The Zhen Family Brothers in the Red Chamber

When Little Six went back to the study, he saw King Yong sitting on the side. He stepped forward and knelt on the ground, then took out the sachet given by Bai Zhi, and took out the silver inside, there were five taels of bits and pieces.

"She has always been so generous." King Yong glanced uninterestedly, then glanced at Little Six with his chin in his hand, "What did you hear?"

Xiao Liuzi's ears are naturally sharper than others, but he just knelt in front of King Yong and shook his head: "I only heard that the second elder brother complained that Master Xiaozhu took up the prince's time, and didn't say much about it."

"Go to the princess and tell me that if you find another master these days, the second child needs to set the rules." After he finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Zhen Zhu, and found that although the little guy was pretending to be writing, he was actually writing. The nib of the pen didn't touch the paper at all, and occasionally turned his head slightly to peek at himself.

King Yong frowned, and shouted in a low voice: "Write carefully!"

Zhen Zhu shuddered, this time she no longer paid attention to King Yong, but concentrated on reading instead.

But he said that the prince and Queen Huang obviously helped him solve his worries, but he still had some concerns, so he ordered someone to invite Suo Xiang to meet him outside.He booked a box in the biggest restaurant in the capital, and then went there wearing a dark suit with a hood.

The prince sat down and took a sip of tea when he heard three knocks on the door, and the attendants standing beside him rushed to open the door, and then he saw a rather old man wearing a dark black gown with a He wore a dark blue waistcoat with a jasper finger ring in his hand, and it was obvious at a glance that it had some origin. When he entered the door, there was a gatekeeper standing at the door.

Seeing the person coming, the prince hurried forward, the old man was about to kneel when he saw the prince, and he was supported by the prince: "Why is uncle so polite, I can't stand alone."

Suo Xiang smiled, put one hand on the prince's hand, and stood up with a smile: "Seeing the prince, the old minister is really excited. I don't know why the prince invited the old minister out today?"

The prince glanced at the guards standing inside, and then those people pushed the door straight out, replacing the people brought by Suo Xiang.Suo Xiang glanced at the person who left, thought it over in his mind, and finally thought of something, then sighed unconsciously.

"Uncle also knows that Gu did something stupid before. Now, although the queen mother helped Gu clean up, but I don't know why, Mr. Gu is a little worried. Uncle also knows that the person was originally sent from Jiangnan. Gu also has a paragraph, otherwise Gu would have such a foolish thing!" The prince was really troubled, he originally wanted to reach out and bite his thumb, but when he looked up and saw Suoxiang, he changed his hand to reach for the teacup halfway, and then covered up. took a sip.

Suo Xiang knew that the prince had done something stupid, but it was too late to say anything now. He was a very wise prince before, but he didn't know why he became more and more confused these years. Naturally, he couldn't say that the prince himself was not good, so he could only On the sidelines, he changed several batches of servants for the prince, but the more he changed, the more confused he became.

"I don't know what the prince is worried about. If this matter has never happened, the prince should treat it as never happened. Why did he mention it now?" Suo Xiang is old, and he is unwilling to blame the prince. After all, the few princes below are too good, not to mention the Seven Sage Kings who have gathered nearly half of the court, even King Yong, who has been praised by others as the cold-faced king, is also praised by several Qingliu. practical.

"I don't know. A few days ago, Gu was dreaming about that girl. Gu also likes that girl very much." The prince didn't know what to say, and he anxiously wanted to say what was in his heart. If the father really likes it, she is just a woman, but now the father is not cultivating his fertility, so how to snatch it from Gu, he is just not pleasing to the eye! Obstruction and loneliness, maybe in the future he wants to abolish Gu, yes, the father definitely wants to abolish Gu, that cunning seventh brother just learns how to be a virtuous corporal, but he is just a low breed, crawling out of the stomach of a servant Things, and the third brother, the third brother... the third brother..." The prince rubbed his eyebrows for a moment, and then stopped talking.

Suo Xiang heard it clearly, and couldn't help but look at the prince and said earnestly: "The prince shouldn't have done it at the beginning. If it wasn't for that, the Queen Huang would not feel guilty. If the Queen Huang was willing to help the prince, the prince would not be at this moment." It's so difficult."

Suo Xiang also regretted that he did not persuade the prince to let go, but he not only did not persuade the prince, but also gave the prince a line. The person who left was the person in the queen's palace. However, if others do not know about the conspiracy, nothing will be harmed. If others will know, then it is best not to do it.

The eldest son of King Yong was the first among all the princes. No one knows how many people helped the prince to complete this matter. Not only the empresses in the palace, but also the other princes, but the one who did it in the end was People of the prince, don’t say anything now, don’t need to justify anything, it is because of this matter that the emperor is wary of the prince, a person who can even kill his nephew, if he becomes a great treasure alone in the future, other people There is no way out for the heirs.

"Gu knows, Gu didn't know what he was thinking at the time, there were only two princesses in Gu's backyard, and the father seemed to be getting better and better towards that child, Gu was also afraid, and also afraid..." The prince looked down at His right foot, with the four-clawed golden dragon on it, is different from the prince next to him. When the prince of a country is the crown prince, he feels that he should be supreme, but now he has been having trouble sleeping and eating. Countless women can sleep peacefully, why on earth did I come to this point.

