Chapter 399 Planning to Buy, Two Birds with One Stone
A courtyard of green trees, under the flying eaves and sandalwood columns, on the drunken chair set up in the pavilion, the lake blue robe was lifted by the breeze. The man with his arms on the chair looked at his eyes and crossed his legs, as if looking at the clouds in the sky. The spring on the purple sand tea stove had been murmured. The maid knelt beside her breath and was waiting for the soup. .
Chen Changshi came all the way. Although he was not basking in the sun much, his forehead was also full of sweat. When he came to the pavilion, he bowed to the fourth prince and raised his face with a smile on duty.
"Did they meet their heads?" The fourth prince's voice was still lazy and hoarse, but he sat up. He happened to see the maid rushing out a cup of tea soup and pointed to Chen Changshi: "Give Changshi a cup to quench his thirst."
As soon as he lifted the robe, put down his legs, buckled the tea cup and tasted the fragrance first. He slightly rolled the warm soup on the tip of his tongue and swallowed his throat comfortably. Then he heard Chen Changshi say, "Today, the Third Highness really made an appointment with Huang Tao and went to Yihong Street before arriving at the prince's mansion."
The fourth prince raised his long eyebrows and was quite interesting: "My third brother, for a woman, is crazy..." He laughed and said, "I trusted Qianpan so easily. She sent a letter back and said that Huang Tao was actually the third brother. I can't believe it. The eldest brother and the three are deeply affectionate, and the queen also treats the third brother. Like a biological child..." He said twice: "It turns out that the third brother is pretending. I said how to be an idle person and said that he was reformed and conscientious, and his father actually gave him the Shuntian Mansion."
Chen Changshi said with a smile, "Your Highness is still in charge of the household department."
"Don't underestimate Shuntianfu, which is not only the name of Kyoto, and its authority is comparable to that of the military government. At present, the third brother is in charge and can even be involved in six affairs." Although the fourth prince said so, he was not cautious between his eyebrows. He was the most zodiac emperor among several princes, that is, the curved of the phoenix's eyes, and it was more obvious that when Chen Guifei gave birth to this son, she got the last sentence "Xiao I". Chen Guifei then had the confidence and always thought that if the prince did not occupy a direct leader, he would not compare with him. The fourth prince is even more holy.
Not long ago, the emperor let several adult princes be involved in politics. The prince was in charge of the Ministry of Public Affairs and the Ministry of Ceremonies. King Fu hung a title in the Ministry of Industry. The emperor originally wanted the third prince to go to the military department to experience, but he wanted Shuntianfu instead.
The fourth prince is still very satisfied with the household department assigned to him, but on the one hand, the third prince is jealous. He is thinking that he and the prince are in charge of the official department and the ceremonial department, and the other hand of the highest administration of Kyoto. The scenery is infinite and can't be compared by others. Qin Xiangxiang has the opportunity to adend Yizhu. Is it really the right time? Unexpectedly, I heard about the separation between the third prince and the prince.
"After all, he is an unruly prodigal. If he really wants to use Huang Tao, why does he take revenge for a woman and make things so obvious? Huang Tao can not only carry the prince, but this time he suffered such a big loss... Not to mention a green hat on his head, he is also a member of the clan and a loss of officials, which can be regarded as a failure. Why don't you grit your teeth with hatred? Shouldn't the third? Huang Tao doesn't dare to carry him anymore? The fourth prince is quite contemptuous.
"Your Highness, the third prince doesn't know that you know that this matter will be used. He thinks that Huang Tao will lose his officialdom and must rely on him." Chen Changshi reminded.
The fourth prince raised his thumb, scratched his chin, and seemed to nod slightly: "Think about it, Huang Tao, what can Lao San do with him at this point?"
"The prince is not evil Huang Tao after all. Besides, Kong Jun and Huang Tao have a good relationship."
The fourth prince smiled again and smiled: "Don't worry, how capable Huang Tao is. Let's take a look first. Lao San looked at him at first, and there should be a certain reason... Lao San wants to act without money. The silver allocated in the palace is not enough to squander. Huang Tao admitted that he had dealings with the Liao family. Is it using the Liao family's money? Did you support the third brother?"
The fourth prince was deeply troubled by money and silver. Although many houses and Lutian were allocated in the palace at the time of the establishment of the palace, of course, if he wanted to be a prince, he would not be overstretched, but once he wanted to pursue a great career, the dead man must be raised. Of course, his subordinates also had to be fed, and he had to make friends with those children of the hope clan to buy the court officials. He had Chen and Kong. Family assistance is still difficult. The third prince has no support from his mother's family and no wife's assistance. He wants to make a great cause. Where did this money come from?
"It shouldn't be like this. If Your Highness doesn't have this ability, how can you subdue Huang Tao?" Chen Changshi was slandered, and the lord had to let the subordinates take the silver. There is no such thing as black and white upside down: "Anyway, we know that Huang Tao and his sister are malicious to Jianninghou and the sons and sisters of the Duke of Wei, and the Third Highness, to the concubine of the King of Chu... Huang Tao, even if forced by the situation, he had to rely on the Third Highness. But he must be unwilling. As long as His Highness is solicited, Huang Tao will inevitably defect. There is him outside and there is hope inside. We are afraid that we don't know the calculation of the Third Highness. It is better to stone two birds with one stone. With the help of the third Highness in addition to the prince, he also proves that he has been pregnant early. His Highness can enjoy the benefits of fishermen.
