Shen Huashan left Shen Zejing behind, talking about the distribution of Jingzhao's forces, and also to discuss the trend of the situation in Jingzhao, he always had a bad premonition, feeling that the Dayong Dynasty would roll in waves from now on, and the courtiers in the center of the waves rarely had a calm time.

"The second prince is about to marry the military department Shangshu, and the help of the Chen family must be attributed to the second prince. The five princes also won the emperor's eyes because of the envoys, and the Zhou family, the mother of the third prince, also had a lot of power, and the Zhou family and Concubine Mu also had a deep friendship. In this way, the situation in Jingzhao is even more unpredictable. Shen Huashan said this, straightening out the situation in Jingzhao, these three princes all have their own powers, and they are all adults, and other princes will grow up one after another, and I am afraid that there will be more variables in the future, so that Shen Zejing will be more vigilant.

"According to my son's observation, the water has not yet cleared, and everyone is still afraid to go down, and all the officials in the ministry have been very calm recently." If you want to say that there is wind and grass, except for the palace province, the ministry is the most well-informed, but in Shen Zejing's opinion, the water in Jingzhao is too deep and turbid, everyone is still holding a wait-and-see attitude, no official dares to enter the water easily, and the court is very calm.

"The prince's body is ......" Shen Zejing said at the beginning, but he stopped and didn't say any more, Shen Huashan also knew what he meant, the prince's health is something that everyone is very concerned about, but it is also undetectable; Moreover, Shen Huashan always believes that this prince, who has been weak since he was a child, has never asked about political affairs, and even the Zhan Mansion is not worthy of it, and his influence on the government has been limited for many years, and it really has nothing to do with the overall situation.

The prince's frailty is his own misfortune, but also the misfortune of the entire Dayong Dynasty, if the prince is healthy, the princes will not have thoughts that they shouldn't have, and the situation in Jingzhao will not be as turbulent as it is now.

"There is no news from the Shang Pharmacy Bureau, after all, it is still like that, as long as the emperor does not move for a day, we as courtiers must not act rashly, besides, Ning'er and they are still young, now the five princes are eighteen years old, if you want to choose the concubine, you will not pick them for a while, our Shen family still has a lot of leeway." Shen Zejing was silent for a while, and then said. In the past few months at Jingzhao, he has more clearly felt the undercurrent hidden beneath the calm. The battle for succession, from the dragon's work, relatives and ministers, the slightest carelessness is the scourge of raiding the family and destroying the clan, and the Shen family does not dare to take this step easily, so he treats everything in Jingzhao with an extremely cautious heart.

"The most important thing that Jingzhao lacks is cautious officials. This is a very important step, and no one dares to take it lightly. In any case, Xiyan and Dayong are temporarily calm, even if there is any dispute between the DPRK and China, they are not afraid of being attacked on their backs, but I don't know how long such a dispute will last, peace is rare. Shen Huashan sighed a little, as long as the prince does not die for a day, such a situation will be maintained day by day, and as courtiers, they will not be able to make up their minds.

"Father said yes. Fortunately, this time the problem of mutual market was successfully solved. Now the situation in Jingzhao is not obvious, let's wait and see. The child also feels that there will be no less things during this period of time. Shen Zejing was a little worried, maybe his own worries were also the worries of most Jingzhao officials, this situation is unknown.

"In short, now is not the time to stand in line......" This study conversation ended with Shen Huashan's words.

At the same time, the Five Princes' Mansion, Shangguan Changzhi and Xu Sansi and others were also discussing Emperor Changtai's thoughts. Although he failed to show anything in the mutual market dispute, he was still appreciated by Emperor Changtai after all, and at the same time, the officials of Honglu Temple were also close to him, and his mother concubine was also promoted to a noble concubine, Shangguan Changzhi was also satisfied with everything recently, he looked at the horsewhip, remembered the jealous expressions of the second and third children, and there was a slight smugness on his face.

"Tell me what is the purpose of the Emperor's reward for this whip?" Although he was also proud, Shangguan Changzhi couldn't guess Emperor Changtai's intentions, did he really praise him or roast him on the fire? From the moment he won the Xiyan Riding Technique, he knew that he would inevitably fall into such a contradiction, but he didn't want to lose, even if the power was not yet stable, he didn't want to lose, he had to let Emperor Changtai and the court officials know that in addition to the second prince and the third prince, there was also a fifth prince, and this fifth prince could be civil and martial, and he was a prince who could inherit the will of the Dayong Imperial Family, and he wanted to attract the attention of Emperor Changtai, so he couldn't lose.

But winning this horsewhip is equivalent to facing the scrutiny and sophistication of the other two imperial brothers in advance, what does it mean that the father rewarded this horsewhip that he used when he was in the hidden dragon? He couldn't figure it out, so he summoned the staff of the Five Princes' Mansion to solve his doubts.

"The emperor's holy candle shines, and he naturally has a good intention." Li Ze'an thought about it and thought that Emperor Changtai must have other thoughts. It is a capital sin to pretend that intentions are capital crimes, but if you don't want to know it, what awaits them will be more uncomfortable than death. The crown prince has not died for a day, and the other princes can only compete in secret, Emperor Changtai has been in power for thirty-five years, and he was not a grandson or a long-term at the time, but finally ascended to the throne, and now this situation is so similar to the beginning, if he has no other ideas, several people present do not believe it.

