"Do you want to know what your father told him when he called Mizhen over today?" At this moment, in the Gaomi Palace, the prince Rong Qingchu was also asking the same question about King Gaomi.

King Gaomi pinched the corners of his forehead a little tiredly, and Rong Qingchu immediately stepped forward and pinched his shoulder and neck for him, judging from his skillful gestures, it was obvious that he often served King Gaomi in person like this.

Seeing this, King Gaomi put down his hand and stared at the golden birthday star bamboo heron pot in front of him a little distractedly, this pot was still one of the congratulatory gifts given by the prince and his wife on his birthday a few years ago.

Although King Gaomi had a golden pot given by the emperor before and loved it very much, in order to show his attention and favor to the prince, he immediately replaced the golden pot.

This move shows how firm and meticulous the support for the prince is.

At this time, looking at the respectful and filial figure of the prince behind him from the polished and smooth body of the golden shouxing bamboo heron pot, King Gaomi felt a burst of sadness for no reason, and after a while, he said lightly: "What else can you say to him?" Naturally, it was a showdown. ”

The kneading of his shoulders paused for a moment, and after continuing, Rong Qingchu's voice carefully considering the wording sounded: "Father, the child is dull, there is really no third brother who is suitable to be the son of the world......"

"But you are my eldest son!!" King Gaomi's suddenly raised voice startled the son, he suddenly took two steps back, walked out from behind King Gaomi, and knelt down in his robe: "Father, the king is angry!"

"Do you think that the father's refusal to change his secret chastity is just out of selfishness?" King Gaomi looked at the prince kneeling in front of him, he really didn't even have the strength to sigh, endured and endured, and then held back his anger, let him get up first, and replied, "Since ancient times, there have been heirs and no grandchildren...... What do you think is the reason? Aren't you just afraid of civil strife? You now say that Mi Zhen is more suitable to be a son of the world than you because he is more talented than you, and this is true!"

"But have you thought about it?"

"Mi Zhen didn't grow up in front of his father after all, and he didn't even take a picture of his father's right-hand man!"

"In this case, just because he is better than you, we will make him the prince, not to mention what your daughter-in-law and the heirs under your knees will think, you say that the courtiers who stand on our side, only your father-in-law will oppose it?"

Rong Qing muttered: "Father, but the little uncle ...... them"

"Your little uncle and they do appreciate Mi Zhen very much, but so far, they are only appreciative, and they have not yet reached the point of provoking me to change the world!" King Gao Mi said hesitantly, "And of course, they have a little love for Mi Zhen out of love, after all, you have grown up under their watch, and your conduct has always been well-known." People can be ruthless, even if they think that the secret chastity is more suitable than you to be the son of the world, do you think there are a few people who are ruthless enough to persuade me to abandon you?!"

However, the fact is that the third brother is more suitable to be a son than a child. Rong Qingchu hesitated for a moment and insisted, "And the third brother has suffered so much outside over the years......

"Qingjiu, why don't you understand?" King Gao Mi laughed angrily, "The Meng family has not been eliminated, let's change the prince now, isn't it self-defeating?!You only look at the Meng family's side, Gao Chengxuan is such an outstanding disciple, if you say that it will be ruined, you think the Gao family really swallows this breath?! Do you think Wu'anhou is not distressed?!Why did it not end in the end, and even Miss Meng Wu and his wife were sent back to Jiangnan?"

"In the final analysis, I am afraid that things will make a big fuss, and give us a chance to take advantage of it!"

"No matter how good Mi Zhen is, it is not good enough to influence the situation on the opposite side of the confrontation between us and the Meng Clan!"

"If he is really so powerful, there is no need for you to give him the position of the prince!"

"Therefore, the position of the son of this world, you sit with my heart and mind, and I will never mention it to anyone again!"

"Otherwise, Mi Zhen hasn't put forward the idea of beating you yet, but there is a lot of people's hearts floating underneath...... How can you fight with the Meng Clan?!"

He talked bitterly for a long time, and when he saw that Rong Qingchu was still frowning, he continued patiently, "I have already told Mi Zhen that he will go to the western frontier, and you will go to the coast. He will ask those people on Tortoiseshell Island to cooperate with you to recruit bandits, but he wants seventy percent of the wealth you get from the sea!"

