70 070 Calm
◎ The Eighth Prince? Or maybe a turtle. ◎ As soon as
Mo Yu said this, the whole audience was stunned. Although everyone knew the temperament of the eldest prince, this was the first time he was publicly criticized. Of course, many of the new scholars did not know the details of the incident and could only watch stupidly - they certainly did not dare to speak, nor did they dare to shout, nor did they dare to show a shocked expression. In short, they just shut up and observed secretly. However, except for these newcomers, the other royal family members and the old officials were very clear about the situation. As the eldest prince, the eldest prince was indeed very much loved by Master Kang for a long time. Of course, he also has his advantages, such as handsome appearance, bravery and good fighting skills, and even his family background is not too bad. His biological mother, Concubine Hui, was one of the most favored concubines of Master Kang in the early days, and was also the head of the famous four concubines. It can be said that, except for the Crown Prince Yinreng born by Empress Hesheli and the Tenth Prince Yinreng born by Concubine Wenxi, he is the prince with the most noble family background. In addition, he is the eldest son of the emperor in a real sense. In the tradition of establishing the legitimate heir and the eldest son, he is at least a little bit related. Simply put, as long as there is any problem with Crown Prince Yinreng, he can take over in a minute. This idea probably sprouted in his mind when he was old enough to understand things, and it took root in his heart as he grew older. He must have lamented countless times, why he was not born in the empress's belly, or why Yinreng just didn't die. After all, he and Yinreng had encountered many brothers who died young since they were young. In the years when the third prince Yinzhi was born and grew up, the brothers died one after another. But even so, he and Yinreng are still alive and well. It's really a bad fate that I don't know how to evaluate. In short, the eldest prince felt that he, Yinzhi, was not inferior to the crown prince Yinreng in any way, and his second brother just took advantage of a good family background. As long as the emperor is open-minded and deposes him, he will definitely be able to take the throne. As for when he will be deposed, it should be not far away. Didn’t the kid from the Lin family say that it would be a matter of time before the second son was deposed? As for him saying that he couldn’t get promoted, it must be because of jealousy... The second son was deposed, who among the remaining ones is qualified to fight him? The third son, Yinzhi? That guy is very cowardly. He only knows how to edit books in the Wuying Palace every day and pretends to be good. He has never even been to the battlefield, let alone leading troops to fight like him. The fourth son, Yinzhen? This guy is not very good either. Although his mother is now named Defei, the Wuya clan is not in the mainstream at all. What future can he have with such a maternal family? Even if he recognizes the Tonggiya clan as his maternal family, it will be useless. You can see that the brother of the former Queen Tong, Tong Guowei, simply ignores him. It's funny. You were only raised in the palace of the late Empress Tong for a few days, but you were eager to acknowledge her as your mother. No wonder your biological mother, Concubine De, doesn't like you anymore. She only treats the fourteenth son as her only child, as if you don't exist. Not to mention the fifth son, Yinqi, because he was given to the Empress Dowager to raise as soon as he was born. He can only speak Mongolian and can't even speak Chinese fluently. What can he fight for? The sixth son was short-lived and died at the age of five. The seventh son was even worse. Not only was his mother's family background ordinary, but he also had a disability in his legs... This meant that he had no hope of succeeding to the throne. It was a pity for him, but the good thing was that no matter which of his brothers became emperor, they would treat him well. Eighth brother… Eighth brother originally followed his eldest brother and was usually respectful to him. But for some reason, the kid from the Lin family repeatedly said that Eighth brother had ulterior motives. Following his eldest brother was just because he had no good place to go for the time being. What was more frightening was that he wanted to compete for the connections and resources in his hands. Moreover, Ninth brother and Tenth brother were always on good terms with Eighth brother. Their mothers were of high status. If they both supported Eighth brother, it would be enough for him, the eldest brother, to suffer. Eleventh brother and Ninth brother were both born to Concubine Yi. They also died five years ago. They were only eleven when they died. They were also unlucky. Twelfth brother’s mother was of low status. Later, he was handed over to Su Malagu for upbringing. Basically, he didn’t have to consider the succession. The Thirteenth Prince is very much liked by the Emperor, and is very close to the Fourth Prince, but he is not the type to compete for supremacy. The Fourteenth Prince also has a good relationship with the Eighth Prince, and he is still young, so he can’t cause any trouble for the time being. As for the princes after the Fifteenth Prince, not only are they young, but their birth mothers are also of low status. They are not members of the Eight Banners, and are even Han Chinese. In this case, there is no need to even think about usurping the throne. So, after all the calculations, it is really only the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince who are a little bit tricky. But the Fourth Prince is obviously on the side of the Crown Prince. So, the Lin family kid just said that it was the Eighth Prince who plotted against him this time? How is that possible? It is obvious that the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince look more like bad guys, so the Eighth Prince of their family should not be like that, right? The eldest prince thought for a while, looked at Mo Yu suspiciously, and then looked at the eighth prince who was sitting not far from him. After successfully seeing the expression of grievance and injustice on the eighth prince's face, he hesitated again... Master Kang sat at the top, saw the expression of the eldest prince, and was even more furious: What kind of weird son is this? People are about to slap the evidence in your face, and you are still hesitating here, and you still think that the eighth prince is a naive person. I think you are really stupid, as stupid as a pig. The eighth prince was also shocked, but he did not dare to take it lightly. Because no one knew better than him that every "prophecy" said by the young master of the Lin family about him was true. He was indeed playing the role of a pig to eat the tiger. And he is the kind who thinks he is quite high-end. He just couldn't figure out how the little brat from the Lin family knew all this. Fortunately, he didn't "tell" any further details and inside stories, so that he could still cover up a little. Anyway, there is no problem in fooling his eldest brother, that fool. The problem is, can he fool their emperor - you know, their emperor is a person who can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes. Will the emperor be disgusted by such a thing? If so, it will be a loss. The Eighth Prince was somewhat worried, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and go ahead with his plan - since he was interested in that position, he would have to arrange for people to join the other princes, and he had already received news about how powerful the child from the Lin family was.
