"My subordinates have overstepped their bounds. Please punish me, Your Majesty." After saying this, Zeng Qing knelt down on one knee to apologize.
Li Chongyang said nothing, but his expression was a little ugly.
It's not that he didn't understand what Zeng Qing said, it's just that he was unwilling to do so, and many things seemed to be going wrong these days, which made him even more unwilling.
He is unwilling to spend his whole life just looking at other people's faces.
After all, he is a direct descendant of the royal family, the grandson of Prince Zhaoming, and a dignified king of the county. However, he was overpowered by all the princes' palaces, and even Duke Rong and his wife dared to point their fingers at him and scold him.
He felt like he was trapped by these people, with a lot of irritability, pain, regret, struggle, and unwillingness in his heart. Whenever there was a glimmer of hope, he wanted to break out of the prison and suppress these people under his feet.
.
His eyes were slightly cold: "Since you know it's overstepping the rules, stop talking about it. It's not your turn to decide what kind of princess I want to marry!"
Zeng Qing lowered his head and said nothing.
After a long time, Li Chongyang said again: "Get up, don't say these words anymore, I don't want to hear them anymore."
Zeng Qing lowered his head and said yes.
Then the master and the servant went back to Prince Huainan's Mansion. As soon as they returned to the mansion, someone came to report that it was Mr. Hu who came to see him.
Li Chongyang hurriedly went to see someone: "Why did Mr. Hu come back?"
Mr. Hu is about forty years old. He is wearing a gray robe, a hat, and a long beard. He looks a bit rough and unkempt, but he is neatly groomed and clean.
clean.
"I just came back yesterday to see the prince. How is the prince now?" Mr. Hu said slowly.
"Good luck. I am very happy to see that Mr. Hu is back. I will have a drink with Mr. Hu today."
"Okay." Mr. Hu naturally agreed.
This Mr. Hu was one of Li Chongyang's confidants, and his status was similar to that of Zeng Qing. He usually helped deal with some of King Huainan's scandalous matters.
When Li Chongyang was young, he once fell into the water while playing outside and almost drowned. It was this Mr. Hu who saved him. From then on, Mr. Hu stayed in the Huainan Palace, and twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.
Already.
Mr. Hu was half a gentleman to Li Chongyang. The orphan Li Chongyang valued and trusted him very much.
"I heard that the prince wants to marry the daughter of the Gu family of the Changning Marquis Mansion?" Mr. Hu asked.
Li Chongyang nodded: "That's true, but it's a bit difficult to do now."
Mr. Hu frowned: "Why did the prince want to marry that daughter of the Gu family? Although the status of the Changning Marquis Mansion is pretty good, among the twelve princes, they are also in the middle and lower positions. The ones above are either engaged in the military or have military power.
Congwen has peaches and plums all over the world."
"The Changning Marquis Mansion is still a bit worse."
"Sir, you don't know something." Li Chongyang told Mr. Hu the words of the former Master Wuchang.
After hearing this, Mr. Hu was shocked: "Really? There is such a thing? Then the daughter of the Gu family really has such luck. If so, it would be good to help the prince."
Li Chongyang was a little sad: "But there are many difficulties in this marriage, which really makes me angry."
Although Mr. Hu only came back yesterday, he was aware of what had happened previously. Hearing this, he said: "Since the Changning Marquis Mansion doesn't know how to praise them, why does the prince need to give them face? Just take care of them."
Li Chongyang said: "Mrs. Changninghou came to look for me just now. She wanted to marry her daughter to me. She asked me to take advantage of the spring plowing time to send Changninghou and Gu Zhixuan out, and then go to propose marriage and wait for the marriage to be finalized.
, even if the Changning Marquis Mansion comes back, we can only accept it."
"During spring plowing, let the two of them go out and it will take some effort. Even if there is a concubine in their house, I'm afraid it will not be easy to deal with."
Mr. Hu's eyes flashed coldly, and the corners of his bearded mouth tightened slightly, looking a little cold: "Since it's difficult to deal with, just leave him alone. If the person is gone, there will be nothing left to say."
Li Chongyang paused slightly, and then looked at Mr. Hu. He also knew that Mr. Hu looked gentle on the surface, but privately he was ruthless. He was a little surprised to hear him say that he wanted to get rid of people.
Even Li Chongyang never had the thought of getting rid of people.
"Isn't this inappropriate? After all, we are from the Marquis Mansion. If something happens..."
Mr. Hu said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this. As long as your Majesty wants it, the matter will be left to his subordinates. When the time comes, no one will be aware of it. So what if the old lady suddenly died suddenly? Who can blame her?"
"And the Marquis of Changning." Mr. Hu's face seemed a little ugly, "The Marquis of Changning is so ignorant of praise. The prince wants to marry the daughter of the Gu family. If he doesn't want to, he doesn't know what will happen. How about...
It's better to find a chance to get rid of it."
Zeng Qing was startled: "Mr. Hu!"
It doesn't matter how he plays with his power in the arena, but the Marquis of Changning is a marquis after all, and he is still in the position of minister. It doesn't mean he will be eliminated.
There is something wrong with killing people casually, and it is ridiculous to kill someone's grandmother and father just for a marriage.
Mr. Hu's expression remained unchanged: "You kid doesn't understand. As long as it can achieve its goal, it doesn't matter what method he uses. As for dead people, people die every day in this world and people are born. You can't say that he is a marquis or a minister.
, then he can’t die.”
"And the prince wants to marry the daughter of the Gu family." Mr. Hu paused slightly, "Even if the marriage can be settled, it may not be possible."
"Don't forget that there were rumors about the Gu family's daughter's "Tianfeng's destiny" earlier in the Imperial City. The Marquis of Changning is not stupid. He must know the importance. He would rather imprison his daughter for life and always accompany the ancient Buddha with a green lantern.
I will not let her marry into the royal family and be jealous of His Majesty."
"Even if a marriage is arranged, what if the Gu family's daughter dies? If everyone is dead, how can we get married?"
"If the prince really wants to marry Gu You, I'm afraid he must first get rid of the old lady and Marquis Changning before things can happen."
Li Chongyang's expression changed slightly, but it was undeniable that what Mr. Hu said was not unreasonable. If Marquis Changning was still unwilling at that time, it would not be impossible to kill his daughter and settle the matter once and for all.
If this is the case, all plans will become a joke.
"What do you think, sir?"
Mr. Hu looked at Li Chongyang seriously: "Does the prince really want to marry that daughter of the Gu family?"
Li Chongyang said: "Of course I am serious. I no longer want to live such a life. She is the only opportunity I can seize."
Mr. Hu thought for a while and said: "Then we will take a long-term approach and find a way to get rid of him. Then all obstacles will be gone, and the prince will naturally be able to get his wish..."
