Overwhelming mountains and rivers

Because Shen Qingjun has been a killer all year round, his senses are relatively keen, so he was awakened by a faint smell of blood at night, got up to check, only to find that the smell of blood came from the backyard of the palace, and Chu Xuanzhao was walking over from there.

Since it was a matter in the backyard and Chu Xuanzhao was fine, he ignored it, turned around, went back to his room and lay down.

As a result, after listening to Feng Er's report the next day, he found out what happened last night.But what he knew was that it was not Chu Xuanzhao who killed Mr. Li because of the rumors, but Mr. Li died of illness. Chu Xuanzhao suspected that someone had tampered with it, so he made up his mind to tidy up the backyard.

Shen Qingjun didn't feel that Chu Xuanzhao was cruel, but he agreed with his actions.

"If you can't manage a small backyard, how can you talk about governing the world. Although you have no choice but to accept them, you shouldn't let them go." Shen Qingjun just commented on his behavior in this way.

Of course, if Shen Qingjun knew that Chu Xuanzhao's idea of ​​governing that group of people was originally aroused because of his remarks, he might not be so calm.

"Well. Before, I thought they wouldn't affect my affairs, and they couldn't really spread any useful news, so I just treated them as an idler. Unexpectedly, this gave them the courage to make trouble and count people's lives. It seems that no one should be underestimated, and no power should be ignored." Chu Xuanzhao also sighed inwardly, what they spread yesterday was Shen Qingjun's rumor, if there is a rumor about his own treason in the future, Would not it be?

…………

Because of King Lian's killing of Hou Qing, although the emperor would not investigate the inside story of Lushan Temple, his trust in King Teng was affected after all, and part of his power was taken back by Emperor Yuan.

King Teng thought that this was caused by King Lian, and he was not angry. Seeing that Emperor Yuan's birthday was approaching, he planned to make a comeback.The atmosphere between the two was tense for a while.

As for Chu Xuanzhao, he still planned to sit and watch the situation develop.

Ever since he knew his heart for Shen Qingjun, he can no longer go out to visit brothels, even if it is acting, he can't act.But it can't let people know that he was acting in the past, so every time he goes out, he goes to Huanxi Building and asks Miss Qianxue to play the piano.

For a while, it was rumored that the romantic prince had finally found true love, and that the prodigal son turned around and guarded himself like a jade for the most beautiful woman in the capital.

Qianxue, who is both the party involved and an insider, also can't laugh or cry about this, but she dare not clarify because of the landlord's order.

With Qianxue as his raft, Chu Xuanzhao also explained his changes.

But others believed it, but his younger brother Chu Xuanxin didn't believe it. He had long felt that something was wrong with his brother since he came back, so he asked him many times, and finally his brother couldn't help venting.

"Xuanxin, I've already said everything you asked. Do you think I can win his heart?" Chu Xuanzhao and Chu Xuanxin were sitting in the private room of the Liuhe Building at this time, and Shen Qingjun because of I went to the branch cabinet for something, but didn't come together.

"Brother, to be honest, I didn't hit you. I think it's so difficult!" Chu Xuanxin didn't want to hit him, but it was really too difficult.It's not because Shen Qingjun is a man, but because he can see that Shen Qingjun is a ruthless person.

However, once a ruthless person has love, he will be the most dedicated, right?

I just don't know if my brother has the ability to become his only love.

When Chu Xuanzhao heard Chu Xuanxin's words, he exhaled fiercely, "Even if it is difficult to reach the blue sky, I have to try it. Falling in love with him, this life, I will not regret it."

"But brother, what about your grand plan and hegemony? If you want the world, you will be the emperor, what about him? Where will he be placed?" Chu Xuanxin had to remind him that this matter must be thought through. There is no other room.

Chu Xuanzhao glanced at him, meaning unclear.

But Chu Xuanxin understood what he meant, and shook violently, "You, don't look at me, I won't do it!" What a joke!He didn't think about such a tiring job as the emperor!

Chu Xuanzhao smiled and said nothing.

That's right, Chu Xuanzhao has already made up his mind to pacify the northwest, clean up the inside and outside, if Shen Qingjun doesn't like it, he will throw it to Chu Xuanxin.

But this process, he must go.Not only because of his long-cherished wish, the longing for the peace of the world, but also because of his promise to Shen Qingjun of 'no more expansion'.

"Baby, pay respects to the queen." On this day, King Lian asked the emperor to go to the harem to pay respects to the queen after he came down from court.

There is a rule in the royal family of Dayuan. Once the prince reaches the age of 15, the emperor will usually designate him as the king.And the prince who became the king will go out of the palace to build a mansion. From then on, he can no longer enter and leave the harem at will. Even if he is paying his respects to his biological mother, he must first ask the emperor for instructions, and he can only enter the harem after the emperor allows it.

Of course, Chu Xuanxin was an exception.

Because Chu Xuan listened to the rumors that he had defeated his father and mother, he was ordered by Emperor Yuan to be taken out of the palace by his wet nurse just after he turned ten years old, and moved into an abandoned mansion of the old king.

However, this facilitated the communication between him and Chu Xuanzhao.

"Prince, you are here." The queen sat on the back seat and was very happy to see Chu Xuanlin who came to the harem to pay her respects. "Come and sit down quickly."

"Mother."

King Lian's appearance mostly followed the empress's, but he was not feminine. Compared with King Teng and King Xin, he was dressed in a purple python robe, which made him feel different.

His appearance, just right androgynous, is actually the most beautiful among several brothers, but his temperament is vulgar, suppressing the advantage of appearance for nothing, and blinding a good skin for nothing.

