Chapter 26: The Struggle for the Throne

"Beauty, this sentence of yours will make your husband unlucky!" Kong Ming said again helplessly, fortunately, Tang Zixian knows how to grasp the balance, usually just say one or two sentences, just like a mantra.

"Come on, who doesn't know you, I know exactly how many hairs you have. Tang Zixian glanced at him and said, this sentence made Kong Ming embarrassed, fortunately, there are only two people here, there should not be too much separation between husband and wife, but who said that these two people were squeezed together by those old men! It's just that after a few months of getting along, Tang Zixian really accepted her fate, and she also tried to discover some of Kongming's advantages, and began to slowly accept Kongming, not only her, but also fifteen other people, a few months is enough for them to come out of the vanity of the forty flowers in the imperial capital.

"The battle for the throne of the empire is about to begin its final sprint, and a new emperor will begin to ascend the throne in less than two months. It was customary for the emperor of the empire to start succeeding to the throne on the empire's national day. Tang Zixian said lightly, as if stating something that has nothing to do with it. But apparently, her plan to use this to seduce Kumei's desire to speak has failed.

"The sea is so beautiful!" Kong Ming sighed, this is also Kong Ming's little plan, when there is no way to answer, you can only pretend to be stupid. In fact, Kong Ming also had no choice, you must know that he has a real high-level sage living here, although he has never known how many levels of sage Li Feiyang is, but he knows that his every move will be under Li Feiyang's nose, where does he dare to talk about these national affairs? Although he really doesn't know if Li Feiyang can hear these words. However, there is no big deal to be careful, and because of the agreement with Li Feiyang in the early stage, he did not tell these women about him, and because the women sent over belonged to different camps. These women also took turns to persuade him to support so-and-so, how a good law made him really annoyed, so he simply ignored nothing. I really can't ignore it, he has a good family, and the sixteen people are divided into several camps.

Sure enough, not long after Tang Zixian came up, the other warblers Yanyan also came, so in an instant, the back of Kongming was full of beauties.

The second prince and the fourth prince. The different princes of the five princes are like their relatives in their mouths, and the bits and pieces are vivid.

"The sea is so beautiful!" Kong Ming sighed again, and he didn't know why he kept sighing at this sentence for a while, as if he really missed the sea very much.

"Master, now is not the time to sigh!" Tang Zixin said. She is the daughter of the founding king of the empire and the lord of the county. Students of Imperial Comprehensive University. One of the four famous flowers of the imperial capital, the wind magister, and also a supporter of the Four Princes, because the Four Princes are his cousins, and her mother is sisters to the Mother of the Four Princes. Originally, she didn't mean to join this competition, but due to Kong Ming's reasons, the eldest prince and the third prince fell one after another. Let all those who pay attention to the battle for the throne really realize Kong Ming's influence on the throne, so the four princes also tried their best to influence Kong Ming through guò her, so that Kong Ming supported his ascendancy. Because it is well known that those princes were told that they could not pull Kong Ming into the battle for the throne, and what Kong Ming did at this stage not only did not affect the choice of the three princes to compete for the throne. They also expelled their two most powerful opponents from the battle for the throne, which greatly benefited them, so whether it was the second prince, the fourth prince or the fifth prince, they all tried to influence Kongming's choice with Guò Kongming's wives, because in their opinion, since Kongming could kill the two most advantageous competitors silently, they could also kill other opponents silently, and due to the complexity of Kongming's family, many wives were directly divided into three camps. The only way to do this is to adopt the ostrich policy, because it really can't be said that these ten beauties of the imperial capital, excellent teachers or students of comprehensive universities, Kong Ming is like a high school student facing a group of master's students to debate a certain advanced topic, where is Kong Ming's big old man who is the opponent?

"Yes, husband, you can't be on the wrong side at this juncture!" a proud voice came from the side. Tang Ziping said that she is the daughter of King Mingyi of the Empire, the county lord, a student of Comprehensive University, a water magician, one of the top ten school flowers of Comprehensive University, and she is also the cousin of the Fifth Prince.

