Royal palace, cabinet.
"His Royal Highness, this is the memorial that was collected today."
"Two hundred and fifty copies in total."
"Thirty of them have nothing to do with political affairs, and one hundred and twenty are to praise the grand master's great achievements."
"The remaining part is related to the treasury issue, and my servant has sorted it out for you."
Zhao Zhong, the eunuch in charge of the cabinet, respectfully reported to Song Yu who was sitting behind the desk.
Zhao Zhongnai was a eunuch promoted by Grand Master Shangguan Yi. He had been writing in the cabinet for nearly twenty years.
As a supporter of the Grand Master, Zhao Zhong naturally obeyed the Grand Master's advice, including compiling memorials every day and presenting them one by one to the Prince for review.
Only a close confidant of the Grand Master can gain such trust.
For Zhao Zhong, this is simply a supreme honor.
Song Yu was obviously very familiar with this set of procedures and nodded lightly to Zhao Zhong.
"Thank you, Eunuch Zhao."
The dignified princes were all so polite to him, and Zhao Zhong's vanity was greatly satisfied at this moment.
When the prince succeeds in inheriting the throne in the future, wouldn't he be the well-deserved first eunuch in the royal family?
"Your Highness took your time to take a look, and the servant took his leave first."
Zhao Zhong waved his hand and signaled the other two eunuchs in the cabinet to follow him and leave.
The prince reads the memorials every day, which the grand master started arranging a year ago.
Not many people knew about this, they were all close confidants of the Grand Master.
Naturally, the matter was kept secret, and the news of Spot has never been leaked.
As usual, Zhao Zhong waited quietly in the cabinet courtyard.
When it's time to send the memorial, go in and remind the prince.
However, there was a distant noise outside the cabinet courtyard, which made Zhao Zhong couldn't help but feel excited.
"Xiao Linzi, go out and see what's going on..."
"boom!"
It's too late, it's fast.
Before Zhao Zhong could finish his sentence, he saw the door of the cabinet courtyard being kicked open by a guard.
"B-Meet the Second Prince!"
"Meet the Third Prince!"
"And...the fourth prince?"
Zhao Zhong knew that something was wrong when he saw a few men with bad intentions and led a group of guards to barge in!
"I wonder if several princes suddenly came to the cabinet today. Is there anything important?"
Although he probably already knew the purpose of several people's visit, Zhao Zhong was after all an old eunuch who had been in the officialdom for many years.
After being slightly surprised, he quickly regained his composure.
Standing behind the prince is the powerful grand master!
Even when the emperor faced the grand master, he had to show some face.
Just a few princes, what kind of trouble can they cause?
Seeing Zhao Zhong pretending to be calm, Song De, who took the lead, snorted coldly.
"Prince Song Yu, ignores His Majesty, and the following is an offense!"
"Now my father is in good health and in the prime of life, but the prince secretly came to the cabinet and peeked at the memorial!"
"This is a crime of great disrespect and treason!"
"Today, my king will replace my father and deal with this unfaithful and unfilial son!"
"Someone is coming!"
"Search the prince for me and bring him to my father!"
Song De gave an order, and dozens of guards swarmed forward. Several eunuchs in the cabinet were unable to resist!
Zhao Zhong was shocked. He didn't expect the second prince to have such strong tactics. He couldn't help but dare to search the cabinet!
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince!"
"The cabinet is an important place for storing memorials and His Majesty's secret orders!"
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with what you're doing!"
"If I turn around and blame him, it's not a small crime!"
Zhao Zhong was indeed a veteran for many years. With just a few words, he brought out all the remaining scruples in Song De's heart.
However, now that we have reached this juncture, there is no room for Song De to turn back!
Seeing Song De's wavering, Song Huan immediately decided to pour another handful of hot oil on his spark that was about to be extinguished.
"Yes, second brother!"
"The eldest brother is my father's eldest son. Whatever he does, my father will naturally tolerate it."
"But the second brother broke into the cabinet without permission, which is not a small crime!"
After saying this, even Song Huan himself couldn't help but silently complained about this behavior.
Isn’t this a pure green tea act of supporting fire?
What is this called?
This is called watching a tiger fight from the other side!
Sure enough, under Song Huan's provocation, Song De, who was still worried at first, became firm and fierce again.
"The Crown Prince simply ignored His Majesty during this trip. How is it any different from treason?"
"For the sake of my father, even if I am punished, I will admit it!"
"Search for me!"
"No need to search!"
As soon as Song De finished speaking, he saw Song Yu calmly walking out of the cabinet door with a calm face.
"I just happened to come here today to avoid the incompetence of these cabinet eunuchs and delay my father's approval of the memorial!"
"The second brother is quite impressive. Those who don't know better would think that the second brother is going to bring people here to loot the cabinet!"
The moment the two people's eyes met, the air was instantly filled with the smell of gunpowder!
Song De stared at Song Yu with hatred, wishing he could eat his flesh and drink his blood on the spot.
"What? Does the prince like to experience the feeling of being in power so much?"
"My father is clearly in good health. As a prince, you don't know how to abide by your duties. You dare to overstep your authority and interfere in politics privately!"
"This is tantamount to conspiracy!"
"Today, I will replace my father..."
"Are you taking my father's place?"
Song Yu interrupted Song De sharply.
"You are just a concubine prince, what qualifications do you have to replace your father!"
"I am the crown prince! It is my duty to look after my father!"
"It's not your turn to yell here!"
After saying that, Song Yu snorted coldly and did not intend to pay any attention to Song De.
Of course Song De was furious.
After finally grasping Song Yu's pain point, how could he give up such a great opportunity so easily!
"Don't leave!"
"Stop the prince for me!"
"Let me see who dares!"
Song Yu's eyes were about to burst, and he shouted back the guards with a trembling voice.
Seeing that these prince guards were obviously wary of him, Song Yu was extremely proud.
As a prince, he has a deep-rooted backer like the Grand Master behind him.
He's just a second prince, and he still wants to punish himself?
Daydreaming!
Song De was extremely angry.
Seeing his guards being shouted back by Song Yu, he felt even more angry and filled his chest with ten fingers tightly embedded in his flesh!
The veins on his forehead popped out, it was already unbearable.
If you can't bear it anymore, there is no need to bear it anymore!
Finally, he lost his last remaining sanity.
"Traitor, suffer death!"
Song De suddenly shouted and pulled out the sword he had snatched from Song Huan.
With a kick of his feet, he rushed to Song Yu in a few steps.
"Father, this sword can kill all traitors! I don't believe it, but this sword can't deal with you, a disobedient prince!"
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Song Liang, who had been hiding behind him, was shocked.
"Second brother! Don't be impulsive!"
Song Yu, who was originally complacent, did not expect that Song De would be so excited.
He subconsciously used his arm to block the sword, but his movements could not be faster than Song De, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood!
Soon after, Song Yu felt a sharp pain in his forearm.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of warmth and blood flowed!
Song Huan silently took a few steps back and stood at the base of the wall, watching the chaotic scene in front of him coldly.
Messy? That's right!
These two people, one is arrogant and the other is reckless.
If he didn't make a fuss this time, how could he be worthy of Song Huan's painstaking efforts in planning in advance!
