Si Yiluo wanted to find a topic to divert his attention.
"It is not a good thing for His Royal Highness Prince Rong to be in the limelight at this time. At least King Chen will not make it easy for him. The other princes are either sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, or they are adding fuel to the flames..."
Wei Heyan's long legs suddenly stretched out to rest on her legs, his long arms wrapped around her waist, and he turned sideways to face her.
"Be good, don't talk about business in bed."
Feeling something pressed under her arm, Wei Heyan propped up his head with one hand, and the hand on her waist pulled out a sachet from her arms.
The lifted sachet is spinning in the air, and the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water is very realistic.
He narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked, "Who gave this to you?"
This morning, Wei Heyan had already known that all three princes had brought breakfast to her. After holding it in for a whole day, he did not find fault with them. In the evening, he found the sachet of mandarin ducks playing in the water in his woman's arms...
Si Yiluo knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Shen Moran gave it to me. I asked Jiu'er to deliver it during the day."
Perhaps he knew that he didn't like strong smells. The scent of the sachet was very weak. Wei Heyan opened it and flipped through it, and pulled out a note from the herbs inside.
I couldn't help but laugh after reading this.
Si Yiluo didn't know there was a note inside, but seeing him smiling dangerously, thinking about his behavior after reading the storybook written by Shen Moran last time, he swallowed in fear.
"I didn't know there was a note in there..."
The more eager she was to explain, the stronger the smile on Wei Heyan's lips became, and his whole body exuded a coquettish but dangerous aura.
Si Yiluo reached out and took the note and took a look at it, suddenly feeling speechless.
When Zhou Yu set his sights on Wei Heyan, wasn't he just looking for death?
She didn't cause any trouble for him and let him dance around for so long. He really felt like he was capable of anything...
"Zhou Yu now has the support of Shen Anxing, and he is indeed very courageous. I can't touch him easily yet. I have to find an excuse to make him stupid..."
Si Yiluo shuddered, Wei Heyan wanted to plot against someone, he was definitely the type who would make you die without even knowing how he died.
Wish yourself luck...
…
In the afternoon, Xie Yun and Li Wei went boating on the lake, talking about classics and history, poetry and poetry, and they felt like they had met at a late date. The sky was hazy, and the curfew was about to be curfew, but they still felt unsatisfied.
Li Wei invited Xie Yun back to his residence, bought cooked food and wine, and the two sat under the lamp to eat and drink.
Li Wei is a talented person. Xie Yun deeply sympathizes with his plight, but also admires him for being able to defy hardship and work abroad for more than ten years. This resilience is worthy of admiration.
After three glasses of wine, Levi expressed what was in his heart.
"Brother Xie, what do you think of the princes under the emperor today?"
Levi was originally hesitant to talk to him about such an extremely private topic that might make him lose his head, but the free conversation this afternoon gave him the urge.
Not talking about the distance, looking closer, he once thought that King Rong was worthy of a great responsibility, but today, King Rong actually began to play with people's hearts, began to listen to sycophants, and played tricks.
If he is afraid of being exposed, he will use his identity to oppress others, and use small things to see big things. If he is allowed to ascend the throne in the future, he will definitely use people close to him to bring trouble to the court.
Li Wei is well-informed, and you can tell at a glance that he is not the material.
Xie Yun's brows jumped and he asked tentatively: "Did Brother Xian have an idea?"
Li Wei shook his head and said: "I don't have any idea, I just feel that His Highness Prince Rong's behavior today is out of style. The cost of our lunch today alone is more than enough for ordinary people to spend for a year. Although Mr. Yu also feels that it is inappropriate, he just I think Zhuo Wen’s attitude is inappropriate, not because this matter is inappropriate.”
"A prince who does not understand the sufferings of the people cannot be the crown prince."
He was frank and could talk to this point, and Xie Yun was in awe of him.
"My dear brother, what you said is true. Not to mention the princes who grew up with a silver spoon in their mouths, but also to say that many of the powerful people in the capital today originally came from poor families. They studied hard for decades, but once they entered the officialdom, they were already
Forgot how hard ordinary people live..."
