Chapter 887 The snipe and the clam fight
"You also said that they were talking and laughing with me. If I were touched by them, would I still be able to laugh?" Yan Yaner argued anxiously.
Cai Muchi said with a smile: "When you came to the Prince's Mansion, you had just had a miscarriage and got pregnant before marriage. You have done such immoral things. Just now, in order to survive and protect yourself, you most likely gave up your body. Beggar.”
“Nonsense! You are the prime minister’s daughter, how can you say such a thing?” Go, it is said that the roof has collapsed, and there are many people watching the show."
When she said it back, Cai Muchi's face froze, and she quickly walked to the prince's side and said aggrievedly: "Your Highness. I know that I am innocent.”
The prince's face was ashen.
The two women in front of me can be described as equals.
However, one is the adopted daughter who was kicked out of the Yan family and is of no use.
The other one is the prime minister’s daughter, so it’s still useful to keep her.
Thinking of this, he glanced coldly at Yan Yan'er who was kneeling on the ground, and said to the servant with just one glance: "Send to the beauty Zhuangzi."
"What is Beauty Zhuangzi?"
Yan Yaner looked around and saw the sneer on Cai Mushi's face, thinking that the so-called Beauty Zhuangzi was not a good place.
She quickly walked to the prince on her knees, ignoring the pain of her knees rubbing against the stone pavement, and cried: "Your Highness, I still want to serve you, and I don't want to go to Beauty Village."
The prince ignored it. She gestured with her eyes to the people following her.
The guards immediately dragged Yan Yaner away.
Yan Yan'er struggled, turned around and asked: "Where is Beauty Zhuangzi? Your Highness, I don't want to go!"
Cai Mushi hummed and smiled, walking slowly in front of her: "Beauty Zhuangzi is naturally a place for beauties. , you have to thank His Highness for letting you go to Beauty Village. Otherwise, you will be thrown back into the beggar pile and you will stop?"
Yan Yan'er was startled, but her intuition told her that it was definitely not a good place to go.
No matter how much she yelled or struggled, it was useless, and she was quickly dragged away.
The shouts faded away.
The prince looked at Cai Muchi with cold eyes: "The handiwork of the concubine?"
Cai Muchi bowed her head with guilt: "Your Highness, how could I do such a thing?"
"There is only one woman on my side. Even if there is no beggar incident, I will not keep her in the prince's house for too long. You are too anxious."
The prince left a word and walked back to the study.
Cai Muchi was left stunned in place.
Soon, the corners of her lips turned up sarcastically.
So what if the prince guessed that it was her work?
The prince also has to show her favor, and the princess cannot defeat her.
Just as Cai Mushi thought, the Crown Princess turned pale after knowing that Yan Yaner was sent to Beauty Zhuangzi.
"Why is this Yan Yaner so stupid? Why was she kidnapped while she was shopping? Even if she was really not touched by another man, according to the prince's suspicious personality, she would never do it again. I want a woman like this.”
The prince has such a personality.
If you fall in love with a beautiful woman, even if she has been married and had children, as long as she is by the prince's side, she will only be a man to the prince. He can ignore the woman's past affairs.
But if the woman is touched by another man after him, he will never want her again.
The maid advised: "Crown Princess, the current problem is that the concubine's sister is also in the house."
As soon as she heard this, the Crown Princess picked up the scissors and started cutting at the bonsai. .
At this moment, the prince summoned all the staff in the palace.
"My father's physical condition has been good and bad, so I have to prepare for a rainy day."
"What His Highness said is true. I wonder what His Highness wants me to do?" The head of the staff bowed. ask.
“When the first assistant of the cabinet was Cai Tingzhou, Gu Zi did not have to worry about any differences in his ascension to the throne. Now the first assistant of the cabinet is Fu Ciyi. This person has fought several times in secret with Gu Ming, so he is worried about the succession. There are obstacles.” A staff member suggested: “Your Highness might want to consider changing the cabinet minister?”
“Change him?” The prince frowned, “Who?”
"The emperor's attitude towards young ministers is much better than that towards old ministers. I think it will be much easier to replace the chief minister by starting with the young ministers who are favored by the emperor."
The prince nodded after hearing this. : "That makes sense. Who do you recommend as the new chief assistant?"
"How about Tanhua Lang?" the staff member who just spoke replied.
Someone immediately retorted: "Who is worse than Tanhualang? I would say that there is one candidate who should be very suitable, and that is Yan Xinghe, who is second on the list."
"Yan Xinghe is Fu Ciyi's Brother-in-law." The prince reminded, "They are relatives."
"Your Highness may not have heard that whenever cabinet ministers discuss important matters, Yan Xinghe always raises objections and often confronts Fu Ciyi."
"Is there such a thing?"
" Yes, it's absolutely true. Not only that, it is said that Yan Yan'er and Yan Xinghe had a very good relationship. After Yan Funing was recognized by the Yan family, the rest of the Yan family loved her, but Yan Xinghe was different. sparse "It's far away." The staff member said, "My subordinates have already inquired clearly about this matter. In the past, no one else was allowed to ride in Yan Xinghe's carriage. Only Yan Yan'er has ridden in it, and Yan Funing has not."
"It's clear what he hates." The prince smiled, "It can be seen that Yan Xinghe doesn't like Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing in both big and small matters."
The staff nodded: "That's true."
< br>
The prince pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "It's not Gu's original intention. After he ascends the throne, he doesn't need any chief assistant to assist him."
He wants to make the decision himself.
He wants to grasp all the power in his hands.
“What does His Highness mean?”
“Yan Xinghe is a personal choice, and you can win over him at your own opportunity. If he is obedient, he can become the next chief minister. But Gu’s purpose is to win over Yan Xinghe Dog bites dog with Fu Ciyi. If Fu Ciyi has someone to deal with him, Yan Xinghe will not be in any good situation.”
The Yan family has always been neutral, euphemistically claiming to support the legitimate prince.
But he knew that the Yan family had always supported royal orthodoxy.
In their eyes, he, the prince, is not the legitimate heir to the royal family.
The Yan family is too arrogant.
Especially Yan Xinghe, who was freezing to death.
A match with Fu Ciyi.
These two people have similar talents and similar personalities, so they really can't go together.
In this case, he can use the snipe and the clam to compete with each other to benefit the fishermen.
The staff all praised: "Your Highness is a good strategist!"
The prince smiled lightly. Before that, he had to send someone to investigate the true relationship between Fu Ciyi and Yan Xinghe.
——
The Royal Palace.
Fu Ciyi had just finished reporting the recent official affairs of the Hanlin Academy to the emperor. As soon as he left the imperial study, he met the second prince head-on before walking a few steps.
“Your Highness.” Fu Ciyi nodded in greeting.
"Master Fu, please take a step to speak." The second prince raised his hand.
"Your Highness, aren't you going to look for the Emperor?"
"I'll look for you."
The second prince grabbed Fu Ciyi's arm and walked to the corridor in the corner.
Fu Ciyi calmly pulled out his arm and asked quietly: "What's the matter?"
The second prince looked around and said softly: "Master Fu gave me an idea earlier, father. The emperor cares for me very much. I want to cooperate with you further. Do you agree?”
