Standing in front of King Qi, Wen Xunpeng, who was reporting the matter, turned pale and trembled slightly, obviously afraid that King Qi would be angry with him in this situation.

But what should be said is still to be said.

"Your Royal Highness, this matter is not simple now, now the emperor is like this, I am afraid that he attaches great importance to Su Zi's nationality, he himself is the son of the prince, and now he is going to enter the clan again, and he has a lot of righteousness, and the emperor also chose a sect word for him, I am afraid that there will be many ministers in the court, and they will be biased towards him. ”

The words of the staff, how can King Qi not know?

He said coldly: "Father, I'm afraid I'm old and confused, I just demoted me and the people of the King of Shu before, and now I immediately pulled Su Zi up." ”

"Arrange it, let us have a copy of his ginseng, and we must not let him be naturalized safely, even if it is disgusting, I will disgust him. ”

King Qi slapped hard, and the staff on the side wanted to persuade him, but he didn't dare to speak out when King Qi was angry.

In fact, according to their ideas, in this case, it is clear that the emperor wants to let Su Ziji enter the market and reach a balance with the kings, which shows that the emperor has been vigilant against the two most powerful sons, the King of Qi and the King of Shu, and will have this countermeasure to check and balance.

Obviously, the emperor has been vigilant, and he insists on making trouble again at this time, doesn't this make the emperor even more suspicious and unhappy?

But whether the emperor was vigilant, or secondly, they persuaded the prince when he was angry, for fear that he would be attacked on the spot.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all look at their noses, noses, mouths, mouths, and hearts, and no one speaks.

Shu Wangfu

Like the Qi Palace, a meeting was also being held in the Shu Palace, where the news was received.

The staff of the King of Shu sat below, and the young prince sitting above was unfolding a secret letter in his hand, and let people pass it to the staff below to read it one by one, and when it came back, it was put on the candle and lit it, and it burned down little by little.

"I wonder how angry my brother will be when he learns this news?"

The King of Shu looked very easy-going and relaxed, thinking about what the King of Qi might look like at this time, he smiled dumbly.

The staff below looked at the King of Shu one by one, and they all felt strange, and they didn't know why the King of Shu was not angry, but with a hint of a smile.

Now in the court, although the camp of King Qi has indeed suffered repeated setbacks, it is not the Shu King Party that can get benefits.

On the body of the King of Shu, there is still dirty water that has been splashed and has not been washed, not to mention anything else, Luo Pei is still in the prison and has not been rescued.

No matter how you look at it, they are all the same as King Qi, they are all jealous and suppressed by the emperor.

Su Zizhi was urgently recalled, this is about to be officially naturalized, once naturalized, he is the son of the prince who is sure to be the prince, what if the prince is dead?

As the eldest son of the emperor, the crown prince and the only son of the prince who remained in the world and grew up, he was also recognized and naturalized, this kind of reputation advantage, isn't the prince worried?

Raising tigers is easy to cause trouble, and if this Su Ziji is allowed to develop like this, the harm will be even worse!

A staff member named Min Quyi, who already had a sparse beard, was worried about this, and almost tore off the few remaining beards just now, and at this time he couldn't bear it anymore, so he got up and boldly saluted the king of Shu above: "Your Highness, I don't know why you are so calm?"

"The last time the embankment burst, it was said that our people did it, which caused us a lot of trouble, and now the imperial court is still investigating, and His Majesty has demoted the people concerned, we have lost several people, if the charges are confirmed, I am afraid that the loss of people will be even more. ”

"And Su Zi's naturalization has made our situation even worse. ”

That's true.

The atmosphere in the court has been tense recently, the king of Qi was vigilant by the emperor, and the king of Shu, because of the collapse of the embankment in Shun'an Mansion, was questioned by the emperor in front of the ministers, although he did not say anything excessive, but it is easy to splash dirty water on his body, but it is difficult to shake it clean.

The incident of the embankment has long passed, and the person in charge at that time was indeed the person of the King of Shu, tracing back to the source, how to investigate, it is all related to the King of Shu, that is, the people of the King of Shu Party all know that they did not do this, but will the people outside believe it?

Unbelief is sin.

The most important thing is that maybe the emperor knows it in his heart, but the officialdom and public opinion can be very unfavorable to the king of Shu, and now there is no conviction or reprimand, but it is still under investigation, is the prince really not worried about this matter?

"Hmph!" was mentioned by the staff, and the King of Shu naturally showed a trace of coldness.

How could he not know about this?

And you don't have to think about who did it, eighty percent of it may be his good brother who did it!

This kind of framing thing, his brother is very familiar with it, everyone studied together in the palace when he was young, this good brother is short-tempered, but he can use this kind of conspiracy method, and he is never soft-hearted, and his heart is also black.

It's a pity that I have been vigilant for many years, but in the end I still fell into the trap and was cheated again.

But there is also a hint of luck, the people hidden around him have been mixed to the extent that they are trusted, if they were not exposed when they burst the embankment, and when it was critical, they would stab themselves more ruthlessly, then it would be a real pit!

His eyes fell on Min Quyi, who was asking questions below, and the King of Shu shook his head: "What do you know? Even if this happens, is it possible that my father will degrade me?"

King Shu's words not only shocked Min Quyi, but also the other staff members fell into contemplation.

In fact, the eyebrows and eyes of the king of Shu are very similar to the emperor when he was young, with two thick eyebrows, his eyes are like paint, he wears azure silk, he is young and handsome, and the descendants of the surname Ji are often good-looking, even if the children of the clan are mediocre-looking, most of them can have good facial features or delicate hair.

It just looks elegant, and the eyes are only picked, as if they are awe-inspiring and intimidating.

The King of Shu was actually not angry with this staff, and he also held his breath and took advantage of this opportunity to say it all.

He sneered: "The reason why my father wants to include my little nephew in this clan is not to suppress me and King Qi, hum!"

"This world is always our father and son, even if I kill someone, what can I do? Even if the embankment breaks, what can I do? I will always be the prince, as long as I don't order it directly, I have a reason to shirk it, and get rid of me, let King Qi become big alone?"

Just think about it, and you know it's impossible.

Why did the emperor rush to summon Su Zi to Beijing, not because he wanted to balance himself and the king of Qi?

Of course, because his father is already old, the old lion is worried that he will be ousted from power by the young lion, so he wants to let the young lion fight among himself so that he can sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

But even so, the prince and grandson are the princes and grandsons after all, unlike the Jinshi who can produce a batch of Jinshi every three years, he and the king of Qi, to say a self-deprecating word, is a waste of one less "scarce resources".

Use officials as chess pieces and abolish a few, the emperor will not feel distressed, but there are only three adult princes, his younger brother King Lu, in terms of power, is far inferior to himself and King Qi, and the adult emperor's grandson is also a Su Zi, one less, the situation will change, one more, the situation will also change, he doesn't believe that his father will let himself out of the game because of such a trivial matter.

When two tigers fight, there must be an injury, and the three-legged stand is the safest.
