Thinking about how the slave was covered in blood, these staff members turned pale in retrospect. They didn't think that King Xiang would be particularly merciful to them. If they did something wrong and killed them, there would really be no room for injustice.
Go and call.
Chief staff member Han Ce was sitting here, looking at the several staff members on the side who were so anxious that they could only run around in circles. He couldn't help but angrily yelled, "What's the use of being anxious? Look at what you are like? Now you can only make a boat, regret it."
It’s useless, you have to find a way to solve the problem.”
"Yes." Han Ce's prestige is very high. When he shouted angrily, the others did not dare to speak out. They just lowered their heads and looked like they were listening to the advice. Of course, there are also people like Shi Zitong who claim to be capable.
, although his head was lowered, he was very dissatisfied in his heart. He only thought that one day, he would be able to replace Han Ce and become the most trusted and important staff of King Xiang.
Everyone lowered their heads. Han Ce let out a breath, knowing that he had to say something at this time, otherwise he would point out that these people couldn't think of a way to solve the problem and not say anything, which would anger King Xiang, and he didn't know it.
What will happen.
"Now Guo Changlong will definitely be controlled by the prince. We can't snatch it away. The only way we can do now is to find a way to get the emperor to allow His Highness Prince Xiang to send people to check the accounts. In this case, the prince will not dare to do too much.
, it can be regarded as controlling the prince’s role in using Guochanglong to win people’s hearts.”
"Gao, Mr. Han's methods are really high, I admire him." All the staff looked like they had suddenly realized it, and their praises came one after another.
Being flattered by everyone, Han Ce also felt dizzy. He thought about telling King Xiang this method soon, so that King Xiang would not be so angry. But before he could do anything, King Xiang in the inner room
A burst of laughter could already be heard in the room where he was.
"What's going on? Your Highness, could it be..." A staff member's face changed drastically when he heard the sound of laughter. He wanted to say whether Prince Xiang was insane, but he didn't dare.
Han Ce also had a look of shock on his face. He didn't know what happened. As for saying that His Highness King Xiang was crazy, he wouldn't believe it. Although King Xiang sometimes does things impulsively, he is by no means a pushover.
Just because the prince robbed him of a prosperous country would not make him really crazy.
When everyone was thinking about what happened, King Xiang himself came out. After seeing the concerned eyes of Han Ce and others, he said happily, "I will record your concern for me.
Yes. At the court meeting today, I was indeed a little reckless and even spoke for the prince. When I think about it, I really regret it."
Everyone thought this was Prince Xiang's overthinking, and everyone kept saying, "Your Highness has a broad mind, I admire you."
"Your Highness has a groove in his chest and can tolerate the world's affairs. He is a model for us to learn from."
"Your Highness, don't worry. Temporary gains and losses mean nothing. We still have many opportunities. As long as we don't get discouraged, great things will surely happen."
Even Han Ce spoke up at this moment: "Your Highness is fine, I can rest assured. We have discussed it just now and can we ask the Emperor to send His Highness to Guochanglong to inspect the accounts. Then we will have something to restrain the Crown Prince."
power, so this time it won’t be considered a defeat.”
"Huh? Check the accounts? What accounts should be checked?" Prince Xiang looked puzzled.
Seeing that Prince Xiang didn't seem to agree with his suggestion, Han Ce said again: "Your Highness, if this trick doesn't work, we can also think of other ways. In short, we will never let the prince sit and enjoy the profits of the country's prosperity for nothing.
He will not be allowed to enjoy the prosperity of the country so comfortably."
Looking at Han Ce's serious look, King Xiang finally knew that these people were thinking of ways to comfort him. It seemed that they had not received the latest news in the palace. Presumably, the eunuch of the palace had informed him immediately
, these staff should not have received the news yet.
Thinking of this, King Xiang laughed heartily and said: "I appreciate the good intentions of all gentlemen. But you don't have to think about this matter anymore. I just received the news from the palace that my father did not control the country.
If Changlong is handed over to the prince, the eldest princess will be responsible for taking care of it, and Duke Zhongguo will be responsible for the specific things."
The room was silent for a moment, and then everyone's eyes lit up, especially the chief staff member Han Ce, who was as energetic as if he had drunk the cool sour plum soup in midsummer, "Your Highness, is this all true?
"
Seeing Han Ce's don't lie to me look, King Xiang nodded seriously, "Of course it's true. Now it's spread throughout the palace. I'm afraid all the civil and military officials will know about it soon."
.”
"Haha, great, great. Your Highness, it seems that the Emperor has a problem with the Crown Prince. Congratulations, Your Highness, maybe it won't be long before we call you His Highness the Crown Prince." Han Ce thought.