"Yes, husband, you have to come up with an idea today, otherwise the sisters will fight endlessly, and it will not be conducive to family unity. Another voice said.

So he kept talking, Kong Ming looked at the sea, and sincerely hoped that this situation would end quickly, otherwise he could only solve this problem by constantly going to various places every day to inspect it, which would not let people live?

"Teacher, this Kongming is really a blessing, you see sixteen beauties circling around him, Yingge Yanyu, it is really a blessing for all people. Kong Hancheng sighed, he can't even think of this kind of life, it's not that there are no women, but there is no way to serve so many beauties like Kong Ming.

"Hehe, I don't think that's what Kong Ming thinks now, you look at his face, it's really not good, if you want me to see it, it's more like this. "Li Feiyang also has some disrespect for the elderly. For high-level saints like them, every step now requires the perception of rules or laws, so it is also good to take a look at these strange scenes once in a while, there are beautiful women, there is the sea.

"Which prince do you say Kong Ming supports?" Kong Hancheng asked.

"On the surface, he supports the second prince more, because he has communicated with the second prince a few times, and he also helped the second prince eliminate the eldest prince and the third prince, but in fact, who he supports is not a matter for us to decide. Li Feiyang also said.

"yes, he's never said who he's supporting! Teacher, something seems to have happened to them. ”

"Oh, is there one? Really, it's always fun to see. ”

Kong Ming didn't hear these words, otherwise he would definitely pull those women in front of these two and let them pay for the benefits of the women's mouths.

At this time, Kong Ming has no interest in the sea, I don't know why, today these women have to come to a situation where Kong Ming will not stop without expressing his position. And Kong Ming is also annoyed by their situation of annoying him all day long for these things. So today came a break, so that they died that heart.

"Alright, stop arguing!" Kong Ming roared. Because Kong Ming's voice came very suddenly, these women couldn't figure out the situation for a while, because since they entered the door of Kong Ming's house, they had never seen Kong Ming angry, thinking that Kong Ming would never be angry. But thinking about it, it did annoy Kong Ming today, but what disappointed Kong Ming was that there was no trace of surprise in their eyes, but more joy. It's not wrong to be happy, if Kong Ming has always been in such a tepid state as before. No one can figure out which prince he wants to support, and the more unclear those princes are, the more worried about Kong Ming coming back and cutting off their future, so they have to ventilate these sisters one after another, so they can inquire about Kong Ming's bottom line. Otherwise, I feel really uneasy. Now that Kong Ming has spoken, then it will be clear. For these things. These sixteen beauties have lived in the imperial capital since childhood, but they are Menqing. I'm not afraid that you won't take a stand, I'm afraid that you won't speak. Now it seems that a ray of sunshine is about to shine out, so that they are really looking forward to Kongming's following words.

"I know, you all want to know which prince I chose as the object of support, and you have been arguing for this for nearly two months. Now I'll give you a clue, otherwise you don't know how long you're going to quarrel! It doesn't matter, I'm also enjoying it, after all, not everyone has sixteen wives like me, and all of them are beautiful. It can be said that many people have died in envy. To tell the truth, I don't think any prince will have any impact on us after becoming emperor, let alone on our family, so I have never expressed anything. You said that I kicked the eldest prince and the third prince out of the battle for the throne, but in fact, you are wrong, all the people are wrong, from the moment the five of them stepped into the coastal city, they were under the test of the gods, in fact, they didn't know that since the moment they stepped into the coastal city, their actions were in the sight of the gods, and their words and deeds were recorded by those gods in their hearts and carefully investigated, after all, this is a matter related to the national policy and national management in the next thirty years, where is the sloppy matter? So what you and the people outside don't know the truth of the matter, it's just the Divine One who expresses their will by my hand. What does this have to do with me?" At this point, Kong Ming had to take out those people who were hidden behind the scenes as a shield, in short, they couldn't ask for the opinions of those gods, in this case, isn't it what Kong Ming says? In fact, it is also the case, after hearing that these are the will of those high-level saints, their hearts suddenly became heavy, if this is really Kong Ming's doing, then they can also rely on Kong Ming's wife to give Kong Ming some pillows to blow the wind, but if it is a high-level saint, that is, those gods behind the empire, then they are not even qualified to meet, how can it affect the decision of the emperor?

