I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

He thought that it would be a good choice if he could get on with this big boat. It's just that he hasn't been able to find an opportunity yet. After all, the third prince is no better than others, and not everyone can be attached to it.

Ma Siyong saw through his son's thoughts, and sighed, "You can't put eggs in one basket. Wouldn't you want me to teach you this kind of truth?"

Ma Jinyu is not stupid either. He speaks well. He raised his eyes and looked at Ma Siyong, "Father, what do you mean?"

"In today's world, who do you think is most likely to be in the top?" There are no outsiders in the study, and the conversation between the father and son is unlikely to be spread.

Ma Jinyu knew that it was his father who was testing himself. Although he already had the answer in his heart, he thought about it carefully before he thought about it and replied, "From my son's point of view, it's nothing more than the prince and the third prince have the power to fight together. The eldest son of the Empress Yuan, Dayan has always been the ancestral system, and the same is true. The prince has been established as the prince since he was a child. However, although the prince occupies a position, his temper is too lenient, cowardly, and indecisive. This is ten Regardless of whether you want to please the emperor, in the early years, there was even a whisper from the emperor that the prince was not suitable for his position. After that, the attitude of the courtiers has become a little subtle, and the prince seems to be more quiet. "

He carefully glanced at his father's expression and saw that his expression was the same as usual, and then he continued with a sigh of relief: "And the third prince is quite like the emperor in that he is brave and brave, which is praised by the emperor himself in front of all the ministers. The three princes’ mothers and relatives are all big families, and there are not a few voices supporting the third prince, whether in court or in opposition.”

"So, if it were you, who would you support?" Ma Siyong asked directly.

Ma Jinyu paused, not expecting his father to ask such a question. He swallowed his saliva, but still said the words in his heart, "My son thinks that the third prince is well behaved and has outstanding ability. If you support him, I think the hope is the greatest."

What if the prince is the heir? How can it be long if it is not favored by the emperor, since ancient times, it is not uncommon for princes to be abolished. For the sake of self-interest and for the master who has taken refuge in the family, the ministers below have no means to use it. The prince is weak, and is faintly overwhelmed by the third prince. A discerning person knows at a glance how to choose.

Ma Siyong smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It's the same sentence, don't look at the surface."

Ma Jinyu was a little unconvinced, "I also ask my father for advice."

Ma Siyong originally intended to point his son, "You can't underestimate the prince, the prince is cautious, and he has never made a wrong step over the years. How many people can do this? Over the years, although the emperor has a strict attitude towards him, often There is dissatisfaction, but why is it not the deep responsibility of love? As the crown prince, it is the future of Dayan's national fortune. Just imagine, why is it not because the emperor has too high expectations for the crown prince. If so, who knows whether it is true or false? There are many right and wrong in the palace, and many rumors can only be laughed at, such as the rumor of King Duan, do you think it is true?"

Ma Jinyu fell into contemplation. He was someone who had been in contact with Ming Yu twice, and he knew a little about Ming Yu. He could only sigh with emotion, it's better to meet each other than to be famous. Compared with those gossips, the real Duan Wang is really different.

Ma Siyong continued: "Although the third prince's mother's family is powerful, this dynasty forbids foreign relatives to govern. Isn't the power of the mother's family a stumbling block? Do you think the emperor will let a prince with a powerful foreign relative ascend to the top? If the new emperor ascends the throne, the tail will not fall off, is the surname of this Great Yan Dynasty Ming or Yang?".

"This..." Ma Jinyu frowned, he really hadn't thought about this question, "But how can the prince's mother family be a personal choice? Is it somewhat unbelievable that he is not eligible for the throne because of the relationship between the mother family?".

"Empress Yuan passed away for many years, but who can be promoted to the position of concubine in the harem? Concubine Hui, the mother concubine of the third prince, was promoted to Concubine Hui a few years ago. It was only one step away from that. Everyone thought that Concubine Hui would become the empress. But Over the years, has the emperor ever let his mouth go?" Ma Siyong reminded: "The prince was indeed crushed by the third prince, but now? Duan Wang firmly stood by the prince, and the goods he brought back from the Western Regions were completely unreserved. Let the prince deal with it. Because of the goods from the Western Regions, many people who didn't want to stand in line so quickly are biased towards the prince. The prince has made money from his connections, and he has also earned a lot of fame among the powerful. Do you think that the current prince is still alive? Are you weak?"

Ma Jinyu didn't dare to speak any more, his father's analysis was very reasonable, but he himself didn't see it through. It wasn't until his father woke up that he realized that Duan Wang was actually the crown prince's bargaining chip, but no one had ever noticed it.

"But my father, you said that following Duan Wang, you don't really have this plan, right? Duan Wang Dingtian is also a prince, what's the use value?"

Ma Siyong shook his head, "You're wrong, King Duan is no better than others. He has the foresight to enter the border. Convincing the emperor to connect to the Western Regions and build the Xiqi Corridor is enough to prove his extraordinaryness. Besides, behind King Duan, the prince stands, When we Majia Baba approached the prince, it was just like an ant. Who can look at you more? Even if you are attached to it, you are not as good as others. There, and now that he is short of people and money, the significance of our giving help is even more important, why should we follow King Duan?"
