Chapter 105: A Matter of Negotiation (4k)

I'll see it later......

In the scorching summer sun, the forbidden army outside the General's Mansion stood still, sweat washing out marks on his face. After a long time, some people couldn't help but scold: "When will this hellish day be the end?" ”

The person who spoke was the leader of the forbidden army, and he had no errands to do these days, just waiting outside the general's mansion. The people above didn't say what to do, and he could only stay at the gate of this general's mansion all day long.

The former lieutenant general standing beside the leader had just returned from the prince's place, and seeing that the boss was full of anger, he whispered to the leader: "When I came over, the prince was talking to Mr. Zhou about this matter, and when I heard the prince's intentions, I was afraid that he was going to do it." ”

The leader of the forbidden army was startled, looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so he approached the deputy general and asked, "What did Mr. Zhou say?" ”

The adjutant general bowed his head and said, "Mr. Zhou didn't say anything. ”

Without saying it, it was a tacit acquiescence, and the leader suddenly felt the blood boiling in his chest, and his face was also a little excited. The words of the leader and deputy general of the forbidden army here dispersed with the wind, and no one heard them......

And the words of building momentum for the General's Mansion in Jinling City gradually fell silent, as if it had not happened at all some time ago. At the same time, the former ministers of the former dynasty led by Liu Ye got together to discuss major matters.

Former Guangluxun Liu Ye, former Lang Zhongling Wei Yan, and former Fengchang Liu Wen.

These three people are all old members of the Sima clan, who have been dismissed or demoted for various reasons, and have been carefully avoided for many years, just to protect the last legacy of the Sima clan - Sima Chun, that is, the identity of Wang Lie.

The three of them couldn't help but feel the impermanence of the years when they saw each other this time, and the elder Wei Yan sighed: "I have waited for decades, but now goodbye is a thing or a person, alas, ......" He has been demoted for a long time, and his current official position is ...... Don't talk about it.

Liu Wenwen also sighed. He and Wei Yan were also demoted by the Son of Heaven, but Wei Yan still stayed in Jinling, but he was like being expelled, and he was gone for decades. Now that he has quietly returned, he can't even enter his home, how can he not sigh?

Liu Ye sighed when he saw the two old friends, and he also had a sense of being a person. Said: "Farewell for many years. I never thought that when we waited for us to meet, the sky lived up to our waiting, and we waited for the face to meet the emperor. ”

The three of them sighed. Ran Tan, who had never spoken, said: "Inviting the three of you over today is not to catch up, let's get down to business first!" ”

When the three of them heard this, their eyes froze, and they all looked at Ran Tan. If it were usual, Ran Tan might not change his color when they met. But one of the three, he didn't dare to be disrespectful.

If it weren't for the creation of people, Wei Yan would be his Taishan. When the son-in-law saw his father-in-law, he always felt a little weak, and he also sent Wei Yan's daughter to such a place...... Ran Tan coughed lightly, trying in vain to hide his discomfort. But he didn't want Wei Yan to let him go at all, frowned, and asked him, "Who is your master's family?" ”

Come up and ask this question. Ran Tan had a headache. Although Wei Yan did not order him to keep it secret, the time was not yet ripe. With the mentality of these three old men who have spent half their lives in the world, they may not be able to do bad things after knowing Wei Yan's identity. However, he couldn't say a word, Ran Tan bowed his hand as soon as he thought about it, and replied: "The time is not yet ripe, so I can't say it, but the identity of the master of Wushuang is the same as that of everyone here, and it is also the old man of the previous dynasty, please don't question this." ”

Ran Tan's words made the three of them even more suspicious, and Liu Ye even questioned: "Since they are both old people, why do you hide them and dare not see people?" In the past, when the bloodline of the previous dynasty was in trouble, why didn't he come forward? At this time, let's talk about the old people, heh! The old man suspects that your master's motives are not pure! ”

Ran Tan was questioned by Liu Ye like this, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Heart: The old guy is really scheming, and he asks the key to the question in one sentence. For example, Lang Jun and Jiao Niang of the General's Mansion, the two of them are convinced of Wei Yan's motives, and they only want to be Wei Yan's gentleman, and they may have to praise it behind their backs......

