Chapter 36 Chips

Lin Suqing asked, "Who are there at the banquet?"

"When you go back to Your Highness, you are a private banquet, so there are only your Highness, King Ying and King Ping above the banquet."

Chen Shuhua told him carefully, probably because he understood Lin Suqing's guess. He said, "Although King Ping has been in harmony with King Ying since he was a child, this is your private banquet for Your Highness, and he only knew when he received the invitation. I thought the poisoner would not be King Ping. First, he could not get to know the meal, and second, I thought that King Ping should know that poisoning at Your Highness's private banquet would involve something. King Ping has always been close to Your Highness, and he should not have put His Highness in an unjust manner at this time."

"The old minister thinks that Lord Chen is right. Even if you sit and watch the dragon and tiger fight, wait until both sides suffer losses, and then make profits from it. Then, it should be your first to join forces with Your Highness and get rid of King Ying first."

Liang Wenfu's comments were very sophisticated, sharp, and very bold, without any concealment in front of the prince.

"After all, Your Highness is kind and King Ying is cruel. If King Ping is interested in the position of the Eastern Palace, he can only make a decision from you, which is considered a little hope. But if he makes His Highness misleading and relying solely on himself in the future, he will definitely not be the opponent of King Ying. I believe King Ping himself knows it well."

Perhaps because Lin Suqing was not the prince himself, Liang Wenfu's blunt statement did not seem unpleasant to hear it, but instead thought that Liang Wenfu was a loyal minister.

At this time, Chen Shuhua said: "I think it is probably because of the hard-working King Ying who deliberately attacked His Highness the Crown Prince. I think that King Ying's move is probably to mislead all officials and guess that Your Highness, you... You are hostile to King Ying."

Lin Suqing was stunned. This King Ying was so playful.

In this way, the implicit meaning is that the prince is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate the King of Ying, who has made great achievements in military achievements.

Therefore, if everyone, including the emperor, believed that the prince was poisoning because of this misleading, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Liang Wenfu said: "Before the old minister rushed to the Eastern Palace, he heard that the Ying Prince's Mansion had already spread the news to His Majesty."

He thought for a while and said, "But... the old minister thinks that Your Majesty should not believe it easily, and will definitely send someone to investigate the truth."

As he said, his index finger lit the word "wait" on the table.

"So, according to the old minister's opinion, during this period, Your Highness, just pretend to be drunk and sleep peacefully. Then you can know the truth tomorrow."

Lin Suqing understood it and understood what he meant. The truth was not important, what was important was the emperor's attitude to deal with the matter.

This "accident" with many loopholes is obviously not conducive to the prince.

If the emperor punished the prince, it means that he believed King Ying and believed that the prince was poisoning, it means that the emperor favored King Ying, which proves that the position of the Eastern Palace is extremely likely to be relocated to King Ying.

If the emperor punished King Ying, then the conclusion would be self-evident. Even if King Ying’s military achievements were so prominent, the position of the Eastern Palace would still be his prince.

Under the dim candlelight, the three of them were tacitly informed and coincided.

...

After Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua left, Lin Suqing quickly moved his muscles and bones around him, wanting to see whether this place was an ordinary mortal world or an unusual blessed fairyland like Danxue Mountain.

He turned his ankle and kicked the table in a pretty good manner. Oh my god! It’s so painful for him!

Obviously, he was possessed by an ordinary mortal.

Then he couldn't understand even more. Why did His Highness the Second Crown Prince attach his soul to this mortal prince?

I said before that he asked him to experience it himself, would he want him to experience the feeling of being on a high place?

No, no, the second prince is not that boring. The second prince's move must have something else... What is the meaning?

Although he couldn't figure it out thoroughly, he understood one thing very well in his heart. That is, during the period when he was possessed, he had to experience this experience carefully and seriously, and he had to have some insights so that he could get the opportunity to practice.

At the same time, he must be cautious in his words and actions, as if walking on thin ice. After all, he cannot ensure whether he has the ability to help the prince preserve his position in the Eastern Palace.

And in such a situation where you know nothing, you can only save your life first!

Thinking of this, he returned to the desk, intending to read the prince's daily records overnight and his style of handling government affairs. He even carefully described his handwriting, and did not dare to be careless at all.

Fortunately, he has systematically studied calligraphy and depicted other people's handwriting, which is not too difficult.

...

In the blink of an eye, the morning light was dim. When the sun was about to rise, the servants brought four maids in green clothes. They came forward to serve him to wash up.

First, two maids came up. On the wooden tray held by a maid, two thin porcelain cups were placed, with a plate of fine salt and a cup of strong tea.

Another empty-handed maid first scooped half a spoonful of fine salt with a willow wooden spoon, started with an embroidered handkerchief, and handed it to Lin Suqing respectfully.

He looked at it before opening his mouth.

The maid gently poured the fine salt on his tongue, then picked up one of the thin colored porcelain cups, opened the lid and handed it over. The porcelain cup was filled with warm water. Lin Suqing opened his mouth and took a bite of it slightly hot, and gurgled the fine salt in his mouth into salt water. When he rinsed his mouth, the maid put down the cup in his hand and brought another empty porcelain cup.

Lin Suqing then spitted in the rinsed water.

Then she brought another cup of strong tea. Lin Suqing sipped two sips to rinse her mouth. After spitting it out, she still felt bitter and raised her hand to signal her to leave the strong tea.

