The crown prince Chen Shubao, who was still discussing with Zhang Dai and Shen Keqing, how to secretly prepare for a poetry conference, and then take advantage of the general firm, when he heard the news that Emperor Chen Xu had already issued an order to transfer his own brother, Xingwang Chen Shuling, back to Jinling City, he was so frightened that he suddenly collapsed on the ground!

"Father Emperor actually wants to transfer King Xing back to Jinling? This is clearly to show favor to King Xing, and then let him compete with this palace! This, is this because the father wants to abolish the position of the crown prince of the palace? Chen Shubao said in horror.

"Your Highness, don't panic! His Royal Highness is the eldest son of His Majesty, and he has been named the crown prince for many years, His Majesty will definitely not be able to abolish His Highness if he wants! Shen Ke said comfortingly.

"And Lord Cai also said that His Majesty transferred King Xing back to Jinling this time, mainly to reconcile the contradiction between you and King Xing, so as not to make your contradiction more intense in the future, if you wait for the contradiction to reach an irreparable situation and then deal with it, then it will be too late! Therefore, now Your Majesty will take advantage of the fact that if the three kingdoms of Zhou, Chen, and Qi have stopped the expedition and the state affairs are not so heavy, he will solve the contradiction between the two Highnesses, from this point of view, His Majesty will not abolish His Highness! Shen Keqing analyzed.

"This Xiao Shilang is really hateful! I thought that he became the assassin of Xuzhou and left Jinling City, and the palace did not have this thorn in the eye here, but I didn't expect him to be so cunning, and he didn't let the palace sleep peacefully, and he even thought of playing his father's emperor, transferring King Xing back to Jinling City, and directly confronting the palace, this Xiao Shilang is really too insidious! Chen Shubao scolded angrily.

"Everyone knows that this palace and King Xing are not in harmony, and I believe that my father also knows that King Xing has always coveted the position of the crown prince of this palace, and has always wanted to replace me! And the palace by the father's favor has always been not as good as King Xing, from childhood to adulthood, no matter what mistakes King Xing made, the father will choose to forgive, before the secret report showed that King Xing did nothing in Xiangzhou, so that the people complained, but the father did not have any punishment for King Xing! And before, the palace just recited a somewhat exaggerated poem in front of his father, but the father punished the palace to be confined to the east palace and think about it behind closed doors for a few months! From this point of view, the father is really unfair to the palace! This time, the father transferred King Xing back, although he didn't say that he wanted to abolish the palace, but he must have an idea in his heart! Chen Shubao was angry and scolded indignantly!

"Your Highness! The more critical it is, the more you have to be calm! And now it's not the most urgent moment, Your Highness must not be blinded by anger! Shen Ke shouted softly, making the panicked Chen Shubao tremble suddenly.

Then Shen Keqing continued to comfort and said: "Maybe Your Majesty does intend to show favor to King Xing and promote him to form a competition with Your Highness, but are you already afraid of Your Highness?" Have you already thrown in the towel? Even if His Majesty favors King Xing ten times more than His Highness, so what? Your Highness, you are the eldest son of His Majesty, and this advantage is incomparable to King Xing! Does Your Majesty dare to risk the world's condemnation and abolish the long and young? This is a big taboo, and it will definitely cause division and turmoil in the entire court! ”

"Even if Your Majesty intends to promote King Xing now and give him a chance to compete with His Highness, Your Highness still has an absolute advantage over King Xing, so now we must not mess with ourselves, as long as Your Highness does not make those big rebellious mistakes, then Your Majesty cannot do such a stupid thing as abolishing Chang Liyou! Moreover, Cai Shangshu also reminded His Royal Highness that His Majesty's intention is mainly to warn His Highness, and also to inspect His Highness, so His Majesty still prefers Your Highness to inherit the throne! As long as Your Highness shows the ambition of serving the people diligently, making great efforts to govern the country, and bent on supporting the community and benefiting the people, then Your Majesty will definitely pass on the throne to Your Highness! Shen Ke reminded Chen Shubao lightly.

"Lord Shen is right! Our majesty is an ambitious emperor, so he will also value this in choosing the heir to the throne! In addition, His Majesty has always taken the example of several faint monarchs in Qi State in a row, which led to the decline of national strength, so he will be so strict with Your Highness, because he doesn't want his heir to be like the current Emperor Gao Wei of Qi State, who is absurd and mediocre, in exchange for a woman trained by Xiao Shilang, he actually let his queen and harem concubines serve Xiao Shilang! So now if anyone shows greed for pleasure in front of His Majesty and ignores the government, then he will definitely anger His Majesty and make His Majesty bored! Zhang Dai, who was more well-informed, also persuaded.

"Your Majesty has indeed always regarded the Gao clan of the Qi Kingdom as a lesson from the past! How powerful the Qi State was back then, but after experiencing a few faint monarchs, it is now in danger, after recovering Xuzhou, if it weren't for this Xiao Shilang taking the initiative to stop fighting, if we Chen Guo's army continued the Northern Expedition, and even joined forces with the Zhou State to attack the Qi State, the Qi State would die! Therefore, His Majesty will never allow his heir to be a poor and extravagant faint king! Shen Keqing also nodded and said.

"Yes, that's right, you all have a lot of sense, for King Xing, this palace still has a very advantage!" Chen Shubao, who was encouraged by his subordinates, regained his confidence.

"Since my father doesn't want Chen Guo to appear faint, then the palace must show a look of abstaining from luxury and frugality, being a virtuous corporal, diligent and loving the people in front of my father! Speaking of disguise, this palace really wants to study hard with King Xing, he is a person, in front of his father, always pretending to be modest and cautious, and whether he is in the court or sitting in the carriage, he will hold a book in his hand, and he has been chanting words in his mouth, which makes people feel that he is very studious! But in reality, he's just pretending, and when he gets back to the house, he throws the book aside and messes around with his fox friends until dawn! Chen Shubao also said with a sneer.

"That is, now that King Xing is coming back to Jinling City, presumably their side will definitely fight with our side at that time, so do we want to continue to prepare for the poetry conference and steal the limelight of the general trading house!" Zhang Dai asked.

"Of course, keep preparing! Anyway, they are in the light and we are in the dark, and our chances of winning are still very good! Moreover, holding a poetry conference can discover talents for our Chen Kingdom, and His Majesty will definitely appreciate His Highness very much at that time! As for King Xing's side, I don't think we need to be too nervous, after all, although he was transferred back to Jinling City this time, in fact, he was only promoted to Yangzhou Assassin History, in fact, he still didn't return to the center of the court, and even if he didn't have His Majesty's permission, he wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the court meeting! In addition, that Xiao Shilang is also in Xuzhou now, without this powerful helper in Jinling City, then King Xing who returned to Jinling is equivalent to a toothless tiger, so in Jinling, we still have an absolute advantage! Shen Ke said with a sneer.

"Hearing you say this, this palace is also a lot more relieved, this palace was really too panicked just now, after all, my father has always been the most favored by him! But the palace almost forgot that King Xing was also so beaten by the palace that his father transferred him out of Jinling City! And this time, Hongu will defeat him again! Okay, since that's the case, let's respond to all changes with the same and see how King Xing, who returns to Jinling City, will make a move! Chen Shubao regained his confidence and said confidently.
