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

Concubine Li said to her son King Wei:

"King Wei, I have to discuss this matter with the Prime Minister. If the Crown Prince succeeds, wouldn't our plan be completely ruined?"

When King Wei saw her panicked look, he couldn't help but become a little nervous. He said to Li Fei:

"Concubine, I'll go with you. I happen to have something to discuss with the Prime Minister. Don't be so flustered when something happens. That kind of emotion will be contagious. You'll make me feel uncomfortable in an instant."

Concubine Li ordered someone to prepare the car, and the mother and son went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as Hu Gao saw Concubine Li coming with King Wei, he hurriedly greeted her.

As soon as Concubine Li met, she told him what the emperor and the prince had just said.

Hu Gao was also surprised when he heard this. He never expected that the emperor would order the prince to investigate Li Chenglong's affairs.

But he still said to them very calmly:

"Why panic? The emperor ordered the death of Li Chenglong's family. Now he asked the prince to investigate Li Chenglong's affairs. Isn't that a slap in his own face? I don't believe it. If the truth of this matter is revealed. What should the emperor do? Telling Li Chenglong, I think he is just a temporary measure to deal with the prince. Even if the prince goes to investigate, where will he go to investigate? Two years have passed, and it is still unclear whether Li Chenglong is dead or alive. He cannot be found. The bodies of their father and son must have been picked up by wild wolves, but we may not know for sure. Stay calm, don't let the wind or rain, and mess up your own position first. "

Li Fei stepped forward and said to her father:

"Father, I have mentioned in front of the emperor several times that King Wei is more suitable for the throne than the prince. But the emperor has never said that King Wei should take the throne. He is not in good health now. If he is to return to the west, then the prince Isn't it just right to inherit the throne? What's the use of working so long and expending so much effort in vain? In the end, we didn't make the wedding dress for the prince in vain. Do you believe it? If he succeeds to the throne, The first one will attack us first. He will definitely avenge Li Chenglong's blood feud."

As soon as Li Fei finished speaking, she heard Hu Gao burst into laughter. Li Fei looked at him and said:

"Father, am I right? Why are you laughing?"

Hu Gao glanced at her and said to her slyly:

"Are you talking about letting the prince succeed to the throne? That is simply impossible. Otherwise, all my plans for so many years would have been in vain. The only person who can sit on the throne of the emperor in the future is King Wei. Don't worry about that. , you just wait until King Wei succeeds to the throne and become your Queen Mother."

Li Fei looked at her father and said:

"Father, I advise you not to underestimate the prince. Although he is young, his city is also very deep. You see, he usually doesn't show his sharp edge, but he is indeed a powerful character. What's more, he also has an emperor and a queen. Covering him, and beside him is Yu Jian, the nine-door admiral. After all, this man still holds 20,000 horses in his hands, and they are all people who can be at his disposal at any time. "

The Prime Minister looked at Concubine Li's worried look and chuckled slightly:

"Yes, Yu Jian has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, but those under him are just doing trivial things to maintain public order in the capital. There are soldiers like Liu Gu's who have really experienced , people who fight to the death. As long as I give the order, within three days, the troops will be at the city. Yu Jian's 20,000 troops can't resist it. I have thought about this matter a long time ago, so I said you don't have to Worry, as long as I am around, this throne belongs to King Wei."

King Wei, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth and said to Concubine Li:

"Mother, concubine, since the Prime Minister is so confident, what are you worried about? The Prime Minister is right. Yu Jian's 20,000 troops can't be compared with Liu Gu's battle-hardened troops. What's more, I We will be going to the Northern Kingdom soon. If we can follow the Prime Minister's wishes, we can bribe the Generalissimo Yeluhan of the Northern Kingdom to cooperate with us. When we rise up, we can ask him to send troops to attack the Xuanwu Dynasty, thus containing Jiang Rong, the Marquis of Liyuan. The troops and horses prevent him from returning to the court. As long as Dingyuanhou cannot return to the court, everything in the court will be in our hands. "

Concubine Li said to King Wei:

"King Wei, you speak so lightly. Why would Yeluhan from the Northern Kingdom listen to your orders? Do you think he is also Liu Gu?"

Hu Gao said to his daughter:

"Haven't you heard that money can make all the difference? As long as you have enough money, the Generalissimo is just a mortal. Who wouldn't like this, money in vain?"

King Wei said to Hu Gao:

"Prime Minister, I have traveled thousands of miles to the Northern Kingdom. I have brought so much silver with me, and I don't know how many thieves will be interested in me along the way. I'm afraid that before I get to the Northern Kingdom, the silver will be noticed by thieves from all walks of life. By then, I will Even though he is the noble King of Wei, he is too powerful to defeat a local snake, and he may even bring trouble to himself. "

Li Fei also said to Hu Gao:

"Yes, father, what King Wei said is right. How many people can he bring with him as an envoy? If he really encounters a thief, isn't it just a waste of trouble for him?"

Hu Gao glanced at his daughter, walked up to King Wei and said to him:

"Your Highness, I have already thought of this for you. Those gifts for Yeluhan have been sent to the North Kingdom a long time ago. You can just be responsible for your mission."

King Wei looked at Hu Gao in surprise and said:

"What do you mean by the Prime Minister? Could it be that he has sent someone to deliver the gift in advance?"

Hu Gao told him:

"His Royal Highness King Wei, I might as well tell you the truth. We have several hidden stakes in the capital city of the North. They all use bank accounts as cover. Over the years, they have been operating properly and the profits are considerable. There is no need at all. Let us pay for it out of our own pockets. I have written to them in advance. When you arrive, they will have already arranged the gifts for you. You can just come directly to the door when you arrive and give the gift list to Yeluhan. This way, you will save money. You’ve been in a lot of trouble along the way."

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

"I didn't expect the Prime Minister to be so far-sighted and able to accumulate so much wealth in a foreign country. He is really prescient. Leave all the rest to me. I will definitely be able to complete the tasks you have assigned me."

Hu Gao suddenly remembered something. He looked at King Wei and said:

"Your Highness, why did you remember to bring our new top scholar with you? He belongs to the prince. If he ruins your big event, wouldn't your trip to the Northern Kingdom be in vain?"
