V1.Chapter 325

Seeing that Shao Fang only had a chat without a word after taking his seat, Dong Sheng first cut to the point and asked with a smile, "Your Highness's sudden visit must be something?"

"Ha ha!" Shao Fang is waiting for Dong Sheng to take the initiative to ask questions. With a long smile, he asked, "Dong Xiang, my father is old, but he has not set up a prince. What do you mean?"

Dong Sheng was stunned, and then immediately bowed his hand and said, "as a minister, it's inconvenient for me to say anything about the Royal reserve."

"Hey?" Shao Fang waved his hand and said, "we're just talking in private. It's harmless."

Dong Sheng looked at Shao Fang, who pretended to be casual, and secretly laughed in his heart. As the right-hand face of Mo Kingdom, he has empty hair when he pulls it out. His shrewd mind is far more than anyone else. Shao Fang, who was indifferent to himself, suddenly came to visit in person. It must be for the sake of making a reserve. He pondered for a moment, waved to the left and right, sent out the servants and attendants in the lobby, and then Fang whispered, "maybe you still have doubts in your heart!"

Shao Fang pursed his lips and asked bluntly, "in Dong Xiang's opinion, who will my father finally make Prince?" While talking, he leaned forward and looked at Dong Sheng without blinking.

Dong Sheng didn't think much and said, "Your Highness Shaobo, the third prince, is kind-hearted and appreciated by the king's Court of Ningguo. I think you may make your highness Shaobo crown prince in the future."

After hearing this, Shao Fang's face suddenly changed, but soon returned to normal. He smiled with a strong face, but he didn't answer again.

Smart as Dong Sheng, who can't see Shaofang's loss. He moved the corners of his mouth to speak, but finally swallowed it back. The old man frowned, picked up the tea cup, took a sip slowly and praised: "this tea is bitter first and then fragrant. It's really a top-grade tea!"

Shaofang was not in the mood to discuss the tea ceremony with Dong Sheng at this time. Dong Sheng is the most trusted Minister of his father. He also knows his father's mind best. Even he thinks that his father will make Shaobo prince. He basically has no hope. He couldn't help but sigh, stood up, nodded at Dong Sheng and said, "it's presumptuous to visit suddenly, so I'll..." he tried to leave, but he hadn't finished saying goodbye. At this time, Zongyuan, standing behind him, hurriedly stretched out his hand and quietly grabbed his back hem. Shao Fang was stunned and looked back at Zong Yuan. The latter looked at him, shook his head slightly, and motioned Shao Fang to sit down first and not to leave in a hurry.

Dong Shenggang is talking about tea, but Zongyuan seems to be talking about Shaofang. Isn't Shao Fang in a very difficult situation now? Dong Sheng left hastily before he fully understood his intention. He was afraid that he would miss a good opportunity.

After receiving Zongyuan's hint, Shaofang turned his eyes, thought for a moment, and sat back on the collapse.

At this time, Dong Sheng asked strangely, "Your Highness, are you leaving?"

"No! I just get up and move my muscles!" Shao Fang said with a smile.

"Oh!" Dong Sheng answered, raised his eyes and looked at Zong Yuan behind Shaofang. This man is not simple. How come he has never seen this man? Thinking, he smiled and asked, "Your Highness, I don't know if this gentleman is..."

Before Shao Fang answered, Zongyuan bowed his hands first and said, "I've seen Dong Xiang under Zongyi!"

Zongyi? Dong Sheng shook his head secretly. He had never heard of the name.

Zong Yuan asked with a smile, "I don't know something, but I'm afraid Dong Xiang will blame me when I ask. I don't know Dong Xiang..."

Dong Sheng smiled, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zongyi, please speak!"

Zong Yuan smiled and said, "I don't know. What's Dong's opinion about his highness Shaobo being the prince?"

oh Dong Sheng took a breath and didn't expect Zongyuan to ask about this. Yuan Zong's eyes fell on the table for a long time.

Shao Fang is also a smart man. When he saw this, he was moved. If Dong Sheng supports Shao Bo as the crown prince, after listening to Zong Yuan's question, he certainly wants to make a statement, but at this time he is so hesitant. Is he opposed to Shao Bo as the crown prince?

Thinking of this, Shao Fang's eyes brightened and glanced back at Zongyuan gratefully. Fortunately, Zongyuan caught himself in time.

He stared at Dong Sheng silently, waiting for his answer.

After a while, Dong Sheng raised his head, didn't answer Zongyuan's question, and asked Shaofang, "Your Highness, what do you think of the current Peng state?"

"Pengguo?" Shao was dazed and didn't react for a while.

"It's the former wind country." Dong Sheng added.

"Oh!" Shao Fang shook his head and said, "Zhong Tian killed the king and established himself as the king. It all depends on the support of the state of Ning. If you say you are a king, you are actually a minister of Ning. If you are not a king, the state is not a country. This is the shame of the wind people."

Dong Sheng was very moved when he heard the speech. He couldn't help but praise it in his heart and sighed faintly: "just now, Mr. Zongyi asked me what I think of his highness Shaobo as the prince. If his highness Shaobo is the prince and the king of Mo, I'm afraid that today's pengguo is the Ming Yue of our country of Mo!"

