Chapter 6: The Emperor and His Ministers Have Already Met with the Current Time (6)

Rui Wang Mansion.

Rui Wang Luo Xiuqi did not expect that his mansion would welcome such a guest... Oh, it cannot be said to be a guest, Shen Minghuan has already surrendered to him.

Out of curiosity, he asked the servant to bring Shen Minghuan up.

Before Lu Ren left, he complained indignantly: "What does he mean? He came to Your Highness right after leaving King Ling? He wants to treat us as fools... Your Highness, you can't believe him later!"

When Shen Minghuan walked to the door, he just heard the second half of the sentence and the unspoken "fool".

He raised his eyebrows, chuckled and walked in, saying loudly: "It's not that I want to treat you as fools, it's just that you don't look smart."

"You" obviously included Luo Xiuqi, and a trace of gloom and displeasure flashed across his eyes.

The lackey caught this emotion and immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Shen Che, be respectful!"

Shen Minghuan waved his folding fan and glanced at Luo Xiuqi lightly: "It's not a bad thing to admit that you are stupid. Your Highness, when you don't have the ability, you must learn to respect others."

Luo Xiuqi was so angry that he laughed, "Respect others? Just because of you?"

"Yes," Shen Minghuan said in a sonorous and vigorous voice, "Just because I am Shen Minghuan."

[Host, host——] If the system has a hand, it must jump up and press Shen Minghuan down, [Take it easy, host, this is not the protagonist, this kid is very bad. ]

[What are you afraid of, listen to me fooling him. ]

[Huh? ]

Luo Xiuqi's face was dark, and he was about to speak, but Shen Minghuan spoke first: "Your Highness, are you sure you want to reject me at this time?"

This person directly assumed that not respecting him enough was equivalent to rejecting his surrender, which was very rampant. "You might as well think about it. Without me, what can you use to compete with the crown prince?"

Shen Minghuan was so confident that Luo Xiuqi was not as angry as he was at the beginning. He even felt a little proud when he heard this question: "Crown prince? Shen Che, Luo Xiuyuan has been deposed."

Shen Minghuan found a seat and sat down leisurely, "It doesn't mean that he can't be re-established just because he was deposed."

"Do you think the crown prince is isolated and helpless? Gu Chenglin is still here, Qu Zhengcheng is his tutor, Lord Lin and Lord Lu are his supporters, and although Lord Wang and Lord Lu have never taken sides, between you and the crown prince, who do you think they are more inclined to?"

Shen Minghuan "tsk"ed, "Civil officials and military generals, reputation and prestige, how can you compare with the crown prince?"

Luo Xiuqi was irritated by the "crown prince", but what Shen Minghuan said was not without reason.

Luo Xiuqi was secretly alert. He was too relaxed these days.

After all, Luo Xiuyuan was just deposed, not... dead.

"As long as the emperor doesn't like him, he will never be able to sit on the throne of the crown prince again." Luo Xiuqi said.

"Ha!" Shen Minghuan sneered: "If I don't like you today, how do you know that I won't like you tomorrow? If I like you today, how do I know that I will still like you tomorrow?"

"Your Majesty just wants to play a play of fatherly love and filial piety. If it's not you, there will be someone else. Don't take yourself too seriously, Your Highness."

Shen Minghuan continued in a bewitching tone: "It is the most foolish to pin your hopes on the illusory human heart. Born in the imperial family, only the power in your hand is worthy of trust, Your Highness, isn't it?"

Luo Xiuqi clenched his fists, his eyes sinister, Shen Minghuan's words just hit the part of his heart that he feared the most.

Although the emperor never concealed his preference for him, his gifts were so easy. What does it mean that the person who owns the world casually gives away a box of treasures? It can only mean that the emperor is really rich.

People's hearts are fickle, and being with the emperor is like being with a tiger.

How can we know that Luo Xiuyuan today will not be his future as Luo Xiuqi?

When Luo Xiuyuan was young, his father had given him the only preference in the world, thinking about him in every possible way and making far-reaching plans for him.

At that time, Luo Xiuqi was just one of the people watching and envying him.

"So, what can you bring to me?" Luo Xiuqi's anger faded away, and he spoke calmly.

Shen Minghuan said proudly and arrogantly: "You should ask, what can I not give you. In terms of wisdom and strategy, who in Yanlin City can compare with me? In terms of reputation, with the Shen family, most of the students in the world will look up to you."

Shen Minghuan paused for a while intentionally, giving Luo Xiuqi enough time to think, "Now, do you still want to reject me?"

Luo Xiuqi was thoughtful.

Shen Che's talent is indeed outstanding, and it is expected that his political strategy should not be bad? Even if this person is stupid, he still has Shen Changqing who has been an official for many years.

Besides, the Shen family...

"Ming Huan, that's not right. I am so grateful that you are willing to help me. How can I refuse?" Luo Xiuqi's face changed in a second, with a smile on his face, "I naturally believe in Ming Huan's ability. I think Ming Huan has already dealt with Gu Chenglin?"

——Didn't you say that you can get anything for me? Then, what about military power? What about military generals?

Shen Ming Huan said easily: "I came here for this matter. Your Highness, I have a plan. Come closer..."

Luo Xiuqi approached expectantly, and his expression became more and more serious as he listened, completely forgetting that there was a lackey Lu Ren beside him.

