In the first month of the year in Beijing, the temperature is a little warmer.
When it is cloudy, it returns to the cold and cold scene.
Although there was a stove in the room, Xiao Chen's heart suddenly felt cold.
Ever since he put on purple clothes, his popularity and prestige have been rising all the way. But as Mr. Wang said, anything good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Before, when I was just messing around, I couldn't get this kind of sand out of my eyes.
Now, when I am ready to assist the emperor and jointly govern the world, if I don't resolutely fight back against my behavior, how can I be worthy of the purple clothes on my body?
"What Mr. Wang said is not good, where does it come from? The imperial court, or myself?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask.
Wang Changlian held the tea bowl in his hand and smiled lightly: "I have both."
"I would like to hear the details." Xiao Chen said.
Twisting his waist, Wang Changlian adjusted his sitting posture: "The emperor has great talents and great plans throughout his life, and he has been thinking about the court and the country all his life. In his mind, two things are important. One is to promote the country's prestige and expand its territory. This has been the emperor's life.
Practice it. Another point is the battle for the throne in the future."
"The battle for the direct throne?" Xiao Chen was a little puzzled when he heard this, "The prince has overseen the country for many years and is already the heir to the throne. What is there to fight for?"
Wang Changlian picked up the tea bowl and took a sip: "Although King Han and King Zhao have been demoted, they are princes after all. As long as the prince does not take the throne for a day, they will have a chance. And Brother Xiao, as the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand, will definitely
It will cause them to fight, and your position may be directly related to their future."
"How can I? If they want to compete in the world, they should compete for the emperor's favor." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Qilin Ziyi is the emperor's favor for you. If I win you, doesn't that mean I have won the emperor's favor? I want to ask, if you were given a choice, which prince would you stand for?" Wang Changlian
road.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but be startled: "Why did Mr. Wang suddenly ask this question today? I am assisting the emperor. Whoever the emperor faces, I will face. As for the three of them, I don't care who is in charge of the world in the end. As long as they are not fighting for the world.
It would be fine if wars broke out and the people suffered."
"So, Brother Xiao's current position is that of the prince?"
Xiao Chen nodded: "The emperor made him the prince, and he will inherit the throne in the future. If he supports others, it will inevitably cause war. This is not a scene I want to see."
Wang Changlian laughed: "Brother Xiao, how much do you know about the prince?"
"I've never met him and don't know him well. I just heard that he is honest and honest, and he always adheres to Confucianism in governing the country." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"For so many years, whether it is the King of Han or the King of Zhao, the conspiracy and frame-up against the prince has never stopped. Being able to face the joint attacks of the two at the same time, he still remains undefeated, and has an excellent reputation among officials. Brother Xiao believes that,
Is he really so loyal on the surface?" Wang Changlian smiled, but the words in his mouth were quite meaningful.
Xiao Chen picked up the kettle and added a little more to Wang Changlian's tea bowl: "To be honest, I have never paid much attention to the prince. However, he has always remained undefeated in the open and secret battles for the throne. He is definitely not an ordinary person. The most important thing is that I have never paid attention to him.
What’s more, he is also born with a disability, and to be able to reach this point is definitely not an ordinary person.”
"Hahaha", Wang Changlian laughed, "Brother Xiao's words are quite pertinent. In my opinion, apart from his own physical condition, the prince's thoughtfulness is as thorough as yours, brother Xiao."
Xiao Chen was even more confused by these words.
In the final analysis, I am just a captain of the Dongchang School. The prince is the crown prince, and he is the heir to the throne. What is wrong with Mr. Wang today that he insists on comparing me with him?
He couldn't help scratching his head and laughing: "Mr. Wang, what exactly do you want to say today? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen to you."
"I want to say that in the Ming Dynasty, the prince has always been the first person under the emperor. Now, your rise has slightly overshadowed the prince, and he will not feel comfortable."
"You want to say that the prince will try every means to target me?" Xiao Chen was a little surprised, as if he didn't believe his ears.
"I'm just guessing. I don't dare to draw any conclusions without real evidence." Wang Changlian said seriously.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, picked up a piece of charcoal and threw it into the stove.
"I am just a captain of the Dongchang School. I am a minister who helps the emperor stabilize the court and consolidate the world. If the prince is angry with me because of a purple dress, I will really look down on him." Xiao Chen said lightly.
Staring at Xiao Chen, Wang Changlian pondered for a moment, and then said: "If he really wants to target you, and the emperor is undecided and cannot protect you, what will you do?"
"What should I do?" A smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face again: "I will still keep his legitimate position, but I will make him convinced."
"What if the emperor prefers him?" Wang Changlian asked again.
Xiao Chen's waist straightened suddenly: "I have nothing to begin with. Even if the emperor takes off my purple clothes, I will still torture the prince until he is convinced."
Wang Changlian stopped talking and smiled happily.
Ming Chengzu was a man of great talent and strategy, and would not be confused about right and wrong in such matters.
Even if he prepares for the worst, with Xiao Chen's skills, no one in the court can control him.
Xiao Chen is his brother, and Wang Changlian does not want to see his brother being manipulated and bullied by others.
However, after hearing what Xiao Chen said just now, Wang Changlian felt completely relieved.
As long as Xiao Chen doesn't compromise, it doesn't matter if the other party is the prince. If he wants to give Xiao Chen some shoes to wear, then he can wear these shoes for himself.
There are still father and son soldiers going into battle. Faced with such conspiracy and conspiracy, what if brothers go into battle together?
Thinking of this, Wang Changlian looked at Xiao Chen with a smile: "You can't accept things like the real estate of the Ministry of Industry, but you still have to go to the normal entertainment with the officials."
"There is strength in numbers?" Xiao Chen chuckled and instantly understood what Wang Changlian meant.
"Don't you feel that if you participate in the entertainment, it will be difficult to deal with the other party if there is a case?" Wang Changlian smiled.
Xiao Chen dug out another sweet potato from the ashes, patted the dust off, split it into two, and handed one piece to Wang Changlian and the other to Xiao Yu.
"Towards my own people, I, Xiao Chen, am very kind. But when it comes to official entertainment, I will also make my way according to the circumstances. Please rest assured about this, Mr. Wang."
"Okay, if you say that, I have nothing to worry about. It's getting late, and Xiao Yu can't miss his homework. I'll say goodbye." Wang Changlian stood up.
"Don't be in a hurry, sir. I'll be with you. I just have to go to Li An's Shangshu Mansion for a small matter."
