Every day I want to quit my job and farm

Chapter 156

When Shen Xi returned home for lunch, rumors about the deposed prince had spread widely.After Qiao Ke ordered someone to prepare the meal, he asked anxiously: "Master Liu really lost his child? Did the prince do it? They are brothers, since they are so cruel. Is Lord Liu very sad?"

Qiao Ke also almost lost a child, and Shen Xie understood that Qiao Ke felt the pain of Liu Wengzhu's encounter.Shen Xie sat down and took Qiao Ke's hand: "To be honest, I don't know. Lord Liu kept this matter quite tightly, and no one even knew whether he was really pregnant. It doesn't matter whether he directed and acted on his own or lost his child. If you blame the prince, what happened is a foregone conclusion. The prince will not be able to stand up."

"I hope this is not true." Qiao Ke held Shen's hand tightly, "I hope he didn't lose his child."

"I hope so." Shen Xi squeezed Qiao Ke's hand and sighed, "No one cares about the truth, they only care about the result. Now that the crown prince has fallen, the one who is most likely to ascend to the throne is the third prince and one of the six princes. The court will become more and more unsettled, and the fighting will become more serious."

"The emperor hasn't woken up yet?" Qiao Ke asked worriedly, "If the emperor can't wake up, will it be bad for us?"

"I'll wake up." Shen Xi patted Qiao Ke's hand lightly and said, "I'll go to the prison tonight. I have something to ask the prince."

Qiao Ke nodded: "You go. I will arrange the affairs in the house properly, and no one will know your whereabouts."

Shen Xi smiled lightly, he did have a lot to ask the prince, and he would not be reconciled if he didn't ask clearly.At night, Shen Xi took a low-key carriage to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.The prison chief respectfully led Shen Yu to see the prince, and then withdrew without disturbing the conversation between the two.

The prince didn't seem surprised to see Shen Xie at all, he stood up: "You were the one who came first. What do you want to say to Ben Gong?"

"Since I entered Beijing, you have been instigating many things that have happened behind my back." Shen Xie looked at the prince coldly with his hands behind his back, "For example, Baiyun Temple; for example, impeaching me for being mean and ungrateful; and for example, tampering with the temple built by the Ministry of Industry , I want to implicate the barracks. Prince, I have nothing to say to me, why are you targeting Qiao Ke? Do you know that you almost caused him to lose his child, and made him regret his whole life."

"I know." The crown prince stared at Shen Yu, "So what? Do you think I will care? To achieve great things, there are always some sacrifices. It's just that I can't figure it out. Shen Bufan, when did you doubt Bengong? What is the flaw in this palace?"

"Isn't the flaw obvious?" Clenching his fists, Shen Hao's eyes were angry and cold, "No matter what happens, there is always a beneficiary behind it. The third prince and the sixth prince have accidents one after another, but you make friends with me by transporting food and grass .You want to provoke me, the third prince, and the sixth prince, and then use it for you. If you fail once, you will try to repeat the old trick in the matter of the Ministry of Industry. Prince, you are too underestimating me."

"I really underestimate you." The prince laughed at himself, "I should get rid of you at all costs. I shouldn't let you live until now. Without you, I won't lose. Even the third and sixth So what if we join forces, without you, this palace cannot be defeated."

"Really." Shen Xi said indifferently, "But in my opinion, you are bound to lose. No matter how good you pretend, you are faking after all. A fake will never come true, and sooner or later someone will expose you. The prince is virtuous? You just laughed so hard, do you know what the people say about you now? Do you want to hear what the people who praised you in the past think of you after your true face is exposed?"

"Do you think this palace cares?" The prince looked at Shen Yu with a mocking smile, "I don't care about anything."

Shen Xi smiled, I don't know if it was a mocking smile or a pitiful smile.He shook his head: "Anyway, the only thing waiting for you is death. What do you have to be afraid of. I want to tear you into pieces. Seeing you so pathetic, think about it. Instead of letting you die, let you lose Isn't it more painful to live? Look, His Royal Highness, who was once aloof, is standing in prison right now, with rats."

