The Three Kingdoms

Sun Han nodded: "Since I have already walked in, I can't stay out of it. I have to fight or stand in line. For them, if they are not enemies, they must be friends. There is no third way!"

"Then you're going to stand in line?" Zhen Yao's eyes lit up slightly.

"Ok!"

Sun Han does not deny that it is impossible for him to go far away to the Western Regions and stay out of the matter as he did a few years ago. If he does this, it will give people the feeling that he wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and everyone will attack him .

"Then who are you going to choose?" Zhen Yao's Zhongshan mansion had already advanced and retreated with Sun Han, so Sun Han's decision was very important.

"Brother Sheng Yuan probably has little chance!"

Sun Han thought about it for a while: "I don't have many people to choose from, either the elder brother or the little seventh uncle!"

"The first prince has been imprisoned in Yingchuan Academy for a few years, and he has become famous among scholars. He has made many scholars look up to him. Now he has a great reputation, and he is your elder brother. In addition, Empress Zhen and Empress Cai We have always been friends, he should be the best choice!"

Zhen Yao said.

"Indeed!"

Sun Han nodded, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "Brother is already full of wings and full of atmosphere. I heard that many ministers in the court are very satisfied with him. In addition, he is the eldest son of the emperor. According to etiquette, he is the first son of the emperor." The first-in-line heir is naturally the best choice!"

"But..." He thought for a while, then hesitated: "I always feel that elder brother is not as good as little seventh uncle!"

"Sun Dong?"

Zhen Yao frowned: "He is just a son of a concubine. If he was placed in the previous dynasty, he would not have the qualifications to compete for the throne. Even if the people's customs were opened up in the current dynasty, some old-fashioned etiquette was abolished, and there was no distinction between concubine and concubine. Given his background, and the fact that he is the emperor's younger brother, not his heir, if he loses another city, even if the clan's family intends to push him out to compete with the eldest prince, it may be difficult to compete for the eldest prince!"

"That's what I need to say, but uncle, don't forget one thing. Today's son is my father. My father is known as a rare sage king, but in the hearts of the courtiers, especially those old ministers from the previous dynasty, he is not For a qualified king, his strange and broken etiquette rules are very important!"

The corner of Sun Han's mouth raised a smile that was not a smile, and he said helplessly: "The selection of the crown prince, I think, should be chosen according to the wishes of the father, the father will not break the rules of the corner of the mouth, otherwise there will be no Such a battle for succession!"

"You're right, it's better to follow His Majesty's wishes!"

Zhen Yao realized it immediately, but he still hesitated: "But His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the First Prince is His Majesty's son after all, isn't he closer than a younger brother?"

"Back when we were still in the palace and hadn't left the palace to open the mansion, I never thought that my father loved our brothers the most, but I think the one he was most satisfied with might be Little Seventh Uncle!"

Sun Handao: "The former commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, the general who knows the emperor best, Commander Lei Ding once said that Uncle Qi's character may be the person who is most like the emperor father, because no one has ever seen through his secrets. Just like in the imperial court, no one can see through the emperor's mind!"

"When you say that, I'm a little hesitant!"

Zhen Yao suddenly smiled bitterly. This multiple-choice question is either a or b, but it is the most difficult multiple-choice question. Choosing a wrong step may affect the development of the entire Zhen family in the next hundred years, so we must be cautious.

"Uncle, in fact, we don't need to worry so much!"

Sun Han's eyes were full of brilliance: "Actually, when I gave up, I was already sitting on the Diaoyutai. They should be the ones who are anxious. I believe that no matter whether it is the elder brother or the younger uncle, they all hope that I can stand on his side." On the other side, then we can just wait!"

"Wait for them to come!"

"That's right!"

"I just want to see who can impress me!" Sun Han looked at Zhen Yao and said, "Uncle, tomorrow you can spread some rumors for me and say that I voluntarily gave up the East Palace dispute, as long as I say it vaguely." That's fine, I believe someone will come to test me soon!"

"it is good!"

Zhen Yao was very supportive of Sun Han, he nodded to show that he knew what to do.

Sun Han stood up, with his hands on his back, looking at the crescent moon reflected on the lake, and said: "Whoever wants to get my support or the support of the business community, it is best to show some skills. There is no family affection in this matter." , is related to the future of all of us, and I will never act emotionally!"

************

August is getting closer and closer, and the momentum in the court about establishing a crown prince is getting more and more tense. This storm seems to have engulfed the entire Wu court officials, and even the local governor can no longer sit still.

On this day, just after the evening, before sunset, the chief assistant Xun Yu returned home from the cabinet in a sedan chair.

"Master, there are guests!"

An old servant went up to meet him and said in a low voice.

"guest?"

It can be said that Xun Yu has been proud of his horseshoe recently. After ascending to the position of chief assistant, he seems to have a second career in his career, but it does not mean that he will be proud and arrogant. His personality is stable and he will be cautious at all times.

After hearing what the old servant said, he smiled coldly: "It may not be a good guest, maybe it is an unexpected guest!"

It's not that he doesn't know what's going on in the court recently.

It's just that he doesn't really want to blend in.

Now that he is in this position, it’s too late. He just needs to do his job well. As for the other things, such as the selection of the prince, he really doesn’t have to be too sad. Your Majesty is only in his thirties, and he can live for at least 30 to 50 years. , if you live for one year, you can live for four or fifty years, the prince is not very important at all.

It's just that the imperial court needs a reassurance, and His Majesty also needs a reason for the people of the world to allow him to go out.

So he knew very well that His Majesty's agreement to choose the crown prince meant that he was about to launch another campaign to conquer Rome, which was not necessarily a good thing for him.

"Master, it's Wei Guogong, he came in the afternoon, and he has been waiting for more than two hours!"

"Cang Shu?"

Xun Yu smiled wryly: "I knew it, he couldn't avoid it at all!"

Don't look at the current momentum of the Cao Wei faction, which has vaguely surpassed the Jiangdong faction, but that is just an illusion. The background of the Jiangdong faction in the court has always been inferior to that of the Cao Wei faction.

The Great Wu court started from Jiangdong, and the Jiangdong faction was deeply rooted. It's just that the power of the Jiangdong faction has been torn apart by His Majesty's methods over the years, and it is unable to form an influence that can affect his power.

Similarly, the Cao Wei faction has also reached such a critical point. If it is too powerful, it will inevitably be feared by His Majesty. As long as His Majesty is on guard, the Cao Wei faction will not be far from falling apart.

Cao Chong probably also saw this, so since the Cao Wei faction strongly supported him to take the position, he began to fade out of the scope of the Cao Wei faction.

Xun Yu changed his official robe, washed it, and walked into a side hall: "Cang Shu, I've kept you waiting for a long time, you should send someone to notify you before you come, so I'll be back sooner!"

"Uncle is in charge of the cabinet and governs the government affairs of the world. How can you forget about public affairs for private affairs!"

Cao Chong stood up and saluted Xun Yu respectfully: "Besides, Chong Mao's rash visit today has already affected uncle to a certain extent. It's not right to rush!"

"Well, there is no need to say these words, there is no need between us!"

Xun Yu sat down and waved his hand to let him sit down too.

Cao Chong followed his gesture and sat down too.

"Uncle, I came to the door this time to ask for something!" Cao Chong was smart. He knew very well that the more secretive he was in front of Xun Yu, the worse he would be. It might be better to get straight to the point.

"I know what you want to ask for!"

Xun Yu stared at Cao Chong and asked, "But let me ask you a question first, are you ready to fail?"

"If something succeeds, it will naturally fail!"
