"Sit down..."

Entering the study, Xue Mushan pointed to the chair and motioned for Wang Xu to sit down.

After Wang Xu sat down, he continued: "The news of your coming to the capital will spread soon, I don't care about other things, but there is one thing you have to remember, you must not get too close to the princes." ”

"The Prince?"

Wang Xu's eyes flickered, and he asked softly, "Teacher, can you talk about it carefully?" ”

"Hey."

Xue Mushan's face was embarrassed, and he sighed: "The crown prince Wu Biao, the eldest son of the prince, was made the prince very early, but he has a short temper and a moody personality, and there are countless maids and eunuchs who have been executed for small mistakes, and he has always been disgusted by the saints.

In the past, the other princes did not grow up, and the saint had no choice but to suppress the anger, but now most of the princes are adults, and the saint also looks at the prince more and more unpleasantly.

Half a month ago, Shi Zhong Maoliang, the head of the prince's mansion, forcibly occupied the people's land and caused human deaths, which caused Long Yan to be furious. The saint reprimanded the prince and said that he couldn't even look at the East Palace, how could he be in charge of the court, it was better to die as soon as possible.

As soon as these words came out, all the princes were gearing up, and they all regarded it as a signal that the prince had fallen out of favor and wanted to set up another prince.

At present, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have become the object of the princes' wooing, and they are just waiting to catch the prince's sore feet, and they will be beaten into the land of no return, and they are worried that you will be harmed by the fish pond. ”

Today, there are three out of forty saints, and there are even more children below.

Among them, the crown prince is the son of the current queen and the eldest son of the emperor, who is 25 years old this year.

The queen was born in the top family of Confucianism, and the Li family of Longxi among the five surnames and seven clans is the product of the compromise between the emperor and the family.

If the saint is a faint king, such a marriage of interests will help the stability of the royal power.

However, today's saint is a Ming monarch, a pro-poor family, a distant family, and is very wary of the queen who was born in a wealthy family in Longxi.

You must know that the Li family in Longxi is not simple, when the Great Sui lost the deer, the world chased it, and when the Great Wu Taizu fought for the dragon, it was difficult to solve the problem with Li Yuan, the master of the Li family in Longxi, Li Jiancheng, the master of the young family, and Li Shimin, the military master.

If it weren't for the fact that Dawu Taizu was a step ahead, I am afraid that the world would be taken away by the Li family back then, and Dawu would probably have to be changed to Datang.

But even so, the Li clan still failed to destroy the Li clan, the Li clan still dominated Longxi, and the Great Wu Taizu could only be appeased.

Today, the power of the family has risen again, and the five surnames and seven clans are still the five surnames and seven clans, the queen of the Li family in Longxi, and the prince with the blood of the Li family, is simply a thorn in the eye of the saint, a nail in the flesh, like a fish in the throat.

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Wang Xu had learned about that period of history and knew that the Great Wu Taizu, who was suspected of being a traverser, relied on the Shi clan to a large extent in seizing the world, resulting in a pattern in which the tail of the Shi clan could not be lost.

But he didn't know how Confucianism viewed this matter, or how the Zhu Party and the Han Party viewed it.

"The princes of the imperial court are arguing endlessly, even within my Zhu Party, today's Shengshang is biased towards the Eighth Prince Wu Ge, the first assistant Du Shilin is biased towards the Third Prince Wu Yan, and the Han Party is biased towards the Fifth Prince Wu Chong, and I appreciate the Sixth Prince Wu Shan."

Today, there are 12 princes, 17 princesses, and a full house of descendants.

Among them, the crown prince is the eldest son, a natural prince, but he has a bad personality and is not high in the evaluation of saints and Confucianism.

Down, the second prince is a concubine, and his mother is just a dancing girl, which is the product of the saint's drunken disorder, and no one can take the turn of the second prince to take the throne.

The third prince, Wu Yan, whose mother is one of the four noble concubines, has been smart and studious since childhood, and is a disciple of the current cabinet chief assistant Du Shilin.

The fourth prince is frail and sickly, unable to write, unable to do martial arts, and has a very low sense of existence.

Wu Chong, the fifth prince, whose mother is the head of the Hanmen, the former cabinet chief, and the niece of Yan Song, the leader of the Hanfang Party, was naturally supported by the Hanmen.

Wu Shan, the sixth prince, is a corporal of Lixian, treats people like a spring breeze, and has the style of an ancient sage.

The seventh prince and the crown prince are compatriots, have a cowardly personality, suffer from stuttering, and are too close to the Li family in Longxi, so they are also not candidates for the prince.

