Chapter 550: Choosing a Candidate

"Okay, let's all go and do our own things, I have something to say to Xing Zhao alone."

"Yes, General."

Everyone rushed out, and before leaving, they didn't forget to stare at Xing Zhao twice, and after they all left, Xing Zhao shivered and said.

"Are they crazy? Look at me like you're looking at an enemy, I'm not going to be wasted, am I? ”

"Didn't you just shout?"

"Am I afraid of losing face for you? Anyway, I'm also your cousin, if I'm soft, wouldn't your reputation as General Gu be damaged? ”

Gu Shaoyu smiled, didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and then said seriously.

"You came this time, not just to hide from the Xing family, tell the truth, what happened?"

Xing Zhao was not polite, he sat down beside him, and he didn't have the gag just now, but said in a rather heavy tone.

"My uncle is about to ascend to the throne, and he is determined to support the Seventh Prince, but I don't look down on the Seventh Prince, so I don't want to go along with it."

"The Seventh Prince, now he is a three-year-old child, how old is he, you can't look down on it?"

"Three-year-old looks old, don't you know, people look harmless in front of people, but behind the scenes, it is extremely ridiculous, the concubine was still a beautiful girl when she was at home, how could she give birth to a son who couldn't support the wall with such mud?"

That is, Xing Zhao will say such a thing, if it is someone else, you should pay special attention to the name of the Seven Princes.

"And who do you have in mind?"

"It's not bad to look at the eldest prince for the time being, at least he is a gentleman who keeps his success, in the end, he is the person who was personally taught by Guo Xiang back then, calm and polite, and when he becomes a relative next year, he will also enter the court to do things, and when those little princes grow up, he is afraid that he will already have real power in his hands."

The eldest prince is the son of Empress Yan, Xing Zhao thinks he is good, so he is bound to do it against the Xing family, so he also saw through this early, so he "ran away", otherwise if he stayed in Sui'an City, he would be a person who aided and abused.

Hearing his words, Gu Shaoyu didn't hide it, and then said.

"Madame just sent Liu Xun to send a message, saying that Guo Si has taken a fancy to the second prince and asked me what I think?"

"Second prince? He didn't have any reputation at all, and I had never paid attention to it before. ”

Guo Shilang didn't trust Xing Zhao very much, but Gu Shaoyu wouldn't, Xing Zhao was a brother who played with him, since he had stated that he would never support the Seventh Prince before he came, then Gu Shaoyu would be less embarrassed, so he blurted out the matter.

"What does my cousin mean? Do you think the eldest prince or the second prince is better? ”

Although it is too early to talk about the next emperor, these people have all participated in the last battle for the throne, so many things are still laid out early, and if they really choose someone, they must also be cultivated as soon as possible.

It's a pity, Gu Shaoyu shook his head.

"I don't choose either."

"Huh? Then do you have a crush on other princes? ”

Now the emperor has the princes under his knees, that is, the big, second, third, fourth, seventh, and eighth princes, and the matter of choosing one of the six, in addition to the seven princes, there are still five.

If you don't choose two or two, it won't be a person who looks down on three, four, or eight miles, right?

Xing Zhao made a bitter face, and looked at Gu Shaoyu's expression a little unspeakable, but this is a big matter, and he still has to explain it early.

"The third prince and the fourth prince, I look at them coldly, they are all followers, I can't afford to provoke this big beam, the eighth prince is too young, and he is also a person supported by the new ministers, you don't want to choose him, right?"

Gu Shaoyu listened to his words, but he was not in a hurry, but looked confident, so he took him to the map, and then pointed to a place name on it, and did not say more.

"You have a crush on King Jue?"

"I have a crush on the prince of the king."

The prince of the king, he has not appeared in Sui'an City for many years, the last time Xing Zhao saw him was when he was enthroned at the throne ceremony, all the vassal kings needed to bring the prince to Sui'an City to worship, he was born with a clear breeze and a moon, and he was quite prominent among the princes.

But among the royal family, it is not a good thing that only looks stand out.

Therefore, Xing Zhao can be said to have no impression of him, and he also believes that the nobles in Sui'an City are afraid that they will not be able to remember such a person.

"Does Mr. Wen remember?"

"Naturally, he is known for his strange temper, Guo Xiang and you spent several years in order to recruit him into the East Palace to help His Majesty, but didn't he later say that he offended His Majesty, so he was shelved when he was still in the East Palace? I don't know where I've been in the past few years, but I've disappeared. ”

What Xing Zhao knows, naturally, is also known to everyone in Sui'an City.

It's just a strategist, there are Guo Xiang, Gu Shaoyu and other virtuous ministers, where will anyone still remember him.

But Gu Shaoyu is different, he has really dealt with Mr. Wen and knows what kind of temper he is, so he can be a loyal person, he must be a ruthless character.

So, he said to Xing Zhao as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Mr. Wen is in Juezhou now."

"The prince recruited him?"

"Hmm."

Hearing this, even Xing Zhao felt that this prince was at stake.

"On weekdays, I see that he is not inconspicuous, and even Mr. Wen can recruit him, but I am curious, how did he do it?"

That's a hot potato.

He has the treachery of the strategists, and he has the integrity of the courtiers, and he speaks and does things most unlogically.

"When Mr. Wen ran away from the East Palace, the prince was afraid that such a person would fall into the hands of others, so he deliberately found someone to assassinate, and when I got the news and rushed over to save him, he had fallen off the cliff and disappeared, he had no news over the years, everyone thought he was dead, until two months ago, I didn't know that he was rescued by the son, and he has been raised in Juezhou for so many years."

"So he repaid the favor by helping the son to win the country and repay the kindness of saving his life?"

"That's just one of them, look at the content of this message."

After speaking, Gu Shaoyu handed over a letter, which densely recorded the changes in Xuanzhou in recent years.

King Jue is the cousin of the first emperor, but he has always been a transparent existence.

Compared with King Fu, Princess Yuehua, a relative of the emperor and his mother, stood like an exiled clansman.

Back then, when the crown prince and the four princes were fighting fiercely, no one thought of pulling him into the game, so you can imagine how meagre his existence was.

But under such circumstances, Juezhou has turned from a somewhat remote and not wealthy state and county to a rich and stable state, how can people not pay attention? (End of chapter)
