Hearing Princess Ling La's words, Xiao Zheng's face flashed with curiosity. But he quickly regained his composure, took a sip of tea and asked, "You want to advance by retreating?"
Princess Ling La smiled and said, "Hua Xia has so many stories about the weak defeating the strong. Mr. Xiao, why don't you give me a few examples? "
Xiao Zheng shook his head helplessly, "I graduated from high school. He didn't finish his studies, and his level of education was too low. I'm afraid I'll be showing off in front of the Prince, and I might even mislead him. "
Princess Ling La smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao is too modest. I've seen what you did in Xin Ao, and the competition with Chang Yishan. Although the war of commerce is different from the struggle of the palace, it is still the same. "
Xiao Zheng listened and looked around, "Are you sure you want to listen?"
"Of course." Princess Ling La said seriously. "I trust Mr. Xiao's ability."
After a pause, Princess Ling La stood up and said, "Let's talk somewhere else?"
"Okay. Where? "Xiao Zheng asked.
"My room." Princess Ling La smiled, quite charming.
People often say that flowers are beautiful but poisonous. Isn't this the same saying about Princess Ling La? She fought for power and killed her own mother. Hearing that the Emperor had passed away, she didn't feel sad at all. Instead, she revealed a faint excitement. This kind of woman is really the legendary Bamboo Leaf Viper, with a body full of poison.
Anyone who got too close might be poisoned to the point of bleeding from all seven orifices and die.
Xiao Zheng's deal with Princess Ling La is like walking on a tightrope, making a deal with the devil. A little carelessness will lead to eternal damnation.
Isn't this the situation right now?
Xiao Zheng had been to Ling Lai's mansion several times, and this time he stayed there for a long time. But he had never entered the boudoir of Prince Ling Lai. As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a faint sandalwood fragrance, calming his anxious mood. Looking at the layout of the place, it also exuded the charm of the ancient Chinese style. Whether it was the expensive mahogany bed, tea table or chairs, they all exuded an antique smell.
"Prince, you really have good taste." Xiao Zheng looked around and casually sat down on a chair. The chair was cushioned, so it didn't hurt his buttocks. Instead, it was very comfortable. "Even in Hua Xia, it's hard to find such an antique room."
"Hua Xia style is similar to Japan. Some said it could be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, while others said it could be traced back to the Han Dynasty. But to me, no matter if it's from Huaxia or Japan, as long as it's good, it should be preserved and passed down. "Princess Ling Lai smiled.
"If the Koreans were as noble as you, there wouldn't be so much drama to watch." Xiao Zheng joked.
Ying Xiang brought tea and snacks. Maybe because she hadn't eaten for the whole day, Princess Ling La drank a cup of tea and ate a few pastries in front of Xiao Zheng. She said gently, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao."
"It's nothing." Xiao Zheng shook his head and said. "I would be surprised if you never eat in front of me."
Princess Ling La nodded, then went straight to the point, "Mr. Xiao. If I withdraw, what do you think the next step should be? "
Xiao Zheng knew that Princess Ling La should be prepared. Or maybe she wasn't too sure and wanted to combine her opinions. He didn't hide anything and said, "Your Royal Highness, since you know the history of Hua Xia. I believe you know that when an emperor ascends to the throne, the first thing he does is settle scores. "
Princess Ling La heard this and her eyes brightened, "Of course. A new emperor brings his own courtiers. When a new emperor ascends to the throne, he naturally has to settle scores with his enemies. To ensure a stable foundation. "
"Throughout the history of Hua Xia, few emperors would let go of their brothers and sisters who fought for the throne. After ascending to the throne, they would punish them one by one and execute them. "Xiao Zheng said slowly. "Even if they aren't killed, they will be imprisoned for life. Banished to the Cold Palace. "
Princess Ling La nodded and said, "That's right."
"But on the other hand, once he ascends to the throne, he will have unparalleled power. He can use a lot of resources to punish his enemies. If he wants to turn the tables, it will be even more difficult. "Xiao Zheng smiled and paused, waiting for Princess Ling La's response.
"The power of the Tokyo Imperial Family is far less than that of the Hua Xia Emperor. And the Emperor, to a large extent, is just a symbol. "Princess Ling La smiled. "So whether he ascends to the throne or not, there won't be a big increase in his power. On the contrary, the Imperial Family Association will have higher and stricter requirements for him. "
"That's it." Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes and said. "In the struggle for power, you can do anything. But once you ascend to the throne, you should have the style of a general and have a broad mind. You can't casually punish your enemies. Otherwise, your elders and uncles won't agree. You'll feel a sense of crisis, and you'll feel sad for the death of the rabbit. "
"That's basically it." Princess Ling La nodded with a Smile.
"So, His Royal Highness is taking a step back in order to advance. You want him to make a mistake after ascending to the throne? "Xiao Zheng said seriously.
"Do you think there's a big chance, Mr. Xiao?" Princess Ling La didn't answer directly. Instead, she asked cautiously.
"Big. But it's also very dangerous. "Xiao Zheng said slowly. "What if Crown Prince Tian Xiong understands your intentions? What if he doesn't care about you after ascending to the throne? "
"So, I need to keep giving him trouble. I need to make him understand that if I don't die, he won't be able to sit on the throne. "Princess Ling La's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Xiao Zheng was shocked and asked seriously, "Is that the only way?"
"The other ways are not ideal." Princess Ling La shook her head. "The fight will take too long. It will also make the government lose confidence in me. It will also make the Imperial Family dissatisfied with me. Whether I ascend to the throne or the Crown Prince, we will face the same problem. "
Xiao Zheng's eyes flashed with caution, "How are you going to force him after he ascends to the throne?"
"After he ascends to the throne, I don't need to force him too much." Princess Ling La said slowly. "All these years, I have built some connections in the Imperial Family. Including Imperial Uncle Miyamoto, he also has his own force. As long as we don't cooperate and go against his orders … "
"He won't tolerate us." Princess Ling La's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Ascend to the throne? The Emperor? Without absolute authority, he will only be a puppet if he ascends to the throne. "
"So, he must kill you?" Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes and asked.
"Mr. Xiao should already know about this, right?" Princess Ling La smiled.
Suddenly.
She stood up.
The gauze-like dress fell off. Revealing a light purple bra and underwear …
