Zheng Ying put her mouth close to Fulin's ear and said in a low voice, "Chenqie has figured it out. This move of hers should be called the 'trick of injuring oneself to gain the enemy's sympathy'. If you don't believe what I said, why don't we do an experiment? Would you please find a place to hide in the room first? After Chenqie coaxes out what she says, no matter what you think, I will definitely expose her true colors for you to see. " Fulin impatiently said, "Zhen does not have time to play tricks with you. If you don't shut your mouth, won't you be satisfied only after you are thrown out?" Zheng Ying was at her wit's end. She could only walk out of Fulin's line of sight, lean against the wall and sigh.
After an indeterminate period of time, a young eunuch quietly crept into the room and called out in a low voice, "Your Majesty?" Fulin snorted. The young eunuch said in a low voice, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Prince Yu requests an audience."
Fulin hesitantly said, "Prince Yu? Ay … Zhen is restless today, there is no harm in postponing the discussion of government affairs. " The young eunuch said, "Your servant also reported this to Prince Yu, but Prince Yu said that he has an extremely important matter and must see Your Majesty immediately. You see …" Fulin sighed. He thought that he had to give some face to Dodo. "Forget it," he said, "Let's listen to what he has to say, so as not to delay the important matter." Turning toward Zheng Ying, who was hiding in the corner, he called out, "Come with Zhen."
Zheng Ying was fully aware that he was worried that she would secretly harm Shen Shiyun, so he definitely did not want her to accompany him. But she thought that since there would be no outsiders present, even if she coaxed out the information, there would be no witnesses. It would be better for her to stay by the Emperor's side. At least she could be a witness, and she could take the opportunity to eavesdrop on the two people's conversation. Prince Yu usually did not have much contact with Fulin in private, so this time he suddenly appeared extremely urgent. Based on his intuition, Fulin could guess that the matter was very serious. "Yes," the young eunuch who followed Fulin to the right also obediently followed him out.
When they reached the hall, they saw a tall and thin figure standing by the table with his hands behind his back. His eyes casually swept over the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. His eyes were indifferent, as if he was admiring the paintings, but also as if his eyes could penetrate the wall and look into the unknown. Hearing footsteps, he calmly turned around. It was Prince Yu Dodo. Although Fu Lin was impatient, he couldn't show it too much. He took a few steps forward and said, "Imperial uncle, you are in good health."
Duo Duo's face remained calm as he put on a fake smile and said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. This subject has come to pay my respects to you. I couldn't find you in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, so I came here. Please don't blame me for my rudeness. Did I disturb you in any way? "Before Fulin could speak, Zheng Ying smiled and said," Prince, you came at the wrong time. Consort Yun was injured and unconscious just now. His Majesty is burning with anxiety. His heart is completely tied to her. I'm afraid he won't listen to anything that has nothing to do with him. "
Dodo asked curiously, "Consort Yun was injured? Did the Snow Song Palace recruit assassins again? How … how is this possible? " He thought, "Chu Menglin, that girl, has been staying in the residence for the past few days. How can she be distracted and kill people? Could it be that the other members of the Devil Sect are causing trouble? "
Zheng Ying was joking in front of Fulin. Originally, it was just a casual remark, but when he saw Dodo's surprised reaction, it seemed like he had inside information. There must be something hidden in it. He rolled his eyes and pretended to be relaxed with a smile, "Oh? Prince seems to know a lot about those assassins? Otherwise, why would you use the word 'again'? Were you there when she and Li Yijie were assassinated? "
Dodo was even more surprised, "When Shen Shiyun was assassinated for the first time, I was watching from the side. Why did she say that she was negotiating with Li Yijie? But I was the one who brought that fake bodyguard into the palace. It's not convenient to explain. She covered it up for me. Does she have a favor to ask of me or does she have other intentions? Forget it. No matter what her intentions are, I don't need to expose my shortcomings. " He replied, "Consort Yun was assassinated. It was widely spread in the palace a while ago. This Prince has also heard about it. However, I rarely have any contact with her. As for this Snow Song Palace, other than visiting the Emperor today, I have never set foot in it. This time, I said it was impossible because the palace is heavily guarded and there are many experts. How can assassins casually appear? "
Zhenying smiled and said, "His Highness is at least very concerned about this matter. If there is a first time, there will be a second time. The assassins failed once and felt unreconciled. They knew that they were like moths to a flame, but they still came. What can't they figure out? Could it be that Prince knew about the assassins' actions in advance? " Dodo raised his right eyebrow and said coldly, "Consort Zhen is eloquent and aggressive. Do you want to accuse this Prince of being the mastermind behind the scenes?" Zheng Ying smiled and said, "I don't dare. This Consort is just discussing with Prince. If there is an assassin in the palace, it must be a person with a great background. Who could it be?"
