After passing through the book, I married the male protagonist’s villain brother

"What's on the border?"

"There are... troops at the border?"

Seeing that she finally got to the point, Shi Wei took a sip of the tea he had just ordered and said, "Connect these things together and you get it right away?"

Sheng Qingtang's eyes lit up, "I understand, there should be almost no such high-quality hairpins in the capital, and the prime minister's wife wears this hairpin because it was given to her by someone else. It is relatively rare and matches her status."

"However, this also shows that the officials in the southwest are connected to the Prime Minister's Office, and the most powerful person in the southwest is the general who controls the military. It is impossible for such a good jade to leave the southwest without his permission."

"The whole thing is probably related to the Prime Minister's Office and the general in the southwest. Maybe they have cooperated."

Shi Wei nodded, "Yes, they have united. What does this mean?"

Under Shi Wei's gaze, Sheng Qingtang said word by word, "This shows that the third prince already has military power in his hands!"

"Yes, he already has military power, but the troops in the southwest are too far away and cannot easily control the imperial city. This is also his weakness."

"So, this force is just a way out for the third prince to add to his power. If one day he fails to seize the throne, as long as he leaves the capital, he can still break the earth and become the king."

Sheng Qingtang had never thought that there would be such a result. She thought that the prince's seizure of the legitimate son was generally in the capital, and the place was full of spies, because to some extent, the seizure of the legitimate son was also the seizure of the Holy Heart.

Shi Wei asked again, "What else can you think of from this matter?"

Sheng Qingtang thought about the overall situation carefully, and she felt that it was impossible for the third prince to have all his troops and leave himself a way out of the capital.

"There must be someone from the Third Prince among the guards of the capital or the governor of Jingzhao, so that the overall situation can survive and the power he has gained through hard work has not been abolished."

"anything else?"

"There is more?" Sheng Qingtang couldn't believe that she had analyzed it to this point, and there was actually more?
She closed her eyes and thought carefully about the distribution of the Third Prince's power. Was he connected with Southwest through the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Probably not, civil servants and military attachés are indifferent in most cases.

How did the third prince get in touch?
Unless the local official in the southwest has some relationship with the third prince, or the third prince has a private force.

But this is not right. Military strength is the most sensitive thing. To get one is already a desperate act. It is impossible to get another one.

Especially when the country is in dire straits.

Seeing that she couldn't think of anything, Shi Wei gave her a reminder, "The troops and horses haven't moved yet."

Sheng Qingtang's eyes widened, "Food and grass go first! The third prince must have a lot of food and grass in his hands."

Shi smiled and nodded, "It is the easiest time to get into chaos when seizing the heir. Few of those high-ranking princes can really see the suffering in the world. In their understanding, there are only factions, and there is no distinction between good and bad people. , Even if it’s a corrupt official, even if it’s a waste of human life, as long as it brings them benefits, I can tolerate it.”

"If it is a wise king, they may deal with it after winning, but how many people will die during this period is not in their consideration."

"I have met many princes, but very few of them really have the people of Li in their hearts. They often only care about power and proving themselves, proving that their unscrupulous methods in fighting for the throne are right, because he is a wise king and can Famous for eternity."

"My lord, if you have read the history books, you should know very well that there were many emperors who killed their brothers and fathers in order to seize the throne. After they came to power, they worked hard to govern. They were afraid that if they did not do well, they would be infamy for thousands of years."

"So, the information we can get here is that the struggle for heirs has entered a fierce stage. The generals on the frontier are not easily bribed. They are not in the capital all year round and are directly under the emperor. Whoever becomes the emperor, they are all heroes."

Shi Wei glanced at Sheng Qingtang and motioned for her to continue, "For the generals on the border to surrender, it is most likely that the food and grass were withheld by people in the court, or directly corrupted. Seizing the direct descendants is the most expensive. "

"Then what makes the most money?" Sheng Qingtang is a businessman himself, so what makes the most money? "The business that is not allowed by law is the most profitable!"

"So will this third prince be a good king in the future?"

Shi Wei's question directly caused Sheng Qingtang's CPU to burn out. From the current point of view, the third prince seems to be both good and evil. He puts his own interests first and wins the heir first. As for whether he is a suitable monarch, it completely depends on him. Not coming out.

But one thing is, "He is not a ruler with a bottom line."

Things that are not allowed to be done according to the law, except those that undermine the country's foundation, are harmful to the people.

If he dares to do such a business, it means that he has lost his bottom line as a human being and has become a slave to power.

Shi Wei nodded with satisfaction, "I hope you can figure this out."

"Lord, many things have many sides. People are the most fickle in the world. Don't trust anyone. Don't stay in the memory of the past just because they were loyal to you."

"When someone threatens your status and safety, you would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."

Sheng Qingtang had heard this sentence before, and it was still a very popular personal signature.

"I understand. I am not alone. There are countless people behind me. If I die, the chaos will just begin, and more people will die."

It's like a modern group. If they fail to choose a successor, they are suddenly hit and killed by a car, and there is no one in the family who can really suppress everyone.

There will definitely be chaos, internal struggles for power, and people below who really want to work will not feel at ease.

Seeing that Sheng Qingtang really listened, Shi Wei stopped talking. As a minister, you must act like a minister. I teach you that the Lord cannot really regard himself as an elder.

Otherwise, you really won’t live long.

"My lord, you might as well analyze it further. What is the purpose of the bracelet that the daughter of the Minister of Rites gave to the young daughter of the Du family?"

Sheng Qingtang recalled all the information. The Minister of Rites was a member of the Ninth Prince, but the Ninth Prince was definitely not a member of the Third Prince.

Because if the royal brothers cooperate, there is no need for outsiders to bridge the gap.

There is no need to find your own subordinates to set up lines.

Therefore, the Ninth Prince and the Third Prince are enemies on the battlefield to fight for the heir.

"Mr. Shi, could it be that the Minister of Rites' family felt that the Ninth Prince had little chance of winning, so they placed another bet on themselves."

Thinking of this, Sheng Qingtang shook his head again, "The Minister of Rites is not a real high-ranking official. These princes are more thoughtful than a honeycomb. They don't dare to bet on two families, otherwise they might die before the heirloom is over."

"The most disobedient thing here is Du's young daughter. She accepted this bracelet."

As a legitimate daughter, then a legitimate youngest daughter, she must have received a careful upbringing.

As far as she knew, the more powerful the family, the more they valued education. Not only men's education, but women's education was also important.

The water thrown out by a married daughter will not be ignored when the Nine Tribes are punished because your daughter is already married. (End of chapter)
