Zheng Rong has been in the temple for so many years, how could he not know Qin Shaoyou's wishful thinking.

It turned out that from the very beginning, this highness had already made up his mind, and his target was obviously the second prince.

I heard that the third prince has been established as the crown prince, and in the blink of an eye, the status of the second prince became embarrassing.

As for whether the two princes will come, of course, it depends on the ambition of the second prince, but on the other hand, there are also considerations for their own safety.

Since the opening of the Tang Dynasty, almost any succession has been accompanied by bloody rain, and once the princes who did not get the throne, the vast majority of them were extremely miserable, and it is not an exaggeration to even use the phrase "not to survive" to describe it.

At this time, the second prince should have no choice.

Zheng Rong had to admire, Qin Shaoyou's skill, the matter of the second prince may be Wang Ju's suggestion.

Thinking of this, Zheng Rong smiled and said, "Your Highness, if the Son of Heaven knows, this matter ...... I'm just afraid ......"

Still, he voiced his concerns.

The third prince became the crown prince, everyone knows what is going on, if the second prince comes to Luoyang for refuge, who doesn't know what's going on? So in the eyes of the imperial court, what do you Qin Shaoyou want to take in a prince for no reason? This is obviously a signal that is enough to cause alarm and concern among many people.

And Zheng Rong is worried about Li Xian, if Li Xian is angry, once he is investigated, the matter may be extremely tricky.

This has to be guarded against.

His Royal Highness King Wei's current strength is certainly not low, and he even has the capital to compete with the imperial court, but once he is caught, he may be in trouble.

In fact, to a certain extent, although King Wei has the capital to smash the world, he may not have the prestige to rebuild this world, that is to say, the current prestige is enough to deterrent. But unless you want to have the idea of breaking the jar, you must not act rashly.

He can make some small actions and even let the court know, but once exposed to the sun, a courtier does something that a courtier should not do, but it is different.

So Zheng Rong is still quite worried.

Qin Shaoyou smiled slightly: "Just now Zheng Shizhong said that the root of the current problem in the court lies in the Son of Heaven, and this king thinks that what Zheng Shizhong said is very true." But it is precisely because all the problems come from the Son of Heaven that this king did this. Zheng Shizhong thinks that the Son of Heaven really trusts the Wei family? ”

"This ......" Zheng Rong couldn't answer a little, in fact, he didn't think about this question.

But by all indications, the answer should be yes.

Qin Shaoyou shook his head: "If Zheng Shizhong thinks so, I'm afraid it's simple, of course, this king didn't say that Zheng Shizhong didn't mean to be thoughtful, but everyone only saw that the Wei family had gained power." But I didn't really think about the deeper reason, the root of the problem actually lies in the psychology of the Son of Heaven. ”

"The Son of Heaven is unbearable, this sentence. This king didn't dare to go around, but since Zheng Shizhong wanted to be honest with each other, then this king simply said such a big rebellion. It is precisely because the Son of Heaven is unworthy of being the king that it is not because the Son of Heaven is dull. In fact, this king has had some dealings with the Son of Heaven, although the Son of Heaven is not smart today. But it's not stupid. Why is it that a person who is not stupid has done many stupid things? Ay...... Zheng Shizhong, this is because the Son of Heaven's mind is not on his duty. For governing the world, and dealing with so many intrigues, the Son of Heaven is afraid that he is already extremely tired, and it is precisely because of this that he is so bored, so what is the first thing he does for a person like this? ”

After all, Zheng Rong is a person who draws inferences, and as soon as he heard it, he roughly understood something: "The first thing, of course, is to hand over the world to trusted people to take care of." ”

Qin Shaoyou nodded and took his words; "Yes, this is inertia, the Son of Heaven has great power in his hands, the first thing he has to do is to throw this thing away to others immediately, can Webster be trusted? Of course...... It's quite trusted, but doesn't the Son of Heaven hesitate at all? This king is convinced that the Son of Heaven must have had such a thought in the depths of his heart, but how can he still be so trusted? This is because ...... For the Son of Heaven, he doesn't want to think about the worst outcome, even if this thought appears, he will force himself to believe it, because in his opinion, if Webster is not credible, then the matter of governing the world will have to return to him, and he is not willing to bear this responsibility, nor is he willing to bear this burden, in order to be more comfortable for himself, or ...... He didn't have to face something he didn't want to face, so he could only choose to believe it, even if he lied to himself. ”

