"Little nephew, I have already set up a wine banquet, so I will stay in the house and eat lunch. ”

"No need, uncle, Linglong is still waiting for her nephew at the inn. ”

"In that case, it's not good to force you to stay, I'll send you out. ”

"You don't have to work hard, the little nephew can go by himself. Without waiting for Murong Baishi to stand up, Tuoba Lie left first, pushed the door out, and the subordinates standing outside the door saw that the master appeared safely, and they were elated one by one, Tuoba Lie didn't say a word to them, and walked straight forward. Returning along the original road, the six war horses were pulled by a special person, waiting outside the door, after Tuoba Lie got on the horse, he took a deep look at the high wall of Murong Mansion, and shook the reins: "Drive, drive!"

When he left, he had his own subordinates report to Murong Baishi. The latter stretched out his hand to the shadow behind him, and the shadow intertwined with the corner of the wall stretched outward, taking the form of a human being, and fell to one knee at the mercy of the dispatch.

"Prepare a letter for me to my sister. Murong Baishi played with the porcelain cup in his hand and said disdainfully: "The content of the letter is that Tubaozi Tuoba Lie took the initiative to show goodwill, and the alarm was temporarily lifted, so my sister can rest assured." ”

"No!" the black-clothed figure gradually thinned and returned to the shadow, as if it had never appeared.

......

Tuoba Lie rode back to the inn, passed through the noisy corridor, did not go to his own room, when he first arrived at the room where Shen Fei lived, "knock knock" on the door, the wooden door opened from the inside, he stepped in, leaving Chief Manager Yue and five guards to guard the door.

The room was bright, the sunny windows were open, and Shen Fei sat on the wooden chair under the window, his face resolutely exposed to the sight, and his gaze was condensed. It was the maid Lan'er who opened the door for him, Nalan Ruoxue dragged Yue'er out shopping early in the morning, and Lan'er stayed behind to serve Shen Fei.

Tuoba Lie entered the door, Lan'er led him to sit at the coffee table, and made tea for him with the hot water that had just been boiled, and after the tea was made, he turned around and went out of the house, and by the way, he led the chief manager Yue and a group of guards who were guarding the door away from the door. Everything seems to have been arranged a long time ago, from Shen Fei's arrangement!

Tuoba Lie trusted Shen Fei even more, took a sip of tea, closed his breath, saw that Shen Fei was always looking out of the window, and urged: "Shen Daozun, there are some things I want to discuss with you, do you want to close the window first?"

"The view outside the window is pleasant, and I can't bear to close it. "The inn where Shen Fei lives is the most luxurious inn in Jinling City, which is not only reflected in the many floors and the grandeur of the decoration, but also in the excellent geographical location. Located on the west side of the banks of the Fairy River, this inn opens the window to see the sparkling water, the boats sailing on the water, and the maidens plapping their clothes on the riverbank. Coupled with the spring-like weather in Jinling, it is like a paradise.

Shen Fei's eyes fell on a girl who was doing laundry, this person was wearing a simple coat, his long hair was simply tied behind his head by a red rope, his trouser legs were rolled twice, probably for fear of being splashed by water, his bare feet were stepping on slippers, and although his nails were not specially modified, they were cleaned up very cleanly, white, and there was no dirt at all. While washing the family's clothes and pants, the family girl had a happy smile on her face.

"Although life is harder, it is simple, and there are no troubles to accompany it, and this kind of life is actually quite good. Shen Fei finally closed the window, retracted his gaze, and turned to look at Tuoba Lie, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you're back!"

Tuoba Lie stood up on the spot, walked two steps to Shen Fei's side, and sat down in the seat next to him, "Everything is as Daozun expected, Murong Baishi is very happy with my initiative to show goodwill, and promised to send someone to send a waist card tomorrow." ”

"Our goal was to get his waist card, and since he agreed, the goal was achieved. Tomorrow Murong Baishi's subordinates will come over, and His Royal Highness the prince must dislike him in all kinds of ways, and the more disrespectful he is, the better. ”

"Shen Daozun, don't the people sent by Murong Baishi to spy on me need to be respected?

"His Royal Highness the Prince met with Murong Baishi, what do you think of this person?"

"Pampered, arrogant and arrogant, treating human life like a mustard!"

"What about the next person?"

"Treat it as a cow or a horse, no, it's not as good as a cow or a horse!"

