"His Royal Highness King Yu, since you have already seen that it was deliberately done by His Majesty, why are you in a hurry?"

King Yu's heart shook slightly, he thought about this sentence carefully, and asked slowly: "What does Mr. mean ......?"

"At that time, after Xie Yu's case, I persuaded His Royal Highness to stop the prince a little, and he was poor and not chased, it seems that His Royal Highness was so soft-hearted that I came to chat?"

King Yu thought that there seemed to be such a thing, and couldn't help but eat: "Mr. only mentioned that, this king thinks it doesn't matter......"

At this point, he himself stopped. It is true that Su Zhe is his adviser, but from the perspective of the active and passive relationship, this Qilin genius has never had a positive attitude, and he is willing to mention it, which is to express his opinion, as for whether he listens to it or not, he has never forced it. It was his fault for not taking his proposal seriously.

"Even if the crown prince has been, it is also the prince established by His Majesty, His Royal Highness has been coerced too much recently, and he has already touched His Majesty's rebellion." Mei Changsu sighed and shook his head, "Hasn't His Highness felt the grace that has been slipping away recently?" ”

"Truly, it is true. My father has been very cold recently, and this king is also puzzled. ”

"What's so difficult about this," Mei Changsu said unceremoniously, "A prince of the East Palace was so pressed by His Highness that he couldn't raise his head, and the courtiers bowed his head, and no one dared to pick up His Highness's edge, do you think Your Majesty is happy to see this, and you still need to be gracious and encouraged?" ”

"But...... But his father has always been ......"

"That's right, Your Majesty has always supported your dispute with the crown prince. But the development of this situation is something he did not expect. The fall of several major Shangshu, the court debate on the theory of the concubine, the incident of the east window of the private artillery workshop, and the shocking case of Xie Yu, these things all happened unexpectedly to His Majesty, and he counted them all on Your Highness. Do you think, without the intentional help of His Majesty, you have the ability to break the wings of a prince of the East Palace, and the court has repeatedly lost the upper hand, how can Your Majesty not be shocked, not suspicious, and not suppress your momentum? ”

He said all the way, King Yu was in a cold sweat all the way, and when he was finished, he immediately arched his hand and said: "This king has been a little rash recently, but there is a way to redeem it?" ”

"Your Highness doesn't need to be too alarmed. His Majesty intends to show mercy to King Jing in order to remind you to calm down and remember who the Supreme First Person is, which is also an attitude to protect you. I see that His Majesty has become disgusted with the crown prince, and it is only a matter of time before he is easy to be accredited, but it is just ...... The crown prince can only be deposed by His Majesty when he is disappointed and disgusted with him, instead of being replaced by His Royal Highness, you repeatedly attack and forcibly seize prestige, I believe that Your Highness will not understand the difference between the two, right? ”

King Yu is a person who is good at calculating people's hearts and judging the situation, there is no need to point more thoroughly, his heart is already bright, he sat down slowly, nodded and said: "Yes, the more at this time, the more you can't be in a hurry." My father's grace to King Jing is nothing more than to see my reaction, as long as I take a wrong step, the consequences are unpredictable, and it is better to brake quietly. ”

Mei Changsu's eyes showed approval, and he smiled: "Your Highness's biggest opponent now is still the crown prince, but King Jing's side must not be guarded against, please Miss Qin pay more attention." ”

King Yu bowed his head, the expression on his face gradually became relaxed, he looked at Mei Changsu and said with a smile: "If Mr. is willing to live in my mansion, he will ask for advice sooner or later, and he will not be so unprofitable." ”

He wanted Mei Changsu to move up to eight times ten times, and he was not discouraged when he was repeatedly rejected, but it was a frame for seeking talents, but unfortunately no matter how well the frame was placed, he still wouldn't agree to what he couldn't promise.

"What Su should say and do is not hidden," Mei Changsu leaned back in the chair, relaxed his limbs, and looked calm, "Even if I move to the palace to disturb, I won't say a word, what's the difference?" ”

King Yu immediately persuaded: "I know that Mr. Su is wild and unrestrained, but in fact, there are no rules in my house, and Mr. can do whatever he wants." ”

Mei Changsu secretly sneered in his heart. Now that they have come to be strategists, what kind of wild crane hat do they wear? But he still had to have a smile on his face, and politely refused: "Your Highness is planning things, and the rules still can't be dispersed, how can you make an exception for Su?" …… By the way, Xie Yu's case is over, I don't know how His Royal Highness plans to settle the Zhuo family? ”

