imperial concubine

Chapter 143
Only three days after the fourth prince went to war, Su Wan held the hearts of the people in Yiliang Palace in her hands.Severely punishing Qiuxi let everyone see Su Wan's majesty, and the subsequent sympathy for De Rui made people see Su Wan's benevolence.

Under Zhuru's deliberate exaggeration, the entire harem knew that the fourth prince and concubine had strict laws and was kind and kind.The whole Yiliang Palace is even more proud of Su Wan, and everyone respects Su Wan when talking about Su Wan.

Su Wan held the scroll in her hand and read it carefully. She was really good at reading. At this time, the Queen was cleaning up Gangji in the harem, which happened to give her a free time to read well.

At this moment, Zhuru stretched out her hand to pick up the curtain from the outside and walked to Su Wan's side, and said to Su Wan in a low voice: "Miss, there is a message from the black clothes outside the palace."

Hearing Zhuru's words, Su Wan put down the book in her hand and asked, "Where did this information come from? How many people did it go through? How long did it take to hand it in?"

After rectifying the Yiliang Palace, Su Wan immediately instructed Zhuru to recruit people and establish an independent information channel in her palace. Although she can borrow the original family's information channel now, if she relies too much on it, she will eat herself back sooner or later.

Thinking that Zhuru must have come to Su Wan to ask these questions, she had already prepared a draft in her heart, "Miss, this message was passed from the palace guards to the eunuch of the Shangshan Division, and then passed to the servants. There are three people in total, and the news is from Chenshi , it's now in the hands of slaves."

Although this speed is still a bit slow, but I just entered the palace not long ago, it is not easy to establish a complete news channel in such a short period of time, I can only wait for Zhuru to slowly eat away and grow myself.

Then Su Wan asked: "Zhu Ru, in the future, we need to step up the training of manpower. Remember, loyalty is the first priority." Seeing Zhu Ru nodding, Su Wan returned to the topic, "What news came from the black clothes? Is it against Liang Dajun? What's the news?"

It has been three days since the Liang army went out to fight. Calculating the time, the vanguard army commanded by the fourth prince should have arrived at Daijing City and joined General Qin Yunliang.If the fourth prince knew the opportunity, he should have tested Daliang's army at this time.

Zhuru nodded and said: "Exactly. According to the news in black, the vanguard battalion of the Daliang army has arrived in Daijing City. The fourth prince once fought against the Liang army. He won a small victory and beheaded 170 people."

After hearing Zhuru finished reading the news, Su Wan nodded slightly.In any case, the fourth prince's first contribution to defeating Liang's army has been achieved. After this battle, not only can His Majesty know the fourth prince's bravery, but it can also greatly boost the morale of Dai Jingcheng's army. After all, they have defended for too long.

After a while, Su Wan said to Shui Zhu: "I pass on the order of my palace to invite Mrs. Li and Mr. Ding to enter the palace. I have some questions about history books and would like to ask the two gentlemen."

The drop of water standing on the side turned around and left in a low voice.Since Su Wan rescued Shui Zhu from the fourth prince last time, Shui Zhu has been loyal to Su Wan.Master Li and Mr. Ding are the lecturers of the fourth prince, and they are also the last forces of the fourth prince in the court.

Not long after Shuizhu left, the eunuch in Shangjin Palace came to ask for an interview, "I have seen the fourth concubine. Today the second concubine got some good snails. I would like to invite the fourth concubine to try this together in the Jin Palace." Luo Zidai."

Hearing what the eunuch said, Su Wan smiled slightly.What I use is Zhang Zishan's information post, and Zhang Zishan's post is from the original family.At this time, when I received the news, the Shangjin Palace naturally also knew the news that the fourth prince had won the first prize.

Thinking of this, Su Wan pretended to be surprised and said: "This Luozidai is a good thing worth ten gold. Go back and tell the second prince and concubine that I will definitely visit Shangjin Palace at Shenshi this afternoon."

