After coming out of the palace, the eldest prince kept a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

In terms of his personality, this is a very, very, very rare thing. Because his personality has always been very impatient, impatient as if he were a nervous disorder. It's as if there is never a word like "patience" or "waiting" in his dictionary.

A person with this kind of character naturally cannot be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, so after a period of training, after determining that he could not change this character, he lost his status as the heir to the throne and changed from the crown prince to the eldest prince.

Now he is twenty-eight years old, the father of eleven children, but he is still only the eldest prince, one of the princes who have no right to inherit, and he is nothing other than that.

Of course, he is the one with a relatively high status and status among these princes.

There are a total of six princes of the Great Chu State, the second is demented, the third is locked in the room all day to study the Buddhist scriptures, and the fifth is similar to the third. In addition to the sixth child who has been designated as the crown prince, the only ones who can take care of things and help a little are the eldest and the fourth. So although the boss has an impatient personality and the fourth child is very out of tune, as the prince, they still have to bear some responsibilities.

The problem is that just because you have to bear the responsibility doesn't mean that you can really take the responsibility well!

Although the fourth prince is an unobtrusive character, exuding a perverted aura all day long, in fact, he still has a certain ability, if it weren't for his personality and hobbies, he could have become the emperor - this means that he can at least do the things he is responsible for well.

Even though he is not doing well, the advantages and disadvantages can only be seen by comparison, because there is a very good contrast, so the four princes have always been called "capable".

Competent, although problematic, but capable!

So, who is powerless?

Back at the palace, the eldest prince could no longer contain his anger, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he was muttering and scolding, and his speech was so fast that even the most powerful spies in the capital could not hear clearly—this was probably his only strength, but it was not even a merit.

It's useless to speak quickly, you have to be quick and clear to be able to go to a place like a cockfighting ring to be a commentator.

The eldest prince's complaint was mixed with too many meaningless and messy syllables, which made his words seem disorganized and incoherent, just like the sentence "Hahu Wenbaoying" in a novel that Wu Xie once read, which is impossible for non-professionals to decipher.

Even if not as an emperor, but just as an ordinary official, this is a very fatal flaw.

If he could restrain his anger, that would be fine. But in fact, he couldn't suppress his anger at all, and often began to grunt when he didn't agree with him, and it soon developed to the point of using fists and feet - the situation of using a knife has never been encountered, not because he has some restraint after all, but because his martial arts are very poor, and his body is a little weak, once he wants to draw a knife, he will be immediately hugged and dragged away by the guards.

After all...... If he hits someone with his fist, others probably won't fight back, but if he draws a knife, the nature is different!

With the fierce folk customs of the Great Chu State, I am afraid that as soon as he takes out the knife, he will be beaten mercilessly, and it may not be enough to be killed, but it is inevitable that he will be beaten with a blue nose and swollen face - and even His Majesty will not be able to punish the person who did it for this, because this is the tradition of the Great Chu State.

Treat politeness with politeness and violence with violence, and the people of Dachu have always done so.

Wen can't do it, Wu can't do it, and he can't even speak clearly, such a waste person is already the one with the highest status among the six contemporary princes of the Great Chu State, except for the crown prince, which can't but be said to be a sad thing!

The eldest prince pouted and walked into the study.

The moment he walked into the study, the impatient expression on his face was swept away, replaced by a gloomy and angry color, but he didn't say a word.

Strangely, from the outside of the study, you can hear a steady stream of grunts coming from inside, distracting and inaudible muttering.

"Uncle, are you there?" The eldest prince closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and calmed himself down as much as possible before he whispered, "The little nephew has something to ask!"

As soon as the words fell, the black air flashed in front of him, and a handsome man in black appeared in the study.

This man's appearance is about thirty years old, and he is born with sword eyebrows and starry eyes. The gestures exuded a compelling confidence, and there was a light in his eyes that made people unable to question and had to believe him. His appearance seemed to brighten up the entire study, as if a god had descended on the earth.

"What's the matter?" He smiled and asked, "Trouble again?"

"Yes! That damn Xihe county people don't know what Lu Dao is doing to rebel! My father asked us what to do. I replied, 'Kill it!' As a result, he scolded him! It really doesn't make sense!" The eldest prince complained indignantly, "Am I saying something wrong? If even the rebellious mob is not killed, then the authority of the state will be lost!"

"There is no doubt that the rebels must die." The handsome man nodded and said in a deep voice, "No matter what reason they have, since they dare to rebel, they must die!" Even if the imperial court can solve those problems for them, and after solving them, they still have to die!"

"That's right!"

"For example, they came up because an official was corrupt and forced them to live. Then this official must be severely punished - it is not an exaggeration to exterminate the family and the clan, but they must also be severely punished, at the very least, those who have a certain influence in the local area and a certain role in the process of rebellion must die!"

