Red makeup against the world

Chapter 637 Analyzing the General Trend
The three were thinking about each other for a long time, Wu Sheng asked: "Second brother, you have the most news at hand. According to your analysis, which one should the Wu family support?"

Wu Zhengxiang was waiting for this question.After pondering for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "I think King Qi is a better choice."

"Why?" Wu Lie asked: "King Qi doesn't take the position. With the style of those corrupt scholars in the court, it is much more difficult for him to ascend the throne than the crown prince."

Wu Zhengxiang smiled confidently, and said: "Fame? To be honest, the prince is just the son of the former deposed princess. His mother and concubine were deposed by the former emperor before becoming a queen. If the emperor didn't care about the old love, how could he become the prince .In terms of status, the King of Qi born by Empress Cao is the eldest son of the legitimate family."

This set of theories was not created by Wu Zhengxiang.As early as when the crown prince was established, some ministers had questioned the identity of the crown prince, but Emperor Qinglong suppressed it with forceful means.

Wu Sheng nodded, and said: "Second brother is right. If you really want to talk about it, your status is not unshakable. But the crown prince has a deep foundation, and he has the full support of Guan University scholars. On the other hand, King Qi, although he has the help of the Dingguo government , but Princess Zhaoyang has married Khitan far away, so it may not be optimistic."

Wu Zhengxiang smiled lightly and said, "Brother, you all ignored the existence of a person."

"Who?" Wu Lie and Wu Sheng asked in unison.

"Fang Shuyu." Wu Zhengxiang said: "Shao Zhan Shi of Qi Wang Zhan Shi's residence. He comes from a scholarly and famous family. He has the talents of the world and the world. He is the most shining star in the Hanlin Academy. If he hadn't resigned suddenly to Qi Wang Zhan Shi The mansion will definitely be the candidate for the next great scholar, and the position of prime minister can be expected."

"Really?" The two of Wu Lie belonged to the Wu Xun Group, and their understanding of the ministers in the court was limited to those important ministers in power.The two of them had no way of knowing about someone like Fang Shuyu.

Wu Zhengxiang nodded: "King Qi has a much better reputation among the people than the prince. For so many years, he has not done any major events that attract the attention of the people, and he will not arouse the suspicion of the emperor. You see, he has been silent. No sound, until Princess Zhaoyang married far away and he established the Zhan Shifu, he did not appear in people's field of vision."

"Based on his forbearance, he must be the one who will do great things. The crown prince's trump card has long been known to everyone. The nobles who support him are nothing more than Changping Marquis Mansion, Jinnan Marquis Mansion, Anping Marquis Mansion, and Yongle Bo Mansion. These are just a few. But King Qi, his hole cards are hidden. Brother, tell me, who are on the side of King Qi?"

Wu Sheng thought about it hard, but he couldn't think of it, and Wu Lie also looked at a loss.

Now it is not a fixed number of people who speak for King Qi in the court hall.It was as if they were in a state of disunity, and there was no clear evidence that could prove that they belonged to King Qi.

"However, I know that Mr. Zhu from Yushitai has belonged to King Qi from the very beginning, and he only acted in the name of Princess Zhaoyang before."

"What?" The two Wu Lie were startled in unison.The Yushitai can be regarded as the Qingliu among the Qingliu. Although a group of Yushi are not of high rank, they are all eloquent when they hear about their affairs.When did King Qi recruit such a person?

Wu Zhengxiang nodded slowly, and said, "So, will you still doubt my judgment of King Qi?"

In fact, Wu Zhengxiang didn't have a good impression of King Qi.He was in charge of the shadow guard before, and knew a lot of things that King Qi did.He saw the scenery Jiyue was magnanimous, but the ruthless methods under his hands were not inferior to the crown prince at all.As expected, they are all the blood of Emperor Qinglong's direct relatives, and they are really in the same line!
But compared with the prince, King Qi has more bottom line in doing things after all.Emperor Qinglong was not obsessed with female sex, apart from the two of them, there was only King Chu, an adult prince.If he had to choose between the two, Wu Zhengxiang would naturally choose King Qi instead of King Chu.

"Yesterday, Liu Qiran came to our door and wanted to form an alliance with us on the matter of seizing the heir. It seems that even he has realized the danger of the situation. Why do we have to delay? The sooner we make a decision, the better for us."

After Wu Zhengxiang finished speaking, the three fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Wu Lie slapped the table with his big palm, and said in a deep voice: "Yizhi, you represent the Wu family to contact King Qi. If he holds the handle of the prince, then we will support him with all our strength."

It was not easy for Wu Lie to make such a decision.But he was convinced of Wu Zhengxiang's judgment.

The son disappeared for eight full years, and during that time, there was no news of him except that he returned home on his own initiative.And every time he appeared, earth-shaking changes took place in him.From being ferocious like a wild wolf at the beginning, to gradually calm and introverted later, but the light like a wild wolf is hidden deep in his eyes.

He never asked what happened to him in those years. He knew that he was an unqualified father and was not qualified to ask.But, after all, father and son are united, ever since Wu Zhengxiang won the award of General Yunhui again, and appeared in Duke Zhongguo's mansion, he knew those times, and he lost them forever.He knew better that his son had acquired a unique status beside the emperor.

Hearing that he had made a decision, Wu Zhengxiang lightened his body, nodded and said: "Okay, my son waits for the opportunity to do it. After the result, I will tell my elder brother and father."

In the vortex of seizing the heir, the samurai family needs to work together to survive this crisis safely.

If he is still alone, he can naturally act recklessly.With his kung fu and strategy, if nothing can be done, he can leave in the air.But now that she has Xu Wanzhen and has a bond in her heart, she can't be as unrestrained and unrestrained as before.

This life, since he survived many storms, Wu Zhengxiang has no plans to hand it over easily in the future.He made up his mind to protect Xu Wanzhen. In this case, the Wu family must protect King Qi from ascending the throne, so that they can enjoy peace for decades.

……

At the moment of Shen Shi, Tu Manzhen jumped out of the carriage in a hurry, and without waiting for Swift to find a soft sedan for the inner house, she hurriedly walked towards Zhiyuanju with her skirt in her hands.

Entering the courtyard, the afternoon sun lazily shines on the treetops and eaves of the courtyard, creating a peaceful and calm scene.

Tu Manzhen couldn't help but relax, slowed down her pace, and went to the east wing to visit Tu Manfen.

"Sister is back?" Tu Manfen half-sat on the bed and looked over. She didn't sleep well last night and woke up not long after a nap.

Tu Manzhen smiled and said, "Did sister take her medicine on time? How do you feel?"

Tu Manfen kept telling herself not to think wildly, and said with a smile: "Sister Lao is worried, she is very stable. Have you seen your mother? Is she in good health?"

"Sister, don't worry, mother is fine. Father also knows about this matter, and he will go to Anpinghou's Mansion to seek justice in a few days. My sister can rest at ease, and mother will arrange everything." Tu Manzhen did not say that Lin Tu Manfen couldn't help her if she had evidence before she would come to the door, saying it would only disturb her mind.
