After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

King Wei's worries were not unreasonable. When Prime Minister Hu Gao overthrew Li Chenglong, he wanted to cut off the prince's right-hand man.

So that the prince could have his name in vain and there would be no external force to rely on.

But the prince is very smart. He knows that his current situation is surrounded by dangers, so he has been acting cautiously and cannot find fault with him.

On the premise that the prince has made no major mistakes, it is not that easy for the emperor to depose the prince without any reason.

In the court, although Prime Minister Hu Gao was planning and paving the way for him, he clearly knew that it was also based on his own interests.

If he succeeds in ascending to the throne with his assistance in the future, his situation will be controlled by the prime minister in every way, and he will be no different from a puppet.

The person who succeeded Li Chenglong was Hu Gao's confidant. Once something happened in the court, the only person who could mobilize Liu Gu was Hu Gao.

Therefore, he must spot the opportunity and cultivate some confidants around him at the right time.

The reason why he and the prince came to Taixue today to observe the grand movement was actually because of their own selfish motives.

That is to wait for the opportunity to find good seedlings in this institution of higher learning, and then win over them, so that they can be used by themselves in the future.

He had met Jiang Feng through Hu Peng in the past. Because they were similar in age and he felt that he was a promising talent, he was determined to win him over so that he could own him in the future.

He attracted Jiang Feng to his side, and the most important thing was to be optimistic about the Jiang family behind him.

The two generations of the old marquis and the young marquis guarded Northern Xinjiang together. Over the years, no matter how disputes occurred between the DPRK and China, they only adhered to their duties and never chose whose side they would stand on.

It would be great if you could get such a powerful feudal minister with military power to support you.

However, Dingyuan Hou and his son ignored the factional disputes in the court and focused on guarding the border and serving the court.

He tried his best to establish a relationship with Dingyuan Hou, but the best breakthrough point was his son Jiang Feng.

Jiang Chen's previous situation did not attract his attention at all.He just knew that the Dingyuan Hou family had a stupid son.

Hu Peng brought Jiang Feng in front of him, and he thought of starting with Jiang Feng first, so that he and himself could maintain a community of interests.

Therefore, if Jiang Feng can be under his command in the future, he will hopefully try to make Dingyuan Marquis available to him.

But when he saw Dingyuan Hou's other son Jiang Chen today, he really realized what it means that there is heaven outside the world, and there are people outside the world.It also made him understand how naive his previous thoughts were.

Now comparing Jiang Feng and Jiang Chen, he clearly felt that Jiang Chen was better than Jiang Feng.No wonder the prince tried so hard to send Jiang Chen to the Imperial Academy for further study.

He was paving the way for Jiang Chen, hoping that he would pass the imperial examination next year, so that he could openly enter the officialdom and become his assistant.

Hu Peng saw that King Wei had been lost in thought after Jiang Feng left and had no intention of returning to the high platform, so he walked over and said to him:

"Your Highness, it's time for you to go back. The game is about to start. If you go back late, you won't be able to see the wonderful game. Don't forget, with Jiang Feng's current condition, we still have to go to him. Just cheer up."

King Wei retracted his thoughts, regained his composure, glanced at Hu Peng and said:

"Uncle Guo, since you and brothers Jiang Feng and Jiang Chen are old acquaintances, what do you think is the difference between them?"

When Hu Peng saw King Wei asking him this question, he said to him:

"Your Highness, the question you asked is really hard to answer. Jiang Feng and I are brothers who grew up together, and we studied in private schools together. We know him very well. What kind of person he is, in my heart Very clear. And Jiang Chen is younger than us. He got a stupid disease when he was young, and he has always been stupid and confused all day long. Who knows why he suddenly recovered from his illness and his brain became clear. This time, he seems to have changed. I don’t know if Your Highness has seen the poems he wrote. Even the most famous old master in the literary world of Xiliang Kingdom was compared with him. To be honest, when I first When I saw the poems he wrote, even I felt shocked and surprised. But at that time, I didn’t know that he was the silly son of Dingyuan Houfu. I thought Li Chen was his real name. Who would Such a prodigy in the poetry world is thinking about a fool whom he has not seen for a long time. To be honest, His Highness, since I received his poems at that banquet. Although I know that he is someone close to the prince, I have really become He was obsessed with poetry. It wasn’t until he came to Taixue to study a month ago that I learned from Jiang Feng’s mouth that this talented Li Chen was the Hou Hou whom I hadn’t seen for many years. You little fool. I couldn’t believe it at the time. It really surprised me. Your Highness, please tell me how such an incredible thing could happen in this world. This person has changed so much that I don’t even know it. Where did he learn those talents from? Or maybe the stupidity I saw in him at the beginning was not really stupid. It was just his appearance. But what is the secret behind this has always puzzled me. I can’t understand it. I really can’t make a conclusion about Jiang Chen.”

King Wei also looked at him and said:

"Have you ever talked about this matter with Jiang Feng? Perhaps Jiang Feng, who lives under the same roof as him, is the one who really knows Jiang Chen's situation."

Hu Peng shook his head and said to him:

"Although they are half-brothers and grew up together in the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, in fact, the relationship between him and Jiang Chen's brother is not good at all. The silly and foolish Jiang Chen is the legitimate heir apparent of the Hou Mansion. , but Jiang Feng, who was born as a concubine, has always been unwilling. It was not until Jiang Chen and his son were implicated by Li Chenglong that they were kicked out of the Hou Mansion by Mrs. Jiang. Jiang Chen, mother and son moved out of the Hou Mansion. Unexpectedly, this The prince seized the opportunity and vigorously cultivated Jiang Chen. This person will definitely be our strong opponent in the future."

King Wei said:

"You are right. He is not yet full of wings, so there is nothing to worry about. If he is named on the gold list next year and he enters the officialdom, it will definitely be a big hidden danger in the future. Do you think he will go to avenge the Li family?"

Hu Peng said to King Wei again:

"Your Highness, what you are thinking is exactly what I am thinking, and perhaps what Jiang Feng is thinking. So we must also pay more attention to him. Once he becomes a leader, he will definitely benefit the prince. In the future, with King Wei and In the prince's contest, there will be more resistance from him. So we must prepare for a rainy day now."
