Please tell me, what other merits do you have, Your Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"Uh..."What's good about him?" It's hard to say...

"Otherwise... I'll ask in a different way. May I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how do you plan to get the world? ”

"Naturally, it is benevolence, loyalty, and filial piety." The prince replied immediately. "Cultivate one's own benevolence and govern the country with loyalty and filial piety."

"If there is only benevolence, loyalty, and filial piety, then the prince please go back, and the grass people can't help."

"Why, why..."The prince was shocked, since ancient times, the saints have been ruling the country with benevolence and virtue to flaunt loyalty and filial piety, where is his answer wrong?

"Because what you have to face next is troubled times, benevolence, loyalty, and filial piety are not applicable in troubled times." Fa Yan took a sip of tea, "Benevolence, loyalty, and filial piety are very good, but with this kind of concept, in troubled times, they will only be gnawed until there are no bones left, and the grass people do not intend to gamble their lives on a doomed prince." ”

"Sir, troubled times? How so? The prince was so shocked that he stood up from the ground, "Now that there is no war in the border passes of the four seas, how can there be troubled times?" ”

"Why not?" Fa Yanbo didn't care, poured a cup of tea for the prince and asked him to sit opposite him, "Next, the prince's seizure of the heir will become more and more intense, the political situation in the DPRK and China is unstable, and the various ethnic groups in the southwest have long coveted the abundant resources of the Dajin Dynasty, don't tell me that you don't know that the largest tribe in the southwest, Qiang, has already been contacting other small clans, and is ready to attack when you finish seizing the heir and Dajin is the most vulnerable, and there is a wild goose in the north of the country, and don't tell me that you don't know that the wild goose has always coveted the Great Jin." "This... How did the sir know? "The prince was slightly surprised, when did the Qiang start contacting the small tribes? Wild goose? In the past few years, there have been princesses in the past, and the two countries have also had envoys. He really doesn't know...

"I said... Do you really want to sit firmly in the position of the prince? Fa Yanbo couldn't help but sigh, is it the right choice to cooperate with this idiot goose? Even a merchant like me can know something that he can know if he is willing to spend some money to inquire, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not know. ”

"I'm ashamed..."The prince couldn't help but feel ashamed, the people who could be recruited by the court and the central government had been robbed by the three princes and the five princes, these people deliberately did not give him correct information, and when the court reported the meeting, he always said something like the peace of the border and the stability of the four seas, and he was really stupid to believe it.

"If you want me to work with you, you have to change yourself first." Fa Yanbo raised his fingers, "First of all, throw away all your courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, and virtue, you don't need them until you become an emperor." ”

"It's... This..."The prince hesitated, "But my Dajin Dynasty has ruled the world with benevolence, filial piety, and righteousness since ancient times, and now Mr. wants me to abandon these..."

"I want you to lose it now, I won't have an opinion on how you pick it up after you successfully sit on the throne." He stared into the prince's eyes and refilled a cup of tea for him, "Now, if you want to succeed, you must be ruthless and resolute, and you must do everything in your power to eradicate all those who will threaten your position, including your brother." ”

"I... I tried my best..."The people around him since he was a child only taught him to be virtuous and fraternal to love his brothers, and no one ever told him to be ruthless and unscrupulous in order to achieve his ends.

"Not as much as possible, but by necessity!" Fa Yanbo sighed, "If you don't want to change yourself, how can I help you?" ”

"So, will Sir help me?" After catching a few keywords, the prince's eyes suddenly lit up with hope.

"I'm still thinking about it." Fa Yanbo replied honestly, "If you can meet the conditions I have set within a month, I will promise to help you." ”

"Please explain, sir."

"I want you to pull Emperor Chen off the horse within a month."

"This!" The prince was shocked, oh my God, how many times did he be surprised today...

"The reason why the five princes were able to run rampant in the previous dynasty is that Emperor Chen and the vice minister of the Chen family are the biggest pillars, if you want to bring down the five princes, you must first bring down Emperor Chen. What did I just say you want you to throw away? People don't care about your life or death, why are you still holding meaningless benevolence? Don't think that people who repay grievances with virtue will be moved by you and will be grateful to you, those people will only dig deep in the soft soil, and as long as you are still in the position of the prince for a day, they will not give up and get rid of you. Fa Yanbo still drank tea slowly, "I know that you have been raised under the knees of Emperor Chen since you were a child, so it is my test to bring her down." I just said that I don't plan to gamble my life on the doomed prince, if I don't hear the news of the fall of Emperor Chen and Concubine Chen within a month, after that, I will go to the third prince or the fifth prince to contact, and I will no longer care what the fate of your family will be. ”

"But... After all, she raised me..."The prince still hesitated.

"You think she really wants to raise you? She had to do it because of the emperor's order. Fa Yan Bo disdainfully, "You robbed her son of the crown prince, she, she can't wait for you to die, if the emperor didn't hand you over to her to raise, if you die, she is the most suspicious, how can Emperor Chen Guifei allow you to live until now." Think about what she taught you as a child? Needless to say, I can guess that eighty percent is benevolence, courtesy, resignation, and friendship, so that you don't want to fight with your brother, and give more benefits to your brother. ”

The crown prince lowered his head and didn't speak, what Fa Yanbo said was not wrong at all, Emperor Chen Guifei had indeed educated him in this way since he was a child.

"Benevolence, courtesy, and resignation are not bad things, but this makes the emperor feel that you are not confident in yourself, incapable, and pass the buck to your younger brother, of course he will not give you a good face, after all, everyone hopes that his successor is a person who has the ability to command civil and military officials, and you are the prince!" Don't talk about the emperor, Fa Yanbo doesn't have a good face now, "Friendship and resignation let you develop the habit of giving priority to the fifth prince of all good things, and unconsciously you help her raise her son to thrive, and also make your reputation worse." Now, the five princes have been cultivated by you, and when the time is ripe, their mother and son want to get rid of you. And you, under her deliberate teaching since childhood, have developed a gentle temperament, and because you give credit to her younger brothers and have a reputation for incompetence, you are always reprimanded by the emperor, and everyone in the capital knows that the prince of this dynasty is cowardly and incompetent, which makes the emperor hate you even more, and the ministers look down on you, I don't believe that after so many setbacks, you will not reflect on the real reason. In the end, you just don't want to admit it because she is the one who raised you since childhood. ”

The more he listened, the more the prince's fists clenched tighter. Fa Yanbo said it ruthlessly, he is not a clay man, after suffering so many setbacks, he has not thought about the reason, indeed, because he is the mother who raised him to grow up, so he has always been soft-hearted. Just keep telling yourself that they will eventually find out what is good about him.

It's just that...
