Volume Three, Wings, Chapter 159, Three Eagles with One Arrow
At three o'clock in the morning, the sun had already shone into Feng Yu's bedroom, but it was a pity that he hadn't woken up yet.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good, it's not good, something big has happened!"
The sound of knocking on the door came one after another, the sound was so loud that it woke Feng Yu up from his sleep.
"Xiaolan, what's going on? What are you doing in such a hurry? Don't you know that a hangover is very uncomfortable? I want to sleep!"
"Your Highness, something big has happened, something big about you!"
"Okay, okay, come in and say, don't knock on the door again!"
Feng Yu rarely locked doors and windows, so Xiao Lan just opened the door and barged in, with a sad look on her face and non-stop walking.
"Your Highness, what's wrong is that the story of you teasing the Crown Princess yesterday has been spread all over the capital today, and the people outside are waiting to see the joke!"
Feng Yu opened his eyes and glanced at her helplessly, "So, isn't this a normal thing? I'll sleep a little longer."
"Your Highness, you have just come back. The ministers in the DPRK do not take you seriously. It is not easy for you to get the official position of Minister of War. This is a good opportunity for you to enter the officialdom. Now that the people want to continue discussing like this, your
I’m afraid the chance is gone!”
"Is there something wrong with this? If you were His Majesty, would you still give me a chance?"
"Of course I won't do this. This is a matter of character, and of course it must be investigated strictly!"
"That's alright. It's unbecoming to make noise! Close the door when you go out. I'll sleep a little longer."
"Oh, I got it."
In the front hall, Xiaomei, Xiaozhu, Xiaoju, and some servants were waiting there. When they saw Xiaolan running back, they quickly asked: "Xiaolan, where is your highness?"
"His Highness said he still needs some sleep. He was too drunk last night and his head feels uncomfortable."
"Then have you told him what happened?"
"I told you, but His Highness~"
"How did he say?"
"Your Highness, he doesn't seem to care at all. Judging from his expression, he is very impatient to disturb him to sleep. It seems that he has guessed it a long time ago."
"You can still sleep after you guessed it and haven't figured out how to solve it yet. His Highness's psychological quality is really good."
"Tell me, what have His Highness done in the past two days? He did not give the Crown Prince face in the court, and his official position was lost. Yesterday he molested the Crown Princess in front of her, and today she has become notorious, that is, His Royal Highness the King of Wei.
Nothing wrong happened."
"Hey, should we go into the palace to find Concubine Yu to plead for mercy?"
"How can we get in with our identities?"
After lunch time passed, Feng Yu stretched out, opened the door and walked out.
"Xiaolan, Xiaoju, Xiaozhu, and Xiaomei, are they all here?"
"Here, Your Highness, you finally woke up!"
"I'm a little hungry. Let's make a bowl of hangover soup and make some food on the way. Just deal with it casually. It doesn't have to be too complicated."
"Yes, Your Highness."
At the table, a few people stood there, watching their highness finish all the meals in a hurry. They looked really hungry.
"Your Highness, what should we do about things outside? Do we need to go into the palace to find Concubine Yu and Your Majesty?"
"What do you want to do with them? Let those people say whatever they want. What do they do to me?"
Several people did not dare to persuade him any more, but they were anxious and restless in their hearts, eager for His Highness to come up with an idea.
It's a pity that Feng Yu couldn't comply with their wishes. After dinner, he left them to clean up and went back to the room alone.
Xia Tianhe suddenly flashed in and stood behind Feng Yu.
Feng Yu pointed to another cup of tea on the table and motioned for him to sit down, "Elder Xia, you haven't had a good rest after being busy for so long. Please sit down and have a cup of tea."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"How's it going? Do you have a general idea?"
"Your Highness, that's about it. It's a pity that there are not many guards who are dedicated to you. Most of them come with a purpose, especially since the unfavorable words about you from outside have spread throughout the capital. Many people are secretly looking for opportunities to contact their own bodyguards.
That person also gave me an excellent opportunity to observe them. However, I am only one person after all, so I cannot follow them at the same time, and I am afraid that there are experts in their house."
"It doesn't matter. Since there are only a few, I would rather kill them by mistake than let them go. Then I will find an opportunity to exchange them all, leaving no one behind. Both the prince and the king of Wei know that I have discovered their people. It is up to them whether to take them away or not."
When my order comes, you don't have to worry about anything else, and you don't have to give anyone face."
"However, His Highness was very decisive to me yesterday. If I hadn't known some inside information, I would have been kept secret, let alone the common people."
