"Do you really want to know?" The head of the Wen family looked at them and asked.
Old Man Ming and Old Man Wu exchanged a glance, seeing a tacit understanding in each other's eyes, and nodded in unison: "Of course, knowing earlier allows us to prepare earlier, which is better than knowing nothing at all."
Otherwise why would they follow him back?
The Wen family patriarch hesitated for a moment, then said without beating around the bush: "I can tell you this, this is just my guess. Just listen to me. Once I leave this room, I won't admit that I said that..."
"Alright, alright, it's already this late, and you're still doing this."
"That's right, Old Wen. Anyway, we won't know anything once we get out of this door. We are not fools."
The head of the Wen family then said, "King Yi."
What!
"King Yi?" Old Man Ming was the first to react and spoke in surprise.
Old Man Wu also realized what was happening. He subconsciously said, "Impossible! This King of Wings is the son of the late emperor, and the current emperor has eight sons, five of whom are already adults. It's impossible for this to be the King of Wings. How could this be the King of Wings?"
However, Old Man Ming did not agree with him at this time.
"No, Master Ming, you don't also think what Master Wen said is true, do you?" Old Man Wu patted the silent Old Man Ming beside him.
Old Man Ming glanced at the Patriarch of the Wen Family, and then said, "I think what Patriarch Wen said might be true."
"What! Do you really believe that King Yi can ascend the throne?"
Old Man Ming nodded.
Old Man Wu immediately held his forehead and said, "Hey, hey, have you all forgotten that our Emperor is different from the last emperor? His mind... is not as open-minded as the last emperor's. With his narrow-minded... mind, do you think he would be willing to not leave the throne to his son, but instead leave it to his younger brother?"
Old Man Wu spoke very bluntly.
"Also, why did King Yi become a monk at the age of three in his place? Have you ever thought about why?"
It’s no wonder that Old Man Wu has conspiracy theories.
But in today's dynasty, what matters is blood inheritance. Not to mention the emperor, even farmers who only have one and a half acres of land at home will leave their property to their own sons. How could they not give it to their own sons but give it to their younger brothers instead?
What's more, it's the throne.
A kingdom! !
Although Emperor Wenyuan ascended the throne relatively smoothly, he also experienced a bloody "battle for the throne", and many princes died at that time.
Prince Yi was one of the few surviving princes.
But he was sent away at the age of three.
It can be seen that Emperor Wenyuan also did not tolerate him.
The remaining King of Hell was the eldest prince of the previous emperor. He was greedy for beauty and was a ridiculous person. He was basically a hopeless person. His mother's family was just a small clan that was not worthy of respect. Therefore, he was not involved in the battle for power.
In order to demonstrate his "benevolence", Emperor Wenyuan later treated his brother very kindly.
Anyone who understands knows it.
This kind of "kindness" is only based on the premise that Pluto is ridiculous enough and poses no threat at all.
But this Wing King is different.
He is now a young man.
Old Man Wu was so sure it couldn't be Prince Yi because he felt no one was so foolish as to give the family business to someone else instead of leaving it to their own son, let alone someone as narrow-minded as Emperor Wenyuan...
"That's absolutely impossible, King Yi!"
"Old Wu, don't be so absolute. Don't forget that His Majesty has always been fond of King Yi..." said Old Man Ming.
Old Man Wu interrupted him, "What doting do you mean? If he really doted on her, why would he wait until she was twenty-five to bring her back? Furthermore, after bringing her back, he organized a Buddhist feast, which made Prince Yi a star of misfortune. Now, all the noble ladies in the capital turn pale at the mere mention of Prince Yi's name."
"Can't you see what this method is?"
"Your Majesty has no intention of finding a good marriage for Prince Yi. A prince without any connections or foundation in the capital, and without a wife's family to support him, is just a showpiece. To put it nicely, Your Majesty favors him, but how can this favor not be a knife?"
The more he talked, the more Old Man Wu felt that he had guessed the truth.
Emperor Wenyuan wants to kill people without them even noticing!
Old Man Wu glanced at the Patriarch of the Wen Family, his eyes becoming more intelligent as he said, "Patriarch Wen, I know why you speculated about Prince Yi. Do you think the Emperor, like you, can accommodate a clan member to inherit the family business?"
"If that's the case, you're wrong."
"The royal family is different from your Wen family. You have no son to inherit the family business, but the royal family has eight princes..."
After hearing this, Old Man Ming frowned and interrupted him: "Old Wu, that's enough."
The head of the Wen family only had one daughter, and never gave birth to another child. Later, the only legitimate daughter died. No one dared to speak of this to her face, after all, it would be like stabbing someone in the heart.
The head of the Wu family is actually speaking so directly now.
The Wen family's head's expression didn't change much, but he ordered them to leave: "Since the Wu family's head has said so, then it should be so. Okay, it's almost time, I won't keep you here any longer."
"Old Wen, don't be angry!"
Old Man Ming comforted the head of the Wen family, "Our three families have always been of the same origin."
"You know what kind of personality Old Wu has, so just treat him as bullshit. Why don't you tell me why you speculated about King Yi? At least tell us your opinion and we can analyze it together."
Old man Wu opened his mouth to say something, but finally shut up.
However, the Patriarch of the Wen family no longer had the desire to say more. He said calmly, "I don't have any opinions. I'm just guessing."
This is obviously angry.
Old Man Ming wanted to persuade him, but the Patriarch of the Wen family once again ordered him to leave.
In the end, the two of them had no choice but to leave.
Old Man Wu got on Old Man Ming's carriage and couldn't help but say, "Tell me, is the head of the Wen family being stingy? I didn't mean that at the time. I just analyzed it, and he's not happy."
Old Man Ming glanced at Old Man Wu and said helplessly, "Old Wu, you'd better change your bluntness. Sooner or later, you'll suffer for this."
Old man Wu is already old, so how could he not know his own shortcomings?
But in his heart he still felt that his previous analysis was true, and he still did not believe that Emperor Wenyuan would choose King Yi.
So, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Do you really think what Old Man Wen said is true?"
After all, he didn't say it clearly outside.
Old Man Ming pondered for a moment and replied, "You know Old Wen's character. He's not the kind of person who would say something he's not sure of."
“But I always feel it’s impossible.”
Old Man Ming didn't believe it completely. After all, what Old Man Wu said was quite right. Who would pass on the family business to someone else instead of to their own son, let alone a kingdom? It's just...
