Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 356

After the voice fell, Dugu Wudu and Duguji looked at each other, and the former said, "Can the Patriarch tell you what you think first?"

Dugu Sheng nodded and said: "When the old Patriarch passed away, he told me that there must be trouble between the Prince and the King of Qin. Now that the King of Qin died in the battle in Bingzhou, he might not be able to get rid of the relationship with the Prince. Besides, the old Patriarch also said, Doing things is better than doing wrong things, my idea is not to get involved."

"No meddling?" Dugu Wudu frowned, and taught: "You either support the prince or oppose the prince. As the head of the Dugu clan, you must show your attitude. You are so ambiguous that those Guanlong families who follow the Dugu clan how to think?
Furthermore, when a new monarch ascends the throne, the court will inevitably be in turmoil, leaving the old and welcoming the new.Your position as Minister of the Ministry of Officials was won by the old Patriarch. If you don't do anything at this time, won't it be a crushing defeat when the new king ascends the throne in the future? "

Dugu Sheng pursed his lips, and resisted the urge to argue with Dugu Wudu. He always knew that Dugu Wudu had a lot of opinions on his succession as Patriarch of the Dugu Clan, and even used the old patriarch to teach him a lesson from time to time.

"Then brother mean to support the prince?"

"No." Dugu Wudu shook his head and said, "Don't forget, when we supported the King of Qin, we offended Li Jiancheng a lot. Now that we support Li Jiancheng, we just stick our heads over and let Li Jiancheng decide whether to cut him off or not."

"If you don't support the crown prince, who is your brother going to support?" Dugu Sheng asked puzzled.

Dugu Wudu asked: "How is King Qi?"

King Qi?

You are not joking, can that kind of person support?

Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of Dugu Sheng and Dugu Ji, Dugu Wu knew what they were thinking, so he explained: "King Qi is indeed stupid, but he is the son of a son. Moreover, King Qi has always been extremely ruthless, if It is not impossible for him to take action against the crown prince and forcibly ascend the throne. After all, King Qi is stupid, if he is the emperor, we can play with him at will."

Good idea, but too many problems.Dugu Sheng thought to himself, and said: "Brother, now the military power is in the king of Chu, and the Shandong family supports the crown prince, how can the king of Qi ascend the throne."

"Didn't I say, do something to the prince. Just like the prince did to King Qin, is there anything wrong?" Dugu Wudu asked back.

Although no one has any evidence to prove that the prince murdered King Qin, everyone agrees that King Qin's death has something to do with the prince.

Dugu Ji said: "Brother, calm down, if there is a mutiny, whether it will happen or not is another matter."

Dugu Wu was not happy anymore, and directly said, "Then what do you think we should do."

Dugu Ji thought for a while and said, "Perhaps, we can make two-handed preparations."

"What do you mean?" Dugu Sheng asked.

Duguji said: "On the surface, we don't support anyone, but secretly, we can choose to support others. In this way, no matter who will ascend the throne in the future, the Dugu family will not be squeezed by the new dynasty."

"Who are the others?" Dugu Sheng asked again.

"King of Chu." Dugu Ji said: "Now King Chu is the General of Divine Strategy, mastering the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, obviously replacing King Qin."

Dugu Wudu sneered, "The King of Chu is a concubine, and it is impossible for him to ascend the throne. If you do this, you might as well support the prince publicly and King Qi secretly."

Duguji explained: "Although it is said that the King of Chu is a concubine, who can guarantee that the King of Chu will do what his elder brother said, and attack the Crown Prince and King Qi in the future? He has more soldiers and horses than the Crown Prince and King Qi. Much more."

Hearing this, both Dugu Sheng and Dugu Wu fell silent for an instant.

Mutiny to seize power, in their view, is actually not uncommon.

Dugu Sheng said: "Brother, what you mean is that we secretly support the King of Chu and remain neutral on the surface. In this way, we will neither offend the Crown Prince, nor make the King of Chu feel that we are people at both ends of the scale."

