Your Highness, Jiangshan hires you

Chapter 060

Prince's Mansion.

Xiao Luan was a little restless, and he couldn't calm down now, "Uncle, it's fine if we can't keep the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household, but Xiao Luo..."

Zhang Xiu said coldly: "Prince, the more it is like this, the more we can't be messed up. We are not the only ones who are in a hurry. We sent a hundred dead soldiers to kill, according to what the person who was released by Xiao Luo said. , it was Xiao Luo who took the shot and killed them all in an instant, originally we had some doubts about such a thing, but at this moment, it has been confirmed, then, at this time, we have to be even more careful."

"Uncle said, I also know that Xiao Luo was originally born by a lowly court lady, I didn't expect that he would be able to have today's fortune." Xiao Luan's face was filled with endless anger, "Xiao Luo can achieve such a terrifying The level of a person must be taught by King Ding behind his back, but this King Ding is too scary. It has not been a year since Xiao Luo was brought back to Prince Ding's mansion by King Ding. Bai, moreover, those killed by Xiao Luo are not ordinary masters."

"King Ding is something that people can't figure out. If King Ding really directly intervenes in the court affairs, even the emperor can't stop him. Obviously, now that he has cultivated Xiao Luo, everything It's all for Xiao Luo to do, this Xiao Luo must have some kind of opportunity given to him by King Ding to have such a powerful ability." Zhang Xiu analyzed.

"Uncle, these are unquestionable, that is, what should we do to save the situation right now, if this continues, Xiao Luo will step on us one day sooner or later, all the things that he didn't deal with in the past, this person will definitely turn upside down Come out, then..."

Zhang Xiu frowned slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Prince Ding can announce in front of everyone that the Palace of Ding Palace will still not interfere in the government affairs. Xiao Luo also stood up as the Ninth Prince. Obviously, King Ding has absolute If you are sure, you can believe that Xiao Luo can secure a chance to win, but as long as King Ding does not intervene and deal with Xiao Luo, if a hundred people can't succeed last time, then what about thousands or ten thousand people."

"What does uncle mean by that?"

"About Xiao Luo, they are already on their way back to the imperial capital, and Xiao Cheng and Liu Shuo have been investigating the details of this matter. They have been staring at us, and they must know that we are going to make a move, but , things failed, how could they not want to know, and we can all guess that these things were very secretive, but they were finally revealed, as long as they are not stupid, they can also think that they are just being used That’s all, as long as we reveal all this to them, then no matter how stupid they are, they should be sure.”

Xiao Luan was slightly taken aback when he heard his uncle's words, but he soon realized, "What uncle said is very true, and now we can be completely sure that we were also caught by the incident that fell on the southern border. Take advantage, everyone knows that we and Xiao Cheng are in the same situation. Earlier they lost Qin Hong and lost control of the military power in the southern border. But this time, we first lost the opportunity to control the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and took Yi Heng, the official minister, and then Involving Fang Ning, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, this series of involvements can be said to be a heavy loss, as long as our people can't make up for it, then we will fight with each other, and they will benefit from it."

"That's right, I guess, that's what they're planning. Whether it's us or Xiao Cheng and the others, they've always regarded each other as an enemy. As long as there are flaws caught, they'll fight to the end. There's a chance of that." their intervention."

"In the past few years, we have confronted Xiao Cheng, and the power of both parties in the court has become stronger and stronger. My uncle also analyzed before that the father is still at the peak of his spring and autumn. It is impossible for us to develop too fast. In the future, we will not be able to Control, and Xiao Luo also has the heart to fight, so he simply let Xiao Luo enter the game."

"That's right." Zhang Xiu replied without denying it.

"Uncle, do you want me to join forces with Xiao Cheng temporarily?"

"Prince Ding took Xiao Luo away from the palace. At the beginning, there was a lot of doubt. No one knew why King Ding did this, and gave him the status of Princess Ding. It can be said that this is to let a Yuan himself go to hell. The person who was born in this world instantly ascended to immortality, but now, he directly said that Xiao Luo was acting as the Ninth Prince, and the Ding Palace would not interfere. This is enough to prove that Xiao Luo is not what it used to be, and what happened before proves that over that."

"But, uncle, this alliance..."

"Only by working together to solve the immediate troubles can we have a follow-up opportunity. Yes, His Highness is the prince and has an absolute advantage. But now we have lost a lot. The person who will inherit the great rule in the future will only be the prince. That person, and before that, His Highness was the prince, no matter who they wanted to be, they had to get rid of each other, and then they would have a chance to compete with His Highness. In the past few years, it was the Second Prince and the others, but The person who appears now is Xiao Luo, this is a person trained by King Ding."

