one step closer to the end

Jin Wuming was shocked and said: "So you were tricked by them too, did you move that concubine?"

"Nonsense! You're being polite, I got pregnant twice..."

Zhao Guanren patted his stomach with a smile, Jin Wuming swallowed forcefully, and stammered: "You, you are too courageous, I am so scared that my legs go limp once, how dare you do it twice, which lady?" Ah, once the stomach rises, the emperor will definitely find out!"

Zhao Guanren smiled and said: "What's the matter with the emperor, Qi... what the hell! Did you do something about the harem?"

"You, aren't you?"

Jin Wuming was astonished, and Zhao Guanren stammered in the same astonishment: "I, I am not, I am the concubine of the Eastern Palace, not the emperor's concubine!"

"I... Concubine Sun Gui..."

"..."

Chapter 0492

A Yongshi county king!A Custodian Commander!

At this moment, the two of them looked like two hooligans, squatting under the high palace pedestal, smoking non-stop with half a cigarette in their mouths.

"Concubine Sun Gui was just a virtuous concubine back then, and she gave birth to a little princess. The emperor specially allowed her to go back to her natal family to visit relatives..."

Jin Wuming mourned: "At that time, I was accompanied by the seventeenth princess, and I led the escort to change the defense. When I arrived at the place, the princess invited me to drink, but I drank too much in a daze. When I woke up the next day, Concubine Sun Guifei was naked. Lying in my arms, the princess sat on the edge of the bed and smiled at me, I was so frightened that I almost fainted!"

"Your vigilance is too low..."

Zhao Guanren said angrily: "What kind of bastard is Yaoyue, she is full of eyes, that bitch must have drugged you!"

"I was not the commander of the imperial army back then, and my vigilance was not as high as it is now..."

Jin Wuming said bitterly: "I'll do it if I don't want to prescribe it. It's all about destroying the nine clans. Although the Seventeenth Princess never mentioned this to me these years, I know that she is waiting for the critical moment. Last night she He ran over and begged me on his knees, and I agreed in a moment of softness!"

"You are really an honest person. If I put on my pants, I wouldn't admit it. You can catch a traitor..."

Zhao Guanren patted him on the shoulder and said: "Yaoyue and the others dare not say anything about it. If they say it, they will be buried with you. But the emperor has already guessed that you are the one who delivered the message. Only you can enter the East Palace. You have to tell the emperor truthfully." , but don't say you sympathize with Yaoyue!"

Jin Wuming was surprised and said, "This, how do you say this?"

"Just say that Shi Qi came to you to intercede, that her old lady was possessed by a cat demon, and she wanted to ask a celestial master to exorcise the demon, and it happened that you also felt that something was wrong..."

Zhao Guanren said in a low voice: "You promised to bring the queen out to exorcise the demons and help the emperor eradicate the evil spirits, but you never thought that Shi Qi would deceive you as well, and you even hired a charlatan to deceive others. Anyway, you didn't I don’t know anything after handing over the words!”

"But the people who banned the East Palace are all my people, no one can tell me except me..."

Jin Wuming looked at him bitterly, Zhao Guanren smiled and said: "You go to the court, and after you retreat to the emperor, just say that you can't figure out what's going on, and insist that your subordinates can't betray, it's impossible to hand over Then, leave the rest to me, see you later!"

"Alas~ One mistake will cause eternal hatred..."

Jin Wuming walked into the hall with a sigh. Emperor Shun Yao was using his "wisdom" to mock all the officials. The princes and ministers were all downcast. Even the censors with iron teeth and bronze teeth were ashamed to see others, except that there was no roll call. Jin Wuming who contributed to the flames.

"Retreat!"

As Eunuch Tian stepped forward and shouted, the princes and ministers left cursing, leaving a group of princes to drink tea in the side hall. Jin Wuming followed the emperor to the study in the back hall. What are the benefits of joining Xiao Shiqi?"

"Your Majesty! If the subject accepts even the slightest benefit, the sky will be struck by lightning and you will die..."

Jin Wuming knelt down on the ground in pain, and said everything according to Zhao Guanren's intentions. Eunuch Tian sneaked out cleverly and closed the door.

"Hmph~ You are so courageous..."