Qin Shaoyou sighed: "The Son of Heaven is a ******** man, he never wants to cause any trouble, and now, the emperor went to Chang'an, and the anti-Wei forces in the court began to condense, Wei had to retreat behind the scenes because of unpopularity, she asked the Son of Heaven to set up the third prince as the crown prince, the purpose, of course, is to divide the clan, if the second prince has no objection to this, at least the face still maintains the brotherhood, then for Empress Wei, this method of discord and differentiation, isn't it a failure?" Thus...... For Wei's family, the second prince left, but she couldn't ask for it, at least ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no longer afraid of Empress Wei, but has become his own brother, but this king is here to protect the second prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, only afraid of this king...... I can't help but feel jealous. ”

Qin Shaoyou smiled: "And for the Son of Heaven, it is naturally better to have more than one thing, he will not be willing to cause any trouble, especially now that he has to come out to preside over the overall situation, so ...... The king could almost have predicted that the only thing the Son of Heaven did was to ignore it. ”

Zheng Rong was silent for a moment and nodded.

It's just that there is one sentence he didn't say, because this matter, if you think about it deeply, it is too terrible.

Once the second prince comes to Luoyang, Qin Shaoyou will be jealous of the prince, which will inevitably make the prince fall to Wei, so ...... Why did His Royal Highness King Wei do this?

If it is according to the rules of the imperial court, next, when the Son of Heaven dies, it should be the crown prince who ascends the throne, this prince is the prince, and he is the future Son of Heaven, of course, His Royal Highness the King of Wei will not be stupid enough to offend the Son of Heaven, unless...... In the future layout of His Royal Highness King Wei, there is no place for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at all, to put it more bluntly. It is impossible for the crown prince to ascend the throne.

His Royal Highness King Wei wants to end the dictatorship of the Wei family, and he doesn't want the crown prince to ascend the throne, which is ...... Could it be that you want to do Huo Guang's business? Who will be the Son of Heaven, does he want to talk about it?

Zheng Rong realized this problem, he glanced at Qin Shaoyou, when Qin Shaoyou talked about this, it was as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, and there was no different expression on his face.

And Zheng Rong only had a wry smile in his heart, what His Royal Highness King Wei wanted, I'm afraid it is not small. Now that he is a very human minister, he is still laying out these, so it can be seen that he may not be willing to live under others.

Zheng Rong sighed faintly in his heart, he knew that some things were no longer within his control, he thought that the five surnames and seven families were so honorable. can influence any decision, but now, in Naweizhou, he feels it more and more deeply. Sort of...... The so-called high gate is no longer so important.

At least...... Under the rule of His Royal Highness the King of Wei, there is no need for such a role.

The reason why the gate valve can last for thousands of years has its own reason. Because they have a monopoly on all the land, and also on all the resources for education, because there is land. At the same time, because of the monopoly of education, no one in power dares to ignore the interests of the gate valve, otherwise the high-ranking men will unite and use the money, food and population of the former to rebel against you. And once you choose to compromise, you need to govern the world, and you must use the children of these gate lords to advise you and govern the place, because there are only so many literate people in the whole world, and the high gate has eight buckets.

It is precisely because of this that Zheng Rong is confident, he is confident that sooner or later, the Zheng family will be able to turn over, not because the Zheng family still has connections and has land in other places, but because the children of the Zheng family are all full of poetry and books, and any ruler cannot do without the thousands of children of the Zheng family.

But when he arrived in Weizhou and contacted Henan Mansion, he knew that he was wrong.

Qin Shaoyou is here, in fact, he has already smashed the foundation and advantages of any high-level gate.

