The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 176

In Xingde Palace, the Eighth Prince was playing chess with him.In the chess game, the black and white pieces are biting each other tightly, and no one will let the other.

At this time, Yu Hai walked in.Seeing that the eighth prince's chess game had reached the most critical point, he didn't rush to report the matter, but stood quietly aside, waiting for the eighth prince to finish the game.

Yu Hai is not very good at chess, but he can see that the strength of the black and white pieces in the chess game is evenly matched, and the situation is very dangerous.

Half an hour later, Heizi was surrounded by Baizi and had no choice but to surrender.

The Eighth Prince looked up at Yu Hai, and asked, "What is it?"

Yu Hai reported respectfully: "That person from the Wang family has agreed to cooperate with us."

The Eighth Prince picked up a white piece from the chess game, and immediately changed the game.Heizi, who was originally forced to have nowhere to go, showed a glimmer of life.

"Oh, agreed?" The eighth prince played with the white stone in his hand, and the corner of his mouth raised an arc of interest, "I agreed so soon?"

"Your Highness, we offer a lot of money, of course he won't refuse." Mentioning that person from the Wang family, Yu Hai showed a contemptuous smile, "Although he is somewhat favored by the Wang family, he is not a legitimate son after all. In the past, his direct and concubine brothers regarded him as a thorn in his side and made things difficult for him everywhere. He doesn't have much money in his hand, and we promised to give him so much money, how could he not be moved."

"The most important thing is that he is ambitious. He is not willing to be a lowly son of the Wang family. He wants to control the Wang family, but it is impossible for him alone. He can only cooperate with us."

The Eighth Prince flicked the white piece with his thumb, and then reached out to catch the white piece firmly.

"I thought he was just a smart person, but I didn't expect him to be a man with knowledge of current affairs."

"Your Highness, some of the children of the Wang family are idiots." A mocking smile rose from the corner of Yu Hai's mouth, "However, Your Highness, these children of the aristocratic family are so greedy, it's really disgusting."

The Eighth Prince chuckled when he heard Yu Hai's words: "How many people in this world are not greedy? Even I am greedy and want to get more things."

"Your Highness, you are different from them." Yu Hai hastily retorted, "What qualifications do they have to be compared with you. The children of these aristocratic families are rotten from the bottom up, no wonder the emperor wants to get rid of these aristocratic families."

"It's good to be insatiable, so that it can be used by us." The eighth prince smiled, "I'm afraid they will have nothing to ask for."

Yu Haidao: "What Your Highness said is true."

He asked again, "Your Highness, what shall we do next?"

"No way." The eighth prince reached out and ruined the chess game, then grabbed a handful of chess pieces and played with them in his hand, "We have already given him the money, so what to do next is up to him. If he Without that ability to climb up, there is no need for us to help him."

"Your Highness, although those members of the Wang family have a bad foundation, they like to intrigue, and their methods are very insidious. It will not be easy for him to get rid of those people." Yu Hai is not optimistic about the person who cooperated with them, "He He has some tricks and cleverness, but can he beat those old foxes of the Wang family?"

"Those old foxes in the Wang family have become spirits, can he deal with them as a brat?" Yu Hai knew about these aristocratic families, and also knew their methods and strategies.

"Whether we can deal with it or not is his business, what do we worry about." The Eighth Prince smiled casually, "If he doesn't have that ability, then he is useless."

"Your Highness, if he doesn't succeed, then wouldn't we be wasting money on him?" Yu Hai felt sorry for money, after all, he invested a lot of money in that person.

The Eighth Prince smiled deeply and said, "Do you think I will do business at a loss?"

Seeing the Eighth Prince's smile, Yu Hai felt a chill in his heart, and immediately said, "Your Highness is wise."

The Eighth Prince picked up the teacup, bowed his head and took a few sips of tea.

"How about the paddock?"

Yu Hai replied meekly: "Nothing happened in the paddock for the time being."

"Where's the tenth brother?"

"The Tenth Highness is very good." Speaking of the Tenth Highness, Yu Hai remembered something and exclaimed, "Your Highness, the Tenth Highness actually knows General Song's youngest son, and they are now hunting together in the paddock."

