It was night, shortly after Yang Hao left the palace, many things quietly happened in Danyang City.

Prince's Mansion.

It was already dark, but the prince's study was still brightly lit, and the prince Xiong Ai was still reviewing the memorial.

The Emperor of Chu was already very old. Except for some extremely important matters, most of the memorials submitted by the courtiers were sent directly to the Prince's Mansion for review and approval by the Prince.

Suddenly, a eunuch about fifty years old walked into the door of the study.

This eunuch, whose surname is Sun Mingliben, is the chief eunuch of the Prince's Mansion.

Sun Liben walked to the prince's case, bowed and coughed twice.

The prince raised his head, looked at Sun Liben, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Sun Liben whispered: "Your Highness, Crown Prince Yang has just left the Forbidden Palace."

The prince was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "So late? It seems that Prince Yang is having dinner with his father."

Sun Liben said: "Your Highness, the news from the palace is indeed true."

The prince said: "Old Sun, it's better not to inquire about the news from our father."

Sun Liben hurriedly bowed and said: "I obey your orders!"

The prince thought for a moment, put down the memorial in his hand, stood up, and said, "Let's go to Teacher Yu."

A few moments later, the prince and Sun Liben arrived in front of a small courtyard in the mansion.

Entering the small courtyard, along the path paved with bluestones, the two of them walked all the way to a lighted wing. Sun Liben spoke up first: "Mr. Yu, the prince is here to visit!"

Soon, the door of the wing opened, and a thin old man appeared at the door. He slightly cupped his hands towards the prince and said, "Your Highness!"

The prince also bowed his hands slightly and said, "Teacher, excuse me!"

The thin old man smiled and said: "Your Highness is serious! Your Highness, please come in!"

As he spoke, the old man stretched out his hand to guide him.

The prince walked into the room, glanced at the desk, and said with a smile: "Teacher, Master Jian has another letter?"

The old man also walked to the desk, picked up a letter on the table, handed it to the prince, and said: "Your Highness, I have been reading the books of sages for decades, but now I have not read the letters of senior brother for several days.

I feel so confused!"

Master Jian in the hands of the prince is none other than Jian Fang.

Although Jian Fang resigned as the prince's tutor more than three years ago, to this day, whenever the prince mentions Jian Fang, he still refers to him as his tutor.

And the old man who called Jian Fang his senior brother was Jian Fang's junior fellow student, whose surname was Yu and his name was Gu.

Jian Fang's disciple came from the Guo sect, a sect of Hongru. There were seven disciples in total, all of whom were erudite and great Confucians. They were praised as the Seven Gentlemen of the Guo sect by the great Chu people.

Among the seven gentlemen, in terms of order of entry, Jian Fang ranks first, and Yu Gu ranks third.

More than three years ago, when Jian Fang resigned as the prince's tutor, he recommended Yu Gu to the Emperor of Chu and the prince, and Yu Gu became the prince's tutor from then on.

The prince unfolded the letter, walked to the lamp, and read it carefully, the look between his brows and eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

After reading the letter, the prince folded it carefully and praised: "Master Jian is a great talent! If all the states in our country, Chu, govern according to Ningyuan's method, they will be prosperous in just a few years!"

Yu Gu smiled slightly, took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to the prince, and said: "Your Highness is here tonight, presumably for the heir of the Yang family. Your Highness, please read this letter."

The prince handed the letter in his hand back to Yu Gu, then took the letter from Yu Gu. When he opened it, he found that this letter was much simpler than the previous one, with only a few sentences.

The prince quickly read the letter and then nodded to Sun Liben.

Sun Liben bowed slightly, then turned around and left the room, closed the door, stood at the door, held his breath and listened carefully to all the movements within a few feet of the side room.

The prince held the letter in his hand, read it again, and then said: "Teacher, it seems that Master Jian also wants me to talk to Prince Yang face to face."

Yu Gu said: "I hate to see this Prince Yang too late!"

The prince frowned slightly and said, "Teacher, I'm just afraid of my father..."

Halfway through his words, the prince stopped talking.

Yu Gu smiled and said: "Your Highness is overly worried! If what I have predicted is correct, Your Majesty should also hope that Your Highness can have a face-to-face talk with the Yang family's heir apparent."

The prince thought for a moment, his frown gradually relaxed, and he clasped his fists at Yu Gu and said, "Thank you, teacher, for reminding me! It's true that I worried too much."

Yu Gu replied: "Your Highness is just in the middle of the game."

The prince pondered for a moment, then furrowed his brows slightly, and said: "Prince Yang's coming to the capital must be difficult every step of the way. I'm worried that after inviting Crown Prince Yang to come to the house to talk about it, he will be criticized even more."

A hint of admiration flashed in Yu Gu's eyes, and he said: "Your Highness, I heard that as soon as Crown Prince Yang arrived in the capital today, he was taken directly into the palace by Chief Yu before he returned to the Duke's Mansion?"

The prince said: "Teacher, that's exactly what it is. Prince Yang also had dinner with his father and just left the imperial city not long ago."

Yu Gu smiled and said: "Your Highness, with Crown Prince Yang doing this, does your Highness still need to worry?"

The prince's eyes lit up slightly, and he saluted Yu Gu again: "Thank you teacher for your guidance!"

------

Prince Yong's Mansion.

King Yong's study was also brightly lit.

However, just as there is only the prince in the prince's study, at this moment, there are many people present in King Yong's study.

