Chapter 555: The Mastermind
The Prince's Mansion is called the East Palace because it is located to the east of the Imperial Palace. Of course, there are also people who take the phrase that the hidden dragon does not use and call him the hidden mansion.
A trace of red, like a dragon's dragon qi entrenched in the entire mansion!
Because the East Palace is a hidden residence, the dragon energy contained in it is second only to the Imperial Palace.
Everyone who comes to the East Palace will be involuntarily photographed by the dragon qi contained in it.
No matter how arrogant and invincible a person is, in the East Palace, it is like putting on an invisible shackle, and he will suddenly become cautious.
It is not the inanimate building that they are afraid of.
What is afraid is that the owner of this palace is also the future master of Daqian.
Prince Chengtai!
But today's prince is not in a very good mood. He sat in his study with a gloomy face.
The eunuchs and palace maids who accompanied them were very eye-catching and held their breath, for fear of suffering from the pond fish.
"Hasn't Mr. Wei come yet?"
When Prince Chengtai thought of today's events in the court, he felt unspeakably depressed in his heart.
Although he is cowardly, and his methods are very different from those of the Qiandi Pan, it does not mean that he is inflexible in thinking. From the change in the attitude of the old and new parties towards him, he keenly felt that it was not good.
Therefore, when he returned to the mansion, the first thing he did was to gather his masterminds, give advice to himself, and analyze the pros and cons.
"Your Highness!"
"The little ones have already gone to invite Mr. Wei!"
"Please rest easy, Your Highness!"
The little yellow door beside him hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and said softly.
"Yes!"
After Prince Chengtai received an affirmative answer, he nodded lightly with reassurance, and his face relaxed a lot.
The eunuchs of the Yellow Gate who accompanied him secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and the nervousness in their eyes was also reduced a lot.
The prince's mood has become calm, which is a good thing for everyone, and there is no need to tremble and walk on thin ice again.
However, they have an indescribable envy for Mr. Wei in their hearts.
Jane is in the heart of the emperor!
Although the crown prince is not a human king.
But he is the king of people in the future.
As the mastermind, Mr. Wei can win the trust of the prince, and whenever there is a major event, the prince must ask again and again.
After the prince ascends the throne and sits firmly in the Dragon Court, this Mr. Wei will definitely be able to ascend to heaven, and it is only a matter of time before he wears red and purple.
Thinking of this, the divine light in their eyes couldn't help but become distant, obviously secretly thinking in their hearts about how to get in touch with this future powerful minister and nobleman in advance.
In the future, when Mr. Wei is developed, he will also be able to follow the chicken dog to heaven.
I don't know how long it took, just when Prince Chengtai's eyes showed a trace of impatience.
The carved door of the study was pulled open from the outside.
Mr. Wei, dressed in black, with a clear complexion and a look of wisdom in his eyes, entered the study under the false guidance of the little yellow door.
"Wei Wuji has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Wei Wuji saw the prince in civilian clothes, sitting behind the bookcase, with a worried face on his face, he didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Sir is here!"
"Hurry up, please!"
"Let's go down, the lonely king and Mr. have something to discuss. But there are close snoopers, and there is no mercy!"
When Prince Chengtai saw Wei Wuji coming, his eyes couldn't help revealing a hint of joy, he hurriedly got up, helped Wei Wuji up, and welcomed him to the side of his seat, then turned his head, looked at his eyes and nose, nose and heart, seemed to be wooden, but in fact, his mind was the most agile Huangmen, his face was solemn, and his voice was cold.
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
Although these Huangmen were very curious about the next conversation between Prince Chengtai and Mr. Wei, they also knew the rules. didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly turned around and bowed his head and retreated.
However, after a while, only the prince Chengtai and the mastermind Wei Wuji were left in the study.
Wei Wuji looked at the Yellow Gate who had been driven out by Prince Chengtai, and the divine light in his eyes couldn't help but flicker a few times, but he didn't speak immediately, but showed a look of listening.
According to his experience, there must be something wrong in the court today.
Otherwise, Prince Chengtai would not have shown such an eager look.
"Sir, you're here!"
"This time, you must help the Lone King plan well!"
Prince Chengtai sat down on top of Wei Wuji, his eyes suddenly showed a glint of hope, and he said a little anxiously.
"Take your time!"
"There's no hurry!"
"Your Highness, can you tell Wei what happened in the court today?"
