Unexpectedly, Xiao Ziheng's answer was this. Xiao Zisu's thoughts paused for a few seconds.
This sentence has two meanings. The first is that I will not participate in the fight for the crown prince, and the second answer is that I will not help any of you become the crown prince.
In other words, Xiao Ziheng is a neutral attitude.
"Then you are willing to let the crown prince fall into their hands?"
Xiao Zisu deliberately lowered his voice, and he was not even willing to call each other "eldest brother" or "second brother": "They are ignorant, stupid and ignorant, and they can barely survive in the court by relying on the help of the prime minister. They have lost a foothold; and the other one is not much stronger, has a perverse and violent personality, and countless people have died at his hands. Do you really think they can secure the throne? In other words, can you really rest assured that the world is left to them?"
The eldest prince is said to be ignorant and stupid; the second prince is said to be perverse and violent.
If the former obtains the position of Crown Prince, then he will definitely be exploited by someone with ulterior motives in the future. Even if the Prime Minister is around to assist him, it will not help. After all, the eldest prince has been pampered for so many years and has long developed a arrogant character.
He desperately needed the Prime Minister's support before, so he obeyed his words. If the eldest prince really ascended the throne, he would soon get tired of the Prime Minister's words.
China There is a saying that goes, "The cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook it, the flying birds disappear, and the good bow is hidden; the enemy's country is destroyed, and the counselors perish."
The meaning of this passage is that when the cunning rabbit is killed, the running dogs that chased the rabbit will be cooked, all the birds in the sky will be caught, and the good bows and arrows can only be put away and become useless. Once the enemy's country is defeated, the ministers who made suggestions will also die. It is usually used to describe those who serve the ruler and are abandoned or killed after they are accomplished.
Therefore, the eldest prince is not a good king.
Not to mention the second prince, his mother's family is very powerful, and the general of Zhenguo is his uncle, so his character is more arrogant and unreasonable than the first prince. He doesn't even need any reason to kill people, he just simply dislikes the other person. Countless people have died under his hands over the years.
The people were miserable, but there was nothing they could do.
After all, for the sake of the general's reputation, the emperor would give the second prince a little favor, let alone the common people.
If the second prince ascends the throne...
Then this country will become desolate and extravagant.
These two people are not wise monarchs. If the country falls into their hands, Xiao Zisu cannot imagine how bad it will be.
"On my way down the mountain, I met many people. Their clothes were in tatters and their faces were sallow and thin. Over the years, the court used various excuses to ask them to pay a mess of taxes, such as head tax, land tax, household tax, labor tax, transaction tax, salt tax, alcohol tax, tobacco tax..."
Having said this, Xiao Zisu paused slightly for a few seconds, and his voice became uncontrollably lowered. "Their life is already difficult, and many of them starve to death."
Xiao Ziheng was not surprised by what Xiao Zisu said. From the moment he planned to win over the prime minister, Xiao Ziheng could tell that Xiao Zisu was bound to win the position of prince.
It's normal to have thoughts about the throne, but Xiao Ziheng didn't expect that Xiao Zisu's starting point for wanting to become the prince was to help the people...
Interesting.
He is indeed his favorite brother.
"That's why you want to become the crown prince?"
"Hmm."
Now that the words have been said, there is no need to hide anymore. Xiao Zisu simply said frankly to Xiao Ziheng: "Third brother, the purpose of my coming today is to hope that you can help me ascend to the position of crown prince, but if you want to become the crown prince, I can also help you become the crown prince..."
Xiao Ziheng is strategic, skillful and gentle with others. If the final prince is him, Xiao Zisu can accept it.
To put it simply, what Xiao Zisu needs is a monarch who can shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the world. If Xiao Ziheng is willing to take on this responsibility, then Xiao Zisu does not mind assisting him; but if Xiao Ziheng is unwilling to take on this responsibility, he hopes that Xiao Ziheng can help him and win the title of prince.
"I don't want to."
Xiao Ziheng coughed twice and looked pale. "You also know that I am not in good health."
"I can help you find..."
Before Xiao Zisu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Ziheng: "I know my physical condition better than anyone else, not to mention that I am not interested in the position of prince..."
"Then what are you interested in?"
Xiao Zisu's eyebrows showed a bit of urgency. "Money? Power? Beauty? Title?"
Xiao Ziheng shook his head. "No."
The water mist in the center of the hot spring seemed to have weakened a bit. Xiao Ziheng hooked his finger at Xiao Zisu: "... come here."
Maybe it was because of the fog surrounding him, but Xiao Zisu always felt that the atmosphere around him was a bit ambiguous. He suppressed those messy thoughts and said "oh" obediently.
The distance between the two people was instantly shortened.
Xiao Ziheng lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Zisu in front of him, from his black hair to his handsome eyebrows, tall nose, thin and tender lips, to his slightly rolled Adam's apple...
Xiao Zisu felt that Xiao Ziheng's gaze was very aggressive, and he felt a little uncomfortable. "Third brother, if you have... if you have anything to do, just tell me directly..."
"Come here."
Xiao Zisu had no doubt that he was there and obediently walked over to him.
Xiao Ziheng lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Zisu's white jade-like skin, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his warm breath sprayed on the side of his fair neck. "Didn't you ask me what I'm interested in?"
"Hmm."
Too close.
The nearest Xiao Zisu can touch the skin of Xiao Ziheng.
Xiao Ziheng's body has always been relatively cold, but this time after soaking in the hot spring for a long time, his body became boiling hot.
"I'm more interested in you."
Xiao Zisu pupils shrink.
For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating.
The script content is written in such detail in the hope that everyone will have a deeper understanding of "Reign". After all, if nothing else happens, Chu Ci will win the award with the drama "Reign". You can read it as a short story, but some children may not like to watch this kind of plot, so if there are similar script contents, I will write it in the title. If you don't want to read it, you can skip it directly~
In addition, I don't know how long I will write this book. If it is fast, it may be finished next month. If it is slow, I can't say for sure. I hope everyone has a mental expectation. Finally, if you want to see what you want to see, you can leave a message after this paragraph. I will write what I think is appropriate. If there is no message, I will follow my own ideas~
