Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

The crown prince and the third prince were both stupefied in the face of this sudden change. The prince was fine, after all, he was the orthodox number one heir, and one more fifth prince would not shake his position.

The third prince was different. Before, he had to deal with only the prince. If the fifth prince also appeared, the pressure of competition would be even greater.

What made the third prince even more alert was that Emperor Wen pushed the fifth prince out, which showed that he was already afraid of himself.

For the prince, being suspected by the emperor is undoubtedly fatal. Originally, the third prince planned to trip the fifth prince, but after thinking clearly about the stakes, he had no choice but to put his flag down.

Even so, the fifth prince, who has always had no sense of presence in the court, received this task, and he also had a sense of déjà vu that the dog bit the hedgehog and couldn't say anything.

When the fifth prince was troubled, he suddenly heard a report that the eldest son of the second room of the Lou family asked to see him.

"Lou Ben? What is he doing here?" The fifth prince remembered that the Lou family was the Prince's loyal supporter.

Soon Lou Ben was brought to the front hall.

"Meet the Fifth Prince." Lou Ben saluted respectfully after entering the door.

This made the fifth prince have a good impression of him. As a prince who has no sense of existence, it is common for him to be despised. Even he himself is used to it. Occasionally being respected by others feels completely different.

"Mr. Lou, no courtesy, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After taking his seat, the Fifth Prince asked, "Mr. Lou, what advice does His Royal Highness have for you?"

A trace of anger flashed in Lou Ben's eyes. Due to Mrs. Lou's suppression, outsiders only knew about the eldest son of the Lou family, and his personal will seemed to represent the position of the entire Lou family.

"Your Highness, Lou Ben's presence this time is not the first room of the Lou family, but the second room of the Lou family." Lou Ben got up again and saluted.

A gleam of joy flashed in the eyes of the fifth prince, and then it disappeared again: "So, Mr. Lou may be disappointed. I am stupid, but I am just an idle prince, and I am not interested in government affairs."

Years of forbearance has made the fifth prince habitually hide himself. He is very clear that once he shows his desire to seize the heir, he will inevitably be double suppressed by the prince and the third prince.

Lou Ben said with a serious face: "It's all from His Majesty, why should His Highness belittle himself, since His Majesty has entrusted His Highness with such important matters as coinage reform, how do you know His Majesty has no intention of supporting His Highness?"

The fifth prince said in an impatient tone: "If Mr. Lou came here this time just to say these things, please come back."

Lou Ben didn't try to persuade him anymore, but took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and held it in front of the fifth prince with both hands.

The Fifth Prince hesitated for a moment, but took it anyway.

It took a long time for the fifth prince to close the bamboo slips, and asked suspiciously: "Mr. is so talented, why don't you dedicate this strategy to Your Majesty?"

Lou Ben answered in a [-]:[-] way: "Teacher Lou is a villainous uncle, and he has been suppressing the second wife all the time. There has been an unwritten rule in the court that members of the same family cannot serve as important ministers together in the court. The young master is so amazing and beautiful, isn’t it just to become a doctor at Taiyuan Academy?”

The fifth prince nodded secretly, not because he believed Lou Ben's one-sided words, but because he knew the weight of the bamboo slips in his hand. If Lou Ben really belonged to the prince or the third prince, he would never give him such a copy. generous gift.

"Sir, would you like to help me?" The fifth prince helped Lou Ben up.

Lou Ben bowed and said, "I'm determined to do what I want, I dare not ask for it."

"Haha." While the Fifth Prince was laughing, there was a flash of throbbing in his eyes. The throne, which seemed extremely far away from him, seemed to be getting closer.

Lou Ben saw the actions of the fifth prince. Human ambition is like a weed. Once it is given a little room to live, it will grow wantonly and out of control.

Next, Lou Ben chatted with the Fifth Prince until the evening before he was driven back to Lou Mansion by the Fifth Prince in his own car, during which they talked about the details of coinage reform.

During this process, the fifth prince gained a deeper understanding of Lou Ben's abilities, and secretly rejoiced that Tianxiang was so powerful that he could use it. Lou Ben also discovered that the absurdity of the fifth prince before was all just pretending, thinking to himself No wonder Qin Hao chose the fifth prince.

