Except for those noble ladies who were ignorant of the world, all the old foxes present understood the implication of the eldest prince's words, and even more understood the ambition of the fifth prince to win people's hearts and compete for the position of crown prince.
"Whether you are qualified or not is the final decision for your father, not for you, a little prince, to discuss!" The fifth prince did not back down at all. Instead, he ridiculed the eldest prince for being demoted as prince because of Liu Zijie's incident.
"you!"
Another little prince, Yuwen Yao, just pretended that he heard nothing, looked at them coldly, and sat silently in his seat, pouring himself a drink.
…
Naturally, the excitement here could not be concealed from the emperor who was in the camp. In fact, this was a situation brought about by the emperor himself. His original intention was to conduct further inspections of these princes.
When the emperor listened to Gong An's detailed report, his brows furrowed more and more tightly, feeling a little disappointed with the performance of the two princes.
The boss couldn't keep his temper, and he couldn't get angry in front of the public, so he induced the fifth boss to list the holy masters for comment.
And Lao Wu is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He is proud, complacent and self-satisfied. He is a prince who is courteous on the outside but sinister on the inside, and only pays attention to superficial skills.
"The behavior of the staff around the eldest prince is a bit unusual. Please send someone to keep a close eye on him." The emperor still knew a little about his son. He had a fair amount of force, but his brain was not that flexible.
"Your Majesty is really good at predicting things. After the banquet over there, I saw him sneaking into contact with people. He was afraid of getting too close and alerting others. He still hadn't found out which force the other party belonged to." Eunuch An flattered him at the right time.
"As expected, what a plan to kill two birds with one stone! I didn't know there was such a scheming person among them!"
The emperor's face was covered with frost. Although he was a little disappointed with the boss and the fifth, he hated the villainous behavior of the people behind him even more. How could a person without the overall situation be able to sit in that position.
"Go there in person and warn the eldest prince about his nonsense and disrupting the government. If anyone opens his mouth to help, he will be punished for the same crime and he will not be leniently punished!"
"Yes, I have received the order!" Although Gonggong An didn't understand what the emperor meant by this move, he immediately accepted the order and retreated.
After Eunuch An left, the emperor was the only one in the tent. His spirit seemed to collapse immediately and he let out a long sigh.
His original favorite was the fifth prince. When the Yongchang Hou case first started, he admired him very much for recovering the stolen money from the Ministry of Revenue and filling the national treasury. However, what he did next made him feel disappointed for the first time. He couldn't wait to install his own people.
He didn't even ask about it, his father.
In fact, Mr. Wang Ge had advised the fifth prince, but at that time the fifth prince was knocked unconscious by the unexpected pie and could not listen to the advice at all.
…
The emperor's oral instructions to the eldest prince soon spread throughout all the camps.
The eldest prince's camp was noisy for half the night, and the staff member was almost killed on the spot.
At this time, the fifth prince was immersed in the dream of superficial victory, thinking that he was sure of victory. Even the ministers who originally supported the eldest prince were a little shaken. The emperor's performance in recent times was too obvious.
Yu Wenyao frowned when he heard the news. He originally thought that his father would play fifty games each, but he didn't expect this to be the result.
As everyone knows, in reality, the silent punishment is often the most serious punishment.
This night was uneventful, but many people had no intention of falling asleep and stayed sleepless all night. Of course, this did not include Xiao Wenjun.
On the second day of the Autumn Festival, the eldest prince's performance was obviously not as good as yesterday, but there was still a small gain. However, the fifth prince's side was unstoppable, and new results continued to be reported.
After a night's rest, the emperor seemed to have forgotten yesterday's unhappiness. He was a little itchy to hear the good news that came frequently, and wanted to go out and give it a try himself.
The emperor sat on a tall horse, waved his hand and said proudly: "My lords, let me see if your skills are still as good as before?"
The veterans behind him could no longer hold themselves back. They agreed repeatedly, raised their whips, and ran towards the paddock quickly.
But Eunuch An shook his head and smiled bitterly. He tried to persuade the emperor for a long time, and even though he was done talking, he still couldn't get rid of His Majesty.
Next to him, Yu Wenyao comforted him with a warm voice: "Don't worry too much, Mr. An. The Guards and the Forbidden Army have patrolled several times. All large wild animals in the paddock have been driven away. I and Princess Lanling will also protect my father."
, nothing will happen."
Hearing this, Mr. An had no choice but to nod. He couldn't ride a horse, so he could only wait here dryly and saluted, "Well, thank you for your trouble, Your Highness."
Yu Wenyao nodded and chased after him.
When he first caught up with him, the emperor happened to shoot and kill a fleeing fox. The fox was all white, and its fur was made into a cloak that was most suitable for women, so he rewarded it to Xiao Wenjun.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Xiao Wenjun smiled with eyes like crescent moons, looking like an innocent and ignorant daughter.
Seeing this scene, Yu Wenyao felt a ripple in his heart. This woman who had harmed him time and time again, was so ruthless in her life, could she still have such a side?
It wasn't until there was a circle of rainbow farts all around that Yu Wenyao came back to his senses and silently followed the emperor. The emperor saw him and nodded as a greeting.
As the hunting progressed, everyone gradually dispersed following their favorite prey. Only the two accompanying Forbidden Soldiers and Xiao Wenjun and Yu Wenyao were left with the emperor. One of the Forbidden Soldiers was also responsible for picking up the prey.
The accident happened at this moment!
"Father, be careful!"
Suddenly, a huge roar was heard, and the front hooves of the horses under the crotches of several people knelt down. The emperor's sweaty horse was in a slightly better condition, but it could not stop trembling.
Xiao Wenjun thought to himself: Here we come!
"Hasn't the site been cleaned up? Why is there still a tiger here?"
"There must be something wrong with the Arch Guard Department. Commander Zeng personally led people to inspect our defense."
The two Imperial Guards actually started blaming each other at this time.
"Shut up, everyone!" The emperor marked Zeng in his heart at this time.
In the blink of an eye, I felt the earth tremble. A black and yellow tiger ran towards me, but suddenly stopped ten feet away from the emperor and others. It opened its bloody mouth, and there were still marks on its teeth like steel needles.
There were traces of blood, like a demonstration.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There was only one tiger. With the few of them, there would be no problem. However, before they could finish rejoicing, the other two tigers had already rushed over and surrounded them. It turned out that they were waiting for reinforcements!
Seeing this, the two Imperial Guards were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies shook like chaff. A trace of doubt flashed in the emperor's eyes. Tigers usually live alone, so how could they fight in groups? Judging from their performance just now, it seems that they have
human wisdom.
Xiao Wenjun, however, clenched the bow and arrow in her hand. She had not participated in this hunting in her previous life, and the information afterwards was blocked. I am afraid that no one except these people will know the truth.
