Seeing the second brother's reaction in front of them, the faces of the fourth prince and the ninth prince showed disappointment and unwillingness almost at the same time.
Is this still the second brother they are familiar with? Why has it become like this now? It seems that he has given up.
And in their hearts, they are naturally unwilling to give up easily.
The three of them have been together since childhood. At that time, the second brother had a high fighting spirit and obviously wanted to conquer the world.
But just a few years after leaving the palace, things have changed.
"Second brother, have you forgotten your childhood? Is this still the same person you were back then?"
The fourth prince couldn't help it and directly reminded him.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you? How did it become like this? Why do I feel that you are trying to please Long Qi and Long Lin? Even now, the two of them are very powerful and influential in the court.
But we haven’t spent all these years in vain, have we?”
The Ninth Prince also spoke immediately, trying to change Long Yun's mind.
But the words of the two people did not cause much reaction in Long Yun's ears. Even their expressions did not change much. They still had the same deep expression and slightly heavy eyes as before.
"Do you think I've changed?"
Long Yun slowly raised his head and said with a slight smile.
"Second brother, don't you realize it yourself? How could these words of giving up come out of your mouth? Didn't we firmly believe that we wanted you to step onto the throne and then successfully step onto the supreme throne?"
"Second brother, I'm not telling you, you have indeed changed."
After hearing the two words, Long Yun immediately showed a wry smile.
"Fourth brother, ninth brother, it's not that I have changed. Before I left school, I really wanted to step onto the throne and become the future emperor. I thought about it before, but I still think about it now. I even dream about it."
When Long Yun said this, the fourth prince immediately spoke.
"Second brother, isn't this right? Since we think about it, we should continue to work in this direction instead of giving up, let alone bowing to the two of them. We still have time and can continue to fight for it.
"
"Second brother, I think what fourth brother said is reasonable."
The Ninth Prince glanced at his fourth brother and quickly spoke in agreement.
If the second brother loses his desire to compete, it will be impossible for the two of them. Among the three of them, the most capable person is Long Yun.
Eh...
Long Yun opened his mouth and sighed.
"You two brothers, we have been along the way. I have never hidden anything from you. I really want to, but now I feel that it won't work at all. This is not my problem, but everything has been different since I was born. Then
Long Qi is outstanding, we have seen it since we were young, and most of the court officials support him. The people behind him, but the Lei family, we simply cannot compare with."
"Although the Lei family is strong, we still have a chance." The fourth prince immediately spoke and continued to change his second brother's mind.
"What other opportunities are there?" Long Yun smiled.
"Second brother, my father is in good health now, and we still have a lot of time to prepare. Although Long Qi is strong, who can guarantee that he will win when he goes on an expedition? What if he loses? He will still be like now.
, is he deeply valued by the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty? I am afraid that even my father will not continue to value him so much."
In the opinion of the fourth prince, who can explain clearly the matter of this war.
What if we lose? Then isn’t this an opportunity?
Long Yun can naturally understand these words.
But in his heart, he didn't think so. He didn't want Long Qi to lose at all. He only hoped that Long Qi could win. If he lost, it would probably be a terrible disaster for the world and the court.
"Do you want Long Qi to lose?" Long Yun stared at the fourth prince.
"No, second brother, it's not that I hope he loses. I naturally hope he can win this battle. But when it comes to fighting, who can say that he will definitely win? For us, what can we change? Only
But if he loses, your chances of ascending to the throne will be greater."
"Second brother, what fourth brother said makes sense. If Long Qi wins, then I'm afraid no one can compete with him for the throne of emperor."
The Ninth Prince heard this and couldn't help but speak.
Long Yun was naturally very clear about the two people's intentions.
But in the years since he left the palace, he has already discovered that nothing is that simple, and one wrong step often leads to eternal disaster.
"Two younger brothers, I am still me and have not changed. It's just that when we were in school, our ideas were too simple. In the past few years in the official department, we have seen the ups and downs of things better than anyone else.
Clearly, nothing is as simple as you think. Is the throne more important? Or is the head more important? What do you think?"
After Long Yun finished his question, his eyes showed a hint of solemnity, and he turned around and walked directly towards the distance.
He is actually very confused now. There are some things that make him very confused and he doesn't have a definite clue.
Could it be that he was really afraid?
But for the sake of the throne, would he be afraid of dying? Then what is the reason why he is retreating now?
He couldn't figure it out either, so he could only think about it slowly in the future.
The fourth prince and the ninth prince looked at Long Yun's leaving figure and couldn't help but sigh again, and then looked at each other.
"Fourth brother, second brother seems to be scared, what should we do now?"
"What should I do? Do I know what to do? Who knows what he is thinking? He has done very well in the past few years in the Ministry of Personnel. He is deeply supported by all the officials in the Ministry of Personnel. Under such a great situation
, we should go further, but the second brother is so good, he doesn’t advance but retreats, it’s like his brain is in trouble.”
The fourth prince couldn't help it and cursed angrily.
After hearing this, the Ninth Prince couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"why are you laughing?"
"You dare to scold the second brother for being crazy? How about the fourth brother? If the second brother doesn't want to do it, how about you come? Brother, I will fully support you."
"I'm coming? Do you support me? Shall we die together? Are you like my second brother? Your brain is also filled with water. Let's go back."
The fourth prince spoke angrily and walked away directly.
It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but he knows better than anyone else that he has no chance at all, while his second brother Long Yun still has a little chance.
The Ninth Prince was not angry. He just mentioned it casually. In fact, the relationship between the two of them in private was closer than that of Long Yun.
Looking at the two people walking away, the Ninth Prince was very calm.
He doesn't have too many ideas, and it doesn't matter whether he wants to fight or not.
A few days later, Long Qi completely prepared everything. He took the three Baihongs around him, as well as Zhu Yun and other three brothers, and after meeting the two generals of the Shangguan family, they quietly walked towards the military camp.
out.
The expedition was not directly announced to the world, and not many people knew about it, only a few important court officials and some military camp generals.
Everyone was wearing armor, and under the leadership of Long Qi, they galloped directly towards the distance on horseback.
