Rebirth: The first daughter-in-law

In the dark room, the second prince and Ning Guogong were sitting up and down.

"Second Prince, I have to apologize to that unfilial son for what happened last time..."

Without waiting for Ning Guogong to mention it again, the second prince chuckled and interrupted Ning Guogong's words, "Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties. In my opinion, Prince Zhao is a talented and charming person. It is indeed a bit unfair to be paired with the fifth lady of the Xie Mansion.

After the matter is completed, it would not be a bad thing to marry the third lady of the Xie Mansion to Prince Zhao."

When the second prince said this, Ning Guogong shook his head quickly, "This matter is inappropriate, please take it back, second prince."

"As for women, it's just a passing thing. Since Prince Zhao loves the third lady, of course he can't wrong him." The second prince's attitude is very good. In front of Ning Guogong, there are some things that should be said, so he has to say them.

Keeping it in mind would only make each other suspicious, which is not what he wants.

After the second prince said this, Ning Guogong also knew that if a woman caused a rift between the two parties, it would be a loss outweighing the gain.

Since the last time when the second prince accidentally bumped into the awkward conversation between Ning Guogong and Zhao Shizi, this was the first time that the second prince took the initiative to bring up the matter.

After pondering for a while, the second prince asked Ning Guogong: "In Mr. Zhao's opinion, how should the court attack now?"

Now the emperor's attitude is to support the deposing of the prime minister and establishing a cabinet. However, due to Prime Minister Wang's current status and disciples, it is difficult to make a big fuss, fearing that it will chill the hearts of the civil servants.

Ning Guogong's eyes were very sharp, "In my opinion, the emperor's move is to separate the power of the prime minister, which is conducive to the concentration of imperial power. Prime Minister Wang has been in power for decades. He can't be overthrown if he can. The emperor wants to be punished."

Prime Minister Wang, you still have to think about how to silence the world."

"Yes, I'm afraid my father is worried about this." The second prince's cold eyes showed a hint of smile, "This Prime Minister Wang is currently doing Tai Chi with his father. Although the two of them are not competing on the surface, privately

I'm afraid we have to pave our own paths."

"According to the second prince, are we going to accomplish this or not?" Ning Guogong bowed his head and said.

There was no expression on the face of the second prince, and he just said coldly: "Last year, my father was obsessed with refining elixirs, but he didn't have so much energy for court affairs. I don't know what tricks the concubine Rou used to coax her into.

My father gave up the elixirs and used medicated food to recuperate his body. Over the past year, my father's health has gotten better and better. If this continues, it won't be a problem for my father to stay on the throne for ten or twenty years.

.”

When the emperor was obsessed with elixirs, the second prince often put people in. Although the emperor threatened on the surface, his energy was being consumed in his bones. Others couldn't see it, but they knew it in their hearts. If the situation continues like this, it won't be possible.

In three to five years, the emperor's body will definitely collapse. Who knows...

Ning Guogong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said: "In my opinion, since the emperor wants to reduce the power of Prime Minister Wang, why don't the second prince push the fire and promote this matter. I think the emperor will be happy, and we can also add to it."

My own hands."

"It is not a good thing to try to force Prime Minister Wang to step down. Over the years, I have hinted to him many times, but he has never responded to my words." Thinking of this, the second prince couldn't help but tap his hand on the chair.

A place of deep thought.

Ning Guogong's invitation said: "Your Majesty does not want to abolish His Highness the Crown Prince, so naturally he also wants to see what the people below are planning. Prime Minister Wang is an old fox, and of course he will not express his position. According to my opinion, we should start with Mr. Xie.

As long as Mr. Xie returns to us, everything will be easy to talk about."

The second prince smiled and gradually asked: "Master Xie is your old relative. These days, you and Master Xie have become closer. What's the attitude there?"

"Master Xie is naturally willing to obey the second prince's instructions!" Ning Guogong clarified the answer the second prince wanted in one sentence.

Ning Guogong handled affairs with tact and cruelty, and won the second prince's heart very much.

"I think Mr. Xie must be very eager to take the throne, so let's help him and let him beat Prime Minister Wang at the same time. I'm afraid he will be more accurate and faster than us!" the second prince replied with a smile.

Ning Guogong nodded in agreement, "I will definitely handle this matter for the second prince."

Nowadays, the second prince is most worried about his father's poor health. Ever since His Highness the Crown Prince was disfigured by their cooperation, he has become a little more anxious about waiting for the throne.

No matter how deep the Second Prince's palace is, Ning Guogong, an old fox, can still tell a difference.

"The existence of His Highness the Crown Prince is just a pawn of the Emperor. The Second Prince must not be impatient, lest others take advantage of this great opportunity."

"Sixth brother has been very quiet recently. I just don't know what he is busy with. He used to be close to me, but now he is getting farther and farther away." The second prince said lightly.

Duke Ning Guo responded from the side, "I'm afraid Duke Rong's thoughts are very active."

In response to this, the second prince snorted coldly, "Rong Guo Gong has a dandy like Shi Jiaqi to inherit the title. I think my future will be over soon."

