The mansion of the three princes is located on Xicheng Street, and it is the largest mansion here.

Su Yang followed Shen Yutang's carriage and came here, to be honest, it was the first time he saw the place where the third prince Yuanji lived.

Although the scale is very large, there are not many servants, and the mansion seems to be very deserted, and there is not even a doorkeeper at the door.

There was no one to guard it, and naturally there was no way to find someone to report it, but the door of the mansion was open, and you could vaguely see the servants passing by in the courtyard.

Shen Yutang got out of the carriage, straightened his clothes, and the guards who followed him planned to find someone to talk to.

Anyway, this is also the residence of the three princes, how can anyone break in.

But there was no one at the door, and there were also servants in the courtyard, and I could still see a figure just now, but now I saw no one in the courtyard.

The guard was very hesitant, he couldn't shout directly, and he didn't know how he would die.

Shen Yutang also frowned, he obviously didn't expect to encounter such a problem.

Isn't it too ridiculous that the mansion of the three princes is not even a gatekeeper?

Could it be that the situation of the three princes is so unbearable? There is not even money to invite one more subordinate?

Shen Yutang retreated, even if the third prince was not welcomed, he would not be so deserted, and there must be someone standing guard at the door of the merchant's mansion with a little money.

Just as he hesitated, a figure suddenly appeared beside him, a young man with an extraordinary temperament.

But Shen Yutang didn't react for a while, and looked at the other party in surprise.

And the young man grinned toothily and said, "Lord Shen wants to visit His Royal Highness the Third Prince? ”

Su Yang looked at Shen Yutang with a smile, the latter looked surprised, and he didn't know who the person who suddenly appeared was.

"Can you do it for me?"

"Naturally. Su Yang nodded.

Shen Yutang's face was serious, and he said, "You are from the palace of His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"

"It's not. Su Yang shook his head.

"Then how do you get through?" Shen Yutang frowned.

"It's simple. Su Yang smiled, turned around and stepped directly into the mansion.

Shen Yutang looked at this scene in amazement.

is not a person from the Three Princes' Mansion, how dare he enter the house in such a grand manner?

He was thinking that this person would be beaten out after a while, but he didn't expect to see the other party walk out unharmed, and there was a person behind him.

"I've already passed it, Lord Shen, please. Su Yang said with a smile.

Che Xingchao looked at Shen Yutang indifferently and said, "I am a close attendant of His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness has invited Lord Shen into the mansion." ”

Shen Yutang was extremely stunned, this is indeed the mansion of the Three Princes, and the person who can come out of it will naturally be the person of the Three Princes.

But who is this young man?

Not only can you step into the mansion casually, but you can also let the third prince invite you into the mansion?

But in any case, this may be his chance.

When Su Yang was following, he changed out of the clothes of the Heavenly Book Pavilion, otherwise Shen Yutang would not have been so surprised.

After all, the disciple of Tianshu Pavilion has a noble status, not to mention a prince who is not welcomed, even if he is a prince, there is no reason not to see him.

What's more, Su Yang already knew the third prince Yuanji, but he just let him see someone, and Yuanji would still give him this face.

Shen Yutang's guards couldn't enter and were blocked out, and he walked into the mansion alone with Su Yang with Che Xingchao.

In the middle hall, the three princes Yuanji is drinking tea, in front of him is a tea table carved from coral stone, on the table is an agarwood tea case, there is a warm and clean teapot and teacup on the table, and there is a small hand-held carbon stove next to it, and a thick hot mist wafts out of the spout of the water pot on the stove, which is already boiling.

In such a hot summer, Yuanji didn't seem to feel the heat brought by the charcoal furnace at all, wearing thin clothes, and his face was extremely calm.

Shen Yutang glanced at Yuan Ji slightly, and then immediately lowered his head, waved his hand and saluted: "Shen Yutang, the official servant, see His Highness." ”

Glancing at the tiny tea residue in the cup in front of him, Yuan Ji didn't look at Shen Yutang, but lifted the boiling kettle and poured two cups of hot tea.

"Tea?"

Shen Yutang was sincerely frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Even though the teacup was hot, he didn't care, holding it tightly in his hand.

Su Yang also picked up a cup of tea and raised his eyes to look at Yuan Ji, who also glanced at him.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Yuan Ji looked at Shen Yutang and said, "Lord Shen is looking for me, is there anything wrong?"

Shen Yutang hurriedly said: "Xiaguan arrived in the capital yesterday, and I heard that His Highness has returned, so I came to see him. ”

Yuan Ji got straight to the point and said, "Lord Shen wants to vote under my door?"

Shen Yutang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the third prince to be so straightforward.

Yuan Ji ignored him and continued: "You should know why I returned to the capital, you came to visit me at this time, except to test me, there should be no other purpose." ”

Shen Yutang's heart sank.

