When Zhao Qinghe and Chang Tingzhao returned to the Duke's Mansion, they were acutely aware that the atmosphere was not right, especially Mrs. Feng Chou and Chang Tinghui. Although they tried their best to calm themselves down, they could still see that they were in a very happy mood and their eyebrows were raised.

Since the Sixth Prince returned to Beijing, the previously suppressed forces have revived. Although many ministers in the court did not directly support the Sixth Prince, they did not oppose it as before.The sixth prince had a good reputation in front of people before, but the He family was dragged into the water because of their dishonesty, so the ministers in the court did not like it.Coupled with what happened later, the sixth prince fell to the bottom.

However, although the He family was not prominent in the early years, the advantage is that the family is huge. Since Empress He came to power, the He family members have married many high-ranking officials and nobles, which has also made their power stronger.Although he was severely suppressed by Emperor Ming before, the complex situation in the court was not so easy. He only hated Emperor Ming's body decaying too quickly, so although his appearance was ruined, his bones were not hurt.

And the eleventh prince is still young, so he doesn't know what the future will hold, and if he ascends to the throne now, he will only be a puppet of the Yan family.In contrast, instead of betting on the eleventh prince, who can't see the future clearly, it is better to let the sixth prince ascend to the throne.This is also the taller one among the short ones, and the other princes are even more inappropriate, so this is the pressure on the sixth prince.Although Dayou had just defeated Xirong, the situation at the border has been unstable, and many feudal lords are ready to move, so stability is the main priority at this time.Nowadays, there are quite a few people with wolfish ambitions coveting that position in the court, and I'm afraid there is no excuse.

In addition, although Chang Tingzhao supported the Yan family, not all the military power of the Chang family's army was in his hands, and there was a Duke Dingguo on top.Ding Guogong is still neutral and unwilling to express his position, which makes Chang Tingzhao unable to become the eleventh prince's bargaining chip.

However, Emperor Ming is still alive and has not issued an imperial edict.The Yan family is not weak in the court, and Concubine Yan has been serving Emperor Ming all the time. Although the sixth prince is young, he is also very clever, which is liked by Emperor Ming, so it is difficult to distinguish him from brother to son.

Because of the return of the sixth prince, Mrs. Feng's previous confidence has returned, but she has never dared to do anything.Now that he looks like this, could something have happened?

Zhao Qinghe and Chang Tingzhao glanced at each other secretly, but kept calm and watched the changes.

Unexpectedly, there was nothing special about the dinner, it was still the same as before, which made the two of them even more puzzled.Although Mrs. Feng Fang was quite scheming, her personality was not one to endure. She looked very proud and happy, but she didn't show it during the dinner, which was not her style.Since the sixth prince returned to the court, Madam Feng began to show off the He family and repeat the glory at every turn, so as to raise her own status, but she was more restrained than before, and she did not dare to ridicule Chang Tingzhao and the others.

After the meal, Duke Dingguo summoned Chang Tingzhao to the study with a gloomy expression.

"How do you see the current situation in North Korea and China?"

Chang Tingzhao's eyes flashed, "My Chang family must have a choice."

Duke Ding frowned, and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, "Is there any other way?"

Chang Tingzhao affirmed: "There is no other way."

Duke Dingguo frowned even tighter. The older he got, the less bloody he was when he was young, especially when he was used to rich clothes and fine food, how could he still be willing to return to his former appearance.In the past, he was loyal to the emperor, but now it is for self-protection, so he has always been impartial.But this matter in court is not so simple, if you don't stand in line, there will be people pushing you to make a choice.If you don't use it for yourself, you will destroy it. This is the style of those in power.

After a while, Ding Guogong said, "I know that you have a good relationship with the Yan family, but in this world, only blood relatives can be trusted. Your second mother is the cousin of the current queen, and the wife married by your eldest brother is also from the He family." Department of..."

Chang Tingzhao interrupted directly, "Father, are you asking your child to defect?"

Duke Ding's eyes were dark, what is the most important thing for a general?It's just promises, promises, and strong bones. Breaking the agreement is not a hero.

At the beginning, he noticed the signs, but he never stopped him, and changed his position, it is very inappropriate to mention this now.But now the power of the court sees that the two princes are evenly matched, but it is not the case.The eleventh prince and the thirteenth prince were locked together, but the sixth prince also found other princes.Originally, the power was indeed similar, but the Eleventh Prince suffered from his young age, and because of natural disasters, rumors and rumors were directed at the Eleventh Prince, so the overall situation was not good for the Eleventh Prince.

This is related to the future rise and fall of the entire Chang family. Duke Ding also struggled before, but he had to bow his head in front of this situation.There is still a chance now, if it is too late, I am afraid that the entire Chang family will suffer.He hadn't been so decisive before, thinking of delaying until the last day, but the news Mrs. Feng gave him made him panic.

Faced with Chang Tingzhao's doubts, Ding Guogong was a little hot, but only for a moment, and said with a serious face: "It is related to the future of the Chang family, so don't be so impulsive. Those who know current affairs are heroes, and the eleventh prince will fall." , why bother..."

Chang Tingzhao was startled, "Father! What do you mean by that?"

Duke Ding shook his head, "I don't know the specifics, but the divine way prophesied so. The plague in the south is prevalent, and the divine way has been shocked and forced it back to the evildoer body..."

