Chapter 276: Trickery Between Allies

This day's court meeting ended in the battle group of Confucianism of King Zhao, and the pre-prepared rhetoric of the prince's faction was useless!

So much so that after the dispersal of the dynasty, Huo Tan, who was so angry that he was alive, pulled Qiu Shuxia's sleeve and didn't let go, and he had to say: "His Royal Highness King Zhao's move today, isn't it planning to be a brother and a friend from now on?" If this is the case, the two kings have already formed an alliance, and it is reasonable to remind them, instead of stabbing them in the back like today! ”

Originally, King Wei was ready to fall into the well, and he was waiting for the court meeting today to unite with King Zhao's faction and attack the prince!

As a result, it's good now, King Zhao personally turned against the water, and the people who supported him naturally wouldn't sing against him in public - he alone put Huo Tan and other courtiers who supported King Wei to level, and the prince's faction and the neutral faction actually watched the excitement in the morning!

It's okay to be watched lively, the key is that the prince will be accused of making Zhao Wu's father and son murder Su Bofeng, but King Zhao, Su Bofeng's cousin, openly stood up and said that he believed that this matter was definitely not done by the prince, and others doubted the prince, this is no longer a matter of evidence and no evidence, this is simply nosy: the relatives of the victim have spoken, what do irrelevant people care?

All in all, if King Zhao ruthlessly proved his fairness and filial piety today, then King Wei is to serve as a foil for him, specifically to show that he is ruthless and unrighteous in taking advantage of others!

If the two kings of Wei and Zhao hadn't formed an alliance before, it would have been fine.

But there is an alliance between the two sides, how can Huo Tan not be angry?

It's just that Qiu Shuxia was also very helpless, pulled Huo Tan into the corner, and explained with a wry smile: "Lord Huo doesn't know: when we were discussing the Jianling bloody case before, His Royal Highness King Zhao asked whether the case was from the hands of the prince, and some people said that most of them were not, but His Royal Highness King Zhao was young and innocent, and he actually said that since this is the case, then he should correct the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - as for the position of the prince, he can take it in a grand manner!" This kind of youthful words, we naturally want to persuade them, but I never expected that His Royal Highness would actually ...... him."

Speaking of this, Qiu Shuxia couldn't help but sigh and shake her head, the color of disapproval overflowed, of course, it was more bitter and helpless: If the prince is not established, you, as the prince, can still say that you can perform well, and win the approval of the emperor and courtiers with your strength, and take it with dignity! Now how many years has the crown prince been established, you are originally grabbing your eldest brother's position, what are you talking about?

If it's really magnificent, then you should restrain your ambitions and be a quiet little prince, okay?!

The seizure of the prince was originally to carry the whole family into battle, and such an "innocent" prince was on the table, Qiu Shuxia's mood at the moment can be imagined!

"His Royal Highness King Zhao has always been resolute and resolute, how could he have such an idea?" Huo Tan looked at him as if he had just swallowed a handful of yellow lotus, and his tone subconsciously eased, but he still felt puzzled and dissatisfied, "Isn't he afraid of disappointing your trust?!" ”

- Although King Zhao is relatively young, he usually doesn't look like he has a brain problem! A word of conscience: Huo Tan has always felt that King Zhao is far better than King Wei before!

After all, King Zhao is the son of Queen Su and the nephew of the Su family, whether it is the queen or the Su family, although they support him to seize the crown prince, they do teach and guide him compared to Ming Jun's benchmarking;

And King Wei - his biological mother is not even qualified to raise him, although his adoptive mother Concubine Jiang Xian treated him well in his early years, but since he and Jiang Muyao married him, there have been gaps, although the eldest princess is his own aunt, but the eldest princess does not have the mind to raise her nephew as her own son!

She promised her biological daughter to the King of Wei, and she just wanted to find a puppet.

It is because these two princes are both nobles, and King Wei is still older, but in terms of bearing and knowledge, King Wei is not as good as King Zhao, which is also a matter of course.

But King Wei couldn't do stupid things, but King Zhao did it today - there is a way that no one is perfect, even if it is a prince who participated in the seizure of the prince, he can't always dress up flawlessly.

The problem is that some mistakes are inconsequential, and some mistakes cannot be made once: what King Zhao did today, in Huo Tan's view, is absolutely unacceptable!

Qiu Shuxia sighed: "Who would have thought of a young man's nature? Lord Huo, please rest assured, today's matter, we will definitely explain to Her Royal Highness the Acting Princess-I will go to the Jiguo Mansion and have a good talk with the Jiguo Prince! ”

He also pointed out, "The queen mother is only born to such a prince, so although His Royal Highness King Zhao is smart, he grew up in the golden and jade nobles, and it is inevitable to drill the tip of the horn occasionally." Fortunately, His Royal Highness has always been as good as a stream, and he will not disappoint us after he wants to come and go! ”

Co-authorship is a problem that the queen is used to?!

Huo Tan sighed in his heart - sure enough, a male heir cannot be longer than a woman's hand!

However, although he was angry with King Zhao's demolition, but now that the prince is still the prince, the alliance between the two kings of Wei and Zhao still has the basis for existence, and of course he doesn't want to turn his face with Qiu Shuxia. After complaining a few more words, he let go of his hand and let Qiu Shuxia go.

