Mukuya was silent for a long time, and said worriedly:

"The general's words really made me feel empowered, and now that I think about it, it's really like this! But as the general said, if I give in everywhere, if my father really chooses someone else as the crown prince, then the wood is already in the boat, and it will be too late to fight again, and my father is getting older, if I let someone else become the prince this time, maybe the dust will settle in a few years, and I won't have a chance......"

"Yes! This is indeed a risky move, but only a dangerous move can have a miraculous effect, and according to the current situation, His Highness must rein in his edge, show weakness, and inadvertently reveal your talent! I know best what kind of man your father and our king is! He was getting older, so he had to choose the crown prince, but what he was most worried about was that the crown prince was too strong, especially in the army, which threatened his throne! Didn't Li Shimin of the Central Plains just kill his brother and slaughter his brother, force his father Li Yuan to abdicate, and inherit the throne himself? This is what happened more than ten years ago, how can your father not be shocked in his eyes?! Now it's up to His Highness to take this risk! Take risks, you still have a chance, if you don't take risks, Your Highness, you basically have no chance of winning!"

Mukuya sat in his chair and fiddled with the silver cup of goat's milk and did not speak for a long time.

I quipped, "What's wrong?" Is Your Highness afraid? ”

Mukuya glared at me, stood up abruptly, and said, "Good! Everything is arranged by the general."

"Your Highness has really decided?! Since it has been decided, then there will be no regrets, no matter what the outcome is in the future, His Royal Highness must accept it calmly! The father stood up and said solemnly to Mukuya.

Mukuya took the goat's milk and drank it all, laughing: "Don't worry, general! Since I have decided, I will never regret it! If it doesn't work, it's destiny, what's the use of regretting?! ”

"Haha! Good! Your Highness, don't worry, I will take care of the proportions, you come here, and I will tell you how to do it."

Mukuya leaned his ear to him, and his father muttered in his ear.

Looking at these two men who regarded me as a treasure, I suddenly felt a warm happiness in my heart.

But there were some things that I did not expect, a few days later, when I was bored at home, I heard the butler bring me a rather surprising news, my father and Mukuya fell out, and the two of them quarreled in the palace in front of the king and the generals, it is said that it was for the last time I went out to fight against Rouran, Mukuya repeatedly complained about his father's rash attack in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, and as a result, my father could not hold his face, so he argued with him.

I know my father very well, he is not the kind of person who entrusts others, not to mention that this time he has received it on behalf of Mukuya, took all the responsibility, and gave all the credit to Mukuya, why does Mukuya still treat his father like this? I'll have to ask him.

I was about to go out, but I heard the servant's report that the second prince Gui Silie came to visit. I wondered in my heart why my father didn't have much contact with the second prince today, so he suddenly came to visit today. Could it be that my father is angry and unwilling to support my Mukuya?

My father wouldn't be like this, and he should have known that I already had a heart for Mukuya.

In order to find out what happened, I quietly hid behind the screen in the lobby to hear what my father and Gui Silie had to say.

I heard Gui Silie say a few words, and then said: "General Duolun, my fourth brother is that temper, and our brothers usually let him. Yesterday, he argued with you in front of his father, and it was all for the sake of state affairs, so don't take it to heart in general! ”

I thought to myself behind the screen: I heard what Gui Silie said, it seems that he is here to apologize to his father for his younger brother Mukuya, then His Royal Highness the Second Prince is still a good person! It's not as bad as I thought! Hehe!

"Your Highness, I am a military general, I like to go straight, Your Highness, do you think he is for state affairs? I did take the enemy lightly on this expedition, but I have already made these clear to the king, and the king didn't say anything, and I also showed the king his merits, and I didn't hide it, but he openly accused me in front of everyone! This is called how I will lead the troops in the future! "When I said this, my father seemed to be angry in his chest, and his tone was much higher, damn Mukuya! My father thinks about him everywhere and does so much for him, why should he do it against his father and see that I don't unscrew his ears.

"General Duolun, fourth brother, then I will go and talk about him, the general must not be worried! The fourth brother is straightforward, able to write and martial arts, and this time he has won a victory against Rouran, I heard that my father intends to make the fourth brother the prince! ”

"Oh! No way! To say that the third prince of military merit, Kukri, is not under Mukuya! The king won't make Mukuya the crown prince because of this victory, right? The father asked rhetorically.

"Not necessarily! I know that my father has been full of praise for the fourth brother recently! ”

"Hey!" I heard my father sigh, and then neither of them spoke, and fell into a long silence.

"General Duolun, with all due respect, once my fourth brother inherits the throne, your situation is worrying, I came here to persuade the general to restrain his temperament and have a good relationship with the fourth brother, not to mention that the general is indeed wrong this time, my father is not to blame, it does not mean that the fourth brother is not to blame!" Gui Silie's voice interrupted the long silence.

At this time, even if I am stupid, I can understand what Gui Silie means, to put it simply: you have fallen out with Mukuya, once he inherits the throne, he will never let you Dolun go, you must help other princes to take the throne, obviously, I came today to hope that you Dolun can help me.

I listened behind the screen and muttered to myself: I thought that His Royal Highness the Second Prince was so good-hearted! It turned out to be the idea. How can these people be so smart! It's just me like a fool.

"Hey, if that's the case, I'll marry my daughter to Mukuya, and I hope he can open up!" Father said helplessly.

"Oh! I heard that Ayimu likes Mukuya a lot, and this is the best of both worlds, so I'm relieved! My father usually doesn't like us adult princes to interact too much with army generals, and the main reason why I took the liberty to visit today is to persuade the general to endure it, and of course I will also say good things for the general in front of the fourth brother. I do this, not for anything else, just to admire the general's personality, not afraid of the powerful, the general has made countless military exploits for the country in his life, the scars on his body are covered by the old wounds, countless, even if the fourth brother inherits the throne in the future, I don't want my Loulan to lose the general such a brave general who can fight in battle! Gui Silie said emotionally.

The father also seemed to be moved by Gui Silie's words, and he sighed and said, "Hey! Your Highness, thank you for your kindness! I can't help it, in fact, Ayimu doesn't like Mukuya very much, the girl is just starting to fall in love! Seeing a young and handsome prince always sees one and loves the other, if she sees His Royal Highness, you may also like you! And most importantly, I can tell that Mukuya doesn't really like my daughter! "I really don't understand why my father said this, whether I really like Mukuya He knows better than anyone else, and how can I like Gui Silie? I remember telling my father before that what I hated the most was Gui Silie's hypocritical appearance!
