The first thousand and seventy-fifth chapters are promoted again
The prince frowned and pondered, heading north? Why? Prince Gong doesn't want a fiefdom, where can he go? A fiefdom is his foundation, and he won't go to a fiefdom unless he has already made arrangements in other states.
Suddenly, he slapped the armrest of the armchair, bad!
"He is going to the border!" The prince was shocked. The border is not peaceful now. If Prince Gong's foundation is in the border, it will be difficult.
"What? Your Highness! How could he go to the border gate?" Shen Shikang was a little shocked. He looked at the prince in disbelief. When did Prince Gong quietly establish a relationship with the border gate?
"Go and invite Prince Jing to come over and say that I have important matters to discuss!" The prince's face was very ugly, and his eyes were full of anger.
After all, the border is still in chaos, and there must be a traitor. Sending Gu Chengyu to the border is an act of superiority.
When Prince Jing hurried to the East Palace, there was silence in the East Palace. Although there were many people, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
"Fourth Brother, have you ever heard anything unusual in the nearby state capitals in the past two years?" Fengqing Mansion is the city closest to the border. If there is any trouble, Fengqing Mansion will definitely hear it. .
"I wonder what abnormality the second brother is talking about?" Prince Jing's eyes flashed slightly, a little confused.
"Prince Gong left the capital and did not return to Jingyuan Mansion, but went all the way north." The prince stared at Prince Jing closely. He knew that the fourth child was a man and did not dare to let go of any expression on Prince Jing's face.
Prince Jing's eyes widened in surprise. He was a smart man and of course he could understand what the prince meant.
Is Zhao Xian actually going to the border? When did Zhao Xian make arrangements at the border?
Wait, he suddenly remembered that he had found out that a caravan often went to Daxing to buy horses, saying that they were buying horses for Dayan's army.
He also asked people to check carefully, but there were no problems with the official documents produced by the other party and the accompanying officials. Moreover, he also asked people to come to the capital to check several times, and it was found that the horses were indeed supplied to Dayan's army and the nobles of the capital's aristocratic families.
No matter how doubtful he was, after finding nothing wrong, he had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.
And this caravan will purchase a batch of military supplies every three months.
He was careless, and he didn't expect that Prince Gong had a way to pass these things through the court, and finally returned to the border.
He also remembered that in the past two years, there have been many slave trades at the border. He had checked this before. They were all young and handsome boys, because Daxing and good men were popular.
Now that I think about it, these people must not have been simply bought to serve their masters.
Even though his heart was filled with turmoil and he even hated himself for being careless, Prince Jing didn't show any signs of it on his face.
He shook his head, "In the past two years, my life in the fiefdom has been difficult. I deal with local snakes every day, and I have no energy to pay attention to the affairs of other state capitals, so I haven't heard any news."
As soon as he said these words, many ministers in the palace turned their eyes to him, and some officials even cast sympathetic glances. Speaking of which, the fiefdom of Prince Jing was indeed very poor and full of troubles.
The ministers believed Prince Jing's true and false words. However, the prince knew the character of Prince Jing well and refused to believe it easily.
"Fourth brother, think about it carefully. With your intelligence and wisdom, you don't need to say anything for me. You should know the seriousness of this matter. If the border is in chaos and Daxing takes advantage of the chaos, our Dayan will be in trouble. At present, foreign enemies are still in trouble. Fourth brother, please put the overall situation first, and there will be no eggs left unbroken when the nest is overturned!"
The prince cast a sharp gaze over him. He hoped that in the face of foreign enemies, the fourth child could put aside those petty thoughts that were not on the table and defend himself against the foreign enemies first.
There was silence in the hall. Prince Jing pondered for a moment and then shook his head, "Second brother, you also know that my body is weak and I spend more than half of the year lingering on the sick bed. How can I have the energy to take care of this? Second brother, don't you?
Did you send Gu Shaoqing to the border to investigate the case? It would be better to hand this matter over to Gu Shaoqing for verification, I believe he will give the second brother a satisfactory answer."
Prince Jing's Fengqing Mansion is closest to the border, and the city deployed by Prince Gong must not be far from the border. If a war breaks out, his Fengqing Mansion is also in danger of falling.
Although he had made proper arrangements before going out, who calls him poor? He only made a little more money last year, otherwise he would not even be able to repair his mansion.
But he just started taking action after calling, how can he compare to the boss who has been in business for many years and has a lot of money?
Prince Jing felt that this was a difficult matter, but he was still in the capital at the moment. Before the prince ascended the throne, his father had passed the 27-day period of filial piety, and he would not be able to return to his fiefdom.
Prince Jing has never wanted to return to the fiefdom so strongly. He finally managed to straighten out the affairs of the fiefdom. If Prince Gong had a hand in it, wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain?
Suddenly I remembered Gu Chengyu who was heading to the border. Since the boss is also heading north, will he run into Gu Chengyu?
No! These two people can't get together, otherwise it will be more difficult to deal with.
The prince frowned and glanced at Prince Jing, thinking that this was the best way. However, he thought that Gu Chengyu should have set out this morning, and if he met Prince Gong, the consequences would be disastrous.
Prince Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, "Second brother! As an official of Dali Temple, there is nothing wrong with Gu Shaoqing going to the border to investigate the case. It's just that the eldest brother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so this matter is really difficult to handle. In the past few times, Gu Shaoqing has done a lot of practical things for the court, but...
If the eldest brother upgrades Gu Chengyu's grade, things will go more smoothly."
Prince Jing did not want Gu Chengyu to form an alliance with Prince Gong, so he wanted to use his official position to trap Gu Chengyu. As long as the prince upgraded Gu Chengyu's rank, Gu Chengyu would not hesitate to join Prince Gong's camp.
Furthermore, these courtiers had limited abilities, but they could not see the speed of Gu Chengyu's promotion and were jealous of his abilities.
If the prince really upgrades Gu Chengyu, these courtiers will definitely be more dissatisfied with Gu Chengyu, and they will also have some complaints against the prince in their hearts. They will only exclude Gu Chengyu even more in the future.
The prince is also soft-spoken and Gu Chengyu is not in the capital. If the prince hears too much, he will become suspicious of Gu Chengyu. If the prince does not trust Gu Chengyu, then the distance between Gu Chengyu and the prince will only become more and more distant.
It was just time for Gu Chengyu to see whether he was right or wrong in choosing the prince.
When word of this incident spread, he suggested that Gu Chengyu be promoted, which was considered as selling Gu Chengyu a favor. This was simply killing three birds with one stone!
Showing off power has become a habit for Prince Jing. He doesn't think there's anything wrong with plotting against Gu Chengyu. Who in this dynasty doesn't plot against anyone?
Take Yin Kun, the senior brother who has a good relationship with Gu Chengyu, for example. Doesn’t the other party have a plan? It’s just that there is some sincerity mixed in that plan!
"Prince Jing! Gu Shaoqing has only been promoted for a few months, and he needs to be upgraded again. Do you think it is justified? There are many hard-working officials in our court, so how do they get along with themselves? If they are resentful, what will happen to the court?
