Chapter 252 Who does this position belong to?
"I am worthy of being the ninth brother. It's really rare to think so carefully. When I was in the Imperial College, my brothers were too clumsy and became clowns."
At this moment, a playful voice came to Xiao Zhengtai's ears and immediately turned around and looked at the place where the sound came from. He saw his fourth brother Li Tai, smiling with deep meaning at this moment.
"Zhi Nu has met the Fourth Brother!"
Xiao Zhengtai didn't take his target seriously. The other princes' eyes were now all staring there for a moment, and he was the person who had the most hope of occupying that position.
"Zhi Nu! The Fourth Brother really admires you. He has made so many contributions to the Tang Dynasty at a young age. Even the prince did not have such ability.
In order to set up an unusual celebration banquet for you, the father would actually invite all the civil and military officials in the court. Even the fourth brother was lucky enough to attend this banquet with the help of the Ching Nu.”
Li Tai said self-deprecatingly, looking like he was joking with Xiao Zhengtai. I don’t know that the princes’ eyes were red when his father’s actions this time. The eldest brother said it was right, and the father’s preference for Xiao Zhengtai had reached its peak.
"The fourth brother was joking. These were all prepared by the father. Zhinu was the prince of the Tang Dynasty. It was a matter of course to do anything for the Tang Dynasty. However, in order to establish a principle that one must reward merits, the father held this celebration banquet, and Zhinu was not allowed to do anything."
Anyone can hear the bitterness in his words, but he shouldn't use this method to stimulate Xiao Zhengtai. At that moment, Xiao Zhengtai didn't spoil him and directly acted like a cheap person and pushed everything onto his father.
"The ninth brother is right. My father is a wise king of the generation. He will naturally rub his hair clearly and will not rub the sand in his eyes. A clever mind may benefit for a moment, but it will never be able to be satisfied for the rest of his life."
After hearing Xiao Zhengtai's words, Li Tai's face turned obviously dark. He did not expect that he would be defeated by quarrel with this younger brother.
It seems that the rumored things are not all about scheming. At least this little boy should not be underestimated.
As for those great contributions, Li Tai would not believe them at all. Those were just small actions secretly made by his father's aura and favor him.
"Oh! Sometimes smart people often live longer. Fourth brother, why bother with such meaningless issues?"
Xiao Zhengta shook his head helplessly. He could feel the jealousy in Li Tai's words, but this childish and extreme provocation was too ridiculous.
"Yes! If my brother wasn't so stupid, how could he end up like this today? Zhinu, who would have become the prince in the future?"
Li Tai obviously recognized Xiao Zhengtai's words very much. The elder brother's fate can be said to be self-inflicted. He gave up that position himself, which gave them the opportunity.
"Fourth brother, there are some things that I just think about in my heart. How can we guess what my father is thinking about?"
After Xiao Zhengtai glanced around and found that no one had noticed him, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was a bit too late to talk about the prince at this critical moment.
"Why can't you guess? The eldest brother has been abandoned. That position is now empty. Can't we guess who can do that position?"
Li Tai shrugged indifferently. This is not a private matter. Since they are all princes, everyone has the opportunity to sit in that position, then there will be no problem if you discuss it.
"It seems that the fourth brother cares a lot about that position?"
Xiao Zhengta actually doesn't mind who can sit in that position in the end. As long as he wants that position, he can become his at any time.
"Of course of us brothers, who wouldn't be jealous of that position?"
In front of Xiao Zhengtai, Li Tai did not hide his ambitions and admitted it calmly that he was very interested in that position.
"Well! What the Fourth Brother said makes sense."
Xiao Zhengtai didn't expect that this guy would admit it so readily, which surprised him a little. At least in his mind, Li Tai was much stronger than Li Chengqian.
He even found that just as the two were discussing, the other brothers' eyes were always looking at them intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were silently guarding against something.
"Zhinu, we are all princes. Whoever can do it in that position depends entirely on their own abilities, let's see!"
Li Tai was not very satisfied with this negotiation. Xiao Zhengtai's calmness made him a little anxious. Originally, he jumped out to provoke, but Xiao Zhengtai directly gave him a cold treatment, indifferent, so that he had no place to use his strength.
Xiao Zhengtai didn't take his threat to heart. She was still as beautiful as a spring breeze, with a smile on her face, taking a unique small square step in the banquet.
"Your Highness, congratulations. I didn't expect that Your Majesty would be so big today. Brothers have nothing to give me. I hope Your Highness won't dislike you!"
Just as Xiao Zhengtai was walking alone, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu came over with a smile. Before they could determine who the next prince was, the ministers in the court still had many concerns in their hearts.
Although Xiao Zhengtai’s ability is unquestionable, who can tell the truth about the matters in the royal family, especially when His Highness is young, who can guarantee that he will always be favored in front of His Majesty.
"I'm interested, but it's useless for us brothers to talk about this."
Xiao Zhengtai doesn't mind what gifts they give him. Everyone has been through life and death so many times at a time, so they can give their backs to each other long ago. Now they are playing with these stupid things with themselves, which is really too much.
"Your Highness, if His Majesty hadn't done this big, we brothers wouldn't have to spend money. Our lives are all yours, and we really don't have anything to do, but this kind of occasion is different!
Even if the brothers tighten their belts, they will support His Highness’s face. Without His Highness, there would be no brothers today. All this gift was not only given by me and Huaiyu, but also for those brothers.”
Cheng Chumo curled his lips, wanting them to give gifts on their own initiative. This is just a dream. It would be nice if you, the master, don’t give them some benefits.
There are exceptions to everything. Now, these ten thousand soldiers are wearing pairs of pants with Xiao Zhengtai. People are emotional. They know who is good to them. What's more, these external objects were given to them by His Highness, and they will not be reluctant to leave them in return.
"Take the things back and give them to your brothers. If they can have this heart, I will be content."
A warm current surged in Xiao Zhengtai's heart, and there was no brocade box in Cheng Chumo's hand. Although he knew that the things inside might not be very precious, the brothers' wishes were the best gifts for him, and these external objects were no longer used.
