Time flies, and Yingba rests for a morning.

The fatigue of last night's secret conversation was swept away.

He came to the side hall to prepare to review the recital.

At this time, Daliang Zao Zhang Yi, Rhino Gongsun Yan and Taiwei Ran came to ask for a meeting.

This can't help but surprise Yingba a little.

Because, on weekdays, it is often two of the three of them who come to visit.

If it weren't for Yingba's personal summons, the number of times the three of them took the initiative to come to meet at the same time was very rare.

Is there anything important to discuss with this candidate?

With doubts in his heart, Yingba asked the eunuch Heifu of the inner palace to summon him.

"Xuan Zhangyi, Rhino Gongsun Yan, and Wei Ran enter the palace!"

The voice of the summoning reached the outside of the hall, and the three old ministers were ordered to enter the hall one after another.

Seeing Yingba, the three of them bowed:

"Chitose-kun."

"No courtesy, the three old ministers came to see Ben Hou together, but there is something important to discuss?"

Da Liang made Zhang Yi opened his mouth and said:

"Your Excellency, the minister thinks that the third prince should be at the age of going to the fief."

The rhinoceros Gongsun Yan also said:

"The third prince and the crown have been for several months, and according to Qin law, it is long overdue to go to the fiefdom."

Hearing what the two said, Yingba nodded.

As the third son of Ben Hou, since he has reached adulthood, it is indeed time to go to the fiefdom to defend one side.

He was just about to play, when Wei Ran on the side suddenly admonished:

"Your Excellency, the minister thinks that this matter should be considered in the long run."

Marquis Wei Ran's sudden remarks made the three of them a little surprised.

Yingba opened his mouth and asked:

"Oh? What is Aiqing's opinion? ”

"Your Majesty, although the third prince has reached the crown, he is still young after all.

Besides, there are many places to play in Yongcheng, and with the character of the third son, he naturally wants to stay longer.

Moreover, if he had just been crowned, he would have been ordered to take up a position in a fiefdom.

Isn't it a bit of a provocative meaning, I'm afraid it will hurt the heart of the third son. ”

The old fox Wei Ran, the marquis, seemed to be defending the third son.

But in fact, he had two plans in mind.

Originally, he wanted to persuade Qin Hou to order the third prince to go to the fiefdom, but he never expected to suddenly kill Zhang Yi and the rhino head.

Since the two of them said what they wanted to say, they pretended to say that it was better to leave the third son.

Zhang Yi and Rhino Gongsun Yan's words, Qin Hou must consider it.

The other plan is also improvised.

Now that the prince is eyeing the third son, it is a good time for him to support the development of the fourth son.

If the third prince goes to the fiefdom at this time, the next thorn in the eye of the prince will naturally become the fourth prince Yingji.

Therefore, no matter what, let the third prince stay in Yongcheng for a longer time!

Anyway, the fourth prince will have to go to the fiefdom sooner or later, and it depends on Qin Hou's thoughts whether he can stay at the moment.

No one knows about Wei Ran's careful thoughts.

Supporting the fourth prince Yingji was secretly carried out by him.

In the eyes of outsiders, Wei Rannai is a relative who does not participate in party disputes.

Therefore, his words did not make the three people present associate with the succession.

Yingba listened to his words and felt that there was some truth.

Whether the third son's playfulness is pretended, or it is true.

He is both Yingba's biological son.

Treat your son, can you be ruthless?

Although Xianyang is not remote and barren, it is much worse than Yongcheng.

At this time, if there is no call, the three sons will not be able to return to Yongcheng for the rest of their lives.

If you are in such a hurry to get people out, it is indeed too ruthless.

After thinking about it, Yingba felt that at this time, he still had to think long-term.

However, Daliang Zao Zhang Yi did not think so.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Your Majesty, you can't think about it in the long run."

Hearing this, Yingba asked again:

"Oh? What does Da Liang Zao think? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is a reason why the third prince deliberately pretends to be cynical."

After a deliberate pause, he continued:

"There are many sons in Yongcheng, except for the second son, who has already died early, the third son is the oldest son under the son.

The prince will naturally worry about the third prince and his succession, and regard him as a thorn in the flesh.

In order not to set himself on fire, the third prince had to pretend to be cynical to confuse sentient beings and seek self-preservation. ”

Zhang Yi's words can be described as a big rebellion.

As a courtier, he even speculated about the family affairs of the princes, and it seemed a bit rebellious to say it so clearly.

Yingba was a little angry when he heard this, and he asked in a low voice:

"Zhang Yi! Are you saying that the sons of this monarch want to take the heir! ”

Zhang Yi bowed and saluted, and he bluntly admonished:

"Jun Haihan, the old minister is just a bold guess based on the comparison of the expression of the third prince yesterday and his previous performance."