"That's what happened! I really don't understand what kind of nerves my father has!" The eldest prince nodded again and again, and the indignation on his face became even stronger, "I really can't understand, what does my father think?" I was scolded by him, and the fourth said 'send an army to exterminate it' and then judge according to the law, he also shook his head, but agreed with the sixth child's statement......"

"Oh? What did the Six Princes say?"

"What else could it be? It's that useless nonsense!" The eldest prince said with a disdainful face, "If the people rebel, there must be something to be forced into helplessness, so we must first send someone to make an unannounced visit to find out the reason, and then change the people to justice." In this way, the mob will naturally become a good citizen, and the problem will be solved...... Can you believe this kind of? Is he really a man who has been an emperor for thirty-two years?"

"Of course he's a scheming emperor - don't you understand?" The handsome man sneered and asked unceremoniously, "With what you know about him, what would happen to him if you answered like that?"

"Of course, you scolded me unceremoniously!" The eldest prince replied without thinking, and then he was suddenly stunned, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

In the following period, his face was really ever-changing, shocked, confused, abrupt, painful, angry...... is like a Sichuan opera actor, his face changes back and forth, and the most helpless is finally frozen into a helpless wry smile.

"I see! It doesn't matter what you say, it's who says it...... As far as my father is concerned, whatever I say is wrong, and what the fourth brother says cannot be considered right, only what the sixth brother says is right!" He sat on the chair with a dejected face, like a warrior who had lost in the ring, unable to lift the slightest strength.

Looking at his listless appearance, the handsome man frowned and said coldly: "Shouldn't you have known about this kind of thing a long time ago?" Why are you so sad?"

"I thought...... As long as I can say the right thing to do, my father will change his opinion of me. The eldest prince said dejectedly, "After your teaching during this time, uncle, I feel that my ability has grown greatly. I originally planned to show my hand in front of my father, but I didn't expect it to be like this!"

"It's normal to have such a result. For His Majesty, since he has already selected the Six Princes, it is useless to say or do whatever you say, he will not give you any support and encouragement, or even give you any certainty. Because your status is so special, as long as he shows a little appreciation and approval, there will be many people among the ministers who will support you. ”

"What's the use of the courtiers' support? Whoever becomes the emperor is not up to him!" The eldest prince was a little indignant, "On this kind of issue, the only person in the court who may change his opinion is Prime Minister Lin, but Prime Minister Lin is now sick at home, and the imperial doctor said that he is like a candle in the wind, even if he is out of breath now, it is not surprising...... Without Prime Minister Lin, he doesn't just say whatever he wants, and he can do whatever he wants! Even if the ministers support me, the throne will still be the sixth old!"

"Not necessarily...... There are exceptions to everything. The handsome man said coldly, "Lin Lushan's dying body turned into dragon qi and swam in the air, as long as anyone gets this dragon qi, they will have a chance to win the Ninety-Five Honor...... Now this Changning City is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there are many strange people from all walks of life like carp crossing the river, and even there are two or three ghosts like me...... If something happens now, he's going to be upset. ”

"So he doesn't ask and criticizes me indiscriminately?" The eldest prince's voice couldn't help but be a little higher, "I'm his son!" Do you treat your son like this?"

"Yes, didn't you see it with your own eyes?" The handsome man sneered, "Even I haven't heard of anyone like this, but at least he is—that's the most important thing!"

The eldest prince couldn't help but get angry again, couldn't help but grit his teeth, and was about to mumble a few words habitually, but he couldn't hold back. In order to hold back these words, he clenched his fists tightly, and his nails sank deep into the flesh, and even blood flowed out.

The handsome man naturally noticed this scene, and he nodded slightly, showing a look of approval.

"Excellent! I'm glad I'm glad that you've been able to contain your anger!" He did not hesitate to praise the words, "A person who does great things must first be able to control his emotions and not let emotions dominate him." You have to turn your mind into a piece of ice that never melts, transparent and immaculate, cold and solid, without any fluctuations...... Although you are still far from this realm for the time being, you have made great progress compared to the first time I met you!"

He seemed to remember the first time they met, and couldn't help but laugh: "Back then, you looked like a madman. Well, it's so much better now!"

"But I don't know what Lu Dao is for, after leaving the study, it is still difficult for me to control my emotions......" The eldest prince's face was slightly red, and he said distressedly, "Uncle, what do I have to do to keep this state all the time?"

"The cultivation of the mind is a long process, even longer than the cultivation of mana. In just one year, you've done something that the average person can't do in decades. The pace of progress is already so fast that I'm stunned! Now all you have to do is to continue to exercise your mind, and with this process, your ability to control your emotions will be even better, and sooner or later you will be able to maintain your current state without the help of Ning Soul Incense, and you're done!"

The eldest prince imagined such a scene, and couldn't help but be full of yearning. After a while, his mind returned to the question at hand, and he frowned again.

