Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Xu Huaiyi's words were enough to make several people in the room think about it, but if he continued to say it, he was a bit too sensitive. Just when the waiter brought the dishes, Su Zhe started to prepare them enthusiastically. Everyone followed his words and raised their chopsticks to eat. .

Chun Shui Lou is expensive for a reason. The dishes are not only exquisitely prepared, but also taste excellent. For a while, no one could care about chatting anymore.

After the food was over, a young waiter came in and whispered a few words into Su Zhe's ear. After he went out, Su Zhe didn't hide anything, "The Crown Prince of Chu is here and he's eating in the private room next to us." .”

The King of Chu is the uncle of the current emperor, but the actual age difference between the two is only one year. The King of Chu is the youngest son of the founding grandfather, and he is also the legitimate son. Unfortunately, when the great grandfather died, he was too young and the throne He gave it to the wise king at that time, the late emperor, who reigned for more than 20 years, and later passed it on to the current Emperor Jianxing.

Emperor Jianxing was the second son. The eldest brother missed the throne due to leg disease and was granted the title of King of Qin. He usually raised flowers, plants, and birds, and lived a very happy life.

Speaking of which, there are only a few people who are crowned kings in Beijing now, but they all keep a low profile and don't have much to do. Only the King of Chu holds the title of Zong Ling and is in charge of the affairs of the Zong family, but he is a good old man. He is smiling all day long, and no one in the royal family is very afraid of him. However, in recent years, the royal family has not done anything messy.

This prince of the Prince of Chu is very similar to his father. He is very popular and does not offend anyone. He speaks with a smile and is very friendly to others.

However, no matter how friendly they are, they are not people who can make friends casually due to their current status. Therefore, after Su Zhe said it, no one had any reaction. They continued to eat when they should, and continued to drink when they should. Only sensitive topics were not mentioned again.

There are ears against the partition wall.

Who wants to have enough wine and food? When everyone left, as soon as they walked out of the private room door, they bumped into Yuan Ting, the eldest son of King Chu.

Behind him was another person who was romantic and passionate. He looked like a master in love at first sight. He was waving his fan in the cold winter and looking at the group of them meaningfully.

That look was really uncomfortable.

On the other hand, the gentle smile on the face of the Prince of Chu made people feel like a spring breeze.

Su Zhe stepped forward and saluted, and the others just followed his lead.

According to the rules, after seeing the ceremony, it was time to leave. Unexpectedly, Yuan Ting seemed to be very interested in their group. He took Su Zhe and chatted for a few words, and asked them their names one by one. After greetings, Just returned to the private room.

Xu Huaiyi did not raise his head from beginning to end, acting very honest and low-key. He only looked at Yuan Ting calmly when he turned around.

Well, it looks like a human being, but I don’t know what’s going on inside.

When going downstairs, Zhao Sanyou said in a low voice, "The Prince of Chu seems to have no airs at all. He is very courteous and virtuous. No wonder he has such a good reputation among scholars..."

Although Yuan Ting was a member of the royal family, he studied at the Imperial Academy for several years and wrote many articles and poems that were circulated.

Su Zhe smiled and said nothing.

Wang Qiusheng reminded in a low voice, "Members of the royal family, it's better for us to talk less."

Zhao Sanyou pursed his lips and fell silent.

Xu Huaiyi asked curiously, "Who is that young master who is following the Crown Prince of Chu? He looks strange..."

Su Zhe took the words and said, "Meng Zhonglou, the second master of Uncle Pingyuan's Mansion."

Xu Huaiyi suddenly said "Oh", it turned out to be him, and then he was curious. This was the biological father of the head of Ping'an County. The Meng family had their own agenda. They had already stuffed the Meng family's daughter into the eldest prince's palace as a concubine. Why? Is it related to the Prince of Chu's Mansion again?

Could it be that the two princes and princes of Chu are not bad at getting along?

"What are you thinking about?" Su Zhe asked curiously.

Xu Huaiyi smiled and said casually, "I just feel that it is a bit inconsistent for the two of them to stand together. I feel that they are not people who can play together."

Su Zhe was thoughtful after hearing this.

After returning to the dormitory from Chunshui Tower, Li Yunting asked, "Did you say anything about the Qingzhou disaster victims in the private room on purpose?"

Xu Huaiyi's heart moved, but he had to pretend to be innocent on his face, "No, I just thought of it and mentioned it casually."

Li Yunting looked at him steadily. Although he didn't speak, his eyes said everything. If he didn't notice, how could he cooperate?

Seeing this, Xu Huaiyi couldn't pretend anymore and said helplessly, "If you see through it but don't tell it, we are still good brothers."

Hearing this, a smile flashed in Li Yunting's eyes, "Don't worry, I won't publicize it to you, but why did you tell Su Zhe? Do you want the second prince to take care of this matter? But he may not be willing to wade into this muddy water."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Xu Huaiyi simply said, "The incident in Dengzhou may involve the third prince, and the disappearance of the victims in Qingzhou may be related to the fourth prince. This is a good opportunity to seize the opportunity. Even if he is aware of the danger, he may not be able to stop it. lure."

After all, in the eyes of the princes, the eldest prince has been eliminated early, and the other princes are too young to worry about. As long as the third prince and the fourth prince are defeated, the throne can only belong to the second prince. Besides, the second prince is still the legitimate son. Well, it couldn’t be more justified.

The Su family placed bets on him early for this reason.

Li Yunting nodded, "Then why did you intervene? Don't you want to stand in line?"

Xu Huaiyi said matter-of-factly, "I don't take sides, but I'm afraid of chaos. The civil unrest in Dengzhou can be suppressed by sending troops, but those victims who disappeared for no reason in Qingzhou, if they are really taken advantage of, who knows how big the trouble will be." Chaos? I still want to have a stable official career, but I don’t want to wait until we stand in the court and have no energy to defend our family and the country, and just accompany some bastards to scheming. With that free time, I want to think more about how to feed and clothe the people. It’s so warm.”

Li Yunting frowned, "Are you suspecting that... someone is using the victims to raise troops?"

Xu Huaiyi glanced at him speechlessly, "Do you know there is a word called tacit understanding?"

Li Yunting raised the corners of his lips, making a rare joke, "Isn't there a tacit understanding?"

Xu Huaiyi rubbed his arms exaggeratedly, looking like he couldn't stand him.

Li Yunting smiled and asked, "How many people do you estimate there will be?"

When Xu Huaiyi heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn, "I don't know, but just counting the victims, there must be at least about 10,000."

He paused and continued, "Besides, what I'm afraid of is that this isn't the beginning."

Who knows when the other side raised troops? If it lasts for several years, the number of troops will not be small.

Li Yunting understood, frowned, thought for a while, and said pointedly, "The year before last, there was a flood in the south. I remember that the number of deaths reported was not a small number..."

Xu Huaiyi waved his hand, "Stop talking. The more you talk, the more flustered you are. Let the second prince investigate. We can't touch him. You must not do anything like using a mantis as a car. If you can remind him, you have a conscience."

Li Yunting teased, "Then the second prince has to thank you?"

Used it as his knife.

Xu Huaiyi didn't feel guilty at all, "He did it for himself. It's their royal family's business. We are outsiders and don't get involved."

If you have good things to do, think of your master, they belong to you. If you have troubles, of course you should leave them to outsiders.
