Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Xiang Nan did not apply to go this time.

He was not afraid of being assassinated. With his martial arts, self-protection is still no problem.

He was avoiding confrontation with Qu Xiaofeng.

No matter in the book or in the play, the reason why Qu Xiaofeng hates Li Chengyin is because he led an army into Danchi, destroyed her mother clan, and killed her A Weng.

Therefore, if Xiang Nan wants to make Qu Xiaofeng fall in love with him, he can only give up going to Xizhou.

Although doing so would cost him some military merit, it was still worth it for him.

After all, it is not difficult for him to become a prince.

Moreover, the greatest military achievement in destroying Dan Chi was attributed to Li Chengye.

And without Xiang Nan's help, it would be very difficult for Li Chengye to find Dan Chi's tent, and naturally it would be difficult to level Dan Chi in one fell swoop. At most, it's just to fight a few tough battles with Dan Chi's main force to defeat Dan Chi's prestige.

In this way, Qu Xiaofeng's hatred for Feng Chao will also be reduced by a few points.

And after Xiang Nan succeeds to the throne, there will naturally be ways to destroy Dan Chi, unify the Western Territory, and become an emperor through the ages.

...

After Li Chengji left, Xiang Nan's life continued as usual.

Reading and practicing calligraphy, horseback riding and archery, playing and drinking banquets, having fun at your knees...

"Cheng Yin, now that your elder brother has been demoted and the position of crown prince is vacant, it is your good time." Seeing that he was still looking lazy and indifferent to the world, Empress Zhang Meiniang couldn't help persuading him, "You You should try your best to perform, so that you can enter the eyes of the Holy One and ascend to the position of prince in the future."

"Mother, my son is not interested in being the crown prince. I only want to be with my mother in this life, serve you, and be filial to you. My son is already satisfied." Xiang Nan laughed.

"What a silly boy, you only talk like a child." Seeing him say that, Zhang Meiniang felt relieved, and at the same time hated iron for being weak.

Xiang Nan knew that Queen Zhang Meiniang was the real culprit who killed Li Chengyin's biological mother, Gu Yuyao.

However, he didn't have much hatred for Zhang Meiniang.

Because Xiang Nan is an outsider, not the real Li Chengyin, so he can stay out of the matter and stand in the position of a bystander, without being troubled by past and old grudges.

To him, Gu Yuyao was just a stranger who had never met before, and he had almost no affection for her. But Zhang Meiniang brought up Li Chengyin from a young age, although she was strict with him, she also had admiration for him.

The so-called benevolence is not as great as nourishment.

For Xiang Nan, if he had to choose between Zhang Meiniang and Gu Yuyao, he would still choose Zhang Meiniang.

What's more, the real culprit who killed Gu Yuyao was actually Emperor Li Zhen.

If it wasn't for his acquiescence, Zhang Meiniang would not even be able to kill Gu Yuyao with poison, even close to her bedroom.

So Xiang Nan hates, and also hates Li Yu who has no affection for him, instead of Zhang Meiniang who did his best to raise him.

Therefore, knowing that she was the murderer of his biological mother, Xiang Nan could still laugh in front of her.

...

In addition to accepting Huanxi in front of Zhang Meiniang, Xiang Nan would occasionally visit Prime Minister Gao Ming.

Gao Ming is in power now, and the power is in the hands of the government and the public. If he wants to be a prince, he cannot do without Gao Ming's support.

"Fifth Prince, this is your favorite walnut cake when you were a child. I specially ordered the kitchen to make it for you." Gao Ming said to Xiang Nan with a smile.

"Yes, Uncle is taking care." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

In fact, Li Chengyin doesn't like walnut cakes, but because Gao Ming likes walnut cakes, he pretends that he also likes them.

It can be seen that Li Chengyin has been very scheming since he was a child, he already knows how to restrain his preferences, pretend and please others. As expected of a prince.

Xiang Nan remembered that when he was a child, he only knew how to piss and mud, chasing chickens and dogs.

