Guo Ye smiled playfully: "What? Now don't worry that I'm His Majesty's illegitimate child? ”

Ma Zhou said: "Your Majesty named you the King of Qin, and let the ministers bow down." In the eyes of the ignorant people, this may have strengthened that conjecture. However, in the eyes of the discerning person, after this incident, even if you are the illegitimate son of His Majesty, it is impossible to ascend to the throne. ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Without it, it's too much. If you are really the illegitimate son of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty also has the heart to let you succeed to the throne, then you should slowly plan it, instead of suddenly becoming the king of Qin. ”

"Why?"

"Why do you knowingly ask? King Qin, hehe, King Qin, with this title, your every move will be magnified. If you don't do something, say you're useless. Let's do things, the slightest mistake will be found out, infinitely magnified, and if you can't wait for the succession, the reputation will stink on the street. ”

"Oh! I see! Guo Ye nodded and said, "Brother Ma, how do I think that your evaluation of the title of King Qin is similar to commenting on the crown prince?" According to what you say, who does Your Majesty want to inherit the throne, and can't you make him the crown prince? ”

"How can that be the same? If you are an illegitimate child, if your Majesty already has an heir, if you want to succeed to the throne, you have to make meritorious service and raise hope. But the crown prince is different, his identity is no problem, there is no need to make meritorious service at all, as long as he does not make mistakes, he can inherit the throne. ”

Guo Ye smiled slightly and said, "Brother Ma, don't you understand?" Why do you ask me? ”

"What do you mean ......"

"Your Majesty is a British lord, not only to dominate the world, but also to sweep away the four razors, so that future generations will never be troubled. The successor he needs doesn't need to show much talent, as long as he has the posture of a middle-aged person and can follow the rules. On the contrary, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behaves too heroically......"

"How?"

"Then I'm afraid Your Majesty won't be able to sleep. Recently, His Majesty has suppressed the crown prince on the one hand, and supported King Qi on the other hand, can't Brother Ma see this trend? ”

"The prince's predicament, I thought it was all caused by Duan Zhichong's admonition. Hearing you say this, even if there is no matter of Duan Zhichong, Your Majesty will ......"

"If it weren't for that, Your Majesty wouldn't be so obvious. But before he realized that his time was short, he would definitely not let the crown prince's prestige be too high. So, you should understand what the prince should do now, right? ”

"You mean Taoguang Yanghui?"

That's pretty much what it means. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not need to show his talents to stabilize his position, and His Majesty does not want him to show his talents. He only needs to work hard to be a good son now, as for encircling courtiers and cultivating subordinates, the prince has no need to do it now, and he can't do it. ”

Ma Zhou frowned slightly and said, "Actually, I haven't thought about what you said. However, His Majesty once told his close ministers that the crown prince has a cowardly personality, and he is afraid that he will be deceived by the ministers after succeeding to the throne, and hopes that he can improve in the future. ”

Guo Ye sneered: "Ye Gong is just a dragon!" Before the crown prince did not threaten, he naturally hoped that the prince would be wise and martial. However, when the prince really won the hearts of the ministers, His Majesty's mind changed. ”

"However, even if the truth is exactly what you say. The crown prince can not cultivate power, is the king of Qi willing to let go? If King Qi follows the story of Xuanwumen, wouldn't the prince sit back and wait for death what the prince did today? Not to mention ......"

"What?"

"After the death of Empress Changsun, His Majesty's favorite concubine is His Royal Highness King Qi's biological mother, Yin Guifei. In case she straightens things up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can overpower King Qi with his bloodline alone? Not necessarily. ”

After the death of Empress Changsun in history, did His Majesty Li Er make others queens? Guo Ye can't remember clearly. However, there is no doubt that Li Zhi eventually became emperor.

It's just that this reason can't be used to convince Ma Zhou.

Guo Ye thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty started with the change of Xuanwu Sect, how can you prevent his son from playing this trick too?" Even if the crown prince wants to sit down, His Majesty won't want to be an ancestor, right? How can the emperor be the emperor at ease? ”

"What about the Yin Guifei?"

"As for Concubine Yin, Your Majesty is just pampering, and may not be able to straighten it out. Even if it is corrected, it may not have an impact on the prince. ”

Guo Ye smiled slightly and continued: "Besides, Concubine Yin is so old, how much can Your Majesty like it?" If it really doesn't work, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will give him a few stunning beauties, which is also a piece of filial piety, isn't it? ”

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if!"

