Chapter 178 The thoughts of the eldest princess
Yang Ze thought of Wu Youren's hint, and no matter who he said, Wu Youren and the one behind him, he already knew the princess' plan and was waiting for the opportunity. As soon as the princess took action, they would also take action. Wu Youren hinted that if something happened, don't just listen to the princess, because the princess might not really become the princess!
This is not a hint, it is a threat!
Yang Ze wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The capital city is really not a place for people to treat, and the power struggle is too cruel. Both sides who are enemies of each other must kill each other. A small fish and shrimp like him can only be used as cannon fodder!
But why should I be cannon fodder for others?
Yang Ze gritted his teeth, otherwise he would go to Queen Dugu in advance and reveal this matter. This will not only distinguish himself, but also increase the favorability of Queen Dugu towards him. But he thought again, no, although Queen Dugu likes others to express her to the secrets, she will never believe how loyal a person who informs her is. She will only think that she can do something, and that there are too many people she offended. Queen Dugu cannot live forever. No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, she will have to settle the score with her in the future!
After thinking about it, his head hurts. Yang Ze finally made up his mind that if this case happens, no matter what changes will happen in the court, the construction of the river embankment will inevitably be delayed. What should the people near the capital do when the flood comes next year? Watching them displaced? Are you silent just for fear of being settled by others in the future? Do you have to watch thousands of people unsafe for your own safety?
Where is your conscience? Can you lose your conscience? No, you can lose your future, but you can’t lose your conscience!
The eldest princess's mansion.
The eldest princess looked at Ning Baotie sitting in front of her and thought to herself: "This person is untrustworthy. He betrayed others for promotion today, and in order to get promoted again, he might also sell himself. After using it, he would just kill him!"
Ning Baotie was full of excitement. He had already learned that he was going to be promoted to generals to be the chief general. He had always wanted to become a senior official in the court in his life, but he had no chance. Unexpectedly, he just sold Princess Yong'an and immediately promoted to the third rank. It was worth it!
The eldest princess whispered: "You rejected Yong'an's win over some time ago, which is very good, but I hope that when she sends someone to you again, you must agree that the reasons for the Jiangdi will be in cooperation with the Ministry of Works, and you can take charge of the matter of the Ministry of Works. But the Ministry of Works certainly cannot, so you must cooperate with Yong'an and write down all the names of all the people involved in the matter. Do you understand?"
"The emperor understand!" Ning Baotie replied respectfully. When he betrayed Princess Yong'an, he had already decided to board the Princess's ship. He firmly believed that there were no one in Chang'an who could compete with the Princess. The Princess would definitely become the princess and the next queen, and he was an important official who had the merits of support!
The eldest princess said again: "This matter cannot be leaked, and you must strongly support Yong'an's plan and tell her that for safety reasons, the more people participate, the less likely they will be to leak the secrets. Let her win over other officials to do this, but you must not leak the news and not let people go to the emperor to report, do you understand?"
Ning Baotie nodded again and said, "The lower officials understand. The foolish opinions of the lower officials cannot be leaked. Even if some irrelevant people know, they dare not say it."
The eldest princess gave a few more words, then waved her hand and asked Ning Baotie to leave.
It was getting darker, there were no lights or attendants in the hall, and the eldest princess sat alone in the darkness, thinking about her thoughts. She remembered the happy times of her childhood, the bloody storm of adulthood, and even the eldest and second brothers who were exiled to other places.
The eldest brother is the kindest, but he is also the weakest, but the eldest brother is very kind to her sister. When he was a child, he held himself in the imperial garden and let himself ride on his shoulders to pick peaches in the garden. The peaches are so sweet!
Unfortunately, my elder brother is a good person, but not a good emperor. He was deposed by his mother and sent to the west. I heard that he was in poor health and might not be able to live long, and maybe he would not be able to return to Chang'an until he died.
There is also the second brother, who is both civil and military, and is never cowardly. But because he is too tough, when the second brother becomes emperor, he has conflicts with his mother, and he is also abolished and sent to the frontier, but he is even more unlucky than the eldest brother. The eldest brother's freedom is not restricted, but the second brother is banned. He is surrounded by a high wall in the desolate frontier. He can only get food through a small door every day, and he can only live a life of silence. I heard that his health is not as good as the eldest brother. Maybe he will die earlier!
