This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 684 Playing
Wen Ruyan was punished that night.

Township government.

Inside the main hall.

At the banquet, each of the five or six people was full of red faces, and occasionally there was a burst of hearty laughter between the drinks.

The youngest of these people seems to be over fifty. Although these people no longer have any real power in their hands, they all have profound influence in the military, and they can be regarded as important figures in the court.

Chen Ling, the Lord of the Town with slightly white temples, is already sixty years old this year, and he can be regarded as the leader of this group of people.

While they were laughing and celebrating, Chen Ling's face was filled with embarrassment.

Seeing him like this, the next person raised his glass to him and said, "Why does the Lord have such an expression? Today, Prince Jing Wen Ruyan was punished. Shouldn't you and I be happy?"

At that time, someone echoed, "That's right, I thought Prince Jing would suddenly emerge as a difficult character, but who would have thought that he would dare to disobey the order and disrespect, and openly contradict His Majesty, it's a bit ignorant."

"Actually, this is considered normal. After all, you are a young man, and you still can't understand the four words of taking credit and pride. You have never been involved in court affairs. How can you understand that His Majesty's majesty is inviolable?"

Hearing the group of them talking, Zhen Guogong Chen Ling suddenly let out a long sigh, and then said: "Don't you think this is a bit weird? Judging from the performance of His Highness Prince Jing over the past year, don't you really think that Is he such a man of Meng Lang?"

In fact, Duke Zhen felt very helpless at the moment. Wen Ruyan was punished today, and this group of people couldn't wait to run to his mansion to celebrate. Aren't they afraid of being caught by someone with a heart?
Also, these individuals were all mixed up in the military at the beginning, so it's okay to let them fight, but if they really have to face this court incident, they probably won't know if they are sold out.

They are still talking here and there about His Royal Highness Prince Jing not knowing about the court affairs, but they don't know much about it!
Chen Ling always felt that what happened today was a bit sudden, and Wen Ruyan shouldn't have given him such an impression!

And when he heard his words, the lowly man laughed again and said, "I said, my lord, are you overthinking it? That's right, the ability Prince Jing showed a few days ago is really powerful. The few of us also admire him very much, otherwise, how could he be placed in such an important position? But he is a young man after all!"

"That's right, it's normal for young people to be obsessed with beauty. Look at the wives and concubines in his mansion. Which one is not a stunning beauty? His Majesty asked him to patrol the world, but he met another one on the way. Who would want to be beautiful before the beauty?" Are you going to suffer from the long-distance travel? Wouldn’t it be nice to bring it back early and enjoy it?”

"What Hou Ye said is also reasonable. I guess His Highness Prince Jing is thinking that he has made such great contributions over the past year. Even if he resists the order and disrespects it, His Majesty will not punish him too much. In fact, it is him. Take credit for your pride and pull yourself down."

"But what if he did it on purpose?"

As soon as Zhen Guogong Chen Ling said these words, the whole main hall suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and everyone focused their attention on him at the same time.

Chen Ling snorted softly, and said, "Why are we afraid of Prince Jing? Isn't it because he's shown some strength? But such a powerful person can do such a stupid thing? Can he do such a stupid thing?" People are worthy of being feared by us dukes and marquises?"

The lowly people immediately looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, only one person said: "It shouldn't be, he has no reason to do this?"

"Maybe this is a signal he wants to send to us."

The hall was silent for a long time, and after a long time, the next person asked cautiously: "You mean, he wants to tell us through this incident that he really has no interest in the throne? Let us rest assured?"

Chen Ling nodded.

The group of people fell into silence again. In fact, at first they learned that Wen Ruyan was punished so harshly, they were really overjoyed, but after Chen Ling reminded them, they thought about what Wen Ruyan had done before. Suddenly, it seems that such a person really shouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Seeing their silence, Chen Ling patted the table and sighed: "Okay, everyone, no matter whether he did it on purpose or not, but the matter has come to this point, we should restrain ourselves in the future. You all know what kind of person His Majesty is today. Today everyone is really a bit abrupt, just after King Jing was punished, you rushed to my residence so impatiently, what do you think His Majesty will think when he finds out?"

A group of people suddenly changed color.

