The ancestral temple of the Dantai family is located at the southernmost corner of the mansion. The white walls and gray tiles show solemnity. The family's eaves are engraved on the carved railings of flying eaves - the three-legged golden crow. The ancestral temples are placed on the sacrificial halls of family members of all generations. The ancestral temples will gather all family members only on the day of worship and during important family meetings. The Dantai family has been passed down for a hundred years and started from the military. All clans who are skilled and have outstanding military merits can enter the ancestral temple and leave behind equipotent portraits. Therefore, the family is not as completely rejected by women as the families in the Central Plains. From the existing equipotent portraits, it can be seen that there have been a few women who have made outstanding contributions to the family in the family history.

Today is not the day of worship. Dan Tai Guizong summoned his three sons to the ancestral temple, and the three of them were ready.

"Father, we have heard about the eldest sister," the first person who spoke was the eldest son Dan Tai Wengu, with a graceful figure and a lofty face. He stood there. The temperament of the scholar was self-evident. "There must be something strange in this fire in the East Palace!"

"Father, you should write a letter as soon as possible, asking the court to investigate thoroughly, and return the prince and the eldest sister to the eldest sister, and give our Dan Tai family a cleansing!" Compared to the calmness of Dan Tai Wengu, the second son Dan Tai Qiuan seemed a little frigid. His strong and upright physique could not cover up his young and tender face. He also inherited his father's handsomeness and was also a handsome talent, but he spoke with impulsiveness. "Our family has been guarding the border for so many years, and they have worked hard without credit. Your Majesty is so terrible, it is really cold!"

"Shut up!" Dan Tai Guizong scolded with a stern face: "Your Majesty, you can talk about it casually? You know how to show off your courage! Learn from your elder brother, even your third brother is better than you!" Dan Tai Guizong took back his second son's eyes and turned to the third son.

If outsiders judged, no one would think that these three sons would be from the Dan Tai family, and would be the biological son of Dan Tai Guizong. He did not have the handsome face and strong tall figure of the family. His few yellow and dry hair hung barely on his head. His pair of fine needle eyes were weak, and he seemed to be open and closed, and his face turned yellow. He sat upright on a wooden wheelchair, holding the wooden wheels on both sides with his two dead branches.

When he heard his father talking to him, he raised his head and deliberately avoided the dissatisfaction of his brother projecting his dissatisfaction. He thought for a while before he spoke: "The reason why Your Majesty did this must be something, either to calm the matter or to cover up the truth. The crown prince is the foundation of the country. The court deliberately amplified the death of Princess Tang to divert the attention of the fire in the East Palace. My son speculated that it was probably because His Majesty did it intentionally. The reason behind this should be the crown prince."

A few words made Dan Tai Guizong smile, and he praised with great relief: "If Xiru is a rare woman in my Dan Tai family, the sickle is a gift from God, you are really a gift from God!"

That's right, this third son is named Dantai Yantui. As his name is, he looks ugly but has a deep mind. Faced with his father's praise, Yantui has no expression and is calm; Wengu nodded slightly with a smile; Qiuan gritted his teeth with hatred.

"I came to you three brothers today for this important turning point to our family. Xiru became a victim of the struggle. She felt very sad and guilty for her father, and your mother was even more ill! At this critical moment, Liu Yi had already visited."

"Liu Yi?" Dan Tai Qiuan snatched the conversation, "What are he here to do? He is the governor of Jiangzhou and he can't care about our Jinchang City!"

"Liu Yi should be the Lingwang Party. Could it be that Lingwang sent him?" Dan Tai Wengu analyzed tentatively, "But what happened to Lingwang?"

"Father, you were fully supporting the prince. Now you want to turn to the King of Ling?" Everyone present could not tell what the emotions were revealed in Dantai's hazy eyes.

Dan Tai Guizong nodded and said, "That's right, Liu Yi's purpose is this. King Ling wants to get our help in the army to increase his chances of victory in the fight against the throne. King Ling promised that fame, wealth, glory and wealth will be recorded in our family after success."

