Song Yucheng is a well-known rascal in Shangjing, don't care whether his feelings for Wu Wenshan are true or false, if the Seventh Prince provokes him, there will definitely be no good fruit.
Thinking about the things he did in Shangjing before, it might be embarrassing for anyone else, but he, Song Yucheng, has no face.
Many people are thinking in their hearts that even if the Seventh Prince really puts a green hat on Song Yucheng, Song Yucheng can shout that a man has no wife, and then make trouble for the Seventh Prince with great fanfare.
But in fact, this rumor is completely false. It was deliberately fabricated.
In the palace, the emperor couldn't help frowning when he heard his confidant talk about what happened recently. A few days ago, the fourth prince just came to him and said that Song Yucheng had a large number of Yu family troops, Rongcheng was far away, and the prince was also there. Their cousins have a good relationship, but nothing happened.
This made the emperor feel very uncomfortable, so he quickly found a way to trick Song Yucheng back. But after the rumors spread in the capital, he suddenly became suspicious again, and felt that the words of the fourth prince were very provocative.
After seeing the letter sent by the prince, it became more and more strange.
Because whether it is Song Yucheng or the prince, they are too straightforward. Needless to say, Song Yucheng was outside, and the memorials were delivered diligently, and he could even write down how many fish he caught in the sea.
As for the prince, that's even more so. Even the prices of the four cities of Gucheng will be sent over for the emperor's reference. Among them, no matter whether it was Song Yucheng's zhezi or the crown prince's Zhezi, they deliberately told him about the good relationship between the two.
But this is also very logical. After all, Rongcheng is near the sea, so if the pirates attack, Rongcheng must come first. But it is the city where Japanese pirates were first discovered.
It was the most normal thing for the two to get close. In addition, when he heard the rumors from his subordinates that the seventh prince was in Beijing recently, the fourth prince also intervened, and couldn't help but become suspicious.
"You mean, fourth child..."
"It's a bit strange. Think about it, Your Majesty. The prince has a quiet temperament, and is the most filial and down-to-earth person who can do things for the people. If you think His Highness the Seventh Prince is good, he must also think that the Seventh Prince is good. Otherwise, he wouldn't ask for his life several times and say yes." Give him the four cities of Gucheng as a fief."
"He is now a legitimate prince, with a former queen and a foreign family who controls the three armies. He can ask for a fiefdom with you. This means that he understands what you mean and has asked for a way out for himself! In comparison, the four princes My heart is too big."
"Then what do you think of the child Qi Nian?"
"Little county king... my subordinates dare not say it."
"Speak, I forgive you for your innocence."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." As if he was weighing his words, the subordinate hesitated for a while, and then slowly said: "Actually, this subordinate feels that the loyalty of a small county king is more rare than the filial piety of the prince. If nothing else, just Look at the bandits, big and small, all these years, but he took the Yu family army to go, let alone the other side of Rongcheng. Didn’t the little county king personally lead the team to sea a few days ago? "
"The sea is not noisy. The navy in Yu's army has just started training, and there are no warships. If he didn't really care about Da'an and you, he would not be so reckless if he was messing around."
"Hey, I have so many sons, but none of your attendants can see through them." The emperor waved his hand, "You go down first! Let me think about it."
"yes."
The subordinate quietly exited the hall, but the smile on the corner of his lips seemed particularly meaningful on his lowered face. This subordinate felt that the princes who stayed in Shangjing in front of him, one counted as one, were all idiots.
Right now, anyone with eyes can tell that the emperor favors the seventh prince, and it is disobedience for others to fight. Only by not fighting, pretending to give way, coaxing the emperor to soften his heart, and obtaining the greatest benefits can he preserve his own interests.
As for trying to arouse the emperor's suspicion of King Rong, it is so stupid that there are no words to describe it. Not to mention anything else, as far as that young master's temper is concerned, how could he be easily manipulated by others.
This time when I return to Beijing, I am afraid that if it is not the capital, the sky will be turned upside down together.
However, the face of the emperor in the hall was completely different from that of this subordinate. His face was as sinking as water, as if it was extremely difficult to see.
He admitted that because he liked Concubine Ying more, he also liked the Seventh Prince the most. And the Seventh Prince has been smart since he was a child, and he is a quick learner. He is a good seed to inherit the great line.
Therefore, even under the premise of having a prince, he still did it quite obviously. Originally, he was worried that the prince would object. But this son who did not please him the least was unexpectedly the most filial, even a little foolish.
He said that your younger brother, the Seventh Emperor, is more suitable for this position, and the prince really agreed to back down, and also applied for the four cities of Gucheng as fiefdoms.
