The chill emitted by the rosary made Huang Qiong, who was already a little murderous, quickly calm down in an instant. Turning around, he said in a tone that revealed a faint chill: "You know a lot of things." However, this king is a little puzzled, as an ordinary person, how can you know so many secret things. ”

"That Vice Minister Chen's general trend of accepting the prince's property, this king wants such a secret thing, he shouldn't go around publicizing it. And, as you said. This king can be said to have no foundation in the court, not to mention compared with the crown prince, and compared with the King Rui, King Jing, and King Shu who are also from the middle palace, it can be said that he has nothing. ”

"Even with the fourth brother King Ji and the sixth brother Teng who have already taken up the domain, the King Yong, the King Shen, the King of Song, the King of Zhao, the King of Yi, the King of Jia, and even the kings of Fengcheng, Jianyang, Linzi, and Jinan who have not yet left the palace, there is no way to compare. How can you be sure that this king will be able to win in the end and make you a hero from the dragon? ”

"Even if you are the so-called descendant of Jia Zhen, you are still an ordinary person after all, and this king can't see that you have the ability to be an unpredictable prophet. If there really is, I'm afraid you won't get to the point of selling yourself to bury your father. An ordinary person can actually understand the secrets of the princes so clearly, do you think what you said is in the past? ”

Although Jia Quan, who heard the slight chill in the tone of the young county king, was not afraid. Although he also knew that the young prince in front of him, although he did not have any power and foundation outside the palace, he still had at least a hundred ways to make himself disappear into this world quietly.

But for Jia Quan, Huang Qiong's performance not only made him truly reassured, but even firmer in his original idea. If Huang Qiong turned a blind eye to this kind of showmanship of herself, and only focused on soliciting, then Jia Quan really had to be right, right. How to say that, yes, it's too much.

Good birds choose trees to perch on, and when people vote for the Lord, why not? When others are looking at Jia Quan, Jia Quan is not also choosing. If Huang Qiong is only interested in soliciting, it can only mean that the young prince is too impetuous and lacks calmness.

And in this kind of battle for the royal family's succession, in which the fighting eyes and scheming account for the majority, the most powerful one is not necessarily the one who has the last laugh. But one thing is for sure, the one who laughs last is definitely the one who can calm down the most. Although this county king is almost completely a blank sheet of paper in terms of power at the moment, as long as he can calm down, it is better to draw on a blank paper, isn't it?

Jia Quan, who had strengthened his thoughts, raised his head and looked at Huang Qiong and said, "Lord Wang, although some people do some things very hidden, they are not seamless eggs, and I really can't inquire about them at all." Their mouths are very strict, but their families may not be able to control their mouths. ”

"The person who King Jing gave to Vice Minister Chen was the king of Jingzhao Mansion. As for the person who knew that he was King Rui, the reason was very simple, this Wang Tongzhi was the fourth rank of King Jing's Mansion before he was transferred to Jingzhao Mansion. Moreover, from King Jing's exit from the palace to his inauguration, this Wang Tongzhi has been serving in King Jing's mansion. ”

"From the main thin of the six products, it has been the long history of the four products. And before King Jing became a vassal domain, he was transferred from Changshi to Jingzhao Mansion. Moreover, as an elected official, he can not only achieve the long history of the Prince's Mansion, but also be able to achieve the four qualities of this good place at the age of forty. This special case cannot be said to have not existed since the founding of the country, but it is definitely extremely rare. ”

"It is said that after this person King Jing left the palace, he was named to enter the palace. To be the head of the prince's mansion is also promoted by King Jing. I heard that for this person, the prince and King Jing also broke their wrists very much. The person that King Rui valued so much, but he stayed in Jingshi before he became a vassal, and he was also placed in such a critical position as the Tongzhi of Jingzhao Mansion. ”

"Judging from King Jing's actions, it is not difficult for anyone who has a heart to know that this person is a nail planted by King Jing in the capital. At that time, King Jing's style also caused a lot of good noise among the six minor officials. It is said that King Jing does not choose talents in an eclectic manner, and he has the image of a Ming Jun, and he will definitely not suffer a loss if he follows King Jing. ”

"How many gifts this guy gave to that Vice Minister Chen, he naturally won't tell me personally, and of course Vice Minister Chen, who made a lot of money in a muffled voice, will not make a big deal of it. But the brother of Vice Minister Chen's favorite concubine in the sixth room, that is, the foreign steward of his family, has two hobbies. One is drinking, the other is bragging, three or two are drunk, and it is not difficult to pry his mouth open. ”

"During the time that Quan was in the capital, although he was a little embarrassed, he got to know a lot of petty officials of the six departments, the Hanlin Academy, and the four temples, as well as the stewards of many big families. Although these people do not have much authority, because they are in the center and are all over the government and the opposition in the same year, they are extremely well-informed.

"Except for some of these officials, most of them are from Jinshi, but they have been excluded for some reason and are depressed. Although this dynasty selects officials who are the first to be born as scholars, there has been a bad habit of fighting against the party among civil officials for thousands of years, and this dynasty naturally cannot avoid it. ”

"For example, a friend of Quan, Zhang Ying, the director of the Fourth Translation Hall of the Ministry of Rites, is now the first and second class jinshi after the pro-government. He was only forty-four years old when he was raised, and he could be called a young talent. Among the second-class jinshi that year, he was the only one left in the six departments after observing politics. In the same year as him, he was quite envious of being able to stay in the six ministries and be the head of the six ministries like the Ministry of Officials.

