"Lord Gao, has there been any movement on the side of the ninth and second children recently?" A man asked, standing behind a screen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gao Shangzhi sat comfortably on the chair, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "As we expected, the two of them have already fought. ”

"Oh? How to fight? ”

King Qing ordered someone to kill Shi Zhan's subordinates, so as to provoke Shi Zhan, which caused a conflict between Shi Zhan and His Majesty, and King Yan personally visited Shi Zhan after he was scolded by His Majesty with a rod, intending to win over. King Qing and King Yan have been secretly wooing the ministers of the court, in order to consolidate their strength. ”

"The fiercer these two fight, the better, so that this king can reap the benefits of the fisherman." The voice was a bit sommy.

"King Qing relied on the support of the old clan and the military power in his hands, so he didn't take King Yan in his eyes at all. As for King Yan, Zhang Bao has been running to King Yan's mansion recently, presumably already on King Yan's side. ”

"Last time you told me that the old thing asked you for your suggestion to Li Chu, although you didn't express your position, it seems that Zhang Bao did make a statement."

"That's right, King Qing is narrow-minded and ruthless, with Zhang Bao's wit, it is impossible to choose someone like King Qing as his master."

"Zhang Bao is not right-minded and ambitious, so he shouldn't really help the second child."

Gao Shangzhi gently put down the cup, looked at the figure behind the screen, and said: "This is natural, King Yan has a weak personality, if Zhang Bao wins the bet and holds King Yan and waits, he can hold the power, one person under ten thousand people, this wishful thinking is really good." ”

"Hehe, if he can calculate again, isn't he also in the hands of the tall man?"

"Your Highness has won the award, or Your Highness's credit, all this is as Your Highness expected."

"Lao Jiuyi has always held himself very high, and he has never taken us brothers seriously. However, judging from his current movements, it is very likely that if he fails to win the throne in the future, Lao Jiu will wait until the old thing dies and launch a mutiny to seek the throne. ”

"What His Royal Highness said is entirely possible, King Qing now has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and his strength should not be underestimated, if he fails to win the throne, it is very likely to force the palace to usurp the throne."

"Liu Rong of the patrol battalion is already a member of Lao Jiu, as long as Liu Rong is here, the gate of Yecheng is equivalent to the gate of Lao Jiu's house, which can be opened and closed at any time."

"How does His Highness know that Liu Rong is King Qing's person?"

"If this king can't even think of this, how can he fight with the two of them? I have already sent someone to keep an eye on Liu Rong, he has long been in contact with Lao Jiu, Shi Zhan's men were killed a few days ago, isn't it a good show that Liu Rong was ordered to play by Lao Jiu? This little thing still can't be hidden from this king. ”

"It seems that King Qing has also planned carefully, on the one hand, he is trying to win the favor of His Majesty, and on the other hand, he is preparing to usurp the throne, he is really trying his best. On the day Shi Zhan's men were killed, King Qing specially sent a fox fur to the palace for His Majesty, and it is said that His Majesty liked it very much. ”

"Lao Jiu has always been very ambitious, if the old thing hadn't seen him wild and untamable, how could he drive him to Li Cheng? But over the years, he has learned to be sleek. ”

"Since His Royal Highness knows that Liu Rong is King Qing's person, do you want to find a way to get rid of Liu Rong first?"

"No, Liu Rong is very useful, if he dies, who will watch the city gate for Lao Jiu?"

"What His Royal Highness means, I don't really understand, Liu Rong is King Qing's person, keep him, he won't help His Highness, why don't you cut off King Qing's arm?"

"If I cut off Lao Jiu's arm, how can he fight the death of the second child? And I secretly have to help the second child get the throne first. What I want is Lao Jiu usurping the throne, he doesn't usurp the throne, where will I have the opportunity? Master Gao should understand that my mother has been in the harem for many years and has never been favored, and the old thing is even more unkind to me. Even if the second and ninth are all dead before the old thing returns to the west, the throne will not be my turn, so I have to wait for the old thing to die, and watch the second and ninth two fight to the death and come back to life, I will have a chance. ”

"His Highness's foresight is really admirable."

