Chapter 212: Family Meeting
When he came to the ink garden, Duanmu Cang was already waiting in the side hall.
It's been a long time since that happened, but the two of them still haven't talked much.
Therefore, seeing them coming, Duanmu Cang just nodded to Duanmu He, but for Duanmu Qing, he chose to turn a blind eye.
Duanmuhe winked at her, and the meaning of comfort was very obvious.
But apparently, she didn't care about that.
It's not that Duanmu Cang has a heart for her, she is the same.
Cai Wei still couldn't speak, Wen Yaxuan had become a garden.
She would never forgive him for this one thing.
"You're all here!" Duanmu Jun walked in and pointed to the next position, "Sit down!" ”
"Dad, you brought us over today, but what's the matter?"
Duanmu Qing asked first.
With a wave of his hand, all the irrelevant people retreated, and when there were only four of them left in the room, Duanmu Jun nodded.
"What do you think of the current situation in the court?"
Unexpectedly, he asked this, and the three brothers and sisters were a little surprised.
It was Duanmu Cang who spoke first: "Now the courtiers are guessing His Majesty's thoughts, although the four princes have been valued by His Majesty as soon as they came, and they have Jingnan's military power in their hands, but in terms of strength, they are still much worse than the three princes and the nine princes." ”
Duanmu Jun nodded: "You're right, if you talk about its strength, the four princes are indeed not enough." ”
"However, if Your Majesty really wants the fourth prince to succeed to the throne, he will definitely be biased." Duanmuhe groaned and spoke.
"Well, what are your plans?"
The two brothers were stunned, and they didn't expect Duanmu Jun to ask this question.
If it weren't for the fact that only the four of them were present at this time, this matter would spread out, and it would be another right and wrong, after all, the emperor was still alive.
"It's all family here, you can say anything you have to say."
"According to what the child has seen, the most likely person is actually the third prince."
"Oh? How so? ”
"Over the years, the third prince has always been in a position that is easy to ignore, and he is rarely seen to come forward.
But after the fifth prince and the second prince fell one after another, he was safe and sound, and judging from the recent situation in the early dynasty, there are not a few people who support him.
It can be seen that he is scheming, and Yuzhou is the maiden family of the previous virtuous concubine, and when the palace of the five princes changes, his strength is revealed one or two, obviously, beyond everyone's expectations.
On the surface, his strength may not be as good as that of the Nine Emperor Princes, but his strength in the shadows is geometric, and it is really difficult to estimate. ”
"Feiyuan, what do you see?"
When Duanmu Cang said something, Duanmu He had been listening carefully, but he didn't show any expression and couldn't see what he thought.
"If Your Majesty decrees at this time to crown the fourth prince as the crown prince, whether it is the third prince or the ninth prince, they will all lose their position."
"Prince Feng?" Duanmu Cang groaned for a moment, obviously not thinking of this question.
"Qing'er, what do you see?"
Duanmu Qing was silent from the beginning and didn't say a word.
She was originally just a woman, and she was the daughter of the Duanmu family, and it seemed that she should not appear on such an occasion.
But since Duanmu Jun called her over, he obviously cared about her opinion.
"At this time, His Majesty will not decree that the fourth prince will be crowned the crown prince."
"Why not?" Duanmuhe was a little curious, Duanmuqing's affirmation.
"Because it is too risky, as just analyzed, although the four princes suddenly rose, their strength is relatively too different from the other two.
If His Majesty is crowned the crown prince at this moment, the two of them will definitely be unwilling in their hearts, and they will not allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? So it is very likely that they will unite and attack the four princes.
Such a result must be something His Majesty absolutely does not want to see. ”
Duanmu Qing's words made Duanmu He and Duanmu Cang secretly think about it, but they nodded at the same time.
"Yes, I don't think His Majesty will take that risk." Duanmu Jun opened his mouth, confirming Duanmu Qing's guess.
It's just that there is another possibility, Duanmu Qing didn't say it in her heart, it was based on her understanding of Zhao Yufeng, what she could guess.
Zhao Yufeng is a person who can endure and be ruthless, and he knows it from his actions against dissidents in his previous life.
Zhao Yuxing, Zhao Yuxuan, and Zhao Yuhong were all defeated by him, and the end was very miserable, and there was no possibility of turning over at all.
At that time, Zhao Yuheng did not appear, but if he did not appear until Zhao Yufeng ascended the throne, it means that there is no chance to appear.
Such a person will never be slaughtered.
At this point, he must be in a difficult choice.
When Zhao Yuheng returned to China, it was obvious that the emperor looked at him differently, and even almost showed that he was the prince in the emperor's heart.
In the face of such pressure, and the strength of Shang Ke Yibo in his hands, he is afraid that he will not hand over the initiative to others.
