Meng Xuancong's face was gloomy and ashen, "Damn it, hasn't he already gone to practice immortality?"
Meng Xuanlang's sudden return caught him off guard.
The originally arranged plan was also shelved. He also knew that his father did not like him, but as a seven-foot man, he knew better what should be done.
"How can I be willing to give up the throne?" Since ancient times, the elders have been established rather than the young, and heirs have been established rather than concubines. The throne was originally his.
But my father liked his younger brother Meng Xuanlang.
Originally, he thought his opportunity had come after Meng Xuanlang went to cultivate immortality, but today he learned that he had come back.
His face suddenly darkened and his eyes were cold, "No, we absolutely cannot ask him to inherit the throne. How can I get nothing?"
Still not reconciled.
It was originally his own thing, but it ended up needing to be handed over to others for one reason or another. How could he get his wish?
"Although I, Meng Xuancong, am not a great sage in ancient times, I consider myself extraordinary." Meng Xuancong felt that he could govern the Western Shu Kingdom well.
Although his father did not like him and did not want to pass the throne to him.
But what if we don’t strive for some things?
If you don’t fight for it, you won’t even have a chance of failure. If you fight for it, you may succeed, so...
He will never back down.
"Father, I will prove you wrong. You like your second brother, but your second brother doesn't know how to govern the country at all. He just wants to cultivate immortality!" Meng Xuancong murmured to himself.
Then he said: "Come here, tell all the secret guards to step up their training. I don't want to see tragic results."
That location.
Meng Xuancong also wants to compete.
No, that was his position, he just wanted to get back what belonged to him.
You, Meng Xuanlang, have already gone to practice immortality and you still have to compete with yourself for that position. Why do you want to fight for it? "Since ancient times, I, Meng Xuancong, have occupied the position of eldest son. Why can't that position be mine?"
He is not convinced!
As the eldest son, he already had a lot to shoulder, but now he was suddenly told that he was not destined for that position, and all his efforts were in vain.
Moreover, the wealth and honor in the world have also left him.
Meng Xuancong didn't want to be killed.
"The eldest prince, the second prince has now returned to the palace. I am afraid that your majesty will be summoned to the palace soon. With your majesty's current condition, I am afraid that your time is running out." A scribe said.
The situation is at its most critical juncture.
From the moment they, the scribes and scholars, entered the eldest prince's mansion, they were destined to be in a situation where everyone would be prosperous and everyone would suffer losses.
They are still worried.
"But I, the prince, can't stop him from entering the palace." Meng Xuancong's expression darkened. It was true that he was the eldest prince, but he was just a prince.
After all, he is not an emperor.
He can't control the rest of the world, and he can't control it so broadly.
This is a bit embarrassing.
Suddenly, another scribe suggested: "First prince, why don't we give the second prince to... then you will be the only prince in Xishu, and your Majesty will have to pass it on to you no matter what."
This is tantamount to forcing a woman to have a baby.
But Meng Xuancong felt that this strategy was a bit clumsy.
His younger brother had already gone to cultivate immortality before. Even if he didn't achieve much, he would definitely have the means to save his life. Besides, his family was not the only one with the most power in the Imperial City of Western Shu.
Many veterans in the army loved his second brother very much.
He said he would help.
So his chances of winning are not good and this is not a good choice.
"Keep thinking, there will always be a way to deal with it." Meng Xuancong muttered: "Everyone, I won't hide the matter from everyone anymore. We are all grasshoppers on the same rope, so we can't take it lightly."
A little carelessness will lead to disaster.
If you succeed, you will enjoy glory and wealth.
But if it doesn’t work, how can we enjoy the glory and wealth?
"Don't worry, eldest prince, I will understand later."
"Since the day we entered the eldest prince's residence, we have understood that we will only serve the eldest prince in this life."
"The sudden appearance of the second prince is no accident. His Majesty must have sent someone to summon him, otherwise the day lilies would have been cold by the time he returned from practicing immortality for ten or eight years."
"The key is to prevent His Majesty from passing the throne to the second prince."
"The worst possible outcome is the opposite."
"..."
There are people who speak all kinds of things.
Many people say what they say to me, but their opinions are not unanimous, and it is difficult to convince other people.
That's why this matter seems particularly embarrassing.
Even Meng Xuancong couldn't make up his mind for a while.
It seems that the methods everyone proposes are feasible, but none of them work.
It feels a bit paradoxical.
"My eldest prince, why don't you invite a great scholar to discuss something?" Someone suddenly suggested: "That great scholar is our number one scholar in Xishu this time. Your Majesty will kiss the great scholar. I discovered it when the Japanese ministers and others got to know each other some time ago.
He admired the eldest prince quite a lot, so..."
"Oh?" Meng Xuancong was stunned, "So that great bachelor is now one of ours?"
"That's right." The man replied.
These words made Meng Xuancong a little excited, with a satisfied smile on his face, "If that's the case, then send someone to invite the bachelor to come to my house to talk to me. With his current tendency of being favored by his father, he will definitely be able to help this prince."
A handful."
Everything seems to be worth it.
All have great benefits.
"That position is mine, and it can only be mine." Meng Xuancong thought silently in his heart, with a firm look on his face.
Since ancient times, the battle for the throne has been either your death or my death. If Meng Xuanlang is not dead, he will not feel at ease sitting on the throne. If he is not dead, Meng Xuanlang will not feel at ease sitting on the throne.
"Only one of us can survive, second brother, second brother, don't blame the elder brother for being cruel." Meng Xuancong thought silently in his heart.
How can it be done without killing people?
While he sent people to invite the new bachelor, he secretly made a plan, "I was not favored by my father. Now that he is seriously ill and his second brother is back, he will definitely announce that he will inherit the throne. When the time comes,
I have nothing left.”
You must seize the time to make arrangements.
Cultivation of immortality is illusory, and who can truly live forever?
For people like Meng Xuancong, the wealth and splendor in front of him is the most important. Once he reaches the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he will have a better chance of contacting immortality.
In the mansion.
Many scribes looked at Meng Xuancong excitedly. As long as the eldest prince raised his arms and called out, they would definitely respond.
When the time comes, even rebellion will be fine!
The glory and wealth are within reach. Isn't it just for the glory and wealth that they encourage Meng Xuancong like this?
It is true that wealth and wealth can be found in danger.
The Imperial City of Western Shu.
In a wealthy and luxurious mansion.
The eldest prince's man revealed his identity and was invited in, "Grand Bachelor, my master has invited me."
As he spoke, he handed over a letter.
That was a letter written by Meng Xuancong himself.
"Go back and report back to the eldest prince, and tell him that I will be there later." The bachelor said calmly: "I still need to make some preparations, so you can go back first."
After the guard left, he murmured: "Things are getting more and more interesting, haha! It's not in vain that I spent many days planning. It's time to reap the rewards. There shouldn't be any accidents this time."
Half an hour later.
Suddenly a guard came to report, "First Prince, the Grand Scholar of the East is here."
