Crown Prince's Counterattack

"Shut up! What kind of place do you think this is!"

The muffled sound of slapping the desk and Zhao Kuangyin's angry roar finally made the bustling market-like morning completely quiet. There is a big headache for the two sides who are clearly separated.

It is known that Master Fang of the Privy Council has reached the age of retiring and returning to his hometown. Once he retires, this position will become a favorite. Zhao Guangyi has long regarded this position as his pocket, but on the other hand, Sima Yi How could he get what he wanted.The eldest son of the emperor passed away early, and Zhao Dezhao (Sima Yi), who is also the son of the eldest son, naturally became a popular candidate for the prince. Although there are rumors from the government and the opposition that His Majesty intends to make the emperor's younger brother, many people still don't believe that Zhao Kuangyin will skip it. His own son, canonized Zhao Guangyi as Crown Prince.With this status, Sima Yi also attracted many courtiers in a short period of time, no more powerful than Zhao Guangyi, but because of Sima Yi's special status, no one would ignore his existence.After the whole morning court, the faces of the two parties were arguing, and neither one would give in. The majestic court hall instantly became a street market, and the whole place was in chaos.

"Li Zhao listened to the order..."

As soon as Li Zhao heard Zhao Kuangyin calling his name, he was overjoyed immediately, suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked out, kneeling respectfully in front of Zhao Kuangyin to wait for the order. The people around showed a provocative smile. Seeing this scene, except for Sima Yi who remained calm, the others dared not speak out.

The qualifications of Li Zhao and Tang Qian are quite different, but Li Zhao is Zhao Guangyi's subordinate, and Tang Qian is the one chosen by Sima Yi, but His Majesty chose Li Zhao alone, and many people knew it clearly. Sure enough, His Majesty's trust in the Third Prince cannot be judged by common sense. His Majesty even refused to give the Second Prince any face. Could it be that the rumors are true?Now, everyone looked at Sima Yi with pity, but Sima Yi just frowned slightly, his face didn't change at all, which disappointed Zhao Guangyi who wanted to see a good show.

The changes in the expressions of the ministers under the seat did not escape Zhao Kuangyin's observation. He paid attention to the person standing by Zhao Guangyi's side calmly, his eyes darkened a bit.

In this fierce competition, Zhao Guangyi won a complete victory. After the early court, everyone except Sima Yi was a little discouraged. Sima Yi didn't say anything in his eyes. It was a temptation, but obviously the result was not beyond his expectations.

"His Royal Highness, wait a moment, please come with me, the official wants to see you"

Sima Yi, who was about to leave the palace, was suddenly stopped by the eunuch next to Zhao Kuangyin, he was a little surprised, his eyes thoughtful.

This scene happened to be seen by Zhao Guangyi who was about to leave the palace. Seeing the backs of the two people drifting away, the smile on Zhao Guangyi's face gradually subsided, and his eyes became more thoughtful, because the joy of getting what he wanted also faded A little bit, he knew very well why Zhao Kuangyin backed down, so...

"Hurry up and check, we must find out whose hands that thing fell into."

Zhao Guangyi whispered in his confidant's ear, his tone full of cruelty.

#************

After the morning court, Zhao Kuangyin who returned to his study dismissed the servants and stood by the window alone, looking at the scenery outside the window with a gloomy expression.

Zhao Kuangyin's complexion became more ugly the more he thought about it. The years of being controlled by others made him suppress countless resentments in his heart, but a little intolerance would lead to a big conspiracy. He received the news that something like that might It fell into the hands of the third brother Zhao Guangyi, and the worst situation had already happened, so he had to do that for the morning affairs, hoping to buy some time.

It's not that he didn't think about preemptive strikes, but the death of his eldest son woke him up and made him dare not act rashly again, but Zhao Kuangyin remembered all the blood debts in his heart.Even though there was hatred in his heart, Zhao Kuangyin had to admit that his third brother was very capable and ruthless. In comparison, his sons were much inferior, and they were not the third brother's opponent at all, so he treated these children all these years. This is also a kind of protection, but now it seems that it seems to be a bit of a problem.However, during this period of time, he saw what his second son did, and he improved a lot, which made Zhao Kuangyin very relieved. Regardless of whether the things were in Zhao Guangyi's hands, he decided not to bear it any longer. has arrived.

"Officials, the Second Highness is here."

"come in"

The eunuch guarded the door, Zhao Kuangyin's tired voice came from the room, Sima Yi walked in, and saw Zhao Kuangyin standing by the window with his back to him.

"Daddy, what do you want to do with your baby?"

Zhao Kuangyin turned around and looked at Sima Yi, his face gradually darkened.

"Didn't I tell you not to conflict with your third uncle? What's going on with the morning court today!"

"Ha ha……"

Hearing Zhao Kuangyin's reprimand and displeasure, Sima Yi didn't panic at all, but laughed softly.