I heard that when the prince was in Jiangnan, he suffered several losses at the hands of this kid. One time, he was even locked up in the palace by the emperor and was not allowed to go out. It was really powerful. He must be careful to deal with it, otherwise he will repeat the prince's fate and never be able to turn over.
He does not have the status of the prince in the emperor's heart. If he is really disliked by the emperor because of this, then it will be over.
The eighth prince's mind is as fast as lightning. He made up his mind in an instant - just pretend that nothing happened. As long as he pretends well, he will still be the "Eighth Wise King". Although he is still a beile now, it will be a long time before he is crowned a king. It doesn't make sense that a fool like the eldest brother can be a county king, so he can only be a beile.
Their eldest brother, this fool, is so arrogant just because he was born a few years earlier than himself. The Eighth Prince will naturally prove to the world that it is not just because of age that one can be patient, and that there are also idiots who have grown up for nothing for so many years...
Of course, he did not mean to say that the eldest prince is an idiot, but that he is not smart enough.
The Eighth Prince made this calculation very well, and his expression was also very well controlled. It was probably a mixture of grievance, sadness, stubbornness and other complex emotions, with a kind of sadness of "You would rather believe outsiders than me" and "So many years of family affection are still wrong" and "the innocent are innocent" and "Anyway, I will not and will not bother to explain" stubbornness.
It has to be said that the Eighth Prince is still quite capable.
At least the control of emotions is still very accurate.
Under his superb acting skills, the eldest prince was the first to be overwhelmed. He was originally a person with well-developed muscles and a simple mind. Because he had always been on good terms with the Eighth Prince, he had a kind of brother filter, and he always wanted to give the Eighth Prince a good brother character.
In addition, the Eighth Prince was acting so hard, how could he hold on? He immediately believed the Eighth Prince and thought that Mo Yu must be imagining things. He even began to suspect that this guy was sent by the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince to alienate the two brothers.
It's so bad.
Do you think this prince will be fooled?
That's impossible.
The eldest prince's confused eyes suddenly became firm, and looking at the Eighth Prince's expression, he became trusting again and even a little guilty - I'm sorry, Eighth Prince, it's because of your weak willpower that those bad guys took advantage of you.
How could I not believe you, eldest brother?
Don't be angry, I will make up for it later.
The eldest prince has done this, and the eighth prince also knows when to stop. The two of them exchanged glances back and forth. Although they didn't say a word, it seemed as if they had said thousands of words. Everyone who saw it would praise them. They really have a deep brotherly love.
Of course, Master Kang only wanted to scold him, "deeply scheming", and add "stupid as a pig".
However, he didn't lose his temper on the spot. First, the occasion was not appropriate. After all, he personally hosted the Qionglin Banquet for the new Jinshi. It was really outrageous to cause such a thing - as for you saying this, everyone present heard it?
That's different. Hearing the voice of the heart and him personally breaking through this layer of window paper are two completely different concepts.
As long as he didn't make a clear statement, this matter could continue to be muddled, until the day when he decided who would succeed him, these things would all be "evidence".
Who would dare to say anything at that time?
Master Kang's plan was quite good. But what he never expected was that Mo Yu didn't play by the rules at all.
After cleaning up the eldest prince, he extended his "claws" to the eighth prince.
The reason was that after Mo Yu ate a plate of dried meat, he suddenly felt thirsty, so he picked up a cup of scented tea to drink.
This scented tea is a new popular style, which is brewed with magnolia petals. It has a fresh fragrance and is very effective in removing dryness and greasiness.
Mo Yu took a sip and was in a very good mood, so he thought of an allusion.
【By the way, there is an interesting story about the Eighth Prince. A fortune teller named Zhang Mingde saw the Eighth Prince standing under the magnolia tree and shouted to congratulate him. 】 【He
also said something about what word is formed by adding a white above the word "king"...】
