"Little Marquis, then we'll settle it. ”

It was an old servant who spoke, speaking moderately, neither humble nor arrogant.

"With Mr. Lao Wei on this trip, I will definitely visit on time. ”

Wang Hao responded solemnly, this old servant is very unusual, regardless of his identity, he himself is a strong man comparable to a prince.

"That's the best, so I'll go back first. ”

Manager Wei smiled, and then left the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion directly.

"The Seventh Prince. ”

Looking at the back of Manager Wei leaving, Wang Hao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Emperor Shenwu had a total of thirteen princes, and in addition to the crown prince, the most powerful was the seventh prince.

The Seventh Prince is just over twenty this year, but he has already set foot in the Five Elements Realm and is extremely talented, but what makes Wang Hao jealous the most is not so.

"The power of the mother clan of the Seven Emperors is deep-rooted, and the influence in the military world is even more difficult to match, my father was a general under the command of King Pingxi back then, and even now he has never broken the connection, if you really want to say that the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion can be regarded as a person of the Seven Princes' faction. ”

Wang Hao can ignore other invitations, but the crown prince and the seventh prince can't refuse.

The crown prince is now in charge of the country, and his status is comparable to that of Emperor Shenwu, if he opens his mouth, Wang Hao will not dare to ignore it even if he has a few more dares, as for the seventh prince, it is because of his father Wang Guang.

"Although the crown prince has already been established, the royal family is still secretly strife, and many princes are eyeing each other, and neither my father nor I actually want to participate in the struggle between the princes. ”

The royal family is a whirlpool, and if you stand in the wrong line, the consequences are extremely serious.

Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of such precedents, because the princes who seized power and were killed did not know how many, Wang Guang knew this way, so he had always deliberately alienated the seven princes, but his background was destined to be impossible to completely cut off the connection with this vein.

"Could it be that the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was suddenly raided back then, and it still has something to do with the Seventh Prince?"

Suddenly, Wang Hao thought of something, and his face became more and more solemn.

If this is the case, it will be troublesome, and Wang Hao began to regret a little that he agreed to Manager Wei to go to the party.

"This matter must be told to my father and mother, after all, the Seventh Prince is involved. ”

Wang Hao muttered to himself, and then walked back to the room, fortunately, the day invited by the Seven Princes was the seventh day of the first lunar month, and there were still a few days to go.

In the evening, Mrs. Shaoyang returned from going out, and the first thing she did after returning home was to find Wang Hao.

"I've heard that it's right not to refuse, since the Seventh Prince has spoken, we must agree no matter what, otherwise the people of the world will have to label us ungrateful. ”

Mrs. Shaoyang first approved Wang Hao's decision.

"In recent years, the power of the Seven Princes has become more and more huge, and there are already signs of fighting against the prince, our Wang family has been looking for a balance between the two, and wants to get out of the whirlpool, but after all, we can't stay out of it, but Hao'er is not very old, and he has just embarked on his official career, so he doesn't need to be too scrupulous. ”

Mrs. Shaohua, who can become the mistress of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, is naturally unusual, and she can see the situation that the Wang family is facing now.

But what she said was right, Wang Hao can't represent the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion yet, so naturally there is no need to worry about the battle between the crown prince and the Seventh Prince, presumably the Seventh Prince is actually just releasing goodwill to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and he doesn't have too many ideas.

Wang Hao nodded when he heard this, his mother's admonition coincided with his own thoughts.

"I will pass on the news, you have rejected too many princes and princes, if you only agree to the seventh prince, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction and public anger. ”

Mrs. Shaohua acted resolutely, and soon the news of the visit of Chief Manager Wei was known to various princes and princes.

"The Seventh Prince is so sincere, no wonder. ”

The thoughts of many princes are about the same, and the strength of the head of Wei is not inferior to them, so it is impossible for anyone to refuse such a person to invite him personally.

"It is not easy for Wang Guangben to get rid of the imprint of his Pingxi King faction after he was crowned marquis, this time the Seven Princes only invited his heirs, but next time it may not be. ”

Many people are sneering, how can anyone remain neutral in the struggle for imperial power, even the prince is difficult to stand alone, let alone a Dingyuan marquis.

At this time, the news of Chief Wei entering the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion also spread to the East Palace.

"Father personally decreed, what is so special about this Wang Hao?"

The prince put his hands behind his back, and there was a strange light in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Do we want to send out invitations too? Dingyuanhou has gained a lot of momentum in recent years, and we can't ignore his influence. ”

In front, an old man stood up, even in front of the prince, he looked calm and calm.

His identity is very different, he is the Taifu of the Dynasty, a civil official, and one of the leaders of Confucianism.

"Taifu has a heart, the Marquis of Dingyuan is nothing, there are many princes in the court, as long as the Marquis of Dingyuan has not been crowned king, we don't need to put down our bodies, after all, I am the prince, and I have begun to build the country, and I also know the thoughts of the seventh brother, but after all, it can't become the climate. ”

The crown prince smiled, but soon he restrained his smile: "But that Wang Hao makes me curious, the sixteen-year-old one-yuan realm is indeed dazzling, but there is no way to make my father value it." ”

"Does the prince mean to let me pay more attention to this Wang Hao?"

Taifu asked, in fact, he already had a way to deal with this matter, but he just deliberately handed over the initiative to the prince.

His task is to teach a good successor to the Emperor, and relying on others and acting indecisively is not the style that the Emperor should have.

"I don't need to care too much, maybe my father is just a whim, and now my focus is still on that Yang Ding. ”

The prince shook his head and continued.

"The Yang family was originally the founding father, but the ancestors of the Yang family have never been crowned marquis, this is also where the royal family has always felt indebted, Yang Ding is talented, outstanding military achievements, and the marquis is a sure thing, once the marquis is bound to be reused, plus the prestige of the ancestors, it is also possible to be crowned king in the future, and the prince does need to pay more attention to this person. ”

Taifu agreed with the prince's idea, and Yang Ding could be regarded as a junior he valued the most.

"I can see this, and the seventh brother can also see it, maybe he has arranged for his subordinates to contact Yang Ding, but I believe that Yang Ding should be able to see the situation clearly, of course, we can't hold our own identity, so as not to push a person who is expected to be crowned king into the camp of the seventh brother. ”

The prince is very confident, and he should have such confidence in his identity.

"Good. ”

Taifu nodded in agreement, and then began to arrange for someone to contact Yang Ding in advance.

Time flies, and soon it will be the seventh day of the first month.

On this day, Wang Hao left the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion directly.

All the princes have their own properties in Shangjing, and the Seven Princes are of course no exception, and it didn't take long for Wang Hao to come to an extremely secluded courtyard.