"Then does Your Highness know what is the best way to get close to people?"

"This ...... Do what you like?"

"The so-called things gather by like, people by groups, two similar people are the easiest to get close. ”

"But tomorrow is coming, after all, it is Murong Baishi's subordinates who came to monitor us, so if you deal with it like this, won't he say bad things about us in front of Murong Baishi. ”

"Then let me ask His Royal Highness the Prince, how is Murong Baishi's power in Jinling City?"

Thinking of the ten-meter-high city wall of Murong House, the magnificent interior decoration, the beautiful maids shuttling back and forth, and the fierce city guards, Tuoba Lie replied: "Murong Baishi's hands and eyes are up to the sky, and his power in Jinling City is not small. ”

"Yes, the four major families of Jinling have been in collusion, and the people have been in trouble for a long time, and they are all wealthy, monopolizing Jinling's people, strength, materials, and wealth for many years. It's easy for him to spy on you, and it doesn't matter if someone is there or not. ”

Tuoba Lie lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, and said, "That makes sense." ”

This is also the reason why Shen encouraged His Highness to take the initiative to show favor to him and took the initiative to ask him to send someone to monitor your investigation before approaching. Anyway, no matter what, you can't escape the fate of being watched, so why not just take the initiative and put the people who spy on you in sight. ”

"I see. ”

"By analogy, since Murong Baishi can know your true state through the eyeliner placed around you no matter what. In this case, being a little harsh to your subordinates will make Murong Baishi think that you are the same kind of person as him, and thus have a certain degree of favor towards Your Highness. ”

Shen Daozun is far-sighted and admirable. ”

"It's just a matter of thinking more, whether it can be done depends on your Highness. ”

"Then Shen Daozun, what should this king do next, do you need to visit the four major families of Jinling in turn. ”

"No need! The four major families have been rooted in Jinling City for a long time, and they are monolithic, among which only the Murong family is from the royal family and has the noble status of a relative. If you want to return to the dynasty to join the war for the succession of Kowloon, the only opponent you need to pay attention to is the clansmen who are also members of the royal family, as for the others, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to turn the sky. ”

"According to Shen Daozun's meaning, I want to curry favor with Murong Baishi and alienate others?"

"At the beginning, I had to do this, so that Murong Baishi could see His Royal Highness's arrogance as a prince. Shen Fei saw that Tuoba Lie was still puzzled, and continued, "Your Highness, the Red Mansion and the Qianqian girl you want to investigate are both the property of Linghu Xuanzhou's name, and they will offend him no matter what, but there is a difference in the degree of toughness. ”

"In this case, will Linghu Xuanzhou send someone to deal with me?"

"Only other princes dare to attack the prince, Ling Hu Hangzhou can sit in his current position, relying not only on ferocity, but also on cleverness and calculation, a third prince has died on his ground, do you think he still dares to be kind to you." ”

"Indeed, what Shen Daozun said is extremely true. ”

"The top priority now is to let Murong Baishi completely let down his guard against you, and then use Qianqian as a breakthrough to stir up the stagnant water of Jinling. It doesn't matter who killed the three princes, what His Majesty cares about is closing the case, a result, so that he can give him and the dignity of the royal family a complete answer; ”

"Use this to bring down Big Brother?"

"On the contrary, what you have to do is to use this incident to strike at the Ten Princes, so that you can be fair and just, and the impression that you are not moved by family affection will penetrate into the hearts of the imperial power. ”

"You want me to beat your own brother?"

"If His Royal Highness wants to compete in the world, he should not regard the Great Prince as an opponent, because that person is weakening day by day, and it is the Ten Princes who really need to deal with it. This incident can clearly see the imbalance between the strength of the Great Prince and the Ten Princes. Openly killing the third prince and blaming the eldest prince on the land dominated by Murong Baishi, I am afraid that your brother's power should not be underestimated. His Majesty the Emperor is so smart how can he not see this, what he wants is to fight with the snipe and the clam and the fisherman to profit, if the power of the Ten Princes is too strong, it will undoubtedly threaten the imperial power, so His Majesty the Emperor is actually using this matter to test you, if you and the Ten Princes are of the same mind, he will take action against the faction of the concubine Niangniang, I am afraid that it will be suppressed to the end at one time, and there will be no day to turn over. But if you and the Ten Princes are not of the same mind, His Majesty the Emperor will push the boat with the current, and then push one side of the force to come out, and fight against the challenge of the Ten Princes with the Great Prince, and you will become the force valued by His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Listening to your words, it is better to read a book for ten years, what Shen Daozun thinks and thinks, it is really far beyond the vision of this king. ”

"It's just a bystander, His Royal Highness just need to remember one thing - no matter what, don't stand on the same side as the Ten Princes, you can be reused by your father, just remember this. ”

"The king understands. ”

......

