If the emperor can take the initiative to deal with the third prince, it will certainly be better than them doing it secretly.
"The third prince's father-in-law is a salt and iron envoy. He is a guard who steals and sells private salt. Now he is detained by Dali Temple for investigation.
"This autumn hunting, a temple in Dali Temple is also there. I think the third prince intends to approach that temple, but he hasn't found the opportunity in the past two days.
"My father is most afraid of his son getting too close to Minister Humerus. A prince forming a party with a minister is a threat to his imperial power."
After Xiao Yuchen finished speaking, Wen Jin smiled.
It turns out that the prerequisite for "being kind" is not threatening oneself.
The sons plot against each other and check and balance each other, but this allows the old father to sit back and relax.
Therefore, he can turn a blind eye.
"Does Jin'er have any medicine that can make people drink without getting drunk?" Xiao Yuchen suddenly asked.
Xiao Yuchen wants to invite Wen Jin to watch a show.
But this scene is a great test of one's overall monitoring. If there is even a slight difference, the desired effect will not be achieved.
Although Wen Jin knew Xiao Yuchen's plan, she didn't know how he would do it? Can he do it?
Wen Jin gave him a medicine that would make him drink too much but not get drunk.
There was no time to make it into pills. Wen Jin boiled the medicine with Lingquan water.
"It's not a pill, but it's convenient." Xiao Yuchen poured the medicine into the bottle and took it away.
Wen Jin didn't know who he was going to use this medicine on.
Ask him, and he blinks mysteriously.
"Don't worry Jin'er, just watch the show."
No, Wen Jin said that she was still worried about his overall control and execution abilities.
There is a lively bonfire feast this night.
The emperor had hunted the bear, and the dragon was so happy that he decided to keep Wen Yu by his side no matter what.
When Wen Yu heard what his parents said, he turned out to be a brat and pulled Xiao Yunjie to sit next to the emperor with him.
"You are the emperor's eldest grandson and brother. Let's sit together." Wen Yu's big, childlike eyes were full of sincerity.
Xiao Yunjie knew that Wen Yu had such a miserable life as a child, and he was no longer jealous of the child.
The two brothers also showed humility to each other over who was closer to the emperor.
The emperor suddenly became even more happy and asked people to rearrange the seats. He arranged two grandsons, one on each side.
Upon seeing this, all the ministers hurriedly came forward to congratulate the emperor, saying that the prince and Prince Huai were close, and the emperor's eldest grandson was close to Prince Huai...
The royal family is in harmony, and everything in the family is prosperous.
The emperor was even more happy when he heard this, with a smile hidden in every fold on his face.
Wen Jin held the wine glass and glanced at the third prince.
The third prince was not very happy, even though he tried his best to grin.
But the stiff muscles at the corners of his mouth revealed his true state of mind at this time.
"I am very happy that the country is at peace and the people are at peace. All the ministers are the pillars of the imperial court. Without your hard work, there would be no such peaceful and prosperous times!" the emperor said with a toast.
The ministers also quickly raised their glasses, "My emperor is a wise king. It is because of my diligence and integrity that the people can live and work in peace and contentment..."
The monarch and his ministers exchanged business boasts and drank a lot of wine.
Yesterday, the cook that the emperor poached from King Huai's tent became the "chef" who directed the cooks to barbecue today.
I heard the ministers showing off and exclaiming, "Today's barbecue tastes as good as it has ever tasted before!"
"This meat doesn't even have a fishy smell! The fishy smell and grassy smell are covered, and the meat aroma is even stronger!"
"Hiss...this spicy taste, the first time I took a bite, I felt my mouth was burning like fire...it's quite good! Let's have some more spicy taste!"
Ancient people kept their diet relatively light.
Here in Daliang Kyoto, there is not even chili pepper.
Wen Jin's chili peppers were bought in large quantities from Sichuan by the medicine shop keeper when he asked them to buy medicinal materials.
There are also cumin, fennel, star anise and other condiments, some of which are common condiments in later generations, but are still not used as condiments in spices today.
