Chapter 245 Division B

   Just when the banquet of the Feng family started grandly, the atmosphere in Prince Yizhong's mansion was extremely dignified.

   "What is the prince's intention?" Zhang Dunhu's eyes were already burning with anger, "What is the intention of doing such a move on the grounds that Feng Tang's son was elected?"

   Neither Chu Qi nor Wang Zinian could answer this question well.

Right now is the most sensitive period, and they are a little confused about what kind of monster Wang Ziteng is doing. Feng Tang is indeed a relatively important figure in the entire Wuxun Group, and his son Shuntian Qiuwei is indeed worthy of the examination. Congratulations, but it's a bit eye-catching for you to do things on such a scale.

   What's more important is that you made your own decision without asking for instructions. What does this mean?

Even the Taishanghuang and Prince Yizhong didn't get any news, so they sent out the post in such a day. In name, it was the Feng family who sent the post everywhere, but in fact, if Wang Ziteng didn't exert influence behind his back, he would How many people are there?

   Even if you want to congratulate, will there be such a specification?

   "The subordinates know that the relationship between the prince and General Shenwu is not bad, maybe..."

"Kezhen, do you believe this?" Coldly interrupting Wang Zinian, Zhang Dun said impatiently, "It's not a matter of congratulations or not, the key is why you are so ostentatious? Are you not vigilant enough, or do you feel that the father has left him out in the cold and came to protest?"

  Chu Qi and Wang Zinian's hearts trembled.

  The first question is all angry, but the latter question is a bit intriguing.

  If Wang Ziteng felt that he was sent out of Beijing and was dissatisfied, it would not be impossible to express his dissatisfaction in such a way, but would this make the Supreme Emperor value you?

  Even if the Supreme Emperor has the heart, but in the current situation, can he act rashly?

  Wang Ziteng is not someone who can’t see the situation clearly. He himself participated in the previous round of adjustments. Why can’t he hold back after just over a year?

   When the news came, the prince even dropped his most beloved Ding kiln ancient porcelain teacup.

  For more than a year, the prince has been doing water milling work with the Supreme Emperor, and the prince often stays with the Supreme Emperor, and his purpose is not obvious.

  The emperor was not unaware of this, but he still endured it.

  Now everyone is suffering, it depends on who can bear it first.

   But in the long run, the prince will always be at a disadvantage. Even if the emperor is in good health, age is not forgiving after all, and every day that drags on, the emperor's side will become more stable.

  If it wasn’t for the Shilin event last year that allowed the prince to regain some momentum, I’m afraid the situation on the prince’s side would be even worse.

  Chu Qi pondered deeply. '

He was also a little confused about what Wang Ziteng was thinking. Such a celebration banquet seemed to be nothing, as if it was a celebration for his nephew, but he personally organized it, and it was on such a large scale that it almost covered the entire martial arts group. It has to be thought-provoking.

   Demonstrating his own leadership and influence?

  Prove that although he was released, he still has great influence in this group?

   But what if you proved yourself?

  So Chu Qi was also a little confused, unable to figure out what Wang Ziteng's intentions were.

Wang Ziteng seems to have been very calm for more than a year. After being transferred to the Governor of Xuanda, he also seemed very calm. He spent most of his time in the three towns of Shanxi, Datong and Xuanfu. He didn’t return to Beijing much. It is true that he was worrying about military affairs, but when he came back, there was such a big battle, which caught everyone by surprise.

   "My lord, is there any reaction from the Supreme Emperor?" Chu Qi asked after thinking for a while.

   "Not yet, but Father must know." Yizhong Prince Zhang Dun tried his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart. He always felt that the situation was out of control.

The Wu Xun Group is the most important card in the hands of the father. It can be said that this card can even determine the fate of the future throne. The father still holds this card firmly, and neither he nor the fourth child can insert it for the time being. hand.

Prince Yizhong also knew that according to the usual practice, this card would be handed over to the fourth hand sooner or later, because he occupies the righteousness, but the father has not handed it over yet, and he even has a feeling of wanting to continue to hold on to it. Zhang Dun thought it was an opportunity.

Of course, the fourth child wants to take over the group of this card from his father in a safe and sound manner, but the Wuxun group of Prince Yizhong does not sell the account of the fourth child, and the fourth child does not dare to be too clear, so as not to This is my chance to arouse my father's suspicion.

  In Zhang Dun’s view, even though the fourth child now occupies a righteous position, he is not much stronger than himself in terms of strength, and he even feels that he is not as good as himself.

   Civil servants didn't like the fourth son who didn't like poetry and prose, which was mean and ungrateful, and after he succeeded to the throne, he promoted the reform of scientific research since the beginning of the father emperor, which also aroused great repercussions among scholars.