After a while, he excitedly clapped his hands and laughed: "As expected of Shen Minghuan, it is my honor to have Minghuan! It's getting late, and the food in my Rui Wangfu is excellent. Minghuan, you must stay today and let me treat you well."

Shen Minghuan smiled slightly.

[Xiaojiu, how is it? ]

The system was amazed, [He is lame. ]

*

The deal between Luo Xiuyuan and the emperor was only reached between the two of them in private, just as few people knew that Luo Xiuyuan's position as the crown prince was a promise from the emperor.

Those who knew about these two things were all ministers of high rank in the court, and the emperor would not be stupid enough to publicize them all over the world.

So now there is a very serious question - what reason should be used to pardon Zhuo Feichen?

The words he said when he was furious three days ago are still fresh in my ears. Now suddenly releasing him without guilt, doesn't it seem that he is very unfaithful?

Maybe it was intentional, anyway, the emperor never made up an excuse that suited his heart, so the matter was left unsolved.

Zhuo Feichen was still guilty without punishment or appeasement. But the prince had been deposed because of this matter, and no one dared to remind the emperor.

Luo Xiuqi and Shen Minghuan finished their meal and rushed into the palace.

If someone else had mentioned Zhuo Feichen, the emperor would have been angry, but if it was Luo Xiuqi, it would be another matter.

"Father, Lilan is just a small country, and you have already ordered it to be incorporated into the territory of Daqi. If you let them go, wouldn't it be a joke for the world?"

"Your son asks for your permission, and asks your father to grant your son the power to supervise the army, so that General Zhuo can make meritorious contributions while guilty, and let the Zhenbei Army go out again to expand the territory for your father and strengthen the prestige of Daqi!"

Luo Xiuqi knelt on the ground and bowed, every word sonorous.

The emperor still wanted to attack Li Lan, and he had to admit that Zhuo Feichen was indeed a rare talent. He had long wanted to give Zhuo Feichen another chance, but he just lacked a step.

Killing two birds with one stone, it can be used.

Luo Dan sat at the top, with the long crown tassels hanging down. He looked at Luo Xiuqi with scrutiny and laughed abruptly: "Qi'er, do you want to get involved in military power?"

Luo Xiuqi was instantly sweating and cried out loudly: "I dare not! I just want to share the worries of my father."

"What are you afraid of?" Luo Dan walked down the high platform and helped Luo Xiuqi up from his knees: "Think about it, I'm not angry, I agree with what you just said."

"Father..." Luo Xiuqi's eyes were red, and he looked very moved, and then he lowered his head embarrassedly.

The emperor was obviously very satisfied with his performance, and patted Luo Xiuqi on the shoulder in a very good mood.

How could he not know that Luo Xiuqi's expression was mostly disguised? But what does it matter? It doesn't matter if a child is a little scheming to get his father's attention.

Luo Dan was eager for power when he was young. Although he still can't let it go now, he is getting older and older. He knows that there is no such thing as immortality in the world.

Luo Xiuqi is the son who is most like him and the most filial to him. If he must give this position as a gift to another person, he hopes it will be Luo Xiuqi.

Even if he clearly realizes that Luo Xiuyuan is more outstanding, so what? He doesn't care about people in the world who call him a tyrant.

Luo Dan is moved by his father's kindness. He doesn't know that Luo Xiuqi, who is lowering his head, has cold eyes.

Shen Minghuan's words are still ringing in my ears: "Among a hundred people in this world, ninety-nine want to be the emperor. Doesn't your majesty know this? If you show your little ambition appropriately, your majesty will relax his vigilance and make him feel that you are real and controllable. But this degree must be controlled by your highness."

"Don't worry, the emperor will agree, and the Shen family will cooperate with you."

"Don't underestimate the power of scholars, your highness."

Luo Xiuqi can surpass Luo Xiuyuan to become the emperor's favorite son. Of course, he is not a fool. At least he understands the emperor and knows what kind of children the emperor likes.

Luo Xiuqi, who has already reached adulthood, still pulls the emperor's clothes like a child, and says coquettishly that he wants to eat the cakes made by the imperial chef in the palace.

Luo Dan really enjoyed it. With a wave of his hand, he sent two imperial chefs to the Ruiwang Mansion.

Luo Xiuqi smiled happily on the surface, but he didn't care in his heart.

Minghuan is right. What's the point of valuing this? What the emperor likes is just his pretended obedience and good behavior.

After all, people can only plan for themselves.

*

After a good meal and a good drink, Shen Minghuan urged Luo Xiuqi to enter the palace, and he was ready to go home leisurely. He did not take the carriage, but planned to walk around Yanling City, just as a way to digest his food.

As for the promise that Luo Xiuqi would help him take down the military supervisor? It was just talk, and the emperor would agree without him having to do anything. Anyway, it didn't cost money to talk.

Although he ordered the carriage to go back first, Shen An would definitely not leave Shen Minghuan alone. After all, their master was a jade-like figure. What should he do if he encountered danger?

Shen An drove behind from a distance, watching his gentle master finish a bowl of wontons, buy a pancake, and hold a candied haws in his hand.

Shen An looked distressed, and kept cursing Luo Xiuqi in his heart.

Damn King Rui! Why did he force the master to stay for dinner? The master must have felt very uncomfortable just now, unable to eat, and had to force himself to entertain him.

The master was not like this when he had dinner with King Ling before.

Sure enough, although the master surrendered to King Rui, he and King Ling were the only immortal friendship in the world!
