Chapter 926

Chapter 926 Hindsight

"Cough, cough..."

Long Guangzheng couldn't listen anymore and said meaningfully, "Second prince, my daughter Long Simin, I believe you still remember it, right?"

"Xiao Min, remember!"

Nangong Kaige said without thinking: "When I left the imperial capital ten years ago and went to the border of the Western Region, she was not yet an adult. She must have become a great beauty by now, right?"

"Yes, it is!"

Long Guangzheng nodded subconsciously.

But the expression on his face became even weirder.

Is this Nangong Kaige deliberately pretending to be stupid to make fun of him, or does he really not know about this yet?

"Haha, I knew it, a tiger father has no dog daughter!"

Nangong Kaige said carelessly: "As Uncle Long's daughter, Xiao Min must be a great beauty!"

"but……"

He changed the subject and added: "As I said at the beginning, no matter how she looks, I will treat her as my own sister!"

Long Guangzheng: "..."

It seemed that Yu couldn't stand Nangong Kaige's behavior. He didn't know whether it was really stupid or deliberately pretending to be stupid. He cleared his throat and said seriously: "Second Prince, I want to tell you something!"

"Uncle Long, please tell me, I'm all ears!"

Nangong Kaige made a "please" gesture.

"Xiao Min...she married the fourth prince some time ago!"

When he said this, Long Guang was staring at Nangong Kaige, as if he wanted to capture the information he wanted from the changes in the other person's expression.

However……

"Are you married to my fourth brother?"

Nangong Kaige was startled at first, then clapped his hands and applauded, "Okay, great, Xiao Min can become a family with my fourth brother, so he is a good match!"

After a pause, he added: "In this case, wouldn't Uncle Long and I become more intimate?"

Long Guangzheng blinked his eyes and then smiled stiffly, "That's indeed the truth!"

"Then I wonder what Uncle Long thinks about what I just mentioned?"

Nangong Kaige added: "As long as I have your full support, Uncle Long, and my 300,000 troops on the border of the Western Region, the throne is just a matter of hands!"

"Cough, cough...Second Prince!"

Long Guangzheng seemed to be unable to listen anymore, and hurriedly reminded: "I am old now, I am afraid that I am weak-minded!"

"in addition……"

Before Nangong Kaige could say anything else, he reiterated: "My daughter has already married the fourth prince!"

Nangong Kaige frowned.

He also heard that Long Guang seemed to be politely rejecting him.

But after rolling his eyes a few times, he still persisted: "Uncle Long, do you want to say that you have a closer relationship with my fourth brother now, so it's hard to support me anymore, right?"

Long Guangzheng did not answer.

It’s the default!

He said it for this reason, isn't the meaning he wants to express obvious?

His son-in-law Nangong Yuan was also one of the current princes.

Naturally, he is also qualified to compete for the throne!

If he doesn't help his son-in-law, why should he help a prince who has disappointed him countless times?

However……

"Uncle Long, I know what you are thinking!"

Nangong Kaige didn't know what he was thinking. Instead of being disappointed, he slapped his thigh and said happily: "You are afraid that after I ascend to the throne of God, I will burn bridges and suppress my fourth brother, your son-in-law, right?"

Long Guangzheng was speechless again.

He now seriously doubts whether the second prince Nangong Kaige has become stupid in the ten years since he went to the border of the Western Region.

He spoke so clearly, but he still didn't understand. He was also drunk.

"Uncle Long, my fourth brother will definitely not be able to achieve anything. Based on what I knew about him ten years ago, he probably has no intention of competing for the throne. Therefore, whether it is for the sake of the general's palace or the future of my fourth brother

Consider that your support for me is the wisest choice!"

Not knowing what Long Guangzheng was thinking, Nangong Kaige kept chattering: "Don't worry, as long as you help me win the throne, after I ascend the throne, not only will the General's Palace become the largest force in the empire, but I will also make my fourth brother a prince!"

"

"As for the other princes and princesses, except for my fifth brother Nangong Qin and my younger sister Nangong Mingyue, everyone else will be relegated to the cold palace or sent to the frontier!"

"Cough, cough... Second Prince, I'm a little tired and need a good rest. If there's nothing else, I won't send you far away!"

Long Guangzheng could no longer talk to Nangong Kaige, so he immediately issued an eviction order on an excuse.

He was startled just now, fearing that Nangong Kaige would attack him.

But after testing for so long, he finally understood!

The second prince Nangong Kaige is a complete idiot.

This kind of person still wants to return to the center of the power whirlpool like the imperial capital to show his ambitions. It is simply ridiculous!

"this……"

Nangong Kaige frowned slightly.

He finally realized now that he seemed to have made a mistake.

Although he has an upright character, he is not so stupid that he does not understand the ways of the world at all.

Just now, he was just eager to express what he was thinking, and because he was too subjective and didn't care about other people's situations, he ignored some very important reasons.

It wasn't until Long Guangzheng issued the eviction order that he suddenly realized.

Perhaps, in the ten years since he was away from the imperial capital, everything has changed.

The fourth brother in his impression who was ignorant and too afraid of him to resist any resistance should have grown up now and has his own dreams and ambitions.

In addition, he married the daughter of General Long Guangzheng, so he probably wanted to compete for the throne.

"Haha, it seems that this prince is naive!"

After realizing this, Nangong Kaige suddenly laughed at himself, "The world is changing. It seems that in the ten years since this prince has been away from the imperial capital, everything has changed!"

In this regard, Long Guangzheng just remained silent.

However, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, Nangong Kaige understood.

"In that case, farewell!"

Nangong Kaige no longer lingered, stood up, hugged Long Guangzheng's fists, and strode out.

It seemed that he was walking like a tiger, but deep in his eyes, there was a flash of deep self-blame and regret.

After he realized that something was wrong, many things that he had previously ignored were finally realized in hindsight.

For example, ten years ago, when Long Guangzheng suggested that he go to the border of the Western Regions to join the army and build up his own capital to compete for the throne, he repeatedly tried to push his daughter towards her.

At that time, he definitely didn't think about the other party's intentions carefully, and he stupidly refused sternly every time.

Only now do I understand that maybe Long Guangzheng wanted to use this relationship to help him compete for the throne.

But now, Long Guangzheng's daughter has married his fourth brother, so it is naturally impossible to help him anymore.

And his fourth brother has grown up, so naturally he is not willing to succumb to others and wants to compete for the throne.

Therefore, no matter from which angle you look at it, Long Guangzheng cannot help him.

Thinking back to his high-spirited appearance and those self-righteous words just now, he wished he could just bump into a pillar.

Others clearly regarded him as a fool, but he foolishly thought that everything was just as he imagined.

Without self-awareness to this extent, there is probably no one except him.

He couldn't even imagine how Long Guangzheng and the generals were secretly laughing at him when he was scolding the Fang chieftain and giving advice.