"No matter how much you humiliate me, I will never bow to you." The prince stared at Shen Yu, "Shen Bufan, you are delusional, I will never bow to you. You will never break my pride. Ben The palace is waiting for you to use all means, and you will be defeated in the end."

"A crushing defeat..." Shen Xi stretched out his hand to touch the iron railing, "Is His Highness the Crown Prince talking about himself?"

There were footsteps outside, getting closer.Shen Xi saw Zheng Xi, whose face was still pale, and whose frail body was wrapped in a cloak, which made people feel distressed.Zheng Xi followed Yue Nian, Yue Nian was holding the wooden case, which was covered by a white cloth, and she didn't know what was on it.

"You're here too." The prince smiled, "Is the youngest waiting outside, if you don't kill me, he will do it?"

With downcast eyes and a faint smile, Shen Xi walked past Zheng Xi.Zheng Xi didn't look at Shen Yu, but fixed his eyes on the prince, full of anger and hatred.

Shen Xi walked out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and met the third prince Zheng Lin.Zheng Lin recovered and looked at Shen Yu: "The conversation between Mr. Shen and the prince is over? The night is dark and windy, can Mr. Shen accompany me for a walk? This king really wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Shen."

Looking at the smiling Zheng Lin, Shen Hao probably understood why the third prince and the sixth prince appeared.It seems that the prince will not survive tonight...

prison.Zheng Xi stood in front of the cell door, Yue Nian stepped forward and pulled the cloth off the wooden case.Zheng Xi's eyes were extremely indifferent: "I choose the one. Even if I wish to dig you out and flog you a hundred times, for the sake of the royal family's face, you must die decently."

The prince looked at the things on the wooden case. There were three-foot white silk, poison and daggers.As death approached slowly, the crown prince turned to look at Zheng Xi: "Sixth brother, are you confident to suppress the current Shen family? Can you deal with the current Shen Bufan? Do you really think he will miss your old relationship? The Shen family is in full swing, Power is at the mercy of the ruling and opposition parties, and no matter who sits in that seat, he will be emptied and become a puppet emperor."

"You don't need to worry about this matter, we are the living ones to do it." Zheng Xi picked up the bottle of poison and handed it over, "You just have to die in peace. After you die, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will not investigate any further, and neither will your matters. It will be made public. You will be buried with dignity."

Staring at Zheng Xi in shock, the prince approached in disbelief: "The Ministry of Punishment is now in Shen Bufan's hands. How can you do it?"

"Father will make a decree." Zheng Xi stuffed the poison into the crown prince's hand and said, "Father has woken up, and no one knows. Father hopes that he will hear the news of the prince's suicide as soon as he wakes up. Father can feel pain For the reason of losing your beloved son, I will give you dignity in life and keep the face of the royal family. Fourth brother, since you know that the Shen family is in full swing, you should know how to make a perfect end to this matter."

The prince looked at the poison in his hand, and remembered the scene of being filial with Xuan and the emperor's father when he was young.Father, Father...

On the street, Shen Xi walked slowly along with Zheng Lin.Zheng Lin smiled and said reminiscently: "Do you still remember the scene when we met in Sihai County? At that time, the king was very surprised because you had changed so much. It is very funny to think about it now, don't you think?"

Shen Xi didn't find it funny, he didn't want to see the third prince at all.What's more, at that time, Qiao Ke was still inflated, thinking about it made me angry.

"Bufan, what do you think makes a good emperor?" Zheng Lin looked up at the sky with a smile, "Diligence in government and love for the people? This king thinks this is just one of them. Bufan, you want the imperial court to set up imperial examinations for female brothers, and this king agrees. This king can also help you do it."

Turning to look at Zheng Lin, Shen Wei smiled lightly: "But first I want to help you ascend the throne? Third prince, what do you think is your advantage?"

