Chapter 333 Sword Injury Xiaowu, Speaking and Planning
At night, the prince's house was silent.
The two side concubines, who have been looking forward to it for a long time, have been fighting for beauty for a long time, but they did not look forward to the third prince who returned from afar to step into the back house. It was not until the second update was close that they could not stand it until they returned to the court to blow out the lights.
The third watch drum sounded, and the watchman who patrolled the night knocked on the sound of bang. As soon as he turned out of Dongxingfang, he smelled the noise of wheels and horses rolling the road. Looking at the moonlight lights, he recognized that it was the prince's car and was not within the curfew, so he ignored it. After more than ten steps away, he made a gong and lengthen his tone: "Minggong Notice..."
The carriage crossed Jinque Avenue and turned into Ping'an Street before it stopped. The driver jumped out of the car and took three or two steps to the side of the window and called "Your Highness" twice. When he heard a lazy response inside, he trotted to the porter and called someone to open the door.
The silk lamp on the porch dangling on a black dress, as if the moonlight reflected in the dark waves of the pool, a water light.
Although he did not need help, the third prince's pace was a little staggering. The corners of his eyes were slightly oblique, and his eyes were as cold.
The temples are red, and the sleeves are lightly stained with wine.
"Your Highness, Kong Jiagolang came today and has been waiting in the Shuyuan." Far away, he ushered in, stepping on the bluestone slab in the courtyard and reporting respectfully.
The third prince did not say anything, but his pace turned and fell to the heavy courtyard on the east road.
A courtyard is quiet, and Ke Zhi's shadow of ink is rustling in the sound of the shallow wind in early summer.
The wind blew the bright red robe sleeves, and between the slender jade fingers, gently buckled the fat jade cup and slowly handed it to the thin corners of the lips.
When he heard the sound of walking, Kong Xilin raised his eyebrows and smiled at the slender corners of his eyes, but suddenly raised the thin waist gourd and took off his hand.
A sharp wind.
The third prince suffocated his pace and could not see the oncoming things. He only smelled the smell of wine, but turned his head.
With a "pop", it hit the locust poplar in the yard, and the wine gourd fell to the ground and broke into two even ladles.
Kong Xilin "tut" twice and regretted the gourd wine.
suddenly smiled: "I've been waiting for a long time. Today, we won't be drunk and rest to comfort Your Highness... The beautiful man's plan is ineffective."
But when he heard a "bang" sound, the cold light in black came in a blink of an eye and forced him to the tip of his nose. Kong Xilin tightened his heart and jumped up. His heels had not yet stood still. The cold sword followed him like a shadow, and this time he actually forced his throat.
"Your Highness!" Kong Xilin turned around to avoid it, but saw that the sword was like weaving, under the silver net, as if he was killing fiercely and showing no mercy.
A black robe and a red coat did not fight, one was forced and the other avoided.
Kong Xi was unarmed, and the third prince was really murderous. He dodged in a hurry, and his heart gradually became cold and hard.
Suddenly, I felt a pain in my arm and a slap on my shoulder.
Faled to the ground in confusion.
The jade-faced demon face approached for a moment, and the moonlight reflected in the corners of the eyes, giving birth to a faint blue light.
The dagger crossed the neck and finally stopped.
"Your Highness really can't stand my joke for a woman?" Although Kong Xi's posture of falling down was awkward, his lips became tighter and tighter, and the corners of his eyes did not compromise at all.
"Thoking?" The third prince smiled softly, and his eyes were cold, but he took his short sword and shook his Xuanxiu: "I ask you, when you were on the Xiliang, I asked you to pass on the important things in Beijing at any time. After the Lantern Festival, you have been married. Even if I was far away from Kyoto at that time, if you sent someone to report, I had heard the news as soon as I entered Xiliang, but... Only then did I hear about the marriage given by the emperor.
Kong Xi stood up from the ground and saw a touch of wet red oozing from his arms and the corners of his lips slanted. Despite the sword wound, he brushed his clothes and stained it with dust. He still sat on the stone pier and sneered: "It was because I was worried that Your Highness would ignore big things for the women that I intended to hide it. But if you give marriage, what can Your Highness do if you rush back during the wedding?
"Xiaowu, you and I have known each other for many years. You should know that what I hate most is that some people make their own decisions."
"Dare to ask Your Highness, why did you rush back and go to Chu's palace before returning to Beijing? My worry is not that people are worried about the sky. Kong Xilin is still stubborn.
