A Thousand Hills

Chapter 135

Although the fifth prince interceded for Cheng Engong's mansion and the first prince, he still blamed these two families in his heart. He is not a saint, and these two families are not outsiders. Cheng'en Gong's mansion is far away, it is him Father's uncle's house, when it comes to the Fifth Prince's place, is actually not very close to Duke Cheng'en's mansion.But the first prince really made the fifth prince very angry. Normally, when he saw him, the first prince would say "the fifth younger brother is the elder brother, and the fifth younger brother is the shortest". He thought he was broad-minded, and afterward advised his daughter-in-law not to haggle with the eldest prince.

As a result, how did the First Prince treat him?

Not only does the eldest prince not know his kindness, but he is so vicious and flamboyant that he buys off local ruffians to spread rumors about Wanmei Palace on a large scale!yes!Rumors of Palazzo de la Banme!Although the protagonists of the rumor are Zhu Yan and Jiang Xingyun, the place where the rumor happened is Wanmei Palace!The eldest prince's actions really pissed off the fifth prince!

After coming out of the palace, the Fifth Prince didn't go to his mother either. If his mother knew about such a thing, he would just be angry.The fifth prince was bored for a while and then went home to talk to his wife, the fifth prince especially said once, "We have always had a rift between Duke Wei's mansion and our family, let alone always being sneaky, it's not surprising that his family has such bad intentions. You said, what a narrow-minded mind Cheng'en Gong's is, even if you said that his family's rules are wrong, if you think about it, it is also for the good of his family. Could it be that our royal family should sit at the head of his family? What has become of this? You said it was broken, his family changed it in time, and this matter is over. His family still plans to stand above the royal family for a long time, but the emperor Taizu's country is for his family. It’s unreasonable! His family must have hated us, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to do such a thing? And the elder brother, the one I can’t figure out is the elder brother, we haven’t offended the elder brother, even if I don’t like him on weekdays It's as good as the fourth brother, and we are very close when we see each other, it's fine if others say bad things about our family, but the eldest brother and I are blood brothers, tell me, why is he like this?"

Xie Moru listened to the fifth prince's complaints for a while, and only said to him after he finished complaining, "You didn't believe me when I said it the other day, so I said it, people can do anything in order to get promoted and get rich. This time you can be trusted Bar."

"I believe it." The fifth prince spread his arms and legs on the couch, and was lying on his wife's lap, while he was enjoying himself, he was still muttering, "I'm really mad."

Xie Moru poked his forehead and asked him, "What did your Majesty say?"

The fifth prince said, "Father is also very angry. What could happen? If you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, Cheng'en Gong's family has to look at the face of the emperor's grandmother. Her old man has always been kind to her mother's family, that is, Shou'an The old lady is also my father's grandmother, seeing their face, although I was also very angry, I persuaded my father. There is also my elder brother, let people know that our brothers have a rift, and I can't get over it. I have already agreed with my father The emperor said it, please tell me about the elder brother, he is a little outrageous this time. I don't care about the Duke of Wei's mansion. His family has done this again and again. If we don't pursue it, he will The family thought our family was easy to deceive."

"That's all." Xie Moru said.

In fact, this matter is generally speaking, the Cheng'en government and the Weiguo government jointly spread rumors, and the fifth prince can accept it psychologically. After all, the two princes had some festivals with his family early in the morning, but it was the eldest prince who did it. This matter made the Fifth Prince feel cold, the Fifth Prince felt that even though he usually murmured about the First Prince in his heart, if he was asked to gossip about the First Prince's family, he would not be able to do this. However, the eldest prince can do it.Because of this, Fifth Prince Fang was particularly disappointed.

Seeing that he was still bored, Xie Moru comforted him, "The eldest prince is a fool, I told you not to be unhappy, you think you have nothing to do with the eldest prince, but when you came to the book to make a statement, he was already in his heart." Very dissatisfied."

The fifth prince said, "What is there to be dissatisfied with? Although he is the eldest son, the second elder brother is the legitimate son. Besides, he also submitted a request to join the East Palace later. The eldest brother will not fail to understand this truth."

Xie Moru said, "A rumored magistrate can cause rumors and troubles in two public houses and one prince's house, let alone a high position in the East Palace? If people become jealous, they don't care about right and wrong."