On the other side, in the Imperial Capital Guangming Palace, the old emperor Tuoba Gui sat on the imposing dragon chair, looking sick, and another person had a deeply buried face, a special costume, kneeling down with His Highness to report to him.

After His Highness's report was completely over, the old emperor let out a faint breath and said, "So, after Lie'er entered the city, he first met the Taoist priest who came down from Shu Mountain to preach, and then went to meet Murong Baishi. ”

"Long live Qiyu, it's like this, the behavior of Prince Lie is really eye-catching. ”

"I really didn't expect Lie'er to go to see Murong Baishi, it's interesting, but I don't know if his trip is sincere or fake. ”

"According to Wei Chen's opinion, His Royal Highness the Prince is far-sighted, but he is afraid that his heart is not small. ”

"Even the Taoist people who oppose Buddhism are willing to accept it, and his ambition is indeed not small. ”

"The two princes born to the concubine are really more special than the other. ”

"Hehe, that woman!" Speaking of the concubine Niangniang, His Majesty the Emperor's withered face changed significantly, and a complicated expression appeared on his face, as if he loved and hated that person, "Zhen'er and Lie'er, in terms of ability alone, the two children born by that woman are indeed outstanding, far above the other princes, but the ambition is too big, in order to deal with Yuanji, who is supported by Buddhism, he looks for all the forces that can be used regardless of good or bad, which may not be a good thing for the empire." ”

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" His Highness refused to raise his head, but it seemed that the situation was more trusted by His Majesty the Emperor than that of the Prime Minister of the Dynasty, and he was able to say some private words with His Majesty the Emperor.

"Keep Zhen'er and Lie'er under good surveillance, and report any changes to me in a timely manner, especially the correspondence between the two, even if you use stolen ones, you have to figure out the contents. ”

"Your Majesty, if you make too much noise, you may be noticed by them. ”

"What can they do if they perceive it, I am the saint today, what can they do! San'er is dead, and they still dare to seek to usurp the throne. "His Majesty the Emperor became more and more excited, and in the end he even coughed, and this cough was endless, his face was red, so that His Highness's people did not dare to come out, and it took a long time to calm down, but the breath was still uneven, long and short, "cough cough cough, in short, keep an eye on them, those two rebels, even if they want to usurp the throne, after I die, if they are embarrassed by each other, if there is any misconduct, there will be no forgiveness!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is the Ninety-Five Supreme, and his longevity is boundless. ”

"Hehe, how long can I live, I know best in my heart, you go down, let me be quiet. ”

Wechen took his leave. ”

"Wait!"

"What else does Your Majesty command? ”

"Spread the net a little, and monitor all the princes, the two prime ministers, and even the imperial general Wang in the imperial capital, and if there is any behavior of forming a party for personal gain, and having close contacts, report to me immediately. ”

"Wechen obeyed. ”

"Let's go down. ”

When His Highness's people walked out of the Hall of Light without turning around, the old emperor Tuoba Gui stepped down from the throne, walked directly below the plaque of the Hall of Light, and embraced the sky with open arms, as if crazy: "This world is my world, and this dragon seat is my dragon throne." No one is allowed to touch it, absolutely not, even if it is my own son, if he dares to have a bad heart, he will be killed!"

On the lonely and silent temple, the man who has been obsessed with power all his life screams wildly, like a demon, like a ghost, even worse than a demon and a ghost!

Tuoba Gui's life can be called legendary, from the military when he was young, to returning to the imperial capital to become a hostage of the old emperor to threaten his father, and to helping Sima Yan ascend the throne, becoming the object of the previous emperor's dependence, and then instigating Sima Yan to slaughter the Sima royal family, and finally succeeded in rebelling, he came step by step, there are some luck components, but compared with luck, strong strength and thirst for power are the foundation of success, in his eyes, it is absolutely impossible to rub into the sand.