"Do you know the details of the case of Jin Inverse?" The third prince said coldly: "The emperor has eliminated the golden rebellion, and obviously wants to hand over the power of honor and nobles to the Duke of Wei. At present, the most important people are the Duke and the two families of Chu. The next step is to implement the new system, cultivate new forces, and gradually disintegrate the monopoly of the officialdom of the nobles and the family to threaten the imperial power. Xiliang incident. What's the reason for me to delay on the way? ?"
"Your Highness, won't give up?" Kong Xilin sneered: "The marriage with the Duke of the State will never change."
"You don't need to remind me of this." The third prince lifted his long clothes and sat firmly in the stone pier
"Is your Highness sober?" Kong Xilin raised his eyebrows.
But the third prince looked coldly: "I have my own plan on how to act."
Kong Xilin smiled heavily: " Yu Dong finally agreed to Huang Er's plan. Although he only has the Xishanwei in his hand, it can be under the jurisdiction of the western suburbs. If His Highness wants to let the prince die without notice, as long as Yu Dong cooperates well, it is not impossible. After years of planning, His Highness can't do it for the district. The district woman made a failure. Not to mention that I didn't remind Your Highness, if Your Highness does not forget Princess Guangping again, even Huang Er will have two hearts.
The third prince's eyebrows and bones jumped gently and were silent for a moment.
"Your Highness knows what Yu Dong is going to do. You and the princess are destined to be just sw enemies."
Seeing that the third prince was still silent, Kong Xilin's face was more like a layer of frost: "Only when Yu Yu died and let Yu Zhou attack the throne can Yu Dong be used for us."
"Absurd." The third prince shook his head: "At present, if we do it, Yu Yu will die. Yuzhou will become the son of the king of Chu as he wishes, and Yu Dong will die? Since his goal has been reached, can we still make use of him? How can you coerce him to obey?
When Kong Xilin heard the words, he frowned slightly and meditated.
"Yi Dong was also a clan. He did not enjoy the stable wealth and glory, and he was single-minded to seek the throne. Why? It's not influenced by his biological mother. He is paranoid. After all, his heart is too narrow and useless. I don't bother to fight for the loyalty of such people.
When the words fell, he heard Kong Xilin's smile, and his face was full of sarcasm: "Your Highness has been carefully observing for many years and planning to fight for it. Why? It's just an excuse. You still can't let go of the princess. At present, she has become the concubine of the world and is glorious with Yu Yu. As soon as Yu Yu died, isn't she a concubine of the world? This emperor, the wife of the clan, has never heard of the precedent of remarriage.
The third prince also smiled: "Even if I can't let her go, can I see her harmony with Yu Yu and his wife? Xiaowu, when will I be so beautiful?"
Kong Xilin was slightly stunned.
"You're right. Even if I can really get a big position in the future, I can't take a patriarchy as the queen." The third prince snorted coldly: "Let's talk about the matter. In those years, I knew that Yu Dong had an intention. Because he happened to hold the Xishanwei, he had the intention to take advantage of it. Originally, he also thought that Yu was sick and weak, even if he had some talent, it would not be useless. If he died and the king of Chu had no heirs, he had to let Yuzhou attack the throne. But even so, In my hands, I can't allow Yuzhou to take over the troops of the King of Chu! It's just for him to attack a vacant seat and wear the prince's hat.
Seeing that Kong Xilin did not sarcastic any more, the third prince said, "But gradually, it seems that Yu Yu is not what I thought, especially the two things of Bingzhou and Jin Wei. It is hard to imagine that a person who has been in power for only two years and has been ill for many years can solve such a complete solution. The truth of Jin Wei's case is far from what you and I see. Jin Rongzhong's old-fashioned Deep calculation, even if there is no way out, he will not have such a hasty trouble. I guess he must have united with Yuan Qi. There is no epidemic in Xiangzhou. He is nothing more than intending to take Yu as a hostage and threaten the king of Chu to help seize the throne.
Kong Xilin was skeptical: "Why did the emperor let Yuan Qi go?"
"Yuan Qi did not seriously plot against the rebellion. In order to stop the public, the emperor began to implement the reform of the official system. It is not appropriate to investigate and cause chaos." The third prince was confident: "This time I passed through Hunan, and I also secretly inquired, and more and more confirmed the conjecture. It should be that Yu Yu had early insight and entered the tiger's den to persuade Yuan Qi to return."
The third prince pondered again: "The ability of Yu Yu should not be underestimated. At present, they have married again... The two of them are not something that Yu Dong can calculate."
"Therefore, Yu Dong has to be sincere to His Highness." Kong Xilin is still persistent.
