Two hundred and three chapters
Zhao Yao, who was about to fall into the country, heard Mr. Xiao's words, and the action of the falling son couldn't help but stop. He raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Xiao who was sitting opposite him in astonishment, and asked with a puzzled look: "Sir, why do you say that, what's wrong with the starling?" "No, does Mr. Xiao know what Starling does?
Impossible, what Starling did was so secretive, it was impossible for Mr. Xiao to do it.
The reason why he knew about the things that Starling did was just his guess, and he had no evidence. Mr. Xiao, a teaching gentleman, how could he know what the starling did.
Mr. Xiao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said, "The Eighth Prince is not a good type. "Mr. Xiao has always disliked the Eighth Prince, not because the Eighth Emperor was from a humble background, but because he didn't like the Eighth Prince's temperament.
"Sir, why do you think so?" What did Mr. Xiao know? "Did you know something, or heard something?"
Mr. Xiao said: "I didn't hear anything, I don't know anything, but ......"
"And what?"
"But I think that the Eighth Prince is not a good type." Mr. Xiao said very firmly, "I can't be wrong. β
Hearing Mr. Xiao say this, Zhao Yao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He also thought that Mr. Xiao knew something, and sweated for the starling in his heart, but he didn't expect that Mr. Xiao didn't know some of the things the starling did.
"Sir, Starling is my elder brother, whether he is good or not, he will not do anything to me."
Mr. Xiao doesn't think so. He frowned slightly and said, "The Eighth Prince is not a soft-hearted person. You're still young and don't pose any threat to him, so he's good to you. When you grow up and become a threat to him, he won't let you go. β
"Sir, I can't be a threat to starlings." Zhao Yao rubbed his thumb and rubbed the chess pieces, and said with a deep expression, "I'm not interested in that position, and I will never compete with the imperial brothers for that position." β
"Your Highness, you don't want to fight for that position, but will the other princes believe that you won't fight?" Mr. Xiao is not provoking the relationship between Zhao Yao and the Eighth Prince. He knew that Zhao Yao was not interested in the throne and didn't want to get involved in the seizure of the throne, but if he continued to get close to the Eighth Prince, he would definitely be implicated by the Eighth Prince at that time. Maybe the eighth prince used him as a shield for self-protection.
"If I guessed correctly, the Eighth Prince is only following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the surface, and secretly he must be cultivating his own power, and when the time is right, the Eighth Prince will definitely show his fangs." Mr. Xiao is very confident in his ability to see people.
Zhao Yao was so shocked that his mouth opened slightly, he didn't expect Mr. Xiao to guess.
"Sir, you said starlings ......" he had to pretend he didn't know anything.
"The Eighth Prince will not be subservient!" Mr. Xiao said in an indifferent tone, "A person like the Eighth Emperor just wants to climb all the way up, and then stand at the top of power to take revenge on those who look down on him or bully him. β
When Zhao Yao heard this, he silently exclaimed in his heart: Mr. Xiao's vision is really poisonous.
"The eighth prince does not please the emperor, and he has no maternal support, so he can only temporarily attach himself to the prince." Although Mr. Xiao is not interested in the affairs of the government and is unwilling to participate in it, it does not mean that he does not understand anything. On the contrary, he saw the situation in the DPRK and China very clearly. "I guess he is attached to the crown prince, and at the same time, he uses the prince to secretly cultivate his own power. When the net of the crown prince and the acting king is broken, the eighth prince will reveal his true colors. β
Zhao Yao was stunned, of course he pretended.
It was completely guessed by Mr. Xiao.
"The Eighth Prince is very well disguised on weekdays and has deceived everyone." Mr. Xiao said, and suddenly let out a heavy sigh, "The Eighth Prince has lived in all kinds of bullying since he was a child, and he has never felt any love, his mind will not be pure and upright, let alone kind, because what he has seen since he was a child is the darkness and filth in the palace. β
"People like him are dark and suspicious. When he ascends to the throne, it is not a good thing for Da Zhou and the people. β
"Sir, why are you so sure?" Zhao Yao felt that he still underestimated Mr. Xiao. Mr. Shaw was sharper than he had imagined.
