100039429 Chapter 268: Issues with the intention to retreat

Prince Net returned from the Jinjian Hall and urgently summoned Fan Rui's back hall to discuss matters...

When Fan Rui hurried to the back hall, he found that the prince was standing in the empty back hall. His body couldn't help but trembled violently, his face was as pale as a dead person, and his eyes showed a look of despair that only those who were at the end of their lives had. His former gentle and elegant image was no longer a trace, but now the prince looks like a beast about to be slaughtered, panic and fearful.

Fan Rui was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

The prince turned his head, his eyes were covered with blood, and his lips trembled, "He" He is finally going to take action, he, he is finally going to depose the orphan prince.

Fan Rui was shocked: "Your Highness, what's going on? What happened this morning?"

"Today's Morning Court" Zhong Chengcheng Zheng Ru, and jointly appointed more than a dozen censors to propose to his father to depose the crown prince. The body of the crown prince was still trembling.

Seeing this, Fan Rui quickly stepped forward, not caring about his rituals. He stretched out his hands and pressed the prince's shoulders hard. Finally, the prince's body stopped trembling.

Fan Rui looked at the prince with a desperate expression and whispered: "Your Highness, you must be calm. At this time, it is a recommendation for life and death. You cannot be distracted by yourself, otherwise your great cause will be really over!"

Upon hearing this, the prince finally regained a little bloody color on his pale face. He looked at Fan Rui gratefully and sighed: "At the time of life and death, only the gentleman stands beside me and is willing to help me. This kind of kindness should never be forgotten."

Fan Rui smiled calmly: "Your Highness is such a bad word. In times of crisis, you are not only standing beside you, but you still have tens of thousands of soldiers of the border army. As with the private army in the mountains and forests, nearly 100,000 troops advance and retreat with Your Highness. Why do you say that you are lonely?"

When the prince finally calmed down after hearing this, he returned to his previous confidence. Although his face was still a little pale, his temperament gradually changed and he no longer looked like he was as frightened as before.

"What the sir said is right. With Gu's strength, Gu's prince cannot be deposed by those who stand in the Golden Mirror Hall and say a few words or memorials!"

Seeing that the prince had recovered his calmness, Fan Rui smiled with satisfaction, then frowned and asked, "Your Highness, are you sure? The emperor really wants to depose you?"

A little resentment flashed across the prince's face. He nodded and said, "It's confirmed that Zheng Ru's memorial has been submitted. The memorial lists the four major mistakes and charges that I have committed in the past ten years. The father said that after considering it, he will summon the ministers to review it."

Fan Rui looked stunned, thought for a while, and finally sighed: "Yes, the emperor really wants to depose the crown prince. Maybe in a few days, the emperor will mobilize the ministers to write a letter, and finally deposed His Highness with the flow."

The prince's face was slightly panicked, and then he sneered: "He asked Gu to be the prince for ten years. Gu has been swallowing his anger for the past ten years and tried his best to cater to him and please him. In front of ministers and the people, Gu still has to try his best to play the role of the prince, and he can't even laugh or cry. Now he is about to die, but at this time he wants to depose Gu. Is Gu just a ball of mud in his eyes? He can pinch him whatever he wants?"

Fan Rui lowered his head and said nothing.

The Tian family has only monarch and ministers, no father and son. The so-called family affection is even more unrecognizable and can be held in their hands. What makes people feel the most real is the supreme power.

"Your Highness, the situation is critical, just make plans early." Seeing that the prince was excited again, Fan Rui quickly reminded him softly in his ear.

The prince was startled and his face suddenly became cruel and cold. Although there was still a smile on his face, the smile made people involuntarily terrified.

"Sir, when the arrow is on the string, he gives us a great opportunity." The prince looked ahead and laughed softly.

"What a chance?"

"Five days later, he will go to the Temple of Heaven on the Temple of Heaven in the northern suburbs of the city to worship the prince with a smile and said word by word.

Fan Rui was shocked: "Is your highness meant it?"

The prince smiled and nodded: "Yes, Qianlong went out to sea. Although he was powered by wind and thunder, he was already a Qianlong left the sea. Why should he be afraid? At that time, several princes in the capital, along with officials above the fourth rank, followed by all the people who wanted to kill and stay. Sir, is this a great opportunity?"

