King Jing held the sunspot in his hand, held it in the air, did not fall for a long time, suddenly threw the sunspot in his hand, and laughed: "The overall situation is still there, even if you lose another corner, it doesn't hurt." Mr. Li, Xia Xiang's corner must be guarded. ”

Mr. Li also put down the chess pieces, smiled slightly, picked up the jade pot and poured a cup of tea for King Jing's Dehua white porcelain teacup: "Xia Xiang's corners can be guaranteed to be foolproof." ”

King Jing took the white porcelain teacup, played with it in his hand for a while, and drank all the tea in the cup: "Why does Mr. believe in Xia Xiang so much?" ”

"Xia Xiang is my closed disciple." Mr. Li stood up, the sunlight sprinkled on him through the window lattice, it was Li Dingshan, Li Dingshan held the Ruyao teacup, and smiled calmly, "If I don't have confidence in Xia Xiang, I don't have confidence in myself." Xia Xiang is talented and intelligent, and he is a rare talent. ”

"Xia Xiang can really be a big thing?" The white porcelain teacup in King Jing's hand is engraved with a picture of a flying lady, and the lady rebounds the pipa, wanting to fly away, lifelike, "He is just a fledgling young man, how can he be entrusted with a heavy responsibility?" ”

"The prince doesn't believe in Li's vision?" Li Dingshan laughed, and there was a sense of self-satisfaction in his laughter, "Three or two things can know Xia Xiang's talent, one of them, Xia Xiang came to Beijing from Zhongshan Village all the way, not only got acquainted with Zhang Hou, Shen Bao and others, but also met Cao Shujun at first sight, and because of the miraculous effect of the medicine bed and medicine chair, he was recognized by Mr. Jin Jia, and saved Cao Yongguo's life. At present, although the medicine bed and medicine chair have not seen a miraculous effect on the emperor's condition, it is also because the emperor's condition is more serious. Second, Xia Xiang was calm and unhurried under the complicated situation, and he never messed up, and he had the style of a general. Third, and see the conflict between Wang Dang Street, Xia Xiang advanced and retreated to a certain extent, handled it properly, and first appeared left and right Fengyuan long-sleeved and good dancing official style, Xia Xiang and his people, as soon as they encountered the wind and clouds, they would fly to the clouds and achieve a great event. ”

"I hope so." King Jing put down the white porcelain teacup in his hand and pressed his forehead, "Now that the emperor is critically ill, Hou Pingpan will take control of the government and implement the new law." The third brother is in charge of Wutai, blocking the way of speech, and the suffering of the people cannot be transmitted to the emperor's ears. The new law harms the people a lot, misleading the country and the people, but Hou Pingpan let the imperial history book tout the new law, but the emperor listened to the slander, and thought that the new law was a good prescription for the peace of the country. Not to mention that the people around Shangjing are miserable, I heard that the people of Zhending Mansion were harmed by the new law, they couldn't pay taxes, and the people were struggling to make a living, and there was a human tragedy of selling their children to pay off their debts, alas......"

The Great Xia royal family, between the emperor and the prince, is sometimes referred to as brothers.

"I transferred from Lingshou to Zhending Mansion, and went north all the way back to Beijing along Zhending Mansion. Li Dingshan's eyes were firm and his expression was resolute, "It is precisely because of this that Xia Xiang shoulders a heavy responsibility." I also hope that the prince will focus on the overall situation and forgive Xia Xiang for his disrespectfulness to the king. ”

"I don't like to hear this, sir, is this saying that this king is a person who cares about it, and he is a person who will repay him?" King Jing's face sank, and his face showed displeasure, "The matter between Xia Xiang and Xian'er is just a battle of will, just like a child's house, this king will care about such a trivial matter?" If this is the case, you, Mr. Li, will not assist this king. ”

"Yes, the prince is worried about the country and the people, and he is a model for hundreds of officials." Li Dingshan saluted respectfully, "Li is willing to serve the prince." ”

"Hehe, I said that I was working for this king, but I still made this king easy to find? Mr. came to the capital from Zhongshan Village, and hid for more than ten days before coming to see the king, causing the king to send people everywhere to inquire about your whereabouts, and thought that something had happened to you, and even Zhongshan Village asked people to check ...... What do you have to say? King Jing waved his hand and came to the window with his hand: "There is no need to say useless flattery and nonsense, let me ask you, does Xia Xiang have the heart to serve the country with the responsibility of saving the people in the world?" I am worried that he does not have the courage and responsibility to speak up for the people of Li and offend the powerful. ”

