Chapter 499: Response
When the eldest prince was six years old, he became the eldest prince's teacher, and it has been thirty years now. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the past 30 years, he has been difficult step by step.
Although the eldest prince is Yan Hao's eldest son, because he is not dripping out, and there is no strong background behind him, he is at a disadvantage in the battle for the throne.
More than ten years ago, after Yan Yufeng got the status of the crown prince, Yan Yubin's situation became even more difficult.
The eldest prince here has long since lost the prestige of the past, the prince is constantly monitoring and suppressing, and there are other princes who are constantly pressuring the eldest prince, wanting to step on the eldest prince, so don't look at Yan Yubin as the eldest prince, in fact, the hardships inside are really not enough for outsiders.
What's more, in the state of Chu, Emperor Yan Hao's health is still very good, so for the eldest prince, who is the most threatening to his throne, Emperor Yan Hao is naturally vigilant in his heart, in recent years, maybe in order to support the crown prince, or not to let the eldest prince threaten him, the power in the eldest prince's hands is not strong, and it has been restricted by Emperor Yan Hao.
For example, the Great Prince managed to develop a few manpower in the White Elephant Legion, but it didn't take long for these people who were bought by the Great Prince to die directly when they went out to fight the barbarians.
Whether this 'death' really died at the hands of the barbarians, or died in the conspiracy of some people, it is obvious.
Once, twice, such a thing happened, which can be explained by the bad luck of these people and were directly killed by the barbarians, but the same thing happened seven or eight times, then even a fool knows that there must be something wrong here.
For this matter, Yan Yubin and they have also carefully investigated, before they thought that it was done by the crown prince or other princes, but in the end, all kinds of signs showed that this matter was done by the emperor.
As soon as they found out that this matter was related to the emperor, Yan Yubin was full of anger in their hearts, and they didn't dare to investigate any further, so they could only end it in a hurry, and then no longer pursue it.
With the strength of Emperor Yan Hao, in fact, there are many ways to hide the end of this matter without any flaws, so that the eldest prince Yan Yubin and they can't find out if they check each other, but Yan Yubin and they can easily find out the mastermind who did this matter.
Obviously, the emperor just wanted to tell them that he did this, and he did not allow the eldest prince's hand to reach into the White Elephant Legion and kill those who were bought by the eldest prince, just to give the eldest prince a warning.
With the emperor's personal admonition this time, Yan Yubin and they are becoming more and more cautious in their actions.
Many things began to give up, and some of the forces above the surface also gave up directly, which made the eldest prince Yan Yubin suffer great losses.
Over the years, Yuan Mingyan has been trembling, barely relying on his prestige in the hearts of the world's scholars to support the eldest prince and maintain the possibility of the eldest prince ascending to the throne, but it is a bit too much to really let the eldest prince gain the upper hand in this battle for the throne.
Seeing that the strength of the crown prince is stronger year by year, and the strength of the eldest prince is declining year by year, and the other princes are catching up more and more closely behind, Yuan Mingyan is worried in his heart, but he is helpless.
Therefore, under such exhaustion, Yuan Mingyan's body and bones are not as good as day by day.
Fortunately, when Yuan Mingyan was studying before, he also practiced martial arts at the same time, although his strength was not strong, but in the past forty or fifty years, he also had the cultivation of the eighth layer of the day after tomorrow, so Yuan Mingyan was able to finally persevere.
"Your Highness, please calm your anger, Lin Lixuan is a person from the prince's side, and the prince got the fire armor cow, now it seems that it is inevitable to send it again, even if His Highness is angry now, it will be useless. Yuan Mingyan persuaded with a flat face, Lin Lixuan is Lin Yizhi's son, Lin Yizhi is Lin Renquan's son, and Lin Renquan is definitely the prince's diehard, so no matter how angry the prince is, it will not help, and in the end, the prince will still get the fire armor cow.
"Alas....... , originally thought that if the prince lost Qingzhou, he would be greatly injured, but he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, the prince would get such a big gold mine, alas, ........!" Yuan Mingyan sighed secretly in his heart, to be honest, after learning the news, Yuan Mingyan suffered a bigger blow than the eldest prince.
However, Yuan Mingyan can think about such a thing in his heart, and he will definitely not show it on his face again, otherwise, the eldest prince will be hit even worse.
