fake prince

Chapter 586 Gifts
Presumably, the father also thought the same way, let Su Ziji come in, the three parties check and balance, and the three wrestle with each other, so that the court can be stabilized, and at the same time, let himself and the king of Qi be "busy", so as not to put extra thoughts on the palace.

Father's heart is really the same as before.

Especially when I think of my father, who is an emperor, has always been ruthless, and can give the best of everything. Even the eldest son who was once loved, the prince of the year, can be wiped out directly when he violates his rights. It's just a chess piece, but it's expensive and it's not time to throw it away.

As long as I don't violate my father's bottom line, with my father's usual style, naturally I won't do anything to myself.

When the King of Shu thought of this, he laughed at himself: "How much I envied the prince back then, since the moment the prince was killed, he understood how much we sons have no right in the eyes of the father."

The relationship between father and son is as thin as paper in the imperial city, and even more fragile.

But he didn't say these words, but when he sighed like this, he subconsciously squeezed the chair tightly.

The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, but that's it.

"The prince is dead, so our prince is at peace? No, the death of the prince is actually a wake-up call for us."

"Even if he became the crown prince, occupying the title of heir, and being orthodox, when the emperor really wanted to get rid of him, there was no resistance at all."

"Only by cultivating power, fighting for the supreme power in the world, and fighting for great treasures, can we be truly safe and secure."

"Father, this is what you taught me and elder brother with the facts of blood, so now that you are old and afraid, you can't blame us."

He lowered his eyes to cover up the ambition and resentment in them, and when he raised them again, he was the open-minded and gentle King of Shu again.

"Okay, your idea is good, but what I said was a bit serious." Waving the staff to sit down again, the king of Shu looked at the staff present again.

After a while, an aide cautiously spoke again: "Your Highness, but now that His Majesty has let Su Ziji join the game, it has become a triangular situation. Your Highness is already in danger, so we must guard against it."

"Then what do you say?"

The king of Shu squinted his eyes. He had already seen his father's thoughts, and he had an idea himself, but he still looked at the aide and asked.

"I suggest that His Majesty's introduction of Su Ziji is unstoppable."

"With King Qi as the vanguard, we don't have to fight in person. This time, we can only express our respect by following His Majesty's wishes."

When he said this, the staff member was also anxious and a little annoyed.

If it wasn't for some lurking guy who took action against Su Ziji, how could things have become so passive?

The king of Shu didn't say anything. This proposal actually coincided with his own thoughts.

He is very different from King Qi in character. King Qi has a violent temper and is easily impulsive when encountering things, while King Shu is probably because he was often bullied by King Qi when he was a child, and his mother and concubine were not favored. It is easier to analyze the power and find a plan that is most beneficial to you to implement.

At the beginning, he and the king of Qi, one was evaluated by the emperor as too brave and impulsive, and the other was evaluated as easy to be indecisive when things happened.

But I have to say that the two's respective personalities have also helped them and helped them at critical times, and the situation is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. Even if they want to change, it is not easy.

Just like at this time, even though King Shu was dissatisfied in his heart, he would never be furious like King Qi on the spot, and his staff naturally dared to analyze this kind of matter with him and make suggestions.

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

"This is indeed a way. Although it can't break the situation, it can make the prince avoid the sharp edge and take it slowly."

Other staff also spoke, and most of them agreed with this staff's proposal.

The king of Shu thought of some rumors about Su Ziji, and his heart moved: "Not only do I want to give him a gift, but I also want to meet this good nephew in person."

However, some aides reminded: "Your Highness needs to be more careful when giving gifts at this time. If you give a heavy gift, it will easily arouse His Majesty's suspicion. If you give it lightly, it will be more like humiliation."

"You are an adult prince who has been crowned king, and there is no precedent in this dynasty to honor this emperor's grandson who has not yet had a title. I wonder what kind of gift you plan to use?"

In fact, it's easy to say that it's an official, the prince's honor, and giving gifts to officials.

If you already have a title officially, then you can just give it away according to the practice of different titles.

Even now, only the king of Shu sent a gift with great fanfare, even if there were officials who gave it, it seemed a bit conspicuous.

Will it make the person on the dragon chair feel suspicious?
The King of Shu thought for a while and said, "I heard that he likes books. I have a set of records written by the former prime ministers, so I will give them to him."

send books?All the staff present clicked, this is safe.

It only needs to send someone to send a wooden box over there. Moreover, the news of sending books has reached the ears of the emperor. It is also an elegant thing for an uncle to send a set of books to his nephew, and it has nothing to do with other things.

"The ministers feel that it is very appropriate to send the book, the prince is wise!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

Wanglufang·Sufu

Since he just moved in, although the Duke's Mansion of the former Dynasty has been renovated and cleaned enough to allow people to live in formally, and the housekeepers and servants are all available in the mansion, the plaque on the door of this mansion is empty.

Su Ziji knew very well that the granting of the house was just a prelude, and he was afraid that he would be knighted later, and the plaque would have to be replaced when it was put up, so he decided not to let it go.

And no matter whether you live in Wanglufang or have the qualifications to come to Wanglufangsu Mansion, who doesn't know that there is an emperor's grandson living in the former Duke's Mansion that has been vacant?
And where do you care about such minutiae?

When staying in Suziji, from the early morning of the next day, some officials and servants brought gifts one after another, and the continuous stream of people who came to give gifts made the courtyard, which had been empty for many years, suddenly become lively.

"This is the steward of Mr. He's mansion from the Ministry of Officials. He sent a gift at the order of Mr. He."

Seeing that two more ox carts arrived one after the other, their own servants led them to register, and this time they came from the mansion of Mr. He, the Ministry of Officials.

Zhao Zhu, the current housekeeper of the Su Mansion, heard about it, so he went over to exchange greetings with the housekeeper who gave the gift, and the person who came presented the gift list with the gift, and said goodbye very tactfully.

There could be more than one or two people who came to give presents, and each of them needed Zhao Zhu to greet them. Even with his experience, this scene was enough for him to be busy.

Especially among the people who came to give gifts, there are still some meritorious deeds, who have a deeper background than civil servants. Let alone offending anyone, it is easy to cause future troubles. The more the housekeeper reads the gift list, the more frightened he is He ran to the main courtyard to ask Su Ziji for instructions.

At this time, Su Ziji, dressed in a moon-white cotton robe and a large cloak, was looking at the frost and snow on the branches and thinking, when he heard footsteps, he turned his head.

"What happened?" Su Ziji asked when he saw the housekeeper Zhao Zhu walking quickly with sweat on his forehead.