Emperor Shunyao smashed the tea bowl to the ground, and said angrily: "If no one goes to the East Palace to deliver the message, can the queen act so realistically? How dare you lie to me? I don't think your head wants to !"

"emperor!"

Jin Wuming knelt on the ground and mourned: "I can't figure it out either. Someone must have passed the message to the queen, but it can't be my subordinates. They are all old people who have been tried and tested, and they will never do it behind my back." Such a thing!"

"Your Majesty! Prince Yongshi asks to see you..."

Eunuch Tian suddenly yelled outside the door, and after Emperor Shunyao agreed, Zhao Guanren pushed the door open and walked in with a smile, and said with a smile: "Commander! Be scolded by the emperor, you have nothing to do, read more and let If someone sells it, they will pay for it!"

"what happened?"

Emperor Shun Yao looked at him suspiciously. Zhao Guanren stepped forward and lit a candle, took out a piece of white paper and baked it on the fire twice. Soon, two large characters slowly appeared on the blank paper. ——Cat Demon!

"How do you do this, demon method..."

Emperor Shun Yao stood up in shock, Zhao Guanren took out a batch of rice vinegar and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Father! It's just white vinegar to display characters. This is the secret communication method of the harem. Someone put a paper pad under the food and sent it to the table. Donggong, of course the guards will let you go if they can't read the words!"

"I'll try it!"

Emperor Shun Yao walked over curiously. After some experiments, it turned out to be invisible characters. He turned around and threw the paper to Jin Wuming, and scolded with a smile: "You are useless, let people play tricks under your nose, get up!" If nothing else, learn more from Yunxuan!"

"Thank you, the prince of the county, for your help, otherwise I would not be able to explain clearly..."

Jin Wuming got up and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, Emperor Shun Yao said again: "Yunxuan! Let's have a family dinner together at noon, just in time to bring me to meet some of your concubines, and get to know your brothers well, look Do you want to call your ninth brother, after all, he did nothing wrong!"

"I don't think it's necessary, just let him think about his mistakes behind closed doors, and just call the little princess..."

Zhao Guanren knew that the old guy was testing him again. Emperor Shunyao's urination could not be changed. After all, the emperor who usurped the throne was very suspicious, and his words naturally went to the old guy's heart, and he took them to the harem without hesitation. walk in.

"Kowtow to Your Majesty! The emperor bows to Jin'an..."

The ladies have already received the order to wait. When they saw Emperor Shun Yao and others enter the banquet hall, seven or eight of the highest-ranking ladies stepped forward to greet them, and Bian Xianglan and other girls were naturally among them, but this time they were really nervous. It was the first time when I saw the emperor that I didn't even dare to look straight at him.

"Let's all get up, it's an ordinary family dinner, don't be restrained..."

Emperor Shun Yao raised his head cheerfully, and walked forward with his hands behind his back, but Bian Xianglan and the other girls were taken aback suddenly, a prince in dragon robe actually helped them up with his own hands, and when they raised their heads anxiously, they realized that it was their own family. The man put on a dragon robe.

"Don't call me Daddy tonight, I have to call you Wangye tonight..."

Zhao Guanren blinked coquettishly, and the women in Zhao's mansion blushed immediately, only this guy would shamelessly speak out in public, but they were still extremely nervous, and followed Zhao Guanren inside with lowered eyebrows. Followed by more than a dozen princes and princesses.

"Wow~ What a big table..."

Zhao Guanren stepped into the banquet hall and saw a large square wooden table, enough to seat more than 30 people. The yellow satin coiled dragon table was dotted with precious stones. The shape of the vault is exactly the place where the sky is round, and you can sit and watch the mountains and rivers.

"No life! You are not an outsider, sit down and eat together..."

Emperor Shun Yao sat on the first seat. Originally, the empress was supposed to be sitting beside him, but at this time there were only two old concubines, and no one dared to sit in the empty seat. All sit on the left side.

The little princess also came naturally, but she didn't dare to make trouble today, and sat obediently beside the Seventeenth Princess, who sat neatly with a blank expression on her face, her eyes looked very empty.

"There are so many people watching..."

Zhao Guanren took the two wives to sit directly opposite the emperor, Liuliu and Luo Tan were not qualified to sit down, and Jin Wuming also sat next to Zhao Guanren, when there were at least dozens of court ladies and eunuchs in the hall, they directly surrounded them In the middle, waiting to come forward to serve at any time.

