But no matter what his thoughts are, isn't he also thinking about finding the other person now? Even if he achieves what he wants, it doesn't matter what this person is here to do.
The two people, who had their own thoughts, exchanged warm greetings, and then walked almost side by side towards the side room where the minister had his office. However, if you observe carefully, you will still find that Shen Ao is always half a step behind Rui Bulotong. This should be With respect, Shen Ao naturally understands these rules.
This scene was also seen by many officials from the Household Department. There was envy, jealousy, jealousy and even secret hatred. For a while, everyone had different thoughts.
But it cannot be denied that when Shen Ao returned to the Ministry of Household Affairs, his status and status had been greatly improved. He was no longer the young prince who everyone wanted to take advantage of before.
...
Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Since King Xiang came back from the morning court, he had smashed a lot of things. Two maids were even kicked to the ground because they did not control their strength when pressing his legs. Later, they were summoned by the eunuch chief Wang Yutuo. Go down, the stick will be at your service.
King Xiang indeed had fire in his heart.
I originally thought that Shen Ao would be severely punished for deceiving the ministers this time. Faced with the demands of important ministers, even his father could not do much to protect him.
As long as Shen Ao is severely punished, Daqian Bank will undoubtedly collapse, and he will be able to gain a lot from it.
But who would have thought that Shen Ao actually fulfilled his promise, went to the barbarian land, defeated the barbarians, and forced the other party to cease the war and accept peace.
Others can be faked, but the credentials cannot be fake. Let’s not mention that if Shen Ao does this, once it is proven to be fake, he will not be able to survive in the world. Is it just that the father is so easy to deceive? If the country If there was something wrong with the book, why would he bring it to the court for everyone to read?
"Is this Shen Ao really that powerful? Even the invincible barbarian soldiers are no match for him? In this case, how can we restrain him?" King Xiang was sulking there, his expression extremely ugly.
In the past, Shen Ao had taken advantage of him and even smashed his car. It is no exaggeration to say that Shen Ao was the pain in King Xiang's heart, the kind of pain that would not be happy if he did not kill.
If Shen Ao doesn't fall, his reputation as Prince Xiang will be ugly. When others talk about it from time to time, no matter how much respect they have on the surface, they must be dissatisfied in their hearts.
Prince Xiang, who couldn't even deal with a hereditary duke, still wanted to be the crown prince?
Do you still want to go to Jun Lin Tian Xia in the future?
Shen Ao's existence is like a flag against himself. The higher it is fluttered, the more uncomfortable he will feel. Over time, his prestige will be greatly lost, and it will become more difficult for him to control more power. The presence of a firm stumbling block made him furious.
"This Shen Ao, why don't you die?"
"And the barbarians, haven't they always claimed that the barbarian cavalry is invincible? Why can't they even deal with a young man, and they were dealt with instead? They are really a bunch of useless fools."
Prince Xiang was still cursing in his heart, scolding others for their mediocrity and incompetence, but he didn't think that his own abilities were also mediocre. Otherwise, why would he need to put the matter of cleaning up Shen Ao on others?
King Xiang didn't even know that with Shen Ao's return, all the advantages he had taken advantage of in Daqian Bank would be spit out, and he would have to pay a heavy price.
...
Prince Qing's Mansion.
Prince Qing did not smash anything, but his face was as deep as water. He still asked all the servants in the palace to be careful, for fear that if they said something wrong or did something wrong and disturbed His Highness, they would be punished.
Perhaps because of his lameness, King Qing is more mature. He has seen too many unsatisfactory things in life and is already used to it.
But Shen Ao's defeat of the barbarians still made him feel sad and angry, overwhelmed and filled with rage.
For a long time, King Qing had been trying to find ways to make good friends with the barbarians in the hope that they would support him in his fight for the throne of Emperor Daqian. For this, he was willing to pay some price.
It is no exaggeration to say that behind the former crown prince there is the King of Jin, behind King Xiang there is the King of Qi, and behind the King of Qing there are the barbarians.
Although the barbarians did not play any substantive role, and the barbarians never publicly stated that they would support King Qing's remarks, this did not prevent him from thinking this way.
But this being who he relied on as a strong backing was defeated and destroyed by Shen Ao. How could he not be angry, angry or annoyed?
I was still thinking that as long as we have a good relationship with the barbarians, the barbarians can take some actions on the border to support themselves at critical times. But now, they have been defeated by Shen Ao and have signed a treaty of peaceful coexistence. How can you count on them if something happens? How can you count on them?
Thinking that his greatest support was gone, Prince Qing couldn't help but feel helpless. He seemed to see that the emperor's throne was getting further and further away from him.
