After Jia Quan looked at Huang Qiong's extremely rare expression of thoughtfulness after hearing his words, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Quan should say something that shouldn't be said. No matter whether this matter is about the King of Song or the The other princes did it. In the fight between them and the prince, even if I am the one who kills you, you will not be the one who benefits now."
"Quan heard that the fifth son of the King of Shu, who was born in the middle palace, has been summoned to the capital to attend to his illness. He will arrive in the capital in the next two days. This King of Shu has always been deeply loved by the emperor because of his outstanding literary talent. He has been favored many times. He is called the number one among the princes. What's more, there are King Jing and King Duan who are just a stone's throw away from the capital and are also eyeing the position of crown prince."
"Now that the King of Shu is about to enter the capital, King Duan and King Jing should also receive the imperial edict to serve. When the three kings enter the capital, it is estimated that the troubled waters in the capital will be even deeper. By then, the crown prince will have a concubine inside and hurt someone with a secret arrow, and there will be someone outside. The three brothers who pose a greater threat may not have time to take care of the prince by then."
"So Quan believes that if this matter needs to be investigated, it is best to let King Yong investigate. Anyway, King Yong is a troubled king and is famous in the court and the palace. Even if it is found out, the prince and concubine De will not be able to do it." What will happen to him? For them, King Yong, who seeks to protect himself by desecrating himself, is no longer an opponent in their eyes."
"Your Majesty, in fact, if this thing happened, if it was really Concubine De, it means that chaos has arisen in the palace and the court. It's just that the middle palace is still there for a day, and it can still suppress the prince and the other three kings. , even Concubine De, dare not go too far in some things."
""But as long as Yan Jia is in the middle palace, there may be some things that will be difficult to suppress even today. Not only are the four sons born in the middle palace, but the peace currently maintained on the surface will be broken in a short period of time. The original secret struggle will turn into an open struggle at any time. Even Concubine De and King Song would publicly jump out. "
"What the prince should do most now is not to take the initiative to participate in this fight. Instead, he should stand on the tower and watch the mountain scenery. On the one hand, he will be the arm of King Yong, and on the other hand, he will comfort the king as his backing, and develop himself quietly. . It is definitely not at this time to draw the attention of the prince, the concubine, or even other kings to yourself. This will do the prince no good at all."
Huang Qiong nodded approvingly of Jia Quan's analysis and thinking. Although this guy likes to brag sometimes, after all, he still has real talent inside. Many of my ideas were reached after discussions with Chen Yao. But this guy can make a clear and logical analysis based on his own words, which shows that this guy is really not simple.
Regardless of whether this guy sincerely surrendered to him, at least Huang Qiong had to admire his true level. Huang Qiong knew that if he really followed Jia Quan's words, the evil plan of the man behind the scenes to kill three people with one peach would be resolved quietly by him.
Jia Quan's performance today can be said to have gained a lot of points in Huang Qiong's heart. Even if this person is not trustworthy, he can at least be used. Huang Qiong gave Jia Quan this definition in his mind. As for Huang Qiong, he is not the kind of person who can't listen to other people's advice. Jia Quan's idea clearly told him to swallow his anger. Huang Qiong, who knew his own weaknesses very clearly, was not completely unable to accept it.
In fact, what Jia Quan said was very vague, but his intention to ask King Yong to investigate this matter was very clear. Just tell Huang Qiong that you have no strength now. The forces in the DPRK are a blank slate, and even many officials who were promoted to high positions through the Huaiyang Rebellion regard you as your enemy.
If King Yong were to investigate, he would at most be able to find out who did it, but the person behind the scenes could not be found out by those gangsters in King Yong's hands. Let King Yong investigate. In fact, at most, he can give the real mastermind behind the scenes a not-too-strong warning, telling him that he doesn't just have no ability to fight back, and no matter how many threats he poses, there will be no more.
Who would personally step in when doing things like planting nails around others? I'm afraid that when I did it, I had already prepared a hundred ways to retreat. Jia Quan bets that if King Yong investigates this matter, he will at most be able to find out who did it. As for the person behind the scenes, King Yong cannot find out.
And in Jia Quan's view, even if it was found out who was behind it, it would be of little use. You don't even have anyone to speak for you now. Even if you raise this matter to the sky, the most the emperor can do is to comfort you. It might even be worse to turn someone who was not the main enemy into an obvious opponent, and that would be even worse than the loss.
Therefore, Jia Quan was very cryptic, but it could be regarded as a semi-straightforward admonishment to Huang Qiong, and it would be over once the person handling the matter was found out and dealt with. As for other things, if you really can't take advantage, don't pursue it. Rather than getting yourself involved easily, it would be more appropriate to wait and fish in troubled waters.
In fact, Huang Qiong understood and listened to the meaning of Jia Quan's words. He also knew that this was not because Jia Quan looked down on him, but because he was really in such an embarrassing situation right now. Jia Quan was right, standing on the tower and viewing the mountain view was the most appropriate choice for him now.
