"Prince's position?" When Guangxie heard this, his pupils shrank, and then he sneered, "Isn't your tone too loud?"
"Since it is a bet, the bet itself must be fair. Could you please tell me, is it more difficult to obtain the two first-place medals or is it more difficult for King Fuyong to ascend to the position of crown prince?"
Guang Xie didn't see an answer. He looked at Xia Shang carefully, but he didn't see the slightest hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Ahem..." Guangxie coughed twice, looked back at the people behind him, and motioned for them to go out.
Guang Xie's men left quickly, leaving only the two of them in the abandoned room.
"Boy, do you really mean what you just said?"
"You think I'm joking?"
Guangxie was silent for a while: "Put your hands on the table."
This statement made Xia Shang a little confused, but he still obeyed and put his hands on the table.
Suddenly, Guang Xie grabbed him with one hand and instantly held Xia Shang's hands firmly in his hands.
Xia Shang was slightly shocked: "What are you doing?"
Guangxie sneered: "I know you are a scheming villain, and I have also found out some things. The current prince was injured for unknown reasons, but the only person he saw before he was injured was you! Since you can do it without being noticed,
If you hurt the prince, you may not be able to use any tricks now. Now that you have both hands in my hands, even if you have any tricks, it won't be easy to use. In this way, we feel more at ease when talking."
It turns out that's why...
A hint of pride appeared on the corner of Xia Shang's mouth: "It turns out that ruthless characters like senior are afraid of little brats like me. Are you promoting me or have you become timid?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Guangxie interrupted sharply, "I ask you again, is what you said true or false?"
"The bet is true, but whether it comes true or not depends on fate."
"On its own, it is an extremely thrilling task to seize the first position of the Twelve Divisions. But compared to supporting King Yong and ascending to the position of crown prince, it is naturally more difficult to support King Yong. Although the situation in the capital has many changes
Due to unexpected events, Prince Li Xin can no longer control the sky in the capital. But to support King Yong to ascend to the throne of crown prince, it is undoubtedly more serious than taking Li Xin's life. This will definitely create a conflict between Li Xin and Li Xin. The thoughts in the capital
I'm afraid I can't find anyone who wants to be a direct enemy of Li Xin. If you, a kid like you, want to fight head-on, then that's another matter. Even if you help King Yong ascend to the position of crown prince, I'm afraid King Yong and you will have too many enemies.
He won’t live for more than a few days.”
"Senior, there is no need to worry about this. No one will take their own lives for granted. If safety cannot be ensured, I will not go into this muddy water."
"You are indeed very cunning. If you can accomplish something that no one dares to imagine, it will be a great achievement. The princess's plan will definitely have fewer obstacles. Well, I will agree to your bet. From today on
, my people began to look for the remaining first waist card, and you tried your best to plan for King Yong. But..." Guang Xie paused, "This bet must have a time limit, I can't wait for you
Three to five years.”
"How about a year?"
"Half a year!"
"Although Li Xin is somewhat at odds with the emperor now, in the emperor's heart, Li Xin is still the most suitable person to be the prince. It is really difficult to change all this in just six months."
"I understand all this, but I can only give you half a year. I have no intention of delaying it any longer."
Xia Shang frowned: "Okay, I promise you. But there must be a time limit for what you promised me. We also agreed for half a year, and we will fulfill our promise after half a year. If I don't complete it, you will kill me, but if you don't
What if it’s completed?”
"Just kill me."
"Kill you? That's not a big deal. As long as you agree to join the Metropolitan Procuratorate and be loyal to me for the rest of your life."
Guang Xie glanced at him coldly, mostly disdainfully, thinking to himself, this guy still wants to take him under his command?
It’s just a ridiculous dream!
"Okay! I promise you too!"
Guang Xie opened his mouth and readily agreed, "But the money I promised before."
"I won't go back on this. I'll just send people to move it as soon as possible. There are only 300,000 cars now, and the remaining money will be obtained from Fenghui Bank in the near future."
"Okay, I hope you keep your word."
"Now that nothing has happened, should I be sent back?"
Guangxie smiled: "Since we no longer have any prejudice against Mr. Xia, I naturally have to treat you as a guest. To be honest, the princess has prepared fine wine and delicacies in the palace today, and she wants to invite Mr. Xia to come over."
Xia Shang frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.
This method of giving a candy by slapping him was really not very elegant, and made Xia Shang look like a child.
If Xia Shang hadn't been attacked from both sides now, and he really didn't want to make enemies again, he wouldn't be so easy to talk to today.
For the sake of the overall situation, Xia Shang did not show too much emotion, and followed Guang Xie into Che Jiao again with a calm expression.
This time, Xia Shang was not given a hood, but Xia Shang did not care where he was taken.
Just like his name, Guang Xie has an evil aura to him. Even though he speaks carelessly and gives the impression of being thick-brained, the way he looks at people is not simple.
Although he couldn't find any flaws, his instinct told Xia Shang that he couldn't believe what the other party said.
