The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 451 Lobbyist ([-])

Half a month later, in Tangquan Palace, the prince discussed political affairs with the courtiers as usual.

On the surface, the prince is the same as before, but careful people still keenly notice that the prince's brows seem to be shrouded in a layer of gloom.

Although the people who hang out in the officialdom are not called old foxes, they are also quick-thinking people. Without thinking too much, they can guess why the prince is not in danger-the king of Wei is coming back, and the prince is not as happy as he is. Still quite afraid.

However, even the crown prince himself did not dare to say anything about this kind of thing, and even the officials did not dare to criticize it, as long as they knew it in their hearts, why bother to speak out to cause trouble.

After discussing the business, the prince ordered some ministers to be sent away, and he went back to the side hall for a rest.

Sitting cross-legged on the mat, the prince wrung his fingers in his heart, well, counting the days, Aye's will should reach Xiangzhou soon, and if Shiro moves quickly, he will be back in less than 20 days.In this way, maybe he can spend a month's vacation in Lishan.

"This scourge, as soon as it hears Aye's will, there will be no delay, and it will definitely rush back."

The prince resentfully thumped the small table in front of him, which made the tea cups on the table jingle.

He can't be blamed for complaining, in fact, since Aye decided to call Shiro back to Beijing, nothing has gone his way.

It's fine for his stupid daughter to cause trouble for him, after all what the Crown Princess and Wei Liangdi said is right, she is engaged and should not be punished heavily, after she gets married, she will be disciplined by the elders of her husband's family.

What troubled the crown prince the most was that he had almost won over some neutral ministers in the court, but when the news spread that Shiro was going back to Beijing, those people started to waver again.

Alas, everything is not going well, the prince rubbed his forehead depressedly, only feeling a headache.

At this moment, the servant outside the door reported, "Your Highness, Cui Youbo from Zhongshushe is asking to see you."

The prince came back to his senses, when he heard that it was Uncle Cui, he remembered the idea he gave him that day, and he became a little closer, and then remembered that he still left a question that day, and couldn't help frowning.

After a while, he raised his voice, "Let him in."

The little inner waiter made a sound, and immediately, the outside heard the voices of the inner servants.

Not long after, Cui Youbo walked into the side hall slowly in his official uniform.

"His Royal Highness, please greet me!" Cui Youbo saluted sternly.

The prince raised his right hand and said gently: "Cui Sheren, there is no need to be polite, just sit down!"

Cui Youbo respectfully thanked him for his seat, then he stepped back to one side and sat down on the mat under the head seat.

The crown prince swept away the gloom just now, with a habitual smile on his lips, and said: "These days Cui Sheren is on duty in front of the sage, and the sage is very satisfied with her, Sheren has worked hard!"

Cui Youbo is nominally a member of Zhongshushe and the emperor's secretary. Although the current government affairs are managed by the crown prince, there are still certain procedures and rules that must be followed.

Therefore, Cui Youbo's current boss is the emperor, and he goes to the palace every day as an errand, and he also hangs around the emperor.But among the few members of Zhongshushe, he was not the emperor's confidant, and he didn't stay with the emperor for a long time, so the prince said it was just out of politeness.

Cui Youbo smiled modestly, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Highness is absurd. I am young and have little experience. Now I can only learn from my predecessors, but I can't really relieve the saint's worries. Speaking of which, I feel quite ashamed." The trust of the saint and His Highness."

The prince waved his hand casually, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Cui Sheren is too modest, as long as you work hard, you will live up to Gu's original recommendation."

Cui Youbo saluted again, and the two of them exchanged a few words of greeting. Finally, the crown prince changed the subject and got to the point, "What's the important thing for Sheren to ask to see Gu?"

Cui Youbo looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Return to Your Highness, I do have something to report. I don't know if Your Highness still remembers what I mentioned to you [-] years ago. thing?"

The crown prince raised his eyebrows. In fact, he had guessed it a long time ago, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Oh? What's the matter? Hehe, there are so many government affairs these days, Gu can't remember it for a while."

Cui Youbo didn't care, and simply repeated the conversation that day.

"Oh~~~" The prince deliberately dragged the end of the sound, his eyes were already shining brightly, he asked: "Did Sheren think of a solution?"

The smile lines on Cui Youbo's lips deepened, and he nodded confidently, "Thanks to His Highness, I thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a solution."

Hearing the words, the prince also became interested, leaned forward slightly, put one hand on his knee, and leaned to Cui Youbo's side.

However, he still made the request with a fatherly face, "Gu Zi is a talent that can be trusted more than Sheren. However, it is about An Tong. Although she has done something wrong, she is still of Gu's blood. And An Tong, Gu would rather not use it."

The prince has been handling the government affairs for the emperor for a long time, and he has gradually realized something. At least in front of the courtiers, he must maintain a benevolent and tolerant image.

He knew very well that for his officials, an emperor who was so cold-blooded that he ignored the lives of his own children would never be loved by others.Even if it's just pretending, he still has to put on a magnanimous look in front of everyone and Aye.

