"Huh. When the sound of the piano dissipated, Zhang Jishan slowly opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up and smiled slightly. "It's all going on outside, the Thirteenth Prince, you're very leisurely, singing and dancing, so happy. ”

"Hehe, Brother Zhang has not arrived, my little ability is vulnerable in front of my three elder brothers! After slowly putting the piano away, the corners of Ji Hong's mouth curled and arched his hand.

"Huh. Thirteen princes, you!" Zhang Jishan shook his head and smiled, what about the ability of the micro-end?

I heard a lot of things about Ji Hong along the way. Although Ji Hong's power is neither the strongest nor the largest, he has the widest popular power.

The reason why the emperor is called the emperor is because there are people who support him, and if no one supports him, then the emperor is just a lonely person! Moreover, in a country, the power of the people is the most important force. With the huge basic force of the people, there are no powerful warriors, and there are no capable people.

And this is something that the other three strong contenders do not have. They blindly expand their power and blindly win over powerful customers.

However, this is not for the sake of competing for the country, and the side with strong combat power is the one with the best chance of winning the country. They are only fighting for the throne, and those who serve the public are the ones who have the most hope of sitting on the throne.

The elders of the Ji family don't want the dynasty they have established for tens of thousands of years to fall apart! They will inevitably choose a prince who can control the people of the entire Yujing Dynasty to be the next emperor.

And Ji Hong can figure out the thoughts of the Ji family's elders, is this Wei Mo's ability? In terms of winning the recognition of the Ji family's elders, Ji Hong is far superior to other princes. After all, the final ownership of the throne is still in the hands of the Ji family.

No matter how happy they are, in the end they can't get the approval of the Ji family, then the forces they win over will be inclined to the prince who ascended the throne and made someone else's wedding dress for nothing.

"Hehe, Brother Zhang, this first glass of wine, I will do it first as a respect, thank you for coming thousands of miles to help, with Brother Zhang here, my heart is also a lot more steady!" After the woman who poured two glasses of sake, Ji Hong picked up one of them and saluted Zhang Jishan.

"Hehe, the thirteenth prince is outside. At that time, in the Valley of Illusion, you didn't help me a lot. Zhang Jishan shook his head with a smile, picked up the wine glass on the table, and drank it all with Ji Hong.

Hearing this, Ji Hong shook his head and smiled: "Hehe, in the Absolute Illusion Valley, I don't think I can help Brother Zhang! ”

After Zhang Jishan and Ji Hong clinked glasses again, they shook their heads and smiled: "Hehe, where, the Thirteen Princes are modest, if there is no Thirteen Princes for you, we will not leave without any damage when we come out of the black palace!"

Just when Ji Hong was about to say something, the woman who was pouring wine for the two of them covered her mouth and smiled: "Hehe, I said that the two of you don't need to be so polite, they are both brothers, talking like this, it is inevitable that it will be a little angry!"

"Hahaha!" Hearing this, the two of them raised their heads to the sky and roared in unison.

After three rounds of drinking, after the two exchanged pleasantries, Ji Hong gently pulled the woman who poured the wine to his side, the corners of his mouth curled, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Brother Zhang, you see that I patronize and talk with you, and I forgot to introduce you to my brother." ”

"Hmph, I thought you only had Brother Zhang in your eyes!" the woman snorted with dissatisfaction, and raised her wine glass and saluted. "Xiaoqiu has seen Brother Zhang. ”

"Huh. The corners of Zhang Jishan's mouth curled, as if he saw something, and drank the wine in the cup. "Miss Xiaoqiu, we shouldn't be meeting for the first time!"

"Oh, Brother Zhang, when have you seen Xiaoqiu?" Hearing this, Ji Hong was a little surprised, this is impossible. In the secret realm, Xiaoqiu was dressed as a man, and he also used the secret method of breathing to hide the aura on his body. And now and before is completely different, how did Zhang Jishan see it?

Looking at Ji Hong's somewhat surprised appearance for a while, the corners of Zhang Jishan's mouth curled and said: "Hehe, Brother Ji, you have been holding back for a long time, don't you just want to see the embarrassed appearance when I know that Xiaoqiu is daughter!"

"Eh~" Hearing this, Ji Hong scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and Zhang Jishan really saw that Xiaoqiu was his daughter in the secret realm.

"Giggles, Hong, I'll just say it, Brother Zhang already knew!" Looking at Ji Hong's embarrassed appearance, Xiaoqiu covered his mouth and smiled.

"Hehe, Brother Zhang is really Brother Zhang, and his observation is strong. Xiaoqiu's man's dress may not be recognizable even by Xiaoqiu's parents, but Brother Zhang can recognize it at a glance. In this way, I am more confident in the competition for this throne!" Ji Hong smiled, drank a glass of wine, and quickly changed the topic.

"Huh. Zhang Jishan shook his head and smiled, drank a glass of wine, and said with a straight face. "Brother Ji, tell me more about the situation in the imperial capital!"

