One hundred and seventy-six chapters
In the Xingde Palace, the Eighth Prince was playing chess with himself. In the chess game, the black and white are biting each other, and no one will let anyone.
At this time, Yu Hai walked in. When he saw that the Eighth Prince's chess game had reached the most critical place, he did not rush to report the matter, but stood quietly aside, waiting for the Eighth Emperor to finish the game.
Yu Hai is not very good at chess, but he can see that the strength of the black and white in the chess game is equal, and the situation is very dangerous.
Half an hour later, Kuroko was surrounded by Shiroko and cornered, so he could only disarm and surrender.
The Eighth Prince raised his eyes to look at Yu Hai and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Yu Hai respectfully reported: "That person from the Wang family has agreed to cooperate with us. ”
The Eighth Prince picked up a white piece from the chess game and immediately changed the chess game. The originally cornered sunspot appeared with a hint of life.
"Oh, promised?" The eighth prince played with the white son in his hand, and the corners of his mouth raised a hint of interest, "Agreed so quickly?" ”
"Your Highness, we give a lot of money, of course he will not refuse." Referring to the person in the Wang family, Yu Hai's face showed a contemptuous smile, "Although he is somewhat favored in the Wang family, he is not a son-in-law after all, plus his sisters-in-law and cousins regard him as a thorn in the flesh and make things difficult for him everywhere, He doesn't have much money in his hand, we promised to give him so much money, how could he not be moved." ”
"The most important thing is that he is ambitious, and he is unwilling to be a lowly concubine of the royal family all the time. He wants to control the Wang family, but it is impossible for him to do it alone. He can only work with us. ”
The eighth prince flicked the white son with his thumb, and then reached out to catch the white son steadily.
"I thought he was just a clever person, but I didn't expect him to be a man who knows the times and is a good man."
"Your Highness, a few of the children of the Wang family are stupid." The corners of Yu Hai's mouth raised a mocking smile, "However, Your Highness, these children of the family are insatiable, it's really disgusting. ”
When the Eighth Prince heard Yu Hai's words, he let out a chuckle: "How many people in this world are not greedy? It's that I'm insatiable and want more. ”
"Your Highness, you are different from them." Yu Hai hurriedly retorted, "What qualifications do they have to compare with you. The children of these families have rotted from the bottom one by one, no wonder the emperor wants to get rid of these families. ”
"It's good to be insatiable, so that we can use it." The Eighth Prince smiled, "I'm afraid they don't want anything." ”
Yu Haidao: "What His Highness said is true. ”
He asked, "Your Highness, what are we going to do next?" ”
"Don't do it." The eighth prince stretched out his hand to ruin the chess game, then grabbed a chess piece and played with it in his hand, "We have already given him money, what to do next depends on him." If he doesn't have the ability to climb up, we don't need to help him anymore. ”
"Your Highness, although the foundation of those people in the Wang family is rotten, but they like to play intrigues, and the methods are very insidious, it is not easy for him to get rid of those people." Yu Hai was not optimistic about the person who cooperated with them, "He has some means and cleverness, but can he beat those old foxes of the Wang family?" ”
"Those old foxes of the Wang family have all become fine, can he deal with them as a hairy boy?" Yu Hai knows these families, and he also knows the methods and schemes of these people.
"Whether he can deal with it or not is his business, what do we do with this heart." The Eighth Prince smiled casually, "If he doesn't have that ability, then he has no use value." ”
"Your Highness, if he doesn't succeed, then we won't spend money on him in vain." Yu Hai feels sorry for money, after all, he has invested a lot of money in that person.
The Eighth Prince smiled meaningfully, "Do you think I will do a loss-making business?" ”
When Yu Hai saw the smile of the Eighth Prince, his heart was cold, and he immediately said, "Your Highness is wise. ”
The eighth prince picked up the teacup and lowered his head to take a few sips of tea.
"How's it going over there in the paddock?"
Yu Hai replied respectfully, "Nothing happened over there in the paddock for the time being. ”
"What about the tenth brother?"
"Your Highness Ten is very good." At the mention of the Tenth Highness, Yu Hai remembered something and exclaimed, "Your Highness, the Tenth Highness actually knows General Song and their youngest son, and they are now hunting together in the paddock. ”
When the eighth prince heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "You said that the tenth brother knows General Song and their youngest son?" ”
"That's right, His Royal Highness Ten took them to meet the Fourth Prince." Yu poster said, "The four princes are also surprised, it seems that the Ten Highnesses did not follow the four princes. ”
"How could the tenth brother know General Song and their youngest son?"
