The next day, Shen Fei walked into the courtyard full of alcohol and teased the ladies in the courtyard at will, causing the ladies to laugh. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he is handsome, and he is naturally full of temptation for this group of women who are rarely moistened by rain and dew, and there are even a few of them, who don't care about the royal decency, and stepped forward to touch Shen Fei's strong chest muscles, until the appearance of the third prince's serious face did he leave stupidly.

"Shen Daozun, how did you rest yesterday?" The third prince slowly stepped forward and bowed his hand to Shen Fei, Qianqian was standing behind him, but he had already changed into a lighter clothes. Speaking of which, this woman is really amazing, not only can she manipulate the rhythm to disturb the mood of others, but she can also be regarded as a last resort, Yin Shen Fei, and her stealth skills are also very good, I really don't know where the teacher is, what is the purpose of approaching the third prince, does she really think that she can help the third prince ascend to the throne by herself?

Thinking like this, Shen Fei greeted the third prince with a smile: "The prince's bed here is really comfortable and soft, if it weren't for a burden to follow him, I really want to stay for a few more days." ”

The third prince had already heard about Shen Fei's little tail, Nalan Ruoxue, and immediately understood what he was talking about, and said with a smile: "Shen Daozun, don't want this king to say that you, it is much better to have a woman who knows cold and hot by your side to warm the bed than to spend all day drinking." ”

Shen Fei looked behind him and showed a secretive smile: "What the prince said is extremely true, what he said is extremely true. ”

Qianqian was impatient by his gaze and snorted heavily.

"Hahaha, Shen Daozun, the meal has been prepared, please move. ”

"I want to eat His Royal Highness the prince again. ”

"If Shen Daozun likes it, send a chef to you. ”

"It's better not to, it's good that our relationship exists in private, and it shouldn't be too public, so as not to cause the hostility of the Buddha to you. ”

"Daozun thinks about me everywhere, and this king is grateful. ”

"You're welcome. Shen Fei was disdainful in his heart, and said secretly, you have the title of this king, where is the meaning of gratitude to me.

The two of them strolled to the hall where they had dinner yesterday, this courtyard is not luxurious and magnificent in Jinling City, but the interior is chic, and there are many servants, probably purchased early in the morning to come to live regularly. The two men stepped into the hall, and from beginning to end, Qianqian followed behind the prince, behaving very deferentially, completely different from the attitude he had in private last night.

Shen Fei couldn't know what their relationship was in private, so he pulled out a chair for the prince and beckoned him to sit down first, and he sat next to him. It was the first time that His Royal Highness the Taoist Prince, who was so good at taking care of people, had seen it for the first time, and he was really a little uncomfortable, so he smiled even more happily, pointed to the food on the table and said, "Some side dishes, I don't know if they are in line with Daozun's taste." ”

Shen Fei looked at the table and saw that there were all kinds of delicate side dishes on the round tabletop, including crystal clear steamed dumplings, lively shrimp porridge, and pickles that looked ordinary but obviously added special processes.

"His Royal Highness the prince has a meal, and we have been eating food on the mountain for a month, and I feel full of appetite when I see it. "Shen Fei deliberately behaved greedily in front of the prince.

"Hahaha, since you have already gone down the mountain, you have to follow the host, eat all the fireworks in the world, come, move the chopsticks, Shen Daozun. ”

"Hahaha, what His Royal Highness the Prince said is very true, and Shen understands it. Bowing his head and drinking two mouthfuls of porridge, Shen Fei smashed the taste as if he had intentionally, and said unintentionally, "Your Royal Highness, you came to Jinling to pick up the old emperor's errand, what is it for?" ”

The third prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Since it is my own person, there is no need to hide it from Shen Daozun, my father sent this king to Jinling to rectify the defense of Jinling City." ”

"Rectify defense?" Shen Fei was puzzled.

"Jinling City has been occupied by local forces for a long time, and the government is in vain, and it is difficult to achieve even the most basic defense, which is really worrying, so my father sent this king here to rectify the defense of this place. ”

"I see. Shen Fei took a deep breath, "But as far as I know, the current state of Jinling City is not an overnight thing, why did the old emperor suddenly remember to rectify the defense of this place." ”

"Hehe, it's not because of the fight between the eldest brother and the tenth brother. ”

"I don't understand that. "Shen Fei didn't know much about the power structure in the court, so he really couldn't guess the hidden secret.

