Crown Prince's Counterattack

There was the sound of crackling and shattering porcelain in the study room, and the guards guarding the door looked at each other, carefully choosing not to start.

The room was in a mess, scattered papers, splashed ink, broken teacups... Wu Sidao sat on the side calmly, as if he didn't notice it at all.

Yinzhen sat in front of the desk, his face was a little tired, and the jade plate on his thumb could not be turned, revealing the faint uneasiness in his heart.

"Early today, my father issued a decree to restore the crown prince. Although I had expected it, but after seeing this day, this king still..."

Yinzhen spoke silently, his gaze slowly emptied.

"...I didn't expect to make wedding clothes for others in the end"

"My lord, if you can't bear it, you will make a big conspiracy!"

"This king knows, but I still feel unwilling..."

The Fourth Prince, who was always expressionless, rarely showed frustration.

"I have not yet congratulated the prince for being promoted to the position of prince"

"Sir, don't make fun of it, it's just a way for the father to check and balance the court."

"No, no, you can reach a thousand miles without accumulating steps, and now the prince is slowly approaching what you want"

Wu Sidao had a faint smile on his face.

"You're right"

Yinzhen sighed, the current situation is getting more and more complicated, and the crown prince's restoration means a reshuffle of power.Now the talents under the prince's sect are withering, but the kings are gradually penetrating into the court.Since that incident, the eighth brother has gradually lost his sacred heart, and now the only person who can pose a threat to him is the crown prince.

Su Peisheng approached Yinzhen quietly, whispered something in his ear, and then respectfully put a brocade box on the table.

"This thing finally arrived"

This is a sharp weapon that he entrusted someone to find through untold hardships, and it is specially used to deal with the prince.

Yinzhen opened the brocade box, and a dark square was quietly placed in the box, exuding a faint fragrance.

Wu Sidao took a look and frowned.

"My lord, are you really going to do this?"

As a counselor, he would rather use conspiracy than to use these insidious methods, which made him feel ashamed.But obviously this prince likes to use these methods that are not on the table.

"Why don't you use it? This is a good thing. This king specially found it for him."

Yinzhen's gaze is as gloomy as ice. If he wants to achieve his goal, it doesn't matter what means he uses. He only cares about the final result.

Wu Sidao's heart skipped a beat, and he wisely chose to remain silent. Although he said he had recognized his master, this master's methods were too vicious. On the day when he can ascend the throne, he can only choose to retire after success.

what happened!

Something is wrong!

So wrong!

In the dormitory, Sima Yi supported his forehead, his mind was in a daze, and phantoms flashed in front of his eyes.

Every night he seems to be able to dream that he has returned to modern times, but when he wakes up, there is a sudden pain in his temple.

These days, his temperament has become more and more impetuous. Even Chen Gui dare not get too close to him. When the opportunity arises, there will never be a chance for people to act.

This kind of urge to kill violently anytime and anywhere is definitely not in his character, he must have followed other people's ways, Sima Yi tried to calm down, thinking that those places where he is easy to be attacked by others.

If the food is too conspicuous, the only possibility is... delicious.

Green smoke lingered in the incense burner, and a faint fragrance came out.

Sima Yi summoned Chen Gui.

"Where did this fragrance... come from?"

Chen Gui entered the bedroom in fear, seeing Sima Yi's expressionless face, he immediately had a bad feeling.

These days, His Highness's temperament has become more and more strange and moody. Although he tried his best to hide it, Chen Gui was still sensitive to it, and he was even more worried. The crown prince finally returned to his position, but nothing serious should happen.

"Last time you said that you didn't like the smell of ambergris, so I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send a new spice—Afuran, I heard that it is also called □□□, and it is a treasure from overseas. My lord, is there something wrong with this spice? ?”

Chen Gui's expression changed, there were too many things in the palace, and there were endless tricks, he never expected that someone would be so bold as to assassinate the prince.

"A Furong?! What a Furong!"

In the beginning, taking drugs can relieve fatigue and refresh people, but the longer the daily life, the more addictive they become, and this kind of thing has never appeared in this land, so the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not notice it and did not strangeness.

However, drugs are drugs, whoever sent this kind of thing to him is really well-intentioned!Fortunately, this person did not dare to use large doses on him. He added this kind of thing to spices and made himself inseparable from it. If one day he could not smell this spice, then... let himself be controlled by drugs, that is, To be unobtrusive, yet able to achieve that person's sinister intentions, such a scheming could only be that of the future Emperor Yongzheng.