Xie Yun was close to the old Protector of the Kingdom when he was young. Li Wei's words were also to test him. Princess Zhan could find him, so there was no reason to let someone like Xie Yun not win over her.
He did not understand why Xie Yun would be involved with His Royal Highness Prince Yu if he wanted to enter the officialdom.
"His Royal Highness, King Chen, is a direct descendant of the Central Palace. He is from a century-old family in the Duke of Song Dynasty. His disciples are all over the Zhou Dynasty. He has always been the most legitimate candidate for the crown prince."
Li Wei said this with a smile and poured wine for Xie Yun.
Xie Yun echoed: "His Royal Highness Chen Wang is indeed justified, but the emperor has not established a heir so far, which shows that the emperor is worried about the Duke of Song's palace. It is not a good thing for the court if the ruler is weak and his ministers are strong. If His Highness King Chen can suppress Song Guogong,
The position of crown prince may have been decided long ago!"
The Queen had always wanted Zhou Chen to marry the Song Dynasty Duke, so that they could get closer to each other. Emperor Yao deliberately broke up the marriage in order to guard against the Song Dynasty Duke's Palace. Everyone can see this as long as they are not unscrupulous.
"Mrs. Song Guogong seems to be celebrating her birthday soon. His Highness Prince Chen has been looking for birthday gifts for his grandmother for years..."
The two raised glasses and clinked their glasses.
It can be seen that Zhou Chen relied too much on the Duke of Song Dynasty.
Li Wei continued: "His Royal Highness, Prince Chang, is humble and forbearing."
Xie Yun started to pour the wine.
"Competing with the people for profit is not a good king."
Zhou Chang runs a fleet privately, and the imperial court has a maritime ban, but merchant ships going out to sea along the coast can be escorted by the local navy. This information was found by Zhou Zhan, and Xie Yun naturally knew it.
In addition, he also knew that King Yun had opened a brothel and a casino. The court had banned gambling since the founding of the dynasty. As a prince, Zhou Yun knew the law and broke the law. It was not just a matter of competing for profit with the people...
Li Wei had no information channels and could not find out so many facts, but he was shocked by their actions.
"What about His Royal Highness King Yu?"
Since Xie Yun is obviously from Zhou Yu's camp, he will at least have some recognition of him!
"Knowing people but not their hearts, His Royal Highness Prince Yu is good at acting, but he is too cold-hearted, and his methods are not up to the mark. Because it involves the woman's reputation, I cannot go into details."
The two of them analyzed the princes in the court by candlelight.
"Why don't we write down our favorite candidates for prince on paper and show them at the same time..."
Li Wei had no objection to this proposal.
They found paper and pen, turned around and wrote a word at the same time.
"We showed up at the same time."
There are two slips of paper, one is written in regular script with the word "Zhan" written neatly, and the other is written in running script, with a bit of wildness between the strokes.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Xie Yun smiled and lifted the wine bottle and filled it for him.
"It's rare that the wise brother and the foolish brother have the same idea. We must stay drunk tonight!"
Li Wei chuckled lightly and sighed: "If Princess Zhan hadn't come to the door in person, swept the floor, washed and cooked for me, and swore to me that His Royal Highness Zhan was physically fit, I would have been the first person kicked out.
His Royal Highness King Zhan!”
After all, the most important thing in fighting for the crown prince position is to survive to the end.
Xie Yun was stunned and asked: "When did this happen?"
He had not forgotten that Shen Moran had gone to win over him outside the city before she became Princess Zhan. Her hands were blistered but she still refused to admit defeat and put down her body to dig on the ground...
After drinking, Li Wei got a little heady. He put a piece of braised pork on the bottom and said casually: "There are rumors this spring that I will be the chief examiner."
At that time, many people did not believe the news. If Si Yiluo had not come to persuade him personally, he would not have believed that Emperor Yao would choose him to be the examiner.
The decree has not yet been issued, and many people are waiting and watching.
That girl was able to put down her posture and win her over in person. Zhou Zhan’s wife was not in vain!