Xiao Luan also understood clearly, "Uncle means, no matter whether it is me or Xiao Cheng, whoever is completely defeated first, then neither of them will be able to resist, after being trained by such unpredictable people as King Ding people."

"That's exactly what I mean." Zhang Xiu sighed melancholy, "It's just that I really didn't expect that what the emperor meant, even if he wanted to weaken the power in Liu Shuo and me, we could start from other aspects. In this way, the second prince of Tang allowed Xiao Luo to enter the game, it seems that these matters have been made a decision a long time ago, even since Xiao Luo was taken away by King Ding, the emperor has made a decision."

"Uncle, then, how do we plan this matter?"

"Currently, we can only let the Empress first come forward and disclose the news to Concubine Liu. As long as Concubine Liu knows, then Xiao Cheng and Liu Shuo will also know."

"Okay, I will send someone to send the news to the palace and inform the queen mother."

……

Palace, Fengyi Palace.

In the past two days, Empress Zhang has been more or less paying attention to the outside affairs. After all, Xiao Luo really wants to stand up as the Ninth Prince to participate in the succession struggle. This is really a huge hidden danger, and there has been no definite news for a long time. Inform her, but also let her know that Xiao Luo and his party who went to Jiangzhou City are already on their way back to Beijing, how can this make her feel at ease.

Early this morning, every day, the people around her would go to confirm whether Ming Che entered the palace.

But at the same time, the news sent to her by the prince made her terrified.

At this moment, Empress Zhang looked at the harem concubines who came to pay their respects in the palace, naturally she was not thinking, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'm here today, you all kneel down."

All the concubines stood up, saluted, and left separately.

And Concubine Liu Gui also noticed the sudden change in the empress' face just now. During this period, the most important thing is that the emperor sent Xiao Luo to Jiangnan Province to investigate. As for them, they are naturally watching whether the prince's people are interested in Xiao Luo. Hands-on, although he knew that Xiao Luo was already on his way back to the capital smoothly, but he didn't know the specific details comprehensively.

Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by the empress.

Concubine Liu Gui turned around again, smiled lightly, and said, "I don't know what orders the empress has?"

Empress Zhang gestured for a glance, turned her left and right sides back, and said in a concentrated voice: "Xiao Luo is on his way back to the capital smoothly, and the concubine and sister must have known about it."

"Your Majesty said this, I think you must have known about it earlier than this concubine." Concubine Liu Gui replied with a smile, "It's just that this concubine thought that Xiao Luo would suddenly stand up and step on this matter to climb up the ladder." , the empress and His Royal Highness must not tolerate him, I never thought they would let him come back smoothly."

"Isn't the noble concubine always wanting to know what happened? Could it be that the noble concubine doesn't want to know now?"

"The concubine is somewhat curious, but you know, empress, what is going on, the details, if the concubine is really not blessed to know, naturally the concubine will not force her to investigate, maybe when Xiao Luo returns In the imperial capital, after meeting the emperor, everything will be revealed?"

Empress Zhang said calmly, "Why do you need to cover up between us, and say these nonsense, we sent someone to take action, and the person we sent died in Xiao Luo's hands. He fought one against a hundred, and sealed his throat with one sword .”

Concubine Liu Gui's heart skipped a beat. Previously, her elder brother and son had speculated that Xiao Luo could go smoothly, relying solely on the imperial guards sent by the emperor, as long as the crown prince killed him, there would be no future troubles, but Xiao Luo Luo was still safe and sound, but King Ding didn't intervene. They all speculated that it might be because of Xiao Luo himself. Hearing the queen's words now, it was undoubtedly verified.

"What did the Empress want to say by telling the concubine so straightforwardly?" Concubine Liu Gui was astonished in her heart, but her face was as calm as ever.

Empress Zhang sneered, "Sister Guifei is such a smart person, and I have said things so bluntly. Could it be that my sister Guifei couldn't think of it? From the matter of Qin Hong in the past to the present matter, we were at the beginning, and now You are all just designed, as for who will benefit in the end, I don’t need to tell you.”

Concubine Liu Gui could understand what she heard, even a blind person could see that the one who has benefited the most now is Xiao Luo, a prince born to a lowly court lady, a person who is as humble as dust, but can participate in this succession struggle, anyone No one thought of it.

"So." Concubine Liu Gui smiled lightly, and said tentatively: "It has been so long since Qin Hong's matter, and the matter has been settled, but now there is no result regarding the matter of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household Affairs. , These are all your affairs, do you still want to say, empress, can't we work together?"

"Joining hands is not a bad idea. The imperial concubine is absolutely sure. Even if Prince Ding's Mansion declares to the world that Prince Ding's Mansion will not interfere in the government affairs, you can still deal with Xiao Luo. Don't forget, if Prince Ding dares to say such a word, it is enough After Xiao Luo has been trained by him, no one can match him."