"His Royal Highness the Tenth said that when Xiu Mu left the palace, he was in Xishi and General Song and their youngest son did not fight, and they did not know each other." Yu Hai said, with an angry look on his face, "Your Highness, Your Highness didn't tell you about this, is His Highness ......?"
The Eighth Prince interrupted Yu Hai's words: "Do you want to say that the tenth brother deliberately knew General Song and their youngest son, and then deliberately concealed me?" ”
Yu Hai nodded.
"Yu Hai, do you think the tenth brother has this scheming?" The Eighth Prince thought Yu Hai's idea was too funny, "Yu Hai, what do you think of the tenth brother as." ”
Yu Hai was stopped by the two questions of the Eighth Prince.
"Why didn't His Highness Ten tell you that he knew General Song and their youngest son?"
The eighth prince smiled: "I guess I forgot." ”
"Forgot?" Yu Hai was shocked by the speculation of the Eighth Prince.
"With the temperament of the tenth brother, it is very likely to forget." The eighth prince knew Zhao Yao as well as the fourth prince, "When the tenth brother comes back, you can ask him." ”
Yu Haidao: "The slave doesn't dare to question His Highness the Ten. ”
The Eighth Prince suddenly removed the smile from his face, and his expression became very stern.
"Yu Hai, we are such people, but don't speculate on the tenth brother with our thoughts." He said again, "Also, don't you know what kind of person the tenth brother is? ”
Yu Hai was said by the Eighth Prince and realized that his idea just now was wrong.
"Your Highness, the slave knows that she is wrong."
The Eighth Prince glanced at Yu Hai coldly: "Yu Hai, I hope there won't be a second time for this kind of thing." ”
Yu Hai's scalp was numb when he was watched, and he said with a somewhat frightened face: "Yes, Your Highness." ”
The Eighth Prince's expression softened a little: "What kind of character the tenth brother is, don't you understand?" ”
Yu Hai said with guilt on his face: "Your Highness, the slave maid is wrong, the slave maid should not doubt the Ten Highnesses." ”
"Yu Hai, you can doubt anyone, but you can't doubt the tenth brother." The Eighth Prince said softly, "The tenth brother is just a child, he is not me, nor is he anyone else, understand?" ”
Yu Hai said respectfully: "The slave understands. ”
The Eighth Prince nodded his head and didn't say anything.
Yu Hai looked at the Eighth Prince, he opened his mouth to say something, but he hesitated not to say it.
Seeing Yu Hai's expression of wanting to speak, the eighth prince said, "Say whatever you want." ”
"Your Highness, is it okay for His Highness Ten and General Song and their four youngest sons to intersect?" Yu Haifang still suspected that Zhao Yao had a purpose in dealing with General Song and their youngest son, and now he became worried about Zhao Yao, "After all, it is General Song and their youngest son, isn't it not good for His Highness Ten to have a relationship with them?" ”
The Eighth Prince said thoughtfully: "I remember that General Song's youngest son did not have a good reputation. ”
"They claim to be the little overlords of the West Market, and the people of the West City say that they are the sons of gentlemen." Speaking of this, Yu Hai showed a worried look on his face, "Your Highness, the Ten Highnesses will not be brought bad by them when they deal with them, right?" ”
Looking at Yu Hai's worried expression, the Eighth Prince joked to him: "Why are you worried about the tenth brother now, didn't you still doubt the tenth brother just now?" ”
Yu Hai blushed when the Eighth Prince said: "Your Highness, the slave maid knows that it is wrong, so don't make fun of the slave maid." He was also confused just now, and he actually thought of His Highness Ten like this.
"It's rare for the tenth brother to have friends outside the palace, so let's not stop it." The Eighth Prince said, "Besides, it's not useless for the tenth brother to associate with them. ”
When Yu Hai heard the Eighth Prince say this, he instantly thought about it again, and immediately showed a sudden look on his face: "His Royal Highness is still wise." ”
When the Eighth Prince looked at Yu Hai's adoring look, he knew that Yu Hai had misunderstood. He didn't bother to explain to Yu Hai.