"Lord Shen has the responsibility of supervision, but his authority is in Dongning City, and this time he returned to the capital, presumably to find a better future. Since Lord Shen is already an incumbent official, there must be no way to be promoted. Otherwise, your position would have been promoted a long time ago, and if you don't get promoted today, you will naturally not have much opportunity in the future. But if I succeed, you will be an important minister, and you will be crowned with an official position casually, far beyond your current status. ”

Yuan Ji glanced up at him and said with a smile: "Although Lord Shen is a civil official, he is a powerful cultivator, and according to your cultivation, even being a general is more than enough." In this case, what if you don't give it a try?"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness said. Shen Yutang nodded again and again in horror.

"But if it's gambling, you also have two choices, one is to take refuge in me and have a good future. The other is to capture me, a chaotic thief, and get a great reward. In the end, Yuan Ji's eyes became cold,

Shen Yutang's heart was awe-inspiring again, and he hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Your Highness, Xia Guan will never have that kind of thought!"

"Of course you won't have, and you shouldn't. Yuan Ji looked at him and said coldly: "I am still the third prince of Great Wei, and I have not rebelled, so no one is qualified to take me down for absolute reasons." As long as I don't move, I will always be the third prince, and your second choice will not be realized.

On the other hand, if you fall under my door, I can do something in the future, and then it will be too late for you to repent, won't you?"

Shen Yutang was drenched in cold sweat, and was shocked by the spirit of the three princes.

It is true that if Yuan Ji does not commit a crime, he can still be safe and sound, and if he wants to rely on this to seek a high position, let alone forever, it will not be possible for at least ten years.

But under the premise of Yuan Ji seeking power, Shen Yutang must make a choice first, which is equivalent to giving him only the only choice.

If Shen Yutang was asked to wait for another ten years, or even longer, he would naturally not be willing to wait.

Then, he can only choose to take refuge in the third prince.

But the premise is that the three princes can really succeed, and if they fail, Shen Yutang will definitely die.

It was precisely because of this that Shen Yutang wanted to explore the tone of the three princes and the crown prince Yuanxi, but he never expected that he had just visited the three princes, and the back road was completely blocked.

The depth of the three princes' scheming is really outrageous.

If he doesn't make a choice at this moment, it is equivalent to making a choice, that is, to become the enemy of the Three Princes.

In this way, he will not want to walk out of the house door half a step today.

Shen Yutang's face turned pale, if he didn't take refuge in the third prince, he would die here today, he had no choice.

In fact, he had never seen the Third Prince, but he had only heard of this person, and when he saw it today, he realized what a terrible person he was.

Perhaps, with such a third prince, if he wants to succeed, he can really do it.

As Yuan Ji said, this is a gamble, a gamble related to Shen Yutang's future future.

Since you want to gamble, it naturally comes with risks.

What's more, he can only bet that the third prince can win now, otherwise, not to mention a good future in the future, he will have to die now.

After Yuan Ji said these words, he no longer paid attention to Shen Yutang, but looked at Su Yang.

Su Yang smiled at him, what Yuan Ji said just now was true and false, maybe in Yuan Ji's heart, he didn't think about rebellion at all, he returned to the capital, just to ask for an explanation.

But since Su Yang brought Shen Yutang here, although the two did not discuss it, Yuan Ji immediately understood what Su Yang meant.

Only then did he say such a thing to Shen Yutang.

Shen Yutang, who was kept in the dark, didn't know what Yuan Ji was thinking, but from his words, he heard the sonorous words, and he also understood that the three princes had the chance to succeed.

He has secretly made a decision to take refuge in the third prince!

......

Shen Yutang wiped the cold sweat on his head, hurriedly exited the mansion of the third prince, and returned to his mansion in a hurry in the carriage.

Now that he has made a decision, for the sake of his own good future, of course he has to think about the third prince, and he must not be caught, let alone dare to stay here for a long time.

Only Su Yang and the Third Prince Yuanji were left in the hall, and Che Xingchao was waiting on the side.

Glancing at Su Yang, Yuan Ji smiled and said, "Brother Chu is playing this today, what is the purpose?"

"Your Highness cooperated so well, I almost believed that we were colluding. Su Yang said with a smile.

"Although Shen Yutang is a servant of the imperial history, he has never done anything, if it weren't for the fact that he is a great cultivator, I'm afraid my father would have deposed him a long time ago. ”

Yuan Ji's return to the capital was after a careful investigation, except for the period on the way, that is, the days before he arrived in the capital, basically everything that happened in Luoyang City, big and small, he knew.

Even if it was far away from the capital, such as Shen Yutang and others, Yuan Ji also sent someone to investigate.

"Although the position of the imperial historian is not large, it has the duty of supervision, and it is also a very important position. He thought that his father did not reuse him, but on the contrary, it was precisely because his father reused him that he was given this position. Does he think that the bigger the official position, the more he is trusted by the emperor? Sometimes, it is the most inconsequential position, and the person sitting above it is the one who really makes an emperor trust. ”
