Chapter 60 Three Eagles with One Arrow

In Shangpingfang, a carriage stopped in front of the Yinping Palace. Chen Wang got out of the sedan chair. Before entering the corner gate, he heard harsh laughter and laughter resounding in the mansion. The light songs were calm and seductive. Ah Li took a look. , what time is it, it's bright inside like daytime, and he can't help sighing: "His Royal Highness is too presumptuous."

"Keep your mouth shut."

Chen Wang was cold, the doorman in front of the mansion saw him and immediately said: "Mr. Chen is here."

The man responded, went in through the opened corner door, and found the main room in the north courtyard, where silk and bamboo wind music, singers and dancers were all available, a fat man was sitting on a soft couch, his eyes narrowed, Shaking his head, he stretched out his hands and patted his knees, rhythmically.

Chen Wang walked among the dancers, stood in front of the man, and said coldly: "Your Highness, the matter with the Yang family may be in vain. Without witnesses and jade pendants, not only can't bite the flesh of the Yang family, if you insist on If you pursue it, it is very likely that the gambling house will be exposed."

Hearing this, the man opened his eyes and looked at him, smacked his lips impatiently, picked up the wine cup next to him and drank it down in one gulp, then threw it beside him: "What's going on?"

"Someone took action and killed the man surnamed Zhou." Chen Wang said lightly.

"Who?"

"Xue Dao."

The man froze for a moment, and fell silent for a while. Listening to the tune in the hall, it suddenly turned into a piercing scream. He burst into a rage, overturning the small case in front of him, and frightened everyone in the hall fell to their knees. On the ground, they shouted in unison: "His Royal Highness, calm down!"

Chen Wang looked down at Chen Rong, waved his hand, and let the group of people in the hall retreat, and then sat down cross-legged: "This matter was my oversight. I didn't expect Xue Dao to make a sudden move. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

The prince shook his head: "I don't blame you for this matter. Lin Ye is Lin Zhao's elder brother. The marriage is imminent. It is reasonable for Xue Dao to take action. We underestimated the enemy. If we knew this, we should have detained the man surnamed Zhou early in the morning." Get up, hold it in our hands, don't call it running around."

"Yes." The man responded lightly.

"It's a pity that such a good opportunity finally fell into the hands of the Xue family." The prince frowned, "If it's you, that's all. Since the matter didn't work out, don't worry about it."

The prince didn't say anything, but Chen Wang sneered and said, "It's okay, it's hard for us, and they shouldn't think about it either."

The prince was puzzled, and looked at him: "Jing Yuan...you mean..." His eyes lit up, and he quickly reached out to pick up the wine cup from the side, there was still some residual wine in it, and handed it over, "You have other ideas ?”

"Yes, it's just a little risky."

"Go ahead."

Chen Wang took the wine cup and said in a low voice, "Assassinate King Huai."

As soon as the words fell, the wick of the candle went out with a whistling sound, and the light in the hall dimmed immediately. The prince stared at the man surrounded by white mist at a loss, and said somewhat stammeringly: "Jing Yuan, you... Are you joking with me? Uncle Ten Wang... Uncle Ten Wang..."

Chen Wang squinted at him.

The prince said anxiously: "That's my Uncle Wang, the brother of my father?"

Chen Wang smiled but said: "Siblings? King Huai is the younger brother of King Ying. Wasn't he still a saint back then... His Highness is afraid of King Huai now. For so many years, King Huai was far away in Huaizhou, stationed on Qinghuai Road Nineteen states, this is a serious problem for the sage, but the sage suffers from the slander of the world and cannot touch him, if His Highness can fulfill the sage's wish, how can he not remember your hard work?"

"But……"

"Although you are the prince now, the imperial edict to establish the reserve has never been issued. Do you know why?"

Chen Wangdao.

The prince is sober now, with a sad look on his face. The sage ascended the throne two years ago, and half a year later he appointed himself as the prince. I was reprimanded again and again, saying that I was restless.

"The crown prince is the crown prince of a country, the future ruler of the Ninth Five-Year Plan." Chen Wangdao, "But you have no academic achievements, no military achievements, and even if a saint wants to issue an edict immediately, there is no good reason. How can he convince the public? He is not the son of the empress, but the chief. If you remove the thorn in the heart of the saint, how can he be dissatisfied? Yinping Mansion? If you don’t issue an edict for a day, you will be King Yinping for a day!”

Seeing that Chen Wang's words were severe and serious, the prince also thought a little bit.

"Your Highness, when the time comes, you can ask for credit in private and let the sage know that you did it." Chen Wang said firmly, "After all, it is a matter of fratricide, so it should not be put on the surface."

"But... when Uncle Ten has an accident, the world..."

"Chen Ke."

"Fifth?" The prince stared, "What do you mean?"

"Concubine Wei Xian, the fifth prince's biological mother, is well aware that her natal family is stationed at Wuji Pass. She holds military power in her hands, beyond the reach of a saint. The troubles in her heart are no less than that of King Huai, and Wuji Pass is so close to Qinghuai Road. When the time comes, you will discuss this matter. Planting the spoils on the head of the Wei family, wouldn't it remove the troubles of the two saints at once?"

Seeing that the crown prince was thinking, Chen Wang took advantage of the victory to chase after him: "Firstly, he solved King Huai; You are on par with Your Highness, but because of Concubine Wei Xian's natal family, even though His Highness's uncle is the two governors in charge of the Changying Army, Hesi and Suiping are both under the eyes of the sage. Your Highness, the Xue family has With the marriage as a backing, it is easy to move, do you know what the Xue family is going to do?"

The prince trembled in his heart: "You mean..."

"It's Chen Ke."

"Fifth?"

Chen Wang stood up abruptly: "That's right, the Xue family wants to support the fifth prince. At that time, there will be Concubine Wei Xian inside, and the Xue family outside. If His Highness is abolished, it will not be easy to appoint the fifth prince as the new heir. Chu Shi's tragic situation must have made him aware of how important the aristocratic family's aspirations are! Our Chen family missed a good opportunity, and without the marriage, we can no longer compare with the Xue family, and I hope His Highness think twice."

"But to assassinate Uncle Wang, I..."

"Since ancient times, those who achieve great things have always been careless. Uncle Wang is still separated by a layer. When the saint killed King Ying, he didn't kill his blood relatives. Why did the saint stand out in the end? Come to love, when the Eleventh Prince was assassinated, didn't His Highness agree?"

Speaking of this, the prince's pupils shrank suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

Only then did Chen Wang smile in satisfaction, sat down again, and stretched out his hand to hold the prince's hand: "Don't worry, Your Highness, our Chen family will definitely go through fire and water for His Highness, and will do whatever it takes."

The prince held Chen Wang's hand instead, nodded and said: "Jing Yuan, we have been together for more than five years. I have always known your feelings for me and my concubine, and your Chen family's feelings. If it’s a good thing, then there must be no mistakes, and I will discuss it with my uncle tomorrow.”

Chen Wang nodded.
