Fu Jin wandered around and went to Wang Ji's shop.
At this hour, there was no one in the shop.
There was a girl sitting next to the window. When she saw him coming in, she turned around and smiled.
Fu Jin stood up and sat opposite her.
"Waiter, serve the food and wine!"
"Okay!"
Fu Jin was already a regular customer, so without any instructions, the waiter took his favorite wine and cut a platter of braised pork and brought it over.
"My husband loves pig head meat the most. I specially cut it into two taels. Can you take a look at it?"
Fu Jin laughed and threw a piece of silver in the past: "If you have the eyes, I'll reward you."
The waiter was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mr."
The sounds of people around him receded like the tide.
Fu Jin took a sip of his wine happily and said, "Finally there is no need to cover up others' eyes and ears. Success or failure depends on this."
Mingwei slowly peeled the braised peanuts and said with a smile: "Mr. Fu is really calm. If what happened back then was really planned by Zhang Tan, then he would be so good at pretending. Aren't you afraid of capsizing?"
Fu Jin also laughed: "The tiger may not have the same momentum after sleeping for a long time. In the five years since I came to Beijing, I have never had a day of leisure."
He tapped the table and said: "The hands in the dark have indeed moved. Someone is investigating the fall of King An. This Prime Minister may be the person in the Star Palace that you are suspicious of."
Mingwei chewed the peanut carefully, swallowed it, and then said: "According to Mingxiao's memory, there was a split in Xinggong decades ago, and it was this split that caused them to lurk for decades. The controversy at that time
The core seems to be whether to support the Jiang family. The die-hards among them insist on supporting the Chen royal family. However, some people believe that the Chen family has exhausted its power and should choose another candidate. Perhaps, this Prime Minister is the supporter of the latter proposal.
”
"It makes sense." Fu Jin said, "If it were me, I would try my best to use facts to prove that my opinion is right. Speaking of which, this Prime Minister is really the most successful one in the star palace. Only he chooses
The person succeeded in ascending to the throne."
"But that's not enough. Seeing what Mingxiao and Miss Ling want, they want the people they support to unify the world and become the true king of a country. Maybe it's because of this that Prime Minister Zhang didn't reveal his identity and summon other stars?"
Fu Jin pondered: "Miss Ming, according to what you said, there is a problem here!"
"What's the problem?"
"Why did he choose the current one? He has no such ambition to dominate the world. It would be more like Prince Sihuai."
"Perhaps Prince Sihuai is not obedient." Ming Wei said lightly, "For them, obedience is the most important, and ability is secondary."
Fu Jin nodded: "That's right."
Mingwei fiddled with the peanuts on the plate: "Now, the identity of this Prime Minister is already clear. To be able to do this, he is definitely not an ordinary star. Xuanwu Xingguan is Mingxiao, and Zhuque Xingguan is Mingxiao.
Miss Ling, there is a vacancy for the Azure Dragon Star Officer, so there is only one White Tiger Star Officer left. Haha, you can really hide it, and it is actually right under our noses."
Many things that I couldn't figure out finally became clear when Zhang Tan's identity came to light.
What happened during Taizu's last years of seizing the heir apparent? Why did the current one stand out? Even why the eldest princess died are all answered.
Fu Jin said with a smile: "He hid it so deeply, I'm afraid he also felt that he was not completely successful and wanted to wait for the opportunity."
Mingwei nodded.
One of them ate braised pork, the other ate peanuts, and sat quietly facing each other for a while.
Mingwei asked: "Sir, I feel guilty! Are you sure you can do it?"
Her behavior made Fu Jin laugh: "It's rare to see Miss Ming look like this, it makes me feel at ease! Miss Ming always looks confident, which often makes me suspect that I have wasted my life at this age."
Mingwei smiled slightly: "Sir, can't you comfort me?"
Fu Jin nodded and said somewhat mysteriously: "You are so calm because there is a Dinghaishen Needle there. Zhang Tan cannot get around it no matter what."
"Oh? Who is it?"
Fu Jin clicked on the desktop twice: "Fu Wang."
…
Zhang Tan was stunned for a moment.
He never thought that there would be problems on King Fu's side.
King Lao Fu was a brother of Emperor Taizu. He had never made any meritorious deeds in conquering the world, so he took up a sectarian position for nothing. Their family has always been very self-aware. Without Emperor Taizu, they would still be farming!
For decades, their family has been a symbol. During the rebellion, they did not say a word, whoever the emperor established was who he was.
——Wait, maybe this old man is just straightforward?
Lord Liang immediately asked: "His Royal Highness Prince Fu, is this really the case?"
Prince Fu nodded: "It was indeed relayed by Prime Minister Zhang."
"So, according to your opinion, how is the Holy Spirit's sanity?"
Prince Fu hesitated: "When I was called into the palace, Your Majesty happened to be ill and vomited a lot of blood. Later, Prime Minister Zhang came and said that he wanted to talk to Your Majesty alone. After they had negotiated, Your Majesty fell asleep again."
Liang Yi got the answer he wanted and looked at Zhang Tan: "Xiang Zhang, what else can you say? From beginning to end, it is your opinion alone. Whose hand this imperial edict came from is still unknown!"
It was as if he pointed his finger at Zhang Tan’s nose and said, “You are trying to correct the imperial edict!”
Zhang Tan raised his eyelids, and his officials came out to argue: "Master Liang said it with all his heart, but he didn't know what was fishy about this imperial edict? Your Majesty knew that His Royal Highness Prince An had injured his leg and could no longer assume the responsibility of the crown prince, so he pushed him down like this.
, isn’t it natural to establish a fourth prince?”
"You said His Royal Highness Prince An is unable to shoulder the responsibility of the crown prince? As far as I know, the divine doctor clearly said that His Royal Highness Prince An's leg can be cured!"
"Then did you hear the premise? Zhong Yue said that it may take two or three years to treat this leg. His Highness Prince An fell so hard that it will take two to three years to see the effect. What if the treatment cannot be done?"
"Just in case, for such an important matter as establishing the crown prince, how could you exclude Prince An from the event?"
The two sides had a heated argument.
Zhang Tan's eyes fell on Prince Fu, he pondered for a moment, and said: "The previous incident was indeed a result of poor consideration and I did not call His Highness Prince Fu to his face. Now that the matter has happened, I wonder what His Highness Prince Fu thinks? Please give me some advice."
Prince Fu was still stroking his beard, as if he was too old and didn't want to get involved. He waved his hand and said: "I am an old man and have never understood government affairs. When Prime Minister Zhang asked this, he didn't know how to answer."
Zhang Tan just wanted to take it over casually, but he heard him continue slowly: "...But, after all, this is our Jiang family's matter. As a Zongzheng, I still have to say a few words to the Duke."
Zhang Tan felt something bad as he listened. Sure enough, he said: "When the emperor wants to manage the country, my third leg breaks, and it will take two or three years to recuperate. Won't there be no one to work for? Indeed.
It's inappropriate. But the fourth child is too young to take on the responsibility. If the third child can't take care of it, he can't do it either. And there's no serious elder above him, not even someone to take care of it, so it's not appropriate!
"
Zhang Tan asked in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness Prince Fu feels that this is not suitable, and that is not suitable either, so what should we do?"
"I don't know!" King Fu spread his hands, "You guys, the pillars of the country, can't come up with any ideas. How can I, a bad old man, have any ideas?"
"..."
This old man is not upright at all, but is deliberately causing trouble! (To be continued)
