenth prince's face was slightly pale, and he said with a wry smile.
"Brother Jiu, you obviously know that I have no status in front of the prince, the prince just treats me as a dog, I know that I am not as noble as the prince, and I am not as hurt as the ninth brother, and my mother is only a palace maid."
"But no matter what, he is also my mother, and the only person I can rely on in the harem, please, Brother Jiu, you can help me, if you don't ask for a doctor, my mother will be gone, I beg you!"
The fifteenth prince had red circles in his eyes as he spoke.
The Nine Emperors looked at him with some disgust, but they swallowed back the refusal in their mouths, and he carefully looked the Fifteenth Prince up and down, and continued to taunt.
"You are really a filial son, but in my place, there is no help in vain, whether the method you said is effective or not, not to mention it for the time being, I don't think that if you tell me a way, you can change me to run a trip."
"You said it yourself, your mother is just a palace maid, my mother is a concubine, her status is comparable to that of a queen, I am also very embarrassed in front of my father, let me come forward to ask your concubine to ask for a doctor, isn't it a little out of place?"
The Nine Emperors have always been so arrogant when they speak.
The fifteenth prince seemed to be used to it, and he didn't have much reaction, just said seriously.
"What does Brother Nine want me to do?"
Seeing that he had finally put his attitude right, the Nine Emperor Princes smiled reluctantly with satisfaction.
"It's pretty much the same, since it's asking for help, then naturally you have to put on a posture of begging for people, fifteen, I wanted to tell you before, you are a wooden person, you can't speak, forget it, you can't speak, then don't put on an annoying face, if you want me to help, it's not impossible."
"Haven't you always been close to the prince? Then I'll give you an errand, and when you go back, follow me closely by the prince's side, and once there is any movement on the prince's side, come over and tell me quickly, no matter what big or small things are, no matter how big or small, you have to tell me everything, can you do it? ”
When the fifteenth prince heard this, his body trembled a little, and he said cautiously.
"Brother Jiu, if the prince is really talking about something important, it is impossible to bring me, I, I ......"
"You just need to answer, can you do it, the prince doesn't take you to talk about important things, that's because he looks down on you, but aren't you quite good at stammering? Then try to tie it up, stick it and listen, otherwise, why should I help you? ”
"And don't forget, there is not only the crown prince's mother in this harem, the queen can be the master alone, my mother concubine Li Guifei can also be the master, if you don't listen to me today, don't blame me for being rude to you."
The fifteenth prince's face turned slightly pale.
"Brother Jiu, you, how can you do this?"
The Nine Emperor Princes laughed: "Why can't I?" You took the initiative to come to me, I don't trust you that much, who knows if you came by yourself, or the prince asked you to come, if the prince deliberately asked you to play tricks on me, I won't give you some color to see, wouldn't I be sorry for myself? ”
The Nine Emperors can speak well, and in a few words, they blocked the back of the Fifteenth Prince.
The fifteenth prince was speechless, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
"I, I know, Brother Jiu, I will follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I will tell you something."
Seeing him like this, the Nine Emperor Princes were finally satisfied, and then hooked his fingers and asked him to tell him about his plan.
The fifteenth prince didn't bother, took a few steps forward, approached the ninth prince and whispered in his ear.
The Nine Emperors were careless at first, just listening casually, but when he heard the back, his face changed instantly, and he looked at the Fifteenth Prince in surprise, and then said meaningfully.
"I didn't expect it, you really have some ability, okay, I know, I will think about this method well, whether you want to do it or not, I will also watch it, as long as you do the good things I have explained, then there will be no orders."
The Nine Emperors glanced deeply at the Fifteenth Prince again, and then left quickly.
Looking at the back of the Nine Emperors leaving, the panic on the faces of the Fifteen Princes converged, and he left from the round arch next to him expressionlessly.
The Nine Emperors' Mansion, study.
"What do you say? This idea really came up with the fifteenth prince, aren't you kidding me? ”
Shangguan Yuanzhi just took a sip of tea, and when he heard what the Nine Emperor Princes said, his eyes immediately widened, obviously not quite believing.
The Nine Emperor Princes put down the teacup, smiled and said, "Don't say you don't believe it, I don't believe it either, I didn't expect that Fifteen, who is usually inconspicuous, would actually come up with such a method?" ”
"Not to mention, as soon as I heard it, I knew that this method worked, but was this really the method that Fifteen came up with? Dumbfounded, can you have this kind of brain? ”
Shangguan Yuanzhi heard the displeasure in the tone of the Nine Emperor Princes, and smiled and comforted.
"Nine Emperor Princes, you don't have to be so uncomfortable, your most powerful competitor now is the crown prince, as for fifteen, don't worry, his mother is just a palace maid, what help can you give him? Let's talk about this method. ”
Shangguan Yuanzhi's words really made the Nine Emperor Princes feel a lot more comfortable, and soon, he adjusted and asked Shangguan Yuanzhi.
"So what do you think? Uncle, this method is feasible, but will it be too much to toss? I'm afraid this first step will not be realized. ”
The words of the Nine Emperor Princes were reasonable and well-founded, and Shangguan Yuanzhi had no way to deny and refute them, so he said them after thinking about it.
"Whether it can be achieved or not, you have to try it to know, if this method is done, then you will be famous, and the capital will have to talk about you again in the future, isn't it good? Now that you and the prince are up and down each other in terms of background power on both sides, what is most lacking is that fire. ”
