Chapter 205: The Contest (Part II)
For the sake of the royal family, or for the benefit of individuals and a certain group of people, the queen must be patient and wait until she has enough strength to push her into the abyss in one fell swoop, and Yang Xing, the illegitimate child, is the only hope for the queen now, and the key to restraining the prime minister from holding on to her power.

The queen thought that Yang Xing was a country boy who had never seen the world, as long as she brought it into the palace, she would fall under her control, she could manipulate everything behind her back, and gradually regain the right to take revenge to cover the sky, but she didn't expect that Yang Xing unexpectedly wanted to stay in Dongzhou, and he was very bold to express his desire for military power, which the queen did not expect.
Before, the queen wanted to refuse sternly and force Yang Xing to return to the palace as soon as possible, but after thinking about it, she felt that this was also a very good opportunity, an opportunity to claim back the military power, and the queen was full of confidence in whether Yang Xing was still capable of controlling the military power after controlling it.
After a while, Xu Hanwen put down the letter in his hand, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "Does the queen confirm that this person is the son of the former emperor?" The queen unfolded a picture scroll on the case, and the person painted on it was Yang Xing.
Xu Hanwen looked at Yang Xing's portrait for a long time, and smiled faintly: "There are seven points similar to the first emperor, it seems that the queen has already determined that this person is the third prince." ”
The queen said expressionlessly: "What does the prime minister think of the matter of justifying the name?" ”
The prime minister sighed and said: "This matter is very important, we must be cautious, Weichen feels that it is better to wait for His Royal Highness to return to the palace before making plans, and use the secret method in the palace to identify its authenticity, so as to cover the mouth of the people and correct the royal bloodline." ”
The queen did not speak, and the prime minister was silent for a moment and continued: "His Royal Highness the prince is concerned about the safety of the empire, which is the benevolence of His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness has a noble status and is not easy to risk his life, and I also ask the queen to persuade His Royal Highness to put the royal family first and return to Zhongjing as soon as possible to inherit the throne, so as to appease the worries of the people in the world." ”
The queen looked at Xu Hanwen: "The palace and the prime minister have different views, as he said in his letter, it is his responsibility as a member of the royal family to defend the country, and it is also the duty of an emperor, the palace feels that this is a great righteousness, as an elder, the palace is pleased, and asks the prime minister to give enough support to state affairs." ”
Xu Hanwen stood up and saluted: "As the prime minister, it is the duty of the minister to serve the country, but now the empire is worried about internal and external troubles, there is the Ningyuan Empire in the east, and the Liusang Empire in the south is invading Nanzhou. ”
Without waiting for the queen to say anything, Xu Hanwen changed his words: "Chang Xun left his post without permission, I don't know what the queen thinks?" ”
Queen Dai's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Chang Xun went to Dongzhou to find the third prince on the order of the palace, can the prime minister have any objections?" ”
A cold light flashed in Xu Hanwen's eyes: "Her Royal Highness the Queen is the head of the harem, and there are many affairs, so it is good to leave the affairs of the empire to the ministers, so as not to hurt the phoenix body." ”
The queen's apricot eyes were angry: "The prime minister can do his part well, the palace has its own decision on the royal matter, since the third prince wants to stay in Dongzhou to serve the country, the palace feels very good." ”
Xu Hanwen's eyes were micron, and he didn't give an inch: "I still want the queen to focus on the overall situation, and she can't let His Royal Highness the Third Prince act arbitrarily, not to mention that His Royal Highness's identity is not confirmed, how can he be given heavy power?" Once His Royal Highness's status is slightly worse and the empire is in danger, please also ask the queen to put the empire first. ”
Next, there was another war of words, Xu Hanwen held the power of the army, and the queen failed to shake it under pressure several times, Xu Hanwen almost turned his face, oppressed people with power, and the queen was weak, so she had to compromise and compromise again.
As soon as Xu Hanwen walked out of the Yong'an Palace, there was a sound of broken porcelain behind him, Xu Hanwen sneered slightly: "It's just a woman, and you still want to fight for power with me?" ”
In the Yong'an Palace, the palace maid carefully packed up the fragments of the teacup and retreated, and brought it to the palace door, the queen's face was full of anger, she smiled contemptuously, and said in a calm tone: "Situ Zheng, what do you think?" ”
As soon as the queen's words fell, a person walked out from behind the screen, this person was in his thirties, of medium stature, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, red lips and white teeth, and a feminine air on his body.
Situ Zheng bowed and walked in front of the queen, and said in a shrieked voice: "It seems that this third prince is not a mediocre talent, and now he seems to be aware of it, but the old slave thinks that this matter is an opportunity for us." ”
The queen looked at Situ Zheng: "What do you say?" ”
Situ Zheng replied: "Now that the prime minister is powerful, our side is weak, and the queen as a harem cannot participate in the government, the prime minister is constantly suppressing this, and Her Royal Highness the queen has to regard it as weak, but the three princes are different, since he is aware of it and secretly develops his power, we can secretly add fuel to the fire, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits." ”
The queen nodded and asked with interest, "Tell me more." ”
Situ Zheng took out a file and presented it, and the queen opened it to check it, all the things recorded in it were about Yang Xing, and even the information about the people around him was also readily available, and the name Yuan Fang, which was mentioned the most, appeared in front of the queen's eyes again.
Xu Hanwen returned to the mansion and also looked through a ciphertext, which also recorded Yang Xing's recent movements, and later mentioned Yuan Fang's appearance in Mai Qinghe, I don't know how Yuan Fang would feel when he saw these two completely different and similar pieces of information, maybe he didn't dare to think about it.
On the fifteenth day of the Maiqinghe tragedy, Yang Xingdu, who was in Dongzhou, was about to go crazy, so many days have passed, Yuan Fang has no news at all, and has sent several waves of people to find him so far, but there is no news, only to get that they once appeared on the bank of the Maiqing River, making a lot of noise, and now they are wanted by Nanping County.
In the palace, in the Yong'an Palace, the queen frowned slightly after listening to Situ Zheng's return: "Is this Yuan Fang really that important?" Can influence the decision of that wild species? ”
Situ Zheng nodded affirmatively and said: "The information found is like this, it is said that the two of them are like brothers, the little doctor named Yuan Fang once saved that person's life, and later went to a medical clinic in Huanyu County together, and also got a bicycle and a thermometer, and that Yuan Fang is a very powerful doctor, who can cure colic." ”
The queen was a little impatient and said, "I've seen all this, let's talk about him as a person." ”
Situ Zheng thought for a while and said: "The philistine is greedy for money, a little smart, likes to make friends, and then there is this person who attaches more importance to feelings. ”
The queen nodded slightly, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and muttered to herself: "Heavy feelings, well, good, very good." ”
Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Hanwen put down the file in his hand and closed his eyes and pondered, in the same way, he was very interested in Yuan Fang, who often appeared on the file, and wanted to see what kind of character this guy who could make the third prince know his identity and still be called the boss, if he could, he didn't mind taking some advantage to pull him under his command, as long as he controlled Yuan Fang, the third prince was not enough to rely on, even if he couldn't control it, as for Chang Xun, in Xu Hanwen's eyes, he was just a reckless man who only knew how to lead troops to fight, and he didn't pay attention to it.
