At the same time, Song Jue also chatted with Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Bai Meng about Prince Liang and Prince Su.
Unlike what Mr. Xue did, the late emperor and Mr. Shen did not conceal the past of being stabbed in the back by their brothers. The late emperor, in particular, told Song Jue in detail the story of what happened to him.
Therefore, Song Jue knew much more and in detail than others.
"Prince Liang? Prince Su?" Shen Cha took a sip of tea, looked at Shen Haolin, and then at Song Jue, "I heard that he was deprived of his throne and driven out because of his misbehavior and misbehavior. Xijing? According to the records, he was sent to the mountains on the southwest border?"
"You also said it was based on the dossier records." Song Jue chuckled, "Records are records, facts are facts, the two are far apart."
"The key problem is with Prince Liang's Crown Prince Song Yuesui and Prince Su's Crown Prince Song Junran. These two are not easy-going people." Shen Haolin sneered, "These two have had bad intentions from the beginning. .”
"Haolin, it should be said that Prince Liang and Prince Su have their own problems." Seeing Shen Cha and Bai Meng staring at him, Song Jue said in a soft voice, "They have the same father and mother. Brothers, their mother-in-law is a noble concubine, with a higher status than the emperor's grandfather's mother-in-law. Therefore, they have not paid much attention to the emperor's grandfather since they were young. Although the people of the Song family are born with a love of freedom, they do not like to be They are bound by the throne, but there are a very small number of people who are very keen on power and hope to get the chair they dream of.”
"Is this what these two princes are like?"
"That's right." Song Jue nodded, "It's a pity that these two are old, but not smart, and have no abilities. Apart from relying on their mother and concubine, they can do evil outside the palace and bully others with their power. The errands assigned to them were not done well, and they asked Grandpa Huang to clean up the aftermath for them. After the aftermath was done, they shamelessly said that Grandpa Huang had stolen their limelight, and they would have done better without Grandpa Huang. .”
"So..." Shen Cha and Bai Meng heard this for the first time. They looked at each other, "Are you shameless?"
"That's right!" Bai Meng also nodded, "It's really shameless. Aren't they afraid of being exposed? Are their true colors exposed?"
"People are invincible, they have no shame, and they don't take anything else to heart. Besides, this is all trivial. They have also done more disgusting things, more than once or twice. As long as they get involved with them, it will be... ...It’s hard to explain in one sentence.” Song Jue sneered, “My father once told me a few jokes. I’ll pick the most disgusting one and tell you about it?”
"Tell me!" Bai Meng was particularly curious and approached Song Jue, "I want to hear it, how disgusting can it be."
"Father said that it was the first and only time that Grandpa Huang went on an errand with Prince Liang and Prince Su. At that time, there was a flood in the south, and they were ordered to provide disaster relief. The journey was not very peaceful. You have also done similar errands. , I must know that once a natural disaster occurs, it will be followed by a man-made disaster, and many people will be desperate because of the delay in disaster relief and the inaction of local officials."
"The fallen grass is a bandit."
"Xiaocha is right. Especially during that period, the borders were not very peaceful. They were all rushed together. The situation was very serious."
"In those few years, everyone's life was not very good. Several surrounding countries also suffered from natural disasters and were in chaos." Shen Cha added, "Not only that, the Kingdom of Jin also experienced chaos once, although it didn't last long. , was quickly put down, but it also caused a great impact.”
"I know this too." Shen Haolin nodded, "Many people died, and it affected many people's lives."
"It's no wonder they were so crazy during that time." Song Jue sighed softly, "Let's get back to the topic and continue talking about us. At that time, Grandpa Huang was on official business trip to the capital, but Prince Liang and Prince Su were not there at all. They were just joining in the fun, thinking they were going out to Beijing to have some fun,"
"Going out of the capital to play?" Bai Meng's brows never relaxed, "Didn't you know what you were going to do before you left the capital?"
"Of course they know, but they don't care. They think it's just a matter of giving out food and money. So, they are particularly delayed. It was originally expected to be ten days of journey, but it ended up taking almost a month to arrive. Then. , they also colluded with the local yamen in an attempt to embezzle disaster relief money and food, but their plots were destroyed by the emperor's grandfather. Although the process was very bumpy, the job was still done well, but King Liang and King Su had to pay for the emperor. Grandpa didn't expose what they had done, but actually arranged for Grandpa Huang to freeze for a whole night. When he arrived in Xijing, Grandpa Huang had a high fever and could not enter the palace at all. These two shameless guys took the credit for this time. Take it as your own.”
"This... this is really disgusting. I have never seen such a disgusting person." Shen Cha looked disgusted, "Does my great-grandfather not know at all about the dirty things they did?"
"They always do things without scruples and concealment, how could they hide it?" Song Jue shook his head, "Although there were no shadows at that time, there were similar ones. The guards around my great-grandfather were always following them secretly. , secretly observing their performance. When my great-grandfather sent his own guards, on the one hand, he was to protect the three of them. On the other hand, this disaster relief was also a test for them. If they passed, they would be included as candidates for the throne. People who cannot pass will lose their qualifications. At that time, the three of them did not know that one was working conscientiously on errands and the other two were living and drinking all day long."
"Every move they made was transmitted back to Xijing in time? To great-grandfather's ears?"
"That's right. Therefore, no matter what tricks Prince Liang and Prince Su use to grab credit, they will not succeed."
"So, how did great-grandfather respond to their nonsense?"
"It was exposed on the spot. Although he was his biological son, he was not merciless at all. Each of them got thirty slaps, a three-year salary fine, and a half-year grounding." Song Jue sneered, "That's it. Evil is rewarded, but these two harbored a grudge. After the ban was lifted, they targeted Grandpa Huang several times, but all failed. On the contrary, the more they struggled, the more capable they became of Grandpa Huang. In the end, Grandpa Huang became Without the owner of that chair, those two can only be idle princes, without even a serious errand."
"So, they pinned their desire to seize the throne on their own sons?"
"That's right!" Song Jue nodded, "What's gratifying is that their sons have more brains than they do, their methods are much more advanced, and they have a lot of scheming. Otherwise, how could their father and the others be fooled? Woolen cloth?"
"Are you really fooled?" Shen Cha's eyes widened and he looked at Song Jue curiously, "Hurry up and tell me."
