"What should I do next?" Xiao Tan endured some complicated thoughts in his heart and set his eyes on the eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Do more wrong, do less wrong, don't do good." Ye Xi resigned: "Before you understand the intentions of the prince, it is not appropriate to take drastic actions. ”

"But my grandfather wants me to get close to Liu Xingzhu, if I don't do anything, won't I disappoint the old man?" Xiao Tan has never felt that he has suffered from such gains and losses.

In the past, when he knew that his status in the hearts of the elders was not as good as Xiao Tan, although he would feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, he could basically face it calmly.

However, now that he has won the attention and expectations of his elders by his own strength, those unwillingness to be pressed by Xiao Yu under the halo are like maggots crawling all over his body and soul. Now as long as someone mentions that he is not as good as Xiao Yu, he will be inexplicably irritable, and once the expectations of the elders are realized, he feels that what he thought he didn't care about was actually more important than anyone else. It's just that he thought he couldn't get it, so he gave up. But now that the opportunity is in front of you, and you can confront the person who has been pressing you down, or even win, that feeling of imminence will begin to be irrepressible, like a towering tree growing endlessly.

Ye Xici can understand this mentality, so he deliberately drew out Xiao Tan's thoughts.

For Xiao Tan and Xiao Yu, although their status is prominent and their status is noble, they may not be able to develop as they want.

The elders at the top are pressing too tightly, and the people below are just doing things by relying on the orders of the above, without seeing the world in person and without their own unique thoughts. In addition to the cruel competition, it is to deceive you to the death.

In Ye Xici's heart, these people are more like women competing for favor in the backyard, and all the intrigues and tricks are just petty fights. As long as it is designed according to their personalities, it is easy to invite them all into the urn and stew them all in one pot.

For example, Xiao Tan, although he is brilliant in writing and has also received the attention of the civilian bureaucracy, in the final analysis, he has no real experience in politics, and what he gets is just flashy 'glory'.

Assuming that Xiao Tan is not the grandson of King Yun, then even if his literary talent is outstanding, it will be difficult to attract the attention of the civil official group.

It is precisely because everyone thinks that after the death of the old emperor, the throne belongs to either King Yun or King Meng, so these people will set their eyes on Xiao Tan and Xiao Yu, and their purpose is just to invest in advance.

And at Xiao Tan's age, he has not even gotten the consent of King Yun to participate in major events, and King Meng's attitude towards his grandson is enough to prove that in fact, King Yun's personality is the closest to the old emperor.

Arbitrary, authoritarian.

He likes to control everything in his hands, so that his sons and grandsons will not have room to play their talents.

It is said that at Xiao Tan's age, if he is placed in Dacheng, he will definitely have a lot of strength, and he can also participate in the discussion of family and country affairs with his elders, and even if he leads troops to fight, he can now get back a large stack of military merits, and he is ready to take over more power.

But in the Great Zhou, this group of princes and grandsons are still fighting over some trivial things.

Such a situation as the Great Zhou can only be implemented under certain circumstances. For example, the people of the royal family are highly skilled in martial arts, and they can suppress most rebellions with their skills. At the same time, they live a long time, so that those who can keep their heads down dare not make times.

But there are also huge drawbacks.

If any emperor died suddenly, this would definitely be a catastrophic infighting for the Great Zhou.

Ye Xici helped Xiao Tan in order to elicit his ambitions. And this kind of help must not be done properly for him, it must be up to him to think about solving part of it, you can only guide him and give him hints, so that he can not realize that he has actually stepped into the trap of others step by step from the beginning.

"But if you misunderstand what the prince means and do the wrong thing, you will have no chance to turn over." Ye Xici reminded.

Xiao Tan was in a dilemma.

In fact, he grew up so little, and was ordered by his grandfather to do certain things, so that he was not cultivated to be truly calm when encountering problems.

Hoping to be praised, acknowledged, and expected by King Yun, such a mood covered his eyes, so he hesitated and asked Ye Xi to resign to help him make up his mind.

And with Ye Xici's identity, it is destined to be impossible to really help him.

