Only by grasping it can you leave other people far away, and you can ride the dust by yourself.
In the third prince's mansion, in a secret room, the third prince sat at the top, with a cloudy expression on his face, and at the bottom of him were a few confidants who advised him.
At this time, he was listening to the report of his subordinates, his brows were tightly frowned. Ming Yu really deserves to die, as soon as he returned to Beijing, he killed Eleven, Twelve was punished by his father, Twelve even turned against Eleven, all of this was Ming Yu's fault.
He seemed to be fine, and even went to the eldest princess's garden party, feeling at ease.
"Are you sure what you heard is true?" Ming Tao confirmed again.
The servant nodded, "This subordinate will never dare to say a word of deceit."
Ming Tao waved his hand, and when he got down, he slapped the table angrily, "What's the point? What is that bastard Ming Yu doing?"
At the beginning, he begged his father to get a share of the pie, but he was rejected, but now it is good. This fool actually wanted to hand over such an important business to outsiders. What on earth was he thinking? It would be better to leave it to others than to himself.
He circled around a few times, feeling uneasy, "Why? Ming Yu, a fool, has made a lot of achievements in Liangzhou. Even the emperor praised him. It's just his luck. Lord, you must have done a thousand times better than him."
The more Ming Tao thought about it, the more angry he became. The counselor at the side heard the cause and effect, and saw that the master was so angry that he couldn't calm down, so he comforted him: "Master, don't be angry because of this. The king is just talking about this matter. It's just nonsense, and there is still room for change. Since King Duan doesn't want this deal, we just need to work hard, in case we can make him let go and let us take over?"
He knew that the third prince had been envious of this deal, but he was not familiar with the place and knew nothing about the frontiers of the Western Regions. Since the emperor's road was blocked, there was no room for meddling, so why not now is an opportunity
"Tell me, is there any way to definitely take over this business?" Ming Tao stopped in his tracks, "Ming Yu is a fool, but Ming Ye is not a fool. I really don't believe that Ming Ye would be willing to give up."
He knew Ming Ye too well, and he also knew what these goods from the Western Regions brought to Ming Ye. Not just gold and silver, but more importantly, connections! Otherwise, he wouldn't be so jealous.
"It's nothing more than following one's own preferences." The man said sternly: "People always have weaknesses they like. Think about it, Your Highness, what Prince Duan likes, let's make careful preparations for it."
Ming Tao thought about it seriously, he really didn't know what Ming Yu liked.
In the past, Ming Yu was a little transparent, foolish, dazed kind, the kind who hardly even attended family banquets. If such a name hadn't been mentioned in the family banquet, he really didn't know there was such a person. Later, after falling into the water, he seemed to have regained some sanity, but after raising him well, he turned into a bully who is not stingy in the palace. Willful and reckless, he can do whatever he wants, and there is still a father who protects him with all his strength, making everyone helpless.
Therefore, when asked about Ming Yu's preference for coming, he really couldn't answer. The main reason is that there is no intersection at all, no different from strangers.
"Since it's what you like, let someone check it out. It's just that I'm afraid that this silly boy will not accept his softness. No, I have to find out the truth first. Otherwise, if I don't have a preparation, it will not be too bad to fall behind others." Wonderful." Ming Tao frowned.
"Your Highness is right." Several people agreed. After a pause, someone asked, "I just have a question. Is the matter discussed by the court these few days related to this king? You must know that the prime minister never takes sides. If this matter is related to King Duan, Will his actions be won over by King Duan? Needless to say, King Duan knows that he is the Prince, once Prime Minister Wen favors the Prince, the Prince's power will be even more powerful, and we will be much more passive."
Mentioning this, Ming Tao felt a little annoyed. This Prime Minister Wen is arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't know what is good or bad. Pretending to be a clean stream and not getting along with others, but now she is being drawn into by a fool.
Although he hasn't indicated whether he has really taken a stand, but the matter he raised about the Xiqi Corridor is obviously related to Mingyu. Because only Ming Yu was tossing about in the border area, Ming Yu didn't come back calmly, and when he came back, he made out the Xiqi Corridor, and anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on at a glance. He said not to form cliques and seek personal gain, but now Ming Yu pulls him out as a target to block him, I really don't know why.
