Chapter 71 Chess pieces

On weekdays, Chu Yi was dressed in white clothes like snow, but today he was wearing a bright red dress, which made his skin fairer and more beautiful than any other.

It was clearly a bright red color like a peony, but he wore it with an aura of being indifferent to the world.

He was playing with a short sword between his slender fingers, and his movements were chic and agile, which added a bit of chic and unruly to him, and there was an unfathomable aura lingering around him.

Inside the Dongnuan Pavilion where the kang was burning was as warm as spring, but Fang Huairui's wide and high forehead was covered with cold sweat little by little, and his burly body was tense.

He has experienced the tempering of the battlefield and the turmoil in the court, and he can be regarded as a unique figure, but when facing the eldest prince, he was suppressed to the point where he could not hold his head up.

Fang Huairui kept his fists clasped without daring to move, time seemed to be slowed down.

"bass!"

The dagger was unsheathed an inch, the silver blade gleamed coldly, the subtle sound echoed in Fang Huairui's ears like a lightning strike, and the sweat droplets on his neck became denser.

Chu Yi said lightly: "Very good."

His voice was as clear as a guqin, neither fast nor slow, neither light nor heavy, and the meaning was unclear. I don't know if he was saying that this sword is very good, or something else.

Those two words made the stagnant air suddenly loosen, and the invisible majesty in the air also dissipated a little.

Fang Huairui was relieved, he felt as if he was forced into the water during the cup of tea just now, and it was only at this moment that someone picked him up, like a new life.

He raised his hand roughly to wipe away his cold sweat, feeling complicated.

The eldest prince Chu Yi has been away from the Dajing Dynasty for eight full years. The whole court doesn’t know him well, and most people don’t think highly of him. After all, Chu Yi has been hostage in the enemy’s country for eight years. How could he teach him well!

Therefore, all the honorable clans in the court took a wait-and-see attitude towards the eldest prince, including their Fang family.

In addition, after Chu Yi returned to Beijing, facing Kang Wang's pressing and making things difficult, he kept silent and let it go. In the eyes of outsiders, he seemed quite helpless and powerless. Fang Huairui didn't take Chu Yi seriously at that time.

He never expected that at such a young age, Chu Yi would have such a heart for the city.

During this period of time, Fang Huairui had already deeply appreciated the power of this great prince, and he dared not show the slightest negligence or negligence.

"As long as His Highness is satisfied." Fang Huairui laughed loudly, with a bold smile on his bearded face.

Thinking back on the ins and outs of the whole incident, he still feels a bit of thrilling sigh.

The marriage between the Fang and Gu families was settled more than ten years ago, but a few months ago, the Gu family suddenly proposed a temporary replacement, and they couldn't explain the reason, who was born by whom, these messy things It was the Gu family's housework, Fang Huairui dismissed it and didn't bother to check it.

Since the Gu family didn't have the slightest sincerity for this marriage, Fang Huairui thought about whether or not the marriage would end, but his wife, Mrs. Yu insisted, so he didn't bother.

Until four days ago, the eldest prince Chu Yi announced his audience and asked him to write a statement impeaching King Kang for taking his minister's wife.

The status of their British government is stable, so there is no need to stand in line at all, and there is no need to fight for the merits of the dragon, so Fang Huairui didn't want to be involved in the infighting between the two sides of the royal family, and planned to pretend to be stupid to refuse, but Chu Yi showed him a This account book scared him almost out of his wits.

Only then did he know that his wife helped his natal family to secretly occupy several iron mines in Yuzhou under the name of the British government, and mine the ore privately.

Although the Yu family benefited from this incident, the Yu family used the name of their Fang family to the outside world, and the two families were in-laws. Strict" crime...

According to the law, iron ore is state-owned, and private mining is not allowed.

The crime of privately occupying iron mines is not light, and it can give the emperor enough excuses to seize the hereditary dukedom of the Fang family, and degrade the duke to be a marquis, or even an uncle.

The Fang family can have today's status because the ancestors of the Fang family bought it at the price of life and flesh and blood, and they must not be defeated by him!

After Fang Huairui weighed the pros and cons, he had no choice but to agree.

That's why he impeached King Kang's wife for three consecutive days with great fanfare.

Afterwards, at the behest of Chu Yi, he sent his wife to Dingyuan Hou's mansion for a small ceremony, and there was a big fuss, which disturbed the whole capital at all costs.

In fact, Chu Yi never explained his intentions, he only told Fang Huairui what to do, but Fang Huairui had eyes and a brain, and he could see and think.

In the past few days, Fang Huairui was flustered at the beginning, and then gradually calmed down, planning to find a new turning point in the crisis. He has been quietly observing the young eldest prince.

It has to be said that Chu Yi's strategizing, his grasp of the timing, his speculation of people's hearts, and his understanding of the overall situation all made Fang Huairui look at him differently. At a young age, his mind is so delicate and meticulous. Step by step, he pushed things forward to the situation he wanted.

Everyone is just a pawn in his hand.

Pounding!

Fang Huairui's heartbeat suddenly accelerated twice, his eyes sparkled, and he was quite excited.

With Chu Yi's scheming and methods, he is obviously a wise master worthy of allegiance.

Kang Wang is powerful, Chu Yi needs the help of nobles, and the Fang family is also useful to Chu Yi, and cooperation with each other is beneficial to both parties.

What's more, if the Fang family can help Chu Yi succeed, they will be able to take it to the next level!

At this time, Chu Yi pulled out the short sword completely, carefully looked at the thin and sharp blade, and said without looking at Fang Huairui, "Fang Huairui, sit down."

Hearing this, Fang Huairui was finally completely relieved, and the smile on his face deepened by three points.

He didn't sit down in a hurry, he arched his hands carelessly, and bargained with Chu Yi with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness, for the sake of completing this errand for His Highness, can I be excused from my crime? Don't worry, Your Highness. From now on, I will definitely take good care of this mother-in-law Yu!"

Fang Huairui smiled warmly, as if he and Chu Yi had been acquainted for many years. Between words, it seemed that he was not threatened by Chu Yi this time, but received an errand.

He said these words really sincerely. After this lesson, he will not only restrain the Yu family well, but will not let the Yu family go easily.

Chu Yi smiled lowly, and danced a sword flower casually, the simple movements were as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water.

The silver sword light reflected in Fang Huairui's eyes, making him dazzled for a moment, his heart tightened, and he was uncertain.

He always felt that something was wrong, recalling what he said just now, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.

Chu Yi simply put the sword back into its sheath, then put it aside, made a "click" sound, and asked, "Fang Huairui, do you know that there is another person hiding in the Yu family?"

His tone was very calm, as if he was chatting with Fang Huairui.

"..." Fang Huairui looked at Chu Yi in astonishment, confused.

Chu Yi said slowly: "In February of the first year of the Tianli calendar, there was an aunt in Yu's family who returned home with her newborn son."

"The year before, when Empress Yu and Emperor Hongwu died in the sea of ​​fire, they were said to be eight months pregnant.

When Chu Yi said these two sentences, it seemed that he was talking about an insignificant matter, and it seemed that there was a needle hidden in the cotton.
