"Boy, let that scoundrel Medicine Master Huiri win the competition tonight."
When it was almost noon, Inugami Mita Shu said something to Tang Ping without thinking, and then slammed the door of the room where pharmacist Eri and Yamabei's elder brother Wang were studying.
"Yakushi Huiri, it's time, take Prince Shanbei out for dinner!"
If it hadn't been for his own house, he would probably have broken in directly.
"Hmph!" Pharmacist Huirui pushed out the door with a livid face, followed by the pale brother Shanbei.
"Eat, take an hour's rest after eating!" Medicine Master Hui Ri looked at Shanbei's eldest brother and said.
This Inugami Santian refused to give him a little more time, so he would naturally be stuck in the study time of his elder brother Shanbei in the afternoon.
The afternoon was longer than the morning, so it was just right to ask him to rest for an hour after eating.
And Inugami Mita Shu had no intention of taking advantage of Yakushi Huihi, and had no objection to Yakushi Huihi's words.
Moreover, the two unruly old men each took a big bowl, filled it with food, and sat far away from the eldest brother Shanbei outside the house to show that they would not give him any advice at this time.
"How are you studying?" Tang Ping asked Shanbei's eldest brother Wang, taking the initiative to pick up a chopstick dish.
"What do you think?" Shanbei's eldest brother Wang glared at him: "Why do I still need to learn these things now?"
"It's you who wants to be the emperor, not us!" Tang Ping said matter-of-factly.
Then he bent down and put his head on the table, and whispered: "But during the exam tonight, can you pretend that you didn't understand much on both sides?"
"Why are you pretending?" Shanbei's eldest brother Wang asked strangely.
Tang Ping could only explain patiently: "Because these two old men are not simple. If both of them are willing to help you, then you will be one step closer to your great cause."
"No, I mean why are you pretending? I've been studying all morning but I just didn't understand it!" Shanbei's eldest brother Wang said honestly.
"Bang!" Tang Ping's chin hit the table. He never expected that what Shanbei's eldest brother Wang said by "why do you have to pretend" meant that he didn't have to pretend at all, he just couldn't!
"Okay, you eat first and have a good rest after eating!" Tang Ping patted the shoulder of Shanbei's elder brother Wang. He finally knew why when he went out just now, pharmacist Huiri looked like he hadn't pooped in three days. .
After finishing the meal, Inugami Mita Shu took Yamabei's eldest brother Wang into the room, while pharmacist Eri and Tang Ping sat at the stone table outside the yard.
He glanced at the room where the two of them were studying, then refilled a cup of tea for himself, and asked Tang Ping somewhat complicatedly: "Do you know what made me win over the adults in the past?"
Tang Ping shook his head and began to listen to the two people saying that it was all in the past 36 years of Suiko, and Emperor Suiko had been in power for a total of 36 years, so even though he didn't know the specifics, he could make a rough guess.
"That's right. At that time, I supported Inugami-sama's student, who was later Emperor Shumei. And Inugami-sama, he supported my student Yamabeko Prince. Do you think it's a bit of a trick of fate?"
Tang Ping didn't expect such a thing to happen back then, and asked in a low voice: "Don't Prince Shanbei know?"
"I know, but he always felt that Soga Ezo had coerced me, so he never held a grudge against me!" Yakushi Eri said: "But I soon discovered that although Emperor Shumei was promoted to the throne of emperor, In fact, power began to fall into Soga Ezo's hands."
"At this time, Inugami-sama, who had lost power, invited Wang Chen'er, a close friend of Morisi, to assist Prince Yamabei, allowing Prince Yamabei and his family to stabilize their position. But because of my wrong judgment at the time, I As a result, the Soga family took sole control of power and left Nara."
He smiled bitterly when he said this: "I didn't expect that the old man Inugami actually gave up his rights to Nara and followed him. Otherwise, he should have been by the side of Prince Yamabei now, assisting him with Wang Chen'er."
At this point, Tang Ping realized that the two actually had such a past of falling in love and killing each other.
And he began to feel that there was no way that old foxes like the two of them would rush out of the mountain just because of his few words.
Both of them are veterans of Fuso politics, and they probably all see that the power of the Suga clan has expanded to the point where it is almost out of control.
Just like the Soga clan in Shizuoka actually sent troops directly to rob Mount Fuji owned by the Mononobe clan in Yamanashi Prefecture.
This kind of thing is definitely not unique in Fuso.
In addition, Suga Jianyi embezzled a large amount of disaster relief supplies. All the money was intended to be used to recruit soldiers and horses for the Suga clan to expand its power.
As veterans loyal to the royal family, they were originally looking for opportunities to assist the royal family in regaining power.
Among the three major powers in Nara, although Emperor Shumei wanted to take back the imperial power, he originally relied on Soga Ezo to ascend to power. The two were tied too tightly, and it was impossible to completely rely on Soga Ezo.
Although Soga Ruka and Soga Ezo seem to be incompatible, they are both Soga clan after all, and they are father and son.
They won't believe Su Wo Rulu, so the only answer they can choose is Brother Shanbei.
Tang Ping was slightly stunned when he figured out the key. These old foxes thought that he had tricked them into it, but they didn't expect that they had already planned this.
"Let the old man Inugami win the competition tonight."
Tang Ping was stunned for a moment. At noon just now, Inugami Mita Shu knocked on the door and asked Shanbei brother Wang and the others to come out. Before they came out, he said so much to himself, these two old men had discussed it, right?
However, he touched his nose in embarrassment: "That, this, maybe, it might be a little difficult."
"What's the difficulty?" Pharmacist Huiri said: "We have three parties to score, if you tilt the score a little towards him, wouldn't he be a sure winner in three days?"
"Haha." Tang Ping smiled awkwardly: "If... Prince Shanbei is on both sides..."
Medicine Master Huiri remembered Shan Bei's performance today and smiled bitterly: "He hasn't actually been stupid since he was a child, it's just..."
"Not very good at adapting?" Tang Ping reminded, causing the pharmacist Hui Ri to nod in agreement.
"Yeah, that's why I didn't know if he could take on such a big responsibility back then."
Tang Ping thought for a moment and said, "Has Master Hui Ri, the pharmacist, seen the Three Kingdoms?"
Pharmacist Huiri nodded: "Of course I have seen it."
"Actually, Liu Chan, the successor of the Shu Kingdom, is not a top person, but he listened to his advice. Even after Zhuge Liang's death and the talent of the Shu Kingdom withered, he could still persist for a while. Isn't it just relying on Zhuge Liang's advice? Just use whoever you want?"
There was one thing Tang Ping didn't say, and that was what Zhuge Liang didn't say, and Liu Chan wouldn't use it seriously.
But the meaning is still very obvious. Even if Shanbei's eldest brother is not outstanding in talent, if he can know people and make good use of them, then he can manage this country well.