Fulin didn't know the details of the first assassination. When he heard them mention it, he secretly paid attention. After a few words, he couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. He thought, "The more Consort Zhen talks, the more ridiculous it is. Prince Yu and Yun 'er have nothing to do with each other. Why would he ask an assassin to kill her?" Seeing Dodo's face as black as the bottom of a pot, he knew that he had always been arrogant. If he was questioned repeatedly, he was afraid that he would immediately explode. He could only be the peacemaker and said, "Imperial Uncle, don't listen to her nonsense. Yun 'er wasn't injured. She … accidentally fell into the water. She was cold and had a high fever. Because she was pregnant with a dragon seed, she hasn't woken up yet."
Dodo said, "Consort Yun is pregnant? That's really great news. This Minister will solemnly congratulate the Emperor. " When he spoke, his tone was joyful, but the expression on his face didn't change in the slightest. How was he like when he heard "great news"? Fulin said, "Many thanks for Imperial Uncle's auspicious words." In his heart, he only felt annoyed. He hoped that this conversation would end as soon as possible. He reminded Dodo, "Imperial Uncle is in a hurry to find me. It seems that you shouldn't have specially come to congratulate me? I vaguely remember that you have another important matter to discuss. "
Dodo was shocked by his stiff tone. He then laughed loudly and said, "So that's how it is. I was wondering why the Emperor's mood was so unstable today. At this moment, you must be anxious to return home. If I continue to nag, it's because I, as your Imperial Uncle, am not tactful. I'm afraid that you will curse me in your belly. "
Fulin said, "What are you talking about? Imperial Uncle, there's no harm in saying it." When the ministers in the palace talked, they were very good at superficial skills. Fulin was influenced by them and learned it vividly. Dodo said, "Okay, then this Minister will make a long story short …" Just as he started, he sighed and said, "But where should I start?"
Fulin heard that he wanted to say something but stopped. It was obvious that he was hinting. The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace had already retreated outside the hall. He glanced at Zheng Ying and said, "You want her to leave?" Dodo waved his hand and said, "No need. To be honest, this matter is just a little … strange. Recently, this Minister has often been visited by the Retired Emperor in his dreams. It has been going on for some time. "
Fulin said, "The Retired Emperor? Are you talking about my Emperor Ah Ma? "Dodo said," No, this Minister is talking about Great Grandfather. This Minister is really muddle-headed and used the wrong address. Please forgive me, Emperor. Although Great Ancestor has passed away for a long time, he is still thinking about the Great Qing Dynasty … "
Fulin snorted coldly and said, "Are you worried that Zhen will not be able to protect the foundation of our ancestors?" He listened to Dodo's words while secretly sizing up his facial expression. He found that his tone and expression did not match at all. Every word he said was obviously insincere. On top of that, he 'used the wrong address' for no reason. When he apologized, he was completely fearless. His tone was flat, but his eyes contained some ridicule. It was as if he was confident that he had Fulin in the palm of his hand. Naturally he was angry and could not help but retort.
