Ten thousand people suspect that cannon fodder does not want to save themselves

Everyone present, including Shen Rongci, was stunned by Gu Chiyuan's unexpected punch.

The civil servants behind the prince panicked and supported him, looking at Gu Chiyuan in disbelief: "Prince Shu, you—how can you beat His Highness the Prince in public?"

The prince pushed the civil servant away, raised his hand and casually wiped the corner of his mouth that was broken by his teeth, and smiled nonchalantly.

But this punch seemed to knock the prince's unrestrained attitude away, and he returned to his usual polite and gentle posture, turning back to the second prince nine years ago, as if the episode just now had never happened.

He said to Gu Chiyuan: "I haven't seen you for a few days, the fifth brother has become more irritable. Why, can't I just exchange a few words with the young general?"

Gu Chiyuan looked at him coldly, as if looking at a lunatic.

Seeing that he seemed to want to punch the prince a few more times, Shen Rongci quickly stepped forward to block between the two, and said to the prince, "Is the prince's injury serious? In the end, there will be a good medicine for sores here..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Chiyuan grabbed his left hand.

"The crown prince is in the East Palace. Are there any medicines? Presumably there is no shortage of such a small box of gold sore medicine." These words were addressed to the crown prince.

When Shen Rongci turned around, he saw his somewhat angry face.

——What is he angry about?

Before he could figure it out, the prince on the other side pulled his right hand over.

The corners of the prince's mouth were red and swollen, but that didn't stop him from putting on a gentle smile: "Fifth Brother, what you said is wrong. The East Palace has everything, except the box of golden sore medicine in the hands of the Major General. Major General, the corners of my mouth hurt too much. Please don’t leave any scars, and please take Ben Gong to the medicine.”

The two brothers pulled Shen Rongci in the middle, one from the left and the other from the right. One side was cold as ice, while the spring breeze was warm. On the surface, it seemed calm, but in fact, there was a dark tide behind it. let go.

The civil and military officials behind the two sides looked left and right, and no one dared to step forward to intervene. They only felt that the scene was so exciting—it would be even better if General Shen, who was sandwiched in the middle, was replaced by the Jade Seal .

Even Qin Laoliu and the others did not dare to discuss casually, and stared at the scene in front of them dumbfounded.

At the same time, the same feeling emerged in my heart: my major general is really popular.

Before the two could decide the winner, Shen Rongci was annoyed by the two of them, and directly pulled his arm away from the shackles of the two.

But it was also because of the rivalry between the brothers that he realized that he had to take a stand.Especially when all civil and military officials are present.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Rongci made a choice.

He took a step towards the prince, and said to Gu Chiyuan: "Prince forgiveness, it is disrespectful for you to beat the prince in public. Instead of apologizing, you are still talking about it. Do you have half respect for your brother?"

Gu Chiyuan looked at him, his face was so dark that water could almost drip.

But Shen Rongci inexplicably felt that there was a hint of grievance in those phoenix eyes.

I should have thought too much.

He suppressed the unbearable feeling in his heart, staggered his eyes and stopped looking at Gu Chiyuan.

At this time, the crown prince was acting as a peacemaker, and he stood up with a very brotherly and respectful appearance and said: "Forget it, I didn't mean to think that my fifth brother did it on purpose. Young General Shen doesn't have to get angry with him over such a trivial matter. Gong Tong took a carriage into the palace to meet the saint, and helped me treat the wound by the way."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Gu Chiyuan, who had dark eyes, intentionally or unintentionally: "But I can't see where I am injured, so I have to trouble the Major General to apply the medicine for me personally."

Shen Rongci responded, and followed the prince into his carriage.

When the car curtain was lowered and it was confirmed that no one could see them, Shen Rongci consciously distanced himself from the prince.

The prince didn't seem to notice his deliberate alienation, he stretched his head over and said with a smile, "Come on, Major General."

Shen Rongci took out the golden sore medicine and handed it to him, absent-mindedly said: "The general is a rough man, and his attack is neither serious nor serious. I'm afraid it will hurt you, His Royal Highness, you should take the medicine yourself."

The prince stared at him without speaking, although the corners of his mouth maintained a gentle arc, Shen Rongci always felt that his heart had been seen through by the other party.

Fortunately, the crown prince didn't insist on him helping to apply the medicine, he opened the medicine box and wiped it on his mouth casually, before returning it to Shen Rongci.

Shen Rongci looked at the bustling scene of people coming and going outside the car window, and couldn't help feeling worried.After all, after entering the palace and face-to-face, and completing the handover ceremony of the soldier talisman, it will be the celebration banquet prepared by the emperor.

At that time, those three talented people will also attend the banquet, and it is impossible to guarantee that they will not ask about the things he did after sneaking into the mansion.And he had no choice but to choose one of these three people and ask the Holy One to marry Lin Lin.

And no matter which talented person becomes Chongning's son-in-law or Princess Shuyuan's son-in-law, it means the merger of the two big families, and it is a force that no one should underestimate.At this time, which prince's camp Shen Rongci stood in meant that which prince had a greater chance of winning.

It also means that the prince will become the target of public criticism.

In order to get Gu Chiyuan out, he had to create the illusion that he was in the prince's camp, and meeting talented people in private was to buy people's hearts for the prince.

"Since the major general is in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han, why bother to pretend to be close to me?"

The prince looked at his pensive profile, and suddenly spoke.

Although Shen Rongci expected that the prince would see through his poor acting skills sooner or later, he did not expect him to point it out so directly.

