Qingguo Gong couldn't keep it for a long time...... This conclusion is not the first one Mei Changsu said, and many of the strategists of Yuwang's Mansion have mentioned it during the collegiate discussion, but at that time, everyone's main meaning was that King Jing, who was in charge of the trial, was a bezoar pill, with a soft and hard temper, and it was the evidence collected by the Hanging Mirror Envoy himself, and it was almost impossible to turn over the case, all of which stayed at the operational level, so that King Yu still had a trace of luck in his heart. But today, Mei Changsu said a few words, and it was his foundation that was broken, and he clearly pointed out that Qingguo Gong couldn't protect it, not because it was difficult to keep it, but because he couldn't protect him at all.

King Yu is different from the prince, he is a person who is very judgmental, Mei Changsu is a little bit, he knows that this is indeed the case, and the excitement of Fang Cai is suddenly gone, and his heart is heavy. In fact, Qingguo Gong does not have much deep personal feelings for King Yu, but he is the only military minister who publicly expresses his support for King Yu in the case of the general attitude of the military, and his identity as a veteran is enough to call on a group of protégés to be old, so it is particularly valuable. However, if it was a few days ago, although this loss was heavy, it could still be barely endured, but when Qin Panruo secretly told him that Xie Yu had fallen to the crown prince, he felt more and more how important Qingguo Gong was to him.

In addition to the royal family, the civil and military ministers are not marquis, and the military ministers do not participate in politics. The promotion of civil servants can be based on both assessment and the favor of superiors or emperors, but the promotion of military ministers must have military merits, not just the emperor's favor. It is precisely because of this tradition that most of the military ministers are not very interested in political affairs that have nothing to do with military affairs, such as fighting for succession, because even if they take a great risk to get involved and choose the right new monarch, they will not be rewarded without real military merits on the battlefield, and it is really an uneconomical deal, so it is better to watch from the sidelines. Only the military ministers who have already been promoted to the first rank by virtue of their military merits and have been made marquis or marquis are not subject to these restrictions, and can get any seal from the emperor, so as to seek super-grade treatment and family hereditary rewards. At present, there are only five military ministers in the world who have this qualification.

The bias of these five people represents the attitude of most of the military ministers. Although judging from the current situation, except for the Duke of Qingguo who openly supports King Yu and the Marquis of Ning who secretly supports the crown prince, the rest seem to be out of the matter.

Of course, among the factors that ultimately affect the emperor's determination of the successor candidate, eight points still depend on the performance of the crown prince and King Yu in government affairs and the competition for the real power of the six ministries, but for the remaining two points, the emperor still inevitably has to refer to the military's bias.

Even though King Yu is confident that he will have the upper hand in those eight points, as long as he fails to widen the gap, the remaining two points may still lead to a subversive ending.

What's more, the attitude of the military ministers has always been the most difficult to grasp, most of the military ministers in order to avoid risks, have always been impartial, shaking their heads when they ask, only waiting for the last moment to be asked by the emperor face to face, will whisper a name in the dragon's ear, never pass on the second person's ear. In this way, although you will not be particularly favored by the new monarch, it will not cause trouble, and people who are not so ambitious will generally choose this way.

From this, it can also be imagined how rare it is for King Yu to get the public support of a first-class military marquis.

"Mr. Su doesn't know," King Yu sighed and said in a heartfelt tone, "This king has always thought that I am superior to the crown prince in terms of winning the support of military ministers, because this king has both Qingguo Gong and Xie Bi, and he never has to worry about the attitude of the military. On the surface, he had no objection to Xie Bi's investment under the banner of this king, which made me mistakenly think that his heart was towards this king, but secretly he had already taken refuge in the prince, and single-handedly concocted the 'land invasion case' with the intention of bringing down the Duke of Qingguo...... Now there is no way for this king to detect the military's bias in advance, and I am afraid that I will lose at this point when it is critical in the future......"

Regarding King Yu's emotion, Mei Changsu listened quietly, except for a slight nod, he didn't say anything else. King Yu's eyes also flickered because of his reaction, but his expression was always very stable, first blinked twice, and then showed a wry smile on his face, blaming himself: "Oh, it's this king who is reckless." This king actually forgot that Mr. Su was very friendly with the two sons of the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion...... Saying this really embarrassed my husband......"