Wu Ge, the eighth prince, is the son of Wan Guifei, who is only thirteen years old this year, but he looks like the current saint when he was young, and he was the most liked by the emperor.

The Nine Princes, the Ten Princes, the Eleventh Princes, and the Twelve Princes are all children at present, and if they want to become the crown prince, there will be no hope for a while.

"The crown prince was deposed, the three princes supported by the cabinet chief, the five princes supported by the Han Party, and the eighth prince supported by the emperor are the most favorable contenders for the current crown prince's position, right?"

After sorting out the information he obtained, Wang Xu had a general impression of the dispute between the prince and the prince.

Among them, theoretically, with the support of the first assistant of the cabinet, his mother was born in the three princes of the Fan Yang Lu clan among the five surnames and seven clans, and she has the highest chance of winning among the princes.

After all, the third prince is in his twenties this year, he is in the prime of life, and with the backing of the Lu family and the first assistant of the cabinet, he has a lot of cards.

The five princes supported by the Han Party are worse than the three princes, because the Han Party has just been defeated by the Zhu Party a few years ago, and many Confucians have returned to the mountains and forests, causing subversive damage to the strength of the Han Party.

The five princes are backed by the Han Party, and it is natural that they will be excluded by the ministers of the Zhu Party, and now the saint is close to the Han family and alienated from the family, which has made many Zhu Party elders restless, and another prince who was born in a poor family and has sympathy for the Han family becomes the prince, will there be a way for the Zhu Party to live in the future?

Therefore, the fifth prince seems to have the possibility of becoming the crown prince, but in fact, the probability of him becoming the crown prince is very low, and this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen by the Zhu Party.

As for the last eighth prince, he is also from a poor family, his mother is the saint's favorite concubine Wan Guifei, and he is also the saint's favorite prince.

His winning rate is hard to say, after all, the strength of the Son of Heaven is incalculable, with the absolute support of the emperor, except for the disadvantage of being young, it is enough to compete with the three princes in other aspects.

is the six princes supported by the teacher, Wang Xu is a little unreally.

The mother of the sixth prince is just an ordinary talent, and her background is even more secret, not a poor family or a family, as if she is a saint in the Daomen.

In terms of talent, temperament, and demeanor, the six princes are the crown of all princes.

But his taboo background is difficult to be supported by Confucianism, Wang Xu thought about it, I am afraid that there will not be too many ministers in the court who support the six princes, and if his teacher is not good, he is the one with the highest status.

"The three princes supported by the Zhu Party, the five princes supported by the Han Party, the eight princes supported by the emperor, the six princes hidden in the clouds, plus the prince who is in danger, is this going to stage a seizure?"

Wang Xu had a strange face, but he didn't expect to encounter a big drama as soon as he came to the capital.

However, what does this have to do with him, in his plan, it doesn't matter who becomes the crown prince, even if the emperor is replaced.

Strength is the basis that determines everything, when he has the ability to pry the world with his small body, those who stand in his way will be crushed, no matter what Zhu Party, Han Party, and princeling Party he is.

"At present, the form is not clear, you should study with peace of mind, and you should not get too close to these people. You are different from being a teacher, you have come to this point as a teacher, and you can't make progress, even if you make a mistake, you just want to return to your hometown one day earlier. You are different, your road has just begun, if you are involved in the whirlpool of seizing the heir, one wrong step will be one wrong step, and it will be difficult to turn back. ”

Xue Mushan was afraid that Wang Xu would not understand the seriousness of the matter, so he warned again and again, not knowing that Wang Xu had already made up his mind to watch coldly.

Even, in order not to be implicated, Wang Xu is already secretly wondering whether he should hang up the card to avoid the guest and not go out.

It will be tested in September next year, and this is the way for the carp to leap over the dragon gate.

For Wang Xu, everything in the world is not as important as fame, in order to avoid unjustified disasters, he would rather endure loneliness and stay closed for a year.

This is not an exaggeration, but people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, and many things are not something you just want to withdraw.

For example, in the West Lake Dragon Palace, Wang Xu made a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that he would be dragged into the water by the seventh princess if he hid honestly.

One such thing is enough, and the second time is stupid.

Thinking like this, Wang Xu secretly made up his mind and planned to live a period of life as a little daughter-in-law who does not go out of the door and does not step out of the second door.

He wanted to see if anyone could pull him out and throw him into the whirlpool if he was hiding in the Xue Mansion.
