"It seems that you have come to a conclusion, come and tell me, if you can really solve the problem, our lord owes you a big favor. "As soon as the old housekeeper opened his mouth, he was shocked by Shangguan Peng, you just casually scattered your master's favor outside.

"Let me ask you a question first, how many sons does your lord have. ”

"Five sons, what's wrong? The old butler replied.

"Which son is the heir chosen by your lords? ”

"Of course it's the uncle, the young and the old are orderly. ”

"Then which is your lord's favorite son? ”

"Fourth master. Grandpa is simply obedient to the fourth master, and he gives whatever he wants, even if he gets into trouble, he seems to be trying to settle for him. ”

"Your master is really a loving father. Can the eldest young master be treated in the same way? ”

"That can't be. The master is very strict with the eldest young master, especially the eldest young master's studies, and the eldest young master is often scolded by the master for not doing well in his studies. ”

"Then you go back and tell your master. Since he himself is so good at cultivating successors, why should the authorities be confused?" Shangguan Peng said with a smile.

"What do you mean by that? I'm not talking to you about our lord's problem, it's about the prince's problem. The old butler was a little stunned.

"If your lord wants to ask you, you just tell him so, and he will understand. Letting go of the burden in his heart, Shangguan Peng has a great appetite.

The old butler was a little unapprehended, raised his head and said to Shangguan Peng, "Can't you make your words clearer? ”

"Why are you so bothered? If you say that, your lord will understand. Shangguan Peng didn't raise his head and continued to eat and drink.

"What if our lord doesn't get it right. ”

"If your lord doesn't figure it out, then you suggest that your lord resign, it's easy to lose your life as an official. ”

"Even if our lord could figure it out. Don't beat around the bush. Are you showing your abilities?" the old butler was a little impatient, most of all because he didn't figure it out himself.

Shangguan Peng put down his chopsticks and breathed a long sigh of relief, he finally had his fill, "There are some things that you have to realize, and they are your own." If it's up to me to say it, then the next time he encounters something like this, he may not understand, there is a university question in this. ”

Seeing that Shangguan Peng insisted on not speaking, the old housekeeper could only nod helplessly, and accompanied Shangguan Peng to drink and chat. After Shangguan Peng left, the old housekeeper couldn't wait to return to the city lord's mansion and tell the city lord the truth.

"What did Shangguan Qianhu explain to you? Did you say which prince he would support? "The city lord is a little impatient, he has been very troubled recently.

"He asked him to say that he didn't know about the situation in the court, and asked me to introduce him to the situation of the princes in the court first. After thinking about it, he asked me again, how many sons do you have, which son is the heir you identify, and which son you love the most. "The old butler has something to say, and he doesn't dare to hide anything.

He asked again, why are you doing this? What does this have to do with the succession, it is the royal succession, not my family's competition for favor. "The city lord has some squares.

"After I told him about it, he asked me to bring you a message. Say yes, if you ask me which prince I support, he will let me say this, and you will understand. ”

"What is coming quickly. Let me take a closer look. As soon as the city lord heard that it was a joke, he hurriedly urged.

"He said, my lord, since you are so good at cultivating an heir. How can you not see which prince to support, you are a fan of the authorities. ”

The lord of the castle paced back and forth, "What does this mean, and asked me about my attitude towards my son, and said that I am a fan of the authorities, what is he trying to say?"

"I also asked him to say a good thing, he had to play dumb riddles with you, and said that you realized that it was yours, and if you didn't, let him explain it clearly, then you would have to be blind. "The housekeeper is also anxious for the city lord.

"If there is anything else, let me know it at once. "The city lord is a little irritable.

"No, oh yes, he said that if you don't realize, simply resign so as not to lose your life. ”

"This is the truth, standing in the wrong line is the most fatal, he asked you what you said about the prince's situation, and I will repeat it in its original form, without missing a word. The city lord sat down and pointed to the butler.

The housekeeper started from the beginning again, and immediately said to the city lord what Shangguan Peng said, and after he finished speaking, the city lord was silent and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, the city lord slapped the table and stood up, "Prince." is such a powerful Shangguan Peng, he has understood the thoughts of the emperor and his father. ”

The housekeeper hurriedly came to the front, "What the lord means is that this time, the final winner is still the prince." ”

"Yes, the more I think about it, the more correct it is, it must be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The city lord couldn't stop with excitement.

"But the villain still can't understand why it's the crown prince, the other princes are far more favored than the prince, my lord. "The old butler's desire to learn is intense.

"He asked you, who will inherit the family business in our family, you said the boss, it is very correct, and you said that I spoil the fourth child, because the boss will be in charge of the family in the future, so he must be taught strictly, and he cannot be arrogant. As for the fourth child, I love this child, don't look at me and spoil him, but he will never become the heir, because he doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, because he has to be responsible for the family. ”

"Oh, the villain understands, the same is true of the royal family, the current emperor is not mediocre, so he must consider the dynasty, although the fourteenth prince and the seventeenth prince are favored, they have no ability, so it is impossible to become the heir, the nineteenth prince, he is famous. The old butler asked.

"Too young, and he is only loved by middle and lower-level officials, and the real power does not support him, he will be reused by the new emperor in the future, but he is the first one I excluded. ”

"I see, the Nine Emperors, the Second Prince, but I have an army of 700,000, and it is possible to ascend the throne by force with the power of the army. ”

"Once I identify the crown prince as the heir, I will figure out the matter of the Nine Emperor Princes, he must have made it clear to Jinshang early on that he has no intention of the throne, otherwise no emperor would dare to let his son control so many soldiers and horses, he should be the most powerful arm of the prince, and the prince's father-in-law is not to spy on the second prince, but to help each other. The greatest foreign aid to ensure the smooth accession of the crown prince to the throne. The more the city lord talked, the more excited he became, and the more he talked, the more affirmative he became.

"That's right, that's it, the master's analysis is really reasonable. The old butler patted his ass excitedly.

"Shangguan Peng, it's really a talent, what he said is right, I realized it, it's mine, I not only understand who to support, but also understand a lot of things. The city lord said with emotion, "By the way, are there any changes in the gangs that have defected to the prince today?" ”
