Xu Qing was entertaining a guest in the side hall at this time, the secretary of the military department, Duan Changfeng's father.

Usually he hardly sees guests, but this time the other party came to visit, and he could only see him once.

"Lord Xu. Duan Changfeng looked at him. "Where did He and His Highness learn martial arts before?"

"The division is far, far away. Xu Qing knew what the other party was asking and said. "His Royal Highness was taught martial arts when he was a child, and when he was still in the Wei Kingdom, he was a teacher. ”

However, even the loyal uncle who has been living has probably never heard of a teacher, and a junior brother.

But I won't say anything more than I shouldn't say.

After all, even the crown prince and the crown princess didn't say much.

"The prince is in retreat, but Yang Hao can't represent him, I heard that the prince's mansion will be dominated by you in the future. Duan Shangshu asked.

If he is the prince's junior brother, and now he is living in the palace and becoming the commander of the palace, he deserves to be regarded as the second person in the prince's faction.

And Yang Hao's identity is more like a staff member, he can't give up business and join the government to help.

"When I first arrived, I didn't know the rules. Xu Qing could hear what he was saying, and knew that the other party wanted to remind him kindly, so he hurriedly followed the other party's words and asked. "Since Master Duan is a senior, please give me a lot of advice, you are most familiar with the things in this Yang City, can you give me some advice?"

Duan Shangshu took a sip of tea gently, and his face naturally showed a kind of majesty, but he had a good impression of the prince's faction. "There are now four generals and lieutenants of the Wu Wei Army, Lord Xu, you probably know, they are all very close to the four princes, since before, I think this is also the reason why His Majesty was transferred to the command envoy, some people are very powerful, the previous few will be defeated in their hands, this position of the Wu family is naturally not successful, and when Your Majesty did not find the right person, you appeared. By the way, I heard why you haven't been to the government office. ”

"It's not the time yet, I can't do anything now, and I'm not like a martial artist. Xu Qing said.

"Okay, it's good that you're measured. Duan Shangshu said. "Xu Qing, so many people have high hopes for you, don't disappoint, when there are no outsiders in the future, you don't have to be polite. ”

"The fourth prince has been wooing you, what did you think when the prince didn't come back yet?" Xu Qing asked him. "Duan Gongzi also took into account your feelings at the beginning. ”

"He is him and I am me, don't think too much, although others will always notice that we are father and son, this layer can't be taken off. Duan Shangshu said. "When he grows up, he will go his own way in the future. And when I'm old, I want to make my choice. After that, it will be your time. ”

"I see, that's because Your Majesty has always had high hopes for you. Xu Qing said. "Many years ago, the four princes were in politics, and it has been so long, he has been able to win over all of them, and many people in the court support him, although the prince came back later, Yang Hao is good at dancing with long sleeves, and he has not changed anything, and the prince didn't care about these things, it seems that he also has a decision. ”

"Even though I am the commander of the palace, I am afraid that most of the generals and below support the four princes, so I don't want to

Go. And there are still people in the court like Lord Shangshu, who are only loyal to His Majesty, and even if His Majesty is in retreat for so many days, my court can still move forward. Xu Qing nodded silently after hearing this, and suddenly sneered. "But there are still people who want to stay in the next era and want to stay in a high position, so they go to the camp of the Four Princes. ”

"Xu Qing, I now understand why you were able to take the lead after the prince's retreat. Duan Shangshu was pleased. "I'll just wait to see how you perform. ”

"What would you do if the prince were looking for you?" asked Xu Qing. "Your Excellency, you are also a pillar of the country. ”

"I will assist him well, so that he can inherit the great unification and accomplish the great cause that so many people hope for. Duan Shangshu said.

"Why, if it is His Royal Highness Wang Chuan, would you like to?" Xu Qing was surprised.

"I'm waiting, too, if he does come to me, it means that he is willing to take on this great responsibility, and such a person is worthy of help. If it were His Royal Highness Wang Chuan, he would do a good job. Duan Shangshu finally said.

Xu Qing sighed silently.

If it were you, you wouldn't be able to do it.

......

"Come, drink, degasse......"

