When Chu Zhiyuan returned to Tingtao Courtyard for a nap, he lay down on the couch. Before going to bed, he was still thinking about how to deal with Song Tianhai. If Song Tianhai came directly to challenge him, he would not be angry.

Instead of attacking him directly, he instead dealt with his younger sister Chu Yi and involved his family. This made him particularly resentful and decided to deal with Song Tianhai severely. But as Song Tianhai was a small country prince and a guerrilla general in the army, it would take a lot of effort to deal with it. Brain and thinking.

The imperial court has its own laws, and the prince cannot completely break away from the laws. He can do whatever he wants and beat whoever he wants. He must act according to the laws and follow the principles.

He directly broke into the Duke of Kang's Mansion, pulled out Song Tianhai and beat him up. Although no one would stop him or even retaliate against him, he would be severely punished by the emperor, ranging from shutting up to reflect on his mistakes at worst, and punishing him at the lighter end. The opportunity to obtain meritorious service for several years would be cancelled. , delaying the practice, one step is slow, one step is slow, and ultimately the opportunity to become a great master is delayed.

It's really not worth suffering such a loss for Song Tianhai.

That night, when he went to Chu Mingxuan's Eighteenth Prince's Mansion for a banquet, he raised this question while the wine was flowing. "Take care of Song Tianhai?" Chu Mingxuan cackled: "This kid really needs to be dealt with, the third child. I have wanted to deal with him for a long time!" Chu Zhiyuan looked at Chu Zhiyao.

Chu Zhiyao frowned and said, "Why did this guy offend you, fourth brother?" Chu Zhiyuan told what happened.

"This is that guy's method, despicable and vicious!" Chu Zhiyao snorted coldly: "Like a toad, it doesn't bite but responds to others!" "Third brother, have you been suffering from him in the past few years?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

Chu Zhiyao said: "It's not like you always suffer losses. You can defeat him openly and outperform him with merit!" Chu Zhiyuan looked at him with a smile.

Chu Mingxuan chuckled and said, "What else can we do besides suffering a loss? Who makes him the uncle? We are one family."

"Fourth brother, I support you in dealing with him, as long as you don't kill him!" Chu Zhiyao snorted, "I'd love to see him suffer!" Chu Zhiyuan said, "Does he have any weaknesses?"

"Weaknesses..." Chu Zhiyao thought for a moment: "There doesn't seem to be any weaknesses."

"Is there anyone you care about?" Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Is there someone you love, or a woman you like?" Give him his own way in return.

There is no way to deal with Song Tianhai's sisters. After all, they are Chu Zhiyao's concubines, or the concubines' sisters, so they can make a fuss from other women. Chu Zhiyao said: "He practices martial arts all day long and has no feelings for women." I’m not interested, so I rarely go out to drink wine. As for the marriage, I haven’t gotten engaged yet.” So I became obsessed with Xiao Ruoling, the most beautiful woman in Yujing.

But now that Xiao Ruoling has become the fourth younger brother and sister, it is no longer appropriate to talk about it, so she just avoids it.

Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful: "Martial arts..."

Chu Zhiyao hurriedly asked: "Fourth brother, how do you want to deal with him?" There was excitement in his eyes.

He hated this uncle so much, but he couldn't do anything about it, which made him extremely frustrated.

"Well, it's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. After all, I'm Third Brother, your eldest brother-in-law, or your young father-in-law. You can't have a deadly feud." Chu Zhiyuan said thoughtfully, "Why don't you treat him to a drink and resolve this issue? Right." These words surprised Chu Mingxuan and the others, and they looked at each other.

"Fourth, are you kidding me?" Chu Mingxuan said hurriedly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Uncle Eighteen, what I said is the truth, not irony." "Fourth brother, are you really kidding?" Chu Zhiting was puzzled.

Chu Zhichuan also looked at him in confusion.

"Fourth brother, do you really want to invite him to dinner?" Chu Mingxuan was puzzled: "That guy is extremely arrogant. Even if you invite him to dinner, you may not appreciate it." "It's not just him, plus us together." Chu

Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Don't stay in the palace, go to my new house."

"That new house next to Mingyue Tower?" Chu Mingxuan asked.

Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Everyone must be very curious, so we simply hold a banquet there and invite the young master and several of his friends to come together. It is best to invite other young masters." "This is good."

Chu Mingxuan smiled and said: "It's a pity that not many of the eight young princes are in Beijing, they are all in the army."

"There are a few, I just don't know if they will sell me some face." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Absolutely no problem." Chu Mingxuan said enthusiastically, "Everyone wants to get close to you, but there is no chance." The fourth child defeated Cheng Tianfeng at the palace banquet and won the hearts of all the royal family, so he is not afraid to treat guests.

Not coming. Let alone the eight young princes, the eight princes will come to the banquet as long as they are in the capital.

