The second dog heard the news that Lin Piao was on his side, which was a rare thing, and hurried over.

When I got to the door, I looked up and saw my little sister-in-law, and I smiled: "Little sister-in-law, how can I remember that I am here today, fortunately I have luck, otherwise I will not be able to bump into it a little later." ”

As the dog spoke, he withdrew the people on the left and right: "Is there something wrong with the little sister-in-law?" ”

"I heard about Erzhu's summons, and now that Shen Hong has not returned to his home, it has spread all over the outside, so I will ask you first, otherwise it will be difficult for you two to meet at that time."

Ergou nodded and sat down next to him: "Little sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about this, isn't it good that Erzhu can come back sooner?" ”

The emperor was already suspicious, and it was normal for him to be afraid of Erzhu at this time, and Erzhu looked stupid, but it was precisely because he was stupid enough, straightforward in his work, and able to take into account the most down-to-earth places when thinking about others, that he could win the hearts of the people in this way.

But he won the hearts of the people so much, was admired and respected by so much, and thousands of people of different races did not accept Daning and the emperor, but they were very respectful of Erzhu.

Lin Piao shook his head: "I said that I want to give marriage again, I always feel that the emperor doesn't want to give marriage to Erzhu and Yu Niang, I'm worried that it's another marriage, and it will be a big controversy at that time." ”

The second dog nodded: "That's true, let's see." ”

He also felt that the emperor would do something to cut the two pillars, and marriage was the best place to start at the moment, especially if the two pillars had someone they liked.

The second dog looked at Lin Piao: "Little sister-in-law, you don't have to worry, if something really happens, we secretly give him a pocket, the affairs of the court are complicated, the emperor is fickle and suspicious, so he can only go and see, when the matter was just announced, I also chatted with Shen Hong on the way to the court, he wants to go to the household department, and there are people to see later, but our meaning is the same, if the emperor really wants to do something, we will not stand idly by." ”

On the way, Shen Hong had already hinted at him, the birds were all gone, and the good bow was hidden.

Erzhu's performance was too eye-catching, and the emperor couldn't clean him up with confidence, but the follow-up suppression was definitely fierce.

Shen Hong asked him to observe the direction of the two pillars, and not to show the slightest sympathy for the two pillars, it was better to make the emperor feel that he was interceding, but in fact he was arching the fire, expecting the two pillars to be more unlucky, so that they could act well, and the emperor would further trust him more in these matters.

Lin Piao nodded: "It's good that you know in your hearts, as soon as I heard about this today, I knew that the emperor didn't have any good intentions, and I was afraid that he wanted to do something to Erzhu, with you here, the matter of Erzhu is also a lot more reassuring, these things on the table are for you, I wandered around the street, bought a lot of things, chose a few things you like to eat, and some new things." ”

The second dog nodded: "Sister-in-law Xie, I just look forward to you coming to see me, otherwise I will be bored to death if I hold myself here all day." ”

"Are you still bored? You're out socializing all day long, and the threshold of the people who invite you to cook the bureau is going to be broken for you. ”

"Where is it better to eat with others than to eat with your own family, when you go out to eat with others, it is others who are happy, and when you are happy to eat with your own family, where can it be the same thing."

When Lin Piao heard him say this, he also sighed with some emotion: "It's also hard for you, but it's good to boil it up again, and it will be fine in the future." ”

Ergou nodded: "Naturally, we will definitely get better and better in the future." ”

After Lin Piao finished talking to Ergou here, he ended the last visit and returned to the mansion, so he went around outside, and when he went back, he happened to bump into Shen Hong, he had just come back from outside, his face was slightly tense, his expression was calm and cold, but Lin Piao had been with him for many years, and knew that his expression was displeased.

When Shen Hong saw Lin Piao, his expression softened a little, his eyes were gentle, and he nodded at him.