A little surprise flashed across Fan Rui's face, and then disappeared quickly, frowned and puzzled, "What is your Highness going to do?"

The prince smiled, smiling extremely fiercely and resentfully: "Nothing else, I'll kill the dragon!"

Fan Rui was shocked when he heard this.

If the people of the world know this behavior,

The prince ignored Fan Rui's horror expression and said to himself: "There are more than 30,000 imperial guards in total. This time he went out of the city to worship the sky, he could not bring all of them, at most more than 10,000 people. Although the four armies guarding the capital were large, they would never dare to act rashly if they did not obey the imperial guards. Otherwise, they would be labeled as a rebellion. Therefore, we just need to wipe out all the more than 10,000 imperial guards who took him out of the capital, and then capture him alive or "kill them, and today they will be the one who is the one who is alone. At that time, Gu declared to the public that his father was seriously ill and had passed away on the way to worship the sky on Shenlie Mountain. Gu gathered the officials who followed him and killed them if they did not follow him. By then, the words of the crowd, I ascended the great treasure and ascended the throne would be natural.

"What should I do if there are a few princes?" Fan Rui couldn't help asking.

The prince twitched: "The princes had suddenly died, so they started fighting because of the emperor on the way back to Beijing. Finally, they mobilized troops to attack the imperial guards, trying to usurp the throne and become emperors. Gu could not bear to see each other's brothers and sisters, and would never allow these emperors to fight with each other in front of his father's spirit. So Gu mobilized troops to separate them in the name of the prince. Unexpectedly, they were stubborn and still led their troops to attack each other. Gu could not stop them, so he had to watch the emperors with pain as they were killed in the chaos."

As he said that, the prince laughed and said, "Sir, I don't know if this explanation is true, will the people in the world believe it?"

If the situation is as expected by the prince, then such an explanation would be wonderful. Not only could the battle with the imperial guards cleverly conceal the battle, but the princes who fought for the throne with the prince, but they also won the reputation of the prince among the people, killing three birds with one stone. It is indeed a great explanation.

But, is it really that simple for the emperor to sacrifice to heaven?

Fan Rui's eyes were full of sorrow, and he frowned and looked at the prince and said, "Your Highness, you should think twice about this. Your Highness just imagine that the emperor is seriously ill now, but at this moment when you are about to depose you, he suddenly decided to leave the city to worship the sky. There must be something strange about this. I suspect that this is a carefully arranged by the emperor."

The prince nodded and said, "Mr. I thought it was right. I also felt that my father's sacrifice to heaven was strange. He had been ill for a long time and had already done bad things. Suddenly, he said he wanted to sacrifice to heaven, and there was inevitably some fraud in it, but"

The prince turned his head and looked at Fan Rui, his eyes full of excitement and greed: "But don't you think that although this time is extremely risky, the accompanying gains are also very huge? Just wipe out the ten thousand imperial guards who accompanied him. Today, it will be in the palm of the lonely hand, and a bamboo will overturn. At that time, the lonely king will be the king of the world and become the king of all kings. All the people in the world will be surrendered to the river; surrender to worship.

The prince licked his lips excitedly, and he was completely out of control. His eyes lit up, "Sir. Gu has strength, Gu has nearly 100,000 troops, one on the side of the capital and the other on the south of the Yellow River. Under the attack of the two armies, even if he has any trap, it is still not worth worrying in the face of powerful strength. Do you think there is any reason?"

Fan Rui looked at the prince worriedly and whispered: "Your Highness"

The prince came back from his excitement, looked at Fan Rui's worried eyes, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sir. Gu knows what you want to say, right, Gu also realizes that this may be a trap." But, sir, do you have any choice? Five days later, the father will return to Beijing from Shenlie Mountain to worship the sky. If nothing unexpected happens, he will hold a grand dynasty meeting, summoning the three dukes and nine ministers and ministers in the court to reconsider the deposed prince. At that time, Gu could only kneel in the Jinjian Hall honestly and ask the warrior in front of the palace to take off the crown prince's crown from Gu's head. Maybe Gu will be demoted to a commoner."

