The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 318 Analysis
And the aristocratic families I dealt with in Yanzhou, although they are immortal, but their power can't bring much benefit to the prince, at least not compared to the benefits I brought him. "

Changsun Ji's originally frowning eyebrows became even deeper, and he was a little puzzled.

"My lord, maybe the source of the prince's benefit is not from the lord's enemies, but from the lord himself." Seeing that Sun Ji hadn't figured it out, Guo Yu reminded him.

"Myself? You mean, the prince wants to use my death to arouse my father's resentment towards the other two princes, so as to fully assist him."

Guo Yu nodded.

Changsun Ji took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and then opened his mouth and said: "The ancients said: 'Knowing a person knows the face but not the heart.' It really does not deceive me."

"At first, I thought the prince was a bit honest and upright, without any crookedness, even if he ascended to the throne in the future, he should be a benevolent monarch.

I didn't expect that this prince who looks simple and kind on the outside is really ruthless, and he is really tall. If I don't know the situation, I might really be played around by him. "

"My lord, this prince who has been able to keep the crown prince for more than 20 years in the palace is naturally not that simple. He not only deceived all the officials in the court, but also deceived the whole world. He can keep the crown prince, not only It is due to the favor from Emperor Yan, and it should be more of his means."

"Then how do you think I should deal with this prince?" Changsun Ji said bitterly. After all, he was almost killed by someone, and even more so, he was plotted against, which made no one happy.

Guo Yu glanced at Changsun Ji, and said softly: "My lord, originally we were standing in the open, while the enemy was hiding in the dark. But now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark.

If the lord chooses to take action now, although it will affect the reputation of the prince, it will not hurt the root of the prince. The time is not yet ripe. I advise the general to bear with him for a while, pretending to know nothing, and waiting slowly opportunity. "

Changsun Ji frowned slightly and said, "I'm not someone who will miss important things because of a moment of anger, but only a thousand days can be a thief, and there is no such thing as a thousand days to guard against a thief. We were lucky this time, and we were not caught by the prince." I succeeded, but what about next time, next time?"

"If my lord is worried about this aspect, then there is no need for it. According to my subordinates, although the crown prince is experienced in his actions, it is also because of this that he tends to be prudent in his actions."

"Since he failed to kill the lord this time, he won't take action against the young master in the future. First, the young master is now in the capital, and no matter how powerful the crown prince is, he can't cover the sky with one hand, especially with the third and seventh princes watching. on."

"Secondly, the lord originally belonged to the prince's faction, and it can be regarded as the prince's strength. This time the lord returned from rebellion, and both his strength and reputation have developed. This has already helped the prince."

"Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the prince to sacrifice his original power in exchange for a support that may or may not be available. Especially under the condition that he has already failed once."

Changsun Ji nodded thoughtfully. Regarding what Guo Yu said, he felt that there was some truth to it. The possibility of the Crown Prince taking action against him was already very small.

But Changsun Ji knows that the possibility is small, but it does not mean that there is no possibility.If there is a chance in the future to kill him and put the blame on the third and seventh princes, the prince will never give up.

"Sir, you have been in the capital for a while, and do you think, among the princes, which one is the most likely to be crowned high?" Changsun Ji looked at Guo Yu and asked.

"My lord, I think that among the princes, the crown prince is the one who is most likely to ascend to the throne." Guo Yu thought for a while before opening his mouth to answer.

"The third prince and the seventh prince are all dragons and phoenixes. Over the years, they have more and more followers in the court. Even the little prince is married to Yushifu, and there is also a certain amount of competition for the throne. Why do you think that the prince will be crowned the throne in the end?"

"Hehe, my lord, listen to me. As the eldest son of Dayan, the crown prince has an advantage in his status. As an orthodox, he will naturally be supported by many ministers in the court."

"No matter what the real character of the prince is? Just take his character as generous, kind, respectful of the elders and love the younger ones. In the eyes of the world, he has done well enough as a son and elder brother. This Let him win the support of the people."

"Emperor Yan has fought all his life. Even if I am not in the court, I can still feel the dominance of this emperor. With such an emperor on top, the ministers in the court probably will not feel good, so they hope to inherit the great power. The emperor is a kind and generous emperor, and among the princes, the prince is more suitable, so most of the officials in the court will hope that the prince will take the throne."

"Besides, Emperor Yan said that there is no family relationship within the imperial wall. In order to get that seat, father and son and brothers fought openly and secretly. There is no family relationship at all, but no matter which emperor he is, he hopes that his family is harmonious and his brothers are respectful. .”

"Tiger poison does not eat its sons. No matter how iron-blooded and overbearing Emperor Yan is, he will not be too cruel to his sons. The palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh. Even if one of the princes is placed on the throne, the other princes will have their own fiefdoms. "

"In order that his sons will not be slaughtered in the future, when Emperor Yan chooses a prince, he will definitely choose a prince who is not only filial but also loves his younger brother."

"If the prince is weak, he may not be able to suppress the important officials of the court, but the way he deals with the lord, the prince is not as simple as he shows. As the father of the prince, the emperor of Yan, the ruler of the prince, Even if you can't see everything with your ability, you can still see the general idea. Therefore, if there are no accidents, the crown prince has the greatest possibility of ascending to the throne."

Changsun Ji frowned and said, "Don't the other princes have a chance to take the throne?"

"This is not necessarily the case. If the prince made a major mistake or did some outrageous things before taking the throne, the ending may change."

"What's more, other princes can rebel. If the rebellion is successful, they can naturally win the throne." Guo Yu explained.

Changsun Ji nodded, thought for a while, and then said, "Do you know Feng Huo, sir?"

Guo Yu thought for a while, and asked uncertainly, "My lord is talking about Feng Huo, the prince's eldest son?"

Changsun Ji nodded and said, "It's this person."