The fifth prince was silent for a long while, then let out a long sigh, and said, "Father, it's better for us to divide the titles as soon as possible. If we leave earlier, we will be clean."

"It's clean after it's gone?" Xie Moru rubbed the center of his brows, "That's the thing, it's not over yet."

The fifth prince didn't take it seriously, and was full of confidence, "There is only one Duke of Wei's mansion left, and the father will definitely show us this."

Xie Moru said, "I'm not talking about Duke Wei's mansion, I'm talking about the First Prince."

"What's wrong with elder brother? I won't pursue him anymore. However, he has to get rid of that surnamed Yu, otherwise I will ignore him in the future." The fifth prince felt that his elder brother had hurt him, but The brotherhood of the past twenty years, the fifth prince felt that it would not be good if he and the eldest prince were separated for life because of this matter, but the first prince must give him an explanation.

"You don't think that the First Prince will recognize it like that, do you?" Xie Moru reminded him, "Don't forget, the Ministry of Punishment is made by my grandfather. The First Prince can't say that we colluded to frame him."

The fifth prince was sullen for a while, and when he calmed down, he thought about it slowly, it was really possible.He said solemnly, "If elder brother doubts me so much, I have nothing to say."

Xie Moru smiled, "That's all I said, if the eldest prince is smart, he won't argue about this matter."

These words obviously did not comfort the Fifth Prince. The Fifth Prince had been muttering about this for a while. It was nothing more than that he thought he had a brotherly relationship with the First Prince.But since the eldest prince has already made a sniper shot secretly, how can there be any brotherly feelings for him?Although the fifth prince is optimistic, he is not self-deceiving. He said, "If the eldest brother is really smart, he would never do such a thing." For some reason, the Fifth Prince felt that if in the eyes of the First Prince, their brotherhood was only worth such a little thing, then it would be a little too thin.

Although the fifth prince knew that the society was dark, it was the first time that the relationship between the brothers broke up. No amount of comfort could calm the fifth prince's gloomy mood. Xie Moru simply refused to persuade him.In this world, some things can be persuaded, and some things can only be enlightened slowly.

The Fifth Prince languished for several days.

However, the eldest prince and the fifth prince obviously did not have a heart-to-heart brotherhood, on the contrary, Xie Moru counted on his confidant, what the eldest prince did next, really gave Xie Moru a straight answer.

Not only the Fifth Prince was chilled by what his eldest brother did, but also Emperor Mu Yuan was furious, not for anything else. Emperor Mu Yuan himself only had one younger sister, and the two brothers and sisters have a very good relationship. Emperor Mu Yuan hopes to have more brothers As a helper, it turned out that there were only two brothers and sisters.In the generation of his sons, Emperor Mu Yuan had many sons, and the sons and daughters were always in harmony. Emperor Mu Yuan never expected that his eldest son, whom he valued very much, would do such a thing in private!
Most emperors are suspicious, and Emperor Mu Yuan also possessed this excellent quality. However, since Emperor Mu Yuan directly believed Xie Shangshu's words, it was because the eldest prince had a criminal record.Emperor Mu Yuan didn't like to mention these things, one was just a trivial matter, and the other was a quarrel between children, he just heard it and didn't take it to heart.Without him, on the day when the crown prince was established, the eldest prince said that Xie Moru was right at the gate of the palace, and the two even argued for a few words.At that time, Emperor Mu Yuan felt that the eldest prince was not very stable.The main reason is that Xie Moru's teeth are sharp and sharp-tongued. Emperor Mu Yuan knew it a long time ago, but Xie Moru is still reasonable, and Xie Moru is a brother-in-law after all. What?Emperor Mu Yuan, who has always been protective of his shortcomings, commented on this matter, and he felt that the elder son's mouth was a little broken.Don't talk about the royal family, it is an ordinary family, the uncle's children and daughter-in-law's, and they have to avoid suspicion when they meet each other on weekdays.Besides, you are a big man, it is serious to talk about national affairs, what do brothers and daughters-in-law do.

Because the eldest prince had such a bad-mouthed record, once Xie Shangshu reported this matter, Emperor Mu Yuan immediately believed it.