If it was changed to another place, he would really have to doubt the prince's intentions. But it happened to the side of the city, but it was a real border city. It is indeed richer than Rongcheng. But in fact, in front of those truly rich lands, it can be regarded as extremely poor and chaotic.
The point is that there are many hidden dangers in the city.
A few months ago, the villages near the sea in Shaocheng were ransacked by Japanese pirates, which shows the danger. But the prince wants to stay there now, what is the difference between Song Yucheng's wholehearted training of sailors to go to sea? They are all risking their lives to protect Daan and protect him.
These two children, others can rely on, but in terms of loyalty and filial piety, it is rarer than anything else.
If there were no Seventh Prince and Concubine Ying, he should have cultivated them well. No, or he was mistaken, in fact, the seventh princes are far less outstanding than them.
"Hey, they are still too wronged after all." The emperor sighed, feeling very uncomfortable. At the same time, he also felt a lot of guilt towards Song Yucheng and the prince.
The emperor was indeed scheming, but Song Yucheng and the crown prince were also his own nephews and sons. Now, he was raised ignorantly, a dandy county king who only knows how to fight, and finally married a male wife and cut off his own heirs. A prince who is expensive, but makes compromises everywhere, even asking for a fief, is to fulfill his eccentricity. Either way, it can be said to be quite hard work.
But these two children are like this, and there are still people who sow discord, doubt their loyalty, and even want to push them to a dead end.
Thinking of the hint that the fourth prince said that day, there is still something that the emperor doesn't understand.
The fourth prince actually took a fancy to the incorporated Yu Jiajun. As for what he wanted the army for, there was no doubt that it was for the throne under his ass.
Before the wings are hardened, I want to fly, and I don't want to see if I am the material. The emperor narrowed his eyes, and there was a terrifying murderous intent in his eyes.
"Go and check the fourth prince, see who has been around him recently, and what they are doing!"
"Yes!" The hidden guard hidden in the main hall immediately appeared, and after agreeing, he hurried down to work.
However, the emperor flipped through the letter from Rongcheng, feeling inexplicably worried. The prince said that Song Yucheng packed his things and prepared to go to Beijing as soon as he came back.
Moreover, the prince also specifically mentioned in the letter that Song Yucheng did encounter Japanese pirates and won a small victory when he went to sea this time. Although the crown prince hid the matter of bringing new ships, new weapons, and captives, he deliberately emphasized that Song Yucheng re-drawn a sea chart for this trip, and it was completely confirmed that it was not far from the Da'an sea area. There is indeed a small island where Japanese pirates hide. Suspected to be the remnants of the former Japanese country.
The prince said that Song Yucheng was worried that after he left, those Japanese pirates would come back for revenge, so he only brought five hundred Qingqi and returned. And entrusted him with all the affairs related to Rongcheng, and asked him to help take care of it.
It is estimated that it will be very hard to go to Beijing. I hope the emperor will stay with him for a few more days so that he can have a good rest.
Looking at these few words, the emperor felt even more uncomfortable.
The distance between Rongcheng and Shangjing is not far, and as soon as he got off the boat, he had to drive non-stop, and he must be exhausted.
"Come on! Tell someone to guard at the post station now. Once you see King Rong coming back, take him into the palace quickly. Don't make him tired!" The emperor worriedly called the waiter outside to pass the message, And he decided that when Song Yucheng came back this time, he must make up for this child. As for the military salary in Rongcheng, it can also be 10%.
As for Wu Wenshan, in order to coax Song Yucheng back, the emperor asked the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine for Wu Wenshan, but now he was afraid that Song Yucheng would be in a hurry, so he hurried to get someone to heal him quickly.
In the entire palace, those attendants outside the palace began to get busy again. Some went to send messages to the post station, and some went to prepare the palace, waiting for Song Yucheng to return. There are also those who go to the imperial hospital to order the imperial physician. I'm afraid I'll miss the time when Wu Wenshan recovers from his illness.
However, they were so busy, the emperor relaxed, and felt that he had explained everything he should explain. Now as long as Song Yucheng comes back and sees a healthy Wu Wenshan, everything will be fine.
But what he never expected was that he was impulsively provoked by the fourth prince, but he directly killed the seventh prince.
You know, Wu Wenshan is not a fool, he always wanted to escape. Therefore, as soon as the emperor made a small move, he was immediately used by him.
Now Wu Wenshan hated Song Yucheng to death, and also hated the Seventh Prince who regarded him as an abandoned son. As for the rumors that he tried his best to spread outside, they are naturally fake news.
He wanted to find a reasonable explanation for his future disappearance.
There's no way, Song Yucheng is really too ruthless, the training for several months has changed him from a normal man to a slut who can't live without a man.
