Chapter 3240 The Arrogant Four Kings
The three of them did not ride very fast, they just let the horses canter. They sat on the horses and chatted. They walked towards Hengdao City while chatting. Zhao Hai Dao is not worried about his safety at all. Dao Baiying has already said that Hengdao City is already tight on the outside and tight on the inside. If people from the Tiger Soul Kingdom dare to come here, they will only die.
As soon as the three of them walked to the Dao Gate of Hengdao City, a cavalry ran out. As soon as they saw this cavalry, Dao Baiying stopped immediately, and his expression was not very good.
Zhao Hai was stunned, and then he took a closer look at the cavalry. The cavalry consisted of a total of twenty horses. Walking in front was a tall bay-red horse that looked very handsome. Mei, sitting on the horse was a young man wearing bright yellow clothes. This man looked to be about twenty-seven or eight years old, not a few years older than Dao Baiying, but his appearance was very handsome. The eyebrows are somewhat similar to Dao Baiying's.
As soon as he saw this man's appearance and clothes, Zhao Hai immediately made a judgment. This man must be a member of the royal family and a prince, and he looked more... Dao Baiying still needs to be favored.
The other party also saw Dao Baiying. He didn't give Dao Baiying a chance to evade. He rode straight towards Dao Baiying, stopped about ten steps away from Dao Baiying, and then took out his eyes. He kept looking at the three of them and stopped at Zhao Hai for a while.
Zhao Hai couldn't help but frown slightly. He didn't like this man's eyes. There was a trace of evil in his eyes and a hint of condescension, which made people very uncomfortable. Comfortable.
At this time, the man also spoke to Dao Baiying: "My good seventh brother, haven't you graduated from Daojun Pavilion yet? Really, look at me, now I have begun to worry about my father. But you are still staying at Daojun Pavilion. I really don’t know why you are still staying there. Do you still want to win over someone? I think you should not be in vain? Don't worry about it. The people staying in Daojun Pavilion are all people who are looked down upon by the major families. Even if you win over them, what help will it do to you? I think you should graduate as soon as possible. If you take up any position, you might be able to fight with me. If you continue like this, you won't even be qualified to fight with me."
Dao Baiying glanced at him and said: "Fourth brother, I don't know what you are talking about. I am just not sure about graduating from the academy because of my poor academic performance. Who are you trying to win over? The fourth brother was joking."
As soon as Dao Baiying said this, Zhao Hai knew the identity of this person. This person was the fourth prince. , Dao Baixiong, despite his majestic name, he is very handsome and delicate, and don't be fooled by his handsome appearance. Dao Baixiong is listed as the prince who least wants to be contacted in the Hu family, because this person is greedy Hua is lustful and not very strong, but his mind is very sinister. He is also narrow-minded and will retaliate for his anger. He is the most hated prince by the Hu family.
Although Dao Baixiong is now in Daohun Kingdom, he looks very prosperous. He has begun to serve as an errand in front of the emperor, and he also got an errand in the Ministry of Household Affairs, in charge of a lot of the finances of Daohun Country, but he is in the Hu family It seems that he is the person least likely to become the next emperor, because the old emperor does not like him, and although he is famous on the surface, there are not many big families who really support him. To put it bluntly, he is just a looker. They are just paper tigers that look beautiful and majestic.
When Dao Baiying said this, Dao Baixiong couldn't help but snorted, then turned to look at Zhao Hai, then laughed at Zhao Hai and said: "This must be the disciple of the Hu family. I've thought about it for a long time. I never had the chance to meet you, but I didn’t expect to see you here. This is such a blessing.”
Zhao Hai cupped his fist at Dao Baixiong and said, “Tian Hecao has met His Highness the Fourth Prince. , I was supposed to I went to see His Highness because I had a lot of things going on recently and I didn’t have time to go. I was rude. I hope Your Highness will forgive me.”
Dao Baixiong smiled slightly and said, “Forgive me. What is unforgivable?” of , I know that the rules of the Hu family are very strict, and my husband will not run around when he comes to study in the academy. I wonder if what I said is right?"
Zhao Hai said with a smile: "What the Fourth Highness said? Yes.”
When Dao Baixiong saw that Zhao Hai did not contradict him, he stopped talking. He knew very well that the Hu family had always remained neutral in the battle between princes. They were only loyal to the king. No matter who became the king, Hu Whoever is the last one is home, so now even if Zhao Hai and Dao Baiying are very close, Dao Baixiong is not surprised at all, because in the Hu family, it is not Zhao Hai who has the final say.
Dao Baixiong saw that although Zhao Hai did not contradict him, he did not answer his words, so he no longer paid attention to Zhao Hai, but turned to look at Dao Baiying and said: "My good seventh brother, You are twenty-four years old today. I really don’t know how long you want to hide in Daojun Pavilion. Forget it, you like it Just huddle there, because the royal family will have nothing to eat from now on, and I won’t starve you to death, hahahahaha.” After saying this, Dao Baixiong laughed and left, and the knights who followed him all followed him. Ye Ye left behind him in a swaggering manner, and no one even saluted Dao Baiying.
