Zhou Wenbo said: "Then I will have something to say." The battle for the succession has complicated the situation of the court, and many people have been involved. At present, there are nine princes who have the strength to compete for the throne, and they all have the support of big families and monks of various schools behind them, and they are very powerful. His Royal Highness is the prince of the country, and he does not have the conditions and qualifications to compete for the throne, and the Qin family behind His Royal Highness defected to support the Seven Princes, resulting in His Royal Highness's weakness. Not to mention fighting for the throne, it is difficult to say whether he can save his life. ”

"Does the prime minister want me to fight for this throne?" How could Li Leng not understand Zhou Wenbo's thoughts.

The fish, finally hooked.

"Yes, His Royal Highness's majesty is unmatched, and the Tang Dynasty will be handed over to His Highness, and he will definitely dominate the world. Zhou Wenbo said very seriously, "It is true that His Royal Highness is the Duke of the Kingdom, and there is no support from various families and Xiuzhen schools behind it, but these disadvantages are an advantage from a certain point of view." ”

Zhou Wen didn't understand and asked, "Grandpa, how is this a kind of advantage for the master?"

Zhou Wenbo didn't answer, but looked straight at Li Leng.

Li sneered, this Zhou Wenbo is really bold, and he tested him again.

"It's very simple, our saint, he also won the last throne by launching a coup d'état, so His Majesty is very suspicious. Li said coldly, "He is afraid that one day, those powerful princes will also launch a coup d'état to oust him from the throne as he did when he was young." But I'm different, I don't have the support of the family and various schools behind me, and I am alone, so I can only rely on Your Majesty. In this way, His Majesty is more at ease with me, and my chances are greater. ”

Zhou Wenbo's eyes were full of admiration and surprise, and he said very respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Ten Princes is very strategic, and he can see through the essence of seizing the heir at a glance. At present, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince Yuwang, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince Chengwang, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Great Prince Rongwang, they are the most powerful, and they are all supported by the five major families of the Tang Dynasty. But at the same time, His Majesty is the most wary and suspicious of them, which will limit their development. His Royal Highness the Ten Princes are different, there is no support from the family and various Xiuzhen schools behind him, if the Ten Princes ascend to the throne, first, it will not threaten His Majesty's imperial power, and second, it can contain the threat of other princes. ”

Zhou Wen said: "But in this way, it will be much more difficult for the master to win the throne in the future, he does not have the support of the family and the various cultivation schools, once His Majesty soars away, then this throne will not be obtained by those royal highnesses." If these people ascend to the throne, wouldn't the end of the Master be very miserable. ”

Zhou Wenbo laughed and said: "If you don't fight, you fight, if you don't fight, the key is to see how you fight and how you fight." If His Royal Highness the Ten Princes is just a lonely person and a killing tool in the hands of His Majesty, then His Royal Highness's final outcome will either be abandoned by His Majesty or killed by others. I asked His Highness not to fight for the time being, so that His Highness could secretly accumulate strength and cultivate power, not a passive response. This is the essence of indisputability. ”

Zhou Wen thought about it carefully, but still didn't understand the meaning of her grandfather's words.

Li Leng admired this old and cunning veteran of the Three Dynasties, he saw the court situation more thoroughly than anyone else, saw everyone's thoughts and human nature clearly, and hit the nail on the head with a word.

Zhou Wenbo continued: "The most important thing for His Royal Highness the Ten Princes at the moment is to restore the title of the prince as soon as possible. Only when the prince reaches the title of prince can he be eligible to be canonized as a prince and inherit the throne. But if you want to restore the title of prince, it is indeed very difficult under the complicated court situation. The only way is to build miracles. ”

"How should Master establish a miracle skill?" Zhou Wen also asked nervously.

Zhou Wenbo didn't answer Zhou Wen's question, but looked at Li Leng and asked, "What does Your Highness think?"

Li Leng said: "If you want to quickly establish Qigong and restore the title of prince, there are two ways to go, the first is to reach an alliance contract with the Han Dynasty to jointly fight against the threat of the various clans in the Western Regions to the border of our Tang Dynasty." After a series of changes, the land was unified, and the national strength was extremely strong. If we do not reach an alliance agreement with the Han Dynasty, we will face the risk of fighting on two fronts, and once the Yuanrong clan launches a fierce offensive again, our Datang will definitely be defeated like a mountain, directly threatening the foundation of the imperial court. ”

Zhou Wenbo said: "Yes, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty have been at war continuously, hundreds of years before and after, both sides have been killed and injured, and the hatred accumulated by the two countries for hundreds of years is difficult to resolve for a while." Therefore, it is extremely difficult to achieve an alliance between the two countries, and it is also a great test of one's resourcefulness and skill. ”

"Everything is man-made, and there is not necessarily no opportunity. Li said coldly, "Between countries, there is no eternal enmity, and there is no eternal alliance, only eternal interests." I think that the possibility of an alliance between the two countries will be relatively high, and the key depends on whether the envoys sent out dare to take such a huge risk. ”

Zhou Wenbo nodded and asked: "This one credit can only allow His Highness to restore the title of county king, and if you want to restore the title of prince, you need a great credit." Does Your Highness know what another great merit is?"

Li Leng said: "The Yuanrong clan has captured thirty cities in our northern border, and these thirty cities are very important to my entire Tang Dynasty, and they are a strategic buffer against the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong clan. With these thirty cities, it is not easy for the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry to invade my Tang territory. If I can recover these thirty cities in the northern frontier, then I will not only be able to restore the title of prince, but also establish personal prestige in the army and regain control of the military power in the northern frontier. ”

"Haha, at the beginning, His Highness used the military power of the northern frontier in exchange for the temporary support of His Royal Highness King Yu, which was really a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone. Zhou Wenbo slapped his thigh, sincerely admired Li Leng's strategy and courage, and said, "Without military power, Your Majesty can rest assured that His Royal Highness the Ten Princes will not regard His Royal Highness as a strong rival, which is very beneficial for His Highness to hide himself." At the same time, a military power successfully pushed His Royal Highness King Yu to the front, so that His Majesty was wary and suspicious of His Royal Highness King Yu. ”

"However......" Zhou Wenbo said worriedly, "these two miraculous skills are not so easy to establish. If you are not careful, you will never recover. Sending an envoy to the Han Dynasty, nine deaths, and recovering thirty cities in the northern frontier must be a tragic and bitter battle. Your Highness, do you have faith?"

Li Leng said firmly: "I am willing to fight with this heaven and earth with my own strength." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the people in the car didn't say a word, Zhou Wenbo looked at Li Leng in a daze, for a long time, he got up, respectfully saluted Li Leng, and said: "Your Highness has the world in mind, is wise and far-sighted, and the old minister is happy and convinced." ”