"Could it be that His Royal Highness watched the crown prince get the big gold mine of the Fire Armor Cow like this, and watched the prince ascend to the throne like this, and in the end, I was at the mercy of them? Master Yuan, I don't want to be directly imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion by my younger brother, and in the rest of the time, I will always face the closed four walls of the Zongren Mansion. The eldest prince Yan Yubin said word by word from between his teeth, and there was even fear in the depths of his eyes.
The things in the Zongren Mansion are very clear to the eldest prince Yan Yubin.
Yes, after entering the Zongren Mansion, his life is safe, but this is actually equivalent to being in prison, and it is still life imprisonment.
Yuan Mingyan sighed: "Alas........ Your Highness, you should be cautious, now in this form, even if we want to do something, we can't do anything, Your Highness will not forget our Emperor His Majesty, His Majesty has personally taken action before, if we are now directly confronting the prince's side, maybe a bad one, and there will be other incidents, so now for us, we can only follow the prince's wishes, and then wait for the opportunity to do it in the future. ”
"Hmph.........!" The eldest prince Yan Yubin sneered a few times in his mouth, and then said: "Waiting for the opportunity, hehe, Master Yuan, I'm afraid that the prince and they have tasted the sweetness, and they will be out of control, and when the time comes, if we want to make a move, it will be too late." If the White Elephant Legion is really subdued by the prince, then it will be completely impossible for us to fight with the prince again!"
Yuan Mingyan shook his head directly and said: "Your Highness, you can rest assured that the prince will not dare to blatantly attack the White Elephant Legion, Your Highness, don't forget, we will suffer the emperor's blow before, and it is also because we put our hand into the White Elephant Legion, so if the prince does not put his hand into the White Elephant Legion, the emperor will also attack the prince."
What's more, Your Highness, don't forget, in addition to us, there are also the Seven Princes, the Ninth Emperor, and the Thirteenth Prince, who are also peeking at the emperor's throne, they will definitely not sit idly by and watch the prince put his hand into the White Elephant Legion, the prince already has the Purple Dragon Legion in his hand, plus Lin Renquan's Praetorian Guard, he originally surpassed other princes in terms of strength, and now if he gets the White Elephant Legion again, then the other princes will no longer have to compete with the prince for the throne, and they will directly throw themselves in.
Therefore, Your Royal Highness, the prince and the other princes, there are also many contradictions, and the other princes will definitely secretly deal with the prince. Now that the prince has just lost Qingzhou, it is the weakest time, and it is also the best way to deal with it, I expect that those princes will definitely not let go of this opportunity, it will not be long before there will be a dragon fight between the prince and other princes, and at that time, we will have a chance. ”
The eldest prince listened to Yuan Mingyan's words silently, and at this time, his face was much better, and Yuan Mingyan's words were indeed reasonable.
Now is the time when the prince's strength is at its lowest, and now is the best opportunity to deal with the prince.
If it weren't for the fact that he had just been cleaned up by the emperor before, and his strength had been greatly reduced, he would not have missed such a good opportunity to appear in front of him, so the eldest prince believed that his ambitious younger brothers would definitely not let go of this good opportunity to deal with the crown prince.
Thinking of this, Yan Yubin's face finally calmed down.
Yan Yubin picked up a piece of things on the table, looked at it for a long time, and then asked, "Master Yuan, who is this Lin Lixuan? When did the Lin family have this person again, why hadn't you heard of this person before?"
"Hehe.........!" Yuan Mingyan smiled slightly, and then said: "Your Highness, after the old minister read this information before, he asked the people below to check on Lin Lixuan, speaking of which, this matter is actually a scandal in Lin Houye's mansion, this Lin Lixuan is actually Lin Yizhi's son, and his mother is Shi Fangying." ”
"Shi Fangying?!How is this possible, if Lin Lixuan's mother is Shi Fangying, then how could he not have a voice at all before?" the eldest prince Yan Yubin asked very strangely.
Shi Fangying is now the owner of the back house of Marquis Lin's mansion, as her son, her status in Marquis Lin's mansion is definitely very high, how could such a person have never heard of it before.
"Your Highness, there's a reason for this. Yuan Mingyan began to explain to Yan Yubin why Lin Ze was Shi Fangying's own son, but the reason why he was still so unknown before.
After hearing Yuan Mingyan's explanation, Yan Yubin directly understood, "Hehe, I can't imagine that there is such a thing here, it's really interesting!"
"Master Yuan, do you think we can do something here, Lin Lixuan has been treated like this for more than ten years before, and there must be anger in his heart, in this case, we will have the opportunity to sow discord. Yan Yubin said with bright eyes.
"Your Highness is wise, we do have the opportunity to do something about this. ”..............