"As for the second one, in the eyes of the old thing, he may be a more suitable candidate. After all, the second child looks honest, although the old thing has obviously stepped into the coffin with half a foot, but he must be eager to live for another hundred years, and occupy the throne for a hundred more years, the second child at least will not want to use the method of forcing the palace to win the throne, and there are more people in the court who support the second child, and the old thing will naturally favor the second child. ”

"I think Your Majesty takes a fancy precisely because King Yan has no military power in his hands."

"The people who support the second child are all Han cultural officials, and none of them can lead the troops to fight in a serious way, so he ran to Shi Zhan, just because he took a fancy to the tens of thousands of horses in Shi Zhan's hands, with the second child's mind, it was definitely not his own idea to win over Shi Zhan."

"Hehe, with Zhang Leopard here, how can King Yan not know where his weakness is? If he didn't have the support of those who controlled the army, even if he sat on the dragon chair one day, I am afraid that he would not be able to sit safely. With Zhang Bao giving him advice, King Yan has a better chance of winning. ”

"Shi Zhan is a Han man, but he didn't expect to become a key figure who will affect the future court, which is really ridiculous to think about."

"Your Highness, don't underestimate Shi Zhan, although he is not born to His Majesty, but His Majesty loves him very much, otherwise he is a Han man, how can he hold tens of thousands of troops and crown him as the Marquis of Xihua."

"This king never underestimates anyone, I heard that he has a son named Shi Min, who is an enemy of ten thousand people, I don't know if this situation is true."

"What His Highness said should be right. I only have a few faces with him, but when I look closely, I am really a dragon and a phoenix among people, and his bearing is extraordinary. Yesterday, the spies came to report that he competed with all the generals in Shi Zhan's army, won the championship in one fell swoop, bravely crowned the three armies, and was able to pull apart the divine bow of Emperor Taizu. ”

"Hehehe, I didn't expect Shi Zhan and that Han slut to give birth to such a powerful son, which is really much beyond the expectations of this king."

"Shi Zhan has always been brave and strategic, and it is not surprising that he can teach such a son. I wonder what Your Highness has planned? ”

The man said one word unusually calmly: "Wait! ”

"Your Highness has endured it for so many years, and he is still so patient, which makes me very impressed." Gao Shangzhi took another sip of tea.

"The old thing treats our mother and son badly, and never looks at this king more. In terms of origin, fame, and strength, this king can't compare to the second and ninth children, if they are stronger, it is tantamount to asking for their own death. Patience is the greatest ability of this king, hehe, if Sima Yi didn't have enough patience, how could this Cao Wei's country fall into the hands of his Sima clan? ”

"His Royal Highness is reasonable, but I have a hunch that His Royal Highness will probably pay attention to this kid Shi Min early, and he may change the color of the world in the future."

"It's natural, and you still have to deal with him if you have the chance. When Lao Jiu and Lao Er Dou die and come back to life in the future, if this kid can be used by me, then the throne will definitely be mine. ”

"Your Highness is wise!"

"How is the manpower I ordered you to secretly cultivate?"

"Some of them are already in the corresponding positions, and some of them need to wait for the opportunity, but Your Highness can rest assured, as long as King Qing and King Yan have any movements, our side will generally know."

"The beauties sent to the old thing, don't be sloppy in quantity and quality, there is no chance to poison him, you can only let him return to the West as soon as possible in this gentle township."

"Your Highness, rest assured, my position as prime minister has been able to sit firmly for so many years, isn't it because Your Majesty likes the folk beauties I have collected for him?"

"That's good, for so many years, I am really wronged that Lord Gao has been pretending to be crazy and stupid in the court, no matter whether this king can ascend to the throne or not, this king will not forget this loyalty of Lord Gao."

"I was blessed with great grace and saved my next life. I have waited for so many years, although His Royal Highness has not succeeded so far, but the mother wants me to help His Highness, I will naturally go to the soup and fight the fire. ”

"The mother concubine has always had no quarrel with people in the harem, and the old things have long forgotten about her, but the mother concubine is also comfortable like this, after all, with the character of the mother concubine, it is not suitable to wade into such troubled waters."

"What His Royal Highness said is very true, he retired first, and His Royal Highness Lao took him to greet his mother."

"Don't worry, Lord Gao, we won't forget your help to my mother and son."

Gao Shangzhi stood up, bowed slightly, and walked out of the room.
