Chapter 91: Brothers, Friends and Brothers (Part 1)
The two old men in python robe have a unique status. Although Murong Sheng only named him in the Privy Council, as the head of the most prosperous saint's family today, he plays an important role in the world's high names.
After Qi Ding, the position of Prime Minister of the Southern Army was suspended for more than ten years. It is rumored that when Zi ascended the throne, he wanted to win over the clans to consolidate his power, the head of the Murong family, who had made great efforts in the westward expedition, to quell the rebellion, and even Qi Ding's case, took this position. Murong Sheng's reputation was unparalleled, but unexpectedly he said he was sick and stayed silent, and gradually faded out of the eyes of the court and the public.
After that, as the emperor hid needles in a series of cotton, silent means of moistening things were used one after another. When the families of all over the world came to their senses, their lives were already much sadder without realizing them. Only the Murong family, who had retreated bravely, remained prosperous.
"Those who are quick to live will die quickly, and those who are good at hiding can survive."
This sentence was recorded in "Saint Chapter". The ancestral teachings, which were regarded as the norm by Murong, were immediately found out from the old paper pile and repeatedly pondered them. Then, compared with Qi Ding's affairs, we realized that the saint's family can be passed down to this day, and it really makes sense.
Everyone was tacit when they realized it, and the position of Prime Minister of the Southern Army was also the Prime Minister, the Grand Marshal of the Privy Council and the Prime Minister of the Northern Army were later abandoned in name only, and no one cared about it anymore.
As for Yu Da, as the deputy commander of the Western Expedition and the king of a different surname, his disciples and former subordinates were spread all over the world. Although he immediately fell down after being stripped of his title, he was also a fast-living person who would die quickly. Fortunately, he did not die completely.
As the helmsman behind the Qingzhou Navy, the Yu clan of Huaide Hou controlled the sea transportation trade in the East China Sea. Among them, the trade in iron-sinking weapons in the East China Sea and the sea salt trade in Qingzhou. The navy's only hand-took is huge benefits.
As the leading God of Wealth in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yu Da's military power was insignificant, but his influence was secretly spread across the Central Plains and the North. The emperor wanted to fight westward and responded to military supplies, but he could not avoid this old Marquis Huaide.
For these two old men who did not hold power on the surface, and may not even show their faces in the court for years or decades, many younger officials have only heard of their reputations, and they may never be able to deal with them in their lifetimes. At most, they are now looking at each other so far and close, which is enough to show off to later generations as a kind of qualification.
Everyone was respectful and fearful of Murong Sheng and Yu Da, and their qualifications were too far apart. Seeing that the two old men were very excited, everyone came forward to disturb him from beginning to end, and the two old men were also happy to be quiet and at ease.
In contrast, the scene where the prince, King Runan and King Lanling were gathered together, was even more eye-catching.
Similarly, no one came forward to get close to him. After all, there was such a murderous scene with swords and swords, no one could get caught up with blood.
Today, Zi's appearance is very magnificent, especially his facial features are deep, and even in rumors, he was said to be a tiger or wolf. The appearances of the three brothers are somewhat similar, and they all have the shadow of the emperor.
Among them, the lines on the face of the King of Lanling Ji Tianxing are the toughest, with the corners of his eyebrows, eyes, and mouth as if they were cut, which looked bright and angular, and firm and decisive.
As he made military achievements in Yunzhou and returned to Beijing to report his duties with great glory, the government and the country paid more attention to the seventh prince.
The so-called gods who had originally arrived in the world, and the saying of Ying Tianxing was more well known. In private, a rumor spread gradually, saying that there was an old eunuch in the palace who had lived for unknown lengths. Before he died, he leaked the words to his children and grandchildren who had been adopted by him. He said that when King Lanling was born, the emperor held him in his arms and looked at him for a long time, and finally said: "This is my subtype."
Anyone with a discerning eye naturally knows that this statement is probably forged by Lanling's party members. It is either the prince or a prince who wants to fight for the throne and acts the opposite way, intending to use this to arouse the emperor's disgust and eliminate the holy family of Lanling.
But no matter what the truth is, anyone has to admit it. Just looking at the appearance, Lanling King Ji Tianxing is indeed the closest to the emperor.
