In the Mingyi Hall of Prince Wei's Mansion, Tang Jiusheng and Qi Siyuan had a long talk and were very happy.

Tang Jiusheng asked how to quell the banditry in Jiannan Road. Qi Siyuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to quell the banditry. The so-called bandits are just people who were forced to rebel. Deep down in their hearts, most bandits actually want to be good, but

Firstly, there is no way out, and secondly, they are afraid that the government will settle accounts in the future. So they just wait and see, as long as the prince recruits them on behalf of the court, they will have peace of mind and will not be afraid!"

Qi Siyuan stretched out three fingers, "Now the prince has more than a thousand soldiers, and he only needs to allocate three hundred. We don't have any soldiers, but the local county magistrate does! Let's borrow some from the county magistrate first, and one

If the copycats are leveled one by one, they can recruit bandits, turn the bandits into soldiers, and collect some money and food, why not do it? With the previous copycats as examples, you won’t have to worry about the copycats that follow not following suit!"

Tang Jiu Sheng was overjoyed and immediately asked people to serve wine. He also asked people to invite Fatty, Shui Rulong and others. They all sat around, drank and chatted. They left happily that night.

The next morning, as soon as Tang Jiusheng got out of bed, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and the butler Wei Quan stood outside the door and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the old Imperial Master has brought thirty followers from Tianchang City.

Came here for a visit! Just coming in from outside the house!"

When Tang Jiusheng heard that his father was coming, he was overjoyed and said loudly: "Please invite the old man to sit in the living room! Inform the princesses that I will come to see the old man after I get dressed and wash up!" Wei Quan agreed and went out to fetch Tang Fulong.

In Chang Lexuan's living room, the maid came up to pour tea for Tang Fulong and placed the fruit plate. Tang Jiu Sheng hurriedly washed up and came to see his father. The whole back house already knew that the old man was here.

Shui Ruyue brought Ximen Yushuang, Du Ruo and Xu Dongmei to greet her father-in-law. Tang Fulong met his son and many daughter-in-laws and greeted them with a smile. At this time, breakfast had been arranged in the kitchen and everyone was sitting around to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, Tang Fulong said he wanted to chat with his son alone, so Tang Jiusheng accompanied his father to the Yuezhu Lake in the back garden of the palace to sit and chat. Yuezhu Lake is half natural and half artificial, and the scenery is pleasant. There are green and yellow flowers tied on the edge of the lake.

Two red boats undulate with the waves in the water. In the distance, water birds swoop down to catch fish in the lake.

Tang Fulong sat on the lawn beside Yuezhu Lake with a smile, looking around at the scenery around the lake, and at the artificial island in the lake. Listening to the sound of the lake water lapping against the shore, he nodded and said: "Well, not bad, it deserves to be a palace, no less than a palace."

What's wrong with our National Preceptor's Office! Son, how is your body recovering? Has your memory recovered?"

Tang Jiusheng shook his head and said with some distress: "Dad, my body has recovered now, and my martial arts has returned to the second level. It's just that my memory is gone. I can't even remember you. If others don't say you are my father, I will

I didn’t even know you were my dad!”

Tang Fulong laughed non-stop, "It's okay, it's okay. Dad has calculated it before. You have a hundred days of trouble. It's been more than sixty days now, and it's almost over. Don't be anxious. Just wait until it's over! My son.

, how do you act as a prince? Are you majestic or not?"

Tang Jiusheng chuckled and said: "Dad, to be honest, being a prince is quite satisfying. You have fine clothes and fine food, you are surrounded by people, and all you see every day are smiling faces. Can you not be happy? I finally understand why those people are fighting for it.

It’s so satisfying to be an emperor and a prince, let alone an emperor!”

Tang Fulong picked up a flat stone, floated it on the lake, and sighed, "So dad is worried and wants to come over to see you. By the way, I also have a few words from my heart. Who made me your dad? You are

Where is my son? Right?"

Tang Jiu Sheng respectfully

Said: "Dad, please tell me, I'm listening!"

Tang Fulong looked at the lake, which covered more than thirty acres, and asked softly: "Son, your martial arts skills are still so-so now, but why did you become the prince? Do you know the reason?"

Tang Jiusheng thought for a while and replied seriously: "Father, with our Tang family's loyalty to the great merchants, with the reputation that our son has made in the world, with..."

Tang Fulong shook his head and turned to look at Tang Jiusheng, "Son, you are right, but you are also wrong. Think about it, if it is just based on loyalty to Dashang, wouldn't Guo Chong be loyal to Dashang? Jiang Yongchun is not loyal to Dashang.

Are you loyal? Is Gao Zhongliang not loyal? You are loyal, and there is someone more loyal to the emperor than you, who is willing to die for the emperor! But why did the emperor let you, Tang Jiusheng, become the king of Wei? "

When Tang Jiusheng heard what his father said, he was really confused. He shook his head and said that he didn't understand.

Tang Fulong sighed, "Son, in fact, the fate between our Tang family and the Yin family is coming to an end, and our Tang family's hereditary national preceptor is also coming to an end! Dad was first removed from the position of national preceptor and became a third-level protector of the country.

Master, you are no longer a third-grade Protector of the Country. It is just a matter for Master Quan. To compensate, I made you the King of Wei. From the looks of it, our Tang family is not at a loss!"

Tang Fulong looked at the rockery in the lake and seemed to be worried. After a while, he said: "My position as national advisor will probably not be returned to me. Even if it is returned to me, it will only represent a symbol of honor at most and will not have real power."

. And Prince Wei will most likely not be hereditary, so the next generation will be the county prince, and the next generation will be the prince, and the power will soon be diluted. "

Tang Jiusheng was startled, "Dad, the emperor is starting to doubt our Tang family?"