At the same time, both of them were suppressed because of their birth, and there was a sense of sympathy and sympathy in the discussion.

But right at the gate of the Lou Mansion, Grand Tutor Lou warned Lou Ben again, telling him not to take part in the prince's seizure of the heir apparent, so as not to bring disaster to the Lou family.

Lou Ben clenched his fists unconsciously, and made up his mind that he must assist the Fifth Prince to become the throne, and then let the eldest son of the Lou family taste what it feels like to be trampled on the soles of his feet!
Many people in the court were waiting to see the fifth prince's jokes. After all, the fifth prince's reputation was not very good. If such a dandy were to carry out such a major reform, if trouble broke out, it would be a big trouble.

However, to everyone's surprise, the fifth prince quickly came up with a "feasible plan", and the content, of course, all came from Qin Hao's bamboo slip.

Generally speaking, there are actually two measures. One is to increase the proportion of copper in five baht coins, so that those bad coins have nowhere to hide. "Founding sand casting method".

The so-called "clay model method" is also the current mainstream coinage method, which is to first make a template on a clay pottery, then pour it in, and finally break the clay model to take out the copper coins inside.

The main problem with this coinage method is that the efficiency is too slow, and it takes a long time to make one, which also leads to high coinage costs.

The "sand foundry method" is to make the "mother money" first, and then pour the molten metal into a sand box made of sand. The sand box is a template printed by the "mother money". , you can get sub money.

The advantage of the "sand foundry method" is that it does not need to fire clay pottery, and at the same time, the "sand box" can be used repeatedly, which greatly improves the efficiency of minting coins and saves costs.

After reading the memorial of the fifth prince, Emperor Wen felt very surprised, and asked someone to try the actual effect of this method, and found that it was much easier than the current casting method.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to surprise me." Emperor Wen praised the fifth prince in a rare way.

The fifth prince still had a harmless smile on his face: "Actually, this idea was not thought up by my son, but by Lou Ben, the second eldest son of the Lou family."

Emperor Wen was even more satisfied with his humility: "Well, this Lou Ben seems to be a talent, but it's a pity, you have to make good use of him for me, don't let the talent be buried."

"promise."

With the escort of Emperor Wen, the fifth prince's coinage reform went very smoothly. With this incident, the fifth prince also gained a sense of presence in the court.

Of course, due to his background, not many people came to serve him, and the fifth prince didn't care about it. He knew very well that now was not the time to stand out.

During this time, Qin Hao was preparing for his son's first birthday party. The little guy was finally going to be one year old, and he was able to call his father and mother. Of course, he became more mischievous.

Although walking is still very strenuous, but he can already crawl everywhere. Since he unlocked this skill, the little guy can't sit still. Have a servant wipe the floor spotless.

As the grandson of Qin's family, this year's birthday banquet was also very grand. Not only relatives from all the families of the Qin family came, but also some aristocratic families sent congratulatory gifts.

Ling Buyi also sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, and Cheng Shaoshang sent someone to throw it in the utility room later, but she still remembered what happened that day.

The prince brought the princess concubine to congratulate him personally, which set off the climax of the first-year banquet. From the outsiders' point of view, the Qin family was full of flowers, but the atmosphere soon became weird due to the arrival of the third prince.

The third prince seemed to be okay, and said words of congratulations.

Qin Hao didn't even have the slightest smile on his face, he just said perfunctorily: "The third prince is welcome, there are too many guests today, and the greeting is not good enough."

The guards next to the third prince were about to scold him, but Qin Hao stared at him coldly, then turned to greet other guests with disdain.

"Third prince, how dare this person be so rude."

The third prince glanced at him, looked at Qin Hao's back and sneered: "We'll see!"

Halfway through the banquet, when the crown prince and the third prince were about to leave, Qin Hao suddenly said, "His Royal Highness, can I take a step to speak?"

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at the third prince.

The third prince clenched his hands tightly and stared deeply at Qin Hao for a long time before leaving.

Although the prince was a little puzzled, he still followed Qin Hao to the backyard.

Qin Hao cut to the chase and said, "His Royal Highness, you must be on guard against others, especially those you trust so much."

"What do you mean by Zihan's words?" The prince was a little dazed by the endless words.