"Sir, the situation is so critical that even if it is a trap, Gu has to take a risk. If Gu loses the name of the prince, it would be better to die in the trap he set for Gu now."

Fan Rui looked at the prince heavily, sighed, and finally nodded.

The prince sighed softly, as if he had breathed out the depression in his chest, calmed down, and his elegant smile regained his face.

"Sir, send a letter to General Chai from Youzhou. Within five days, he will lead his soldiers to the foot of Shenlie Mountain and ask him to pay attention to hiding the whereabouts of the army. Send spies along the way to investigate carefully, and also send him a command from the Ministry of War to dispatch troops. If you encounter a checkpoint along the way, you can temporarily deal with it."

"yes."

"In addition, you will also send a letter to the army that is lonely and private equity. The whole army is on guard and ready to go. Five days later, we will drive towards Shenlie Mountain!"

"yes."

The prince showed a strange smile on his face. Five days later, nearly 100,000 troops surrounded Shenlie Mountain, father. Will you still be as lucky as when Pan Wenyuan rebelled this time, and will you insist on waiting for reinforcements?

Fan Rui looked at the prince's face with a crazy smile and suddenly felt a bit cold. His heart seemed to fall to hell and kept sinking."

The morning court dissipated, and Fang Zheng boarded the carriage and returned to the mansion before the spring rain fell.

His face was gloomy. When he entered the door, he ignored the people's greetings to him. He went straight back to the courtyard. When he entered the door, he fell onto the bed without taking off his shoes. He fell asleep regardless.

Many servants surrounded the courtyard with a puzzled look on their faces.

This young master who always smiles and seems to be stubborn in everything. What happened to the past two days?

No one can explain clearly.

They only knew that since the young master came back from the palace three days ago, he had been full of thoughts, always with a stern face, and even spoke much less than usual.

The young master of the Fang family was unhappy, and the servants began to worry about him. What happened to the young master, who had always been optimistic and cheerful, that made him unhappy for several days? Could it be that the situation in the capital has changed recently

close?

What I worry about most is of course his wives.

Yanran, Feng Jie and Xiao Lu stood at the door of Fang Zheng's bedroom, staring at the door that was tightly closed with a frown, and hesitated for a moment.

"What's wrong with my husband these days?" Yanran's eyebrows were frowning tightly, and her beautiful face gradually added to her sadness.

"Yes, every day, they go to court and go home to sleep. Their face is as cold as a piece of pig iron, cold and hard. What happened to him in the court?" Feng Jie was also as frowning as Yanran.

Xiaolu whispered: "Is it because the young master is busy with state affairs recently, he is too hard and too tired, so he is so stern?"

Yanran and Feng Jie looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

If their husband is tired and hard due to state affairs, even their wives will not believe this.

This husband is not without his hard work, but he is tired of eating, drinking, and playing, but he has never been tired of working hard in state affairs. Only Xiaolu, the youngest and most scheming sister, would say this.

"Do you want to send someone to send a letter to the princess in the palace?" Feng Jie hesitated.

Yanran thought for a while and shook her head and said, "It's still no need. The emperor is seriously ill now. Her sister is serving the emperor in the palace. She is already very sad. If the husband makes her worry again, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it."

Sister Feng bit her lip, looked at Yanran with pretty eyes, and said softly: "Why?" You go in and talk to him? He likes you the most and listens to you the most."

Yanran blinked and smiled, "Look at what you said. Doesn't he like you on weekdays? A few days ago, he was lying in the corner of the wall outside the wing room and peeking at you taking a shower."

Feng Jie's face turned red in anger and she said, "Don't talk nonsense, how can this happen?"

Yanran smiled and said, "I didn't say nonsense. I don't believe you didn't know at that time. When he peeked at you, he screamed in his mouth, "One Ku, One Ku. The whole yard heard it."

As he said that, Yanran blinked at Fengjie and said, "I saw that the oil lamp in the wing room was turned brighter. Hehe, did you deliberately pretend that you didn't know, and then you deliberately let him peek more clearly, right?"