   The Autumn Grand Competition in the first year of Yonglong almost caused chaos. If the number of places had not been increased in several provinces, it would have triggered a nationwide turmoil.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Dun felt a little regretful, but it was a pity that he didn't have time to prepare for it at the time, and what's more, he didn't realize such an opportunity.

   By the time he realized it, he had already been dealt with decisively by the fourth child. Looking at Jinke Qiuwei, three years is enough for many people to accept this reality, and they can no longer afford trouble.

But in any case, the fourth son's reputation in the civil servants' side is bad, and the civil officials don't like him, and now he doesn't dare to touch the old man left by his father, only the well-behaved Xiao Gui Cao Sui, in the Prince Yizhong looks like a puppet, far less famous than himself among the civil servants.

  If I say that I can win the support of the Wu Xun group who hold the military power inside and outside the capital, then I have no reason not to win this round.

In the former Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, a vassal king, could overthrow his nephew's rule, and the orthodox emperor could also be restored. There is no reason why he can't make a comeback. As long as his father and emperor acquiesce, he is the eldest son of Empress Xiaoren, the prince, and there is no reason why he can't do it. arrive.

  But Wang Ziteng's actions today gave him a very bad signal, making him feel a little bit out of control of the situation.

He originally thought that as long as his father maintained an impartial attitude, he would be able to slowly bring these military officials under his command step by step. Look at Niu Jizong and Chen Daoxian, look at Xiao Junyuan and Shui Rong, look at Liu Fang and Shi Guangzhu, one by one. All of them are getting closer to each other.

  As for a role like Feng Tang, Zhang Dun didn't care too much about it. What's the point of being a general sent out to Yulin?

  But Wang Ziteng's action today poured cold water on him, making him realize that this martial arts group doesn't seem to be as obedient and obedient to him as he imagined.

  Zhang Dun wondered if his father had known about this for a long time. Even Wang Ziteng had reported it to his father, but no one told him.

   While pondering, Chu Qi had already spoken first: "My lord, I'm afraid we need to change some tactics."

   "Oh? Please tell me, Mr. Chu." Zhang Dun cheered up. As a think tank, he has always been very accurate in seeing problems, and the coping strategies he can come up with are also very high-level.

"It turns out that the prince has always hoped to give you some things through the emperor's subtle influence, and we have paid more attention to a few prominent figures, but now it seems that these prominent figures may not be so obedient. Or they have their own ideas, and others may not be willing to listen to them."

  Chu Qi carefully sorted out the conclusions he had drawn from his own analysis, and he realized that he might have believed some people with wishful thinking before.

   "You mean they don't have a backbone now?" Zhang Dun saw the other side.

Chu Qi was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and this statement was correct, and nodded: "Their original backbone is naturally the Taishanghuang, but the subordinates feel that the Taishanghuang is a little quiet now, or doesn't have much thought to ask these questions, um, as time goes by , if there is no one who takes the lead, I am afraid that the spirit of each family will slowly dissipate, and gradually, I am afraid that they will have to find their own way,..."

   "Perhaps that's what the fourth child wants?" Zhang Dunhu's eyes grew a little colder, and he began to rub his hands subconsciously.

"It's hard for my subordinates to say, but if this goes on, it will definitely be detrimental to the prince. Once the situation we predicted before is not what we imagined, it may be a catastrophe, so I feel that I may have to change our strategy." Chu Qi Word by word.

   "Then what do you think we should do?" Zhang Dun took a deep breath.

   "My lord, we need to seriously evaluate those so-called leaders of this group. Maybe they don't have much influence at all, but they are still arrogant. Instead of doing that, it's better to contact those directly..." Chu Qi did not continue.

   "But the father..." Zhang Dun also had some concerns, and now he was becoming more and more confused about his father's attitude.

"My lord, you have to give it a try. On the side of the Supreme Emperor, you can ask the prince to inquire there first. If you are not satisfied, we will discuss it later. If there is no response, you must speed up the progress. The subordinates always feel that the more things go on like this , and if we do not change, the situation may gradually change from favorable to us to unfavorable to us..."

  Chu Qi's tone also became a little cold, "The original attitude of the Supreme Emperor may be beneficial to us, but now, maybe it's time for a proper change."

  When Zhang Dun heard Chu Qi's words, he hesitated again. The deep-rooted fear of his father made him subconsciously not want to go.

Chu Qi sighed. I knew that this prince seemed to be brave and resolute, but he was indecisive in major matters. I shouldn't be on this ship, but it seems a little too late to get off the ship now, "My lord, how about Let’s get to the bottom of the Supreme Emperor first, it’s time to make a decision.”
