Chapter 184 The Prince

The south bank of Shichahai, Dunjun Prince's Mansion, front hall.

"Okay! You dare to enter the house. Why are you here to see if you are dead?" The Tenth Prince stared at Cao Yong, who was standing at the head of the Sixteenth Prince, and sneered.

Cao Yong had a polite smile on his face, and he didn't know what to say. Last time he saw the Tenth Prince in June, he was not strong but was energetic and ruthless. Seeing that he was so haggard, Cao Yong thought of the medicine that Wei Bai had put on, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the "Stupid Old Ten" who looked very fiercely. With such an indescribable hidden secret, it seems that it will not be easy to "condition" in the past few months.

Seeing that the tenth prince came in, the sixteenth prince got angry at Cao Yong. He quickly changed the topic and said with a smile: "Good brother, this three or four months of separation is really a concern for my younger brother. I have brought deer jelly and deer tendons today. Although I know that my brother does not lack this, I always have some fun!"

Although the Tenth Prince was in a group with the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince, he did not have any contact with others. Not only was there political needs, these people were more attracted to those young princes, but also because compared with the Fifteenth Prince, the Sixteenth Prince was more worthy of his life and was quite inclined to the Tenth Prince's temper, so the Tenth Prince was a little close to him. Now the Sixteenth Prince's wife's wife pointed to the Guo Luoluo family, and although the Eighth Prince's Party did not regard him as his own, they were not considered heretics.

The Tenth Prince was hampered by many relationships. Now seeing the Sixteenth Prince smiled, it was not easy to give face. He immediately glanced at Cao Yong fiercely, and then said to the Sixteenth Prince: "Sit down and talk, shouldn't you be by the Emperor Ama? When did you run back?"

When the sixteenth prince saw that the tenth prince wanted to let Cao Yong go, he was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he pulled Cao Yong down with a smile: "The tenth brother told us to sit down!"

Cao Yong sat down with the flow. Prince Ten's face sank, frowning his eyebrows and staring, and immediately attacked. Prince Sixteen knew it and smiled first, "Brother Ten, in addition to visiting brother today, there is another thing to remind brother."

When the Tenth Prince heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Oh, Xiao Shiliu, it's obvious that he has grown up. I've reminded my brother! Tell me, I'll listen here!" As he said that, he looked at Cao Yong, and looked at Prince Sixteen with a little confused look. Since he had something to say, why did he bring outsiders here?

The sixteenth prince saw what he meant and replied, "If it were something else, I would come over alone; because this was also related to Cao Yong, I would take him here to save trouble!"

Seeing that the Sixteenth Prince was speaking solemnly, the Tenth Prince couldn't help but take it seriously and frowned and said, "What the hell is it? Don't go around with your brother, be more straightforward to say something!"

The Sixteenth Prince looked out the living room door and was sure that there was no one else. Fang whispered: "Did Brother Ten offend anyone?"

The Tenth Prince was uncomfortable and his eyes suddenly widened, and he didn't say anything for a long time. Since he knew that his illness was wrong, he thought about the people he knew. Because he had no beginning and no end, he was still in chaos. Therefore, he was very concerned about these words. After hearing the Sixteenth Prince's words, he couldn't help but get distracted and began to think about it himself.

Cao Yong didn't know why the Sixteenth Prince suddenly mentioned this, and was secretly shocked. Because he knew the "inside story", he felt a little guilty. Although his face was as calm as before, he was also a little nervous.

The Sixteenth Prince kept paying attention to the tenth Prince's expression. Seeing him like this, he knew that he was blindfolded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Tenth Prince felt relieved and stood up from the chair. He looked at the Sixteenth Prince and said in a deep voice: "What does this mean by Brother Sixteenth?" He just realized that the Sixteenth Prince had just returned from the grassland, and he was afraid that he would not know so much about the matter in the capital. He said this for no reason, and there must be some individual reasons. The Tenth Prince frowned and guessed: "Is it someone who gave me eye drops in front of the Emperor Ama?"

The Sixteenth Prince looked embarrassed: "Brother Ten, I don't have much to say about other brothers! But Prince Shuncheng submitted a memorial to apologize, because... um... it seems like he was blinded by someone. And..." He was a little hesitant when he said this.

The tenth prince's face turned pale and he suppressed his anger and said, "What else?"

