Absolute protagonist
53 The world is a chess game 4
After Chu Si finished speaking, Chenggong saw that Qu Yingfei's face completely changed: "How did you know about this?"
"Hmm..." Chu Si took a sip of tea and put the cup back silently, his tone still unhurried, "Of course I saw it."
This answer sounded quite careless to Qu Yingfei, and it could be said to be completely perfunctory. However, in a sense, it was actually the truth.
Three years ago, when Prince Yuanqing died, he was not in the palace, but in the royal garden where the emperor led all officials and many noble children to hunt together.
One night, Chu Yuzhi, who couldn't sleep and went out for a walk, accidentally ran into Qu Yingfei who was treating a rare flower in the grove.
Although he was very curious, the original body did not show up. With a pure heart, he did not associate the matter with a political conspiracy, but just thought that he had run into Qu Yingfei's personal privacy, so he didn't want to show up to avoid embarrassment.
On the second day, Prince Yuanqing suddenly caught a cold and was bedridden. He died a few days later. So everyone fell into a flurry of activity, and the little thing about Qu Yingfei was gradually forgotten by the original body.
After Chu Si arrived, when he sorted out all the memories of this body, he quickly dug out this matter from the original body's memory and realized that everything was not simple.
Since traveling through these worlds, each world has more or less differences, from the macrocosm to every particle. Things like herbs are completely different, similar or even the same.
And the flower that Qu Yingfei handled that night was exactly what Chu Si knew. It was a flower with trace amounts of toxins. If you keep it around for a long time, you will absorb the toxins until one day it breaks out completely. The symptoms of the attack are very similar to the cold entering the body, but it is a hundred times more dangerous than the cold.
This made Chu Si guess.
Sure enough, after just a casual test, Qu Yingfei revealed his flaws, so Chu Si caught him.
However, the person behind the scenes also surprised Chu Si. He did not expect that the prince who was gentle, cowardly and indecisive in everyone's eyes would be the real murderer who killed his brother, Prince Yuanqing.
For a moment, the prince's personality was refreshed in Chu Si's mind.
Qu Yingfei looked at Chu Si with full vigilance, and even flashed murderous intent in the depths of his eyes. It was because the other party knew too much...
Chu Si was not worried.
He smiled slightly and changed the subject directly.
"Young Marquis, do you want to get rid of the fourth prince?"
In Qu Yingfei's doubtful eyes, the still pale young man slowly smiled, like the slowly approaching moonlight permeating the night. His tone was full of bewitching meaning.
"Then, let's cooperate..."
"I will help you deal with the Fourth Prince, and you will help me find the real culprit behind the frame-up of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
For a period of time afterwards, the Crown Prince, who had always been timid and inconspicuous in the court, actually made several good suggestions in a row, winning the appreciation of the three dukes and nine ministers for the first time, and even obtained the right to implement some of the suggestions.
With power, it is not difficult to do a little trick, whether it is to place your own people or to trip up the Fourth Prince. For a time, the originally silent Crown Prince was in high spirits and high spirits. There were more and more people around him.
However, what happened afterwards made everyone dumbfounded and unbelievable.
With the hint and acquiescence of the Crown Prince, a censor who had recently surrendered to him reported the Fourth Prince in the court, and every word of the content was true, without any adulteration.
"...This shows that the fourth prince is arrogant and disregards human life. I hope Your Majesty will--"
"Bang!"
Before the censor finished speaking, a fist came towards him and hit him in the face, breaking his nose. He spat out his teeth with a mouthful of blood foam.
"Fourth Prince!"
The hall was in chaos, and many people's brains crashed for a while, looking at the scene in front of them in confusion.
"Bang!"
The fourth prince, who had just made a move, did not stop, and kicked the man to the ground again. He leaned over and grabbed the poor censor's head with both hands, and smashed it on the ground.
"...You said I was arrogant and disregarded human life?" The arrogant voice of the fourth prince, accompanied by the sound of his head hitting the ground and the censor's screams, rang in everyone's ears, "Okay, I will help you create evidence directly. See if you have the life to get it!"
The hot blood dyed the marble floor red.
In the obstruction of the court officials and palace guards, the fourth prince finally let go and kicked the censor who had become a dead dog away. There was a hint of irony on his handsome face, which was like a demon, and his unscrupulous eyes slowly swept over everyone.
"Look carefully, this is the real arrogance and disregard for human life!" He raised his lips and laughed wantonly, "As for those little fights I just mentioned, don't bring them up to make people laugh!"
The eyes of the court officials present changed when they looked at him.
...Mad man! What a mad man!
...In the past, the fourth prince was young and had little contact with the previous dynasty. Although they had heard many rumors about him, they didn't know his character. But now it seems that he is a complete mad man!
