As soon as Xu Maogong's words came out, Qin Qiong and the others couldn't help but feel scared for a while. After all, they still know the truth that a companion is like a tiger.

"I think I'm wrong when you say that. Now I express my strong support for Li Ke's boy. Will it make the emperor have scruples? Cheng Yanjin said worriedly.

"The vein of Empress Changsun is supported by the Long family. However, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is a little difficult to support alone, and only Wei Zheng has always supported him. ”

"Even Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, married his daughter to His Royal Highness the King of Qi. But now Li Jing has been disarmed and returned to the field. ”

"So at this time, His Royal Highness King Qi is at an absolute disadvantage. And it is a wise choice for you to stand up and support His Royal Highness King Qi. ”

"Because what the emperor wants to see is balance, not a single family. And if we all support His Royal Highness King Qi as much as you do, then the emperor will not be so relieved. Li Tao said after waving his hand.

"Li Tao is right, we are all people with heavy soldiers. If we support His Royal Highness King Qi one-sidedly, then it is bound to threaten the position of the crown prince. ”

"This is something that the emperor absolutely does not want to see, so we must remain neutral, only in this way will the emperor be reassured." Qin Qiong nodded and said.

To put it bluntly, the emperor is worried that he will become the second emperor. If he is no longer there one day, as for which son will be the emperor, maybe he doesn't care too much. Wei Chigong said.

"The most ruthless emperor family, how many emperors died at the hands of their own sons. At least not to mention the farther, the closest one is Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui. Qin Qiong nodded and said.

"Say, brother, it's good to count your heads. What we should do is up to you. Cheng Yanjin opened his mouth and said to Li Tao.

"In the battle between His Royal Highness the King of Qi and the crown prince, I am afraid that the final victory may not be the crown prince. Even if he is behind the support of the Long Shi clan. Li Tao said.

"Why do you think so, the family has been around for thousands of years. It's not just anyone who can shake them. ”

"Now His Royal Highness the King of Qi has become close to the Shandong clan, coupled with the exclusion of the Guanlong clan. I don't think he necessarily has any advantage. Qin Qiong said after waving his hand.

"Second Brother Qin is right, I don't think Li Ke's kid may be able to succeed." Wei Chigong nodded and said.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi relied on his own strength to suppress the Shandong clan in Qizhou. Do you think it's an accident? ”

"Yan Tingming, the imperial historian of the Imperial History Tower, ostensibly has a grudge against His Royal Highness the King of Qi for killing his son. But have you noticed that everything he does is fulfilling His Royal Highness King Qi. ”

"The Langya royal family has now sworn allegiance to His Royal Highness King Qi. Coupled with the Lanling Xiao family, I am afraid that even the Qinghe Cui family is already attached to His Royal Highness King Qi. Li Tao opened his mouth and said to everyone.

"This is impossible, Qinghe Cui's parent, Sun Cui Yongjian, once defected to Li Ke's kid. But in the end, it was not reused. ”

Now he has cast himself under the door of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. is now serving as the envoy of the Seven Prefectures Festival in Qizhou, which was also deliberately arranged by His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"So if you want to say that the Qinghe Cui family is supporting His Royal Highness the Prince, I believe it." Cheng Yanjin shook his head and said.

"In vain, you are still the son-in-law of the Qinghe Cui family, and you can't even understand such a simple thing. If Cui Yongjian is a person from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you think he can gain a foothold in Qizhou? Li Tao looked at Cheng Yanjin helplessly and said.

"Didn't you say that Cui Yongjian was also arranged by Li Ke's kid. If that's the case, then this kid is too scary. Cheng Yanjin said in surprise.

"Cheng Yanjin, I see that you have a jade pendant on your body, which should not be an ordinary thing. Why don't you show it and give us a long insight? Li Tao pointed to Cheng Biting Jin's waist and said.

Hearing Li Tao mention the jade pendant on his waist, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but be stunned. But in the end, he took out the jade pendant and put it on the table for the three of them to watch.

Yu Chigong stretched out his hand and picked up the jade pendant, looked at it back and forth, and said: "It's a high-quality emerald, but the carved pattern is a little too weird." Wasted this fine piece of material. ”

"This pattern should be the ancient Lei Zu Qiangliang, His Royal Highness the King of Qi carved this pattern to you, there should be some deep intentions, right?" Li Tao asked Cheng Yanjin with a smile.

"When you say that, I think of it, I once saw Wei Zheng's body by chance, and there seems to be a piece of such a jade pendant. It's just that the pattern is different. Qin Qiong said.

"It should all be from the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and only those who His Royal Highness the King of Qi can trust are eligible to get this jade pendant." Li Tao opened his mouth and said to Qin Qiong.

"I said Cheng Biting Jin, my brothers all treat you as a brother. Do you still want to hide something from us? Yu Chigong opened his mouth and said to Cheng Yanjin.

Cheng Yanjin stood up, glared at Wei Chigong angrily and said: "I, Cheng Yanjin, am not that kind of person, when the relationship between our brothers is the most important." ”

This jade pendant was indeed given by Li Ke's kid, but he didn't explain what this jade pendant represented. Just say that carrying it with you will be useful in critical moments. ”

"It seems that my guess is right, His Royal Highness King Qi still has a force in the dark. And this force is afraid that it has infiltrated the Taiji Palace. ”

"And the real use of this jade pendant is that mysterious power, which will not harm the person who wears the jade pendant. And it will be carefully protected. Li Tao said.

"It's still good for you to have a melon seed in your head, and this jade pendant has been on my body for a while. But I really didn't see any use for him. ”

"If you say that, I really can't just leave it at home. lest at the critical moment, people don't know who I Cheng Biting Jin is. Cheng Yanjin said with a laugh.

"Li Tao, you can just say what you want to say. All of you here are your own brothers, and there is nothing that cannot be said directly. Qin Qiong said.

"In that case, I'll share my thoughts. Since the emperor wants to see us remain neutral, then we should remain neutral. ”

"If you don't bite the gold in the process, you have already expressed your thoughts, so continue to defend His Royal Highness King Qi. Maybe this is what the emperor wants to see the most. Li Tao said.

"Why are you talking so unpleasantly, won't you go around in circles?" Wei Chigong said with an unhappy face.

"My choice is to support His Royal Highness King Qi, but I can't usually show it in the slightest. At the critical moment, we can be a mysterious card for His Royal Highness King Qi. Li Tao said to everyone in a low voice.