The second prince concubine invited herself to go, of course she wanted to inspire people with the merits of the fourth prince.In the past few days, the Empress has beaten Concubine Shu's family upside down with the purge of the harem, and the second concubine naturally wanted to save face.

After Su Wan changed her clothes, Shui Zhu came to report, "Prince and concubine, Master Li and Mr. Ding are already waiting in the main hall of Yiliang Palace."

After the fourth prince went out to fight, the people in his department would naturally look up to Su Wan, and what Su Wan had to do was to take this opportunity to poach the fourth prince's subordinates to his side and take the fourth prince out of the picture.

Coming from the quiet room to the main hall, Su Wan first saluted Master Li and Mr. Ding, "Su Wan has seen the two gentlemen. There were some trivial matters in the palace just now, so please don't blame the two gentlemen for coming late."

Su Wan's move was nothing more than a first show of favor to win over the two of them.After all, the two of them are very important in the power of the fourth prince, as long as he can win over these two, he will definitely be able to firmly hold the power of the fourth prince in his hands.

The two quickly stood up and returned the salute.Mrs. Li was old, so he said firstly: "Prince and concubine don't need to be too polite. The old officials and Zhide have only just arrived in the palace, so we can't talk about waiting for a long time."

Although Mrs. Li and Mr. Ding are the think tanks of the fourth prince, although they are talented but not witty, there will be no problem if they are conservative, but in terms of hard work, these two people are only third-rate.

Su Wan smiled, and then boarded the first seat, Fengchai said lightly: "There is nothing else to call the two gentlemen here today, but there is a happy event to tell the two of you."

Seeing the smile on Su Wan's face, Master Li and Ding Zhide looked at each other, both of them were puzzled.The power of the Fourth Prince in the court and the palace has been weakened to this point, what else can be called a happy event?

Ding Zhide looked at the bewilderment in Master Li's eyes, stood up and asked, "I don't know what happy event the princess has to tell me? Recently, everyone in the palace is in danger, so what is there to be happy about?"

Compared with Master Li, Ding Zhide still has a trace of youthful blood in him, and he is also very dissatisfied with the status quo of the fourth prince's power, but his schemes are not as good as Master Li's, so he has never been reused by the fourth prince.

Seeing Ding Zhide with anger in his eyes, Su Wan smiled and held up the tea bowl and said: "Four days ago, the Fourth Prince invited Ying from the Golden Palace and took the initiative to ask for the vanguard officer of Liang Dajun. This incident shocked the government and the public, and the two gentlemen must have Very clear."

Of course the two of them knew about this matter!And on the day when the incident happened, Master Li and Ding Zhide went to the palace to ask for an audience, hoping that the Fourth Prince would give up his position.It's a pity that the fourth prince has already decided to follow Su Wan's plan, and finally declined the two of them.

At this time, when Su Wan brought up the matter again, Master Li stroked his beard and asked, "Of course the old minister knows about this matter. I don't know who gave His Highness the idea to let His Highness go to a place where soldiers are fierce and dangerous. If His Highness There is a mistake, but what should I do?"

Master Li is the think tank of the fourth prince. In his opinion, there is nothing more important in this world than the safety of the fourth prince.This time when the fourth prince went to beg for Liang, he still rushed to the front. In his opinion, it was tantamount to gambling with the life of the fourth prince.

On the other hand, Ding Zhide figured out some taste.Although he is the think tank of the four princes, he wants to display his talents even more, so he votes among the four princes who are the weakest of the four princes.But unexpectedly, the fourth prince didn't listen to his strategy at all; instead he obeyed Master Li.He could only watch helplessly as the power of the fourth prince withered to the point where it is now.

While the two were pondering, Su Wan paid attention to their expressions while drinking tea.I saw that Li Fuzi didn't care about Su Wan's happy event, and was even more angry at the fourth prince's expedition; on the other hand, Ding Zhide might have thought that the fourth prince had already made military exploits on the front line.

