All Hail Cousin Brother

Zhou Linghuai came to the chess seat by the window, where the green and wushu covered the sky outside the window, the thick shade covered the window lattice and sprinkled a layer of shade: "Last year, Nanman invaded the southern border in a big way, and King Ping led the army to resist, but was accidentally attacked. Seriously wounded, only then was the battle defeated, the southern barbarians looted wildly in the southern border, and the people were killed and injured countless times."

Yu Youyao sat opposite her cousin: "The New Year is approaching, and the vassal king is defeated, which is no trivial matter. Once there is a commotion, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will inevitably be turbulent. There was a lot of uproar, and no one mentioned the matter of King Ping's defeat."

"After the new year, it coincides with the triennial imperial examination. The court and the public are unwilling to break this opportunity to select talents and replenish new blood, so this matter has been delayed again and again, and this delay is half a year."

On the day of the Changxing Houfu Flower Fair, she learned that King Ping had entered the capital, and she specially ordered someone to inquire about it carefully.

I just feel sarcastic.

The courtiers, who only cared about internal struggles, wanted to use the triennial imperial examinations to strengthen their party members and cultivate their power. They thought that the Marquis of Changxing guarded Youzhou and won the battle, which would deter the vassal king, even if the vassal king suffered a defeat. processed.

Yu Youyao pursed her lips lightly: "The vassal king is not allowed to enter the capital until he has received an edict, otherwise he will be punished as a treason, and the king of Ping will enter the capital privately. Is this a life-threatening situation?"

She has been unable to figure out why King Ping wants to go to Beijing, doesn't she know that going to Beijing in his capacity is equivalent to dying?

But my cousin didn't plan to talk about this before, and she didn't want to ask.

Zhou Linghuai twitched the corner of his mouth, and there was a hint of irony in his eyes: "What if King Ping could prove his loyalty to the emperor and the court?"

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment: "But the emperor is suspicious, how could it be..."

Even King You can't escape the emperor's tricks, so what about King Ping?

Zhou Linghuai held a sunspot in his hand and placed it lightly on the chessboard.

Yu Youyao's head suddenly exploded: "But, if King Ping really has the heart of not being a minister, a mere son, I'm afraid he won't take it seriously!"

This idea is very thorough, but unfortunately...

Zhou Linghuai smiled: "The title of the prince is not something that can be done by giving birth to a son. It is to go to the imperial court. After the deliberation of the courtiers, the emperor decides and issues the imperial decree. , then the future heir to the throne, if the prince dies, it is not so easy to ask for the title again."

Speaking of this, he showed a rather playful smile: "So, everyone who can ask for the title son is the eldest son, and he is also the son who has the most high hopes, and cannot be easily abandoned. The meaning of family, and even clan, is extraordinary."

Yu Youyao pondered: "I heard that after the lord of the clan invites the heir, the court officials will evaluate and verify the character and virtue of the person requesting the seal, and then it will be approved by the Supreme Court, and then after the court has discussed it properly, The sage will only issue an decree, and in this way, the person who asked for the seal will have nothing to hide, no wonder..."

This dynasty attached great importance to the heirs, and the crown princes always put the heirs first.

Let alone the prince?

In this way, King Liang sent his heir to Beijing to show his loyalty.

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "This is just one of them."

Yu Youyao couldn't help but ask, "What about the second one?"

Zhou Linghuai held the black child in one hand and the white one in the other, and the left hand and the right hand crossed each other on the chessboard: "The tiger poison still does not eat the child, if the king of Liang in the future has the intention to rebel, and the prince Liang Jingye, who is the proton, will surely die, and then he will die. There will be court officials who will hype it up, the King of Liang is disloyal and unrighteous when he is a minister, and he is not benevolent when he is a father.

Yu Youyao suddenly realized: "If the people's hearts don't agree, how can they be justified? If they can't be justified, how can the world be unified? However, when the thief Koer and King Liang sent the prince to the capital, he undoubtedly cut his own back. It's the opposite, that's why I sent my son to Beijing to show loyalty."

Zhou Linghuai tapped on the chessboard: "It is true to show loyalty, but loyalty is not necessarily!"

When he turned around, Yu Youyao was confused for a while: "Isn't my cousin saying that King Ping sent his son to Beijing as a proton to show his loyalty? Why did he say that King Liang was unfaithful?"

Zhou Linghuai stared at the chessboard for a long while: "Those who steal hooks are thieves, and those who rule the country are vassals. Killing one person is evil. Killing people in the world is a hero in the world. Cole."

On the surface, Liang Jingye became a proton, which was detrimental to King Ping.

But on the other hand, when King Ping took the initiative to send protons to Beijing, did he not win the trust of the court? In the future, King Ping will also be more convenient to act in Liangzhou.

Yu Youyao gasped in her heart, and felt a breathless feeling: "So, Prince Ping has the heart to rebel against his ministers?"

Whoever steals the hook is a thief, and a person in a country is a marquis. Killing one person is called evil. Killing people in the world is a hero of the world. She almost suffocated.

Zhou Linghuai didn't answer and asked, "Yaoyao, do you think that just a mere proton can really dispel the emperor's doubts about the vassal king?"

Yu Youyao's chest was so tight, she always felt that the cousin in front of her was both unfamiliar and familiar, which made her feel both frightened and distressed, and her heart was full of unease.

Zhou Linghuai sneered: "Why did King Ping quietly enter the capital, and chose the day of Changxing Houhuahui?"

Yu Youyao had a bad feeling in her heart.

Zhou Linghuai raised his eyes to look at her: "The ultimate purpose of the Huahui in the Marquis of Changxing is to cover for the feudal lord to enter Beijing, because once the feudal lord enters the capital, every word, deed, and every move is under the supervision of the imperial court."

Yu Youyao understood, there is an old saying: "There are people in the court, it is easy to do things."

His Royal Highness King Ping went to Beijing privately and sent protons to dispel the emperor's suspicion, but if the emperor didn't do this, his life would be over. The reason why he took the risk was that someone in the court escorted him.

It is only a taboo for the vassal king to collude with the courtiers.

King Ping's ambitions are obvious.

Then, King Ping sent a proton to Beijing this time to show his loyalty. His real purpose was probably to conspire with the courtiers to rebel.

Rebellion is not something that can be explained clearly in a letter, or it will give people a handle on it, or it is a serious crime of beheading.

Only when the two sides conspire face to face can they show their sincerity.

My cousin said before that in this court, the world should be in chaos.

That's what it meant!

Zhou Linghuai showed a meaningful smile: "When the feudal king enters the capital, the emperor shows his mighty kindness, and also intimidates the feudal king.