The third prince showed a stern expression, looking very helpless: "The eldest brother and the tenth brother have fought repeatedly openly and secretly, and the direction of the struggle is all over the country.

Although my father is old, he is a person who understands, he knows what Jinling City means to the two of them, and he was reluctant to move here easily, but because of the repeated comments of the tenth brother, and the problem of negligence in defense here, he secretly sent me here to investigate the situation. Seeing that Shen Fei still looked like he was in the clouds, the third prince explained: "My eldest brother's mother is the empress Murong Yunqing, Murong is one of the most powerful nobles in the empire, Murong Nan, the elder brother of Empress Murong, has occupied the position of the right prime minister of the dynasty for a long time, and her younger brother Murong Baishi is entrenched in Jinling City, ranking one of the four major families in Jinling. ”

"I see. Shen Fei suddenly realized, "It turns out that the Murong family, one of the four major families in Jinling, is the queen mother of the dynasty behind it. It is no wonder that the Ten Princes tried to rectify the defense of this place, this is to insert their own forces into it, break the pattern of Jinling City's long-term monopoly, and a steady stream of money to the imperial capital. ”

Shen Fei pondered again, and said in a low tone: "But, Your Royal Highness, with all due respect, this errand given to you by the old emperor is a chore. If you don't do it well, it is very likely that you will offend the two most powerful princes. ”

Shen Daozun said in one sentence. This king is here in Jinling, if he lets go of the rectification of the defense, he will offend the power of the eldest brother's family, and let the defense continue to be vacant, he will offend the tenth brother, and no matter what he does, he will not be pleased. ”

"What I don't understand is why the old emperor would give such a difficult bone to you, Your Highness. ”

"In my opinion, there are two possibilities, the first possibility is that within the empire, the princes have stood in line, and I am a relatively neutral one, and I have always been forbearing, so it is most appropriate for my father to send me here. The second possibility is that I guess my father is probably also testing me, this king has done a few errands before and has done quite well, quite in line with my father's wishes, but he has always been low-key, not inconspicuous, not dewy, so my father wants to test me to see if I am really capable of solving all aspects of the problem. ”

"Is it possible that the old emperor wants to send your Highness here to be the city lord here?"

"Being a city lord? I really haven't thought about it. The third prince's expression changed.

Shen Fei said: "Jinling is the most prosperous place in the empire, and the old emperor attaches great importance to you, but in the imperial capital, there are already two princes fighting for each other, and the supreme position has nothing to do with you in the emperor's eyes, so he specially sent you here to take over the position of the city lord, and to be the city lord of a rich place can be regarded as an explanation for the rest of your life." ”

"This ......" Shen Fei said this, and the third prince immediately lowered his eyebrows, "It is not completely impossible to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the imperial capital and go to a flowery place to be the city lord for pleasure, but it is not what this king wants." ”

"So Your Royal Highness, what do you think you should do in the future?" Shen Fei continued to ask urgently.

"What does Shen Daozun mean?"

"I think we should stand still!"

"Hold still. ”

"Since the prince is here to receive the emperor's mission, he should actively contact the local city defense officials, make friends with the local strange people, and do nothing else until the old emperor has clear instructions for the next step.

In the imperial capital, the situation is unpredictable, in fact, it is a good thing to be able to shrink here and wait for the opportunity. ”

"But what if my father has not given any further instructions, and what if my father forgets this king. ”

"There will always be a chance, when the battle between the eldest prince and the tenth prince reaches its climax, it will be the prince's chance to reappear, before that, just meditate and accumulate strength. ”

"As a prince, how can you sit still and wait for death. ”

"What does the prince think he should be now? ”

"Accumulating strength is a must, but in addition to that, I have to take the initiative to let my father see the achievements of this king. ”

"What does the prince want?"

