Chapter 488

In the dark room of the fourth Prince's residence.

"You did a good job."

The fourth prince said, looking at the respectful middle-aged man.

This person is the Minister of rites who has just left qinzhengdian.

The fourth prince gave him the task of making him active in the court and making Su Xun return to Chen County as an official.

However, he did not expect that he had not started the activity yet, so the opportunity came to him. He pushed the boat along the river and asked Su Xun to return to Chen County as an official.

"It's my blessing to be able to work for your highness." The Minister of rites said flatteringly.

A minister of real power from the second grade, who is so servile to a prince, will certainly startle people's chin.

The fourth Prince patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "as long as you are good enough to do things for me, I can't treat you badly, and those ugly things you did won't spread out. You are still the Minister of rites with a bright future."

Yes, the Minister of Rites has a handle in his hand, so he controls it.

The fourth Prince's mother was just a pretty maid in waiting. After she was drunk, she was blessed by the emperor of Chu. Later, she died of dystocia when she gave birth to him.

Therefore, the fourth Prince has no foundation and inside information in the court hall and the back palace.

He once tried to make friends with these ministers with the same attitude as his three brothers.

But the reality is very cruel. The ministers who are in power don't look up to him at all. They can't deny his advice because he is not worth investing.

Later, the fourth prince also wanted to know why he had to ask them. He might as well change the way to make himself more comfortable.

Then he focused on the Minister of rites, who was still the imperial censor Zhongcheng at that time, and secretly mastered a lot of black materials about him that would kill the nine nationalities once exposed, so he controlled him as a threat.

Of course, he is not only threatening, but also giving each other benefits, so as to better control each other.

Sad to say, the Minister of rites is the most important chess piece in the court.

His influence is at the grassroots level, at the border and in the army. These people are much better than those ministers in the court, and they are more loyal.

Therefore, he can only fight for the throne.

After sending away the Minister of rites, Chu Jun showed a banter smile on his face.

Elder brother, you will certainly go to woo him.

I don't know, you think he will be your man, but he is mine.

Ha ha ha ha

Chujun's laughter resounded in the dark room.

……………

At the same time, Donggong.

Prime Minister Zuo also came to the East Palace immediately after he left qinzheng hall and told the prince about it.

After hearing this, the prince was shocked and speechless for a long time before he said, "as the teacher said, this is the new poet saint. He is really talented."

"The more important thing is that he is simple in the heart of the emperor, and he is deeply favored by his majesty. No accident, I'm afraid he is going to break the record of the promotion speed of the great Chu." Prime Minister Zuo took a sip of tea and said calmly.

The prince showed a smile: "a jade pendant was given to him at the banquet ten days ago, which is a friendship with him. It's really worth it."

"It's the prince's destiny." Said Prime Minister Zuo.

It's easier for Su to catch the smile on his face.

Su Xun has recently become the head of the poor scholars. To win him over is to win over all the poor scholars in the imperial examination. His position as the crown prince is as stable as Mount Tai.

As for the second and third, he didn't pay attention to them at all and didn't regard them as rivals from the beginning to the end.

As for old four, he often goes out to travel, he almost forgot this person.

……………

The second prince's residence.

In the backyard, two young men sat looking at each other.

It was Chuliang, the second prince, and chufei, the third prince.

"The second elder brother must have known about the argument of qinzhengdian." The third prince Chu Fei said with a cold face.

Chu Liang, the second prince, nodded and looked dignified: "no accident, this future national pillar is a member of the prince's mansion again. Our hope is weaker."

"PATA!"

Chu Fei smashed the wine cup on the ground directly and said angrily: "why is it that good things are his? No matter what people or things are, the best is always his!"

"Since he was the prince, he has been the prince for 13 years." Chu Liang tone calm said, for the third brother's temper, he has long been used to.

Chu Fei's eyes flashed a touch of cold light, gritted his teeth and said, "what if it destroyed this future pillar?"

"No, you can't be fooling around!" Chuliang's face changed and his tone sternly warned him.

They are the brothers of a mother's compatriots. Growing up together, he knows very well that his brother has the courage.

Chu Fei's gloomy face dissipated, and then he said with a smile: "second brother, what are you so nervous about? I'm just angry. I just talk about it casually. I drink wine.""That would be the best." Chuliang's face eased down, clinked a cup with it, and then drank it all.

Chu Fei's eyes flashed a cold light. Second brother, second brother, you are too stable. This kind of thing is life and death. How can you just be stable?

The crown prince was unshakable. Now that he has Su Xun, who else can fight with him?

Su Xun must die!

I'll let my brother do it for you.

Chu Liang, who is full of worry and bewilderment, doesn't notice Chu Fei's difference, and doesn't know what he thinks.

Otherwise, I will be moved to tears. Thank you for your eight generation ancestors.

……………

Gongyuan.

A invigilator went to Su Xun's single room and said respectfully.

"Su Ju Ren, your majesty has an order. Now that you have finished answering, you can leave first."

"Thank you." Su Xun nodded, then mentioned his own business and left directly.

The others in the room were filled with envy when they heard the conversation.

Su Xun finished his answer so soon, and his majesty allowed him to leave first, which showed that his Majesty was very satisfied with his answer.

Basically, it must be on the list.

Just after walking out of the Gongyuan, Su Xun was stopped by the people in the prince's mansion.

"Su Juren, his Royal Highness has held a banquet in the mansion to celebrate the whole family. Please follow me."

Little Si of Prince Mansion pointed to a sedan chair beside him and said.

Su Xun laughed like a scum man and pointed to the food basket in his hand: "I'll bring my own food. Let's go."

Voice down, carrying a basket into the sedan chair.

"Lift the sedan chair."

Soon arrived at the East Palace Prince Mansion.

Prince Chu Zhao personally welcomed him at the door and expressed his importance.

They exchanged greetings and then entered the mansion.

At the banquet, Su Xun had learned from the prince that the imperial pen of Chu had granted him the title of Huiyuan.

The prince flattered him again, showing the intention of soliciting him. Naturally, Su Xun responded.

Then, on the surface, he became a member of the East Palace Prince's house and secretly went to support the fourth prince.

The prince thought that Su Xun was his man, and the fourth prince thought that Su Xun was his man.

In fact, they were all used by Su Xun.
