Chapter 143: Tricks

"Master, the slave thinks that we don't have to take this Dunmin Imperial Concubine to heart! ......," said Law.

"Brother Debate, how do you say this? Although this woman of the Tushetu clan has no mother's family, the power behind her is the largest among all the concubines in the palace. There are people in Eastern Mongolia and Western Mongolia who sell her face, and she also has a strong relationship in Manchuria, and she also gave birth to a son for the emperor...... If one day, she will also compete for the crown prince for her son, I am afraid that even the emperor will have to weigh it! Lingpu said.

"Hehe, I'm afraid Brother Ling is too worried! Although you are right, you must not forget, since this woman of the Tushetu family entered the palace, which concubine has she ever had a conflict with? Moreover, she is not nosy. Although she also came out of the matter of Concubine Liang, this is also because there are two women around her, Mo Jing and Luo Xin, who are teasing. Didn't our eyeliner say? It was that Luo Xin who had to go to Yucuixuan, so Concubine Min had to go with her...... So, master, the slave thinks that we don't have to care about this Min Guifei, anyway, you didn't offend her last time, as long as you treat her politely in the future, it should be fine! Qi Liang interjected and said.

"Zu Yin, what do you think?" Yinren asked Xu Zumeng again.

"Back to the master, the slave thinks what Lord Qi Liang said is very true! Although Concubine Min has a noble status and several powerful forces behind her, those are not her maiden family after all! Even Öndör Khan, who did not send troops even when the Tushetu tribe was exterminated by Geldan, how could he stand out for the palace battle? This is still her uncle, let alone the others! …… I'm afraid most of these people just want this imperial concubine to help them say more good things in front of the emperor, and they won't show any true feelings! Xu Zuyin replied.

"There is a good point! …… However, Bengong is worried, now that this Concubine Min is very close to Concubine Liang, Bengong is afraid that she will be bewitched! Although those Mongol Khan kings won't play for this woman, a few stamps are enough to make the court toss for a few days! …… Hmph, this palace really can't figure out why Huang Ama would make the slut of the Wei family a good concubine at that time, what qualifications does a lowly person from the Xin Zheku have to be called a concubine? Yinren's tone was extremely dissatisfied.

"According to the slave, master, I'm afraid that the Wei family and the eighth elder brother are stained with your light!" Qi Liang said again.

"Oh? Let's talk about ......"

"Master, please forgive the slave for being disrespectful. Think about it, if the emperor had his usual temper, when he arrived at Yucuixuan that day, would he get angry, or even scold you? Qi Liang asked.

"Indeed, there is such a possibility! …… You go on! Yinren thought for a while, affirmed Qi Liang's words, and then asked.

"Wei's family is from Xinzhiku, but after all, he gave birth to a prince, so it stands to reason that he should at least be crowned a concubine! However, the emperor only gave her a nobleman! This shows that the emperor actually doesn't like this woman. However, for her illness and coughing up blood, the emperor actually promoted her by two levels, and directly became a concubine by skipping the concubine, everyone, think about it, is this possible? Qi Liang said.

"Yes, according to the emperor's temperament, it stands to reason that he really shouldn't do this." Ling Pu nodded.

"Hmph, I dare to pack the ticket, the reason why the emperor promoted the noble person to be a good concubine at that time, and also named the eighth elder brother as a beizi, was just for two things. One, face! The emperor is the lord of a country, and he can't lose face. Although most of the people present at that time were from the court, Mo Jing and Luo Xin, as well as Ferdinand, Yu Zhong, and Ma De, were outsiders. At that time, Concubine Liang looked bitter, and the two women were obviously on her side, if the emperor didn't give Concubine Liang a comfort, how would he face his subordinates? The emperor has always prided himself as 'fair'. …… Second, that's the reason for the master. Master, you are the prince, the emperor takes care of your face, of course he can't lose his temper with you in front of his subordinates, but he is angry. What to do? There is only one way to warn you, the master! Isn't it the best way to make a noble concubine? Qi Liang smugly said his reasoning.

"Yes, Lord Qi has a point. It seems that the emperor still values the master very much, otherwise, he would not always think about taking care of your face! Lao Zhibi said.

"Hmmm! ......" Yinren's face turned slightly pale, and he nodded.

"We can't be too optimistic! …… Although the emperor still values the master very much, our situation is not good now! This struggle for the throne has always been a means of internal and external attack. Although there is no pearl on the eldest brother's side, there is still the support of Concubine Hui in the palace; The master is different, Empress Xiaochengren has been driving early, Suo Xiang is also banned now, and we have no big names inside and outside the stage, this is not a good sign! Ling Pu reminded everyone.