"The holy brother is now only the young king, and what he has done in recent days seems to be accumulating power for the princes, attracting the military forces for the second prince, and promoting the noble concubine Niangniang for the master, if there are other arrangements for the third prince next, then this statement will make sense." Today's Five Princes' Mansion, there is one more person, this person has never been very involved in the daily affairs of the Five Princes' Mansion, this time Shangguan Changzhi specially invited him to come, it was this person who said this, he pointed out that the reason why Emperor Changtai did this was to add power to these adult princes, that is, to point out that the real candidates for the prince in Emperor Changtai's mind would not be these adult princes.

"Then, that is to say, in case of the crown prince, then the position of the prince will definitely not fall on me, the second child, and the third child." Following this meaning, Shangguan Changzhi thought more deeply and understood better, and of course, his face was even more terrifying. Now that he has emerged, he has left an impression on Emperor Changtai and the courtiers, letting Emperor Changtai and the courtiers know that he also has the heart to compete for the crown prince. If the future candidate for the crown prince is not him, then what awaits him will be nothing more obvious. At least he is idle and free, and if he is heavy, he will be imprisoned, no matter which one is severe, it is not what Shangguan Changzhi wants! However, can he hide his little thoughts about the crown prince's position from his father, who has reigned for 35 years and is longer than the emperor's mental skills? In this regard, Shangguan Changzhi did not hold out much hope.

What the? Is there someone else who the emperor really likes? Who could it be? The Ten Princes? Or the Twelve Princes? But is it possible that they are all so young? In case this speculation is true, then...... So...... Several of the staff members' faces changed slightly, and they didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"There's nothing to think about, naturally it's in accordance with my father's wishes, since he let us accumulate power, then we just take this opportunity to develop our power, it just so happens that my Fifth Prince's Mansion is weak now, and it is the time when we need to develop our strength the most......" For a long time, Shangguan Changzhi said, his face was still as gentle and elegant as usual, except that his eyes seemed to be dark and unfathomable, and the hands hidden under the table were also clenched and full of green tendons.

"That's right, we just don't know ......" Xu Sansi soon reacted. The emperor's heart is unpredictable and unpredictable, so they who are even courtiers have better follow Emperor Changtai's mind without a trace, otherwise, what they are waiting for is a dead end. Of course, if they follow the emperor's heart, their own wishes can be fulfilled, which is the proper way for a courtier.

"Your Highness is right, and we should do it right now. His Royal Highness's victory in the competition with Xiyan has attracted the attention of the emperor, as long as this attention is deepened and continued, the emperor will definitely look at His Highness differently, and the prince will not improve for a while, and His Royal Highness will take this opportunity to develop his own power. That person listened to the words of Shangguan Changzhi, Xu Sansi and others, and then nodded and said.

"So dare to ask my uncle, how to develop the power in the current situation? The second child has already made a marriage with the Chen family, originally I planned to sabotage this marriage on the Flower Dynasty Festival, but I hated to let the Chen family girl escape! The second child already has a lot of power, and with the help of the Chen family, he must be far ahead. "Although I thought of taking the opportunity to develop my own power, Shangguan Changzhi didn't have a specific charter, and he married like the second child? But it will have to wait a few years, and there is a third child in front of me, and when I wait for myself, I am afraid that the general trend will go.

"Your Highness need not worry. The news that Weichen heard from the Shang Pharmacy is that His Royal Highness the Prince's body can last for three or five years, as long as the Prince is still there, His Royal Highness the Second and Third Highnesses can only wait silently because of the righteousness. In the past few years, it has been His Highness's opportunity. The man's voice was a little smiling, but he did not answer Shangguan Changzhi's question directly.

"For this reason, Weichen has three strategies, please listen carefully. In the past few years, His Royal Highness must clearly know which family will be more helpful to win the heir, so which family the five princesses will come from, and to build a good relationship with this family, you must know that the family of the important ministers, this family matter, will not be easily agreed; The second strategy, to establish a virtuous voice in the government and the opposition, as long as you win the hearts of the courtiers and the people, you will win half of the succession. In the past few years, His Royal Highness has to look at the situation, or be stingy with people and money, and seize the opportunity to show his reputation, such as the performance of resources and disaster relief, and not sparing himself; Three strategies to win the emperor's heart. If His Royal Highness wants to show his filial piety and talent in front of the emperor, he must go to the Zichen Palace to ask for peace and ask questions, and it is best to install one or two candidates in the Zichen Palace, so as to exchange news. And the noble concubines in the palace will also become the help of His Royal Highness, if the emperor's favor for the noble concubines is above all the concubines, then the emperor's attention to His Royal Highness is above all the princes! His Royal Highness and your concubine's mother and son are of the same heart, inside and out, why worry about it? ”

That person's words, Shangguan Changzhi smiled, his eyes shone brightly, these three strategies are the three good strategies of the Five Princes' Mansion to deal with the current situation!

"As long as you follow these three strategies, no matter what the emperor thinks, no matter how the situation develops, His Highness will definitely get his wish. This is called: Jane in the Emperor's Heart. The man smiled and finally said.
