Chapter 277: Prince Anping hates power struggles and has never formed a party over the years
Su Rutang and Song Huaiyan took Yaoyao to the East Palace. Shangqi now lives in Lizheng Palace, but he still studies in the East Palace during the day.
No matter how old he is.
As long as you are appointed as the crown prince, you have to take on responsibilities.
Shangqi and several officials' children competed in the East Palace. A dozen children were divided into two groups. Each group had a traitor, and they had to rely on wisdom and courage to win.
There was a shelf with a long bamboo pole on it in the open space of the East Palace.
There is a tiger head on the top.
"Whoever gets the tiger head first will be my study partner. You will study with me and practice martial arts with me." Shangqi threw out the most tempting bait.
Everyone knows that the prince's companion will be his confidant after he ascends the throne.
There was a determined look in the eyes of the dozen or so children, always on guard against the other party making a move before them.
"Stupid. Zhao Xiaoyu is a traitor, just believe me." Shen Tengfei from the red team shouted loudly.
Zhao Xiaoyu yelled:
"Shen Tengfei, you are the traitor."
The members of the blue team looked at each other and said, "Let's defeat the red team first. The blue team will come and take first place."
"it is good."
Someone from the red team climbed up the shelf, but was pulled down by others. The blue team also stopped the red team from climbing.
Shangqi stood aside.
Ye Ming stared at the dozen children like a little wolf cub, "Your Highness. The Red Team will definitely lose first."
Shangqi pulled Ye Ming, who wanted to come forward, behind him.
"Don't go. Let them beat you."
"They... I will definitely be the first to get the tiger head." Ye Ming frowned. These study companions are not strong enough.
Shangqi and Yeming were sitting close together, talking in whispers.
He was afraid that Ye Ming would take the tiger head.
Always holding Ye Ming's hand.
Ye Ming: “…”
"Your Highness, I want to discuss something with you. Please let go."
Shangqi's eyebrows twisted into a caterpillar, "No."
A dozen children were still scrambling for it.
Finally, the rack was hit with a stick and the bamboo poles on it fell down.
I saw the bamboo pole was about to fall on everyone.
Ye Ming tapped his feet, and he and Shang Qi jumped up at the same time. They kicked together, and the bamboo pole fell to the side.
The shelf collapsed to the ground with a loud bang.
Bo Luohui just happened to come over.
I was very angry when I saw this scene.
"You bastards, you all don't use your brains properly. You always do these weird things. Stop right there." Bo Luohui was afraid that Shangqi would get hurt, so he trotted over.
"The great-grandson of Mr. Shen?"
"Are you the grandson of Lord Lin?"
"And you...Bo Yunsang."
Boyunshang winked at Shangqi and came to Boluohui hesitantly. "Grandfather, listen to me..."
Bo Luo slapped him back.
He jumped up quickly.
"Ah, my...Grandfather, please don't hit me. I am also working hard for my future..."
Shangqi took a step back.
He quickly called on others to retreat.
Ye Ming stayed behind, and pulled Bo Yunshang out when Bo Luohui wasn't paying attention. "Master Bo, we'll leave first, you can go home and teach your grandson a lesson."
Bo Yunsang got kicked in the butt.
He ran after Ye Ming with his teeth bared.
Leaving Bo Luohui dumbfounded.
"Your Highness, you cannot leave. I have something to discuss with you." Bo Luohui yelled, but the only response he got was the sound of wind and air.
He sighed and picked up the tiger head from the ground.
Su Rutang and Song Huaiyan came over and happened to see Bo Luohui picking up the tiger head.
The ground was a horrible sight.
"Minister Bo, what happened?" Su Rutang thought someone was hurt and hurriedly asked the guards in the East Palace.
The guard explained.
Su Rutang breathed a sigh of relief.
Ask someone to clean up the things on the open space.
"Minister Bo, let the prince handle the children's affairs himself. He will always choose his favorite study partner."
"That's true. But I, this old minister, discovered..." Bo Luohui lowered his voice and said that he found a stranger in the capital.
"I still haven't figured out when he came in. It looks like someone did it on purpose."
Su Rutang understood what he meant.
"You are afraid that someone will take advantage of the opportunity to attack the prince's companion."
"Yes, I am afraid of this."
……
Shen Tengfei went back and got a small stick soup, and Shen Zhongshu beat him up. "Why did you go to the palace for no reason? Didn't I tell you to go to your grandparents' house?"
Shen Tengfei touched the place where he was beaten, with a tone like he was crying.
"I'm not going to my grandparents' house."
