A month later, Yongwang's Mansion.

"Second brother, second brother, there is big news!" The second prince, Tu Shaoxing, broke into the Yongwang Mansion in a hurry.

The servants of the Yongwang Mansion behind him looked embarrassed, and they didn't seem to stop Tu Shaowei, the king of Zhou, who was always causing trouble.

The faint sound of silk bamboo and laughter came from Yijiao Pavilion, Tu Shaowei turned around and shouted angrily, "Manager Yi, didn't you say that the second brother is not free and has no time to entertain me?" Why do you have time to have fun now? ”

Manager Yi was stunned by Tu Shaowei's Wang Bazhi's anger, so he had to smile and say, "King Zhou, the old slave also obeyed the orders of our prince before closing the door." ”

Tu Shaowei snorted coldly.

In the Yijiao Pavilion, Tu Shaoxing's voice came, "Fourth brother, why bother with such a big anger, it is difficult to be in charge." He was commanded to do so by the king, so come in. ”

When Tu Shaowei heard this, he had to stride over the threshold and enter Yijiao Pavilion. Seeing Tu Shaoxing, who was hugging left and right, enjoying singing and dancing, he quipped, "The second brother is really comfortable, which makes my younger brother so envious." ”

Tu Shaoheng put down the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, fourth, don't be sour." Look, this is a beautiful woman who can sing and dance in the small tribes of the Gobi Land in the south. I'm afraid even you can't imagine that the woman in this desert land is so smart, right? If you like it, you can pick a few and go back to Zhou Wangfu to relax. ”

Tu Shaowei waved his hand and said impatiently, "Okay, second brother, I came to look for you in such a hurry, it's really something." You tell these singers to go down quickly. ”

Tu Shaoheng saw this fourth brother who was not doing his job all day, and it was rare for him to have a serious expression. I had to wave my hand to make the singers stand back, and said lazily, "Say, what's the matter." ”

Tu Shaowei walked to the chair next to Tu Shaohui and sat down, and said softly, "Second brother, I heard that the next heir of the Vulture Kingdom is not the eldest brother of the crown prince, but someone else. What do you think? Isn't that news? ”

Tu Shaoxing's pupils shrank, "Oh? Is the message reliable? ”

Tu Shaowei poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip, "Why is it unreliable?" It was Ding Xiang, the head of my Zhou Palace, who finally got the news. ”

Tu Shaoheng said, "Manager Ding has always been old-fashioned, and if he gets the news, it will be at least seven points true." ”

Tu Shaowei said, "Second brother, what should we do next?" ”

Tu Shaoheng looked at him with a smile, "Fourth brother, what are you anxious about?" Could it be that you have illusions about that position? ”

Tu Shaowei couldn't help but say, "Second brother, what did you say?" The heir to the throne is related to the future of our brothers! Can I not be in a hurry? If a tyrannical person like Lao Liu is the heir, is there still a way for me to live? ”

Tu Shaoheng didn't care, "Now you're starting to panic?" It's too late. We might as well wait and see what happens! ”

Tu Shaowei hurriedly said, "Second brother, why do we sit still and ignore this matter?" ”

Tu Shaoxing's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "Fourth brother, could it be that you are here to cooperate with me, do you want to be together?" ”

"Cooperation? All right! It's just that how to divide the benefits in the future? ”

"Split evenly, how's that?" Tu Shaoheng said confidently.

Tu Shaowei said suspiciously, "Second brother, aren't you coaxing me?" How can you share a vested interest with me? Isn't that a poke my brother in the back? I'm four and you're six, so it's decided. ”

Tu Shaoheng said with a smile, "Are you saying that in the future, when the fief is divided, one-fifth of the interests of the fief will be divided among me?" ”

Tu Shaowei was stunned, "Second brother, isn't it divided into countries and ruled?" ”

"Fourth brother, please be careful! I believe that even if you cooperate with the eldest brother of the crown prince, he will not dare to promise you to divide the country and rule, right? Zu Xun said: The division of the country is the root cause of the chaos in the world, and I don't want to be the first disobedient descendant. ”

