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

The prince looked at Hu Gao in front of him and wondered what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

In the Xuanwu Dynasty, no one was more unwilling to see himself sitting in this position than him.

He proposed at this time that he wanted to send people to the North Country, and he must have his own plans.

The prince said to him:

"Prime Minister Hu, this is related to the issue of diplomatic relations between the two countries. You should allow me to ask the emperor for instructions. We can discuss it later."

When Hu Gao saw that the prince did not agree, he deliberately made the prince lose face in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and said:

"The two countries haven't gone to war yet. This is just a normal diplomatic exchange. Can't the prince even make the decision? The emperor is not in good health. You'd better not disturb the emperor in everything."

After hearing Hu Gao's mockery of the prince, the ministers followed his words and burst into ridicule.

At this time, Jiang Chen, who was in the morning class, walked out of the class train. He took a step forward and said to Hu Gao:

"Prime Minister Hu, the prince is not in charge of the government now. He is just acting as a substitute for the emperor. Naturally, he has to ask the emperor for instructions on everything. Is there anything wrong with this? Let's talk about envoys to a country. It is just normal diplomatic relations and friendship. Why hasn't it been done yet? As for the envoys, they first considered giving them gifts, which obviously defeated them in terms of momentum. Only reasonable and equal diplomatic relations can promote the steady and normal development of the relations between the two countries. This kind of unequal mentality is absolutely inevitable. It's bad, I hope Prime Minister Hu will think twice before he acts."

Hu Gao saw that what he said was actually picked on by a newcomer, Jiang Chen.He turned around and looked at Jiang Chen, and said to him angrily:

"Who do I think it is? It turns out to be our new top scholar. Since you have opinions on this matter, let me ask you if the North Kingdom declares war on us, do you have any good methods to prevent this war?"

When Jiang Chen saw Hu Gao asking such a question to him, he said to him frankly:

"If war is really coming, we can't avoid it no matter how much we don't want to fight. We have no intention of invading other people's territory, but if the other party takes the initiative to start a war, we must not back down. Use gold and silver to bribe The other party can only make them more greedy. If the other party is a wolf, no matter how much meat you feed him, you can't stop him from eating people. So, we'd better take up weapons and fight back hard. , only by beating them until they feel the pain will he not dare to have any plans against us."

As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, the prince above applauded Jiang Chen in agreement and said:

"I very much agree with the No. [-] Scholar's statement. To deal with those who have arrogant ambitions, we must severely attack their arrogance and make them stay away from us. Now it is not a bad idea to go to them to find out the news, but I don't know that the Prime Minister is going on a mission. Northland, who are you planning to send?"

At this time, King Wei, who was standing on Hu Gao's side, stepped forward and said:

"Your Highness, I am willing to go. As long as the two countries can avoid war, I am not afraid of my own safety and am willing to go. Please allow me to go, Your Highness."

When the prince saw that King Wei had volunteered and wanted to go to the Northern Kingdom, he said to him:

"King Wei, the matter is not that urgent. I will wait until I report it to my father before making a decision. If the ministers have nothing to do, I will retire from the court.

When Hu Gao walked out of the Jinluan Palace, King Wei quickly followed him to Hu Gao's office.

Hu Gao invited him in. As soon as he entered, King Wei couldn't wait to say to Hu Gao:

"Prime Minister, the emperor is ill. This time he asked the prince to go to court for him. What do you mean by this, emperor? Doesn't this make it clear to all civil and military officials that he will be the new emperor in the future?"

Hu Gao looked at the uneasy King Wei and comforted him and said:

"The emperor is ill, and the prince is acting in government affairs. This is something that is understandable. He is the prince now, and who will care if he doesn't care about the government affairs. Didn't you panic when you saw him sitting in that position? Don't panic. , why are you anxious. That position will be yours sooner or later, we have to do it step by step, and you can’t eat hot tofu if you are impatient."

King Wei was still unhappy and said to Hu Gao:

"Prime Minister, we have been preparing for such a long time. Shouldn't we put this matter on the agenda? The emperor is not in good health now. If something happens, how should we deal with it? If the prince is not removed, what will happen? Only then will it be my turn to take over. I hope the Prime Minister can arrange this as soon as possible. "

Hu Gao looked at King Wei in front of him calmly and said:

"It seems that King Wei is really losing his temper. Do you think this matter can be accomplished so easily? Everything must be well planned before we can act. I don't dare to launch a coup easily without being completely sure. Yes, if there is a wrong move and the prince gets the handle, it will be treason and a serious matter of losing one's head. By then, the head will be gone, so what's the use of having a throne. Besides, last time you went there At the border, what a great opportunity it was. You couldn't handle Dingyuan Hou, so how could I dare to let go and do all this? Only we can firmly hold Dingyuan Hou and his son in our hands. , to ensure that we have no worries in whatever we do."

After hearing what Hu Gao said, King Wei said to him angrily:

"I have done everything I should do, but that Jiang Yingxue is not on the right track at all. It seems that Dingyuan Marquis does not take sides on the surface, but he is supporting the prince with practical actions. Last time I went to the border When they were young, Marquis Dingyuan repeatedly rejected this marriage. He said that Jiang Yingxue was a concubine and was not worthy of a noble prince like me. Isn't this just pushing this marriage away? What can I do?"

Hu Gao was silent for a long time without saying anything. He knew that Dingyuan Hou's words clearly meant that he was rejecting King Wei.

And their plan must have his support before it can be implemented.He said to King Wei:

"In the future, you must use your brain more in everything, instead of just being simple and crude. In terms of doing things, the prince is many times better than you. You see him doing things, he is calm and strategic, and you see him showing the emperor's ability. Winning over to his side is not something that ordinary people can do.”
