The reborn sycophant

In June of this year, several His Royal Highnesses involved in the "Spring Search Case" were released one after another.

The Seventh Prince, who was imprisoned in the mansion, was free, but he was still silent.The eldest prince Zhao Ao, who was first imprisoned and then punished to go back to the mansion to "think about his mistakes behind closed doors", was a little suspicious. Even if the ban was revoked, he would not leave the mansion or summon his staff until Zhao Chen, who had been in prison all this time, was also released. The other two Highnesses began to believe that the matter had really passed, and they gradually appeared in front of people.

It's just that their respective circles are getting smaller and smaller after all, and many of them who have been friends with them in the past have drawn a clear line with them. When the rumors of the king gradually spread, there was a moment of warming up in front of the palace of the several highnesses. The difference between befriending a prince who was guilty of a crime and befriending a future prince and king was obvious.

On the day Zhao Chen was released from prison, his subordinates had already been waiting outside the prison in Dali Temple.Wearing half-worn robes, she was led out, staring at the bright summer sun in a daze.

really came out?

When the steward saw the master, he hurried up to greet her and led her to the carriage. Zhao Chen glanced at the gold-encrusted carriage parked at the side, and his eyes, which were very big because of his weight loss, were lit up again.

A year later, she really came out.

"Master, hurry up and get in the car, the house has prepared delicious food, you are so skinny, I really make this old slave feel sad."

The servant who came to pick up Zhao Chen was the servant who had been serving her since she was a child. She left the palace to open the mansion at the age of 15, and she also brought him out of the palace to become the housekeeper of the mansion. Sincerely.

Zhao Chen got on the carriage, felt the softness of the cushion, sighed, and asked the steward who was riding beside the carriage: "Where are the boss and the seventh, they were released before me, is there anything unusual recently?"

Zhao Chen has been in prison for a year, but when he opened his mouth, he seemed to know a lot about the outside world. The housekeeper didn't seem surprised by this, and answered her questions one by one as she asked them. In the end, I couldn't help but persuade a few words: "Master escaped the catastrophe this time, it's time to take a good rest, don't work too hard."

Zhao Ji sneered, and closed his eyes in the car to rest.

Unexpectedly, she once hated her father's kindness to the elder brother so much, but now she herself has to rely on his father's kindness to escape danger.

"Eleventh, do you now realize how unwilling I was? I was already defeated, but I have a chance to make a comeback. After you hear the news, will you take off that hypocritical mask? How about going to hate our father?"

In the low-key and luxurious carriage, the Second Highness, who had been in prison for more than a year, showed a sinister smile.

She knew why she was released from prison. At first, when she learned that her father planned to make them kings, she was surprised, but after thinking about it, isn't this the style of her father?

But unfortunately, what she wanted was never a small feudal country.

"Respect father, thank you for your kindness." At the banquet, Zhao Chen raised his glass to face the palace, and saluted respectfully.

Looking at the confidantes who toasted to thank her after her, she silently thought in her heart, Thank you, Father, for giving me a second chance.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or God's warning, shortly after the Highnesses were released, the summer torrential rain fell one after another. For more than ten days in a row, the streets were slippery everywhere and filled with water vapor.

Taichang, who is in charge of sacrifices to ghosts and gods, has written several books on this, to the effect that: the country can't do it, God has already issued a warning, and I hope that your majesty will be rewarded and punished.

That is to say: Don't let your highnesses go so easily.

I heard that His Majesty smashed all the precious treasures in the bedroom after reading the scriptures, and then summoned several important officials into the palace, and blamed them for being too aggressive in their work. His Highness let it out, and now it was hit by a continuous rainstorm, which happened to give the gang of stargazers an excuse.

Several important ministers looked at each other in private, and they all saw helplessness in the eyes of the old man.

At first they did not intend to release the highnesses so early, but since His Majesty has asked them to do this, once it starts to operate, it will inevitably leak the news. The officials who performed meritorious service in front of them wrote letters several times, requesting the release of several highnesses who had "delayed in finding evidence to convict them".These fall into the eyes of the Sangong, if they don't intend to crown the princes for several highnesses, it's fine, since they already have, they must find a way to let some highnesses come out first, so they readily agreed.

Everything was under control, but it was raining suddenly from the sky, which gave a little talk, but it was not very important.

His Majesty was only upset, so he came to vent his anger on them, and it was enough to swear a few words.

The few people who were called into the palace were old gods, but they didn't know that there was someone outside the palace who was calmer than them.

At the Qinghong Tea House, Wei Chu invited the little alcoholic Hou Yong to drink tea.

"My Commander of Wei, it's not that you don't know that I have no choice but to drink wine. No matter how expensive this tea is, if it enters the stomach of a layman like me, it will only serve to quench my thirst."

