Chapter 84: The Death of the Great Prince
After the eldest prince succeeded to the throne, Yuexi City gradually quieted down, but this quiet was not like the previous tranquility, but more like the tranquility before the storm. And the government and the opposition are gradually divided into four factions, and the current imperial power of the eldest prince is like a fictitious one.
At night, Lin Ying came to Lian Yang's mansion and said, "Uncle, what should I do next?" Although Lin Ying is a generation of military gods, he can only gallop on the battlefield, if he encounters these messy things in the government and the opposition, he is also helpless, but Lian Yang is different, he has been convenient for Zhuge Yan to grow up with since he was a child, and he has witnessed how Zhuge Yan competed for the throne, he is obviously more proficient than Lin Ying in these twists and turns in the court and the opposition.
Lian Yang said: "Don't worry, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, don't you understand this truth? Don't look at the calm now, something big will happen in a few days." ”
Lin Ying sighed lowly, of course he knew that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, and he had already smelled the smell of blood that had not yet been born.
Lin Ying said: "In the past few days, I have received a secret report, although there is no movement under the command of the three princes in the imperial city, but the movement outside the imperial city is very large. Men and horses from several places have been mobilized. ”
Lian Yang raised his eyebrows, these were all expected by him, Lin Ying continued: "Also, the people of the Mage Guild seem to have been mobilized, and a large number of mages are moving closer to Yuexi City, not to mention the low-level mages, even the great mages have three coming." ”
Lian Yang Gujing Wubo's expression finally changed, he never thought that even a neutral force like the Mage Guild would be involved in this battle for imperial power, Lian Yang said with an ugly face: "I'm afraid this time it will be a little unbearable, if even the Mage Guild is involved, I'm afraid that the mercenary family will also come to intervene, and maybe there will be people from the ten major families in it." This is no longer just a problem of the Yuexi Kingdom, this time I am afraid it is the problem of the entire human race!"
Lin Ying nodded and said, "We have to send Her Royal Highness the princess to the throne as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid that something will happen on the border." ”
Lian Yang sighed and said, "Wait a little longer, I believe they will be unable to hold their breath soon, and I'm afraid they will have to make a move in the next few days." ”
The two of them were silent, sitting at the table, drinking one cup at the other.
In the palace, Zhuge Mo was holding a beautiful woman in his arms, discussing with his disciples how to deal with the other two princes.
A minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should join forces with the four princes first and kick the three princes out of the game." ”
Zhuge Mo narrowed his eyes and said: "What do you know? The third brother has nothing in his hands, he has no military power, he wants a master without a master, what is he fighting with us? Or solve the fourth problem first is the top priority, the fourth guy, I don't know when he secretly made friends with so many generals, and now I am afraid that there will be hundreds of thousands of troops waiting for me outside the imperial city!"
The proposed minister just wanted to say something, but was pulled down by the person next to him, and everyone said: "What Your Majesty said is extreme, we will do it!"
He looked at the group of waste wood in front of him who only knew how to flatter, and shook his head, he understood that the three princes, who had always been the most low-key, were the most powerful contenders for the throne, although the four princes held a lot of military power, but he did not master the two most important armies, and although the commanders of these two armies did not seem to be mixed with this troubled water, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were supporting the three princes who were not favored by anyone.
He sighed, in fact, he was not optimistic about the eldest prince, but he had a handle that Zhuge Mo held in his hand, so he had to help him, but it was a pity, a dou who couldn't be helped!
At the same time, in a mansion in Yuexi City, the four princes were also discussing countermeasures with their own guests, and after quietly listening to everyone's opinions, the four princes said: "What you mean is that I will join forces with the third brother for the time being to solve Zhuge Mo." ”
All the guests nodded, and one of the disciples said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a little bit of a mouse's eyes, and he will definitely think that the most threatening thing is Your Highness! And you only need to take the opportunity to unite with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, solve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together, and then pull the forces of His Royal Highness the Prince, at this time, it must be difficult for His Royal Highness the Third Prince to compete with Your Royal Highness, and when the time comes, you can use the policy of tenderness, in this case, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince is not worried." ”
The fourth prince was overjoyed and said, "What the gentleman said is extremely true! Send an order to go down and order someone to prepare a gift to go to the third brother." As soon as he finished speaking, the fourth prince felt that this was a little inappropriate, and said: "Forget it, come back, bring your things, and Your Highness will go in person, otherwise there will be no sincerity!"
In the mansion of the third prince, the third prince looked at the fourth prince who was sitting opposite him, and a trace of depth flashed in his eyes, and said, "What is the matter with the fourth brother coming to my mansion?"
The fourth prince smiled: "Dangrang is to relieve the sorrow of the imperial brother!"