"Yunxuan! What are you picking, are you picking my gems..."

Emperor Shun Yao suddenly knocked hard on the table. The wives and children at the table were taken aback. They hurriedly sat upright and looked at Zhao Guanren. He turned his face away and didn't want to be with him.

"Hehe~ My son is doing research to see if it's real or not..."

Zhao Guanren raised his hand with a smirk, and actually picked three rubies from the tablecloth. It seemed that he was about to stuff them into his sleeves. The maids hurriedly lowered their heads, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. Only Concubine Bai Shu murmured disdainfully, Leopard!

"Look at the potential of the two of you, one is thinking about my picture, the other is thinking about my gem..."

Emperor Shunyao pointed at him and cursed Jin Wuming with a smile, and said: "The one on the right is the Lantai Bian family. This year's tribute tobacco is specially made for me. I need ten sets of hidden character cards, as well as the enlarged version. The screaming version and the royal special version will be presented earlier!"

"Okay, okay! The concubine is in command..."

Bian Xianglan got up in a panic and pinched her waist to salute. Unexpectedly, a half-grown prince suddenly got excited, stood up and said in surprise: "So you are the Bian family who opened the cigarette shop. Do you have Hei Lu Bu and the god Guan Yu? The hidden character King Kaben!" I also want a few sets, and you will send someone to the palace in the afternoon!"

"My princess wants it too, and both Water Margin and Three Kingdoms..."

The princes and princesses were all excited, only the four princes who were thinking about the crown prince's throne, holding tea bowls and pretending to be deep there, children would reach out and ask if they wanted anything from the prince when they became emperors.

"Sister-in-law! They want a royal special edition..."

The two princesses directly entangled Bian Xianglan, and the brats squeezed over together. Bian Xianglan dealt with it as if flattered. She never thought that her deceitful things would be so popular.

"Haha~"

Emperor Shun Yao waved his hands and smiled: "Go and open another table at the accompanying table, and coax your sister-in-law well. Don't tell your nineteenth brother about this kind of thing. He even dares to pick my gems. He is an iron rooster!"

"Chuan Shan! Chuan Wu..."

Eunuch Tian straightened his waist and shouted, and the royal meals were immediately brought up continuously, and the musicians were already ready, only to see a group of dancers with fat swallows and thin skin come in and dance gracefully Come.

"Old Jin! Am I ranked nineteenth? Seventeen is more than ten years older than me..."

Zhao Guanren looked at Jin Wuming in puzzlement, and Jin Wuming said in a low voice: "The emperor has 28 children in total, and several of them have died. Naturally, I have to step back, and I can call you the Nineteenth Lord in private!"

"Sister Seventeen! Brother will accompany you for a walk..."

Zhao Guanren picked up the wine glass in a humble way, Princess Yaoyue pretended not to hear it with a cold face, but Emperor Shunyao suddenly said: "Yunxuan! You have seen all the brothers in Beijing, if one day the crown prince is deposed , who do you think is useful?"

As soon as this word comes out!

Immediately, the whole audience stood in silence, eunuchs and maids lowered their heads one after another, for fear of getting into trouble, the brats at the next table didn't dare to make noise.

Although the ladies were obedient on the surface, their eyes were rolling around. Only the four eldest princes straightened their backs and stared at the table solemnly. They knew that Zhao Guanren would never answer directly, but they all hoped that People will be themselves.

"Father! You should ask my seventeenth sister..."

Zhao Guanren put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Miss Seventeen is a hero among women. She has always wanted to be strategic and courageous. If it weren't for being a daughter, no one here would be her opponent, so whoever she supports in the future, I will be optimistic about whoever she supports. , follow Seventeenth Sister to have meat to eat!"

"Haha~ It seems that I have really raised a good daughter..."

Emperor Shunyao looked at Princess Yaoyue with a half-smile, and asked: "Little Seventeen! Tell Father, which prince do you like, and just say whatever you want, gossip, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake!"

"Nineteenth brother! You really flattered my sister..."

Princess Yaoyue also smiled on the surface, looked at Zhao Guanren and said, "Father! There is no one here who can beat anyone, and the nineteenth brother can crush them to death with one finger, so my daughter is only optimistic about the nineteenth brother. In the future He will definitely inherit the great rule and ascend to the throne!"