"Let our people protect the tenth brother." Based on his guess, Zhen Guogong is very likely to do it tomorrow.
"Your Highness, rest assured, our people have been secretly protecting the Ten Highnesses."
When the eighth prince heard this, he was relieved and did not say anything about this matter.
Yu Hai saw that the eighth prince didn't say anything more, and was about to retreat. At this moment, the Eighth Prince suddenly spoke: "When the Duke of Zhenguo makes a move, let our people do the same." ”
"Your Highness, didn't you say that you were afraid of being suspected by the emperor and didn't do it for the time being?"
The Eighth Prince said lightly: "Let our people fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to assassinate Zhao Hui." ”
Yu Hai was stunned: "Assassinate the third prince? ”
The eighth prince said in a light tone: "Find something to do for the Wang family." ”
Yu Hai instantly understood what the Eighth Prince meant, and then asked, "What extent is the assassination?" ”
"Seriously injured." The eighth prince commanded again, "The fifth and sixth children were assassinated together by the way." ”
Yu Hai nodded hurriedly: "The slave will arrange it." ”
The Eighth Prince didn't say anything more, picked up the book on the desk and read it.
At this time, Zhao Yao, who was far away in the enclosure in the eastern suburbs, was busy hunting with his four younger brothers.
There was a lot of prey in the woods to the south, but there were also a lot of people.
Zhao Yao and the others met Song Jicai and several of their brothers.
Song Jimin and Shen Mu were very surprised when they saw their younger brother following the Ten Princes.
Song Jicai They thought that Song Jimin was in the forest in the east, but they didn't expect them to be in the forest in the south.
Zhao Yao didn't know Song Jimin and them, but they didn't know each other until Song Jicai introduced them.
Song Jicai's two brothers are named Song Jimin and Song Jiren, both of whom are Sanpin generals.
Shen Sen's two elder brothers are named Shen Mu and Shen Lin respectively, and they are also Sanpin generals.
Zhang He's two brothers are named Zhang Jiang and Zhang Hu. Zhang Jiang's official position was one level higher than that of Song Jimin, and he was the general of the second rank of Zhengdong.
Chu Huan's two brothers are named Chu Heng and Chu Yan respectively. The two of them are also second-rank generals, one is the general of Zhengnan and the other is the general of Zhengxi.
Zhang Jiang, Chu Heng and Chu Yan were relatively old, they joined the army when they were seven or eight years old, and they followed their father when they were twelve or thirteen years old, and they made a lot of military exploits.
In the past few years, they pacified the chaos outside the country and made great achievements, so they were canonized by Emperor Wu of Zhou as the general of Zhengdong, Zhengnan and Zhengxi.
The children of these four families are all generals, and they are all the objects of envy and desire of the Manchu ministers. The Xie family and the Wang family wanted to win over, but they didn't dare to win over, because they were the people of Emperor Wu of Zhou.
Song Jimin and Chu Heng had no impression of Zhao Yao, the tenth prince, but because of the previous stirrup, they were deeply impressed by Zhao Yao.
Seeing Zhao Yao and Song Jimin, they solemnly thanked him for making stirrups.
With stirrups, their combat capabilities on the horse increased a lot. If they fought with the cavalry of the Huns in the future, they would not be afraid.
After Song Jiren thanked Zhao Yao, he told their younger brother to pay attention to safety, and then left.
"Big brother, they are so polite, is this still our big brother?" Zhang He was stunned, and immediately reached out and rubbed his arm, "Big brother, they were so disgusting just now." ”
Shen Sen very much agreed with Zhang He's words: "It's really disgusting. ”
Chu Huan complained sharply: "In front of the eldest prince, of course the eldest brother has to pretend. ”
Song Ji thought of the stirrup thing that their eldest brother mentioned, and looked at Zhao Yao with admiration: "Boss, the stirrup you made is really a good thing." ”
"yes, Boss, I forgot about you, how did you get the stirrups out?"
"Boss, this stirrup you made, my father and eldest brother can't stop praising it."
Zhao Yao pretended to be calm and said: "That's how it was made." ”
"That's how it is, boss, tell us more about it."
"Hunt first, and I'll tell you when I get back."
At this time, a deer came out not far in front, and Zhao Yao immediately pulled his bow and shot arrows. Unfortunately, the shot missed and missed. Zhao Yao and a few of them hurriedly chased after them.
