Li Gong and Li Liang didn't understand what Uncle Lao was talking about, but it was certain that the wind direction had changed, and the pattern of Prince Nine was ushering in a new round of changes and reshuffle. In the midst of this change, everyone has to make a choice, and the choice that goes wrong may determine everyone's future fate.

Li Liang said: "I am willing to listen to the teachings of my uncle." ”

Uncle Lao said: "Li Huachen, you can treat him as a cat and a dog before, killing him is as casual as stepping on a bug, no one wants to get a bug and find trouble with a prince." But now, no. ”

Uncle Lao sighed and said, "We have calculated everything, but we have calculated this one badly." Li Huachen turned out to be the ninth prince of the year, hehe. The two highnesses, probably don't know much about the ninth prince back then, right?"

"I want to hear about it. ”

The old man began to narrate: "This matter, probably only the old man knows, for so many years, the majesty of the king has shocked the entire northern kingdom, no one dares to mention this matter, and no one dares to discuss this matter casually. Back then, Wang Shang was the most unfavored prince, a bit like the combination of the current fourth master and the uncle. The king is as conscientious as the uncle, and as ruthless as the fourth master, he doesn't like to stand in line and form a party, and he doesn't have any ideas about the throne. ”

"The king had three concubines, all of whom were to consolidate the royal power and the marriage of the nobles. However, an unexpected mission leads him to meet a woman, a woman he should not know the last time. That woman was Yu Meiji, the witch of Yaochi back then. Yu Meiji is as her name suggests, beautiful and moving, the key is that she knows how to be a fox, and she flatters the king in every possible way, so that the king is obedient to her, and she is the main backbone in everything. ”

She bewitched the king to ask the beauty not to be in the country, and at the same time secretly communicated with the Bai family's Bai Yulin, intending to subvert the current situation in the north. On the line of the king, she tampered with the edict and set up the most unfavored king, and the rest of the princes were furious and united against the king. However, Yaochi, Baijia, Xiliang, Nanban...... All of them participated, and all of them supported the king's succession. The three kings made a desperate gamble and captured the demon girl Yu Meiji and his child in the suburbs, which is now Li Huachen, intending to use the mother and daughter to coerce the king to give up the throne, but Yu Meiji, she threw the child off the cliff at a critical moment and committed suicide by neck. ”

The uncle let out a long sigh: "Yu Meiji's death made the king suddenly furious, and at the same time, the three kings used lightning speed to win over the ministers of the Northern War to force the palace, intending to kill the king. At that time, the king was isolated and helpless, and the ministers and ministers in the court all thought that the king was a faint king who loved beauty, and the inheritance was tampered with. So, he basically has no chance of winning. And then you know. The five old men gathered in the Northern Warring States to support the king's succession, and your three uncles declared to the outside world that the legitimacy of the king's succession is unquestionable....... ”

Uncle Lao coughed a few times, and Li Gong hurriedly brought him a cup of tea.

Uncle Lao drank tea: "Do you understand? Li Huachen, the child born to your father's favorite woman, has been adrift for nearly twenty years. Although his mother is a demon girl, this child is a real royal bloodline. The king of the Northern War loves Wu and Wu, and when he sees Li Huachen, he will see the woman who died in the most beautiful years, the woman he loves the most. What would he think?"

Li Liang tightly locked his brows: "Guilt." ”

"That's right. Uncle Lao said: "

He felt sorry for the woman and the child, so he would desperately make amends. And this kind of guilt, this kind of compensation, the more you target Li Huachen, the stronger the guilt and compensation of the king will be. ”

The old uncle stood up, Li Gong helped him, and slowly paced in the center: "The king exiled the three kings and did not kill them, but from that day on, his heart also died. He has become a real king, he is lonely and domineering! He is full of words, he is thoughtful, he can hold the whole northern country in the palm of his hand, and he will be prosperous and stable for decades. Everyone can read his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and everyone knows what is in his heart. However, the appearance of Li Huachen made waves in his heart again. The iron-faced and ruthless prince back then is back. You and Li Huachen fought fiercely in the Northern War, and he actually erected two barriers, this should not be the behavior of a calm king at all, he has become a father with a soft heart and a guilty heart. ”

"Uncle, what do you want to say after talking about so much history?" Li Gong said eagerly: "What kind of identity is his mother?"