Ran Qin secretly kept slandering himself, but his words were extremely legitimate: "The time has not yet come!" After saying the four words, he paused, and continued: "The orphans of the Sima clan have not grown up, if they make a rash move, they are afraid that the country will not be taken back, and the only bloodline of the Sima clan will be compensated, is this what everyone here wants to see?" ”

Ran Tan's rhetorical words were solemn, and he was serious. The other three people present were stopped by these words, and they all lost their voices.

After being silent for a long time, Ran Tan got down to business: "Please gather the three of you today, the main family has something to explain, please listen to the three of you." When today's son is old, and the three princes under him were expelled by the Son of Heaven because of the fact that they were stationed in the army, you must have heard of it. ”

They knew about the expulsion of the three princes, but they didn't know that the three princes were disgusted by the Son of Heaven because of the "garrison", and the three of them were surprised for a while.

Ran Qin didn't know what to do, and continued: "As soon as the third prince left, now only the crown prince and the second prince are left. The second prince's quest for immortality is false, and his reluctance to face the culprit of the mother clan is true. Now that the second prince has entered the WTO in a high-profile manner, I am afraid that he is here for revenge. ”

The prophecy of the second prince came true, and the limelight was unlimited for a while. The prince tried in vain to humiliate the second prince on the grounds that he had no heirs, but he didn't want the second prince to make a plan, so he joined forces with the prince's enemy and gentleman at the banquet, showed himself in a high-profile manner, and pushed himself to the forefront, and was in the limelight in Jinling for a while.

Wei Yan and the crown prince joined forces at the beginning to make a hostile posture, and later because Wei Yan and the second prince joined forces, this illusion became a fact. The twists and turns of this were unknown to the three people present, and Ran Tan had no intention of explaining. But when it comes to the second prince's entry into the WTO to take revenge, he is emotional.

At the beginning, the Yu family did not ascend the throne, and the biological mother of the second prince was only the daughter of a concubine and was not taken seriously. Later, the ambition of the Yu family was exposed, and the mother family of the two princes helped each other, and after the Yu family ascended the throne, the daughter of the concubine became a concubine. It was a win-win situation, but then I don't know what happened, the second prince's mother's family suffered a catastrophe, and the reason is still unknown.

Ran Qin sighed again and continued: "The second prince is bent on revenge, and he has no intention of caring about anything else, and now there is only the prince left in the Yu family. ”

Before Ran Qin finished speaking, Liu Ye said: "The prince has done countless absurd things over the years, and the people's hearts have been lost, so there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Liu Ye said this, but Ran Tan shook his head and said: "Liu Gong is wrong, the prince is ridiculous, but he is not fearless. On the contrary, if the prince is not ridiculous, with his situation, I am afraid that this Dalin will not be able to tolerate him for a long time. ”

It is true that the three princes are outstanding, but their ambitions are equally obvious. Over the years, there have been many moves to win the courtiers and the hearts of the people. On the contrary, the crown prince is absurd, often self-defeating, and in the end the people's hearts are lost. With the suspicious heart of the Son of Heaven, I am more assured that who is clear at a glance.

This is also the reason why the prince is ridiculous, but the Son of Heaven still has not deposed him as a prince. At the end of the day, it's still reassuring...... The prince knew that he was clumsy. Endure to this day. This mind, this means, is not enough to be afraid?

The three people who had been stumbling so far were shocked when they heard this. Immediately, Liu Ye smiled bitterly and said, "I have been in officialdom for decades in vain......"

Ran Tan smiled. said: "Liu Gong has been running for a livelihood in recent years, how can he calm down and plan carefully? "Liu Gong didn't have enough food, although his ambition was undiminished, but he was weak. It can last up to this day. Ran Qin has to say a word of admiration, and it is normal not to know some things.

When Liu Gong heard it, Ran Tan's words did not mean to be derogatory. Calmly accepted Ran Tan's words and asked Ran Tan: "What can we do now?" ”

Ran Qin smiled and replied, "Build momentum!" ”

Wang Heng's trip to the north lasted longer than expected, so it was redundant to build momentum in one fell swoop. Now Wei Yan and Wang Xianyu's wedding date is approaching. Wang Heng has also made progress on his side, and the plan for the future has been completed, which is still going to be built. Ran Qin continued: "It's obviously not very useful to build momentum just to advocate that the Yu clan is not good. We are orthodox. Naturally, Sima Shi also has to be taken out. At that time, as soon as Sima's legacy comes out, the comparison of which is better and which is worse will be immediately revealed. ”

Only by comparing can we show what is valuable. And Sima Shi is on the people's tongue again. The second prince is also good at acting. The Son of Heaven is strong enough to accept Wang Xianyu, and the words "orthodoxy" must be brought out again to have a follow-up......