Chen Ling sighed helplessly again.

This is Yanjing City!Is there anything in Yanjing City that can be hidden today?They came to my mansion with such great fanfare tonight, I am afraid that the Emperor Zhou would have known about it long ago.

Everyone knows that the majesty of the Son of Heaven cannot be provoked, and if this group of people don't know how to restrain themselves, they will inevitably be liquidated in the future.

Do you really think that you can be so unscrupulous with a little military merit?
Ah.

The most is the cold-blooded emperor's family!

Prince Jing's Mansion.

A whole room full of Yingying and Yanyan were surrounding the bed and crying non-stop. Looking at Wen Ruyan, she was wrapped in the gauze like a rice dumpling, lying on the bed and unable to move at all. After Su Bai finished the last movement, Covering him with the quilt, she looked at him and let out a long sigh.

Wen Ruyan naturally knew why he sighed, and also knew that he might have something to say to herself, so she turned her head hard to look at An Lingwei and the others and said, "It's all right, don't cry, I'm fine, you go back to your room first Come on, let me talk to Su Bai."

Wei Xiaoxiao and the others wanted to say something, but An Lingwei stopped her. Lan Xinhui just shook her head at them, and then dragged them out of the room.

As for Chu Yue, at this moment, she looked at Wen Ruyan with tears in her eyes, wanted to say something but couldn't speak, so she could only look at him with her lips pursed and then walked out with An Lingwei and the others.

The girl was also terrified. Wen Ruyan had just brought her back from Jingzhou as agreed, and this happened, and it was because of her that Wen Ruyan contradicted Emperor Zhou. How could she not uncomfortable?

Wen Ruyan also knew that she might have a lot on her mind, but Ye Linxue was coming soon, so she would naturally explain it to her.

After they left, Su Bai sighed and asked again: "Do you have to do this?"

Wen Ruyan also smiled wryly, and said, "Am I willing to suffer this severe beating? There is no other way."

"Is it really that serious? His Royal Highness has a deep relationship with you. Even if there are some voices in the court, it will not affect him, right?"

Wen Ruyan glanced at him lightly, and said: "If you have the time, go back and learn from your father. As the only son of the prime minister, what you say is too substandard."

Su Bai's face turned dark right then, he glanced at the bandage on Wen Ruyan's body, and wanted to untie it for him right away!
Seeing his expression, Wen Ruyan was also taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Just kidding, just kidding, don't be angry."

Who is Su Bai? It's not that Wen Ruyan doesn't understand, this guy is extremely black-bellied, if he doesn't hurry up and say something nice to him, this guy might really attack him!

After saying this, without waiting for Su Bai to respond, Wen Ruyan sighed suddenly, and then continued: "Do you know that there are many things in the court that are beyond the control of Brother Huang and I? Even some Even the emperor would feel at a loss what to do."

Hearing him talking about serious business, Su Bai didn't have time to worry about his run-off just now, so he asked, "How do you say that?"

Wen Ruyan smiled wryly, and said: "As the current crown prince, the emperor has helped his father handle state affairs for many years, so there will naturally be a large number of people who support him. On the contrary, over the years, he has also gained many opponents who disagree with his political views. Some people hope that he will inherit the throne as a matter of course, but some people don't think so."

"In the past, I didn't care about anything, and coupled with the dissolute appearance I showed all day, they naturally didn't take me seriously, but over the past year or so, I have been forced to do a lot of things, directly pushing myself in the It's on the cusp of the storm, and at this time, those people will have other ideas."

"Muxiu and Lin Feng must be destroyed by the ideal, you also understand that the higher I stand, the more those people will have thoughts that they shouldn't have, and the more those who support the emperor will be afraid of me, Let me put it this way, the current situation is that people who don't want the emperor to inherit the throne will use me to make a fuss, and those who want the emperor to inherit the throne will also use me to make a fuss. People on both sides will not make it easier for me .”

"Right now, Mu Xiqiu is succeeding the throne of Southern Chu, and he is taking drastic measures to rectify Chaogang. What does this mean? Doesn't it mean that in the next period of time, he will launch an army to invade our border at any time? And the time when he disappeared He has been staying on the grassland all the time. How could it be possible that the Xiongnu Zuoxian King was able to kill the Da Shanyu and unite the grassland with the Youxian King without his credit? He must have reached an agreement with the Zuoxian King before returning to Southern Chu. Some kind of agreement."

