Chapter 223: Unclear If The Bronze Mirror Is Not Wiped
evening
Prince Qi's Mansion
Many guests have come to Prince Qi's mansion, but there are few officials with real power. Even if there are most of them, they are just small fish and small shrimps. There are only a few officials whose official positions are not low.
Of course, these senior officials who came to the banquet were not stupid enough to see the situation clearly, but King Qi is the eldest son after all, and the eldest son succession system is the ancestral system. Every dynasty and generation will have such a few prestigious veterans to support them The eldest son of the emperor, this is all normal.
In addition to the above, the largest proportion of this banquet is the descendants of some high-ranking families. It is very easy to invite a few descendants without asking the parents.
Although it is said that the high officials in the court are all smart people who understand who holds the real power, the prince is more inclined to generals after all, and the prince's handling of political affairs is not as good as the current majesty.
These positions are not the top people in the imperial court, and the future promotion and scheduling and future prospects are still in the hands of His Majesty today.
After all, not everyone is the official secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he is not qualified to let the prince put his mind on them.
Now the prince has no plan to take back the throne, and His Majesty has no heir.
Then, as the eldest son of the emperor, King Qi also has the support of several senior ministers who have a lot of prestige in the court, so it is really possible to reach that step.
People always have to fight for their own future.
Since one can enter the imperial court and participate in state affairs, it can be said that no one is a fool. If one is not a fool, one should understand the truth of not putting all eggs in one basket.
Due to his status and responsibilities, it is inconvenient for him to show up, let alone go, so by default, letting his own heirs go can be regarded as leaving a way out for himself.
If King Qi can really ascend to the throne in the end, then those who contribute secretly can also gain some benefits.
If King Qi did not ascend to the throne in the end, they could also get rid of the relationship as soon as possible and preserve their existing interests to the greatest extent.
...
A hint of pride flashed across King Qi's eyes as he watched the guests keep entering.
Even if the real power is in the hands of the virtuous king, he can still recruit the support of some courtiers by virtue of his own talents and abilities.
One day, he will take back the military power in the hands of the virtuous king. The military power should be in the hands of the real emperor since ancient times!
It is not in accordance with the rules of etiquette for the prince to command the army! It is even more contrary to the teachings of the ancestors!
I believe that there must be not a few courtiers who supported my resolution when I came to the throne!
As long as the military power is regained, the virtuous king will be the fish on the chopping board, and he can be convicted of any crime he wants.
Damn it's Xiao Ye!
Back then, he actually broke one of my king's legs! It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, and sooner or later one day I will repay you ten times and a hundred times!
As long as you have the military power in your hands, you can bring order out of chaos, and clean up the court is just a matter of time!
I must show my father that what my father failed to do, he has done!
...
On the official road
on a carriage
Xiao Ye, who was sitting in the carriage, sneezed for no reason. Xiao Ye rubbed his nose and muttered to himself: "Who is speaking ill of me behind my back? Let me think about who said it, Brother Xu... definitely It can't be Brother Xu, Brother Xu never lied to himself, let alone speak ill of himself."
"Who could it be then? Xue'er? It's over, even this one has to be swallowed..."
In the end, Xiao Ye still couldn't determine who spoke ill of him. Xiao Ye, who was sitting in the carriage, sighed and his eyes turned hard.
Then Xiao Ye, who was sitting on the carriage, murmured to himself: "Since you can't figure out who it is, let's put the blame on King Qi! If you don't wipe the bronze mirror, you won't be able to tell if you don't fight King Qi! Just these few days I have been angry with my father, and when I arrive in the capital in two days, I will take him under the knife!"
...
Prince Qi's Mansion
King Qi looked at the guests who had already arrived one after another, he was a little puzzled, and then called his followers: "Did you send the invitation that my king asked you to send to Uncle Anding's mansion?"
The attendant lowered his head and said: "Return to Your Highness, this subordinate has indeed sent the invitation to Andingbo Mansion intact."
King Qi frowned and said, "Since it has been delivered, why hasn't the Uncle Anding come? Could it be that the carriage is stuck on the road?"
At this moment, a servant walked over quickly and said: "Your Highness, just now the servants from Uncle Anding's mansion came to say that Uncle Anding was caught in the cold last night and cannot come here."
King Qi immediately frowned even deeper, and threw the teacup next to him to the ground, smashing it into pieces.
Doesn't get sick sooner or later, but falls ill at this time, isn't it obvious that he looks down on King Qi and doesn't want to come?
A mere county uncle, how dare you do this? !
At this time, the middle-aged counselor in a long robe came over, waved his hand to make all the servants around retreat out, then looked at King Qi and said, "Why is Your Highness so angry?"
King Qi said harshly: "Bo Fang of Anding County just sent someone to claim his illness and resign. This person didn't take my Qi Wangfu To put in one's eyes as real Damn it at all! And he didn't even put my king To put in one's eyes! Damn it to the extreme! According to this king, the Uncle An Ding and that Xiao Ye are clearly the same breed! Sooner or later they will be punished!"
Seeing King Qi's appearance, the middle-aged counselor said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, as an emperor, you should be tolerant of others, and you must have a city in your heart, and you must not show your emotions in front of others!"
King Qi suppressed the anger in his heart when he heard the words of the middle-aged counselor, then looked at the middle-aged counselor and said, "What Mr. Wu said is true, this king understands."
Mr. Wu said: "Your Highness, in ancient times, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty paid three visits to Zhuge Liang in the thatched hut, and finally got Zhuge Liang's assistance with all his life. His Highness wanted to send such a talented person because an invitation failed. Are people turned away?"
King Qi looked at Mr. Wu and said, "What should I do? Please teach me, sir."
Mr. Wu said: "I failed to ask for it once, so I asked again in a few days. The county uncle of Anding was able to make such a great achievement before he was a weak crown. Even I would take the credit and be proud, young people are like this, as long as His Highness sincerely seeks talents, then sooner or later His Highness will be in the pocket of County Uncle Anding."
King Qi's originally gloomy face became calm, he nodded and said: "This king knows."
To be an emperor, you must have a city, and you must not show your emotions in front of others!
Xu Qing, you wait, if you dare to refuse this king's invitation, you will have to pay a price!
...
Andingbo Mansion
"Ah cut!"
Xu Qing, who had just returned to the bedroom after eating, sneezed solidly, and murmured, "Who is speaking ill of me behind my back?"
Su Qian just came into the bedroom and closed the door when she heard Xu Qing's sneeze. Su Qian looked at Xu Qing and said with concern: "Do you want me to invite a doctor to look at you? Husband, don't you have to catch the wind and cold?" it is good."
Xu Qing looked at Su Qian and said with a pitiful expression: "Miss, you must have pulled the quilt away last night to catch a cold because of your husband. Madam, do you think you can make up for your husband tonight?"
