Emperor Chu knew that his son had a gentle temperament, but he followed himself back then.

But it is because of the temperament of this idle cloud and wild crane that after Xiao Jingyao entered the East Palace, he did not fight, did not grab, did not win people's hearts, and did not make contributions.

On the other hand, the third prince, Xiao Jingyu, followed the king of Chu to sharpen in the army, went west to the mountains to quell the chaos, and went south to Nanzhou to control the floods...... One achievement after another made the court amazed.

At the same time, Xiao Jingyu co-opted the ministers of the DPRK and China as his arms.

In any respect, the third prince Xiao Jingyu has far surpassed the crown prince Xiao Jingyao.

In addition, Xiao Jingyu returned from training with the King of Chu this time, and everyone knew that the prelude to the three princes competing for the throne had begun.

Emperor Chu looked at Xiao Jingyao, a pair of eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, even if Xiao Jingyao concealed it well, he was still nervous in his heart.

After a while, Emperor Chu said leisurely: "The management of the horse farm is as short as half a year, and as long as three or five years, although the steppe wolf court has agreed to raise horses together with Great Chu, but the new horse farm is new, and everything is difficult at the beginning, and there must be complicated details to discuss." ”

"Emperor, do you have confidence?"

When Xiao Jingyao heard this, he stood up and saluted, and replied respectfully: "The son will definitely live up to his father's expectations." ”

Emperor Chu looked at Xiao Jingyao with a pair of deep eyes, as if he wanted to see through his prince's mind.

Under this scrutiny, the crown prince Xiao Jingyao was particularly calm. Before he came, he had already thought about everything in his heart, and he had rehearsed it countless times.

"Okay, since the emperor has confidence. I agreed to the emperor. In recent days, the emperor has made some preparations, remember to leave for your mother's place to say goodbye. ”

After Emperor Chu finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked Xiao Jingyao to retreat.

"Son's resignation!"

After Xiao Jingyao left, Emperor Chu's gaze fell on the chessboard again.

The staggered black and white chess pieces, the black pieces held by the Chu Emperor have become an unstoppable trend, and the white pieces are losing and retreating, and it seems that the defeat is decided.

But Emperor Chu suddenly picked up a white child, looked at the few places where the fallen son was, and finally stretched out his hand to drop the child.

One son is decided, and in the chessboard, all the sunspots and dragons are destroyed.

A son can reverse the situation, determine the victory or defeat, and turn defeat into victory!

Emperor Chu sighed and said, "Emperor, I hope you can turn things around." Otherwise, it is not impossible to hand over this country to others. ”

Xiao Jingyao returned to the East Palace with a spring breeze on his face, and he had achieved his goal by entering the palace today.

"Wan'er, play a song for the main palace." Xiao Jingyao said.

Seeing that Xiao Jingyao was so happy, the maid Wan'er first made a cup of tea and brought it to Xiao Jingyao.

"Your Highness is so happy, it seems that there is something happy about it?"

Xiao Jingyao took the tea and hugged Wan'er's soft body. "I asked my father for an errand. Prepare to prepare, and in a few days, you and I will set off north together. ”

Wan'er's eyes rolled, and she already had a guess in her heart, and said, "What Your Highness wants is an errand to build a horse farm with the Wolf Court?" ”

Xiao Jingyao stretched out his hand and gently scraped Wan'er's nose, and said with a smile: "Wan'er is really smart. ”

"Not bad. The queen mother has always wanted to get engaged to my sister and Chu Chen. But I've always been just a sister at the beginning of the morning. Let me marry Chu Chen's sister, it is impossible. ”

"It just so happens that the racecourse has just been built, and taking this opportunity, the palace can be delayed from Beijing. Of course, this palace wants to spend a few more days with Wan'er. ”

Wan'er was shy, blushing and said, "Your Highness, Wan'er is already content to be able to serve His Highness." Your Highness doesn't have to be Wan'er anymore...... Oops. ”

Xiao Jingyao picked up Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, this matter is up to the palace." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Jingyao had already picked up Wan'er and entered the palace.

The music I said before is not as good as Wan'er's soft moan.

......

As the night cooled, snow fell in the air again.

