Chapter 77 Situation

On the second day, a carriage stopped in front of Prince Hui's mansion, and when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, two guards rushed forward to help a scribe who was over forty years old.

This scribe is none other than Mr. Zeng, Master Zeng, who has been serving as a resident of the Song family.

Zeng Shidao got off the carriage, put his hands behind his back, and looked up at the door plaque of Prince Hui's Mansion.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps in front of the mansion, and Xie Tu protected Wei Yan to welcome him out.

"Mr. Zeng, you are here!" Wei Yan smiled all over his face and greeted Master Zeng.

"I've seen the prince!" Zeng Shidao hurriedly saluted.

"Mr. Zeng, you don't need to be too polite." Wei Guan gestured towards the door and said, "Sir, please!"

"My lord, please!" Zeng Shidao was very satisfied when he saw Wei Guan's hospitality.

After entering the palace, Wei Guan led Zeng Shidao to the study to talk.

The guests and hosts sit down and offer tea, and then enter the topic.

"Please come to the mansion, Mr. Suzhi, but Mr. Suzhi is a great talent. He wants to borrow his wisdom to help me." Wei Wei said bluntly.

"Meng Wangye did not give up and invited me to the mansion, so I knew everything and said everything." Zeng Shidao said with a slight smile: "I also ask the prince to inform the situation in the palace, so that I can make a plan for the prince."

When Wei Guan heard the words, he began to speak carefully.

At present in the palace, Empress Zhao holds the Phoenix seal and has a high status, but she has only one daughter Wei Bao, the prince of Baibao, and no prince.Concubine Chang Gui has a son Wei Zan, King Cheng, and a daughter Wei Rong, Princess of the Great Wall. Because she is the niece of the Empress Dowager, she has a deep foundation in the palace.Before Wei Zan appeared, the courtiers often guessed that the crown prince would fall on Wei Zan's head.

It's just that the empress and the empress dowager have been at odds with the concubine Chang for a long time. If King Cheng ascends the throne, the empress will find it difficult to deal with herself. Therefore, the empress has been intentionally calling the fourth prince to return to the capital to compete for the crown prince under Cheng Huan's knee.It's just that the emperor has never made a statement, and the fourth prince did not dare to return to Beijing rashly.

Zeng Shidao Nian Xu said: "After the fire in Guanghua Temple of Weidao, the position of Chief of Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities was quickly replaced by Shi Ce. It turned out to be the empress' plan."

"How do you say that?" Wei Yu was shocked.

Zeng Shidao said with a smile: "Shi Ce is Princess Baibao's son-in-law, and now he is in charge of the five cities' army commanders. Once the fourth prince returns to Beijing, the five city army commanders will be driven by the fourth prince. In addition, Shi Ce If you make friends with General Chen, the power of General Chen's faction will also belong to the line of the fourth prince. And the fourth prince, everything depends on the empress."

Wei Guan suddenly realized that only the empress would know when the emperor would come to Guanghua Temple to recuperate, and she would be able to mobilize General Chen, Shi Ce and others.All of this is for Shi Ce's planning for the position of Chief of the Army and Horse Division of the Five Cities, and also for the preparation of the Fourth Prince's entry into Beijing.

Zeng Shidao sighed and said: "The Empress has worked so hard!"

Wei Guan clasped his hands together and asked, "Do you think, sir, that this king should attach himself to the empress and help the fourth prince ascend the throne?"

Zeng Shidao shook his head and said, "My lord is wrong!"

"Dare to ask for advice!" Wei Wei said.

Zeng Shidao said with a straight face: "The prince should try to let the empress know that you are more suitable for her to support."

Wei Yu's grandparents were all dead, and there was no trace of influence around him. According to the faction sent by Empress Zhao, such a person is more suitable to be kept by his side than the fourth prince to compete for the crown prince.

Wei Guan's eyes lit up, and he said to Master Zeng, "Mr. Xie taught me!"

The two of them were talking, and Wei Guan said again: "This king has already met Song Huashan, and wants to keep Mr. in the mansion. Mr. will explain briefly when he returns, and he will come to the manor to be my king's teacher in a few days!"

Zeng Shidao thanked him first, and then said: "I'm just a commoner, who is appreciated by the prince, and is willing to be a staff member in the palace. The teacher said, please don't mention it again."

If the other party said so, Wei Guan would not force it.

Zeng Shidao went back to the Song family, and indeed he explained a few words to Song Huashan. Song Huashan congratulated him when he heard that he was going to serve as an aide in Prince Hui's mansion.

After a few days, Zeng Shidao arrived at Prince Hui's Mansion and formally became Wei Guan's staff.