"Moreover, whether it is the second prince, the fourth prince or the fifth prince, they are vying for the throne of God, that is their family matter, after you get married, you have to think about our empty family, don't think about those things anymore, women will not participate in these things. Because you will follow me for the rest of your life, we are almost a prosperous relationship, no matter who I support, as long as that person is not in power, then our empty family will not have a good time in the future. Personally, I don't really care, because in the days to come, most of my time will be spent fighting outside, and the person in the position will also look at this to be a little better for our family, but it is not as good as now, none of us support it, no one opposes it. You know, if we don't support either side, although we can't become close ministers, we can keep the family alive, and in the days to come, we can slowly change this image, after all, we didn't help them in their most difficult time, but we didn't fall into the stone, but if we get involved, wives, we will have to drink porridge every day in the future. Kong Ming said his thoughts, this is the most basic one, do nothing, do nothing.

"Besides, how much do you people know about such things as politics? Don't think that you know everything in the imperial capital all day long? That's just because these things seem to be very close to you. Far away, actually. Because these are just talking points for you, which seems to be shocking, but in fact they are not. However, once the participation is in, this qiē will be different. You don't just have to think about your political enemies, your friends, you have to think about all these things, otherwise you don't know how you died. Because in this aspect, it is more of a combination of interests, and the other qiē are all fake. To tell the truth, there are still a group of gods in the empire now, so there will be no big mess, like some other countries or families, for a broken position. Fathers and sons kill each other, and brothers kill each other. Such abounds. What are you women doing in there, no matter who wins or loses, the royal is always the winner. Do you want your husband to play with someone else all day long? If you win, you won't have more meat, and if you lose, you want the whole family to drink the northwest wind. So, don't talk about these things at home in the future. I don't want to hear anything like that again, and if you really want to talk about it, it's okay, you go back to your mother's house and talk about it. Anyway, my statement to the outside world is that I will not participate in the battle for the prince. ”

Kong Ming's attitude is very resolute, so that these wives really appreciate the decisiveness of being a soldier, indeed, Kong Ming's attitude is like this, the battle for the throne, that is a royal matter, although he is the royal son-in-law, but has always been the most restricted group of people in the royal family, because there are not a few people who have interfered in politics with royal sons-in-law in the past dynasties and made the empire turbulent, so in the country where there is generally no god to sit and suppress, the horse can not hold important positions, and can only hold some idle positions within the scope of the royal allow, those positions that are dispensable for the country's policy。 The royal family has restricted its own people to death so much, let alone other people, that the powerful ministers of the country have always either died miserably or will replace the royal family. It can be said that the reason why Kong Ming obtained the position of commander of the Eastern Naval Region is because he was originally a soldier saint, a kind of saint who is extremely out of the door, and he is also the saint most needed by the empire, and the other is that he is the one who was later found to have dragon blood, so there are so many princesses, The county lord and the talented women flocked to it, in the final analysis, these are just the victims of the bloodline improvement of the major families, because of this, until now there has been no wedding for them in the empire, that is to say, in the royal genealogy, this period of marriage does not exist. Although this is a well-known thing in the imperial capital, there is no record, and in about seven or eight years, those slanders will disappear in the long river of history, which is just a small wave in the river. And Kong Ming is even more because of the slaughter of the gods and the announcement of future plans again, so that those people behind the empire can make him very free in a certain way, but it is precisely because of this that Kong Ming will have self-knowledge, he will not provoke the bottom line of the royal family for no reason, even if he knows that in the next short period of time, the person who sits on the throne must be one of his descendants, but he will not say or do something because of this. This is the foundation of his ability to survive in the political arena of the Zài Empire, not the seemingly glamorous name of the horse.

