Xiao Jingyi thought for a moment, then a flash of inspiration came to him and he came up with a good idea.

Since this was not a good job and might even be life-threatening, he could take this opportunity to get rid of the annoying person.

He was worried that he would not have the chance to get rid of Jamel Xiao, but he did not expect that this perfect opportunity would come to his door like this.

If we can take this opportunity to get rid of Jamel Xiao, not only will it be clean and tidy, but we will also be able to distance ourselves from him.

The more Xiao Jingyi thought about it, the more he felt that this was an excellent opportunity, so he would give his "dear" fifth brother a big gift.

Who told Fifth Brother to be so ignorant and block his way?

Xiao Jingyi used his spy to find out that his father wanted to select one of their brothers to investigate the matter.

Xiao Jingyi smiled after learning about this, it was just what he wanted.

The prince and the sixth prince will definitely side with Jamel Xiao. If he wants to push Jamel Xiao out, he must get the support of the second prince and the third prince.

Even if his father couldn't directly choose Jamel Xiao, at least they would be evenly matched, and he would have his own way with the rest.

Let’s not talk about whether the second prince and the third prince could have thought of the danger of this matter. In any case, this was a hard job, and they would definitely not want to be chosen based on their temperaments.

As long as they grasp this, Xiao Jingyi believes that they will agree to form an alliance with him.

Xiao Jingyi released the news in advance. After learning about it, the second prince Xiao Jingcheng and the third prince Xiao Jingfeng were worried about the hard work and were very distressed.

Both of them have received titles and opened mansions outside the palace. The second prince Xiao Jing became Prince An, and the third prince Xiao Jingfeng became Prince Qin.

At the moment, the two of them are discussing countermeasures in Prince An's Mansion.

At this moment, Xiao Jingyi came to the door and proposed an alliance between the two.

Xiao Jingyi has always been a peacemaker in their eyes. The two of them were completely unprepared for him and readily accepted such a proposal that was beneficial to them.

Jamel Xiao asked: "Fourth brother, since we have formed an alliance, should we recommend the fifth brother or the sixth brother to our father?"

The prince had a special status, and his father would not let him leave the capital easily, so the only remaining princes were the fifth and sixth princes.

Both Xiao Jingcheng and Xiao Jingfeng speculated that Xiao Jingyi would target the sixth prince Xiao Jingheng. After all, their mothers and concubines had always been at odds with each other, and they also disliked each other.

Who would have thought that Jamel Xiao actually chose Jamel Xiao? The two looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.

Naturally, it was impossible for Xiao Jingyi to tell them the "grievance" between him and Jamel Xiao. After all, Jamel Xiao had also had Lin Qingyao's idea, but he got there first.

Of course, Jamel Xiao also wanted that position. If he hadn't thought that Xiao Jingyi was not interested in fighting for the throne, he would have fallen out with him.

"Fourth brother, don't you always like to fight with sixth brother? With such a 'good thing' happening this time, we thought you would turn towards him."

Xiao Jingyi thought for a moment and explained: "It's fine if it's about other things. My father attaches great importance to this matter. Even if we shirk it, we have to have a suitable reason, right? Second brother and third brother, think about it carefully. Before, my father Let the six of us brothers go to the Sixth Department for training, who is going to the Ministry of Industry?"

After hearing this, Jamel Xiao and Jamel Xiao thought for a moment and said in unison: "Fifth brother!"

Xiao Jingyi smiled and nodded, "Exactly, the construction of the dam is the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry, and the fifth brother happens to have experience. Wouldn't it be popular for him to go? It would be more reasonable for us to recommend him and change his name. What do the two brothers think?"

After listening to Xiao Jingyi's words, the two of them suddenly understood and nodded frequently.

"Fourth brother, you have to think carefully. Then I will do as you say. The three of us will be on the same page."

Seeing the two of them take the bait, Xiao Jingyi was secretly happy, but Xiao Jingyi still kept it in mind.

Just because they haven't thought about it now doesn't mean they won't doubt his intentions in retrospect.

To be on the safe side, Xiao Jingyi explained again.

Xiao Jingyi sighed and said, "Actually, we are all brothers, and I feel sorry for whoever sacrificed it. However, my father has to choose one of us, so I have no choice but to do it."

Jamel Xiao comforted: "We all understand that among our brothers, you, fourth brother, have always been the most popular, and you consider others in everything. I believe that other people have other agendas. If it were fourth brother, we would not Too much thought."

Xiao Jingcheng echoed: "Yes, fourth brother, this is not a good job after all. For ourselves, we can only sacrifice one brother. This is the best choice after weighing the pros and cons. There is no need to blame yourself."

Although both of them felt that Xiao Jingyi didn't have any bad intentions and wanted to comfort him, they really couldn't stand talking without pain in their backs.

After all, Xiao Jingyi was on their side and did not harm their interests, so naturally they had to say something nice.

Xiao Jingyi felt secretly happy when he heard this, and then he pretended to be helpless and nodded.

The next day, Xiao Chenyu summoned six princes to discuss the candidates for the investigation.

"The emperors must have heard about the disaster in Qinan. This matter not only has a great impact but is also full of doubts. I have decided to send one of you to investigate the matter clearly. But I have not decided on the candidate yet. I want to first Let’s listen to the opinions of the princes.”

Xiao Jingyi had already released the news in advance, and naturally everyone present knew about it.

Unlike Xiao Jingcheng and Xiao Jingfeng, Xiao Jinghui, as the prince, had a strong desire to take care of his father's worries, so he took the initiative to ask for help.

"Father, I recommend myself to go there to take care of my father's worries."

Xiao Chenyu was very pleased when he heard this. He was right. His Hui'er was indeed the most sensible and responsible person, and he was worthy of being his prince.

Even if he is gone in the future, he can safely leave the country in Hui'er's hands.

"Hui'er, I understand how you feel. If possible, I would be most at ease if I leave this matter to you. But you are the prince, and you have to learn how to handle government affairs from me. Let your brothers handle these things. That’s good.”

Going out on errands is always risky. As the prince, Hui'er cannot bear such risks, so he can't be sent this time.

"Father..."

Xiao Jinghui wanted to fight for it again, but was interrupted by Xiao Chenyu.

"Hui'er, you don't have to say anything anymore. Let the other princes tell you what they think."

When Xiao Jingyi heard this, he winked at his two brothers, and they both understood and spoke one after another.

Xiao Jingfeng was the first to speak: "Father, I also want to share your worries like my elder brother, but I don't know much about water conservancy, so I'm afraid I won't be qualified to do this."

Xiao Jingcheng took the words and continued: "Father, I agree with what the third brother said. This matter is of great importance. It is better to choose an experienced brother to go. I remember that the fifth brother once had experience in the Ministry of Industry for a period of time. He must know the most about water conservancy, so I think fifth brother is the most suitable candidate."