Lin Piao looked at him: "Shen Hong, what happened?" ”

Shen Hong shook his head: "It's okay, Your Majesty wants to summon Erzhu back and give Erzhu a marriage, and then we will be busy." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "I've heard about this too, you haven't come back yet, I went to Ergou's side on purpose." ”

Shen Hong stepped forward and grabbed Lin Piao's hand: "This matter needs to be considered in the long run, you don't have to be in a hurry." ”

Shen Hong knew that although Lin Piao was sometimes not alert and smart, he could sense that something was wrong in many things, so when he heard the news, he hurried to Ergou's side, and Piao'er should have begun to feel uneasy in his heart.

Lin Piao nodded, he went to see Ergou, Ergou also said this to himself, and now when he comes back, Shen Hong also said this to him, it can be seen that they all want to appease themselves and let the family not worry, so they smiled.

"Auntie and Jade Niang must be very happy now."

"Yes, I'm going to prepare tomorrow, and invite my aunt and Yu Niang to come and get together."

Lin Piao nodded.

On the second day of the meeting, although the second aunt and Yu Niang were also a little worried, they were very happy with their eyebrows and smiles.

While waiting for the return of the second pillar, there was a small episode, that is, a rumor suddenly appeared in Shangjing, saying that the second prince was not the real heir to the throne, and that his throne was not from the right background.

In the words, it is a secret that although the second prince quelled the palace rebellion at the beginning, he also launched the second palace rebellion without the knowledge of everyone, otherwise he would not have obtained everything today.

This rumor spread very quickly, and by the time it reached the imperial palace and the ears of the emperor, basically half of the people in Beijing had heard about it.

The emperor was furious, and asked Dali Temple to immediately catch the people who spread such rumors, and arrested a few shadow puppet actors, but they didn't curb anything.

After that, the emperor set his sights on several of his good brothers, rumors do not always appear for no reason, there is always a purpose to do things, there must be someone secretly watching the throne, wanting to fish in troubled waters.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, he did not throw the princes to the fiefdom, because he was afraid that the country would be unstable, and they would make some trouble in private, so he used the excuse of brotherhood and couldn't bear them to leave, so he left them in the mansion in Shangjing until now.

The emperor's anger frightened the princes and the prince's mother's concubine family, and they ran to the emperor three times a day, crying with tears on their faces: "Your Majesty, there is no such thing, Your Majesty treats us like a mountain, how dare we!" I've never thought about it even a little bit! ”

The prince and the concubines worked high-intensity shifts, and the emperor was also baptized with high intensity, and after several days of trouble, he did not catch any substantial evidence, so the emperor could only appease them a few words, saying that he was not suspicious of them, but he was afraid that someone would want to fish in troubled waters, so he let them go down first.

The emperor stared at it for a while, and in the end there was no clue or clue, and he raised his guard against those princes, so he put this matter down first.

Because at this time, Li Huchen returned to Shangjing.

The emperor personally went to the gate of Shangjing to greet him, allowed Li Huchen to enter the palace without removing his armor, and held a banquet with his ministers to baptize him.

At the banquet, Erzhu drank some wine, and anyway, he fell asleep when he drank wine, and he would not talk nonsense, and it happened that the emperor also toasted him, and the ministers also toasted him, and on the first day he returned, he was happy in his heart, and there was no reason not to drink.

After three rounds of drinking, the emperor mentioned the matter of marriage, talking about his dedication to his family and country, and his peers have now been scattered, but he is not yet married, as the emperor, he wants to worry about the lifelong affairs of the great hero.

Erzhu was full of joy, and when he heard what the emperor said, he felt that the smell of wine in his body was cold.

The emperor personally granted marriage to Li Huchen and the 15-year-old granddaughter of the Qi family, and the generation of the Qi family and Erzhu of the same age, both men and women, were basically married, and General Qi Xiaozhu was the youngest, one year younger than Erzhu, and the oldest was in his thirties.