Rather than rashly getting involved, it is better to stand back and wait and see what happens. Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease. Although it means that you know that the medicine is bitter, as long as it can cure the disease, you have to bite the bullet and swallow it, right? Regarding Jia Quan's words, although Huang Qiong appeared calm on the surface, in fact, she had accepted Jia Quan's advice in her heart.
I just don't know if Jia Quan knew that he worked so hard to help Huang Qiong analyze and judge, but he would only be a two-word evaluation in the young prince's mind. Not even getting the word "trustworthy", whether he would feel unusually embarrassed or not, only Jia Quan himself knows.
But it's obvious that Jia Quan doesn't have the ability to really see through what's going on in people's heads. Looking at Huang Qiong who fell silent after listening to his words, he knew that although the young prince had not said anything on the surface, he had actually accepted his thoughts in his heart. Although this prince is young, he still accepts advice, and Jia Quan thinks he is very satisfied.
It is said that good birds choose trees to roost in. Although I am not considered a good bird, not all trees can accommodate me. Although this young prince has almost nothing except a status like a tablet, he is just a blank piece of paper. But it’s better to put pen to paper on a blank page, right?
What's more, this prince can still listen to different opinions, and this is enough. At least it is more suitable to be a good bird than those princes with eyes on the top of their heads. What's more, although this prince is young, he is not generally smart and can always make the best choice for himself in the shortest time.
He also knew that although sometimes it was embarrassing to have his teeth knocked out and blood swallowed, he could still accept it as long as it was beneficial to him. Although the principle of taking a step back to open up the world is simple and everyone knows it, there are only a few people who can actually do it. Although the prince in front of him is young, he can actually do it. This is not uncommon.
Thinking of this, Jia Quan, who was convinced that his good minister had met his master, did not care about Huang Qiong's face, but continued: "Quan heard that since he entered the palace, the prince has never left the house or even stepped out. It's just that Studying in the mansion. Quan understands that the prince is consciously showing weakness to the emperor and the prince. But the emperor and the prince may not think so."
"My lord, have you ever thought that sometimes what you do is counterproductive? Think about it, you have been imprisoned in the cold palace together with Concubine Jing since Luocao, and you have not taken a step out of the cold palace in eighteen years. . It can be said that since I came to the palace, I have only seen the colorful world outside the cold palace."
"A young man who has only been able to move around in a small courtyard for eighteen years was so calm when he saw this colorful world. Instead of showing the excitement that a young man should have, he has been staying in the house honestly. Yes. Although you have the idea of avoiding disaster, in the eyes of those who doubt everything, you have become an abnormality and a monster."
"My lord, don't forget, although you know that you have a special status, you are only an eighteen-year-old young man after all, and you have never seen the outside world. Now that you are so indifferent to the colorful world outside, your Majesty Or the prince, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you are timid or fearful, or that you look young and immature.”
"I'm afraid what they think more is that you are consciously showing off to them, which might arouse their suspicion even more. My lord, it seems that you can go out openly. For example, go to Luoyang City. Go for an outing in the pleasant places around. There are many picturesque places around Luoyang City."
"You can also go horseback riding and do some elegant things like drinking wine and singing. As long as you don't go to that smoky place and don't deliberately make friends with officials, even the emperor and the prince can't find anything wrong with you. Even if Even Prince Ji, who was as timid as a mouse and was afraid of hitting his head when a leaf fell, did not stay in the mansion like you all day long."
"Although I don't dare to hook up with officials, it is common for me to go against some literati by reciting poems, taking my lovely wives and concubines to enjoy the snow in winter, and going out of the city to enjoy the scenery in spring. And Quan concluded that although this King Ji said I am a little timid, so Your Majesty, if you stay at the gate of the mansion all day long, it will be more likely to arouse some people's suspicion and even uneasiness."
"So, you do need to be taboo about some things, but there is no need to take it to such an extent. Today, I would like to advise you that there are some things that you are afraid of doing too much. In a word, do whatever you want to do, and you can only be relaxed and relaxed. Dispelling some people’s unnecessary doubts.”
"And my lord, you don't know how to ride a horse yet? You'd better learn this, maybe you'll be able to use it one day. Although the prince of this dynasty has never had a precedent of commanding an army since Taizong, there are some things that may not be possible. It's just not possible at all. Besides, in times of crisis, riding a horse is much more convenient than riding a sedan."
"Quan saw that there were several royal horses in the mansion that should have been rewarded by the emperor. Although these royal horses cannot charge into battle or carry you galloping around, it is still okay for you to practice your equestrian skills. Besides, the Emperor Taizu of this dynasty, He is equivalent to a horse emperor born as a warrior."
"Although since Emperor Gaozong, the literary style of this dynasty has begun to flourish, riding and archery skills have not been taken seriously. However, emperors of all dynasties have required princes to practice riding and archery to show that they do not forget their roots. Although most princes and princes of this dynasty generally travel by horse Custom-made sedan, I'm afraid the skills of riding and shooting have long been forgotten. But after all, there are ancestral teachings, you can find a place to practice riding, and others can't say anything."
