Chapter 49: On the eve of the landslide and tsunami
The person who sent away Lan Yu, Zhu Di felt uneasy, and hurriedly recruited Changshi Ge Cheng to inform Lan Yu of the gift.
"He's giving gifts again?" Ge Cheng was stunned.
Zhu Di nodded secretly.
is still a long history and talented, and I saw that something was wrong. And the eunuchs in the palace were arranged by Tianfu, and they were all eunuchs who got into the eyes of money.
Thinking of the virtues of the eunuchs in the palace, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel depressed, no one could handle it, how could he dare to use it as a confidant.
"Last year, not only the prince went north, but also the Marquis of Yongchang was ordered to go west, the prince won the battle, and the Marquis of Yongchang also won a big victory, and the credit was no less than that of the prince."
"So we don't dare to offend him." Zhu Di said helplessly.
Ge Cheng showed an expression that should be so.
Everyone in the court knows that the Marquis of Yongchang is the sword left by the emperor to the prince, and the Marquis of Yongchang has always been loyal to the prince.
Whether it is the prestige of the Marquis of Yongchang in the army, or his relationship with the prince of the court, King Yan is really difficult to deal with the Marquis of Yongchang.
"A few years ago, the prince was ordered to be the right Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, and soon after, the Marquis of Yongchang led the army to return to the dynasty victoriously, and then gave a heavy gift alone, the refusal of the prince's righteous words, it stands to reason that the Marquis of Yongchang should not be this time."
Just after the analysis, Ge Cheng felt ridiculous, and couldn't help laughing: "Could it be that the Marquis of Yongchang has a hobby of giving gifts to the prince." ”
"Hmph, the weasel greets the chicken, he is uneasy and kind." Zhu Di's face was ugly, he hesitated, and finally revealed a hidden matter between their brothers to a trustworthy long history.
"That gift wasn't just for us." Zhu Di's face was complicated, there was happiness, pride, and fear.
"My subordinates know about it." Ge Cheng understood.
In that year, the emperor changed the main courtyard of Dazong to Zongrenfu, and King Jin of Qin was appointed as Zongling and Zuo Zongzheng, and the positions of the two were still above King Yan.
"yes, everyone knows it." Zhu Di muttered.
"Is there anything else that is hidden?" Seeing King Yan's expression, Ge Cheng felt that things were not so simple.
When it comes to the emotional contradictions between their brothers, Zhu Di was originally reluctant to reveal it, but today's Lan Yu's behavior made Zhu Di feel dangerous.
"Later, when we got together for a drink in Yingtianfu, the eldest brother told us about Lanyu directly. Although the eldest brother didn't care about this matter, and took the initiative to expose Lan Yu's conspiracy, it also made the second and third brothers who were blindfolded extremely ashamed. ”
Zhu Di looked at Ge Cheng cautiously, "You don't know the embarrassment on the faces of our second brother and third brother at that time, and I can't wait to get into the empty table." ”
The more he talked, the more he hated, although he escaped the catastrophe, but Zhu Di hated the same enemy, and said angrily: "Lan Yu deliberately gave a gift to our vassal king, the second brother and the third brother accepted his gift according to the number of gifts, and returned the gift to him, who would have thought that he would behave like such a villain, and turn around and specifically tell the prince." ”
Ge Cheng understood where King Yan's anger came from, and pointed out the essence of the matter, "There was nothing to do, but as soon as the Marquis of Yongchang fiddled with it like this, King Qin and King Jin became not human inside and out, and he was disgusted by the merits of winning over the court, no wonder he was ashamed in front of the prince." ”
"Yongchang Hou's move is not stupid!" Ge Cheng figured out what was going on and sighed.
"He's smart, he's too smart." Zhu Di couldn't help but scold.
Compared to King Yan's anger, Ge Cheng could understand the behavior of Marquis Yongchang.
Yongchang Hou is very smart.
The purpose of his means of dividing the relationship between the prince's brothers is for the prince, because the prince is too good to his younger brothers.