"Naturally, I will take more care of them and let them go back to Tianquan Villa to live a stable life. The Zhuo family has its own foundation, but there is no need for this king to worry too much. ”

"That's right. Although Zhuo Dingfeng is injured, the foundation of Tianquan Villa is still there, and after this catastrophe, there will still be a day of prestige in the future. Mei Changsu thought for a while and said, "Although the Zhuo family still has some power in the rivers and lakes, after all, they are Xie Yu's surplus people, and His Royal Highness can no longer use them, so it is better to let them get out in peace, and His Royal Highness will have a good name." ”

King Yu's heart moved, his original meaning was of course to make the best use of things, thinking that the Zhuo family might be able to work for him when and where, at this time, listening to Mei Changsu say this, he hurriedly said: "Although the forces of the rivers and lakes can't go to the court, they also have its unique use, no matter how injured the Zhuo family is, how much strength does it have, why ...... it?"

"With Su here, what are the rivers and lakes that His Highness is still worried about?" Mei Changsu said lightly.

What King Yu was waiting for was the words of the sect master of the Jiangzuo League, and when he was overjoyed, he touched his lips and said with a smile: "What I said is that even if Tianquan Villa is in full swing, it may not be in the eyes of Mr. Su." ”

"Your Highness has won the prize, but I dare not say such arrogant words." Although Mei Changsu was humble, his expression was cold, his face was arrogant like frost, and there was a self-confidence in his bones that was difficult to ignore. When King Yu thought of this mysterious and famous Qilin genius now under his command, he felt indescribable joy and pride in his heart, and the sullen anger when he came in had long since disappeared.

At this time, the main words were almost finished, King Yu wanted to talk more and get closer to the relationship, but after talking about a few topics, Mei Changsu just replied, and he had no interest in talking, plus Feiliu had been staring at him with burning eyes beside him, King Yu had to get up and politely say goodbye, and the master really didn't stay.

After King Yu left the house, Mei Changsu coaxed Feiliu a few words, left the unhappy young man with a black face outside, opened the secret door by himself, and dodged in.

Following the tunnel of the mechanism, he came to the secret room with a familiar car, and as soon as he entered the stone gate, this extremely difficult to move Jiang Zuo Meilang was taken aback.

Meng Zhi was not the only person in the secret room, he stood by the wall with his hands in his hands, heard the sound of the stone door moving, and immediately turned back, and the person sitting on the table and chair, looking at "Xiangdi Ji" by the light, was actually Xiao Jingyan, the king of Jing.

"Mr. Su is here," Meng Zhi stepped forward to beckon, "His Royal Highness King Shicaijing was just as shocked when he saw me. I have already explained to His Highness how I ended up here. ”

King Jing put down the book in his hand and asked Anran, "Is King Yu gone?" ”

Mei Changsu fixed his mind and stepped forward to salute: "I've seen Your Highness." King Yu has just left. ”

"Sir has already met King Yu, and some things must have been known......"

"Yes," Mei Changsu nodded slightly, "I heard that His Majesty ordered you to control the patrol camp, and I also intend to make you the prince." ”

"Huh?" King Jing was stunned for a moment, "It is true that I have ordered the patrol camp to be controlled, but what the prince said, there is no such thing." ”

"Isn't there a special decree for your majesty to allow you to enter the palace at any time?"

"That's ...... In the future, I will go to my mother to say goodbye, and I will be able to do whatever I want, and I don't need to ask for any other request. ”

"King Yu is so angry about this. Hasn't His Highness noticed that this is a privilege that has always been reserved for the Prince? ”

King Jing got this permission at that time, but he was just happy that he could meet his mother at any time, and he didn't think of going anywhere else, and was reminded by Mei Changsu, and he was slightly happy in his heart, but he immediately hesitated, "I really didn't think about it so much...... Today is the birthday of the mother's concubine, maybe the father is just a temporary favor, and there is no intention of being promoted. ”

Mei Changsu sighed slightly and said, "I think it's eight or nine and ten." His Royal Highness should have been promoted to the crown prince, which should have been a natural thing a long time ago, even if His Majesty did not think of it when he casually promised, the inner court would inevitably remind His Majesty that this was the prince's prerogative when he drafted the decree afterwards. Once you are allowed to do the prince's business, but you refuse to add the title of prince for no reason, what kind of grace is that? Since His Majesty intends to be gracious, he will not do only half of the work, but it will make people feel uncomfortable. Therefore, as early as this month, and as late as mid-autumn before the pastoral sacrifice, it will definitely be officially promoted. ”