"Because I've seen a lot of people like the Eighth Prince." Mr. Xiao sighed lightly and said, "I don't say this to drive a wedge between you and the Eighth Prince, but to let you defend the Eighth Prince." β
Seeing that Zhao Yao trusted and relied on the Eighth Prince very much, Mr. Xiao didn't want Zhao Yao to be hurt by the Eighth Prince in the future, so he hesitated for a long time before reminding him.
"Sir, I know you're doing it for my good." Zhao Yao smiled gratefully at Mr. Xiao, "But, sir, I still believe that Starling won't hurt me." β
When Mr. Xiao heard this, he asked with a surprised face, "Your Highness, why are you so convinced that the Eighth Prince will not harm you in the future?" β
"Sir, maybe as you said, the starling will show his fangs in the future and will hurt a lot of people, but the starling will definitely not hurt me." Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Starling will never hurt me!" β
Mr. Xiao didn't understand why Zhao Yao was so sure, "Your Highness, do you believe in the Eighth Prince so much?" β
"Yes, I believe starling!"
Mr. Xiao saw that Zhao Yao believed in the Eighth Prince so much, and he didn't know whether to continue for a while.
"Sir, to Starling, I am his only brother and his only relative in this world." Zhao Yao's expression became serious, "With this, Starling won't hurt me." β
Mr. Xiao felt that Zhao Yao's words also made some sense. He chuckled and said, "I hope the Eighth Prince can be worthy of your trust." β
Zhao Yao said with a smile: "I believe that Starling will not let me down. β
Mr. Xiao didn't talk about the Eighth Prince, but the Four Princes.
"The fourth prince is a very good person."
"Sir, are you very optimistic about the fourth brother?"
Mr. Xiao bowed his head slightly and said, "Well, the fourth prince is a good candidate. β
Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Sir, we have the same idea, and the fourth brother is indeed a good candidate." He added, "If nothing else, it will be the fourth brother who wins in the end." β
He didn't know what the fourth brother had done, but he guessed that the fourth brother should be the same as the starling brother, secretly cultivating his own power.
The fourth brother is not visible now, but after the prince's brother and the acting king fail, the fourth brother will no longer hide at that time, and his ambitions will also be revealed.
"The fourth brother is very responsible and has the world in mind." Zhao Yao said, "The most important thing is that the fourth brother has a benevolent heart. If he sits on the throne, he will definitely be a good emperor, maybe he will do better than his father. β
"Actually, among the princes, the four princes are most like the emperor, not the acting king." Mr. Xiao said, "The acting king just looks alike, but his temperament and ability are not like the emperor." β
If Sun Kui heard Mr. Xiao's words, he would definitely laugh at him for being naΓ―ve. Among the princes, the one who most resembles Emperor Wu of Zhou is not the acting king, nor the fourth prince, but Zhao Yao. If you don't say anything else, just say that you don't want to be an emperor, Zhao Yao is exactly the same as Emperor Wu of Zhou.
"I think so too."
"Your Highness, do you want the Fourth Princes to win in the end, or the Eighth Prince?"
Zhao Yao, who asked this question, was slightly stunned. He didn't answer immediately, but thought for a moment and said, "The fourth brother and the starling brother are both good brothers to me, and they are both very good to me. No matter which seat they sit in, I'm happy for them, it's just ...... Like you said, starling's temperament is a little ...... "Starling's temperament is a little paranoid, and I'm afraid it will be very extreme when he does things."