The eighth prince was surprised when he heard this: "You said the tenth brother knew General Song's youngest son?"

"That's right, His Highness the Tenth Prince took them to meet the Fourth Prince." Yu Poster said, "The Fourth Prince was also very surprised. It seems that His Highness the Tenth Prince didn't go with the Fourth Prince either."

"How did the tenth brother know General Song's youngest son?"

"His Royal Highness said that Xiu Mu met General Song and his youngest son in Xishi when he was out of the palace." Yu Hai said with an angry look on his face, "Your Highness, His Highness Tenth Highness didn't tell you this Things, His Majesty the Tenth Highness, isn't he..."

The eighth prince interrupted Yu Hai: "You want to say that the tenth brother deliberately knew General Song's youngest son, and then deliberately concealed it from me?"

Yu Hai nodded.

"Yu Hai, do you think the tenth brother has such scheming?" The eighth prince thought Yu Hai's idea was too funny, "Yu Hai, who do you think the tenth brother is?"

Yu Hai was stunned by the Eighth Prince's two questions.

"Then why didn't His Royal Highness tell you that he knew General Song's youngest son?"

The Eighth Prince smiled and said, "I guess I forgot."

"Forgot?" Yu Hai was startled by the Eighth Prince's guess.

"With the temperament of the tenth brother, it is very likely that he has forgotten it." The eighth prince knows Zhao Yao as well as the fourth prince. "When the tenth brother comes back, you can ask him."

Yu Hai said: "Your maidservants dare not question His Highness the Tenth Highness."

The eighth prince suddenly withdrew the smile on his face, and his expression became very serious.

"Yu Hai, we are such people, but don't speculate on the tenth brother with our thoughts." He said again, "Also, don't you know what kind of person the tenth brother is?"

Yu Hai was told by the eighth prince, and realized that his thought just now was wrong.

"Your Highness, this servant realizes his mistake."

The Eighth Prince gave Yu Hai a cold look: "Yu Hai, I hope this kind of thing won't happen again."

Yu Hai's scalp became numb from the look, and he said with a terrified expression: "Yes, Your Highness."

The Eighth Prince's expression softened a bit: "Don't you understand what kind of temperament the tenth brother has?"

Yu Hai said guiltily: "Your Highness, this servant is wrong, and this servant should not doubt His Highness the Tenth Highness."

"Yu Hai, you can doubt anyone, but you can't doubt the tenth brother." The eighth prince said softly, "The tenth brother is just a child, he is neither me nor anyone else, understand?"

Yu Hai said respectfully: "Your servant understands."

The Eighth Prince nodded slightly, but said nothing.

Yu Hai looked at the Eighth Prince, he opened his mouth to say something, but he hesitated and didn't say it.

Seeing Yu Hai's hesitant expression, the Eighth Prince said, "Just say what you want."

"Your Highness, is it okay for His Majesty the Tenth Highness to get along with General Song and his four younger sons?" Yu Hai had just suspected that Zhao Yao had a purpose in interacting with General Song and his younger sons, but now he became worried about Zhao Yao, "After all, it is General Song and the others. His youngest son, is it not good for His Highness the Tenth Highness to associate with them?"

The eighth prince said thoughtfully: "I remember that General Song's youngest son's reputation is not very good."

"They claim to be the little overlords of the West Market, and the people in the West Market say they are dudes." Speaking of this, Yu Hai showed a worried look on his face, "Your Highness, the Tenth Highness will not be led astray by them if he associates with them Bar?"

Seeing Yu Hai's worried expression, the Eighth Prince teased him: "Why are you worried about the tenth brother now, didn't you doubt the tenth brother just now?"

Yu Hai blushed when the Eighth Prince said, "Your Highness, I know I'm wrong, so don't make fun of me." He was also confused just now, thinking about His Highness that way.

"It's rare for the tenth brother to have friends outside the palace, so let's not stop them." The Eighth Prince said, "Besides, the tenth brother's association with them is not useless."

When Yu Hai heard what the eighth prince said, he thought about it for a moment, and immediately showed a look of surprise on his face: "Your Highness is still wise."

Seeing Yu Hai's adoration, the Eighth Prince knew that Yu Hai had misunderstood.He was too lazy to explain to Yu Hai.

