imperial concubine

Chapter 144
The sound of violent drinking echoed in the main hall of Yiliang Palace for a long time, as if he was complaining for his master.And Su Wan slightly turned her head to look at Mrs. Li who was drinking violently, with obvious displeasure in her eyes.

After drinking, Master Li also felt that he was a little rude. Seeing the displeased expression on Su Wan's brows, he quickly said, "Prince and concubine, please forgive me for being rude. It's just that I just heard such absurd words, so I blurted out my anger."

Although Li Fuzi didn't value Su Wan very much, it was because he believed that people in the harem should not interfere with the affairs of the court.It's just that drinking violently in front of Su Wan just now is really disrespectful to the princess.

Seeing the old man's frightened expression, Su Wan smiled and waved his hands and said, "It's okay. Mister is straight, so I naturally won't blame you. What's more, I won't be so timid that I will be scared to death by the sir's thunderous shout." gall."

The sound just now did startle Su Wan, but she naturally wouldn't argue with the fourth prince's chief think tank over such a trivial matter, so she revealed the matter with a faint smile.

Only Master Li continued: "What Zhide said just now is really ridiculous! Your Highness does not know who to listen to during this trip, and it is already very dangerous to step on the battlefield rashly; Zhide, you want your Highness to lead the way! With your highness's daughter How can you do the most dangerous thing in the world?"

In Master Li's eyes, no matter how the power in the court changes, the life of the fourth prince is the most important thing.If the four princes die at once, no matter how powerful they are, the tree will fall and the monkey will disperse?

Only Master Li continued: "Therefore, the old minister thinks that since His Royal Highness has already made military achievements, he should retreat bravely and take the initiative to retreat to His Majesty's Chinese army camp. Firstly, he can protect His Majesty to show filial piety, and secondly, he can protect himself layer by layer. .”

Seeing Master Li's impassioned expression, Su Wan smiled.If the fourth prince really did this, I'm afraid that Emperor Chongwen would definitely give up the idea of ​​letting the fourth prince inherit the great treasure because of his character!

Emperor Chongwen was the king of Ruyang in the former dynasty. He guarded the frontier for 14 years. At this time, the fourth prince retreated to the military camp. Not to mention whether there was a suitable reason, even if there was, could Emperor Chongwen fail to see that the fourth prince was greedy for life and afraid of death?
Ding Zhide on the opposite side sneered and said to Su Wan: "Although I don't know who planned to invite His Highness to invite you to the Golden Palace, I feel that this plan is very good. If the fourth prince retreats and protects himself at this time, all previous efforts will be wasted. It would be a waste of that person A piece of mind."

The power of the Fourth Prince in the court was already small, so how could he not take this opportunity to win people's hearts in the army by taking the vanguard of Liang's army by surprise this time?As long as it is done well, the fourth prince will have some appeal in the army in the future.

Hearing that the two were arguing about each other, Su Wan lightly pinched her cuff and said, "You two gentlemen, don't argue. To tell you the truth, your highness's expedition this time was facilitated by this palace. The intention is to let His Highness gain prestige in the army."

The two who had been arguing endlessly were stunned when they heard Su Wan's words.Never expected that this time His Highness's expedition was actually facilitated by Su Wan!Originally, I thought that Su Wan was just a girl with only a talent, but I didn't expect that she could persuade the Fourth Prince!

Master Li was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Prince and concubine are confused! How can His Highness easily set foot in such a dangerous place as the battlefield? If His Highness has troubles, how should we deal with ourselves?"

Su Wan dismissed Master Li's accusation at all.Although the battlefield is dangerous, the fourth prince has practiced martial arts since he was a child, not to mention that his highness assigned him all elite subordinates on this trip. If he can't win like this, how can he fight for world hegemony?

Seeing Master Li's grief-stricken face, Su Wan sneered, and slapped the table with her jaded hands, "Bold! Master Li, I respect you as a veteran, that's why I backed down repeatedly. I never thought that you would be so ignorant!" "

If it was because Master Li was the fourth prince's confidant and he was extremely pedantic, Su Wan would not have endured him for so long.It's no wonder that the fourth prince is not well-known in the palace. With such candidates under his command, it is very difficult to be successful!
Seeing Mrs. Li stunned on the spot, Su Wan continued: "How can I not know the dangers of soldiers on the battlefield? But at this time, when the big beams are on the sidelines, I will defend against foreign aggression with all bloody men! If everyone is like you Cherish my body and my life, where is my integrity?"

Even though Su Wan sent him out because he wanted to take the fourth prince out of the picture, Su Wan was the princess of Chen Dynasty in her previous life. How could she not be angry when she thought that the leader who could only look up to Chen Chao back then dared to offend?
Seeing that Su Wan was angry, Master Li was about to speak, but saw Su Wan wave his hand, and continued: "Since just now, you have encountered unexpected events and kept your mouth shut. I can't help but ask, Li Siyan, what are you doing?" What's on your mind!"

Ever since Master Li spoke just now, Su Wan felt a little displeased.This Li Siyan really can't speak, every sentence is full of despondent words, although he has literary talent, but he has no ambition, he is not a qualified counselor at all.

Seeing Su Wan's fury, Li Siyan showed no fear on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Prince Concubine, the old minister was indeed a little rude just now, but the old minister's loyalty to His Highness can be learned from the sun and the moon! If you ask me what my intentions are, I only have an upright loyalty!"

Although Su Wan was furious just now, Li Siyan thought that his mind was upright, so naturally he would not be afraid of Su Wan. If he can conclude that he is a traitor because of his few words, His Highness may be the first to disagree!
Su Wan, who was on the top, snorted coldly and said: "Of course I know that my master's loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon. However, this matter is related to the future of His Highness. If he will only shrink back blindly, why should His Highness go to the battlefield again?"

