Chapter 899: Fat Sheep
Xu Ge looked at the second prince like a fool, he said so much before, was it all in vain? If you have a little scheming, you won't be unable to think of it!
"Even if there is no Your Majesty, there is a crown prince here, occupying the eldest son, do you think you can sit on the throne smoothly?" Xu Ge Lao asked rhetorically, although he has the main force, he does not have much military power in his hands, only the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. www.biquge.info If the strength of the Liang Wangfu was still there, he might not have to be so cautious.
But now that he has lost the strength of the Liang Palace, he must think long-term.
"But we have so many courtiers, all of them support me, even if there is a prince, they are not our opponents!" The second prince said confidently that his prince brother was mediocre in intelligence and was not highly rated among the courtiers. On the other hand, he is better than the crown prince in everything, there is no reason for the courtiers to support the prince and not support him?
Hearing this, Elder Xu Ge shook his head and said: "This is a bad word, although most of the courtiers in the court support us, but if we don't have the backing of the troops, we won't be easy to do." ”
His Majesty died for no reason, and then King Guangling and King Liang would not agree to the succession of the second prince. Your Majesty has no edict, the prince is the eldest son and the son-in-law, and the throne is the prince's. Compared with the poor relationship with the Xu family, the two kings with different surnames would rather support the crown prince than the second prince.
Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work out for three years. Although Xu Ge Lao had long understood these things and made a lot of preparations for them, in the end, he fell short and did not control the forces of the Liang Wangfu.
The second prince faintly understood, and said: "Now that the strength of the Liang Wangfu no longer belongs to us, if you act in a hurry, it is indeed very difficult. What does my grandfather mean that it will be much easier for us to do things again if we let my father punish the prince first and remove the obstacle of the prince? ”
Xu Ge Lao nodded and said, "That's the case." The prince is very mediocre, but after all, he has been the prince for so many years, has his own forces and henchmen, and occupies the eldest son. If we go against the crown prince, we will lose both sides and cheapen the other princes. In this case, we will lure the prince out this time, let him face His Majesty, and borrow His Majesty's hand to clean up the prince. When the crown prince falls, you are the second son, and you have been in business for so many years, our opportunity will come. ”
"Bang Bang!" The second prince applauded, "Grandfather, this plan is good." Whatever you need, just say, I'll do my best to cooperate with you. ”
"The old minister has something to do, do these things, His Royal Highness can't show up, just let the old minister come forward." Xu Ge said, "It's just that this is a huge plan, and the old minister doesn't have so much silver to support it." ”
The second prince was stunned, his grandfather had never asked him for money. However, thinking that Princess Liang's aunt was gone, and it was normal for the Xu family to have no silver, he nodded and said, "Grandfather, don't worry, you have to work hard for my affairs, and I will deal with this silver matter." I just don't know how much does my grandfather need now? ”
Xu Ge was very satisfied, as long as he had a large amount of silver, his plan could be perfectly executed.
"500,000 taels of silver." Xu Ge Lao Dao, in fact, only needs 300,000, but he also knows the current situation of the Xu family, and he can't blindly pay and not let the second prince return.
If it was before, if the second prince was asked to take out 500,000 taels of silver at once, it might make the second prince very difficult, but now it will not be, because a fat sheep has taken refuge in him.
"500,000 taels of silver, I'll raise it, my grandfather doesn't have to worry about the silver, take care of your body, it's the top priority." The second prince said, "I'll leave the matter to my grandfather." ”
Xu Ge Lao didn't expect that the Second Prince's Mansion was so rich, 500,000 taels, and he took it out without blinking his eyes. Thinking of the house, he kept asking for silver flowers from his two daughters, and Xu Ge felt uncomfortable. In the future, I will never use my own silver, and let the second prince come out.
"Your Highness." Xu Ge said, "It's not early, it's time for the old minister to go back." Because it is private, Your Highness should not make a statement to anyone, everything is as usual. ”
"Grandfather walks slowly." The second prince said, watching Xu Ge Lao disappear into the dim hall.
Because of the arrival of Elder Xu Ge, the second prince untied his heart knot, became a little more confident in the future, and thought more comprehensively.
The next day, the second prince sent someone to find someone who could give out the money, and made an appointment to meet someone in an ordinary teahouse in the city.
The person the second prince asked was Xiao Kun, and he didn't know what the second prince asked him to do here. However, being able to get the second prince to meet privately proves that the second prince has also begun to reuse him. This period of time has not been in vain.
Xiao Kun, choosing an ally or a person to take refuge in, only looks at two conditions.
First, there must be a strong enough force to have a high chance of success; Second, it must be on the opposite side of the Guangling Palace.
Of these two princes, Xu Ge is the most suitable.
Now that Xiao Kun has made a marriage with the concubine of the Xu family's big house, now he has to go all out to assist the second prince to ascend the throne. In this way, the Guangling Mansion and the Liang Palace, which were the opposites of the two princes, would become the targets of attack after the second prince ascended the throne.
The reason why Xiao Kun thinks so much is mostly summarized from the ancient TV series in his previous life and rare historical facts.
In ancient times, the emperor could decide the life and death of anyone.
Those kings with different surnames were thorns in the emperor's eyes, so he firmly believed that this direction was correct.
However, Xiao Kun understands one and does not understand the other.
The system of kings with different surnames in the Great Jin Dynasty was not the same as he thought, greatly underestimating the power of kings with different surnames and overestimating the strength of the second prince.
The current Xiao Kun not only has the two enemies of Du Jiu and Du Dashan, but also the elusive Liu Min. None of this is easy to mess with, and I don't know how they will retaliate against him.
Xiao Kun was weak-hearted, and he lived in a panic, hoping that the second prince could succeed as soon as possible, and solve Du Jiumei, Du Dashan, Liu Min, as well as Guangling Wangfu and Liang Wangfu as soon as possible, and he could also sleep peacefully.
After waiting for about half an hour, the second prince finally came.
"See Your Highness." Xiao Kun saluted, very respectful, and did not dare to despise it at all.
The second prince enjoyed the respect of the children of the clan for him, and said very kindly: "Get up, there are no outsiders here, we are all brothers, there is no need to be so polite." ”
The higher-ups, so to speak, but the people below can't do this, this is the least common sense.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Xiao Kun said gratefully, as if he admired the second prince very much, and looked at the second prince.
"Go down, all of you." The second prince was very satisfied, "Come on, come on, you and my brother, it's rare to meet, sit down!" ”
The guards and subordinates around him went out, and only Xiao Kun and the second prince were left in the house. (To be continued.) )
