The rise of the prince

Chapter 401 What is a national thief?

"My master asked me to bring good news to the two distinguished guests." In the small courtyard of the post house, the floor was covered with fallen leaves, and the autumn chrysanthemum was just right. Sun Huan, who was dressed like an ordinary gentleman in a long gown with a numbered notation, cupped his hands.

Liu Xu hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed: "Thanks to your lord for taking care of me, I wonder what good news this time will bring us?"

Wanyan Yingge, who was dressed as a Han woman, sat on her knees and imitated the Han woman to make tea for the two of them.

She still looked down on Liu Xu, a Han man, but without him, she couldn't cope with these things at all. She began to understand why her father let him accompany him, and Liu Xu was the main thing.

"This good news is definitely beyond the expectations of the two of you." Sun Huan smiled, leaned over and whispered mysteriously: "My master knows that the person you two are worried about is none other than King Pingnan!

I also know that King Pingnan is a gift from the Son of Heaven, and he was ordered by the emperor to receive two distinguished guests from the Kingdom of Jin on behalf of Jingguo. "

"Haha, haha" Liu Xu just bowed his hands in embarrassment and apologized, and didn't say much.

Wanyan Yingge was disdainful in her heart. Although she hated the arrogant King Pingnan who pushed him every step of the way, this Sun Huan, or the Prince Jing Guo behind him, was even more despicable to her.
Fighting for self-interest, dirty and dirty, betraying the country, disgusting.Although King Pingnan is also hateful, in her heart, it is different from this kind of disgust. She can't tell the difference between the two, they are always different
Having said that, Wanyan Yingge also tried her best not to show any emotion, just concentrating on making tea.

Liu Xu was right, without the help of Prince Jing, they would not be able to fight against the shrewd King Pingnan!
Since these Han people are fighting each other, of course we must make good use of them.

Sun Huan, the prince's official, was still talking proudly.

".But now King Pingnan is about to go north to Jiangzhou under the order of the emperor. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back a year ago. This is a great opportunity for the two of you!"

Liu Xu's eyes lit up when he heard it: "My lord's words are serious!"

"Of course it's true. My master said that the emperor's imperial decree has been issued. King Pingnan will leave the capital at the latest in the middle of this month." In the middle of the capital, there is no one in charge of the Honglu Temple, isn't it the best opportunity for the distinguished guests?"

Liu Xu took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and quickly cupped his hands with a smile: "Haha, thank you for letting me know, thank you for letting me know! Please tell your lord, I am very grateful, and my country of Jin is very grateful. The lord will definitely repay your lord."

"Haha, the honored guest is serious, serious." Sun Huan happily cupped his hands in return, and then stood up: "I will convey this to my master. Thank you for your kindness on behalf of my master."

As he spoke, he bowed and instructed in a low voice: "The two of you must not talk to outsiders about this matter, and you need to act cautiously. King Pingnan has many tricks, so don't let him notice."

"Let it go, my lord. We'll save it. We know it well. It's not convenient to visit now, but if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely come to thank your lord in person." Liu Xu responded politely.

"It's not suitable for me to stay for a long time, so I'm leaving now, you don't need to send it off." Sun Huan said and bowed his hands and retreated. Liu Xu got up quickly and politely sent him to the door.

Turning around, Wanyan Yingge said disdainfully, "Scumbag."

Liu Xu put away his smile, and solemnly instructed: "Your Highness, it is good to understand this matter in your heart, and you must not show it. My Dajin Kingdom will rely entirely on Sun Huan and the prince behind him this time. If there is no help from him , Princess, do you think we can handle the mighty King Pingnan?"

Wanyan Yingge hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head honestly, that King Pingnan was sinister and ruthless, biting their weak spots and relentlessly pressing them every step of the way, making them helpless to fight back, it was extremely abominable.

"So, we can only rely on the prince to seize the opportunity of their internal struggle, otherwise it will be very detrimental to our country of Jin!" Liu Xu said seriously: "Furthermore, the big business does not care about the details, and the big ceremony does not hesitate to make small concessions. There is nothing that cannot be done for the great cause of the Kingdom of Jin.”

Wanyan Yingge actually felt that what Liu Xu said was reasonable. After so many days, she also admired him for supporting all affairs, dealing with people, dealing with big and small matters, dealing with the prince, and fighting against King Pingnan.

But subconsciously, she still opened her mouth and sneered: "Second uncle is right, you Han people are all mean-spirited, with too many thoughts and no real ideas."

Liu Xu froze for a moment, then just smiled awkwardly: "Princess just remember what I say."

As he said, he bowed his hands and ignored her, turned around and went up to the attic.

Wanyan Yingge came to her senses, felt that she had spoken too much, and couldn't bear to say an apology for a while, but when she came back to her senses, Liu Xu had already gone up to the second floor, and her heart was blocked again, so she couldn't be bothered to talk to him for a moment.

On the top floor of Wangjiang Tower, the corridors here are divided into east and west. From it, you can see that there are row upon row of houses in Beijing, layer upon layer, and you can have a panoramic view. However, due to the Tingyu Tower, Zhiyue Tower, and Zhiqiu Tower in the Wangfu, it is much deserted.

Yan Xiang's poem is still there, but there are not as many people as before.

"When the swallow came to Xinshe, Lihua lagged behind the Qingming Dynasty, Yan Xiang is really a great talent!" The prince said happily and drank a cup. , Tong Guan, Xue Fang, Zhang Rang, Mr. Fang and others.

Four guards in scarlet clothes guarded the entrance of the building with knives, and ordinary people were not allowed to go upstairs.

