III Jiangshan

In the outskirts, the crown prince and the princes joined hundreds of officials and sent away the 3 Chinese army led by Qin Wang Yuan Chengping.

The guard of honor of the King of Qin, as well as the [-] Great Wei Yingwu Erlang, horses, baggage, etc., had long since disappeared. The crown prince was still looking in that direction without moving.

Among the crowd, his status is the most honorable.He didn't move, and others would not dare to leave without authorization.

After being in a daze for a quarter of an hour, Prince Yuan Chengyin suddenly woke up. He realized that everyone was standing here with him, and the embarrassment flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"With the support of General Qi and other generals, the King of Qin will be able to succeed immediately, defeat the enemy and win the victory, and live up to the entrustment of his father." The prince said loudly to everyone.

He was speaking on the spot, and anyone could hear it. With his words, the King of Qin was just a show. The ones who were really capable of fighting and defending against the enemy were "General Qi" and "Generals".

All the ministers are smart, and when they heard this, the leader sneered in his heart: What about the deep brotherhood in the past?Up to now, in front of that dragon chair, it is not worth mentioning!

When I was in Qiandi today, the first emperor conferred the title of King Qin.Everyone knows this.

Now, the crown prince is still here, but he has no choice but to designate the fourth son of the emperor as the king of Qin, or the general who "conquered the Qiang on behalf of me". What kind of cards does His Majesty play?

This question has left a question mark in the hearts of all the ministers since the day when Emperor Wei promulgated the decree of entrusting the princes.

Also because of this decree, the factions in the court and China that were once clearly separated have undergone extremely subtle changes in just a few days.

The emperor is not too old to be confused. Since he issued this decree, there must be deep meaning in it.

Think about the origin of the title of King Qin, and then think about the old mountain ginseng that was given to the prince to "make up the brain", and think about being named a prince at the age of 16. I heard that His Majesty has been staying at the place of his mother and concubine Wei Xianfei for the past few days. Wu Wang, who lives in Fengyi Palace, is nothing compared to Yuan Chengxuan, the seventh son who conferred the title of King Zhao, and Yuan Chengbai, the third son who only fulfilled his wish and his beloved son was conferred the crown prince. .

Now, King Wu and King Qin are truly in full bloom!

All the ministers focused their eyes on the three His Highnesses——

King Wu, King Qin, and the prince.

Obviously, almost no one is optimistic about the prince.

Originally it was a certainty, he had been crowned prince since he was born, and had enjoyed the title safely and securely for 28 years. His Majesty only made a few orders, and this person was born into a poor wretch whose status was precarious.

Everyone looked at the prince, and couldn't help showing pity and regret, as if the name of the prince had been taken away invisibly.

But on weekdays, those who had offended the prince were all secretly delighted in their hearts, secretly looking at the king of Wu who was sitting on the horse, half a horse behind the prince, but even more handsome than the prince.

In terms of appearance and demeanor, King Wu is the one who most resembles His Majesty among the princes, right?

No wonder His Majesty often said, "Of all my sons, Lao Jiu most resembles me when I was young."

Everyone has their own calculations in their hearts, not only for their own future, but also for the future of the entire family behind them in the next few decades.

For a while, the atmosphere was quite weird.

Prince Yuan Chengyin is a sensitive person.He seemed to be urging the horse forward slowly, but in fact most of his mind was on paying attention to the reactions of the people present.

However, the result of paying attention made him very disappointed, and some faint annoyance surged up from the deepest part of his heart.

Ever since he could remember, he knew that his temper was not at all like his father, more like his mother who unfortunately passed away after giving birth to him.

Benevolent, sensitive, bookish...

He has lived for nearly 30 years, and has been scolded countless times by his father, sometimes because of his mishandling of something, "the benevolence of a woman";

He has always known that his temperament is not compatible with decisiveness, competence, ruthlessness, or heroism.

And these adjectives are what an emperor should really possess.

The prince was thinking wildly like this, and couldn't help sneaking a few younger brothers behind him.

In terms of prowess, he thought he could not compare to Chengxuan, the seventh younger brother who had experienced military experience and was full of masculinity.

In terms of ruthlessness, he thinks he is not even half as good as his third brother Cheng Bai.

In terms of decisiveness and ability, how can he be the opponent of the ninth brother?Even the woman he adores can give up to his father, hehe, not everyone can do this.

Such a concession, in exchange for a prince title, and a bright future, oh, what a good deal!

The more the prince thought about it, the more resentful he felt in his heart. Not to mention the fourth younger brother who had just sent away with the name of the King of Qin, armed with heavy soldiers, and went to war on behalf of his father. It was the younger brothers in front of him. He couldn't find his own. On him, there is even a little bit better than them...

Except, the name of the prince!

But this name, whether to go or stay, is not a matter of father's will!

The prince's fingers holding the reins of the horse were clenched silently, pale as if bleeding from blood.

He complained for himself, hated his father for not knowing people, and was so confused——

A wife who sells his wife, who can give up the woman he loves without blinking an eye; a nobleman, who even misses the woman his own son likes...