"Sigh~"

The people at the table took a breath, not because they were scared by Yaoyue's "disrespect", but because they suddenly realized that Zhao Guanren is also a prince. If this guy jumps out to grab the throne, he seems to be able to kill all other princes get down.

Chapter 0493

"..."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall of Yushan Pavilion was strange. None of the servants in the room dared to raise their heads. The musicians were playing out of tune, the singing and dancing girls were twisted like cramps, and the faces of the princes were all gloomy, and the ladies’ faces were even more stiff as if they had just Plastic surgery.

"Yunxuan! Do you think you have the ability to be a prince..."

Emperor Shun Yao picked up his wine glass and smiled playfully. He naturally knew that Zhao Guanren was not even a wild species, but an outsider who had nothing to do with it. Canonized son.

"Father! It's not whether you can, but whether you want to..."

Zhao Guanren stood up and said with a smile: "Isn't it nice for me to be a happy prince? He has to go to the palace to deal with all kinds of problems every day, and fight with the ministers every day. What am I trying to do? Besides, my surname is Zhao, and the Chen family can do it well." Is there a prince surnamed Zhao?"

"Crack~"

Zhao Guanren suddenly walked up behind Princess Yaoyue, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Sister Seventeen! A woman is a woman, and the pattern is too small. Don't just stare at your eyes. You should say that you are optimistic about our sixth brother. He is the best backup prince!"

"I……"

The face of the sixth prince suddenly changed. It is not a good thing to call him by name at this time, but his old lady smiled and said: "Prince, why are you nervous? Your nineteenth brother is praising you. You have always been honest and honest, gentle and martial, take care of yourself!" Grinding and polishing will definitely make a great weapon!"

"Hehe~"

Princess Yaoyue patted Zhao Guanren's hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "Seventeenth brother is right, I have no experience with girls, my eldest brother and ninth brother are now grounded, our sixth brother is the biggest winner, oh no ! He should be the best candidate for the crown prince, father must be well trained!"

"I also think Lao Liu is good, filial and sensible..."

Concubine Bai Shu interjected recklessly, and Concubine Tong kicked her hastily under the table, but Emperor Shun Yao leaned back on his chair and smiled, "Yun Xuan! You and Si Ni are really good, but I I have to listen to your opinion, don't push your seventeenth sister!"

"Father! Since it's a family banquet, the minister there is talking nonsense..."

Zhao Guanren spread his hands and said: "Although the tiger father has no dogs, the two cubs have already been grounded. None of you here can beat them. Why? The tigers that grew up in the cage are not tigers, but just pompous domestic cats. A small county magistrate outside would Can play them to death!"

"Presumptuous! Who do you call a cat..."

The four princes rose up at the same time, and the biological mothers also gritted their teeth angrily, but Princess Yaoyue gloated and said with a gleeful smile: "Whoever speaks up is a cat. You have never been slaughtered, and you can't even wear your own clothes. Wanting to be a prince is ridiculous!"

"Father! I've offended people, and the last thing to say..."

Zhao Guanren smiled again: "If Dashun wants to last forever, you will give them 50 taels each, and only send two guards to follow. You are not allowed to reveal your identity, and you are not allowed to assist secretly. After a year, we will see who is begging and who is at the banquet." Guests, the candidate for the crown prince is clear at a glance!"

"Ten taels?"

A prince said angrily: "Why don't you say five taels, 50 taels and you'll be gone after two meals. I think you don't have back pain while standing and talking. If you are capable, you can live for a year with 50 taels!"

"It seems that you brothers don't know me well..."

Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "When I first arrived in Lantai, I was robbed completely, even my hair was strangled. The county magistrate of Lantai can testify for me. I entered the county with my butt naked. Three and a half months later, I Come here, have a drink and chat with your brothers!"

"You lied! How is this possible..."

The sixth prince also pointed at him angrily, but Yaoyue taunted him again: "You haven't even figured out his background, and you still dare to talk nonsense here. Fortunately, the nineteenth brother's surname is Zhao. If his surname is Chen, you can go out even There is no chance to beg for food!"

"Yun Xuan is right, you can't raise a tiger in a cage..."