Dodo said, "Why is Your Majesty so sensitive? Since your ascension to the throne, you have appointed officials and assistants; you have rewarded the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners; you have treated the people of the former Ming Dynasty with courtesy; and you have congratulated us on our success in advancing the Guannei. You have done many things that benefit the country and the people. To be able to take on this responsibility at such a young age is really commendable. Your Majesty is benevolent and wise, it is really our country's good fortune. " He changed the topic and said, "Now that we have begun to control the Central Plains, there are still bandits rioting in various places, overestimating themselves and trying to restore the Ming Dynasty. The small countries on the border are fishing in troubled waters, repeatedly sending troops to invade our borders. In the past they thought our Dingbang defeated many with fewer troops, they were envious, but they did not realize the disparity in our military strength. Our troops are trained in quality, not quantity. Every time we fight, we can always take advantage of the terrain and make good use of strategy. How can these people compare? If we don't teach them a lesson, these people will not know the immensity of heaven and earth. Chen asks Ying to lead the troops into battle, to pacify the world, to completely eliminate the hidden danger, so that Your Majesty can sit back and relax. Won't that be great? I wonder what Your Majesty's opinion is? "
Fulin heard him speak in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. At first he kept praising his own merits. After all, people were born to love to hear good words. He could not help bursting with joy, but when the war was mentioned, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. On the one hand, he did not know anything about marching and fighting, he could not make any decision, he could only rely on the generals under his command. On the other hand, he was deeply influenced by Shen Shiyun's viewpoint, he hoped to create a peaceful and prosperous world, to coexist peacefully with the common people, rather than using power to oppress people with fear. If he sent troops into battle again, he would certainly harm a lot of innocent people. But as the Son of Heaven, if he was too inclined to admit defeat, he would lose his prestige, so it was inconvenient for him to say these words directly. He said, "Imperial Uncle is wholeheartedly thinking for the Great Qing, Zhen … Zhen owes you a lot. Zhen congratulates Imperial Uncle on being invincible, winning every battle, and returning victorious as soon as possible. "
Dodo laughed out loud and said, "Protecting the home and defending the country is the duty of a subject. Don't mention owes me a favor anymore. Your Majesty's golden mouth and jade words, this time this subject will definitely win the battle and succeed. If there is nothing else, this subject will take his leave first. " Fulin frowned, but he still could not help but say, "If the people scattered all over the world are not people who have committed heinous crimes, it's better to be careful when dealing with them."
Dodo showed slight disdain and said, "May Your Majesty be at ease, this subject is going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, not to slaughter the common people. As long as they do not come to seek death, I have no time to deal with them. Does Your Majesty have any other orders? "Fulin's imposing manner said," No. When are you leaving? "
Dodo said, "As the saying goes, 'Speed is the most important thing in war'. Since Your Majesty has approved, naturally I will leave immediately. But before that, I have to make a trip to Yanglu Mountain. "Fulin's mind turned and said," Yanglu Mountain northeast of Dongjing? You want to go to Dongjing Mausoleum? " Dodo admitted, saying, "That's right, that is the burial place of the Great Ancestor and several princes. This subject is going to pay respects to the Great Qing Ancestral Mausoleum, not only to show my loyalty and filial piety, but also to pray for the Ancestors' blessing and blessing in this battle. Once this matter is over, this subject will directly use the military tally and will not submit another memorial. This subject will know in advance of the Pope. "
Fulin's heart was in a mess. He only felt that his words and actions today were strange. The 'wrong address' and paying respects to the Ancestral Mausoleum seemed to be an intentional hint, but it was reasonable. Therefore, he could not tell what was wrong. He waved his hand and said, "That's right, you go. If you want to offer incense, don't forget my stick. "
Dodo smiled faintly and said, "I won't dare to forget. This subject will take his leave. " He turned around and left. At the same time he waved his right arm, his wide sleeves were raised high, revealing a kind of magnificent and mighty momentum. Fulin suddenly remembered that his words just now were vague and did not seem very auspicious. But since he was already far away, Fulin impatiently called him back and reminded him again.
Recently Zheng Ying had been secretly plotting against Shen Shiyun. Although he failed time and time again, he had exhausted all his scheming. His thinking had also become more meticulous. With a glance he could see that Dodo had some other scheme. He thought, "Prince Yu looks so proud of himself. Isn't it just because His Majesty agreed to let him lead the army? Does he need to be so high-spirited? Could it be that he is so warlike that as soon as he heard that he can fight, he is so happy that he is full of energy? That's impossible, right? There must be something wrong. " Out of the corner of his eye he saw Fulin lift the curtain and enter the inner room to look after Shen Shiyun. After weighing the pros and cons, he suddenly had a plan. He followed closely behind Dodo and quickly chased after him.
