Chapter 297 Undercurrents, the Prince's Plan

"There is still a chance for this matter to turn around. Besides, the current situation is very good for Your Highness!"

"Hmm?"

After hearing what Zheng Xuan said, Ning Shu couldn't help but look even more puzzled. The situation is very good?

Now that we are all going to be sent out to sit on the bench, the situation is still very good.

"Mr. Zheng, now that my father has sent me and the second brother out, doesn't it mean that he has made up his mind to make Brother Sheng the crown prince?"

"Hehe, that's true. Brother Sheng's aura has been hanging over our brothers since we were young. Even the second brother who is now in the limelight is nothing compared to the eldest brother?"

"Forget it, let's leave Beijing. If you can be released, it's not bad to be a local emperor!"

"Your Highness!"

Zheng Xuan's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty will never make His Highness Sheng the crown prince!"

"Hmm?"

Looking at Zheng Xuan's determined look, Ning Shu couldn't help but show some doubts: "Why?"

"Because, His Highness Sheng He has disagreed with your majesty's political views since childhood, and he is too loyal and upright. If he sits in this position, my Dayu's world will change. "

"Besides, if your majesty really wants to make King Sheng the crown prince, why would he wait until today?"

As soon as Zheng Xuan finished speaking, Ning Shu's face lit up with hope again, and he couldn't help but say hopefully: "So, what does it mean that Zheng Gong just said that the king's current situation is very good?"

"I got a little news..."

Zheng Xuan went up to him and whispered to him. Ning Shu was horrified and almost fell to the ground. He shook his head again and again: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"He is my Dayu's warrior God!"

"How could it be?"

"Brother, it will never happen..."

After Ning Shu looked dazed for a while, Zheng Xuan also said softly: "Your Highness, whether it is true or not, I have sent people to the Western Border. There is no smoke without fire."

"Besides, I heard the news from an old soldier of the National Defense Army who was on the Western Expedition. This matter... is probably true!"

Ning Shu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "So, what is Duke Zheng's plan?"

"Your Highness, if the news is true, why does His Majesty insist on sending you and Prince Yong to the frontier at the same time?"

"Little do you know that at this time, turmoil is most likely to occur, and it is even more necessary to establish a crown prince to reassure the people?"

"But His Majesty still regards the only possible What does it mean that Prince Yong, who replaced Prince Sheng, was sent out? "

Ning Shu also fell into deep thought, and said: "If you think so, then the emperor has only two intentions!"

"First, he is jealous of Prince Yong's background!"

"Second, he intends to test Prince Yong's ability."

"However, I prefer the latter."

Ning Shu sighed sadly: "I also heard that the emperor intends to let the third brother stay in Beijing to assist in the administration this time."

"Your Highness, don't worry, just do the current things well. Since His Majesty asked you to preside over the case of Prince Huai's treason, take this opportunity to perform well!"

"As for the rest, don't worry too much!"

"Hmm!"

...

Qi Lin Wang Mansion.

Ning An and two staff members sat in the garden, blowing the cold wind and brewing hot tea.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, you are one step closer to the position of crown prince."

"Not necessarily!"

Ning An shook his head slightly, but his expression showed a hint of joy that was hard to conceal: "This time, my father intends to let me stay in Beijing to assist in the administration. In my opinion, it is a test."

"However, Brother Yong's exile is beyond my expectation!"

"His mother is a princess of the previous dynasty. How can my father let him leave Beijing..."

"Now Brother Yong's reputation in Dayu is no less than that of Brother Sheng back then. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is suppressing the court. But my father exiled him at this time. Could it be that he is deliberately suppressing him?"

After Ning An muttered for a while, the two think tanks sitting next to him also nodded frequently.

"Your Highness' words are not without reason. His Highness Prince Yong's background is destined to be a hurdle for him to become the crown prince!"

"Before the late emperor died, he could have made a will that Concubine Xian would never be the queen."

"Now, although His Majesty's thoughts are hard to figure out, it is a good thing for you that the Second and Fourth Princes have been exiled one after another!"

"If you can make His Majesty look at you with new eyes during this period, you may have a chance to become the crown prince!"

Ning An also nodded in agreement, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. Whether it's Brother Sheng or Brother Yong, I, Ning An, think I am not inferior to others."

"Now that I have a foundation in Qilin, I can go further and enter the court. Even if I take a step back, I can continue to go back and manage my fiefdom."

"Since I am at the center of the storm, I might as well wait and see."

...

Xun'an Palace.

Old Six hugged two beautiful maids and went to bed early, but was awakened by a faint knock on the door, and frowned slightly.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, secret report!"

Hearing the word secret report, Ning Xun instantly became energetic, pushed away the beauty who was pressing on his arm, and walked out of the bedroom wearing a long gown.

"Your Highness."

"Go to the main hall."

As Ning Xun walked, his expression became completely different from usual, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes. He walked to the main hall and sat at the top, with a few figures standing sparsely below.

"What happened?"

"Your Highness, there is news that His Highness Prince Sheng died in the battle in the Western Territory."

As soon as these words came out, Ning Xun's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he looked at the old man below: "Has this matter been spread?"

"It should be hidden. The Fourth Prince should have received the news. There seem to be some rumors in the city recently."

"However, His Majesty seems to be deliberately concealing the news."

Ning Xun pondered for a long time and said softly: "Send someone to investigate in detail. This king wants to know the exact news and the details."

"Yes!"

"Your Highness, I have also received news that His Majesty seems to intend to let the Third Prince stay in Beijing to assist in the administration!"

"Yes!"

Ning Xun looked indifferent and said softly: "If the news from Brother Sheng is true, I am afraid no one can leave Beijing these days."

"Recently, take good care of the people in the mansion, go out less, talk less, and cause less trouble."

"Yes!"

"You guys should return to the fiefdom first and continue to increase the efforts to reclaim wasteland. Now that spring plowing is about to begin, The curved plow invented by Prince Yong is quite interesting. After returning, promote it in Xun'an!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Your Highness, now that His Majesty is determined to establish a crown prince, should we make some plans and stay in the capital?"

"Fools!"

Ning Xun showed a trace of disdain on his face: "I have spent all my efforts to build a solid iron plate in my fiefdom. Now I stay in the capital, isn't it a cocoon for myself?"

"Besides, even Prince Yong has been released. Do you think my father will really establish the third child?"

"How stupid!"

Listening to the angry scolding of their own prince, the several staff members below were all respectful, without any anger, but bowed their hands and said: "Thank you for your teachings, Your Highness!"

"You will return to Xun'an one after another tomorrow!"
