The news of Xiao Rui's return soon came out, and for this prince who won a great victory in the history of the Great Zhou, everyone naturally understood that his power in the future would be unshakable. There are more and more people stammering.

But Xiao Rui only went to the military department a few times, and then went to the palace a few times, and went to Concubine Li's mother in the inner palace a few times, so he stayed in his palace all the time, closed the door to thank guests, claiming that he was injured and wanted to recuperate. For such a reason, everyone dare not speak, people are fighting for the country, and now they are injured, can they not let others recuperate?

It was Xiao Xi, the king of Jin, who invited Xiao Rui a few times, but Xiao Rui didn't pay attention. Xiao Rui also has a temper, okay, he is a dignified prince, he has military power in his hands, in the harem, the virtuous concubine deals with Concubine Li, and his mother is calculated, he has no temper, so it's strange.

In the mansion of King Jin, King Xiao Xi of Jin was discussing with a few right-hand men.

Xiao Xi frowned and said, "Hey, this king has already said that he is a concubine." At this age, what are you still competing for? Who else can get past her? Now the middle palace is empty, and the highest positions in the palace are the mother concubine and Concubine Li. In the future, if this king succeeds, the mother concubine will be even more respected, and what else do you want to do with those vain favors? Why do you have to deal with Concubine Li, who has always been indisputable? ”

"It's okay now, I offended Concubine Li's mother, and now, someone's son is back, but anyone who is panting can't watch his mother being bullied? Originally, the good relationship between the two of us brothers was ruined for her. Now it's a good thing, this king wants to visit the third brother in person, but he has turned it down. The king invited him to come to the palace many times, but he also refused. Doesn't this make it clear that you have an opinion about this king? ”

For Concubine Xian's stupid behavior, several of Xiao Xi's right-hand men have long been dissatisfied. Song Shihong sighed, sometimes women are stupid and have no way. However, even if he was a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials and the uncle of Princess Jin, he did not dare to directly follow Xiao Xi to scold Concubine Xian. Because they are seeking that position for Xiao Xi, once they succeed, the virtuous concubine will become the queen mother, that is the most noble person in the world, who dares to offend?

Song Shihong shut up, but if someone didn't shut up, that is, Concubine Xian's brother Wei Nanhou Li Longyi was unwilling, he said: "King Jin, it's not right for you to say this. Niangniang fought with Concubine Li Niangniang for power in the palace, is it just for her own favor? Aren't you afraid that the prince born by Concubine Li will override you in the future? Didn't you acquiesce in the first place? Why do you regret it now? ”

Xiao Xi was suddenly said to be in the sore spot, of course he was unhappy, he was used to pushing the responsibility outside when something happened. After all, his status is noble, so naturally someone will take the blame. However, this time, in the face of his maternal uncle, he didn't want to take the blame, and he couldn't say anything to back him up with words.

After all, what Wei Nanhou said was very right, when Concubine Xian Niangniang did these things, she also acquiesced in Xiao Xi's approval. Even, he also used some of Xiao Xi's connections in the palace. At that time, Xiao Xi also had the idea of getting rid of the four princes and Concubine Li. Although the four princes are still very young, it is unlikely that they can compete with him now, but if Emperor Changping can live for more than ten years, wouldn't the four princes grow up. At that time, wouldn't it be a great threat to him, after all, he was only one person, and the fourth prince had an elder brother who was the prince of Wuzong.

Back then, the prince ignored him, because there was a big age difference between Xiao Xi and the prince back then, and the difference between the two was nearly ten years old. So, the prince ignored him. When he grows up, isn't it that the prince was forced to mess up and rebel and be imprisoned?

Xiao Xi doesn't want to repeat this kind of history on himself.

However, Xiao Xi agreed with the old lady to get rid of the four princes, he didn't expect that Concubine Xian would be so stupid, she planned a few times, shot a few times, and the four princes and Concubine Li were all fine. Even, Concubine Li's power in the palace has become more and more stable, and now she can compete with Concubine Xian.

Now, Xiao Rui, the third prince who was out on the battlefield, has returned, and he has made monstrous achievements. With military power in hand and great military achievements, with such a tough backstage, wouldn't Concubine Li and the four princes be like tigers. It is estimated that in the harem in the future, his own mother will not be able to fight Concubine Li at all.

What about yourself? Because of the things in the palace, he also offended Xiao Rui, the third prince who had a good relationship. Without the support of Xiao Rui, the future regent, it is still a little more difficult for him to become the crown prince. Even, Xiao Rui has a distinct personality, and he doesn't even bother to cover the fig leaf, and directly shows that the carriage and horse have no relationship with him.

In this way, it is not only a matter of offending Xiao Rui, but also some important ministers and families in the court to see the discord between the two brothers. Those courtiers who are on Xiao Rui's side, where will they support themselves.

The more Xiao Xi thought about it, the more angry he became.

Seeing that Xiao Xi's face was getting worse and worse, Shi Fang hurriedly played a round: "His Royal Highness King Jin doesn't have to worry." King Qin doesn't associate with our side, in fact, it's not entirely a bad thing. Today, the emperor is still in good health, and last month, in the harem, there were concubines who gave birth to a little princess. Such an emperor in his prime didn't want to see the prince and military power involved. Although there are many courtiers on our side, there are basically no generals. Therefore, there was no taboo committed by the emperor. Now, the King of Qin has military power in his hands, if he is as good friends with us as before, I am afraid that it will cause the taboo of the emperor and embark on the old road of abolishing the prince. ”

Saying this, sure enough, Xiao Xi's face was much better: "Well, what Shi Fang said makes sense." So what do we do next? ”

When Fang said: "Although the King of Qin has opinions about us, your Royal Highness the King of Jin is your brother's after all. King Qin has made meritorious contributions to the country and is injured, so as an elder brother, even if he doesn't want to see him, you should give a gift, medicine or something. As for whether he takes it or not, that's his business, and if you do it anyway. Such a situation must be appreciated by the emperor. ”

This is too reasonable, Xiao Xi is really satisfied with Shi Fang, he smiled and said: "Shi Fang is really the right-hand man of this king." That's it. The king turned around and asked the princess to prepare a gift and send it. ”

Shi Fang smiled. With a burst of pride in his heart, Xiao Xi obeyed his words, in the future, if Xiao Xi really ascended the throne, his official position as a second-grade person would definitely rise again, even if he became the prime minister, it was very possible. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Song Shihong.

Sure enough, I saw that Song Shihong was looking at himself with unkind eyes. When Fang had expected it, he didn't care at all, and he brought it slightly, which made Song Shihong's face even more ugly.