"My son, it will be your father's fiftieth birthday in half a month. Are you ready to give me something?" The queen is such a son, so she naturally wants him to be favored so that she can inherit the throne in the future.

"Mother, don't worry, the baby has already been prepared, and it will definitely make the father happy." King Lian thought of the East China Sea pearl he ordered to find, and was confident that he would definitely please the father.

Moreover, he also thought that King Teng might tamper with the birthday ceremony, but things like pearls were not so easy to do.

"That's good. These years, my mother is old and fading. I can't get your father's love, and I can't speak well for you in front of your father. I can only rely on you, and my mother is also..." the queen said. As he spoke, he couldn't help but choked up a little.

"What is the queen mother talking about? Since the child is filial to the mother, there is no reason for the mother to work hard for the child." Seeing this, King Lian quickly took a handkerchief from the maid and wiped her tears with his own hands.

"However, Emperor, although your grandfather is gone, your uncle still supports you, which can be regarded as a bit of help to you. You should spend more time with him on weekdays. After all, it is my mother's family and will not turn to support King Teng."

Empress Lu, the ruler of her mother's Lu family was Lu Tengchang, the governor of the southeast of Dayuan, who is the father of the current empress and the grandfather of Lian Wang Chuxuanlin.Later, the Lu family was established as the queen according to the law after Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, and the Lu family was transferred to the capital as an official.

Later, Lu Tengchang passed away, and with the empress' decline, the power of the Lu family was not as good as before. Now, the empress' younger brother, Prince Lian's uncle, Lu Shihuai, is in charge. Lu Shihuai is currently the Minister of Rites and is one of the supporters of Lian Wang. .

However, because the queen and her mother's family were weak, and the Lu family supported Prince Lian because of their in-law relationship, Lu Shihuai did not actually bring much substantial benefit to Prince Lian.

"Yes, my son understands. My son is a respectable eldest son, and he is the eldest son of the first son. How can they easily fight for it. Even if King Teng gains power for a while, will the father pass the country to the son sooner or later? Stop worrying."

…………

"Father's birthday is approaching, what do you plan to give as a birthday present?" Chu Xuanzhao looked at Chu Xuanxin.

"Me? He doesn't want to see me, no matter what I send him, he doesn't want to see me, so I'll just send it off." When Chu Xuanxin mentioned Emperor Yuan, he obviously didn't mean any respect.Since I was born, I have been treated coldly by my biological father because of a rumor that is so obvious that it is a rumor. I am afraid no one will feel better, right?

But Chu Xuanxin didn't feel uncomfortable long ago, he didn't want to see him, and he didn't necessarily want to see him, so he just acted like a stranger.

Seeing what he said, Chu Xuanzhao had no choice but to say, "Then it will be the same as in previous years. I will prepare it for you. When the time comes, you can just bring it up."

"Yeah." Chu Xuanxin took a sip of tea, and before she could swallow it completely, she replied, "You might as well stop asking me in the future. Just do it like this."

"You, if others find out about this, maybe you will be charged with deceiving the emperor." Chu Xuanzhao was a little helpless towards him, but he just accepted his request.

"Hey, if you don't tell me, I don't tell you, who knows!" Chu Xuanxin felt indifferent.

…………

The Study Room of Prince Teng's Mansion.

"I heard that King Lian ordered someone to find a flawless pearl from the East China Sea. Its light was so dazzling that he sent fifty guards to watch it day and night. Hmph, it's really stupid." King Teng sneered, and the officials around couldn't help shaking .

"Of course, how can he compare with the prince." Wang Yue is currently the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and one of the supporters of King Teng.

Originally, the Minister of Officials was not Wang Yue. Later, Wang Yue surrendered to King Teng, and King Teng rewarded him for his convenience. He used his power to try to overthrow the former Minister of Officials.Because of this, Wang Yue became a loyal supporter of King Teng, and used his position to seek a lot of benefits for King Teng.

King Teng glanced at him, "Oh? Tell me, why can't he compare with me?"

"This..." Wang Yue just echoed subconsciously. Now that he was asked such a question, he immediately got stuck, but he quickly reacted, "Of course he can't compare with His Highness Prince Teng in every way."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and dared not look at King Teng again, he knew that this answer would not satisfy King Teng.

"Forget it, I won't embarrass you. Now that the situation between me and Chu Xuanlin is tense, how could my father be unaware of it? My father is just too lazy to care about it. At this juncture, no matter whether there is a problem with King Lian's birthday or me, Even if the father is angry on the surface, he will immediately think in his heart that another person has tampered with it." Teng Wang sneered, "How can I be so stupid to touch his precious East China Sea Pearl? Hmph."

"Then, shall we let King Lian win the Sacred Heart?" Wang Yue couldn't help but tentatively asked.

"Of course not. Mr. Wang, have you ever heard a saying that water can carry a boat and capsize it?" King Teng smiled, his eyes flickering.

"What does your lord mean?"

King Teng did not answer his words directly, but turned to look at He Yan who had never spoken, "It may not be a good thing to have more supporters. What do you think, Mr. He?"

"My lord is wise." He Yan cupped his hands in a salute.

He Yan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, on the surface seems to support Lian Wang Chu Xuanlin, but in fact he has long been attached to Teng Wang Chu Xuanqing.

He had brought many plans and news of King Lian to Chu Xuanqing, and provided convenience for King Teng in the battle between King Lian and King Teng, which King Lian has not yet realized.

This time, the news that King Lian secretly ordered people to find the pearls from the East China Sea was brought to King Teng by him.