The third prince raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, what worries do I have to solve? I'm afraid that the fourth brother himself is worried about his suffering, and he has come to me for help." ”
was told by the third prince, the look in the eyes of the fourth prince sank, but he still said with a smile on his face: "The royal brother is like a god, the eldest brother is already planning to make a move on me, the younger brother, I specially came to cooperate with the third imperial brother, and invited the eldest imperial brother out first, I don't know what the imperial brother thinks?"
The third prince looked at him, silent, picked up the tea cup on the table, and took a sip gently, and the fourth prince also looked at him very patiently, the third prince smiled: "The imperial brother has expressed his sincerity like this, if he doesn't agree, it will be my imperial brother's excess, I don't know what the imperial brother has planned?"
The fourth prince said: "Presumably, the matter of the dispatch of the army under my command will definitely not be hidden from your ears and eyes, and I don't need the imperial brother to do more, just let the old general Liao not prevent the soldiers under my command from entering the city, and when the army arrives, it will definitely make Zhuge Mo fall on the spot!"
The third prince's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile, and said: "Then I, the imperial brother, will do as you say, and I hope that the imperial brother will not live up to the expectations of the imperial brother!"
A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the fourth prince, and he said, "Don't worry! Third Emperor Brother, I will definitely handle this matter for you!"
The eldest prince sat on his bed in the palace, naked, his slightly fat face still had spring light, and the bewitching woman lying on the bed was still holding his arm, muttering something in her mouth. Zhuge Mo took the envelope handed over by the guard, opened it unhappily and looked at it, after seeing the contents of the envelope, he shook his head disdainfully, and said: "Even if those two wastes join forces, the third child is just a useless ornament, just do what you want, don't bother me if it's okay! Get out!"
The guards were so frightened that they hurriedly picked up the raft and ran out with a roll.
Outside the dormitory, Zhuge Mo's henchmen were anxiously discussing countermeasures, and at this moment, hundreds of thousands of troops under the command of the four princes had surrounded the imperial city, and the minister who proposed to deal with the three princes first said angrily: "Such a faint monarch! If the Yuexi Kingdom is really handed over to him, I am afraid that it will not be far from the death of the country!"
Although the other ministers were shocked by what he said, they were also silent at the moment, they knew that everything that happened at this moment was caused by Zhuge Mo's self-righteousness and inaction. They were also extremely frightened at the moment, they knew that if the Great Prince's side was defeated, they would probably be in a catastrophe, looking at Wen Xuan with an indifferent face, and asked, "What is the best way for Lord Wen?"
Wen Xuan said indifferently: "If this faint monarch had listened to me before, the current situation would only be reversed." Now, I'm afraid it's time to return to the sky!" As soon as his voice fell, outside the city wall, a burst of drums sounded, and everyone was shocked, and Wen Xuan said indifferently: "The time has come, and it's time for this throne to change hands!"
Outside the tall walls of Yuexi City, the four princes took the lead, holding on to their long swords and shouting, "Kill me!"
Zhuge Mo's henchmen had never seen such a scene, and they were immediately frightened and at a loss, hoping that the tall walls of Yuexi City would be able to resist their attack. And in the next moment, all hope was in vain, and the heavy city gates slowly opened, and hundreds of thousands of troops swarmed in.
Zhuge Mo looked at the soldier who had taken him off the bed in horror and shouted, "You are so bold! I want to punish you nine clans!"
The soldier looked at him and smiled mockingly: "Your Royal Highness, you are now a dead man!"
Zhuge Mo understood the seriousness of the situation, struggling to break free from the shackles of the soldiers, and the spiritual power in his body surged out, but the consequence of his neglect of cultivation on weekdays was that his cultivation was just a breakthrough to the king of war, the soldier snorted coldly, and the strength of the emperor of war was released without reservation, and one hand grabbed Zhuge Mo's fat hands, and then the spiritual power penetrated into his body mercilessly, shattering his dantian.
Zhuge Mo spat out a mouthful of blood, his face was like ashes, the fourth prince walked in front of him, squatted down, and said, "Big brother, when did you become so embarrassed?"
Zhuge Mo said in fear: "Fourth brother, let me go! I promise that I will be honest in the future! I will be my prince in peace and stability for the rest of my life!"
The fourth prince glanced at him mockingly, and said, "Big brother, under the imperial power, there is no family affection at all, you can rest in peace." As he spoke, the long sword in his hand slashed down without the slightest emotion, Zhuge Mo snorted, and he lost his breath anymore.
Above the main hall, only the four princes were pacing slowly in it, and at this time, a soldier with a blood-stained battle armor ran in and said, "Your Highness, the party of the eldest prince has been cleaned up." ”
The fourth prince slowly raised his head, and after a deathly silence, he looked up like crazy and laughed, so frightened that the soldier took a few steps back one after another, and finally stopped, the fourth prince looked at him and said, "Remember, call me Your Majesty in the future!"
The soldier shuddered, quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully, and saluted: "See Your Majesty!"