"No identity. Uncle Lao said: "His mother's identity has never been recognized." No one recognized it back then, and after the king succeeded to the throne, he didn't have the ability to posthumously seal her, even if he wanted to, the people of Yaochi would not agree. So, in theory, she's just a woman that your father kept outside, that's all. It's just that the trouble is that this woman gave birth to a child for him. ”

Li Liang said: "Then Li Huachen is not worthy of the identity of a prince! He is not a child of a real princess at all." ”

"Huh. The old uncle smiled: "Whether you are worthy or not, do you have the final say? Is it still important whether it is a genuine princess or not? The king deprived him of his inheritance, what does it mean, don't you understand? It is to tell you, don't harm him, he will not become a threat to you like the king back then." He only begs you not to seek his life again. At the same time, he also set up a mansion for him, which is to tell you that he has recognized Li Huachen's identity, and you must also recognize it! Let him live safely, richly, and with dignity as a prince. This is the king, all the expectations for Li Huachen. ”

Li Liang said: "In other words, Li Huachen ......." ”

Uncle Lao said: "He is no longer a threat to you, in fact, even if he is, he is a threat that you can't get rid of." Previously he was a bug, now he is a prince. Your way of dealing with him, your attitude and your mindset will change. And it's a sea change. ”

"How?"

Uncle Lao said: "Treat him as a prince, as a force, as a character, as an opponent worth faced, or as an ally." ”

"Allies!?" Li Gong said: "We almost fought with him, allies!?"

"Yes, uncle, we killed his junior brother, he will never give up, the current situation, is that there is no room for reconciliation without me. ”

"Seventh master, the one who has achieved great things, is not informal. Personal grievances are not as good as the great cause of the family and the country. War and peace, intimacy and distancing, near and far, all change with the change of events. Li Huachen understands this truth, and you must understand it too. ”

"What do you mean!?" Li Gong opened his eyes: "Do you want us to go and show favor to Li Huachen!?"

"Why not

But?" Uncle Lao said: "You go, if Li Huachen humiliates you, it is because he has no stomach, the king sees it in his eyes, and the various forces in the Northern Warring States also see it in his eyes, and it is he who is ashamed, not you." If you don't go, Li Huachen will be co-opted by the uncle and the prince's people, no matter who he stands with, at that time, if he wants to deal with the two of you, will he have any concerns?"

The seventh master felt very depressed: "But...... How do I get close to him? It's been ...... to this point. ”

"Don't forget, how your father came to power. Uncle Lao said: "It is not supported in China, but the five old men, Yaochi, Xiliang, and Nanban...... They are all for your father. Today, Li Huachen has a close relationship with the medicine man of the five old men, and the prince of Xiliang Kingdom is a senior brother, and he has Yaochi blood, and the people of Yaochi will support Li Huachen infinitely because of their blood relationship. Whoever can win over Li Huachen can make the balance tilt towards whom. You're either going to sit back and wait for your face to die, or you're ...... Like a real hero, accept him with a smile, get close to him, and woo him. Even if you wait for you to ascend the throne and kick him away again, it will be a later story. ”

Li Liang and Li Gong were silent.

Uncle Lao sighed: "It's not so easy to be a king. Which country, that king, did not bear humiliation and grievances, step on blood and bones, and step by step to the throne? I have already made things clear, and I ask the two masters to think twice about how to choose. ”

The attitude of the uncle and the prince towards Li Huachen spread throughout the Northern Warring States almost overnight.

Not only the king, but now the prince and the uncle, the eldest son of the king, and the prince and prince, all fully recognize Li Huachen's identity, and move around frequently in private, plus Li Buyun, the fourth master who was originally non-partisan, was also disturbed by Li Huachen.

Li Huachen instantly became hot, and there was an endless stream of people coming to the door. But this situation only lasted for a few days, and after that, a major event turned the original undercurrent of the Northern Warring States into a national riot.

The Bai family is already ready to move.

The King of the Northern War urged the Bai family to hand over the Forgiveness God Battle Armor, and the Bai family recalled the combat power and actively contacted many sects, and also sent people to the Central Plains to cry blood to Emperor Zhong Ji.

The King of the Northern War was furious and gave the Bai family an ultimatum, and the Bai family's tone hardened, and they began to reply to the King of the Northern War for breaking the previous agreement, trying to occupy and embezzle the private treasures of the Bai family, intending to expand the territory and annex other countries.

The Bai family contacted Xiliang, Nanman, Dongwu, and many big factions in the rivers and lakes, and also issued a letter of complaint to the General Bureau of Bad Behavior. All the top ten reigning people have received the news, and their internal opinions are divided, with a considerable number of people supporting the Northern War King, but there are also many people supporting the Bai family.

The two sides have a complete showdown, and one step further is on the verge of a big war.

Nine princes, eight busy feet hit the back of the head. The eldest and third masters were so tired that they almost vomited blood, the prince, the fifth master, and the sixth master were also nervous and stepped up their preparations, and the seventh and eighth masters also stepped up their defenses and were always ready to meet major changes.

The Ninth Master ...... Seems busier than everyone else.

Li Huachen wore a hard hat and sat happily in the courtyard of his new house for a barbecue. Across from him, hundreds of workers are working on his new home.

Ah, life, a new page is about to be ushered in.