General Qi is the eldest elder of the Qi family, and General Qi Xiao's father is now three out of fifty, and this 15-year-old little sister of the Qi family is the granddaughter of General Qi and the eldest daughter of Qi Lao's second.

Although there is not much difference in age, it is already a generation behind Erzhu.

What's more, what Erzhu wants is Yu Niang, and what he wants to marry is his Yu Cheng.

As soon as Erzhu heard the emperor say this, his first reaction was to walk out quickly, kneel under His Royal Highness, and clench his fists: "Your Majesty! The minister already has a favorite person! How can I delay Miss Qi again. ”

The emperor was immediately furious, thinking that he had swept the face of the Qi family, did not recognize his good intentions, and that a word of disrespect for the decree fell, and the second pillar still could not bow his head.

He wants to be a general, he has to marry his beloved girl, and even the marriage has to be used to welcome him, so he is not the general in Yu Niang's heart.

The emperor reprimanded him and did not punish him, but he brushed his sleeves and left at the banquet, and such a Hongmen banquet was lightly unloaded The victory of the two pillars returned, and the mountains roared like a tsunami.

People seem to have forgotten that this banquet was originally intended to reward the two pillars, not to make things difficult, and that if the emperor wanted to reward him sincerely, he should have let him get what he wanted, not to put on such a big show.

The Yu Niang family is nothing compared to the magnates in Shangjing, and there is no such thing as marrying to make the prestige of the two pillars even more fearful.

"The emperor's move kills two birds with one stone, not only unloading the prestige of Erzhu, making him a joke, making people despise his ignorance of current affairs, but also provoking contradictions between him and the Qi family, the Qi family is loyal and patriotic, the emperor said that they want to get married, even if they are unwilling to marry their granddaughters, if they are ready to give up everything, but Erzhu still refuses to take over, I am afraid that they will also have resentment in their hearts, at least they will feel that he is not 'loyal' enough, and from then on they will look down on him no matter what." Lin Piao sighed, the emperor is really too proficient in power arts, he doesn't need to make a big move, and he doesn't need many people to cooperate with him to perform, so he just makes a little appearance and sets up a stage, and this scene will automatically sing.

Shen Hong looked at Lin Piao: "He calculated that Huchen would not agree." ”

Lin Piao said: "He naturally knows that Erzhu is stubborn and straightforward, and he has a jade girl, so he will definitely not agree, and he chose to drink three rounds, heh, because he is afraid that Erzhu will not stand up and refute." ”

"But he doesn't dare to move the second pillar now, unload his momentum and put him in Shangjing, and let him have a quiet life for a while."

After Lin Piao heard what he said, his eyes suddenly saw him: "I heard about the edict before, is there really that thing?" Did the first emperor really not pass the throne to the second prince before he died? Or does he already have a candidate in mind? ”

Shen Hong looked sideways at Lin Piao: "Piao'er, the fourth prince launched a palace change, and the second prince is on the side of the Qing monarch, but the fourth prince did not kill His Majesty." ”

So how could the first emperor leave the throne to the second prince?

When he thought that the second prince, who was the most filial and obedient to him, came to the rescue successfully, and when he thought that he had escaped the catastrophe, he found that the second prince was his real disaster.

Lin Piao didn't ask too many details about the palace change at the beginning, but he also knew that there was a palace wall, and many earth-shattering things had happened inside.

Lin Piao looked at Shen Hong with curiosity: "Is there an edict in the end?" ”

Shen Hong shook his head.

"No?"

"I don't know."

Lin Piao was a little regretful: "It would be nice if there were, the emperor is estimated to be able to die in a hurry, he himself is not in the right position, and he is estimated to have a void in his heart, see how he still plays with the power of the emperor in his hands and shows off his prestige." ”

Shen Hong smiled: "I hope." ”

……

Erzhu lived in the general's mansion and was in a very bad mood, and Lin Piao went over to see him a few times, and he was a little sullen.

"Little sister-in-law, this place in Beijing is really good for me, everything is good outside, and there will always be something wrong when I come back."

