The words of the father and son of the Qiu family reached the hearts of the three adults, and the three of them invariably picked up the tea bowl and invariably blew the tea leaves and tasted the fragrant tea. After the three of them put down the tea bowl, Wu Xueren was the first to speak:

"Marquis Wei, you are a palace attendant, and you know more about King De's character than we do. Just like King De, don't you feel blush when you put him on the throne of the prince? ”

Hearing this, Tao Zhutu scolded and said

"Master Wu, why do you keep teaching you repeatedly? How many times have you choked back when you entered the house today? Why is the mouth still so fast? “

Lan Ziyi smiled at Wu Xueren and said:

"If you talk about conduct, Lord Wu, you can be a servant of the ministry, why can't King De be a prince?"

Wu Xueren was choked by the two of them, and he suffered a dumb loss again, so he could only shut up and sulk with hatred. Wang Xiang, who was sitting next to him, said:

"The crown prince already has a son, not only has a son but also has a prosperous son and grandchildren, since the prince has a successor, how can he mention King De as the emperor's younger brother?"

Qiu Xiao said straightly:

"The reason why the prince's children and grandchildren can prosper is that he is the prince, and if the prince is not the prince, then it makes no sense for him to have more children and grandchildren. Supporting King Lide as the emperor's younger brother is to give the prince the opportunity to continue to be the prince. ”

Wang Xiang said with a sigh of relief:

"Even if we can understand what you said, what about the other adults in the court? Will they understand? ”

Lan Ziyi took Wang Xiang's words and replied:

"It's enough for you to understand, they don't need to understand."

Who knew that Lan Ziyi's words came out, and Li Cheng, who had been sitting at the end and had not spoken, actually spoke, and he sighed in an almost pleading tone:

"Wei Hou is good at arguing, and he drew a big cake for me in one sentence. But no matter how big the pie Weihou paints, it can't cover up the fact that you are trespassing, how can there be a practice of establishing the emperor's younger brother in the Taiping world? You're pushing me into the fire pit! ”

After that, Li Cheng stood up and complained bitterly with tears in his eyes:

"Two adults, think about it, what are the identities of the three of us? We are all Jinshi in the provincial examination! As the saying goes, there is no first, there is no second, originally all the Taoist scholars did not like each other, Zhang Mingyue took charge of the government and vigorously promoted the Jiangdong scholars, the provincial scholars, the people are not united, the two are excluded, our days in the DPRK are getting more and more sad, these days Li Zhongtang has been degraded because of things, without Li Zhongtang in the future, who can still speak for the scholars of other provinces? Now Wei Hou has asked me and the two adults to present this kind of concert to the military plane, what is the difference between this and hanging beams? ”

Lan Ziyi looked at Li Cheng and sneered twice, and Qiu Xiaozhi said for Lan Ziyi:

"Master Li is of the same clan as Li Zhongtang, so naturally he has to speak for Li Zhongtang, I understand this. But the other two adults are not Li Zhongtang's people, so why do you have to force a relationship with Li Zhongtang? Besides, without Li Zhongtang, wouldn't there be Wang Zhongtang? What is there to say? I'm afraid that Master Li will see Li Zhongtang being degraded, and he is afraid that he will be affected, so he is alarmist, right? ”

Li Cheng smiled bitterly when he heard this:

"Well, that's a good point. Yes, I was pulled by Li Zhongtang, and the other adults have nothing to do with Li Zhongtang, and Wang Zhongtang is about to enter the military plane, but what do you want Wang Zhongtang to do now? Do you want him to risk the disapproval of the world to mention the emperor's younger brother, as long as he mentions this, does he still have an official to do? If he doesn't have an official, what else can he do to speak for others? As long as this piece is presented, what will Zhang Mingyue and those Jiangdong Jinshi think of us, and how will those Jinshi from other provinces like us behave in the DPRK in the future? ”

Lan Ziyi listened to what Li Cheng said, and even admired him a little in his heart, this person finally saw through Lan Ziyi's careful thoughts, not bad. But his ingenuity can't save him, Lan Ziyi is going to eat these three people today. Tao Zhutu has a fiery temperament, and he was the first to open his mouth and scolded:

