Chapter 74: Words from the East Palace

Eunuch Cao hurriedly responded respectfully: "The prince pays attention to the relationship between flesh and blood, and the wise king is wise and upright. Each has its own benefits."

The emperor then smiled and said: "You have been with me for decades, and now you have learned how to look at others! It's really cold at high places!"

Seeing that the emperor was a little sad, Eunuch Cao hurriedly said: "This is really the true feeling of a servant. I wonder what the emperor thinks of the two of them?"

The emperor sighed: "The prince just wanted to make me believe that he loves and protects his brothers. Only he knows how true his heart is! The wise king is not bad. It is not that he does not take advantage of his direct descendants, which is a pity.

Besides, there is another problem with him: he is too devoted, and there must be a limit to respecting his legitimate wife! It would be enough if he could just be a prince, but if he wants to go further, there is something wrong with him!"

Besides, when the prince returned to the East Palace and saw the Crown Princess Wu, he said displeasedly: "Don't have any contact with your sister's family in the future. They are a bunch of people who fail to achieve anything but fail!"

The Crown Princess hurriedly lowered her eyebrows and Noonuo agreed. The new favorites of the Crown Prince next to her all had contempt in their eyes, and they felt that they were very promising in the future.

In fact, the prince is a typical tyrannical master.

Most of the ministers were following the emperor's preference, but a considerable number of ministers had already made friends with the wise king. The prince became impatient and would take it out on his wives and concubines if he didn't get his way. This was just because he was afraid of being slandered.

, outside they were still pretending to be a loving couple with the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess has been married to him for more than ten years, and has long been a little numb. Occasionally, she will feel cruel: This is how I will treat myself now. If I really become the emperor in the future, I will be old and yellow by then, and I don’t know where I will be thrown into.

, it would be better to just be a crown princess for the rest of her life.

It's a pity that her father and others were so stunned by the glory of the queen's mother's family that they were always worried that the prince would be replaced by a wise king, so they stayed in the camp all day long. But according to her cold eyes, as long as the prince stayed honest and did not cause trouble, the emperor would not dare to replace the prince easily.

In the early years, she had tried to persuade the prince and her father, but they always scolded her for being a woman, so she didn't bother to care about it and just settled down to be her princess.

When the prince came to the study, Xu Jie, the prince's adviser, stepped forward and asked: "The emperor may ask about the affairs of the Shen and Jin families, and how did the prince answer?"

After hearing the question, the prince couldn't help but feel guilty.

The prince has long heard the rumors about the Shen family, and used to make fun of the Shen family. It was only today that he found out that he was actually related to his sixth brother.

He and his uncle had long thought of taking this opportunity to clean up the Shen Mansion and let the wise king see his own interests.

But Xu Jie tried his best to stop him: "Marquis Shen is a sensible man and will not get involved in the prince's affair. Why should your highness push him to the side of the wise king!"

Wu Tianyou said: "The wise king is his son-in-law, why did he leave the father-in-law position and only be willing to be a marquis? Besides, in a few years, the world will be peaceful, and once the power in his hands is taken away, he will be just a virtual prince.

, he will side with the wise king sooner or later. Why not find an opportunity to clip his wings now? Even if the wise king gets him, it will be useless!"

The prince also felt that it made sense and nodded frequently.

Regarding Wu Tianyou's villainy, Xu Jie sighed, but still earnestly advised the prince: "Just such a small thing, apart from making it difficult for his girl to marry, it really can't be seen that it can sway Marquis Shen.

In a place of high status, if the prince cuts off the Marquis of Shen, he must hit him with one shot, so that he cannot stand up again, otherwise he will fail to fight the tiger and suffer the consequences."

The prince was impatient with Xu Jie's noise, so he had to agree to just stand aside and never interfere in the affairs of Shen's house.

Unfortunately, the plan did not change as quickly as it did. The prince was provoked by the wise king's remarks on the way, so he lost control and finally made a crooked idea in front of the emperor.

Being pressed by Xu Jie at this time, the prince couldn't help but murmured, and finally said angrily: "Although my father used this matter to test Gu, Gu has never been favored by his father. If he is dealt with fairly, he can let his sixth brother sacrifice his reputation and fulfill his wishes." In the Shen family, my father will definitely be displeased that I don't care about brotherhood. Now that I have protected my sixth brother and violated the law, my father will also dislike me! No matter what I do, it is wrong, and I feel unhappy. It would be better if everyone It's not a pleasant journey together, and it makes King Xian very upset. Not only does the Yue family have a bad reputation, but also having such a brother-in-law, I feel much better just thinking about it."

Xu Jie couldn't help but stamp his feet and sighed after hearing this.

But Wu Tianyou also quietly came to the East Palace at this time to ask about this matter.

The prince smiled and recounted the situation in detail, and Wu Tianyou also said: "Let the third lady of the Shen family marry such a useless person, not only will it not be a help to the wise king, but it will also hinder him! Look at the wise king. Why don’t you pretend to be wise and mighty? Sooner or later, Marquis Shen will stand up to the wise king, just in time to warn him!"

These words were in line with the prince's wishes, and he was quite happy both physically and mentally. For a moment, both uncle and nephew burst into laughter.

