What is the most lively in Yue now, of course, is the five princes competing for each other.

The second prince Meng Zhaolin could have sat firmly on the throne of the crown prince, but the other four brothers didn't do it, and it was called a hot one, the third prince Meng Ximao united with the fourth Meng Jintai and the second brother to do it against the second brother, the fifth Meng Youyuan and the sixth Meng Lingjin were at odds with the third and fourth brothers, and they had no feelings with the second brother.

However, the sixth prince Meng Lingjin was seriously injured by the assassin, and it was rumored that the fourth prince Meng Jintai sent someone to do it, and was sued by the family of the sixth prince's imperial concubine to the emperor Meng Dong, and the fourth had to come to the capital to explain to his father.

Judging from this behavior, the four princes have basically lost the crown prince's position, and even if they get the crown prince in the future, the other brothers will not accept it, unless they are all killed.

Right now, in order to deal with the affairs of his five sons, Meng Tong's scalp is about to be broken, and the folds submitted from their fiefdom are all complaints.

said that these princes were fishing and eating the people, imposing taxes, and making lamentations all over the country.

And Wenwu is devoting himself to the competition for the position of the prince at the moment, after all, they have paid so much, it is difficult to turn back in time, and those who should be offended have been offended, only the prince who keeps standing in line, what he loses now, will come back in the future.

This morning, Meng Tong was dressed in a gray-black imperial robe, embroidered with a moire golden dragon, wearing a crown, and looking majestically at the ministers below who were chattering and arguing.

Quite disappointed, he knocked on the armrest of the dragon chair, and the eunuch under the imperial stairs understood, and immediately shouted: "Quiet!" ”

Buzz Buzz...... The noise fell silent in an instant.

"Zhu Qing is clamoring to treat this place as a market? This is the court! The place where I deal with national affairs is not a place where you compete for power and covet power! ”

On the dragon chair, the emperor of Yueguo, who had always been calm-hearted, suddenly became angry, and the sound resounded throughout the hall, shaking the ears of the ministers and not going away for a long time.

"My five princes are young and ambitious, and I just turned a blind eye to let them fight, but what about you? Half of the people are in the ground, and they are sharpening their heads and burrowing into the camp, you look at these things-"

Meng Tong threw the folds of the complaints piled up on the dragon case down the imperial steps, "They are all submitted by the Taishou from various states and places, although my dignified Yue Kingdom is not a powerful state, but it is not so smoky!" ”

Everyone was unveiled by the emperor, and their old faces were flushed, and they didn't dare to respond.

"I know what you think, but what do you want to do?"

"Call the Four Princes in!"

After saying this in one breath, Meng Tong sat back on the dragon chair with some fatigue, he was over half a hundred years old, and he had exhausted all his energy to organize government affairs on weekdays, and now he was reconciling his five sons, as well as these civil and military forces jumping up and down in the court, he felt that his limit was approaching.

"How's the movement in the Central Plains?" The fourth prince hadn't come over yet, so he asked first.

"Your Majesty, according to the report of the spies, the Son of Heaven of Xia sent the Qingzhou Army to settle in Huizhou."

Meng Tong frowned slightly, settled in Huizhou?

He put down his posture and invited the Son of Heaven to come forward to reconcile, although there was a temptation, but it was not enough to let him move troops, right? Since the former one is impossible, it is definitely for him to see, or for his five sons.

After being quiet for a while, Meng Tong closed his eyes, he couldn't count on the following courtiers at all, and after a while, a burly figure entered with armor on, strode into the hall, and knelt on his knees: "Son, please see my father!" ”

"Get up!" Meng Tong closed his eyes and raised his hand slightly.

"Thank you, Father!"

Meng Jintai took a piece of nail leaf and rubbed it, stood up, stood there straight without squinting, except for the dead eldest brother Meng Zhuowen, he was the tallest and burly of the remaining five princes, it is rare to see such a height in Yue Kingdom, but unfortunately he is narrow-minded and a little messy.

For a long time, Meng Tong never thought of him as a candidate for the crown prince.

"Jintai, my father asked you, you sent someone to assassinate you, right?"

"Father, no!"

"You really don't know?"

"Father, even if the child sends someone to do it, then he should be punished a little, who told him to insult me behind his back"

"Between brothers, just fight, kill people, then break the bottom line of being a father!"

Meng Tong watched his son grow up little by little, what kind of temperament is clear, even if the other party denies it just now, he naturally won't believe it, sure enough, he asked again, and then admitted it, and then found another excuse, if it was something else, Meng Tong turned a blind eye and passed, but the assassination of another son was his blood and blood, how not to be angry!

