Chapter 46 Conspiracy
The Mingguang Palace fell silent, Jun Rong got up from the dragon chair, looked at the thoughtful Xiao Yu, and asked hesitantly: "Why did the prince let them leave like this? They obviously don't want to hold the enthronement ceremony, and they don't want to admit me..."

When it comes to Jun Rong's expression in the back, it turns out that the emperor is not so easy to be. He sits here, and the eyes of the ministers below seem to strip him naked, as if his little thoughts have been seen by them. Chu.

Xiao Yu came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's not so easy for them to admit it, but it's not easy for them to object, so they can only delay and find another way, but this is not a bad thing for us. Also waiting."

"Wait? Wait for what?"

Jun Rong was puzzled, but Xiao Yu did not continue to say: "Let's go back first, this is not a place to talk."

"okay."

The two left the Mingguang Hall one after the other, and went straight to the Imperial Study Room.

Jun Rong's memory is surprisingly good. After walking in the palace a few times, he memorized the way to the Imperial Study Room, and he walked ahead without anyone taking him with him.

"From today onwards, I'm here to teach Your Highness how to read and write. Let's work harder, learn more every day, and grow up quickly, so that they won't let them underestimate you. Is Your Highness willing to endure this hardship?"

Jun Rong nodded seriously, "I am willing, I can endure hardship!"

Xiao Yu hooked his lips and smiled: "But these few days can't make you work too hard, you are still sick, come on, let's continue to learn, those people want to delay, I won't let them delay too long, after three days they all You have to come to court for me."

Jun Rong blinked, and rubbed the ink by herself: "What good idea has your son thought of?"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly: "Your Highness will wait and see."

……

The two people here are busy learning characters and reading, and the people on the other side are not idle.

After Zhang Taifu came out of the palace, he went straight to Yunlai Pavilion, the largest inn in Kyoto. The sedan chair stopped at the entrance of Yunlai Pavilion, and the people coming and going just turned around and left without paying much attention.

The business of Yunlai Pavilion is just like its name, customers come like clouds, and every day, all kinds of sedan chairs come and go at this gate, and the dignitaries and dignitaries of Kyoto often come here for a small gathering.

Taifu Zhang is also a frequent visitor here. As soon as he arrived at the door, Xiao Er warmly greeted him, "Master Zhang, it's been a long time. Are you still going to the old place on the second floor?"

Zhang Taifu nodded reservedly: "En."

"Okay, then please do what you want, just call me if you have any orders!"

Zhang Taifu waved his hand perfunctorily, Xiao Er turned to greet others, and he went up the stairs to the second floor by himself.

The second floor is full of elegant rooms, which are named rather elegantly, such as Ruoshuiju, Jianjiaju and so on.

The one commonly used by Zhang Taifu is called Qunyingju, which is located in the first room at the end of the corner of the stairs.

When Zhang Taifu pushed the door and entered, there were already three people sitting inside. Seeing him coming in, they looked over at the same time, and then the middle-aged man sitting in the middle greeted him: "Master Zhang just came, the dishes have just been served, and the wine is also full." Come on, I'll be waiting for you, come on, sit down!"

Zhang Taifu closed the door with his backhand, cupped his hands at the three of them and said: "Sangong is just hiding here, the poor old man is being squeezed out in the palace!"

Rong Guogong, who was the first to speak, said with a smile: "What did Mr. Zhang say, who can beat you in civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty?"

"that is!"

Ning Guogong sat on the left and took a sip of wine, "Who doesn't know that Mr. Zhang was born with a sharp mouth and learned a lot of money. How can ordinary people be your opponent? I'm afraid you didn't make them cry?"

"Hahahaha-"

The two of them laughed, the Duke Zhen on the right didn't say a word, and looked at the wine glass in front of him expressionlessly, not bothering to lift his eyelids.

Zhang Taifu took another look at him when he sat down, and then said seriously: "You guys are wrong, this time, I really lost."

"Oh?"

Duke Rong and Duke Ning looked at each other, "How do you say that?"

"They are all sensible people, so let's not pretend to be confused. You two must have known about the turmoil in the Prince Regent's Mansion back then. You have heard about Xiao Yu's eloquence, right?"

Ning Guogong stroked his beard, "Well, this old man has heard about it a little bit, but it was in the Prince Regent's Mansion. Could it be that he is so arrogant when he comes to court today?"

"What's more?"

Thinking of Xiao Yu, Zhang Taifu felt his teeth itch with hatred, "He manipulated His Highness the Eighth Highness, spouted nonsense in the court hall, even wanted to simplify the enthronement ceremony, and the Eighth Highness let him do whatever he wanted, without saying a word, a puppet emperor is nothing more than that, How pathetic!"

As he spoke, he thumped the table gently, with a heartbroken look on his face.

"His Royal Highness is still young, so he is easily deceived by others, and it is indeed difficult to handle."

Rong Guogong said this in a vague way.

"Exactly!"

Zhang Taifu seemed to have found a confidant, and said with a straight mind: "At the beginning, I thought it was absurd to say that the eighth prince was in charge, not to mention that he didn't understand anything, just talking about his background, the son of a lowly dancer, being a prince would be as good as heaven." How can you be the king of a country? Isn’t that ridiculous?”

"Obviously there are so many princes in the royal family, which one is not better than him?"

"Poor His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, alas, Kong has a talent and a noble background, but was forced to depose the late Emperor by the regent's traitors on trumped-up charges."

Mentoring this incident, Taifu Zhang felt uncomfortable. The prince was his student. He had been waiting for the prince to ascend the throne, and his status would rise. Unexpectedly, he was cut off halfway and the prince was abolished, which made him feel very embarrassed.

Rong Guogong laughed and said: "Master Zhang be careful, there are only four of us in this room now, it's okay to talk, but the partition has ears, so be careful not to be overheard by those who want to."

"So what does it sound like? I came today just to ask the three of you—"

Zhang Taifu stood up abruptly, his gaze was full of determination to risk everything, "Sangong, would you like to overthrow Xiao Yu with me, and you are still in His Highness the Crown Prince? His Highness the Crown Prince is the orthodox one. If the Crown Prince ascends the throne, we will all be meritorious officials." ,how?"

After the words fell, the three of them remained silent, and Taifu Zhang couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

He clenched his hands tightly, his face flushed red: "Could it be that the three of you are going to be inferior to the two little boys? In the future, you will spend your whole life mediocre with just a few words in the history?"

Ning Guogong's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled slowly: "Hey, Mr. Zhang is too impatient, aren't we thinking about it? To put it bluntly, what about the little puppet, if it doesn't hinder us, it's better Make sure, as for Xiao Yu... he has the military power in his hand, and the Dingguo government is backing him, how can he be overthrown so easily?"

"That's justified, Mr. Zhang. It's clearly written in the imperial decree that it's passed down to His Majesty the Eighth Prince. It's justified. If we insist on staying at the crown prince, we're going against the current!"

Rong Guogong picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it slowly.