Xu Jie shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness, why are you like this? As long as you don't take the initiative and act as your crown prince, no one can try to take you down. You must know that more mistakes will be made. This time is fine. I hope the prince will do more in the future." Take precautions. If you can't guarantee that the snake will hit you seven inches, it's better to take less action. Besides, this matter was agreed upon by us together, so why did we get involved so easily."

The prince couldn't help but said angrily: "I am not a three-year-old child, so I naturally have my own ideas about what to do! I heard that my husband has been in poor health these days, so he should go back early to recuperate!"

Xu Jie let out a long breath and said, "Thank you for your concern, Prince. I will take my leave now!" After that, Xu Jie held his head high and left.

Wu Tianyou looked at his background and said disdainfully: "Because I served in front of the Taizu back then, now I have learned how to behave in front of His Highness the Crown Prince! The Crown Prince is too indulgent of him."

The prince knew that his uncle was not convinced by Xu Jie, so he looked at Wu Tianyou and sneered: "If my uncle can be half as capable as him, I will send him away."

This Xu Jie also has some background.

When Taizu founded the Qi Dynasty, in order to stabilize the people's hearts and establish rules for the world, he established the eldest son - the current emperor as the crown prince. And because he knew that his eldest grandson was mediocre in intelligence, he was afraid that the brothers would be in trouble, so he gave up several advisers around him to He married the emperor’s eldest grandson, the current crown prince.

Due to various reasons, Xu Jie was the only one who still abided by Taizu's instructions and stayed with the prince to advise him. Therefore, the prince also respected him very much.

Wu Tianyou couldn't help but kept silent and laughed with him.

Although Father Shen did not dare to bury nails in the palace in order to guess the emperor's will, today he got help from a caring person. That night, he knew what the prince said in the East Palace. At this time, he was sitting in the room reading a book, thinking about running away. .

It was late autumn now, and the evening was getting colder. Mrs. Shen took a coat and helped her husband put it on her body.

Father Shen looked at his wife and smiled reluctantly, then frowned again.

Mrs. Shen thought that he was still worried about her daughter, so she explained: "Today's impeachment of the imperial censor and your statement in the court have spread throughout the capital. I think most people understand this matter by now." The ins and outs of the matter, Emperor Kuang has sent people to investigate the matter, so why do you need to worry here!"

Father Shen sighed: "Qiu'er's matter will definitely be solved properly. I'm just worried about the prince: I originally wanted to be a pure minister. When I married Xi'er to the Yongtai Marquis Mansion, I had an impartial attitude. Unexpectedly, My painstaking efforts still cannot dispel the prince's suspicion."

Mrs. Shen also sat down next to her husband and said: "The prince is incompetent and suspicious, but he is very suspicious! It's no wonder that he is your son-in-law. After all, the wise king is your son-in-law. Even others may not believe you, let alone him!" I want to say that the wise king is a good one. Why don’t you support him as the emperor and fulfill the prince’s wish?”

Father Shen smiled bitterly: "Okay, what are you talking about? Who will be the winner in the future is still unknown! No matter which of the two of them ascends the throne, I will not be reused, but I can keep the whole family safe. .”

Father Shen continued: "But once I help the wise king, it won't matter if I win, but if I lose, the entire Shen family will be in danger! Besides, he has a bad reputation. Of course, he can't be elected as the prince. He must have thought that I harbor evil intentions. Ah! But today, I found out that the prince has long regarded me as a wise king, so I couldn’t help but plan it carefully!"

In the courtyard outside the city, Uncle Yu has heard what happened in the court today and is hesitant as to whether he should tell the Sixth Prince or not.

At this time, a young man knocked on the door and entered the room, saying: "Uncle Yu, Yang Yuan has been out for a day and a night, and now there is no news. Do you want me to take a few brothers to have a look."

Uncle Yu looked at the pen in his hand and said calmly: "If he succeeds, he should be back early this morning. If he doesn't come back now, there must be an accident! You haven't been exposed yet. It's not good at this time. Appearing in front of others, as for how he is, it only depends on his own destiny."

The young man had a sad look on his face and whispered: "Yes!"

Seeing that he was about to withdraw, Uncle Yu asked, "Do you know who he is going to kill?"

The young man hurriedly said: "I don't know! This is the order given by Xiao Chengzi. It seems that some blind thing has played tricks on me, so I must take his life, otherwise it will not be enough to quell the anger in my heart!" "

Uncle Yu's hand stopped when he was about to write, and he couldn't help but said to himself: "Could it be that Second Young Master Jin?"

The young man shook his head and said, "That's unknown."

Uncle Yu hurriedly said: "Zhou Shaoze, please go everywhere and leave secret notes, tell Yang Yuan, and stop the assassination immediately!"

Zhou Shaoze said: "Then do you still want to send this letter?"

"You go and do this first. The matter of sending the letter is not urgent for now."

Zhou Shaoze was busy going out without mentioning his actions. He only said that the wise king was in the study outside at this time. He closed his eyes and thought with a smile on his face: Lord Shen should have learned what the prince said, and he should also understand that in the eyes of outsiders, he and himself You are a grasshopper on a rope, don't try to follow the path of pure ministers and live alone!

As for the prince, don't think that the matter only ends here. You will still suffer in the future. A thousand-mile embankment will collapse in an ant nest. If things go on like this, your father will be completely disappointed in you.

If Shen Qiujun can be forced to marry Jin Er, the hidden danger in his mind will be eliminated.