"I can't move the power of the eldest brother, and the local forces in Jinling City will never be eradicated, but the power of Buddhism can be supported, and I will implore my father to contribute funds to build a magnificent temple outside Jinling City to attract holy monks to come. ”

"The prince wants to curry favor with the Buddha Sect and lead the Buddha Sect to fight with the local forces?"

"My father has always spared no effort to show favor to Buddhism, and when the king returned to pay the errand, he told his father the truth about the damage to the temple here, and did not mention anything about the local power and defense problems, and then suggested that such a flowery city could not lack a magnificent temple, and asked his father to allocate funds to build the largest temple in the empire second only to the Lingyin Temple in the imperial capital. In this way, not only did he show favor to Buddhism, but he also bypassed the problem of defense and avoided the fight between the eldest brother and the tenth brother, so that he could retreat with his whole body, which was the best of both worlds. ”

"This ......" Shen Fei took a deep breath, looked at the prince intently, and found that his head was wide, the Yin Hall was glowing, and the bun line was quite high, and nodded, "It's still the prince who thinks thoughtfully, and Shen admires it." ”

The three princes' conspiracy really made Shen Fei awe-inspired, and he had a different understanding of the person in front of him, indeed, Jinling City is a hot potato, whether it is peeled or not, it is always uncomfortable to hold in his hand, only by throwing the potato out can he be alone, so it is necessary to introduce a third-party force, to introduce a force that others have to fear, this is Buddhism. What Jinling City lacks is not only defense, but also the construction of temples, the huge Jinling City does not even talk about a decent temple to talk about any decency, for this reason, put aside the defense, only mention the problem of temple construction, can skillfully avoid the fight between the two princes, get out, and give the old emperor the answer he wants.

After all, he is a person who has played politics since he was a child, and he is much more powerful than his own little cleverness! Shen Fei was really impressed by the three princes, but at the same time he understood that this assertion undoubtedly proved once again the intention of the three princes to win over Buddhism, and the sworn enemy of Buddhism, Daozong, the prince would not openly support it, and it was impossible to even support it secretly.

"Hey, while you use others, others are also using you, and it's so fucking tiring to live in this treacherous world. Shen Fei couldn't help but feel a little frustrated in his heart, he had been in a state of being hit since yesterday. First of all, he was yin by a girl of the same age as himself, and capsized in the gutter; and then in today's judgment, he did not think comprehensively enough, and he planted his head in front of the prince, and lost face twice in a row in two days, and it was only in front of a prince who survived from the cracks and the forces behind him, if he went to the imperial capital in the current situation and met with the eldest prince and the tenth prince, I don't know how big a person he would lose.

Sure enough, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, and he was taught a good lesson again, and Shen Fei was deeply aware of his shallowness. He arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the prince is far-sighted and meticulous, and I admire him." My Dao Sect was able to take refuge in His Royal Highness the Prince, and it should be the right person. ”

"Eh, Shen Daozun praised it too much, after all, this king is in the royal family, and he has been exposed to too many things since he was a child, and it is normal to think tactfully when encountering problems. But he is only good at politics, and in other aspects, he has to rely on Shen Daozun and Qianqian for more support. ”

"This is natural, Your Royal Highness, please rest assured, my Dao Sect will definitely fully support your ascension to the throne. ”

"Thank you. ”

The two continued to eat, and Shen Fei couldn't help but think: "Although the third prince is more powerful than he imagined, he is too hypocritical, after all, he can't help himself complete the missionary task, but he still has to find someone, even if he doesn't have such a city, as long as he has enough determination and courage, and is willing to complete the seemingly impossible task with me, walk out of an unprecedented road, and create a great event that shocks the world and weeps ghosts and gods, it is enough, and I am willing to assist him wholeheartedly." ”

People are like this, the Tao is different, they don't conspire with each other, he and the three princes can only be the objects of mutual use, and they can't reach the point of a community of destiny, Shen Fei has to wait for a prince who can reach a community of interests with him. Bet on the cherished life and dignity to complete the prosperity and reproduction of the Taoist sect in the world!

Just thinking about it, suddenly a subordinate walked in, leaned near the third prince, and whispered a few words, the latter showed a trace of apology after listening to the subordinate person's confession, and said to Shen Fei: "Shen Daozun, you continue to eat here, this king will come when he goes." ”
