Chapter 550: Selecting the Right Person

"Okay, go do your own things. I have something to say to Xing Zhao alone.

"Yes, General."

Everyone filed out, staring at Xing Zhao before leaving. After they left, Xing Zhao shook off the shivers on his body and said.

"Are they crazy? They look at me like an enemy. I won't be trained to death, will I?"

"Didn't you just yell so loudly?"

"I was afraid of losing face for you. After all, I am your cousin. If I am spineless, wouldn't your reputation as General Gu be damaged?"

Gu Shaoyu smiled, too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and then said seriously.

"You came here not just to avoid the Xing family, right? Tell me the truth, what happened? "

Xing Zhao was not polite and sat down beside him. He did not joke around just now, but spoke in a rather heavy tone.

"My uncle is going to take the throne, and he is determined to support the Seventh Prince, but I look down on the Seventh Prince, so I don't want to go along with him."

"The Seventh Prince is only a three-year-old child now. How old is he? Do you look down on him?"

"You can tell a person's future by looking at him when he is three years old. You don't know that he may look harmless in front of others, but he is extremely absurd behind the scenes. When the imperial concubine was at home, she was still a lady from a noble family. How could her son be so useless?"

Only Xing Zhao would say such a thing. If it were someone else, they would be extra careful about the title of the Seventh Prince.

"Who do you like in your heart? "

"For the time being, the eldest prince seems to be good. At least he is a king who can maintain the status quo. After all, he was taught by Prime Minister Guo himself. He is calm and polite. When he gets married next year, he will also go to the court to work. When the younger princes grow up, I am afraid that he will have real power in his hands. "

The eldest prince is the son of Queen Yan. Xing Zhao thinks he is good, so he will definitely go against the Xing family. So he saw through this early and "ran away". Otherwise, if he stayed in Sui'an City, he would be an accomplice to the tyrant.

Hearing his words, Gu Shaoyu did not hide it, and then said.

"Madam just sent Liu Xun to deliver the news that Guo Si has taken a fancy to the second prince, and asked me what I think?"

"The second prince? He has no reputation at all, and I have never taken him seriously before. "

Guo Silang didn't trust Xing Zhao very much, but Gu Shaoyu didn't. Xing Zhao was his childhood friend. Since he had stated before coming that he would never support the Seventh Prince, Gu Shaoyu was less embarrassed, so he blurted out this matter.

"What do you think, cousin? Do you think the eldest prince is better or the second prince is better?"

Although it is too early to talk about the next emperor now, they have all participated in the last battle for the throne, so many things are better to be planned early. If someone is really chosen, it should be trained as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, Gu Shaoyu shook his head.

"I don't choose either of them."

"Ah? So you have your eyes on other princes? ”

The emperor now has six princes, namely the first, second, third, fourth, seventh, and eighth princes. There are five left except the seventh prince.

You didn’t choose the first and second princes. It’s not possible that you have your eyes on one of the third, fourth, and eighth princes, right?

Xing Zhao had a bitter face, and he looked at Gu Shaoyu with a look of hesitation, but this was a big deal, so he had to explain it early.

“The third and fourth princes, I coldly see that they are both followers and can’t take on the responsibility. The eighth prince is too young, and he is supported by the new ministers. You don’t want to choose him, do you?”

After hearing what he said, Gu Shaoyu was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked confident and took him to the geographical map, then pointed to a place name on it, and didn’t say anything more.

“You have your eyes on Prince Yin?”

“I have my eyes on Prince Yin’s son. "

Prince Yin, he hasn't appeared in Sui'an City for many years. The last time Xing Zhao saw him was during the coronation ceremony. All the princes needed to bring their princes to Sui'an City to pay homage. He was born with a clear and bright appearance, which was quite outstanding among all the princes.

But in the royal family, it is not a good thing to be outstanding only by appearance.

So, Xing Zhao can be said to have no impression of him, and he also believes that the nobles in Sui'an City may not remember such a person.

"Mr. Wen, do you still remember him?"

"Of course, he is famous for his strange temper. In the past, Prime Minister Guo and you spent several years to recruit him to the East Palace to help His Majesty. But later, didn't they say that he offended His Majesty, so he was put aside when he was still in the East Palace? I don't know where he has been in the past few years, but there is no trace of him. "

What Xing Zhao knew was naturally what everyone in Sui'an City knew.

He was just a counselor. With Prime Minister Guo, Gu Shaoyu and other wise ministers around, how could anyone remember him?

But Gu Shaoyu was different. He had really dealt with Mr. Wen and knew what kind of temper he had. So he must be a tough guy if he could surrender and be loyal to him.

So, he said to Xing Zhao right away.

"Mr. Wen is in Yingzhou now."

"Did the prince recruit him?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, even Xing Zhao felt that this prince was powerful.

"I usually see him not showing off, but he was able to recruit Mr. Wen. I'm curious, how did he do it?"

That's a hot potato.

He has the cunningness of some counselors and the integrity of some court officials, and he is the most unconventional in his words and deeds. With him, even the worst situation can be turned around, so it is true that he is useful, but it is also difficult to use him sincerely.

"When Mr. Wen ran away from the East Palace, the prince was afraid that such a person would fall into the hands of others, so he specially found someone to assassinate him. When I got the news and rushed to rescue him, he had fallen off the cliff and disappeared. He has no news for these years, and everyone thought he was dead. It was not until two months ago that I learned that he was saved by the prince and had been raised in Yinzhou for so many years."

"So he returned the favor and wanted to help the prince seize the country to repay the grace of saving his life?"

"This is just one of the reasons. Take a look at the content of this message."

After speaking, Gu Shaoyu handed over a letter, which recorded the changes in Yinzhou in recent years.

Prince Yin is the late emperor's half-brother, but he has always been a transparent existence.

Compared with Prince Fu and Princess Yuehua, who are royal relatives of the late emperor, he is like an exiled relative.

Back then, when the crown prince and the fourth prince were fighting fiercely, no one thought of dragging him into the game, so you can imagine how insignificant his existence was.

But under such circumstances, Yinzhou has transformed from a somewhat remote and not wealthy county to a prosperous and stable one. How can it not attract people's attention? (End of this chapter)
