The little man is born to make money

In the capital, somewhere in another courtyard.

The fifth prince hurried down from the carriage, his silk and satin was covered with a lot of dust.

His face was resolute, and there was a slender scar on the left cheek, which stretched across the entire face, setting off his originally handsome and resolute face with a bit more menacing aura, making people dare not look at him closely.

As soon as the fifth prince arrived at the other courtyard, he first sat down and drank two cups of herbal tea, then wiped the sweat off his brow, and said to the old man who was leisurely reading at the stone table, "Mr. Liu, why are you still reading? Brother is so busy today, didn't you say you have something important to discuss? Why haven't you arrived yet?"

The man called Mr. Liu, dressed in a light blue Confucian long gown, has a fair face, with a beautiful bun on his face, and his eyes flashed from time to time. At first glance, he looks like a man who is scheming and has a deep heart.

Mr. Liu slowly put down the book in his hand, and showed a detached smile to the Fifth Prince, "Your Highness is not calm today, but is it because of the imperial decree of the Holy One a few days ago?"

"Since you know, sir, why do you still ask me?" The fifth prince muttered dissatisfiedly, and said indignantly, "The sixth son actually became Prince An in this way. If I knew that there are such benefits in entrustment, I should have done it earlier." Get out of Beijing!"

"But going out of Beijing means that His Highness is out of luck with the high position, and His Highness is willing?" Mr. Liu refilled a cup of tea for him, stared at the other party and spoke bluntly.

The fifth prince smiled wryly, and he wasn't worried that people would listen to his words. He had kept some words in his heart for 20 years, and he finally spit them out quickly, "Do you think I still have hope of inheriting the throne, sir? Look at my face, sir. I knew 20 years ago that I would never be destined for the throne in my life!"

The fifth prince accompanied Emperor Qiyuan to conquer the Xiongnu, and was shot in the left cheek by an arrow from his opponent, King Maodun Khan.There were fine iron barbs on the long arrow, which directly scraped off most of the flesh on his face. Even after using a lot of repairing plasters, the long scar on his face was not removed.

How could the king of a country choose a man with scars on his face?

As early as 20 years ago, after the imperial physician told him that the wound on his face could not be cured, he stopped thinking about it.After so many years, he didn't want to stay in the capital for a long time. If he didn't worry about his fourth brother, he would have asked himself to be divided early.

If it was in the past, he might still tell himself that after a year or two of suffering, maybe his father's health would fail. By then, the younger brothers below would not be able to take charge alone, and the possibility of the fourth brother winning was extremely high.But looking at his father's health and well-being all these years, his daily meals and sleep are normal, the fifth prince is getting more and more desperate, and even feels that he may be one step ahead of his father!

But a few days ago, the imperial father's decree to confer Prince An completely ignited a sliver of ambition in his heart. If he also distributed the conferment, would it be a different situation?

Looking at his wife and children at home, the Fifth Prince was still uncontrollably moved.It's not that he doesn't want to continue to fight with the fourth brother. Who would give up something that has been fought for most of his life?But according to the current situation, they really have no chance at that position.Instead of this, it's better to be an iron hat king Dangdang, at least you can deceive your wife and children.

"I already know what the fifth prince is thinking. In fact, the move that Prince An made back then was really wonderful!" Mr. Liu sighed, with a look of admiration in his eyes.

The capital city was in such chaos back then, and all the powerful princes participated in it. Seeing that the few princes in front were dying and imprisoned, who would give up the fat that was about to fall into their mouths?Even though he knew that he was stuck in the quagmire, he was still reluctant to give up, what if there was such a chance?

It is this little bit of greed that creates a completely different situation in front of us.

When the fourth prince arrived, he saw his counselor and the fifth prince grimacing, the corners of their mouths twitched, and they walked in expressionlessly.

"Ah, fourth brother, you are here!" The fifth prince hurriedly bought a cup of tea for the fourth prince, and said with a smile, "fourth brother, drink some tea first! Is the Ministry of Industry busy these days? I heard from the fourth sister-in-law that you already have a good I haven't returned home for a few days."

The fourth prince nodded, as if he had answered his words.I don't know what happened in the past few days, but my father suddenly asked the Ministry of Industry to sort out all the construction materials of the river bank dam in previous years.

"Fourth brother, what do you want from me?" The fifth prince asked cautiously.He has always respected his fourth brother.His Virgin Mary died early, whether there is any support from his mother's family, has always been a little transparent existence in the palace.If the fourth brother hadn't picked him up when he was a child, he might not have survived to adulthood!

Speaking carefully, in the imperial palace back then, he was about the same age as the elder six, and both of them liked to cling to this cold-hearted and warm-hearted brother. The relationship between the three of them was the best. Who would have thought that now the three of them are the best among them. It turned out to be the leather monkey of the sixth child!