"Well, it's delicious. Uncle's walnut cake is the best I've ever eaten." Xiang Nan praised sincerely.

He has a different taste from Li Chengyin, he thinks this walnut cake is actually very delicious, soft, sweet and delicious. Li Chengyin doesn't like to eat, he really doesn't know how to appreciate it.

Seeing that he was eating happily, Gao Ming smiled and nodded.

"Uncle, this time the emperor is going to serve in the Anhu Mansion in the Western Territory, so Cousin Gao Xian will have to worry a lot." Xiang Nan said again.

Originally, Gao Xian was the only one in the Anhu Mansion, but now there is an extra prince, Li Chengji. Even though he has been abolished now, he is still the crown prince in name, and he still suppresses the general Gao Xian.

Moreover, Li Chengji was upright and upright, and did not rub the sand in his eyes. After he went to the Anhu Mansion in the Western Territory, it was naturally impossible for Gao Xian to do whatever he wanted and be the only one who respected himself.

This is also one of the reasons why the Gao family sent someone to assassinate the prince. After all, the Anhu Mansion is the basic business of the Gao family for many years, so how could anyone else get their hands on it.

"It's a matter of being loyal to the emperor. He was ordered to guard the western border, so he should do his best." Gao Ming tilted his head and said.

Xiang Nan nodded, and then sighed, "Brother, I don't know when I will come back. I heard that Shuo Bo and Dan Chi in the western border are all ambitious wolves, and they often harass me. Merchant travel, murder and robbery, all kinds of evil. It really makes people worry about the safety of the emperor's brother."

"Fifth Prince really knows the way of filial piety." Gao Ming smiled slightly, "But the prince is auspicious and has his own appearance, so naturally nothing will happen.

In addition to worrying about the prince, the fifth prince should study diligently and work hard to make progress, so that he can take the place of the prince and share his worries. "

"Yes, Uncle is right, Cheng Yin has remembered it." Xiang Nan nodded and said.

They are all smart people, so don't speak too bluntly. Now that the prince has been deposed, the vacated throne of prince naturally needs someone to sit.

And Li Xi has five princes, among which the third prince Li Chengwen and the fourth prince Li Chengyuan are mediocre, lacking in talent and courage. The only ones who can be crown princes are Li Chengye and Li Chengyin.

Therefore, Gao Ming asked Xiang Nan to perform well in order to seek the crown prince.

But Xiang Nan knew that the emperor had long wanted Li Chengye to be the crown prince.

Firstly, behind Li Chengyin is the power of the empress and high minister. One of the two is in the front court and the other is in the harem, both of whom cover the sky with one hand. Therefore, he was worried that once he was buried, Feng Dynasty might fall into the hands of the Gao family, so he was always jealous.

In comparison, although there are forces such as King Zhong behind Li Chengye, they are weaker than the Gao family after all. Moreover, King Zhong is not as treacherous as Gao Ming, he is not worried that King Zhong will usurp power;

Secondly, to be an emperor must be cruel, poisonous, and cold-blooded enough to fight those courtiers. Li Chengyin is usually lazy, doing nothing without fighting. However, Li Chengye was a man of deep scheming, insidiousness and viciousness, and in Li Xi's opinion, he was more suitable to be an emperor.

But Li Chengye just liked to use poisonous tricks too much, so he was backlashed in the end, and ended up dying.

In fact, after he becomes the prince, as long as he lives in peace and waits for the emperor to die, he can ascend the throne smoothly.

But he misappropriated the copper used to make Buddhas, privately made copper coins, and fed the dead. He also poisoned Qu Xiaofeng, and framed and slandered Li Chengyin. After the incident of sending someone to assassinate the prince was exposed, they did not hesitate to rebel.

In the end, it was easily destroyed by Li Xi. The organ's calculations were too clever, and it cost Qingqing's life, that is to say, him.

Therefore, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has the saying, "Use righteousness to combine, use odds to win". Conspiracy is of course necessary, but conspiracy is even more important.