Now that he believed it, Emperor Mu Yuan couldn't bear it.The previous episode was just a few words of tongue-in-cheek, the children are all young, and all of them are the pride of heaven, so it is inevitable that they will get angry.It's not appropriate to bribe the rascals in the market to talk nonsense!

Emperor Mu Yuan immediately ordered someone to summon the eldest prince, and immediately said, "You ordered Yu to do a good thing!"

The eldest prince's face immediately changed!
If, as the Fifth Prince said, if the Eldest Prince admits that he is wrong, then the matter will probably be over, after all, it is not a big deal, his father has always claimed to be a peerless good father, just teach him a few words.However, the Eldest Prince did exactly as Xie Moru expected, and the Eldest Prince insisted, "My son doesn't understand what the Father said!"

Let me first say that what the eldest prince said seems to be strong, but in fact it is quite substandard.First of all, you didn't tell your father like this on weekdays.Secondly, if you really don't know what your father is doing, at least you can't act like a martyr, you have to act confused and innocent!As soon as the face of the martyr comes out, it is obvious that you will not be punished and will not confess!The eldest prince refused to admit his life and death, and what was originally a trivial matter has become a major event. Emperor Mu Yuan became more and more convinced that this son was dishonest. How could Emperor Mu Yuan not be able to see that the eldest son was planning to deny his account? His face became more and more gloomy, and said, " Since you don't know, how about asking Yu Xiaozi to go to the Ministry of Punishment?"

The eldest prince straightened his face and said, "Under the three trees, why can't I get an offering? If the father is like this, he believes that the son is guilty. The son doesn't say anything else. The fifth wife's surname is Xie. In this matter, Xie Shangshu will When avoiding suspicion!"

The First Prince's eloquence was good, but he obviously used the wrong place.Moreover, articulation alone is useless, you must have logic and IQ to succeed!Emperor Mu Yuan sneered, "Since you don't know what I'm talking about, how do you know that it has something to do with Lao Wu!"

The eldest prince's face turned pale, and Emperor Mu Yuan slapped the table with his palm, and said angrily, "Beast, you still don't recruit!"

The eldest prince became uncomfortable, and argued, "The gossip is not from the son. The emperor only asked the son if it was true. You must know that there is no reason for it. Then Jiang Xingyun attracts bees and butterflies every day in the imperial capital, showing off his beauty. , Zhu Yan is not clean, they want to be innocent, who will gossip."

"Who's going to spread it? Didn't you just go to spread it?" Emperor Mu Yuan was furious and shouted, "You bastard! If you haven't heard such gossip, it's fine. If you heard it, it's also about Wanmei Palace. Then Wanmei What is the palace! How did your fifth younger brother respect you? Are you going to repay him like this! If you don’t stop those villainous people from saying stupid things, you will add fuel to the flames! You still have your brother in your eyes , but there is still me!"

The eldest prince panicked, and quickly knelt down and said, "Father, my son is not upset about Jiang Xingyun's misbehavior... This is not the first gossip from my son, it is said by everyone outside..."

Emperor Mu Yuan laughed angrily, "Everyone says it outside, so you say it too!"

"Father Huang Mingjian, the son is not facing the fifth younger brother. The father knows how our brother's relationship is!" The eldest prince argued anxiously, "The son is just angry. At first, the son wanted to accept the Jiang family. She died When she became a monk, her son didn't mention this matter. But she was still restless when she became a monk. The son was angry for a while, and didn't think about Wanmei Palace. It was the son's negligence, and the son was at fault. The son is willing to apologize to the fifth brother, and please ask the father The emperor carefully inspected, if the son has any thoughts of feeling sorry for the fifth younger brother, he would rather be struck by a thunderbolt!"

The first prince made a heavy oath, and Emperor Mu Yuan's anger subsided slightly. From the bottom of his heart, Emperor Mu Yuan didn't want to believe that his sons were not in harmony. That way, when a young person loves to fight over female sex, he doesn't think much about it, it's not against the fifth prince.Emperor Mu Yuan reprimanded, "In your mansion, there is no one with any kind of sign, so why do you keep staring at Jiang?"