"Not bad!" Dugu Ji said with a smile.

Dugu Sheng thought for a while, and said, "This matter is feasible."

At this moment, Dugu Wudu said coldly: "Don't forget, you don't know what King Chu is thinking, what if he didn't think about it at all?"

Dugu Sheng smiled and said: "Duguying is an official in Shence Mansion, we can ask Duguying to inquire about it."

"But I heard that he has a low position in the Shence Mansion. Dugu Ying probably won't be able to find out about this kind of thing." Dugu Wu said disdainfully.

Dugu Ji stroked his beard and smiled, "Actually, you all seem to have forgotten one thing. My niece, Wei Shi, is now Li Zhiyun's woman."

"Wei Gui?" Dugu Sheng thought of this person instantly.

When Duguzhen was dying, he was asked to pay more attention to King Chu and King Qi, so he knew the news that King Chu had revealed.

"That's right." Duguji said: "Let Duguying inquire secretly, and I'll let Xiude use the name of the child's full moon to invite the king of Chu to come and try it out."

Dugu Sheng asked, "How to test?"

"It's very simple." Dugu Ji said with a smile: "You just have to see it when the time comes."

"You're not going to let Xiude enter the Shence Mansion, are you?" Dugu Wudu said.

Dugu Ji shook his head, "Of course not, if we do this, won't it cause the prince to doubt us."

Dugu Sheng thought about it: "That's fine, if we do both, we'll have even greater hopes. If so, I'll have to thank you, brother."

"It should." Dugu Ji nodded.

Dugu Wu was very uncomfortable when Dugu Sheng and Dugu Ji didn't accept his opinion, but he didn't refute it.

If they fail, then it will be their own chance.

The next day.

When Duguying was with her daughter, she received a message from Dugusheng and invited him to have a talk.Duguying didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly went to meet with Dugusheng.

"Homeowner."

"You're here, sit down." Dugu Sheng asked Duguying to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea.

Duguying asked: "Is the Patriarch looking for me for something?"

"En." Dugu Sheng nodded, and said: "You are my family, and I will not hide it from you. You know that the Dugu clan once supported the King of Qin and was tabooed by the prince. Now that the King of Qin is dead, the Dugu family has to find a way out. "

Dugu Ying was taken aback, and said cautiously: "I don't know what the Patriarch wants me to do?"

He really didn't understand, his status in Dugu's family was mediocre, it seemed that he could not intervene in such a big matter.

Dugu Sheng lowered his voice and said, "We want you to find out if the King of Chu has any ambitions to seize the throne."

Hearing this, Duguying wondered: "Patriarch, you also know that I am not valued by King Chu in Shence Mansion, how can I find out about this kind of thing."

He was really embarrassed in Shence Mansion, and what he did was uncomfortable.The king of Chu seemed to dislike him very much from the very beginning, and only asked him to do some chores.

After the establishment of Shence Mansion, his position has not changed much.

"Just do your best." Dugu Sheng encouraged.

Duguying bit her lips and said hesitantly: "Patriarch, from my point of view, King Chu's ambitions don't seem to be that big."

"That was in the past." Dugu Sheng said: "Now the King of Chu is the General of Divine Strategy. He has an overview of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses, just like the King of Qin. How can he be compared with the previous King of Chu?"

Dugu Ying sighed: "Okay, I will try my best."

Dugu Sheng nodded with a smile, and said, "Work hard, this may be your chance, don't give up."

"Yes." Duguying thought to himself, even if it is an opportunity this time, he must be able to grasp it.

Looking at the talents in Shence Mansion, he may not be the lowest in ability, but he is definitely the most embarrassing one.Sometimes, he could clearly feel that the King of Chu was treating him coldly and guarding against him.

Duguying didn't think she could find out about the important matter of seizing the heir apparent.
