Jade of Rebirth

After Huo Zhang left, Yuan Heng and Yu Li returned to the inner hall, Yuan Heng asked Yu Li while there was no one around:

"Just now when you heard A Zhang say that the father might send important ministers or the prince there, I saw your thoughtful face, did you think of something?"

Yu Li nodded: "I remember that King Ning's uncle Xie Xun is the Minister of the Household Department. If the father really wants to send important ministers, it is very likely that he will be sent. Then, will the crown prince and King Jing take the opportunity to recommend him?" King Ning go together?"

Yuan Heng pulled him to sit down on Luohan's bed, raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, the two of them will unite to let Sixth Brother go? But Sixth Brother's ability to handle affairs has always been excellent, if he is allowed to go, it's just for him to go." It's just a chance for him to shine."

Yu Li shook his head: "No, if this happened in the capital city, it would naturally be a great opportunity to show off your talents, but..."

Once Yuan Heng was reminded by him, he also thought of the key point, and said: "You mean, the reason why he was sent to Liangzhou City, so..."

"Exactly." Yu Li Mansheng analyzed for him, "If King Ning is away from the capital for a long time, he will not be able to participate in the affairs of the capital... You know the story of Fusu, right? It is because he is not with the first emperor that he is given If you get Hu Hai, you can take advantage of this opportunity, otherwise, when you become emperor, how can you get Hu Hai?"

Yuan Heng thought for a while, and felt that it made sense, and said: "If Sixth Brother is pushed out of the imperial court, after a long time, it is inevitable that it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the center of the imperial court."

Yu Li didn't know how to tell Yuan Heng about his past life, and naturally he couldn't say that Yuan Ying was kind to him in his previous life, so he could only say: "You and King Ning are in the same breath, if King Ning loses power, I'm afraid we won't be able to save him." So I think, if the time comes and there is really no other way, why don't you come forward and go to Liangzhou for disaster relief instead of King Ning, and the left and right fathers and emperors will send other ministers to follow, so you don't have to worry about not doing well. And you are sixteen years old, If one or two merits can be established, maybe the title of king may be just around the corner."

He remembered that in the previous life, Yuan Heng was only crowned king when he was 19 years old, probably because Yuan Heng didn't care about political affairs, and didn't take part in such things. Without credit, he had to wait until he was an adult before he could become king.

Yuan Heng raised his lips to look at him: "You want me to become king as soon as possible?"

Yu Li nodded: "Power is like a murderous sword. We can hold it in our hands, but we don't let it unsheathed to kill people. It is only used for self-defense. This is called taking precautions before they happen, and taking precautions so that we don't become mermaids."

Yuan Heng smiled, and the brilliance of her phoenix eyes flowed: "Okay, if you want it, I'll get it for you."

……

Two days later, Emperor Zhang Wu really summoned the seven princes again.

Yuan Heng, the youngest among the seven princes, was already 16 years old, and he was able to get in touch with and discuss politics.

In Emperor Zhangwu's Qihui Palace, seven princes sat in a formation of wild geese on both sides. Their clothes were different in color and style, but they all reflected their own personalities:

The prince is feminine and deep, and the bright yellow prince's python robe added to his body not only failed to bring out his masculinity, but made him more feminine and restrained, like a dangerous and vicious dragon crouching in a deep pool.The third prince Jing Wang Yuanmin is handsome and heroic, but full of ambitions. He is dressed in a black round-neck boa robe, which makes him very powerful and daunting.The Fifth Prince Kang Wang Yuanqi wore a dark green brocade jacket with back patterns, and his gorgeous and noble features were full of arrogance, and he kept squinting at Yuanying who was opposite him from the corner of his eyes.Yuan Ying sat at the bottom of Yuan Min, opposite to Yuan Qi, wearing a dark blue gown with cloud patterns on the front, he was already mature and handsome, but this outfit made him more gentle and steady, like a gentleman like jade.The Eighth Prince Yuan Rui sat on his lower head, wearing a crow blue brocade jacket with narrow sleeves, his black hair all tied up, if it wasn't for the nobleness on his body, he would have looked like a general.The Seventh Prince Yuan Zhen sat opposite him, just like him, his clothes and color were ordinary brown brocade clothes, very low-key.Sitting at the lower head of Yuan Rui, diagonally opposite to Yuan Zhen, is the Ninth Prince Yuan Heng.He was wearing a bright red slanted boa robe, and this dark red matched his aloofness.

"I called you all here today because I need to ask your opinions on something very important." Emperor Zhang Wu sat at the head, saw that the seven sons were silent, and said, "You probably know that Liangzhou The matter is very urgent and imminent, and I intend to send a trustworthy minister to rescue and investigate the disaster, but there are factional disputes among the Chinese and military officials in the court, and the court has been fighting for a long time today, but there is no result."

Looking at the different expressions on the faces of the seven sons, he said again: "Today, a minister suggested that since it is impossible to decide on a candidate, it is better to let a prince replace me. After thinking about it, I also think this method is very appropriate. First of all, I can trust each of you, and second, this case can also test your ability to handle affairs. Here, if you do a good job, I will definitely reward you. Among you, who is interested and willing to take on this important task?"

The princes looked at each other, and it was Ning Wang Yuanying who spoke first. He looked at the prince and said with a slight smile:

"Father, as the crown prince and the elder brother of us younger brothers, the second elder brother should not give in. What's more, the second elder brother has always been capable, and he will definitely live up to the father's expectations."

