Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

In the southern city of Kyoto, there is a tall building. The top of the building is wide on all sides. Dozens of people can sit here without feeling crowded. There is a table in the middle of the pavilion, and a pot of wine is boiling. A strong aroma of wine is emitted. , looking at Yujing Academy from here, you can see it at a glance.

Three figures sit opposite each other:

The eldest prince, Prince Xuan!

The second prince, Prince Ming!

The third prince is the king!

These three people are the three famous princes of the Dayu Dynasty.

To the east, the eldest prince, Prince Xuan, was dressed in a purple robe with gold patterns. He was handsome, with eyes that shot into the cold stars, and a majestic air. He picked up a cup of hot tea, blew it gently, and said:

"I heard that Chu Junyan came to Beijing last night."

To the north is the second prince, King Ming. King Ming has a tall body, bronze complexion, and clear and deep facial features. He is a bit wild and unrestrained. When he heard what King Xuan said, he said with disdain:

"So what if she comes? Does she dare to come out? She has to hide in Yujing Academy for a few days. Sneaking is always a trick."

The third prince of the West, Prince Yu, was dressed in pure white robes, spotless. He picked up the cup with his slender fingers and wiped it carefully with a white handkerchief. He lowered his head with a sharp and deep gaze, which gave people a sense of oppression. His voice was soft and gentle:

"Tell me, who will my father choose, the fourth child or the fifth child?"

Prince Xuan held the tea cup in his hand, looked at Yujing Academy in the distance, and chuckled:

"Father has already chosen the fourth and fifth sons. Which one will the two eldest ladies of the Zhenguo Mansion choose?

Since the general of Zhenguo dares to agree to this matter, then they should have enough means to choose one of them. "

"With enough means, wouldn't it be Chu Junyan's chance to go to court in three days?" Prince Ming remained disdainful, "It seems that my father is still kind to the general. Chu Junyan is good, but he put her down so quickly." It was too early to be promoted to general, causing some people to be confused about their identities."

King Yu saw that the teacup in his hand was reflected by him, and smiled slightly, then he picked up the handkerchief and put it on the handle of the hot pot, and poured out a cup of strong tea.

"After all, the general has worked hard and made great achievements for the Yu Dynasty. It is normal for my father to treat him leniently, and it does not matter whether they choose the fourth or fifth child."

King Yu took a sip of tea, the aroma of tea overflowed, and he continued with a sense of satisfaction:

"I have to say that Chu Junyan has the style of a great general. She is even better than the old. If she can be conquered, the Yu Dynasty will be able to add a top general."

"It's a pity that she is not loyal to the royal family!" Prince Xuan sighed with a look in his eyes.

My father had already given the Zhenguo Mansion a chance. Otherwise, how could Chu Junyan, who was only eighteen years old, become one of the ten generals of the Dayu Dynasty? Not a good story.

It’s a pity that Chu Junxiong doesn’t want to!

In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with what the royal family did, and there was nothing wrong with what the general of the Zhenguo Mansion did. No one lives for profit.

Then it's up to you to use your own methods.

King Ming and King Yu were silent.

After pondering for a moment, King Yu narrowed his eyes and asked again:

"Do you think they will choose the fourth or fifth child?"

King Yu once again proposed the purpose of their gathering.

Prince Ming said: "As long as they are not stupid, they will not choose the idiot Lao Si."

The sigh in Prince Xuan's eyes has turned into indifference:

"Yes, it would be great if you choose the fourth child!"

With the obvious ambition of the fourth child and the disgusting performance, the three of them were able to play the fourth child to death and drag down the Zhenguo Mansion.

King Yu’s beautiful eyebrows wrinkled:

"If it is Lao Wu, it will be a bit difficult. Lao Wu will most likely not interfere in the fight between us, and the Zhenguo Mansion just has a reason to avoid the battle for the crown prince, and it can also allow Chu Qingyan to leave Kyoto quickly."

"So, we are gathering here for nothing, wasting time?" King Ming saw that the three of him had similar analysis, so what was there to talk about.

"Don't worry, it's been a long time since we sat down so calmly. It's not certain if Chu Qingyan chooses the fourth child. Why don't we make some preparations in advance."

Prince Xuan said with a faint look, "Father will not let our struggle end so soon."

"I heard that there are forces in several states that are ready to move, and some people no longer take the imperial court seriously."

Prince Yu narrowed his eyes, looked at Prince Xuan and said, "You are saying that in which states my father will make his next move, using the Zhenguo Mansion as an introduction."

Seeing that King Yu was still pretending, King Xuan sneered:

"Can't you guess? Lao Wu's fiefdom should be right there!"

King Ming had a solemn expression and said in a deep voice:

"No matter who succeeds the throne, you, me or him, we must solve the hidden dangers in these states. It is time for us to prepare in advance."

"How to do it?" King Yu asked.

Prince Xuan expressed his thoughts at the moment:

"Do you think Father will let us go early?"

Prince Ming's eyes lit up: "Are you saying that Father asked us to deal with these forces?"

King Yu continued: "Everyone goes to a place?"

Prince Ming couldn't wait to say: "Then I will go to Mengzhou. The grassland dynasty on the border of Mengzhou dares to harass our border over and over again. I have long wanted to go to the battlefield and kill everyone!"

Prince Xuan and Prince Yu knew that Prince Ming liked to fight. They looked at each other and understood the meaning.

Each chooses a state without conflict.

The three of them are both rivals and collaborators.

But don’t rush to choose now, after all, this kind of thing still needs to be considered.

King Xuan smiled when he saw that King Yu understood what he meant.

Just understand.

As long as the three of them have discussed it, the initiative of their father's assignment will be in their hands.

"What should we do about Chu Junyan and the others?" Prince Yu did not answer immediately, but changed the subject.

"Now it's the fourth and fifth boys' business. Just watch their performance quietly."

"Whether it's the fourth child or the fifth child, let's just leave it to fate from now on!"