"You don't want to do it? Then you try it! ”

After Tao Zhutu finished speaking, Lan Ziyi immediately spoke out and said with relief:

"Adults, I don't intend to coerce you, the twisted melon is not sweet, I understand this truth. I ask you to do me a favor and do myself a favor. Come to think of it, the emperor's meaning is already very clear, how many princes have been abolished in the past few decades? As long as the emperor has a heart, how long can the current prince last? You are not willing to support the emperor's younger brother, and when the emperor runs out of patience and comes up with other ruthless methods, it will be difficult for you to protect the prince at that time. ”

Lan Ziyi said that he was tired, so he picked up the tea bowl and drank a few sips, and took the opportunity to sweep over the three adults, and the three adults were obviously moved. Sure enough, only the truth can be said movingly, and no one believes falsehoods. Lan Ziyi, who had a bottom in his heart, put down the tea bowl and said:

"I know that it is a shame to support the emperor's younger brother, and I know that mentioning this matter is tantamount to destroying my future, but this is really the best choice compared to the deposed prince. Besides, this matter is done for the emperor, as long as the three adults do it, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and no matter how he impeaches you outside, the celebrant will not give him a red approval. I can't guarantee that the three of them will be successful from now on, but I can certainly make the positions of the adults solid in the future. This is better than you are now worried about being squeezed out by the descendants of Jiangdong. ”

After listening to Lan Ziyi's words, Li Cheng, who scolded the fiercest just now, would be the happiest to listen to it, and then Wang Xiang, Wu Xueren, and Li Cheng exchanged glances for the second time, and then Wang Xiang cleared his throat and said:

"Since this is something that has to be done, then we have no excuse to continue to prevaricate. But I must reiterate that the crown prince has never lost his morality, and he has children and grandchildren under his knees, and if King Lide is to be the emperor's younger brother, someone must come out to impeach the prince, and if no one impeaches the prince, we will never present a recital. ”

Lan Ziyi scolded in his heart when he heard this, of course he knew that the prince had to be impeached, otherwise what was the point of him saying so much nonsense at the beginning of the conversation? But even Wang Xiang and the three bastards don't want to be impeached, who else can be found in this world to impeach the prince?

But when Lan Ziyi was still hesitating, Qiu Xiaozhi answered the words for him, and only listened to Qiu Xiaozhi and said:

"Of course, someone has to come out to impeach the crown prince before the three adults have an excuse to support King De. Don't worry, I will give you an excuse in a few days, and when the time comes, you can sign a joint letter, if you dare to break your word, the consequences will be very serious. ”

Lan Ziyi was stunned, he didn't expect Qiu Wenruo to make the decision for him privately, he looked at Qiu Wenruo in surprise and at the same time, the three adults also looked at him. After perceiving the strange eyes of the three adults, Lan Ziyi had no choice but to admit:

"What Mr. Wen Ruo said is so right, how can we let the three adults go against the discipline and impeach the prince?"

When the three of them heard Lan Ziyi's words, the stone in their hearts fell to the ground instantly, and the three of them got up and arched their hands:

"In that case, then we will retire first, and wait for Wei Hou Shicheng to tell me to wait, and we will naturally write a book."

After speaking, the three of them turned to leave, and Lan Ziyi got up and gave him off. After the three of them left, Lan Ziyi rarely glared at Qiu Xiaozhi angrily, and Qiu Xiaozhi got up and walked to Lan Ziyi's side and arched his hand, seeing that he must be confident in his easy demeanor.

Lan Ziyi saw that Qiu Wenruo was so confident that he knew that he had come up with a plan, so Lan Ziyi's anger also disappeared, and he asked Qiu Xiao straight:

"Sir's words made today's affairs half ruined."

Qiu Xiaozhi put down his hand and smiled:

"It's not a soup, the other half of the things can't be done by others, and others can't do it, we have to do it ourselves."

Lan Ziyi sneered and said:

"Then the gentleman has to talk about what happened to the other half."

Qiu Xiaozhi also sneered a few times like Lan Ziyi, he raised his hand and cut it steadily, and then said:

"It's simple, it's a list."