Qin Hao just cupped his hands at him and left.

After the prince returned to the East Palace, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Before, he always felt that Qin Hao was closer to the third prince, but recently Qin Hao seemed to be far away from the third prince. Especially today, he actually let the third prince Can't get off stage.

"Could it be that the Qin family is going to fall to me?" The prince secretly rejoiced.

"Is it the Lou family? Or who?" The prince began to think about who among the people around him was most likely to betray, but he didn't think about Ling Buyi. After all, he had the "life-saving grace" for Ling Buyi back then.

However, the prince didn't know that he had just misunderstood Ling Buyi's "life-saving grace". At first, Ling Buyi had just learned how to enter the water and was practicing holding his breath. The prince mistakenly thought that Ling Buyi was drowning and dragged him up. The prince has a real life-saving grace to Ling Buyi.

A few days later, Mrs. Lou came to see the prince, but found that the prince looked at him strangely, which made him take care of his appearance several times, but he didn't find anything wrong.

The crown prince didn't tell Taifu Lou what Qin Hao said, but just fooled him casually. Although he has a gentle personality and soft ears, he is not a fool.

The prince was suspicious, but he didn't suspect the key point, but the third prince had already started to act.

The prince actually has a confidante named Qu Lingjun, who only married the princess because he wanted to abide by the marriage contract with the princess.

But Qu Lingjun was married to the Liang family, which was Yuan Shen's mother's natal family.

The concubine always sent someone to give the Liang family some of the prince's things, which made Qu Lingjun's husband suspect that he was wearing a cuckold, and often raped Qu Lingjun.

Suddenly one day, Liang's family reported the crime, saying that Mr. Qu Ling had murdered his husband. Yuan Shen was working in Tingwei's Mansion at this time, and it happened to be his turn to take charge of the case, so they brought people to bring Mr. Qu Ling back to Tingwei's Mansion for interrogation. .

However, Liang's mother refused to let him go, and kept saying that Mr. Qu Ling would pay for his life.Liang Wuji, the adopted son of the Liang family, advocated peace and tranquility. After all, it was about the crown prince. He was afraid that the whole family would be angered. Yuan Shen wanted Mr. Qu Ling to tell the truth, but Mr. Qu Ling admitted that he was the murderer and was willing to pay for her husband's life.

In order to clear Mr. Qu Ling of the suspicion, the prince knelt down and begged Emperor Wen to send someone to find out the truth. Emperor Wen was furious and scolded the prince as a heir, and his conduct should be a model for the world, but he almost ruined his reputation because of his children's affair. , and even the royal reputation was humiliated.

The third prince on the side lowered his head, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was already irresistible. Regardless of whether the case of Liang Shang's murder could be verified or not, the prince's image in Emperor Wen's heart of being impulsive and disregarding the overall situation has been confirmed.

In the end, this case was investigated by Ling Buyi. It was not Qu Lengjun who did it, but Liang Shang's younger brother Liang Xia. The purpose was to compete for the position of Patriarch. In the end, Liang Xia was also silenced by Liang Wuji. Knowing this is the third prince's effort behind the scenes.

After this incident, the attitude of the ministers of the DPRK and China also changed. They no longer sided with the prince one-sidedly, and the supporters of the third prince gradually increased.

And the fifth prince also benefited, although those who came to join him were from some small families or those who had no ambitions like Lou Ben, the children of aristocratic families, but they finally had a certain amount of capital.

On the other side, Ling Buyi also learned from Peng Kun the story of the massacre of the Huo family, but Peng Kun was killed before he had time to make a pledge, and he pretended to be an old asthma attack. Suspected to have lost its final certification.

Ling Buyi knew very well that without evidence, Ling Yi could not be punished as he deserved. He came to Xinghua Bieyuan in a daze, only to find that his mother Huo Junhua was dying of illness.

Before dying, Huo Junhua repeatedly told Ling Buyi not to forget revenge.It wasn't until he heard Ling Buyi's promise that Huo Junhua collapsed on the bed and passed away.

Under the double blow, Ling Buyi decided to use his own method to avenge the whole Huo family.