"It's a good plan! Father, I think I'll just refuse. Among the princes today, King Xiang and King Yu have a better chance of winning. If the pearls are secretly cast, wouldn't our family's century-old foundation be destroyed?"

Dan Tai Guizong tried hard to restrain himself from scolding the second son, but his tone still couldn't hide his disgust. "You, use your brain more often in everything before speaking! Listen to your elder brother and third brother's opinions, don't speak!" Dan Tai Qiuan was still trying to refute, but was grabbed by Dan Tai Wengu.

"Father, King Ling has no power in the army. If you surrender to him, it will indeed increase his chance of winning. However, King Ling is a reckless and mean person. You can see from the last fraud case. My father should think twice." Dan Tai Yaiii clearly expressed his point of view.

But he did not notice that his father obviously did not agree with him. This subtle facial expression did not escape Dan Tai Wengu's eyes. He immediately said: "The third brother said something, but it was also a bit exaggerated. If you want to revitalize the Dan Tai family, you must rely on the power of the royal family. This is the father's usual style. Since the prince has fallen, we must find a new backer as soon as possible. At this time, since King Ling took the initiative to throw out his olive branch, we have no reason to refuse. We can completely support it secretly, and at the same time move closer to the other two princes. Which prince has the most hope to reach the top of power, we can still make a long-term plan!"

"Wengu is a good plan!" Dan Tai Wengu's plan secretly matched Dan Tai Guizong's thoughts, and he finally made up his mind. "Follow Wengu's plan, I will reply to King Ling first. As for the news about other princes, you still need to take good care of planning!"

"Don't worry, my son should do his best!" Dan Tai Wengu said so powerfully, but Dan Tai's sickle-ita drooped his eyes and stopped talking.

"Your Highness" Zhang Huaiyuan waited for a long time on the lakeside, and finally waited for the King of Ling to return from a boat, and immediately stepped forward to ask for instructions respectfully.

"How is the matter done?" The sun was breeze and the sun was sunny. The King of Ling, who had returned from a boating trip to the lake, was in high spirits and did not notice the fatigue on Zhang Huaiyuan's face, who had already been sweating slightly in winter.

"Report to Your Highness, after the envoy of Xia Tang left the capital, the Wei minister had arranged a 'serving' along the way to ensure that they returned to Xia Tang's resentment."

"Okay!" The good news made King Ling feel even better. "Then, is there any news in Jinchang City?"

"Your Highness, this is a letter from Lord Liu." Zhang Huaiyuan carefully pulled out a carefully sealed letter from his arms and handed it to King Ling. King Ling took it and opened it and was even more happy. "Great! The Dan Tai family has expressed their support for this king!"

"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness!" Zhang Huaiyuan must not miss this good opportunity to flatter. "Your Highness seized the opportunity, planned and used this opportunity to gain the power of the Dan Tai family in one fell swoop. Your Highness's power has been greatly enhanced, and it is no less than King Xiang and King Yu!"

"Mr. Zhang is still a little too happy!" King Ling secretly rejoiced that he could keep his clear mind when he was smooth sailing. "Although the Dan Tai family expressed their support, they also said that they were in secret. Even if there was a god killing the cavalry, my king's power was still not as good as my two brothers. What's more, now the father actually lets King Yu come to the court and take over the power!"

"Your Highness, don't worry, in fact, this is a double-edged sword. It can kill the enemy and hurt yourself."

"Oh, what does this mean?"

"On the surface, Your Majesty was asking King Yu to assist in the administration, but in fact Your Majesty should want to observe King Yu's ability to handle political affairs, which gave us an opportunity. King Yu expelled the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and there was no clear statement about Princess Tang. Coupled with the efforts of the ministers, Tang Dynasty would definitely not give up. At that time, the improper handling of the matters between the two countries will cause friction or even wars. How would Your Majesty view King Yu's ability?"

"Yes! Haha, Lord Zhang wakes up the dreamer with one word!" This explanation calmed down the heart of King Ling, who was originally very jealous, and "Lord Zhang is loyal to the emperor and the country, so stay in the mansion today for dinner!"