The development of industry and commerce has led to the emergence of a large number of people who are relatively well-off. The development of industry and commerce, but also provide a large number of relatively high-quality jobs, reading and writing, no longer just to be an official to have room to play, which formed a certain kind of inducement, so that those who even smash the pot to sell iron to read, there is no step to see the hope, coupled with the improvement of living standards, the promotion of Taipingxue, the emergence of large-scale printing workshops using movable type printing, so that the children of the poor family have entered the school to study, and once reading is popular, literacy has become a popular thing, the children of the high school can do is, the poor can also do.

In addition, it is the change of the functions of the government, in the past, the government was only in charge of a hole in the office, the chiefs could not extend their tentacles into the countryside, and if they want to govern, the only way is to cooperate with the local high-ranking and powerful people, strong and powerful, each other is the horn, the high-ranking family and the wealthy family, almost the most indispensable part of the governance of the locality. And now, the function of the high gate has been completely replaced in the new system, a large number of higher-level officials began to be hired, coupled with a large number of peasant households left the countryside to go to the city, the countryside is no longer the same pool of stagnant water as before, the pattern has changed, there is room for the government to intervene, the local wealthy family, originally benefited from the monopoly of land, and once a large number of people entered the city, the value of rural land suddenly plummeted, and because the work is often more lucrative than the return on farming, those who stick to the countryside, can only sit and eat empty, and accumulate more than ten generations of money and food, which may not be as good as the assets purchased by a workshop owner who became rich overnight for a few years.

Zheng Rong is such a smart person, it is to know that there is such a world here, this world is so strange to himself, in this world, the Zheng family's original means and capital, actually worthless, in addition to the shock in his heart, but also understand a cruel fact, the Zheng family can no longer take the old road, that old road, in the future, it will definitely not work, at least in His Royal Highness the King of Wei here can not work, the only way is to learn from the scholars in the Kanto, out of a new road.

And now, he came up with an idea, His Highness's current layout, or from the root, may not be aimed at the Wei family, of course...... The Wei family is of course a great enemy, but at the same time, at the same time, those old gate lords and heroes are probably also his goals, and because of this, it seems that this highness does not seem to care about the 'people's heart', and the hearts of those who may have been defeated or assimilated by him have no meaning to this highness.

So...... The crown prince will not have any chance.

Unless...... The Shence Mansion was destroyed, and the bones of His Royal Highness the King of Wei were gone.

He took a deep breath, he knew what he was supposed to do, what he had to do was do his part, and that's it.

"Your Royal Highness......" Zheng Rong stood up with a slight smile, waved at Qin Shaoyou, and said: "Since Your Highness has a plan, the lower officials have no good sayings, the matter of the second prince, presumably His Royal Highness has already arranged it, it is not too early, the lower officials will wait for the meeting, and they will go to pay homage to Brother Yang Xian, and the lower officials will leave for the time being." ”

Qin Shaoyou saw that Zheng Rong didn't continue to talk deeply, but felt surprised in his heart, but when he saw his deep gaze, he seemed to understand something in his heart.

Zheng Rong should have known his thoughts, and he didn't say anything because he knew that he was powerless to change, so he simply pretended not to know.

Qin Shaoyou also smiled bitterly in his heart, Zheng Rong must have a sense of powerlessness at this time, because a person like him, who has read poetry and books since childhood, will always have his own 'principles', but ...... Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but ask himself, what about himself? Can you change anything?

"Actually...... Not only are you seriously going with the flow, even I, Qin Shaoyou...... It's just going with the flow, maybe in your eyes, I'm ambitious, but you will never know that it's not me Qin Shaoyou who is ambitious, but inside and outside this Henan Mansion, and even everyone in the five towns in the future, one day in the future, these people are really ambitious, and they will push anyone to do what they want to do and don't want to do. ”

Qin Shaoyou thought so in his heart, and smiled: "This king will send you one." ”

Zheng Rong hurriedly said: "Your Highness is too polite. ”

Qin Shaoyou sent him out, and saw that outside the palace, there was a full sedan car, and Zheng Rong glanced at Qin Shaoyou when he left: "Your Highness has all the opportunities, and it is better to be an official." ”

Qin Shaoyou patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, don't talk about this, this king should see the big shopkeeper of Hengtong Commercial Bank next, your time is not early, and the time of this king is not early." ”

Zheng Rong saluted again and got into the car. (To be continued.) )
