Chapter 587 The storm is coming (5)
Seeing that there were only four days left before returning to Beijing, those young people who had not hunted good prey and showed their faces in front of Emperor Hui'an became a little anxious.
These people are not good at literature and have little martial arts skills. Fortunately, their starting point is naturally much higher than that of ordinary scholars. Even those who cannot join the noble family can still find an official position through their father's influence. However, they are all idle positions, and it is more difficult to get a promotion or find a real job.
Once you do this, you will be like this for the rest of your life. People who take this path will only do it if they are really just waiting to die, or if they can't wait for the opportunity. Anyone with a little bit of ambition and a little bit of ability wouldn't even bother to do it.
Among the dozen princes and princes, except for the ill-intentioned prince, everyone else wanted to earn face in front of Emperor Hui'an and win his approval.
After more than ten days, only King Heng managed to kill one elk and two roe deer, which barely earned a compliment from Emperor Hui'an. The others were either too young and not good at shooting, or they were unlucky and could not find good prey. Most of the people they hunted back every day were pheasants, hares and other small prey that could not wait for the table. The better ones just hunted an extra fox. .
Compared with the mediocre hunting results of the princes and princes, Xiao Ruiyuan and Yan Junyu, who each hunted seven or eight deer in just three days, and even hunted a tiger together, were much better, and were praised by Emperor Hui'an. More times than everyone combined.
Yan Junyu was nothing more. Although he was on good terms with the prince, he was an "uneducated and unskilled" dandy. He wore the title of young prince and had no real power in his hands. If you really think about it, he and the prince are not in the same faction. After all, there is Wu An Gong's grandfather who controls him. Wu An is a pure minister loyal to Emperor Hui'an and never forms any faction. The prince can't get any help from Yan Junyu. .
Because of this, although those princes and princes thought that Yan Junyu was an eyesore and were jealous that he was more favored by Emperor Hui'an than the real dragon son and grandson, they would hardly plot anything against him. When Duke Wu An, who was being protected, knew about it, he didn't care whether you were The prince was still a prince, and he dared to beat him up in front of Emperor Hui'an.
Not only would Emperor Hui'an not blame him, he would also say with a smile, "Uncle taught me a good lesson"!
Xiao Ruiyuan is different. He has numerous military exploits and high prestige in the military. He is a leader among the younger generation of generals. Now he is the first-rank general with real power in the court. He is not only in charge of 50% of the army and horse division, but also the chief inspector of the 100,000-strong Gyeonggi Army.
Although the Chief Inspector did not have the right to command the army, everyone sitting in this position was highly valued and trusted by the emperor. Xiao Ruiyuan is a princeling, and Emperor Hui'an trusts him so much. What does it mean?
Compared to Chu Heng who was very sick and didnt know if he would live to see the sun tomorrow, Xiao Ruiyuan was the real thorn in the eyes of the princes and princes. Because they know that once Chu Heng passes away, Xiao Ruiyuan will be a favorite in everyone's eyes. However, this "sweet cake" is too hard and not easy to eat. Maybe his teeth will be broken as soon as he takes a bite. .
Those princes and princes were unable to take down Xiao Ruiyuan, and they were afraid that the enemy would win over him and pose a threat to themselves. They tacitly tried their best to pull Xiao Ruiyuan down and destroy him completely. No one would get it!
And this autumn hunting and this heavy rain created an excellent opportunity for them.
Under the seemingly peaceful hunting ground, a well-calculated conspiracy lurks. At the luncheon, when the 16th prince, who was only eight years old, asked Emperor Hui'an for permission to follow Xiao Ruiyuan into the mountains for hunting, Xiao Ruiyuan's eyes instantly turned cold.
