Lin Xi took a big breath and rolled her eyes aimlessly for a long time before finally coming back to her senses. She took a step forward, took Rong He's hand, and begged: "Mr. Zhuo Bai, what do you mean?"
It means that my father has long known that the Yun family has this intention, so he has always... always... always... towards the Yun family in these years." He had scruples, and he really didn't know how to describe it.
He didn't know how to describe it, but Rong He had no scruples and said expressionlessly: "It's always hot on the outside and cold on the inside, it seems like a close relationship but is actually taboo!"
Lin Xi took several deep breaths and finally calmed down a lot. She said in a deep voice: "In other words, my father's attitude...is that he is not happy to see Xiao Wang and the Yun family getting involved together?"
"Does the prince still have any doubts about this?" Rong He asked calmly.
"But..." Lin Xi frowned: "How did the Zhou family make my father angry? Are they also deliberately raising thieves in Xixia?"
"That's not true." Rong He smiled slightly: "The problems of the Zhou family are much simpler than those of the Yun family. However, the Zhou family still has three major problems that cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction."
"Please give me advice, sir!"
Rong He stretched out his fingers and said one by one: "First, the military strength is quite strong. The Zhou family is second only to the Yun family in the four major border towns, with 150,000 elites in the pass; second, the Zhou family controls Hangu Xiongguan in the east.
It is too close to Luoyang. If any dissent arises, it will be easier to send troops from Hangu Pass to Luoyang than the Yun family's army going south. The Yun family is still separated by a big river. Third, Zhou Ye's character is bad. He just became the head of the family.
, his status in the family was unstable, and he asked for His Majesty's support in a very low profile. His Majesty gathered the power of the country and supported Zhou Ye to defeat Xixia... As a result, Zhou Ye had just settled the opposition in the family, and immediately began to defy His Majesty, and then
It even went so far as to ridicule the incompetence of the Beijing army many times. It can be seen that he may appear to be righteous, but in fact he is ungrateful, arrogant and domineering. How can a person like this win the heart of His Majesty?"
Lin Xi sighed: "Sir, I am really my crouching dragon! Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading!... But sir, now that Xiao Wang has joined forces with the Yun family, if he suddenly stops at this time, it may not be the behavior of a gentleman... Furthermore,
After all, the Yunchen family is extremely powerful. If Xiao Wang withdraws now, I'm afraid that one day...if after quitting, my father fails to give him the holy favor alone, then Xiao Wang will really be doomed."
Rong He laughed, nodded and said: "It's a good thing that the prince can think like this. If the prince suddenly breaks up with the Yun family at this time, it would be an inferiority and a complete fool's behavior."
"What do you mean by this, sir...?" Lin Xi was a little surprised.
Rong He picked up the tea first, took a sip, and then said: "The Yun family and the Shen family have been cooperating for many years, and they are already like grasshoppers on a rope. Since the Yun family has boarded the prince's boat, the Shen family must sooner or later also
However, if the prince suddenly kicks the Yun family off the boat, not only the Yun family will be angry, but the Shen family will also be furious. If the Yun and Shen families join forces to resolutely oppose the prince, even if His Majesty intends to defend it,
It's a very troublesome matter. If His Majesty shows any signs of wavering, the people in the court who are on the fence will definitely add insult to injury. By then... Your Majesty will be in danger!"
He did not explain who those "fools in the court" were, because Lin Xi must have understood that he was talking about those officials from poor families who acted based on the emperor's face. As for why they would be troubled just because "His Majesty was slightly wavering"
, Lin Xi also knows very well that this is very simple. As long as a prince cannot ascend to the throne, even if he is granted the title of king, it is nothing. But the Yun family and the Shen family are different. These two hereditary and irreplaceable princes
One family has 200,000 powerful soldiers. Not only are they highly skilled in martial arts, but they also have hundreds of generals who are well-versed in the art of war. Their subordinate Yan Yunqi is known as the sharpest in the world; while the other family has two hundred years of Dexin, and has disciples all over the world.
Civil servant leaders and a large number of disciples in the court are running around to build momentum for it. It is more serious to offend a short-term prince or to offend two top families. As long as the thing growing on their necks is not a pig's brain, anyone can tell the difference.
Lin Xi also felt that her throat was dry, but she was afraid that the personal guard behind her would think that she was seeing off a guest, so she did not dare to pick up the teacup and drink. She had to endure the heat in her throat and asked in a harsh voice: "Such two things.
I'm in a dilemma, but what should I do? Sir... Sir, do you have any good ideas?"
Rong He looked at Lin Xi, then closed his eyes to think. Lin Xi didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to wait impatiently. Finally, he saw Rong He open his eyes and asked hurriedly: "Sir... what's the plan?"
Rong He did not answer Lin Xi's question directly, but asked: "I wonder if the prince has ever thought about what it takes to ascend to that great position?"
"This...?" Lin Xi was stunned for a moment. This was something he had never considered directly, so he could only think about it and replied: "It must be nothing more than being polite and virtuous, caring for the people like children, benevolent and righteous..."
"Your Majesty!" Rong He interrupted him for the first time before he could finish his words. "These seemingly important things are actually insignificant. If you want to ascend to the throne, even if they are related to these things, they will not be related."
Where to go!”
