There was another sound of discussion below, but after all, this is a family affair of the Son of Heaven, and Weizi Qi is virtuous and modest, and it is also a good choice for the crown prince, plus he is the eldest son of the queen, everything seems to be logical, and everyone has no objection, Di Yi felt very relieved, so he asked the new Taishi Lingwen to prepare the edict, clothing and other matters. After discussing some less important matters, he retired.

And Wen Ci is full of ambition to return to the house, full of smugness and carried away he suddenly felt sexually interesting, about to pull a concubine to do that daytime thing, but the housekeeper suddenly came to his ear and whispered a few words, Wen Ci immediately came to the side room after listening, saw that the masked man was already waiting here, he was about to happily step forward to thank the other party for his generous shot, but unexpectedly the other party stretched out his hand to stop himself, and the next sentence surprised him.

"Wei Ziqi, you can't be the crown prince!"

Wen Ci immediately frowned, and then stretched out his hand to signal the other party to sit down and talk in detail, but deep down he didn't want to mix with this matter, the courtiers who had been involved too deeply since ancient times, whether they pressed the bet or not, the end was not very good, but after seeing a few large boxes in the room in the next second, his brows relaxed, and he looked at the masked man with a smile and said.

"I wonder who is behind you, exactly?" At this time, Wen Ci had already regarded this masked man as a certain prince's adviser, and he had been planning slowly for several months to move the capital to Chaoge, and it was finally achieved, and the other party did not urge, obviously not too anxious. And today, the king suddenly proposed the matter of establishing the prince, so that he couldn't sit still immediately, he had just arrived at home, and the other party had prepared several boxes of treasures to meet him, presumably the matter was very urgent, the most likely reason was that there was a prince standing behind the masked man, and it must not be Wei Ziqi's person. He is not in a hurry, since the other party asks for his door, there will naturally be a moment to express his intentions, and when the time comes, who this person lets himself support, the person behind it will naturally be revealed.

For some reason, Wen Ci inexplicably felt the face behind the mask smile, and then the man said.

"You don't need to guess my identity and thoughts, your task is to find a way to make Zishou the crown prince, and you can mention it."

"Hiss", Wen Ci gasped, shocked in his heart, the other party did not hesitate to let the unknown third prince take the position, he didn't know much about the third prince, it is said that he is both civil and military, but his personality is a little tyrannical, so he felt that the difficulty of this task was a little great, but he couldn't refuse the temptation of gold and silver, he lowered his head and frowned and thought about it, and then stretched out a palm and said, "Five times the number last time, After speaking, his eyes stared at the masked man tightly, for fear that the other party would regret it, but what he thought in his heart was " Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or fails, he only has the choice of resigning from his official position to buy a fief and become a rich man, but this is also his long-term vision."

The masked man was silent for a few minutes, and then slowly nodded and said, "The price is acceptable, you will see those things tomorrow morning, but you have to hurry up and carry out this matter, it will be too late if it is too late."

"Hahahaha, don't worry, since I dare to quote the price, I naturally have something to rely on, as long as the gold and silver are in place, you can wait for the good news" said heroically.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow morning," the masked man said as he walked out the door. After leaving Wenci's mansion, he turned a few streets and suddenly disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he was already in a tavern in Yin, and the man took off his mask, and it was Xuandu, Taishang's apprentice, at this time, he took out the leaves of the World Tree and reported to Taishang.

"Master, he has already agreed, does the third child need to go on a trip?"

"Look at how that man will act tomorrow, if he is willing to go, then we don't have to come forward, after all, we are not right."

"Yes Master"

"You have to pay close attention, the stakes are high, and you must ensure that Zishou is smoothly ascended"

"Obey the order, I will keep in touch with the master at all times, please rest assured that I will definitely complete this matter successfully"

。。。

Early the next morning, more than a dozen carriages with the signboard of a grain and oil store came to Wenci's house, and the neighbors all knew that Wenci had turned positive now, and he would definitely feast his relatives and friends, and it was normal to prepare some rice and grain, but no one knew that these dozen carriages were full of high-quality gold and silver treasures.

Wen Ci personally checked the inside of each carriage, and then asked people to start transporting to the mansion, but two carriages were directly replaced with the signboards of his Wen Mansion and headed east under the leadership of Wen Ci.

Passing through several bustling streets, Wen Ci came to the front of a mansion with a plaque of the royal mansion, which was not the residence of the surname Wang, but the real palace, which was the residence of the third prince. Wen Ci first bowed to the name and handed it to the porter, and after a while, the prince came to the main gate of the palace with a suspicious face to greet the newly appointed Taishi Ling, after all, he was a prince with no power and no position, and there was no Taishi Ling favored in front of the king, so he put down his body and personally went to the door to greet him. Wen Ci was also flattered, he thought about it all night yesterday, and began to doubt the power of the masked man, after all, an ordinary prince would definitely not be able to bribe him with so much property to bribe him a prince and minister, but he couldn't think of any other force that would give such a big bargaining chip to the third prince, he even thought of Zhou Wang Jichang, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, but in any case, his plan must be fully supported by the third prince. If the third prince himself has no intention of competing for the prince, then no matter how busy he is, it is useless, right?

