Feng Wushi was a minister in the previous dynasty, and he knew the importance of a benevolent monarch, but sometimes he had to do something out of the ordinary in order to win over the minister, the queen's birthday was luxurious and rich, and it seemed to be a phoenix pet, but in fact it gave the Liu family enough face, he sat on this dragon chair for more than 20 years, only the prince's faction and the flawed king reached the momentum of confrontation, and his throne could sit longer, the emperor's family, sometimes it was so ruthless.

Even after Qingcheng returned home, he understood the Tao of this thoroughly, however, it was not necessarily the safest for the emperor to let the two forces confront each other.

As soon as she got up that day, Shui Lingyu came in with water to serve her to wash her face, and after getting dressed, Long Bo knocked on her door.

"Third prince, there is a holy decree in the palace, and the prince orders you to go to the front hall quickly."

Divine decree?

She frowned and hesitated, then quickly got dressed and hurried out.

Dad and eldest brother were already kneeling on the ground, and she glanced at the person who announced the decree, which was actually the emperor's personal eunuch Gao Gonggong.

Lian Qingliu's eyes motioned for her to kneel over, with a hint of worry in her eyes, just after the queen's birthday, the palace issued a holy decree, in the past, the decree had nothing to do with Cheng'er, but today Gao Gonggong insisted on letting her come over, this qiē happened too suddenly, making him feel deeply uneasy.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, even the prince's third son Lian Qingcheng is talented, I appreciate it very much, today's royal school horse race, ordered it to be with the son of Lian Qingliu."

After Gao Gonggong finished announcing it loudly, he closed the holy decree and handed it to Lian Chucheng.

And even Qingcheng's brain has been in chaos, the royal school is the place where the emperor's personal guards are trained, and all the princes and ministers and concubines have one day a month to race horses and arrows here, in the past, the eldest brother went alone, how could the emperor personally issue a holy decree to let her participate in the same way?

"Daddy"

Lian Qingliu shouted in a deep voice, and was interrupted by Lian Chucheng before he could speak, "Since the holy will is below, Cheng'er should go back and prepare quickly." ”

"No need, lord, the old slave has already been taken care of, the time is urgent, the prince and the third prince are better to leave now, let the emperor wait in a hurry, and the old slave is not easy to explain."

Grandpa Gao laughed, with a full shocked tone.

"Yes".

Lian Qingcheng responded in a low voice, and when he saw that the eldest brother moved his lower lip flap and wanted to say something, he hurriedly pulled his sleeve lightly to stop it.

The sound of military training in the school field was loud and loud, and she sat on her horse and watched the dust and sand floating in front of her and the stabbing sound of weapons colliding together, and her thin lips pursed again.

In ancient times, in order to stabilize the country, the king would often secretly cultivate a well-trained elite army, on the one hand, to protect his own safety, and the more important role was to deter the ministers of Kyoto, but she really couldn't guess what the emperor meant by calling herself, the number of talented people in the entire Kyoto City was countless, is it just because she is the heir of the Lian family?

A soldier ran over and grabbed the reins, and when she saw the horse stop, she turned over and walked down after Lian Qingliu to the man sitting on the high platform.

"See the Emperor."

"Hehe, the son of the world is late today."

Feng Wushi stroked his beard and smiled lightly, and his dragon eyes turned to glance at Lian Qingcheng and said secretly: "The third prince was also cultivated by Prince Lian himself, in previous years, it was the prince of the world who won the chip, today you compete with these princes of mine, if you win, I will be rewarded." ”

She was shocked, and lowered her head with her palms together, "The princes are true dragons, they are talented, and the ministers are immoral and incompetent, how dare they compete with them." ”

"The third son's words are wrong, on the day of the queen's birthday, the third prince won the praise of his father with a picture of a dragon and phoenix, and the king thinks that no matter how good the painting is, it is not as good as yours, and the third prince is vain."

Feng Guifang looked at her and spoke softly, he sat on her upper right, the position happened to be opposite the prince, and Feng Guiyi sat on the right hand side of the prince with a bewitching face.

"I and Flawed have the same meaning."

Feng Wushi squinted and smiled, and the deep dragon eyes made Lian Qingcheng feel a trace of palpitations.

Since ancient times, the emperor's mind is the most difficult to guess, if he is favored today, he will be able to fall out of favor in the future, Princess Ronghua is not the best example, and if he can make the emperor trust, will he not encounter this kind of predicament in the future?

