"Now that there is no succession, the old fox Sony has begun to plot the dragon chair, I'll go! I can't figure it out, is this chair really that eye-catching? Did you know that down here, there's red-hot magma waiting for it! Wu Yue smiled bitterly and muttered in a low voice.

"Master, Lord Wei Chengmo has arrived." Just when Wu Yue frowned and lamented that he was born at the wrong time, Su Malagu pushed the door, came to his side quickly, bowed down and whispered.

"Wei Chengmo? What is he doing at this time? Wu Yue asked in a low voice.

Su Malagu chuckled and responded, "Master Wei is your mentor, and he has already arrived in the study early this morning, waiting for you to teach. You've been in the Cining Palace, so you didn't bother. Now you have nothing to do, so the old master hastened to teach. ”

Wu Yue saw Su Malagu's expression at this moment, and still knew that the original owner of this body was afraid that he didn't like this Wei Chengmo, and it seemed that there was still some annoying smell that filled it.

"Alright, let him in." Wu Yue stood up, came to the bookcase next to the dormitory, and sat on the chair.

Aunt Su Mala smiled and nodded, and slowly withdrew from the dormitory.

"Maybe you can take this opportunity to test Wei Chengmo. After all, I will need a lot of people in the future, and there are not many people around me who can win the trust, and if there is a problem, I can't afford to stab me in the back. Wu Yue stared at the direction of the palace gate with both eyes, and said silently in his heart.

A few minutes later, the door of the dormitory was slowly pushed open, and a man in court clothes, about fifty years old, walked in with his head bowed and walked in quickly. The man who came in the door stepped forward and came to the bookcase, knelt on the ground, and after bowing deeply three times, he clasped his fists and said, "Minister Wei Chengmo, I have seen the third elder brother, and the third elder brother is auspicious." ”

Wu Yue smiled and nodded, and responded, "Flat." ”

Wei Chengmo responded with a "sigh", and then stood up.

Wu Yue got up at this moment, came to Wei Chengmo, and bowed slightly, "I've seen the teacher." ”

Wei Chengmo stepped forward quickly and helped Wu Yue up with both hands.

"Congratulations to the third elder brother for winning the position of crown prince." Wei Chengmo's face was full of smiles, and in his voice, he couldn't hide his excitement.

Seeing this, Wu Yue smiled bitterly.

"Is the prince worried about something?" Wei Chengmo supported Wu Yue, sat down on the seat next to him, bowed down to stand beside him, and asked in a low voice.

Wu Yue nodded and looked up at Wei Chengmo, "Teacher, let's not teach today, I want to ask you something, I hope you can solve my doubts." ”

Wei Chengmo nodded, "Prince, please speak, as long as the minister knows, he must know everything, and he must say everything." ”

Wu Yue smiled and raised his hand and motioned for Wei Chengmo to sit down on the seat next to him.

Wei Chengmo didn't squirm, and after bowing down to thank him, he sat down and looked at Wu Yue with a sideways face.

Wu Yue lowered his head and pondered for a few minutes, then turned his face sideways, looked at Wei Chengmo, and said, "What is the purpose of the first emperor to make me the crown prince?" Does he really think that a six-year-old me as an emperor is more suitable than Fuquan, who is older than me? ”

Wei Chengmo was stunned by Wu Yue's direct question. His eyes stared at Wu Yue for more than ten seconds, and finally he asked with a shocked face, "Master, did you want to come here yourself?" ”

Wu Yue nodded, "I don't have anything to hide from you, this is a thought that suddenly sprung up when I was in Cining Palace today, I don't understand, I want the teacher to help me solve my doubts." ”

After listening to Wu Yue's answer, Wei Chengmo smiled more excitedly than just now, his face surfaced, he stood up excitedly, paced back and forth in the dormitory, and after a few minutes, he settled down, bowed lightly to Wu Yue, and said, "The first emperor is the person most admired by the ministers, and his wisdom is comparable to Yao Shun." ”

"Judging from the current situation, the main purpose of the first emperor to appoint you as the crown prince is to consolidate the government and ensure that the imperial power is among his descendants."

