Chapter 372 Mission Zero Three Five
As time passed, Emperor Cheng'an attached more and more importance to the third princess. Later, he opened the princess's mansion outside the palace under the rules of the princess, and allowed the third princess to recruit guests and staff to interfere in the court affairs.
At this time, many sensible people had already seen that Emperor Cheng'an was deliberately cultivating the third princess, and there were many people who were surrounded by them. The gate of the princess's mansion was full of traffic, which was even more lively than the mansions of the other princes.
After Xiao Ying was allowed to open the mansion by Emperor Cheng'an, the princes who had never taken him seriously all regarded him as great enemies and began to join forces to suppress him.
However, these young boys in their teens and twenty years old could not hide the plot against Emperor Cheng'an, let alone how long Xiao Ying had lived. He easily resolved the princes' difficulties to him without any trace, and in order to take into account Emperor Cheng'an's views, he did not revenge on these princes.
According to his speculation, Emperor Cheng'an was willing to give up the group of princes to train him, the "princess" as his heir. First, because he has outstanding talents, far exceeding his brothers. Emperor Cheng'an was worried that they would not be able to defend the throne to his son in the future, and it might make his relatives turn against each other; second, because the princes had extremely vicious methods in the fight, regardless of brotherhood or peace in the people.
The eldest prince had no ability in politics and only knew that he could rely on marrying women from a good family to win over the court officials and families to sway flags and shout for him. In fact, his backyard had already caught fire and was in a mess. The emperor's grandson died several times because of the secrets of the backyard. He could not even manage the backyard well, so he could still expect him to manage a country?
The second prince is a little transparent. When others ask him about the court, he will say timidly, "You are right and make sense." But if you ask him specifically, you can't even give up any opinions. If such a cowardly prince becomes the emperor, he is probably also a puppet of his subjects.
The third prince was selfish and vicious. In order to defeat the eldest prince, when Emperor Cheng'an sent the eldest prince to provide disaster relief, he sent people to rob the disaster relief funds regardless of the lives of countless people, and then he made a show to retrieve the disaster relief funds to gain reputation. But after his delay, more than 100,000 people died of the disaster. How could Emperor Cheng'an, who had always loved the people as much as his son, endure his nature of treating human life like a grass?
The fourth prince is in a normal and stable manner, not outstanding or incompetent, he is a mediocre person, but compared with the other princes, his ability is very good. However, the fourth prince learned a lot of private plots from Shufei, and he has been provoking many brothers to fight in the backyard. He is also a little jealous and holds grudges, and he will take revenge. Emperor Cheng'an also looks down on him and thinks that if the fourth prince ascended the throne and becomes the emperor, he is afraid that none of his brothers will have a good end.
There were too few sons, and they didn’t like anyone who picked them all. The more Emperor Cheng’an thought about it, the more he was a pity that the three women were not men. The more outstanding the three women saw, the more he felt that the few sons were too useless.
But he was an enlightened and rational emperor after all. Emperor Cheng'an still trained his third daughter as his heir and began to pave the way for her.
Xiao Rong has been with Emperor Cheng'an for so many years and has guessed his thoughts thoroughly, so it is impossible for him to attack him because several princes jointly suppress him.
Moreover, the four useless snacks were not necessary for him to be afraid of, so he could pass them away casually.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Emperor Cheng'an of Xuanyi Palace knew that Xiao Rong had a rare smile on his face when facing the joint suppression of his brothers, and sent people to reward countless treasures to the Third Princess' Mansion.
At the same time, the fourth prince came to the palace to pay tribute to Concubine Shu, complaining to Concubine Shu with heartbroken complaints Xiao Ying: "What does third sister mean? She, a girl, actually wants to argue with my brother? If she was willing to assist me, I would have been favored by my father and would have been made the crown prince long ago! Mother, please advise the third sister to be her princess. When her son ascended the throne, you will be the queen mother and she will also become the glorious eldest princess!"
Concubine Shu was feeling bitter in her heart. The fourth prince didn't know the inside story. How could she not know? The third princess, it was clearly the fifth prince! Her youngest son was getting more and more sharp. Even if he did not reveal his identity as a prince, even if he could still be favored by the emperor as an unfavorable princess, he might be awarded the title of crown prince.
Thinking of the youngest son's distantness to him in the past two years, Shufei looked at the eldest son who only knew how to complain, and Shufei felt very regretful. If she had known that her younger son was so much better than her older son, why wouldn't she let her eldest son be a princess in a dress? She would avoid being in a dilemma now.
However, the idea that the son is the heir in this world is deeply rooted in Concubine Shu's heart. She was worried that Emperor Cheng'an is just using his younger son as a guise and did not really want to pass the throne to a "princess", so Concubine Shu felt that it would be more appropriate for her eldest son to compete for the throne. So at the plea of the fourth prince, she agreed to persuade Xiao Sheng.
