The eldest prince slapped the note on the table heavily, and there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

"Over the years, I have done so many things for him diligently, and he has never looked at it squarely! He will always only have the fourth child in his eyes! "The eldest prince is full of resentment in his heart, and his own hard work has not been approved by the emperor, but Yuan Xiu doesn't have to do anything, he has been favored since he was a child, why is it so unfair?

"Since he is the one who hinders the footsteps of the eldest prince, why do you want to keep him? It's better to go and do him now, and in the future, in the entire Qi country, no one will fight with His Highness. The person who spoke was called Liren, and his face was cold, and from his eyes, it could be seen that he was definitely not a good person.

"No." The eldest prince hurriedly said, because he knew very well the disposition of resentment, and if he didn't stop it, this person would do anything. In his eyes, there are no kings and nobles at all, only those he is loyal to and those who are not.

"Why not?" There are some doubts about the resentment.

"Now is not the time to move him. The third and second children have accidents one after another, which has made the father suspicious, if the fourth child has an accident at this time, the first thing that the father thinks of is me, the father is more fond of the fourth, and the fourth child has an accident, I am afraid that my position as the prince is even more far away. "The eldest prince sees everything clearly.

"So what? They are all dead, His Royal Highness is the only prince of Qi State, if this throne is not passed to His Highness, who else can it be passed on? He said disapplauded, in his opinion, all things that could be solved with fists, and it was not difficult at all.

"You don't know your father too well, if that day really comes, my father would rather turn against my father and son, and will never fulfill me, so you must not tear your face with your father until the last resort." The eldest prince said in a deep voice.

"Then do you keep putting it off?" The resentment seems to be a little unwilling.

"Then it may not be dragged on like this, tomorrow I will go to meet my father." The eldest prince seemed to have silently made up his mind, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

The next morning, the eldest prince had been sick for many days, and today he also came to the court, Yuan Li saw him at a glance, but there was no concern between father and son in his eyes, and when he looked at him, he was like looking at an ordinary minister.

The eldest prince obviously felt that Yuan Li's attitude towards him was not as good as before, and he also had a plan in his heart, and quietly motioned to a minister on the side, and the minister nodded lightly, and then stood up.

"Enlighten the emperor, the ministers have something to play."

"Speak."

"Yes. Your Majesty, in recent days, there has been a commotion on the border between our country and the south, and the people on the border who have disturbed it are miserable, and the minister thinks that it is time to let those monkeys who are jumping up and down know who is the real king. The minister said.

"The border matter is not something that only happens in the past two days, as long as you take a little precautions, there will be no accidents." Yuan Li directly rejected his idea.

The eldest prince frowned slightly, and hurriedly gave another minister a look, and the other minister stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the southern country is mobilizing troops and horses to the border recently, I am afraid that there is a big move, Your Majesty, we should take precautions in advance, so as not to be led by the nose when the time comes, which will damage the majesty of our Qi country." ”

Yuan Li's eyebrows tightened, he didn't know this news yet, the news of these people was really well-informed enough, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes to the eldest prince.

"Yuan Hua, what do you think about this matter?" Yuan Li asked.

The eldest prince stood up respectfully and said: "Father, the sons think that if this matter is placed in the past, it is indeed not a big deal, and it is just a matter of sending some more troops, but now we have used force to retain the king of Beijing in the south, which should be regarded as a great shame for them, so they will not give up, this time to gather troops to the border, it is very likely to be a battle to the death with us, if we still as usual, if we do not pay attention to it, it is difficult to guarantee that they will break through the border defense, endangers the entire Qi country. ”

"And what do you think should be done?" Yuan Li did not express his opinion, and continued to ask.

"Father, the son is willing to personally lead his troops to the border, which extinguishes their momentum in one fell swoop, so that they will obediently bow down and obey the ministers from now on, and they will no longer dare to act rashly." The eldest prince said with an oath.

At this opening, not only Yuan Li, but also the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty, also felt very surprised, and their faces were incredulous.

All of them know that although the southern kingdom is a small country for them, it is because of the king of Beijing that the Qi kingdom has long wanted to annex the southern kingdom, but it still has no way to take them, how can the eldest prince not be surprised if he dares to say such a big thing now!

Yuan Li paused for a moment, revealing a touch of complexity: "Yuan Hua, I have taught you since I was a child to be really pragmatic, do you know what the consequences are when you say these words now?" ”

Of course, the eldest prince knows the pros and cons here, but he also knows better that if he wants to get the emperor's approval, he must do something that is beneficial to the Qi country, and the vigorous and vigorous thing is to attack the southern country, which is the most convincing event at the moment, that is to say, he must win this battle in one battle, and the eldest prince directly pushed himself into a desperate situation, either looking down on the heroes in the future, or disappearing in the future.