Seeing herself, Su Wan felt six senses in her heart, then put down the tea bowl in her hand, and said with a smile: "Master Li, don't worry. The happy event I mentioned today is related to the border battlefield." Looking at the two of them, By himself, Su Wan continued: "His Royal Highness has arrived in Daijing City, and fought against Liang Guo's army, and returned in triumph."

Hearing Su Wan's words, Li Fuzi was taken aback for a moment, while Ding Zhide's eyes flashed brightly.The fourth prince made his first contribution at the border, so His Majesty must reward the fourth prince generously in order to boost the morale of the army!
Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, then got up tremblingly and said, "Prince Concubine, please forgive the old minister for being rude. Why do you like this? If Your Highness encounters accidents at the border because of such a small gain, isn't it because of a small mistake?" Is it too late to regret it?"

At the beginning, the fourth prince wanted to go to fight with Master Li, but he firmly disagreed. It's a pity that the fourth prince who had obeyed him in the past insisted on going his own way this time and insisted on going to the border.Although he won the battle, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, who knows if the fourth prince will be in danger?

Su Wan didn't speak, Ding Zhide frowned and said: "Master's words are wrong. Although His Highness is now at the border, but in the middle of the army, there will be no serious danger. If you just stay in the palace all day , how can I strengthen myself?"

Ever since Ding Zhide came under the fourth prince's command, he always wanted the fourth prince to take the initiative, attach himself to the big forces, and annex the small ones.It's a pity that at that time, the fourth prince obeyed Li Fuzi's strategy, and finally the power of the fourth prince withered to the point where it is today.

Hearing Ding Zhide's words, Master Li immediately became furious, "Bold! Is His Highness's safety not as good as a small military achievement? The son of a thousand gold can't sit still, and you actually want His Highness to fight on the battlefield. What are your intentions?"

Master Li read the books of sages and sages since he was a child, and when he grew up, he was named on the gold list, and then he was named the prince's attendant lecturer.In his eyes, the greatest thing in the whole world is the safety of the Fourth Prince!
Ding Zhide looked at Master Li without showing any weakness and said: "Your Highness has great ambitions, and his heart is higher than the sky. Master doesn't know. If His Highness loses his great ambitions because of safety, what is the difference between being a human being and a salted fish?"

The two had their own reasons, and they quarreled furiously.Su Wan, who was sitting at the top, watched the two quarrel, and the smile on her lips grew stronger.This Mr. Li is just a nerd who reads books, but this Ding Zhide has some skills.

Seeing that the two of them were arguing more and more intensely, Su Wan said with a smile: "Two gentlemen, please rest easy. I have something to say to the two gentlemen. How about asking the two gentlemen to listen to my opinion?"

Although the two of them didn't value Su Wan too much, they were in the Yiliang Palace at this time, and Su Wan was the concubine of the Fourth Prince, so they could only stop quarreling for the time being and listen to what Su Wan wanted to say.

Seeing that the two stopped arguing, Su Wan said with a smile: "The two gentlemen are very reasonable. It's just that Mr. Li puts His Highness's safety as the top priority, and Mr. Ding puts His Highness's great cause as the top priority, so there are some differences."

Sensing the gazes of the two, Su Wan said with a smile: "In my humble opinion, His Highness is already at the border, and it is meaningless to argue about these things. Why don't you think about how to not waste the credit that His Highness fought so hard for?" .”

When they heard Su Wan's words, they nodded in unison.Now that the fourth prince has arrived at the border, it is meaningless to argue about these things. It is better to see how much benefit this matter can bring to His Highness.

Ding Zhide had just guessed the happy event that Su Wan was going to talk about, and he already had a countermeasure in his mind, "This matter should be widely publicized, so that His Highness can establish prestige in the army. After that, His Highness will fight a few more battles, and he will surely become the leader of the Liang army." The number one general. At that time, there will be countless people who will come to vote, and His Majesty will reward you heavily on the day of triumph!"

As soon as the words fell, there was only a yell: "It's absolutely impossible!"