"Your Highness, Master Fan is here." Just when King Qing was still thinking about something and felt his heart was filled with despair, someone came from below to report. Then he shot Fan Shitong towards Zuo Pu and strode into the main hall.
As Prince Qing's teacher and staunch supporter of Prince Qing, Fan Shitong has the power to enter Prince Qing's palace at any time. So when he appeared in front of Prince Qing, the other slaves did not feel anything was wrong. On the contrary , everyone retreated in a wise manner, leaving the space completely to the two of them.
"Teacher is here." Although he was angry, he still couldn't forget the etiquette he should have. Prince Qing stood up and bowed to Fan Shitong.
"Your Highness, please take a seat." Fan Shitong nodded lightly, and then bowed to Prince Qing who was sitting next to him. The front is the courtesy of master and disciple, and the back is the way of king and minister. These are the rules.
Afterwards, the two of them sat together. After that, Fan Shitong noticed the livid look on Prince Qing's face, and shook his head gently. As a student, he still didn't have enough energy to cultivate his qi, and he still needed to practice more to become a master.
"Your Highness, although Duke Zhongguo defeated the barbarians this time beyond everyone's expectation, which seems to be disadvantageous to us, it is not an opportunity." As soon as he opened his mouth, Fan Shitong said in a non-stop manner.
Prince Qing, who had no illusions about the future, was suddenly confused when he heard Fan Shitong's words, and his whole body suddenly froze. That was because he was too excited, "Old...teacher, you What did you just say?"
Knowing that Prince Qing had heard clearly, he just didn't quite understand. Fan Shitong then smiled and explained with a confident smile, "Your Highness, the barbarian is brave and fierce, but this does not mean that he cannot be defeated. On the battlefield, it has never been the case that whoever is stronger will win. The less will defeat the more, the weak will defeat the strong. This history has existed since ancient times. This time the barbarians were defeated. There is nothing to be discouraged, as long as the main force is still there. .Besides, now that the barbarians have been defeated, it is actually a good opportunity for us."
"Oh, what do you mean by this, teacher? Please help students clarify their doubts." Prince Qing had already given up his identity as a prince, and now he looked like a primary school student asking for advice.
Fan Shitong was very pleased with Prince Qing's attitude. He came here this time to clear up his doubts, and naturally he would not hide some of his words. "Your Highness, I think barbarians have always been arrogant, and they don't look at other people in their eyes."
. With such an attitude, even if they form an alliance with us, they will still have to occupy the dominant position. As a result, it will be detrimental to us over time. We can only let them take what they want. But now
, they were defeated, and their strong situation was broken, which is not a bad thing."
"Since ancient times, it has been said that it is difficult to provide help in times of need. Isn't this the time when the barbarians need help from others? If we don't change our original intention and continue to help them and form an alliance with them, not only will it be easier to gain favor, I'm afraid we will take the initiative
Quan can also fight for one or two, what do you think, Your Highness?"
To be worthy of being the leader of hundreds of officials, Fan Shitong does have his own abilities. He can turn unfavorable things into advantages. This ability is not comparable to that of a young boy like Prince Qing.
Prince Qing was still groggy at first, but now he became much more energetic, and there was a little more luster in his eyes. "Teacher, you are saying that we cannot break the line of barbarians. Not only that,
Do you want to strengthen contact?"
"That's right." Fan Shitong nodded with a teachable look in his eyes. "This time the barbarians were defeated, but not by our Dagan. You must know that this time your Majesty did not give that boy a soldier.
Pawns should not be regarded as Da Gan after having achieved victory. So seriously speaking, the barbarians made the mistake of underestimating the enemy and lost at the hands of Duke Zhong. And except for Duke Zhong, Da Gan was led by other generals.
In a battle with the barbarians, the outcome is still unknown. Then you think, if we can help the barbarians to deal with Duke Zhongguo, wouldn’t we have helped them overthrow their biggest obstacle, and will they still not thank us?”
"Sis!"
Prince Qing took a breath of air and looked at Fan Shitong with surprised eyes. At this moment, he felt that there seemed to be a bright road in front of him that could lead directly to heaven. "The teacher is right, the students are narrow-minded."
"Haha, it's just that you have experienced few things. But remember, if you encounter setbacks in the future, don't be discouraged. You should see more benefits to yourself from what happened and make good use of it. In this way, opportunities will
It will appear.”
"Yes, what the teacher taught me is unclear. That's it, I will immediately arrange for someone to visit the barbarian in the post house to deepen the relationship between the two parties and tell the other party the teacher's thoughts." King Qing also made a decision.
Having already come into contact with the barbarians, of course we must find ways to stabilize this relationship instead of changing our minds whenever we encounter difficulties. How can we do things well if we have no perseverance in doing things?
