To the northwest of the palace is a Xiude Fang, where most of the royal families lived, including the princely palaces of the three princes.

If you look at the construction area and scale alone, the palace is larger than the other two princes' mansions, which can also see Queen Xu's preference for the three princes.

The internal pattern of the palace can be seen everywhere ingenuity, pavilions and pavilions are scattered, and the scenery is quiet and elegant.

On the top of the Water Pavilion Wind Pavilion, the three princes leaned next to Gangan, boredomily throwing bait to tease the swimming fish in the pool, while chatting with Li Yunyi, who was sitting not far away.

The third prince squinted at Li Yunyi and said lightly: "Hou Yu is finished." ”

Li Yunyi frowned slightly and said, "Not really, right?" Although Nan Anhou has been in Chengzhou for more than ten years, he is our own person after all, and he controls one-third of the military power of Nanya, so everyone has to find a way to keep him. ”

The third prince understood what he meant by "everyone", and sneered: "If it's another problem, it's fine, even if it's killing good people or greedy for military salaries, there is still room for maneuver after all." But he shouldn't lie about the military situation and use swords and soldiers, if all the generals on the frontier follow his example, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Moreover, if it can be stopped before the father's decree, this matter can still be considered, and now that the father's will has been issued, let Lu Shen thoroughly investigate the case, do you think Hou Yu still has a chance to turn over? ”

Li Yunyi shook his head again and again, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

I usually didn't see that this irascible third prince still had such careful thinking.

The third prince continued: "At that time, the only person who could suspend my father's decision was your old minister, but unfortunately he didn't say anything. ”

Li Yunyi sighed lightly: "Your Highness should know that my grandfather has always stood very upright on the major issues of right and wrong. ”

The third prince shook his head and said: "This king has always admired the old man's personality, but in this matter, this king has to say that he is wrong." ”

Li Yunyi was slightly stunned, slightly puzzled.

The third prince slowly stood up, sprinkled all the bait in the small bowl in his hand into the pool, looked at the green scenery of early summer in the palace, and said quietly: "Your Li family can sit firmly in the position of the head of the Jiangnan Gate Valve, in addition to the ability of the old Xiangye and Ling Zun, it is also inseparable from the strong support of other gate valve families, this is a relationship that complements each other and relies on each other." This relationship has penetrated into all sides, no matter which side wants to break up, it will hurt itself, and the old man will not say a word about Hou Yu, and the consequences may be more serious than you think. ”

A chill appeared in Li Yunyi's heart.

He looked at the tall figure of the third prince, gradually came back to his senses, and said with his head bowed: "Thank you Your Highness for your guidance, I will find an opportunity to show my grandfather about this joint." ”

"This is your Li family's family matter, this king just mentioned it casually, and he can't treat it seriously."

The third prince waved his hand, and then changed his words and said: "Actually, the person who really caused trouble was Lu Shen, since he entered Beijing, there has been no peace in this city, and bad things have happened one after another." ”

Hearing him mention the young prince, Li Yunyi felt both angry and a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He could never forget the other party's actions in Alum Tower two years ago, which was a grievance and resentment that he had never felt before.

However, when Lu Shen was only a lieutenant of the Governor's Mansion, he had no way to deal with the other party, not to mention that Lu Shen was now the lord of the country and the general of the Southern Ya?

There is no problem for him, the name of the capital's big man, to scare ordinary people, and if he wants to suppress Lu Shen's stinky and hard temperament, I'm afraid it's not a fantasy.

The third prince turned his head to look at him and asked with interest, "Didn't your best friends help you come up with an idea to deal with him?" ”

Li Yunyi smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Your Highness, they are all good at boiling eagles and fighting dogs, and it is really difficult for them to expect these people to come up with a way to deal with Lu Shen." ”

The third prince shook his head and said, "Actually, you thought of Lu Shen too terrifyingly, and you didn't find that this person had a fatal weakness. ”

Li Yunyi's heart moved, and he was interested, and hurriedly asked, "Achilles' weakness?" Please also ask Your Highness to show me. ”

The third prince looked at the side and took two steps, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said calmly: "His weakness is that he is a person, as long as he dies, many problems in the capital can be solved." ”

Even though Li Yunyi has always been known for his boldness, he can't help but change color at this moment.

Seeing this, the third prince said disdainfully: "Look at this bit of courage. ”

Li Yunyi hesitated: "Your Highness, it's not that I'm too timid, but this matter is too big, not to mention that Lu Shen is the commander of the Beijing army, and there are so many guards around him, it's not so easy to kill." ”

"There is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days."

The third prince's tone was still calm, and he said indifferently: "This king doesn't believe that there are not a few masters at the bottom of the box around you, plus this king provides enough help, why is it difficult to find a chance to kill Lu Shen?" ”

Li Yunyi groaned: "Your Highness, aren't you worried that this matter will make Your Majesty angry? ”

There was a touch of complicated emotions in the eyes of the third prince, and he said slowly: "Father will definitely be angry, but if Lu Shen is allowed to continue to make trouble in the capital, there will be problems with the foundation of Daqi." In fact, from this point of view, the problems faced by the Heavenly Family and your Li Family are exactly the same. Every time Lu Shen slashes at the Jiangnan clan, the old Xiangye's situation will be more difficult, and if he is allowed to continue doing this, his father will also completely go to the opposite side of the Jiangnan clan. ”

Li Yunyi only felt that the third prince in front of him had become a little unfamiliar, this was still His Royal Highness the King of Jian, who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun?