"You want to kill someone this time, kill your own brother, but fortunately it didn't work, but the old man also became seriously injured, and now he is still in a coma, this matter will not pass like this!"

"Father...... Meng Jintai looked panicked, and hurriedly knelt down.

Meng Tong saw him kneeling, he didn't pay attention to it at all, flicked his dragon sleeves, turned back to the dragon chair and sat down, and said loudly: "Spread the holy decree, the fourth prince Meng Jintai was blinded by greed, and did not think of brotherhood, so that brothers killed each other, and became the prince in vain. ”

In an instant, the faces of the dozen or so civil and military people who stood in line with the four princes changed, and then they became more and more pale. Meng Jintai was sent back to the fiefdom, which meant that the opportunity to compete for the crown prince was lost.

Meng Jintai was also panicked, he has always been impulsive, doing such a thing, he also thought about his father's punishment, but he didn't expect it to be so heavy, and he directly extinguished his idea of fighting for the crown prince.

“…… Father, the son has something to say, the old man is disrespectful, and when it comes to the queen mother, the son is angry and asks the assassin to assassinate ......"

"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

Suddenly a panicked scream interrupted Meng Jintai's words, and all the civil and military officers looked back at the outside of the main hall, and a eunuch hurriedly came in, bypassing the back of the civil and military forces on the right, and came to the oblique side of the imperial staircase, with a panicked look on his face, and said breathlessly.

"Your Majesty, the people of two states have rebelled......"

"What?!"

The emperor stood up in horror, and in the main hall, those civil ministers and military generals who had been able to speak were instantly silent.

For a long time, there was a faint, small and fragmented voice in the court, and Meng Jintai also looked at the eunuch in surprise, and then looked at his father on the dragon chair.

On the imperial steps, Meng Tong shook a little, took a step forward holding the corner of the table of the dragon case, looked at the eunuch standing at the oblique corner of the imperial steps, and squeezed out with difficulty.

"How did you rebel?"

The eunuch hurriedly told the emperor and all the civil and military officials in the court the words he relayed from the fast horse. When they heard that many people could not live anymore, a rebellion broke out, and everyone in the court immediately bowed their heads.

"This ...... How could it be ......"

Looking at the eunuch, Meng Tong's whole person was in a trance.

"I ......"

He clenched into a fist and pressed it on the corner of the table, just dealt with the affairs of the fourth son, and the rest was to re-select a qualified prince among the other four princes.

After a period of silence, Meng Tong raised his hand and waved, "The fourth brother will immediately return to your fiefdom, as for the rebellious people, immediately send someone to investigate, find out the number of people, weapons and armor, and who instigated it!" ”

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, waved his hand in a low voice, and when he withdrew from the hall with a look at the Chinese martial arts, Meng Jintai looked at the departing father and emperor, and then slowly got up and walked out of the hall in a lost soul.

Immediately afterwards, there were supportive civil and military personnel surrounding him.

"This is not the place to discuss countermeasures, first go out of the imperial city and go to my city mansion to talk."

Changing his panicked and frightened look before, Meng Jintai glanced back at the empty hall, turned around and strode away. He felt nothing about the rebellion of the people, but he was deprived of the opportunity to compete for the throne, and he was unwilling in his heart.

There are a few rebellions of the people in Linzhou and Longzhou, which cannot be sealed at all, and in less than an afternoon, the entire capital has been spread, of course, there is also one who seems to have known in advance, at this moment he is sitting on the second floor of the restaurant on a street in the capital of Yueguo, the old god is sipping tea, humming a small song, and there are two embroidery people standing next to him.

When the news of the rebellion came, he stopped the little song, chuckled a few times, got up from the stool lazily, and stretched his waist.

"The old man has done too many bad things in his life, but those are all trembling, walking on thin ice, for fear of being discovered, only this time can be grandiose......"

Qin Hui put away the expression that the old god was there before, and looked outside with a smile, "...... To add insult to injury, hehe! ”

The two masters of the embroidery division looked at the old man who walked in front of them, couldn't help but glance at each other, followed behind Qin Hui, and muttered in a low voice.

No matter how he looks, he looks like a traitor in the book. ’

'Then aren't we the two of us traitors?' ’

"Fart, no matter how you say it, it should be Your Majesty's doglegs, what is the turn of the traitor."

The two of them muttered words, Qin Hui's ears in front of him could not be heard, and soon after, he took a carriage and quietly drove through two streets, and came to a stop in front of the mansion called Chongwangfu.

Qin Hui stepped out of the carriage, flicked his cuffs, and strode towards the mansion gate.

"It's my turn!"
