Chapter 52 Consideration

Yun Fenghuang took a sip of tea and said slowly: "You are really young, you may have forgotten one thing: Yushan died young, before Zheng's accident."

"It doesn't matter." The third prince said casually, "After all, the imperial concubine had a deep plan and a lot of foreshadowing. All in all, Yushan died at a young age, and even the emperor couldn't find out the clues. Internal thieves. And speaking of internal thieves, of course Aunt Yun An and Uncle would not have any reason to be so frenzied. Isn’t that a member of the Zheng clan?”

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "Based on this calculation, it is really possible that it was done by me. What about evidence? If the evidence is not enough, I am afraid that I can't do anything with me."

"My son understands." The third prince said calmly, "Although my son is young, I have inquired about your mother and concubine over the years. Of course, I know what you said about your mother and concubine. Even if the evidence is solid, you have to say The imperial concubine has a lot of tongue. How is it possible to expect that it is so simple to take the imperial concubine? If the imperial concubine is so easy to deal with, the empress mother will not toss and turn, unable to rest her pillow."

He smiled slightly, "But it doesn't matter, I don't expect to do anything to my concubine, I just need to convince my tenth brother that I have a way to put my concubine in danger."

"You are honest." Yun Fenghuang couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and said, "If you say such things in front of Ben Gong, you will not be afraid. Ben Gong will turn around and tell the empress? How will you explain to the empress? ?”

The third prince calmly said: "I know that I have a flawed background, so I don't dare to covet the big position like my brothers. Originally, I just asked for a better fiefdom, and just lived in peace. It's just that the tenth brother refused, and my son The minister can only do this."

Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart that if I hadn't been staring at you, I would have believed you a ghost... The reason why the ten princes are like this is that one is because of the Queen's doting, and the other is that you kid deliberately guided?

Why are you pretending to be a bullied little pitiful now?

She thought for a moment, and said: "Since you have made all the arrangements for your tenth brother, why are you telling Ben Gong about this?"

"Besides, you are all princes in front of the empress, I dare not say anything."

"I called you here just to find out how you tricked my Xiao Qi!"

"I heard that my father is about to crown my sons as kings?" The third prince smiled, "I know my identity, but I dare not expect my father to treat my sons kindly. But there is one thing, my father He must be too lazy to care for his son, as for the mother..."

He said lightly, "Not to mention that the queen mother does not have the means of turning one's hands into clouds and hands into rain like the noble mother's concubine, but even if the mother's queen has it, it must be used on the tenth brother, but it is not the turn of the son."

"I dare not hide the truth from your mother and concubine."

"This invitation to the seventh younger brother to travel together is indeed intentional!"

"As for the purpose, with the intelligence of the noble mother and concubine, I think there is no need to repeat it."

Yun Fenghuang said thoughtfully: "Do you also want to marry a noble girl?"

"The son and minister have no support from the mother's family, so how can they not place their hopes on the wife's family?" The third prince responded frankly.

"But is it useful?" The noble concubine pondered, "You invited Xiao Qi to go out to find Xiao Jiu together, or you can explain to the empress that you are to share her worries. But this matter is not worth the empress' scrutiny." You chose a noble girl from a noble family to be your wife, didn't you? After all, she is touched by your filial piety, but she also feels that it should be... Without her raising you, how would you be today?"

She calmly sowed dissension, "Besides, in the Queen's opinion, it would be good for you to choose a concubine with a humble background for you. In fact, why should I say you? You know it yourself. In the eyes of Your Majesty Here, you, and the second prince, are different from other princes. His Majesty is determined not to pass on the throne to you two brothers. Instead of being dissatisfied and playing tricks here, you might as well listen to the queen and work hard to support the ten princes. The prince, in the future, he will be brought up with his mother at least, and he will be blessed."

The third prince smiled and said: "What the concubine said is reasonable, but it is only based on the fact that the tenth brother will be able to ascend the throne for sure. If not, no matter how much I let him, even if I am willing to What's the point of him being a stepping stone?"