"Then I don't quite understand what the second brother means. Are you willing to spend your whole life like this? In that case, isn't it in vain that you have arranged so many secret forces? ”

Tu Shaoheng raised his eyebrows, "I don't quite understand what the fourth brother means." Brother, I just let a powerful person open a few security companies, which are registered and put on the surface, and my father also knows about it. Could it be that this is also a secret force? ”

"Okay, second brother, you don't have to be sloppy with me. Brother, I am here today, compared to all the brothers, I am more optimistic about you, second brother. I only hope that when you ascend to the throne in the future, you will give me the position of regent. Tu Shaowei directly clarified the intention.

Tu Shaohui laughed until Tu Shaowei's face showed an inexplicable look. "Fourth brother, you are too anxious, don't say whether I have the strength or not. It's the sixth brother, and they haven't made a move yet. ”

Tu Shaowei said, "Don't miss the opportunity, second brother, if the sixth brother wins, our brothers will be finished." If the seventh brother who has never met wins the victory, it will not be a good thing for us. Compared with the sixth brother who grew up together, we have no friendship with this seventh brother. ”

Tu Shaoheng said, "Fourth brother, you haven't told me the actual situation after saying so much!" ”

Tu Shaowei patted his head at this time, "Ah, I only cared about talking about our plan, and I didn't have time to tell the second brother about the situation of our seventh emperor brother." ”

Tu Shaoheng beckoned, and his own servant spread delicacies on the small table between the two. Tu Shaoheng raised his glass and said, "Come, fourth brother, let's talk while eating." ”

"That's right: Manager Yi has a niece and granddaughter who married a young man in Tao Ranwei's fifth detachment." Tu Shaowei said softly.

"Fifth detachment? Isn't it led by Yan Xiao, the secret guard of the prince's eldest brother? It seems that the news is from the East Palace. Tu Shaoheng's expression was inexplicable.

Tu Shaowei patted his knees and said, "Yes, big brother." So brother, didn't I run to your Yongwang Mansion as soon as I knew the news? ”

"Well, go ahead."

"Manager Yi said that our Seventh Emperor Brother has suffered a lot. Although it was from the name of Yu Guifei, she was reported to have died early at the age of one and was secretly sent to the Salesian Hospital of Lingyun City. Later, he was adopted by a couple surnamed Li who had nothing to do with poor conditions. ”

Tu Shaoheng frowned, "So miserable? ”

"There's something worse! Unexpectedly, after the couple adopted the Seventh Emperor Brother, they became pregnant and gave birth to a son, whose name was God-given. Therefore, the good days of the Seventh Emperor Brother are over, they are not well fed and clothed, not only do they have to take care of their younger brothers, but they also have to do housework like a woman, because the Li family is too poor. Tu Shaowei's face was complicated, with a faint hint of schadenfreude.

Tu Shaohui was puzzled, "Since the Seventh Emperor Brother has been chosen as the heir since he was a child, there should be Tao Ranwei by his side!" How did you end up here? ”

"Why not? It is still the first team of Tao Ranwei led by Yan Ming. However, Tao Ranwei is only secretly responsible for his personal safety, not his life. I heard that it was personally instructed by my father. ”

"Then the growth process of our Seventh Emperor Brother can be called a "History of the Struggle of the Fallen Prince".

Tu Shaowei sneered, "Heh... You also think too highly of the Li family. I heard that he was in the Li family, and he relied on his own pocket money since he was a child. I went to the restaurant to wash the dishes, I went to the bathhouse to rub people's backs, and even went to the honeycomb coal factory to work as a child laborer... Anyway, he just went to the academy while working. ”

Tu Shaoheng had an expression of disbelief, "In this way, not only the Li family is ruthless, but our father's heart is also ruthless." ”

"Second brother, do you think that our royal throne is so easy to sit on? I heard that my father also went through a lot of hardships to ascend to the throne. My mother also said that only by enduring the hardships of the people's livelihood can you be a sober and good emperor. ”

"And what about later? Is the seventh emperor brother doing well in school? ”