"Lord Wang, when Li returns to Beijing, there are also some personal matters to deal with first. In the past three years in Zhongshan Village, Li has always been concerned about the prince. Li Dingshan said categorically, with a resolute look on his face, "Xia Xiang has it, there must be." As long as he is not deliberately embarrassed by Wen Changju, his name will fall to Sun Shan. ”

"Hmph, regardless of whether it's true or not, this king counts you as having a heart. Now that the court is in trouble, the emperor is in danger, if you don't live in seclusion anymore, you will be a courtier in vain and a scholar in vain...... Speaking of Dabi, if Wen Changju really intends to make things difficult for Xia Xiang, if Xia Xiang falls first, wouldn't his chess piece be even inferior to Xie Jianhua? King Jing suddenly turned around and looked directly into Li Dingshan's eyes, "Sir, I really don't need to come forward for the matter of Xia Xiang's big competition?" ”

"There is no need to work for the prince, judging from the current situation, it is better for people to think that Xia Xiang is better alone, and it is not appropriate for the outside world to speculate that he has anything to do with the prince, which is the most beneficial to Xia Xiang's growth. Even after I separated from him from Zhongshan Village, I never saw him again, and only helped him deal with some things behind his back. "Li Dingshan thinks about it more long-term, the simpler Xia Xiang's background is, the more innocent the better, so that it will be more convenient for Xia Xiang to act," Although letting outsiders know that Xia Xiang has the support of the prince behind him may be more discouraged by some people who are not good for Xia Xiang, it is not conducive to Xia Xiang's experience. In my humble opinion, if there is no major matter, it is related to Xia Xiang's life and death, otherwise the prince should not come forward. ”

Although the third prince already knows about Xia Xiang and his teacher-student relationship, and asked Wen Changju to deliberately obstruct Xia Xiang's path to Jinshi, but the third prince only knows one and does not know the other, and only regards Xia Xiang as his student, and does not know how close his relationship with King Jing is, let alone what big things he and King Jing are plotting for.

If the Third Prince knows about his relationship with King Jing, then there is no doubt that Xia Xiang's Jinshi Road and Official Career Road will be completely sealed by the Third Prince. Although the third prince may not be able to cover the sky with one hand, the third prince really wants to do his best to stop the political road of a nobody, and King Jing will not fall out with the third prince because of Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang will definitely be very unfortunate to become an outcast.

Li Dingshan was slightly apologetic in his heart, from the moment he served as Mr. Xia Xiang's teacher, Xia Xiang engraved his brand, and he could no longer get rid of the fate of being influenced by him. Fortunately, if it was just his identity as a student, the third prince would not have to kill Xia Xiang, after all, compared with King Jing, Xia Xiang's threat to the third prince was much smaller, and as long as Xia Xiang agreed to the conditions of the third prince, he could turn enemies into friends with the third prince.

King Jing is different, there is no possibility of resolving the hidden danger between King Jing and the Three Princes. If the three princes can inherit the throne, there is no doubt that the three princes will be the first to take King Jing. Not only is King Jing's throne not guaranteed, but his life is in danger, and even the king is afraid that he will not be spared. Similarly, if King Jing or King Jian finally inherited the throne, the third prince would not be able to escape the fate of being deposed, and it would not be surprising that he lost his life.

Li Dingshan sighed in his heart for a while, when Taizu passed on the throne of Taizong, it was rumored that Taizong forced Taizu to die before sitting in the world. As soon as the precedent of brother and brother is set, there will be endless troubles. Taizong passed on the throne of Zhenzong, Zhenzong passed on the throne of the current saint, if there is a prince on the saint today, it is good, but the saint has no son, and suddenly suffers from a serious illness, Daxia has a precedent of brother and brother, and the saint is located in any prince except King Jing, which is in line with the rules. King Jing is older than the emperor, he is the elder brother, and it is not in line with the example of the elder brother and the younger brother, but the emperor named the son of King Jing Xia Cun as the king, obviously intending to let the king join the battle for the throne.

Therefore, several princes who have always been brothers, friends and brothers, still love each other on the surface, but secretly they are tense and have staged a colorful drama for the throne.

Originally, several princes had their own duties, the eldest prince King Jing was in charge of the military department, and the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei and Hedong Road, the third prince Xingwang was in charge of the ministry of officials, and the Yin of Shangjing Mansion, and the fourth prince Qingwang was in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites, and also led the imperial historical platform. The fifth prince, King Yun, was in charge of the Criminal Department and the Household Department, and was also the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Although the four princes were nominally in charge of various ministries and had official positions, in fact, the four did not specifically deal with political affairs.