"The prince is very elegant and talented." Zhang Rang quickly connected.

"Hahaha" the prince smiled: "When Sun Huan's news comes, maybe he will be more elegant!"

Everyone laughed, but Mr. Fang was the only one who couldn't laugh because his complexion was bad.

He didn't want to do this at first, and it reminded him that his father was beaten to death because he was better than the magistrate's son-in-law in writing poems and stole the limelight.

My brother believes that only force can change this unbearable world, from bottom to top, comprehensive change.

He believes that to change the world, it needs to be top-down. What if they have a better emperor?Maybe the world can change and become better, so he tried every means to become an aide in the prince's mansion, and attracted the attention of the prince, and became his trusted right-hand man, because the prince is the future emperor!

But only now did he understand that the world will not change at all, the prince is no different from the magistrate who killed their father back then.

These big figures sitting at the court are not a little different
They are all the same, the crown prince, the current deputy prime minister, Duzhi envoy, Zhongshu Sheren, the commander of the guard army, and the Ministry of War judge, which one is not a famous person, and that one is not a pillar of the imperial court.

Hehe, in the end, for their own selfish interests, to suppress their colleagues, to curb rising stars, and to gain power in their hands, these people are able to sell even the state of the country.

Mr. Fang felt stuffy in his chest, couldn't eat food, couldn't drink and eat meat, but these people laughed and toasted, toasting each other, with bright smiles on their faces. He suddenly felt his chest was overwhelmed, nauseated, uncomfortable, and wanted to vomit, so he got up and said goodbye, and left the table in a hurry. Get out of this disgusting place.

The prince and everyone did not express their concern.

It was easier for him to walk out of the Wangjiang Tower slowly, and he understood the meaning of this negotiation with Jin Guo. If someone capable of doing it, he might have the opportunity to take back the lost ground of the previous court, but now he is being held by his own people. Stabbed in the back, he didn't know what to say.

What is a national thief?According to the righteous words of these officials and officials, all the people sitting here are national thieves!

The banquet continued upstairs, and after a while, Sun Huan came back with a flushed face. As soon as he came up, he cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, the event is complete!"

"Hahahaha." Hearing that everyone looked at each other, they laughed in unison, everyone knew it.

Sun Huan continued to smile and ingratiate himself: "The villain has already brought the news that King Pingnan is going north today to the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin. They said that they would play by ear, and asked the villain to bring a message to thank His Royal Highness, saying that the Kingdom of Jin will be grateful in the future. !"

"Hahaha!" The crown prince laughed three times, then he stood up and said vigorously: "Okay! Okay! Now that evil bastard in Jiangzhou is so busy that he has no way to deal with it. Hahaha!"

Yu Chengan also nodded, took a sip of wine slightly, sat upright and smiled as if planning a strategy: "If the emperor adds him as the transfer envoy to the north of Beijing, Jiangzhou will be in chaos; if he is added to Honglu Temple's Shaoqing, the big thing will fail, hehe, Adding these two things together, even if the emperor loves King Ping'an again, he will not be able to protect him."

Zhang Rang cupped his hands and complimented with a smile: "The crown prince and Yu Xiang's ingenious scheme is really high, it is really high! Under such a series of schemes, what can King Pingnan do? Moreover, the crown prince has the foreign aid of the Kingdom of Jin, It's really wonderful!"

"Ha ha ha, come, come, I will have a drink with all the adults to celebrate today's event!" The prince laughed excitedly, stood up and raised his glass with great interest, and everyone quickly followed suit.

After drinking a cup of general wine, although it was a small cup, everyone's faces turned slightly red.

Everyone was very happy, only Yu Chengan was calmer, and said calmly with a smile on his face: "Everyone, don't be too happy too early, this matter is not complete. Although Li Xingzhou went north, there is still Shaoqing Tang in Honglu Temple Zhou Wei is under the control of Tongzhi Bao Zheng."

Speaking of this, he put down the chopsticks in his hand: "What's the matter with Tang Zhou, you are a fool, as long as you put pressure on him, he will back down."

He frowned: "But Bao Zheng. I haven't heard of this old man Bao Zheng, but I heard that Li Xingzhou personally recommended him. Maybe he has some skills."

"Hmph, I can deal with a mere Honglu Temple associate!" The prince waved his hand indifferently.

Yu Chengan nodded, and earnestly instructed: "Then leave this matter to His Highness."

The prince didn't care, he just continued to drink happily with everyone.

Inside the Wangjiang Tower, there was a lot of excitement. Downstairs, Mr. Fang stood blankly under the willows by the street, unable to regain his senses for a while.

At the beginning, he entrusted his friendship to become a staff member of the Prince's Mansion, and he continued to work hard to attract the Prince's attention. There were nothing more than two things.

One is to avenge the close friend who did the righteous deeds together, and the other is to support the crown prince and change the world.

There are three enemies, one is the late King Xiao, one is Wei Chaoren who followed the army to suppress the chaos, and the other is Zhong Daoyu who personally suppressed them and killed countless brothers!
At first, he almost killed Wei Chaoren by the hand of the prince, but in the end he was miraculously safe by accident.

As for Zhong Daoyu, unless the prince ascends the throne, he has no chance at all.

But for some reason, the more he saw how the prince behaved and the officials around the prince, the more he admired Wei Chaoren who had guarded the northern part of the Guanbei for more than ten years, Prince Xiao who galloped on the battlefield and was upright, and Prince Xiao who was all-powerful. Zhong Daoyu.

They are clearly enemies.