In other words, he is likely to choose a very radical approach.
But she didn't dare to say these words to Duanmu Jun, after all, it was just her guess.
"That, what does Yi Cang'er mean ......"
"Although our family is not in power, it has always been the object of the princes' desire to woo.
If we show favor to the third prince at this time, his strength will be greatly enhanced, and he will have the capital to give it a go, and it will not be difficult to achieve great things. ”
This is to the point, presumably this is the reason why Duanmu Jun held this family meeting.
"Similarly, if we take refuge in the Nine Emperor Princes, then the Nine Emperor Princes can also succeed, but the Nine Emperor Princes are not as good as the Three Princes."
After listening to Duanmu Cang's words, Duanmu Jun pondered for a while before asking, "So Cang'er thinks we should stand behind the three kings?" ”
When his father said such a conclusion, a look of excitement appeared on Duanmu Cang's face, after all, this was the work of the dragon who founded the dynasty.
A man's ambition could not be more ambitious.
"Feiyuan doesn't speak, but you also agree with your eldest brother's point of view?"
The words had already been asked to Duanmuhe's head, and he raised his head and looked a little embarrassed: "I, I've never thought about this matter. ”
"It's not a question of whether we've thought about it or not, it's a question we have to choose!"
Duanmu Cang was anxious when he heard his younger brother's words.
Duanmu Jun nodded and said, "Yes, now that the situation is tense, our family can be regarded as being pushed to the cusp." ”
"So, Daddy, do you agree with me?" Duanmu Cang's expression became more and more excited, and his eyes were full of excitement.
"No way!" The person who spoke was not Duanmu Jun, but Duanmu Qing.
I saw that her face was very calm, the opposite of Duanmu Cang, and her words were very resolute.
Seeing her opposing her opinion, Duanmu Cang's face suddenly turned bad, and his tone became stiff: "Why? ”
Duanmu Qing didn't look at him or answer, but lowered his eyelids, as if thinking about something.
After the events of her previous life, it was impossible for her to agree that her family would become a big help to Zhao Yufeng.
Moreover, she clearly remembered that he was cruel to herself in his previous life.
Revenge, who has not yet been avenged, how can he help him in turn?
In terms of revenge alone, in fact, the best way is to reverse and stand on Zhao Yuhong's side, then the odds of victory will be much greater.
But she didn't want to.
Most importantly, she knew exactly what her father was thinking.
I always just wanted to be a pure minister, and I didn't want to earn the merit of the dragon.
What's more, she regards Zhao Yuhong as a friend, and it would be good if things were successful.
If you lose, everyone will be ruined together.
No, she can't gamble with her relatives and friends.
"Qing'er, what do you think?"
Firming up the thoughts in his heart, Duanmu Qing raised his head, and his eyes were also clear.
"Daddy, what do you think of the Qin family's matter?"
After all, the Qin clan was a person from the Yongding Marquis Mansion in the past, so after this incident happened, in the entire Protectorate Mansion, everyone avoided it, and no one talked about it.
This time, Duanmu Qing said it, and brought it up on this seemingly inconsequential matter, so that others were a little unsure of what she meant.
"Qing'er, what do you want to say?" Duanmu He asked first.
"I think Daddy should be able to see that this matter is not a game of chess played by His Majesty from beginning to end.
But it is clear that we have all become pawns of His Majesty, including Brother Yan.
In fact, if we have a relationship with Brother Yan, there is probably no guarantee that we will guess that he will bring troops to Beijing without permission. ”
"Hanmo brought soldiers with him?" Duanmu Cang obviously didn't know anything about this, and couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Duanmu Qing's words.
Duanmuhe and Duanmujun did not speak, one knew the truth for a long time, and the other was able to understand.
"But Your Majesty has made precise use of this and arranged for the four princes to take the throne," Duanmu Qing ignored Duanmu Cang, and continued to say to Duanmu Jun seriously, "A person who can accurately use the six guerrilla generals will completely ignore the actions of the three princes and the nine princes?" ”
These words made Duanmu He and Duanmu Cang fall into deep thought, but Duanmu Jun was smiling and seemed to agree with her words.
"So...... Qing'er means ......"
"On the one hand, His Majesty made the four princes successfully appear in the court, and they had a certain amount of bargaining chips, but at the same time, they also gave us a warning.
Therefore, what we have to do is to hand over the military power. ”
"Hand over the military power?!" Obviously, Duanmu Cang does not agree with this.
"That's right, hand over the military power and hand it over to Your Majesty." Duanmu Qing didn't seem to see Duanmu Cang's dissatisfaction, and said lightly.
"However, such a sudden surrender of military power seems to be ......"
Judging from Duanmu Jun's expression, in fact, he had planned to do this for a long time, but how to hand it over was what he had been thinking about.
"We have a reason!"
