Chapter 52

Many aristocratic families in Beijing have not yet reacted to the fact that Emperor Cheng established the crown prince. Yuanhe is really about to usher in a change of emperor and courtier.

The aristocratic families in Beijing have always prided themselves on their cleanliness, and there are not a few who have had feuds with the Qin family.In their eyes, the Qin family is nothing more than a shabby family, and even if they become relatives of the emperor, they can only rely on power to manipulate others, but they never thought that maybe one day the five princes will really ascend to the throne of God, and the Qin family will be the real glory at that time Peerless.

Over the years, the status of the aristocratic family in Beijing has gradually declined in the court, but they also understand that if the fifth prince is registered as the prince, then Yuanhe's court will be completely changed.They wanted to see how Qin Xiang would be the first to start the scene, but they didn't want the Qu family to act first.

As the honorable family in Beijing who chose to retreat from the court at the beginning and only retain the honor of their ancestors, and turned around to manage their business well, the Qu family seemed to have their own small calculations, and began to have private discussions with some civil servants and military generals. Walk around, and any disturbance in Xingnai City cannot be concealed.

Qu He immediately rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go back to his mother's house to tear down the house, what were he doing without even saying hello.Emperor Cheng is moody now, if Prime Minister Qin used this as an excuse to say that Ling Yu formed a party for personal gain, wouldn't it be a waste of help?

But Ling Yu next to her stopped her, his quiet eyes reflected Zhao'an outside the courtyard.

In summer, the fragrance of lotus blossoms was blowing in the wind. He was squatting on the ground and teasing Ling Fei in the early summer that filled the courtyard. His smile was so bright under the shining sun.

Emperor Cheng's expression of joy and anger flashed through his mind, from the day he let Zhao'an out of the night to follow him in and out, some things were destined to be resolved, there was no escape, no escape.

It was another early morning, the genius was dim, and the carriage of the Third Prince's Mansion had already arrived. When Ling Xu walked to the gate of the palace, he saw that the young courtier who had spoken that day was also at the gate, but he didn't go in.

Ling Yu walked past him without even giving him an extra look.

Seeing that he didn't pay attention to him at all, the young courtier turned to Ling Yu's back and said in a low voice, "Your Highness..." There was a choking sound in his words.

Ling Yu paused and didn't look back, but said: "I don't want to know what you have to hide. You should know that from the moment you opened your mouth that day, you and I have been strangers." In fact, he was really moved that day. It was murderous, but looking back now, I really feel stupid and not worth it.

His voice is very soft, but every word is clearly audible. Ling Yu will not take personal revenge, but he will not tolerate betrayal.After speaking, he left, leaving the young courtier standing under the gate of the palace.

Above the main hall, as expected, Qin Xiang's lineage began to impeach the Qu family to contact civil servants and military generals, and secretly formed a party for personal gain. They even knew exactly who the Qu family contacted on which day, and the words pointed directly at Ling Yu secretly coveting the prince. position, win over courtiers.

In fact, Emperor Cheng was not in very good spirits, and his body was not as good as before when he was older. He frowned, and he didn't know whether it was because of anger or sleepiness. Hearing this, he slightly raised his eyes to look at Ling Yu, and said, "Third Prince, what do you want?" said?"

The hall was very quiet, everyone was waiting for Ling Yu to speak.It is one thing to be able to discuss the establishment of a reserve, but it is another thing to form a party. The latter is dreaded at any time.From the day Qu He married Ling Yu, the Qu family has been related to the interests of the Third Prince's Mansion, so even if Ling Yu ordered it or not, the behavior of the Qu family cannot escape the shadow of the Third Prince. Nothing to do.

Ling Yu didn't change his face, and said in a deep voice: "My son knows about the Qu family."

Qin Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect the third prince to admit it so readily. Amidst the discussions in the court, he said, "Third Highness, you allow the Yue family to interfere in political affairs at will. Do you not let His Majesty go by doing this? In the eyes?"

Immediately after Prime Minister Qin, several admonishers followed Prime Minister Qin's words and accused Ling Yu, from conniving relatives to talking about the relationship between monarch and minister, vowing to place the hat of contempt for the monarch on Ling Yu's head.

In addition, some courtiers couldn't see it and came out to defend Ling Yu. The ancestors of the Qu family were glorious, and they still have titles, and they are rarely involved in political affairs.

The students of Prime Minister Qin have always been domineering, so they immediately retorted, and for a while, you and I went back and forth in the court, endlessly.It wasn't until Emperor Cheng's face sank that the verbal dispute stopped.

But Ling Yu didn't change his face, and said sternly: "The recent running of the Qu family is not for the children, but because the Qu family has the heart to serve the country. The war has just stopped, the city has been repaired, and the military needs to be replenished. Since the beginning of summer, the south has been suffering from severe floods. Too much, which is not good for the people's livelihood. Although the Qu family has not served in the court for a long time, they still feel grateful for His Majesty's kindness, and they have repeatedly mentioned that they want to relieve the court's worries, supplement military supplies, and help the people's livelihood. The so-called walking these days is to connect these things."

Qin Xiang's family didn't expect this to happen, and everyone was speechless. After holding back for a long time, a voice finally said: "The third prince's words are unfounded, but do you have evidence?"

Ling Yu handed over the booklet in his hand, and said, "The Qu family has already carefully planned out the money to be donated."