"The lord has another thing to order, the old ministers of the previous dynasty have not had a good death, and there are countless people who are depressed, if you can invite these people out of the mountain, it is also a help to the Sima family, and please bother more."

As soon as Ran Qin said this, the three people present all bowed.

When Wei Yan wrote anonymously to the three men months ago, they certainly didn't believe it at first. Later, Ran Tan said some words after meeting with Liu Ye, which made Liu Ye take a serious heart, and at that time he had already taken action: the dead old friends were put aside for the time being, and he who was still alive in Jinling visited them one by one, and now he has many allies.

Things are not imminent, but there are always better days to look forward to. The three of them were all emotional, and then they discussed with Ran Qin for a long time before they dispersed.

*************

The news that Princess Yan was looking for someone close to her in Jinling City spread far and wide, but most people avoided it. How many people can compare with a gentleman in Jinling City? It's not a shame, it's better than marrying a princess...... No matter how you look at it, it's troublesome!

When Jinling Erlang was dodging, Ji Wu couldn't wait to tear these unseeded men apart and feed them to the dogs. It's one thing for her to be unwilling, and it's another for others to be avoided. With her appearance and her family background, how could she have been humiliated like this in Dayan?

With anger, Ji Wu went straight to the palace, but before he saw the Son of Heaven, he was blocked by the oncoming carriage. can use such a luxurious carriage in the palace, except for the concubines, there are only princesses. As soon as the thought turned, Ji Wu half-closed his eyes, guessing the intention of the person in his heart.

Before Ji Wu could think about it, a girl's soft voice came from inside the carriage, and said, "But Princess Yan?" The palace is far away, and Huairou gives the princess a ride. ”

Huairou? Ji Wu immediately remembered who this person was, the sister of the three princes who were expelled. I heard that a few days ago, I had already decided on a family affair and was going to marry Zhao Guo. Now that you are not preparing for marriage, what are you looking for her to do? Ji Wu doesn't believe that any "coincidences" are all leftovers from her play.

"Thank you, princess, for your kindness." She wanted to see what the moths were.

Ji Wu stepped on the horse unceremoniously, and when she entered, she saw a delicate little lady looking at her with a smile, and saluted her: "Princess Ji Wu is well." ”

Ji Wu also returned the salute, and the two princesses, who had never known each other, took advantage of the carriage to walk towards the palace together.

The carriage on the road was silent for a long time, but the maid waiting in the car held the brocade box and handed it to Princess Huairou and said, "The princess is taking medicine." Princess Huairou seemed to be a little tired, and waved her hand and said that she didn't want to eat. When the maid heard this, she immediately became a little worried, and said, "When the imperial doctor ordered the pulse, he said that the princess was exhausted, what if the princess didn't eat?" ”

Ji Wu on the side saw that the master and servant were like this, and asked with a smile: "Princess Huairou, what's wrong?" ”

Without waiting for Huairou to speak, the maid told her princess the cause. Speaking of which, this matter can be traced back to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, where she fell in love with the gentleman, but the gentleman favored Wang Xianyu a lot. The gentleman rejected her first, but Wang Xianyu later deliberately humiliated her in every way, making her lose face.

It's too late to dodge with Wang Xianyu's temper, where can he dare to humiliate this princess? It's just that Princess Huairou is extremely proud, and after being rejected by Wei Yan, she became hostile when she saw a girl beside Wei Yan, so although Wang Xianyu's words and deeds had no other intentions, they had become Wang Xianyu's provocation to her in her world...... Speaking of which, this princess's cranky thinking skills are also beyond the reach of others.

After that, we have to talk about his brother and the third prince. When the third prince was expelled, she went to look for her brother in a hurry, and when she asked the reason for the royal brother, the third prince said that the prince and the gentleman used tricks to harm him. During that time, the prince and the gentleman were in a uproar because of the competition for Wang Xianyu, and she immediately guessed the reason, and her unquenched resentment against Wang Xianyu became hatred......