Shao Fangben was drinking tea with a teacup in his hand. After hearing Dong Sheng's words, his body was shocked. The teacup in his hand didn't grasp firmly and fell directly on the table. The tea sprinkled all over him.

Seeing this, the armour guards on both sides hurried forward to wipe him. Shao Fang waved his arm and pushed all the armour guards away. Then he looked at Dong Sheng, stood up in silence, walked close to him, adjusted his clothes, arched his hands, gave a deep salute, and said in a trembling tone: "Dong Xiang's words, true knowledge and insight, are the pillars of the king's court and the pillars of me!"

No matter whether Shao Fang is out of true feelings or acting, as a prince, it's very rare to be able to salute his ministers so respectfully.

Seeing this, Dong Sheng leaned back and nearly fell over on the seat. The old man quickly stood up, bypassed the table, stretched out his hands to help Shaofang up, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, what are you doing? This... This is killing the old minister!"

Shao Fang's eyes were rosy and sobbed: "the ambition of Ningguo is obvious. Its goal is by no means the wind country. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty follow Ningguo's lead, flatter and beg for mercy. Only Dong Xiang has far-reaching vision and insight. It's true that heaven will not die in our country!"

Shao Fang's ability to say such words also surprised Dong Sheng. He sighed repeatedly in his heart. It seems that he despised this second highness too much. His highness Shaofang is by no means stupid and incompetent! Dong Sheng quickly saluted and said, "Your Highness is serious. At least your highness and the old minister have the same idea above the king's court."

For a long time, Dong Sheng didn't take a stand against the crown prince because he was not greedy for the favor of the princes. Instead, he felt that as ministers, they should not interfere with the establishment of the crown prince. This was a household affair of the royal family, and the ministers were outsiders. Moreover, he didn't think that any prince was suitable to be the crown prince and become the king of Mo in the future.

The eldest prince is born blind. He is talented and capable, but he can't even see the music. How can he be the king of a country? Shao Fang, the second prince, is gloomy and moody. He can't see whether his ability is good or bad. Once he becomes a king, he will be a tyrant; Shao Bo, the third prince, is kind and righteous, but like the current king, he is indecisive, lack of initiative and easy to be controlled by others. If he is a king, it's just to have good officials around him. If he annihilates his officials and gets the way, the country of Mo will die. Moreover, more importantly, Shao Bo is a close believer in the country of Ning. If he presides over the government, the country of Mo will be killed in the future. As for the other princes, they all have their own shortcomings. One is better than the other. In Dong Sheng's heart, there is really no one who is the best candidate for the crown prince.

At this time, Shao Fang said such words, how can he not be impressed?

Of course, Shao Fang didn't think Ningguo could threaten Mo Guo before, which was instilled by Tang Yin. Last night, Tang Yin not only mentioned once that if Fengguo was completely destroyed by Ning, Ningguo's next goal must be mo Guo. Tang Yin's idea coincided with Dong Sheng. Shao Fang is learning and using now. When he speaks out, he happens to talk about Dong Sheng's heart.

Now Shao Fang doesn't have to ask for it. Instead, Dong Sheng takes the initiative to say, "Your Highness has great talents. The country of Mo is very lucky, and the people of Mo are very lucky. The old minister is willing to assist your highness and win the supreme throne!"

Shao Fang was so excited that he almost jumped up. He even doubted whether he was dreaming.

Who is Dong Sheng? The support of Dong Sheng is not just the support of a right minister, but the support of a large group of important officials. Above the king's court, Dong Sheng's influence is not small. There are not a few ministers who follow his horse. If he can get the support of such a faction, why don't you worry that he can't become a prince?

Shao Fang bowed to the ground again and said in a hurry, "with Dong's help, great things can be accomplished!" After saying that, he pressed down his excited mood and said with a worried face: "but my father has chosen my third brother as the candidate for the crown prince, I..."

Dong Sheng smiled and said, "although it has been decided, there are still variables before the imperial edict is published. Even if the imperial edict is published, the crown prince is not unshakable."

"Oh?" Shao Fang was in great spirits and hurriedly asked, "does Dong Xiang have a way to change his father's decision?"

Dong Sheng nodded, but immediately shook his head and said with a smile, "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry for a while. This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. You have to take your time."

Seeing Dong Sheng's confident appearance, Shaofang relaxed and stopped asking questions. He said positively, "Dong Xiang is willing to help me. If I am a king in the future, I will grant Dong Xiang the rank of Lord, reward the land, and let the Dong family be powerful from generation to generation!"

His promise was heavy enough, but Dong Sheng didn't care about it at all. He smiled calmly and said, "thank your Highness for paying so much attention to the old minister. The old minister doesn't care about glory and wealth, but he doesn't want to be a minister of his subordinates like Peng minister!" Zhong Tian is a minister to the state of Ning. Even the monarch is a minister. What are the following ministers?

Shao Fang didn't feel anything, but Tang Yin and Zongyuan could feel it. At this time, Tang Yin suddenly said, "if Dong xiangruo wants Mo country not to be threatened by Ning country, we should join hands to fight Ning!"
