Chapter 136: Prince Minzhang (middle)
The five princes were furious and slammed their fists on the bookcase. The whole book case trembled, and even a crack appeared in one leg.
"It's worse than eating flies. Look at our title, and then look at the old twelve, he alone is a double word. My father's heart is too biased. The fifth prince said through gritted teeth.
The Seventh Prince smiled indifferently, patted the Fifth Prince's fist, and said, "Fifth Brother, my father has always been wise and martial, and whoever is partial or not is the son of his father, and his old man is naturally treated equally." ”
"Is this called treating everyone equally?" The fifth prince looked at the seventh prince with the eyes of a fool, "Old Seven, do you have a big heart or do you think I'm a deceitful? Don't fool me with that set of high-sounding rhetoric! All the princes have been awarded the title of prince, and the title is a single word representing nobility and nobility, but only one person is a double word, is this not called partiality?"
"Fifth brother, don't worry, the younger brother and the fifth brother have always had the same heart, how could they fool you?
The fifth brother thought about it, this time the twelfth brother made two miraculous achievements, and his father was happy, and he originally wanted to reward him lavishly. But as soon as the court mentioned this, it attracted a wave of opposition.
No matter what kind of reason he was born for, how could he not be angry when he saw that the courtiers were so eager to disobey him?
The behavior of these people is tantamount to offending Tianwei, and the father is the king of a country, so he naturally wants to give everyone an impressive reminder, don't forget who has the final say in the entire Dayue.
This time, the father not only wants to promote the twelve younger brothers, but at the same time, it is also a beating on everyone.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the father and emperor rewarding the twelve younger brothers.
You must know that this errand will not be more beautiful than the twelfth brother, and we still have to admit this. Just talking about the auspicious things that fell from the sky in Wanhuai Mansion, the little brother asked himself that he had no ability to do it. ”
"What kind of auspicious fortune fell from the sky? It must be that the old twelve found man-made momentum and bought a bunch of ignorant people. The fifth prince sneered.
"The fifth brother's suspicion is not unreasonable. The people are so ignorant that they are easily bought and deceived. The Seventh Prince followed the words of the Fifth Prince, and then, after a change of words, said, "But the problem is that not only the people saw it with their own eyes that night, but also our own spies saw it really, and these people are not something that the Twelfth Brother can buy."
At the celebration banquet that day, almost all the officials of the entire Wanhuai Mansion gathered in one place, including the officials and guards of the disaster relief, and everyone saw it.
The heavens and the earth changed color, the pitch-black evil dragon and the crimson true dragon, the rain that made all things grow, and the divine light shining down from the nine heavens, although it was bizarre, but it did happen. ”
"Old Twelve, how could he be so lucky to encounter such a thing?" the fifth prince was extremely unwilling.
"Fifth Brother actually thinks that this is something that can be encountered?" the Seventh Prince asked with a smirk.
"What do you mean?" the fifth prince was wary when he heard this, "Do you think this is the old twelve's own thing?
"The twelfth brother shouldn't be able to, but the fifth brother should not forget our future twelfth brother and sister, the most favored county lord Wenxi in front of my father and emperor. The Seventh Prince reminded.
"The daughter of a businessman, it is still possible to use money to kill people, but if she can create this auspicious scene from the sky, heh, I don't believe it if she says it. The fifth prince said contemptuously.
"Fifth brother, don't underestimate this Helian girl. Not to mention that none of us have a bargain in her hands, just the treasures that she gave away at the palace banquet for her first appearance, none of them look like mortal things.
How long has it been, look at the face of the Queen Mother who is like a girl, the Duan Concubine Niangniang who has been crippled for more than ten years but is now walking like flying, and the ruined face of Concubine Rong that makes people dare not look at the second glance but has recovered as before...... Have you ever heard of these things before?" reminded the Seventh Prince.
The fifth prince thought about it for a while, and was shocked into a cold sweat: "In this way, it is unknown that this Helian clan really has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth." Right now, it is true that even her father loves her very much, isn't the old twelve stained with great light. ”
Not necessarily. The Seventh Prince said slowly.
The fifth prince waited, but he didn't wait for his next words, and urged: "Seventh brother, don't sell Guanzi." The fifth brother is not as good as you in this regard, come and listen to the fifth brother. ”
The Seventh Prince smiled and said, "Fifth brother, no one can touch our father's temperament, and it looks like a favor on the side, but only his old man knows what it is.
I dare not say anything else, but all kings have one characteristic in common, that is, they are suspicious. Just because the county lord of Wenxi was able to make the twelve younger brothers desperately ask his father to marry in front of everyone, it was impossible for his father not to be wary of her. ”
"Are you saying that the father is only kind to her on the surface, but in fact he is secretly guarding against her?" the fifth prince asked half-incredulously, "With the status of the father and the emperor of a country, do you need to be so close to pleasing the daughter of a merchant?"
"If it is an ordinary businessman, it is naturally not enough, but it is the Helian family, the 'No. 1 merchant in the world' who has been prosperous for nearly a thousand years, and this alone is enough to make people fearful. The Seventh Prince analyzed, "It's not enough to please, but it's somewhat appeased."
From the perspective of the father, it is not difficult to understand.