The Sixteenth Prince looked at his face and whispered: "There are also the number of people who died suddenly in the tenth brother's mansion, which is really a bit more... There are rumors that Brother Ten had known about the epidemic at this time, but he refused to prevent the epidemic properly and let them enter and exit, so that the inner city..."

"Don't let it go!" The Tenth Prince was so angry that he could no longer listen. He pointed at Cao Yong and shouted, "Cao Yong, you made it clear to Xiao Shiliu that day, you found out that you were wrong and brought the people from the infantry yamen to surround the master's mansion. Didn't you let you surround me?"

Cao Yong hurriedly stood up and replied, "Tenth Master, I have told Sixteenth Masters long ago. These are nonsense. Two months ago, there were many houses involved. If the Tenth Master had not cooperated for the people's livelihood and the country, the epidemic would not have been so easy to curb. The people in the capital should have a great grace to the Tenth Master!"

Although the tenth prince was very dissatisfied with Cao Yong before, and was also angry. Now that he heard such a reputation, he was a little embarrassed, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about these useless things. I have been raising them for those few months, and I don't have the shamelessness to be greedy for me. It should be my fault. If someone wants to plot against me, I am not that kind of good-natured!"

The Sixteenth Prince wanted this effect. He smiled in his heart and his face was still solemn. He said everything he should have said, so he refused to stay any longer, saying that he hadn't gone to the Thirteenth Mansion to pay his respects, and was afraid that he would go to my brother to choose the matter tomorrow.

Although the Tenth Prince was determined to ask who was causing trouble in Rehe, the Sixteenth Prince was willing to say this? He just smiled and politely said a few words, then said goodbye.

Cao Yong came out with the Sixteenth Prince Dadun's Mansion, and admired him from the bottom of his heart. How could this child leave a confused impression in history? Then he immediately realized that he could have lived through the late Kangxi years and fought for the throne. In Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties, he was favored because of this "confused".

The Sixteenth Prince was still afraid that Cao Yong would not understand the meaning of the play just now, so he smiled and said, "We are considered to be 'the disaster in the east', but there is no way! If we apologize directly for the tenth brother, we would say that he was reckless and anxious at that time. No matter what the reason, don't expect him to know the priorities. In his eyes, it was a matter of hurting the face, so don't care about you? As long as you set up another target, divert his anger towards you, and give him a step. This is appropriate!" As he spoke, he looked a little proud.

Cao Yong rode on the horse and smiled at the Sixteenth Prince: "It's a bit like this, but I'm thinking, can you offend me?"

The Sixteenth Prince was stunned and then smiled, "I really let you talk. I didn't have the right person to help you share your grievances. I just remembered him! He was a little too snobbish. He went to Rehe in July and looked at Brother Fifteen, I, Brother Seventeen, and I have no foundation, so I was a little negligent in my words. I'm okay, how could I care about these with him? But Brother Seventeen was a little annoyed, so I brought him Bumuba with me. As for whether it was a blessing or a disaster, Bumuba had to pray for his own blessing. Brother Ten's backbone was the starling and brother Ninth, and those two were not vegetarians!" He couldn't help but smiled badly when he said this.

Cao Yong didn't know whether he should admire him or sigh that he had lived for two lifetimes and was still relying on Mr. Zhuang to plot against others, but he might not be so invisible. The Sixteenth Prince, he is only sixteen years old...

The sixteenth prince in the Thirteenth Mansion was completely different from the one in the Dun Prince's Mansion, and he returned to his past laughter and laziness. When he saw the Thirteenth Prince, he shouted that he wanted to drink good wine.

Since he went to Dun County Prince's Mansion, the Sixteenth Prince had already sent someone to say that he would come to pay his respects to his brother and have dinner with him. The Thirteenth Prince had already asked people to prepare for it.

In the early years, the Sixteenth Prince was still young, and the Thirteenth Prince was not particularly close to him. Later, because of Cao Yong's relationship, he had much closer contact with the Sixteenth Prince than before. Moreover, in the past two years, the Thirteenth Prince has experienced ups and downs and downs, and has seen what the "worldly state" is. It really makes him feel relieved that the Sixteenth Prince can get close to him without utilitarianism, and naturally he will be better for the Sixteenth Prince.

Prince Cheng’s Mansion, Study Room.

The third prince held his breath and concentrated his mind. He wrote a few big words on the desk, then put down the pen and looked at it horizontally and vertically. He was not very satisfied. He shook his head, changed the paper and pressed it with the paperweight. He thought about it carefully before putting it down.