But he didn't know that Qiu Shuxia, who complained to King Zhao in front of him, came to the Duke of Ji Guo, but he clapped his hands and laughed, and said: "His Royal Highness King Zhao is the son of the main palace, even if he intends to seize the prince, he will not lose his heart after all!" ”

"This is also a coincidence, his innocent heart is crooked." Compared with Qiu Shuxia's appreciation, Ji Guogong looked casual, and said in a flat tone, "Qingzhou is where my Su family's Sangzi is located, and Zhao Wu went there to be a parent official, how can my Su family not check his bottom carefully?" Bofeng's matter really has nothing to do with the prince. This point, not only do we know, but the Queen Mother and Her Majesty also know this! ”

Therefore, "Today's court, even if you join forces with the King of Wei and attack the prince to the fullest, after the Queen Mother and Her Majesty know about it, they don't mention it on their lips, how can they not kill each other in their hearts?" It is better to let King Zhao come forward to defend the crown prince, showing his benevolence of respecting his eldest brother and loving his siblings! ”

- King Zhao expressed his disapproval of the practice of framing the crown prince the day before, if it weren't for the fact that this move should be in line with Ji Guogong's arrangement for him, it would be a question whether he could appear in the court today, let alone fight with Huo Tan and others in person!

The Su family is now desperately planning this seizure of the crown, how can they allow King Zhao's youthful naivety and bad deeds?

"That's what I said, but rumors are raging in the imperial capital, and anyone with a discerning eye knows the source of this rumor." Qiu Shuxia stroked her beard under her chin and said with a smile, "Seeing that as long as you push it, the prince may fall from the nine skies, how many people can hold it and retreat instead of advancing?" ”

"The Queen Mother's change of mind is nothing more than to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess." Ji Guogong said indifferently, "But I don't belong to King Wei!" Moreover, although the Queen Mother chose the former between the acting princess and the crown prince, for the latter, it is by no means completely ruthless - it is His Royal Highness King Zhao who shows a tolerant and generous mind on this eye bone, and it will definitely enter the eyes of the queen mother: after all, this is the only hope to protect the princess and the prince at the same time! ”

He narrowed his eyes, "So right now, His Royal Highness King Zhao's innocence is a good thing to show some appropriately." But the predecessors said that 'governing the country with righteousness, using soldiers with odds, and taking the world with nothing', Ming Jun still has to know some strange ways after all - fortunately, King Zhao is still young, and he will teach it slowly in the future! ”

"The ancient sages often said, 'The politician is right', and the so-called 'the ruler is the right person, the right heart is the right court, the right court is the right hundred officials, the right hundred officials are the right people, and the right people are the Quartet. The Quartet is square, and there is no one who dares not to be upright, and there is no evil spirit in the meantime'. Qiu Shuxia agreed with his words, but also felt, "It can be seen that the most important thing in the way of the king is 'positive'." ”

He is a person who attaches great importance to etiquette, and the reason why he supports King Zhao has a fundamental relationship with King Zhao's concubine in the middle palace, so he naturally hopes that King Zhao will always maintain a fair and dignified state of mind - as for saying that this kind of mentality has no hope of ascending the throne at all, this is the task of those who support King Zhao to seize the crown.

In a word: what is the dirty work, they come, King Zhao only needs to concentrate on studying the way of a virtuous monarch.

Ji Guogong was noncommittal to his thoughts, and only said: "The Queen Mother has the intention of abolishing the prince, although today's court meeting is because of His Royal Highness King Zhao, the attack on the prince cannot be stopped." But the queen mother must have a future move - what I am worried about is the prince's sword! ”

Qiu Shuxia savored these words, her face changed color slightly, and said, "Vertical Zi'an dares to do this?!" He was brought up by His Majesty! ”

"Since ancient times, there have been no fathers and sons, not to mention what people will do in a desperate situation, no one can say!" Ji Guo took a sip of tea fairly, "Next, when we sit and wait for the Queen Mother to make a move, we also have to make some preparations, in the end, he is a righteous prince!" ”

Qiu Shuxia solemnly received: "I will send someone to keep an eye on every move of the East Palace!" ”

At the same time, the acting princess was also pointing out Huo Tan: "This idea must have come up with Su Nianyi's old fox - the purpose is to use your attack on the prince today to show King Zhao's benevolence!" Don't look at Qiu Shuxia and whisper to you, in fact, it's just perfunctory! ”

She sneered slightly, "No matter how good King Zhao's qualifications are, at such an age, with his own alone, where does he have the ability to compete for the throne?" The Su family is fighting against the water, if you don't hold his words and demeanor in the palm of your hand, how can you rest assured?! So what he did, no matter whether it was outrageous or not, there must be the acquiescence of the Su family behind it! ”

Huo Tan's face changed when he heard this: "Your Highness is saying that the Su family is going to break up the gang this time?!" ”

"That's not true!" The eldest princess shook her head and said, "The prince hasn't fallen yet, and it won't be good for them to break up the gang, it's just an idea to fight with sandpipers and mussels and make profits for the fishermen!" ”

The eldest princess's eyes flashed with a faint cold glint, and she said lightly, "It's just that the reason why the prince is in a precarious situation is because of the planning of this palace." The Su family wants to take advantage of the palace, but it's not so easy! ”

She stroked the delicate golden peony on her wide sleeves, and smiled neatly, "Didn't Qiu Shuxia say that she would give an explanation to the palace for this matter today?" This palace now thinks that King Zhao has done a good job - there is no need to wait for them to explain, you can send someone to send a message to the past: This palace is very much in favor of thoroughly investigating the Jianling bloodbath case, and returning the prince to a clean slate! ”

After a pause, she said, "In view of the fact that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military today, only King Zhao came out to speak for the prince, and this palace thinks that it is most appropriate for this matter to be presided over by King Zhao!" ”
