This year's autumn hunt was destined to be an eventful one.
First, 'hunting deer' dragged the first prince, second prince and third prince into the water. Following that, 'partridge died of illness' dragged the rest of the princes into the water. Partridge was the most revered divine eagle by the three tribes of the Northern Borderline, and was also the totem symbol of the Northern Borderline Royal Family.
Seventh prince obtained a very majestic partridge from the trading company. He liked it very much, but in the end, he reluctantly gave it to his favourite eighth prince. Eighth prince was naturally attracted by the partridge, but when he thought of the King of the Northern Borderline's violent and suspicious nature, how would he dare to keep such a good partridge in his hands? He and seventh prince discussed and prepared to present the partridge during the autumn hunt.
If they could gain the approval of the King of the Northern Borderline during the autumn hunt, their status in the Imperial Court would rise.
To maintain the partridge in its most perfect state, they spent a lot of effort.
The day before the offering, seventh prince and eighth prince even personally went to see the partridge, and its condition was very good.
Unexpectedly, the partridge died of illness!
Eighth prince and seventh prince presented the partridge together, and when everyone carried it up, they found out that the partridge was already on its last breath and did not have long to live.
The smile on the King of the Northern Borderline's face froze, and immediately turned into anger.
He stood up and pulled out a knife from the rack, and acted like he was going to hack his two sons to death.
The King of the Northern Borderline felt that his body was weak, and was unable to satisfy his harem, that's why he consumed Hanshi powder to regain his former glory.
He also firmly believed that Hanshi powder could prolong his life, and preserve his glory forever.
If it wasn't because he was old and weak, which man would like to consume tiger and wolf medicine?
But now?
His two good sons praised him as the King of Partridge of the Northern Borderline, and then turned around to present him a partridge that was dying of illness.
The King of the Northern Borderline was the overlord of the Northern Borderline, and a ruthless character.
For power and status, he stepped on the corpses of his brothers and father, and led the Northern Borderline from a weak state to a strong state.
To him, status and power were the most important. If his sons wanted to touch him, he would kill them.
In such a short period of time, the King of the Northern Borderline was enraged, and the fingers on his right hand trembled uncontrollably.
He thought that he would kill his two sons on the spot, but unexpectedly, his eyes rolled back and he fainted from anger.
When the King of the Northern Borderline woke up, his anger was not as strong as before.
"Investigate! Investigate clearly for This Solitude just who is playing tricks behind the scenes! "
No matter how stupid the seventh and eighth princes were, they wouldn't dare to give him a dying Gongying and curse him in public.
The only possibility was that the two of them had been schemed against.
He wouldn't have known if he hadn't checked, but the moment he did, he was shocked.
Many princes were involved in this, but the circumstances varied. Some were intentional, while others were unintentional.
Now, all nine of his sons were reprimanded by the King of the Northern Borderline.
The Fourth Prince knelt for two whole days before he was released.
He went back to pack up, burned some incense, and took a bath. Then he solemnly and secretly met with Sun Wen.
"Mister is an extraordinary talent, please accept this humble king's bow."
The Fourth Prince did not like the Han culture, but he was good at pretending and observing people's expressions. He could often poke at the itch of others and win their favor.
"Fourth Prince, you don't have to do this. Wen is just acting on my master's orders."
Sun Wen dodged and raised his hand to help the fourth prince, who was still bowing to the ground, up.
After the fourth prince heard this, a fierce look flashed across his eyes.
He admired Sun Wen because Sun Wen only had brains but no power, and he could control him.
However, the fourth prince hated Harrencha very much, and even wanted him to die.
Because Harrencha was an important minister of the Northern Borderline, but now he was toying with the prince of the Northern Borderline.
When he inherited the throne of the Northern Borderline, the fourth prince would put him in an important position, but Sun Wen would not tolerate Harrencha.
This was also Sun Wen's goal.
He wanted to use the fourth prince to eliminate the other princes, and then provoke the conflict between the fourth prince and Harrencha. Before the fourth prince's power grew, he would first urge Harrencha and the ninth prince to join forces and get rid of the fourth prince. In the end, only Harrencha and the ninth prince were left.
When the time came, Sun Wen had other arrangements.
He would ensure that the Northern Borderline's royal family would be completely extinct!
Thinking of this, Sun Wen's old face raised a somewhat detached smile, just in time to meet the situation.
"This time, thank you for your guidance, Mister, but this humble king does not understand one thing."
The fourth prince secretly rubbed his knees. Bursts of pain spread throughout his body, making it impossible for him to kneel, so he could only sit on a small stool.
Sun Wen asked. "Fourth Prince, please speak."
The fourth prince said, "Mister, you have the talent to rule the world. You can remove this humble king from this matter. Why make this humble king suffer like this?"
After kneeling for two days and two nights, not to mention his knees, just holding in his urine for two days made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Self-degradation is also a form of self-protection." Sun Wen smiled. "You should learn this from your eldest brother. If everyone is involved, and only you are aloof, won't the target be too obvious? At that time, you will become the target of public criticism. Therefore, you can only suffer. "
The fourth prince sighed inwardly. It was not that he did not know this, but he could not blame Sun Wen for not doing a good job.
"You mean … Eldest Brother used self-degradation to protect himself?"
The fourth prince's eyes widened in surprise.
"The Han family pays particular attention to the eldest son. The first prince's biological mother is the first wife of the King. He is both the eldest son and the eldest son. Not only is he the oldest, but he has also been running his forces for the longest time. His mother's family is low-key and has not declined. Although the Han family's rules are not popular in the Northern Borderline, there are still important ministers in the court who like to follow this rule. At this time, the first prince is the target of public criticism. If he performs slightly better, not to mention the other princes, even the King will not tolerate him. In order to protect himself and plan for the future, he can only pollute himself and retreat in order to advance! "
The fourth prince did not agree, but Sun Wen's words were clear and logical, so he had to believe him.
He remembered that the first prince was indeed outstanding when he was young.
"Thank you for your guidance, sir."
In this case, he had to be wary of this eldest brother.
The fourth prince consulted Sun Wen for an hour, as if he had obtained a treasure.
Little did he know that Sun Wen, who was scheming for him, was a four-way spy.
He was truly loyal to Liu Xi. On the surface, he submitted to Harrencha, but he secretly hooked up with the fourth prince. Deeper down, he was in cahoots with the ninth prince.
How could he not be talented if he could have a foot in four boats with ease?
When the atmosphere was almost ready, the two of them talked from the internal affairs of the Northern Borderline to the border.
Speaking of the border, they had to mention the Liu family of Chongzhou, who was like a fishbone stuck in the throat of the Northern Borderline.
After Liu She left, Liu Xi, who was even more difficult to deal with, came. The Northern Borderline must have offended the Tai Sui these few years.
The fourth prince snorted and said contemptuously, "… I wonder what color Liu Xi's woman is …"
Sun Wen said, "It doesn't matter whether she is good-looking or not. What matters is that she has troops and power in her hands."
The fourth prince glanced at Sun Wen and said, "Sir, you don't understand."
"Don't understand what?" Sun Wen asked, amused.
The fourth prince confided in Sun Wen and even joked from time to time.
He said meaningfully, "For a man, there is nothing more interesting than conquering a woman who is difficult to conquer."
The more difficult it was to conquer, the more enjoyable it was.
Sun Wen said calmly, "Oh."
He understood what the fourth prince meant, but at the same time, he felt a bit of disdain.
