King Qi's face sank, stared at the prince's eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Prince, is the person behind the assassination of me in Zhongyi Village ......!" He didn't say his name directly, but the prince had already shook his head and said: "This palace didn't say that, what this palace means is that if you doubt the third child, you might as well doubt Huang Ju." ”

King Qi had already clenched his fists and sneered, "He has so much courage? ”

"Guts?" The prince smiled and said: "Yingren, you really underestimate our An Guogong, if you can know about his big gamble back then, you know that this person's courage is definitely not small." He pulled the blanket covering his legs with both hands, although the weather was really not cold, but the prince seemed to be a little afraid of the cold, and said slowly: "Back then, the eighteen kingdoms competed for power, and the conditions in Qinling County, where my father was located, were harsh, and it was really not strong in the eighteen kingdoms. Huang Ju is a native of Anyi County, Anyi was not under the jurisdiction of Qin at that time, but Huang Ju, the richest man in Anyi, secretly sold all his family property, which was a huge amount of wealth, he carried this huge wealth, and then took refuge in his father and helped his father, my Great Qin can set the world, and the credit of the Huang family is indeed not ......! ”

Daqin is now divided into 16 provinces under heaven and implements a three-level administrative system of provinces, prefectures and counties, but in the Dahua period of the previous dynasty, it was not divided in this way, but a three-level system of prefectures, counties and counties.

King Qi bowed his head and said, "I know about this. At that time, Huang Ju took refuge in his father, and his father also took people out of the city for fifty miles to greet him, and announced in public that once he could win the world one day, the world's money and grain would be handed over to Huang Ju to take care of. After the founding of the country, the father did not breach the contract and handed over the household department to Huang Ju, but Huang Ju was old a few years ago, so he took the initiative to hand over the household department. ”

"Hand it over?" The prince shook his head and said with a smile: "The household has always been in the hands of the Huang family, so how can it be handed over?" He raised his head, looked up at the night sky, and said slowly: "The operation of my Daqin money and grain, from top to bottom, is controlled by the Huang family's henchmen, how can he really put the power of money and grain into the hands of the imperial court." ”

In fact, the king of Qi did not have much interest in these state affairs, and he did not know much.

The prince groaned slightly, and then smiled: "That big gamble back then was extraordinary, how can Huang Ju's courage be comparable to ordinary people?" He was bold and put him to death, but he won the big gamble, his father lived up to expectations, and he was very rich and noble, and the courage of a big gamble has never disappeared in this person. ”

King Qi frowned and said, "Brother Prince, if it was really him behind his back, I would definitely not spare him, but ...... But why did he do it? ”

The prince said softly: "It may not be that he did it, but if it is really him, the reason for it is very simple." ”

"What reason?"

"Remove all obstacles to the inheritance of the third child." The prince said solemnly: "Over the years, the Huang family has completely walked together with the third child, they are tied to the third child, that is the intention to make a second big bet, this time all the bets are placed on the third child, if the third child can take the position of the prince from my hand and inherit the business of his father, then their Huang family will be more powerful to the government and the opposition, one person under ten thousand people, but once the third child fails to achieve their wishes, they naturally expect that the Huang family may not have a good end." He clenched his fists, and his originally calm face showed a cold look: "At least this palace will never let the Huang family continue to be presumptuous." ”

"Even if the Huang family wants the third brother to be the emperor, what does it have to do with me?" King Qi sneered, "Why did he attack me? ”

"Because in Huang Ju's eyes, the real threat is not mine, but you." The prince said: "Throughout the ages, the king of a country has almost no crippled body. I am now a wasted person, and I understand that if I hadn't followed my father to fight on the battlefield, I still had some connections in the army, and I had some military exploits, otherwise I would not have been a prince a long time ago. ”

King Qi opened his mouth, and suddenly saw Chu Huan blinking his eyes behind the prince, King Qi didn't understand for a while, frowned slightly, but quickly understood, and immediately sneered: "Brother Prince, after the death of the eldest brother, whether in public or private, you are the prince of the empire, and no one can change this." Yu Gong, at that time, the third brother was still young, I was never born, the prince's brother followed his father, fought in the south and the north, and there were many scars on his body. If you are private, the eldest brother will go, then the prince's brother is the father and the emperor's son-in-law, inheriting the unification, and it is justified! ”

The prince looked calm, smiled casually, and said, "You think so? ”

King Qi nodded, and said sincerely: "Brother Prince, it's not just me who thinks so, I believe that most people in the world think like this. ”

The crown prince shook his head and smiled: "Even so, at least there are still many people who feel that I am not worthy of inheriting the great cause, and the father and son of the Huang family are naturally the first to bear the brunt, and this palace itself has never felt that it can rely on the courage of the disabled body to bear the burden, this palace ...... Five years ago, I never thought about being this emperor. The remnant is a king, the country is ominous, and if he can spend the rest of his life quietly, this palace has nothing else to ask for. ”

"Brother Prince......!"

