Gu Chengyu shook his head, "Brother, please don't underestimate Prince Jing. I think he has been hiding his power and biding his time in the past few years. It cannot be said that he keeps making small moves in private. Maybe everything that happened in the court before was his handiwork. This person should not be underestimated.
"
"Oh? I see that you are a little wary of him. If he can really do what you said, he is indeed a man of strategy."
Yin Kun felt a little strange that Gu Chengyu was so afraid of Prince Jing. Did Prince Jing really make arrangements in private?
Then his previous decision was too hasty and he needs to think carefully.
"There's no need to be afraid. I'm a sixth-grade official. The fire of seizing the direct descendant won't burn me, right?" Gu Chengyu said with a smile.
"If Prince Jing is really capable, do you think it is very likely that he will become the crown prince?" Yin Kun asked pretending to be relaxed.
Gu Chengyu shook his head, "I don't know. We don't know his private actions, so how can I tell? But I have met Prince Jing. He looks harmless on the surface, but he is an unscrupulous person."
"Yeah!" Yin Kun couldn't help but became confused, and he was even more shaken by his previous decision.
He didn't expect that his conversation with Gu Chengyu today would lead to him getting so much news.
"Actually, senior brother, you might as well wait and see again. It's too early to take sides now!"
Yin Kun suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Chengyu with horrified eyes.
He never mentioned taking sides with Gu Chengyu, but he didn’t expect that Gu Chengyu had already noticed? This junior brother
"Senior brother is also hesitating. After listening to your words today, I discovered that I haven't seen it through as well as you."
Yin Kun saw that Gu Chengyu exposed his background, so he stopped hiding it.
"Senior brother, do you think the second prince has a better chance?"
Now that Yin Kun confessed, Gu Chengyu simply opened his mouth and said.
Yin Kun nodded, "Indeed! I think the second prince is not as honest and honest as he appears. Judging from the fact that he has never been caught doing anything, he is a man of great wisdom and foolishness."
Gu Chengyu said before that he didn't know the second prince, and it was hard to slap him in the face now. So he only planned to say a few words to let Yin Kun know what he was thinking.
"Judging from the questions raised by the second prince when he went to court last time, I think he is a practical person. He is the legitimate son, and he has a maternal family like Zhan Yuanhoufu. From the surface, his chances are not small. However, this
It still depends on what the emperor thinks, after all, the emperor may prefer the eldest prince?"
In fact, the candidate in Gu Chengyu's mind was also the second prince. The emperor was kind to the eldest prince, but he always felt that the kindness was only because the eldest prince was the emperor's eldest son and he was quite capable.
"It's also possible that the eldest prince is favored more than the second prince. But I don't know whose team Xia Qing is on."
Speaking of this, Yin Kun couldn't help but frown.
Xia Qing formed cliques in the court for personal gain, and naturally there were countless officials who joined him.
If Xia Qing supports any prince, that prince will naturally have a greater chance of becoming the prince.
When that person ascends to the throne in the future, Xia Qing will have the merit of following the dragon!
Yin Kun joined the team so early for this credit. If he had become a pure minister, when Shinhuang came to the throne, he would definitely promote his cronies. Whether he can secure his current position is still unknown.
Junior brother Jin Yu is not lacking in strategy and courage. No matter which new emperor ascends the throne, a talent like Jin Yu will naturally have no way out.
But he was different. He wanted to give it a try and give it a try for his family.
Sighing deeply, Yin Kun looked at the handsome young man in front of him and could only lament that comparing people to others was so frustrating.
"Your Highness! This little guy is really dirty. He actually tampered with the case of extermination. He regards human life as an ant. Even if he ascends to the great treasure, it will be difficult to convince the public!"
In the study room of the First Prince's Mansion, a man wearing a sky-blue round-neck robe said angrily.
This person is none other than Jiang Chengguan, a staff member of the Grand Prince's Mansion.
"Hmph! The third child's methods are getting more and more despicable. If this matter is not handled well, wouldn't it be a slap in my face? My father will definitely feel that I am not doing things well. The third child is really disgusting.
"
The eldest prince was also very unhappy with this matter. In the past, this would have been just a scratching the surface. But at this juncture, it was inevitable that the ministers would not let him go.
"Your Highness, the Third Prince is quite content in the Arms Bureau. He is watching the fire from the other side!"
Ma Zhihong, the Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, snorted disdainfully, "The eldest prince called these cronies over today just to discuss how to draw the third prince into trouble."
"I see that the third child is really free. I need to find something for him to do."
The eldest prince turned and looked out the window at the dim sky. Dusk had passed, and there were signs of an approaching storm.
"Isn't it easy to find something for him to do? Your Highness didn't say that the Ordnance Bureau has been developing a new weapon recently, but it hasn't been successful yet. How about finding a way to bribe the officials of the Ordnance Bureau and asking them to produce a batch of weapons that haven't been developed yet?
After successfully developing a weapon, let someone report this matter to the emperor?"
The staff member Yang Baiqi smiled sadly, he was about to be crown prince. Isn't this just an opportunity?
If this was done, the third prince would be more guilty than His Highness, and Yang Baiqi couldn't help but praise his strategy.
The eldest prince turned around and glanced at Yang Baiqi with a cold gaze, startling Yang Baiqi.
Originally, the eldest prince wanted to get angry, but he knew that now was a critical moment, and these staff had to make suggestions for him, and they had to save face.
Besides, Yang Baiqi was of some use to him on weekdays, and he was somewhat capable, but more unscrupulous than him.
You still have to save some emotion, so as not to make other people present unhappy and fearful, and they won't even dare to tell you their strategies.
The eldest prince suppressed his anger and prepared to scold him briefly.
"How much money will be wasted if such a batch of weapons cannot be used? The treasury is already empty. Although doing this will make my father furious, it will also be detrimental to the court. Don't forget that Daxing is still watching the border.
"
Although the eldest prince was cruel to those merchants before, he was reluctant to waste the court's money, and the overall situation still had to be taken into consideration.
Yang Baiqi immediately looked embarrassed and sat aside without daring to say anything.
"If you have any other plans, tell them. Don't worry about whether they are right or not. Let's discuss them. These days are critical moments, and glory and wealth are just around the corner. You should advance and retreat together with me, and I won't do anything about it afterwards.
I’ve treated you badly.”
The eldest prince saw that several people here were silent, and he felt a little anxious in his heart.
"Your Highness! I think the top priority is to find the real murderer of the family murder case. As for the third prince? Of course we can't let him live happily. What Mr. Yang just said makes some sense."
"Oh? What's your opinion, Mr. Sun? Tell me."
Sun Yao, the staff member, has always been a popular figure in front of the eldest prince. No matter how unwilling the other two staff members were, they could only swallow this sigh of relief.