"Ye Ci, from your point of view, what does grandfather mean by mentioning Liu Xingzhu? Grandfather, what does he want me to do? Xiao Tan frowned and pinched the bridge of his nose, wanting to see through King Yun's thoughts.

"The prince has a deep mind, and it is difficult for outsiders to see through it easily." Ye Xici shook his head, and said, "If you don't understand, why don't you kick this problem to someone else." As far as I know, Xiao Yu, like the one in the Meng Wang family, is a little interested in this Liu Xingzhu. ”

He wasn't interested in Liu Xingzhu, he knew that Liu Xingzhu had a good relationship with that kid from the Mengwang family, so he deliberately opposed him and responded to him. In fact, Xiao Yu has never disdained women, he thinks that women are just a constituent on the road of men's struggle for power. It can be pampered, it can be used, but it is not loved. He never loved anyone. Xiao Tan said in a deep voice.

Although Xiao Tan and Xiao Yu are not all the way in terms of mentality towards women, Xiao Tan also has to admit that people who have no feelings will not be influenced by others at will when they do things and speak, and can analyze themselves more rationally and solve problems more rationally.

Ye Xici also thinks so. But he also knows that such people are almost more instinctive. Therefore, when Liu Xingzhu seduced him, he would easily be fascinated by Zizhuxiang, and he was attracted by Liu Xingzhu's charm, and almost fell in love with Liu Xingzhu's way.

"It doesn't matter what he approached Liu Xingzhu for, the important thing is that if he really got Liu Xingzhu, he could slap King Meng's mansion in the face. Even if it is to please the prince, I am afraid he will not really give up this opportunity. Ye Xici said with a smile.

"But if he really gets a head start, what will grandfather think of me?" Xiao Tan hesitated a little and said: "Grandfather gave me a hint, I'm afraid it's just to test me, if I can't do anything, but let Xiao Yu get good, grandfather will definitely be disappointed in me." ”

Ye Xici had already considered this and said, "Since the prince may be secretly observing your every move, then, as long as the matter is done, the prince will not be disappointed in you." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Tan suddenly came to his senses.

"If the prince really means to ask you to get Liu Xingzhu to slap the face of the Mengwang Mansion, then no matter who does it in whose hands, it will be a great achievement for your Yunwang Mansion. You only need to stimulate Xiao Yu to do this, but you leave clues, and when you ask the prince to investigate, you can find out that you are secretly planning this matter. Then, this matter is successful, Xiao Yu is certainly meritorious, but he was used by you as a pawn, and the prince will not ignore your credit, but thinks that you think long-term, witty and resolute. If Xiao Yu fails, or we misunderstand the prince's intentions, this black cauldron will be carried by Xiao Yu, and even if the prince knows that you are planning Xiao Yu to do this behind your back, the prince will think that you are very smart and know how not to dirty your hands and kill people with a knife. Ye Xici smiled and looked at Xiao Tan, who was shining in front of him, and said: "As long as you do it beautifully, no matter whether you succeed or fail in the end, the prince will not be disappointed in you in the end, and you will still have a way out." ”

Ye Xici knew very well that this kind of idea had to be put in the rules of the 'conspiracy theory supremacy' game of the Xiao family of the Great Zhou Imperial Family in order to be able to eat it.

If it were him, whether he was a reckoning or a reckoning, he would be punished if he failed. But in the hands of the Xiao family, I don't dare to say that I won't be punished, but being able to reflect the means is the most important thing, and the outcome of the matter is not as important as imagined.

King Yun and King Meng fought with each other and slapped each other in the face, you stepped on me, I stepped on you, it has not been a day or two, but decades. Even if Liu Xingzhu's matter fails this time, King Yun probably won't be punished too heavily, but he will be a little disappointed in the people who do things, but it won't affect the overall situation. However, if in the midst of this, let King Yun see which of these two grandsons has more means, King Yun's heart will definitely tilt towards the one with more means.

Ye Xici just figured out their old Xiao family's set of rules of conduct before he said this.

Although Xiao Tan has never seen the outside world, he knows some of the codes of conduct of his old Xiao family. Ye Xi said this, and he immediately realized that it was definitely feasible. The problem is only how to stimulate Xiao Yu, and then unknowingly leave clues for his grandfather, proving that he is behind the scenes.

