The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

In He Lianfang's house, Zhao Yao was playing chess with the owner of the house.

Since meeting He Lianfang, Zhao Yao's chess skills have become more and more exquisite.Rather than saying that he is playing chess, it is better to say that he is fighting on the board.He perfectly applied the art of war given to him by He Lianfang to the chess game.

"Your father asked King Jing to serve as the minister, what do you think?" After He Lianfang finished speaking, she left a son.Now he can't play chess with Zhao Yao as easily as he did a few years ago.As Zhao Yao grew up, it became more and more difficult to beat him in the chess game.

While carefully observing the situation on the chess game, Zhao Yao replied perfunctorily: "To sow dissension." After speaking, he made a move.

He Lianfang frowned slightly when she saw Zhao Yao's son just dropped, and thought for a while before she dropped her son.

"Do you think it will work?"

"Yes." Zhao Yao picked up two chess pieces and rubbed them in his hands, "Actually, if the father doesn't do this, Seventh Brother and the others will also have conflicts with Zhen Guogong and the others. It's just a matter of time."

He Lianfang asked casually: "What do you think the Zhen Guo Guild will do?"

"With Duke Zhen's temperament, he will abandon the empress and seventh brother, and continue to support the prince's brother."

"Are you so sure that Lord Zhen will not change his mind and support King Jing?" He Lianfang said intentionally, "Compared to the prince, King Jing is Duke Zhen's nephew."

"Second uncle, the elder brother of the crown prince is also the nephew of Lord Zhen Guo."

"Empress Xie is the younger sister of Lord Zhen Guo and his mother, while the first empress is just the concubine sister of Lord Zhen Guo, so they are not on the same level." He Lianfang raised the corners of her lips and said with a half-smile, "Maybe Lord Zhen Guo Change your mind to support King Jing, and give up His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Second Uncle, Lord Zhen is not so stupid. Don't say anything else, just say how much effort Lord Zhen has put into the elder brother of the crown prince these years. It would be too much for him to give up halfway and support the seventh elder brother instead. It's not worth it." Zhao Yao bounced the chess piece with his thumb, and then reached out to catch the chess piece. "Besides, Brother Seven is not as good as Brother Prince."

He Lianfang raised the corner of her mouth and asked with a smile, "How do you say?"

"First of all: Although the seventh brother is closer to the Duke of Zhen in terms of blood than the prince's brother, when the prince's brother was born, the Great Zhou Dynasty had not yet been established, and the emperor's grandfather and father often went out to fight. I heard that the first queen often brought the prince My brother went back to Xie's house, and Xie's family also often visited the former queen and the elder brother of the prince."

Zhao Yao continued: "Brother Prince often went to Xie's house when he was a child. I heard that Duke Zhen personally taught Brother Prince to study. The relationship between Brother Prince and Duke Zhen is very good. This is the first time that Brother Seven is inferior to the Prince. Brother's place."

He Lianfang slightly raised her eyebrows and asked, "What about the second one?"

"Seventh brother is not as obedient as the prince's brother." Zhao Yao sighed softly when he said this, "Oh, the prince's brother listens to Zhen Guogong very much, and he will do whatever Zhen Guogong asks him to do. Zhen Guogong If you don't let him do anything, he won't do anything. However, Seventh Brother is not only self-righteous, but also conceited... No, to be precise, he is headstrong and conceited. He may not listen to Duke Zhen in everything. Maybe he will He thinks he is smarter and has means than Lord Zhen Guo."

He Lianfang hadn't paid much attention to His Highness King Jing, and didn't know what kind of person His Highness King Jing was.

"King Jing is a stubborn and conceited person?"

Zhao Yao nodded slightly and said, "Well, Seventh Brother is not only conceited, but also always looks aloof." In Seventh Brother's eyes, these brothers are all low-born people, and they are not the same kind of people as him. "Seventh Brother always thinks that he is the smartest among our brothers, but in fact he is the stupidest among our brothers. To be honest, he is not as good as Ninth Brother." Ninth Brother looks like an idiot. It looks so stupid.Among other things, at least Brother Nine is more self-aware than Brother Seven.

"How can a person with such high self-esteem like him obediently listen to Duke Zhen?" Zhao Yao added, "Brother Seven even wants to prove that he has more means than Duke Zhen. Unexpected thing. The seventh brother is more difficult to control than the prince's brother."

He Lianfang nodded slightly, and continued to ask, "What about the third one?"

"Third: Brother Seven is the son of the legitimate son, but he is not the eldest son." There is still a big difference between the son of the legitimate son and the eldest son of the legitimate son. "Fourth: Brother Seven has no reputation among the ministers and the people, nor does he have much reputation. Above, Brother Seven is not as good as Brother Prince. Brother Prince is somewhat talented. Some articles and poems he wrote are very popular and respected by literati and students. Brother Seven’s articles and poems are far behind Brother Prince gone."

He Lianfang signaled Zhao Yao to continue.

"Fifth: Seventh Brother is a very selfish person. He only thinks about himself, and doesn't think about others, even the Xie family." Zhao Yao threw the chess piece into the air, and then reached out to grab it. "For him, the Xie family is just a tool for the upper class, and the Xie family must put him first, respect him, and consider him in everything, but he will not do anything for the Xie family."

"Sixth: Brother Seven is not a benevolent person, nor is he a grateful person. After he takes office, he might repay Duke Zhen and even the entire Xie family."