Mrs. Li is pedantic and only knows how to persuade the fourth prince to stop haste and be patient.If I want to evade the Fourth Prince in the future, I will need this person's help.What's even more rare is that he doesn't have to win him over, and the fourth prince won't doubt his words.

Ding Zhide on one side said with a smile: "Prince and concubine are wise! At this moment, Your Highness has already gained a reputation. If you can take this opportunity to make further progress, you will definitely be able to lay a solid foundation in the army and pave the way for future affairs."

If he can take this opportunity to join the army, and even recruit the generals under the fourth prince's command, even if the prince ascends the throne in the future, as long as the fourth prince ascends the throne for a while, he will definitely be able to drive the prince off the dragon chair!
Hearing what the two said, Su Wan shook her head and said: "Although Mrs. Li's views are too conservative, Mr. Ding's views are too radical. I believe that His Highness should retreat at this time."

Judging from what the two of them said just now, Li Siyan is useless, he only uses the word forbearance, so he is not worth wooing; but Ding Zhide still has some real talents, and if he polishes it well, he might be a good helper for him in the future.

The two people in the hall were deep in thought when they heard the words, and then Ding Zhide asked: "Forgive me for being stupid, just now the prince and concubine said that retreat is the way to advance; at this time, His Highness is already in Daijing City, if you want to retreat, naturally you must retreat to the center where His Majesty is." The barracks, I wonder how the prince and concubine will arrange it?"

Now that the fourth prince has arrived at Daijing City, the Chinese military camp of Emperor Chongwen is naturally not far from Daijing City, and the fourth prince can only retreat to the Chinese military camp if he wants to retreat.It's just that in this way, His Majesty thought that the fourth prince was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he would definitely seize the military power of the fourth prince.

Seeing Ding Zhide speak, Su Wan said with a smile: "Mr. Ding, who said that you must retreat to His Majesty's Central Army camp to be considered a retreat? Your Highness sits in Daijing City and lets his troops attack. Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds to have the hearts of the generals and to be spread by the people of the world?”

Just now, Su Wan deliberately tried to trick Ding Zhide into thinking. Although this person is available, he is too aggressive. If he doesn't convince him, he will definitely not be willing to serve him.That's why Su Wan deliberately betrayed this.

Hearing Su Wan's explanation, Ding Zhide suddenly realized, "It turns out that this is the case, the prince concubine's clever plan makes me ashamed of myself. It is really your highness's good fortune to marry such a virtuous person as the prince concubine!"

Ding Zhide had heard of Su Wan's talent before, but in his opinion, poetry is a small way, and only the knowledge of economics is serious knowledge, so he didn't take Su Wan seriously.Unexpectedly, at such a young age, she would be so strategic!

After Ding Zhide finished speaking, Li Siyan said with a wry smile: "The prince and concubine are so talented, I am really ashamed to kill the old minister. With the prince and concubine by your side, your highness will definitely be more wise in the future."

Seeing the two bowing down, Su Wan smiled.In fact, Su Wan didn't say anything. When Emperor Chongwen rebelled in the name of soldiers, he would naturally prevent his sons from doing the same trick, so he definitely wouldn't let the fourth prince control the army for too long.

However, these things are the emperor's mind, so it's not surprising that Ding Zhide and Li Siyan can't see it.Thinking of this, Su Wan said with a smile: "This is just my humble opinion. Since the two gentlemen agree, I will send someone to deliver a letter to His Highness."

In fact, this was something Su Wan had thought about a long time ago. If it wasn't for the fact that he would use the name of the fourth prince to attract talents in the future, Su Wan would not care whether the fourth prince was dead or alive.

Li Siyan and Ding Zhide saluted at the same time and said: "Prince and concubine will decide." Su Wan said with a smile: "In this case, I will send someone to send a letter to His Highness immediately. Thank you two gentlemen."

Hearing Su Wan's words, Li Siyan and Ding Zhide knew that they had to leave, so they both saluted and retired at the same time, leaving Yiliang Palace.Su Wan didn't move, but called Zhuru over, and whispered something in her ear.

After a while, the door of the main hall of Yiliang Palace opened again, and Ding Zhide walked in from the outer door, "Prince and concubine, I don't know if you just called me back, what is there to tell me?"

Just now when Ding Zhide parted with Li Siyan, he was stopped by a court lady, saying that the fourth concubine had something to call.Although Ding Zhide didn't know what it was, he hurried back.

Looking at Ding Zhide who was standing at the bottom of the steps, Su Wan waved all the maids and eunuchs out, and then asked, "I have recently entered the palace, and I would like to ask, sir, how many people are available to His Highness?"

The fourth prince was attacked repeatedly by the prince and the second prince, and his family fortune has become so poor that it can't be seen.It can be seen from Li Siyan's ability to be the chief think tank of the fourth prince.

Hearing Su Wan's question, Ding Zhide said with a wry smile: "Don't dare to lie to the concubine, now His Highness only has a few small officials in his hands, and the power in the court is only the minister and Mr. Li, and there is no one else .”

Su Wan, who was at the top seat, frowned when he heard this. Although he knew that the fourth prince's power had reached a horrible level, he never expected that his real strength would make him feel a little horrible.

After a while, Su Wan sighed and said: "Your Highness's power has been so weak, if you don't win people's hearts, I'm afraid His Highness will have to stand by and watch. I wonder what good strategy Mister has?"

There was a wry smile on Ding Zhide's face, he didn't know that if things went on like this, His Highness would only become an insignificant role.And although Su Wan didn't mention which matter he was on the sidelines, Ding Zhide knew that it was that matter.

However, how easy is it to win people's hearts when surrounded by powerful enemies?
