In the general environment of a society, there are not many completely pure relationships. Most people are using each other. It is not scary to be used by others. What is scary is that you have no value for use.

This is true for Li Xin, and he himself knew very well that the Emperor Chengde and His Highness of the King of Wei were all using him to a greater or lesser extent, but this did not harm him. On the contrary, he could still gain a lot of benefits from it.

How can there be so many pure and innocent things in this world?

In life, it is impossible to be completely uncontaminated with these human feelings. What Li Xin wants to do is to keep his true heart and the final principle in the world.

On that day, Li Xin talked with the Seventh Prince in Princess Qinghe's mansion for a long time. The specific content was the deeper distribution of forces in the capital, which was the general situation of the other three princes.

The eldest prince Ji Ku, logically, should have been made the crown prince and entered the Eastern Palace, but the eldest prince had a bad character and a perverse character. He often killed palace servants when he was a teenager, and was not happy with Emperor Chengde, so he was kicked out of the palace at the age of sixteen and made him the King of Qin.

The character "Qin" is the most noble title among the kings of Yizi. It can be seen that although this eldest prince has not yet become the crown prince, he is still very strong as the eldest son of Emperor Chengde.

The other third prince Ji Chong, who likes martial arts, was named King Zhao, and was also a little irritable and often killed people. However, he is completely different from the eldest prince. He has been fond of martial arts since childhood, and most of the people he killed were beaten to death by mistake during a fight.

In addition to these two princes, it is the fourth prince Ji Huan. Ji Huan is the most sleek and most pleasing among the four princes who stay in Beijing. There are many disciples of the fourth prince in the six ministries. Li Chun, the young marquis of Pingnan Marquis' Mansion, was his regular visitor to the Qi Prince's Mansion.

The seventh prince looked calm and whispered: "The third prince is obsessed with martial arts. A few days ago, he took the initiative to ask his father to take charge of military affairs, and gave up staying in Beijing to inherit the throne."

Li Xin frowned: "Can the prince take charge of the soldiers?"

Ji Wen smiled: "Even if the father nods, he won't give him too many soldiers. At most, only ten thousand people will give him. If you make a small fuss, you won't get it."

In the capital alone, there are two guards as the personal army of the emperor. At the same time, the capital of the capital outside the capital has more than 100,000 imperial guards to guard the capital, and there is also a heroic city like the capital. There are no 200,000 to 300,000 people who can't enter the capital. Therefore, the King of Wei said that 10,000 people are just a small fight.

Li Xin lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked a key question.

"Your Highness, how is his body...?"

Ji Wen's face changed, then lowered his voice and shook his head and said, "I don't know, no one in the capital knows what the body of his father is. However, every time he meets his father, his complexion is pretty good, and it probably won't be too bad."

Li Xin nodded and continued to ask: "Your Highness thinks, what about Your Majesty now?"

The founding of the Great Jin Dynasty more than 100 years ago, it was just a small country living in the south of the Yangtze River. It was Emperor Wu who emerged from a new army and led famous generals such as Ye Sheng and Li Zhijie to sweep the world, and then established such a unified empire today.

However, after years of war, although the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty has increased several times, its economy and people's livelihood are exhausted. What the current Emperor Chengde took from Emperor Wu is actually a mess to be renovated.

But now in just eighteen years, the Great Jin Dynasty has gradually flourished in his hands. From this perspective, this emperor can be said to be a rare wise ruler.

Ji Wen's face was serious: "Father is as deep as the sea, I am not as good as him."

Li Xin's voice was suppressed to the lowest point: "Will your Highness have the intention to rebel?"

His Highness, the King of Wei, suddenly changed his face and shouted in a low voice: "What are you talking about?"

Li Xin looked calm and said calmly: "Since Your Majesty is in good health, Your Highness should not have any disrespectful thoughts. Then the fight for the throne is not a matter of worry. I have an idea, I don't know if Your Highness wants to listen."

His Highness the King of Wei took several deep breaths before calming down. He let out a long breath and said, "Tell me."

Li Xin poured a cup of tea for the seventh prince and smiled and said, "Now the government is under the control of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is in full swing, so Your Majesty does not need to rush to fight for power. You should calm down and do something for the court."

An accomplished emperor was very clear about the twists and turns in the court. To give the simplest example, during the Zhenguan Dynasty, Li Chengqian and Li Tai fought hard and tried their best. In the end, the throne fell on Li Zhi.

Because no matter how many princes have in the court, as long as you don’t have a coup, these things will not play any role. In the end, the throne belongs to it is just a sentence from Emperor Chengde.

At this time, the best way is to not fight for power and just do things.

His Highness King Wei's face changed slightly and he whispered: "Brother Xin, the eldest brother and the third brother are trying their best to win over the power. I am already a little behind here. If I give up on my own initiative, I will be isolated in the court in the future. My father will think that I can't fight for two brothers and are an incompetent person."

Li Xin coughed.

"It is not incompetence to not fight for power. Your Highness can think about what difficult things your Majesty has to do today. If you find a way to help Your Majesty deal with them, your Majesty will naturally feel that your Majesty has outstanding abilities."

"Besides."

Li Xin's face was calm: "Your Majesty is still alive, and you brothers will start to win over the court officials. For example, if your highness's power expands to the point that your Majesty fears, then the one who competes for the throne with You will not be the other princes, but Your Majesty himself."

"Your Highness thinks that you can beat His Majesty?"

The seventh prince's forehead was sweating continuously.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and whispered: "What Brother Xin means is to let me give up participating in the battle for the time being?"

"It's time to maintain success. Don't offend others, and don't continue to expand your power. Help Your Majesty do something practical. It's best to let Your Majesty see His Majesty's ability to govern the country and do things."

Li Xin's face was calm: "Crime struggle is a party struggle, and this matter is of no use to the country."

"Besides, as Your Highness said, the third prince has given up the throne. If Your Highness retreats for the time being, then the other two princes will be in a fight. Your Highness may be able to stand behind the scenes and gain some benefits."

The seventh prince Ji Wen narrowed his eyes slightly.

He thought Li Xin's words were very reasonable.

The question is, how could the young man in front of him have such insights on such issues two months ago, a country boy who had problems with food and clothing.

Could it be just because of the information Jiu Niang gave him?

His Highness the King of Wei coughed and asked, "Brother Xin thought, what problem does his father have that cannot be solved?"

Li Xin shook his head: "I have just arrived in the capital for only two months. How can I distinguish the matter in the court clearly?"

The seventh prince narrowed his eyes.

He thought of a problem that his father could not handle.

That is Pingnan Hou Mansion!

Li Xin picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said, "I heard from Your Highness that your Highness has some power in the Tianmu Prison in the inner palace?"

Ji Wen smiled and said, "Dong Cheng, the eunuch of Tianmujian, is my person."

Tianmujian is the emperor's eyes and ears, while Dong Cheng is the boss of Tianmujian. Being able to bring such a person into his own power has always been a place where the Seventh Prince is quite proud of.

Li Xin shook his head: "Let's find a way to break it."

Ji Wen's face changed slightly: "Why?"

"Tianmujian is the emperor's eyes and ears, and it is also the forbidden body of Your Majesty. If Your Majesty knew that Tianmujian was no longer his Tianmujian, everyone in the Tianmujian would probably not escape death. Your Highness would definitely be hated by him."

Li Xin's voice was solemn.
