There are constant storms in Beijing, and the adults in the court will be involved actively or passively whether they are willing or not. From high-ranking officials to low-ranking officials, almost no one is spared.
However, amidst the strong wind and waves, there is also a peaceful harbor like a mirror lake, and that is the residence of His Highness the Fourth Prince.
Ever since they had a debate with the seventh prince in the court centered on the "position of the prince", both of them came into the emperor's sight, and then their influence was not surprising.
Side attack.
This kind of blow includes gloating about adding insult to injury, and also includes suppression from the emperor himself. But if we really want to talk about it, His Highness the Fourth Prince did not suffer much damage in this round.
Unlike His Majesty Seventh, who has cultivated many wings in the court, His Majesty Four has almost no courtiers behind him except his mother clan. The only force he can bring to bear is actually those Jianghu knights who were accidentally wiped out by the Jin Yiwei.
.
So when he and His Majesty the Seventh Prince made His Majesty the Emperor angry, his good Seventh Brother really hurt the enemy a thousand times, but he himself didn't hurt himself eight hundred. After all, he didn't have that kind of power to suppress others.
.
As the first prince to have a conflict with the Jin Yiwei, His Highness the Fourth Prince's power was beaten to pieces from the beginning. And after Xi Qiu disappeared inexplicably, His Highness the Fourth Prince was so pitiful that he didn't even have anyone around him to make suggestions.
But on this day, His Royal Highness, who had nothing to do and was fighting crickets at home, received an unexpected guest.
"Sixth brother? Hey, you're such a rare visitor, why do you have time to come see me?"
The fourth prince was full of curiosity and invited the uninvited sixth prince to take a seat. Although they were brothers, his interaction with the sixth prince was very limited. Generally speaking, he had tried to win over the other prince, but unfortunately the other prince refused.
Although from the perspective of the arrogant Fourth Prince, it was because his Sixth Prince was too timid to get involved in such important matters, so he refused, but in the eyes of outsiders, His Highness the Sixth Prince did not look down on the Fourth Prince at all.
.
The sixth prince's dislike for the fourth prince was not noticed by just one or two people, but the fourth prince himself was not aware of it.
It's just that the sixth prince came to visit today, but he didn't come to ridicule him. When he came up, he saw that the fourth prince was still enthusiastic about him. While he was smiling on his face, he couldn't hide his contempt in his heart.
After he looked around the fourth prince's deserted but still luxurious mansion, a lot of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
Although the fourth prince is not very smart, his mother clan is really quite powerful. Although it is hard to say how many talents and how much power they have, they definitely have enough money.
In the past few years, the fourth prince was able to gain a good reputation as a philanthropist in the world, and a large group of knights from the world were working for him in the capital at the risk of being taken over by the royal guards. All of this was indispensable because of money.
The Sixth Prince is different. Although he has carefully accumulated a lot of power, and many people in the court are optimistic about him, these are all obtained by his hard work and the hard work of Corporal Li Xian.
Compared to the fourth prince who had gathered a large number of helpers just by spreading money and still lived so carefree even after his power suffered a devastating blow, the sixth prince was very unconvinced.
Among the six princes alive today, the rest are more or less outstanding, and they all relied on their own abilities to recruit talents, but the fourth prince relied on money from beginning to end.
But it happened that he was just such a idiot. In the early years, he was able to easily crush the Sixth Prince by relying on the power accumulated by these yellow and white things.
Although the opponent was now defeated and dispersed, the sixth prince still suppressed the urge to add insult to injury. For him, the stupid fourth brother in front of him was still useful.
"You are worthy of being the fourth brother. My younger brother should know that some troubles can't help you. Seeing that the fourth brother is still as elegant as ever, you will know how a mere Jin Yiwei and his like can make things difficult for you." The sixth prince smiled and praised, but his words were revealing.
Dislike.
However, the fourth prince probably didn't hear it. He said proudly: "That's right. It's just a loss of a group of people. I hope I can naturally recruit another group."
You are so stubborn - the sixth prince cursed in his heart, but continued to compliment him on his face: "What the fourth brother said is that the younger brother just came out of the seventh brother's house, and now he is drunk and dreaming every day, and I am afraid he has become a useless person.
"
"Huh? Lao Qi, he actually...hahaha! Okay!"
The fourth prince became more energetic and said excitedly: "Let this brat go against me! He deserves it!"
The Sixth Prince looked at His Highness the Fourth Highness smiling at fifty steps and laughing at a hundred steps. He felt more and more contempt in his heart, but he still held back on his face. He smiled and said: "What the Fourth Brother said is that the Seventh Brother is indeed unworthy, so today the younger brother is here.
I just want to ask Fourth Brother, has Fourth Brother ever forgotten the humiliation of Jinyiwei back then?"
"Of course not!"
The fourth prince put away the smile on his face and snorted coldly: "They are just a group of villains who were favored by their father and got to the throne. How dare they insult me? When I ascend to the throne, I will definitely
Make them look good!"
"..." The corners of the Sixth Prince's mouth twitched fiercely. He had never expected that his good fourth brother would still be thinking about the throne after he had gotten to this point.
But this is fine, if the other party is also in the same mess as his seventh brother, then his trip today will really be in vain.
The sixth prince coughed, and his face also became angry. He said indignantly: "Fourth brother is right! These Jin Yiwei guards have no idea what the heaven and earth are. They even directly tied up the young master of the Wen family a few days ago. They are really outrageous!"
"Is this happening?"
The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "God is really helping me. I have been thinking about how to win over the commander-in-chief for my use. Unfortunately, that old guy is too incompetent. Now his son has been taken away by the Jin Yiwei. I
If we could rescue him, wouldn't it be a great honor to him?"
The Sixth Prince curled his lips, as if he looked down upon him, but His Highness the Fourth Prince did not see his expression, and was still immersed in the joy of this great opportunity.
"Ahem," the sixth prince coughed twice, interrupting the other party's fantasy, and then added: "Fourth brother, my younger brother thinks so too, but my younger brother is soft-spoken and not as powerful as you, fourth brother, so this matter,
It would be better for you, fourth brother, to come forward."
"Well, what I'm saying is that the Sixth Brother's mother's family is indeed unworthy, especially that uncle of yours. The autumn wind actually hit my land. If it wasn't for your sake, Sixth Brother, I would have been killed long ago.
Throw him out." The fourth prince said rather disdainfully.
The sixth prince's fists were clenched. He resisted not showing his hatred, but responded in a low voice: "This is my brother's fault. Don't worry, fourth brother. The money my uncle owes will be replenished immediately after my brother returns."
you."
"No need," the fourth prince waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's only a few tens of thousands of taels of silver, so I will treat it like a beggar."
The sixth prince, who wanted to refuse outright, finally lost his temper. Tens of thousands of taels of silver were like a huge mountain that weighed down his pride.
Out of sight of the fourth prince, the sixth prince's eyes were red. He lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, fourth brother."