But the emperor behind the imperial case still had an indulgent look on his face, and only symbolically scolded: "Nonsense! The fourth prince is young and inexperienced. After being slandered, he was angry and acted too impulsively. Go back to the palace and be confined for half a month to reflect on yourself!"
Looking at the unknown censor and the pool of blood on the ground, everyone was confused. They said: They had never seen anyone lie to such an extent, nor had they seen such obvious partiality.
...eIs this called being young and inexperienced and angry?
As for the censor who was personally determined by the emperor to have "slandered" the prince, his ending was also predictable.
In a certain courtyard in Yongjing, the prince, who had narrated the whole story, had a livid face.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince is too arrogant. We must not sit and wait for death..."
A group of staff were indignant, and they were giving advice one after another, vying to show themselves, intentionally or unintentionally isolating another person.
The young man who was isolated by these people just sipped his tea leisurely, watching the scene like an outsider, and his expression was still calm.
The prince, who was watching the other party from the corner of his eyes, could not actively provoke the other party to speak, so he could only say in his heart that it was good, and smiled helplessly on the surface: "Mr. Chu, what do you think?"
How else can Chu Si see it? Of course, he uses his eyes to see it: ).
The cooperation mentioned before is just an excuse to reassure the prince. He can't always hold the other party's handle until he gets impatient and gets rid of himself, right?
He doesn't really want to help the prince, but just wants to take the opportunity to stir up the muddy water in the capital to facilitate his secret planning.
These days, Chu Si also discovered that the personality of this prince can't be said to be completely fake.
Usually, he is indeed a little gentle, cowardly, indecisive, and wears a mask of respecting the wise. But this person is narrow-minded and jealous. Once jealousy is aroused, he will suddenly act impulsively and become bold and radical. Perhaps the incident of Prince Yuanqing back then originated from this.
At the same time, under the appearance of indecision, the prince is extremely stubborn by nature. He hesitates before doing things, but once he makes a choice, he will never look back.
As long as he can grasp the character flaws of this person and find out the psychological desires of the other party, Chu Si can let the other party do what he wants without making a sound.
Therefore, Chu Si just spread his hands helplessly: "I don't have any good ideas for the time being. After all, the fourth prince has the Holy Transcript. No matter how many mistakes we find him, as long as His Majesty indulges him, it will not be a big deal."
He sighed softly and frowned slightly: "The most difficult thing to deal with is this Holy Transcript. Your Highness, it is better to avoid it for the time being."
The prince's expression really became ugly.
The fire of jealousy in his heart burned fiercely.
... When Prince Yuanqing was still alive, his father could only see this smart and virtuous eldest son in his eyes, and no one else could be seen. Now, even the son born to that unpresentable woman is more favored than himself. How can he bear this?
Chu Si said a few more words casually, which sounded very reasonable. Instead, he persuaded the group of staff of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to temporarily avoid it. This made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more and more angry.
"You don't have to say anything more. My fourth brother never hides his actions." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stretched out his hand to stop everyone's advice, with a sneer on his face, "If one mistake is not okay, then two, if two are not okay, then a hundred, I don't believe that my father can always be deceived by him?"
In ancient times, there was a saying that three people can make a tiger, and what he had investigated was the truth. These people advised him to be patient and give in, but he insisted on fighting to the end.
So, in the following time, the battle between the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince in Dayong City caused a lot of splashes. Dramas appeared one after another. Officials were constantly dismissed because of this, and the court was full of fire and gunpowder. Even ordinary people felt this weird atmosphere and were no longer so keen on private gossip.
Taking advantage of the chaos in Yongjing, with the help of the prince's power and the manpower he had been developing during this period, Chu Si gradually found out the whole process of the destruction of the Prime Minister's Mansion through two routes, one open and one secret.
"It was her..." Seeing Princess Xinhua's name, Chu Si was not surprised. He turned his eyes to the other people on the list, "From the three dukes to the nine ministers, there are countless people in the court who want to bring down the prime minister... They have quietly participated in it."
Even the emperor who seemed to be indifferent and incompetent also gave a push.
——Perhaps the emperor knew everything when Princess Xinhua planned it and helped her clean up the mess.
Otherwise, based on Chu Si's impression of Princess Xinhua, it is really hard to explain that the plan formulated by her intelligence could actually calculate the shrewd Prime Minister Chu Buyi?
The low-key carriage slowly drove on the bluestone road, and the breeze lifted a corner of the sky-blue curtain, revealing the pale and elegant face of the young man in the car.
He lowered his head slightly and stared at the silk book in his hand. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a shadow under his eyes.
"Sure enough..." He remembered all the information on the silk book in his mind, and curled his lips to reveal a smile, "It's better to reshuffle this world."
