"The Left Prime Minister thinks that I am inferior to King Yong?"
"It's not as good as it is, far worse, not as good as the worst case scenario!"
As soon as these words came out, even though Ning'an thought he was quite broad-minded, his face showed a bit of anger at this moment: "In this case, Prime Minister Zuo can switch to King Yong, why bother to humiliate me like this again!"
After that, he was about to walk away.
Lin Qiushi was neither angry nor annoyed, and said calmly with a peaceful expression on his face: "If His Highness leaves this door today, from now on, our cooperation will be over!"
After all, Ning An didn't have the courage to take a step forward, but he didn't look back either, but his face was as dark as water.
Now he has finally gained a foothold in Beijing, but his foundation is far away in Qilin. He does not have much say in the court.
Lin Qiushi, on the other hand, was at the top of his game in the imperial court. Without his help, he would have no advantage at all.
"Your Highness, there is no need to feel embarrassed, and I have no intention of embarrassing Your Highness!"
Lin Qiushi gave Ning An a step up, but said with sincerity: "What I say comes from the bottom of my heart. If His Highness cannot face himself, then even with my help, there is no way he can defeat King Yong!"
Looking at Lin Qiushi's sincere expression, Ning An also had a trace of self-doubt in his heart. Is this king really not as good as King Yong?
"Your Highness, King Yong has only spent half a year since he was a dandy. Without anyone's help, he even made enemies of hundreds of civil and military officials, but his prestige has grown day by day."
"This is Machiavellian strategy!"
"In the battle at the southern border, King Yong led his army to attack the southern barbarian royal city in two directions. He even directly defeated the southern barbarians and captured all the royal family!"
"This is a military strategy!"
"Now, King Yong dares to risk the disapproval of the world and oppose the world's noble families."
"This is courage!"
"The most important thing is that King Yong's command has now gathered forces that even the imperial court cannot ignore. Among the civil servants, Zhuge Liang is a high-ranking official in the border areas. Now he has parachuted into the imperial court and served as the second-in-command of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!"
"Wei Zheng, who has recently become famous, is about to go to His Highness's fiefdom. He will come and be the guardian of any county!"
"What's more, the talents and methods of King Yong's subordinates, such as Guo Jia, Chen Gong, and Jia Xu, are not inferior to me."
"Among the military generals, Yue Fei's prestige in the army is no less than that of our Dayu Army God. Qin Qiong, Chen Qingzhi, Ran Min, Lan Yu and other generals have also made many military exploits. One battle in the east is enough to stand firm in the army. Heel."
"Both civil and military skills are enough to crush His Highness, and there is no need for His Highness to be angry. As I said, Your Highness will be able to tell the difference!"
"Right?"
Hearing Lin Qiushi's question, Ning An had to nod his head even though he didn't want to admit it.
"Yes, all the staff in Prince Yong's Mansion are all extraordinary talents!"
"This is nothing!" Lin Qiushi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "As far as I know, right now in the court, the right relative has high praise for King Yong, and Chen Qinghe, the household secretary, was promoted by King Yong!"
"Ji Sui, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Xie Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, have shown their sincerity to King Yong, and have even secretly surrendered."
"Zhao Rui, the Minister of Rites, is still undecided about him, but he also wants to be close to him."
"In the army, the three princes Zhao, Liusu, and others are on close terms with each other."
"Whether it's in the military or the court, King Yong has extremely strong connections. How about His Highness?"
As Lin Qiushi listed out the relationship between King Yong one by one, Ning An also felt blocked in his heart, and even had a deep sense of powerlessness!
yes!
With so many forces intertwined, I am afraid that even my father will be afraid of even three points. How can I seize the throne from him?
"Now, King Yong has settled in Huainan and controls the land of sixteen states. Your Majesty has given him the power to establish a government, appoint and dismiss officials on his own, and even delegate military power. It can be said that as long as he is given time, one day, King Yong's power will be destroyed. Even His Majesty cannot control it!"
"So, what I said is to tell His Highness, never overestimate yourself and underestimate your opponent!"
"If you can't even face the gap between us and the enemy, it will only harm Your Highness, let alone success!"
Lin Qiushi's words were sincere, and Ning An also felt a sense of despair: "As Prime Minister Lin said, why should I seize the position of the East Palace from King Yong?"
"Because of the general trend!"
Lin Qiushi's face always remained calm, and there was not much trouble in his eyes.
"Although King Yong is strong, he is the enemy of the world's noble families!"
"King Yong is powerful, and the powerful families in the world are even more powerful. If King Yong is his enemy, Your Highness can be his friend."
"This is your highness's advantage!"
"This is also an opportunity for His Highness!"
Lin Qiushi regained Ning'an's confidence with just a few words, and the light in his eyes became even brighter: "Yes, the Prime Minister Zuo's words have benefited me a lot!"
"Just now, it was me who was rude, please don't worry, Mr. Zuo."
"It doesn't matter!"
Lin Qiushi shook his head and said indifferently: "Your Highness, if you want to compete with people like King Yong, you must be calm and calm. You must not be careless in any way. When you should put down your dignity, you should put down your stature. When it's time to put aside your prejudices, you must do it." Put aside your prejudices!”
"The most important thing is that Your Highness should remain calm."
Ning An took a deep breath and bowed his hands to Lin Qiushi solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Zuo Xiang, for your advice!"
"Don't dare!"
"In the opinion of Prime Minister Zuo, what should I do now?"
"Calm down, do what you have to do, and wait for the opportunity!"
"Until the great dispute between King Yong and the Aristocratic Family is over, His Majesty will never easily establish a heir apparent!"
"So, Your Highness, there is no need to worry."
"What you have to do now is to do everything His Majesty has asked you to do, do practical things for the people, show political achievements, and do your duty."
"Leave everything else to me!"
Ning An nodded heavily. After talking to Lin Qiushi today, his whole person seemed to have been sublimated.
"Prime Minister Zuo, now that the second brother is deeply cultivating in Huainan, do you want to send someone to investigate?"
Lin Qiushi shook his head and said calmly: "It's meaningless. As I said before, His Highness only needs to do what he should do. Don't interfere with anything else. Don't even walk around frequently with the courtiers."
"His Majesty can see what he can do now and what he thinks in his heart, and he can naturally guess it in his heart. Therefore, there is no need for your highness to add any extraneous details."
"Don't harm Your Majesty!"
Ning An took a deep breath and looked at Lin Qiushi again: "Except for King Yong, the fourth child is also letting himself go to eat. Do we need to be careful?"
"The Fourth Prince..." Lin Qiushi paused, shook his head and said, "Although he is quite capable of the city government, it is difficult for him to become a great weapon."
"Otherwise, after staying in Beijing for so many years, Your Majesty will not let him out at this time."
"As I said...do your duty!"
