Chapter 155: The Crown Prince - Master of Keeping Balance (Update 2)
Not long after Lu Zerong came, the first prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince all came. When the three of them came, they all brought rare and good medicinal herbs tacitly.
There was no way, Lu Zexu's health had not improved, and everyone was very worried.
"It seems that my guess was right. How could a nerd like you come up with this blackboard chalk thing? It seems that Xiaoliu helped you."
The first prince was an excellent martial artist and was the most impatient with studying, so he hated the third prince who only knew how to study.
Similarly, the third prince also hated the first prince who only knew how to wield guns and sticks, and thought he was just a warrior.
The two had been at odds since they were young.
The third prince glanced at him and snorted, "As if you got the throne by your own ability? We are all the same, don't laugh at others for doing the same." The
eldest prince's anger was provoked, and he suppressed his anger and reminded, "You should distinguish between gratitude and resentment! Xiaoliu helped you, you must remember this favor." Lu
Zerong glanced at him, "This is between Xiaoliu and me, it has nothing to do with you!"
Seeing that the two were about to clash, Lu Zexu coughed a few times, immediately attracting the attention of the two.
"Third brother, now that you have been crowned king, father values you very much, you must work harder, do things well, and work harder to pull me down from the position of crown prince as soon as possible!"
Lu Zexu encouraged him, he seemed to see a bright future waving at him.
Lu Zerong's mouth twitched. Although he knew how much Lu Zexu didn't want the position of crown prince after spending some time with him, he felt really weird
when he heard his former competitor looking at him with hope, as if he was the last hope of the whole village and made him work hard to get him. If he told others about it, everyone would think he was crazy about the position of crown prince! Lu Zerong tried to ignore this strange mentality and said confidently, "Don't worry, I will definitely seize this opportunity." The eldest prince knew the little prince's mentality best among all people. He smiled coldly, "Then you have to work harder, or I will be named the prince before your job is done." Lu Zerong snorted coldly, "Just you?" The eldest prince smiled confidently, "Yes! My military and horse system reform has come to an end. As far as I can see, the new policy is very good and has changed many of the previous drawbacks." Lu Zerong's face sank, and pressure hit his face. No, he has to work harder! Otherwise, he may not be able to compete with this warrior! He had to be more polite and visit several respected mountain masters, and he had to make the blackboard and chalk public in the shortest possible time! The third prince was forced to roll up. Seeing this, Lu Zexu secretly gave his elder brother a thumbs up. Sure enough, the threat from the opponent was infinite. Although Lu Zerong had 100% confidence that he could do the job well, stand out in the court, and gain the support of court officials, he would definitely give 200% effort after this time. After all, he didn't want to lose to the eldest prince. "I won't get involved in the blackboard and chalk factory, Xiaoliu, you and Laosi will take care of the workshop, and you two have the final say on the benefits." Lu Zerong emphasized again before leaving. The fourth prince, who was daydreaming, came back to his senses immediately, "I already have the benefits of pencils, I won't touch the benefits of blackboard chalk." Lu Zexu looked at the fifth prince, but before he could say anything, the fifth prince immediately refused, "Sixth brother, you have given me 20% of the business of Liuli Pavilion, which is enough for me to be rich for a lifetime! People should not be too greedy." Seeing this, Lu Zerong felt a little sour in his heart, "You This is giving away merit and money, even father is not as generous as you! You have given them enough, you should keep this profit for yourself." A big question mark slowly popped up in the head of the eldest prince on the side, he couldn't help but interrupt the two of them, "So, Xiaoliu, you gave the hen that lays golden eggs to the fourth and fifth brothers?" Lu Zexu suddenly realized what he had overlooked. He hurriedly smiled and looked at Lu Ze'an, with a serious face, "So, brother, the profit of the blackboard chalk workshop will be given to you, after all, I always treat everyone equally!" The eldest prince frowned slightly, he always felt that things were not like this. "I am training soldiers in the army all day long and I don't have time to run a workshop. I can't take this profit. You should keep it for yourself to save money." Lu Zexu explained quickly, "Brother, you don't have to run it. Third brother will take care of these things. You just need to check the accounts and collect money." Check the accounts of the nerd Lao San! Lu Ze'an likes this. "Then it's settled! Lao San, since Xiao Liu gave me all the profits, you have to keep a clear record of your accounts. If I find out that you have embezzled money, don't blame me for not giving you face." "You can check it as you like!" Lu Zerong threw his sleeves and left directly. Every moment of his time is extremely important now. He cannot waste it on arguing with this warrior. He has to go back and work out a specific process. He is going to be the crown prince, and he does not have time to waste with this warrior! Lu Zexu smiled and made a cheering gesture. He hoped that Lu Zerong could do it quickly, and it would be best if he could forget about food and sleep, work all night long, and not sleep at night! Lu Zexu breathed a sigh of relief in a place where no one could see. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and treated everyone equally, otherwise his eldest brother would definitely be angry. "Do you think the third brother can become the crown prince?" The eldest prince Lu Ze'an felt a little sour. The sixth brother never cheered him on. Lu Zexu turned around and said with a smile, "Don't we still have you, big brother?" At this moment, the eldest prince was very proud. He was still the most reliable big brother in Xiaoliu's heart! He had to work harder! At least he couldn't be caught up by Lu Zerong, the nerd! The eldest prince also followed suit. Lu Zexu hides his merits and fame. Seeing his two brothers working so hard for their own wishes, Lu Zexu's mood also relaxed. The eldest and third brothers are so outstanding. As long as the emperor is not blind, he will not choose his favorite seventh brother to replace him.
He would not choose his own sickly and weak prince who could die at any time to inherit the throne!
Thinking of this, he coughed a few times, and on his pale face, only his eyes were bright and amazing.
This was a new idea that he had thought of for a long time. He
didn't have to ruin his reputation, and even if he made his father angry every other day, he wouldn't have to be beaten.
He was a sickly prince, and he could be sent away with a beating.
Daliang couldn't have a prince who didn't live long as the crown prince!
He had to seize this opportunity and throw the position of the prince away!
