Chapter XXXVI
Li Ziang smiled lightly: "As the eldest prince said, I have no military power, just a nominal general, what is the benefit of your alliance with me, and what is the benefit to me?"
"You and I are in the alliance, I will help you get the military power, you will help me get the throne, if the great thing is done, I will promise you a lifetime of glory. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Xiahou Xiu said proudly.
"Hehe, I am glorious, haven't you heard that the prince is rich and noble, and I Li Ziang has always been unbelieving in what the emperor promised. Li Ziang shook his head.
"You don't believe me?"
"The eldest prince should always show sincerity, this is not a good thing but it is going to lose his head, if I want to believe you, you want me to die for you with a light promise? Besides, you are the eldest prince, no matter how you say it, you are the son of the saint, but I am different, and I have no background. Alas~ I still feel at ease to be my nominal general, and it's also comfortable. Li Ziang said with a little loss.
"Hehe, Brother Li, your city is really unfathomable. Xiahou Xiu's eyes flashed with a hint of inquiry.
"Could it be that the great prince likes to look at people and look at the surface? In this imperial city that eats people and does not spit out bones, which one is so simple. Li Ziang looked him in the eye and said: "The eldest prince, we have known each other for a short time, if you say trust, I don't believe it myself." ”
"Hehe, okay, you help me get the throne, you are the only general of our country, holding half of the military power, and you are rich and noble for generations, how about it?"
"You're already the eldest prince, and you're still afraid that you won't get the throne?" asked Shen Tulang hypocritically.
"Brother Shentu doesn't know, my father has a total of three sons and two daughters, the second brother has no intention of traveling all these years, the third sister is married, the fourth sister is still young, but the fifth brother is the child of Concubine Hui, my father's favor for him has far exceeded ours, my father's body is still strong, do you think the fifth brother will not threaten my status?"
Shen Tulang nodded and said, "So you want to get rid of the five princes? There is also a prime minister behind the five princes, how can this be so simple." And we're just new to it. ”
"Brother Shentu's words are wrong, because you are new to the country and have no military power, so they don't care about you, and my father won't think that you are a threat to him, and this is also your biggest advantage. ”
"So, are you trying to force the palace?" Li Ziang sneered. This Xiahou Xiu can even do it to his own father, can he still believe in him. Scold!
Xiahou Xiu narrowed his fox-like eyes and sneered: "Brother Li, don't say it so ugly, now that you know about this matter, do you say that our alliance will be concluded or not?"
Li Ziang also sneered: "It seems that this has to be knotted, if we don't tie the knot, I guess the two of us know such a big secret, and the eldest prince will not let us have the life to go back." ”
Shen Tulang slapped the table and stood up and said angrily: "What do you mean by this!"
"Brother Shentu, don't be so angry, if you can't buy and sell, you can't do it today, we're still friends. Xiahou Xiu turned his head to Li Ziang and said, "Brother Li, you are a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”
Li Ziang gently dragged Shen Tulang, and Shen Tulang sat down with a cold face. Li Ziang's mind turned quickly, if he didn't form an alliance now, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stay in this imperial city, although this Xiahou Xiu was not favored, but his power in the imperial city should not be underestimated, if he formed an alliance... So... It's not a good deal, but it's definitely not going to be lost.
"What do you need me to do?" Li Ziang said lightly.
Xiahou Xiu's eyes lit up: "Military power." These two words are particularly sensitive in the ears of my father, so he didn't give you the soldiers of the imperial city, but your soldiers in Xiliang, this king believes that they are your own soldiers. ”
Li Ziang said with interest: "Oh, the eldest prince is so sure?"
Xiahou Xiu smiled proudly: "If this king doesn't even know this, how can he find you." ”
"It seems that the eldest prince has premeditated. ”
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your opponent, and be prepared. ”
Li Ziang chuckled and said, "In this way, I will give you a big gift, which will be regarded as a congratulatory gift for the alliance between you and me." ”
"Oh?" Xiahou Xiu said with interest.
"The fifth prince is not the child of Concubine Hui and the Holy Lord. ”
"What? is this true?!" Xiahou Xiu said with a wide glare.
"Naturally. ”
"How is this possible?!" Xiahou Xiu asked in disbelief.
"Concubine Hui was diagnosed and treated after giving birth to a child, and said that she injured her mother, and there is no possibility of pregnancy?" Li Ziang said.
"Yes, the imperial doctor said that if she loses both qi and blood, there will be no possibility of pregnancy in the future, so her father has good love for her. Xiahou Xiu pondered.
"What the imperial doctor said is right, Concubine Hui Niangniang is indeed a loss of qi and blood, and there is no possibility of pregnancy, it is precisely because of her loss of qi and blood that the child is born stillborn, and Concubine Hui brought back a newborn child from the outside, which is now the fifth prince. ”
"How did you know?" Xiahou Xiu didn't believe Li Ziang, but if this thing was true, it would be a great thing for him.
"Hehe, does the eldest prince know?" Li Ziang smiled lightly.
This self-knowing, although he knows the affairs of the world, but his whereabouts are uncertain, and he has not shown his true face, and there is no trace of him. Could it be you..."Xiahou Xiu looked straight at Li Ziang.
"By chance, we just became friends. Li Ziang said that the clouds were light and the wind was light. Xiahou Xiu's eyebrows jumped, this opportunity is really too big, if there is any more, isn't his throne within reach.
"Brother Li is really full of surprises. If the fifth brother is really not the child of the father, then the Prime Minister's Mansion and Concubine Hui will be finished. Xiahou Xiu looked at him with shiny eyes.
"This alone is not enough to make him die completely, I have no power in the imperial city, and this matter of adding a few more sins, I still have to suffer from the eldest prince. ”
"I don't dare to say this, although Sima Rui has been cautious everywhere over the years, but there will always be mistakes, there are many sins in his hands, but they are all minor crimes, if you add that one, these crimes will be punished together, but there will be a look. Xiahou Xiu's face turned red with excitement, he seemed to have seen the fate of Concubine Hui and Sima Rui.
Xiahou Xiu's mother is the queen, but unfortunately she is not favored when she is old, Concubine Hui is favored by herself, and she is even more arrogant on weekdays, and there is no one in her eyes. is also sneering at the queen on weekdays, and Emperor Wei doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, which makes Concubine Hui even more arrogant. The queen was so angry with her that she often secretly cried alone, and every time she saw this, Xiahou Xiu hated that woman very much.
Because Emperor Wei's original intention was not to establish a prince, so Xiahou Xiu became the prince when he grew up, and after the last dynasty participated in politics, Sima Rui also made things difficult for him everywhere, who let his own grandson also be the heir to the throne.
But now, everything is different, and the good days of the Prime Minister's Mansion are over.
Xiahou Xiu was happy and said to Li Ziang: "This is really a great gift, in this way, I can't treat you lightly, this is the token of my mansion, you can enter and leave freely, and you can also mobilize my Praetorian Guard, Brother Li, how about this return gift." ”
Li Ziang looked at the weighty token in his hand and said with a smile: "Very good." ”
"This is not an ordinary token, it can also mobilize people and things in the Ministry of Works. Xiahou Xiu said proudly.
"Ministry of Industry?" Li Ziang asked suspiciously.
"Exactly, Ge Fuke, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, is the person of this king. ”
Li Ziang Mo rubbed the token in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Ge Fu..."