Wu Shu can show off his martial arts in front of the fat fans, but he doesn't dare to go too far in the face of the world. In the end, His Majesty only sent me a household servant, and my martial arts family paid how much money this time. ”

"The household department is the household department, and it is not appropriate for you to go. Now the whole capital is staring at us, if we make things too big, it will not be good for you and me in the future. The Son of Heaven is not afraid of your power, but he is afraid that you will have a bad influence. With that, Shizi poured a glass of wine and put his feet on the table. "The prince's faction is not simple, he has retreated, and he has a junior brother. The four princes are still struggling to defend against the enemy outside. ”

"If you want to say that before, if the prince didn't do anything, he wouldn't do anything wrong, just wait to inherit the throne. But this is no longer what it used to be, if he doesn't do anything, the prestige in the eyes of the people will also deteriorate, and I am afraid that he will be able to influence His Majesty's choice. Wu shrugged and smiled. "Could it be that the injury is really serious, and it has reached the point where it can't be shot. ”

"These things are not something you can think about. Shizi said. "My father also wrote to me to scold me, the prince is not only the head snake in the capital now, but also a strong dragon across the sea, let's fight him on the bright side, it's a joke! Even Xu Qing looks down on us, and the carriage is too lazy!"

"The strength of the prince is not something we can imagine. "Wu Shu also knows a lot. "But why should an outsider override us, I really can't bear it!" he still stared at Shizi with blazing eyes, and his voice changed. "Prince, are you willing? Grandpa was born and died outside, how much tax does our martial family pay every year? But just because of the prince's words, such an important position of Wu Weijun was given to an outsider, Your Majesty, he is really chilling. ”

"Shut up, how can Your Majesty be your criticism!" the prince smashed the wine glass in anger, his body shook slightly, and then regained his composure and spoke. "Your Majesty is just being deceived. ”

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"Yes, what about the Fourth Prince, won't he help us?" asked Wu Shu. "Everyone said that he was scared, he didn't run away when the prince came back, what did His Highness think?"

"I've been to see the Four Princes before, although I can't mention the matter of the prince in front of him, but now who doesn't know that there are many people who support the Four Princes in the court, he has been in business for many years, and he has actually done a good job. No matter how powerful the prince is, his foundation is unstable, he can't meddle in political affairs at all, and he is useless except martial arts. The prince said with disdain. "We have a holiday with them, but it's not the time to talk about revenge, our top priority is to lay a good foundation and gain a foothold in the capital, so that we can expand our power and step on Xu Qing! I have already decided to invite many officials, but today there are only you and I here, Xu Qing is not much better, he can't control the Wu Weijun at all now, now so many people are staring, they are all waiting to see him laugh, every day I know that he is shrinking in the Prince's Mansion, and the door of the Wu Weijun Mansion is not known. ”

Wu Shu sighed and nodded: "Understood." ”

Shizi turned around and looked out the window. "I have one more thing to tell you, if we want to be emotional, we can't touch it in the open, we have to work quietly, and before we do it, we must not only hold back our anger, but also give him a few smiles. My father has been instructing people like the crown prince to make a big move because of a little thing! After so long, our Jin Kingdom is still so calm, and it is also because the four princes have not had a chance to attack him, the two have not yet clashed, but that day will definitely come, once that time comes, it will not die!"

"The current crown prince seems to be an unshakable behemoth, but in fact it is a castle in the sky, and if we knock out one or two pillars, this beautiful pavilion will collapse and shatter. Of course, the shot must be ruthless and accurate, and the pillar will be cut off with a single sword. Whether it is Xu Qing or the prince, there is no background, no background, no family, unlike us. It's better if he doesn't do anything now, and the weeds will wilt one day. ”

If one blow can't defeat Xu Qing, if he counterattacks, the consequences will be very serious.

Wu Shu finally showed a rare smile tonight, although he didn't know how to deal with Xu Qing yet, the prince strongly supported it, and it was only a matter of time before they were crushed by the strength of the two of them.

Something to be happy about tonight.

"Shizi, I heard that the captain who opened the way for us yesterday seems to have planted a ......," Wu Shu asked tentatively.

"Yes, it took some effort to transfer to the Western Army, and you can go up when you come back with some meritorious service. Shizi said.

"The prince is really compassionate. Wu Shu said. "But although it is a critical moment, it is not good if the city guards are too strict in normal times. ”

The samurai family also has some gray and black businesses, which are often the most profitable.

It's okay for a day or two, but I can't bear it all the time.

They also have to spend money to do it.

It's like the son of the world complaining.

"Do you know who Your Majesty trusts the most?" Shizi smiled bitterly and put down his glass.
