After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 390 Is it stupid to be the king of war?
Therefore, many ministers in the court recently proposed to make the eldest prince the crown prince. The old emperor didn't know why, so he kept silent. Prime Minister Gao and the nearly [-] prisoners captured by the King of War, if he can successfully complete the task, he will be given the crown prince.

Chu Heyu left the Prince's Mansion that night, and quietly went to Shi's house.

In the study, the father and son of the Shi family had a quiet conversation with Chu Heyu.

"The emperor asked you to negotiate with the King of War but didn't give you any bargaining chips. This is clearly embarrassing you. Not to mention Prime Minister Gao, even if there are [-] captives, it is impossible for the King of War to let go without paying a certain price."

Chu Heyu smacked his lips, "What can uncle do?"

Shi Guogong said: "Is there any good way? Unless the northern army is defeated, or the king of war is captured alive, otherwise there will be no discussion.

Oh, maybe there is another possibility, just like last time, to exchange horses or cattle and sheep, but your father absolutely disagrees with this method. "

Chu Heyu took a deep breath. No matter how you look at it, this task is difficult to complete. Why did the emperor give him an impossible task?
However, the father has a total of seven adult princes, and he knocked down six of them. He is already old, so why is he not willing to make him the crown prince?

Shi Yan said: "The person arranged by the family in the palace sent back a message today."

Chu Heyu asked curiously, "What news?"

Beiliang is different from Daxing. The prince of Beiliang will move out of the palace to learn to be independent when he turns [-]. Therefore, Chu Heyu, the eldest prince, has been living outside the palace these years, and he has placed a few eyeliners in the palace, but many Those who keep secrets can't find out, but they are not as well-informed as his cousin.

"In the tonic that the emperor drank recently, some painkillers were added."

Shi Guogong's complexion became serious. Taking painkillers may be the result of the emperor's old illness. There is also another possibility that the emperor is too sick and can only rely on painkillers to hold on.

He slammed the table: "Why don't you just make a procrastination decision. This negotiation can be delayed as long as he can afford it, but his body may not be able to hold it."

Chu Heyu: "Uncle, you don't mean to..."

Shi Guogong: "Don't blame uncle for being cruel, non-toxic and not a husband.

There is one thing that Uncle has never told you about. Do you know why Uncle fills the palace with people every year? "

Chu Heyu shook his head.

"Your mother's empress did not die normally back then. My younger sister practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her health is much better than the average person's. She was 19 years old when she gave birth to you. How could she be at the root of her illness?
In the past, I only thought that those women in the palace secretly attacked your mother, so that she didn't know when she was poisoned. Therefore, I have always focused on those concubines, so there has been no progress.

But looking at his attitude towards you now, I really have to suspect that your mother's death may have something to do with your father. "

The sons are all his own, and they are still the sons of the eldest son. It stands to reason that even if the emperor doesn't like the eldest prince, it shouldn't be so obvious that he doesn't like him.

In the past, the emperor always sent the eldest prince to do some seemingly important tasks, and Shi Guogong did not doubt the emperor. However, these two incidents recently made Ming Guogong suddenly realize: Is there a possibility that the emperor did this because he wanted to Let the eldest prince pave the way for other princes?

Chu Heyu didn't speak for a long time after Shi Guogong said this. He didn't know how long he finally opened his mouth, "The last time the King of War led a surprise attack and drove our Beiliang soldiers into the grassland for five hundred miles. The cattle, horses and sheep that were too late to drive away lost nearly ten thousand horses, the emperor obviously couldn't swallow this, but why did he suddenly send me to exchange those captives?"

This is indeed what the Shi family father and son couldn't understand. On the one hand, they made a gesture of vowing to break through Youzhou, and on the other hand, they asked the eldest prince to negotiate. If you don't stop fighting, can they talk to you?
The King of War is not stupid!
"What do you want to say?"

"There must be something that we have overlooked, Royal Father... If what uncle said is true, Royal Father may not like Queen Mother, and that person should have no affection for me.

So, did he send me to the front this time to kill me on purpose? "

Shi Guogong said: "How is this possible? Who is he going to hand over to this girder after killing you?"

"That's why I said there must be something we've overlooked!"

Shi Yan said: "It can't be that the emperor still has a prince that we don't know about?"

Shi Guogong's eyes sharpened suddenly: "Check! Check it out for me! No matter who that person is, I want to see who is hiding so deeply!"

Chu Heyu didn't stay in the Duke's mansion any longer, the emperor ordered him to leave for the border to negotiate with the King of War tomorrow, and he wanted to go back and prepare.

Thinking of some of his father's calculations, he suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he agreed to King Yu's suggestion and reached a cooperative relationship with Daxing. Otherwise, he would not have been cheated to death by his father this time.

……

In Youzhou City, Zhan Wang watched Chen Rong transport the last batch of silver back to the city, with a rare smile on his face, the sixth child was really getting more and more out of the ordinary way, and even took Zhao Mu's point The family fortune was in the pot, and he was unmoved in the face of such a large sum of money, and gave it all to him!
What a pity, what a pity...

As soon as he sent this batch of silver into the warehouse of his mansion in Youzhou City, an attendant came to report: "My lord, two of the rescued soldiers are awake!"

There was a touch of excitement in Zhan Wang's eyes: "Go, go and have a look."

Eight days ago, the unyielding Beiliang called for an array, and the King of War sent generals to meet the enemy. The opponent lost, but at some point the Beiliang soldiers caught several Daxing soldiers and put them in front of the formation, threatening the King of War, and would kill them if they did not open the city gates. the soldiers.

It can be said that the people of Beiliang did their best despicable things, filling all the righteous indignation of Zhan Beijun, the King of War was not threatened by the opponent at all, he raised his bow and arrow and shot the shouter directly under the horse, but the people of Beiliang did not It's just a threat, they are coming for real, they really want to cut off the arms of those captives, but fortunately Zhan Wang has made arrangements in advance, and sent a team of dark guards with high lightness skills to take advantage of the chaos to rescue them all from the knife , But even so, two soldiers were unconscious.

Because these soldiers were arrested before, they suffered a lot in the Beiliang barracks, their wounds were rotten and pus, and the rest of them returned to the barracks without fainting, and they also suffered from excessive blood loss and high fever not long after. Bu retreat lost consciousness.

At that time, the military doctors were helpless and could only treat them according to conventional methods, but a day later they still had a high fever. Later, when the war king remembered that Ye Hanyu had specially handed over a small package of emergency medicine when he delivered the medicine, he asked someone to give it to him. The military doctor sent them there. Fortunately, after taking the medicine, although the soldiers were still in a coma, their condition has been gradually improving, and they even woke up today.