"It's all nonsense to say these things now. The old minister only hopes that the prince can treat the young eighth prince better, so as to sweep away the suspicion of the emperor. Besides, the prince's actions were too fast. The old minister may have someone else do it but let the prince recite it." Black pot." Suo Xiang stretched out his hand and took a sip of tea, then looked at the prince, and spoke slowly.

The crown prince looked back at Suo Xiang, then lowered his eyes to think for a while, then slowly shook his head: "Impossible, at the beginning I got the news that there was an internal response in the third younger brother's mansion, so I ordered someone to make some debilitating medicines. , happened to catch up with the fever, so I went all at once."

If there is someone else, who is it!

Suo Xiang looked at the prince and didn't ask any further questions. It seems that the prince called himself out this time, but he was guilty.

——The prince is really ridiculous!

"Prince, if you have nothing else to do, why don't you get in touch with the sage more, and then go to the empress to take care of the princess, and take care of the princess. The house of the Crown Princess’s family is also very impressive in the court, so be patient, after the saints go, this great river and mountain will always belong to the Crown Prince.” Suo Xiang didn’t know how to persuade the Crown Prince, but he just said something To tell the other party not to be too anxious, it is all about patience at this time, but the prince didn't express much after he said a word, so Suo Xiang said another sentence softly.

"The Holy Majesty has passed the age of knowing the destiny, and there will be a few more years, the prince can rest assured." As soon as these words came out, the prince's eyes lit up, and then he raised the teacup and had a drink with Suo Xiang, and then he rang the bell and ordered The hot food was served.

Seeing the crown prince, Suo Xiang smiled, and he was finally relieved. He waited for two hot dishes to be served, and the prince hurriedly asked Suo Xiang to hold the chopsticks. mouth, I heard a knock on the door outside.

The prince and Suo Xiang turned their heads, the prince frowned and didn't know which blind person was outside, and was about to make a sound, when the door opened suddenly, the people outside knelt on the ground, and the saint was wearing a dark suit The yellow uniform appeared outside, with no expression on his face, only chill.

The prince was startled, his legs gave way and he knelt down by the table, and Suo Xiang hurriedly knelt down as well, shouting: "Greetings to Long Live." Then he knocked his head on the ground clearly and audibly.

The prince also hurriedly called out his father, Wanan, and then his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

The saint's fingers pinching the jade pendant around his waist turned white, his eyes protruded slightly, and the veins on the back of his forehead bulged, showing the other party's anger by jumping and jumping. He looked at his kneeling son, and swept Glancing at the veteran who had worked for him all his life, he finally couldn't help it anymore. He took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, waited to open them again, and said with a smile: "Get up, get up, What are you doing here, but you came out to meet your soldiers and wanted to chat with you, who would have thought that the crown prince would be there too."

Instead of showing a hint of a smile, the sage couldn't hear the other party's previous plan to kill the two of them.

The prince unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor must have not heard it, if he heard this, he must have been reprimanded, how can there be such peace, he straightened up quickly, and then put his hands on his chest and gave the saint another go He made a salute: "It's rare to meet Emperor Father outside. I didn't know that Emperor Father was coming. If I knew, my son would definitely go out to greet him." He smiled and looked at the Holy One as he spoke.

The sage smiled and stepped forward to help the prince, then turned to look at Suoxiang: "Why are you still kneeling? I heard the queen mention it a few days ago. Didn't you say that you have some leg problems these days? It's better, okay. Alright, stop kneeling, get up quickly." The sage put one hand on the prince's hand, and was supported by the prince to sit on the upper seat, and the people outside came in one after another, changing a batch of eating utensils, and then came in two more A woman holding a pipa, and another person moved a screen into the room, and the two women sat behind the screen.

Suo Xiang is an old man, so he naturally knows the nature of the Holy One better than the prince, but now that the matter has come out, he can only bite the bullet and continue to deal with it. He trembled while acting, and almost fell down once he failed Fortunately, the guards on the side supported him.

Suo Xiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then looked at the saint with a weak face: "The old minister is just a little old, and I am afraid that even if he wants to serve the Holy One in the future, he will not be able to continue. Please forgive me."

"What is Suoxiang talking about? It's okay to be an official in the court by two years older than Suoxiang. When I go back, I will order the imperial physician to come and treat you. It will definitely cure your stubborn illness." The saint waved his hands while looking The prince glanced at him, and saw that the prince was anxious when he heard that Prime Minister Suo was about to resign, as if he wanted to say something, his heart turned cold, and he finally gave up.

"The old minister deserves to die. I really can't bear it. If there is room for maneuver, the old minister should do his best for the Holy One." Suo Xiang slowly supported the chair and knelt down for the Holy One. When he knelt, the prince beside him He almost jumped up, he was really surprised, he obviously didn't mention this matter just now, but now it suddenly happened like this, what's going on, how could it be?

"Okay, if you're like this, why don't you tell me how to eat, don't mention it again, get up and eat." The saint pretended to be annoyed, and then ordered someone to help Suo Xiang up, and waited. The singer began to sing Jiangnan tunes.