"What I want is this effect. I tried it out with the prince. He is very smart and well-mannered. The same is true with King Wei. However, I left an illusion for him. He will not definitely believe me, but he should not interfere with me casually.
If the prince takes the opportunity to deal with me, he will not care."
"Sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. In this way, no matter whether you are on his side or not, His Highness cannot be alone. As long as you are not hostile to him, it will always be beneficial to him."
"In other words, the more beneficial I am to him, the more beneficial it is to me. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and he will not take the initiative to deal with me. If the prince knows my identity as a fake prince, he will definitely treat me
Think deeply about your behavior, and will not be confused by appearances. Even if you are dissatisfied with me, you will not personally break the situation between His Majesty and the old prince. I should be able to rest easy now."
"Your Highness, there is a third party. Some people outside say what you say is extremely unpleasant."
"Then what image do you think this king should establish?"
Xia Tianhe has a lot of experience. He is not so old for nothing. He thinks more far-term than most people. After thinking for a long time, he could not think of a more suitable one.
"This is difficult. In the current situation, no matter what kind of image you have, it is not good for His Highness. Your danger comes from the court. If you show off your sharpness too much, you may be killed in advance. After all, during the trip to Minzhou, you found that you still have trouble.
There is a Seven Killer, and I suspect there is a back-up in the palace. Being mediocre is not conducive to the civil and military officials and the people remembering you. Your image at the moment is somewhat prestigious, but it is a pity that your reputation is not very good."
"The most memorable things in this world are only two sides. From one extreme to the other, nothing in between will move faster than these two extremes. Minzhou's resistance to the enemy is one, and its notoriety is the other."
Xia Tianhe finished a cup of tea, took a deep look at Feng Yu, and said something from the bottom of his heart, "If His Highness doesn't tell me, I'm afraid I won't be able to fully understand your move, Your Highness."
Your thoughts are really terrifying. If you cannot trust my Xia family, I am afraid that my Xia family, including me, will be manipulated by His Highness. I wonder whether it is a blessing or a curse to seek refuge with you."
"Then, what does Elder Xia think?"
"I am willing to bet on this game. The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. It is quite fun to work with His Highness."
"reason."
"Firstly, I firmly believe that you are the young master of my Xia family. Secondly, I admire your wisdom. Thirdly, I need to take advantage of what happened back then. Fourthly, I am getting older and I am no longer able to do it, but I still hope that the Xia family
able to survive.”
Feng Yu also looked at him deeply, "I also believe that Elder Xia's choice will not be wrong."
"It's a wonderful plan to kill three birds with one stone. I look forward to the day when His Highness will stand up!"
After saying that, he left without leaving any trace.
Several days passed in a row, and everyone in Prince Huai's Mansion stayed indoors. When they heard the rumors on the street, their faces were filled with shame.
"Your Highness, do you really not care?"
"How to control it? Should I go out and arrest people? Or should I stop their mouths? I'm not a god. They can just say whatever they want."
"You can apologize to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and then find the person who spread the rumors. We will definitely solve the problem."
Feng Yu looked at the four little girls and thought about him, unlike others who approached him with purpose.
"You think this can solve it, then tell me who will spread the word?"
"Only the people in the East Palace should know about His Highness's actions that day. If you go to the East Palace and ask, you will definitely know."
"Then think again, who did I molest?"
"Princess."
"I molested the Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince still wants people to talk nonsense about it, right? What are you trying to do? Could it be justice? If this happened to you, would you still rush to speak out?"
Girls, look at me and I look at you. What His Highness said seems to make sense. With her status as a Crown Princess, shouldn’t she be shameless?
"Your Highness, who could that be?"
"You guys, if you keep following me in the future, you must learn to be smarter. You can't be so reckless all the time. Do you think that only the people in the East Palace know about this? The moment we go out, I bet that King Wei
I must already know, of course, there are other people I don’t know about, after all, there are too many and too complicated.”
"Why is it happening like that?"
"So, I said, you are naive. If it was really someone from the East Palace who ignored the face of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess and went out to say it, then the Crown Prince would have arrested that person and tortured him in the past few days, and then came forward to clarify, and also
Do you need to look for it outside?"
"Then it's impossible to explain clearly, so what should I do? Is it possible that His Highness will always wear this hat?"
"Why are you panicking? It's a fact. The princess's hands are indeed very comfortable to touch. They are as smooth and tender as tofu."
"Your Highness, please stop talking."
"Hahaha!"
Feng Yu stopped chatting with them and went to the backyard martial arts field to practice alone. In the past two days, he asked Xia Xiahe for advice on the details of Jingshen Palm and Jingshen Legs. He felt so enlightened that how could he slack off?
