I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Lin Fan defeated Lin Rui by one body position.

At the finish line, Lin Fan smiled and said, "Second brother, this is just luck, please don't mind it."

Although Lin Fan's expression was calm, it was clearly mocking, which made Lin Rui, who had already lost, even more unhappy.

In his eyes, Lin Fan was a piece of trash, and he actually lost to a piece of trash?

So, I am even worse than trash?

Lin Rui could never accept this!

"Again! It must be you who cheated!" Lin Rui gritted his teeth, his face full of indignation.

Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "There's still one more game to go, second brother, just do your best."

After saying that, Lin Fan left and prepared.

What Lin Fan used was the method of Tian Ji in horse racing.

However, Lin Fan was worried that Lin Rui would notice something, so he made sarcastic remarks to deliberately provoke her.

After all, Lin Fan didn't know horse riding before, but he insisted on comparing himself with others, and even deliberately added some bonuses. This was not reasonable!

But Lin Fan really overestimated Lin Rui's cunning. At this moment, Lin Rui was filled with 100% anger and didn't think deeply about it at all.

Just because Lin Rui can’t see it doesn’t mean the court officials can’t.

A trace of surprise flashed through Emperor Liang's mind. It turned out that he had underestimated Lin Fan.

"Although the eldest prince's trick is not sophisticated, it is just right for the second prince. Everyone says that the eldest prince is stupid, but it seems that it is the world that is ignorant." Prime Minister Wang Chengen stroked his beard, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

Everyone knows that Lin Rui and Lin Fan are competing for the position of crown prince, and the second prince Lin Rui is also secretly trying to win over ministers.

Wang Chengen served as an official for forty years and met many people.

He looked down upon Lin Rui's despicable methods.

So Wang Chengen did not take sides immediately. He did not believe that Nian Jiao's son was really a waste.

Sure enough, his guess has now been verified.

"This kid is really hard to guess."

Wang Chengen stared at Lin Fan at the horse farm with deep eyes.

The ministers from Lin Rui's lineage also discovered the clue at this time and said secretly: What a good plan.

But they couldn't make too many excuses or cover up. How to arrange the horses was a personal choice.

Lin Rui lost this confrontation.

They could only hope that Lin Rui could win the competition with his superb horsemanship.

"Gee! Gee!" Lin Rui whipped the horse's butt frantically, trying to win.

It’s just that the quality of the horses is different. Although the horse Lin Fan rides is not a top-quality horse, it is one grade better than Lin Rui’s horse.

If the horses are of the same quality, you can indeed win by relying on equestrianism.

And now...

The speeds of their horses were different. On the straight racetrack, Lin Fan only had to make sure he didn't fall off the horse.

"The eldest prince wins!"

After Lin Fan reached the finish line, the young eunuch had to announce Lin Fan's victory in advance.

"He actually won?!" Xiang Long was extremely shocked. Who would have thought that Lin Fan, who couldn't even get on a horse, could actually win?

"I have lived up to my father's expectations and luckily defeated my second brother." Lin Fan walked onto the stands.

Emperor Liang's expression remained normal, without a trace of emotion, he just stared at Lin Fan deeply.

"Father, I don't accept the result!" Lin Rui said unconvinced.

"He cheated!"

"If you lose, you lose. Why don't you dare to admit it?" Emperor Liang scolded.

"Father..." Lin Rui wanted to continue to explain, but Emperor Liang just stared at him coldly, and Lin Rui was so scared that he dared not speak again.

"Since you've lost, then fulfill the bet." Emperor Liang said.

"I... I'm not as good as my elder brother!" Lin Rui held it in for a long time and said in a very small voice.

"Fan'er, what do you think?" Emperor Liang looked at Lin Fan with deep eyes.

"I am just having a discussion with my second brother. As for the so-called bet, it is just a joke and should not be taken seriously. My brother and I are from the same roots. If this matter damages our relationship, it would make me anxious." Lin Fan said.