After thinking about the eldest brother and the second brother, the eldest princess thought of the third brother in the capital again! The third brother is the most useless. His civil and military skills are inseparable from him. He is not only cowardly, but also unkind. He would rather give up the throne than fight against his mother. He also watched the ministers who tried to protect him be killed by his mother and the royal families were eradicated one by one, and he didn't say a word. He just wanted to survive, and he was even afraid that his son Li Zhenglong would cause trouble outside and would implicate him. This is an A Dou who couldn't help!
But, this Adou also needs to be eliminated, otherwise he will not be the prince!
In the shadow, the eldest princess slowly stood up. She knew that as long as Princess Yong'an, who dared to do something on the construction of the dike, could use this matter to make trouble, lead the fire to Li Zhenglong, and then burn it to the third brother, and also to the ministers who were looking forward to the front dynasty. As long as she passed this matter, the court would be alone in the world. Her mother, the queen, was old and there was no one else to choose from except herself. She would definitely become the heir to the empire!
Picking up the flint on the table, the eldest princess lit the candle, and the candlelight illuminated her kind, uncontested face!
When it was not dark, outside the palace gate.
Yang Ze lowered his head and waited for the summoning of Queen Dugu. He requested to meet Queen Dugu on the grounds of reporting the Yuwen family's case.
A guard came in to inform him, but the guard at the door asked in a gossip: "Mr. Yang, isn't the Yuwen family's case settled? Why do you still have to go to the palace? But there is a turning point? Let's talk about it!"
Yang Ze had something in his mind, so he looked up and smiled, and said to the guard: "The case has been settled, but now there are many rumors in the capital, saying that Lord Yuwen was a bit romantic before, so... Anyway, they are not good words, they are all rumors, which damages Lord Yuwen's reputation, so I want to go to the palace to ask the emperor for instructions on how to eliminate these rumors."
When the guards heard this, they all laughed. Many people already knew the truth about the Yuwen family case, and the more they spread it, the more evil it became. But this was all spread by everyone, that is, to find a happy life and see others being unlucky, and it is not a big deal!
A guard said, "You don't have to ask the emperor for advice in person, it's just a few rumors. You don't need to think about it and it will disappear naturally after a while. Is this still a matter!"
Yang Ze shook his head and said, "But I tried this case. If these rumors come to Lord Yuwen's ears, I will not be able to meet again in the future. Don't he think it was the rumors I made!"
"How is this possible? This is impossible. Lord Yuwen would never think so. Besides, he left Beijing, I don't know when he will come back. Why are Lord Yang worried about this?" The guards were all surprised. They felt that Yang Ze was too timid and even worried about such things. It was too worrying!
Yang Ze still shook his head and said, "Please ask the emperor to tell me, I can't make the decision!"
The guards were like him together and shook their heads. They all said in their hearts that it was just one move. This Yang Shaoqing is really not a big deal. I guess his future in this life will be just a Shaoqing!
Under the contempt of the guards, a little eunuch came out, which happened to be the one who led Yang Ze into the palace last time. This time it was him again. The little eunuch came to Yang Ze, announced him to enter the palace, and met the Queen Dugu.
Yang Ze followed the little eunuch. When he walked to a place where no one was left, he took out a handful of golden seeds from his pocket. This time he spent a lot of money and stuffed it into the little eunuch's hand. He smiled and said, "This father-in-law, the emperor is reviewing the memorials now? Will this official disturb the emperor's office when he comes in?"
The little eunuch looked excited and held the golden gourd seeds tightly in his hand. His face turned red and his breathing became thicker. He said, "The emperor has already finished the memorial and is about to have dinner. He is resting now!"
He quickly put the golden gourd into his arms and said, "But both of the princes are here, they are talking with the emperor and have to have dinner together. When they are in front of him, the prince will be in a good mood, but the princes do not like to listen to government affairs, so Lord Yang must be quicker when he talks about things, so he will not annoy them and cause trouble for himself."
Yang Ze was slightly stunned and asked, "The two princes? Which two are they? The official just came from another place. I have never heard of any two princes who are very favored!"
The little eunuch smiled slightly and saw that there was no one around, then he whispered: "It's just the two brothers of the Liu family who have been named Dukes. They are both... Hehe, they are all young and beautiful people. Do we understand what our family says, Lord Yang understands?"
Yang Ze said oh, and of course he understood that these two princes were the male favorites of Queen Dugu! I really didn't expect that Queen Dugu was so old, but she was still so romantic. Not only did she raise a little lover, she also favored two at once. She was so old and could withstand it!