"The Huns have always been eyeing our northern border of Great Zhou. You said that if Mu Xiqiu launches the southern Chu army, will the Huns do nothing? They will definitely attack my northern border at the same time!"

"In the final analysis, my Great Zhou is really in a precarious state. If at this time, the Great Zhou Dynasty gets into a mess because of me and Brother Huang, what should I do to face it? Enemies on both sides?"

"So, this is not a question of whether our relationship is good or not. Even if I believe in the emperor, the emperor also believes in me? Those who should provoke troubles will still provoke troubles, and chaos will still happen. This matter is not at all. The two of us can control it, so I can only do this now. Sigh!"

Wen Ruyan talked eloquently, and Su Bai naturally understood what he had said. To be honest, his mind was buzzing right now.

Wen Ruyan's unique vision really surprised him a little, and he never expected that there are so many tricks in such a trivial matter.

Su Bai really wanted to take Wen Ruyan's head apart to see what was inside. Is there anything in this world that this guy doesn't understand?He used to be just like himself and never paid attention to things above the court, but why can he still see it so clearly?
Is the gap between people really that big?

He was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Actually, the beating you received today is a play you put on with Your Majesty, right?"

Wen Ruyan sighed, then nodded.

Su Bai understood, there was no reason why Emperor Zhou couldn't understand what Wen Ruyan could understand, maybe Emperor Zhou had no choice but to follow Wen Ruyan to make such a bad plan.

"What about His Royal Highness?"

Wen Ruyan smiled wryly again, and said, "Brother Huang should come to me after a while."

As he expected, he chatted with Su Bai in the room for about half an hour, and then he heard someone from outside come in and say: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here."

Wen Ruyan and Su Bai looked at each other, and said, "Look."

Su Bai also shook his head helplessly: "Okay, then I'll go back first, and it won't affect the conversation between the two of you brothers."

Wen Ruyan nodded.

Su Bai got up and left the room without dragging his feet. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he ran into Prince Wen Ruyu.

Su Bai stopped, and then saluted him respectfully, Wen Ruyu waved his hand, and asked, "Second brother's injury."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, there is nothing serious."

"That's good."

"The minister will retire first."

"Go."

Su Bai saluted him again, and then left straight away.

Seeing his leaving back, Wen Ruyu shook her head helplessly, turned around and glanced at the room in front of her, but there was a trace of hesitation and embarrassment on her face.

To be honest, he really doesn't know how to face Wen Ruyan now, some things are well known to each other, such as the matter of Duke Zhen, Wen Ruyu believes that Wen Ruyan already knows.

But what can he do?These are the people who have supported him for many years. At most, he just warned them. Could it be that he directly fell out with them because of this matter?Things above the court were just as Wen Ruyan said, sometimes, it was really out of his control.

Standing in the courtyard and hesitating for a moment, Wen Ruyu also sighed, stepped forward and opened the door and walked in.

The room was brightly lit. As soon as Wen Ruyu entered the door, she saw Wen Ruyan lying on the bed covered in gauze and having difficulty moving.

Seeing this scene, he almost turned around and left directly when he saw this scene.

Wen Ruyan naturally saw him the moment he came in, and seeing the expression on his face, he knew what was going on in his heart. Before he could speak first, Wen Ruyan had already smiled and said: "The emperor Brother, why are you like this? When did you and my brother become like this?"

Wen Ruyu smiled wryly, then closed the door, walked to the bed and sat down.

"Father is so ruthless!"

Wen Ruyan tried his best to move his body and pulled the wound. He gasped in pain, and then said: "You can't be ruthless, if you are not ruthless, how can you break those people's thoughts?" ?”

"It's my fault."

"Brother Huang, don't think so. Born in Tian's family, some things are beyond our control."

"Do you have any complaints against me?"

"Did the emperor believe me?"

"letter!"

"Then there will be no complaints!"

The two brothers looked at each other, and after a long time, the two laughed at the same time.