Wei Wuji gently bowed his head and calmed Prince Chengtai's emotions before he asked slowly.
"Here's the thing... ”
Under the appeasement of Wei Wuji, the crown prince Chengtai's mood became a lot more stable, and then he told the court everything from the king of Chengjun sending ginseng to the emperor Qianpan to issue a holy decree.
Wei Wuji didn't urge, he sat up straight, his head stretched forward, and his eyes showed a look of listening.
As Prince Chengtai spoke, his face slowly became solemn.
In the end, the fingers as white as jade subconsciously tapped on the tabletop, as if they were in thought. After a while, he seemed to wake up, looking at the expectant Prince Chengtai, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a faint disappointment:
"Your Highness!"
"You really did something wrong this time!"
Prince Chengtai's face couldn't help but stiffen, and a trace of undetectable unswerving flashed in his eyes, but he finally showed a look of listening.
"Please correct me!"
Wei Wuji seemed to notice the unswerving on Prince Chengtai's face, and he didn't seem to notice it, but he still continued:
"First of all, His Highness chose not to help each other because he was afraid of offending the other party. ”
"However, has Your Highness ever thought that the matter of the old and new party disputes has existed for a long time, and even said that all this was deliberately done by our Majesty!"
"The so-called new party, after all, is weak. If it weren't for His Majesty's secret support behind his back, I am afraid that he would have been suppressed by the old meritorious deeds a long time ago, how could it be possible to form a confrontation between the government and the opposition?"
"This!"
"It can't be, right?"
"What my father hates most is to form a party for personal gain, how can he support the new party behind his back?"
Prince Chengtai's eyes couldn't help but widen, looking at Wei Wuji, and asked with a look of disbelief.
"The scourge of friends has existed since ancient times!"
"Naturally, this dynasty is no exception. As far as Wei Chen knows, there are royalists, princelings, vassal kings, and the Confucian Donglin party. ”
"It is precisely because of the existence of the friends that the situation between the DPRK and China is surging. ”
"Your Majesty, you are a wise lord, and naturally you also understand the harm of friends. But how can a person have no friends, and how can he not be a party if he has friends?"
"Moreover, when Kong Sheng was alive, he once said, kiss each other!"
This hadith also made many people more unscrupulous. ”
"When relatives and friends make mistakes, the first thing they think of is not to punish and report, but to do everything possible to cover up and conceal it!"
It is precisely for this reason that the emperors of the past generations hated the friends very much, but there was no way to eliminate the friends. ”
"However, today's saint is worthy of a generation of saints, although he has no way to put an end to the scourge of his friends, but he is good at weighing. ”
"The new party was cultivated in order to balance the excessive strength of the old party in the DPRK and China. ”
"I see!"
Prince Chengtai bowed his head gently, indicating that he understood, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
"The Lone King has understood this. ”
"But the Lone King still can't figure it out, what is wrong with the Lone King?"
"Your Highness!"
"His Royal Highness only thought of the lesser of two evils, but he forgot that if the two don't help each other, the two are completely offended!"
"Moreover, the king of people let His Highness make a decision, why don't you have the idea of taking the school for Your Highness... ”
"His Royal Highness seems to be tactful, but isn't it without his own principles and positions?"
"In this way, I'm afraid it won't be liked by the king!"
Wei Wuji looked at Prince Chengtai, who had a confused look on his face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The prince though merciful!
It's kind to yourself!
But after all, it is not the master.
In the coming day, if the great dry falls into his hands, I am afraid that it will really overturn.
And if you make such a mistake, I'm afraid you will be killed in the future!
"Indeed!"
Prince Chengtai's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, he nodded heavily.
"That's what the gentleman said!"
"The Lone King has indeed done something wrong!"
No wonder King Lone saw a trace of disappointment in his father's eyes. ”
Seeing that Prince Chengtai humbly accepted, Wei Wuji nodded lightly and continued:
"Your Highness has done a second thing wrong!"
"What else did the Lone King do wrong?"
"Please also ask Mr. Wei to teach the Lonely King!"
Prince Chengtai's eyes showed a look of shock, and he hurriedly got up and bowed to Wei Wuji, and said with gratitude.
"Your Highness's second mistake!"
"It's that there is no clear voice for the matter of Si Tu's punishment in the court!"
"Oh!"
Prince Chengtai's eyes showed a look of thought, and there was obvious surprise on his face.
He just couldn't understand what kind of mistakes he had made in handling this matter.
