The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 149 Everything is under control

Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin felt vigilant secretly when she heard the words, but she smiled comfortingly on her face: "Silly girl, Guan Peng is not reconciled, so he purposely annoyed you before he died. Your beauty is one of the best in Beijing. In the past two years, your father has rejected many princely princes who have come to propose marriage. It is because they are not good enough for you. You will become the most honorable person in the harem in the future. Don’t be angry about such insignificant things anymore. Listen to your mother. , dress yourself well, remember to soak your body with milk every day, and eat all the beauty supplements stewed for you."

After listening to Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin's words, Rou'er blushed pretty, lowered her eyes and said softly: "Mother, I have been dressing myself very carefully, and my body is soaked in milk every day. You ordered the tonic stewed in the kitchen to me I have eaten all of them, I have gained a little weight recently, should I reduce the supplements appropriately?"

Seeing that her thoughts were diverted, Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in agreement: "You are right, being overweight is indeed bad, so start reducing your supplements from today!"

After comforting Rou'er, Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin left Rouyiju and out of the courtyard of Rouyiju, she said to the nurse behind her: "Send someone to tell the master that the prince may already have a sweetheart. "

"Yes, this servant will arrange for someone to send a message to the master." Mammy replied, and went to the front yard first.

Guan Peng's body was transported back to his own mansion. Jing Zhaoyin had already arrived first. As soon as Guan Peng's body arrived, he arranged for someone to decorate the house and made Guan Peng look like he committed suicide by taking poison. He left another letter that smeared himself, and then led people away in a hurry.

He had just returned to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion when Uncle Zhong greeted him and said in a low voice: "My lord, Mr. An has secretly arrived in Beijing, and he is waiting in your study."

As soon as he heard that An Guogong was in Jing Zhaoyin's mansion, Jing Zhaoyin's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked: "The whole house is on high alert, I'm going to see An Guogong right away."

In Princess Yingsu's mansion, after drinking a bowl of ginseng soup, Li Meizhen went back to the inner room to change her riding clothes. At this time, Mo Shu entered the inner room and said: "Princess, I just received a secret report that An Guogong returned to the capital secretly. Yes, according to the princess' wishes, this servant helped An Guogong sneak into the city secretly, and he is now in Jingzhao Yin's mansion."

Hearing this, Li Meiying took the hand stove from Yunyu and held it. The slightly hot stove made her stiff fingers a little more flexible: "Aunt Mo, is there any movement from the Fourth Prince?"

"According to the princess, this news is completely blocked to the fourth prince. Besides, he just got Zhou Hui as a pawn to attack Duke An, so all his thoughts are probably on how to use Zhou Hui to attack Duke Ango." Mo Shu I don't understand Li Meiying's true thoughts, but I always feel that it is a pity that such a good opportunity is not used to get rid of An Guogong's mansion in one fell swoop.

"Don't take it lightly. The fourth prince is not a good guy. Now that Wei Chengzhi is in his prime, the possibility of Wei Jinyang succeeding to the throne is extremely small. Although he knows that Wei Jinyang has some conflicts with the Wu family, in the eyes of outsiders, Wei Jinyang Jinyang and the Wu family are one. Perhaps he might have thought that Wei Jinyang was alienated from the Wu family, but it was just a trick to confuse him. Now, in the eyes of the fourth prince, the Wu family is a great stumbling block. If it is too easy to overthrow, he is afraid that he will become vigilant. Now it is the most normal for the two families of Wu and Ding to contain each other. The emperor passed away, and Wei Jinyang, as the crown prince, took the throne for granted. We must first push Wei Jinyang to the throne, and then Wei Jinyang will come forward to clean up the Wu family. As for the fourth prince, the overall situation has been decided, and he will also turn over There will be no big waves. Even if the fourth prince is still unwilling to give up on the throne, he still has to worry about another powerful competitor. The Wu family is Wei Chengzhi's original partner, and the fifth prince is also the first son. It is the fifth prince who is qualified to inherit the throne, not the fourth prince, and the fourth prince has no chance of winning when he competes for the dragon chair with the fifth prince who holds military power."

Li Meiying's words solved Mo Shu's doubts, and at the same time, Mo Shu and Yunyu grasped several important points from Li Meiying's words, and they were afraid that a big storm would soon hit Beijing.

Li Meizheng was not wrong, the fourth prince got Zhou Hui, a chess piece that could powerfully attack An Guogong, and he really couldn't hold his breath, so he brought Zhou Hui into the palace to face the saint that night.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Cheng was looking at the layout of the Hulong Pavilion submitted by Wei Jinyang. Chengdi was very satisfied with the internal layout of the Hulong Pavilion, but after he had seen the sketch of the exterior of the Hulong Pavilion, he was very satisfied. Shaking his head in disappointment, he said, "Yang'er, the Hulong Pavilion represents the royal family. Such a featureless and simple appearance really hurts the royal family's face."

And Wei Jinyang had his own other considerations, so he explained: "Father, I know that you must find it difficult to accept the overly plain appearance. In fact, I also have my own considerations for doing this. The purpose is to preserve the dragon’s veins. My son thinks that the house’s sturdiness is the most important thing. As for the gorgeous appearance, it is dispensable. The 200 million taels of silver handed over by An Guogong really made the treasury surplus. Capital is the long-term solution. Although our Daxin country is rich and the people are strong, natural disasters and diseases are hard to prevent, so this money is reserved for the safety of the people, and it is more meaningful!"

Wei Jinyang's words made Emperor Cheng silent. After he thought about it for a while, he finally let go and said: "Put the people first, and worry about the people all the time. I have nothing to say. Let's build the Hulong Pavilion according to your wishes!"

Wei Jinyang was overjoyed when he heard the words, but before he could speak, Eunuch Zhang hurried into the hall and said, "Your Majesty, the fourth prince is begging to see you, and he said he has something important to present to you in person."

When mentioning the fourth prince, Emperor Cheng frowned imperceptibly, and then he said nonchalantly: "Since there is something important, let him come in!"

Eunuch Zhang hastily withdrew from the imperial study to convey the holy wishes to the fourth prince.A moment later, the fourth prince brought Zhou Hui into the imperial study, and Wei Jinyang noticed Zhou Hui who was following behind the fourth prince at the first sight, not daring to look around.

The fourth prince didn't expect Wei Jinyang to be there, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Greetings to my father, best wishes to my father." Then he saluted Wei Jinyang and said, "I have seen you, brother .”

Emperor Cheng glanced at the boy in rough clothes who knelt down and said nothing, and said in a dignified tone, "It's so late, what are you talking about when you enter the palace to see me?"

"Father, when I was hunting today, I accidentally rescued this young man who was hunted down by a group of unknown people. I learned a shocking secret from the young man. I was too scared to delay, so I brought the young man into the palace overnight. See father." The fourth prince's eyes swept over Wei Jinyang as if absent.
