The smile on the prince's face disappeared, and he said slowly: "Do you think your ambition is not as good as his?"

"Of course not." Ying Ren shook his head and said, "Brother Prince, I remember you often told me when you were young that when you became emperor, you would make the people well-fed and well-fed, and the third brother's ambition is to expand the territory. , I... I really don't have any ambitions."

"Don't underestimate yourself." The prince shook his head and said, "Then do you know what I was thinking when I heard your answer?"

"do not know."

"Compared to the third child, I appreciate your answer more." The prince said seriously: "Don't think that I am here to say good things about you, I just want to tell you that your temperament has been changed since that answer." There is a difference between the superior and the inferior. Maybe many people will think that the words of the third child are inspiring and more ambitious than you, but I think that you are more suitable to be the king of a country than the third child."

Yingren opened his mouth, but was speechless for a while.

The breeze blew across Chu Huan's face, and after hearing their brothers' conversation up to this point, Chu Huan already understood what the prince was going to say next.

"Qu Chuli attacked and destroyed the Dahua Dynasty. Since then, the Central Plains has been strife, the people have been displaced, and iron and blood are fighting. Countless lives have been wiped out like grass, countless villages and towns have been destroyed, and countless families have been torn apart." Slowly said: "Father has been fighting in the north and south for 20 years, and now he has unified the world and established the world. It was only 18 years after the founding of the country that the people gradually came out of the chaos of war, and people began to live and work in peace and contentment. All this is hard-won. Go on, the most important thing to do is to live with the people!"

"Live with the people?"

"Yes." The crown prince nodded and said: "The people are the foundation of the country, and if the people can't live, the country can't live. The third son's rhetoric has filled the empire with danger. Although he is talented, he is arrogant and arrogant. He has been everywhere since he was a child." He claimed that in the future he would make a great cause. In his mind, the great cause was not to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, but to expand the territory. Even if he suppressed the Huang family and let him rule the world, he would definitely use military force , Xiliang in the northwest, barbarians in the north, Goryeo in the northeast, and those island countries outside the East China Sea, and even foreign nations in the far west, I think that as long as he has the idea of ​​​​opening up the territory, then the Great Qin will use troops all the year round, you Do you think it's a blessing, or a misfortune?"

Yingren shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"You don't know, I know. If that's the case, our Great Qin Empire will be destroyed in a few years." The prince said solemnly: "War can build a country, but war is easier to destroy the country. The people are exhausted. It can only be caused by internal and external troubles, leading to destruction. Therefore, no matter whether the Huang family can gain power or not, the third child will definitely not be able to become the crown prince, and you can only take on this great responsibility. If you can think about feeding a horse, you will naturally think about it. Let the people of the world have enough food and clothing.”

Ying Ren stood up, waved his hands and said, "Brother Prince, I...I...!"

"The third child cannot become the crown prince." The prince said firmly: "This is for the sake of the country. To stop the third child, the Huang family must be stopped first. Do you understand what I mean now?"

Ying Ren said: "Brother Prince, you mean... you want to get rid of the Duke An's family?"

The prince didn't hide it, and nodded with certainty.

"But... But An Guogong is very powerful, and there are three guardians, even the father... Even the father is very fond of him, we...!" Frowning.

The prince simply asked: "Then do you know why the father arranged Chu Huan to be in the household department?"

Chu Huan sighed inwardly. After going around for a long time, the matter finally came to him. No wonder the prince asked him to push the wheelchair to visit the garden, but he wanted him to hear the last words.

Ying Ren shook his head and said, "I really can't figure out what Royal Father is thinking. Brother Prince, you...do you understand what Royal Father means?"

"Chu Huan, do you understand?" The prince didn't answer, but asked Chu Huan for the first time.

Chu Huan said solemnly: "The sage transferred the minister to the household department, which made the minister very frightened. The minister has no talent and incompetence, but he was promoted to be the head of the household department. The minister...!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the prince: "If you don't understand, you won't beat Dou Yi in public, let alone force Dou Yi to go away. You don't look like a fool, but once you enter the household department, you will be shocked." If you have offended people repeatedly, if you didn't understand something, you wouldn't do those stupid things?"

Chu Huan felt helpless.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has crippled legs, he is not an ordinary person after all, he is very shrewd.

"Father transferred you to the household department, at least not to let you sit there and receive your salary." The prince said calmly: "We don't dare to guess what the father wants to do, but you must be right to cause trouble. , in that case, why not just make the disturbance even bigger."

"Your servant is stupid, please give me your advice!" Chu Huan could only bite the bullet and say.

The crown prince once again said to Yingren: "Yingren, you and I are both descendants of the Ying family. For my great Qin country, there are some things that are obligatory. I want you to promise me and join me to get rid of the Huang family!"

"Get rid of the Huang family?" Yingren opened his eyes wide.

The prince nodded and said: "The foundation of the Huang family is in the household department. As long as the foundation of his household department is cut off, he will have at least two arms broken. If a person has two arms broken, it will be much easier to deal with."

Ying Ren frowned and said, "Brother Prince, I still don't understand."

The crown prince said: "Chu Huan is in charge of Du Zhicao in the household department, that is a thorn, and this thorn is used to pierce the pustule in the household department."

"Pick out the pustules?"

"Hu Bufan, Minister of the Household Department, is the source of the pustule." The prince sneered, "If you grab Hu Bufan, you can break the pustule, and the sepsis inside will flow out."