"Let our people protect the tenth brother." Based on his guess, Duke Zhen is likely to do it tomorrow.

"Your Highness, don't worry, our people have been secretly protecting Tenth Highness."

The eighth prince felt relieved when he heard the words, and did not talk about it again.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince didn't say anything, Yu Hai was about to retreat.At this moment, the eighth prince suddenly said: "When Lord Zhen Guo does it, let our people do it too."

"Your Highness, didn't you say that you are afraid of being suspected by the emperor, so you will not do anything for the time being?"

The Eighth Prince said casually: "Let our people fish in troubled waters and take this opportunity to assassinate Zhao Xi."

Yu Hai was startled and said, "Assassinate the Third Prince?"

The eighth prince said in a flat tone: "Find something for the Wang family to do."

Yu Hai instantly understood what the Eighth Prince meant, and then asked, "How far is the assassination?"

"Seriously injured." The eighth prince ordered again, "The fifth and sixth were assassinated by the way."

Yu Hai nodded hurriedly: "Your servant will make arrangements now."

The Eighth Prince didn't say anything, picked up the book on the desk and read it.

At this time, Zhao Yao and his four younger brothers who were far away in the paddock in the eastern suburbs were busy hunting.

Sure enough, there are a lot of prey in the woods to the south, but there are also many people.

Zhao Yao and the others met Song Jicai and his brothers.

Song Jimin and Shen Mu were very surprised to see their little brother following the tenth prince.

Song Jicai and the others thought that Song Jimin and the others were in the forest to the east, but unexpectedly they were in the forest to the south.

Zhao Yao didn't know Song Jimin and the others, but only after being introduced by Song Jicai and the others.

Song Jicai's two elder brothers, Song Jimin and Song Jiren, are both third-rank generals.

Shen Sen's two elder brothers are named Shen Mu and Shen Lin respectively, and they are also third-rank generals.

Zhang He's two elder brothers are called Zhang Jiang and Zhang Hu.Zhang Jiang's official position is one level higher than that of Song Jimin, and he is the second-rank General Zhengdong.

Chu Huan's two elder brothers are named Chu Heng and Chu Yan respectively.The two of them are also second-rank generals, one is General Zhengnan and the other is General Zhengxi.

Zhang Jiang, Chu Heng, and Chu Yan were older. They joined the army when they were seven or eight years old, and they followed their father when they were twelve or thirteen years old, and made a lot of military exploits.

A few years ago, they quelled chaos abroad and made great military exploits, so they were conferred the titles of General Zhengdong, General Zhengnan and General Zhengxi by Emperor Wu of Zhou.

In these four families, the children in the family are all generals, and they are all the envy of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the objects they want to win over.The Xie family and the Wang family wanted to win over, but they dared not because they belonged to Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Song Jimin and Chu Heng didn't have much impression of Zhao Yao, the Tenth Prince, but they were deeply impressed with Zhao Yao because of the stirrup incident.

Seeing Zhao Yao, Song Jimin and the others solemnly thanked him for making the stirrup.

With the stirrups, their immediate combat ability has been greatly improved.If they fight against the cavalry of the Huns in the future, they will not be afraid.

After Song Jiren and the others thanked Zhao Yao, they told their little brother to be careful and left immediately.

"Brother, they are so polite, is this still our elder brother?" Zhang He asked in amazement, and immediately reached out and rubbed his arms, "Brother, they were really disgusting just now."

Shen Sen very much agreed with Zhang He's words: "It's really disgusting."

Chu Huan complained sharply: "In front of the prince, the eldest brother, of course they have to pretend."

Song Ji thought of the stirrups mentioned by their elder brother, and looked at Zhao Yao with admiration: "Boss, the stirrup you made is really a good thing."

"That's right, boss, I've been forgetting about you, how did you get the stirrups out?"

"Boss, my father and elder brother are full of praise for the stirrup you made."

Zhao Yao pretended to be calm and said: "It was made like this."

"How about this, boss, please tell us in detail."

"Hunting first, I'll tell you when I get back."

At this time, a deer sprang out not far in front, and Zhao Yao drew a bow and shot an arrow.Unfortunately, the shot missed and missed.Zhao Yao and the others hurriedly chased after him.
