Chapter 556 Infighting
But after all, Qi Cheng'an has been in the imperial city for such a long time, although Qi Chengyan's ambition is very big, but in terms of scheming, he still can't compare to Qi Cheng'an.
So Qi Cheng'an knew the reason after a little thought, Qi Cheng'an didn't bother to do such a small trick as Qi Chengyan at all, but if Qi Chengyan thought that he could gain the upper hand like this, then Qi Cheng'an would not let him get his wish.
"Hmph, it's all some little tricks, if my guess is right, those storytellers are what he bought, this Qi Chengyan doesn't look stupid, but he is actually not smart enough, this prince can see that these storytellers were bought by him, so the father can't see it!"
Qi Cheng'an smiled lightly, and didn't seem to take Qi Chengyan's tricks in his eyes at all, but Qi Chengyan's display of such great ambition as soon as he came back still made Qi Cheng'an feel a little displeased.
Anyway, Qi Chengyan has just returned from the fiefdom, and Qi Chengan can't let Qi Chengyan take any advantage in front of him no matter what, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for him to say it.
Therefore, in this matter, Qi Cheng'an also has to take action, since Qi Chengyan knows how to win the hearts of the people in the imperial city, then Qi Cheng'an has to take this opportunity to win over the people in the court.
Besides, the weight of the words of these ministers in the court, no matter what, is much heavier than that of the common people.
So after thinking of this, Qi Cheng'an said to his subordinates.
"In the past few days, the weather has been very good, the prince wants to hunt in the suburbs, if you are lucky, you can also hunt some wild game to honor your father, you go and help me inform the sons of the adults, if you want to follow the prince to go together, gather at the gate of the city in three days!"
"Yes, I'll do it right away!"
Qi Cheng'an's subordinates also left with a smile after hearing this, following Qi Cheng'an for many years, he could naturally understand Qi Cheng'an's true intentions.
It's fake to go out hunting, it's true to take the opportunity to win over the talents in the court, although it's just a small hunting plan, but whether they are willing to follow Qi Cheng'an depends on their performance this time.
Three days later, at the east gate of the Beiyan Imperial City, before the Qi Cheng'an people arrived, they had already seen the gate of the city, and many people were wandering there.
Each of them had horses under his crotch, and all of them were well dressed, and they looked like they were all carefully prepared for the hunt.
Qi Cheng'an rode a horse and slowly approached these people, as soon as these people saw Qi Cheng'an's arrival, they turned over and dismounted, and then saluted Qi Cheng'an in unison.
"I'll wait to see His Royal Highness the Second Prince!"
"Everyone, you are willing to hunt with this prince today, it is the honor of this prince, there are no kings and ministers on the hunting ground, only brothers, let us go to the suburbs to gallop together!"
After that, Qi Cheng'an threw a horsewhip on the horse's buttocks, the horse was in pain, and ran away, while the others also turned over on the horse again, and at the same time followed Qi Cheng'an.
In fact, Qi Cheng'an had already remembered all their identities at the first sight of these people just now, and the fathers of these sons and brothers were all relatively important officials in the court, and many of them also secretly communicated with Qi Cheng'an, otherwise they would not have gone hunting with Qi Cheng'an today.
And the reason why Qi Cheng'an asked his subordinates to solemnly inform them was also because he wanted to see if their attitudes had changed after Qi Chengyan came back.
What the facts now show is that the attitude of the majority of people has not changed, and only the few who say that they are sick at home seem to have taken a neutral state.
Qi Cheng'an and Qi Chengyan didn't seem to others to have any struggle at all, but in fact, the secret fight had already begun.
And all of this, naturally, all fell into the eyes of Murong Ye's secret guard, the secret guard was carefully cultivated by Murong Ye, how could he not see the turbulent waves beneath this calm surface.
And such a situation is destined to happen, this is almost confirmed, the only difference is in the sooner or later, and before and after it happens.
So Murong Ye's secret guard immediately secretly returned to Murong Ye's stronghold, and then told Murong Ye all these truths.
"Master Qiqi, everything is as you expected, the secret battle between the second prince and the fourth prince has begun, the two of them, one is wooing the people, the other is wooing the officials, and judging from the current situation, the two have reached the point of being evenly matched!"
"Oh, is it evenly matched, it seems that this Qi Cheng'an doesn't seem to have any great ability, he can't even handle a little brother who just came back from the fiefdom, I really thought highly of him before!"
Murong Ye has been in Taoguang for a long time, so he knows very well about the movements of the outside world.
What's more, there are also his secret guards, who are openly and secretly probing, so that Murong Ye knows all too well about the infighting between Qi Cheng'an and Qi Chengyan's brothers.
It's just that seeing that Murong Ye hasn't given instructions for the next step for a long time, Murong Ye's secret guard can't wait, because he is also afraid that he will miss any important information.
"Master, may I ask what your next instructions are, and if so, do we want to do something between the two of them?"
"You don't have to...... Don't have to do ......."
A smile appeared on Murong Ye's face, because the infighting between the two brothers made Murong Ye feel very interesting, and the situation was actually clear to Murong Ye.
At present, Qi Chengyan has the support of the people, and Qi Chengan has always had the support of officials, the two seem to have low military strength, but in the end, Qi Chengan still has to be better.
The power of the officials to speak is naturally heavier than that of the people, which is why Qi Cheng'an has the upper hand, but with such an upper hand, I don't know when it may be pulled down by Qi Chengyan.
However, no matter which side of Qi Chengyan or Qi Chengan lost, this was a happy ending for Murong Ye, and Murong Ye also happened to want to take advantage of the time when the two of them were fighting, and he could take advantage of this time to take a good rest.
It's better for these two brothers to make both sides lose, because only in this way can Murong Ye have the opportunity to further control the power of Beiyan, and as for the old emperor, he doesn't have to worry too much, that old thing Murong Ye has never paid much attention to.
"That's it, there's nothing important next, you can take someone to keep an eye on Qi Chengyan and Qi Cheng'an, and report to me their every move in the future, as for the next move, I need to see the results of their infighting before making a decision!"
"Yes, my subordinates obey!"
After finishing speaking, the dark guard left, and Murong Ye was sitting on a chair alone, still thinking about what had just happened.
He couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it, because he was interested in the infighting between the two brothers, and he also wanted to see how the relationship between these people would develop.
