Chapter 259 Meeting the Second Prince of Liao Kingdom

It is precisely because this imperial concubine is favored that the third prince is highly valued and has been carefully cultivated by the lord of the Liao Kingdom.

He has been brought by the Liao Kingdom's lord since he was a child, and he is required according to the standards of the prince.

And this third prince lived up to expectations, he was a very good person, proficient in all things literary, political and military. He was the best of a monarch, completely different from other princes.

If it continues like this, the second prince of the Liao Kingdom has no chance of winning.

The third prince has been praised since he was a child, so he is a little proud. He is not as lawless as the fifth prince, but he is also a little young and vigorous.

While hunting, I accidentally fell off my horse. The injury was healed, but the root of the disease remained.

After taking medicine for many years for conditioning, but still not recovering to the previous level, this is also a dispute in the court against the prince.

According to Tuhada, the third prince's personality has changed somewhat since he was injured. He is often irritable and loses his temper. The servants he serves are often punished, and some even lose their lives.

However, these matters were all suppressed by the Liao Kingdom's ruler, and only the second prince and the others knew about them.

And this fourth prince was born to a very ordinary concubine, but this concubine's father is a general, and although he has handed over the military power now, there are many people he trained in the military.

The fourth prince has the support of many in the army. Most of the people who assassinated the second prince before were the fourth prince's people.

A small number of people belong to the third prince and queen.

At the beginning, the fourth prince gave people the impression of a gentle and modest gentleman. It was only after the third prince Chun was injured that he slowly began to emerge.

If the third prince seemed to be a successful ruler, then the fourth prince was the biggest mastermind behind the scenes.

It's very strategic, making it impossible to guard against.

According to Tuhada, after the empress sent someone to escort them back to the imperial capital last time, she realized that many things were done by the fourth prince, which was very deeply hidden.

The former Second Prince only wanted to compete for favor and gain the attention of the Liao Kingdom Lord.

But after a narrow escape last time, I thoroughly realized that only when the initiative is in my own hands can I live comfortably, and I can do whatever I want.

These few people grew up together. When the second prince was being bullied, he often met the fourth prince, and it was the fourth prince who stepped forward to protect the second prince.

So the second prince is very grateful to his younger brother, and the secret business chain in his hands is run for the fourth prince.

As a result, what the second prince didn't expect was that the most important person who killed him in the end was his fourth brother.

It was also the fourth prince who encouraged the second prince to study in the Dawu Kingdom and assassinate the empress.

The perpetrator became the second prince himself, and the fourth prince picked it very clean afterwards.

Therefore, in conclusion, the second prince is a pitiful and unpopular little man who wants conditions and no conditions, and wants people and no one.

The third prince is justified, the heir in the eyes of the king of the Liao Kingdom, apart from being in poor health, has the support of more than half of the real power civil servants and the king, as long as he can live long, under the arrangement of the king of the Liao Kingdom, he can succeed to the throne .

The fourth prince is supported by military generals, and at the same time he is smart, strategic, and ruthless, which meets the standards of an emperor.

The fifth prince is the most orthodox son. The queen's natal family fully supports it, and half of the important officials in the court support it. It is justifiable to inherit the throne and do nothing.

Summing it up like this, it seems that the second prince of the Liao Kingdom has the least chance of winning. No wonder the second prince of the Liao Kingdom is pressing so hard.

But at the last moment when things don't get done, no one knows what will happen.

In many cases in history, the last dark horse ascended to the throne, and those who jumped happily in the early stage died very early.

Chen Yi asked Tuha what's the situation now, and whether anything happened in the court recently. Tuha thought for a while, and said that the health of the king of Liao Kingdom suddenly became ill recently, so the situation is quite tense now.

After Chen Yi heard this, he was thoughtful.

After a long journey, Chen Yi and Tuha finally arrived at the fiefdom of the second prince of Liao.

Now, apart from the second prince, there are four princes who have fiefdoms. The third prince has won the heart of the king, coupled with his poor health, he justifiably lives in the imperial capital.

The reason for the fifth prince's young age, coupled with the escort of the queen, the king of the country is afraid of the power of the queen's natal family, and no one else can say anything.

Seeing Chen Yi excitedly, the second prince of Liao Kingdom immediately stepped forward and laughed excitedly.

"Chen Shilang, you are finally here. I've been waiting for a long time. Sit down and rest quickly. Serve hot tea to warm up your body."

Chen Yi was a little surprised, he didn't expect the second prince of Liao Kingdom to be so excited, he said politely.

"Your Highness is too polite. It's better not to call me Chen Shilang now. It seems inappropriate. Call me by my given name. My courtesy name is Zishang. Zishang may stay here for a while, so that no one will Got the handle."

When the second prince of Liao Kingdom heard this, he immediately changed his words in a polite manner: "Okay, listen to Zishang."

The two chatted politely for a while, and Chen Yi's body also warmed up.

It's not spring yet, and the weather is still relatively cold. In addition, Liao is located in the northwest, so it's cold and windy.

Chen Yi hadn't gotten used to it when he first arrived here, but now he's finally much better.

The second prince of Liao Kingdom seemed to have a lot to say, but when he saw Chen Yi's dusty appearance, he immediately arranged for someone to let Chen Yi settle down. Chen Yi felt very comfortable, so he didn't refuse.

Chen Yi took a hot bath, had a meal and went to rest early.

This sleep lasted until the afternoon, and when Chen Yi opened his eyes, he felt the dazzling sunlight, very warm on his body.

When he came together, I realized that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

After Chen Yi went out, someone came in to help Chen Yi brush his teeth and wash his hands, and the prepared meals were also served.

Chen Yi couldn't help feeling that the treatment was good, and he would not be so comfortable when he returned to Dawu Kingdom in the future.

After Chen Yi finished his meal, he put on thick clothes and followed Tuhada to the study to meet the second prince of Liao. When Chen Yi entered, he realized that there were not only the second prince of Liao, but also other people. people.

Chen Yi estimated that he might also be a counselor or a minister who supported him. Chen Yi didn't know anyone, so he was very low-key.

"Zi Shang has met His Highness, and everyone."

The second prince of the Liao Kingdom immediately walked over with a smile on his face, and said enthusiastically, "Sir, come and sit down quickly, you don't need to be so polite."

When several other people heard that the second prince of Liao called Chen Yi this way, they all followed suit and saluted: "I have seen Mr. Zishang."

Chen Yi didn't expect the second prince of Liao Kingdom to praise him so highly. This is not a very good thing. Chen Yi remembered a sentence in 10 minutes, that is, knowing too much will not lead to good results.

Adding that he recalled the last time when the second prince of the Liao Kingdom had wooed him before leaving, Chen Yi decided to proceed cautiously.