Sister Feng's pretty face was as red as a pomegranate on the internet. She still said to herself: "Nonsense! I don't know he is outside." That shameless guy often does this kind of stealing thing. He hasn't been peeked by these few of us while taking a shower? Humph! Don't laugh at anyone, you can't run away!"

As he said that, Sister Feng's pretty face turned redder, she covered her face and laughed: "Don't you know that after that shameless guy peeked, he got the best body award, the best legs award, and the best big breast award.

Yanran's pretty face also turned red. She glared at Feng Jie with a angrily, then turned her beautiful eyes and looked at Xiao Lu and smiled: "Bu Lu, my husband loves you so much on weekdays. I have always held you in my palm. Now that I am unhappy, you go in and ask him."

Xiaolu was stunned, then hurriedly waved her hands around and said with a bitter face: "No, I only know the young master of serving the marquis, and I don't know anything else.

Yanran gritted her teeth and said, "Don't push it. Let's go in together, husband treat us well. Even if he is unhappy, he will not scold us. Let's go."

In the bedroom, Fang Zheng was still sleeping soundly. Although he had been sleeping for several days, his face was still a little tired. Even when he fell asleep, his brows were frowning tightly, as if he didn't even have a dream.

happy.

Seeing Fang Zheng's tired look, the three women suddenly felt a pain in their hearts and their eyes turned red.

Yanran walked forward, stretched out her slender hand, gently smoothing Fang Zheng's frowning brow, but she knew that her brows were flat and she frowned tightly again.

Yanran couldn't help but shed tears and said softly: "What the hell is going on?"

Seeing Fang Zheng lying on the bed, the quilt was not covered, and there was no pillow under his head, Yanran immediately stepped forward and took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, then picked up Fang Zheng's head and gently placed it on his thighs, allowing him to sleep.

Feng Jie and Xiao Lu also took off Fang Zheng's shoes and covered him with a thin quilt. The three women surrounded Fang Zheng motionlessly, staring at his sleeping face, and the sunset outside the window gradually subsided. The entire bedroom was shrouded in a golden light, and the whole picture was beautiful and peaceful.

It was not until it got dark that Fang Zheng woke up.

Before he opened his eyes, he felt a faint fragrance coming from his nose, and then he felt a warm and soft jade under his head, which made people unable to help but intoxicate it.

"Who is this? Who is holding such a big cotton against me?" Fang Zheng said lazily, closing his eyes.

"Huh? This ball of cotton is actually very elastic." Wow, it bounced over, wow! It bounced over again,"

Yanran chuckled and said softly: "My husband, stop making trouble. When you wake up, wash your body and get ready for dinner."

Fang Zheng hugged Yanran with his back hand, rested his head on her thigh, and murmured, "What food should I eat? Let me lie down for a while longer,"

The three girls smiled, then looked up and looked at each other a few times. Yanran lowered her head and asked softly: "What's wrong with my husband? I've been depressed all the time. Do you know that we are all "worry about you."

Fang Zheng was stunned, then sighed. He sat up, looked at the three women with concern, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I'm fine. The situation in the court is critical, and a life-and-death struggle is about to begin again, I "I'm really tired of these."

The third girl quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, blinked her beautiful big eyes and said softly: "Is your husband so depressed about this?"

Fang Zheng was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe" is more than just a little bit. To be honest, I actually don't want to be an official anymore."

The three girls were stunned and looked at each other. Fang Zheng's words made them feel a little puzzled.

Fang Zheng himself didn't know why he suddenly had this idea. Since the emperor asked him to be orphan in the bedroom a few days ago, the conversation that day still flashed in his mind from time to time.

The emperor's expectations for him, his generousness to him, and his "precautions for him made him feel both moved and sad, and a little disappointed and disappointed. These feelings were mixed together, and somehow, they made him feel a little relieved.

Fang Zheng was scared. This time he felt scared from the bottom of his heart. The ruthless imperial family. For the sake of the country, anyone can sacrifice it. So if the fat man ascends the throne to the throne in the future, will he treat himself like this?