"Chen Gui, go and check for Gucha, who sent these incenses from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Chen Gui nodded quickly, with a ruthless expression on his face, he must find those who wanted to kill His Highness the Crown Prince.

Sima Yi kicked down the desk vigorously, poured tea on the cigarette ash that was not completely extinguished, a cold light flickered in his eyes.

Fortunately, he noticed something wrong with the spice early on, even if he was really addicted, he was not afraid.It's just that he can't let go of the person who dares to attack him.

The crown prince was furious, and all the spices in Yuqing Palace were destroyed, and all the incense burners were removed.

Sima Yi slammed the book on the table heavily, and walked back and forth by the window, his face was slightly pale, and beads of sweat ooze from his forehead.

There seemed to be thousands of ants gnawing at his heart, which made him wish to light up the leftover spices immediately, but he resisted himself, and he absolutely could tolerate being controlled by these things.

"Prince, there is news"

Chen Gui hurried back from the outside.

"Tell me"

Sima Yi forcibly suppressed his impulse, and looked at Chen Gui calmly.

Chen Gui wiped the sweat from his brow, with a somewhat smug smile.

"The servant found out that the batch of spices was shipped from Guangxi."

"Guangxi? I ​​just remember that the governor of Guangxi is from Yinzhen. It seems that he really put in a lot of effort."

A gleam of understanding flashed in Sima Yi's eyes.

"Chen Gui, you have done a good job, and I will reward you with this string of agate bracelets."

"Hee hee, thank you master for the reward"

To Chen Gui's delight, Sima Yi's eyes narrowed into slits when he handed over the object. This is a good object, and it is very valuable!

The crown prince was restored, and the people in the capital were both happy and sad.

Those who are happy are naturally those who have been dependent on the prince for survival, and have given all their wealth and lives to the East Palace. The number of people is small but they are extremely loyal.

The people who are sad are naturally those who fell into trouble when the prince was deposed. It can be said that there are many people, and no one would have thought that the deposed prince would have a day of recovery.Those who betrayed the crown prince and took refuge in other elder brothers' sects not only offended the old masters, but also lost the trust of the new masters.

But most of them are smart people who are watching from the sidelines. They don't stand in line or take refuge in the prince. They stand neutral. They are also the group of people that Sima Yi wants to win over in the future.

Having received the will of restoration, Sima Yi was not as ecstatic as outsiders imagined, firstly because he had expected it, and secondly because this prince was not easy to be.

In addition to ordering Chen Gui to integrate the forces under his hands, Sima Yi stayed in Yuqing Palace to study, write and cultivate himself more often, which was not much different from the life in Xian'an Palace, which satisfied Kangxi who had been paying attention to him all the time. nodded.

He has no shortage of status, no lack of means, the only thing he lacks is patience.Emperor Kangxi is still in good health, but the older prince is in his prime. He can't tolerate the princes dividing his power. Even the prince he values ​​the most can't easily touch these taboos , so in history Yinzhen won in the word forbearance, but the prince lost in the word for wait.

Every morning Sima Yi studied and practiced martial arts with the master sent by Kangxi, and in the afternoon he followed Kangxi to deal with business. Everything seemed to be back to the days when the prince was out of the cabinet to study, and Kangxi looked at him more and more softly.

Under Sima Yi's intentional flattery, the relationship between the father and son gradually recovered. After handling political affairs with Kangxi, they would be stayed to have dinner with Kangxi. Even if they are biological father and son, it is a rare opportunity.

The process of fighting for the throne may not be the process of fighting for the sacred heart. Throughout the ages, how many heirs appointed by the emperors are their favorite princes, so Sima Yi let go of his inner anxiety and quietly followed Kangxi's side to fulfill his filial piety. Chunxiao has a good reputation.

Sima Yi lived in the palace step by step, but the ministers outside the palace looked at each other in blank dismay.After decades of suffering in the court, no matter how immature a person can become, everyone knows the purpose of Emperor Kangxi's restoration of the crown prince this time. The position is also unstable, so there is no need to rush forward to show courteousness, but what is unexpected is that after being locked up for a few months, the prince's temperament has changed drastically, which is quite unfathomable. It's not hard to come here.

The sudden change of the prince was shocking, the situation was chaotic, all the ministers were secretly plotting, and Sima Yi stayed quietly in the palace and began to prepare the New Year gift for Kangxi.