"The sixth son sent a letter, asking me if I would like to follow him?" The fourth prince didn't hide anything, and bluntly let out a thunder, which scared the fifth prince and Mr. Liu almost dropped the teacups in their hands.

"Lao Liu really said that?" The fifth prince couldn't believe it.

Of course it's impossible to be so straightforward, but the main point is this, the fourth prince doesn't want to waste his tongue, so he just pointed out the purpose.

"What do you think?" The fourth prince glanced at the fifth prince and asked.

The fifth prince faltered, did not dare to look into the eyes of the fourth prince, stared at the ground for a long time, and then whispered, "Well, fourth brother, it's not that my brother's position is not firm, but you also know that my brother has never had great ambitions. , I have no feeling for that position. As for me, now I am a prince with a bad face. Unless all the princes born to my father are dead, it is impossible for me to get my turn. My younger brother has been following the fourth brother, and I also feel that the four Brother is a person who can be entrusted and trusted, so whatever the fourth brother thinks, the younger brother will do!

But, my brother still wants to say a few words here. If I came 20 years earlier, oh no, ten years, my brother may think that we can still compete, but now the father's dragon body is healthy, and you can see how lively it is. It is not a problem to live another ten years!With this time, the younger brothers below have all grown up, and all the skills they should have have been experienced.

At that time, they will be young and strong, but we will have already reached the age of knowing our destiny!What's the point of grabbing that position?Unless we now..."

The fifth prince pointed in the direction of the palace, made a gesture of wiping his neck, and silently lowered his head amidst the stern expression of the fourth prince, "Fourth brother Renxiao, even I am not allowed to have such outrageous thoughts, let alone The action is really implemented! If this is the case—"

The fifth prince didn't say anything later, he knew that the fourth brother had already understood what he meant.

The fourth prince tapped the stone table with his thin fingers, and his tone was low, with a hint of negativity, "I've always been in poor health, to be honest, I really don't think I can survive my father.

Since I was a child, my father has always regarded me as a Pythagorean straight minister. He thinks that my temperament is too straight, too strong and easy to break, and I am not suitable for inheriting the throne.Before my concubine passed away, she also secretly told me to just be a pure minister.If it weren't for the tragic events back then, I wouldn't have such rebellious thoughts.

Among all the emperor brothers back then, the one I admire the most is the second emperor brother.Brother Erhuang was unparalleled in intelligence and beauty since he was a child, and he learned the way of the emperor taught by his father. I have already considered him the most suitable next king from the bottom of my heart.

If it weren't for the longevity of the father..." At this point, the fourth prince suddenly stopped talking, aware of the gaffe in his words, and quickly said, "The princes in front of us are the most embarrassing. After the palace change, the father I was ordered to go to Guangji Temple to pay respects to the Buddha. Although there was a secret intention to protect it, I felt resentful in my heart. "

When the fourth prince said this, he seemed to have confided all the grievances accumulated in his heart for half a lifetime, and even left behind the prudent and earnest actions that he reminded himself all the time.He once expressed his dissatisfaction with that superior father, his eyes were red and he said, "I just want to live a good life and be a good official who does practical things for the people.

When he was young, he chose an heir and asked me to be his right-hand man, and I was happy to do it; later, he lived a long and healthy life, and couldn't get used to the heir he had personally chosen, so he killed as soon as he wanted to, without mercy, and I, an insignificant Chunchen didn't need to appear in front of his eyes anymore.But after waiting for a few years, the younger brothers below have grown up, he needs a whetstone, and I was called back by his imperial decree? "

It was the first time for the Fifth Prince to hear these remarks, his face turned pale with shock, his fingers trembled again and again, before he unsteadily picked up the teacup and took a sip to suppress his shock.

"Father, father..." The fifth prince showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "We are his own sons!"

"Your Majesty has more than twenty relatives and children, how important do you think you are?" The fourth prince sneered, holding the teacup in his hand tightly, the corners of his mouth curled into a straight line, "Anyway, I can't get away now, and I have no feelings for being cheap Brothers, why not support Lao Liu who grew up with us! At least Lao Liu has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch to us now!"

The fifth prince was taken aback, then gritted his teeth, "Fourth brother, I'll do it with you!"

Prince An, who is far away in Jiangning City, doesn't know yet, he just wants to show off his title of prince, and by the way, appease his two brothers who are still bald princes, so they think that he is a new investment that they can rely on , has already helped him figure out how to arrange various matters in the capital, and he is even more concerned than the client.

At this time, Prince An is in the biggest dilemma in his life, that is, how to help his hapless son chase his wife, this weird and necessary terrible thing!