Guo Yedao: "This is the emperor, the most honorable position in the world, how can there be a complete strategy?" At least in my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Taoguang is much wiser than making small moves. As for whether to listen or not, it depends on His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Ma Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "Since that's the case, you can give me an accurate word." If it is your Majesty who controls Bintian one day......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Guo Ye said categorically: "This king will do everything in his power to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne!" ”

"If so...... What if there is a king of Qi? ”

Guo Ye stretched out his hand, pulled out the sword on his waist, and said, "Then I have to ask Guo if he agrees to this sword!" ”

……

……

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

Li Zhi's eyes were shining, and he said, "King Qin really said that? ”

"Absolutely."

"That's it!" Li Zhidao: "With the support of King Qin, the throne of this king is nine out of ten." Let's listen to his old man, don't put any power, and serve my father and king with pure filial piety. Whatever my father gives, I want. If my father doesn't give it, I will never take it. ”

"But ......," Ma Zhou hesitated, "Does Your Highness trust King Qin too much?" Although he was named the King of Qin by His Majesty, he now has no office. In case the official cannot be reinstated...... We can't bet all the treasure on him alone. ”

Li Zhi's expression was solemn and he said, "Mr. Ma, can I trust you?" ”

"I am willing to die for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Good! Then the king will show you a good thing. ”

After twisting and turning, Li Zhi took Ma Zhou to a secret room, took out a copy of Huang Ayazi's holy decree, and said, "Mr. Ma, please see!" ”

After reading it, Ma Zhou couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "It's good now, not only is there no problem with the reinstatement of King Qin, but it is also a matter of your struggle for the throne, and the chances of winning are also secure." ”

……

……

Guo Ye didn't know that Li Zhi had such a secret weapon, and the reason why he agreed so categorically was just to hug Li Zhi's thick legs in advance.

You must know that according to history, His Majesty Li Er has not lived well for a few years. His successor, Li Zhike, was emperor for more than 30 years. If you hold these big thick legs well, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.

What can we do if history has changed?

In any case, it's always right to be loyal to the crown prince, right? As long as the successor is not King Qi, Guo Ye's life will not be bad. His Majesty Li Er didn't kill the Jianyu Party either!

What if it is really King Qi who succeeds to the throne? That can't be helped. You may choke to death when you eat, is it possible that you won't eat yet? Always think of a perfect solution, don't live this day.

All in all, taking refuge in the prince is risky and profitable, which is Guo Ye's wisest choice now.

In the following days, Guo Ye had a very good time. At night, he flies with his wife and concubine, and during the day, he enjoys family fun with his children, sometimes teasing Guo Xiaojian, and sometimes teaching Guo Xiaozha and Guo Xiang to read.

By the way, now you can't call Guo Xiaozha, you have to call his big name Guo Shoujing. This name was also given by Guo Ye. He knows very well that he is also a middle-aged person, if he does not have more than a thousand years of knowledge, he will be an ordinary son-in-law in Datang.

The next generation inherits the genes of this body, whether it is learning literature or martial arts, it will definitely not be of great interest.

If Guo Xiaozha can inherit the knowledge he has obtained from modern society, like the historical celebrity Guo Shoujing, and become a great scientist, he will be satisfied.

In this way, within five months, Guo Ye stayed at home, even if someone came to visit, people who were not particularly close to him avoided it, and became a real "otaku".

Why, sitting at home behind closed doors, disaster came from heaven, and something happened again.

On this day, Guo Ye was sitting at home, and suddenly the old housekeeper ran in and said mysteriously: "Brother-in-law is here!" ”

"Why do you keep scolding?"

"What kind of swearing? It's really your brother-in-law, it's your brother of Lei Shuyao in the outer room......"

"You mean Lei Shuheng? That's not my brother-in-law, don't talk nonsense! ”

"You don't have to explain, I understand!" The old butler said meaningfully, "Do you see it?" ”

"See, of course. Lead the way! ”

With little effort, Guo Ye came to the living room.

As soon as Lei Shuheng saw Guo Ye, he knelt on the ground and said, "King Qin, Chitose, go and save people!" My sister has been taken away! ”
