Chapter 146 Fighting the Prince Party

The winter nights seem to be particularly long.

Inside and outside the dragon city, they are all silent in this frozen world.

Two people, dragging their tired footsteps, walking in the streets of Longdu, knocking on the bangzi and shouting the hour.

In such an empty night, the sound is particularly far away.

At this time, more than a dozen black figures appeared from the royal palace. They were all wearing black clothes and masks on their faces. If ghosts disappeared in the black around them.

Among them, there is a leader who looks a little fat. This person is naturally a big treasure.

Although he wears a mask, the big cake face is really too big. The mask can only barely cover his eyes, but the pair of dark eyes with a little ** have betrayed him for a long time.

These more than a dozen people came out of the royal palace and went in two ways, all the way to the mansion of Prince Heshan, and all the way to the mansion of Prince Tai.

These two are the core members of the Prince's Party.

Although they are both princes and have no real power in their hands, these two people are the lackeys of the prince. They basically help them deal with anything that is inconvenient for the prince to come forward.

In Longdu, the officials who support the prince probably account for more than half of Longdu.

Among them, the family that supports the prince is led by the Murong family, the Nangong family and the Zhao family.

The support of the family is the reason why the prince is arrogant.

The Murong family, the Nangong family, and the Zhao family are all families that have been on the Dragon Soul Continent for thousands of years, especially the Nangong family, which has once established a dynasty on the Dragon Soul Continent for 300 years.

The world is ups and downs. Although the Nangong family is no longer the king of those years, there is no need to question his position on the Dragon Soul Continent.

There is a saying that if you beat a dog, you have to look at the owner.

And what Liu Xia wants to do is to beat the two dogs of the prince first. If the prince is enraged, then the owner of the dog is believed to stand up and fight with him happily.

The more fierce they fight here, the more the real enemy will relax their vigilance.

And this good play officially kicked off from this cold night.

"Any way to govern the country must first enrich the people. If the people are rich, it is easy to govern, and if the people are poor, it is difficult to cure. ......”

In the early morning, the prince's mansion is as peaceful as before.

The servant is careful and busy.

No one dares to look up and look around, and no one dares to say a word loudly.

In the back garden study of the prince's mansion, the prince carried his hands on his back, facing the window and reciting aloud.

Behind him, in a dragon-patterned incense burner carved from blood jade, wisps of green smoke rose, surrounded by a faint and elegant fragrance.

The charcoal stove on one side is very popular. Although it is already early winter, the room is as warm as spring.

In the room, there are a lot of flowers, competing for beauty, and a few pearl orchid grass, which makes this room look vibrant and full of spring.

The two maidservant lowered their heads and carefully watered the flowers and plants.

One of the maidservant occasionally looked up at the prince's back shyly and was in a daze.

And another slightly older maid pushed her gently and then stared at her fiercely.

The maid hurriedly lowered her head, packed up her things, carefully retreated to the door, and then gently closed the door.

On 365 days a year, the prince will recite books for an hour every morning.

This is one of the courses arranged for him by his teacher, Nangong Weichen.

As a crown prince, how can there be no reason for not learning?

Especially there is a wise and martial father, and there are many coveting siblings.

For some reason, the prince stopped reciting and looked at a snow plum outside the window.

Although the cold winter is coming, the snow plum is particularly beautiful.

Full of arrogance, not like frost bowing his head.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps, and the door of the study was pushed open.

The prince immediately frowned. In his mansion, who dares to be so rude?

"Your Highness, something has happened."

At this time, an official in his early fifties, wearing a red imperial uniform, said eagerly behind his back.

The prince turned around slowly and couldn't help being slightly surprised.

Standing behind him is one of his staff - Du Qing.

The prince's mansion is different from other royal palaces. In the prince's mansion, it is also known as the East Palace. There is a small court here, but this small court only serves the prince.

Du Qing is one of the staffs of the East Palace. He is the fourth-grade official of Zhan Shifu.

Du Qingnai is one of the prince's confidants. He is experienced and resourceful, but today's panic surprised the prince a little.

"Lord Du, when did you panic so?"

The prince asked nervously.

"Your Highness, last night, Prince Heshan and Prince Tai were arrested by Prince Weiyuan."

Du Qing said hurriedly.

"What?"

The prince's face changed. When the book was thrown on the case, a trace of anger appeared on his face.

This is Liu Xia's official declaration of war on him. The first two times, he attacked, and Liu Xia was in a defensive position, and this incident showed that Liu Xia was going to fight back.

"This wild boy is not very bold. Come on, get the car ready. I'd like to ask him in person what qualifications he has to arrest people.

Saying this, the prince walked out of the gate angrily, but as soon as he got out of the gate, he stopped.

Countless lessons tell him that impulse is the devil.

This is obviously Liu Xia's trap. If he goes to ask questions today, Liu Xia may be a moth.

