Liang Yulin whispered, "Don't you want to pull the prince down and sit in that position yourself?"
"Among my brother's descendants, you are the most capable of making money, and you are also smart enough to use this to keep a low profile."
"But do you think you can win with just these?"
"You still lack reputation. Recently, Liang Mingyu has been in charge of road construction, and his reputation among the people of Northern Xinjiang has been getting better and better."
He threw down the bait and said, "If you don't hurry up, you'll never have another chance in your life."
Liang Mingwen's face changed. He didn't expect that King Yi would find out that he deliberately used eating, drinking and having fun to conceal his ambitions and keep a low profile in secret.
He wanted the other brothers to fight first, and then he would sit back and reap the benefits.
Of course he would not admit it, and smiled helplessly, "Uncle Huang misunderstood, I just want to be a playboy."
Xi Rui suddenly said: "You don't look like a playboy..."
Liang Mingwen and Xi Rui knew each other when they were children. Although they had not met for many years, he still knew that Xi Rui was the most extravagant playboy in the capital and had a reputation as the Little Bully of Kyoto.
He laughed, "Why don't I look like a playboy?"
Xi Rui patted his chest proudly, "A real dandy is someone like me, with no ambitions and who loves to have fun."
He rolled his eyes. "Which real playboy would have the energy to run so many businesses and work himself to death? Our purpose is to enjoy life."
Liang Mingwen: “…” This was the first time he had seen a playboy being so proud.
And he was speechless because it made so much sense.
He used his status as a playboy to conceal his ambitions. While developing his life in a low-key manner, the money he accumulated was also his bargaining chip in his fight for the position of the crown prince.
A true playboy likes to eat, drink and have fun. Because he is afraid of hardship and fatigue, he naturally won’t manage much business on his own.
All of a sudden, he felt so embarrassed.
Xi Rui smiled and said, "So don't pretend in front of us."
Qing Luo once said that as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed, and he thinks this makes a lot of sense.
Liang Mingwen: “…” He speaks so bluntly, so annoying.
No wonder my father has been complaining about these people being annoying lately.
Liang Yulin smiled and said: "You have money, but what you lack is reputation."
"My daughter-in-law brought it up, and it's a good thing for you."
Liang Mingwen: “…” He didn’t believe that these two people would be so kind as to help him.
He just wants to take advantage of him.
But what made him even more annoyed was that he actually had the intention to do so.
Liang Mingyu's reputation among the people has indeed improved a lot recently, and his other brothers are getting anxious.
He didn't appear to be in a hurry, but he was anxious inside.
If Liang Mingyu could gain a good reputation and get the approval of his father, it would be more difficult for them to snatch the position of crown prince.
Among the brothers, except for one or two who were really unmotivated, who among them didn't want to fight? If their father succeeded in his rebellion, they would be princes in the future, and what they would fight for would not only be the position of the crown prince, but also the position of the crown prince.
In this fight to achieve success overnight, we are willing to fight even if it means getting beaten to a pulp.
If my father is defeated, according to his wishes, arrangements have been made. At that time, I will retreat to the northern border, separate it from Daliang, and establish myself as emperor.
Even if they take a step back, they still have to fight. They are all illegitimate sons, so why should they give the Northern Frontier to other illegitimate brothers?
So King Yi's words actually touched his heart.
Seeing this, Shi Qingluo smiled and said in a low voice: "Money can be earned after spending it, and land can be bought after donating it. If you give up the position of the crown prince, you can only be a real playboy for the rest of your life."
The trap she and King Yi dug together would only be effective if Liang Mingwen's psychological defenses were broken.
Liang Mingwen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked her, "Are you so kind as to help me fight for the position of the crown prince?"
There was no one around where they were standing, and they were some distance away from the people who were gambling. If they didn't speak loudly, others wouldn't be able to hear them, so he asked this.
Shi Qingluo said frankly: "Of course I'm not that kind, after all, this is the first time I've met you."
"When the Artisan Academy is affiliated with your name, we can use your background as the son of King Jin. Other noble families or officials in the North City will have to be cautious if they want to stop us and find fault with us, so it will be a win-win situation for both of us."
It can be seen that Liang Mingwen is not a fool. It is better to talk to smart people and put the benefits he has gained on the table.
Liang Mingwen didn't expect Shi Qingluo to be so straightforward.
He also recalled what he had heard recently, "It is said that Princess Fubao has a straightforward personality and speaks bluntly. It is indeed true when I saw her today."
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "When talking to a smart person, why bother beating around the bush, right?"
Liang Mingwen discovered that although Princess Fubao acted straightforwardly, she was not simple.
He said, “I need to think about it.”
This time there was no refusal.
Shi Qingluo nodded with an understanding look, "It should be."
Then she changed the subject and said, "But if the answer you give does not satisfy me and the prince, then you can no longer operate the mahjong and card games in this gambling house."
"The prince will ask the emperor to grant an imperial decree. From now on, any gambling house that wants to use mahjong and playing cards to do business must obtain my approval."
Liang Yulin found that his eldest daughter-in-law was too evil. She was openly using intimidation and inducement. She was worthy of being a member of his family.
"Yes, if I ask for it, I believe my brother will not refuse."
Liang Mingwen: "..." What should I do if I want to swear? It's as it should be. Shi Qingluo and King Yi are not good people. They are forcing me to get on the pirate ship!
The gambling house is his biggest source of income. Mahjong and cards are also the main reasons for attracting gamblers to play. After all, other gambling houses do not have these two things.
He also believed that the emperor would definitely give King Yi this face.
Now that his father has not rebelled and the Northern Frontier still belongs to the emperor, the imperial edict will naturally be effective on his gambling house.
If he doesn't get on the boat, they will cut off his source of money. These two people are too cruel.
Shi Qingluo could see that Liang Mingyu had changed his expression, but she was afraid that he wouldn't change his expression.
She said with a big smile: "So please give us an answer as soon as possible, Mr. Fourth."
Liang Mingwen could only grit his teeth and said, "I understand."
The pit had been dug, and Liang Mingwen had almost jumped in, so Liang Yulin changed the subject.
He took out a receipt from a previous bet and handed it over, "We came to your gambling house today to exchange money, so please have someone prepare it quickly."
He had just handed it to Liang Mingwen when Shi Qingluo took out his own share and handed it over.
Then came Xi Rong and the others.
When Liang Mingwen saw the receipts handed over to him, he just wanted to cry.
If it were someone else, he would definitely delay it as much as possible and then find a way to erase this account.
But the identities of the people who came were all not simple, and they were led by King Yi, who even gave his father a headache. In addition, he had just been tricked by King Yi and Shi Qingluo, so he was very afraid at this moment.
He could only take a deep breath, take the receipt and tell someone to prepare the banknotes.
"Uncle, I didn't know you were coming today, so my people need to spend some time preparing."
He suggested, "How about we go to the backyard and have a cup of tea and sit for a while?"
And by the way, test King Yi and Shi Qingluo.
Liang Yulin was in a good mood and didn't make things difficult. "Okay, let's have a cup of tea then."
As soon as they walked into the backyard, they heard a cry.
"I really can't come up with five thousand taels of silver. What do you want me to do to let my brother go?"
Shi Qingluo hadn't seen the person yet, but when he heard the voice, he knew who it was.
