"Regarding the matter of Shuiling Mountain, the widow has never asked your opinion, but you old fox can't have any ideas, it's time to be honest with the widow, right?" The Emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, Lao Chen feels that this war is inevitable, Lao Chen was born in Baiyang County, and he did receive the incense of Shuiling Mountain when he was a child. However, there is a saint sitting on that mountain, and the old minister's hand cannot reach so far. What Lao Chen has been thinking about is just to protect the people of Baiyang County. Xu Zhiwu replied.

The emperor immediately nodded and said, "This widow does not suspect that you are lying, this is also the character of you, a scholar. Then which prince do you think will inherit the throne in the future? ”

Xu Zhiwu was not alarmed, and replied: "Your Majesty has a decision in his heart. ”

"How is the prince?" The Emperor asked again.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is majestic and strategic, has a long-term vision, or has the talent of an overlord emperor." Xu Zhiwei replied bluntly.

"What about the second prince?" The Emperor asked again.

"His Royal Highness is diligent and submissive, or he can be called a virtuous monarch." Xu Zhiwu replied.

"What about the Four Princes?" The Emperor then asked.

"The Fourth Highness is cautious, or he can become a virtuous monarch and make the wind and rain smooth in a country." Xu Zhiwu replied.

Xu Zhiwu is an extremely clever word, and he will answer whatever the emperor asks, not imposing his own subjective consciousness, but also simply expressing his own views.

The emperor was very satisfied with Xu Zhi's answer. If there is no such word, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will be disgusted by Xu Zhi's worries.

Nearest the king nearest the gallows.

"That'...... What about the Three Princes? The Emperor asked again.

"You may be a benevolent gentleman." Xu Zhiwu replied.

"It's strange, you have opinions about the other three princes, why don't you have any description of the three princes?" The Emperor asked, a little puzzled.

"The three highnesses are benevolent and righteous, but there are no other outstanding things, and the other royal highnesses have their own strengths. Compared to the others, the Third Highness is really a little worse. Xu Zhixian said.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "So many people have already stood in the camp, either into the prince's east palace or into other palaces. But you Xu Zhiwei, an old fox, gave the prince such a high evaluation, why did you choose the third prince who you think is the least outstanding? This is a question that the widow has been unable to understand in recent years. ”

As soon as Xu Zhiwu was about to speak, the emperor said: "Don't tell the widow that you want to use this to get rid of the suspicion that you are standing in line, even if the widow doesn't care, it is impossible for the other princes not to care." The widow also understands this, and you don't have to be sloppy with the widow, and explain it honestly. ”

The old minister felt that although His Royal Highness was a little naughty, he was also benevolent, knowledgeable, and easier to get along with. Your Majesty also knows that the old minister has always lived in a simple place, and there are few real friends in the court. No matter which side the old minister stands, it won't play a big role. If you don't choose one, won't you really become a clear stream? Xu Zhiwu replied.

"Hahaha, this answer is good, and the widow is very satisfied. Oh, it's better to chat with you Xu Aiqing a little more happily. Renjun, Renjun is good. In the future, if it is canonized to the locality, it will not be a disaster. The Emperor said with a laugh.

The emperor looked at Xu Zhiwu, who didn't speak, and then said: "You must know that above the court, whether it is the overlord of the world or a generation of Ming monarchs, only one is needed. But in the local area, there are too many talents. ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true." Xu Zhiwei said.

"Okay, okay, I've been fighting with you for so long. No, the widow is going to rest. The Emperor said.

Xu Zhiwu didn't get up, the emperor talked to him so much, and he didn't give him an answer yet.

"Okay, tomorrow morning, the widow will announce that Yin Zheng of Shuiling Mountain will be summoned after seven days. I never thought that the person from Shuiling Mountain would be this famous martial artist. ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he got up and left, and Xu Zhiwu bowed his head to send the emperor away.

For Xu Zhiwei, there is no need to beat around the bush about some things, just like he bluntly said that he stood on the side of the third prince.

There are more queues in the court, if the emperor suppresses it, it will definitely not be his turn to worry about it at the beginning, maybe on the side of the prince's East Palace, there will be people who will take the lead. After all, by the side of the Third Highness, except for her, a second-grade Huangmen squire, there is no more Wenchen military general.