"Zheng is because he still has an intention to the throne. If his goal is achieved, he is bound to waver. After all, if he assassinate the crown prince, he will be involved in his family. Yu Zhouzhen has become the best choice to succeed to the throne, and Yu Dong will never take risks again." The third prince sneered: "Don't Xiao Wu know such a simple truth?"
Kong Xilin was silent.
"In addition, I'm afraid that Yu Yu has already understood Yu Dong's malice. Even the Empress Dowager and the Holy Lord may have a bottom in his heart. Even if Yu Yu really has something good or bad, the Holy Lord will not let Yu Zhou attack the Lord."
"In this way, as long as Your Highness lets Yu Dong understand this, he can only place his hope on His Highness and help His Highness get a great position." Kong Xilin's eyes lit up.
"Ye, you finally understand." The third prince nod, but his eyes were still obscure.
"But Yu Yu has always been a threat. Can he not know what His Royal Highness is thinking about the princess?" Kong Xilin is sarcastic.
The third prince glanced at him: "If I am against Yu Yu, it may not be his opponent. At present... in the future, I can still be encircled."
"Can Your Highness really put the overall situation first?" Kong Xilin has always been suspicious.
The third prince smiled gently: "The position of power must be taken, and the mother's revenge must be revenged. Will I ignore the overall situation for the sake of love and marriage?"
Kong Xilin took a deep breath: "But I hope your Highness will be as you said."
"How's my mother recently? Today, when she entered the palace, she comforted me again. In her words, there was also a hidden meaning of the saint's partiality. The third prince smiled and thought of the queen's words, and his eyebrows shook gently.
It's nothing more than secretly blaming the emperor and ignoring his nephew's parents and children. His son is not important in the emperor's heart.
"Your Highness Mingjian, the queen was originally worried about the marriage between the princes and the Duke's government, but she also understood that the king of Chu was extremely loyal to the royal family. The princess became the concubine of the world, and the queen was also relieved." Kong Xilin asked again, "How about Xiliang and his party?"
The third prince smiled sincerely: "There is an unexpected harvest."
But he didn't elaborate. Seeing that there were several wine gourds on the stone table, he picked up one and drank it happily.
"However, I think that the emperor wants to resume the opening of science and scholars, but it is not so easy. Even Xun Gui dares not oppose it at this time, but Qin Xiang will not compromise. Once the Han clan gains power, some families will fall sooner or later, and there will be so many official positions. Qin Xiang is also one who wants to consolidate the power for the fourth princes, and it is not too late to be caged. How can it be separated? A cup of soup. Kong Xilin heard that the third prince finally "considered the overall situation" and was no longer entangled, and the topic changed again.
The third prince smiled and said: "That's right, but it's just that Qin Huaiyu's city mansion is extremely deep and not as domineering as Jinrong. He won't do some things on the surface. This resumes the opening of science and scholars, so that poor students also have the opportunity to enter the official position, but it is not in the past two or three years. If I were him, I would be at this juncture. Touching the holy will, it is like looking at the rising star and deliberately net it. It is not only in line with the holy will, but also consolidate the power. Isn't it two? Most of those families are very hypocritical. On the surface, they are righteous and awe-inspiring. They pay attention to the reputation of the people. In their hearts, they are not only looking for wealth and power. The real family is like the Wei family of peace and leisure. How many are willing?
After meditating for a while, the third prince said, "What Qin Huaiyu valued at present is still to push Lao Si to seize the throne. In the future, if Lao Si can ascend the throne, as the Yue family, won't the Qin family have the power to dominate the world? Are you afraid that you can't win over emerging stars? According to this, some people may not be able to resist the reform of the emperor, and it will not be Qin Huaiyu who will jump out to refute.
Kong Xilin said, "But in my opinion, the Fourth Highness is not allowed to be controlled by Qin Xiang. Concubine Qin has not been favored at present, so she has fallen out of favor. I heard that the two side concubines in the prince's mansion are pregnant."
"No matter how spoiled, she is also the imperial concubine. If the Qin family does not fall, her status will be as stable as Mount Tai. Although Lao Si is not an easy person to control, Qin Huaiyu is not a fool. It's hard to say which is stronger or weak."
Kong Xilin suddenly laughed and said, "Why is the topic getting more and more biased? There are three highnesses, and the fourth highness and Qin Xiang are no match?"
The third prince didn't say anything. After drinking the rest of the gourd wine, he threw it away and raised his foot to the wing room: "Let's not talk about it. Go to bed. I'm tired. I've been looking forward to this couch at home."
