Jiang Xian: “…”
——
Imperial study.
The retired emperor sat on the golden throne with his brows pinched, while several ministers were chattering about countermeasures.
"Your Majesty, this prince is too bold. He actually recruits guards and servants, and privately... trains soldiers privately." The Minister of Justice shook his sleeves in anger.
"Your Majesty, not only that, the prince has also arranged his people around you, Your Majesty, and the Crown Prince." The secret guard told the news he had found out.
"What?" The emperor's face suddenly turned cold and angry, "Is there someone around Xiaoxiao too?"
He can be around him or not, but he must not be around Xiaoxiao.
The prince is not a big threat to Xuan Zhao, and the soldiers he employs are not a big threat to Xuan Zhao either. He can just send a group of imperial guards to pacify them. However, if Xiao Xiao is abducted, that would be a big threat to Xuan Zhao.
"Yes, His Royal Highness has the most arrangements around him."
"Hurry...quickly bring Xiaoxiao to my side." The emperor held the imperial table in panic.
"Grand Emperor, please don't be anxious. How did the prince arrange his people around you, Your Majesty, and the Crown Prince? This is a bit strange." The Minister of Revenue asked suspiciously, "You are surrounded by some powerful martial artists. Where did the prince find such powerful people?"
"Your Majesty, think about it. Xuan Zhaofan was a martial arts expert. Before Your Majesty ascended the throne, he privately recruited them to his Prince's Mansion. How did the princes train people with the same strength as those recruited by Your Majesty in just five days? And it's not just a dozen people, it's a large group."
All the ministers knew about this.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has several groups of highly skilled martial artists in the dark, and he recruits them privately every time. After Qi Lan surrenders to Xuan Zhao, His Majesty will definitely recruit Qi Lan's people.
There is no way this prince can snatch it from Your Majesty.
The Emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and he said affirmatively, "The guards and servants hired by the Prince's Mansion are all Yu'er's people."
Five months ago, Yuer has been on guard against the Prince?
Although he did not take care of state affairs, he was actually aware of all the matters concerning Xuan Zhao, big and small, and he might even have considered them more than he did.
He knew that the prince was recruiting servants, but Xiaoxiao was still young at that time, and his mind was all on Xiaoxiao, so he didn't think about it carefully.
Yu'er thought that the prince might not just be recruiting servants, so he sent his men to the prince.
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. You can go and ask His Majesty. Think carefully why there are so many people around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In fact, they are protecting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Prince has been fooled by His Majesty." The Minister of Revenue raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Hahaha, he is worthy of being the son I raised." The emperor showed joy on his face.
The Minister of Justice twitched his lips, "Your Majesty, why don't you pretend again?"
The emperor glared and asked, "Why am I pretending?"
"Just pretend to be totally clueless, just like what you did just now."
"Do I need to pretend?" The retired emperor picked up the memorial and flipped through it.
"No...no need." The Minister of Justice said hesitantly.
"The Emperor." Eunuch Feng pushed open the door of the imperial study and smiled bitterly, "His Majesty said something unimportant, don't disturb him."
"Your son Yuer said that the prince secretly raised a large number of soldiers and arranged people around him, me, and Xiaoxiao. He said it was not important?"
"Yes." Eunuch Feng frowned, "That's what I told His Majesty. His Majesty told me not to disturb him. I wanted to persuade him, but His Majesty told me to get out of here. I thought His Majesty might not be awake yet, so he did this. I'll tell His Majesty again later."
The emperor picked up the teacup and took a leisurely sip, "No need."
Eunuch Feng said this, it seems that the people around the prince are really Yu'er's people.
"No need?" Eunuch Feng was slightly surprised.
"Everyone, please leave. For today, just pretend you don't know and play with the prince." The retired emperor said in a good mood.
"Yibai, the emperor."