Sure enough, when Cui Youbo heard this, a look of admiration appeared on his handsome face, and he said with great emotion: "His Royal Highness has a loving heart. Let's talk about Princess Antong, even this humble minister is quite moved."

Then he changed the subject and got to the point: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this method of my minister will never hurt the princess."

This time, the crown prince really listened, raised his chin, and signaled Cui Youbo to speak directly.

Cui Youbo didn't delay either, and quietly told the prince about the plan he discussed with his wife.

The prince was taken aback, his face was a bit complicated, and it took a long time before he said hoarsely: "This method... Will An Tong, An Tong agree?"

Cui Youbo hastily added, "A few days ago, my minister's wife, Mrs. Xiao, made a special trip to Ganye Temple, and told the Princess about His Highness's current situation and the troubles that this matter may cause. Your Highness is really good at teaching daughters. Hearing that the matter is related to His Highness, I was very worried, so I immediately asked to relieve your worries."

After a short pause, Cui Youbo peeked at the prince's expression, and seeing a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, he continued: "Speaking of which, the Princess himself brought up this matter, and I'm just helping to pass on a message. .”

The prince did not believe that An Tong came up with this idea. His daughter knew that if she was really sensible, she would not have committed such scandals. This matter must have been written by Cui Youbo and his wife.

However, the prince was very happy to hear what Cui Youbo said. Like all parents in the world, he also likes to be told good things about his children, even if he knows it is a lie.

After pondering for a moment, the prince had already made a decision, but he still habitually 'pretended' and said hesitantly: "This matter, this matter seems to be inappropriate, and An Tong is too wronged."

Cui Youbo straightened up, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, the princess has made up his mind, and he will write a letter in person in a few days, and please His Highness fulfill the princess's filial piety."

After all, seeing that the crown prince was still 'hesitating', Cui Youbo added, "If your highness feels that the princess has been wronged, you can just make up for it in the future."

The prince was persuaded repeatedly, and finally nodded with a painful face, "Okay!"

At the same time, in a hot spring villa not far away, someone was whispering something.

Oh no, to be precise, someone wanted to talk to the master in secret, but the master kept pretending to be stupid and refused to retreat from everyone.

There was no way for anyone to come, so I had to exchange polite greetings in front of a group of servants: "Duke, my husband will arrive in Lishan at the end of the month. He said that he has not seen the Duke for several years, and he misses him very much. He will definitely come back when he comes back." Have a chat with you. When chatting with your subordinates, Mr. Lang often mentions the interesting stories of playing polo and cuju with you when you were young."

Li Rong was wearing a purple shirt, sitting lazily on the couch, leaning on a hidden pouch behind him, holding a silver stick in his hand, with pieces of fruit stuck in the fruit plate, and sending them to his mouth from time to time.

Hearing this, he put down the silver stick, swallowed the fruit in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Well, speaking of it, I miss fourth brother very much too, hehe, after he returns to Lishan, I will definitely have another horse race with him." " I just don't know if this man has lost weight successfully, if he is still so rich, I am really worried whether he can still ride a horse.

Li Rong complained silently, also guessing in his heart the purpose of King Wei sending his confidants to visit him quietly.

Among the many descendants of the Li family, although he was named a Duke, he had no real power. Everyone in the capital knew that Li Rong was not enthusiastic about politics, let alone getting involved in any prince disputes, so he was almost worthless.Because their family upholds the ideas of their grandfather and only pledges allegiance to saints.

Li Rong is not a fan of the emperor, because even his most beloved son respects saints.

Furthermore, after the last rebellion of King Wu, the relationship between Li Rong and the prince became closer. Although he was not a princeling, he still favored the prince in his heart.

As for King Wei... Li Rong shook his head, he really didn't like it.

The person who came was a young man in his early 30s, with an ordinary appearance and an ordinary figure, who would disappear immediately when thrown into the crowd.

Such a person is very suitable to be a spy or a messenger, and he is also one of the confidantes of King Wei who stayed in the capital. As soon as King Wei received the emperor's edict, he immediately sent a letter to his confidants in Beijing with a kite and assigned them tasks. .

The mission King Wei gave this man was to be a lobbyist. Even if he couldn't draw Li Rong into his camp, he still had to speak provocative words and take the opportunity to destroy the relationship between Li Rong and the crown prince.

He only heard a few more lukewarm gossips from him, then changed the subject, deliberately lowered his voice, and sighed softly: "... No wonder my husband praised the Duke several times. Today, my subordinates saw it with their own eyes. Gongguo is a beautiful man with a handsome face, a heroic spirit, and a free and easy manner. He can be called the Yulang of the Li family... Speaking of which, his subordinates are also wronged by the Duke. Although you are not as high-ranking as Princess Antong, you are still an important minister of the country. How can you— —”

Li Rong's complexion changed, he sat up straight, stared at the person with burning eyes, and said coldly: "What did you say?" This is the greatest shame in his life, it is his reverse scale, and no one is allowed to touch it.

The person who came was taken aback by Li Rong's instant release of momentum, and after a while he pretended to be surprised and said, "Eh? The Duke didn't know? Now it's spread all over the capital, saying that Princess Antong doesn't obey women's morals and raises her daughter. Male favorite..."