"But...... Then it's too late!"

"If you need it, of course, I can use Ning Soul Incense to make a sachet for you to carry with you, but that doesn't make sense." The handsome man said lightly, "Impatience is the mortal enemy of your heart, and you must rely on your own strength to defeat it." The Ning Soul incense in the study is to provide you with a logistics base in battle, so that you will not be defeated. But if you also carry Ning Soul Incense with you, then it is not a battle, but an escape from the war with the help of Ning Soul Incense's power!"

Speaking of this, his expression gradually became stern, and his voice became fierce and merciless: "Remember! Whoever runs away from the battle will never want to win!"

After speaking, he disappeared without a trace, only the eldest prince stood in the study in a daze with his blood-dripping hand.

After a long time, the eldest prince sighed deeply and nodded heavily.

"Uncle is right! I will overcome the impatience in my heart by my own strength! If you carry Ning Soul Incense with you, it is tantamount to admitting defeat! Those who admit defeat will never be victorious!"

After speaking, he took out the gold sore medicine and a clean white cloth from the desk, hastily bandaged his hands, and began to study the statecraft that the handsome man had sorted out according to the history books.

Because of his impatient personality, he often inadvertently injures himself, so he always has the best gold sore medicine around him. The treasures that people in the martial arts dream of can save their lives at critical moments are just ordinary things for him to use to cover his hands.

This is the enjoyment that a prince should have, and if he becomes an emperor, the enjoyment will be more and better.

But...... That's still a bit far away, and what we need now is to slowly enrich ourselves.

Although his father may not live long, and his efforts may be in vain, he repeatedly warned himself not to be in a hurry, because if there is only a glimmer of hope left in front of him, then being anxious will only make this last glimmer of hope come to naught!

In the study room with a strange aroma, the eldest prince with a white cloth on his hands is trying to restrain his impatience while slowly studying the statecraft.

In an inn far away from the palace, the handsome man sitting on the bed opened his eyes, and his face showed tiredness.

"The invasion of the divine soul is too laborious!" He sighed, "With my cultivation in the middle stage of refining, it should be easy to invade the mind of a mere mortal and create some illusions on him, but I didn't expect it to be so laborious!"

"That's a junior brother, you have to use such a strenuous method." The middle-aged man in black who was sitting on the bed opposite him smiled, "Why don't you appear in front of the target in front of your real body like me?" It should work like the same, right?"

"That's not going to work! I'm 'dead'. The handsome man also laughed, "If I hadn't died, then he would have drawn his sword and slashed at him the first time we met—I'm a traitor who once tried to usurp the throne of their Xiong family!"

"That was a few decades ago, and even Xiong Er was just a prince at that time, so I think he probably didn't know about it at all."

"When it comes to this kind of issue, there's nothing wrong with being cautious." The handsome man, or the former King of Ning, Zhu Quan, showed a very serious expression, "What we are trying to plot is very big, so if we don't make full and meticulous preparations and are not as cautious as possible, it will definitely not work!"

The middle-aged man in black nodded, his face full of convincing.

Although he is the elder brother of Laojunguan, Zhu Quan, the little junior brother, is far above him in terms of cultivation and intelligence, and even far exceeds any disciple of Laojunguan's contemporary, and even many of the teachers are inferior to Zhu Quan...... When a person is only a little better than others, people will naturally be jealous of him; But when he is much better than others, to a height that others can't reach, then he will be fully respected and admired.

"But I still don't understand, why do you want me to help the sixth prince strengthen his fertility, and when he gives birth to a son, I will guide the eldest prince myself?" The elder brother of the old gentleman asked suspiciously, "If you want to support, it is enough to support one, right?"

"On the surface, it looks like that, but in reality, I don't have any intention of supporting any of them." Zhu Quan said lightly, "With my relationship with their Xiong family, if I don't kill their whole family, I am already merciful, how can I help them raise outstanding children?"

"What's that for?"

"A country has only one good heir, that's a good thing; But what do you think you should do if you have two good heirs who are hard to tell from each other?" Zhu Quan smiled maliciously, "In a few days, the eldest prince's concubine will give birth to a son." I'm looking forward to the faces of the ministers at that time!"

"What do you mean...... Let them fight against each other and disrupt the national fortunes of the Great Chu State?"

Zhu Quan's gaze gradually turned cold, and he looked up at the dragon of luck wandering in the sky outside the window: "I don't care about the national fortune of this Chu country!" I'm just going to take advantage of the chaos of the country's fortune to make this dragon of luck lose the space to maneuver, and then capture it!"

"As long as you can get this luck, you can let several Ning Yuan Patriarchs of this sect try to break through to the Huandan realm with the help of its strength. For us Lao Junguan, this is the really valuable thing!"

There was another sentence, but he didn't say it.

For himself, that dragon of luck was the only thing he wanted!