"You are all people who are familiar with the history books, don't you know why we got married, but we didn't even have a decent wedding, don't you think it's strange?

Kong Ming looked at their unwilling eyes, and knew that these women did not have any restraint because of Kong Ming's words, but wanted to persuade Kong Ming with sharper words. So Kong Ming simply put it bluntly and let this group of big-chested and brainless guys think about it.

"I am the general of the empire, and you are the princess of the empire. The daughter of the county lord and the duke, so I can't be the son-in-law of the royal family, even if it really is, but I can't admit it to the outside world, this is the unanimous acquiescence of many officials in the empire, we are just ordinary husband and wife, I am just an upstart who took sixteen beauties at once, and I am just a nouveau riche who has taken great luck, but I will not be the concubine of the empire, because in my position, I cannot be the concubine of the empire, to put it bluntly, I cannot interfere in anything with the royal family. You know, wives, that's the rules of the game. I can't break the rules of the game, if I break the rules of the game, then our family will have to drink the northwest wind, or to put it bluntly, once I really interfere with the election of the royal throne, then the next moment, I will become a commoner, and you, my wives, have you ever thought that in the future, you will be in a small room, seventeen people together hot pit? No matter what kind of promises they have now, but once they come to power, the first thing they will do is to take me, the general, to the end, which is an inevitability, and it is also the inevitability of foreign ministers interfering in the affairs of the royal family. So, wives, are you ready to go back to the Kari Prairie with me to retire?"

The so-called foreign ministers are the type of relatives similar to Kong Ming, who are concubines and the wives of those emperors, and this is also the group of people who interfered the most in the affairs of the royal family in all dynasties, because they have a lot of unclear and incomprehensible relationships with the royal family after all. Kong Ming can be said to have talked about their sore spot this time, before they worked hard for those princes, trying their best to persuade Kong Ming, just to make Kong Ming a minister of the emperor, so that he can be in the center of the government in the future, and get greater rights and interests, and as wives, they will also get better things, and their children will also get better things. And they can enjoy the pleasure of it. However, now Kong Ming told them that if Kong Ming joined in this battle, then they would have nothing, and they could not have anything, so how did these people who were accustomed to enjoying people's praise in the imperial capital deal with it? They always thought about how to see the scenery, but never thought about the risks behind this scenery. All of a sudden, the balcony sank. They can persuade Kong Ming for their own family, but the family will not bear the consequences for them, that is to say, no matter how Kong Ming falls, they must follow Kong Ming, even if they leave Kong Ming, they will not live better, this kind of benefit and damage may be done by someone, but think about it They also have to think about it, instead of talking nonsense in front of Kong Ming again.

"Teacher, is there Kong Ming who said it so strictly?" Kong Hancheng asked, Kong Ming's words as if they were in his ear.

"This is the case in all dynasties, even if they are extremely beautiful for a while, as a foreign minister, they always have to submit to the feet of the royal family, Kong Ming This is very thorough! As he said, once Kong Ming joins this political whirlpool, once the new emperor comes to power, the first thing is to clear the dissidents, Kong Ming is a halfway monk, not his most loyal person, and he has a heavy army, if it is not for the particularity of Kong Ming, then after clearing those who hinder his path, he will eliminate people like Kong Ming. Li Feiyang said that no one would rest assured that a general with a million troops in his hands would let him interfere in the affairs of the court.

"So it's true?"

"That's right, Kong Ming sees it very accurately!" Li Feiyang affirmed.

There was silence on the balcony, and the last voice asked weakly, "Husband, did you say it so strictly?" Mu Wan'er asked, she really didn't know much about this, and she was also pulled in by these women to make up the numbers.

"Who knows, it's just that in all dynasties, once the son-in-law of the royal family participates in the royal affairs, the end is not very good, there are no exceptions!" Kong Ming's voice was a little low, which made the women even more shocked. They are only being deceived. (To be continued......)

PS: I ask you generals, to recommend a lot, whether it is a recommendation vote or a recommendation to others, thank you, your support is the best reason for me to write down......
