Suddenly, Cheng Chuliang raised his head to look at Li Kuan, and said in doubt: "Second brother, why are you unwilling to fight for position?"
The three of them were surprised, and Li Kuan asked, "Why should I fight?"
"In my heart, that position is only the most suitable for my second brother. Not only I but my father thinks so!" Cheng Chuliang said without hesitation, even his father Cheng Yaojin was sold by him. Excitedly waiting for Li Kuan to answer.
Li Kuan was also stunned and smiled and said: "Who is suitable or not, who can make it clear!"
"Second brother, you are also the prince, and even the second prince." Cheng Chuliang said excitedly, "Now that the former prince Chengqian has been demoted to a commoner, you will soon be issued to Qianzhou, based on your status and influence in the court, as long as If you go to fight for the seat, whether it is the king of Wu, the king of Wei, the king of Jin, etc., they are far behind you."
"What the current emperor’s attitude towards you is, yesterday’s Qiu Mishi was well known, this is a great opportunity. Now the three father and son in the Chu Palace are kings, a Chu king, a heir, and a county king, no matter which one you are from. From a point of view, the second brother is the most suitable, and I believe that the current emperor also has this idea."
Li Kuan was silent for a moment. Princess Qinghe looked at her husband unexpectedly. In her heart, her husband was very carefree. When she analyzed so carefully and spoke in an orderly manner, Princess Qinghe was surprised, but she did not interrupt.
"Chu Liang, do you think that position is good?" Li Kuan asked rhetorically.
Cheng Chuliang was taken aback, and said in a deep voice, "With the second brother's current status, one person is above ten thousand people. Only that position is the most suitable for the second brother's current status. Besides, the second brother sits in that position. Who dares not accept?"
"People are self-knowledge, it's not what you want to force." Li Kuan shook his head and smiled. "Perhaps many people think that the position is very good, but in my heart it is not the same. Think about the former prince, and then think about it. King Qi and others, which one is not for that position, you fight for me, open guns are easy to hide from dark arrows and hard to defend. Everyone is exhausted to be appreciated by the emperor, and the goal is naturally that position.
"However, that position in my heart is not a problem at all. I feel very happy now. I have a virtuous wife, two lovely sons, and the family I care about, including everyone in my house. Together, they are willing to share ups and downs with me, and I am already very satisfied."
"The heights are so cold, the higher the position, the more dangerous I am. I am not the emperor’s son or the queen’s mother-child. I really fight with my current status. How many ministers in the DPRK support me? Besides, I Doing things that do not follow common sense is definitely not the choice of Mingjun. Isn't it good to be content and happy? Even if I give up everything I have now, I still live freely. Compared with freedom, power is a fart. "
"The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Just like the emperor of the father, he has to worry about the affairs of the country day and night for the sake of being remembered by the future generations, or for the sake of his name. It is rare that he is broad-minded, as long as he is not guilty of heinousness For serious crimes, severe punishments are almost never used."
"It is precisely because all my energy is devoted to state affairs, and the family is ignored, so that the eldest brother, King Qi and others go astray. If I fight for that position, if I live the same day, I will lose more and gain supreme power. , I have lost more things, I would rather choose the latter without power."
"Now the middle of the dynasty seems to be calm, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, almost moving my whole body. If I compete for that position, would it not be trapped in a whirlpool, and it will be difficult to get out of it by then; in addition, the kings of Wei and Jin Everyone has clear support. If I go to fight, am I not being a maniac arm and being a car? Why should I worry about participating in it? It's better to stay away from the trouble and spend your days in peace."
"But..." Cheng Chuliang was unwilling, with an anxious expression on his face and wanted to persuade again. Princess Qinghe immediately interrupted when she saw this, and said strangely: "Okay, the second brother has made his own plan, so there is no need to say more. You are a martial artist. , Where do you understand those things, everything that the second brother says is fine, you don’t need to say a few words!"
When Cheng Chuliang saw his wife speak, even if he was unwilling, he had to stop discussing the topic. Li Kuan seemed to be okay, and didn't care at all. At this moment, Fang Yizhi, Zheng Xuanguo and others also came to visit Cheng Chuliang in a hurry. Yesterday Qiu Mi and the others did not participate. They didn’t know that Cheng Chuliang was injured until their fathers returned to the house. They came after their official business, even Qin Shandao and Qin. Youdao brothers also came.
The crowd gathered together again, while Princess Qinghe accompanied Wu Jue around the mansion. Cheng Chuliang didn't expect Zheng Xuanguo, Fang Yizhi and others to come. Naturally, the hospitality was polite and everyone saw that he was fine. All not worried.
It wasn't until midday that everyone left one after another.
"Husband, why do you say those things today?" After Li Kuan, Wu Jue and others left, Princess Qinghe couldn't wait to question her husband. Cheng Chuliang shook her head and did not explain. It was not that he did not say but that there were some things that could not be said. It’s not good for everyone to spread it out.
"Wife, what do you think if I fight for a seat?" On the way back, Li Kuan suddenly asked. Wu Shuo was taken aback for a moment and smiled: "No matter what decision you make, I will support you! If you want to fight, then If you fight, I will help. If you don’t want to fight, then let it go. It’s not a big deal. Even if you don’t have your current status and power, you don’t have to be afraid of our solid foundation."
Li Kuan hugged Wu Sui with a slight smile, recalling what Cheng Chuliang had said suddenly today. He felt that this question should not have been asked by a big boss like Cheng Chuliang. There must be someone instigating him to fight for a position behind him. The only possibility could only be Lu Guogong. Cheng Yaojin.
That night, when Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin returned to his home, he heard the people say that Li Kuan and others had come to visit the scene. He nodded to indicate that he knew and went to the study.
"Why didn't the master go to the wife's room?" The next person looked at Cheng Yaojin's hurried back, with differences in his face. He has been in the Lu Kingdom's mansion for some years, and he knows Cheng Yaojin's daily work and rest habits. Go directly to the wife’s room first, and discuss things in the main room if something happens, and rarely go to the study.
When Cheng Yaojin hurried to the study, he saw Cheng Chuliang, who was sitting in front of him, standing up immediately, and asked straightforwardly: "How is it?"
"His Royal Highness is not willing!" Cheng Chuliang said solemnly.
"Why?" Cheng Yaojin frowned slightly. He had some guesses in his heart, but he was still a little uncertain. Cheng Chuliang repeated what Li Kuan had said today. After Cheng Yaojin nodded, he was silent. Cheng Chuliang did not ask his father the reason. In short, Cheng He will do everything Biaojin said.
After a moment of silence, Cheng Yaojin asked Cheng Chuliang to go back to the room to rest. As for him to leave the house in a hurry, no one knew where he went in the middle of the night. (End of this chapter)