"Zu Yin, why don't you speak?" Yinren frowned again, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Xu Zuyin who was meditating with his eyes closed, and asked.

"Master, the slave only has a few words, I don't know if I should say it or not!" Xu Zuyin arched his hand and said.

"If you have something to say, don't hide it!" Yinren said.

"Wow! …… Master, the slave thinks that in the current situation, if we want to be invincible, we should do nothing. As long as you can keep your mind calm, don't get angry, don't provoke anyone, and be careful not to fall for anyone's tricks, it is enough to defeat the enemy! Xu Zuyin said slowly.

"Brother Duanjin, why are you talking nonsense again? Now the big brother must be trying to take advantage of the master's frustration to take advantage of the situation, if we don't fight back, won't we be pulled down by them? When the time comes, if something happens to the master, what will you do? Will Big Brother still spare you? Ling Pu was dissatisfied. Around him, Qi Liang and Lao Zhibi also had the same expression.

"Zu Yin, make it clear to the palace!" Yinren also said coldly. If he is provoked, he will not be allowed to fight back, it is simply a humiliation for him! As a crown prince, he must not be challenged to his authority and remain indifferent.

"Master......" Xu Zuyin sighed secretly, and continued: "Since ancient times, soldiers have won battles, and if the strength of the two sides is about the same, the defenders will inevitably take advantage. Now the master and the eldest brother can't help anyone, this is like two armies of equal strength! …… The eldest brother wants to compete for the crown prince, just like the attacking side; The master is already the crown prince, just like the party defending the city. Master, since we and the eldest brother have entered a stalemate, and we are not sure of victory, why do you have to send troops out to fight the eldest brother? …… Why don't you sit in the city, consume the strength of the eldest brother, and wait until his army is weak, and then counterattack in one fell swoop and defeat him completely? …… Even if the eldest brother will not attack dangerously, and the military strength is not much lost, as long as the master you hold the city tightly, and wait until the emperor is a hundred years later, you ascend the throne, and the eldest brother is still captured by you? ”

"Brother Duanjin, only defend and not attack, this is a taboo for soldiers!" Ling Pu shook his head in disagreement.

"Lord Ling! We only defend and don't attack, but the master still has a reinforcement! If this support soldier makes a move...... Hum! Xu Zuyin sneered twice, and a slight look of smugness appeared on his face.

"Reinforcements? Where is it? Brother Duanzhen, who do you mean? Lao Zhi asked.

"Today's four phases, none of them have intervened between the palace and the boss, and most of the powerful people have avoided us, and the palace really wants to know who this 'reinforcement' in your mouth is Zuyin." Yinren also said on the side.

"The master's reinforcements are ...... Emperor! Xu Zuyin squinted his eyes and spoke amazingly.

"The Emperor (Huang Ama)?"

"That's right! Master, since the emperor has made you the crown prince, he will not allow others to bully you casually! Because behind you is the emperor himself! …… You didn't recruit people to provoke people, but someone came to you for trouble, isn't this not a son for the emperor? You say, can the emperor spare these guys? If the emperor makes a move, who in the world can resist it? Xu Zuyin replied.

"Not bad...... You can say that again! Zuyin, you really deserve the name of 'resourceful'. Attack without attacking! That's true! How powerful is Huang Ama's means? The boss and I must be the one who makes the first move and the one who is unlucky, but if we don't move, the unlucky one must be the boss! Hahaha, in the future, I will do what Zuyin said! …… This time, I want to see what the boss can do to me! Yinren laughed.

**********

Early the next morning, Xu Zuyin left Yinren's courtyard, and it was Ling Pu who saw him off.

"Brother Duanjin, you showed your might yesterday! In the future, the crown prince will be crowned with a great treasure, and you will definitely be indispensable to the position of minister of the study......" Letting the mount walk slowly, Ling Pu congratulated Xu Zuyin.

"Lord Ling, you still don't say these things that don't matter now. Actually, you and I both understand that our master is not an easy person to stop...... As long as the eldest brother provokes a little, I'm afraid that our side will immediately be full of flames. Xu Zuyin sighed.

"......" Hearing Xu Zuyin's obviously disrespectful words, Ling Pu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

"Lord Ling, what do you know?" Seeing Ling Pu's expression, Xu Zuyin immediately understood, and couldn't help but ask.

"Alas, Brother Duanjin, you really have a fancy for our master! …… Yes, our master is indeed not a person who will stop! Ling Pu sighed too.

"What's wrong with him, prince?" Xu Zuyin asked.

"Brother Duanjin. The master has an order, you have to find a way to make the two Huai salt merchants not go to Anhui to sell salt this time! Lingpu said.

"Anhui? …… The master wants to deal with that Mader? Xu Zuyin exclaimed.
