"Senior, did that King Liang plan to appoint the fifth prince as the crown prince from the beginning and pass on his throne to him?" Seeing that Tantai Pingchuan nodded slightly, Song Qiyun frowned slightly, "Why?" It is said that this prince is not favored by King Liang, and has always been in a state of self-destruction, and no one thought that this unfavored prince would become the new king. ”

"This should be a way for King Liang to protect, the more he snubs the five princes, those important ministers and nobles who want to learn from the dragon's merits will stay away from him, and no one wants to follow such an unpopular prince who has no future in their eyes. In the same way, King Liang can also use this to see the shortcomings in the court, and see who these courtiers who keep saying that they are loyal to the monarch. ”

"That's right, the succession is just a method used by the King of Liang to screen the ministers who assist the new king, and those princes who are favored in the battle for the succession are the bait to attract those impure ministers, and whoever is attracted to the past will become the target of King Liang's purge." Tantai Pingchuan shook his head helplessly, "It's a pity that the authorities are fascinated and bystanders are clear, and they are tempted by huge interests, and few people will stay sober." ”

"Isn't Senpai one of them?" Shen Cha smiled faintly, "The authority of the Lantai family is too heavy, and it has already aroused the suspicion of King Liang, and the seniors understand this better than anyone in the clan, so they will be relieved of everything the clan has done to you." ”

Shen Cha said as he instructed Meizhu to light the lamp, and then sent someone to tell the dining room to prepare dinner, because there were elders there, and it was a little lighter.

"I didn't expect you to pay so much attention to health at such a young age."

"After a long illness, you naturally care more about your body than others." Seeing that Song Qiyun looked like he was already hungry, Shen Cha moved the dim sum in front of him, "Back then, King Liang wanted you to contact the five princes?" The younger generation looks at the style of the five princes after they succeed to the throne, and they have the style of their predecessors. We once guessed that our predecessors were once the teachers of the Five Princes and taught him, but this is only speculation, and there is no empirical evidence. ”

"That's a good guess." Shantai Pingchuan waved his hand to Song Qiyun who handed over the dim sum, "Back then, the other princes had very famous teachers to teach, and there were also many important ministers to help, but the fifth prince was relatively unknown, even if he moved out of the palace after becoming an adult and set up another palace, the front door was deserted, and no one wanted to associate with him." When you are in the palace, you can be taught by King Liang himself, but when you leave the palace, you have to find a special master. He especially hoped that me, Xuanyuan, and the other two adults would teach the five princes, but our status was relatively special, and if we blatantly approached him, it would be easy to attract the attention of others, and we would deviate from King Liang's original intention. ”

"The disappearance and return of the predecessors has given King Liang hope, you can teach the Five Princes secretly, because for those who so-called know the inside story, you are deceased and do not pose any threat to them, and they will not think that the teacher of the Five Princes will be you."

"That's pretty much what it means!" Tantai Pingchuan nodded, "For nearly five or six years, I spent every night in the Five Princes' Mansion, this Five Princes is worthy of being the heir recognized by King Liang, very similar to King Liang, the same belief in the creed of those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me die, and the same hatred for the Tantai family and the Black Armor Camp." ”

"Why?" Song Qiyun frowned, "If you can't get it, you have to destroy it?" ”

"Yes!" Shantai Pingchuan nodded, "He said that he thought that the Shantai family and the Black Armor Battalion would really be loyal to King Liang, at least he thought so when he was very young, but he was particularly disappointed when he saw the Zhantai family and the Black Armor Battalion desperately joining the battle for the heir, and even had the idea of sending someone to assassinate me." But before his idea could become a reality, I was hunted down by my own family. He was shocked by this. I remember what he said at the time, it turns out that my husband is the same as me, and he is not treated by relatives. Although this sentence is slightly ridiculous, it ......"

"I still crave the affection of my family." Shen Cha sighed heavily, "Although he understands King Liang's protection of him, he can hope to be cared for from the bottom of his heart by his relatives, instead of calculating and hurting each other like now." But after he succeeded to the throne, he showed no mercy to those who had helped him and supported his succession, why is this? ”

"There's no reason, it's just a simple dislike." Yutai Pingchuan smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for the agreement with King Liang and him at the beginning, as long as the fifth prince is king, Xuanyuan and I will retire and never step into the court, and we won't live today." ”

"The price is to help him eradicate the Tantai family and the Black Armor Battalion?"

"This is our common goal, or what I said just now, instead of handing them over to the five princes, it is better for me to do it myself. Unexpectedly, the Black Armor Battalion was not completely wiped out, and a small elite desperately rescued my brother's family, and I, Xuanyuan, and the Five Princes sent people to search for them in many ways without success, and never found their traces, so I temporarily gave up the pursuit. But Xuanyuan and I both knew that they must still exist somewhere in this world, recuperate, and wait for the opportunity to go out of the mountain again. ”

"The Black Armor Battalion that did it to the Xuanyuan family and His Royal Highness King Ning is their descendants?" Seeing that Yutai Pingchuan nodded, Shen Cha frowned slightly, "But what about the Mu family?" Isn't the Mu family your person? Isn't it part of the Black Armor Battalion? ”

"I also have my own henchmen, and I can't rely on the Black Armor Battalion for everything, especially when I know that the Black Armor Battalion has betrayed me." Yutai Pingchuan smiled, "You should have guessed that they targeted the Xuanyuan family because they suspected that the Xuanyuan family betrayed them and betrayed them in the original battle for succession. ”

"We've all guessed that. But what we don't quite understand is whether what happened to His Royal Highness King Ning is related to the first generation of the Shantai family? Exchanging glances with Shen Haolin, Shen Cha threw out the biggest question in his heart, "Or is what happened to those people related to His Royal Highness King Ning also related to this so-called feud?" ”

"Not really." Yutai Pingchuan waved his hand gently, "How many years have passed, how much hatred has dissipated, where is there a grudge for so many years?" The reason why they can't get along with King Ning is entirely because of his biological mother. ”

"Isn't his birth mother from that tribe?"

"That's right, but no one knows that the people of that tribe have long since returned to the Shuntai family...... No, it should be said that they are only loyal to each patriarch of the Tantai family. ”

"So ......" Shen Cha paused, "they're also your people?" ”

"That's right, but they don't know it themselves, and I don't want them to know, after all, Liang Guo is gone, and they can live the life they want to live." Yutai Pingchuan sighed softly, "It's just that I didn't expect that they didn't let them go over there." ”

"Aunt Xue is really implicated."

"Xiao Cha is talking about Mrs. Xue Hou?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding slightly, Tantai Pingchuan waved his hand, "You are wrong, she is not innocent." ”

"What do you mean?"

"The great prince of the Jin Kingdom who befriended her, her biological mother is not only the daughter of the great nobles of the Jin Kingdom, but also the spy of the Black Armor Battalion."