Far more than others, wider than others. Through this incident, he could see the prince's loss of power. Doesn't that mean that His Highness Prince Xiang's chances are getting bigger and bigger?
Originally, King Xiang was just happy that the prince did not get the prosperity of the country, and did not think about anything else. Now that Han Ce said this, he also cheered up, "Okay, okay, what Mr. Han said makes sense, makes sense."
.Then will I, the king, enter the palace immediately and speak ill of the prince in front of my father?"
In the eyes of King Xiang, it seemed that only dealing with the prince was the important thing. As long as he stepped on the prince, he could become the prince.
Fortunately, Han Ce stopped him in time. "Your Highness, please don't. The Emperor should be angry now, so don't be impulsive at this time. Your Highness just needs to act as usual and believe that the Emperor really means to depose the prince, then he will definitely think of Your Highness.
We can't make any mistakes. If we take action now, it will appear to be too anxious and we will fall behind."
"To the extreme, to the extreme, we can't make any mistakes now, the big thing is still undecided." King Xiang was spinning on the spot excitedly, his eyes showing a strong desire for imperial power.
...
The emperor did not hand over the country's prosperity to the prince, and the news spread like the wind.
After receiving the news in the mansion, many ministers were shocked and their expressions changed drastically. They thanked the guests behind closed doors, and those who were eager to leave the mansion quickly found someone to contact them. They were all extremely busy.
Happy.
Even in the harem, after the news came out, many concubines had different mentality. Is it really going to change? Does the emperor want to depose the prince?
As the prince's biological emperor, Concubine Li Huang is currently smashing things in her Yaohua Palace.
Everything within sight was smashed by her. The eunuchs and maids kneeling beside her all looked anxious, but they didn't know how to persuade them. In the end, Yan Fu suddenly appeared.
, saying that the emperor would come to Yaohua Palace for dinner in the evening, Concubine Li Huang put away her shrew-like face, rushed to Yan Fu and asked, "Eunuch Yan, is the emperor angry with Xin'er?
?”
"I don't know." Yan Fu quickly put his head down and cursed Concubine Li Huang's stupidity in his heart. He is just a eunuch, how dare he doubt the emperor's thoughts? Doesn't he want to live anymore?
Seeing Yan Fu's tight-lipped manner, Imperial Concubine Li was furious. She had been trying to win over the emperor's father-in-law, and she gave away countless good things for this purpose. But as long as everything was valuable,
The items will definitely be returned, but some not-so-valuable gadgets are collected by artists.
Yan Fu looked at what he should do or what he should do. He did not show any intention of getting close to Concubine Li Huang. Gradually, he realized that this father-in-law could not be bribed, so Concubine Li Huang simply gave up this idea. Okay.
What's more, Yan Fu not only doesn't get close to him, but also keeps a sufficient distance from other concubines, which makes him feel better.
Now that Yan Fu was in front of him, he must have known what the emperor was thinking, but he didn't say a word. Concubine Li Huang was anxious and had no better way to do it, so she could only say in a tone that was almost pleading, "Eunuch Yan,
I couldn't find my wish-fulfilling golden hairpin, so the eunuchs and maids started shouting, causing some confusion in the palace. Don't be ridiculous, and please don't tell the emperor what happened."
This was something that could not be found. It was obvious that he took these items out of anger to vent his anger. Yan Fu naturally understood in his heart and answered without changing his face, "Please don't worry, Imperial Concubine, I didn't see anything."
As the chief eunuch around the emperor, Yan Fu naturally knew what things could be said and what things should not be said nonsense. There were some people in the palace who gossiped, but how many of them had a good ending in the end?
Although Yan Fu is with the emperor, he has great power. If you want to touch him, it can only be done by one or two concubines to the emperor. But if you can avoid provoking these concubines, it is better not to do so, otherwise these women will
If you get caught, it will be quite troublesome.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Yan, Chunchan reward." Concubine Li Huang couldn't tell what Yan Fu was thinking from her face, but after all, she agreed, so she could only hope in her heart that he would keep his word.
Taking the twelve taels of silver reward handed over by Chunchan, Yan Fu weighed it gently and forced a smile on his face, "Then I will resign. Your Majesty will come to Yaohua Palace in an hour. Please pay your respects to Your Majesty."
Concubine, please clean up well and make some preparations in advance."
"Thank you, Eunuch Yan, for reminding me. This is natural." Concubine Li Huang no longer looked angry as before. She stood up straight, looking graceful and luxurious again.
Yan Fu left. Not long after, whether intentionally or not, news came out from the Yaohua Palace that the emperor was going to have dinner at the Yaohua Palace in the evening.
This news blew up in the harem like a whirlwind, everywhere. It was soon known to all the interested princesses, and some of the princesses who still wanted to dance soon became honest.