"In the public service, the "Green Seedlings Law" can enrich the national treasury and reduce the displacement of people, which is a rare good thing. His Royal Highness, as the prince of a country, naturally has to support it!"
Wei Wuji sorted out his thoughts and said slowly.
Prince Chengtai bowed his head gently, obviously agreeing with this.
"Selfishness!"
"Situ Xing's "Tui En Order" weakened the strength of the vassal kings of the world, and also made His Royal Highness's position as the crown prince more stable. ”
"It's thanks to Your Highness. ”
"Your Highness deserves to be maintained!"
"Therefore, this matter, whether it is public or private, His Highness should come forward to defend it!"
"But Your Highness, because you cherish your feathers, you didn't come forward, I'm afraid many people will have other thoughts about Your Highness!"
Wei Wuji looked at Prince Chengtai, who had a listening look in his eyes, and said with a worried expression.
"This!"
"This!"
Prince Chengtai's eyes couldn't help shrinking, and his face showed even more shock.
As Wei Wuji said, I am afraid that many people are already disappointed in themselves as the prince, and there are many wavering people who will also throw themselves into the arms of others.
Thinking of this, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart.
"Please teach me, sir!"
"Please teach me, sir!"
"Lonely King now, what should I do?"
Wei Wuji didn't sell it, and said softly:
"What Your Highness has to do now is to gather the hearts of the people who have been scattered. ”
"A great reward is given to the prisoner. ”
"Only by doing such a move of buying horse bones can we stabilize people's hearts!"
Prince Chengtai's eyes couldn't help but stagnate, but he was not stingy, knowing that now was also the time to feel distressed about his belongings, he couldn't help nodding heavily, and said affirmatively:
"The Lone King will arrange it!"
Immediately, his face changed again, and he said sincerely with a look of admiration.
"Mr. Gu Wangde, he is really like Zhang Liang, the ancestor of Gao!"
"The wisdom of the gentleman is unparalleled in the world. ”
When Wei Wuji heard that the prince praised him so much, his face couldn't help but show a look of honor, but he still shook his head lightly and said with some embarrassment:
"Best!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in love. ”
"Although Wei is a little witty, he is not a real top mastermind!"
"Oh... ”
Prince Chengtai's eyes showed a look of shock, and he said with some surprise and curiosity:
"Sir's wisdom is not a top strategist!"
"What kind of demeanor is that of a top strategist?"
Wei Wuji's eyes looked at the sky, revealing a blurry color, as if he had fallen into a deep memory, and after a while, he said faintly:
"Wei was once fortunate to know someone!"
"That person's surname is Zhuge and his name is Wolong, and his wisdom is all over the sky. Astronomy and geography, marching formations, all of them are understandable, and they all know everything. ”
"Although there is no strength in the hands of the chicken, one person is enough to fight an army of 100,000. ”
"Oh, there are such strange people in this world?"
"Ten thousand enemies and the lone king know!"
"It's a general who is proficient in the art of war and good at battle formations!"
"Mr. Wolong has such a high opinion of this Mr. Wolong, who has never met before!"
"Could it be that he is not as talented as ten generals?"
Prince Chengtai was a little unconvinced, and asked with some curiosity.
Wei Wuji glanced at his face full of details, could it be that Prince Chengtai was not angry, after all, what he said was too exaggerated, not to mention him, even he was skeptical at the beginning.
"Your Highness doesn't know anything!"
"This Mr. Wolong is far more valuable in Wei's heart than ten generals!"
"He is the mastermind who has been difficult to come out of for 500 years!"
Seeing that Wei Wuji admired Mr. Wolong so much, Prince Chengtai's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked with some curiosity.
"I don't know where this man is now, but the lonely king has ordered someone to find him... ”
Wei Wuji glanced at Prince Chengtai with a strange look in his eyes, how could such a person send a few eunuchs to invite him? Although there was a little dissatisfaction in his heart, he still shook his head and said truthfully:
"I don't know!"
"This person is a dragon who sees the head but does not see the end!"
"No one knows exactly where he went. ”
"Don't say that His Highness wants to see him, I'm afraid that our Majesty is also looking for him. It's a pity that this person seems to have evaporated from the world, and even if he mobilizes the power of the three mountains and five mountains, there is no way to find a trace of him. ”
Wei Wuji said with emotion.
"If His Royal Highness can get the assistance of Mr. Wolong, he will definitely be able to become a generation of masters in the future. ”