"Drink tea and meditate, you have been a little impetuous recently, drinking some tea is not a bad thing for you."

Wei Chuyan pretended not to see the two words "wine" written in his eyes, and pushed back the teacup he had pushed in front of her.She knows that Hou Yong likes to drink, but it's a pity... She was recently ordered to die by the vinegar altar, not to enter or leave the brothel, not to drink and have fun with others, so she can only feel wronged by this little brother.

Speaking of recently, some excitement rose in Hou Yong's eyes.

"Aren't you doing something for you? Sister, your plan is really terrific. I'm afraid the three princes didn't expect that the ones who let those highnesses release are not their respective supporters, but their number one enemy!"

"Keep your voice down, I just asked you to meditate." Wei Chuyan's hearing is too sensitive, and he gave him a headache from his suddenly raised voice. Hou Yong chuckled, his face reddened by alcohol all the year round, and his sluggishness did not match that of an alcoholic cleverness.

Wei Chuyan said lightly: "If you want to destroy him, first make him proud."

Hou Yong took it for granted: "If you don't let them out, I'm afraid that no matter how you stop them outside, they will be blocked by those old guys. But once they start to move, they can make more mistakes." He picked up the cold tea and drank it Take a sip: "When they make another big mistake, I see why the old guys have any reason to crown them kings!"

Introduced by Wei Chuyan, Hou Yong is already a member of Zhao Ji's lineage, but not a direct lineage. He knows very well that before the new emperor ascends the throne, this is the best time to show his loyalty, and he will definitely seize this opportunity.

"Is it so easy to make a big mistake? Did you do what I told you?"

"Sister Wei, don't worry, they don't make mistakes, we'll just 'help'. But once this thing is done, one thing will be fine, and two or three together, I'm afraid the blind will understand what's going on. Sister Wei is not afraid of getting into trouble. ?”

Wei Chuyan smiled, and Hou Yong felt as if a lotus flower was blooming in front of him: "It's one thing to know, but it's two different things to have evidence. They are the ones who made mistakes on the surface, and the evidence is as solid as a mountain, and that's enough."

"Just do it. If you can do it, then I can do what I promised you."

Hearing her promise, Hou Yong's eyes became firm: "Then I'll go. By the way, Sister Wei, how can you count the rain these days?"

Others just regard it as a coincidence, and maybe those who know their plan may only regard the rain these days as a coincidence, but Hou Yong will not, because he will never underestimate Wei Chuyan's ability.

Wei Chuyan looked at him with pity: "You don't think that only Tai Shiling under Taichang can see the weather?"

Hou Yong was startled: "Huh?"

"Do you know that if you randomly find an old farmer in the field and ask him the weather tomorrow, he can give a rough idea."

Hou Yong scratched his head, and heard Wei Chuyan say again: "It's just that the person I'm looking for is better than ordinary old farmers, and I can expect it to last longer."

She said it lightly, but Hou Yong knew that if there was such a great talent, it would be more than enough to be a Taishi Ling. Such a person would be difficult to find and invite such a person without being an official. But he can get the news he wants to know from him, and he admires it very much.

Wei Chuyan didn't know that his mind had detoured a few more times, and asked him again: "How did you choose the candidate given to you earlier? Dare you do it?"

Hou Yong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "The rest of the people are fine, but the Fifth Highness..."

Wei Chuyan said indifferently: "Those who have her weight do not do as many bad things as her, and those who do many bad things like her don't have her status. I know you don't like sacrificing innocent people very much. She is the one I chose for you. Yes, if you feel afraid, then I naturally have other candidates for the game."

Her words touched Hou Yong, and Hou Yong shook his head firmly: "Then it's her. This highness is debauched, and the souls he has collected are worse than those of the eldest prince. Now he can be the future of Daqi. Making a contribution is also a redemption.”

Wei Chuyan patted him on the shoulder, sensing the affirmation, he trembled excitedly.

"One more thing, the time is too short, and Zhao Chen is very suspicious. She can't use conspiracy, she can only use scheming. In other words, there is no need for scheming. Just take care of the boss and the seventh."

"Where is the second princess?"

"I'll go." Wei Chuyan recalled the way Zhao Chen looked at her earlier, and felt a little disgusted in her heart, but she also knew that this might be an opportunity.

"You mean?"

"I am the planner and also a player in the game."

The heavy rain was still falling, and the wheels of the carriage carrying Zhao Ji gradually began to roll. At the same time, Yang Jia appeared outside the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

On the other end, Zhou Lu, a loyal servant who has been with Wei Chuyan for many years, appeared on the street near the First Prince's Mansion. His figure was very low-key, and he walked slowly, like an ordinary pedestrian.

Wheels, run over.

The author has something to say: the next chapter is done.