Maybe he can still be brothers with the fat man today. When he ascended the throne, it can be imagined that he must have risen with the flow and become the highest minister. But what about five years later? What about ten years later? Will the fat man treat him like now? Will he still be the honest, generous and kind fat man now? When he holds the power and the light has gradually covered the Fat Man, the emperor. Is the fat man still not in a grudge?

If many years later, when the fat emperor's mind is mature, and when he feels that his existence has hindered the emperor's path, what should he do? He stretched his head and asked this former classmate and friend, brother in distress to issue an order to kill him, or would he just raise an army and rebel like Pan Shangshu and the prince, and forget it if he is the emperor?

Fang Zheng smiled bitterly.

He was unwilling to either.

He just wanted to take his servants all over the streets like most playboys, tease women, walk dogs, birds and crickets, but the situation was so urgent. Who could have predicted what would happen between him and the fat man in many years?

Slowly glanced at the three women in front of him, Fang Zheng rubbed his face hard and smiled, "If one day I don't become an official, will you dislike your husband for being a pound and a businessman full of stinking money?"

The three girls smiled at each other, Yanran lightly pointed Fang Zheng's head and said, "How can we dislike you? You don't look like an official. You're so surprised and made so many contributions to the court. I'm really not looking at me.

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "When I push the fat man to the position of the prince this time, I will resign. OK? Let's find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in seclusion."

The three girls couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this. Yanran smiled cleverly and said, "Really? You really don't want to resign from your post? That's great. To be honest, you often encounter some dangerous things in front of you. We are very worried, for fear that you have something to do. If you resign, it would be great. Let's find a place to live in seclusion according to what you said.

Fang Zheng looked at them and saw that they were all happy. He couldn't help but smiled apologetically: "The days I have been an official have made you worried and scared. When everything is solved, I will immediately resign from this broken official. Whoever loves to be the one who is."

Yanran nodded and smiled, "Okay, my husband, let's find jin. With beautiful mountains and rivers, buy a few acres of fertile land, build a thatched cottage, and dig a fish pond. During the day, you are fishing by the fish pond, we will accompany you, and at night, light an oil lamp, we will draw, write poems, and sing music for you."

Yanran became more and more excited as she spoke. Her beautiful big eyes were shining with joy. Feng Jie and Xiao Lu also looked longing and yearning, and her pretty faces were more charming.

Fang Zheng touched his chin and said, "It sounds pretty good."

Then Fang Zheng suddenly asked, "Where is wine? How can I not drink without wine by writing poems and singing music? Where does the wine I drink come from?"

Yanran was stunned and then smiled and said, "We can make wine by ourselves, grow grain by ourselves, and then brew by ourselves."

"Where is the cook? I want to eat delicacies, so I have to invite a cook, right?"

Yanran was stunned again, and then hesitated: "Living in seclusion, please, cook? Isn't it the same delicious food?"

Fang Zheng frowned in displeasure.

"Then, there are always a few Huahang boats nearby, right? What if I get excited and want to drink Hualien?"

Yanran angrily pointed his head and said angrily: "It's not enough to have us sisters. Do you want to go out to drink flower wine?"

"That's it." Fang Zheng touched his chin and stood up: "It's about seclusion, yes. Consider it again, consider it, consider it.

As he said that, Fang Zheng put on his shoes, walked out with his hands in his back, muttering to himself: "What should I do if the formaldehyde exceeds the standard? Without a chef, I want to eat the Bazhen Banquet? Who has ever seen a playboy eat simple food? It would be even worse without a painting. It is a daily necessity. Well, it is not appropriate to live in seclusion for the time being, very inappropriate."

Fang Zheng's face was heavy, and he walked out of the door and drifted to an unknown place like a wandering soul.

Only three girls were left in Fang Ran looking at each other, her expressions seemed to be crying and laughing, and it was very strange.

Yanran collapsed her shoulders and said with a small mouth: "I was wrong." I shouldn't mention this to him!"

Feng Jie bit her lip and said angrily: "This guy is born a man of alcoholics. If you tell him that he is living in seclusion, it is easier to persuade tigers to eat grass."

Xiao Lu, who was scheming, nodded quickly and agreed: "That's it."
Chapter completed!
