Chapter 399 Lin's evaluation of Ning Fan
"Your Highness, Third Prince!"
"Prime Minister, there is no need to be too polite. Over the past few days, thanks to the support of Prime Minister Zuo, my father has become more and more important to me."
"Your Highness is overly complimentary."
Lin Qiushi sighed sadly. Ever since King Sheng died in the battle in the Western Region, he was like a rootless duck until the third prince Qi Lin came to the capital.
Looking at the princes today, he and King Yong are not the same people after all, and will even become opposites one day.
There is no other reason. That person is too sharp. If he can sit in that position, he must be a hero of the generation. But from his point of view, it is also the last thing he wants to see.
Because if the emperor is too domineering, his position will be unstable. Moreover, his character has always been decisive in killing, and his attitude towards the aristocratic family is extremely hostile.
Therefore, the second prince Ning Fan was destined not to be in the same boat as him.
Although the fourth prince Ning Shu was quite scheming, his foundation was too shallow. He stayed in the capital for several years but never came into Emperor Yu's sight. He was even directly dispatched last year and was obviously not among His Majesty's considerations.
The identity of the fifth prince was destined to miss that position, the sixth prince was too mediocre, and the seventh prince was a complete loser, so he, Lin Qiushi, had no other choice!
"Prime Minister, have you ever heard that my father took off the title of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and gave it to Zhuge Liang?"
"And my position as the governor of Qilin County was actually given to Wei Zheng!"
Ning An's tone was full of displeasure. In the past six months, he had worked hard in the court and was hands-on in everything, but in the end, he got nothing except some false rewards.
On the contrary, the people of King Yong were promoted step by step!
"yes!"
"I am also very surprised!" Lin Qiushi's eyes showed a hint of depth: "This time, His Majesty directly summoned Zheng Xuan to enter the palace, obviously deliberately avoiding the old minister and confirming Zhuge Liang's position."
"The second-in-command in the civil service department has a high and powerful position!"
"Last year, His Majesty released King Yong into the land of Huainan. Now, this should be compensation for him!"
After hearing Lin Qiushi's words, Ning An's expression softened slightly, but he also showed a bit of confusion: "Prime Minister Zuo, in your opinion, what is your father's attitude towards the second child?"
"If you are serious about passing the throne to him, why should you banish him from the capital?"
"exile?"
A wry smile appeared on Lin Qiushi's face, he shook his head and said: "From your Royal Highness's perspective, King Yong's departure from the capital to Tibet is an act of exile, but from the perspective of this veteran, it is exactly the opposite."
"If His Majesty really intends to hide King Yong in the snow, he will definitely not let him go to Huainan. Instead, he will give him a rich fief and let him live the rest of his life in peace."
"But His Majesty did not do this. Instead, he asked him to go to Huainan and take over the mess left by King Huai."
"You are still letting your powers go wildly. Is this really an exile!?"
When Ning An heard this, his expression became more solemn, and he spoke again: "What do you mean, Mr. Xiang, that the father intends to exercise his dick?"
"King Yong is by no means a mediocre person. He has the appearance of a hidden dragon. No matter where he goes, such a person will eventually soar into the sky. I can see it, and your Majesty can naturally see it."
"So, letting King Yong go to war this time is not necessarily a bad thing for him. More importantly, His Majesty has released military power!"
Speaking of this, Lin Qiushi's face also showed a look of concentration, and he said in a deep voice: "Now, Zhuge Liang is supported in the center, Wei Zheng is directly transferred to the guard of a county, and his intention is to have an overview. Does His Highness really understand the intention? Don’t you want to come out?”
"Father is training a team for the second child?"
"good!"
Lin Qiushi nodded directly, and Ning An's face was full of disbelief: "But the origin of the second child...how could the father know it?"
"hehe!"
Lin Qiushi smiled, shook his head and said: "Everyone knows that His Highness King Yong has the blood of two dynasties, so it is natural to think that His Majesty will be jealous of his origin and dare not pass the throne to him. Even if there are ancestors The emperor’s decree!”
"But Your Majesty, do you really care about his origin?"
"Back then, Dayu destroyed the Zhou Dynasty. Although he invaded the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty and dispersed the remnants of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now they have merged with me, Dayu, the team that the Great Zhou Dynasty left behind have never shown up yet!"
"This is also the reason why the late emperor was afraid of the previous week!"
"After His Majesty ascended the throne, he granted amnesty to the remnants of the previous Zhou Dynasty and was extremely tolerant of them. Over the years, His Majesty and the Great Zhou Dynasty have also maintained a tacit understanding."
"If King Yong ascends the throne one day, the remnants of the previous week will definitely come back. By then, King Yong, who has the blood of two dynasties, will naturally be able to resolve this grudge!"
"But if one day King Yong is no longer destined to take the throne, does His Highness think that the forces left over from the previous week will still be able to sit still?"
Hearing Lin Qiushi's words, Ning An was shocked, "So, what the Prime Minister means is that the forces from the previous week have been dormant until now and have been waiting?"
"Are they waiting for their father to establish a heir apparent?"
"If the father is the second child, they will stay dormant forever. If the father is the second child, then they will rise up?"
"good!"
Lin Qiushi nodded, with a look of regret on his face, "Over the years, His Majesty has been reluctant to establish a throne. Isn't it because he is afraid of them?"
"how come?"
"Now that my country, Dayu, is rich and powerful, even the Great Zhou Dynasty has been wiped out by my iron hoof. How can some remnants of the previous Zhou Dynasty make my father so afraid?"
"Your Highness!"
Lin Qiushi suddenly said solemnly: "Back then, when the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, you were still young, so maybe you didn't know much about the secrets!"
"But I know everything."
"If the Great Zhou had the intention, it would have been enough to cause the destruction of my country, Dayu!"
"Even when the city was broken, their bronze swordsmen never showed up!"
"Even though the Great Zhou has perished, the power left by the Great Zhou is enough to make my country, Dayu, unstable."
"Even, it is enough to overthrow!"
Lin Qiushi's tone was extremely solemn. Looking at Ning An who was shocked, he continued, "Over the years, my country, Dayu, has experienced turmoil repeatedly, but they have been holding back and not taking action. The key lies in one person."
"Who?"
"Prince Yong's mother, Empress Xian."
"Do you know that before His Majesty ascended the throne, that What a gorgeous and charming woman, she is a wise helper to your majesty, with extraordinary talents and good sense of propriety. "
"It is no exaggeration to say that your majesty can go against the tide in the turmoil, and Concubine Xian has made an indelible contribution."
Ning An's face was full of complex expressions, and he said bitterly: "In this case, the second son's background has become his advantage?"
"Yes!"
Lin Qiushi also smiled bitterly and said: "A person as gorgeous as Prince Yong is a natural king and overlord. If he really sits in that position, perhaps, I, Dayu, can reverse the decline of the past hundred years, and even change the pattern of the entire Central Plains."
"It's just a pity..."