That being the case, if that Mingren didn't speak dark words, there was no need for him to cover up.

After contemplating for a moment, Shen Rongci asked back: "Then why did the prince act so frivolously to deliberately provoke Prince Shu?"

The prince looked at him in surprise, instead of being angry because of his confession, a look of excitement flashed across his eyes.

"How do you know that that's not the truest appearance of this palace?"

"what?"

"This Palace likes the Major General very much. If the Major General is willing to rein in the precipice, I will be very happy. If he ascends to the throne in the future, the position below one person and above ten thousand must be the Major General."

I really don't know why.

The conversation between Shen Rongci and the prince ended up unhappy - the prince was not showing his emotions and anger, and he didn't know his true thoughts, but Shen Rongci really felt very unhappy.

After handing over the military talisman to the emperor in the main hall, some civil servants came forward and criticized Prince Shu for being disrespectful to the prince, and for losing the dignity of the heavenly family.

In fact, the scars on the prince's face are so obvious that anyone with a discerning eye should see the clues.Naturally, the emperor also asked a question at the beginning, but the prince only said that he accidentally fell down.

The emperor reprimanded the prince lightly and didn't ask any more questions, so immediately some civil servants from the princeling party stood up to fight the injustice.

The prince really planted a good mine.

In this way, others will only think that he is protecting Prince Shu, and he doesn't want to hurt his brother's friendship with a little thing; he even compares Prince Shu who beat the prince and disobeyed his brother to the mud.

The nature of the prince's own complaint and others' exposure is completely different.Even if the emperor intended to give him a lighter punishment, Gu Chiyuan would have to accept severe punishment if he was intervened by the civil servants.

Sure enough, the prince pretended to say a few good words for Gu Chiyuan: "It's my son who said something that shouldn't be said, and it's his own fault to annoy the fifth younger brother. What's more, the wound looks scary, but it's just a scrape." A little skinny, Chen Yushi somewhat made a fuss over a molehill."

Chen Yushi snorted coldly, looked across the hall, and met Gu Chiyuan's gaze neither humble nor overbearing: "His Royal Highness is the East Palace, even if he really said something that made Prince Shu unhappy, Prince Shu shouldn't do such disobedience thing."

Gu Chiyuan just stood there quietly, watching the two people in the middle of the hall sang together, like a bystander who had nothing to do with himself.

Compared with nine years ago, the emperor looked much older, and his temples were stained white.The handover ceremony didn't last long, and a look of exhaustion was already showing on his face.

"What did the crown prince say that made Prince Shu so disrespectful that he did it directly without even saying a word?"

"I want to report to my father, I feel that my fifth younger brother is old but still a lonely person, I feel a little bit unbearable, so I said a few more words... It's really my meddling, my father should punish me."

After the prince finished speaking, he knelt down straight down, as if he was being punished.

"It should be a good thing for the prince to care about his brothers. How can it be a fault? Forgive the prince, you can say it yourself."

Shen Rongci did not expect the prince to lie in front of the emperor so brazenly, he was a little startled, but more of a cold heart.

There are so many officials in the hall, most of them followed the crown prince to the city gate to meet the army today, if not fully grasping the situation at that time, they understood some details.

The prince dared to turn black and white in front of so many people, but no one dared to stand up and refute his words.

But thinking about it, the crown prince is powerful, and he is also the most likely candidate to become a great treasure. Who would take the risk of speaking for an unfavored Prince Shu even at the risk of offending the crown prince?

None of the Manchu officials dared to speak up.

Shen Rongci just happened to be present today, but how many times did this happen during the nine years he was away from the capital?

He could have stood behind Gu Chiyuan and become his support, but he chose another path.

Shen Rongci pushed the back molars with the tip of his tongue, and took a step forward.

At this moment, Gu Chiyuan, who had been silent all this time, said, "His Royal Highness knows that the new Khan of the Grassland Tribe intends to get married, and also knows the Khan's favorite candidate. Why did you bring up the matter of marriage in front of me for no reason?"

This sentence was calm and waveless, but it exploded in the silent hall.

Shen Rongci frowned: What kind of thing is this?How does he not know?

He has guarded the border with the army for many years, and has fought many battles with grassland tribes, knowing that they ushered in a new ruler this year.The new Khan is young, promising, and ambitious. Since he took office, he has led the grassland soldiers to wander around the border many times, eyeing him like a tiger.

I heard that the new Khan was a mixed race, and was originally regarded as an ominous sign by the tribe. At the beginning of this year, when the grassland tribe celebrated their gods, he personally killed his biological father and took his place.

Shen Rongci had fought against the new Khan several times, and he was indeed a tough opponent, much tougher than the old Khan.

But he had never heard of the other party's intention to make a kiss.And what does this have to do with Gu Chiyuan's marriage?

The officials at the scene obviously knew about it, and they couldn't help whispering after hearing this sentence, all of them looked dignified.

Even Long Yan, who was originally furious by the emperor, restrained himself a little because of these words, and raised his hand to pinch the center of his brows.

Only the crown prince didn't change his countenance, still as if he knew his mistake and accepted punishment: "My minister is worried about the marriage of my fifth brother, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. In the end, it's all my fault that I forgot about Khan's marriage proposal for my fifth brother." , This accidentally hit the fifth younger brother's sore spot, the minister is confused, and the fifth younger brother should be angry."

In one sentence, like a thunderbolt, Shen Rongci was stunned on the spot.