What a father and son!

The prince spat secretly.

He despised such a father, such a brother.

Fortunately, he used to be a decent person when he was still the king of Wu!

Ah!One or two of them have a wonderful life!Only myself, a decent person, has come to the point where even my biological father despises "brainless"!

He could no longer be as calm as water.He is the prince, and he should be the future emperor.He has long been used to being a prince, and he has long been used to thinking about how to prosper etiquette, how to educate the people, and how to compose a grand system that has never been seen before or since when he ascends the throne in the future...

No one is allowed to worry about his seat!

Even if it's his father, it won't work!

Prince Yuan Chengyin didn't realize that at this moment, his face was extremely pale, and his eyes were also glowing with a strange fiery red.

He spun his horse sharply, and suddenly said to the direction where Prime Minister Ding was behind him: "Now the father is sick and unable to go to court, and Wu Le and Xi Qiang have invaded the border. Gu is very worried that the state affairs will be delayed. Please Ding Xiang go to the East Palace Let’s go and inform you about the recent important state affairs.”

Everyone heard this passage clearly, and they were all secretly surprised: 28 years ago, why did the prince pay so much attention to state affairs?

Ding Xiang heard that the unnaturalness on the old face could hardly be concealed.He is the elder of the three dynasties, how could he not see clearly the complexity of the heir of the state and the predicament of the prince?

According to his plan, it is the best policy to wait and see what happens and act secretly.Who would have thought that his grandson, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince whom he had placed high hopes on, would be impatient!

With such words, wouldn't he and the Ding family be roasted on the fire?

Ding Xiang tried his best to squeeze out a smile, and said in a steady voice: "His Royal Highness, please rest assured. Although Your Majesty has not come to the court early, none of the cabinet and the six ministers are lazy. They can only be more diligent than before!"

His words undoubtedly refuted the prince's eagerness and appropriateness.

Unfortunately, the crown prince was too impatient to accept his favor, but went further: "In this case, please invite Xiang Ding to go to the East Palace and talk to Gu Xiang."

Ding Xiang was slightly taken aback, but with a sullen expression, he reluctantly smiled and said: "Then please invite the senior officials from the Sixth Department to accompany the old minister to the East Palace!"

When he said this, he obviously avoided being alone with the prince.

However, is it an ordinary person who can do six ministers?They have seen clearly the joints, and no one wants to offend the prince when the situation is not yet clear, and they all respectfully said: "With the boss here, I think everything will be considered."

In this way, Ding Xiang's invitation to avoid suspicion was rejected.

The prince is not blindly stupid.He really wanted to ask Ding Xiang for advice, but at this moment he had some recollections, and turned his head to his younger brothers with a dry smile and said: "You also go to the East Palace to listen to the state affairs as brothers, it can be considered as a relief for the father."

Although Yuan Chengbai, Yuan Chengxuan, and Yuan Youqi had different personalities, they were all aware of the embarrassment of the situation at hand, and they all declined with a smile, saying that they had their own problems and couldn't get away.

The prince was afraid that they would follow, so he didn't force it.

So the crowd dispersed.

Yuan Chengbai wished he could leave as soon as possible, he had a big thing to do.The prince's actions just now fit his fancy.

After saying goodbye to Yuan Chengxuan and Yuan Youqi, he galloped back to his mansion with his entourage.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he called the long history of the mansion in a series of voices.

"Go! Get the booklet copied by Mr. Chen the day before yesterday!"

Chang Shi naturally got the order, so he hurriedly searched for it and presented it to him.

Yuan Chengbai didn't care about changing clothes or washing his hands, holding the booklet in his hand, he only flipped through a few pages, and a cruel and complacent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Yuan Er is about to end, and now it's just a cornered beast.

So what if there is Ding Xiang?

The Ding family is not his alone!

Ding Xiang will die sooner or later, whoever will be in charge of the Ding family in the future will be the one who really has the final say!

Yuan Chengbai sat on the chair with a big face, tapping the booklet spread on the table with his fingers, feeling more and more grateful for Ding Tonghui's wise plan.

Uncle is really hardworking!Also really caring!To be able to record these things from the book compiled by the poor scholars under Yuan Er's second hand, hey!With this and the fact that the old man doesn't want to see Yuan Er now, why worry that he won't be able to bring him down!

The more Yuan Chengbai thought about it, the happier he became, as if he had already seen his future of overthrowing the prince, defeating the king of Wu, strangling the king of Qin, and distributing the king of Zhao.

This world, the future, is not his?

snort!One day sooner or later, the old man must see that he was really blind when he looked down on me and my concubine!

Yuan Chengbai is bound to win.

And at the same time, in the East Palace.

A thin middle-aged prisoner was framed and thrown on the hard floor of the secret room.

He shrank, not daring to move, let alone raise his head.

From a wooden chair half a foot away, a gloomy voice sounded, as if it came from hell——

"You are an old man from Yan Lai Palace? Do you know the origin of Concubine Jing? Why is she dumb?"
