Chapter 294 Will King Ming be the second Li Zhi?

Ji Ren discussed the affairs of the court casually, looking forward to the wonderful scene after returning.

At the same time, King Wei and King Han, who were inexplicably scolded by Emperor Qi, returned to their palaces with dark faces. Their expressions were rare and ugly, and the counselors of the two palaces were secretly worried.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty summoned His Highness, but what was found?" Guo Lang looked at the ugly expression on King Wei's face and asked tentatively.

"It's okay. My father learned about the rumors from Duke Wen, but there was no evidence. I don't know who spread the rumors, so he simply called my second brother and me over to beat them up." King Wei shook his head slightly.

"Direct suppression without verification. It seems that His Highness and the King of Han are too popular these days, and His Majesty wants to suppress them. So he doesn't care about the truth. What he cares about is beating up His Highness and the King of Han." Cheng Lide said.

"Yes, it should be so. During this trip to Xiliang, my second brother got Ma Changfeng, and I got Zhang Liang and all the Xiliang cavalry under his command. My father is going to beat us. But it's not a big problem. After all, beating is just beating. , Zhang Liang and the others are still in their hands, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of excitement after they return. But this time, it's really ridiculous for the two of us to kneel together with the fifth brother." King Wei couldn't help but laugh at the end. Qi Qi said that he and Zhang Jingshou were called brothers, but in actual age they could be called father and son.

"After you return, what your Majesty will see is that the Crown Prince and the King of Wu are incompatible with each other, and even commit transgressions. He is so unhappy that even if the King of Wu is deposed, he will also greatly suppress the Crown Prince. But Your Highness, this time, you and the King are planning The King of Han was beaten by His Majesty, the Prince and the King of Wu were plotted by us, but King Ming was the only one who ran thousands of miles and showed his filial piety. He was the only one who would be appreciated by His Majesty in this matter. He had to be on guard." Guo Lang's eyes flashed. aisle.

"Are you saying that the fifth brother will also participate in the fight for the heir?" King Wei couldn't help but look at Guo Langdao with a strange look on his face.

"That's right. Although His Highness Prince Ming is a bit ridiculous, I can honestly say that His Highness was also very absurd when he was young. Prince Ming is young and has infinite possibilities. In the past, people did not take His Highness Prince Ming seriously, not only because His Highness had no ambitions, but also because His Highness Prince Ming had no ambitions. It’s because His Highness Prince Ming has no one to support him, and he has the will and power to do so. But things are different now. Your Highness, please don’t forget that in terms of friendship, the friendship between the King of Han and Uncle Qing Yong is not as good as one-tenth of the friendship between Prince Ming and Uncle Qing Yong.” Guo Lang said solemnly.

If one day, I can be on the 95th, I wonder if such a day will happen.

"But shouldn't love mean giving him the best things?" Pang Yuanfu asked doubtfully.

At the same time, the King of Han's staff asked him the same question, and he gave the same answer as King Wei.

You can't help it.

"And it's because of love that I can't bear to let my fifth brother take on important responsibilities. In the eyes of my father, my fifth brother will always be a child. He can just mess around. He doesn't want his fifth brother to sit in that seat. His fifth brother is like a head." The unruly eagle is free and easy. Let him sit in that seat, which will push the fifth brother into the abyss of eternal destruction. To be honest, Gu and the eldest brother both prefer the fifth brother and also envy the fifth brother, because sometimes the eldest brother and the eldest brother prefer the fifth brother. I also want to be like my fifth brother, but unfortunately, that seat is even more exciting.”

"Beware of the fifth brother, he is a child? There is no need to worry about it. My father will not give him the throne." King Wei shook his head gently.
"Your Highness, you must be on guard. In the past, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty established Crown Prince Li Chengqian and favored the King of Wei, Li Tai. Li Chengqian and Li Tai fought, and both ended up losing. On the contrary, the previously unknown King of Jin, Li Zhi, became the final winner." Guo Lang and Cheng Lide said in unison. .

"The Tian family has no relatives and is said to be lonely and widowed. Although the father has five sons in name, in fact he has four princes and one son. He will not let himself lose his last son. If the father abdicates one day, I'm afraid he won't become a monk, but will travel around the world with his concubine and his fifth brother, maybe with the prime minister." The King of Han spoke with a look of envy in his eyes.

"You compare Tang Gaozong to the fifth brother?" After hearing this, King Wei laughed even more. After he finished laughing, he showed a particularly serious expression on his face and said, "No, my father will not let the fifth brother." He became the prince because..."

"Yes, Qing Yongbo's meritorious service is already in the emperor's heart. With his talent, not to mention extraordinary achievements, but it is only a matter of time before he becomes the second Duke Wen. Moreover, the prime minister is close to him. If he supports Prince Ming If so, then His Highness Prince Ming will be His Highness's biggest enemy. His threat will even exceed that of the Crown Prince and the King of Han. After all, His Highness Prince Ming's two uncles are not ordinary people. They are the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Minister of Hubu, both of whom are at the forefront of the empire. ." Cheng Lide also reacted and followed suit.