Xiao Ying, who was betrothed by Concubine Shu, was now meeting Tu Zhen, a company in Qi State, in his princess's mansion.
Situ Zhen was sent to Pingxi Prefecture by Emperor Cheng'an to be a small prefect, but in fact he gave him secret missions privately. So Situ Zhen, who had been planting trees and afforestation in Pingxi Prefecture, was summoned back to the capital by Emperor Cheng'an after the wind and sand control was effective. At the same time, Situ Zhen also showed evidence that the people were extravagant and afflicted with the Hu people, allowing Emperor Cheng'an to justify the title of Pingxi Prince, the king of Pingxi Prince.
Situ Zhen, who had a prince, was very afraid of others in the court, but later, under the hint of Emperor Cheng'an, he joined Xiao Ying's command.
When Xiao Ying surrendered by the male protagonist Situ Zhen, he was a little confused. He originally planned to suppress the male protagonist, or wait for the throne to be the throne in the future, but he didn't expect that the male protagonist would come to serve him!
However, the effect of the referendum of Qi State can indeed bring about a good advertising effect. Xiao Ying felt that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, so he accepted the person.
In fact, if you don’t use the deeds in the original work to look at the male protagonist, Xiao Ying feels that Situ Zhen, who is clean and unruly in trouble with men and women, is really a very useful subordinate!
But he was an ordinary male protagonist in a low-level world and became his subordinate again. Xiao Ying no longer held on to him to do what he did to the original owner in the plot. Anyway, the original owner did not ask him to help take revenge on the male protagonist.
Xiao Ying was meeting Situ Zhen and listening to his report on his recent work situation. At this time, Emperor Cheng'an's reward was received and Concubine Shu's summoning came.
After seeing off the palace servants from Xuanyi Palace and Chaohua Palace, Xiao Ying pondered slightly.
Situ Zhen said: "Your Highness, Empress Shu Concubine wants to see you, but it is probably related to the fact that the Fourth Prince entered the palace to pay homage to Empress Shu Concubine today."
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Xiao Rong didn't know what Concubine Shu was planning again, but he still entered the palace.
He first went to the palace to Xuanyi Palace to pay his respects to Emperor Cheng'an, and then chatted with his old father for a few words and then offered his farewell: "Father, my mother summoned me specifically today, but I'm afraid there is something important."
Emperor Cheng'an had a deep control over the palace, so he naturally knew that Concubine Shu summoned Xiao Ying because of the fourth prince, so he could guess what it was for.
However, he believed that Xiao Ying could handle these small matters well, so he nodded.
Xiao Ying came to Chaohua Palace and saw Concubine Shu, just like when he had just traveled to Xiao Han for the first time, the mother and son were talking alone.
Concubine Shu hesitated for a while and asked, "Your father treats you very well now, don't forget your brother. Talk to your brother more in front of His Majesty. If you have such a day in the future, won't you be happy? You can still restore your original identity..."
Xiao Ying interrupted her whimsical words: "Is the mother joking? I look so similar to my fourth brother. If he knew my identity, he would probably be the first to die."
Concubine Shu's face turned pale and she couldn't speak.
Xiao Ying smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry about my fourth brother and me. Now my father intends to train me to be the crown princess. In the future, the mother will be the empress dowager differently? Why bother to care whether it is the fourth brother or me who won the final victory? And I won't be able to tolerate my brother like the fourth brother."
Concubine Shu hesitated for a while before saying, "But your father doesn't know you are a man, how can you really pass the throne to you?"
Xiao Rong smiled confidently and said lightly: "It's mine, but it's mine after all!"
He ignored Concubine Shu's hesitation and hesitation. Concubine Shu can't control him at all now, and she dared not reveal his identity as a fake princess.
Because she exposed his identity as a prince, he would have fewer obstacles to his throne, but the culprit, she, must be sentenced to death. In order to prevent the twins from causing the incident with Li Dai Tao Zang, Emperor Cheng'an is likely to give up the fourth prince completely.
But what Xiao Ying didn't expect was that Concubine Shu was more open-minded than he thought.
Concubine Shu, who thought she would cause trouble for him, stood firmly on his side after Emperor Cheng'an issued an order to let him enter the court like a prince, and blocked many troubles caused by the fourth prince for him.
Xiao Ying had fewer worries, so he stood in the court where all men were all men and showed his talents unscrupulously, and compared the other princes to scumbags.
Even the supporters of the three princes had to feel in their hearts that the master they were loyal to was far inferior to the third princess.
With the support of Emperor Cheng'an, Xiao Rong himself has enough ability. He has won his reputation for the people in the world. Who would care about whether the men or women on the throne are sitting on the throne? They only care about whether their stomachs can be full. However, the great families and court officials of the aristocratic families and beat them one by one, so naturally they had to use it for him.