After the two of them sat down, the third prince had already received news from his subordinates, the two carriages were full of gold and silver treasures, which were equivalent to the output of his own decades of fortune and fiefdom, and the third prince began to worry about Tai Shiling's intentions under the surprise, and Wen Ci also asked whether the third prince was familiar with the masked man between words, and the two of them had their own ghosts, and they were struggling to explore each other's attitudes. After all, the third prince is not a person who is too deep in the city, how can he compare with Taishi Ling, who has been close to officialdom for decades?

Soon, the third prince asked impatiently, "Lord Wen is here today, what is the so-called matter?" Please also ask Lord Wen to speak up."

Wen Ci glanced at the third prince in surprise, and made sure that the other party was not acting, so he leaned sideways, approached the third prince beside him, and pretended to be mysterious, "Do you know what was discussed at yesterday's court meeting?" ”

The third prince glanced at Wen Ci with some disgust, thinking to himself that he was not here to embarrass himself? But when he thought of the two carts of gold and silver treasures, he immediately dispelled this idea, and then nodded and said, "Move the capital and establish a reserve!" This matter of moving the capital, my Shang Dynasty has also carried out many times since the founding of the country, since my father has the intention to promote this matter, he naturally has his reason, and he should support his son. ”

Wen Ci took a sip of tea and secretly looked at the expression of the third prince, the other party only said one thing, and the matter of the prince was kept silent, whether he was avoiding it or not... Wen Ci thought about it, knowing that this matter was not only important, but also time was pressing, so he put down the teacup and arched his hand and said, "Although the king intends to make the eldest prince the crown prince yesterday, but this matter has not yet been announced to the world, so there is naturally room for the matter to be returned. ”

The third prince frowned tightly, thinking in his heart, "Isn't this person here to test himself" So he quickly stood up and bowed in the direction of the palace, "Since my father has the heart to make my eldest brother the prince, as a son and younger brother, I will naturally support it, and I have never had the heart to compete for favor, Lord Taishi Ling must not mention this matter again, and those treasures, Lord Taishi Ling will also bring them back."

The clumsy acting skills of the third prince naturally can't escape the eyes of the words, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said in the ear of the third prince, "The third prince, the subordinates are sincere, we are sincerely supporting the third prince, you must believe us, the king ordered me to send an edict, I thought about it all night yesterday, tossing and turning, and I took the liberty to come to the prince's mansion early this morning, it is precisely because of the urgency of time that I can't take care of the taboo, it is really because the matter has reached a critical juncture, in order to promote this matter, I have poured all my family wealth to show sincerity, In order to allow the third prince to use these things to solve this urgent need! ”

The third prince still looked at Taishi Lingwenci suspiciously, the two did not have much intersection on weekdays, today's sudden change made him a little hesitant, no one could refuse the temptation of the throne, but if he blindly trusted Wenci and showed his scheming, in case he met someone unladylike, it would be a catastrophe, so he couldn't think about it carefully.

Seeing that the third prince was still suspicious, Wen Ci stomped his feet anxiously, thought about it and continued, "Your Highness, Your Highness, when is this?" Since you know what happened yesterday, you will know that I did not express any suggestions or opinions on the matter of the prince, and the king ordered me to draft the edict, but for the sake of the reward and the intention of wooing me in taking the lead in supporting the king's move to the capital of the court, Your Highness must not be confused! ”

Seeing that the third prince was a little moved, Wen Ci continued to add oil and vinegar and said, "Your Highness rest assured, although His Royal Highness is relieved to use the property brought by the lower officials, His Royal Highness must first go to the queen to be courteous, not only to let the queen pay attention to you, but also to reward all the people in the harem, so that the two-pronged approach will definitely make the king and the queen's opinion of Your Royal Highness change greatly in a short period of time, and you must bring your own children to go, as the saying goes, the younger son and the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old lady!" "Although the third prince is the youngest son of the king, he has been unruly since he was a child, and he did the things of men and women early, plus his two elder brothers have only given birth to girls at present, but the third eldest who is at the bottom of the list has won the first place in the children and grandchildren, and has given birth to the third generation for the royal family." On the side of the outer court, everything is handled by the ministers, His Royal Highness does not need to worry, he is dedicated to the queen's side, as long as the queen is willing to speak for His Royal Highness, then things will take a turn for the better. ”