The emperor talked so much with Xu Zhiwei, Xu Zhiwu didn't think that His Majesty the Emperor was talking nonsense to him, the emperor definitely had ulterior motives.

As for what this intention is, Xu Zhiwei is not clear at present.

Xu Zhixian returned to the mansion, found Li Xiao and the two, and talked to Li Xiao and the two, and the emperor said that he would summon Yin Zheng in seven days.

Yin Zheng didn't feel that seven days was a long time, anyway, it had been a few months anyway, and he didn't care about a few more days.

"Hey, Lord Xu, can you also send me in, I also want to see what that emperor is like." Li Xiao asked.

"When the time comes, it depends on the arrangement, if there is one more person, you can follow Mr. Yin into the palace to face the saint. However, these days, please don't move around at will, and try to stay in the old man's mansion as safely. Xu Zhixian said.

"Okay." Li Xiao immediately agreed.

The next day, news came out in the palace that His Majesty the Emperor would summon the martial artist of Shuiling Mountain, the genius Yin Zheng, who was famous in a continent, in front of the altar seven days later.

I don't know who leaked the news, saying that Yin Zheng is currently in the mansion of Xu Zhi, the waiter of the Yellow Gate.

The second prince and the fourth prince who got the news immediately set their sights on the side of the East Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should take action.

On the royal street, in front of Xu Zhiwu's house, I don't know how many people came, most of them were women, everyone was beautiful, and they all wanted to see the face of this genius who moved a continent.

On this afternoon, Xu Zhiwu's mansion ushered in a nobleman, who was the lord of the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"The old minister knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince." Xu Zhiwu hurriedly came out to greet him.

"Lord Xu is exempt." The prince of the yellow robe of the four dragons made a gesture of false support. ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie." Xu Zhiwu quickly stood up.

At this time, the third prince rushed over at the right time.

"Xiao Wang knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince." The young prince hurriedly saluted the crown prince.

"The royal brother doesn't have to be polite, get up, it's all exempt!" The prince waved his hand and said loudly.

"Brother Huang, why did you come to Lord Xu's mansion?" The crown prince asked the third prince.

"Hehe, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come, and why did Xiao Wang come, meet that genius martial artist." The young prince said with a smile.

The prince immediately said to Xu Zhiwu: "I'm tired of Lord Xu, introduce it to the palace." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, two highnesses, please."

Xu Zhixian took the prince and his party to the courtyard where Li Xiao and the three lived.

At this time, Li Xiao and the three of them were sitting on the stone table in the courtyard, asking Cao Ying something about this world.

Seeing such a large group of people coming in, one of them was wearing a yellow robe of the four dragons, Li Xiao mistakenly thought that this was the current emperor of Qingshui Kingdom. After all, people are wearing dragon robes.

Cao Ying stood up for the first time, and Yin Zheng and Li Xiao also got up.

"When you see His Royal Highness the Prince, don't you kneel and salute?" The prince said proudly.

"Knock on His Royal Highness the Prince." Cao Ying was the first to kneel.

Yin Zheng and Li Xiao's reactions were similar, the two of them only bowed their hands to the prince, and said in unison: "I've seen the prince." ”

"Bold, dare not kneel, it's lawless!" When the man saw that the two of them did not kneel, he immediately drank violently.

"Do you want to kneel?" Li Xiao asked with a confused face, although he had watched those costume dramas before and wanted to kneel around, he still didn't want to kneel down to greet people.

"Nonsense, this is His Royal Highness the Prince, under one person, who dares not to kneel when he sees it?" The man shouted.

Li Xiao raised his hand and touched his chin, looked at the prince with a lofty instrument, and said with a smile: "But I don't really want to kneel, His Royal Highness the Prince, so many people kneel to you every day, it doesn't matter if there is one more or less, right?" ”

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard this, he smiled slightly, and felt that this young man was quite interesting when he spoke.

"According to the laws of this dynasty, the gods on the mountain don't need to kneel when they see the members of the royal family, right?" The third prince whispered beside him.