Mei Changsu's complexion was pale, and he did not deny it, and he lowered his head slightly, as if he was stunned.

"But as far as this king knows, although Mr. Su and Jing Rui Xie Bi have a friendship, they also have a lot of affection for the Nihuang County Lord, and even did not hesitate to anger the prince for her......" King Yu stared at Mei Changsu's side cheek and said, "Maybe this is not Mr. Yi's intention, but it is difficult to take it back when you step out." If this king's guess is not bad, Mr. moved here in such a hurry in the snow, I'm afraid there is something else to hide, right? ”

"Where did Your Highness think of it," Mei Changsu's seemingly relaxed smile revealed a hint of reluctance, "Su is a native of the rivers and lakes, he has always been unrestrained, he is not familiar with etiquette, and he is really not used to living in the Senyan Mansion, so he moved out as soon as possible." As for His Royal Highness the Prince's misunderstanding of Su, as long as there is a slight opportunity, Su should still be able to explain it clearly. ”

Hearing this implied rejection of the answer, the muscles of King Yu's eyes couldn't help jumping, and a touch of evil flashed between his eyebrows, but it was only for a short moment, and he immediately endured it.

The more this time, the more you can't appear to be as narrow as the prince, otherwise you will fall short and lose the opportunity you have taken...... These are the words that King Yu secretly admonished himself in his heart.

Since Mei Changsu left Langzhou and came to Jinling, he must have already realized in his heart, knowing that he could not break free from the fate set by Langya Pavilion, and he was ready to choose the master. In this forced situation, he will choose whoever appears more benevolent and who makes him feel safer. And after he has made up his mind to stand firm, this Qilin genius will definitely do his best

Because Mei Changsu really values his Jiang Zuo League too much. If the side he chose loses in the battle for succession in the future, Jiang Zuomeng will definitely suffer from the disaster of pond fish because of its suzerain, and this is something that Mei Changsu will not allow to happen no matter what. Therefore, as long as you can pull him under the banner, and then be careful not to prevent him from coming into contact with * people, and firmly tie the fate of him and Jiang Zuomeng with himself, you can rest assured and boldly use his scheming and talent.

This is the employment strategy established after several considerations after King Yu was asked by Qin Panruo that day, "If you get Mei Changsu as a subordinate, you can trust him wholeheartedly without suspicion", and he is quite confident that this strategy will definitely be able to jam the seven inches of this Qilin genius and let him use it to his fullest.

But the premise, of course, is that you have to net him under your command first.

"Mr. Su is willing to speak out today to instruct this king to deal with the land invasion case, and this king is very grateful. As for the future, this king will never dare to be reluctant, "Under the dual combination of warm smile and modest tone, King Yu perfectly shows the demeanor of a benevolent monarch," With the great talent of Mr., he naturally judges the situation and has a unique eye, so why should this king say more. What this king just wants to say is that no matter what Mr. chooses, no matter what the future encounter, as long as Mr. is willing to look down on his eyes again, the door of the palace will always be open for Mr. ”

These words were really high-sounding and well-thought, which made Mei Changsu feel that the secretly moved color he made by taking advantage of the situation was also pulled much more naturally, which made King Yu, who was observing the words and colors, very satisfied.

"This king has been bothering for a long time today, but I am afraid that I will miss my husband's rest, so I will leave first." King Yu knew very well what it was to be quick and not reach, and seeing that Mei Changsu was already a little moved, he took a step back, got up with a smile and said goodbye, and endured the upset of a cat scratch just now for Qingguo Gong, but he is also a character.

Mei Changsu stood up and bowed: "Your Highness doesn't care about the cold, how dare you come to our house in person?" It was almost late now, and he should have kept the guests with wine, but His Royal Highness had no choice but to take care of the day, and there was little spare time, and Su really didn't dare to open this mouth. A cup of tea, the hospitality is not good, please forgive your Highness. As he spoke, he raised his hand to sign, which already meant to go out with the guests.