"How about I send the post tomorrow and have a banquet the day after tomorrow?"

For this kind of formal banquet, it is not advisable to send invitations on the same day and invite them on the same day. It should be at least one day later. "That's great!" Chu Mingxuan pawed.

He loves liveliness the most. When he heard about this kind of liveliness, he wanted to have a banquet right now. Chu Zhiyuan was sitting in a room of the Supervision Department.

It was so quiet inside the house.

The birds outside the house were chirping, and the sound reached my ears.

Ma Tianhe stood aside solemnly, without saying a word, just staring at the file in Chu Zhiyuan's hand. After he finished reading a volume, he put it into the box. Chu Zhiyuan's eyes had been resting on a volume for a long time.

at every turn.

Ma Tianhe did not dare to urge him, nor did he say anything.

Chu Zhiyuan's silence at this time made him feel great pressure, as if a storm was about to come, and he did not dare to move. Chu Zhiyuan frowned and stared at the file in front of him.

Above is the negotiation situation between the officials of Dajing and Dazhen dynasties. The dialogue between each other clearly records who said what. I have to admire the power of the Supervision Department, its broad eyes and ears, and its abundant talents.

To be able to remember all these words clearly requires not only someone at the scene, but also an amazing memory.

Among the people he met, only two had such a photographic memory, one was Zou Fang and the other was Huang Shirong. Such people were rare after all.

There are such geniuses in the Inspectorate.

What surprised him was not the talent of the Supervision Department, but the content of the negotiations above. There were several deadlocks between the two sides.

One is the number of troops on the border, the number each retains. Dazhen tends to retain more troops, while Dajing prefers to retain fewer troops. The other is the candidates for marriage.

Dajing wanted to choose the twenty-third prince, but Dazhen firmly disagreed and demanded that it must be Chu Zhiyuan.

Although the officials of Dajing had made it clear that the eldest son of Prince Qing was already engaged to be a young lady from the Anguo Palace, they could not break off the marriage. However, Dazhen proposed that if the two concubines were to live side by side, Chu Zhiyuan could marry two eldest concubines, the east concubine and the west concubine.

, regardless of size.

Dajing officials were flatly opposed.

It is only the emperor's standard to have two concubines standing side by side. As the crown princes, the Queen of the East Palace and the Queen of the West Palace can only have one main concubine, and two concubines are not allowed to stand side by side. The officials of Dazhen advocated that Xiao Ruoling be made a side concubine, and the Queen of the West Palace should be appointed as a side concubine.

Princess Zhen is the principal concubine. After all, Da Zhen is a princess, while Xiao Ruoling is just a young lady from the Duke's palace.

Dajing officials insisted that the twenty-third prince marry Princess Dazhen. The prince and the princess were the most compatible, but the crown prince and the princess were always a little too far apart to express the sincerity of the alliance. Dazhen officials insisted that Chu Zhiyuan make Princess Dazhen the crown prince's concubine.

.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while.

After four rounds of discussion, they could not convince each other. Chu Zhiyuan's face became more and more serious.

He vaguely felt that the tone of the officials in Dajing was softening. According to this trend, they might not be able to hold on to the officials in Dazhen. This situation is not good.

He slowly put down the file, and Ma Tianhe hurriedly stepped forward to take it, put it into the box, and whispered: "Your Majesty...?" Chu Zhiyuan sighed: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop."

Ma Tianhe said: "Your Majesty, do you have troubles? Although the villain is stupid, he may have some achievements in stupidity!"

Chu Zhiyuan looked at him and said with a smile: "Lord Ma, you have your heart. By the way, the twelfth prince of Dalie's mission is a bit weird." "The twelfth prince of Dalie?" Ma Tianhe was startled.

Chu Zhiyuan sighed: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop."

Ma Tianhe said: "Your Majesty, do you have troubles? Although the villain is stupid, he may be able to achieve something stupid!"

Chu Zhiyuan looked at him and said with a smile: "Lord Ma, you have your heart. By the way, the twelfth prince of Dalie's mission is a bit weird." "The twelfth prince of Dalie?" Ma Tianhe was startled.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I went to the Sifang Pavilion the day before yesterday and met face to face. There is something wrong with these twelve princes." "What's wrong?" Ma Tianhe perked up.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said: "It doesn't look like the prince...it's just a feeling. It's hard to explain clearly. I just feel it intuitively. I'm afraid it's weird." People from the royal family, such as the prince and the crown prince, have an aura that ordinary people don't have.

, this kind of breath is very light and thin, and it is difficult to explain clearly.

I can sense this breath even though I am super-sense.

Prince Dajing, Prince Dazhen, and even the Dajian delegation all had this aura, but Prince Dalie did not. At that time, Prince Dalie had a different look on his face than the guards, and it was obvious that he had a guilty conscience.

As if he was afraid of discovering something.

The two together made him suspicious.