"Father, the son knows what he is talking about." The eldest prince said with a firm gaze.

"Nanguo has always been a painless existence, but once this existence makes us uncomfortable, Erchen feels that he should make a decision to uproot them!"

Yuan Li suddenly heard a little turbulent, as if he saw his shadow from his body.

Yuan Li suddenly laughed: "Okay! It's rare that you have such courage, so I will allow you to lead your troops to the border and take the southern kingdom in one fell swoop! ”

"Thank you, father!" The eldest prince is also in high spirits at the moment, and he has great ambitions.

However, not long after he was happy, Yuan Li said again: "This attack on the southern country is an excellent opportunity to exercise, let Yuan Xiu also follow you to exercise, it is also like you, the eldest brother, to learn skills, you don't have to be accompanied by those poems all day long." ”

The smile on the eldest prince's face instantly froze, he was doing everything possible to get rid of Yuan Xiu, so he had such an idea of breaking the boat, and now he wanted to take Yuan Xiu, when the war was won, how much credit would he get? At that time, in the eyes of his father, these credits will not all be his!

"Father." The eldest prince couldn't help but speak.

"The fourth brother has never liked these scenes of fighting and killing, let him go, I'm afraid he will not be happy."

"You don't have to worry about this, you just have to take good care of him when the time comes. Okay, that's all for today, retreat. Yuan Li didn't give the eldest prince a chance to fight for at all, and got up and left after speaking.

The eldest prince's eyes were cloudy, and a wave of hatred welled up in his heart: why is it like this since childhood? Why are you so biased? Why should we all humble your son? I am the son-in-law, the future emperor of this country, he is nothing! Nothing!

Yuan Li came to the study, he looked in a good mood, and Gonggong Zhang followed him from the court, so he naturally knew what was going on, so he carefully made a cup of tea and brought it over.

"It's been a long time since the slave has been so happy to see the emperor." Zhang Gonggong said.

"I didn't expect that Yuan Hua would have such courage, in the past, he was respectful and respectful in front of me, and he did everything step by step, that kind of appearance was at most a city lord's material, I didn't have too high hopes for him at all, but today he really impressed me." Yuan Li rarely began to praise the eldest prince.

This made Gonggong Zhang also surprised: "Then why did the emperor let the four princes go with him?" The slave felt that the four princes should be unhappy. ”

"You don't need to say it, the fourth child will definitely not be happy, but he is a prince after all, his duty is to share the worries and solve problems for the Qi country, now is the time to use him, if he retreats at this moment, then he is not worthy of being a prince." When Yuan Li talked about Yuan Xiu, his eyes exuded a different kind of light, and he didn't know what kind of expectations he had.

"Your Majesty." Father-in-law Zhang knew each other very well and didn't say more.

And at this moment, the fourth prince is thinking about how to get out of here, without the blue-hearted capital, no matter how prosperous it is, in his eyes, it is like an empty city, feeling lifeless and unable to arouse any interest.

Now the only person he can talk to is the little beggar he rescued in the broken temple, because the entire Qi country, that is, he used to have something to do with Lan Xin.

Yuan Xiu named this little beggar Lan Yuan, and without explanation, you can literally know Yuan Xiu's affection for Lan Xin.

"Xiao Yuan, if I want to leave here and go to your sister, would you like to go with me?" Yuan Xiu said jokingly.

When Lan Yuan heard this, his whole face was filled with a happy smile, and he couldn't wait a little: "Brother Yuan Xiu, is what you said true?" Are you really willing to take me to my sister? Didn't lie to me? ”

Looking at his expression, Yuan Xiu regretted saying it a little, because he really didn't have the ability to take him to Lan Xin, the only news he knew now was that Lan Xin had followed King Beijing back to the south, where are they now? I don't know anything about it.

Lan Yuan also realized something, his face instantly darkened, and he said sullenly: "Brother Yuan Xiu, you don't have to be sad, I know that my sister is not from the same country as us, so it is very difficult to find it, it doesn't matter, I believe we will definitely be able to see my sister again." ”

With such a sensible younger brother, Yuan Xiu was also happy in his heart, reached out and touched his head, and said comfortingly: "Yes! You're right, we'll still see your sister, and God might hear our call and help us find it. ”