Shi Jiaqi's reputation is unknown to everyone in the capital today. He eats, drinks, whores, gambles, and supports actors, and his reputation is always out of shape.

"Concubine Hua's power should not be underestimated." Ning Guogong replied firmly. Since he chose to side with the second prince, he naturally had his own agenda. "There is also the third prince. Although he seems to be indifferent to the world,

, but we have a good relationship with Young Master Gu San of the Duke of Jin's Mansion. Just in case, we can't take it lightly."

"The Duke of Jin's family is full of loyal men. They always know how to advance and retreat. They will retreat to the second line after they have achieved meritorious service. Now there is no one else in the imperial court except the second young master Gu who has taken up a sinecure position." The second prince's

There was a trace of blur in his eyes. He seemed to see the Duke of Jin's mansion very clearly, but it seemed as if he couldn't see anything clearly.

Apart from the Duke of Jin, the other supporters of the four major princes in the capital are very obvious. The Duke of Wei belongs to the princeling party, the Duke of Rongguo belongs to the party of the sixth prince, the Duke of Ningguo belongs to the party of the second prince, and the Duke of Jin belongs to the party of the third prince.

A royalist party? No one is sure about this.

Looking at the Duke of Jin's Mansion again, Mr. Zhao no longer cares about world affairs. Mr. Zhao Er lost his legs in the war that destroyed the men of the Duke of Jin's Mansion. Now he only lies in bed every day. Mr. Zhao San and Zhao Si

The master and Mrs. Zhao were all killed on the battlefield.

Young Master Gu of this generation is mentally retarded. Second Young Master received a fifth-grade casual position in the imperial court. Third Young Master Gu doesn’t care about the affairs of the court. I heard he only helps the family with some business matters. Fourth Young Master Gu

The young master has no interest in martial arts...

No matter how you look at it, the Duke's Palace of Jin looks like an old family that is about to decline.

The third prince's mother-in-law came from a palace maid, and the power of her natal family is not worth mentioning at all. Fortunately, the third prince is self-aware and never participates in government affairs. He only studies some things about Confucius and Mencius in the academy in the capital. On weekdays,

There was nothing else here except poetry exchanges with classmate Fenghuaxueyue. His temperament was exactly the same as that of the fourth prince, so it was no wonder that these two princes were closest to each other.

Ning Guogong stood on the side of the second prince, naturally he thought that the second prince was the most powerful, and even the sixth prince was held in the palm of his hand.

"Second Prince, please don't forget that Miss Ningxiang was bought by Young Master Gu. I wonder if Young Master Gu knows something?" Ning Guogong's eyes are very penetrating.

The current Duke of Jin's Mansion does not look like there is any sign of trouble, but with so many years of experience, he will not easily let go of any possibility of speculation.

Of course the second prince knew about this matter.

"So what if I buy it? Don't you still know what kind of character Ningxiang is?" The second prince believed this very much, "This time, it's best for Gu Haiyuan to shoot himself in the foot. He's smart.

If we were fooled by our cleverness, we don’t need to take action. I’m afraid Sixth Brother will be more anxious than us.”

"Second Prince, what do you mean?" Duke Ningguo's mansion was a little confused.

"Sixth brother thought he was smart and exposed Ningxiang to Gu Haiyuan. He just wanted to use Gu Haiyuan's hand to see how much he knew about the Yunteng treasure map and bring trouble to me.

"The second prince just snorted, "With so little effort, he still wants to compete with me for food. Ningxiang is just a chess piece I arranged for him, but he thinks that Ningxiang has always been his, stupid.

!”

Even Ning Guogong secretly admired the second prince's scheming and foresight.

"How is the investigation going on those Yunteng treasure maps?" the second prince asked.

Ning Guogong replied, "We already have three copies in hand, and the other three copies have been found by the old minister, and they are all in the Xie Mansion."

This news shocked the second prince, "Isn't there only one copy in the Xie Mansion? How could it become three copies?"

"The news I received is that the pictures of the Ma family and the Zhou family were taken away by the father of the prime minister's wife from the beginning, and were later given to the prime minister's wife as a dowry."

"Then Liu Yixiang is so cruel that he is willing to give his daughter a dowry with such a huge fortune."

Ning Guogong looked at one place and said lightly, "Liu Yixiang sacrificed three sons in order to get this wealth, leaving only a daughter. This is also a sin. Only those who have a hard life can enjoy this huge wealth."

Thinking about it, although Liu Yixiang took three treasure maps, he finally left without a chance to get the remaining three. I don't know if he regretted it when he died.

"Then Xie Jingya doesn't know at all that there are three treasure maps in her dowry?" the second prince asked calmly.

Ning Guogong was very confident about this point and said: "Not to mention Xie Jingya, even Prime Minister Wang and the Prime Minister's wife don't know about this."

"Sooner or later, Xie Jingya's dowry will go to Duke Ning's palace. According to my opinion, it would be better to go in early to avoid long nights and dreams!" The second prince said with an evil smile.

Ning Guogong's face sank, but he had to tell the existing facts in his heart.