"How?" Wu Yue actually had the answer to this question in his heart, and the reason why he asked him such a question was to see how he thought about things. Also, whether he is loyal to himself or not.

Wei Chengmo looked around for a while, and after making sure that there was nothing else in the palace at this moment, he bowed down and clenched his fists again, and then said, "Most of those courtiers under the rule of the first emperor are humerus courtiers who followed the ancestor Qing Taizong to fight the world, and they have outstanding military achievements and are unruly. If the first emperor was in power, he might be able to suppress it, and let them do things for the royal family and the imperial court. But if it's you, or other contemporary brothers, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it down. ”

"Once the officials protect each other and form party henchmen, it is very likely that the imperial power will be hollowed out, and the imperial court will become a tool for them to do whatever they want."

Wu Yue looked around and nodded.

"The reason why the first emperor made you the crown prince is, firstly, because you are young and can give some people in the courtiers an illusion. Let them think that even if you become emperor, they can secretly rule according to their own ideas. Don't worry too much. Second, the first emperor has set up political enemies for those who have a heart, supported another group of people, and worked hard to make the imperial court form two forces, so as not to let one dominate. ”

Only in this way did the government appear in a temporary balance. Only in this way can it be possible to make some space for the survival of the royal family. ”

"And you, as the king of the future generations, after ascending the throne, you need to secretly look for opportunities, and when they lose the battle, you can make a decisive move, and you can return the imperial power to your hands again."

After Wei Chengmo finished speaking, he bowed deeply towards Wu Yue.

Wu Yue nodded heavily, "Did the emperor leave someone for me who could be trusted?" After all, it is very difficult to control such a large chessboard without credible and usable people. ”

Wei Chengmo got up slowly, took out a yellow scroll from his arms, and handed it to Wu Yue with both hands.

Wu Yue got up and took it and gently opened it. The content in it made Wu Yue's face turn from pink to red. Wu Yue breathed hard, and it took two minutes to calm down.

Wu Yue handed the scroll back to Wei Chengmo, lowered his voice, stared at him, and asked, "The secret decree given to you by the first emperor is to let you lead the Nine Gate Admirals, and the Nine Gate Admirals have ever passed on the secret decree?" ”

Wei Chengmo nodded solemnly, "Wu Liuyi, the commander of the Nine Gates, has already received the will of the first emperor, and a month ago, he has already contacted the minister. This is the Admiral Tiger Talisman. Wei Chengmo said, and from his armpit, he handed a purple-black sandalwood box to Wu Yue.

Wu Yue took it with one hand and gently opened it, and inside was a small crouching tiger object carved out of an unknown material. However, this talisman is only half of it, and it looks like it has been split from the middle. At this moment, under the illumination of the sun, it is refracting bursts of dazzling light.

"Where's the other half?" Wu Yue frowned and asked.

"The other half is in the hands of Wu Liuyi, the Admiral of the Nine Gates. The ancestral system of the Qing Dynasty, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, only when they see that the Taoist soldiers meet the two for one, and there is still a will to be issued, can they obey the order. Otherwise, you will not be told. Admiral of the Nine Gates, Gui is the direct garrison of the Beijing Division, and serves as the responsibility of guarding the Beijing Division. Therefore, this ancestral system cannot be abolished. Since Taizong established the capital in the south, he has a strict decree that the position of the commander of the nine gates must be carried out in strict accordance with the military charm system. ”

Hearing this, Wu Yue let out a long breath, his body weakened, and leaned on the back of the seat.

"Oh my God, I finally heard good news today. It seems that this Shunzhi Emperor is not only evasive, but still has two brushes. I know that for my own country, leave the hope of continuation. Wu Yue said silently in his heart.
