Chapter 635 Emperor Yu prepares to strike
"Nephew, I greet the two uncles!"
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yong."
Both parties saluted, Guo Jia and others stood up silently, bowed without saying a word, and stood behind Ning Fan.
Prince Song was a fat middle-aged man, weighing at least 200 kilograms, with a prominent mole at the corner of his mouth, and a somewhat honest look.
Prince An was tall and slender, with compact features, a majestic look without anger, and a deep luster in his eyes.
"You two uncles have been in Beijing for many years, but this is the first time you have come to visit my nephew's house!"
"Speaking of which, it is also my nephew who is ignorant. For so many years, I have not visited you two uncles!"
"Hahaha, Your Highness, you are joking. We two old guys have been traveling around all year round. When we are in Beijing, we never leave the house. Even if you come to our house, I am afraid you may not see us."
"Please!"
After sitting down, Ning Fan ordered people to serve the newly picked tea leaves in the house, which he personally roasted. The fragrance of tea filled the air, which made the two people marvel.
"How do you two like this tea?"
"This tea has a rich aroma, sweet taste, and a long aftertaste. It is the best!"
"My nephew, when you leave later, you must get me two taels!"
"Hahaha, as long as the emperor uncle likes it, I will give you two catties each!"
"Okay, my nephew is generous!"
After a round of greetings, Ning Fan saw that the two masters were still unhurried and had no intention of getting to the point, so he took the lead and said: "Uncle, a few days ago, the emperor ordered you to participate in politics. I can't guess the emperor's intention."
"However, I think the two emperor uncles are idle and wild, and they should not be interested in the affairs of the court, so I will resign for the two emperor uncles!"
"I wonder what you think?"
When the two heard Ning Fan's words, their faces froze and they looked at each other. King An said with a fake smile: "Thank you for your kindness, nephew, but it is difficult to disobey the emperor's order. Since His Majesty has spoken, we two as members of the royal family As a member of the imperial court, we should do our best to share the worries of the emperor!"
"Hehe, your highness is right!" The fat face of King Song was also full of smiles: "We two like to travel and play, and the internal affairs of the court are all brain-consuming!"
"Unfortunately, Brother An Wang also said just now that the imperial order is difficult to disobey!"
"Your Majesty not only allows us to participate in politics, but also allows us to take charge of the troops and horses sent to the capital by the vassal kings from all over the country!"
"Alas, this leisurely life will come to an end in the future!"
Ning Fan was slightly surprised when he heard what King Song said. King An calmly took out an imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to Ning Fan: "Your Majesty has ordered us to enter the Secretariat and participate in political affairs!"
"This dog emperor... is playing tricks on me!"
Ning Fan lost his composure in an instant and couldn't help cursing. King Song's face trembled violently, turned his head to the side, pretending not to hear, but King An's expression became serious and his eyes became cold.
"Prince Yong, don't be rude to His Majesty!"
"As a son and a minister, how can you supervise a country if you are so disloyal and unfilial?"
"Hmph!"
After saying that, he turned away. Prince Song stood up with a helpless look on his face and said to Ning Fan with a smile: "Nephew Yong, don't worry about it. My brother is a bit pedantic. I will take my leave first!"
The two princes patted their butts and left, but Ning Fan had a bit of amusement in his eyes. Is the dog emperor going to pick his peach?
The reform of the three provinces has just been completed, and Emperor Yu wants to intervene in the Ministry of Central Secretariat. Now the Ministry of Menxia is in his hands, but the Ministry of Shangshu is in charge of Lin Qiushi. In this way, he and Lin Qiushi are incompatible, but he can swing left and right and balance the three parties.
Is this the way of the emperor?
"My lord, it seems that these two idle princes hold our hidden cards!"
"Hehe, my father has been able to hide them for so many years, how could we easily see through them?"
"Wait until tonight, and we will know what the emperor is up to!"
"Any news from Lu Bu?"
Jia Xu shook his head slightly, with a bit of concentration in his eyes: "My lord, although the Bingzhou Wolf Riders are not weak in combat, there are 70,000 or 80,000 iron cavalry in Mobei after all. Besides, Lu Bu is ambitious, so why not let them withdraw!"
"Hmm..."
Ning Fan pondered for a while and said softly: "Send a message to Yue Fei and ask him to send a cavalry to rush to help. Tie Xuanzhen is a hidden danger after all. We can't be completely relieved if we don't get rid of him."
"Yes!"
...
The palace.
The imperial garden.
Teams of heavily armored soldiers rushed to the palace and protected the imperial garden tightly. Emperor Yu seemed to have heard the movement outside and hurriedly asked Wei Ying to go and check.
"Your Majesty, a team of soldiers came to the outside of the Imperial Garden, saying that they were ordered by Prince Yong to protect your safety!"
"Haha!"
Emperor Yu was not angry or annoyed, and said with a smile: "This little beast is ready to watch me to death!"
Sitting opposite Emperor Yu was a white-haired old man, who smiled and said: "Prince An and Prince Song just went to Prince Yong's Mansion. Your Highness is venting his dissatisfaction with you!"
"This is in line with his temperament."
"The second son is good in every way, but he is a little too vengeful and vindictive!"
"Your Highness will understand your painstaking efforts."
The old man had a kind face, with a bit of immortal style, but his eyes were full of wisdom: "Although His Highness Prince Yong has great talents and ambitions, he has a strong hand and is vigorous and resolute in doing things."
"But in the political game, he is a little immature."
"However, none of his staff members can be underestimated!"
Emperor Yu nodded in agreement: "When I promoted Kong Ming, I wanted to test him, but I didn't expect that in just over a year, he could gain a firm foothold in the court and make every move carefully."
"Although Guo Jia is not in the court, he is the first counselor around the second son. His calculations are not inferior to those old foxes in the court."
"Jiang Li, who is in charge of the Jinyiwei, has a sense of advance and retreat, and can handle things with ease. I also look at him with new eyes!"
"However, only Shang Yang, I can't see through him!"
Hearing Emperor Yu's evaluation, the old man also showed a bit of solemnity: "Your Majesty , I have checked the whereabouts of these people, but I have not found any clues. "
"As for the Taoyuan Village you mentioned, I have never heard of it!"
"That's interesting!"
With a somewhat interested look on his face, Emperor Yu said with a smile: "I am also looking forward to how Dayu can survive in this great world when he is handed over to the second brother!"
"I retreat behind the scenes, but I can avoid the eyes and ears of some people and make preparations in advance!"
"However, the second brother should be punished. He is arrogant and ignorant. Tonight, I will teach him a lesson."
"Let him know why I can be his father!"
