The Major General's Country Wife

In the study room of the imperial palace, Emperor Renhe heard his spies report that Xu Guogong and Prime Minister He met in front of the Duke's mansion today.

Although I don't know what they were talking about, it was obvious that Prime Minister He was wronged, or even fell into a disadvantage.

He couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, but when he heard the golden knife bestowed by the imperial court, his eyes were dim and there was a faint anger on his face.

Afterwards, a series of orders were issued, looking for royal records, scolding the empress, and announced that the second prince didn't know what to say.

Only a faint roar could be heard from the Imperial Study Room, and then the Emperor went to the Empress Dowager's Palace to hold everyone back and talk in secret for a long time.

When Xu Changfeng heard the news, he didn't react much, but he invited the guards who were friendly with him to drink again that night.

All the sources of his current information in the palace were provided by them, and they aroused their sympathy because of everything that happened in his mansion.

No one concealed the news they got or the things about the Duke's Mansion, and they all disclosed it to Xu Changfeng in a timely manner.

It's not that no one remembers the achievements of several generations of the Duke's Mansion, but it's just that no one stands out and no one speaks out.

Facing the imperial family's superficial calmness, the prime minister's mansion silently backed down, and the Duke's mansion ushered in a few more days of peace, but Yun Changsheng was not idle.

He also passed on the order one after another, and any news about the second prince and the prime minister's mansion reached his ears.

As a result, the Second Prince and the Prime Minister's Mansion soon faced various attacks and sabotages. No matter what it was, Yun Changsheng participated in it.

Because the Duke's Mansion did not dispatch a single person, it was completely done by him in secret, and no one found any information, so that the two governments were completely baffled.

"boom."

"Clap."

The second prince hit the table with a fist, and then swept all the things on the table to the ground, with a frightening expression on his face.

"Check, check again." The second prince yelled angrily, pointing at the trembling subordinates on the opposite side and said: "If you can't find out again, you don't have to come back."

"Yes yes yes." Several subordinates pleaded guilty one after another, "Second prince forgive me, my subordinates must go to investigate and find out who is hiding in the dark."

"Get out." The second prince was furious, his chest heaved violently, his eyes were like a fire-breathing tyrannosaurus, and his blood-red eyes were ready to eat people at any time.

"Second prince, calm down." A young man in white, He Feiqiong, the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, said: "The more this is the time, the more you can't mess yourself up. You must stay steady so that the other party doesn't know if everything has been cut off."

The second prince gradually calmed down. It is not surprising that he himself has a little power, mainly relying on the prime minister's residence, and the prime minister's residence suffered the most.

He was silent for a while, and said: "There have been too many things recently, and I didn't realize that someone was secretly doing sabotage. If it wasn't for the mid-autumn festival approaching, and the congratulatory gifts were intercepted, we would still be kept in the dark."

He Feiqiong's face was also calm, it had never happened before, no wonder no one was alert, not to mention so many things happened in just a few days.

They were really caught off guard, so that they had no clue to find the mastermind behind the scenes, and they didn't know why these things happened inexplicably.

Information channels, all contacts with the outside world of Kyoto, as well as some of their secret arrangements, and some people who serve them hidden in the depths.

Everything has been dug up and destroyed without leaving any traces.

The most hateful thing is that all their sources of income and various business channels were destroyed and scattered at the same time, which was another fatal blow.

"There is no movement in the Duke's Mansion." He Feiqiong said quietly: "Except for their ability in the north and in the army, they have never been involved in other things and will not have anything to do with them."

"Hmph." The second prince said disdainfully and contemptuously: "Guogong Mansion? There is no one who can do one of these things, and there is no outstanding descendant. Even Xu Changfeng is just a reckless man."

In his heart, if Xu Changfeng had a bit of city power, he would not openly confront him, and if he had a bit of enterprising spirit, he would not value a man's wife.

These are the reasons why he deeply despises the Duke's Mansion. There is no one who can be of great use. As for marching and fighting, there is no war now.

Moreover, he recruits talents from all over the world, and there are many generals in the army. He can have soldiers to use without the Duke's Mansion, and he even disdains the in-laws of the Duke's Mansion.

At the same time, he was also afraid that his father would be suspicious again someday, because this little bit of no benefit would cause him suspicion for no reason.

It's just that this marriage was proposed by his father, he has no way to object, he can only express his dissatisfaction from various aspects, which is incompatible with the Duke's mansion.

He Feiqiong naturally understood that these things were planned by them, and they must keep a distance from the Duke's Mansion, and they must not leave any excuses for the emperor or anyone else.

Don't you know that what they have done is in the hands of the Duke of China, and there is no need to deliberately distance themselves from the princes, so that people will attack and criticize them for plotting wrongdoing, leaving hidden dangers for the Duke of China.

"There is no movement from the eldest prince, who could it be?" He Feiqiong continued to speculate that if this matter is not resolved, all their external forces will be eradicated in time.

All the income has been cut off, even if Prime Minister He is there, how much use will the courtiers give to support.

"Eldest prince?" The second prince shook his head, "He's not that capable yet, what can a concubine be as stupid as a noble concubine do? Even if the Tai Tuo can compete with the grandfather in some respects, he is absolutely inferior in other respects."