However, the methods of the Marquis of Yongchang were too unscrupulous, and he did not take the vassal king into account at all.
This kind of behavior without a vassal king in his eyes, even he can empathize with himself, not to mention King Yan, presumably King Qin and King Jin hate Marquis Yongchang even more.
can make King Yan, who has always been deep in the city, angry to such a point, Yongchang Hou really has the ability.
"He suddenly gave a gift to the prince again, is it really because he won the battle last year and gained a lot, so he is filial to the prince?"
Ge Cheng worried.
Zhu Di heard Changshi's worries, and sneered on his face.
If other generals would care about their vassal kings, Zhu Di would believe it, but Lan Yu's words, he didn't even believe a word.
"The prince is not in good health." Zhu Di finally revealed the news that only a few people in the whole Beiping Mansion knew.
Ge Cheng's smile immediately stopped, and his breathing couldn't help but get worse.
After a while, Ge Cheng, who gradually regained his composure, couldn't help but ask, "Is the news reliable?" Lord Wang, this matter cannot be sloppy, it will cause death. ”
Although Ge Cheng was a vassal of King Yan, he was also very familiar with the court, and the vassal had to know the movements of the court.
The emperor is old.
All his actions in the past two years have revolved around the crown prince and prepared for the prince's stable ascension to the throne.
If, what King Yan said was true, and the prince really had a bad one, Ge Cheng didn't dare to think about what kind of landslide and tsunami the court would usher in next.
Because the prince's badness means that the current power core collapses, and the aging emperor, how can he endure the pain of losing his son to deal with the next imperial succession.
The emperor is extremely strict with the crown prince, but everyone knows how strict the emperor is, how much he loves the prince.
Succeed here, fail here.
Now in the entire court, whether it is an official, a military general or a noble, all aspects are arranged by the emperor with the character of the prince and the relationship between the prince.
If the prince is there, he will be as stable as Mount Tai, and if the prince is not there, he will lose his balance.
"We have quietly discussed this matter with the second brother and the third brother in private." Zhu Di said worriedly. Although the brothers have a discord, they are all walking on thin ice in this matter.
"Lord Wang." Ge Cheng said heavily: "At this time, it's better not to do anything, so as not to respond to all changes." ”
"The second brother was already panicked, and he actually asked the long history of his mansion to search for the famous doctor in Xi'an and bring it to Yingtianfu." Zhu Di looked at Ge Cheng helplessly.
"Lan Yu suddenly gave a gift to the door, we lost our sense of proportion in our hearts, you help come up with an idea, my father knows that the second brother knows about the prince, let's continue to pretend not to know, will it cause more suspicion?"
Ge Cheng completely understood why King Yan would suddenly tell him these things.
King Yan is really calm.
Ge Cheng only felt heavy in his heart, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"Things have come to this point, the Qin Wangfu made a mistake first, our palace might as well follow the famous doctor, show people generously, hide it but it is easy to have problems, and emphasize the prince's concern for his brother, but he is worthy of his heart."
"Worthy of my heart." Zhu Di repeated, his expression was complicated, if only things were so simple.
Not only in the court and the army, but also in the division of their vassal kings by their father's emperor, which was also based on the eldest brother.
If the big brother is gone.
What will happen to their vassal kings? Zhu Di didn't believe that his father hadn't thought about it.
"The movement of the eldest prince should be smaller, and now in the palace, it is best not to have any movement, otherwise the greater the movement, the easier it is to have an accident." Ge Cheng didn't help the eldest prince anymore, but took the initiative to raise the question of the eldest prince.
He had already seen the great danger in the future, and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Will the crown prince be?" ”
Zhu Di nodded subconsciously.
Yao Guangxiao had already gone to Yingtianfu, and according to the news he sent back, the crown prince was already very bad.
Ge Cheng's eyes flashed slightly, no wonder some people said that King Yan was the most powerful of the vassal kings.