The opposite is true for King Ji Tianyang of Runan, with handsome facial features, soft lines, and a slightly sinister temperament.
He wore a black jade python robe and hung a Langya sword on his waist. This divine sword was given by King Zhending and was also the origin of his original title of Prince Langya. The emperor specially allowed him to bring a sword to the hall.
It is known to everyone that His Highness Runan is good at civil governance and can lead troops to quell the chaos. As for the statement that some censors spare no effort, the so-called "The king was in the third year of the vassal state, and the county was in great control, without famine inside, and there were no thieves outside, and the soldiers and civilians at the top and bottom were called the wise king"...
Even if this sentence is quoted in the emperor's edict that the Prince of Langya was named Runan, no one would foolishly believe it. This is just like the rumors of the gods and men of His Highness Lanling. It depends on whether the emperor is willing to believe it, and no one will dig into the roots and care about its authenticity. Of course, no matter which prince loses his favor, it will naturally be a different matter when everyone takes the blame.
There is one thing that is a consensus about the King of Runan. The royal family and the princes of the temple watched the prince with a humble background for many years. Most of them believed that their appearance was born from the heart, with a scheming and gentle temperament. They often prefer to plan quietly and then move, paying attention to step by step, and not very much like to break the deadlock with a drastic and decisive attitude.
In this regard, it is somewhat similar to today's current situation.
The prince Ji Tiancheng, who is in the middle, wore a long-distance crown and apricot yellow five-clawed and four-dragon-patterned satin robe. Does he look and feel a bit mean between King Runan and King Lanling. As the oldest person in the Ji family's legitimate lineage, he has a beard, which looks more majestic and steady than his two younger brothers.
He withdrew his gaze from the Qinglong Golden Dog with expressionless expression, glanced at the two younger brothers beside him, and realized that there were seven kings in his vein, and only three of them stood here today, so he could tell that the father's mind was not concerned.
He first said, "Even if the father had already released the news first, some important things have sent secret envoys to the county and state. The royal kings, especially the Zhending, Hejian, Zhongshan, and several uncles, seemed to have made an appointment, not even one who went to the capital in person. The father will be angry later, so the third brother and the seventh brother should be alert."
King Ji Tianyang of Runan first glanced at the face of the prince, thinking that Lingshan seemed to be glorious this time, but in fact he returned without success. In addition, the father must be extremely disgusted. Therefore, today's incident is probably a big blow to the prince who has received support from the Taoist sect. But I don't know what the feeling of this crown prince, who is already extremely unstable at this moment?
Ji Tianyang had all kinds of thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't tell at all.
He gently stroked the hilt of the Langya Sword and whispered: "My harp is also known as the divine sword, but it is really incomparable to the one in the sky just now."
What he said seemed to have nothing to do with the prince's warning, and then suddenly changed the subject and said, "Although the other kings of the Ji family are also royal titles, they are not the same as our seven masters."
Ji Tianyang stopped here and then said softly: "Fortunately, the prince of the Uncle Zhending, who died early, would be much easier this time. As for Hejian, Zhongshan, and the two uncles who were also appointed as princes, they wanted to keep the King's ancestral temple. If they didn't get any more blood, how could they be willing to come to the door to cut the flesh of the father?"
Lanling King Ji Tianxing also shook his head: "The Ji family suppressed the other Zhoutian clans, the legitimate lineage suppressed the common people, the aristocratic families suppressed the poor, the poor families suppressed the common people. This has been the case since ancient times. There is no fairness or unfairness, and the strong will win. In my opinion, the kings will not know this truth. It is unwise to do this. Since the fact that the head is stretched and the head is shrunk, why do you have to give the father a ugliness? In the end, when the board falls, they are still the ones who look ugly on their faces."
Ji Tianyang turned his head and looked at Ji Tianxing, and smiled and said, "Seventh brother went out to practice, but he has grown more and more. I heard that the Twelve Dharmas have come to Beijing, and the Seventh brother went there in person? Listen to the advice of the third brother, the third brother, and he has seen many Buddhist demons pretending to be gods and ghosts in Ruzhou. After all, they are fooling the common people and cannot be put on the table."
He pointed to the sky: "No matter how godly it is, it's strange, can you surpass that person?"