Among all the princes, the third prince does not have the noble origin of the prince, the bravery of the eldest prince, the hard work of the fourth prince, the good reputation of the eighth prince, and the favored by Kangxi as thirteenth and fourteenth princes. What he can rely on and be proud of is his academic achievements. His geometry was taught by Kangxi personally, and in addition, he has achieved quite a bit of success in the law and calendar.

Since the 40th year of Kangxi, the third prince allocated silver and money to support his disciple Chen Menglei to compile a book. It took five years to complete the book "Comprehensive Books of Ancient and Modern Times" and gained a reputation in the Shilin.

Originally, the third prince was not very enthusiastic about the crown prince, after all, the title of the crown prince was decided long ago; Besides, even if the reserve position is unstable, and the eldest prince, the eldest son, is in front, how could he fight against?

With the decline of the eldest prince's mother clan Mingzhu Mansion, the power of the Soetu family disappeared, and the third prince couldn't help but be moved. They were all dragon sons. Except for the legitimate prince, who would be better than whom?

In response to the old saying "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry", the Eighth Prince emerged and turned into a force with the Ninth Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince, and the Power rapidly expanded. In just a few years, he became a three-legged staggering force with the eldest Prince and the Prince. The Third Prince, the prince who was not ranked, was once again neglected by the world.

Finally, he ended up being abolished the prince and encircled the eldest prince. The subsequent storm of recommending the prince made the eighth prince lose his holy heart again. Although the prince is reincarnated now, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is just a puppet, and it is a matter of time to depose it any more.

Apart from the eldest prince and the prince, even if the third prince is older, he is both secretly happy and trembling. Fortunately, because he likes calligraphy, writing two words every day can also make his mind calmer.

The third prince shook his wrist and finally felt that his strength was insufficient. He shook his head and thought about it again. This emperor asked the fourth brother to go to Rehe and let him stay in Beijing. Is this important thing about himself or the fourth brother?

Regarding this issue, in the past January, he has to think twice a day. When he thinks about whether he values ​​himself, he feels a little happy; when he thinks about whether he values ​​the fourth brother, he will be suspicious.

He was trapped in this problem, and he heard the eunuch at the door say, "My dear, Man Meng asked for a meeting and said that he had something to report to me!"

"Yeah! Call him in!" said the third prince.

The little eunuch responded and said, a man in his thirties came in and called the third prince a thousand: "I wish you goodbye to me!"

He is the prince's mansion, the third prince always values ​​the most. Recently, he was ordered to take people to stare at the Dun County Prince's Mansion.

When it comes to the matter of Prince Shuncheng, the third prince always feels something is wrong. The first thing is to suspect is the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince. After just searching, the reason has not been found. The third prince did not give up and still asked people to stare at these two places.

There is nothing unusual about the Ninth Prince, but nothing is right on the Tenth Prince. Since mid-June, the Imperial Doctor has not stopped. The previous Imperial Doctor left Beijing and "returned to his hometown". The second old Imperial Doctor came back from the Dun County Prince's Mansion and fell off the carriage and died before he returned home. This is really strange.

The third prince couldn't help but suspect that the tenth prince and the others were going to do something bad. Apart from the 12th prince and the 14th prince who just returned, there were only himself and the 13th prince left in the capital. The 13th prince has lost power, who would have trouble dealing with him? As he thought about this, he became more and more cautious in his diet.

"Why is there something wrong with me when I come back at this time?" asked the third prince.

Manager Meng said, "Reply to my words, it's not two o'clock this day (2:30 p.m.), the sixteenth prince, the princess and the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, Cao Yong, went to the Dun County Prince's Mansion together, and left the palace at the third hour of Shen Chu (3:45 p.m.). Before entering the palace, they could not see the joy and anger, but when they left the palace, they showed joy. Although the servants were far away and could not hear what they were saying, they looked like they had achieved something beautiful. The servant thought about the master's orders and did not dare to slack off. He followed them, but found that these two had gone to the Thirteenth prince's Mansion. Moreover, they went straight into the hall and did not use the gatekeeper to inform them."

"Little Sixteen?" The third prince was shocked and puzzled. He knew that the sixteenth prince came to his place to ask for help at home at noon. It was just a formality and each responded to it.