Chang Tingzhao sneered, "Father, when will you believe these nonsense?"

I don't know what kind of shit luck the sixth prince had, since he returned to Beijing, there has been no catastrophe.That's all, the plague after the original catastrophe, because of Zhao Qinghe's reminder and the disinfectant potion, the plague did not spread in a large area, but the sixth prince was affected by it.Fortunately, they had been prepared for a long time, but those rumors gave the sixth prince the upper hand, so the sixth prince still got a lot of credit.Although many people have doubts, they are more inclined to the sixth prince.

This made Zhao Qinghe gnash his teeth in anger, and made a wedding dress for someone after a busy work.But it also reminded them that if they want to win this battle, the public opinion part is very important.Those rebellious figures in ancient times often used the theory of gods and ghosts, and the sixth prince is now turned over by these rumors.

Grandpa Guo: "It is better to believe what is there than to believe what is not. It is better to grasp what can be seen than to believe in what is not unknown."

This is indeed true, and analyzing the pros and cons of their family having such a relationship with the queen, no matter who they are, they will be more inclined to support the sixth prince.The relationship with the Yan family has only just been established, and it is reasonable to trust the queen more.If the queen is the cousin of Mrs. Dingguo, Chang Tingzhao is likely to choose this way.

Unfortunately, that's not the case with their family.

If he supported the Queen's faction, it goes without saying that Mrs. Feng Chou would definitely support her as his wife and Chang Tinghui as his son. How could there be room for the two of them in this family?Although Chang Tingzhao and Chang Tingen don't care about this position, they will definitely not let Chang Tinghui gain the upper hand.They have only one choice now, which is the eleventh prince, otherwise, no matter whether they win or lose, they will not end well.

Chang Tingzhao took a deep look at Ding Guogong, "Father, my son said that my son only wants to live, and he wants my brother to live."

If this is the case, how could Mrs. Feng Fang tolerate Chang Tingen.Although Chang Tingen has lost his position as the eldest son, but now his health is getting better and better, and he has begun to take charge of the important affairs of the court.I heard the miracle doctor said that it is not impossible to have a good body in two years and to have children.What should the position of the son of the world be like when this comes?Even if Chang Tinghui inherited the position of son, he still wouldn't rest assured that such a strong opponent would remain in the world.

Ding Guogong was very displeased and said: "Your elder brother is also your elder brother, there will never be any brother-in-law in my Chang family."

Chang Tingzhao laughed, feeling that the room was very stuffy, and said coldly: "Father wants to deceive the child, but he can't. Behind the dream is a sharp sword!"

Duke Ding was furious, but in the end he didn't get angry, and said after a while: "As a father, I will never let the things you worry about happen."

Chang Tingzhao smiled sarcastically but didn't speak. Duke Ding felt it was dazzling, thinking of Zong Zong these years, but he didn't say anything in the end.He just said: "It's unknown what happened. I just asked you to come here today so that you don't have to do everything too badly. If there is a turning point, there is a chance to regret it."

Chang Tingzhao responded lazily, unwilling to say anything else.

Chang Tingzhao hugged Zhao Qinghe tightly as soon as he returned to the house. Seeing his appearance, Zhao Qinghe knew that he was hurt by Duke Ding.She put her hand on his waist, stroked his back and said nothing.

Although Chang Tingzhao was uncomfortable, he wasn't too sad. He had come here all these years, and he didn't expect anything.As the head of the family, it is indeed understandable for the father to do this, but he overestimated his ability.If it were loyal Hou's family, I'm afraid they wouldn't be so entangled.

Chang Tingzhao let go, thinking of what Ding Guogong said just now, he felt uneasy, and always felt that Ding Guogong had some news that changed his attitude.When Chang Tingzhao mentioned it to Zhao Qinghe, Zhao Qinghe couldn't help frowning.

"Could it be that the sixth prince wants to secretly poison the eleventh prince?"

Chang Tingzhao shook his head, "If something goes wrong with the eleven princes at this juncture, the sixth prince will not be well. Although the two princes are fighting each other in the court, there are still many people waiting for the fisherman to benefit."

Zhao Qinghe also felt that this was unlikely, among other things, the thirteen princes could take the opportunity.No matter how stupid the Sixth Prince is, he would never make a move at this juncture, and it is not easy to make a move. In the past, the empress failed to control the harem, let alone Concubine Yan now controls the harem, and the empress's power in the harem is not as good as before.

"This is really strange. My father can believe this, which means that the sixth prince is sure to let the eleventh prince do something. Otherwise, this rumor will not be believed if it breaks the previous rumor."

From the time the rumors started, Yunxi also started to engage in a public opinion war with him. Although he couldn't suppress the sixth prince for a while, it didn't get worse.Now it only takes one opportunity to reverse.But at this time, the sixth prince dared to release such rumors, he was afraid that he would dare to be so bold if he was very sure.Could it be that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind?But since the sixth prince made such a big commotion before, it is impossible for him to be undefended, and Duke Ding also knows that the rumor should be spread by the sixth prince.

The two couldn't figure it out, so they wrote a letter to the Thirteenth Prince and Yan Ke to make them vigilant.Although I don't know what it is, it is better to take precautions in advance.Especially during this period of time, you must take good care of the eleventh prince, and don't let him make any mistakes.

A few days later, news came from the palace that the eleventh prince had contracted smallpox!