When it comes to this issue, Ye Xici is silent.

It's not that he doesn't know how to do it, but he wants to give Xiao Tan time to think for himself.

The answers to all the questions were placed in front of him, which of course made Xiao Tan rely on him, but after this kind of thing lasted for a long time, it was easy for Xiao Tan to reflect Ye Xici's intentions. Even if he didn't suspect Ye Xici's intentions in approaching him, he might be jealous of someone who was so much smarter than him.

Since ancient times, what is the reason why many generals have died? Most of them are because of the high merit. This thing is actually the same for Wenchen.

Xiao Tan's martial arts talent is very poor, but he has outstanding literary talents, and it has become a habit to be praised by others, you suddenly pop out and act smarter than him and smarter than him, and use what he is best at to slap him in the face, how do you say he will feel?

He may be able to endure you when he still needs to use you, but he may be cranky afterwards. This thought inevitably exposes many problems that may not be a problem at first glance, but will find many problems when you think about it carefully. This is not what Ye Xici wants to see.

What Ye Xici is doing now is like a teacher. He has all the answers to the answer paper in his hand and also has the ability to cheat for students who are taking exams. However, instead of directly putting the answer in front of his eyes and asking him to copy it directly from the book, there is absolutely no sense of accomplishment that you have helped him mark the key points, give him the idea of doing the question, and then make the answer himself.

Xiao Tan was immersed in thinking about how to calculate Xiao Yu, and he didn't stay long before leaving home. Before leaving, he didn't forget to hook up with Ye Xici to express his gratitude. After saying a bunch of empty words such as 'if there is that day, I will not forget the favor', Xiao Tan left the inn and returned to the palace.

He also needs to discuss the feasibility of this with his real staff.

It's just that after Xiao Tan left, Ye Xici did not relax. It wasn't long before there was a knock on the door to his room.

Ye Xici called 'come in', and then a person dressed as a shopkeeper walked in with a pot of wine and two side dishes. After entering the door, he also took the door with him.

"Guest, your food." The shopkeeper seemed to deliberately lower his voice and said.

"I haven't ordered food or drink." Ye Xi looked at the shopkeeper with a smile, and the shopkeeper couldn't calm down anymore, so he had no choice but to take off his headscarf, raise his eyes, put the wine and food on the table, and then he himself sat down and said, "I invited Ye Gongzi to eat." ”

"There is no reason for pie in vain in the sky, since you are here, there must be a reason, I wonder if I am lucky enough to listen to it?" Ye Xici was not surprised by the arrival of this man. It should be said that to be surprised, it was already the moment of surprise at the beginning, and at this moment there was only calmness.

"I didn't have anyone assassinate you." I didn't know that as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he said this.

Ye Xici didn't speak, only glanced at him with distrust.

"You may not believe what I say, but every word I say will never be false, otherwise I will be thundered by heaven and thunder, and I will live forever and eternally, and I will not have anything to do with that seat." The person who came looked at Ye Xici's eyes very seriously and even seriously, and solemnly swore an oath and curse.

"It's a vicious curse, so I can't believe it." Ye Xici was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Since you said that it was not you who assassinated me in the first place, who could it be?" ”

"Since my good brother directed and acted by himself." The eyes of the visitors were full of coldness.

"Self-directed? For what? Ye Xici just shook his head and chuckled.

The person who came looked at Ye Xici's eyes seriously and said, "Although I don't like my younger brother, I have to admit that his vision is sharp." He must have seen that Mr. was so talented, and in order to tie him to his boat, he had such a show. In this way, not only can I please my husband look at me differently, but I can also make my husband hate me, and I will never be used for it again. ”

"In this way, you are here today to persuade me to defect and give you advice?" Ye Xici smiled with interest.

"Yes, yes. I wonder if my husband would be willing to make me a friend? The person who came looked at him sincerely and said: "What Xiao Tan can give to Mr., I can give Xiao Yu the same, and I can give more." As long as my husband is willing to serve me, whatever he wants, I am willing to do my best to get it for him. ”

"Really?" Ye Xi's eyes narrowed.

"Seriously." Xiao Yu was categorical. (To be continued.) )
