"What do you think, Brother Xu? Liu Zijin is usually just respectful when he sees you, but that's enough to make anyone with a keen eye guess."
After listening to this, Xu Tianze turned his head and looked at the prince. As for Liu Zijin, he was even more curious about the prince's behavior.
You know, the stupid prince had no such speculation. Now the prince's actions are equivalent to self-exposure. Although everyone has long speculated that the prince was pretending to be stupid, it has never been made clear.
"Brother Xu, there's no need to look at me like that. If you play the fool for too long, you'll eventually have to show your fangs. Now's the perfect time, isn't it?" The prince shrugged, not caring at all about the competitors around him.
He naturally understood what Xu Tianze meant. When Xu Tianze warned him, although he had some thoughts in his mind, he never thought of expressing them directly.
Because in his eyes, now is not the best time. It would be better to let his good third brother relax a little more. But when his father warned him, the prince knew that the time had come.
Otherwise, there would be some disturbances in the fight for the throne, and it would not be as smooth as he thought.
"The Crown Prince is so frank and unfair, but as his younger brother, I don't know what to say." Long Musi was the first to come back to his senses, shook his head and smiled, then his eyes suddenly became sharp, "The Crown Prince has changed so much, but is the Sixth Brother coming back?"
"What our father is thinking is not something we, his sons, can know." The prince did not respond, but instead said something that seemed to be true but was not.
However, this seemingly plausible sentence made everyone in the room know that the Sixth Prince, who had been trained in the army since childhood, was about to return.
The Sixth Prince had made great military achievements and held great military power. He would be the biggest competitor to the Crown Prince for the throne. However, by the end of the imperial examination, Long Muse had also grown up.
By then, it will be a three-way competition, and a fierce battle will break out.
"Okay, let's talk about Long Yi. As for the Sixth Prince's affairs, we won't get involved." Xu Tianze stretched and interrupted quickly.
This person has not returned yet. The most important thing is his current imperial examination. As for his "we", it naturally includes the wise king.
The virtuous king had already given up the idea of competing, so he didn't care too much about the Sixth Prince's return.
"Long Yi's actions are related to the group of people behind the scenes. He has confessed everything." Long Musi was silent for a long time before he spoke.
"And then?" The wise king turned to look at his third younger brother.
You know, with Long Mus's methods, it is impossible for him to just find out such a sentence. He also needs to find out the motive, any contact, subsequent deployment, etc.
Now giving everyone such a simple answer seems like a secret that cannot be told.
Long Musi shook his head and didn't want to say anything more, but he could also feel the curious or incomprehensible gazes of others on him.
When he hurried back that day, Long Yi was standing quietly in his yard, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.
When he saw him, Long Yi greeted him with a smile and said, "I think Your Highness already knows everything."
Just when Long Musi wanted to question him, Long Yi was already spitting blood. He just said a few more words to him and left with the rest of the secret.
And those few words still made Long Musi feel dazed and at a loss.
If he were to say those words in public now, it would only make him too embarrassed, so he didn't want to say them at all and could only keep silent.
"Third brother, we are all in the same boat now. If you have any difficulties, it is better to speak up." Seeing that Long Musi did not want to speak, the prince's eyes flashed with a gleam.
It seems that the news he received did embarrass his proud third brother, so he was unwilling to say it out. However, now is not the time to hide it, so he will directly force him.
If he could get some useful information by telling it, that would be good. But if he didn't tell it, he wouldn't lose anything.
"If you don't want to say it, then ask if it has anything to do with what's going to happen next?" Xu Tianze was also a little impatient and asked from a different angle.
What he cared about was the plan that was being implemented. Now those corrupt officials were still in jail. As long as there were no mistakes in the imperial examinations, the plan could be successfully concluded.
As for what Long Yi said that shocked Long Musi so much, he really didn't care too much. As long as it had no impact on him, there was no need to ask.
Seeing Xu Tianze also asking, Long Musi opened his mouth but shook his head. Although those words were somewhat related to Xu Tianze, it was better not to let others know.
After all, Long Yi was already dead, and he had no future arrangements for Xu Tianze, so he also wanted to let Long Yi, who had followed him for many years, retain a last bit of dignity.
"Since there's no problem, there's no need to ask." Xu Tianze saw what Long Musi meant and rolled his eyes, then turned around and continued to look at the students.
He himself was not that curious. It had nothing to do with him and the Wise King, so that was fine. He still remembered what Long Yi said at the door when Long Musi got married.
Although he did not punish Long Yi, he still cared about Long Yi's attitude. Even the facts that Long Yi said made him feel a little disgusted.
"I didn't expect that my third brother could be so soft-hearted, especially when he betrayed his subordinates." The wise king snorted coldly, then turned his head and stopped looking at Long Musi.
Anyone can see that Long Musi wants to leave Long Yi with a bit of dignity, but this kind of dignity will only hurt himself in the end.
Because it is like telling my other subordinates that even if you betray me, I will still give you a last bit of dignity for the sake of our past friendship.
This made the wise king feel a little disdainful. Born in a royal family without family affection, he actually behaved in such a way. It was really shameful. He was just waiting for his good brother to fall from grace.
Song Yu remained silent, but still looked at Long Musi meaningfully. Perhaps he should check Long Yi's motives, maybe there would be a surprise.
The prince put on a simple smile again, and then he looked at the students while playing with the teacup in his hand. However, a figure nearby saw the prince's action, and stepped back quietly until he disappeared into the crowd.
Liu Zijin was going through the final inspection and was about to take the bamboo basket and walk inside, but he was grabbed by the arm by a soldier and said, "Stop! You are disqualified from the imperial examination."