Hearing this, He Lianfang showed surprise: "King Jing is such a person?" Among the princes, the most famous and prestigious people are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness Dai Wang and His Royal Highness King Chu. As for the other princes, there is nothing The sense of existence, the common people don't know much about them.

"Seventh brother is such a person. Although seventh brother has not done anything as harmful as third brother so far, but seventh brother..." At this point, Zhao Yao paused, and he thought for a while and said, "Seventh brother A man without empathy."

"empathy?"

"To put it simply, you can't put yourself in the shoes of others to understand other people." Zhao Yao said, "You can understand that Seventh Brother is a person who only respects me."

He Lianfang nodded understandingly: "What else?"

"For a person like Seventh Brother, not only won't he get any benefit by supporting him, but it will also harm himself." Zhao Yao frowned slightly and said, "If Seventh Brother really takes that position, then Da Zhou will reunite. Follow the mistakes of previous generations."

He Lianfang looked shocked: "So serious?"

"Well, it's that serious, because Seventh Brother only cares about himself and doesn't care about other people." Zhao Yao said, "He even looks down on us brothers, how could he care about the common people in the world. He won't care about the untouchables their lives."

"Zhen Guogong wants Xie's family to be prosperous forever, but he doesn't want to be a sinner in history, let alone destroy Xie's family, so he will never support Brother Seven." Because Seventh Brother is his nephew, the entire Xie family will support Seventh Brother.

"I didn't expect King Jing to be such a person." Because King Jing didn't have much reputation, He Lianfang really didn't pay attention to him. "It seems that the Xie family is going to fight among themselves."

"Infighting?" Zhao Yao let out a disdainful sneer as if hearing a huge and funny joke, "Second Uncle, do you think the Xie family can start fighting among themselves?"

"Do you think the Xie family can't fight among themselves?"

"Second Uncle, you underestimate Duke Zhen. Duke Zhen won't let Empress Empress and Seventh Brother tear Xie's family apart." Zhao Yao said with his left hand on his face, "Empress Empress and Seventh Brother combined are not the same. The opponent of Duke Zhen."

"So, your father's attempt to sow discord will fail?" He Lianfang was very happy to see the emperor suffer.

"It's not a failure. Although the Empress and Seventh Brother are not the opponents of Duke Zhen, they will definitely not give up honestly. They will definitely retaliate in the future." Zhao Yao tapped his face lightly with the fingers of his left hand, "Based on the narrow-minded nature of Empress Empress and Seventh Brother, as well as their insidious and vicious methods, they will seize the opportunity to bite the Duke of Zhen and Brother Prince severely in the future."

"You said that they are not as smart as Duke Zhen, what can they do?"

"Second Uncle, don't underestimate women, especially a woman like the empress, she will be very ruthless when she takes revenge." Zhao Yao thought of a sentence and said, "It's better to be broken than to be whole. The empress hates Duke Zheng If we don’t help their mother and son, maybe we will not only destroy Duke Zhen, but also destroy the entire Xie family.”

"According to what you said, in the future, the Duke of Zhen's Mansion will be destroyed by the queen."

"You can't say that, but the empress will definitely do the father a favor." Zhao Yao suddenly smiled maliciously, "With the bad temper of the father, the empress and the seventh brother will hate Zhen Guogong even more."

He Lianfang asked suddenly: "If you were Duke Zhen, what would you do?"

Zhao Yao was stunned when he asked this question, he thought about it seriously and said: "Actually, the best way is to destroy the Queen Mother and Seventh Brother, so that they can't be demons in the future. However, Duke Zhen shouldn't be able to deal with it." They beat them hard."

He Lianfang stared straight at Zhao Yao: "What about you, will you get rid of them absolutely?"

Zhao Yao shook his head honestly and said, "I won't get rid of them ruthlessly."

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, a glint of unknown meaning flashed across He Lianfang's eyes.

"But." Hearing Zhao Yao say but again, He Lianfang's eyes flashed with surprise again, he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yao, and listened to him continue, "I will make them no longer a threat to me."

This answer brought a faint smile to He Lianfang's eyes, and he asked, "What will you do, abolish the Queen and King Jing?"

"The Empress Dowager cannot be abolished, otherwise there will be a new empress, which is not a good thing for the Xie family." Zhao Yao thought from the perspective of Duke Zhen, "The empress must belong to the Xie family, and cannot be replaced by someone else. Make the Queen and King Jing obediently listen to me, and dare not resist me again."

He Lianfang asked curiously: "How do you make the Queen and King Jing obediently listen to you and dare not resist you anymore?"

"Second uncle, hit the snake and hit the seven inches, and just use the former queen's affairs to make the queen right." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "I will arrange my people to be beside the queen and King Jing. If there is any trouble with them , I will know as soon as possible. If so, the Queen and King Jing are still disobedient, then abolish them, and then I will support Concubine Ying to be the queen."

"It's a good idea." He Lianfang was quite satisfied with Zhao Yao's answer.

"Actually, it's not difficult to abolish the Empress Empress and Seventh Brother by Duke Zhen's means, but the Empress Empress is his own sister and the only younger sister, and he can't bear to destroy the Empress Empress." Zhao Yao said in a firm tone. He said calmly, "Just wait and see. In the future, when something happens in the Duke's residence, the empress and the seventh brother will help the father a lot."

There is another update, I will try to update it before twelve o'clock.