"It's a mess in the western Xinjiang at all, but the third brother of the Zhao'an bandits has a natural advantage. "Rong Qingchu is kind-hearted, he originally felt that his brother had been living abroad for many years and had suffered a lot, and he should be the eldest brother to let go, and then listen to King Gaomi's obvious suppression of Rong Sleeping Crane, and even it can be said that he held Rong Sleeping Crane to set up a platform for his son, I felt unacceptable," and it can be seen from Tortoiseshell Island that the brave people among the bandits can be recruited for their own use, and their accumulated wealth is also very considerable...... Father, you are doing this, although it is for the sake of the child, but it will make the third brother very disappointed in the palace!"

"In this way, father and son are separated from brothers, and they are a good family...... Not to mention how to explain to the mother's side?!"

King Gaomi stared at him for a long time before he sighed and said, "You can rest assured about this! Mi Zhen was very satisfied with this result. ”

Rong Qingchu didn't believe it: "Father, the third brother hasn't been back for a long time, and the estrangement between him and us hasn't gone away, and he occasionally acts and talks to Meng Lang, how can we care about him?

"Qingjiu, you are really ...... It's really honest to call me a father who has nothing to say!" King Gaomi sneered when he heard this, "Do you think that Mi Zhen can still return to Chang'an in a beautiful way when he falls into the bandits' den, and it is a fuel-efficient lamp?!"

Seeing that Rong Qingchu looked ignorant, he closed his eyes and calmed down before continuing to explain, "Mizhen's wedding is very grand, and the dowry of your brother and daughter-in-law, and the sensation caused by the dowry given by our family, are enough to talk up and down Chang'an City for dozens or even hundreds of years. Especially your brother's daughter-in-law's dowry, and the fact that she was so favored that she alarmed the three powerful families of Nanfeng County to go to Chang'an to give her a dowry...... Do you think these things are really just as simple as the Sheng family is the pearl of the three families?"

"This is Mi Zhen taking advantage of the situation to pave the way for herself!"

"First of all, he is famous, although he almost won six yuan before, and he is very famous in the whole country, but Xiucai has not rebelled for three years, if he wants to fight the idea of military power, the champion is not easy to learn. ”

"But the army may not recognize the name, but it may not recognize the name of wealth!"

To put it mildly, it seems that Sheng Shixiong, who does not let the rich man do nothing, and wants to serve the country with a single heart, has always been a minority. Most people still know etiquette in a real way. ”

"Especially in the western Xinjiang, the empty salary is very bad, although the upper class is full of private pockets, but the people below have been poor and sick for a long time. And everyone knows that the imperial court has been focusing on the northern frontier in recent years, and it is impossible for the treasury to allocate too much money to them!

"And after Mi Zhen went to the Western Xinjiang, what she needed to fight for was originally the people at the bottom, as for the upper class...... If he doesn't send out all those upper echelons, how can he make room for his descendants, that is, the people of Tortoiseshell Island?!"

"Another advantage of being rich and famous is to attract customers, although the dynasty has the promotion road of the imperial examination, but there are always accidents. Since ancient times, there have never been fewer people who are full of talent and learning, who have hidden splendid treasures but have repeatedly failed to succeed!"

"These people don't want to be anonymous, they can only be staffed by others...... For example, the gentlemen who gave you lectures were well-educated people who had worked so hard to recruit for my father. ”

"Originally, Mi Zhen was young, even if she had passed the champion exam and was crowned the king of the county, in the eyes of those really scheming strategists, the weight of qualifications was not enough. ”

"But if he does this family business, I am afraid that as the businessmen from the south and the north spread the news, the whole country will know his reputation...... Who wouldn't be amazed by his experience on the scene?"

"In this way, even if there is no strategist who takes the initiative to take refuge, when he comes to solicit him, the chances are increased by 30%!"

"After all, for those who are self-conscious, visitors who have never heard of it will waste time and lose their reputation when they see it!"

"The second is to distract Meng's attention!"

"He has talent and money, and the mess of the Western Xinjiang Army is not difficult for him, the most difficult thing is time...... His father has been confronting the Meng clan for a long time, what about him? He hasn't been to the Western Frontier until now!"

"Meng Shi didn't know that he was separated from him for his father, so he must think that his going to the Western Xinjiang was arranged for his father, how could he not want to stumble on him by all means?"

"And even if he is also an expert in intrigue, he is impatient to spend too much energy on this, no, he will throw the pirates of the seven seas to the Meng ......"

