Chapter 622: Window Paper
Seeing the Crown Princess holding Dugu Ruyuan hurriedly leaving, Shen Yiyu ordered the opera troupe to continue to beat drums and drums and make fun.
Shen Yishuo suddenly knelt at Shen Yiyu's feet, and was frightened and trepidated, "I have neglected my duty and failed to take good care of Lord Dugu. I beg the Crown Prince to punish him!"
"Third brother, isn't it just a heretic to say that!" Shen Yiyu quickly helped Shen Yishuo up, "Come on, let's talk about the past~"
"I dare not let Your Highness break the precepts!" Shen Yishuo knew that Shen Yiyu had to abide by the rules and regulations, and recited scriptures and worshiped Buddha for the ancestors.
"I will do more good things for the Emperor. I will do less bad things. I will do less. It's not that I can't do them! What can I fear for the third brother?"
Shen Yiyu laughed. He was not so particular. No matter how strict the etiquette was, he was unwilling to blame himself. "Can our father still blame you?"
"Your Highness, I'm very sorry. I'm late and didn't give the last emperor the effort~" Shen Yishuo explained again. He felt guilty when he didn't attend the burial of his father.
"I will forgive you after drinking this glass of wine!" Shen Yiyu filled Shen Yishuo with wine and handed it over.
"Okay~" Shen Yishuo didn't even blink his eyes, and he raised his head and toasted.
"Three brother, aren't you afraid that I will poison this wine?" Shen Yiyu asked with narrowed his eyes. He thought his third brother would be scruples.
"We have more than 20 years of brotherhood, don't we have this trust yet?" Shen Yishuo patted Shen Yiyu's heart with a full face of trust, "Besides, why does His Royal Highness poison the empress?"
"Because you have selfish intentions!" Shen Yiyu directly pierced the window paper between his brothers.
"What do I have for myself? Your Highness please point it out and I will correct it!" Shen Yishuo looked at Shen Yiyu with neither humility nor arrogant.
"No matter what selfishness you have, I have decided~" Shen Yiyu nodded confidently. He had already thought about it.
"Your Highness, as a minister, I can only be sincere to Your Highness, and as my third brother, it is my honor to be able to assist the prince!" Shen Yishuo immediately expressed his determination. He believed that there would definitely be troublemakers around the prince.
"Assist?" Shen Yiyu was half-believing and half-doubted.
"Your Highness doesn't need me?" Shen Yishuo asked back. With his intelligence and talent, he could be Shen Yiyu's military advisor and consolidate the century-old foundation of the Great Zhou.
"Ha~I'll consider it~" Shen Yiyu was thinking, and he was also guessing the feelings of the people in front of him.
To be honest, Shen Yiyu also lacks capable generals. The only person who can trust for the time being is Shen Yihuan. If this elder brother has selfishness, it will be very difficult for him. He also wants to reuse his brothers, but he cannot be appointed by those who cannot confirm their enemies and friends for a while.
"Crown Prince, don't listen to slander~" Shen Yishuo could only click. He could not guess what Shen Yiyu was thinking and did not dare to speak too seriously.
It’s just a person who doubts himself. No matter how much you say you guarantee, it’s better to prove it with practical actions.
"Slander? You have settled your army in Qingzhou. You can defend the border when retreating, and attack the imperial capital when advance. How can I believe you?" Shen Yiyu's tone became colder and colder. He had carefully analyzed the current situation.
"Your Highness, if I brought the troops back directly, wouldn't anyone question me?" Shen Yishuo was afraid that someone would slander him, so he gave a little compromise and let the soldiers stationed in Qingzhou.
"Then why do you want to set up camp in your territory? Don't you want to seize the throne?" Shen Yiyu finally expressed his doubts. Since he had said this, it would be better to start a conversation directly, so as not to suspicion and doubt again.
"Brother Prince, if I have some selfishness, will I return to the imperial capital alone?" Shen Yishuo weighed the pros and cons, and was afraid that he would be charged with treason for the rebellion, so he came back alone without leaving any opportunity for others to talk. Unexpectedly, he was still utterly irresponsible.
"Third brother, I don't want to defend you whether it is right or wrong. Let's do this. Before I change my mind, I will allow you to return to your fiefdom~" Shen Yiyu has already helped Shen Yishuo to find a way out. Instead of turning against each other, it is better to separate early.
"I will keep my life alone and leave the prince to mediate in the court. Such selfish behavior can't be done by my younger brother!" Shen Yishuo was unwilling to leave just like this. Since he decided to help the prince, he had to express his opinion first.
"You also know that I can hide the will for a while, but I can't hide it for a lifetime. If I really have to wait until the wind and clouds are rising in the court, my third brother will have no chance to escape."
Shen Yiyu said the truth. He didn't want to go to the point where his brothers and feet were fratricidal. As long as the royal descendants were safe and healthy, the moment when the war was met, the spirit of the late emperor in heaven would not rest in peace.
"Don't worry, your highness, I just want to assist you, and I will also find a way to calm the rumors with my heart. If... I just said that if... I really want to be an enemy of the prince, I wouldn't be too late to ask my brother to give me a glass of poisoned wine!"
If Shen Yishuo still fails after trying, then he will give up. The most regrettable thing for people is to regret not doing what they think.
If you don’t try, you will never know the result. Even if you win in another way, it will be meaningless.
"How do you want to prove your sincerity?" Shen Yiyu hit the nail on the head, and he could vaguely guess Shen Yishuo's words and deeds.
"Please ask the Crown Prince for instructions!" Shen Yishuo was not afraid of the Crown Prince's request at all. No matter how difficult and dangerous he was, he could go through fire and water for Shen Yiyu.
"You know what I want!" Shen Yiyu nodded with certainty.
"This tiger talisman was handed over to me by the late emperor. When I was given it, I told me to assist Your Highness well. I think it is time to hand it over to you for safekeeping!" Shen Yishuo took out a seal from his sleeve that could command thousands of troops, knelt devoutly at the foot of the prince, and respectfully presented it with both hands.
"What do I want the most? Do you really don't know about the third brother?" Shen Yiyu's eyes showed endless sorrow. No one knew him.
Shen Yishuo in front of him is no longer the boy who can be bullied by him. When he was a child, Shen Yiyu relied on his role as the prince and became king among the descendants of the harem.
In addition to being afraid of the older Shen Yihuan, he had bullied Shen Yishuo Shen Yien and Ze Fenglin.
Ze Fenglin is taken care of by Shen Yihan, so he dare not bully him too much.
Shen Yien is protected by Concubine Zhuang, and he dare not bully him too much.
Only Shen Yishuo had no support and had always changed places to live, so that Shen Yiyu was in a bad mood and asked Shen Yishuo to accompany him to make trouble. If his father accidentally learned about his bad deeds, Shen Yiyu would blame all the guilt on Shen Yishuo.
For this reason, the third prince took the blame for the prince.
Every time Shen Yishuo was punished, Shen Yiyu would send him a bunch of delicious food comfort, and responded to the words that slap him with a sweet date as big as sesame.