She sighed helplessly, and when she raised her head, she happened to collide with Feng Guixie's gaze, and the calmness under the raccoon eyes actually made her heart slowly settle down.

The crown prince Feng Guiyu has been doing a lot of sexual pleasure all year round, and he has long been a wasted body, and Feng Guiyu is evil, she is sure that with the queen's scheming, she will not let go of the slightest opportunity for him to replace Feng Guiyu, so the prince who participated in the competition was only Feng Guifang.

The first race was a horse race, and she went into the stable and picked a lean foal.

Seeing this, Feng Guibian sneered and said, "Even if the third prince has a heart of humility, isn't it too straightforward?" ”

"The flawed king is wrong, my brother doesn't often ride horses on weekdays, and his poor riding skills are a fact, and he doesn't have the heart to give in."

Lian Qingliu came over to explain in a timely manner, handed her the reins in his hand, and sneered: "This little foal is too thin to run half a lap, and it falls at the end, are you sincere to embarrass your father?" ”

"Big brother knows that I won't choose a horse, and now he still lets me ride it, if it weren't for the emperor's order, how dare I let the ministers see my father's jokes."

She sniffed, looking very aggrieved.

It seems that today's third prince, whether he rides or not, is destined to draw a dark color on the title of "God General on the Horse" of Lian Wangye. ”

Feng Gui is faint, and his eyebrows are slightly raised.

Lian Qingcheng put down the reins in his hand, looked at him calmly and did not speak.

Feng Guiyi sat in his seat and watched the situation here, his hand propped up on the chair against his chin, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, Feng Guifang didn't understand the temper of this jade-faced child, but he knew better than herself, what to say and what not to say, there must always be a measure, now, her anger is afraid that it has completely burned.

"Flawed King, what's the point of comparing things like this every month, why don't we change the way we play?"

She squinted her eyes and lowered her eyebrows, with an inexplicable smile on her lips.

"How do you compare?"

"Horse racing."

"What kind of rule is this?"

Feng Gui is puzzled, the horse can only win by the man, and the horse race horse can win.

"You and I both choose three horses in this stable, and if two of them run to the finish line first, this side wins, what does the King of Defects think?"

Lian Qingcheng asked in a loud voice, Feng Guibian pursed his lips and smiled: "The third prince is really getting more and more interesting, okay, just compare like this." ”

After changing the competition system, naturally there is no need to race horses together, and the entire school field has become a competition field for Lian Qingcheng and Feng Guifang.

Feng Wushi sat on the high platform and stared at Lian Qingcheng meaninglessly, she felt cold on her back and didn't dare to look back, trying to suppress the panic in her heart and waiting for the eldest brother to pick the horse.

After choosing a horse, she and Feng Guifang stood side by side but far away, seeing that those ministers and nobles were all around him, she turned her head extremely shamelessly and leaned in Lian Qingliu's ear and whispered: "How about the three horses that the eldest brother chose?" ”

"A mixed bag".

"What about the King of Defects?"

"Comparable".

Lian Qingliu replied truthfully, when he chose a horse, he saw that Feng Guifang was quite gentlemanly, even if he was selfish, he couldn't choose a fast horse.

"That's fine."

She nodded with a smile, feeling seven more points of chance of winning.

The stableman stood in the middle of the arena and raised the red flag in her hand, she glanced at it, and asked Lian Qingliu to lead the slowest horse up.

"No, the King of Defects uses fast horses, but we use slow horses, and the results are not obvious?"

"Brother Yin is familiar with the books of sages, but he doesn't know what it means to 'do the opposite'?"

She blinked and asked, even after a pause, she still didn't understand.

"Anyway, just listen to me."

She walked over and took the reins and led the horse to the arena, Feng Gui saw that she was leading an inferior horse, and smiled disdainfully, winning the game.

"The opposite? Interesting, interesting. ”

Feng Gui Xie said what she meant, pursed her lips and murmured, this time, Feng Gui was decided.

In the first competition, Lian Qingcheng lost, and in the second game, Feng Guifeng used a slightly inferior horse, but Qingcheng led the fast horse.

"She's actually a ploy."

When the two horses ran out, Feng Guifang had an epiphany.

The result was clear, in the second race she won in a row, and in the third race, she won the championship again with a slightly inferior horse.