"You dare?" Shen Zhongshu was about to call for family discipline again, "I'll beat you up and see if you will go or not?"
"Grandfather, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to choose a study partner." Shen Tengfei wiped away his tears, "Our Shen family is already disliked by the Emperor, and if we continue to be like Grandfather and not on the same page with the Crown Prince, will we be able to survive in the capital in the future? I tell you, I'm doomed."
Shen Tengfei's neck was throbbing with veins popping out as he yelled, "Our Shen family is finished."
The other members of the Shen family remained silent.
Shen Zhongshu looked unhappy.
His eyes were half-closed like an old fox. "You go to your grandparents' house. I have made two preparations. You don't have to worry about these things. I play with hawks all day long, so why would I be afraid of little sparrows?"
Shen Tengfei cried even harder.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole is behind. Don't think that you are an old fox and can play others in the palm of your hand."
Shen Jie was shocked.
"The prince said that?"
Shen Tengfei nodded, "Yes, that's what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said."
He ran out after saying that.
He was still muttering:
"Anyway, I'm not going to my grandparents' house. I just want to be the prince's companion."
Shen Zhongshu couldn't help but sigh.
How could the Great Zhou Dynasty deal with the powerful enemies outside? How could Su Rutang, a woman, face the people in the dark of the capital?
Su Rutang was also seen by the woman.
He doesn't know about national affairs and doesn't know how to balance everything.
Blindly suppressing and supporting the army regardless of the consequences. How far the Great Zhou Dynasty can go depends on the ability of that person.
Although Shen Zhongshu was appointed by Shang Yan in a time of crisis, he knew that he would not be reused.
Just use him to balance the relationship.
He wanted to find a way out, but when he saw that his most promising great-grandson was led astray by Shangqi, he was immediately furious.
He ordered his grandson to send Shen Tengfei to his maternal grandparents' home.
Shen Tengfei's maternal grandparents' home is not in the capital, but more than a hundred miles away from the capital.
There are a lot of people and a lot of gossip in the capital recently.
The Jinyiwei came to Lizheng Hall to report to Su Rutang about the situation at Shen Zhongshu's home. "Shen Zhongshu seems normal on weekdays, except that he goes to a room in the backyard every night.
There was no shelter in that place, just two rooms.
One is a Buddhist hall and the other is a study.
The subordinates can only hang around in inconspicuous places in the Shen Mansion and cannot go to that room at all. Usually no one cleans there. I heard by chance that it is Shen Zhongshu who cleans it himself. "
Su Rutang was sitting lazily on the chair, but he straightened up when he heard that.
"A room he alone goes to?"
"Yes."
The Jinyiwei nodded and said, "We did see a hunchbacked man once. I think my subordinates saw him in the Prince Anping's Palace."
Su Rutang was stunned.
"The Prince of Anping's Palace? The Prince of Anping hates fighting for power and has never formed a clique for personal gain over the years."
“Maybe people are similar.”
Su Rutang always felt that something was wrong. "There are not many people with hunchbacks, and even fewer who can enter the noble families. Send someone to keep an eye on them."
"Yes. But before the emperor ascended the throne, we sent people to keep an eye on Prince Anping's mansion. Since the death of the previous emperor, the emperor has led the army in person, and our people can only keep an eye on Secretary Shen's mansion."
The Embroidered Uniform Guards meant that all the other people in the mansion should be withdrawn.
"Continue to send people to keep an eye on the Anping Palace."
"Yes."
The Jinyiwei people left.
Su Rutang's hand trembled slightly as she touched the teacup. She was really afraid that one of the Kings Anping and Cheng was the real mastermind behind the scenes.
"Your Majesty." Chunxi walked in, "Miss Song left the palace this afternoon. Let me tell your Majesty."
"Where did Huaiyan go?"
"He said he was going to stay at the farm for a few days and would be back in a few days." Chunxi frowned, "Miss Song said that the explosives issue has not made any progress. I'm afraid this matter will fail."
"It's okay if it turns yellow. It's not a big deal."
"That's what I mean. Miss Song may not be able to save face. She made a promise in front of the adults. Now that she has broken her promise, she will naturally stay away for a few days."
Su Rutang: “…”
On the second day.
At court, Su Rutang, Prince Cheng, Prince Anping, Bo Luohui and Secretary Shen discussed state affairs in the imperial study. She was obviously absent-minded and always lost her mind when people asked her for her opinion.
Bo Luohui called a few more times.
"The Queen."
Su Rutang quickly came back to his senses, "Minister Bo. What's the matter?"
