Dong Ruyi sighed, "Uncle Qing knows that there is a saying called rare confusion, and now that Ruyi is confused, why can't Uncle Qing turn a blind eye?"

King Qing said: "Is this the time for you to be confused? If you want to be confused, you will continue to be confused when the prince is decided." ”

Dong Ruyi said: "If the four princes ascend the throne as emperors, can Ruyi really continue to be confused?"

She looked at Xiao Ruide, "Why can't Cousin De be a prince if he is a talent?"

King Qing said solemnly: "This candidate for the prince has nothing to do with a talent? He is not a prince, and this prince's name is not right." ”

Dong Ruyi said: "Uncle Qing doesn't dare to agree with this, Cousin De is the crown prince canonized by the emperor's uncle, if this is not justified, then who is the crown prince who is justified?"

King Qing was choked, "You don't have to talk to this king Gu Zuo, don't you understand what this king said?"

Dong Ruyi picked up the tea bowl on the table and put it in front of King Qing, "Uncle Qing is angry, the fourth prince is really not suitable, his little ability is at most the last emperor." ”

King Qing said: "What you said, although the four princes are not satisfactory, there are Wei and Dong in the court to assist, and besides, isn't there still this king and you looking at the Great Zhou Dynasty." ”

Dong Ruyi said: "Uncle Qing is willing to take a step to speak?"

King Qing looked at Xiao Ruide, who was still reading the recital as before, as if the words of the two of them had nothing to do with him.

King Qing said in his heart: "It would be good if Rhett was from the imperial brother." ”

Dong Ru intended to walk out.

King Qing got up and walked out as well.

Xiao Ruide raised his head, "What is there that I can't hear?"

Dong Ruyi stood in the courtyard, and all the palace people outside the east study retreated.

King Qing said: "Do you have anything to say?"

Dong Ruyi said: "The faux pas is still to Uncle Qing Haihan." ”

King Qing said: "As long as you are willing to assist the four princes, this king will not be held accountable." ”

Dong Ruyi said: "I don't want to." She looked at King Qing and said categorically: "I don't want to assist the four princes." ”

King Qing said: "This king wants a reasonable explanation, don't tell this king that the four princes are incompetent." Although the Great Zhou has external troubles, there are no internal worries, with the current qualifications of the four princes, plus your assistance, he can completely defend the Great Zhou Dynasty. ”

Dong Ruyi said: "What if I don't want to assist?"

King Qing exclaimed, "What did you say?"

Dong Ruyi said: "Uncle Qing can't see what Cousin De has done? He can already take charge on his own, but if it is replaced by the fourth prince, does Uncle Qing think that the fourth prince will be better than the first prince?"

King Qing said: "The fourth prince may not do well, but you and I can teach him." ”

Dong Ruyi said: "Uncle Qing, why do you have to go near and far? Cousin De can do it alone, you have to let a group of people follow the four princes to do it." Of course, you may think that this is nothing, the courtiers are originally to share the worries of the monarch, but Ruyi is not willing to be one of those people. ”

King Qing said angrily: "After talking about it for a long time, why don't you understand? Even if the fourth prince is incompetent, it is only a trivial matter to deal with behind him." But if Red ascends the throne as emperor, how will the current princes settle down? If the environment is good, it will give them the opportunity to raise an army and rebel; if the environment is bad, how can they be worthy of Your Majesty?"

Dong Ruyi said: "Ruyi believes that Cousin De will handle these things well." ”

King Qing was furious, "Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, you are just for your own selfishness, if it is the fourth prince who has a good relationship with you, you will still decide like this?"

Dong Ruyi was also angry, "Uncle Qing is right, I chose Cousin De because I have a good relationship with him." But what's wrong with a good relationship, I don't choose a good relationship with me, can't I choose an enemy?"

Qing Wang is angry, and the four princes ascended the throne as the emperor of the Great Zhou for a maximum of 50 years. But if someone other than the prince ascends the throne as the emperor, fifty years later, it is entirely possible that the Xiao family will die on the descendants of the Xiao family.

Dong Ruyi no longer paid attention to King Qing, and she went back to the east study directly.

"I'm so angry, your father is a stubborn man. Dong Ruyi sat directly next to Xiao Ruide.

Xiao Ruide said: "What did you say to my father?"

"It's not right to say that you have a bad name for this throne. King Qing walked in angrily.

Dong Ruyi got up and said, "Uncle Qing, are you all over the place?"

Xiao Ruide also stood up, and he instantly understood why Dong Ruyi went out to say it. Dong Ruyi was afraid that the words they only saw would be too radical and hurt his self-esteem.

He, the crown prince, said it well, and he was favored by the emperor for his outstanding ability. It's hard to say that it depends on a woman to get to the top, and this woman is naturally Dong Ruyi, who is rich and rivals the country.

Xiao Ruide said: "Ruyi, are you afraid that I will be sad and sad because of your words, and I will not be the prince in a fit of anger, right?"

Dong Ruyi said: "Cousin, I ......"

Xiao Ruide thumped his chest, "Ruyi, I'm not so fragile here." He walked up to King Qing, "Father, I will not give up the position of crown prince, unless the imperial uncle deposes me." ”

Dong Ruyi stood beside Xiao Ruide, "Cousin De will not betray me for any reason, but the four princes are different, if he ascends the throne as emperor, he will marry me to Tibet in less than a year." ”

King Qing exclaimed: "This is impossible. ”

Dong Ruyi smiled, "Uncle Qing is willing to gamble with me?"

King Qing frowned, "This king doesn't have the time to mess around with you." ”

Dong Ruyi said: "The fourth prince is not a scheming person, if Uncle Qing wants to know his thoughts, there are thousands of ways to test it. I won't point fingers at this wishful thinking. ”

King Qing turned to leave, and before he went out of the door, he heard Xiao Ruide say: "Ruyi, just kiss the matter, I have made up my mind about this prince." He will never allow Dong Ruyi to marry Tubo like this.

King Qing returned defeated, and he also listened to today's conversation. He has to find an opportunity to test the four princes, if the four princes really intend to abolish King Zhou, then he really can't support the four princes unconditionally.

***

In Deming Palace, the four princes couldn't sit still. "Mother, we can't count on my aunt alone, Xiao Ruizhou and Xiao Ruide are the same dog, and it is impossible for her to help me. ”

Concubine De said: "I don't know what you said about the palace, but Your Majesty's words are there, and what we can do now is to let her be forced to support you under pressure from everywhere." ”

The fourth prince pounded the table, "Xiao Ruizhou, when I become the emperor, I will definitely make you look good." ”

Concubine De exclaimed: "What nonsense!" She hurriedly looked out, and when she saw that there was no one around, she was relieved.

"Mother, mother...... King Zhou is out of the East Study. The attendant of Deming Palace shouted as he ran.

Concubine De stood up directly, "Fourth prince, hurry." ”

When Concubine De and the four princes rushed to the east study, Dong Ruyi had not yet left.