"You don't like the Tenth Prince?" Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "This is strange. The Tenth Prince is the first-born prince recorded on the jade plate. Although His Majesty can't say that he loves him like a treasure, after all these years, he is quite fond of him." Pay attention. The most important thing is that there is no shortage of old antiques at any time, and we should pay attention to the fact that there are heirs and no heirs and no heirs... Based on this alone, the ten princes have the upper hand."

"Mother and concubine also said that it's just that she has the upper hand, and it's not guaranteed to win." The third prince said calmly, "Besides, this son is not only not optimistic about the tenth brother, but also because the mother and concubine must have learned something over the years." I heard: Ten younger brothers are not in harmony with brothers, even brothers like Erchen who were raised by his mother and queen."

Of course the noble concubine knew about the matter of King Chu.

But she pretended not to know: "Oh?"

"Miss Gu Jing's matter." The third prince nodded, didn't bother to elaborate, and just said slowly, "My son said something unpleasant, if the tenth younger brother succeeds to the throne in the future, I'm afraid that one of the brothers will be randomly pulled out. are more reliable than him."

The imperial concubine said: "So, are you going to support the twelve princes?"

"Why does your concubine think that the crown prince will only be in the middle palace?" The third prince looked at her and said suddenly, "I am more optimistic about the brothers in front of my concubine."

Yun Fenghuang laughed dumbly and said: "You were brought up by the empress, but you are optimistic about the heirs in front of this palace... If the empress knows this, how will you feel?"

The implication is that you are such an ungrateful thing, why should I trust you?

The third prince said indifferently: "The queen mother is not suitable for the palace, and even if the heirs before the noble mother and concubine ascend to the throne in the future, the queen mother will also be the queen mother, the empress dowager, isn't it?"

It's just a position in the battle for the country, and it's not about selling the mother.

No matter whether others believe it or not, anyway, the third prince himself believed it.

Yun Fenghuang glanced at him. His Highness the Third Prince actually looked quite similar to the Seventh Prince in appearance, not in appearance.

Although the appearance of the two brothers has the shadow of blood relatives, they are not very similar after all.

It's the kind of elegant temperament that is full of poetry and books.

It can be said that these two princes, among the many princes, Shen Yun is the most similar to Chunjia before he took office.

"The Ji family really has tricks. No, it should be said that the queen is simply a waste." The concubine thought to herself, "What kind of crooked one or two of the children raised in front of me? No one is determined to turn to her." .”

As a queen mother, I really don't know whether people should lament her suffering or her incompetence?

"You can think about it." The imperial concubine took a sip of tea and said, "Forget it, it's too early to say these words now. I only ask you, the death of Yushan, what you just said is what you found out ?”

What the third prince said just now, the point of attack directed at Xuanqing Palace, was naturally for the purpose of defrauding the tenth prince.

But Yun Fenghuang thought about it for a while, and felt that if the third prince wanted to turn himself over by investigating the case, or seek something, the death of Yushan was indeed the most effective.

That being the case, the master must not have gotten nothing.

Otherwise, why would the Tenth Prince want to pick peaches?

"I found out a little bit, but I dare not go any further." The third prince pondered for a while, and said slowly, "I originally planned to let go of it, but when I heard some news at this time, I simply justified it."

Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes: "Don't you dare? Your majestic prince, why don't you dare?"

Seeing that the third prince did not speak, she pondered, "Could it be that your father, queen and queen are the real culprits behind the scenes? But let alone other things, what are they doing to target Yushan?"

"The opinion that the noble mother and concubine said just now must be the opinion of most people." The third prince looked down at the bamboo pole on the ground, and said softly, "Really?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "Naturally. After all, it's hard to explain other than that..."

In the middle of speaking, she suddenly stopped, thoughtful.

The third prince said: "Presumably your mother and concubine have already got something, it's getting late, can you let Erchen resign?"