"That's good," Meng Zhixi said, "and it also saves His Royal Highness King Jing from bowing his head in front of King Yu every time." ”

"But...... Is it appropriate to do this now? King Jing narrowed his eyes, "Didn't Mr. keep calling me low-key?" ”

"This time and that time." Mei Changsu's expression was calm, "Your Highness's strength is still weak now, and keeping a low profile is naturally still the best policy." However, blindly retreating and stealth, not taking half a step, is not the best way. We don't fight with the patrol battalion, but we don't have to push it out when we get it. His Royal Highness has been in business for nearly a year, and if I can't even eat a patrol camp to deal with the aftermath now, Su will be responsible for being a strategist. I still say the same thing, Your Highness must not be rash, but it is definitely not allowed to enter. ”

"Okay." King Jing simply nodded, "Your Majesty allowed me to patrol the camp in person, but I had no choice but to accept it, and I have been worried about breaking Mr.'s rhythm." Since it doesn't hurt, that's for the best. But the crown prince and King Yu ......"

"The crown prince is difficult to protect himself now, he only has King Yu in his eyes, and His Royal Highness is Prince Jiajiuxi, and he will not be distracted to deal with you. As for King Yu, we have already persuaded him. If he listens to my will and does not embarrass His Highness, then His Highness will be able to take advantage of this time and opportunity to grow stronger; If he only takes my suggestion to his face, and in fact still can't hold back his jealousy, and has to suppress His Highness to be happy, then we will use our strength to bring some things to Your Majesty, and then the person who will be gracious will be the master of Your Highness. ”

"Isn't it wrong for King Yu to do anything?" Meng Zhi couldn't help laughing, "It's obviously an accident, but Mr. Su can plan the countermeasures so thoroughly, it's really admirable." ”

"It's the way it is." Mei Changsu had no smug look on his face, "If you bet the chance of success on the opponent's choice, then it is the next way." Only when there is a corresponding solution no matter how the opponent chooses, can it be regarded as a little bit of control of the overall situation. His Royal Highness is still a little far from that step, but now it is a little rooted. ”

Hearing him say this, King Jing's heart was much more stable. Since he made up his mind to clear his name, his desire and obsession for the throne have increased several times. In addition to studying diligently and taking every opportunity to increase his experience, he relied on Mei Changsu more than before in many ways, and consciously adjusted his instinctive dislike for strategists and did not let prejudice interfere with judgment.

Regarding King Jing's efforts, although Mei Changsu didn't say it, he was still quite happy in his heart, and sometimes mentioned it to Meng Zhi, his expression was very happy.

However, Mei Changsu didn't know that his happiness often made him feel inexplicably sad in Meng Zhi's eyes.

"Concubine Jing must be very happy today," at this time, Meng Zhi saw that the two of them were no longer talking, the scene was a little cold, and he hurriedly interjected, "With Your Majesty's grace, it will be much easier for Your Highness and Niangniang to meet in the future." ”

Of course, this sentence was nonsense, so King Jing just smiled and nodded in response. In fact, when King Jing and Mei Changsu met in the secret room in the past, the scene was not so cold, and after the party struggle, the two would discuss the specific government affairs, and they often chatted for an hour or two. But today Meng Zhi is here, King Jing doesn't want to say more, it's not that he can't trust the commander of the forbidden army, it's just that although Meng Zhi said that he wants to help him win the heir, he is still loyal to the monarch first and then to him in his bones, and in front of Meng Zhi, he said that the party struggle he has participated in is nothing, but he has different political opinions on the specific court affairs that the emperor has handled, King Jing is not willing to let Meng Zhi hear too much.

Xiao Jingyan's thoughts, Mei Changsu had already seen it, so he didn't provoke other topics, but when he saw that Meng Zhi was trying very hard to warm up, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The Great Commander is going to be early tomorrow, right?" It's time for Your Highness to rest. ”

King Jing had already had the intention to end this meeting that could not be talked about freely, and immediately took over the conversation, "I disturbed Mr. for a long time, it's time to rest, and if you have any problems another day, I'll ask Mr. again." ”

Mei Changsu didn't have much politeness with him, only owed him. Meng Zhi stood between the two, and hurriedly turned around and hugged his fists to say goodbye.

King Jing nodded in return, turned around and walked to the stone door leading to his mansion, just walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, turned back, reached out and picked up the book "Xiangdi Ji" that had been on the table, and asked: "This book is really interesting, I haven't finished reading it just now, Mr. doesn't mind if I take it and borrow it for two days, right?" ”