The crown prince raised his hand to stop King Qi's words, and said calmly: "My father is the wisest person in the world, he is our father, but he is also the king of a country and the father of millions of people. Sometimes for the sake of the country, my father has to give up his family. ”

"Brother Prince, what do you mean?"

"Of course, my father also understands that being a monarch is a bad omen for the country and the people, so sooner or later my father will abolish the palace." The crown prince sighed lightly: "This palace also wanted to take the initiative to write and implore my father and emperor to choose another prince, but this palace can't do this. The position of the prince of this palace, not the palace alone, since the father of the emperor set me as the prince, there are countless people of the rise and fall of honor and disgrace tied to the palace, between them, countless people will be worth their lives are bet on the body of the palace, if the palace takes the initiative to book, then it is irresponsible to them, they are loyal to the palace, if the palace easily hands over the prince's position, it is to abandon their loyalty, the palace does not care about the prince's position, but they can't, They don't want to see this prince thrown out of the palace casually......! He looked at King Qi and said very seriously: "The crown prince is not his own prince, and the king of Han is not his own king of Han, Yingren, do you understand my words?" ”

King Qi seems to understand whether he understands or not.

But Chu Huan could understand.

When a person reaches a certain status, he cannot fully represent himself, but represents a group of interests, and the interests of individuals are already related to the net worth and lives of thousands of people.

The prince is a position, and the prince is the prince, but the prince is by no means just a prince, the prince is a group, and an interest group surrounded by the emperor.

When the auspicious rises, countless people will enjoy wealth and prosperity, and if the auspicious is defeated, then countless people will fall into the valley.

Every step that Xuan Xiang takes is related to the interests of countless people behind him, so sometimes he can't make some decisions based on his own preferences, and every decision he makes must take into account the group of people behind him.

If his decision goes against the interests of that group, then that group will be transformed from his loyal subordinates into his enemies, and he will abandon the interests of those people, and those people will certainly not let Mrs. Huang Xiang peace.

What Xuan Xiang said today seems to be from the bottom of his heart.

"The palace can't take the initiative to write a book, but if the father and the emperor personally make an order, then everything will be logical, and the palace will not bear the charge of abandoning them." The prince sighed lightly: "So the book of this palace is not available, so I can only wait for my father's decree." But as a child of the Ying family, the Great Qin Wanli River is the country of my Ying clan, even if it can't take on the heavy responsibility, the palace has to think about who is more qualified to bear this Great Qin River. ”

King Qi frowned and said, "If the crown prince brother doesn't want to inherit the unification, then it can only be ...... It can only be the third brother? ”

"Everyone in the world thinks so." The crown prince smiled and said: "Everyone in the world can think so, but some people can't think like this, this palace can't, and you can't either!" ”

"Me?"

"You and I are both sons of our father, so we have to think more about the words 'the country is important' than ordinary people!" The prince's voice was calm: "In the heart of the Han King Party headed by the Huang family, this palace is already a wasted person, and the position of the prince will be abolished sooner or later, they don't care too much about this palace, but they care about you!" ”

"Do you care about me?" Yingren seemed to be a little incomprehensible: "Brother Prince, your words, I ...... I'm really confused. ”

The prince said: "Yingren, you have become an adult, if you are an ordinary person, you can be confused, and you may be able to live a life in a mess, but since you are a descendant of my Ying family, you can't be confused, and you are not qualified to be confused." His eyes sharpened: "This palace is not a threat to them, but you are." They are not afraid that this palace will be their roadblock, but they are afraid that you Yingren will be their roadblock! ”

Yingren exclaimed: "Brother Prince, is it ...... Did the third brother think that I would compete with him for the position of prince? This...... How is this possible? ”

The prince smiled faintly: "Why is it impossible? It is a foregone conclusion that the palace will be abolished, but who is the new prince, and who can know before the father and emperor make an order? He looked at Yingren very softly, and said slowly: "Father loves you, and the queen is your biological mother, don't you think you have the possibility to become a prince?" ”

Yingren took two steps back, sat on the stone stew, shook his head and said, "No, I won't be a prince, and I won't be a prince if I am killed." "He really doesn't seem willing to be a prince.

Chu Huan saw it in his eyes, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"As a royal descendant, nothing will ever happen according to your own willingness." The prince smiled bitterly: "This palace came to you today, firstly, to suppress your shock, and secondly, to tell you that you have grown up, and there are some things that you can't choose." ”