Emperor Zhang Wu was a little surprised, but soon calmed down, and asked: "Then according to Lao Liu, you are recommending Yuan Chen to go?"

Hearing this, the prince stared at Yuan Ying firmly.

Yuan Ying said solemnly: "Father Huang Shengming, but I not only want to recommend my second brother to go, but also want to go with my second brother, so that I can share my worries for my second brother, and learn from him, and think of him when I see him."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised, and everyone looked surprised.

The crown prince Yuan Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he narrowed his beautiful and uplifting Danfeng eyes slightly, with disdain in his eyes... He knew that Yuan Ying was afraid that he would recommend him, so he acted first, and in order not to leave his father behind With a bad impression, he recommended himself and proposed to go with him. In this way, if he asked Yuan Ying to go again, it would be inappropriate.

But if he really wants to go with Yuanying, he is absolutely unwilling, he has always regarded King Jing and King Ning as thorns in the flesh, if he has to go to Liangzhou with him, he might as well tell him to die.Therefore, he immediately turned his head and glanced at Kang Wang on the right.

Kang Wang Yuanqi saw that his crown prince brother looked disgusted after eating flies, and quickly said to Emperor Zhang Wu: "Father, the prince brother is the heir of the country, it is not appropriate for him to take the risk, otherwise the people will laugh at us how many times." This younger brother is incompetent, so he needs the crown prince to take the lead in everything." As he spoke, he glanced at King Ning and said, "The sixth younger brother is talented, and what he said just now is just self-effacement. According to what Erchen saw, the sixth younger brother is most suitable to go. But, what's more, Mr. Xie Xun, Minister of the Household Department, is the uncle of the sixth younger brother's direct relative, wouldn't it be wonderful if the two of them went together?"

King Jing, who had been watching from the sidelines, heard this, and immediately echoed, "Fifth brother is right. We can see that the sixth brother is outstanding. He is mature and steady, and has always been reliable in his work. It is the most suitable for him to save the people and find out corruption." .”

The two sang together, leaving King Ning no room to refuse.

Seeing this, the prince immediately smiled respectfully at Emperor Zhang Wu and said, "Father, since the brothers all think that it is best for the sixth brother to go, why not let the sixth brother go with Mr. Xie?" Then, without waiting for Emperor Zhang Wu After answering, he said to King Ning, "Sixth brother, this time is not only an opportunity for you to show your talent and ability, but also a time to train you. You have been crowned king when you were young, and you have not made any achievements. This is the time to let those who doubt you have nothing to say." Time to talk, right?"

When the prince said this, he used both soft and hard methods, and paid equal attention to kindness and power, which was extremely ingenious.

Emperor Zhang Wu looked at King Ning, and he also agreed with this point of view in his heart. King Yuanying Feng has been around for more than a year, but he has not made any major achievements. There are also ministers who question him. Fan, let this title really deserve it... Emperor Zhang Wu thought so, and was about to say something, when Yuan Heng, who was sitting at the bottom, stood up, said a few words "ahhh", and then asked Emperor Zhang Wu gestured.

The prince, Kang Wang and others looked at him contemptuously, thinking, you are a dumb, why join in the fun!

Yuan Ying looked at him carefully, and when she understood, she asked in surprise, "Ninth Brother, what do you mean, do you want to go?"

Yuan Heng nodded.

"I object!" Kang Wang stood up first, with excitement and a little disdain on his face, "Father, the ninth brother is inconvenient for him to speak, how to arrange affairs? How to appease the people? Sending a mute to go, it is impossible to let the world Are you laughing at me that there is no one in the royal family!"

Yuan Heng glanced at Kang Wang with phoenix eyes, then turned around and left.

Emperor Zhang Wu thought he was heartbroken by Yuan Qi's words, but who expected him to come in soon, followed by his bodyguard Shui Longyin.

Then I saw what Yuan Heng said to Shui Longyin with his lips, Shui Longyin nodded, and said to Emperor Zhang Wu and the other princes: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness Ninth Prince said that although he can't speak, there are subordinates to replace him." He said that all the princes have their own positions in the capital, but he feels that he has been idle, so he wants to do his best for His Majesty."

Emperor Zhang Wu saw his forbearance just now, and knew that although he couldn't speak, he had a strong self-esteem, and he would never let others look down on him, let alone be a useless person because he couldn't speak.

Therefore, without waiting for the crown prince and others to say anything, he said: "Since you volunteered, the emperor will allow you to go, but the emperor will send more people to go with you at that time, you are not allowed to refuse."

Yuan Heng beamed with joy, and bowed to the emperor.

The crown prince failed to push King Ning out, and felt that Emperor Zhang Wu was too partial to Yuan Heng. Although Yuan Heng was dumb, it made him very unhappy, so he gave Yuan Heng a hateful look, planning in his heart, and had to think about it. way to remove him.

Ning Wang Yuanying knew that Yuan Heng took the initiative to invite Ying for her own sake, so she couldn't help feeling grateful, but it was not the time to speak at this time, so she gave him a grateful look.

Yuan Heng smiled slightly at Yuan Ying, his appearance was very cute and sincere.

... He can be regarded as having completed the task given to him by the concubine, but he also has some entanglements in his heart... If he wants to go to Liangzhou, should he bring Li Er with him?

If not, they are newlyweds, and he really can't let him go.If he brought it with him, it would be dangerous to go there, not to mention that the conditions would be difficult for disaster relief, and he would not bear him to endure hardship...

How should it be done?