"You dare to say it in front of me." Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, then looked up at the third prince with subtle eyes, "Are you sure that this palace will not harm you?"

The third prince smiled: "If your mother and concubine want to be unfavorable to your ministers, do you care about such a thing?"

"That's true." Yun Fenghuang also laughed, "You are a rare child who can see clearly, but it's a pity that you didn't grow up in front of Ben Gong, otherwise, Ben Gong would love you a lot."

Just waved his hand, "Forget it, you go."

After the prince left, she leaned back, pinched her brows, called to the left and right, roughly talked about the conversation just now, and asked slowly: "What do you think this little brat is thinking?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that the intention of the third prince's refuge may not be false." Chen Jing listened, thought for a while, and then said, "Although he has the blood of the Ji family, the Ji family has collapsed after all, and even the empress dowager has been in trouble for a long time. , I haven't paid much attention to him and the second prince. Your Majesty has turned a blind eye to these two princes... In this case, don't say that the empress doesn't care about them, even if the empress wants to make him the crown prince, your majesty will It doesn’t matter if it’s the previous dynasty, who is willing? After the Ji family collapsed, who did not benefit from it? If the Ji family’s grandson is allowed to ascend the throne, what good will it do them?”

"Yes, the second prince and the third prince have no impression of their biological mother, so they may not have deep feelings for the Ji family."

"However, it's one thing to have no feelings, but it's another thing to be able to use this as an excuse to beat or even pick up the officials."

"When the third prince was young, he probably didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and even dreamed of coveting the great position."

"Growing up these years, he should know how slim his own ambition is."

"Since I have no hope, the next best thing to do is to count on the other brothers in front of my mother."

"But the king of Chu is stupid, the sixth prince is not valued and has mediocre qualifications, the tenth prince is arrogant and domineering and mean to his brothers, and the twelve princes are cowardly..."

"Even if you don't consider the gap between the empress and you, and only rely on the talents and morals of the princes, the middle palace doesn't have much chance of winning."

"Especially the tenth prince who is most favored in the middle palace, obviously has a grudge with the third prince."

"In this case, it is understandable for the third prince to simply choose the empress's side... As long as he helps the empress get rid of the ten princes, the crown prince will naturally fall into our Xuanqing Palace!"

"At that time, as a hero, even if he doesn't have the blessing to let the empress keep him by his side, will the empress still treat him badly?"

Qingren and other waiters also nodded.

They all felt that the third prince's choice was too easy to understand.

Even if this master has been very restless since he was a child...

But it is also because of the childhood, the children are ignorant, and always feel that they are very good and can do anything... But now it is the age to discuss marriage, why is it still not proper?

Don't say that the Ji family has collapsed, even if the Ji family still has Yu Ze, like the current Ouyang family, the Luo family, the Meng family, the Yun family, and the like, don't everyone have to act according to Chunjia's face?

To be able to be a king and rule a country, you can keep your promises.

Even if such a big event as Li Chu is important, as long as Chun Jia is not optimistic about it, it will be extremely difficult for him to take the top position.

Since I can't win it, I just sell my brother who has a quarrel and get credit for it, what's wrong?

"Speaking of which, this is the empress's own fault." The Qing people also said, "If she didn't educate the princes well, why should the third prince seek refuge with the empress in private?"

Seeing Yun Fenghuang groaning silently, Chen Jing said cautiously: "Your Majesty, are you worried about cheating?"

"I just asked that kid to come over and beat him today, but he climbed smoothly." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "It must have been too smooth."

Chen Jing said: "But on weekdays, if His Royal Highness the Third Prince came to see you rashly, I'm afraid that the Central Palace will be suspicious."

"My servant feels that the reason why His Highness the Third Prince called His Highness the Seventh Prince to leave the palace is probably to get this opportunity to talk to you alone."

Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, then said slowly: "Forget it, this matter is not urgent, let's put it aside for now."

She has to think about it.

It's not whether to accept the third prince's support, but... just now the third prince said that he didn't dare to continue to investigate Yushan's death.
