Seeing that Rong Sleeping Crane bowed his head slightly, he motioned for himself to continue, Yuan Liuguang did not go around in circles, and said straightforwardly: "The ancestor Huaiyuan Zhuang Marquis, thanks to the love of the first emperor, was one of the important ministers of the previous dynasty. ”

Moreover, he is one of the very few important ministers who oppose the establishment of a successor and advocate the establishment of virtue. ”

"The first emperor was critically ill back then, and his son was only seventeen today, and his father-in-law was fifteen. Many of the relics left by the first emperor and his father-in-law were handed over to the first father. ”

"My father was entrusted by the emperor and did not dare to slack off. ”

"Although after the first emperor went, he ascended the throne today, and Duke Huan gained power and was very exclusive to his father-in-law, but his father still did his best to support and cultivate his father-in-law. ”

"Yuan Mou told the truth, if there was no Duke Huan, there would be no Meng and Jinshang, then there would be no father-in-law today. ”

Even the reason why my father died early in the prime of life was not unrelated to his exhaustion. ”

Of course, when Yuan said this, he didn't have any opinion on his father-in-law. ”

"After all, it is the duty of a courtier to eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king. ”

"When the father went, Yuan knelt in front of the sickbed to listen to the teachings, and the father once quoted the ancients to say, 'People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao', and encouraged Yuan not to forget the trust and trust of the first emperor to my Yuan family, and to continue to assist his father-in-law. ”

Yuan Liuguang's expression was very calm when he said this, and there was really no resentment in his eyes, and he said, "What happened later, the king of the county should know, Yuan married Qingfang, and has been working for his father-in-law so far." It's a pity that Yuan's qualifications are mediocre, and he can't bear the orders of his father, and he has not been able to assist his father-in-law to replace the faint monarch and reign over the world!"

He sighed, "Yuan, although people are not prosperous, they don't dare to disgrace the reputation of their ancestors because of this. Therefore, if his father-in-law falls short in the future, then there is nothing to say!"

"But, if the father-in-law practices Zuo one day......"

Yuan Streamer said lightly, "Yuan is very worried about his own door!"

Rong Sleepy Crane smiled and said: "On selfishness, Hou Ye is the husband of the prince's beloved daughter, and Ling Zun also has great merit to the prince; If the Meng clan wins, the Hou Ye will be full of wings and it will be impossible to escape! But if the prince wins, how can he be disadvantaged by the Hou Ye?"

"The king of the county is the beloved son of his father-in-law, and he is closer to his father-in-law than Yuan. When Yuan Liuguang heard this, he also smiled, his smile was complicated, "Although you have been exiled for fifteen years, but you have recently returned, not only is your mother-in-law infinitely fond of you, but your father-in-law has not done everything possible for you and the Meng family to strive for the title of county king?"

"But...... Why is the king of the county lukewarm to the royal palace, and today in Shanglin Yuan, he is even more disobedient to his father-in-law in public?"

Without waiting for the sleeping crane to answer, he had already said to himself, "Ordinary people may think that the king of the county is out of exile for many years and is very unfamiliar with the palace, or the king of the county has a grudge against the palace for the sake of his own exile. ”

"But in Yuan's view, these two situations may exist, but they are not necessarily the most important!"

"The most important ...... It's mediocrity!"

Rong Sleeping Crane smiled indifferently and said, "Go on!"

"In fact, this situation is very similar to the dispute between the princes during the time of the first emperor, but the father-in-law has not yet ascended the throne, so many people's eyes are focused on how to assist the father-in-law to defeat the Meng family, and they haven't thought about what happened after the father-in-law inherited the throne!" Yuan Liuguang said for a long time, his mouth was a little dry, and he took a sip of the tea that Yishan had made for a while in front of him before continuing, "Father-in-law has three sons under his knees, and Rong Qingdrunk doesn't need to be considered. ”

"Before the return of the king, the son was the only heir to his father-in-law. ”

"To be honest, the son of the world is loyal and loyal to his father-in-law, especially his mother-in-law, can be described as very filial. ”

"As far as conduct is concerned, there is nothing wrong with the son. ”

"The problem is, he's just a middle-class person. ”

"If you just want to be the prince of the king, it is actually the most suitable and the least dangerous. ”

"Because of good conduct, he will not make mistakes easily, but will have all kinds of good reputations, and his ability is not high, so that the Son of Heaven and his important ministers can rest assured that they can easily enjoy preferential treatment. ”

"But if you become a prince......"

