Chapter 71 Chess Pieces

  Chu Yi was dressed in white clothes like snow on weekdays, but today he rarely wore bright red clothes, which made his skin paler and more beautiful.

   Obviously it is a bright red as graceful as a peony, but he wears out the temperament of a clear moon, clear air, and indifference to the world.

   He was playing with a dagger between his slender fingers. His movements were dashing and agile, which added a bit of dashing and uninhibited aura to him, and there was an unfathomable aura around him.

   In the Dongnuan Pavilion, where the kang was burning, it was as warm as spring, but Fang Huairui's broad and high forehead was dripping with cold sweat, densely packed, and his burly body was tensed.

   He has experienced the tempering of the battlefield and the turmoil of the court, and he can be regarded as an independent figure, but when facing the eldest prince, he was so suppressed that he couldn't hold his head up.

  Fang Huairui did not dare to move and maintained a posture of clasping his fists, time seemed to be slowed down.

   "Bang!"

  The dagger was unsheathed an inch, the silver blade shone with cold light, the subtle sound resounded in Fang Huairui's ear like a lightning strike, and the sweat droplets on his neck became more and more dense.

  Chu Yi said lightly: "Very good."

   His voice was as clear as a guqin, neither hurried nor slow, neither light nor heavy, and the meaning was unknown.

The words    let the stagnant air suddenly loosen, and the invisible majesty in the air also dissipated a little.

   Fang Huairui was relieved, feeling that he was forced into the water just now that cup of tea, and it was only now that he was picked up, like a new born.

  He raised his hand rudely and wiped off the cold sweat, feeling complicated.

The eldest prince, Chu Yi, has been away from the Dajing Dynasty for eight years. He is not well known to the court and most people do not think highly of him. After all, Chu Yi has been a hostage in the enemy country for eight years. How can you teach him well!

   Therefore, the nobles of the royal family in the court are all holding a wait-and-see attitude towards the eldest prince, including their Fang family.

   In addition, after Chu Yi returned to Beijing, in the face of King Kang's step-by-step pressing and making things difficult, he kept silent and let it go. In the eyes of outsiders, he was quite helpless and powerless. At that time, Fang Huairui didn't take Chu Yi to heart.

   He never imagined that Chu Yi would have such a shrewd heart at such a young age. If he didn't make a move, he would be a thunderbolt and unstoppable.

   During these days, Fang Huairui had already deeply appreciated the power of this eldest prince, and he would never dare to show the slightest neglect or neglect.

   "Your Highness is satisfied." Fang Huairui laughed like a bell, a bold smile appeared on his bearded face.

   Thinking back on the ins and outs of the whole thing, he still feels a bit of a thrilling sigh.

The marriage between the Fang and Gu families was decided more than ten years ago, but a few months ago, the Gu family suddenly proposed a temporary replacement, and they couldn't explain the reason. It was the Gu family's housework, Fang Huairui dismissed it, and didn't bother to investigate.

  Since the Gu family had no sincerity in this marriage, Fang Huairui thought that the marriage would not end, but Mrs. Yu insisted, so he would not care.

   Until four days ago, the eldest prince Chu Yi announced his interview and asked him to submit a document to impeach King Kang for stealing his wife.

Their British government is in a stable position, and there is no need to stand in line or fight for the power of the dragon, so Fang Huairui did not want to be involved in the infighting between the two sides of the royal family, and planned to pretend to refuse, but Chu Yi showed him a This ledger was so frightening that he almost lost his mind.

  It was only then that his wife helped her family to secretly occupy several iron mines in Yuzhou under the name of the British government, and quarried ore privately. The local government turned a blind eye and dared not care.

Although the beneficiary in this matter was the Yu family, the Yu family used the name of their Fang family to the outside world, and the two were in-laws. "Severe" crime...

  According to the law, iron ore is state-owned, and private mining is not allowed.

   The crime of privately occupying iron ore is not light, and it can give the emperor enough excuses to seize the dukeship of the Fang family, which is hereditary and irreplaceable, and convert the duke into a marquis or even an uncle.

   The Fang family's status today was earned by the ancestors of the Fang family at the cost of life and flesh and blood, and it must not be defeated by him!

After    Fang Huairui weighed the pros and cons, he had no other choice but to respond.

   Therefore, he wrote to impeach King Kang for taking his wife for three consecutive days with great fanfare.

   Afterwards, at the behest of Chu Yi, he asked his wife to go to the Dingyuan Marquis's residence for a small ceremony, and there was a riotous scene, so much so that the entire capital was disturbed.

   Actually, Chu Yi never explained his intentions. He would only tell Fang Huairui what to do when, but Fang Huairui had eyes and brains, and could see and think.

   In the past few days, Fang Huairui panicked from the beginning, and then gradually calmed down, intending to find a new turning point in the crisis. He has been quietly observing the young eldest prince.

It has to be said that Chu Yi's strategizing, his grasp of the timing, his understanding of people's hearts, and his understanding of the overall situation made Fang Huairui look at it differently. At such a young age, his mind was so delicate and meticulous. Take things step by step to get the situation he wants.

   Everyone is just a **** in his hand.

   pounding!

  Fang Huairui's heart beat abruptly twice, his eyes were bright, and he was quite excited.

   With Chu Yi's scheming and means, he is obviously a wise master worthy of allegiance.

  Kang Kang is powerful, Chu Yi needs the help of Xungui, and the Fang family is also useful to Chu Yi. Cooperation with each other is beneficial to both parties.

   In fact, if the Fang family can help Chu Yi achieve success, it will also be able to take it to a higher level!

   At this moment, Chu Yi pulled out the dagger completely, and carefully looked at the thin and sharp blade without looking at Fang Huairui, and said, "Fang Huairui, sit down."

   Fang Huairui was finally relieved after hearing this, and the smile on his face deepened by three points.

He didn't sit down in a hurry, he cupped his hands carelessly, and bargained with Chu Yi with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, for the sake of this errand for Your Highness, can you spare your guilt? Rest assured, Your Highness, In the future, this minister will definitely take good care of the wife of the Yu family!"

  Fang Huairui smiled warmly, as if he and Chu Yi had known each other for many years. Between the words, it was as if he was not coerced by Chu Yi this time, but got an errand.

   He said this with sincerity and sincerity. After this lesson, he will not only restrain the Yu family well, but also will not let the Yu family go easily.

  Chu Yi smiled lowly, and danced a sword flower casually. The simple movements were as smooth and neat as running clouds and water.

  The silver sword light reflected in Fang Huairui's eyes, making him a little dazzling for a while, his heart tightened, and he was uncertain.

   He always felt that something was wrong, recalling what he had just said, but he couldn't think of what was wrong.

  Chu Yi simply put the sword back into the sheath, then put it to the side, making a "slap" sound, and asked, "Fang Huairui, did you know that there is another person hiding in the Yu family?"

   His tone was very calm, as if gossiping with Fang Huairui was commonplace.

  "..." Fang Huairui looked at Chu Yi in astonishment, confused.

  Chu Yi said slowly: "In the second month of the first year of the Tianli calendar, an aunt from the Yu family returned home with her newborn son."

   "The previous year, when Empress Yu and Emperor Hongwu died in the sea of ​​fire, they were said to be pregnant in August.

   When Chu Yi said these two words, it was as if he was talking about a trivial matter, and it seemed like there was a needle hidden in the cotton.
