Chapter 164 In the Royal City, the thoughts of all parties
And at this time.
There is a huge mansion in the royal city. There are three big characters engraved on the plaque outside the mansion, Nine Princes Mansion!
This is the residence of the Ninth Prince of the Tang Dynasty, which is where Chu Feng’s mother and Tang Yu lived when she was a child.
However, because of his illegitimate birth, Tang Yu was bullied by his elder brothers and sisters since childhood.
Nine Kings Mansion, front hall.
A fat old man dressed in luxurious clothes and had a big belly, savoring the finest tea while reading ancient books.
This fat old man is nothing else, but Tang Yu's father, the ninth prince of the Tang Dynasty, Tangshan!
"Dongdongdongdongdong."
After a sound of footsteps, the knock on the door came into Tangshan's ears again.
"Come in!"
With a creaking sound, the butler of the Jiuwang Mansion pushed the door open and entered.
"Prince, this is the latest information in the royal city."
The butler lowered his head and placed a piece of information in front of Tangshan.
Although Tangshan is the prince, the royal city is at the foot of the emperor. It is necessary for him to understand the movements of the entire royal city to avoid unintentional disasters!
"Um."
Tangshan put down the ancient books in his hand and began to read the information handed over by the butler.
The information at the beginning of the information is just a trivial matter in the court. Some officials quarrel, and some officials were found to be prostituted...
When Tangshan saw the last piece of information, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Now, Chu Zhan will come to Wangcheng as the commander of Wangcheng?"
Tangshan said in surprise.
The position of commander of the Wangcheng City is a popular one. I don’t know how many princes and ministers are thinking about this position, and Tangshan is no exception. He also wants his own people to hold this position, but no matter how he moves, the position has never been settled.
"Huh? Why are the two names Chu Zhan so familiar?"
Tangshan feels a little familiar, and seems to have heard of this name somewhere.
"Nine Prince, this Chu Zhan is the lord of Qingcheng City, that is, the husband of your daughter Tang Yu!"
The housekeeper next to him reminded.
"What?"
"It's him!"
Tangshan's face showed a look of surprise again.
Since Tang Yuyuan married Qingcheng and was not by his side, he almost forgot that he had such a daughter!
This shows how unfamiliar Tang Yu is so unattracted by Tangshan!
Tangshan almost forgot Tang Yu, let alone Chu Zhan, the son-in-law!
"Butler, Chu Zhan has no money and power, how did he get the position of commander of the royal city?"
Tangshan's face showed a look of confusion.
Even the Ninth Prince of the Tang Dynasty, it was extremely difficult for him to bring his own people to the position of the royal city commander, let alone a small Qingcheng City Lord.
"Prince, I heard that this Chu Zhan has a good relationship with the six princes of the Dongjun County County Magistrate. Perhaps it was because of their relationship that he took up the position of commander of the royal city."
"However, there is another saying, that Chu Zhan was valued by the king and was promoted to the commander of the royal city. I heard that it was not the officials of the Ministry of Personnel who went to Qingcheng to announce the imperial edict at that time, but the prince's personal eunuch, Eunuch Li!"
The housekeeper explained.
Because the information compiled by the butler is very concise and can only record what happened, but not record what happened and why, Tangshan doesn't know the reason just by looking at the information.
"What?"
"This Chu Zhan actually had a good relationship with the Sixth Prince, and he might be valued by the king!"
Tangshan felt very surprised.
After recalling just now, he remembered Chu Zhan. In his impression, Chu Zhan was mediocre and had no advantages at all. How could he suddenly get along with the Sixth Prince, and even be valued by the king?
"Prince, no matter what means Chu Zhan uses to get the position of the royal city, do you think we have to send someone to congratulate him when he arrives at the royal city? Why do you say that he is your son-in-law!"
The housekeeper reminded.
"No, not bad, this Chu Zhan is my son-in-law. When he comes to the royal city, I naturally have to visit him!"
Tangshan grinned and smiled.
It is not important that the son-in-law is not a son-in-law. The key is that the commander of the royal city is an important position, so he naturally has to go and get familiar with Chu Zhan. What's more, Chu Zhan has also had a good relationship with the sixth prince Tang Chen, and even received the attention of the Tang King. This is even more worthy of the joy to see if he can take the boat of Tang Chen and even the Tang King.
Although Tangshan is the Ninth Prince of the Tang Dynasty, he is very majestic, but the water in the royal city is deep, even if he is walking on thin ice, he is worried that when he wakes up tomorrow morning, the royal city will suddenly change and become the dead soul under someone else’s sword!
"Then the Ninth Prince, I'll go down and prepare the gift now!"
"Um."
Just as the butler said goodbye and was about to leave the front hall, Tang Shan added: "Remember, prepare a great gift!"
"yes!"
...
Royal Palace, Tang Yong's bedroom.
"Those two women were so clingy yesterday. My prince's waist was about to break!"
Tang Yong was sleepy, rubbed his waist, and got up from the bed.
Although he was complaining, he could clearly see what he was savoring.
Just as he opened the door and was about to go out for some "nutrition", Xu Hong happened to come towards him.
"Fourth Prince, report important matters." Xu Hong whispered.
"Yeah, come in and talk."
Since Xu Hong has something to report, Tang Yong temporarily put aside his "nutrition" plan.
After closing the door, Xu Hong said, "Fourth Prince, this is the thing..."
In the next half a day, Xu Hong told the story of Chu Zhanhui coming to Wangcheng as the commander of Wangcheng and the imperial edict that Eunuch Li went to Qingcheng to read.
After hearing this, Tang Yong's face suddenly darkened.
The position of commander of the royal city is very important and is the goal of all parties' competition. However, if Chu Zhan takes over, Tang Yong will feel regretful, but he will not look ugly.
But the key is that Eunuch Li, the personal eunuch of the King of Tang, would actually go to Qingcheng to read the imperial edict in person, which made him realize something was wrong!
That is, his father has begun to show kindness to Chu Feng and Shushan Sword Sect. This means that Tang Chen, who had won over Chu Feng's father before, was one step ahead when he was fighting with him for the position of Tang King. No, it was a big step, and this is very likely a decisive step!
"The fourth prince, the king promoted Chu Zhan as the commander of the royal city for the first time, which is a very obvious signal."
"The king is showing kindness to Chu Feng and the Shushan Sword Sect, and Chu Feng's father was pulled over to Tang Chen's command. This is very unfavorable for the four princes to compete for the throne!"
As the number one counselor under Tang Yong, Xu Hong naturally saw something different.
"I know."
"It seems that I underestimated the importance of this Chu Zhan. By the way, when will this Chu Zhan arrive in the royal city?"
Tang Yong asked.
"Fourth Prince, are you planning to win over Chu Zhan?"
"As the situation is forced, it seems that I have to put some effort into Chu Zhan."
"Well, that's good. Chu Zhan and the others did not rush to rush this time. They came to the royal city by carriage. According to my estimate, they should be able to reach the royal city within ten days!"
After estimating it, Xu Hong speculated.
"Okay, please help me turn off all the social engagements within the past ten days, and then prepare a generous gift. After Chu Zhan arrives at the royal city, we will immediately go and congratulate you!"
Tang Yong said.
"yes."
Xu Hong nodded, suddenly remembered something, and hesitated: "Fourth Prince, I don't know whether I should say it or not?"
"But it's okay!"
"Fourth Prince, what if you can't win over Chu Zhan successfully?"
Chapter completed!