"Alas, the root cause is that the first emperor failed to succeed in Yichu during his lifetime, resulting in his father-in-law is still only a prince!"

"If the first emperor passed the throne to his father-in-law as he wished, then the son of the world would be mediocre, as long as it was not mediocre to the point of mediocrity, it would not hurt. ”

"After all, he is the eldest son, and it is natural to inherit his father-in-law's legacy!"

"But it's ...... Everyone knows that his father-in-law is the first emperor's preferred candidate for the prince, so he has been fighting with the Meng family for many years. ”

"In this case, no matter how the father-in-law ascended the throne, in the eyes of some people afterwards, it will be difficult to escape the impression of 'not being in the right position'. ”

Of course, with the ability of my father-in-law, as long as I practice Zuo, there is no pressure to suppress such doubts. ”

"But my father-in-law is half a hundred now......"

"As a candidate for the heir of his father-in-law, the performance of the son over the years has ...... I can't help but be scared!"

Yuan Liuguang's originally calm face revealed a little bitterness, "Shizi, he simply doesn't have enough ability to subdue the ministers, let alone distinguish whether the advice of the people around him is good or bad...... Not to mention governing the country and suppressing those with bad intentions!"

"But the father-in-law has only a few sons, and in the previous dynasty, the founding emperor Taizu passed on the throne to the eldest grandson of the emperor due to the early death of the eldest son, and as a result, the eldest grandson of the emperor was taken the throne by his uncle within a few years. Therefore, there was no such thing as the succession of emperors and grandsons...... Especially the grandchildren under the father-in-law's knees, the oldest is only six years old!"

"So if it weren't for the return of the king of the county, if the father-in-law was the emperor, the prince would definitely be the son. ”

"Then, at this moment, as the king of the county said, as the right-hand man of his father-in-law, Yuan Mou and others have to think about the matter of hiding the bird's bow!"

"Especially the situation of Yuan and the Zhao family is not the same, the two uncles of the Zhao family are not only the elders of the son, but also the same generation as the father-in-law. But Yuan is one year older than the son of the world, not to mention his peers. To put it mildly, Yuan didn't think that after his father-in-law became emperor, he would let Yuan go before he died. ”

He said calmly, "So when I heard that the king of the county was found, the joy in Yuan's heart was only afraid that he was not under his mother-in-law!"

"Then have you ever thought that there is still a possibility?" Rong Sleeping Crane heard this, and said slowly, "Since the prince is mediocre and can't suppress the ministers, as a brother-in-law, maybe you will have the opportunity to be an auxiliary minister in the future?"

Yuan Liuguang nodded calmly: "Yuan Mou has indeed thought about this possibility! However, those who make good use of soldiers do not worry about victory and defeat first." Although Yuan is not good at soldiers, the truth of the world has something in common. If the father-in-law chooses Yuan to assist in the future, although he can't ask for it, Yuan is not willing to follow his father's example and fulfill his duties. However, the world is unpredictable, once the father-in-law became suspicious of Yuan, he was determined to eradicate Yuan for the son...... To tell the truth, Yuan is not a person who is afraid of death, otherwise after his father and mother left, Yuan would have returned to his hometown under the pretext of keeping filial piety and never returned! ”

"But Yuan Mou is unforgettable for the words of his ancestors quoted by his father before his death, 'People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao'. ”

"In order to inherit the will of the ancestors, Yuan is willing, and in order to fulfill his duties and die, Yuan is also willing!"

"But if you die because of the incompetence of the prince......"

A touch of tranquility appeared on his handsome face, and he said word by word, "Yuan is absolutely unwilling!"