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Ji Hong changed his previous appearance, drank a glass of wine, and slowly told Zhang Jishan about it.

"The Eighth Prince~~~" a little, after listening to Ji Hong's narration, Zhang Jishan muttered. "Listening to you say this, these eight princes are indeed the most promising candidates for the throne. Although he only gets half the hearts of the people, most of those people are rich gentry and rich people. A wealthy gentry is worth thousands of ordinary people, and the support of a wealthy gentleman is equivalent to the support of tens of thousands of people. I didn't expect that. ”

"Hehe, Brother Zhang's analysis is good. Ji Hong smiled bitterly and said. "Moreover, the Chinese military officials of the DPRK also support the starling the most. If it weren't for my support from Grandpa Xiaoqiu, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be qualified to compete for the throne!"

"Oh, who is Xiaoqiu's grandfather?" Zhang Jishan was a little surprised, one person can be compared to many civil and military officials, then his status in the Yujing Dynasty ~~~

Ji Hong gently took Xiaoqiu into his arms, and said with a lucky smile: "Hehe, Xiaoqiu's grandfather is the protector general of my dynasty and the first general of my dynasty." If it weren't for Xiaoqiu being Old Man Mo's favorite granddaughter, I'm afraid that I, a rising prince, would not be able to get the support of any civil and military officials at all. ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Jishan nodded lightly.

Also, Ji Hong is Ji Chang's thirteenth son, if it weren't for Mo Xiaoqiu's relationship, it would definitely be like this. Most of the civil and military officials have long been co-opted by his elder brothers, and some are in a neutral state, and whoever can finally ascend the throne will serve whomever they want. If not, Mo Xiaoqiu tied the knot with him, Ji Hong is afraid that he is really willing to take this throne and is powerless!

"From this point of view, although you have the support of Old Man Mo, you are still the weakest party! But I don't think your father will use this to determine the final ownership of the throne!"

"Yes! The struggle for the throne is a comprehensive test for a prince, and it is not that the greater the power, the more advantageous. When my father's generation was vying for the throne, my father was not the most advantageous prince, but in the end he got the throne. So, I still have some chances. ”

Looking at Ji Hong's appearance without the slightest edge, Zhang Jishan shook his head and said, "Brother Ji, even so. However, you also said that the struggle for the throne is a comprehensive test for a prince. At the end of the day, it's your father who will test you. ”

"If you want to be a good emperor, you must have two sides! Be soft when you should be soft, and be strong when you should be strong. Although you have achieved the soft side, the sharp side is far from your three brothers!"

Zhang Jishan's words seemed to speak to Mo Xiaoqiu's heart for a while, so Mo Xiaoqiu nodded in agreement, and said with a gentle smile: "Hehe, Brother Zhang's analysis is good." My grandfather also said that Hiroshi is good in every aspect, but sometimes he just isn't strong enough!"

"That's the case, but fratricide ~~~"

However, before Ji Hong's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhang Jishan: "Brother Ji, if you are ruthless, then you still don't want to participate in this battle for the throne! With your current state, it is useless to participate in it! If you are no longer stronger, the final result can be imagined!"

When Zhang Jishan's words fell, the bamboo forest was very quiet for a while, and the bamboo leaves fell with the breeze.

Looking at Ji Hong, who fell into silence for a while, Zhang Jishan secretly shook his head and smiled. As an emperor, when competing for the throne, it is inevitable to break his hands and feet. Those who want to sacrifice without bloodshed will compete for the only dragon chair, which can only exist in the story. And if there is no ruthlessness, even if he sits on the throne, he will not be able to govern a huge court! This is obviously not what Ji Chang wants to see.

Therefore, many princes couldn't cross this hurdle, so they put down everything early and didn't participate in the competition.

"Hehe, Brother Ji, there are still more than two months before the real battle for the throne. No matter whether you can finally cross the hurdle in your heart, I will do my best to help you!So for now, let's discuss what to do next!" Looking at Ji Hong, whose brows were about to be twisted into flowers for a while, the corners of Zhang Jishan's mouth curled and changed the topic.

"I heard you say that your starling was originally very weak, but now the reason why he is so strong is because there is an extremely powerful strategist who advises him, I don't know the person you are talking about, but this young man?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Ji's kindness moved, and a figure made of Lingqi appeared in front of Ji Hong and the others.

"Huh?" Looking at the figure condensed by Zhang Jishan, who covered his face with half a mask, Mo Xiaoqiu was very surprised. "Brother Zhang, have you seen Chu Luoling?"

"Hehe, is that really the case~" Hearing this, the corners of Zhang Jishan's mouth curled, thinking of the young man who seemed to be able to control everything. "I have seen it, but I came to the Imperial Dynasty on his ship. Come to think of it, he now knows who I am and what I'm doing this time! And he's far from being as simple as it seems. ”
