Undecided when the opportunity arises, without clear decision-making
Prince Chun's Mansion.
It’s still the hut in the front yard.
It's still the little couch by the window.
There was still a pot of tea on the small table, and the tea was already boiling on the small stove, but His Highness Prince Chun was not in the mood to drink tea at all.
Mr. Lu was making tea while listening to His Royal Highness Prince Chun talk about the situation of today's morning court.
After Lu Chenghong finished speaking, he slowly drank a cup of tea, then stroked his beard and said, "Your Highness, actually this is an opportunity."
"Opportunity?" Lu Chenghong frowned.
"The fourth prince took this opportunity to offer to lead troops again, which is wonderful. Your Majesty is hesitant at this time. Your Highness can suggest a two-pronged approach."
"A two-pronged approach?"
"While negotiating peace, we will send troops at the same time." Mr. Lu said, "Your Highness can also take this opportunity to take charge of the troops."
"To command soldiers?" Prince Chun was surprised: "If I propose to command soldiers, I may arouse suspicion."
"Your Highness, if you don't command the army, won't you arouse suspicion?" Mr. Lu said: "Your Majesty is not in good health now. In case... Even if His Majesty has no intention of becoming a powerful person, he still needs to protect himself."
"Everyone knows that I just want to be an idle prince and support the crown prince's succession, so there is no need to protect myself."
"What if another prince succeeds to the throne?"
"hiss……"
His Royal Highness Prince Chun has always shown support for the crown prince's succession. He can be regarded as the prince's party, but if the one who inherits the throne is not the prince...
The natal family of the second prince's mother is a wealthy family in Guanzhong. They have been in the family for nearly a thousand years. No matter who becomes the emperor, they must give their family face. If the second prince wants to compete for the throne, it is not impossible.
The background of Lao Wu Lao Liu is also very profound, and his mother's family is very powerful.
Of course, His Majesty the Emperor has more than six sons, but the other princes are still young and are basically unlikely to be involved in this.
The fourth prince is the most powerful one to compete for the throne. Not only does he have Duke Ji behind him, but he himself is both civil and military. In terms of ability alone, he is definitely more suitable to inherit the throne than the eldest prince.
They have money, power, and soldiers.
As for His Royal Highness Prince Chun himself, among the many princes, he has the worst background. He has no money, no power, and no soldiers.
His Royal Highness King Chun is not without ambition, but he just does not have the strength.
When it comes to the throne, as long as it is not the crown prince who succeeds to the throne, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne, he, a half-hearted princeling, will look uncomfortable.
Especially since he has no background at all, you have no worries about dealing with him.
Even if you want to kill a chicken and scare a monkey, it's better to attack him first.
But having said that, once he proposes to take charge of the army, it is equivalent to jumping out directly. Unless he is the one who inherits the throne, he will definitely die and there will be no way out.
"This matter still needs to be considered."
Prince Chun could not make up his mind for a while.
Such a big thing requires caution.
After His Royal Highness King Chun left, Mr. Lu took off the teapot from the small stove, poured himself a cup of tea, and sighed softly: "It's impossible to make a decision at the last minute."
The next morning at court, His Majesty the Emperor was sitting on the Dragon Throne as if nothing was wrong. The civil and military officials saw that the Emperor was okay, and after a few false greetings, they continued to quarrel.
Seeing the main warlord and the two factions quarreling with red faces, His Highness King Chun gritted his teeth and went out to play: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
His Majesty the Emperor raised his half-opened eyelids slightly: "Speak."
"I think we can use a two-pronged approach, sending people to negotiate peace and sending troops north to show the power of our military."
As soon as he said these words, the courtiers were slightly stunned.
If Yang Xuan were here, I'm afraid His Highness Prince Chun would be slapped on the head.
"Your head is so hot. If you say this in this situation, it doesn't mean you have offended both parties at once."
Whether they are pro-war or pro-peace faction, they are all based on their own interests. Do they really think that these people are serving the country and the people?
The main militant faction is eager to fight. If they don't fight, how can they use their strength? For the past hundred years, they have been ridden by the civil servant group. If they can take advantage of this opportunity to get military power in their hands, they will not be able to fly as high as the sky.
, the vastness of the sea depends on the leaping fish.
The civil servant group naturally understands the truth, so they would rather lose money and settle the matter. As long as there is no fight, they can continue to make money safely.
They don’t have to pay out of their own pockets anyway.
If according to what His Highness King Chun said, if generals are sent to lead the troops north, the civil servant group will definitely not be willing to do so, and they will make it impossible for these rough guys to stand up.
And what he said was that he would not only send troops but also negotiate for peace. What if the wolves really retreated after losing money? This group of generals would have no excuse and would have to hand over their military power quickly?
Therefore, His Highness Prince Chun’s suggestion is purely Zhu Bajie looking at himself in the mirror, he is not a human being inside and out.
No, after the courtiers were quiet for a short time, they suddenly became angry and began to criticize His Highness Prince Chun.
Of course, for the sake of his reputation as the third prince, his words were quite tactful, but inside and outside, he was saying that His Highness Prince Chun was ignorant, so don't get involved.
His Highness Prince Chun's face turned red with shame. After the court, he didn't even go to the household department and went straight to Zhuque Street.
There was no one to talk to about the depression in his heart, so he could only talk to Yang Xuan. After all, chatting with him was quite relaxing, and he always had some unexpected ideas. Ask him, maybe he would have a good idea.
Nowadays, Yang Xuan is in charge of the main store on Zhuque Street, while Shopkeeper Zhou is in the Tasting Room. After all, the dishes there need to be carefully crafted. With Shopkeeper Zhou as an expert on hand, there will be no problems with the dishes.
Today's early adopter restaurants are very popular places with dignitaries. The decoration is stylish and atmospheric, and the dishes are not available elsewhere. This place is not a place where you can come just when you want. You have to make a reservation in advance. Now you can make a reservation for more than three days in advance.
, basically you have to make an appointment ten or eight days in advance.
When Yang Xuan saw His Royal Highness Prince Chun, he showed a smile: "Brother Lu, you actually came to me free. Could it be that the war in the north has improved?"
His Royal Highness King Chun waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about the court situation. I have been very worried recently, not only about official matters, but also family matters."
"Oh? Can you tell me something?"
Then His Royal Highness King Chun told his current situation. Of course, he was not talking about the fight for the throne, but about family instead.
Yang Xuan rubbed his chin and thought for a while and said: "Since you are not the eldest son and the other brothers are so powerful, let's not fight. At worst, we can create a new world by ourselves. Good men are ambitious in all directions. The world is so big, why bother
If we have to keep an eye on the old man’s little fortune, why don’t we earn our own share of it?”
His Royal Highness Chun Wang was startled, as if he was given a wake-up call. Although what Yang Xuan said was not very suitable for his current situation, his thoughts immediately made His Highness Chun Wang jump out of this circle.
Why must everything be focused on the succession to the throne?
The worst that can happen is that you will become a vassal by asking for it. If you want to seize the throne, go and fight for it yourself. I will find a clean place and earn my own share of the family business, so I won't play with you anymore.
In this case, whoever of you inherits the throne will not be able to find trouble on your own head.
Thinking back again, Prince Yan might have thought the same way at the beginning. You go and fight for the throne. I will support my troops and respect myself. It would be good for anyone to be the emperor, so you have to give me face.
His Royal Highness Prince Chun cannot win the military power, so I can go further away.
Yang Xuan's casual words made His Highness Prince Chun think clearly.
