Since the Heningmen incident, everyone has become aware of King Yan's scheming intentions, and from the glances on people's heads, they know that he will not be merciless in killing people.
Fear arose spontaneously, which was the main reason why the clan members did not dare to resist even if they suffered hardships.
Thinking about the worst in his mind, Zhao Heyun still tried to maintain his composure, walked out of the queue, bowed his hands and saluted, "Back to Your Highness, I really feel deeply about it. They say that Baiwu is a scholar. I used to think that As long as you read the books of saints and sages with all your heart, you will be able to live in peace and contentment. Now I realize that I can't carry it on my shoulders or lift it in my hands. If I don't have the support of the people, I'm afraid I will starve to death."
Unexpectedly hearing such words, Zhao Mengqi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Perhaps Zhao Heyun was unavoidably trying to cater to him, but he could be considered as having sincerely thought about this issue.
Then he turned his attention to Zhao Mengguan, "Cousin Wei, what about you?"
Even though he had adopted a new surname, he still had to be called "Cousin Wei". Isn't this a slap in the face?
However, Zhao Mengguan did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, and replied respectfully, "Back to Your Highness, I would venture to guess that Your Highness probably wants us to understand that we should strictly abide by our duties and not have any undue thoughts, even if we deserve it." You should also be down-to-earth and achieve it with your own efforts rather than opportunistically."
It seemed that Zhao Mengguan was really scared, and he probably didn't even mean his words.
But Zhao Mengqi just nodded slightly and looked at Zhao Mengqi again, "What do you think?"
"Going back to Your Highness, I think that if Heaven is going to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first suffer from his will, his muscles and bones, and his body and skin, so that he can benefit from what he cannot do. Perhaps Your Highness hopes that we will become useful people, so he is kind to us. exercised.”
Zhao Mengqi seemed to have already thought about it, so he answered quickly.
This answer also made Zhao Mengqi look at him with admiration. Is this just blindness, or is he really seeing his intentions? If it is the latter, then this kid is really a talent.
Zhao Mengqi thought about it, his face still noncommittal, and he raised his finger and pointed at Zhao Mengxi, "What about you? What do you think?"
"I don't dare to think about it..." Zhao Mengxi blurted out, but realized something was wrong, "What I mean is that the three brothers are right. I am stupid and clumsy. Now I only know that I can only follow His Highness's orders. I don't need to say more." think."
Haha, this guy is really humble enough. You must know that calling himself a 'villain' at this time means that he thinks that his status is very different from that of the other party, and the meaning of surrender and loyalty in his words is even more obvious.
When the other clan members saw how spineless he was, they felt extremely contemptuous. Bah, you soft-footed shrimp! Not worthy of the surname Zhao!
Zhao Mengqi twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled, and looked at the others, "What about you?"
"Your Highness has really good intentions for this villain. I will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations and strive to be a useful person to Your Highness..."
"The same goes for villains, the same goes for villains..."
"His Highness is wise and mighty, and will definitely be the emperor of the ages. For us to be able to follow His Highness is a blessing that we have cultivated for ten lifetimes."
"His Highness said to go east, this villain will never go west. From now on, His Highness will be the only one to obey!"
"I have no other wish. I only hope to lead the horse for His Highness and die without regrets..."
With the four people in front of us as role models, whether they are learning to walk in Handan, imitating Dong Shi, or integrating and carrying forward, in short, the general direction is kneeling and licking.
this?
No wonder I, a good young man in my previous life, have become much more shameless here. It turns out that the root of my shame lies in this body.
This person named Zhao has a shameless gene in his bones...
Zhao Mengqi controlled his urge to cover his face, forced himself to calm down, stretched out his hand and pressed it softly, "Ahem...Okay, I understand your thoughts, please listen to what I have to say first."
After everyone calmed down, Zhao Mengqi began to fool around with the magic power.
"You came to try to choose the prince, which means that you have some expectations for that throne..."
As soon as these words came out, all the eldest disciples were frightened.
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
"I am guilty of a crime that deserves death..."
"The little man lost his head. Please forgive me, Your Highness..."
"Okay! Listen to me first." Zhao Mengqi shouted sternly, stopping the group of people from pleading for mercy. "I have no intention of pursuing the case. After all, this matter is still my idea. Don't be afraid, I have not become a tyrant. idea."
"As the saying goes, destiny is permanent, and only the virtuous will live in it, but who is the truly virtuous? I think even if the saint is resurrected, he will probably be blind. And many people in history who think they are virtuous will regard this world as They compete to chase the elk. Their methods may be different, but often in the process of chasing, they bring disaster to the world."
"Of course, this is unavoidable in troubled times, but after a dynasty is established, rules should be set for the inheritance of the throne. What is important is stability and order, so that the world will not cause chaos."
"Before, everyone in the government and the public had doubts about me as the crown prince. They felt that I could not take charge of the country. In addition, my background was not so legitimate. I can understand this, so I persuaded my father to risk his imperial power. There is a risk of failure, so I conducted this trial selection.”
"So even if you participate, don't be too afraid. I think this is a legitimate competition. At least it won't bring any trouble, right?"
"Human beings, whether they are ambitious or ambitious, if they don't have the will to be enterprising, they are no different from salted fish. So I don't think it's a sin. Of course, using unfair means to achieve it doesn't count!"
"In other words, since I have defeated all of you openly and won the reserve position of the Song Dynasty, you should be convinced and don't harbor any resentment or hatred towards me."
Having said this, Zhao Mengqi paused and scanned the crowd.
"Your Highness, I have no resentment in my heart!"
"Your Highness's intelligence, character and personality are far superior to those of Wei Chen. How dare Wei Chen disobey."
"I didn't know myself before, but now I know that the light of a firefly cannot compete with the bright moon. Your Highness is the real one!"
"Absolutely convinced! I would like to serve His Highness a thousand times, ten thousand times, and the whole family will be convinced!"
Zhao Mengqi waved his hand again, "Okay, I know what you want. Although there is only one reserve position, if I get it, you will naturally be out of luck, but what I want to tell you is that you still have to be enterprising. There are still things in this world. There are still many opportunities to make achievements and be famous forever.”
When the princes heard this, they asked questions in their eyes, what did King Yan mean?
