Li Xiao had to be shocked. The Dayue ruled that the emperor's son would be a prince as soon as he was born, and then he could be promoted to the prince, and then he would be the prince, and the daughter would be named the county lord from birth and then the county

Lord, the highest is the princess. Today, Emperor Yongle Li Jia has twelve sons, and only five of them have been promoted to the prince, including the eldest and the fourth. As for the others, if you want to go further, you may have to wait.

The next emperor will only be promoted after he ascended the throne. Generally, when I am in power, I will not promote my son to be prince, unless this person is about to become the crown prince.

The joy of being named General of the Assistant Kingdom was instantly poured from the head to the feet by a basin of cold water. Has the father of the Dabao position been decided to pass it to the eldest brother?

"Come here, please come to the lobby for discussion!" Li Xiao's face was gloomy and ordered. Cui Yifu, Li Xiao's chief aide, had been in charge of Shangjing for more than half a year after Li Xiao left Shangjing. This year, he was the director of Shangjing.

Cui Yifu, who was fifty and fifty, was in a poor journey in the imperial examination and failed many times. In the end, he had to defect to his fellow villager. At that time, Deputy Prime Minister Wang Lin was a guest at the mansion. Later, he was recommended by Wang Lin to enter the mansion of the Fourth Prince.

After working in the mansion for more than ten years, he gradually emerged and became Li Xiao's chief aide, who relied heavily on him.

Cui Yifu's eight-legged articles are not done well and he can't write any rust articles or shocking poems, but this person has amazing judgment on the current situation and is cruel and decisive in his work. Li Xiao is his assistant.

Next, he slowly stood out from the dozen princes and became the boss's powerful competitor. More than ten years ago, the boss's position was unshakable.

"Fourth Master!" Cui Yifu hurried over. He was obviously just getting up, with a look of sleepiness on his face.

"Mr. Yifu, let's have breakfast together!" During the waiting period, Li Xiao had calmed down. On the small round table in front of him, there were four small plates. The girl who was serving was holding a bowl of steaming rice porridge.

Come up.

He picked up the bowl with his own hands, served a bowl of rice porridge for Cui Yifu, and placed it in front of him.

"The Fourth Master has ruined Cui!" Cui Yifu showed a look of gratitude on his thin face. He bowed deeply to Li Xiao. The person in front of him was his benefactor, and he had seen him from a miserable literati.

The position was given by the prince in front of him, and he could only do his best to send his benefactor to the chair at the highest point. Of course, Li Xiao's success is his own success.

Xiao climbed onto the chair, and his future was limitless.

Cui Yifu sat down and said with a smile: "On the way here, I heard from the guards that the Fourth Master had been named General of the Fuguo Kingdom. This was a great joy. Looking at Da Chu, there were only two generals of the Fuguo Kingdom. From today on,

Fourth Master, you can legitimately purify the army." The so-called purging of the army is naturally to arrange close friends into the army.

Li Xiao smiled bitterly, "Mr. Yifu. Where does the joy come from? I am the general of the Fuguo State, but my elder brother has been promoted to Prince. Do you think I am happy?"

Cui Yifu was shocked: "Prince?"

Li Xiao nodded, "Yes, Prince, who has been throughout the entire history of Dayue for hundreds of years, any prince who was appointed as a prince by the emperor will succeed in the end. Mr. Yifu, do you think I have no chance?"

Cui Yifu's face was grim and fell into deep thought. He grabbed a hand of his goatee with his left hand and held chopsticks in his right hand, but he unknowingly pulled the small dish in front of him, pulling the small dish in the small dish

I don't feel it everywhere.

Li Xiao looked at him quietly. He had encountered many difficulties before, but he had this person to give him guidance and made him suddenly realize. I hope this time will be the same.

With a sound, Cui Yifu poked the small plate in front of him. The plate turned over and made a crisp sound. Cui Yifu suddenly woke up from his thoughts, with a smile on his face.

"Fourth Master, it's okay!"

A light flashed in Li Xiao's eyes, "It's okay, sir, please make it clear."

Cui Yifu sighed, "Fourth Master, you have been going well in the past two years, and your strength has been chasing the uncle. After passing the border village slaughter case and this time the Mongol invasion, His Majesty the Emperor must be quite disappointed with the uncle.

It also made your power suddenly explode. Among the six ministries, you already had the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, and the border village slaughter case. After you took control of the Ministry of Works, and the Mongols invaded, you gained it again.

The actual control of the Ministry of War is the sixth Ministry of Dayue. You hold four departments in your hand. In the local area, the prosperous south is also under your control. Think about it, can Your Majesty the Emperor not worry?"

Li Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

"Now, the old man deliberately was injured and avoided the war. I believe that the Emperor is very clear about this. Although His Majesty is old, his wise and powerful are not as good as those of those years, and his skills are becoming more and more skillful in controlling people. Your initiative to seek war,

His Majesty the Emperor was very surprised, and there was no other suitable candidate. His Majesty the Emperor could only choose to go out of Beijing to supervise the war. You must be named General of the auxiliary country, and his hand reached into the army again, which made His Majesty the Emperor even more alert.