The eldest prince said, "My son is not so hopeless, but my son just can't swallow this breath. Our royal family says who we want is to give her face. If she wants to become a monk, she should be a good monk. Unexpectedly, she is not a peaceful person. " He felt that his father's anger had subsided a little, but he knew that he had finally felt his father's pulse. The eldest prince was reluctant to say that it was Jiang Xingyun's fault, and said, "It's just that my father annoyed my son. Although the incident was abrupt, the son and the fifth younger brother are blood brothers, the son is selfless in his heart, the son went to apologize to the fifth younger brother, and the fifth younger brother is not a narrow-minded person, and our brothers are still the same as before. But the father thinks about it carefully, Jiang If Shi is really a good person, how can people spread such gossip. Why don't these women in the imperial capital talk about others and only talk about her? It can be seen that her words and deeds are not cautious in ordinary times, which is justifiable."

Emperor Mu Yuan sighed, "You are a big man, why do you always misrepresent these women's affairs?" This woman, at this moment, Emperor Mu Yuan just found a reason to deal with it, but Jiang Xingyun was different from others after all, and Emperor Mu Yuan always had some incense for the Song family in his heart.

The eldest prince said in a low voice, "Father doesn't like it, so it's fine if the son doesn't say anything in the future."

"Pay more attention to major national affairs. Regarding the establishment of the army in Fujian, your fifth brother knows how to help me out with ideas if you don't know much about it. You have been working in the Ministry of War for several years, why did you learn to be a crap?"

The eldest prince was so hung up that he didn't vomit blood, he immediately thought of that woman Xie Moru who said that she was "poor-tongued"!The first prince asked people to spread Jiang Xingyun's gossip, which really meant to take revenge on Xie Moru.Now the emperor also said the same thing, the eldest prince didn't dare to argue, so he could only agree in a low voice.I also feel that the old fifth's hands are too long. If you are in charge of the Ministry of Rites, can you control the Ministry of War?What kind of idea did you blindly give Father Huang!

Emperor Mu Yuan taught the eldest prince a lesson, and said lightly, "Boy Yu is ignorant, you should dismiss him." Fang ordered the eldest son to step down.

Because his son was growing up, Emperor Mu Yuan didn't keep anyone in the room in order to save face for his son.However, the second prince still found out some rumors, and the second prince was secretly happy for several days.

The eldest son of the emperor was not very convinced that Emperor Mu Yuan asked him to drive out the people around him, but then, Emperor Mu Yuan issued an imperial edict to inherit the title.This is my uncle's family, and Emperor Mu Yuan ordered my uncle to be honored and raised.To the Duke of Wei, Emperor Mu Yuan was not so polite. Several stewards of the Duke of Wei were imprisoned. The prince of Wei asked for a crime, originally to sacrifice himself to protect the family, but this is too small to look down on the emperor. Be careful, Emperor Mu Yuan resented the incompetence of the Duke of Wei, and the uselessness of the crown prince. He repeatedly caused troubles and directly took the title of the Duke of Wei. A side branch of the Wei family, an honest man who is the head bookmaker of Taichang Temple.

The eldest son of the emperor dared not say a word.

On the contrary, the fifth prince was very happy to receive the apology from the eldest prince, and said to his daughter-in-law, "Look, elder brother is not an ignorant person."

Xie Moru just looked at him with a half-smile and didn't speak, the fifth prince himself laughed and said, "If the eldest brother is sincere, then I believe him right. If the eldest brother is false, I will just pretend not to know Bar."

The fifth prince was quite open-minded, but then his father dropped two thunderstorms, and the fifth prince couldn't be open-minded immediately.Of course, only one of the two thunderbolts landed on his head.

The first thunder, Emperor Mu Yuan bestowed the prefect Li Zhongnan's daughter as the eldest son and side concubine of the emperor.This is what Emperor Mu Yuan felt, the eldest son was obsessed with Jiang Xingyun's matter, probably because he was a little dissatisfied with it, the concubines and palace servants in the mansion were probably not born well, the eldest son's vision was high, so he might not like it.Emperor Mu Yuan also carefully checked the family backgrounds of the four ladies provided by Queen Mother Hu, and they were worthy of the side positions in the Prince's Mansion.In view of the elder son's need in this matter, Emperor Mu Yuan gave him a side concubine.

In the second thunder, Emperor Mu Yuan bestowed Su Shi, the daughter of the prefect Su Ting, as the concubine of the fifth son of the emperor.