The current Wu Wenshan doesn't look like the handsome young man he used to be. He can't wait to see the passing guards, and he wants to lie down on his own initiative and open his thighs.
This is all thanks to Song Yucheng. The old bustard he found had a lot of tricks in his hands. He resisted at first, and they kept him tied up.
No medicine is needed, just put a special-shaped utensil behind him, which can make him feel hot all over and crisp on his back.
But he was tied up again, and it was completely impossible to even vent his self-blasphemy. I can only endure the numbness that seems to be brushed by feathers all over my body. After coming and going, Wu Wenshan had to endure it temporarily for the sake of a long-term plan.
However, what he never expected was that Song Yucheng looked like a hooligan, but with a vicious and meticulous mind, he was even more terrifying than those real treacherous villains.
From Rongjun Palace to the ancestral temple, he didn't find any chance to escape. He didn't find a chance to counterattack until the emperor made a move.
Wu Wenshan is eloquent, otherwise Yuanshen's character was pure at the beginning, and he wouldn't be coaxed around by him, and finally gave up.
Therefore, under Wu Wenshan's careful lure, the imperial physician's attendant was finally persuaded to allow him to spread the news.
And the first thing Wu Wenshan spread was that before he married Song Yucheng, he had a very good relationship with the Seventh Prince.
The attendant looked at Wu Wenshan with pity, and adding this sentence, it was indeed true and harmless. So I agreed.
As an imperial doctor, he often travels around the palace and the royal families. The attendant also inadvertently spread the news that Wu Wenshan wanted him to pass on.
But even the attendant didn't expect that the news would change as the news spread.
What I said at the beginning was that Wu Wenshan had a good relationship with the Seventh Prince before marrying Prince Rong. But then somehow it was connected with Song Yucheng's big wedding. It is said that the Seventh Prince had no clear relationship with Wu Wenshan, because he was robbed of love by King Rong.
After two days, the rumors became even more outrageous. It was false to say that Wu Wenshan was sick, but in fact he was stolen from the ancestral temple by the Seventh Prince and brought back to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. And it has been passed around, as if it is the same as the real thing.
"I can't see it! This Wu Wenshan is really capable. The Duke of Rong, who was coaxed into a daze by him, is now hugging the Seventh Prince's thigh."
"It's useless to hug him. Didn't you hear that the seventh prince is the one who is likely to inherit the throne in the future? It is absolutely impossible for the emperor to have a male concubine in his backyard, even if Wu Wenshan is just a concubine."
"That's not certain, Yu Qinian married him as his concubine!"
"Don't mention it, didn't you say that Yu Qinian is coming back soon? If not, this time it will be fun to watch! Tell me, when Yu Qinian comes back and sees his daughter-in-law being robbed, will he directly hit the Seventh Prince's door? "
"It will definitely! Didn't there be a big scene at the wedding, and the Seventh Prince was almost strangled to death?"
During these days, the entire Shangjing was full of discussions about Wu Wenshan and the Seventh Prince. In the end, everyone actually believed that there was something between the Seventh Prince and Wu Wenshan.
As for those princes and children of the aristocratic families who were at odds with the Seventh Prince, they were even more eager to see the Seventh Prince confronting Song Yucheng. Looking forward to Song Yucheng's return and put on a good show.
——————
In the Seventh Prince's Mansion, the Seventh Prince was almost so angry when he heard the market gossip learned by his subordinates! His entire face was flushed red. Even at Song Yucheng's wedding, he had never felt so humiliated before, and he just dropped a cup on the ground.
"Nonsense! Who spread this? Go and pull out their tongues for this king!"
"But Your Highness, now everyone in Beijing is saying that it's a bit difficult."
"Then stop it quickly. Yu Qinian is coming back soon, isn't he looking for trouble for me?" The seventh prince became more and more angry as he thought about it. In the past few days, he has really been in trouble to the extreme.
First, he was almost killed by Song Yucheng at the wedding. Then there was the matter of Huo Ling, which caused him to suffer a lot of bad luck. As a result, there was a wave of unrest and another wave. This Wu Wenshan prayed well for Song Yucheng in the ancestral temple. Even if he was sick, he could not be blamed on him. The prince's mansion
But this unlucky thing is always one after another. Just when the Seventh Prince was busy trying to quell the rumors, news suddenly came from the ancestral temple that Wu Wenshan was lost.
"What? Why don't you go find it soon?"
However, as soon as he said this, he heard a commotion at the door. Then a familiar figure that he didn't want to see in his dreams suddenly appeared there, dressed in travel and dust, his brows were full of exhaustion, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Who are you going to find?"
The author has something to say:
Song Yucheng: I heard that you stole the prince's concubine
Seventh Prince: I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense.
