Chapter 21: The Three Sons Seize the Throne
Mu Yi was designed by the third prince and had to stay in the "Mianchun Building" to drink with him, and he was very helpless.
The third prince saw that Mu Yi's face was very embarrassed, so he comforted him softly: "Brother Mu doesn't have to be embarrassed, Xiao Wang doesn't have to ask Brother Mu to stand on my side." ”
Mu Yi was excited, he didn't expect the third prince to say this, and hurriedly asked, "Then I don't know what His Highness means?"
The third prince put the teacup on the table and tossed the tea twice with the lid of the cup: "I wait for the prince, just like the tea leaves in this cup, whether it floats or sinks, it all depends on Brother Mu's 'cup lid'." ”
Mu Yi didn't understand what he meant, and just waited for the third prince to explain.
"Now the position of the prince, in addition to the eldest brother, is the second brother is the most promising. I'm third in line, so there's not much of a chance. I didn't intend to take the throne, but the second brother was suspicious by nature and ruthless. If we ascend the throne in the future, we princes are afraid that it will be difficult to survive. Now that I am opening this brothel to make money and making friends with the heroes of the green forest, I am actually just looking for a way out in the future. ”
Mu Yi nodded slightly when he heard this, he had already heard of the second prince as a person. Although on the surface, he was polite to Mu Yi and others, but behind the scenes, he was also ruthless to some opponents. When the city of the New Song Dynasty was broken, the second prince ordered the city to be slaughtered. If it weren't for the two great generals who strongly objected, saying that this would hurt the peace of the heavens, I was afraid that the people of the city would turn into powerful ghosts.
"If the second brother ascends the throne, Brother Mu will be the second brother's right-hand man in the future. When the time comes, I just hope that Brother Mu can open up to me and let me go to the 500,000 mountains to save my life, and Xiao Wang will be grateful. After that, the third prince actually got up and gave Mu Yi a deep look.
"Your Highness, no, it's time to torture the general. Mu Yi got up and saluted back, "In the future, if you encounter such a crisis, you will be responsible for ensuring the safety of Your Highness." ”
"Haha, with Brother Mu's words, Xiao Wang can also rest assured. The third prince pressed his right hand weakly, leading Mu Yi to sit down, smiling, but he didn't know if he really thought so in his heart.
"Brother Mu doesn't have to be restrained, today Xiao Wang used a trick to force Brother Mu to come, and he was forced to come. Brother Mu's mansion is full of the eyes and ears of the second brother, if I send someone to pay respects, I will not be able to hide it from the second brother. Today's little guys are all my subordinates, and Brother Mu doesn't have to be afraid that today's incident will be known by the second brother. ”
When Mu Yi heard this, he was also a little relieved, if he could hide today's affairs from the second prince, it would certainly be better.
"In the future, Brother Mu can come to my 'Mianyue Building' for recreation and recreation if he has nothing to do, and the expenses will be all recorded in my account. Many of the girls in my building are selling their art and not their bodies, and their bodies are innocent, so Brother Mu can rest assured. At that time, I will introduce a few wonderful people to Brother Mu. The third prince closed the paper fan, kept beating it in his hand, and looked at Mu Yi with a smile in his eyes, and actually used it to win him over.
"Thank you, Your Highness, it's just that if the last general always comes to this 'Sleeping Moon Tower', I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Second Prince will be suspicious, and it would be better to come less. "Mu Yi knows that this is the Longtan Tiger's Den, how dare he really come here to sleep in the willows.
"Haha, Brother Mu doesn't have to worry too much. The owner of the 'Mianyue Tower' is a big businessman, and the second brother doesn't know that it is my property. In this land of flowers and willows, the second brother has never looked down on it. ”
"It's the best, it's the best. Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. Mu Yi wiped his sweat, and his back was soaked for a long time. It's not easy to deal with these people.
"That being the case, Brother Mu should also go home early today, so as not to be suspicious. Seeing Mu Yi's resignation, the third prince was not reluctant, "If there is anything in the future, I will also send those little guys in your house to inform you, and Brother Mu should also be careful." ”
Mu Yi promised to say goodbye to the three princes immediately and hurried back to Mu Mansion.
Yue Ting had already been sitting on pins and needles in the mansion, waiting for an hour, and when he saw Mu Yi returning to the house, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
Mu Yi drank a cup of tea and relaxed his mood before he told the matter with the three princes.
Yue Ting heard this and scolded: "I said that these little guys kept pushing me to go to the 'Sleeping Moon Tower', it turned out that it was the three boys of the emperor Lao'er who were making trouble, and I didn't break the legs of a few of them." ”
Mu Yi shook his head and persuaded: "They are all members of the three princes, you can't easily hurt their lives." lest the three princes misunderstand that we are going to tear the dough. ”
"Of course I know, it's just a mouthful. Yue Ting snorted his teeth, "These three princes are really eloquent, and they will bluff you for a few words, do you really mean that he has no intention of taking this throne?"
"Isn't it?" Mu Yi wondered.
"Of course not, Liu Guifei, the mother of these three princes, is the emperor's favorite concubine. The emperor's heart of abolishing the establishment was blown out by the wind blowing in her ears all day long. ”
"How do you know?" Mu Yiqi said.
"If you want me to say that your heart is really big. Yue Ting spread his hands helplessly, "I know that I was caught up in this whirlpool by the second prince, and I don't want to deal with it as soon as possible, every day I either miss Na Ruyi, or go to the second prince's happiness." ”
"Huh?" Mu Yi scratched his scalp, "I really haven't thought about it, I just thought I could hide." ”
"It's also a shame that you are so stupid, the second prince thinks you are easy to use, so he leads you as a confidant and tries every means to win you over to work for him, which is called a fool with stupid blessings. Yue Ting was speechless.