"You want to improve the status of a female elder brother. This idea is indeed more persuasive when the sixth younger brother ascends the throne." Zheng Lin did not answer Shen Yu's question, "But I feel that you don't want to do that out of selfishness. The king you want to be They all support it with all their strength, and there is absolutely no falsehood."

prison.The prince gently uncorked the poison bottle and looked at Zheng Xi: "Sixth Brother, how sure are you of ascending to the throne of God?"

"Ten to ten." Zheng Xi said without hesitation, "No matter who obstructs, I will eradicate them one by one."

Seeing the almost crazy obsession with power in Zheng Xi's eyes, the prince smiled.He raised his head and drank the poison, threw away the bottle and laughed loudly: "Fourth brother can't wait for the day you ascend the throne. Congratulations in advance for the sixth brother to be crowned the great treasure and become the emperor of our country. Long live, long live, long live."

As soon as he finished speaking, blood was left on the corner of the prince's lips.He fell down with a smile, and lightly grabbed the straw on the ground with his hand, father...

Zheng Xi watched the prince die before turning and leaving.Yue Nian followed with a wooden case, Weng Lord will definitely become the new emperor!

on the street.Shen Xi was silent, he really didn't want Lord Liu to ascend to the throne of God.The relationship between Master Liu and Shen Bufan is only one of the reasons, and the danger to the Shen family is the bigger reason.The third prince is the same as the sixth prince, they are equally smart, and they also bear the pride of the superior.Therefore, no matter how nice he said before ascending to the throne of God, he would attack the Shen family afterwards and hold all the power in his own hands.

"I will think about it carefully." Shen Yu said ambiguously, "It's getting late, I should go back home. Let me go."

Shen Xi finished speaking and left.Zheng Lin watched Shen Xi walk away and showed a wry smile, did he really want to?If he doesn't choose the sixth younger brother or him, who is the ideal candidate in Shen Bufan's mind?If you choose neither, I hope Shen Bufan will not help you.

Qian Zhang stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Just now there is news that Lord Liu has left the prison of the Criminal Ministry. The deposed prince committed suicide by taking poison."

"The sixth brother belongs to the fourth brother after all." Zheng Lin sighed, "It is the first child of the sixth brother, so it doesn't hurt."

"My lord, it is the best situation for Master Shen not to help anyone." Qian Zhang persuaded, "We each have a chance of winning depending on our ability."

"Shen Bufan, no one knows what he's thinking in his heart." Zheng Lin waved his hand, "He often does things on the spur of the moment. He doesn't help anyone now, who knows when he will change his mind. In order not to let him have If the opportunity is to stand on the side of the sixth brother, we have to take action. Spread some rumors about the sixth brother and Shen Bufan, you don’t need to make a big deal, just criticize it. It seems small enough.”

"Yes." Qianzhang thought about it, "Can you send a letter to Qiao Ke? After all, the prince has saved his life, so let's find out..."

"No need." Zheng Lin thought about Qianzhang's words, "Don't involve him. It's Shen Bufan's taboo to touch him. If he doesn't get it right, it will only mess up the matter. You are not allowed to make such suggestions in the future, let alone go behind your back. The king will do it. Otherwise, there will be no punishment.”

Qian Zhang bowed and saluted, Zheng Lin turned and got into the carriage next to him.The carriage drove slowly, Zheng Lin sat in the carriage and thought of Qiao Ke's whole body glowing at that time.Shen Bufan wanted to take the female brother's imperial examination, it was because of Qiao Ke in the first place, right?A brother as talented as Qiao Ke really shouldn't be stuck in the back house all his life.Shen Bufan loves Qiao Ke very much, even more than his sixth brother, he knows it, he knows it...

In order to avoid suspicion, in order not to make Qiao Ke sad, Shen Bufan will probably not help the sixth brother.Zheng Lin lowered his eyes, he couldn't say whether he was happy or unhappy, but he just felt a little pity.If Qiao Ke is sad because of this, does he have a chance?What a ridiculous idea...

[The author has something to say: _(:з」∠)_ The best thing about the third prince is to think about it, just think about it, and not know what to do]
