There have been many guests in Prince Qi's Mansion, but there are very few officials with real power. Even if there are most of them, they are just small fish and shrimps with no place on the stage. There are only a few officials with relatively high official positions.
Of course, these high-ranking officials who came to the banquet were not stupid and could not see clearly the situation. It was just that King Qi was the eldest son after all, and the succession system of the emperor's eldest son was an ancestral system. In every dynasty and every generation, there would be such a few prestigious veterans to support them.
The eldest son of the emperor, this is all normal.
In addition to the above, the largest proportion of people in this banquet are the descendants of some high-ranking families. It is easy to invite a few descendants without asking their parents.
Although the high officials in the court are all smart people who understand who holds the real power, the prince is more inclined to military generals after all, and the prince's handling of political affairs is not as good as the current majesty.
Their positions are not at the top of the imperial court, and their future promotion arrangements and future prospects are still in the hands of His Majesty.
After all, not everyone is the Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials, and they are not qualified for the prince to pay attention to them.
Now the prince has no intention of taking back the throne, and your majesty has not established a heir apparent.
As the eldest son of the emperor, King Qi also has the support of several veteran ministers who have a lot of prestige in the court. It is hard to say that it is really possible to reach that point.
People always have to fight for their own future.
Since you can enter the court and participate in political affairs, it can be said that no one is a fool. Since you are not a fool, you should understand that you cannot put all your eggs in one basket.
Due to his status and responsibilities, it is inconvenient for him to show up and go, so by default, he allows his heir to go, which can be regarded as leaving a way out for himself.
If King Qi can really ascend to the throne in the end, then those of them who worked secretly can also gain some benefits.
If the King of Qi does not ascend to the throne in the end, they can separate the relationship as soon as possible and preserve their existing interests to the greatest extent.
…
King Qi looked at the guests who were entering one after another, with a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.
Even if the real power is in the hands of a wise king, he can still recruit the support of some courtiers with his own talents and abilities.
One day, he will take back the military power from the wise king. Military power should be in the hands of the true emperor since ancient times!
The prince's command of the army is not in accordance with the etiquette! It is even more contrary to the ancestral teachings!
I believe that there must be many courtiers who supported this resolution when I came to the throne!
As long as the military power is taken back, the wise king will be the meat on the chopping board, and he can be sentenced to whatever crime he wants.
Damn Xiao Ye!
You actually broke one of my king's legs! A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. Sooner or later, I will pay you back ten times and a hundred times!
As long as you have military power in your hands, it is only a matter of seconds to bring order to the chaos and rectify the Chao Gang!
I must let my father see that he has done what his father failed to do!

Officially
on a carriage
Xiao Ye, who was sitting in the carriage, sneezed for no reason. Xiao Ye rubbed his nose and murmured to himself: "Who said bad things about me behind my back? Let me think about who said it, Brother Xu... I'm sure
It can’t be Brother Xu, Brother Xu never lies to himself, let alone speaks ill of himself.”
"Who could it be? Xue'er? It's over, I have to swallow this even if it is..."
In the end, Xiao Ye still couldn't determine who said bad things about him. Xiao Ye, who was sitting in the carriage, sighed and his eyes suddenly turned hard.
Then Xiao Ye, who was sitting on the carriage, murmured to himself: "Since you can't figure out who it is, let's put the blame on King Qi's head! If the bronze mirror is not wiped, it will be unclear, and King Qi will not be able to do it! It happens to be these few days.
I often suffered from my father’s anger, and I had him operated upon when I arrived in the capital two days later!”
…
Prince Qi's Mansion
King Qi looked at the guests who had already arrived one after another, and was a little confused, and then called his entourage: "Have you delivered the invitation that I asked you to send to Uncle Anding's Mansion?"
The attendant lowered his head and said: "Back to Your Highness, I have indeed sent the invitation to Uncle Anding's house intact."
King Qi frowned and said: "Since it has been delivered, why hasn't Anding County Uncle come yet? Could it be that the carriage is blocked on the road?"
At this moment, a servant came over quickly and said: "Your Highness, just now the servants from the Anding Count's Mansion came over to say that the Anding County Count had caught a cold last night and was unable to attend."
King Qi immediately frowned even deeper and threw the tea cup next to him to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
If you don't get sick early, you won't get sick later, but if you get sick at this time, isn't it obvious that you look down on him, King Qi, and don't want to come at all?
How dare a mere county official do this?!
At this time, the middle-aged counselor in robes came over, waved his hand and made all the servants around him retreat. Then he looked at King Qi and said, "Why is your highness so angry?"
King Qi said cruelly: "My uncle from Anding County just sent someone to excuse me because of his illness. This person didn't take Prince Qi's residence seriously at all. He really didn't take me seriously! He didn't even take me seriously! It's extremely abominable! In my opinion,
, Anding County Uncle and that Xiao Ye are clearly the same species! Sooner or later they will be liquidated!"
Seeing King Qi's appearance, the middle-aged counselor said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, as an emperor, you should be able to tolerate others, and you must have a city in your heart. You must not show all your emotions in front of others!"
When King Qi heard what the middle-aged counselor said, he suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at the middle-aged counselor and said, "What Mr. Wu said is true. I understand."
Mr. Wu said: "Your Highness, in ancient times, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty paid three visits to Zhuge Liang in his thatched cottage, and finally asked for Zhuge Liang's assistance with all his life. Your Highness, just because an invitation failed to work, had to send such a talented person to Zhuge Liang.
Are people being turned away?”
King Qi looked at Mr. Wu and said, "What should I do? Please teach me."
Mr. Wu said: "I failed to ask for help once, so I asked again after a few days. The Anding County Bodhisattva was able to accomplish such an extraordinary feat before he reached the age of weak. It is only natural for people to have the arrogance of ordinary people. If it were different,
Even I can take credit and be arrogant. Young people are like this. As long as Your Highness is sincere in seeking talents, your Highness will take the Anding County uncle sooner or later."
King Qi's originally gloomy expression became calm, and he nodded and said, "I understand."
As an emperor, you must have a palace and must not show all your emotions in front of others!
Xu Qing, if you wait and dare to refuse my invitation, you will have to pay the price!
…
Anding Bofu
"Oh!"
Xu Qing, who had just returned to the bedroom after dinner, sneezed firmly and murmured: "Who is saying bad things about me behind my back?"
Su Qian had just entered the bedroom and closed the door when she heard Xu Qing's sneeze. Su Qian looked at Xu Qing and said with concern: "Would you like me to ask a doctor to come and take a look? My husband must not be infected with the cold."
good."
Xu Qing looked at Su Qian and said with a pitiful expression: "Madam, you must have pulled the quilt away last night, so my husband caught a cold. Madam, do you think you can compensate me a little tonight?"
