After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

The prince looked at Jiang Chen in front of him, sighed and said:

"This is to be expected. It is impossible for the Hou family to let the daughter of a criminal official become the mistress of the Jiang family. And your half-brother Jiang Feng can take this opportunity to replace you. , he and Hu Peng hooked up together all day long, hanging around King Wei. He was sure that King Wei would be able to ascend to Dabao in the future. How could he let go of such a good opportunity to curry favor. Now he will soon have a prince With the title of Prince of the Mansion, I can then naturally inherit the title of Marquis of Dingyuan."

Jiang Chen nodded and said:

"Actually, my father, Marquis Dingyuan, had already planned everything for him. The purpose of sending him to Taixue was to let him take the imperial examination. If he can get the gold medal, he can enter the officialdom. Parents love their children. The plan is far-reaching, and now it seems that as long as my grandfather and father agree to give him my title of surname, he will be the legitimate Marquis of Dingyuan from now on."

The prince carefully looked at Jiang Chen in front of him, pondered for a moment, and said to Jiang Chen:

"Jiang Chen, are you resentful of this outcome?"

Jiang Chen said:

"Times are also lucky, one moment and another. If this happened in the past, I would never be able to swallow this breath. But now I am quite lucky that there are intact eggs under the overturned nest. I am lucky to be alive now. .”

The way the prince looked at Jiang Chen was nothing like what people said.His behavior and conversation were even more unlike those of a fool, which made him very curious. He said to Jiang Chen:

"Jiang Chen, although I don't know much about you, from my conversation with you, I found that you are not as legend says. Then why do they keep saying you are a fool? I heard that even your Your father, Marquis Dingyuan, doesn’t like you either. He would rather raise a son born from a concubine than value your existence. Not only are your thoughts clear, but your thinking is also very quick. Logically speaking, Marquis Dingyuan has no reason not to value you. This legitimate son. This really puzzles me. Can you tell me the reason?"

Jiang Chen saw that the prince had questioned himself. He, the foolish son of Marquis Dingyuan, who was known to everyone in the civil and military dynasties, had changed so much overnight.He had to find a reason to explain, but he couldn't tell him that he was a modern person who had traveled through time. He thought for a moment and then said to the prince calmly:

"To be honest with you, Your Highness, I heard from my mother that when I was a child, I was also tricked into falling off a rockery because I was jealous of others and my brain was damaged. When I woke up, I was indeed in a demented state. Even though I had the title of Little Prince, I was always bullied by the older kids when I went to school. Even at home, I was bullied by those evil slaves behind my back. My father also thought that I had really become a fool from then on. He was disappointed. Yu, he transferred his love for me to Jiang Feng. Except for my mother and the people around me, everyone called me Silly Prince. I was indeed ignorant at that time and my mind was not clear at all, but later As I grew up, I suddenly felt that my brain was getting clearer and clearer, and I was no different from a normal person. I was curious about this change, and after reading a lot of medical books, I figured out that when I fell off the rockery, it should have been a bruise. The blood pressure blocked the cranial nerves and compressed the brain, so my reaction was slow, which made others feel stupid. As I got older, the blood clots in my brain that compressed the cranial nerves slowly disappeared, so I returned to my previous state. normal state."

The prince happily took Jiang Chen's hand and said:

"Great, it would be great if this is the case. I have always felt sorry for you before. I saw you when I was a child. At that time, you were still a smart and smart baby that everyone held in the palm of their hands. Why just... My son has become a stupid prince who is laughed at by everyone. It’s really an eye-opener for me to finally have a descendant like you in the Li family. During my conversation with you, I felt that I was very close to you. And The two of us also have a common mission, which is to avenge General Li's family who was killed. Hu Gao owes the Li family so many lives, we can't just let it go, we want him to repay with blood."

Jiang Chen only listened to his mother's general talk about the murder of the Li family, but I'm afraid even she didn't know the specific details. With these questions, he asked the prince:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, it is hard for my grandfather and uncle to surrender to the enemy as the court said, or to die on the battlefield. Do you know the specific situation? I really want to know how a general with great military exploits can do this. , will end up like this, with everyone being beheaded."

Seeing Jiang Chen's excitement, the prince said to him:

"It is completely nonsense to say that General Li was defeated and surrendered to the enemy. Anyone can surrender to the enemy, but the general will never. This is all a frame-up of the general by Hu Gao and Liu Gu, the supervisor of the army. General Li guarded the Western Region for twenty In the remaining years, countless battles, large and small, were fought. The Xiliang army had long regarded him as a thorn in their flesh. How could he surrender to the enemy regardless of the safety of his family? He led the soldiers on the front line to fight bloody battles many times, crushing the enemy to pieces. It was only through the plans of Xiliang soldiers to invade the Central Plains again and again that our Xuanwu Dynasty could maintain peace for decades. Those Xiliang people had long tried every trick to get rid of him. At this time, Hu Gao reported to the court to send Liu Gu joined the army as a supervisor. This is obviously because he colluded with the Xiliang people to get rid of the general. Do you think all this is just a coincidence? "

When Jiang Chen heard what the prince said, his curiosity was completely aroused.he asked;

"You are saying that Hu Peng was bribed by the Xiliang people, and they teamed up to set a trap for my grandfather, which caused him heavy losses and his whereabouts are unknown."

The prince nodded and said:

"My judgment is this, if something happens to the general, who is the beneficiary? Isn't it obvious? They have long been eyeing my position as the prince. This is completely in line with his current interests. He has been ready to make moves in the court, thinking I want the King of Wei to replace me. First of all, I am the son of Concubine Shu. Although I am now the queen's son by reputation, my adopted son is not my biological son after all. So Hu Gao felt that the King of Wei was also qualified to compete with me for the position of crown prince. He knows that I rely on the general behind me. As long as the general does not fall, my position as crown prince will be secure. Therefore, if you want King Wei to ascend the throne, you must first get rid of General Li. In order to obtain his own selfish desires, he placed The lives of thousands of soldiers on the front line were ignored. I colluded with other countries to frame Zhongliang. I must settle this debt with him. In the past, I always had your grandfather’s support behind me, so my position as crown prince is relatively stable. Even if Hu Gao supported King Wei to ascend the throne I have evil intentions, and I am also wary of the military power in the hands of General Li. Therefore, no matter how much Concubine Li whispers in my father's ears, she can't change my position. Hu Gao saw that the wind on his pillow had no effect, so he started to take advantage of General Li. . He knows that as long as General Li is brought down, I will have no backer. He is now forming cliques in the court and winning over people's hearts in order to prepare for the future."

After listening to the prince's words, Jiang Chen also felt the prince's crisis.Since ancient times, there have been many brothers fighting against each other in the fight for the throne.

Once one's own interests are involved in the royal family, any blood relationship between brothers and sisters will be defeated by interests.The victory of the king and the defeat of the enemy are the lessons learned through blood for thousands of years.

He looked at the prince and asked worriedly:

"Then what should we do next, and how can I help you?"
