Chapter 135: The Prince's Determination

Even if the crown prince really wants to reactivate himself after he ascends the throne, I am afraid that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree, and he will use a notorious person as the prime minister. I am still looking forward to him here, I can sit firmly in the position of the prince, and I can make a comeback. Now it seems that all this is just his own fantasy.

Although the prince's words were to appease himself, he was not telling himself. Himself is not irreplaceable in his place. Although the truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit, Zhang Qian did not understand. But being told in such a face-to-face undoubtedly felt a little slapped in the face, plus it was really chilling.

However, Zhang Qian is Zhang Qian in the end, and this city government and mentality are not comparable to ordinary people. Although he was quite chilled by what the prince did. But knowing that the prince was a man, he did not show a trace of dissatisfaction on his face. Because he knows that once he reveals even the slightest dissatisfaction, the only thing waiting for him is a dead end.

This prince's hands are not ordinary black. For those who are no longer useful to him, he will not mind letting them disappear from this world. Thinking of this, Zhang Qian, who knew that he had been here for a long time, and was even more chilled in his heart now, no longer wanted to stay in this prince's courtyard.

He arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, Zhang Qian is grateful." His Royal Highness has nothing else to ask for, but I just hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can inherit the great treasure and create a prosperous era for me, and he will be satisfied. The minister has been here for too long, and if he continues to stay, I am afraid that it will attract attention. ”

"The emperor asked his ministers to complete all the handovers within three days. My father was going back to his hometown to settle down, and there were many affairs at home, so the minister also took his leave. But before the minister parted, there was something to say. Maybe it's a word of loyalty, but this is the minister's heartfelt words when he parted, and I ask Your Highness to listen to it. ”

Although he was already dissatisfied with some of the prince's actions, he was already dissatisfied in his heart. But after all, for so many years, he has been the head of the prince. There are some things that have gone deep into his bones for him, the prince's descendant. Zhang Qian felt that there was something he still had to say.

It's just that before he could say anything, the prince had already interrupted his topic: "What, Old Marquis Zhang is also going to return to his hometown?" Didn't the father have already given Zhuangzi and left the old marquis Zhang to raise him in Beijing, why did the old marquis return to his hometown? ”

Regarding the news that Wuchang Hou was preparing to return to his hometown, the prince even felt more shocked than Zhang Qian's dismissal. Without him, this person is bent on learning from the king of Guilin back then, and when Emperor Taizu was preparing to save the prince, that is, Emperor Taizong later. Although he has been promoted, Wu Changhou, who still has a lot of influence on the emperor and the court, is a hardcore prince.

is the crown prince, the biggest supporter in the court. Last year, some ministers of the court and the central government wrote to the emperor that the crown prince could participate in state affairs in order to prepare for the future. Once he left the capital, his strength would be weakened even more than Zhang Qian's money bag and he would be removed.

"Why my father made this decision, the minister still does not know. The minister only knew that his father was summoned to the palace after the emperor returned to the palace from the British Palace. After coming back, it was like a teenager at home, so he arranged for someone to pack up and prepare to return home. After my father made this decision, the minister was also quite surprised. ”

"Because of his father, the emperor did not return to his hometown. Instead, he lived in the Jingci Mansion, and was summoned to the palace every three or five times to accompany the emperor to talk, play chess, and allowed his father to be buried in the imperial tomb after his death. It can be said that there has not been any reduction in grace, and it can even be said that it has been rare since the founding of the country. ”

But after his father came out of the palace that day, he made the decision to return to his hometown, and no matter how much the minister asked him, the old man did not let go. And the emperor didn't do anything to keep it. He only gave 10,000 yuan as the cost of his father's return home. However, although the father did not tell the reason, the minister guessed that it was related to what the minister did. ”

"The minister's failure to do his best for His Royal Highness is disloyalty, and now because of the minister's affairs, it is unfilial to implicate the old father, and the minister really deserves death. However, the minister's departure can be said to be thousands of miles away from His Royal Highness, and I don't know when I will be able to meet again. The minister's parting words, please let His Highness listen. ”

"Your Highness, although the minister and the king of England have only one side. But although the king is young, he is by no means the kind of young and vigorous person. And resourceful, thoughtful, and endurance, the most important thing is to know when to give up what to give up. The depth of its city is by no means comparable to the cleverness of King Duan and King Jing. ”

"Even the King of Shu, I'm afraid it's a little worse than it, and you must not take it lightly. Although the British king's methods are still a little immature, and he has no power of his own in the court, His Royal Highness must not despise him because of this. Once this person matures, he will inevitably become a big problem for His Highness. ”

"In the opinion of the minister, His Royal Highness should still be as kind to this person as possible, and it would be best if he could win him over. If you really can't win over, it's better to get rid of the aftermath as soon as possible. In short, this person must not stay in the capital. Even if he uses some extraordinary means, he must be allowed to settle in advance. ”