This is a very subtle implication: Yesterday, the third prince saw through people's hearts with foreign objects, isn't it enough to explain the problem?

When Yingba heard this, he felt that Zhang Yi was too bold today, although there was still fire in his heart.

But the other party is a great good man and a long-time veteran.

Even if there is anger in the heart, the punishment cannot be lowered.

Besides, what Zhang Yi said is not unreasonable.

Yingba personally went to investigate the reality of the third son.

He also decided in his heart that Yingtian's cynicism must be pretended.

Five years ago, I studied hard and fell decadent overnight, and now that I think about it, it is really suspicious.

Zhang Yi's explanation is the most reasonable.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Sun Yan, the head of the rhinoceros, opened his mouth and said:

"Your Majesty, it is better to listen to the opinions of the ministers tomorrow in the court.

After all, going to the fiefdom to defend one side is a major matter related to the country, and it is not a child's play. ”

When Wei Ran heard this, he wanted to persuade Jun Hou again.

But it was stopped by Yingba.

He rubbed his eyebrows and said:

"This matter will be done according to what the rhino head said, and you all should step down."

"Yes!"

The three of them withdrew from the Chengming Palace.

Outside the Hou Mansion, the henchmen of the prince are plotting to discuss the affairs of the third prince.

After a night, the lights in the prince's mansion were still bright.

Nine o'clock the next day.

Hou Mansion Chengming Palace.

Yingba sat in a high position, and hundreds of civil and military officials stood in the main hall.

A group of sons led by the prince stood in a row.

The eunuch of the inner palace, Heifu, sang loudly:

"The court discussion, there is a play, there is no retreat!"

After some of the usual return of military taxes, Gan Long suddenly came out of the ranks.

He spoke, and said in a hearty voice:

"The old minister has something to do!"

The eunuch of the inner palace, Heifu, replied:

"Quasi-play!"

"Report to the king, the third prince has been crowned for several months, according to Qin law, it's time to go to the fief to take office."

Gan Long wears many hats, one of which is the first master, and he starts like this, which clearly means that he is the son of the world.

Yingba knew it in his heart, and he said:

"Ben Hou also wants to take the opportunity to ask the princes, what do you think about the third prince's going to the fief?"

Hearing this, the prince couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.

He thought to himself: It seems that the monarch's father also has the intention of asking Yingtian to go to the fiefdom quickly.

The ministers hesitated when they heard this.

And the henchmen of the Ganlong faction were overjoyed.

Suddenly, more than 30 people stood up one after another and expressed their opinions:

"Reported to the king, the minister thought that the third prince was stubborn and insulted the prestige of the king, so he was immediately sent to Xianyang to take up the domain."

"Report to the king, the third prince has a fief in Xianyang, because he will become a feudal domain as soon as possible, he can also temper himself outside as soon as possible, and I hope to get rid of many bad habits of the third prince."

"Your Majesty, the three sons are virtuous, there are three sons to rule Xianyang, and the east of the Qin Kingdom is worry-free."

In order to make the third prince a vassal as soon as possible, these people say everything, and even contradict themselves.

Obviously, I feel that the third prince is a drunken dreamer who is greedy for fun.

But he said that there were three princes here, and the east of the Qin State was against his will.

Looking at the one-sided situation in the court, Marquis Wei Ran hurriedly stood up and said:

"Report to the king, the matter of the third prince should be discussed in the long run! Even if it is a feudal domain, it should be eased until next year. ”

Wei Ran's voice fell, and then the people of his own family also stood up one after another.

"Your Majesty! Although the third prince is crowned, he is not familiar with political affairs, so he must not be in a hurry. ”

"Your Majesty! The matter of the feudal domain is a major matter of the country, and a minister who is familiar with local military affairs should be found to train the third prince before making plans, and he must not be impatient! ”

"Report to the king, the third prince is greedy for pleasure and doesn't like political affairs, if he rashly lets him become a vassal and goes against the grain, he will cause more trouble in Xianyang!"

For a time, two opposing forces were formed above the court.

On the one hand, it is the expulsion faction led by Gan Long.

On the other hand, there is the retention faction led by Wei Ran.

Looking at such a chaotic scene, Shizi Yingdang was surprised.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was surprised.

Zhang Yi and Rhino Head were even more inexplicable.

Yingba also muttered in his heart at this moment.

Could it be that Wei Ran is a henchman installed in the court by the third prince?

But when did the three sons of themselves add so many henchmen?

The third prince has really opened his eyes repeatedly!

After such a fuss in the court, Yingba still thought.

The courtiers led by Marquis Wei Ran are the henchmen of his third son Yingtian.