Emperor Liang nodded, feeling confused.

Lin Fan seemed like a different person.

If Lin Fan asked Lin Rui to shout out loudly that he was not as good as him, he would be happy to see it happen.

But Lin Fan didn't do that, which made Emperor Liang unable to understand Lin Fan at this moment.

"Hmph, you were the one who cheated!" Lin Rui muttered.

Emperor Liang glared at Lin Rui.

Although Lin Fan is now superior to Lin Rui, he has no foundation except the support of the Nian family.

Emperor Liang was also fully aware of Lin Rui's attempts to win over court officials, and he even acquiesced to it.

Now that Lin Rui has suffered a setback, it’s good, as it can temper his temper.

"Your Majesty." Hai Long, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, ran forward quickly.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu, the Liao, and the Jin all sent envoys to the capital at the same time," Hailong said.

"What?" Emperor Liang was furious when he heard this.

The Xiongnu, Liao, and Jin were nominally vassal states of Daliang, but they sent people directly to Beijing without even asking for permission from Emperor Liang?

His heart is different.

The court officials looked at each other and all sensed something unusual.

Daliang has just destroyed the State of Yan, and these three countries immediately sent people here. What is their intention?

Emperor Liang took his men away.

On the racecourse, there were only Lin Fan, Lin Rui and others.

"Don't be too proud. Don't forget what's going to happen in four days." Lin Rui gritted his teeth.

"Don't worry, brother. I have already made some progress." Lin Fan looked calm and turned to leave.

Lin Rui stared at Lin Fan's back, gritting his teeth in hatred.

"Xu Shun!"

"I'm here." The attendant Xu Shun stepped forward.

"Did you succeed?" Lin Rui asked.

"I stole the glass bottle last night, but... the poison gas in the bottle is nowhere to be found." Xu Shun said hesitantly.

"Huh?" Lin Rui said dissatisfiedly, looking at Xu Shun with murderous intent.

"I will go again tonight and find it even if I have to dig three feet deep into the ground." Xu Shun said fearfully.

"That's better. Don't forget your family!" Lin Rui glanced at Xu Shun coldly and threatened.

"Yes, yes, I understand!"

……

"Brother Xiang, have you spotted anyone with the ability to hide?" Lin Fan asked.

"Three of them have this ability, but in my opinion, only one of them is the most suspicious." Xiang Long thought for a while and said.

"How do you know?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"Intuition." Xiang Long said firmly.

Lin Fan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Check this person. I want to know all his details. I think it shouldn't be difficult given the ability of the Nian family, right?" Lin Fan said calmly.

"There should be a reply tomorrow." Xiang Long affirmed.

Emperor Liang has the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the Nian family, as the largest aristocratic family, naturally also has its own system.

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Council of State.

"My dear ministers, what do you think the three countries outside the Great Wall are trying to do?" Emperor Liang asked with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, I believe that these three countries are here to test us."

"Now that our dynasty has just defeated Yan, although we have won a great victory, our strength is inevitably damaged."

"If the three kingdoms outside the Great Wall confirm that our dynasty's strength has declined, they will definitely invade the south."

Wang Chengen spoke in a deep voice.

"Well, what does General Nian think about this matter?" Emperor Liang looked at Nian Gui and asked.

"Your Majesty, although our army's strength has declined, it is just three kingdoms. I do not take them seriously."

"If the three kingdoms dare to move south, I am willing to lead the troops to stop them."

Nian Guidao.

Nian Gui was very clear that he had made great contributions and had surpassed his master, so he was unwilling to get involved in court affairs.

"With General Younian's words, I feel relieved. I will invite the envoys of the three countries to the court meeting tomorrow! In addition, let all the princes participate as well." Emperor Liang said.

Everyone was shocked. Compared to the developments of the Three Kingdoms, they were more shocked by Emperor Liang’s last words.

Let all the princes attend the court meeting?

Is this, planning to train an heir?