Speaking of this, seeing Rong Sleeping Crane looking at him calmly, Yuan Liuguang calmed down, slowed down his tone, and said, "Yuan thought that the king of the county also thought so. ”

Rong Sleeping Crane smiled: "Oh?"

"Otherwise, why is the county king unwilling to get close to the Gaomi Palace?" Yuan Liuguang said with confidence, "The county king is long and phoenix, and his show is outstanding. If it is the eldest son of the father-in-law, what else do these people have to worry about? The problem is that the king of the county is only the third son, or rather, the youngest son. Moreover, the county king did not grow up in front of his father-in-law, as far as Yuan saw today, his father-in-law was still very estranged from the county king. As for the reason, Yuan had heard one or two from the county lord, and to be honest, this kind of thing is helpless. ”

"So even if the king of the county admires his father-in-law and mother-in-law very much, not to mention his mother-in-law, at least in front of his father-in-law, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the end of being suppressed after all. ”

"Because you are now crowned, and you are in the prime of life. ”

"On talent, on talent, on talent, and now it is well-known in the whole country...... You are better than the son of the world!"

"If you get along well with your father-in-law and mother-in-law at this time, you will have to help your father-in-law in the next court fight. If you don't help, it's not filial. If you help, it's just to make a wedding dress for the son. ”

"After all, my father-in-law doesn't have it, at least for now, he doesn't have the idea of easy storage. ”

"According to Yuan's father-in-law's understanding of his father-in-law for more than ten years...... I'm afraid there won't be one in the future. ”

"In this regard, in fact, my father-in-law is a bit similar to the first emperor. ”

"The first emperor wanted to establish the king of Guangling first, and then wanted to establish his father-in-law, the reason was that it was useless today. Now it seems that Imagami is indeed not a Ming Jun, but judging from the situation of the three princes at that time, the performance of my father-in-law is indeed better than that of Imagami. But this gap doesn't mean much at all. ”

"Because at that time, Concubine Mo's imperial favor was incomparable to the Queen Mother. ”

Therefore, the teachers that Concubine Mo was able to invite for her father-in-law, and the knowledge and cultivation she provided were beyond the reach of the Queen Mother. ”

"Not to mention that my father-in-law still has the opportunity to be taken by the first emperor to teach and remind him from time to time, but now the first emperor doesn't even want to see it. ”

"As for King Guangling, a child who is not yet ten years old, what can he see?"

"Say something disrespectful to the first emperor: throughout the ages, there are indeed people who can judge a person's future from a young age, but judging from the life of the first emperor, the first emperor may not have such vision. ”

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for the first emperor to be persuaded by Duke Huan. ”

Therefore, the reason why the first emperor refused to choose Jinshang at that time was nothing more than because the biological mother of Jinshang, Empress Dowager Meng, was ordinary, far inferior to Concubine Mo and Concubine Rou. ”

"At that time, the first emperor claimed to be a meritocrat, but in fact, he was a prince with love. ”

"And the father-in-law ......"

"Actually, it's the same temperament. ”

"He will not give up getting along day and night and is filial and loyal, and you will be the king of the county!"

"Even, in order to prevent the county king from being too good and being unfavorable to the prince in the future, while using you, I have to suppress you!"

"In that case, why should the county king have to be false with his father-in-law and others? It's better not to be close from the beginning, but to act more freely!"

"After all, I have never been close to my father-in-law, and he has conflicts every day, and there is a cover of fifteen years of separation;

"Although it is said that there have been inseparable relatives since ancient times, but Yuan Mou has the courage to say here, when discussing the matter of King Guangling in Shanglin Yuan today, in fact, my father-in-law has already revealed the idea of restraining you. ”

"And Yuan Mou originally planned to persuade you to replace the prince, but now seeing that you are so familiar with Northern Xinjiang, I know that I didn't see the wrong person, and even underestimated your vision and strength. ”

Yuan Liuguang said, got up and left his seat, lifted the corners of his robe, and solemnly bowed down in front of Rong Sleeping Crane, "Please also ask the king of the county to give Yuan a chance to serve the dogs and horses!"