At night, Ling Buyi took the seal of the East Palace and mobilized troops to surround Chengyanghou's mansion, and then bloodbathed Chengyanghou's mansion. Before Ling Yi died, Ling Buyi told him a secret.

"Actually, my name is not Ling Buyi, but Huo, Wu, and Shang!"

Back then, the Huo family and the Ling family gave birth to two boys at the same time. They were about the same age and had similar genes, so they looked alike. On the day when the Huo family was wiped out, Huo Wushang soiled his clothes because of his naughtiness and was afraid of being punished. Ling Buyi suggested that the two exchange clothes.

It means that it was his own son that Ling Yi killed in the first place, and Ling Yi's heart was pierced with endless regret.

Ling Buji was also taken back to the palace by Emperor Wen for recuperation because of his serious injuries, and told Emperor Wen of his true identity. When Emperor Wen learned that he was of pure Huo family blood, the original anger in his heart dissipated instantly.

However, the case of the Marquis of Chengyang's extermination caused an uproar in the court, and the impeachment memorials flew to Emperor Wen's desk like snowflakes, but Emperor Wen never made a statement, let alone questioned Ling Busu.

That night, Qin Fang called Qin Hao to the study to discuss countermeasures.

"The matter of the Marquis of Chengyang doesn't seem to be that simple. Why do I think it's for the prince?" Qin Fang's face was full of worry.

Qin Hao couldn't help secretly praising that Jiang is still old and hot. Even if he doesn't know the inside story, he can still have such a keen sense of politics.

"Father, this must be a conspiracy between Ling Buyi and the third prince. Our Qin family will just wait and see what happens."

That being said, Qin Hao will naturally not allow the third prince's plot to succeed.

A few days later, Qin Hao used Lou Ben to secretly meet the fifth prince.

"I never thought that it was you behind Lou Ben!" The Fifth Prince saw Qin Hao, after the initial surprise, he was even more excited.

Qin Hao represents not only the Qin family, but also the Yuan family, Cheng family, and Wan family. Whether it is the court or the army, they all have considerable influence. If these resources can be used by him, it seems out of reach The throne is within reach.

Qin Hao said with a serious face: "Your Highness, if you are not careful on the road to seizing the heir, you will be lost forever. Are you really ready?"

The fifth prince bowed to Qin Hao and said, "Please Zihan give me a helping hand!"

Qin Hao nodded, helped him up, and then gave Lou Ben a wink, and Lou Ben led a person out from the secret room.

"Liang Wuji?" The fifth prince looked at the person in shock and blurted out.

Liang Wuji bowed to the Fifth Prince and said, "My Highness."

The fifth prince turned to look at Qin Hao: "I didn't expect Liang Wuji to be yours?"

Qin Hao shook his head lightly: "The Liang family and the Yuan family are in-laws, and the Qin family and the Yuan family share weal and woe. We are all just working together for the continuation of the family."

"So, the third prince was behind the slander?" The fifth prince asked Liang Wuji.

Liang Wuji nodded: "It was the third prince's handwriting, and it was also the third prince's instruction to kill Liang Xia."

"Tomorrow I will confess this matter in the court hall, and ask the fifth prince to ascend the throne in the future, don't forget this meager effort."

The third prince wants to overthrow the prince, but he doesn't know that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.

Once Emperor Wen learned that all of this was done by the third prince, he would definitely feel jealous of such a scheming son.

The fifth prince hastily held Liang Wuji's hand: "Mr. Liang, don't worry, what you pay today will be repaid ten times and a hundred times in the future."

In the early morning of the next day, Liang Wuji took the lead in accusing the third prince of buying a murderer, and he was the murderer. As soon as the cause and effect came out, the whole court was shocked, and the third prince was even more frightened. I was caught off guard.

This is not over yet, several officials accused the third prince and Ling Buyi of colluding with each other, forging the prince's edict, and shaking the country's foundation.

As soon as this remark came out, the prince and his party stood up one after another to accuse the third prince of his wolfish ambitions and would do anything for the prince's position.

The third prince couldn't argue for a while.

Emperor Wen announced his resignation with an ugly face. After the next court, the third prince knelt in front of Emperor Wen's palace to beg to see him. However, Emperor Wen didn't see the third prince for a whole day.

The battle for the throne, which was originally clear, suddenly became confusing again.