But he still hesitated and said, "This is a big matter, Your Highness allows me to think about it again." ”

The third prince shook his head and smiled: "That's it, I have long known that you are a strong outsider, but it is just a trivial matter like killing someone, you have to grind and chirp like a mother-in-law." ”

Li Yunyi's face turned purple, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Since His Highness is interested, how can I be timid and retreat?" To tell you the truth, I wanted to kill Lu Shen, a barbarian, two years ago, but unfortunately I never had a suitable opportunity. ”

The third prince nodded with satisfaction: "That's right." Actually, you don't have to worry too much, now is a great opportunity. Lu Shen was ordered to investigate Hou Yu, he would definitely not be satisfied with pulling Hou Yu down alone, and he would definitely expand the case as much as possible. To put it simply, he is bound to offend a lot of people this time, and there are countless people who want to take revenge on him, and our people are hidden in it, which will not arouse suspicion at all. ”

Li Yunyi thought about it, it was indeed such a truth, and he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

The third prince continued: "As long as Lu Shen dies, my father will not continue to persecute the Jiangnan clan, the situation in Beijing can return to the previous state, and your old master does not have to be caught in the middle. In the final analysis, this is an ending that satisfies all forces, and this king can do it himself, but it is because of the friendship between you and me, so I pull you in to do it together. After the future is completed, you can also stand up in front of the old man because of this contribution. ”

After all, Li Yunyi is the son of the family who grew up, so he doesn't have no brains at all, if the third prince has to force him to find a way to assassinate Lu Shen today, he will definitely be 120,000 points of vigilance.

But the third prince only wants to cooperate with him, which is another matter.

After carefully going through it in his mind, Li Yunyi smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for taking care of you." ”

The third prince advised: "Before the matter is completed, don't reveal the news to anyone." ”

Li Yunyi bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, I know what to do." ”

The third prince breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "You only need to arrange two loyal and reliable henchmen in advance, and when the time comes, let them follow the king's men to act together." ”

Li Yunyi responded, and after gossiping for a while, he saluted and retired, obviously to plan the details of this matter.

The third prince stood quietly in the Wind Pavilion, staring at Li Yunyi's distant back, with a cold color floating in his eyes.

After a while, Empress Xu's maiden nephew, Xu Ruqing, walked into the Wind Pavilion and came to the side of the third prince.

The third prince said lightly: "Do you think Li Shizhi will fall out with this king because of this?" ”

Xu Ruqing, as the most trusted person of the three princes, knew almost all his secrets, and said with a little worry when he heard this: "In this case, why does His Royal Highness have to involve Li Sanlang?" If our people can't succeed, the masters raised by Li Sanlang may not be able to provide much help. ”

The third prince turned around and sat down at the stone table, and his tone was a little erratic: "Although Li Shizhi and some Jiangnan clans have secretly expressed their support for this king, this king always feels that he can't rest assured. Li Shizhi is calm and low-key in front of the world, but this king knows that he is not a simple person. Instead of passively accepting his kindness all the time, it is better to take this opportunity to pull Li Sanlang on the boat completely, so that there is always a little more protection, so as not to be sold by Li Shizhi in the future and count the silver tickets for him. ”

Xu Ruqing was silent.

The third prince looked up at him and said, "Cousin, you used to tell the queen mother about me, and I never blamed you, because I know that you and the queen mother really think about me." But this time against Lu Shen's killing, I hope you can keep it a secret and don't let the queen mother know, can you do it? ”

Xu Ruqing was stunned, looking at the coldness in the depths of the third prince's eyes, for some reason his heart trembled suddenly, and then nodded and said, "Obey." ”

The third prince smiled lightly, lowered his voice and said, "Very good, you can send someone to Jiangbei to invite that master over, I hope he can be worthy of the sixth place in the world that has been arranged for him in the market." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Xu Ruqing bowed down.

The third prince turned his head to look at the pond and summer, his slender fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, and he kept calculating the gains and losses in his mind.

Xu Ruqing looked at his young face and plucked up the courage to ask, "Your Highness, in fact, the villain still doesn't understand, why did you change your previous strategy?" ”

The so-called strategy naturally refers to the fact that the third prince used self-defiling to reduce the vigilance of the other two princes in the past, and now it can be seen from his determination to attack Lu Shen that he is unwilling to continue to pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of the world.

The third prince did not look back, and said calmly: "There are two reasons. One is that the dispute between the prince is about to surface, and since I want to fight, I naturally can't continue to be dull, otherwise it will only cause misjudgment to others. The second is that the father has already expressed his attitude, and the person he likes is not the boss or me, but the second guy. ”

"As for Lu Shen...... Actually, I didn't think about doing anything to him at first, but since he chose to stand on the side of the second child, and it also involved the interests of the Jiangnan family, then I can't be blamed for being ruthless. ”

He picked up the celadon teacup on the table and took a sip unhurriedly.
