Chapter 335: Scheming

The father seemed to be in a good mood, and did not take the demotion seriously at all, and he drank all the mare's milk wine in the cup, and laughed:

"Silly boy, where do you understand the king's mind, of course you can't figure out why he did this. Our king has been on the throne since he was thirty-two years old, and he is nearly sixty years old this year, and at the beginning of his succession he made his favorite eldest son the crown prince, but within two years the prince died of illness. The king was heartbroken, and he never mentioned the establishment of the prince since then, and he also knew that he was getting older and older over the years, and several of his princes were becoming adults one after another, and all his eyes were staring at the prince's position, fighting openly and secretly, forming gangs, but as long as he was healthy, he never cared, why is this? This is the king's art of checks and balances! These powerful princes, as long as there is a dominant family, it will inevitably affect his royal power, and it is possible to mutiny and seize the throne, didn't his own throne be taken from his younger brother in the first place? Now the second prince, the third prince, and the sixth prince, including your Mukuya, are all evenly matched, no one is convinced, no one dares to act rashly, they are like the four legs of a table, the table is unstable if one leg is missing, and the table will fall if it is missing two legs, and our king is the table! My Ayim, do you understand? ”

I was so absorbed that I forgot to answer my father, and it took me a long time to react: "Ah! It turns out that the king has taken the throne! This is the first time I've heard you talk about it! It seems that this king is not something that everyone can be! ”。

"Be quiet, the most taboo thing for the king is that others say that he has seized the throne. It's a long story, I shouldn't have told you that! My father looked at me and stopped talking.

I smiled awkwardly and said, "Hearing you say this, my daughter really thinks that she is too stupid, and the king is so smart!" ”

"Haha! My Ayimu, you're not stupid, you're just too kind! My father touched my head and laughed.

"Father, why is the king suddenly proposing to be a prince again?"

"This prince must be established, but the king suddenly took the initiative to mention this matter now, and I thought about it for a long time, either because he felt that his health was not as good as before, and he wanted to set the prince as soon as possible to calm everyone's hearts. Either that... ”

"What's it?" I asked impatiently.

"It's a temptation for a few princes!"

"Huh!?" This made all the civil and military generals elect the prince, and they released their words early, so that the whole country knew that it had become another temptation!

The father continued: "Judging from the reaction of the prince and the king this time, my guess is good, even if the king really wants to make the prince this time, there is also an element of temptation in it, he wants to see if the four legs under his table are the same length and size, whether there is one leg that is too thick and too long, if that is the case, his table is still unstable!" ”

Seeing that I was still puzzled, my father continued: "The third prince Kukri was already able to fight in battle, he commanded all my Rouran troops, and I also served as his deputy, but this time the king of Rouran did not send him, but sent me and Mukuya to lead the troops, which shows that the king has been wary of him, and is afraid that his strength in the army will improve and grow. It's hard to control when the time comes? As a result, as expected, you see that this time the crown prince was recommended, not only some ministers in the court, but also almost all the generals in the army recommended the third prince in unison, how did this situation not make our aging king feel shocked? From this, it can be seen that the army has completely sided with the third prince Kukri, and now as long as he wants, he can mutini at any time, if you are the king, are you afraid? Therefore, most of the dismissals and demotions this time were generals in the army, and of the hundreds of generals, only three were promoted instead of recommending Kukri."

"Oh! It's so complicated! You've thought so much! So many generals in the army can't really support His Highness Kukri, right? ”

"Of course not! He doesn't have that much strength yet! Some of them really really supported him, and the others were secretly contacted by me and Mukuya to ask them to recommend the third prince. And the second prince Gui Silie didn't have much power in the army, and his supporters were all civilian officials, so the generals in the army didn't all recommend the third prince Kukri, I guess even he didn't expect so many generals to recommend him this time."

"No wonder you and Mukuya were plotting in the room for so long that day, father, you are so bad!"

"Haha!" Father laughed happily.

"And what about the second prince, Gui Silie, and the sixth prince, Golis," I asked.

"It's not easy! Let me think about it! Let me think about it......" Father stood up and walked up and down the room.

I thought to myself: I'd like to see what else my father can do to get rid of Gui Silie and the Sixth Prince. Then my Mukuya is the crown prince, haha.

A few days later, Gui Silie visited the house again in person, and I wanted to hear what my father had come up with to help me, so I secretly hid behind the screen and eavesdropped on their conversation.

This time Gui Silie saw that his father was really different from the last time, and he no longer spoke to temptation, and when he saw his father, he bowed down and said: "General Duolun, my heart and mind of the general army are already like a mirror, if I don't abandon me, Gui Silie is willing to worship you as a teacher, please help me, the general must not refuse!"

The father hurriedly stepped forward to support Gui Silie: "Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, if I don't want to help the crown prince, how can I bring down the third prince Kukri!" Last time, I wanted to show my heart to His Highness, but I didn't know what Your Highness thought in your heart for a while, and the second is that I haven't made an inch, and I don't dare to rush to cling to Your Highness."

"General Doron, don't say that! With the help of the general, I can achieve great things! If I can inherit the throne, I will never fail the general! ”

"Your Highness! Duolun thanks His Royal Highness for his love, but Your Highness don't be too happy too early, in fact, this time he recommended Prince Kukri to let him cause the taboo of your father, and there is also the credit of the sixth prince Golisi! It's just that I really didn't expect him to be so young, and he was the same as I thought, if it wasn't for the guidance of a master behind him, it was because his scheming was too deep! ”

"You're saying that this time he also contacted the generals in the army to recommend Cookri?" When Gui Silie heard his father say this, he was surprised.

"Hey! Oh, yes! Otherwise, I alone would not have been able to recommend Cook to all the officers, and even if I had that mind, I wouldn't have that much ability! After the end of this recommendation of the crown prince, I have been thinking, who did this except me? I originally guessed that it might be Mukuya, after all, he still has some connections in the army, but I sent someone to secretly investigate and found out that it was your sixth brother Golis who was secretly contacting the officer, and it was he who instigated your fourth brother Mukuya to recommend Kukri with all his might. Now it seems that this Mukuya is just a brave and unscrupulous person, and the real terrifying thing is your sixth brother Golith!"

"Haha, father is going to push Golis out to shield Mukuya from the wind and rain!" I was secretly amused behind the screen, my father had so many ideas, no wonder he always won battles.