Then, the maid holding the mouthwashing device stepped back.

Then another maid was added in her place.

She was holding a pure three-color porcelain washbasin with a golden background and two five-clawed golden dragons. She partnered with her and was soaking the square scarf in hot water and then folded it into a square shape. Then she held it to Lin Suqing with both hands.

He took it and wiped it cleanly and returned it to the maid.

Alas, he understood why His Highness the Second Crown Prince was reluctant to use a slave when he was in Danxue Mountain. This struggle was so exhausting that it was better to start it smoothly and conveniently.

After finally finishing washing, he changed his clothes after serving.

At this time, the sun outside the house had already climbed into the clear sky.

After breakfast, he waved his hand and left his servant, and avoided all the service. He wandered around the mansion alone, without anyone noticing that His Royal Highness of the Eastern Palace had actually changed someone else.

Compared with the simplicity and elegance of the Prince's Mansion in Danxueshan, the Prince's Mansion in the mortal world is much more magnificent.

If Danxue Mountain is a carved beam and painted road, free and unrestrained, then it is magnificent and unique. It is probably because their respective pursuits are different, and after all, the gods prefer tranquility.

After walking roughly in the mansion and familiarizing himself with the furnishings and layouts, he returned to the study and continued to copy the prince's handwriting.

After about half a cup of tea, Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua arrived.

"Please to Your Highness."

He quickly walked out of the desk and made a gesture to help the two of them up: "Please get up, please, please."

Liang Wenfu joined in and said, "The old minister has already made arrangements overnight, and they will arrive immediately. Please ask Your Highness to go to the inner room first."

"good."

Lin Suqing needs to correspond to each person's identity through their chats, so he is more appropriate to be behind the scenes than in front of the stage at this time.

He trusted Liang Wenfu and the others, so he simply turned around and went to the inner room, sitting casually on the bed, resting and waiting.

He had read a large number of documents in the Prince's Study Room and was quite familiar with the names of several of them. If he had guessed correctly, there would definitely be a few of them among the people who came today.

...

"Hey, why did Lord Chen come early?"

Soon after, a man with a strong and powerful voice came. He bowed and said to Liang Wenfu: "Oh, the right prime minister is here too." His words were very casual and rough.

Lin Suqing's ears captured that Liang Wenfu was the right prime minister and had a considerable official position.

He got up and walked quickly to the entrance hall, and peeked out through the gaps in the pearl curtain.

The visitor also wore a round collar and right-sided robe, but it was different from the robe that Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua were wearing a robe that was as long as their feet and ankles. The visitor wore a short shirt, which was only as long as their knees.

But the red single-clothing could not hide his mighty figure at all, and because of the thinness of the single-clothing, it looked particularly burly and stubborn. It should be a famous general.

Liang Wenfu smiled and said, "I'm sorry, General Zuo Yiwei arrived early in the morning."

It turns out that he is Wu Yi, the general of Zuo Yiwei.

Lin Suqing saw some records about him when he was reading last night.

The most impressive thing is that King Ying once sent his confidant to give gifts to General Wu Yi's military camp, hoping to make friends with him. Unexpectedly, General Wu Yi beat King Ying's confidant himself, and later this incident reached the emperor's ears. If General Wu had not had his outstanding military achievements, he would have almost been sentenced to a serious crime by the emperor of the current dynasty.

Well, he is a dominant and quite bloody person. More importantly, he is loyal to the prince and is one of the prince's confidants.

Lin Suqing was very worried that the prince was full of civil servants, because King Ying not only had many powerful generals, but also many resourceful aides and disciples.

Fortunately, he had a loyal general like Wu Yi. Although he could not compare with the many generals in King Ying's hands, it would not make the prince's armed strength relatively weak.

Then another person came, who seemed to be a civil servant, and he valued courtesy. As soon as he entered the door, he saluted Liang Wenfu, Wu Yi and Chen Shuhua according to his official position. It seemed that the official title was no older than the three of them.

Before Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua deliberately pointed out the identity of the person, General Wu accidentally pointed it out.

"Mr. Zhang is the left concubine of the Crown Prince Zhan Shi's mansion. Why is he coming later than me who is far away from the mansion?"

Maybe it was due to the open-minded nature of the general, and he seemed not very polite in his words.

But it can be seen that they were very familiar with each other. Even if Wu Yi spoke so rudely, that Zhang Zhanshi had never complained, and he had never been angry at all.

Instead, he apologized with a smile and said, "I am ashamed. I drank a few more drinks last night. Eating alcohol made a mistake, and eating alcohol made a mistake."

Lin Suqing silently wrote down in his heart that it was Zhang Zhan. Judging from the many records in the prince's account, Zhang Zhan was a very smart and strategic person, and he was very good at finding clues in the subtleties.

Therefore, since Lin Suqing is the crown prince, he does not intend to use this Zhang Zhan more in the future, and is worried that this careful Zhang Zhan will discover the clues and reveal his identity as a fake crown prince.

Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua supported each other and smiled happily, eased the atmosphere. However, it seemed that they had been accustomed to the bickering between General Wu and Zhang Zhanshi, but in fact they didn't care much, and just wanted to laugh.

Then three or two civil officials and one or two military generals came one after another.

Lin Suqing quietly corresponded to the information from people behind the scenes, and secretly grasped the chips and weights held in the prince's hand in his heart.

After some calculations, his heart that had been hanging high finally let go of a little.