At this moment, a housekeeper outside the door shouted, "Nangong Pavilion is looking for a meeting."

"The master has arrived? Come on, please."

When the prince heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

Nangong Weichen, like Xue Ge, is the chief minister of the cabinet.

is one of the three princes and plays an important role in the imperial court.

In a moment, I saw a Nangong Weichen, who was about 60 years old, entering the room.

This Nangong Weichen is slightly thinner, with white temples and looks like he has been weathered.

However, his eyes were particularly bright, as if he could understand the world and see through the ups and downs.

"Master!"

Immediately, the prince bowed deeply and stood solemnly on one side.

"Your Highness, why didn't I hear you reading?"

When Master Nangong came in, he frowned and asked.

"Well, I just learned that Prince Weiyuan has captured Prince Heshan and Prince Tai and is not going to solve this matter."

The prince lowered his head and replied.

"Oh, Your Highness. The old minister often reminds you that you will not be surprised when things happen. As the saying goes, Mount Tai is pressed forward without changing his face. A little bit of a little thing, you are in a mess. If you ascend the throne and invade the enemy in the future, won't you panic?

Nangong Weichen frowned and taught a lesson.

"The teacher's lesson is right, I wrote it down."

The prince hurriedly bowed and said, but in his expression, he was a little bored.

"Okay, let me recite the homework that I asked you to carry."

When Nangong Weichen said this, he went to the Taishi chair and turned around and sat down.

"Master, I think Prince Weiyuan has already done it. If we don't fight back, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

The prince said worriedly.

"A Prince Weiyuan, what are you afraid of? He is in Longdu and has no foundation. Although he is favored by His Majesty, you are the crown prince of a country. In terms of background, he is far less than you, but a trivial stumbling block on your long road of life.

Nangong Weichen said with a little anger.

"But, but..."

"I know what you want to say! Tianwen-level yin and yang master, saint's cultivation, right? So what? This is Longdu, not Jianghu. You are the prince, he is just a prince. How many times has the old minister said that as a crown prince, the first thing to learn is to have a city. As the king of a country, how can you show your fear to outsiders? If you are afraid, what about your subjects?

Nangong Weichen shook his head and said.

"The teacher's lesson is."

When the prince saw Nangong Weichen's expression, he hurriedly lowered his head and dared not speak again.

"Your Majesty's arrangement is your majesty's good intentions. I told you a story before, the northern grassland, wolves. When the local herdsmen saw that the wolves were encircled and clean, they thought they could live a happy life. However, a few years later, the livestock had no natural enemies and flourished. As a result, the water plants dried up. From then on, I went to loneliness. Do you understand the truth?"

Nangong Weichen looked up and asked.

The prince was stunned and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "I see."

"Well, just understand. In Prince Weiyuan, it is your wolf pack. However, it seems to open its teeth and claws, but in fact, it is vulnerable. He has no ambition to be emperor, so he has no support from the clan. Without the support of the family, there will be no people's heart. Without the will of the people, you will be as stable as Mount Tai. Come on, recite."

After saying that, Nangong Weichen closed his eyes.

When the prince heard this, he was like an enlightenment.

Prince Weiyuan, there is really nothing to be afraid of.

"Any way to govern the country must first enrich the people. If the people are rich, it is easy to govern, and if the people are poor, it is difficult to cure. ......”

"I said, there is no movement in the prince's mansion."

Dabao chewed a meat pie in his mouth, grabbed a steamed bun in his hand, stared at the roast chicken on the table, and muttered.

"You haven't eaten for a few days?"

Liu Xia looked at Dabao and smiled helplessly.

"I'll tell you the business again."

Dabao said disdainfully.

"Did those two guys say anything?"

Liu Xia asked.

"Don't mention it soon. It has been two days, and all kinds of methods have been exhausted. As a result, the two princes can't speak. You said, you can't fight this. How can you confess?"

Dabao said angrily.

Prince Heshan and Prince Tai are both nobles. Unless there is an edict from the patriarch's mansion, Liu Xia really can't torture them at will.

Although the emperor gave him the order to arraign all the officials, Liu Xia knew that the matter between the two princes and Heifengzhai had nothing to do with them.

If you torture them, you will fall behind.

"It seems that the prince really didn't pay attention to me. Well, let's be a little tough. Since the dog owner doesn't say anything, we will hit the owner directly.

Liu Xia laughed disdainfully.

"I'll go. You're not going to catch the prince, are you?"

Dabao asked in astonishment.

"Why are you catching the prince? I don't want to rebel! Isn't there also the Nangong family? I heard that the old man Nangong loves his grandson very much. You said, if we arrest his grandson, do you think the princes will take any action?

Liu Xia said thoughtfully.

When Dabao heard this, his eyes lit up and said, "This is reliable!"