The sage took two yuan, and then began to drink. The crown prince didn't know how to eat, and just looked at Suoxiang blindly. Since Suoxiang had made up his mind, he would naturally carry it out to the end. After all, he was not alone. If he didn't pay the price this time, The prince may not be safe.The crown prince might naively think that the sage didn't hear it, but Suo Xiang knew that it was absolutely impossible!An eight-year-old who can kill three assistant ministers who are in their prime after ascending the throne is enough to see the nature of a saint. If you don't realize it today, you may not want to regret it in the future.

The saint glanced at Suoxiang, then at the prince, and finally realized that the prince he had spent 30 years training had really failed. This failure made him wonder what he was eating and drinking, and he was waiting to eat for a while , he got up and left, the prince naturally wanted to go back to the palace with him, but the prince looked back at Suo Xiang three times a step at a time, the saint's eyelids twitched, snorted in a place where the prince could not see, shook his sleeves and left.

King Yong heard the news that Suo Xiang was seriously ill and was bedridden. No wonder the prince was motionless like a plague chicken today. The saint was also very strange today. Originally, he always wanted to ask the prince for his opinion. Ask the seventh brother twice.

"Third Brother, wait for me, wait for me to hey." Seven Sage King shouted at King Yong regardless of his appearance, and when he got to him, he had a mysterious expression on his face. He was about to speak when someone patted him on the back A slap, the strength is not small, and when I turned around, I saw King Jing.

"I said Seventh Brother, did you just ignore my Fifth Brother when you saw Third Brother? Can you know something so mysterious that I can't go back?" King Jing looked at Seven Sage King with dissatisfaction. After King Jing was the honest Fourth Prince, who said slowly, "Sixth Brother and I also want to know, Seventh Brother, just now Big Brother said he wanted you to come, why don't we talk about it together?"

But when the prince is unlucky, no prince is unhappy, which is enough to see how lethal the prince is and how many enemies he has!

Originally, the Seven Sage Kings only wanted to bluff and bluff King Yong, so as to see how his strongest opponent would react. It would be best if he could turn out some hole cards, so that he could deal with it smoothly after the prince fell. When he came, he could only obediently follow everyone to Liangge.

The Liangge is the place where the princes played together when they were young, but they seldom come here when they get older, but the people who take care of the Liangge are also careful, the inside is cleaned clean, and the decorations have not changed .

"Hey, the jade carving whose tail I knocked is still there, hehehehehe." King Jing flipped through the treasure chest, dug out a few toys from inside, played with them in his hands, and handed them to King Yong.

"Third brother, look quickly, you helped glue the top together." King Jing sat down next to King Yong, and the top hall His Royal Highness glanced at him, and then said, "Old five, it's alright, there are some It's time for you to play by yourself, isn't the seventh brother busy, let the seventh brother talk."

With a single word from him, everyone turned their attention to the Seven Sage Kings. Among the princes in the room, His Royal Highness sat on the upper right, King Yong sat on the upper left, followed by King Jing, the sixth prince, and the fourth prince sat on the bottom of the grand hall. After that, there will be the Seven Sage Kings, with a clear stand.

The Seven Wise Kings had already regained their composure. He drank the tea offered by the people below, and then said slowly: "Don't worry, big brother, you can see Suo Xiang's letter of resignation today? Father has agreed!"

"This is very strange. Suo Xiangxiang has been ill for so long and never intends to resign. It is strange that the father actually agreed. I am afraid there is something we don't know." He always thought that he was the eldest son, so he felt that he should be the prince, but it was a pity that His Royal Highness had a headache just looking at the documents, so the Seven Sage Kings were more concerned about King Yong than him.

King Jing was playing with the things in his hands without opening his mouth, and King Yong was drinking tea without opening his mouth, but the fourth prince touched his chin and said slowly: "This mother and concubine mentioned that the saint went out of the palace yesterday. An imperial physician was invited, but unfortunately we couldn't see the pulse diagnosis, otherwise we could know more."

"It's out of breath." The Seven Sage Kings smiled and looked at the eldest prince, who clenched his fists for a moment.

"That's right, being a crown prince and going out to see Suoxiang must have been caught by the emperor. Just in time, I'll go first, you guys talk slowly!" After finishing speaking, His Royal Highness hurried outside, almost bumping into the head. A maid with a fruit plate.

The servant girl came into the group wearing a maroon purple dress, with a pearl on her head. She had a good appearance, red lips and white skin. His Highness couldn't help but take another look, but he had something on his mind, so he turned around and left immediately.

The Seven Sage King chuckled and glanced at the maid, who lowered her head respectfully and placed the fruit plate beside the Seven Sage King, and was about to leave when the Seven Sage King grabbed her hand.

"Looking at the delicate skin and tender meat, it actually made our elder brother take a second look. Where is he from?" As soon as he said this, the princes next to him didn't answer, but just kept their heads down and drank tea, as if they didn't see anything. .

"Servant, servant, servant, my lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life." The maid knelt down and kowtowed, King Jing snorted, and King Yong stood up without saying a word, and left.