Lin Piao could only comfort him: "No matter how well everything goes well, some people don't go well anywhere, when you still have a good time outside, besides, things will always pass, and now is the emperor's whim, and then it will pass." ”

Erzhu nodded: "I went to find the people of the Qi family, they were not very happy, but I told them clearly, I have someone I like early in the morning, and the marriage contract has been set, although I didn't say it everywhere, but the people around me should know that they all know, and the Qi family didn't say anything, saying that I valued love and righteousness, so I didn't have to take it to heart too much, and it was over." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "We have always had a friendship with the Qi family, and the relationship is good, they will not be angry because of this matter, not to mention that their little granddaughter is delicate, and they themselves may not be willing to marry you like this, they must choose the one that suits their hearts and has to be liked by the little girl." ”

It was because Erzhu had a lot of contact with the Qi family, and the Qi family did not think that Erzhu had made great contributions and looked down on the Qi family, knowing that he was such a character, and he had always been like this, and he didn't care too much, and he didn't know what they thought in their hearts, at least on the surface, they didn't mean to want Erzhu to give an explanation.

Erzhu nodded, feeling that the current situation was at least not too bad: "It's a pity that Yu Niang, she has been waiting for me for a long time, and now she has been delayed by this incident, and she can't get married when she is in the limelight, so why wait a few more months." ”

In a few months, there is no telling what will happen.

Lin Piao looked at Erzhu's side face, his life was stable now, but he had a feeling of walking on thin ice, as if somewhere, if they didn't take the right step, they were about to collapse from above.

But Lin Piao could only feel this kind of crisis, but he couldn't grasp the details in his hands, and his current life was still calm and quiet.

The emperor was in the palace and was playing chess with Li Lingyue.

Li Lingyue respectfully knelt opposite the emperor, insisted on the chess pieces falling, and talked about the matter of Huchen, the emperor had many sighs.

"He has a really violent temper, and he still needs to sharpen his minions, otherwise it will be embarrassing."

Li Lingyue played chess on the opposite side: "What Your Majesty said is true, but Huchen grew up in the countryside, and he has always been like this, he doesn't have much thought, and he does things recklessly, and now he stays in Shangjing, just to sharpen his temper." ”

Chu Yu looked at Li Lingyue with a light smile, his mouth was good, his brotherhood was deep, and he supported him to keep Li Huchen in Shangjing, that is, to erase all his merits, he fought the foreign countries, but he was not there at the end, and half of the credit for such a good job can only account for three points at most now.

"You and him are worthy of being brothers, and you think deeply about him."

Li Lingyue nodded: "Your Majesty, I grew up with him, so I naturally know how bad his temperament is, and it will inevitably cause a big disaster in the long run, and Your Majesty's intention to polish him is really good." ”

It's clearly intercession, but it's actually belittling.

The emperor thought Li Lingyue was very interesting, he was on the throne, overlooking every move of these people, every word and deed, and he had a full view of everything.

Now that the war has been calmed down, with such a thing as □□, Li Huchen is no longer an indispensable existence, and even without a fierce general like Li Huchen, as long as there is a □□, Daning's army can still pacify the Quartet.

Although Li Huchen is now separated from Shen Hong, if Shen Hong really exerts his strength and wants to control Li Huchen, Li Huchen is still in Shen Hong's pocket.

Now that he has broken this game, he already has Li Lingyue, a chess piece, and then he can solve Li Huchen, Shen Hong will not be able to support himself, and when he needs to abandon Shen Hong a few years later, he will not be attacked by Shen Hong because of his actions.

He could not say this to anyone, but he knew very well in his heart that he would give Li Huchen the supreme glory and finally give him the most solemn honor, but at most by the end of this year, Li Huchen would have to die, no matter what the reason.

Li Lingyue lowered his eyes to play chess, and only glanced at the faint smile on the emperor's face.

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind.

That's how this game is played.

It's just a matter of who is better than whom.