When King Gaomi said this, his tone was mixed with a moment of bitterness, "And let's fight for it in exchange for our temporary lack of time to take care of him?!"

What made King Gaomi's heart stop the most was, "This is a conspiracy, so upright that even if both his father and the Meng family can see his thoughts, they can't give up the wealth of the seven seas! After all, let's know the history of the Sheng family's fortune after a little investigation: they are developed by selling stolen goods to Tortoiseshell Island, not only developed, but also forcibly changed the pattern of the Feng family and the Xuan Yu family in Nanfeng County to divide the world equally, and made the two powerful families into three powerful families!"

"In the past, we only thought that in a small place like Nanfeng County, what two big and three big, they were just some rural rich people!"

"But this time, the Sheng family's dowry is not an exaggeration to describe it as 'rich and rivaling the country', compared to our family's million-dollar dowry, it is simply shabby! Since we know that the profits at sea are so huge, and the family background of those pirates is so rich...... Do you think we can still spare the bandits of the Seven Seas?"

No one is going to have trouble with money.

Even the powerful clans that live in the temple are no exception.

After all, although money is not everything, but in most things in this world, no money is absolutely impossible!

Not to mention that even if King Gaomi and the Meng clan themselves could not be blinded by Qian Silk and pay more attention to authority, the people who took refuge in them may not all have such determination!

As the saying goes, thousands of miles of officials are only for money, what are they trying to stand in?

There may be people who want to protect themselves, but most of them are still trying to benefit.

As long as most people are interested in the wealth of the Seven Seas, King Gaomi and the Meng Clan can't help but consider the opinions of the people. In the end, they still need the support of these people.

"In this way, since we are fighting with the Meng clan in the Seven Seas, how much effort do we have to manage the Western Frontier?"

Even if you do, you will definitely not have much attention and manpower to separate.

For Rong Sleeping Crane, it's a good thing.

The best thing is that he also used the condition of cooperating with Rong Qing to recruit An Hai bandits, forcing King Gaomi to promise to hand over seventy percent of Qihai's income to him!

Seventy out of !!

King Gaomi estimated the number slightly, and he felt a dizzy urge.

To be honest, he had the idea of killing Rong Sleeping Crane on the spot!

Helplessly, Rong Sleeping Crane insisted on this condition and did not let go, and even threatened in turn when King Gaomi decided to break up: "It's okay if the prince doesn't want me to help, but with Gongsun's connections in the Seven Seas, it's much easier to help than to help......! The prince's hard work is not only in vain, but also humiliates the prince, right?"

Gao Mi scolded angrily: "You are also the heir of the lonely and the younger brother of the son! If the son of the world is ashamed of laughing, what do you think will do you any good?"

As a result, he was speechless by Rong Sleeping Crane's words: "When the time comes, the prince's right-hand man will see that the prince really can't help him, and he will think that I am all good." After all, I'm also the heir of the prince and the younger brother of the prince, aren't I?"

He also said, "And what Nanami has given me is the foundation to ensure that I will do my best to help the prince! After all, the more recruits I get, the more I will gain, otherwise I will get a few small bandits to perfunctory the world...... What can the prince do?"

What can King Gaomi do?

This is his own son, he doesn't like it or not, and it is impossible to calculate to death like an outsider.

What's more, the princess is still there, the princess sees that this son is more important than her own life at this time, and King Gaomi is afraid of stimulating the princess, and she is already tied up when she is intriguing with Rong Sleeping Crane;

If it weren't for the opinions of Sheng Weiqiao and the Yue family, it is estimated that Rong Sleeping Crane's attitude would be even more severe!

Even if the city is not shallow, King Gaomi has to give him step by step.

The most important thing is that the talent of the prince Rong Qingchu is really not good, even if King Gaomi decides to send his best and most trusted advisor to the prince on this trip, considering that the Meng family will not let go of this good opportunity to collect money and recruit people, for the sake of safety, he can only ask Rong Sleeping Crane for people.

Then you can only accept the blackmail of Rong Sleeping Crane.

After the whole negotiation, the only comfort for King Gaomi was probably that Rong Mianhe said that Princess Gaomi would settle it and promise not to let the princess come out to make trouble.

But when he explained to the prince at this time, he suddenly thought of something: "This bastard thing doesn't put loneliness at all, even if the princess spoils him in every way, but it has little effect...... He said that he promised to persuade the princess, should he leave the princess after making her angry?!"