Thousands of lights are lit against the snow, and the goose-featherlike snow is dyed with a little yellowish fluorescence, like thousands of fireflies flying in the air.

It's a beautiful picture.

In the same heavy snow, under the lights of thousands of homes, each family has its own heart.

In the majestic palace of the King of Chu, Xiang Jinghao sat in the lobby, playing with a black dagger in his hand.

The inky blade emitted a cold glow, as piercing as winter snow.

In the hall, Xiao Jinghong, the prince of King Zhao, was sitting on a chair, casually glancing at the dagger in Xiang Jinghao's hand, and then withdrew his gaze and calmly drank the tea in his hand.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked for an errand to go north from His Majesty." Xiang Jinghao said.

Xiao Jinghong put down the teacup, looked at Xiang Jinghao, and said, "I heard about it too." It seems that the crown prince has realized the threat of the third prince to him, and he is also anxious to make contributions to protect his position in the East Palace. ”

Xiang Jinghao sneered, "Hmph." The merits accumulated by the three princes over the years can only be compared to such a thing as building a new horse farm. I think the prince is a little whimsical. ”

Xiao Jinghong was silent. Compared with Xiang Jinghao, who has been following the third prince Xiao Jingyu, Xiao Jinghong has been outside the court, but he sees it more clearly.

It doesn't matter what merit you make.

The important thing is what the crown prince has done in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor of Chu today.

Over the years, the crown prince Xiao Jinghong has not fought or grabbed, and has lived in a simple place. In political affairs, he is also diligent and loves the people, and is known as a benevolent person.

And now the prince is in decline, but it is not how he is lewd and deviant, which leads to people's disorientation.

Rather, he has always been reluctant to make friends with courtiers, and he has not deliberately wooed or deliberately distanced himself. That's why I'm alone today.

It is precisely because of this that the three princes and the party have never been able to find a reason to impeach the crown prince. There is no reason for impeachment, and the time to support the three princes to ascend to the throne is far away.

Xiang Jinghao didn't know, but Xiao Jinghong saw it clearly.

His Majesty the Emperor of Chu did not have the idea of deposing the crown prince and appointing another prince, at least not now.

Xiang Jinghao said to Xiao Jinghong: "Brother, in the face of the current situation, what suggestions do you have?" ”

Xiao Jinghong raised his eyebrows, wanting to pull me into the pit? Hehe.

Xiao Jinghong crossed his hands, rubbed them on his knees, and said, "Brother is stupid." I can't think of any good way to deal with it for the time being. This matter has to be pondered carefully. ”

Xiang Jinghao's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and with a "whoosh" of the dagger in his hand, he withdrew it into the scabbard and said, "I think that this matter must not be done by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The eyes of the two met in the air, and after colliding, they retracted in unison.

"Brother, this is the time for you to contribute to the third prince, I don't think my brother will refuse."

Xiao Jinghong laughed, "Haha, I naturally want to seize this opportunity." Brother Rong Wei went back and thought about it, and he would definitely finish this matter. ”

Saying that, Xiao Jinghong yawned and said goodbye: "It's late at night. Take the first step for your brother. ”

"Brother, go slowly." Xiang Jinghao got up to send him off.

After Xiao Jinghong left, Xiang Jinghao snorted coldly, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his expression.

"Xiao Jinghong, do you think you secretly reminded Qiu Ruoruo of something, I don't know?"

After Xiao Jinghong walked out of the palace side by side, Meng Duanzhang was already waiting at the door.

"His Royal Highness, I still don't want to get involved in this matter." Meng said in a broken chapter.

Xiao Jinghong smiled, "Mr. Gao, what Xiang Jinghao said is really as Mr. expected." Hmph, this is trying to pull me into the water, it's really childlike. ”

When Xiang Jinghao invited Xiao Jinghong into the mansion, Meng Duanzhang had already guessed the conversation in the mansion today.

Meng Duanzhang said humbly: "The prince of Chu is straightforward, but it is easy to guess. ”

Xiao Jinghong smiled again, "What does Mr. think, how should I deal with it now?" I can't afford to offend either side. ”

Seeing this, Meng Duanzhang whispered a few words in Xiao Jinghong's ear.

Immediately, Xiao Jinghong laughed and said, "Mr. is really powerful." ”