Tang Fulong smiled and walked to the blue boat on the shore. "Doubt or not is the second best thing. Why can the Tang family be the hereditary imperial master in Dashang for three hundred years? Our dragon energy to protect the Yin family is only one of them, and more importantly

The important thing is that the Tang family has no soldiers and cannot rebel. Otherwise, if the Tang family protects the dragon spirit and has heavy troops, wouldn't it be a disaster for the royal family? Although the current emperor looks cowardly on the surface, he has great ambitions!

"

Tang Jiusheng was very confused and followed his father on the boat. A servant was rocking the boat towards the island in the lake. Tang Jiusheng looked at his father and was silent for a long time. Tang Fulong chuckled, "Son, you must be thinking, in this case

, why would you give me the title of King of the Guard and let you hold a heavy army, right?" Tang Jiusheng nodded, he was really puzzled by this.

Tang Fulong chuckled and said: "That's because these princes surnamed Yin are making too much trouble now. The emperor wants to make a gesture to show them. Since Tang Jiu Sheng, who has a different surname, can be crowned king, others will also have the opportunity, not to mention

What about the one with the surname Yin? In comparison, who is more suitable than the Tang family? He has been a national teacher for many years and is loyal and loyal. He can be used to suppress rebellions, and he is confident enough to weaken the power of the Tang family!"

Tang Jiusheng suddenly laughed, "Dad, isn't he afraid that I will fall to Yin Quan's team?"

Tang Fulong looked at the lake and laughed and said: "First, the Tang family is loyal to the great merchants, and it is unlikely that they will defect. Second, even if the Tang family defectes, so what? In the hands of Yin Quan, the world will still be named Yin.

Are you sure that you have surrendered to Yin Quan, and Yin Quan will not touch you after he ascends the throne? And judging from your previous actions, you are not a rebel. Even if you want to rebel, your people will follow you? What do they want? You

Do you think Fatty Jiang, Gao Chongyang and others will follow you to rebel? Or Guo Chong, Gao Zhongliang will follow your father to rebel?"

Tang Jiusheng looked shocked and remained silent.

Tang Fu

Long laughed again and said: "Our Emperor is both respectable and terrifying. He is not worried about losing his own empire. As long as he can preserve the Yin family's empire, he is willing to sacrifice himself. He is willing to worship an eunuch as a minister.

Father, when it was clear that he could take back power, he continued to choose to bear the humiliation and show weakness to Yang Jingzhong, to the world, and to his opponents, just to seek a comeback!"

Tang Fulong walked to the middle of the boat, sat on a chair, turned around and said with a smile: "Son, the reason why you became the prince is not because of how capable you, Tang Jiusheng, are. There are many more capable people than you! It's just because of you.

You were born in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, and Yin Quan and others just wanted to rebel, so you just took advantage of this opportunity. It's like a storm, you are just standing on the storm, in fact, even pigs can fly to the sky in the storm!"

Tang Jiusheng hesitated to speak, walked to his father and sat down.

Tang Fulong patted Tang Jiusheng on the shoulder, "Son, think about it carefully. If you were born in the Xu family and Xu Dongmei was your sister, you would now be Xu Dalong. What would happen if you had great abilities? It's nothing more than fishing on the river.

Catch more fish, earn more money, and become a fishing tyrant, that's all!" After Tang Fulong finished speaking, he looked at his son and smiled silently.

Tang Jiusheng suddenly understood, "Dad, what else do you want to say? Just say it all at once!"

Tang Fulong laughed loudly, "Son, what dad wants to say is, don't get carried away, don't think you are great, it's just that you have caught up at this time! Others are not convinced, and their faces may not show it. Of course, these princes named Yin

Dare, because their surname is Yin, they dare to openly send assassins to kill you, but the ministers will generally not show their dissatisfaction, but they will think in their hearts, why can you, with your surname Tang, be the prince? "

Tang Jiusheng nodded and bowed to his father, "Dad, thank you for reminding me that in the future I will keep a low profile, walk on thin ice, and try not to let others get caught! But our Tang family will decline from now on?

"

Tang Fulong laughed and stood up, "When the moon is full, it loses, and when the water is full, it leaks. There is no country that can last for thousands of years. Everyone sitting on the dragon chair wants to live long, but who can live long? It is not easy to live to be a hundred years old! What's more!

Our little Imperial Preceptor's Office? According to the previous hexagrams, the Tang family's Imperial Preceptor will end in my generation. I also calculated that I can give birth to a noble son. I thought I could change my destiny against the will of heaven and continue the glory of the Tang family.

Later I realized that it was still in vain, so I stopped struggling and let everything take its course!"

Tang Jiusheng looked at his father, who suddenly had a few gray hairs, and had mixed feelings. He was afraid that he would drift away, so he poured a ladle of cold water on himself at the critical moment to wake himself up.

Tang Fulong smiled and said: "When I led five hundred cavalry horses to the Lingnan Prince's Mansion, I was actually showing my attitude. I, Tang Fulong, am loyal to Dashang, but don't push me too hard. My son is also my treasure. Don't bully him."

Even if you bully me, Tang Fulong, I will cherish this family affection, even if I lose the position of national master, even if the king of Lingnan is surnamed Yin, the same cannot be done! The emperor understands, so he

My third-grade Protector of the Country is also exempted, allowing me to take charge of the affairs of the National Preceptor, and at the same time continue to consolidate the power of your King Wei, in return, to appease me."

Tang Jiusheng said to himself: "It's so complicated! It's better to be in the Jianghu. Whoever has the bigger fist is the boss!"

Tang Fulong laughed loudly, "Boy, the court is another river and lake, and the river and lake is another court. The river and lake have grudges and resentments just like the court, and everything revolves around interests. Who can bring benefits to everyone, who