Qingming immediately took it and handed it to Emperor Cheng. Emperor Cheng looked at the donation items and money on the booklet, and it seemed that the Qu family had a good plan. Although the money was donated to the imperial court, careful planning and targeted donations also The planning has fallen to where it needs to be as much as possible, and these are indeed known only after careful questioning.

Emperor Cheng glanced at Ling Yu, who was not surprised, and signaled Qingming to pass the folder to Qin Xiang and the others. After Qin Xiang took it and looked at it carefully, his heart sank. Sure enough, the matters involved and the officials who walked around could match up.

Emperor Cheng glanced at their slightly changed faces and asked, "Is there anything else to say?"

The admonishers behind Prime Minister Qin looked at each other, hesitating for a while, unable to speak: "This..."

Emperor Cheng didn't wait for them, and said indifferently: "It's better to say that Prime Minister Qin can take out the 100 million taels of silver to increase the army's salary and help the disaster-stricken areas."

In fact, Qin Xiang didn't say a lot, most of them were the admonishers, but Chengdi's direct roll call was undoubtedly expressing his dissatisfaction.

How could Prime Minister Qin not understand that this was set up by Ling Yu? He had been prepared for a long time and was waiting for himself to make trouble. He hated himself for being fooled. He bowed his head and said: "The Qu family is loyal to the country. It is the ministers who are worried about state affairs. I was too cautious and narrow-minded, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

It is not a personal grudge to cover up one's selfishness with a few words, and to be cautious for the country.

Emperor Cheng snorted lightly, reprimanded the admonishers for fear of chaos, praised the Qu family's righteous deeds, and gave Qu He some rewards, and these fell into the ears of Prime Minister Qin , is undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face.

When he was going to court, Ling Yu walked out of the palace gate, and saw Zhao'an who was bored waiting beside the carriage, a smile appeared in his eyes, and for a moment, the smile condensed on his face again.

"Third brother, is he proud today?" Ling Xu's voice came from behind, "One million taels is a bit of vanity, it's really a big deal."

Ling Yu turned around and said calmly: "There is nothing to be proud of, but instead of keeping your eyes on me, it's better to look at your own shortcomings. After all, political affairs are changing, and it's not just a joke."

Ling Xu saw that Ling Yu was teaching earnestly like an elder, with impeccable gentleness, and he also let out a chuckle: "That's natural, as I said before, as a younger brother, I have to learn more from my third brother." , after all, Brother Dahuang... oh, no, he is King Shen now, isn't he already useless?"

Ling Yu followed his example and said, "What I can teach my fifth younger brother is the four words of self-discipline."

Ling Xu's face is exquisite, and there is a smile in his eyes. At first glance, the two seem to be brothers and sisters. Zhao'an is not far away, but Ling Yu has not come over for a long time, and there is a person who has been standing there Talking to him, others couldn't see it, but he knew that Ling Yu was a little impatient, so he ran over and interrupted without thinking too much: "Your Highness, it's time to go."

Ling Xu was trying to stimulate his gentle third brother, but he was suddenly interrupted, and he couldn't help frowning. The people around Ling Yu always knew the rules, so such an uneducated guard didn't care. Seeing it, he thought Ling Yu would scold him, but Ling Yu just said softly, "Okay."

Ling Xu looked at this handsome guard up and down, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Third brother changed to a small guard? It looks more... courageous than the previous one." Isn't it audacious to walk in front of the imperial court without knowing etiquette? What.

Zhao An also raised his head and looked at the person in front of him. With his age and title, the person in front of him must be the Fifth Prince Ling Xu.He was used to being casual since he was a child, and he couldn't remember that he had to salute Ling Xu in such a scene.

The two of them looked at each other like this, but Ling Xu suddenly stepped back half a point. He felt a trace of killing intent from this person in a trance, just for a moment, like an illusion. When he wanted to confirm again, Ling Yu suddenly stood by him. Between the two, the tall and straight figure firmly covered the figure of the little guard in front of him, and he turned his head and said: "If the fifth brother is fine, I will leave first."

Before Ling Xu could speak, he took Zhao'an into the car and left Ling Xu's sight.

Leaving Ling Xu standing in front of the palace gate, he felt a trace of cold sweat on his body, and his eyes gradually became sharper.

In the yamen of the household department, Zhao'an handed a cup of tea to Ling Yu's desk, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I'm sorry."

Ling Yu stopped writing, looked at his guilty face, and said softly: "Zhao'an, I don't blame you, I just walk in front of others, you have to learn to restrain yourself."

Zhaoan understood all these reasons, and he nodded, but Ling Xu's slightly provocative gaze caused him to fluctuate a little, and he didn't expect Ling Xu to be so sensitive, and asked, "Your Highness, should I give you another chance?" Are you making trouble? Am I...have been your troubles all this time? "

Since Zhao'an came back, he has been constantly reconfirming whether he has caused trouble for Ling Yu, and he is always a little cautious and careful when there is trouble.

Ling Yu pulled him to let him sit next to him, and said seriously: "You have never caused me trouble, and you have never been a trouble. I am just worried about you." He kissed his forehead and said: "You want to Remember what I once told you, no matter what happens, you have to protect yourself so that you can talk about the future."

Zhao'an's eyes turned around, and he stretched out his arms to hug Ling Yu. His heartbeat was strong and powerful under his chest, and he said muffledly for a long time: "Well, I see."