Thinking about how much thought he had put in to win over the prime minister's side. The gold, silver and uncut jade, calligraphy and paintings of famous artists were all sent back, and he was not given the slightest bit of face as a prince. Later, some rumors about this matter got to the emperor, and the emperor specially called him to beat him and gave him a lesson, which made him calm down. However, fortunately, he failed to win over Prime Minister Wen, and no one else dared to make any more decisions, so he was fairly balanced.
Now that Ming Yu has broken this balance, how can he not feel angry.
"Tell me, why does Mingyu want to build this Xiqi Corridor? This is a costly and laborious task. The imperial treasury is empty. How can there be money for him to build this Laoshizi Corridor? The prime minister is not unaware of this situation, But I still raised it and spoke for him, how much benefit did Ming Yu promise to this old guy? The most hateful thing is that the father didn't reject it, isn't this tantamount to acquiescing?"
There has been a lot of quarrels in the court these few days, and the crown prince kept silent, neither saying he supported nor disapproving, just like the emperor's attitude. Except for some middle forces under the prince who supported Prime Minister Wen, most of the rest, including Ming Tao himself, believed that manpower and material resources should not be wasted for useless work.
After all, it is a frontier, so what if Dayan occupies the Xiqi Corridor? It is next to the Suixi Kingdom, and as long as the Suixi Kingdom remains an enemy, there will be no room for development there. Think about it, the people in the border areas were displaced due to the war, and poverty abounded. The military expenditure that the country of Yan gave to the border areas every year was a huge expenditure. Now that the war has dragged Dayan into the quagmire, how can there be room for expansion? earth
But the instigator, Ming Yu, was leisurely and carefree all day long, as if these things had nothing to do with him, simply watching the fire from the other side. Prime Minister Wen was so stupid that he was sold out without knowing it.
"I really can't figure out what King Duan's move means, and His Majesty's attitude is also intriguing."
"Hmph! Father is partial, as long as Ming Yu wants to do it, let him do it. But is it a small matter this time? It's a big matter for the country, how can it be trifling!"
This matter is not in a hurry, Ming Tao is now thinking about the business in the Western Regions, and he deeply feels that this matter should not be delayed, and it is better to find out Shisi's thoughts as soon as possible. Thinking about it, Ming Yu would not give him this face, but thinking that he couldn't sit still, he went to find Ming Yu.
Ming Yu had just returned from the Eldest Princess' gathering, and before she had time to rest, she heard that the Third Prince Ming Tao had arrived.
This third prince, he still wanted to find him, so he came to his door, and he was taken advantage of by him, and he was not cheating for nothing.
Ming Yu's attitude was very enthusiastic, but on the contrary, the third prince Ming Tao was a little at a loss. Is their relationship so good? It seems that they are closer than brothers.
"Before Little Eleven was ignorant, so he came to make trouble for Fourteenth Brother. I have also trained him, and I believe that such things will never happen again." After sitting down, the two chatted about some homely things, Ming Tao Bringing up what happened two days ago is an apology.
"Hey! Our brothers are just kidding, why should Brother Sanhuang take it seriously? What's more, the father has already punished this matter, so there is no need to mention it again. If Brother Sanhuang doesn't say it, I have forgotten it here." Ming Yu said He didn't care about it, and said with a smile, "Brother Sanhuang came here to find Fourteen on purpose, can't it be because of this matter?"

111. Chapter 111
Ming Tao shook his head, "The fourteenth brother is flourishing in Liangzhou, the emperor is really envious. I see that you brought back a lot of things from the Western Regions this time. It seems that the fourteenth brother can reap a lot this time. Fee!"
Here we go, here we go, finally getting down to business. Ming Yu smiled decently and politely, waved his hands and said: "How can there be? These are just small gadgets. I am idle and bored on weekdays. I got these to earn some pocket money."
Ming Tao's eyelids twitched, is this still called Xiaoqian? Those of them who are used to the big world in Beijing dare not call it small money, this is obviously Jinshan, right
Doesn't this fool know the value of his goods? When the batch of goods came back last time, Ming Yu was in the border area, and Prince Ming Ye took care of everything. He didn't believe that Ming Ye didn't have the slightest selfishness, maybe he could start from here and provoke the relationship between Ming Yu and Ming Ye.
"You fourteenth brother, don't you know how much of a stir the goods from the Western Regions you sent back last time. The dignitaries in Beijing heard the news and everyone was vying for it. That's it, and there are still many empty-handed items that many people regret And return."
Ming Yu pretended to be ignorant, "Huh? Really? I'm still worried about the sale of the goods this time.