Even he himself was full of confidence, thinking that he would be able to become a scholar in twenty years at most, at least to appease the first- and second-class masters. But in the past ten years, it has been going around in the six departments. In the same year of his batch, most of them have now achieved the rank of three or four senior officials such as the political envoys of Zhulubu, the envoys of the inspectors, and the scholars and politicians, and at least they have achieved a prefect. ”

"It's not for nothing that even the pacification envoy and the six squires have been appeased, and the current squire of the military department is the same year as him, and he has been in the six ministries all over again, and he is still a small six-grade master. Although he was finally promoted to one level last year, he was kicked from the head of the six ministries to the Fourth Translation Hall of the Ministry of Rites. ”

"And in the past ten years, it has never been let go. Not to mention Zhizhou, even a magistrate has never done it. After so many years of sitting on the cold bench, even if you are a good person, you will become too extreme. This person feels that he is full of talent, but he has nowhere to show it, so he often drinks to kill his sorrows. ”

Quan and he met at the wine table, and they became friends after coming and going. Although this person has a small official position, because he has worked in the Six Ministries for more than ten years, he is extremely familiar with the officials of the Six Ministries. The zigzag paths between the various departments have never been able to hide from his eyes. ”

And in the capital, there are not a few officials like him. Among these large and small yamen in the capital, there are no ghosts in that temple who have died to death? Didn't put the cold bench on the officer? Although it is impossible for these people to associate with Quan, there are more than a dozen people who often interact with Quan. There are six departments, Yushitai, Zongzheng Temple, these central gates, and even one is the East Palace Zhan Shifu. ”

"These people are low-level and light-powered, so it's naturally impossible for them to do something. It's not that hard to get some news out of their mouths. Those things about the long history of the Song Dynasty were told to me by a friend of Zongzheng Temple. He has served in Zongzheng Temple and Zhan Shifu for more than ten years, and although his grade is not high, it can be said that he knows the character of the princes well. ”

"The prince is poisonous, narrow-minded, and although he pretends to be loyal and filial on the outside, he is actually fierce and mean, and no one looks like a king at all. In political affairs, he is afraid of the heavy, and he simply cannot bear the heavy responsibility of the king of a country. He even asserted that if the crown prince really inherited the unification, the Great Qi Dynasty would not be far from the country. ”

"On the surface, King Rui and King Jing are full of people who will attract people's hearts. But in his bones, he is still thin and cold, all of them are tiger and wolf nature, and his eyes have nothing but the position of today. How many of the displaced people who poured into Luoyang City were caused by the two kings' requisitions, tyrannical expropriation, and clever plundering? I'm afraid I can't even count them. ”

"Although the king of Shu is first-class, at least on the surface, he is still a virtuous corporal, and he is called a virtuous king by the courtiers. But according to my friend's observation, the King of Shu is no different from the other sons of the Middle Palace, and even far better than the other sons in terms of cruelty and cruelty. It's just that compared to other princes, the king of Shu is not an ordinary person who can disguise. ”

"King Ji, because his mother was just a palace maid, had an extremely low status, and he was just a concubine until he died. In addition, there are rumors in the palace that his mother was forced to Jinshang by Emperor Liezong back then, and she was already pregnant when she arrived by Jinshang's side. This King Ji is not Jinshang's own flesh and blood at all, but the son of Emperor Liezong back then. ”

"So this fourth prince is timid and afraid of things by nature, even if a leaf falls on his head, he is afraid of smashing his head. It is precisely for this reason that after this person arrived in the domain, the people of the domain had the best life among the princes of the domain. As for King Teng, he is extremely greedy by nature. Lord, your palace was originally the Vine Palace. ”

"If Quan is not mistaken, I am afraid that there is not even a water tank left in this palace after King Teng became a vassal. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the right to dispose of this mansion, I'm afraid even the beams would have been torn down and sold. Moreover, this sixth prince is simple-minded and extremely vulgar. Others often instigate a few words and fall into the trap, and are treated as the first bird without knowing it. ”

"King Zhao is frail and sickly, and he has been sick since he took office, and I am afraid that time will not last long. As for King Song, he is not only mean and greedy by nature, but also arrogant. The mother's family is the most powerful among the sons of today, although his maternal ancestor has been a scholar, but for many years of experience in the official career of the Ministry of Rites, the university scholar, and the head of the Hanlin Academy, his protégés and former officials are all over the court and the opposition. ”

"His uncle, a current Si Nong Temple Zhengqing, although he is not in a position of high power, but he relies on his family background to form a party in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China. Although it is usually inconspicuous, its influence among civil officials even exceeds that of several ministers in Zhongshu Province. Another uncle, although he only served as the prefect on Liangzhedong Road. However, the East and West Road of Liangzhejiang is the same as the East and West Road of Jiangnan, which can be called the richest place in my Great Qi Dynasty. ”

"Although it is only a prefect, it has an extraordinary influence on the entire Jiangnan officialdom. This King of Song is in the court, with such an uncle with strong capital as internal aid, and another uncle with great influence outside as foreign aid, it can be said that he wants wind and rain, and even the prince and the sons of the middle palace have always been courteous to him. ”