King Jing is in charge of the military department, which seems to be a high and powerful position, but in fact, the military department of Great Xia has no real power, and it is the Privy Council that is responsible for the transfer of troops and generals, and the Privy Council is equivalent to the highest military department of Great Xia, and the military department is only responsible for the implementation and good things such as transporting grain, completing the maintenance and drawing money after the order of the Privy Council to transfer troops and dispatch generals. The post of Xuanfu envoy on Hebei and Hedong Road is to inspect the locality, ask the officials and the people and the commander of the local army.

The Three Princes and Star Kings are in charge of the Ministry of Officials and Shangjing Mansion Yin, but they are really powerful. Needless to say, the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the selection and promotion of officials in the world, since the Three Princes have been in charge of the Ministry of Officials, the promotion and transfer of officials have been continuous, some people have been demoted, and naturally some people have been promoted.

The post of Yin of Shangjing Mansion is responsible for the political affairs and public security of the capital, and he has great authority. Although it is located under the Shangshu and the squire, the quality is not high, but it is almost equal to the Yamen of the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Yamen of the Infantry Army, and the Governor's Mansion of the Nine Gates, and all the complaints in Daxia must be submitted to the Shangjing Mansion first, which is equivalent to a small criminal department in the Shangjing Mansion, which undertakes part of the functions of the Criminal Department, and is even more arbitrary than the Criminal Department. Moreover, Shangjing Mansion is in charge of public security and political affairs in the capital, and even the affairs of the six ministries, as long as it involves the security and political affairs of the capital, Shangjing Mansion can intervene, but it is not overreach!

What's more, the Shangjing Mansion can refuse to carry out the orders of the six ministries and even the prime minister on the grounds of endangering the public security and political affairs of the capital. There is no trivial matter at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the position of Yin in Beijing is indeed extremely important.

When the Great Xia had not yet gone north, the capital was Lin'an, Taizong had served as the Yin of Lin'an Mansion as a prince for more than ten years, and later Taizu saw that Taizong was gradually becoming stronger, and Lin'an Mansion was already under the control of Taizong, and wanted to move the capital to Chang'an, but under the opposition of Taizong, no one in the Manchu Dynasty agreed to move the capital. Taizu had no choice but to withdraw his fate.

The third prince served as the Yin of Shangjing Mansion for only half a year, and there was a young Yin Fu of Shangjing Mansion who was specifically in charge of Shangjing Mansion, and Shangjing Mansion was not controlled by the third prince. The emperor's mind has always been like this, presumably although the emperor trusts the three princes and Hou Pingpan, he does not want to hand over all the authority of the country to the three princes and Hou Pingpan. Although Hou Pingpan was the prime minister of the Pingzhang affairs under the Tongzhongshu Sect, he also appointed Su Cheng as the deputy minister of the governor's affairs to contain Hou Pingpan.

In the same way, although the five princes control the Privy Council and have the right to transfer troops, after the transfer of troops, the specific implementation is ordered by King Jing, which is also a trend of checks and balances.

The situation in Beijing is clearer than Li Dingshan, just because Li Dingshan has been an official in the capital for several years, and has been sent to the local government to serve as a magistrate for many years, and has three years of hiding in Zhongshan Village, quietly watching the changes in the situation in the capital.

Compared with King Jing and King Xing, King Qing of the Fourth Prince and King Yun of the Fifth Prince do not ask about specific affairs, and the yamen in charge of the two of them is in charge of the deputy regardless of major or small matters, unless there is a major matter that needs to alarm the emperor, it is a small matter. Daxia has been peaceful for many years, there have been no wars for decades, and there have been no natural disasters**, and the four seas have been peaceful, so that the two of them are also happy to be a free and easy prince.

It's just that after the emperor was seriously ill, the third prince first began to ask about the affairs of the ministry on the grounds of sharing the emperor's worries, not to mention the size of the ministry, and even the big and small matters of the Shangjing Mansion had to be paid for and summarized to him. What's more, the third prince also intervened in this year's big competition!

Dabi is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, Zhigong Ju Wenchangju is also the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the Four Princes Qingwang, the Four Princes have always been ruled by the arch, but suddenly found that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wenchangju is not familiar with him, and does not listen to his words, completely as if he does not exist.

King Qing will inevitably be a little angry, the premise of vertical arch rule is that everything is under control, and the loss of mastery of the vertical arch is not called vertical arch and rule, so that the general trend has gone. King Qing's temper has always been very good, he is known to everyone as Mr. Smiling, few people have seen him angry, and if King Qing is angry, the consequences are somewhat serious.

King Qing began to take power.