……

"So, His Majesty doesn't want to give that seat, Prince Ming doesn't want it, and Uncle Qing Yong won't do anything that neither of them likes." Xu Yuanxin said.

It's just that as a member of the royal family, if you don't fight for the supreme throne, you will eventually be unwilling to do so.

Speaking of this, the King of Han's eyes flashed with memories. He recalled that in those days, there was a young man in bright clothes and an angry horse. He acted according to his likes and dislikes, grudges and grudges as he pleased. He was not as calculating as he is now.

"No, you don't understand my father. Although my father loves his fifth brother, he flaunts himself as a wise king. Succession of the throne is not a child's play. What matters is whether he can inherit the throne, hold the country firmly, balance the officials, and suppress the family. And It doesn’t matter if you love me or not, otherwise you won’t love your fifth brother, but you will harm him.” King Han said sternly.

"Because he was unwilling to let his beloved son sit in that position and become a loner, and he also lost his last son."

"Yes, unless something happens one day and the situation changes drastically, causing the fifth brother's character to change drastically, otherwise for now, if you ask the fifth brother to grab that seat, the fifth brother will give you a slap in the face." King Han said.

"So if we really have a plan, the only plan is to keep His Highness Prince Ming as young and innocent as he is today forever?" Chen Yuan said slightly.

This one is a little bit funny. "That's right. But we don't need to plan this. Two years ago, no one dared to bully the fifth brother who could only do mischief. Now that he and Boyi are inseparable, it would be good if they don't bully others. The only weakness is Concubine Xian, But if you want to touch the wise concubine, even if you are a prince, you must be prepared to be deposed. Dragons have reverse scales, and you will die if you touch them. The wise concubine is the reverse scale of the father." King Han said.

Everyone nodded, and King Wei also came to almost the same conclusion.

Befriend Zhang Jingshou and support him.

So in the next few days, Zhang Jingshou felt very strange, how could there be good people everywhere?

Everyone likes me so much and speaks nicely.

No, except for my father and the person in front of me.

"Get out." Ji Ren kicked him mercilessly.

"No, Lao Ji, just stay with me for a while. You said that I finally came to Xiliang and if I don't kill some enemies, then wouldn't I be stupid to come all the way here? Just let me take it with you. Beishan Guards go out and do a sweep." Zhang Jingshou took Ji Ren's arm and shook it.

"Get lost." Ji Ren refused without hesitation and lent his army to this boy. He didn't know what he would do after he came back.

"No, Lao Jiqian has been killing all over Xiliang these days, killing immortals and gods, but I was so exhausted in Chang'an. Why don't you let me have a good time and go out to find the enemy?" Zhang Jingshou said.

"Don't think about it, I agreed, and your Majesty will not agree." Ji Ren refused without hesitation and destroyed Dong Cao. However, there were still a small number of remnants of the Xiliang army under Dong Cao's command scattered in Liangzhou. There is no threat to the imperial court, and it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed. But if Zhang Jingshou is allowed to run over alone, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents. After all, there is no king in the scattered Xiliang army, but the Marquis of Earth is still there. There are one or two.

"That's why I came to find you." Zhang Jingshou said.

"So, shut up now." Ji Ren shook his head angrily, looking at Zhang Jingshou in front of him with a slight headache.

When he returns to Chang'an this time, regardless of whether King Wu is deposed or not, Zhang Jingshou has to go to Jiangnan to check on Sima's family.

Compared with the poor people's livelihood in Xiliang and the perennial rebellion, Jiangnan can be said to be the treasure land of Daqi, with abundant resources and prosperous culture. Most of the taxes paid by the imperial court come from Jiangnan.

But it’s not necessarily true that Jiangnan is much safer than Xiliang.

If Xiliang is a dangerous thorny jungle, then Jiangnan is like a calm lake. But no one knows how many undercurrents there are under the calm water.

Ji Ren is very worried about taking this guy.

By then, not only will this guy fall into the water, but he himself will also sink into the lake.

"Ah Shou, please practice with me." Ji Ren said suddenly.

"Ah?" Zhang Jingshou's eyes widened, how could he practice so easily.

"Your cultivation level is too low. You are only at the peak of Bright Moon. You are almost eighteen and it is not yet dawn. Don't call him my brother when you go out." Ji Ren mentioned Zhang Jingshou with a look of disgust.

"Hey, hey... I'm the prince, I'm the prince!" Zhang Jingshou shouted loudly, trying to resist, but it was of no use.

Not far away, Emperor Qi, who was practicing with a nine-section staff, suddenly opened his eyes, noticed this scene, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said: "Pass the decree to give the royal meal to Uncle Qing Yong."

It's like this, how many times a day is enough?