"Hehe, I think it's good to be silly. Mu Yi smirked.
"It's not bad that you're a big man, and you've been sold to help count people. Brother, I've been busy for you these days, asking for news for you everywhere, worrying about what you should do in the future, you really think I'm a sperm worm, and I think about those two stupid girls like you. ”
"Ah, isn't that so? Looks like I misunderstood my big brother. ”
"Of course it was a misunderstanding. Yue Ting said sadly.
"Then going to the 'Sleeping Moon Tower' today is also the eldest brother's strategy?" Mu Yiqi said.
"Oh, it's not, it was an accident. Don't interrupt you, kid, and watch me explain the situation between the DPRK and China for you. ”
Mu Yi hurriedly concentrated and listened to Yue Ting.
"This Liu Guifei, although she gave birth to an extremely smart son like the third prince, she is stupid to death. She worked hard to blow the wind in her ears beside the emperor Lao'er, but it was the second prince who benefited. As for the three princes, they were hostile. ”
"Why is this?" Mu Yi was quite surprised.
Liu Guifei was favored by the emperor, thinking that the emperor would appoint his son as the crown prince. How do you know how easy it is for the prince to be abolished, and it must be recognized by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. The mother of the current crown prince is the queen Wang, and the current queen is the mother of the second prince. The son is precious to the mother, and if the prince is re-established, it is naturally the most suitable second prince. Concubine Liu Guifei was blowing the wind in the emperor's ear, and she wanted to abolish the prince, so she was naturally hated by the prince. Today's queen is not less angry with the lady Liu in the harem, and the second prince also has a grudge against their mother and son. ”
"Then it seems that what the third prince said is right, since he is like this, he should want to get out as soon as possible. ”
"Then you can underestimate these three princes," Yue Ting said, "Although the third prince is tired of his mother, he has been smart since he was a child, he has read poetry and books, and he is deeply loved by the emperor and his son, and he knows how to win over the ministers of the court." Nowadays, one-third of the ministers of the DPRK and China are neutral, but one-third of the ministers support the three princes, but these ministers are not high-ranking and do not have many important positions. ”
"Although the crown prince has lost some power, it is also because he is too conceited and always goes against the emperor's will. He was appointed as the prince, and he has been sitting on the throne of the prince for more than ten years, and he is also wise. ”
The second prince relied on the fact that the prime minister of the dynasty was his uncle, and gradually attracted a lot of power. Because he is the sister-in-law of the current queen, the emperor has the intention of abolishing the throne, and the second prince is the best candidate, and many ministers have also clinged to him. The harem has a lot of supporters."
"Nowadays, there are only three sons of the emperor Lao'er who have become kings, and the current emperor only succeeded to the throne when he was in his forties. When he was the crown prince, he only had three concubines. Therefore, after ascending the throne, the little princes born to the harem concubines are all young, and they can't get involved in this dispute over the heirs, but they can be regarded as blessed. ”
"That's the 'three sons to seize the heir', isn't it too complicated. Mu Yi said with a smile.
"What do you kid know, it's not complicated, then you can handle it yourself. Yue Ting said angrily.
"Big brother, don't be angry, I actually have a headache for a long time, I just want to protect myself and try to protect myself. Mu Yi smiled bitterly.
"I can't help you if you want to protect yourself. Today is the third prince to woo you, maybe tomorrow the prince will come to you. See what you can do. Of course, you can also firmly stand on the side of the second prince, but these two princes are not good at stubble, they have long been famous, and they have done a lot of things to unload the mill and kill donkeys. After the Battle of the New Song Dynasty, those scapegoats turned out to be the henchmen of the second prince. ”
"I also know this, big brother, don't beat around the bush, have you already thought of a countermeasure. Mu Yi said urgently.
"That's natural," Yue Ting pretended to stroke his beard, but he didn't have any beard, and his posture was quite funny.
"Today's plan is only four words: if you leave. ”
"What is if, if you leave?" Mu Yi asked.
"If so, no matter which prince woos you, you will go. You want to reward you, anyway, the princes reward the courtiers on behalf of the royal family, and you follow. If there are some painless requests, you can respond to them happily, and if you can do it by the way, you can help them do it. ”
"If you leave, it is a difficult request, and you are ambiguous. Or it should be done at the time, and then it will be said whether to do it or not. Ten things can be done in one or two. If the second prince asks you to harm the prince, you will pretend to set off some empty cannons. On the contrary, the prince thinks that you are warning and is impressed by you. On the second prince's side, you excuse yourself and say that you are incompetent. ”
"That being said, I'm afraid the princes aren't so easy to fool. Mu Yi touched his nose.
"That's natural, if it's easy to fool, wouldn't everyone be able to become a big official? Now that you've embarked on this path, you have to figure it out slowly. ”
"Well, you can only take one step, look at one step. Mu Yi nodded.
"Still, you can do that before you become a general. But once you become a general, it's easy to get killed. ”
"That's right," Mu Yi also agreed, "I heard from the third prince, His Majesty the Emperor will not tolerate the general swaying between several princes, what he needs is to be heartfelt to him." ”
"Brother, I have already set three strategies for you, and I will be able to ensure that you have no worries. Yue Ting said proudly.
Back then, during the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu was full of wisdom in Jiangdong and full of scheming. It is inevitable that you will end up with a "loss of the lady and the loss of the army". Yue Ting is usually unreliable, what strategy can he have to keep Mu Yi safe? I'm afraid I want to take Mu Yi to the gutter!