"As long as he leaves the capital, without the protection of the emperor, he will not be able to set off any big storms. However, Your Highness must not think of getting rid of this person completely. Especially now, when the emperor's opinion of him is changing rapidly. Your Highness, that rumor has been released, but now it has no effect at all. ”

It is enough to show that this person's status in the emperor's mind is not ordinary. Otherwise, the emperor would not have a reason not to investigate. But the current situation is that the rumors have been circulating for several days, and the emperor is only tracing the source of the rumors, and nothing else has been done. If you do it at this time, you are asking yourself for unnecessary trouble. ”

"If Your Highness really wants to get rid of him completely, you have to wait until he arrives in the domain to do it. But the minister's suggestion is not to turn against this person as much as possible. Even if you really can't be friends, don't be enemies. Especially at the moment, there are still some delicate moments. Compared with this British king, Duan Wang and Jing Wang are your top priorities. ”

"Lonely look at you once was bitten by a snake, and now you are afraid of the well rope for ten years. The ninth brother of Gu does have some small means, but it is far from the point you said. You don't have to worry, killing him alone is as easy as crushing a bed bug. He is just a remnant of Huaiyang, and what kind of storm can he set off. ”

"This time he hit it by mistake, and next time it won't be so easy. Rest assured, the humiliation he inflicted on you, he will definitely double down on helping you get it back. For Zhang Qian's hard persuasion, the prince did not take it to heart. For the crown prince, Huang Qiong is at most a troublemaker. To say that as an opponent, he is far from qualified.

Seeing that the prince didn't take his own advice seriously at all. In his bones, he was still full of contempt for the British king, and Zhang Qian could only smile wryly and shake his head. As early as when Zhang Qian entered the Shiji and stepped into this officialdom. His father of Wuchanghou once told him. At all times, don't underestimate your opponent, even if the opponent is weak.

The current King of England feels like a needle hidden in the cotton to Zhang Qian. Although he is young, this city is far from being able to compare with the rest of the princes. It looks polite on the outside, but what is really going on in the heart, others can never guess. And is this British king, who is good friends with King Yong, really so weak on the surface now?

At least not to mention anything else, with the support of King Yong, who is known as the biggest gangster in the capital, at least in terms of ears and eyes, the agility of this British king is even more than that of the crown prince of the current dynasty. Although it seems to be inconspicuous and undewy on weekdays, but when it comes to the critical moment, I am afraid that the role of the Yongwang is far beyond that of ordinary officials.

And judging from the fact that the British king was outside Liu Hu's house that day, he used both soft and hard means. If he wants to come forward to win over officials, he will really achieve nothing if he fails. Although the first- and second-grade officials show that most of them protect themselves, those middle and lower-level officials may not have the intention of burning cold stoves.

Especially now, when the status of the British king in the emperor's mind is rising. At least this cold stove may not be as cold as it seems. Although the emperor has many sons, Zhang Qian has never heard of which son's mansion this emperor will go to every day. This time, he was able to go to the palace of this British king, and he stayed for a long time without saying anything, and he was immediately knighted.

Although it seems that it is normal for Lao Tzu to look at his son, it is also normal for Lao Tzu to give his son the title that should have been. But the emperor's move, if you really want to taste it carefully, the meaning contained in it is not as simple as it seems. In Zhang Qian's view, this is completely the emperor passing something to the outside world.

When the king of England left the palace, he was only a county king at the age of eighteen, and the guards and the servants in the palace were all assigned by the prince in front of him. It shows that when he first left the palace, the emperor may not have taken a fancy to this son. But now, such a change has been made in just a few months, which is enough to show that this British king is not a simple person.

With this kind of scheming and this kind of opponent, this prince is so contemptuous and supportive, how can he not suffer a big loss? Perhaps, in the near future, the prince of the Great Qi Dynasty, when the prince of the dynasty is bad, I am afraid that the bad things will be in the hands of the king of England, the bedbug in his eyes.

However, despite the fact that the crown prince was so contemptuous, he could become his biggest rival, the king of England, and felt dissatisfied in his heart. But Zhang Qian has an advantage, that is, he is quite knowledgeable about current affairs. This prince has obviously lost the patience to continue listening, and he can't listen to his advice at all, so he keeps silent.

Some things are said too much, and for some people, it can only backfire and become annoying. I said what I should have said, and I said what I shouldn't have said, and it's up to the prince himself to listen to it or not. If you can say this, you are already benevolent and righteous to this prince. Thinking of this, Zhang Qian said goodbye and left.

Looking at Zhang Qian's somewhat gloomy back when he left, the prince's face immediately became gloomy. Shen Sheng said to a few henchmen who were summoned by him: "Tell those people that it's time to act." Lone, the ninth brother, has brought enough trouble to Lone. Lone gave them a month, and after a month, Lone didn't want to see the living King again. ”

In addition, send a few more good men to accompany Master Zhang to the south and closely monitor his every move. If you find that he has any disobedience, I don't have to tell you what to do. There is also the doctor who treated King Zhao in the Tai Hospital, and when King Zhao traveled west, he sent him on the road together. lest the lonely brother be alone over there. ”
