Although their buttocks were unscathed, the fourth and sixth children still stayed in Chunhe Palace for some time despite their full performance.
Otherwise, the prince would brutally attack his two younger brothers and drive them out of the palace the next day... This is a good thing to say, but it will hurt the eldest brother's reputation.
Of course, the prince's reputation for benevolence and righteousness has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and most people in the palace will not think of him in the worst possible way. Either they guess that the prince is probably betrayed, or they think that the two highnesses deserve to be beaten...such as Da Ding
The concubine, mother and son only regret that the prince did not break the leg of the sixth child.
But there are also people who are angry with the prince, such as Xiongying who was kept in the dark. Seeing his beloved sixth uncle and his fourth uncle who were in love and killing each other being beaten to the point where they couldn't get out of bed, he felt distressed for several days when he saw the prince turn around and run away.
He won't meet his father.
"Look, you can't be a bad person easily." As soon as the prince came in, the emperor's eldest grandson, who was laughing and joking with his two uncles, ran away in a hurry. The father was very embarrassed.
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. A gentleman embraces his grandson but not his son." The fourth child smiled and said, "My Gao Chi is the same. He turns around and leaves when he sees me."
"Be nice to Pangpang, and he will kiss you." Lao Liu said speechlessly: "I have never seen Fourth Brother like this, and he is jealous of his son all day long!"
"That's right." The boss agreed, "The queen mother said that his fourth sister-in-law raised two sons."
"Hahaha." While the two brothers were laughing, the fourth child was not ashamed to say: "I just like Qi Miaoyun, what's wrong!"
"I am Qi Qian Miao Yun..." The eldest brother and the sixth child burst into laughter, feeling disgusted.
Just laughing, the prince wiped his tears and said, "Then go back quickly and reunite with your Miaoyun."
"Can we go?" The fourth child jumped up happily and put on his pants.
"Don't worry, you've only been lying down for a few days, and you're going to walk out in a big way?" The prince said speechlessly: "Do a complete show, and someone will come in later to carry you two out."
"Oh, okay." The fourth child had no choice but to lie back on the bed and took off his pants again. The sixth child did the same.
"You can still put on your clothes." The boss looked at these two useless people and was completely speechless.
"Tch, I didn't tell you earlier..." After hearing this, the two naked men said as if they were being pardoned: "It's so cold..."
"That's right, it's almost September and it's hard to bear the cold. Get some clothes quickly!"
The palace maid then brought clothes for the two highnesses. The sixth child was still wearing his navy blue dragon robe, but the fourth child's dress was changed into an ocher red casual robe.
The smile on the fourth child's face couldn't help but feel a little unnatural. Some things may be taken for granted, but once they are lost, they will feel uncomfortable.
The atmosphere in the palace was a little stagnant.
"Give me a change of plain robe!" Although the sixth brother looks like a bear, in front of the eldest brother and the fourth brother, he is just a pug. "Before the fourth brother puts on the royal robe, I won't wear it either."
!”
"Lao Liu, don't be ridiculous." The fourth brother glared at him, but he felt very at ease in his heart.
The prince waved his hand, and as soon as he answered the palace guests, he left silently.
"Alas..." The prince then patted the fourth child on the shoulder and said in a harsh voice: "I've wronged you, the fourth child."
"What did eldest brother say?" Zhu Di hurriedly shook his head and said with a forced smile: "I asked for this all on my own. Besides, your father and eldest brother must have made this arrangement."
"It makes sense." The prince nodded and decided to tell him everything, otherwise he was really afraid that the fourth child would get sick from holding it in. "Let's put it this way, my father used you to replace seven of them."
"Those seven Hou'er?" Lao Si's eyes lit up and he asked.
"Yes, those seven princes." The prince nodded and said in a low voice:
"In fact, everyone knows what happened this time. It was the father's will to let you arrange the details. So from the beginning, they were going for the father. You are just taking it on my father's behalf... But the premise is
If you don't hit that shot, if you hit that shot, the nature will completely change."
"That's impossible. If I didn't take that shot, I would be suffocated to death." Lao Si smiled and said, "After that shot, my thoughts became clearer."
"Yes, what we brothers live is to have clear thoughts." Lao Liu said in an awkward manner: "You are already a prince and you still have to compromise. It's too low-priced."
"Shut up." The boss glared at Lao Liu, who was worried about the world being in chaos. Then he said to Lao Si:
"Let's talk behind closed doors afterwards. This matter is actually quite difficult... The day before the showdown at the court meeting, Hu Weiyong revealed to me through Wu Zhuangyuan that they planned to resign collectively because they could not accept being monitored by the court."
"Is there such a thing?" The fourth child was shocked when he heard this.
"It's just making cards out of thin air." Lao Liu said with rich experience: "Didn't they also resign in the end? They just told Father that they have a trump card, and if they don't know it, we will play it."
"It's really..." the boss praised: "Don't look at Lao Liu, he is born to play with power."
"Am I the only one still playing tricks of power?" Lao Liu said with a naive smile, "I've just seen too much, and I'm just picking off people's wisdom."
"You are quite humble." The prince laughed, and then said to the fourth child: "This card kills one thousand enemies and damages three thousand. They will not play it unless it is absolutely necessary. But we must consider it.
Going in, if we don't take into account the existence of this card, it will actually inspire it to be played."
"That's it..." The fourth child seemed to understand, but he didn't dig into it. Firstly, he was so proud of it, and secondly, if he didn't understand, he could go back and discuss it with his Miaoyun.
"Even though my father says it doesn't matter, we still have to try our best to prevent all officials from resigning unless they have to. That would be too ugly, and it would also be a heavy blow to the court's prestige... Maybe they themselves are not aware of this.
If it becomes a regular practice, it will be a powerful weapon for ministers to fight against the king in the future."
"So this case cannot be opened." The prince said solemnly. He did not tell his two younger brothers how much talk he had to spend to convince his old father not to lift the table.
"Actually, it won't be fatal if civil servants make trouble, but it's different if military generals make trouble. Especially those uncles, whose best skill is rebellion." Zhu Biao said in a low voice:
"So not only my father, but also I will never tolerate them causing trouble - let me tell you a secret, please don't spread it outside. My father and I have unanimously decided that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion must be split up, and they can no longer be allowed to form a joint force. But
One can imagine the resistance to the split, and these princes are the first to bear the brunt!"
"Yes." The sixth and fourth elders nodded. Although there were six other princes above the marquis, Duke Han was a civil servant. Duke Wei and Duke Xin were children who grew up naked with their father.
Cao Guogong is the cousin raised by his father. Even Song Guogong has become Lao Wu's father-in-law. A serious royal relative, it is not easy to openly oppose his father.
Moreover, the Duke's status was aloof and he would generally not seek refuge with Hu Weiyong.
Of course, there are other situations. For example, the son of King Kaiping, Duke of Zheng Chang Mao, had close contact with Hu Weiyong. However, Chang Mao was too young, arrogant and ignorant, and was not trusted by the soldiers, so it was not a cause for concern.
Therefore, the marquis in Beijing became the biggest resistance to the split of the Metropolitan Governor's Palace, because they were also the ones in charge of the army in the Metropolitan Governor's Palace.