"Daddy, the hunter has already rushed in with a sword. Do you want to retreat again and again? You can tolerate a lot with the third uncle, but the child doesn't want to do that. Jackals, tigers and leopards will not feel pity because of people's concessions." It is better to hold the initiative in your own hands than to give in..."

Zhao Kuangyin took a deep look at Sima Yi with a calm expression, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.

"It seems that you have made up your mind. Since this is the case, your Third Uncle Wang will go to war in a short time. This time, you might as well go with him. It's up to you how far you can go."

"Thank you Daddy, the boy will not let you down"

Sima Yi's eyes showed surprise, and Zhao Kuangyin's eyes showed imperceptible encouragement, Sima Yi smiled, and indeed many things were not as they appeared on the surface.

The two discussed for a long time in the study, but no one knew what they said.Even after Sima Yi left for a long time, Zhao Kuangyin was always in a good mood. Finally, God did not treat him too kindly and took away his eldest son, but it also gave him hope.The child has grown up, and he has a successor. The worries that had accumulated in Zhao Kuangyin's heart for many years finally faded away today.

#************

Zhao Guangyi, who returned to the palace after the morning court, was a little upset. He kept recalling the scene he saw when he came back, and kept guessing what the two father and son in the palace would say, or what they were plotting, thinking that someone was behind him. Counting him, Zhao Guangyi was very restless.

Even if he is sitting in this position today, it is nothing more than a castle in the air to him. The scene of releasing military power with a glass of wine is still vivid in his memory. If he is not Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother and his mother's support behind him, I am afraid that this will be released. He is one of the people who loves him. Zhao Kuangyin can take back everything he has now, and his years of hard work will go to waste. This is obviously unacceptable to Zhao Guangyi, let alone what he wants. many.As long as he can get the original imperial decree, he doesn't have to be afraid of anything. At that time... Zhao Guangyi's eyes will be a little more cruel.

"Where exactly?"

Zhao Guangyi put down the teacup distractedly. He has been thinking about this these days, but he never got the result he wanted.

"My lord, my lord has arrived"

The servant came to report in a hurry, Zhao Guangyi's eyes lit up.

"Please!"

Zhao Guangyi's tone was rapid, he stood up and sat down again, took a sip of tea to calm himself down.

"See Your Majesty!"

Hou Shijian walked in and stood up to speak after bowing respectfully.

"How are things going?"

Zhao Guangyi glanced at Hou Shijian, even though he was a little anxious, but he didn't show it at all.

"Zhao Pu is finally willing to speak"

Hou Shijian came to report in a hurry, knowing how much the Third Prince attached great importance to this matter, so naturally he would not miss this opportunity to brush his face.

"Oh? Where's the thing?"

Now, Zhao Guangyi couldn't keep calm anymore, the joy was obvious on his face, he had searched for something for many years, put in a lot of hard work, and now his efforts were not in vain, Zhao Guangyi looked at Hou Shijian with great satisfaction.

"In the hands of the second prince"

Hou Shijian glanced at Zhao Guangyi and replied.

"It turned out to be in his hands"

Obviously, this answer was somewhat beyond Zhao Guangyi's expectation. He didn't expect that the things that went around would be in his place. Zhao Guangyi couldn't help thinking about it. What Sima Yi did these days made Zhao Guangyi feel deeply afraid. , plus he still had that thing in his hand, this made Zhao Guangyi feel infinite killing intent in his heart.

"It seems that my nephew is extraordinary..."

Zhao Guangyi's tone was very meaningful. These days he had caused a lot of trouble for himself. Zhao Guangyi saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

"My lord, has the second prince already handed over the things to the officials?"

Hou Shijian looked worried. If this is the case, then things will be bad. Zhao Guangyi's heart thumped when he heard this, and he was relieved after thinking about it carefully.

"It should still be in his hands"

Since Zhao Kuangyin still tolerated him a lot in the early court, it is certain that he has not got the item. As for why Zhao Dezhao didn't hand over the item to Zhao Kuangyin, the reason for this is unknown to Zhao Guangyi. The plan for Zhao Guangyi was a good thing, Zhao Guangyi breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone was a little more relaxed.As long as the item is not in Zhao Kuangyin's hands, there is still a chance to get it back.

"Fix him and get the stuff back"

Zhao Guangyi lowered his voice, his tone was full of murderous intent, and leaned into Hou Shijian's ear and said, Hou Shijian was taken aback for a moment, and then he became ruthless. The scene of the emperor's eldest son being killed was still vivid in his mind, but now he is about to meet the emperor's second son. Yet?But his job was simply to do what he was told.

"Humble job understands"

Zhao Guangyi smiled in satisfaction, don't blame him for being a cruel uncle, but blame yourself for blocking his way!Thinking that such a thing is about to be obtained, Zhao Guangyi seems to have seen the day when he will become the Ninth Five Lord...