"Cui Yifu continued to analyze.

"Over the past year, you have been stepping forward step by step, and the uncle has been retreating repeatedly. His Majesty the Emperor is in poor health, so he can only maintain a situation of checks and balances between the great masters, so that the government can be stable. Any party has too much

A great advantage may cause turmoil, and the other side may take risks. Fourth Master, your strength is now beyond the old master, but the old man has been in charge of the Ministry of War for many years and has a far-reaching influence in the army, especially the Imperial Guard. This time, the Imperial Guard

The generals in the middle can be seen that although His Majesty changed several major generals to control the Jinwu Guard and the gatekeeper in his own hands, the Wu Guard was with Feng Congyi's general to go to war, which can also be seen as

He is from the Fourth Master, but the other nine guards still have control over the Great Master.”

"What do you mean?" Li Xiao asked.

"What if the old man feels there is no hope, what if he takes the risk? Even if he cannot succeed, can Dayue withstand such shocks?"

Li Xiao said excitedly: "You mean, is your father trying to stabilize your elder brother?"

"This is just one point, another point, I'm afraid there is also a warning, and the meaning of restraining the Fourth Master is in it. The old man is promoted to a prince and his influence on the government will greatly increase, and other people in the court who cannot understand the form will also look forward to it.

The eldest prince pounced on him, and in this way, you will be restrained from the Fourth Master, so that you cannot do whatever you want. After all, four of the six ministries are in our hands now!"

Li Xiao was in a good mood, "My father, hahaha!"

Cui Yifu smiled and said, "The Fourth Master doesn't have to worry about this matter. Those who can get promoted in power have not been determined by a name. In the end, it depends on the strength in their hands. And from this matter, it seems that

His Majesty the Emperor still has considerable confidence in his body. In recent years, there should be no major problems. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have made such arrangements, but would have used a thunderous blow to support him.

The heir he is interested in and completely marginalizes the heir's competitors, so that Dayue can be over-smoothed and avoid internal friction. This arrangement is what Your Majesty wants to take a look again. Therefore,

Fourth Master, the next few years will be the key!"

Li Xiao stood up excitedly and turned around in the room for several circles, "Mr. Yifu's words made me feel like I was clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, and I suddenly realized. How is my father's health? I can get accurate information, as long as I confirm my father's

If you are healthy, Mr. Yifu's speculation will be fully valid."

Cui Yifu smiled and said, "The Fourth Master has been awarded too much, but the Fourth Master suddenly heard about this and was in a mess. He couldn't think about the key points carefully. As long as the Fourth Master calmed down, he could naturally think through it. However, the Fourth Master was warm.

The doctor invited him to treat his majesty. It was really a masterpiece. With Wen Zhaolun's method, even if His Majesty is in poor health, he could drag the Fourth Master for a few years."

Li Xiao laughed, "Come on, ask the housekeeper to send ten pieces of brocade to Miss Nianyun. Well, I will also send the pearl bracelet sent by the Barbarian King from the south two years ago to Miss Nianyun."

The excited Li Xiao sat down and said, "I have replaced all the things on the table. I want to have a good drink with Mr. Yifu."

Cui Yifu smiled and said, "No need, Fourth Master, you still have important things to do today, but it's not appropriate to drink."

Li Xiaoqi said: "What important things are there to do today?"

Cui Yifu picked up the porridge bowl, "Second Master, you are now the general of the auxiliary country, and General Feng Congyi, who will be with you in the next year, is now the commander of the Wuwei. So, the first thing you do today is to inspect Wu.

Wei, then take Feng Congyi to visit General Guan!"

"General Guan is behind closed doors to thank guests, no one is seen, and the eldest brother is turned away. How can I be an exception?" Li Xiaoqi said.

"You are very different from the uncle. When the uncle meets General Guan, it is a private matter and is to win over him. General Guan will naturally disappear. You are the general of the auxiliary country now. General Guan can be said to be your immediate boss, and General Guan II

I had fought several battles with the Mongolian army ten years ago and had a lot of experience in fighting with the Mongolian people. In order to resist the invasion of the Mongolian people, you go and ask for advice. That is a business matter and a national event. How can General Guan close his door?

No? Although General Guan is a mature man, he will not be vague about national affairs. The Fourth Master's expedition this time represents the face of Da Yue and the military. If the Fourth Master is defeated, General Guan will be dissatisfied.

Therefore, when the Fourth Master goes here, General Guan will definitely meet you."

Li Xiao suddenly realized, "No wonder he had to bring Feng Congyi with him."

He gently knocked on the edge of the plate, "That's right!" Cui Yifu smiled. "Today's schedule is very tight, the Fourth Master must go out quickly."

Li Xiao smiled and picked up the porridge in front of him, and ate it in a few bites. Then he stood up and walked out with his head held high. Behind him, Cui Yifu smiled and watched Li Xiao leave. This benefactor, not greedy for money.

, he is not obsessed with sex, has a grove in his heart, and has great ambitions. Compared with the great prince Li Jian, he is indeed better than the great prince. If Da Yue really falls into his hands, he will inevitably have the opportunity to revive again.
