After rebirth, I abducted the future minister

"What's wrong?"

Chu Yingying didn't hear what he said clearly. After walking a few steps, Cui Yunhao reached out and hugged her. She heard him let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Yingying, wait for me."

Chu Yingying put her arms around his waist, nodded slowly, and said in a firm voice: "It's okay."

She heard Cui Yunhao's voice, and he analyzed the recent situation in the court one by one, and then said calmly: "Even if the prince thinks of something now, it's already too late. There are too many reasons for the things he has done.

Yes, you just need to dig slowly, take out everything and spread it out, and put it in the open, he will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry, Yingying, just wait and see what happens to him."

Cui Yunhao's tone was cold and ruthless: "I will let him know what it means to be at the end of the road and have no way to survive."

The end of the year has arrived in a blink of an eye, and it has snowed heavily in the capital early. Since the beginning of winter, Emperor Yongtai's health has not been very good. The prince is still thinking about his past behind closed doors. In addition, he is worried about the enemy's request for tribute this year, and he is worried about the enemy's attack next year.

Raising troops to attack again, this year has been quite heavy. Even with the sound of firecrackers in my ears, the lively atmosphere is no longer as lively as before.

This depressed atmosphere lasted until after the New Year, and then gradually improved. The prince was finally lifted from the ban and was able to participate in court affairs again. However, he no longer had a share in the errands of the official department. He went to court every day and poked it there, like a wooden stake.

, everyone can see that Emperor Yongtai has not calmed down yet.

The prince did not dare to make a mistake, and he was much more honest. From the time he was involved last year, until now, even the courtiers in his palace did not dare to entertain banquets. He was very cautious and cautious, for fear of being criticized by Emperor Yongtai again.

Fortunately, he had kept a low profile for a while, no one was trying to get him in trouble, and there were no major issues at court. The prince gritted his teeth and went to Emperor Yongtai to plead guilty, saying that he had thought about it behind closed doors for so long and that he already knew how to repent.

After all, he was his own son. Emperor Yongtai couldn't help but relented, and his attitude changed a lot. Gradually, he would ask the prince some opinions during court discussions, and would ask him to go to Jinshen Hall to discuss matters after court.

Xu Jiajing was somewhat convinced of this student, but at the same time he was vaguely afraid. He said to Cui Yunhao: "Now the emperor seems to have a better attitude towards the prince. If he doesn't think of a way, I'm afraid he will wait until the prince comes back."

It’s a foregone conclusion.”

Originally, the ministers thought that the prince was making a fuss, but unexpectedly on the third day, civil unrest broke out in Hedong Province. Fortunately, the state army was there and suppressed it immediately. This matter was done in a timely manner and did not lead to a bigger incident.

Emperor Yongtai was very satisfied with the chaos and even rewarded the prince with many things.

For a time, all the officials in the court knew that Emperor Yongtai valued the prince, and even seemed to have the idea of ​​letting King Yong return to the vassal.

Cui Yunhao tapped the edge of the table lightly, looked deeply, and said: "Then wait a little longer."

At this time, King Yong was not in the capital, and the prince gained favor and was at the height of his power. In contrast, King Yong's party had a gloomy and gloomy atmosphere, as if their master would soon leave the country.

The prince refused to accept his words. Instead, he knelt down and said, "These are all the duties of a son and minister. How dare you take credit and receive rewards?"

"The Taiyuan Hospital went to the hospital all night last night and worked hard all night." Xu Jiajing frowned and said, "It is said that he coughed up blood."

Cui Yunhao said meaningfully: "Since he doesn't have it, then find an opportunity to let him have it."

"Teacher is impatient," Cui Yunhao smiled and said: "The emperor is still alive, how can we say the final outcome? We don't know who will win until the end, so we must not mess up the situation."

"You mean..." Xu Jiajing hesitated, and then said: "Last time, there was Prince Shen, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. How can we have such luck this time?"

The two had a fight and broke up unhappy. The next day, Cui Yunhao and Xu Jiajing went to Tingyu Teahouse again and began to discuss countermeasures, because Emperor Yongtai was ill again.

What Cui Yunhao said made sense, so Xu Jiajing asked: "In your opinion, what should we do?"

In the next few months, the prince did many things in succession, and each of them was very good. Emperor Yongtai gradually let go of many things and left them to the prince to handle, and even began to let the prince read memorials.

He held down the letter from Xu Jiajing's subordinate and said: "The student made some estimates before, and the prince's affairs will not be completed until at least after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now is the critical time, and his heart must not be divided."

Xu Jiajing sighed and said, "It will take another half a month."

Cui Yunhao had no expression on his face, he just said: "When will the prince come back?"

But Cui Yunhao felt that the time had not yet come. To hit the snake, you have to hit it seven inches, and you must hit it with one blow, leaving no room for the prince to stand up.

Cui Yunhao replied: "After having expectations, wouldn't it be even more irritating to be disappointed again?"

Xu Jiajing was not a stupid person. He immediately understood the meaning of Cui Yunhao's words and immediately began to think deeply. After a while, he said: "You are right."

Xu Jiajing couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid I don't have time to wait."

King Yong's faction stood still and watched helplessly as the relationship between the prince and Emperor Yongtai gradually improved. In April, there was a flood in Hedong Province, which submerged a large amount of fertile land. The prince was very concerned about this matter and mentioned it repeatedly during the court meeting.

He made many suggestions, asking the court to appease the people, immediately allocate food for disaster relief, and at the same time send state troops to guard against civil unrest.

After hearing this, Emperor Yongtai became even more happy. It seemed that the prince had indeed made some progress during the days of retreat and reflection last year.

But he was stopped by Cui Yunhao, who said: "It is useless to write to the prince now. The prince cannot rush back from the border now."

Xu Jiajing and Cui Yunhao had a small dispute. Xu Jiajing had some handle on the prince. He thought it was time to go out and suppress the prince's arrogance, lest Emperor Yongtai really threw King Yong to his territory.

.

The courtiers saw these changes clearly, and their minds suddenly became more active. Xu Jiajing saw it and was anxious in his heart. He immediately wrote a letter to send to King Yong who was at the border.

Cui Yunhao looked up at him, his eyes were clear, but he looked at him without hesitation and said: "Teacher, just don't worry, we have plenty of time."

There was a firm and convincing force in his voice, and Xu Jiajing compromised. He thought to himself, just half a month, the situation will not be worse than this.

Half a month passed by, and the prince was involved again. This time, he was involved in forming cliques for personal gain and befriending ministers privately. For this reason, the prince has been involved many times. The censor likes to hear about things.

They either studied this or that, as if if they didn't study one or two books a day, their time was in vain.

The prince is so favored now that he doesn't need to care about these officials at all. What he has to do now is to stay calm and do a few more good errands to impress Emperor Yongtai and squeeze King Yong back to the vassal territory as soon as possible.

After reading the memorials, he pushed them aside casually. Those piles were all not very important and could be dealt with in a few days.