Sitting on the main seat is naturally King Yong Xiong Wu, who ranks second among the twelve princes of Emperor Chu.

In front of Xiong Wu, sitting on the left and right sides were Ning Wang Xiong Yan, Cheng Wang Xiong Zhen, Yu Wang Xiong Xiong, Wu Wang Xiong Lu and Wei Wang Xiong Qi. These five princes were among the twelve princes of the Chu Emperor.

Ranked fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth and ninth.

These five people, plus King Yong, now have half of the twelve princes of Dachu gathered in the study.

"Second brother, you should make up your mind! Father has been talking to this boy for so long. Are you planning to implement Ningyuan's things?" King Wei Xiong said anxiously.

"Lao Jiu, please keep your voice down and don't worry." Cheng Wang Xiong Zhen frowned and said.

"Fourth brother, this is imminent, why don't you worry? How much have we lost in revenue in the past few years? If my father really fully implements those things in Dachu, how will we live in the future?" Xiong Yu said.

Xiong Wu raised his hand to signal Xiong Ping to calm down, then looked at Ning Wang Xiong Wei and asked: "Fourth brother, you are the most resourceful. In your opinion, does my father really have this intention?"

Hearing this, the other people also turned their attention to Xiong Wei.

Xiong Wei frowned slightly and said: "Second brother, dear brothers, as far as today's matter is concerned, my father specially appointed Yang Hao to Beijing to receive the seal this time, I'm afraid it's just for today's meeting."

"Fourth brother, you mean that my father had a plan in advance?" King Yu Xiong Ji asked.

"Brothers, Lao Jiu, I think what the fourth brother said makes sense." King Wu Xiong said.

"Father, you are really old and confused! How many civil and military officials in this dynasty do not object to those things from Ningyuan?" Xiong Xi said angrily.

"Lao Jiu, stop talking nonsense!" Xiong Shu scolded.

"That's right! Father..." Xiong Xi muttered.

"Lao Jiu, be careful what you say!" Xiong Wu frowned.

This time, Xiong Xi didn't dare to say anything.

"Fourth, do you think my father is ready to fully implement Ningyuan's method in Dachu?" Xiong Wu looked at Xiong Yan again and asked.

Xiong Wei pondered for a moment and said: "Second brother, my father will not do this before the war is over. Otherwise, Chao Gang will be shaken, which will be detrimental to the war."

"Fourth brother, you mean that once the war is over, my father will do this?" Xiong Ji said.

"Yes." Xiong Yan nodded and said: "Second brother, dear brothers, if we win this battle, my father will most likely use the power of victory to carry out Ningyuan's method. After all, Ningyuan's frontier army will be the main force in this battle.

Once the main force wins a big victory and implements Ningyuan's method, the resistance will be much smaller."

"So, this battle can't be won yet?" Xiong Xi interjected.

"Lao Jiu! How dare you say this?!" Xiong Zhen scolded again.

Seeing the other people looking at him, Xiong Xi hurriedly said: "That's what I said. Of course I hope our Dachu can win!"

"Second brother, fourth brother, if my father really implements this matter, I'm afraid the person in charge must be the prince." Xiong Ji frowned.

At this moment, the expressions of the other people darkened.

This matter is what they are most worried about.

"Sixth brother, what's the point of worrying about this? Now Master Jian is serving as the chief official in Ningyuan, and Master Yu has become the prince's mentor. Once Ningyuan's method is implemented, it is certain that the prince will be in charge. The prince can do it well.

Chess!" Xiong Lu sighed.

When the other people heard this, their expressions became increasingly ugly. Xiong Wu's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were full of gloom.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xiong Xi shouted again: "Second brother, brothers, please don't say anything! We have to find a way to come out!"

Xiong Yan frowned and said: "The initiator of Ning Yuan's method is Yang Hao. If we want to stop Ning Yuan's method, the matter will have to fall on him."

"This kid is a disaster! If we let him continue like this, what's the point of being a prince?" Xiong Xiang's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he suppressed his voice and said: "Second brother, brothers,

How about we take advantage of this guy in the capital and give him..." As he said this, Xiong Peng made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Ninth brother!" Xiong Lu frowned and said, "You will suffer a big loss sooner or later with your mouth!"

Xiong Lu and Xiong Lu were born to different concubines of the Emperor of Chu, and their birth dates were within a few days of each other. Therefore, Xiong Lu did not care about Xiong Lu as much as he did the other princes here.

Seeing Xiong Lu teaching him a lesson, Xiong Peng pinched his neck. Just as he was about to retort, Xiong Ji said: "Lao Jiu, as our brothers are princes, this is definitely not feasible!"

"Brother Six, this won't work, that won't work either. Are we just going to let this kid harm us?" Xiong Xi said unconvinced.

Xiong Ji thought for a moment, looked at Xiong Wu and Xiong Yan and said: "Second brother, fourth brother, I think it is not a bad idea to kill this son while he is in Beijing. I am afraid that if this happens, the Yang family will be completely pushed away.

On the side of the prince."

"Lao Liu, Mr. Jian has been a long history of Ningyuan, don't you think the Yang family's attitude is not obvious enough? Moreover, if you can kill this son with the vigor, you can also beat those wallflowers." Xiong Shu said.

Xiong Wu and Xiong Yan looked at each other, Xiong Wu nodded imperceptibly, and Xiong Yan thought for a while and said: "Since all the kings brothers have this idea, it would be better to kill him with the courage to kill him. Prince brothers, look at it,

Is this so good?"