"Good, good, really resourceful!"

Feng Wushi clapped his hands and praised, even Chu Cheng's son, this world is really rare for a thousand years.

"Thank you for the emperor's praise."

Qingcheng knelt down to thank him, and a layer of sweat had already appeared in his palms.

This time she was just a fluke, people in this world always have their own life patterns, and she just happened to take advantage of Feng Gui's flaws and ordinary people's shortcomings to win the competition.

"You deserve your name, I am not a false praise, even the prince's son, it is really not simple."

Feng Wushi just said it casually, but it shocked Lian Qingcheng and Lian Qingliu's hearts together, if the sentence just now was a compliment, and this sentence already contained a sense of jealousy.

"The Buddha often says that 'life in the world is like being in thorns, the heart does not move, people do not move, do not move, do not hurt', my father also often teaches us with this words, if the heart moves, people move vainly, hurt their bodies and hurt their bones, so they experience all kinds of pain in the world, Dad for the foundation of Dachang is a person who has gone through the ghost gate, he only hopes that we can have great ambitions to protect the country and protect the family, so that we can carefully cultivate, and look hard to the emperor Mingjian."

She said very sincerely, only hoping to arouse a trace of the emperor's old thoughts to dispel her suspicions about her father, and now she really guessed that if her father really chose a faction, it would be okay, and maintaining the middle would inevitably make the emperor wonder if he had the heart of rebellion.

"Grandpa".

Feng Guifang entered the study, saw a person sitting inside, paused in his footsteps, and then walked in slowly.

Nian Yingchuan sat on the chair with an old age, and when he saw him coming, he just responded lightly, and looked at him with a pair of eyes that had experienced vicissitudes.

"Today, I tried against Lian Qingcheng, and you lost."

"Yes".

Feng Guifang responded calmly, his eyes sincere.

"Hmph, even Chu Cheng's son can't compare, and he still thinks that he can submit to you, a fool's dream."

Nian Yingchuan exhaled a turbid breath in his mouth, and his face was angry.

Feng Gui is not half different, he knows in his heart that his grandfather is for his sake, when his father was called the emperor, his grandfather and Liu Muxian were afraid of Princess Ronghua's prestige in the folk to coerce his father in the Jinluan Palace, it was because of the death of Princess Ronghua, Feng Gui evil has no support, and it will not pose a threat, so many years Grandpa has been consolidating his power for him in the court, in order to one day defeat the Liu clan to help him ascend the throne, and now the most critical member is Lian Chucheng, the world knows that King Lian's most beloved son is the third son Lian Qingcheng, Today's competition, this Lian San Gongzi seems to be more difficult to deal with than Lian Qingliu, with him in the middle, Lian Chucheng is afraid that it will be more difficult to express his position, especially Lian Qingcheng said something like that to his father on the school ground, but this is not necessarily a bad thing for them.

"Even Chu Cheng will not return to us, and he will not go to Liu Xiang, not to mention, my father has begun to suspect Lian Chu Cheng now, and he will not dare to make any moves in private."

Nian Yingchuan listened, pondered for a long time, squinted his eyes and sneered: "The emperor can sit on the dragon chair now, if he doesn't have half a plan, I'm afraid he will be executed by the monarch of the previous dynasty more than 20 years ago, do you think he is really suspicious of Lian Chucheng?" ”

"What does Grandpa mean by that?"

"How capable is even Chu Cheng, the emperor only knows much better than me and Liu Muxian, when he was able to help the Feng family seize the throne, it was not easy to want this country, but in the end he wanted to be the general of the town and country to garrison the bitter cold place, ten years ago the emperor decreed to return the military power to let him return to Beijing, undoubtedly put him under house arrest in this Kyoto city, just because Lian Chucheng has a treasure in his hand that the emperor is afraid of, the emperor has always known that even Chu Cheng has no ambition to be the emperor at all, he really has the idea of fighting, I'm afraid I just want to see who first persuades Lian Chucheng between me and Liu Muxian, and then who will die. ”

Feng Guibian's heart sank, and he was shocked: "Then why does grandpa still strive for Lian Chu City?" ”

Nian Yingchuan sighed lightly, his eyes closed together like a sharp sword, "It's just because the things in his hands are too tempting, with it, not only Dachang, but also the whole world, it is easy to dominate." ”
