Princess Sun looked at her quietly, her eyes flushed, "Don't say that, I feel uncomfortable."
"Why exactly?"
Yuan Qingling asked.
Princess Sun smiled bitterly, "How do I know?
But one day your second brother suddenly said that we should not treat you as before, and we must abide by the etiquette of monarchs and ministers. Otherwise, once Lao Wu ascends the throne, he may be afraid that we have other thoughts, and then..." "Then..."
Will they kill each other?"
Yuan Qingling was really angry, "Is this how you look at Lao Wu?
The second brother's words are really hard to complain about. Do you think he has other thoughts because he is thinking about the throne?
He really thinks highly of himself."
Princess Sun looked at him blankly, "What you said... is really true. I thought what he said was a bit ridiculous. He has nothing important to do in his life except eating, so who would suspect that he cares about the throne?
Now he is working as an errand at Honglu Temple, and most of the time he relies on the people under him to do things. He himself is free all day long, just holding a sinecure."
"Why did he say that suddenly?"
Yuan Qingling asked.
Before Princess Sun could answer, she heard that Yuan Yongyi and Ah Si were here. After a while, Aunt Fu'er led the sisters in. Yuan Yongyi came in a hurry, her makeup was not repaired, and her clothes were still stained by her sister's stains.
.
Ah Si had already made it clear to her. She knew that Lao Qi had said such words to the prince, and she was angry in her heart, so she hurried over. As soon as she sat down, she didn't ask why and said, "Lao Qi has been confused recently.
I'm crazy. Ever since I had a few drinks with the Crown Prince, I have been worrying about gains and losses. I have always said that I should avoid the Crown Prince's sharp edge and be more cautious in the future. I don't even care about the friendship between brothers."
When Yuan Yongyi said this, Princess Sun also snorted, "Lao Qi also had wine with the prince?
Your second brother has been having drinks with the prince recently, and he is very talkative when he comes back after drinking. Could it be that the prince said something to them?"
Prince Pingnan?
Yuan Qingling frowned. In fact, when she met Prince Pingnan for the first time, she always felt that he was a bit gloomy. Although he acted humble and polite, he did not make people feel friendly.
Ordinarily, in the fiefdom, Prince Pingnan has such a temper, and most of the things are taken care of by the prince. He should have shown particularly strong communication skills, but after coming to the capital, there were not many activities, and he only visited privately.
Lao Qi and his second brother were drinking. Although I don’t know what they said to them, they changed their attitudes after drinking. This really made people suspicious.
The sisters-in-law and others talked for a while, and when it was getting dark, Yuan Qingling returned.
After returning home, he informed Yu Wenhao. Yu Wenhao simply invited the two of them to come over, and also called King Huai, because he didn't know whether Prince Pingnan had visited King Huai. Yu Wenhao thought that if there was a rift between the brothers,
You should sit down and talk carefully and explain clearly.
King Huai was accompanied by Rong Yue. The couple arrived first. After asking about it, they found that Prince Pingnan had also invited King Huai. However, Rong Yue was careful. Drinking was fine, but it had to be at Prince Huai's palace.
Rong Yue paid close attention to her husband. Her husband was not in good health. If he went out and drank too much without restraint, he would be harmed. With this family motto, Prince Pingnan would not come either. Therefore, Prince Huai
He has never had any personal contact with Prince Pingnan.
The four brothers were drinking in a side hall. Yu Wenhao went straight to the point and looked at Sun Wang first to apologize, "Second brother, last time I came to see you, you probably wanted to keep me for dinner, but at that time I was in a hurry and didn't care.
How you feel, don’t be angry with me, I’ll give you a toast and this matter will be over, okay?”
King Sun slowly picked up the wine glass and glared at King Qi fiercely, what a big mouth! He drank the glass of wine, but he seemed a little reserved.
Yu Wenhao glanced at them. Except for Lao Liu, who looked at ease, the other two seemed to have their own concerns. Yu Wenhao simply said: "Okay, tell me if you have any misunderstandings. Second brother, Lao Qi, why did you suddenly
Are you separated from me?"
"It's nothing, don't listen to Lao Qi's nonsense!"
Sun Wang hurriedly explained. After explaining, he looked back and said, "Why haven't you served the food yet?"
"Let's finish talking first. After that, the food will be served. Tonight, Lao Yuan specially asked Grandma Xi to cook in person and prepare some exquisite side dishes for you. You can eat them after you finish speaking. Before you finish speaking, you will continue to pour wine."
Yu Wenhao said.
King Sun put down his wine glass and looked at him, "Second brother, I'm not feuding with you. I just feel that sometimes the rules still have to be observed. If you don't observe them now, why don't you wait until you ascend the throne to observe them again?"
Yu Wenhao was extremely angry, "What rules?
What ascends the throne?
Now that my father is in his prime, there is a chance that I will die before him."
"What are you talking nonsense about?"
King Sun swept him over with a helpless slap and stared at him, "Don't you know it's bad luck?
Nonsense.”
Yu Wenhao dodged, "Isn't it?
Didn’t the boss die earlier than his father?
You are so angry with me, how long can I live if I am angry every day?"
After breathing some air, the brothers were able to talk properly.
Only then did Yu Wenhao learn that King Pingnan had invited them out for drinks several times, and two or three times on the same day. Even if he invited King Sun first and later with Lao Qi, they all said the same thing.
He said that now there are people arranged by the prince in his palace, and their every word and deed in the palace will be reported to the prince every day.
Moreover, Prince Pingnan cited examples of imperial disputes in the past dynasties. Only at the beginning, with the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, can people clear up their doubts, and let them not be too sharp, and leave the business to the people below.
He would do some unimportant things himself, so King Qi used to be considered a relatively capable person in Jingzhao Mansion, but suddenly now he only paid attention to some small things and ran away several times for Di Zhongliang.
Yu Wenhao was angry when he heard this, "You believe it when he says that?"
King Qi murmured: "I drank too much, and I said these words several times, which always makes people feel hairy. Now I am no better than when I was alone. Without the princess, I have sisters. I have to do it for them."
think about it."
King Sun thought the same way. Anyway, he had no intention of becoming emperor. Even if people knew that he was doing nothing, it would not matter, he would just go about his life.
"In addition to telling you this, what else should I tell you?
Is there anything you are asked to do?"
Yu Wenhao asked.
King Sun and King Qi said in unison: "Resign!"
Yu Wenhao and King Huai looked at each other, both looking a little surprised.
Resign?
Yu Wenhao was puzzled. He had some doubts about Prince Pingnan at first, but he was not sure why he asked them to resign. Lao Qi was the Prime Minister of Jingzhao Mansion. Once he resigned, he would either
When people are promoted in Jingzhao Mansion, the staff will make other arrangements.
He has the final say in the promotion of people in Jingzhao Mansion. Is there anything fishy with the staff?
As for Honglu Temple, because it was in charge of major affairs such as diplomacy, foreign guests, and national sacrifices... Yu Wenhao felt that a net was gradually torn open, and he suddenly became excited, and immediately sent someone out.