The fourth prince's eyebrows moved, and the corners of his lips smiled more: "That's the reason. Pay attention to Huang Tao first. Even if you want to win him over, you have to find a suitable time."
This day, an angry visitor also came to the Chu Palace.
It was the wife of the prince of Zhenguo who touched a nose on Wei Xiang's mansion earlier.
Xie Siniang has long been married. Although there are still Sanniang in front of her, Mrs. Xie did not slack off on the marriage of Si Niang. She had never considered the Wei family. In the past, there was Jin Rongzhong, and Wei Ji still had no power. Mrs. Xie didn't pay attention to it at all. Unexpectedly, Wei Ji abandoned the secret and turned to the Duke of Wei. The effect was obvious. It is easy to see that there is a illustrious worship. The Duke of Zhen was far away from the court and did not know that Wei Xiang was just a decoration. He only thought that the Wei family would become a new nobleman, which moved the idea of marriage.
Originally, she made friends with Mrs. Wei step by step, but she finally mentioned the marriage of her children. Looking at Mrs. Wei's expression, she seemed to be a little moved. Mrs. Xie was full of confidence. Unexpectedly, not long after, Mrs. Wei's attitude turned straight and even disappeared behind closed, let alone marriage.
Mrs. Xie was confused. She didn't know which link had a problem. She took care of her relatives before finding out her mother's sister-in-law. It was the brother-in-law who married Mrs. Wei's sister-in-law. She quickly prepared a gift and asked her sister-in-law Cao to go to Mrs. Wei to turn around.
Cao returned and pulled Mrs. Xie and sighed: "This didn't work out. Mrs. Wei didn't say it clearly, but listening to her, it seemed that it was because of your aunt that you offended the eldest princess."
Mrs. Xie was shocked: "How do you say this? Who doesn't know that the status of the eldest princess is noble? Even if I meet her, I can only be respectful. I can't even welcome her. How dare to offend her?" I had doubts for a moment. To put it, the pearl on the palm of the eldest princess is the concubine of the king of Chu at present, and she is also a relative of the Xie family. How can this matter be bad here?
I quickly asked my cronies to ask if the eldest princess had any misunderstanding about her.
Each government has its own circle of connections outside. It is always inevitable to discuss some gossip privately, and there may be clues.
As a result, Mrs. Xie quickly heard the truth, and the source of the source was the King's Mansion of Chu - it turned out that Xiao Xie actually provoked the old princess to go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Before her daughter left the cabinet, she pleaded with the eldest princess to nod and accepted the third mother of the Xie family as her concubine!
Mrs. Xie was so angry that even the son of Xie was also furious. She sued the Duke of Zhen: "When my mother was alive, she was very indulgent to girls. Before my mother died of illness, she also warned her son to take care of my sister. Over the years, my sister has asked, and my son is incumbent on her son, but this time she is really too Excessively, Sanniang's reputation was bad in the hands of Yuzhou. The son even promised to let Erlang marry his wife and welcome Sanniang. For this reason, he even delayed the marriage of Si Niang and several nieces. Unexpectedly, the sister had no intention of welcoming Sanniang through the door, but forced her to..."
Xie Shizi's eyes were so angry that he opened his eyes: "How can you not know about Sanniang and Yuzhou? Thanks to the girl, you can think of it. This makes the prince think of our Xie family and the eldest princess. What should we look at our town government? No, even if there is a mother's last words, the son can't tolerate it this time. He must ask the sister for an explanation."
Therefore, Mrs. Xie cried bitterly in front of the old princess and rebuked Xiao Xie until she was forced Xiao Xie and Yu Dong to nod, choose a good day, and set a day for San Niang to enter the house.
Xie was so angry that he fell two sets of teacups and complained that Xie Shizi, the eldest brother, did not care about her sister. For the sake of a common daughter, he completely ignored Yu Zhou's position. His wife was undecided. How could he marry such a noble concubine first?
Yijing heard that Yuzhou's good day was set in September, but he prepared a congratulatory gift very enthusiastically. Although taking a concubine is not as good as marrying a wife, it is not a serious and happy thing. At least Xie Sanniang is also the nephew of the old princess. No matter what, Xiao Xie has to hold several banquets with a smile and invite relatives and friends to congratulate him. The King of Chu is happy. Of course, the imperial concubine also has to say something.
He also said that Huang Tao was warned by the third prince and did not dare to be careless. He immediately made an appointment with Yu Dong. The two pushed the cup and changed the cup. The wine was strong and his tongue was big. Huang Tao advised him bitterly: "Yu Yu is a vigilant, and now he has a wise internal helper. It is more difficult for the general to find the opportunity. He should also focus on the overall situation and look forward to the future. Don't startle the snake again, but let people pinch the handle. Yusheng's family is honest. Although the general is a clan, if he really catches the evidence, the emperor may not be able to deal with it. He also mentioned the third prince: "To tell you the truth, Your Highness has not changed his feelings for Jing'er. He looked at it coldly, as if he didn't want to let go. The general thought about it, you didn't do anything. In the future, when your Highness won the throne, how could you tolerate Yu Yu?"
