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

When Jiang Feng was talking excitedly to Hu Peng, he saw a person walking from a distance, came to them and said:

"Uncle Guo, Mr. Jiang, and His Highness the King of Wei, please come over. Please come with me."

When they saw that they were from King Wei, Jiang Feng called the boy beside him to report the good news. He and Hu Peng followed the visitor.

The man led them to a teahouse not far away.

King Wei saw the two people coming, motioned them to sit down, and then said to them:

"How about it? Judging from your looks, you should both be on the list. I'm afraid the good news is being delivered to your homes right now."

Jiang Feng looked happy, he raised his hands and said to King Wei:

"Thanks to the King of Wei, Jiang Feng is fortunate to be on the list, but he is not as good as he imagined. I am ashamed of having studied so hard for more than ten years."

King Wei looked at him and said:

"How do you say this? You have already been on the gold list, so what's wrong with it? What you said is too modest. Tell me how many places you got in the exam."

Jiang Feng looked at King Wei and said:

"I'm very ashamed. I got 32nd place in the exam."

King Wei smiled and said:

"Isn't this great? There are so many exams. If you can get No. 30 or [-], you are already a pretty good leader. What else is there to be dissatisfied about? I don't know what rank our uncle got in the exam. What’s your name?”

Hu Peng quickly said to King Wei:

"King Wei, although I didn't do as well as Jiang Feng in the exam, it's already very good for me to be on the gold list. King Wei, you haven't seen those who failed the exam crying on the spot. I passed the exam In this way, there will be no problem in going back for business.”

King Wei happily said to the two of them:

"As long as you are on the list, you are already qualified to enter the officialdom. What's more, Uncle Guo doesn't need to use this as a stepping stone. It's just that Jiang Feng has to take the imperial examination to enter the officialdom. Because you are the heir apparent of the Marquis Mansion. It seems that your position is no longer destined for you."

Jiang Feng looked at King Wei and said:

"What King Wei means is that the position of heir apparent in the Hou Mansion still belongs to Jiang Chen, right?"

King Wei nodded and continued to say to him:

"What you said is correct. Although Jiang Chen's mother and son were kicked out of the Hou Mansion because of Li Chenglong's involvement, Dingyuan Marquis did not write to the court to make you the heir apparent of the Hou Mansion. Then Jiang Chen can still be him in the future. As the heir apparent of the Hou Mansion, Jiang Chen went to the border this time and got a big advantage from the Marquis of Dingyuan. Not only did this trip let the two Marquises know that he was not a fool with no merit. Just showing off casually in front of Duo Duo has consolidated his position in front of Marquis Dingyuan. If he is named on the gold list again this time, then the Marquis Mansion will have almost nothing to do with you in the future. Have you seen Jiang Chen's achievements? How did the exam go?"

Jiang Feng and Hu Peng looked at each other. Hu Peng looked at King Wei and said:

"This world is so big that it is full of surprises. He, a fool, actually got No. 1 on the gold list. King Wei also finds it incredible."

King Wei suddenly jumped up from his seat. He looked at the two people and said:

"What are you talking about? Jiang Chen got No. 1 in the exam? Did the Prime Minister miscalculate this time? Jiang Chen is the prince's man. If you praise him so highly, aren't you finding a powerful enemy for yourself?"

Hu Peng quickly stood up and explained:

"Have you forgotten, Your Highness, that the emperor has sent several examiners this year. Not only are there ministers from the six ministries, but also from the academic administration and the Hanlin Academy. In addition, I am this year's candidate, so the prime minister still has to avoid suspicion. He It’s not easy to interfere.”

At this time, King Wei couldn't sit still and said to the two of them:

"Jiang Chen is a hidden danger. He is originally the prince's man. It will be even harder to deal with him in the future. Jiang Feng, Jiang Chen will actually have a greater influence on you. Although you are about to enter an official career, no matter where you are in the future, , he will firmly suppress you. I went to the border this time and mentioned my marriage to your sister to the Marquis of Dingyuan, but your grandfather immediately said that your sister is a concubine and is not worthy of a prince like me. , rejected me, Jiang Feng, you can tell yourself whether he clearly wants to side with the prince by doing this."

Jiang Feng was shocked when he heard what King Wei said.He had already clearly stood on the side of King Wei.

He also understood that King Wei wanted to use his relationship with him to win his grandfather and father to his side.

If this succeeds, King Wei will have no external pressure, and it will be a matter of time to bring down the prince.

He quickly stepped forward to express his loyalty to King Wei and said:

"The King of Wei thinks too much and doesn't take sides with the factions in the imperial court. This is always Grandpa's style. Although he has not agreed to your marriage to Yingxue, he will not defend the crown prince. I don't think His Highness needs to do this. Worry."

King Wei looked at Jiang Feng and said:

"How can you make me not worry? Unless you have a way, don't forget that Dingyuanhou has military power. If Dingyuanhou is on my side, eradicating the prince will not be a problem at all. If I When you become the prince, and I will become the emperor in the future, I will choose the position of the six ministers as you like. At that time, you will be my humerus minister, and you will have power all your life, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth. I will give you What do you think about the conditions?"

Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel something in his heart after hearing these words from King Wei.King Wei's promise to him was something that many people dreamed of, but how could he make his grandfather listen to him.

Just as he was deep in thought, Hu Peng approached him and said:

"Jiang Feng, King Wei has said this, what else do you have to think about. You are also the eldest son of the Hou family. Haven't you always wanted to remove Jiang Chen's thorn in your side? As long as you can convince Dingyuan Hou , on the side of King Wei, think about how long the prince can stay in his position. If the prince is really eliminated, then Jiang Chen can still have him, no matter what rank he got in the exam , why not let him accompany the prince to death in the end? When that time comes, once the obstacles in front of you are removed, no one will pose a threat to you anymore."

Jiang Feng was moved by what the two of them said. It was really like this. Jiang Chen's existence always felt like a thorn in his throat, and he couldn't get rid of him even though he tried several times.

If according to what King Wei said, getting rid of the prince would be equivalent to getting rid of Jiang Chen.As for how to convince my grandfather and father, it is a difficult task.

King Wei watched him remain silent for a long time, then said to Jiang Feng:

"What about Jiang Feng? The conditions I gave you are not generous enough. Just tell me. As long as you can tell me, I can satisfy you."

Jiang Feng came back to his senses and said:

"No, Your Highness, I was just thinking about how I can persuade my grandfather to side with King Wei."

When King Wei heard what he said, he smiled and said to him:

"Jiang Feng, as long as you have figured it out, this matter is not urgent. Let's study it carefully and come up with a perfect solution."