Suddenly, He Feiqiong's heart moved, the power of the Tai Tuo and them was very different, the most important point was the source of money, "Where is the Minister of the Household Department?"

"Concubine Jiang?" The second prince looked at He Feiqiong, "The fourth prince is only 13 years old, how can there be any chance for them to compete?"

"But the emperor has no plans to set up a reserve position now." He Feiqiong said: "No one should be underestimated, no one will not have extravagant hopes for that position."

Then he smiled again and said: "Maybe the third prince is the only exception. People who don't have the slightest possibility live magnanimously instead."

What he meant was that in order to leave the palace, he actually asked in front of the head of the royal family, and let everything be laid out in front of others, without any secrets.

Naturally, the second prince also thought this way. He didn't pay attention to the only eldest prince who was able to compete with him, let alone the slightest suspicion of the third prince.

He didn't even pay attention to the fourth prince and his family who had the Minister of the Household Department. How could a candidate who was worse than the first prince have the ability to fight on his own.

For a person who doesn't know what to do, the second prince doesn't think about it at all. If he pushes it down, he doesn't need to do it himself.

There are queen mothers in the palace who suppress those concubines, and grandpa He Chengxiang takes care of everything outside. As long as I am not mediocre, everything is not a problem.

The second prince squeezed his forehead, even Prime Minister He couldn't find the person who was behind the destruction of their power, and they couldn't even find a suspicious target.

They were racking their brains here, but Yun Changsheng was lying on the wall talking happily with the third prince at this time. Under the bright moonlight, when they talked about their joy, faint laughter wafted around.

Fortunately, it was a quiet night, and it was a boring corner of the Plum Garden. No one would notice or think that there would be people talking about unexpected events here.

The third prince sighed, looking at Yun Changsheng's cheerful smiling face, he said, "I guess no one would have thought that these things were all done by you, if you don't tell them, it should be an unsolved case."

"Hahaha." Yun Changsheng said with a smile: "The issue of identity, a country boy, and a reckless man who is considered to be a no-brainer in the army, plus the government's low-key and non-interference in government affairs, who would have thought of it. "

"Indeed." The third prince knew that these protective colors would really bring confusion to people, not to mention that these things were done secretly by Yun Changsheng and Xu Changfeng, and no one even the Duke's Mansion knew about them.

"I just want to kill them by surprise." Yun Changsheng said: "Let them have nothing but the government, but now we have to stop. It will take some time until they build up the news channel and pick up those financial resources."

"Those secret organizations, asking you to get rid of them is the most troublesome thing for them." The third prince said.

"That's true." Yun Changsheng understood, "Cultivating one's own manpower cannot be done overnight. It is easy to exchange news and sources of money with those officials outside."

"Okay." Xu Changfeng stood under the wall, listened to his chatter, and stopped him: "The night is dark, let's rest early."

"Okay." Yun Changsheng turned his head to look at Xu Changfeng who was waiting by the dim light of the night, smiled and waved goodbye to the third prince, "Let's stop for now and let them find the people behind the scenes."

"It is estimated that they will spare no effort." The third prince smiled and held a lantern: "It's just that they can't do what they wish, so I'm very sorry."

Yun Changsheng laughed, the third prince's occasional humor was particularly appetizing to him, "You can rest for a while, and you can wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet with peace of mind. I hope they can come up with rare gifts."

"Wait and see." The third prince was unnatural for a moment, and passed by under the cover of night, saying goodbye to Yun Changsheng without any hesitation and leaving in a hurry.

"You." Yun Changsheng climbed down the ladder, Xu Changfeng tapped his forehead a few times, and said: "Third Prince, there is no possibility of attending the banquet, he has always been forgotten."

"Uh." Yun Changsheng was dumb, how did he know these things, "Now that he has left the house, should he still be ignored?"

"Didn't you see what the Third Prince's Mansion looks like?" Xu Changfeng took Yun Changsheng's hand and walked slowly under the silent moonlight.

Tell Yun Changsheng little by little what he has discovered recently, as well as the life of the third prince in the palace for many years.

"I didn't expect that." Yun Changsheng's face changed color for the first time, "The deep palace cannibalizes people and has no humanity at all. It's not groundless."

How could he have thought that the third prince couldn't even eat, and without Xu He's dedication to protect him, he might really die in the deep palace if he was given food and drink.

Yun Changsheng turned his head and saw that the Third Prince's Mansion, separated by a wall, was in a barren state, and besides the two people who followed him out of the palace, there was no one serving him.

"That's fine." Xu Changfeng turned his head back, and said, "The more the Third Prince is ignored, the better. No one will doubt the persecution. It is worthwhile to be able to guarantee safety and suffer."

"Yes." Yun Changsheng said with a sudden smile: "Just like us, no one knows that in just a few days, we have done something no one dared to imagine."

"Not only can we face everyone calmly, we will not be suspected or feared, and we will even cause trouble and suspicion to others, so we don't need to make troubles."

"Yeah." Xu Changfeng smiled faintly, "The palace will be lively soon, let's watch the show quietly."