If this Yuan Niang of the Helian family is really in love with the twelfth brother, it will be an absolute good thing for Da Yue. In fact, no matter which prince she fancies, her father will definitely agree to this marriage in the end. Left and right are their own sons, as long as they coax people well, then there will be a hundred benefits and no harm.
What she can bring is not only inexhaustible wealth, but also unimaginable rare treasures, maybe she can keep the country of Dayue for thousands of years. ”
"I didn't expect that. The fifth prince said thoughtfully, "Father's mind is really incomprehensible. ”
"Maybe that's what my father wants. The more uncertain you are, the less you dare to act rashly, and the more obediently you will surrender. The Seventh Prince guessed, "Anyway, let's just remember not to have any big rebellious thoughts."
It doesn't matter if the brothers compete for the throne or anything, just don't hit your father with your idea.
Our father doesn't dare to say anything else, but there are many sons, and one or two less is not a big deal. Don't worry about finding someone to succeed you. ”
"It's nature. The five princes deeply agreed, "The father is the king and the father, whether it is offending the monarch or hurting the biological father, it is against the principles of heaven and morals, and it must not be done." ”
The seventh prince disagreed in his heart, but he still praised on his face: "The fifth brother is filial piety and virtuous, and the younger brother is ashamed." ”
"Don't pour me ecstasy soup here. The fifth prince laughed, "My King Ji, you are King Min, they are all flashy titles, and they are not as important as the word Min Zhang." ”
"These titles were all set by my father himself, and each of them has deep meanings.
The eldest brother is the king of amber, and amber is the jade of sending troops, and he secretly cooperates with the eldest brother to take charge of the army, and he is brave and good at fighting. It sounds majestic, but in fact it is the last of the six rituals of the sacrifice, which also implies that the eldest brother is unlikely to be the successor of his father.
The three emperor brothers are the king of Rui, and Rui is auspicious and a good omen. A Rui word, but it gave the three emperor brothers' grandfather's family great glory.
The four princes are the kings of Cong, Cong, which is a ritual instrument when sacrificing to the earth, and the father is the son of heaven, and the four emperor brothers, who are the queen's concubines, have a noble Cong character, which shows the nobility and respect of their identity.
Although the five emperor brothers' Ji and the younger brother's Min are not as good as the three emperor brothers and the four emperor brothers, they both refer to precious jade.
The glass of the six emperor brothers is not even touched by the edge of the jade, and the glass looks gorgeous and clear, but it is the most fragile.
The tenth brother is the king of tortoise, he has always been frail, recuperating in the house all the year round, and rarely goes out. The tortoiseshell is a tortoise, and the tortoiseshell has a long life, and his father chose a tortoiseshell character for him, hoping that his life will be longer.
As for our twelve brothers, they are really saints. Intelligent, diligent and erudite are sensitive. And Zhang, since ancient times, is the jade of the southern sacrifice, although it is ranked after Cong, it can also be used for marriage, funeral, Yazhang can also be used as a festival vessel to send troops. In addition to worshiping the god of the southern Suzaku bird, it can also be used as a sacrifice to the mountains and rivers and the patrol of the Son of Heaven.
No matter how you look at it, the twelfth brother is now a good son in the eyes of his father. The Seven Princes concluded.
"Intelligent, intelligent, diligent and ......erudite," the fifth prince recited these eight words repeatedly, "It is said that the old twelve broke into the camp of tens of thousands of Qing troops with only three people, and not only blew up the artillery, but also retreated, and even the monarch of Qingguo did not dare to pursue it."
At first, I didn't believe it, but now that I think about it, there is a Helian clan who wants to help, and with the hidden skills of those people under her who come and go without a trace, it is still very possible to sneak in and do something without knowing it. In any case, it still takes some courage and wisdom. It doesn't hurt to give him this sensitive word.
It's just that he was only given two words, what is the difference between directly sealing him as the prince?"
"This is the genius of my father, everyone thinks so, but they only dare to think so, and no one dares to ask. The father's move is so ambiguous, it is to make everyone have such doubts, but in the end, only his old man can decide.
Didn't they object to rewarding only one of the twelve brothers? Well, my father made all the princes princes, and he did not give in, but slapped everyone in the face. If you dare to offend the majesty of the king of a country, you must be conscious.
The father and emperor of those people's minds can see it clearly, don't they just want to suppress the rapidly rising twelfth brother? The father and emperor are not as good as they want, and not only that, but they also want to hold the twelve brothers high and above everyone.
In the final analysis, my father just wants everyone to know that the level of favor and humiliation depends on his old man's decision, and no one should think about it. The Seventh Prince had completely calmed down, and he was full of a hint of the emperor's intentions.
"In other words, most of the reason why my father would praise the old twelve like this is just to beat everyone and prove that he has a firm grasp of all the power?" asked the fifth prince with hope. Does that mean that the old twelve are not enough to compete with them?
"It can only be said that it is part of the reason. The father was really very satisfied with the performance of the twelfth brother. The Seventh Prince poured cold water on him, "Father probably doesn't mind giving the Twelfth Brother a chance to prove that he can be qualified for the position that everyone is competing for.
Anyway, the overall situation is controlled by the father, and there is no big mess.
Moreover, with the threat of the twelfth brother, the situation in the upper court will also change a lot. Whether it gets better or worse, it should be what my father wants to see. ”
