Succession to the throne is no joke.

Royal bloodline, there is absolutely no room for confusion. Not only must there be the presence of the Zongren Mansion at birth, but also the jade must be written into the jade to be eligible.

Even if Yang Shu is really the illegitimate son of the emperor, even the emperor himself recognizes it, that won't work.

As long as his name is not on the jade, then he is not a clan.

And the inclusion of illegitimate children in jade is itself a difficult thing.

What's more, he is not an illegitimate child, but the legacy of the former prince, and the emperor will never recognize his identity.

In other words, Yang Shu wanted that position, and it was untenable at all.

He has no legitimacy, no inheritance.

If you want to seize the throne, there is only one way, and that is to rebel.

But will the Zong family rebel against him? Of course not.

Three generations of them have guarded the border, and almost none of the sons and daughters in the family have died on the battlefield.

Such a person, why bother to follow the nameless Yang Shu to do such a rebellious thing?

If it is really done, the prestige stained by the blood of generations will be completely ruined.

Zong Rui really couldn't figure out why his father would say something like that.

This is a question that doesn't need to be chosen at all, and Yang Shu doesn't even need to mention it. Where did he get the confidence to ask the Zong family to vote for him?

Zong Xu sighed.

His eldest son is a fierce general, who goes into battle to kill the enemy and is brave.

However, in the political situation, there is a lack of acumen.

How can people be perfect? Zong Xu is still very satisfied with his eldest son, after all, the Zong family relies on the ability to fight, and he can teach others.

"It's really a good idea to solve all the problems." Zong Xu said calmly, "But if we do this, how will we face the ancestral teachings? Loyal to the monarch and defend the country, protect the family and protect the people, this is what the ancestors said. Now, knowing that he is the legacy of the former prince and is not at fault, for the sake of his own glory, he shot him to death, what face will he go to see the ancestor in the future? And in what face did you go to see Emperor Taizu? Killing the blood of Taizu for personal purposes is not a loyal monarch. There is no punishment for wrongdoing, let alone protecting the people. As long as we do this, the faith of the Zong family will be ruined. ”

Zong Rui said: "The child didn't want to kill him, he just ......"

"What else can we do without killing him? Should we report such important matters to the Holy One? If you report it, how is it different from killing him? If you don't report it, won't you become an accomplice with him? Holding the same secret, or saying the secret that we will raid the family and exterminate the clan, in the future, we will be subject to him, wouldn't it be equivalent to voting for him? ”

Zong Rui said categorically: "Dad, why do you think so much? The boy never wanted to kill him, but he wanted to threaten us, and that was impossible. Not to do anything to him is to be true to your beliefs. As for what he is going to do, it's his business. If he wants to threaten us with this, then he will cover it up with water. This incident also made the child think clearly, trying to hide a mistake will only make us more and more wrong. Big deal, let's go to the Holy One and plead guilty! We don't feel sorry, someone must be willing to reason with us! ”

He said these words with a straight face, which made Zong Xu stunned.

From the perspective of politics alone, it is full of taken for granted naivety, but the truth in it makes him taste it again and again.

Isn't it because of this upright and naïve that the Zong family can stand on the basis of three generations? In order to reassure the emperor, they can discredit themselves, but beyond that, what political tactics have they used? If they are bent on figuring out the Divine Will, will they still be able to fight a good battle?

Zong Xu was still thinking about it, and Yang Shu had already clapped his hands and praised: "The words of the eldest prince of Zong made me look at it differently. General Zong, I can't say that I don't think about it at all, but you really think about it a little too much. Ben Gongzi doesn't have that much appetite, and he can't swallow the Northwest Army. ”

Zong Xu twisted his eyebrows: "What does the third prince mean by breaking this matter?" ”

Yang Shu said with a smile: "I just want General Zong to understand the current situation, if you don't kill me, we must share a secret." As for the future, I am just trying to survive now, where can I use the opportunity of the sect family? ”

"You're not going to threaten us?"

Yang Shu smiled: "What are you doing?" Do you want you to help me rebel? In that case, I'll be a thief. ”

"You don't want to ......"

"I don't know what you guys think." Yang Shu interrupted him, "Even if the identity of this prince is made public to the world, there will be no threat to the throne." After all, even my father is dead, and in terms of orthodoxy, where can it compare to today? There is no possibility, why do you want to do so much? ”

"You ...... before"

"The surname Lin thinks that the descendants of the King of Qin and the King of Jin all want to rebel, so I want to rebel? And it's too much to take for granted. Didn't you see them all buried in the ground? Ben Gongzi lives so happily, why bother to find this uncomfortable? ”

"This ......"

Yang Shu said bitterly: "You don't look at my situation. Liang Zhang was completely offended before, and there was another disturbance on the grassland, and it was good that Lord Hu didn't send someone to assassinate us. There is no one in the court, the Yang family is not close to me, the Pei family ignores me, and Lu Xiang is not a friend here. You say, "I can't get any of them, so why should I rebel?" The two cousins still have a title, what am I? ”

The father and son of the Zong family listened to it and pondered it carefully, as if they were ...... Makes sense?

"What I said before was just the words of General Zongda, who put it to death and came back to life. I'm afraid that if you use your brains and want to exchange my head for that person's trust, then I will lose a lot. Block you with words first, so that you can open up the net and help me hide it together, so that even if those people in Liuyang County want to do something, I will not be alone. How about it, General Zong, I don't ask too much, right? ”

Zong Xu thought for a long time and nodded slowly: "Our sect family must be worthy of the emperor's thick soil when doing things. Since the third prince doesn't have such thoughts, we don't talk much about this matter. ”

Yang Shu smiled: "Then let's talk about it." Tonight's events should have never happened. If they do spread rumors out there, the General needs to help me. ”

"This is nature, helping the third son is helping myself."

"In a word."

"It's hard to chase a horse."

The two sides nodded to each other, and Zong Xu raised his hand: "Third son, please go to the camp tent to rest." ”

"Thank you."

The people took the soldiers and horses and returned to the camp tent set up by Zongxu.

Yang Shu entered the camp tent and waved the others away, leaving only Mingwei and Ning Xiu.

Mingwei sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "You are really good at deceiving people." ”

Yang Shu looked innocent: "Where did I deceive people?" Isn't it all true? ”

Ming Wei glanced at him and changed Zong Xu's sentence to another one: "Since you want to maintain the same secret, the two sides are in a gang, so what's the difference between it and voting for you?" ”

Yang Shu laughed: "I said I wouldn't rebel earlier......"

"The goal is too ambitious, and no one may believe the truth, but the lies are reasonable one by one." Mingwei shook his head and sighed, "People, ......"