Dao Baiying looked at Dao Baixiong who was leaving with a livid face. It was not surprising that his face was so ugly. You must know that Dao Baiying was better than his fourth brother in terms of both personality and talent. A lot, but now he is still in college, and his fourth brother has become an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Ministry of Household Affairs is the department in charge of money, and there is a big shortage.
Zhao Hai looked at Dao Baiying's appearance, smiled slightly and said: "What's wrong, Brother Dao? Are you angry?"
Dao Baiying took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Can you Aren't you angry? My brother in the family is like me At such an old age, I have graduated from the college and have been working in various departments. But look at me, I am still in the college. My father just won’t let me graduate. Hey, I don’t know what my father did. Think about it.”
Zhao Hai looked at Dao Baiying and smiled slightly: "Brother Dao, what do you think? Do you want to inherit the throne in the future?" When Dao Baiying heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help being stunned, and then he couldn't help but look Zhao Hai glanced at him, because Zhao Hai's question was already a bit disrespectful. Of course, it was not disrespectful to him, but disrespectful to the current emperor.
Zhao Hai looked at Dao Baiying and smiled sheepishly: "I'm sorry, Brother Dao, I have no ambition at all for power or anything, I just want to As a good planter, His Majesty is not a strong deterrent to me.”
When Dao Baiying and Lang Shiping heard what Zhao Hai said, they couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was indeed as Zhao Hai said, the king was powerful, and for a planter with no ambition at all, he really had no deterrent effect. Because the emperor had almost no control over him, what kind of deterrent could this have.
Dao Baiying sighed and said nothing, but Zhao Hai already understood what he meant. There was a prince who did not want to be the emperor in the future, and the same was true for Dao Baiying. He also wanted to be the emperor, and he also wanted to Sit on that supreme position.
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "Brother Dao, there is no need to worry too much. For someone like the fourth prince to enter an important department of the country early, it is not necessarily a good thing. If he can be as clear as water, then it will be okay. , If he really dares to reach out, then his life will be over."
When Dao Baiying heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then became a little puzzled. Looking at Zhao Hai said: "Oh? How do you say this?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "I just think so. I think your Majesty doesn't like people who embezzle people's wealth, right?"
>
Dao Baiying smiled bitterly, then took a long breath and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's go to the city to drink." After saying that, he lightly knocked on the horse's belly, and everyone went to the city. Go.
Soon the three of them went into the city and found a hotel. Dao Baiying ordered a table of wine and food, and the three of them started eating and drinking. Dao Baiying drank two more drinks because he felt unhappy. Cup, and soon became drunk. Lang Shiping sent Dao Baiying back to his house, but Zhao Hai had already returned to the college.
When Zhao Hai returned to Songlin Ju, there was no one in Songlin Ju. This really surprised Zhao Hai, but he didn't care so much and went straight back to his room, ready to have a good sleep.
Hiding on his bed, Zhao Hai pulled his mental power into his soul object space again. The golden energy in his soul object space had disappeared, and the natural energy he had lost was also replenished. He came back, but the little thing was still sleeping and had no intention of waking up.
Zhao Hai stopped caring about her, and withdrew his mental energy from the soul object space, lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and fell asleep soon. But Zhao Hai didn't know that Dao Baiying was not drunk at all. He woke up after returning to the house.
Dao Baiying and Lang Shiping were sitting in his study. Dao Baiying looked at Lang Shiping and said: "Shiping, what do you mean by what Hecao said today? It was a hint to me. ? Or does the Hu family want to lean towards me?"
Lang Shiping shook his head and said, "No, sir. You should also know that the Hu family has never participated in the battle for the throne, so what He Cao said cannot be what the Hu family asked him to say. I am afraid that he did not have any intention to imply His Highness. I think he may just be making comments. From one point of view, he believes that it is impossible for His Royal Highness to ascend to the throne.”
Dao Baiying looked at Lang Shiping and said: "Why? What do you think? Do you think it is possible for me, the fourth brother, to ascend to the big position? Ordinarily, among our brothers in the court now, only the fourth brother is the most prosperous, and he is in the household department. , the place that manages money."
Lang Shiping shook his head and said: "I can't see it. It's very possible. The Fourth Highness is very prosperous now, but as Hecao said, he is in the Ministry of Revenue, which is the place that manages money. If the Fourth Highness doesn't put his hand on the money, it would be better. If he If he really reaches out, His Majesty's temper will definitely not let him go, but now look at His Majesty the Fourth Prince He looks arrogant and domineering, and his life is extremely luxurious. Is it possible to say that he has not touched the money of the Ministry of Revenue? It can be said that this alone is enough to disqualify the fourth prince from ascending to the throne. I don’t know why Your Majesty still allows His Majesty Four to stay at the Ministry of Revenue. Maybe His Majesty has his own considerations."
Dao Baiying listened quietly to Lang Shiping's words. After Lang Shiping finished speaking, Dao Baiying also took a breath and said, "I hope so. ”
