Compared to these two people, he felt that he was much inferior.
They came from the same era, but under current circumstances, it might be difficult for him and Zhou Chen to become friends.
No one knew that an unexpected person was welcomed into the prince's carriage.
The second prince, Li Chengze.
"Second brother paid a sudden visit. He probably didn't want to talk to me about our brotherhood, right?"
The prince looked at the second prince with an indifferent expression. No one else was present, and he no longer pretended.
The second prince smiled sarcastically: "Your Highness, you know very well why I am here. Now that my father is gone, I will not give up that position."
The prince said coldly: "I am the prince. When my father is gone, I will be the new emperor."
"Ha ha."
The second prince couldn't help laughing, "There is no one else here. Your Highness, please stop talking such nonsense. The prince is the prince, and the emperor is the emperor. Since ancient times, there have been too many princes who have not ascended to that position. How do you know that you will
Can it succeed?"
"So, you are here to declare war?"
"Do we still need to declare war? After fighting for so many years, we have long been fighting to the death for that position, right?"
The prince didn't say anything, which was regarded as acquiescence. The relationship between them was already a life-or-death battle. No matter who got into that position, they would not be able to let the other go.
When Emperor Qing was still there, they would not fight too fiercely, but now that Emperor Qing is dead and the throne is vacant, there is no room for relaxation between them. If they take action, it will definitely be a killing move.
"You came here just to say this?"
"of course not."
The second prince's face became very serious, instead of the lazy and carefree look of the past, he was just solemn.
"I'm fighting with you, no matter who wins in the end, I believe you and I have nothing to say, but if you and I fight and someone else takes advantage, I believe neither you nor I would like to see it, right?
"
The prince raised his eyebrows: "You mean the boss?
"I'm talking about Fan Xian."
"Fan Xian?"
The prince suddenly smiled: "Second brother, are you scared when you see Fan Xian taking over the inspection agency and controlling the internal treasury's financial rights?"
The second prince asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
The prince's smile froze for a moment. Fan Xian had indeed completely fallen out with the second prince. If the two of them fought, he would be very happy to see it. But as the second prince asked, Fan Xian took over the inspection institute. How could he?
Maybe not nervous.
"If Mingren doesn't tell secret words, what exactly do you want to say?"
The second prince said: "I admit that Fan Xian's power does make me nervous, but what scares me is Fan Xian's identity. Although he is an illegitimate son, he is indeed his father's son. It seems that he does not have the right to inherit, but
Look at the power and status he currently controls, including the Inspection Agency, the internal financial power, the son-in-law of the former prime minister, and the God of Poetry of the Qing Dynasty. If he wants that position, he may not be able to achieve it."
"Your Highness, please don't forget how Northern Qi was founded."
The prince's expression suddenly changed. The predecessor of Northern Qi was Northern Wei. At that time, Wei was the most powerful country in the world, but it was usurped by the Taizu of Northern Qi and took over the world.
People with foreign surnames can achieve this by relying on their power. Fan Xian also has royal blood, and coupled with his power, just thinking about it makes him shudder.
"Also, as Si Gu Jian said before leaving, he supported Fan Xian, and our Qing Kingdom no longer has a grand master. If Fan Xian really wants to compete for that position, you and I may not be able to do it together.
He is his opponent."
"Even if he doesn't have this idea, compared to Chengping who is related to the Fan family, do you think he will support you or Chengping?"
The prince's hand trembled slightly. Yes, Li Chengping was related to the Fan family, and his relationship with Fan Xian was not as good as he thought. He had also done many things behind his back. If Fan Xian knew about it,
There will definitely be no harmony between them.
"You want to join forces with me and deal with Fan Xian first?"
"Yes, only if we solve Fan Xian's problem first can we fight with peace of mind."
The prince fell silent. The second prince was his long-standing rival, and he did not have a deep grudge against Fan Xian. Logically speaking, he should deal with the second prince first.
But the second prince was right. There was too much uncertainty about Fan Xian's existence. Fan Xian controlled too much power. Lin Ruofu, who was once the most powerful minister, was Fan Xian's father-in-law. If Fan Xian had other intentions, the consequences would be
It's simply unimaginable.
"If I agree to help you deal with Fan Xian, what good will it do to me? Fan Xian has become big, but as long as I get to that position, I will have many ways to deal with him in the future. You are more of a threat to me than him.
big."
"Ha, Li Chengqian, we have been fighting for so many years. You don't have to pretend in front of me. You are already attracted, so why bother to use this method? Tell me, what are your conditions?"
The prince then showed a smile.