"Compared with starling, the fourth brother is more suitable for that position. For the sake of Da Zhou and the people, I hope that the fourth brother will win in the end. "And one of the most important reasons. If the fourth brother sits in that seat in the end, and he helps the starling to intercede with the fourth brother, the fourth brother will save the starling's life, but if the starling wins in the end, he helps the fourth brother to intercede with the starling, and the starling will not necessarily save the fourth brother's life.
"Will you help the Four Princes?" Mr. Xiao asked.
Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "I won't help the fourth brother, and I won't help the starling." β
He added, "I'm not going to meddle in their affairs." Besides, I'm a stupid brother, what qualifications do I have to be involved in the affairs between them. β
Mr. Xiao was amused by Zhao Yao's words: "Your Highness, you are not stupid. β
"I'd better be stupid." Zhao Yao smiled and said, "It's good to be a stupid child." β
Mr. Xiao understood what Zhao Yao meant, nodded in agreement, and said, "What His Highness said is true." β
After he finished speaking, he thought about it, and decided to remind Zhao Yao again, "Your Highness, it is indispensable to guard against people." β
Zhao Yao nodded and said, "I know, sir." β
This is Mr. Xiao's kindness, and Zhao Yao will not refuse.
"The three princes are ......," Mr. Xiao said of the three princes and the five princes, "compared to the Xie family of the Zhenguo Mansion, the Wang family is more hateful." β
Speaking of the Wang family, Mr. Xiao's face showed undisguised disgust.
Seeing that Mr. Xiao hated the Wang family so much, Zhao Yao asked curiously and suspiciously, "What's wrong with the Wang family?" "The Wang family is still a little worse than the Xie family. If the stinky father wants to deal with the family in the capital, he will definitely capture the thief and capture the king first, and the first one to deal with should be the Xie family of the Zhenguo Mansion.
"The Wang family has also committed a lot of crimes." Mr. Xiao said in a cold tone.
"There are a lot of crimes in the family." Zhao Yao flicked the chess pieces with his thumb, and then reached out to catch them, "None of the families are clean, it's just that they haven't touched the bottom line of their father yet, so their father turns a blind eye to them." If they anger their father, they will be like the family in Yangzhou. β
"The family is a cancer, but unfortunately they can't be completely eradicated."
"The families in the capital are not as rampant and stupid as the families in Yangzhou, they are shrewd." Zhao Yao said, "It is impossible to completely eradicate the family in the capital, and a move to deal with the family in Yangzhou is not suitable for dealing with the family in the capital." β
"Besides, if the gate valve family in the capital is forced to be in a hurry, they may rebel." Zhao Yao said with a serious expression, "If these families join forces to deal with the imperial court, the imperial court may not be able to withstand it. β
"Your Highness, what do you think of dealing with the family in the capital?"
"It's very simple, divide them, so that they will never be able to join forces."
"How?"
Zhao Yao said: "One word [benefit]." β
"Leigh?"
"Families are very selfish, they only care about the interests of their own families, and they will never give up their interests for the sake of other families." Zhao Yao said, "Isn't my father the emperor always sowing discord in the past few years, these families seem to be amiable on the surface, but in fact, they secretly regard each other as opponents and want to seize each other's interests." β
"The reason why the emperor's grandfather and father married the Xie family in the first place was not because the Xie family was a top-level gatekeeper, but because they wanted to use the Xie family to divide the family."
"You see, the Wang family has never recognized the Xie family as their leader. They have always wanted to pull the Xie family down, and it is best to share the Xie family. β
"The higher my father holds up the Zhenguo Mansion, the more jealous the Wang family becomes."
Mr. Xiao didn't think about this about the family.
"Taught."
If His Highness competes for that position, with His Highness's intelligence, I am afraid that the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince are not His Highness's opponents.
Old irons, today's noon update has been postponed to the evening. I'm going back to my hometown this morning, and it's too late to update the code word.
The second watch came, although it was a little late.
Tomorrow is a holiday, are the old irons staying at home, or are they going out to travel?
Finally, continue to ask for a monthly pass!