King Qing thought that it would be easy to collect power, after all, it was his own one-third of an acre of land, which was the sphere of influence that the emperor handed over to him, but he realized that the problem was much more troublesome than expected, one was that the emperor was seriously ill and could no longer administer justice, and the other was that the star king refused to let go of power. He was very unhappy, and found the palace of the third prince to make it clear to the Star King face to face, and the Star King opened the door to welcome the guests and agreed to the things mentioned by King Qing one by one.

King Qing thought that it was done, but when he went back, he realized that the Star King was just talking, and all the matters within his sphere of influence, the officials still reported everything to the Star King, and the Star King decided, and no one cared about his opinion.

King Qing was very angry, so he went to King Yun to complain, seek the understanding of King Yun, and strive for King Yun to become his ally. Unexpectedly, King Yun was dancing a sword at home, wearing a robe, with a clear breeze and bright moon on his face, full of fairy energy, and he expressed his indignation at what happened to King Qing and persuaded him with good words, so that King Qing should not be trapped by the floating clouds in front of him, and dare to pursue the supreme avenue.

The avenue is not in the palace, nor in the palace, but on the top of the mountain, in the depths of the forest, in the hinterland of the grassland, at the ends of the earth...... King Qing was covered by King Yun's wonderful words, and he returned in a huff.

Li Dingshan didn't believe that Qingyun would stop there, let alone that King Yun really wanted to be bent on the Tao and not ask about the world. If the emperor is healthy, there will be at least ten or twenty years of spring and autumn, and King Yun will not have too many ideas, and after twenty years, he will be nearly fifty years old, and it is impossible to inherit the throne. Moreover, in ten or twenty years, the emperor may give birth to a prince.

It's just that the emperor suddenly became seriously ill unexpectedly, as the youngest royal brother, the most in line with the order of the succession of the elder brother and the younger brother, it is impossible for the King of Yun to be unmoved, and judging from the current situation, the Star King is so eager to succeed to the throne, with the strength of the Star King, if he really becomes the emperor, several princes are afraid that they will no longer be at ease with the same as now, and the Star King will most likely take away the power of the prince, or move out of the capital to a remote place and never be allowed to enter Beijing, which is also reasonable.

If you go one step further and force a few princes to die to stabilize the throne, it is not impossible. Although Taizong treated Taizu's two princes well, one was 9,000 years old and the other was the Eight Sages King, it was also because Taizu's eldest son was imprisoned by Taizong to death, which triggered countless imperial history books, and Taizong had to do it because of his reputation.

Li Dingshan is the clearest, among the four princes, although King Jing is the oldest, the one who has the most strength to compete for the throne with the Star King is none other than King Jing. It's just that King Jing, as the emperor's elder brother, is not in line with the example of a brother and a brother, and I am afraid that he has no hope of inheriting the throne. The emperor named Xia Cunxian as the king, and he also deliberately set up a maze, making people mistakenly think that the emperor intended to succeed Xia Cunxian as the crown prince. It's just that Xia Cunxian is far from being compared with several princes, whether it is the city, virtue or prestige.

With Li Dingshan's understanding of the emperor, the power of heaven is unpredictable, and the sacred heart is difficult to guess, and the emperor is afraid that he will not look down on Xia Cunxian's debauchery and incompetence.

Now the situation in the capital is full of fog, the emperor has been seriously ill for many days, and the outside world has no way of knowing what his condition is, except for the emperor's closest eunuchs and the star king. No, there is also the emperor's most trusted imperial doctor, Mr. Jin Jia. Xia Xiang got acquainted with Jin Jia, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. He helped Cao Yongguo make a medicine bed and medicine chair, but Jin Jia used it to treat the emperor, if it is effective, it is naturally very good, if it is useless, the emperor will blame it, Xia Xiang will definitely accept it on his behalf.

Nowadays, the situation in the capital, because the emperor is critically ill and the wind is getting tighter, showing a trend of pulling a hair and moving the whole body, Xia Xiang is in it, with his talent, should have the power of self-preservation, although Xia Xiang is his student, but has not yet fallen into the court dispute, whether the star king wants to inherit the throne and fight for the world, or inherit the throne after governing the world, he needs talents for his use, and the world can become a saint. It was Li Dingshan who wanted Xia Xiang to enter the court with an innocent body with no background and background, so that it would be more convenient to act.

He was friendly with King Jing, but the Star King didn't know it, not only the Star King, but King Qing and King Yun were also in the dark.

King Jing nodded and said: "Okay, it's okay if this king doesn't show up, it's okay not to show up, but Xia Xiang's chess piece must be placed in the right position, and don't make a mistake like Xie Jianhua." Okay, let's go and see what happened to Xie Jianhua, this king is tired and needs to take a rest. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, retire below." Li Dingshan walked out of King Jing's study, led the way by Sun Xidang, and went straight to the secret room.