According to King Yu's thoughts, of course, he would like to be retained, but Mei Changsu's words, listening to it sounded like a guest, and like a send-off, and he couldn't figure out his true meaning, if he understood it wrong, I was afraid that there was no tacit understanding between himself and the Qilin talent, so although several ideas flashed quickly in his mind, he didn't finalize any of them in the end, so he could only take a slow step, hoping that Mei Changsu would say a few more words.

Fortunately, when the two came out of the study side by side and walked along the corridor to the pavilion in the middle, Mei Changsu raised his eyes and looked at the vast cloud feet in the distance, and said softly: "His Royal Highness King Yu doesn't have to worry too much. Even if Qing Guogong doesn't have an accident this time, he is not Xie Yu's opponent, and there is nothing too sorry to lose......"

"That's right," said King Yu frowning, "but he always has some weight in the court, and something is better than nothing." ”

Mei Changsu smiled faintly and said, "If you follow Su's small knowledge, Your Highness should completely throw away Duke Qingguo at this time, and support King Jing with all his might." ”

"Support King Jing?" King Yu was really a little surprised at this time, "He is the prince, and he is ordered by the Holy Order to preside over the trial, who dares to embarrass him?" Where do you need the support of this king? ”

"Of course, there is no need for a single Binzhou case," Mei Changsu froze and said quietly, "But Your Highness also knows that this case is just the beginning, and after the trial is concluded, many similar cases will be reported in various places, involving more wealthy families." In dealing with complex relationships, King Jing really has no experience. If His Royal Highness is willing to help him quickly calm down the opposition of the wealthy families and stabilize His Majesty's national politics of 'stabilizing farming', how can King Jing not be grateful to His Highness? ”

King Yu's breath stagnated, as if he suddenly saw a direction that he had never seen before, and his mind gradually became clear: "The meaning of Mr. is ......"

Mei Changsu said coldly: "What is there to deplore His Royal Highness, even if the two Qingguo Dukes are combined, can they be worth more than half of King Jing?" ”

King Yu's expression was a little excited, and he paced around the spot quickly with a flushed face, "If you can win King Jing, then of course ...... But King Jing's heart ...... This king is really worried that he will not be able to control ......"

Mei Changsu's eyes were like snow, like a blade, approaching King Yu's eyebrows: "If you can't control it, you have to control it." Ning Guohou is already the crown prince's person, except for King Jing, who can compete with him in the military? ”

King Yu knew that what he said was true, and his brows were even more twisted: "If you want to confront Xie Yu head-on, others really can't." But Jing Yan is a person who admits death, and this king is afraid that when he will be useful in the future, he will not listen to the dispatch......"

Mei Changsu turned his body slowly, looked directly into King Yu's eyes, and asked in a very slow voice: "What does Your Highness want to control the military for?" Are you going to force the palace to rebel? ”

King Yu was taken aback, involuntarily glanced around, and said angrily: "Sir, where did you start with this?" If this king has this heart, heaven and earth will not tolerate it. ”

"Since one does not force the palace, and the other does not rebel, where does the word dispatch come from?" Mei Changsu's voice was like ice, "The role of King Jing is only to deter. Even if the prince has Xie Yu on his side, and can even add a few more Yipinhou, it is nothing, as long as Your Highness has King Jing and the Nihuang County Lord by your side, then in the future, in the consideration of Your Majesty, you and the crown prince's deterrent power against the military will be at least equal, and you will not be compared to him. As long as you don't go against the way of the ministers, everything is just a bargaining chip, and you only need to show it to Your Majesty, and you don't need to really use it. ”

King Yu's subordinates were full of strategists, and they often discussed the situation in front of him and commented on current affairs, but no one had ever made such a novel remark, but he felt that he had found another way, and his chaotic brain gradually cleared up.

Yes, the military is no better than the ministers, and there is no need to be handy at all, because in Jinling City, where the emperor is in charge of the Imperial Forest Army, under the strict and meticulous control of Meng Zhi, there is basically no possibility of using force to seize the heir, what is needed is just a static display of strength, what should you do so obediently?

Mei Changsu, who was watching the change in King Yu's expression, knew that his heart had moved, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he added another sentence lightly: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the prince really wants to launch any bad actions, once it endangers His Majesty, with King Jing's upright temper, does he still need you to dispatch him to be willing to fight again?" ”
