Does the Xia Chamber of Commerce really have the leisure to endlessly imitate the so-called magic pen?
Obviously, he is not bored to this point yet.
Looking at King Yong's questioning expression, Xia Shang just smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "A year ago, Xiaguan somewhat believed in the so-called legend of the magic pen. After all, there are so many weird things in this world.
Many, it is not unbelievable to say that a pen is related to the fate of the world.
People will be greedy, and they will hesitate when facing the supreme power. In fact, when Xiaguan decided to use a fake magic pen to hand it to the general of Wu'an, it was not because Xiaguan was good at calculation.
, just because I was greedy and didn’t want to hand over the magic pen.
But after a while, Xiaguan gradually figured it out. The magic pen brought out from the palace may not be the real magic pen."
Li Yong frowned again and asked, "What's the meaning of this?"
"Your Majesty, think about it carefully. If there really is a magic pen in the world, which is related to the fate of the country, how could the current Holy Emperor take the magic pen out of the palace so easily? Even if it was to relieve disasters and beg the gods with the magic pen, this disaster would
Just affecting one area of the people cannot shake the entire country. If I were the emperor and held such an important thing in my hand, how could I risk the magic pen being stolen so easily?
If the magic pen taken out from the palace is a real magic pen, it only means that the magic pen does not have such an important position in the emperor's heart. It also proves that the legend of the magic pen is false.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, the magic pen that appears in front of the prince now is not as important as the world thinks."
Li Yong thought hard and murmured: "If the legend is true, then the magic pen in my hand is fake. If the legend is false, then the magic pen in my hand is useless regardless of whether it is true or false? This...
…Doesn’t this make me happy for nothing?”
Xia Shang smiled again: "Hasn't the prince thought about the emperor's careful layout?"
"Father has carefully laid out..."
"There is no need to go through Suzhou to send the magic pen from the capital to Jianghuai, but why was the magic pen stolen in Suzhou? Suzhou is where people from all walks of life gather, with a mixture of good and bad, and various forces. Once the news of the magic pen spreads,
It will inevitably lead to competition from all parties. Moreover, the information about the magic pen is so important and confidential. If the emperor intends for the magic pen to arrive safely in the disaster area, the news will probably not be known to anyone. But the news about the magic pen is too secret.
Just because someone knows about it, doesn’t this arouse suspicion?”
Li Yong's eyes lit up: "Could it be that my father deliberately let the magic pen be stolen? But what is the purpose of my father's actions? Is it to combat the evil forces in the world? Because whoever participates in robbing the magic pen can prove that he has disloyalty.
Heart."
"It's just a gangster force. I don't think the emperor would have expended such effort. Looking at the current situation, after the magic pen was stolen, the emperor asked the second prince Li Xiangyang to investigate. This matter is a bit strange."
"What's so strange about this?"
"Let's talk about the matter. There are many ministers in the court who are qualified to investigate the case of the theft of the magic pen. On the contrary, it seems inappropriate for the prince to intervene in the magic pen. Because the destiny of the country is at stake, and the prince is a very sensitive person, there will definitely be someone
It is believed that once a certain prince gets the magic pen, he will become the next prince. How could the emperor not know such a simple truth?
But the emperor just did it! Adding to the previous speculations, we can conclude that the magic pen incident was a test for the second prince Li Xiangyang."
"Test? What is the test?"
"To test whether the second prince remains loyal."
"How can I see it?"
"Obviously, the emperor wants to know whether the second prince chose to keep the magic pen privately or hand it over after getting the magic pen. From the various experiences after the magic pen was stolen, we can see whether the second prince will no longer be favored by the emperor after returning to the capital from Suzhou.
Nay? Did the eldest prince become more and more powerful after this incident? It is obvious that the emperor was disappointed with the second prince after the incident with the magic pen."
"But I have never heard that Li Xiangyang got a magic pen..."
"But he got a fake magic pen, and I believe that the emperor knows better than anyone else about everything that happened in Suzhou. The lower official also did something unintentional. Everyone thought that the emperor cared about the magic pen, but in fact the emperor
What I Care about: Li Xiangyang’s reaction after getting the magic pen.
Unfortunately, because the lower official gave Li Xiangyang a fake magic pen, Li Xiangyang chose to keep it privately and had no intention of returning it to the emperor. Therefore, the emperor was disappointed with Li Xiangyang. So after that, Li Xin's power further increased, and another
On the one hand, Li Xin became the crown prince because of Li Xiangyang's great contributions."
"What does this have to do with Li Xin?"
"Because at that time, only Li Xiangyang could compete with Li Xin for the crown prince position, and Li Xin's violent and arrogant character was the reason why the emperor
What he doesn't like, the emperor prefers that the person who inherits the throne is a benevolent king. The emperor can only choose Li Xiangyang. But the emperor needs to determine what kind of character Li Xiangyang is, whether he is hypocritical or benevolent, so there is such a test."
"But why not Li Xin?"
"Because the emperor knows in his heart that Li Xin will not return the magic pen after getting it, so there is no need to conduct a test. In this matter, the emperor has understood that in fact, Li Xin and Li Xiangyang are basically the same people. Comparing the two
, the emperor naturally chose Li Xin and gave up on Li Xiangyang."
"So, my father has never considered me from beginning to end?" Li Yong was a little afraid, pressing his hands tightly on the table with an angry expression.
"Today is different from the past, and the current situation is changing every day. The current King Yong is old enough to stand on the stage, but the emperor has not noticed it for the time being, and the emperor may have forgotten the original test."
"If you say that, doesn't it mean that the magic pen is useless?"
"The emperor has forgotten what happened in the past, let's make him remember it. As long as he knows that there is one among his princes who is willing to return the magic pen regardless of the legend of the magic pen, I believe that the emperor will be even more impressed by King Yong at that time
of."
At this point, Li Yong understood everything.
The emperor has always hoped that someone would return the magic pen to him. Although it has been a long time, the emperor hopes to entrust the country to someone who is not greedy for power, loyal to the imperial power, and has a benevolent heart.
Li Yong didn't know whether this move would make his father make major changes, but at least it would occupy a more important position in his heart.
Thinking about it now, Li Yong found that Xia Shang looked at the problem very accurately. Instead of relying on a mythical legend, it would be better to win the favor of his father. After all, the final decision-making power still lies in the hands of his father.
Li Yong was very excited and clasped his fists at Xia Shang: "If you hadn't solved the problem this time, I would have almost missed this great opportunity. I will write my magic pen to my father tomorrow."
"Wait a minute." Xia Shang interrupted.
"Huh?" Li Yong was confused.
"The time is not yet ripe."
“When will the time be right?”
"Now that I am born with a strange phenomenon, the prince is also of royal blood. It can be said that I have both the right time and the right place. Now I still need to make peace with him. Only when the right time and place and the right people come together can I change the overall situation of power in the capital."