The princess must have been involved in the whole thing, but whether Guangxie handled the specific matter completely in accordance with the princess's wishes is a question worthy of discussion.
After Xia Shang got in the car, he closed his eyes and rested, trying to regulate his emotions. He was worried that when he saw the princess getting in, he would be too straightforward and say some angry words that would embarrass the situation.
Xia Shang was really a little angry. Thinking that all this was planned by that woman, he felt resentful in his heart.
Nangong Chuxin is not a simple woman, Xia Shang has known this for a long time, but he always felt that this Nangong Chuxin revealed some truth in front of him.
In Xia Shang's heart, Nangong Chuxin has always been a beautiful little woman with huge ambitions.
What could make Xia Shang treat her politely and with a touch of kindness was probably the womanly attitude that the other party inadvertently revealed in front of him.
But looking at it now, the other party's little womanly attitude is not real, it is more like a kind of confusion that makes Xia Shang relax his vigilance...
This made Xia Shang difficult to accept.
It's not comfortable in a sedan chair on a snowy day, and there's a lot of humidity in the enclosed space.
It wasn't until I returned to the capital that things improved.
It's afternoon now, and although it's snowing heavily, there are still sporadic people going out.
Along the way, what Xia Shang heard most was the people's discussions about this year's weather.
It is said that this year's snowfall is more severe than in previous years, as if there is a hole in the sky. If we follow this method, we don't know how many percent of next year's crops will be harvested.
Speaking of which, everyone's heart is full of worries.
Half an hour later, Prince Yong's Mansion arrived.
This newly built Prince Yong's Mansion is not very big, but it is indeed newly built.
This shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the third prince Li Yong.
Others did it to express the emperor's inner guilt.
Because everyone thought that King Yong was the most incompetent at that time, both the court officials and the people in the capital took Li Yong as a joke.
After hearing this for a long time, the emperor also developed a dislike for Li Yong in his heart. He even used the word "Yong" to laugh at himself, and became the first royal family to be sent to another province in the same year.
He became a tragic character who was eliminated before the whole struggle for imperial power even started.
After the incident of Mr. Dongyue a year ago, the people and the court saw clearly that this Li Yong was not that mediocre and incompetent. He actually used his strength to overlord Kuang Lan at the critical moment and saved the entire capital of literati. There was no chaos in the world.
.
The courage shown behind such great achievements was extraordinary, so he gained the emperor's attention and rejoined the power struggle in the capital.
This brand-new Prince Yong's Mansion represents the people of the world's new understanding of Prince Yong.
Over the past year or so, Li Yong has gained a lot of good reputation in the capital, especially in the streets near the palace. People speak highly of Li Yong. He is somewhat similar to the second prince in his early years. He is approachable, has no airs, and treats people well.
Others are very kind. They are completely opposite to the notorious Li Xin.
Li Yong had already arrived in front of the mansion, standing straight and waiting in a neat fur coat.
The people in the residence opposite looked very curious, and several people were talking attentively, probably discussing who was sitting in the car that came over. Who could actually let a prince come out to receive him in person?
The car stopped, and before he even got out of the car, he heard Li Yong asking outside: "What's going on? It was agreed to be noon, but it's been more than an hour now! How did you invite people?"
Guang Xie replied loudly from outside: "My lord, please forgive me, it's really snowy and it's very difficult for the carriage to move in the snow. Also, it took me a while to invite Mr. Xia."
"You guys, you think you are so capable on weekdays, but you can't do such a simple thing? Why don't you think Mr. Xia comes out?"
Guang Xie then opened the curtain and winked at Xia Shang, signaling him not to tell anyone about what happened before.
Xia Shang still has some unknowns. Is Li Yong really unaware of this or is he pretending not to know?
This is not critical. Xia Shang didn't think much about it and saluted Li Yong who greeted him with a smile: "I have met the prince."
"Mr. Xia, you don't have to be polite. I'm being careless today. I forgot about the inconvenience of traveling in the heavy snow. I thought you could arrive at noon, but I didn't expect that it took me so long and the food I prepared was already cold. But it doesn't matter, I have already given instructions to my subordinates.
Prepare new ones, you must be as hungry as Mr. Xia, right?"
Xia Shang touched his stomach, but it made two dissatisfied sounds.
When Li Yong heard this, he laughed and led Xia Shang to the mansion.
Guangxie went elsewhere, detouring through the back door and entering the small garden of the palace.
Nangong Chuxin wore a snow-white robe and carefully built the wintersweet transplanted from Yangzhou.
After coming to the capital, Nangong Chuxin still missed the huge plum blossom forest in Prince Yong's Mansion in Yangzhou, so he specially asked someone to transplant the plum trees there.
Now it's time to bloom, and the buds on the trees are all full. Whether they can bloom or not will mean whether these trees can grow well in the future, so Nangong Chu is very concerned.
"Princess, Xia Shang has arrived at the palace." (To be continued)