Lin Xi opened his mouth without any pretense. This was the quality he cared about most in the Confucian education he had received since childhood, but it didn't matter. He forced himself to endure his surprise and asked, "If it's not these, what should it be?"
Rong He Zhizhu chuckled softly and said: "What the prince said, in a nutshell, is the word 'virtuous name', but in fact, this virtuous name is just like the girl who is given as a dowry when a wealthy family marries a daughter.
My uncle seems happy to have her, but if he doesn't, it doesn't really matter, after all, he is marrying a lady, not a girl!"
Lin Xi was stunned and didn't understand. Why was this analogy so strange?
When Rong He saw it, he naturally understood what Lin Xi was thinking and smiled slightly: "It seems that the prince has not figured out who is the lady and who is the girl."
Although Lin Xi was puzzled, one advantage he had was that he knew how talented Mr. Rong He was. So since he had doubts, he probably didn’t understand them, so he quickly said sincerely: “Please, sir.
Clear up the confusion!”
Rong He nodded, very satisfied with Lin Xi's low-profile performance, and said: "Actually, there are only two things related to you." He glanced at Lin Xi, tapped on the table with his fingers, and said in a deep voice
: "Holy favor and strength!"
Lin Xi was a little stunned. He was about to continue asking for advice, but this time Rong He did not appeal to him. He had already continued to explain: "The holy family is a good explanation. No matter which prince wants to ascend to the throne, he must have a few."
His Majesty's favor... Moreover, in fact, as long as His Majesty favors him, other things are not important. The crown prince is related to the world, yes! But in the end, this world is still your Majesty's world! So as long as your Majesty likes it, this throne is already inseparable.
! A good reputation is good, but princes, if you look at the past dynasties, there have been many princes with good names! But in the end, the one who achieved great wealth...how much does it have to do with a good name? What is relevant is nothing more than being in favor with someone!
"
Now Lin Xi finally understood, with a look of enlightenment on his face. Rong He got excited and continued: "But there is one more thing that can affect the Holy Family, and that is strength! My lord, think about it, the former Emperor Taizong Li Shimin
Although he also has the Holy Family, Prince Yin Jiancheng is the eldest son of Zhengerba Sutra, and the Holy Family is no less than him. If he wants to ascend the throne, it will be difficult to ascend to heaven. But what will be the final result? After the Xuanwu Gate changes, it still relies on strength
After all, in the end, Gaozu can only make Shimin the prince... This is due to his strength."
Lin Xi frowned and said: "Isn't this why Xiao Wang is in charge of the Feng Wu Six Guards now?"
"Of course" Rong He nodded and said: "That's true, but the prince should know that there are thirty-six guards in the Beijing army, twelve of which are in Shandong. Let's not talk about him. Let's just say that there are two in Luoyang and Henan in the capital.
The Fourteen Guards are close to an army of 140,000 people, while the Fengwu Six Guards only have more than 30,000 people! And since these more than 30,000 people are in the hands of the prince, it is estimated that His Majesty will not let them in unless there is a serious accident.
More than 30,000 people in Luoyang cannot enter Luoyang, so what impact can they have on the throne?"
Lin Xi was confused. He said that he needed to have strength, and that the troops were too few and could not enter Luoyang. It was completely useless. He no longer knew what Rong He wanted to tell him, so he could only say: "Sir, can you explain it clearly at once?"
, so that Xiao Wang can’t even figure out what to do.”
Rong He was startled, then smiled and said: "Okay, then He will make a long story short, Your Majesty, if you want to have strength, you won't be able to practice much, because Your Majesty is watching from above, and His Majesty cannot tolerate you, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince or the Fourth Prince."
There is a situation where I or any other prince has developed the strength that can threaten Luoyang. Therefore, the strength that you can rely on, Your Majesty, in addition to the 30,000 phoenix dance guards in your hand, you must hold on to, and there are two other things: 1. Continue to win over with all your strength.
The Yun family, as long as the Yun family continues to stand on the side of the prince, then His Majesty will not dare to mess around easily; secondly, to secretly win over the generals of the Beijing army, you must be extremely careful about this matter, neither the upper-level generals nor the lower-level lieutenants can be spared, but there is one thing
Be careful, you have to win over separately, and you can’t let the people you win over know who else has voted for the prince, unless...unless it’s time to rely on them to take action, otherwise you have to hide it all the time."
Lin Xi thought for a while and said: "The little king understands how to win over the Beijing army, but as for the Yun family... didn't Mr. Cai just say that my father didn't like it? Why are we still trying our best to win over him?"
Rong He chuckled and said: "Your Majesty is not happy, just because he is afraid that the prince will be completely tied to the Yun family in order to seize the heir, thereby harming the interests of the royal family. As long as your majesty is resolved this concern, you can also make your majesty trust the prince."
Just using the Yun family, how could His Majesty not be happy? I'm afraid he will also greatly admire the prince!"
Lin Xi was overjoyed: "Then what should Xiao Wang do to achieve such an effect?"
Rong He laughed, approached Lin Xi, whispered a few words, and then smiled and said: "As long as this is the case, the holy family, the strength, and the prince can have both!"
Lin Xi stood up quickly, bowed respectfully to Rong He, and said solemnly: "If Xi succeeds in the future, it will be all thanks to Mr. Wang!"