Chu Huan cautiously said: "Your Highness, forgive me for speaking bluntly. Hu Bufan is the Minister of the Household Department. He is deeply rooted in the Household Department. He is backed by Mr. Anguo, and most of them are his confidantes in the Household Department. The minister is just the head of the Household Department. , wanting to break through, I think I have more than enough heart but not enough strength.”

The prince stared at Yingren and asked, "Yingren, tell me, for my Daqin, are you willing to get rid of this cancer?"

"Brother Prince, Yingren... Yingren really doesn't want to get involved in these disputes." Yingren smiled wryly, "Why did Brother Prince force me?"

The prince stared at Yingren for a moment, then sighed suddenly, and said nothing, just looked up at the night sky, thoughtful.

At this moment, I suddenly saw Tian Hou coming from a small path, and after a distance, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, the dinner is ready, Madam is waiting there!"

The prince pondered for a while, and finally said: "Let's go eat first!"

Ying Ren followed the prince, Chu Huan pushed the wheelchair behind, Tian Hou led the way some distance away, and came to an elegant hall. Although it was not big, it was very elegantly furnished.

Madam Liuli was waiting for her in the elegant hall. She had already changed into a palace attire, with a cloud-shaped bun, a little makeup, a rosy pretty face, curved willow eyebrows, and a hazy, soul-stirring look. Blue eyes, and that delicate ruddy mouth, although elegant in manner, is unnaturally coquettish, this kind of natural coquettishness is by no means comparable to those vulgar fans who pretend to be ostentatious. Compared to others, Mrs. Liuli's natural flattery is the real flattery to the core, flattering but not vulgar, flamboyant but not bewitching.

Mrs. Liuli approached with a faint fragrance, and her voice was mellow: "Let me come!" Putting one hand on the wheelchair, Chu Huan asked about the fragrance on her body, and glanced at the devil figure with bumps and curves , retreated naturally, and then Madam Liuli pushed the wheelchair and said softly: "Your Highness, I will take you to wash your hands first!"

The crown prince nodded with a smile, and said to Yingren: "You two sit down and wait a moment, I'll go wash your hands, if you don't wash your hands, Liuli won't let me eat!" When he said this, he was full of warmth.

Mrs. Liuli nodded slightly to Yingren, took another look at Chu Huan, smiled sweetly, full of charm, and then pushed the wheelchair away.

The table was set up in the elegant hall, and he needed to sit on the floor to eat. Ying Ren went to the table on the left and sat down, motioning for Chu Huan to sit under him. He came closer and said in a low voice: "Chu Huan, brother prince Didn't he want to join hands with us to deal with the third brother? He said he wanted to deal with An Guogong, and to get rid of An Guogong, wouldn't it mean to cut off the third brother's siblings?"

Chu Huan nodded inwardly. After all, Ying Ren was born with savvy. This kid didn't think about power struggles before and was ignorant, but now he is thinking about it, but he is also very clever.

Chu Huan whispered: "What is your Highness thinking?"

Yingren frowned, pondered for a while, and said: "What the prince said is not unreasonable. The Huang family controls the money and food, and the operation of money and food from top to bottom in Daqin is controlled by the royal family behind the scenes. Now the father is practicing Taoism. I don't care about this matter. If things go on like this, it's nothing more than letting the Huang family gain power, but their money and food don't have to be on the right track. There are disasters in Daqin but they can't save them. Instead, they will increase taxes again and again. If this continues, the world will only become more and more chaotic. The teacher once said that throughout the ages, as long as the people's lives are unsettled, the empire will be in danger, and the existence of the Huang family will only make my Great Qin more and more chaotic."

Chu Huan slightly nodded and said, "So, His Highness naturally wants to get rid of the Huang family?"

"Chu Huan, this matter is really difficult for me." Yingren sighed: "Even though the prince brother said that, I always feel that he is going to use us to deal with the third brother. I don't like this feeling, and... and Wanting to overthrow Hu Bufan and cut off the hands and feet of the Huang family, how easy is it? You are just a master and my best friend, I don't want you to be in danger because of this!"

Chu Huan felt a little relieved when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, sometimes we don't have to look at how we do things, but think about whether the outcome of the matter is beneficial to us."

"Oh?" Yingren was full of curiosity: "Chu Huan, what do you mean?"

"The crown prince is right. Even if the King of Han doesn't want to hurt His Highness, the people in the Hanwang Party must regard His Highness as a stumbling block. Now that the Hanwang Party is the strongest, if they point their finger at His Highness, will His Highness be willing to fight alone? Join hands with the prince?" Chu Huan said with a serious expression, "Your Highness knows in his heart that until today, it is almost impossible for His Highness to stay away from the battle for the crown prince and be alone. , even the crown prince may become your enemy, Your Highness, think about all kinds of tricks."

Ying Ren nodded and said, "Chu Huan, what you said makes sense. In fact, even if it is aimed at the third brother or not, the Huang family's power in the court is already too great. If the Huang family is not eliminated, the country will not be at peace!"

"Since your Highness doesn't want the Huang family to survive, you should have your own plan." Chu Huan said solemnly: "We can join forces with the prince, but we cannot be held hostage by the prince. The prince can use us, and we can also borrow the power of the prince. , we have to think twice before acting, but we must not be afraid of things!"

"Enen!" Ying Ren nodded again and again, as if he had suddenly realized something, and his mood seemed to have improved a lot, then he thought of something, and asked softly: "Chu Huan, today you are lucky to see Mrs. Liuli! "

"Madame Liuli...!" Chu Huan thought for a while and asked softly, "Your Highness, is that the Crown Princess?"