Everyone drank a lot of wine and showed off a lot of meat, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
The emperor was already drunk. He raised his hands to support his head and closed his eyelids while watching the performance in front of the bonfire.
"Your Majesty, should you go and have a rest?" Eunuch Gao immediately stepped forward and said.
The emperor held Eunuch Gao's hand, stood up and went to the tent.
As soon as the emperor left, the atmosphere at the banquet became truly relaxed and lively.
A female family member came forward to say hello to Wen Jin.
Wen Jin glanced at the third prince from time to time.
The third prince stood up and left the table!
Wen Jin immediately went to look for Xiao Yuchen.
But I saw that he was still changing glasses with others, and he was already drunk.
Wen Jin:......
Did you agree to treat her to a show?
She should have thought that he was unreliable.
Just as Wen Jin was thinking about it, Xiao Yuchen stood up and staggered towards her.
Xiao Yuchen stepped forward and put his arm on her body, smelling of alcohol.
When the other female relatives saw such a wild move, they all shyly stood up and avoided it.
"Let's go..." Xiao Yuchen took Wen Jin's hand. Seeing Wen Jin turn around, he said again, "Ji Feng will take Yu'er back."
He looked drunk, but his voice was extremely sober.
Wen Jin was pulled away from the banquet by him.
As soon as she left everyone's sight, Xiao Yuchen picked her up.
"you……"
"Shh-"
Xiao Yuchen hinted that he should be silent, and then he hugged her, jumped up, and tossed around...
Stepping on the treetops, flying through the forest.
I saw a bright white patch of water from a distance... It was the river surface illuminated by the moonlight at night.
There is a river behind the camp. At this time, the riverside is silent.
Compared to the carnival and bustle in the big camp...it seemed even more dead here.
"Look..." Xiao Yuchen raised his chin towards the river.
Wen Jin looked in the direction he pointed.
I saw two people emerging from the woods.
"Why did the third prince invite the officials here? There is no one here, it's scary!" said the middle-aged man's voice.
"Of course I have something to discuss with you. What's the progress of my father-in-law's case now?" the third prince asked.
"The Minister of Dali Temple attaches great importance to this case and has handed it over to the Shaoqing to personally supervise and handle it. The subordinates are not very clear about it!" Dali Temple was saying.
"Ha," the third prince sneered, "There is no one else here, why are you talking to me like an official? Shaoqing Supervisor, you are working under the same roof, how can you not know anything? If I am good, it will be easy for you. If I It's hard, how can you be alone?"
When Wen Jin heard this, he couldn't help but stare slightly...
Listening to these words, Dali Temple was actually colluding with the third prince!
"Third Prince, don't be angry. Shaoqing has been ordered to be wary of his colleagues regarding this matter... The official has also been taking care of it, that is... the people above and below all have very big tastes. Please give me some time... …”
The temple was in a state of embarrassment.
"Oh, I have troubled you with this matter. As the head of the temple, there are also Shao Qing and Qing of Dali Temple. It is not easy for you."
By moonlight.
Wen Jin saw the third prince holding Si Zheng's hand.
The third prince specially wore wide sleeves tonight, and his wide sleeves completely blocked the movements of their hands.
This immediately completes the "deal".
Where's the play?
Xiao Yuchen wouldn't just ask her to watch this, would he?
Wen Jin turned his head to look at Xiao Yuchen.
"Don't worry," he seemed to see her doubts, "keep watching..."
Just when Wen Jin turned around, a dozen black figures suddenly appeared on the calm river bank in the blink of an eye, surrounding the two of them.
The two were taken aback and were about to run away separately.
"You guys have eaten too much. Would you like to take a walk late at night to eat?"
The emperor, who had been drunk for a long time and had gone back to his tent to rest, was supported by Eunuch Gao and slowly walked out of the darkness.
When the third prince and Teramasa saw the emperor, their legs went weak, and they both fell to their knees.
"Father..."
"Your Majesty, forgive me..."
