Chapter 258: Brothers (4)

Chen Yuanzhao's astonishing life history secret was told lightly by King Wei.

Fortunately, only the two of them were present, otherwise, I don't know how much turmoil these few words would have caused.

Chen Yuanzhao's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "The secret of my life experience cannot be seen, and only His Royal Highness King Wei knows it." I use this secret to surrender to Your Highness, also to show my sincerity. His Royal Highness knows it, and there is no need to complain. All I want is justice, and I have no ambition for the throne. Your Highness can rest assured, and you don't need to be wary of me. ”

These words are not polite, and even a little mean.

King Wei not only didn't get angry, but laughed: "It's me who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." That's it, since you don't like people to say, I won't mention it in the future. ”

After a pause, he said, "I secretly called you over today just to discuss countermeasures. It is by no means accidental that such a thing happened in Shandong. There must be someone behind the scenes, and the real purpose is probably to lure the eldest brother out of the capital. ”

The crown prince is mediocre, but he is so happy, and he is even more unwilling to be compared to the king of Qin, and when he encounters such an opportunity, he will definitely go all out. As everyone knows, this has fallen into the trap of others.

The crown prince is the safest in the capital, and once he leaves the capital, those who have ulterior motives will never let go of such a good opportunity. Maybe he will take a risk and secretly do something to the prince.

No matter how stable the position of the prince is, he must have a life to do it to the end.

The King of Wei talked eloquently and hit the nail on the head to break through the plan of the King of Qin. The King of Wei at this moment is shrewd and deep. Where is there still a little bit of cowardice and uselessness on weekdays.

Chen Yuanzhao listened to King Wei's analysis of this matter, his face was silent, but his heart swelled with complicated and indescribable emotions.

Who knows. The obscure King of Wei is such a powerful figure?

In the previous life, the crown prince died at the hands of King Qin, and the proud King of Qin did not have a long time, and was pulled off the horse by King Wei in just two years. If the young King of Chu had not taken advantage of the queen's concubine, if he had not helped him with all his might, he might not have been the opponent of King Wei

Chen Yuanzhao knew very well that King Wei was suspicious and shrewd, and he surrendered for no reason, and King Wei would never trust him. deliberately told the truth about his true life experience. This won the trust of King Wei.

"Your Highness's analysis is very reasonable." Chen Yuanzhao slowly opened his mouth and said, "Since His Royal Highness has seen King Qin's conspiracy, I don't know if he plans to remind the crown prince?" ”

Of course, he won't remind the prince, it's best to sit back and watch the prince and the king of Qin fight.

Sandpiper and clam compete with each other to make a profit!

King Wei's eyes flashed: "Big brother seems to have soft ears." In fact, it is self-righteous and self-righteous. Even if I did, he wouldn't take it to heart. Why should I bother! ”

King Wei's reaction was completely expected by Chen Yuanzhao: "Then what does His Highness plan to do?" ”

King Wei looked at Chen Yuanzhao and said in an indifferent tone: "I don't plan to do anything." This is a matter between the eldest brother and the third brother. It has nothing to do with me. ”

At most, it is to secretly collect evidence of King Qin's actions. Then he was sent to his father.

Chen Yuanzhao said: "Your Highness needs me to do something, just give orders, I will do my best, and I will never let His Highness down." ”

King Wei laughed: "Such a trivial matter, you don't need to make a move." I still have some people in my hands, just let them keep an eye on King Qin. What you have to do is to ask the emperor to recruit more soldiers for the Divine Guard. Turn 30,000 Divine Guards into 50,000. The more troops you have, the more useful you will be in the future. ”

Chen Yuanzhao did not respond in one bite. frowned and said: "There are many soldiers and generals, it is better to have good soldiers." What's more, the total number of soldiers in each barracks is limited. The Divine Guard has always been 30,000 soldiers, and if I rashly propose to recruit 20,000 more soldiers, the emperor will probably not agree. ”

King Wei smiled faintly: "Don't worry, you don't need to take the initiative to bring this matter up." I have someone in the military department, and when the time comes, I will apply for an increase in the strength of the Divine Guard. You just need to push the boat down the river when your father asks. ”

Other military camps want to increase their troops, but the emperor may not be willing. However, the Divine Guard Army led by Chen Yuanzhao was different.

The emperor can't recognize his bloodline openly, and he has always felt guilty about Chen Yuanzhao in his heart. For this delicate reason, the possibility of the emperor's consent will be greatly increased.

Chen Yuanzhao nodded a little reluctantly

After discussing in secret for an hour or so, Chen Yuanzhao came out of the study.

King Wei was inconvenient to walk and did not come out to see him off.

Chen Yuanzhao's figure quickly disappeared into the dark night.

King Wei stood at the door of the study, watching Chen Yuanzhao's figure walk away, the smile on the corner of his lips gradually disappeared, but the light in his eyes became more and more prosperous.

There is the blood of the royal family in his body, and the desire for the throne and power is almost innate. There are no siblings in the heavenly family, and the family affection is weak. In order to ascend to the throne, father and son have fought against each other in all dynasties.

When Chen Yuanzhao secretly surrendered to him with his life experience, he was both shocked and wary. On the one hand, I am happy to have a big help, and on the other hand, I am wary of Chen Yuanzhao everywhere.

In the past six months or so, King Wei's wariness of Chen Yuanzhao has been slightly reduced, but the real hole cards in his hand have not been known to Chen Yuanzhao

Of course, King Wei could never have imagined that Chen Yuanzhao knew everything about him.

In his previous life, Chen Yuanzhao assisted the King of Chu to deal with the King of Wei, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the King of Wei died in the hands of Chen Yuanzhao.

King Wei not only wanted to use Chen Yuanzhao, but also beware of everything. As everyone knows, Chen Yuanzhao never trusted him from beginning to end

At the next day's court meeting, the emperor ordered someone to read out the recital of the people's joint letter. The civilian, military, and military officials were shocked and in an uproar.

The household officials, headed by the King of Qin, knelt down together to plead guilty.

In particular, King Qin, with a look of remorse and self-blame, shouted that he would make meritorious service and go to Shandong for disaster relief to clean up the mess.

Not to be outdone, the prince immediately took the initiative to invite Ying to Shandong. All the officials who supported the prince spoke out to help the prince, and in comparison, the voices of King Qin's faction were all suppressed.

King Wei, who rarely goes to the court, also showed up today, and rarely took the initiative to open his mouth: "Erchen thinks that when he goes to Shandong, he should be headed by the eldest brother." The third brother is familiar with household affairs and can accompany the eldest brother to Shandong. ”

These words are very much in line with the emperor's wishes.

The emperor looked at the King of Wei approvingly, and then issued a decree.

The matter is urgent and should not be delayed. Three days later, the crown prince and the king of Wei set off together to inspect Shandong for disaster relief. The emperor also ordered the guards to command the infantry army, so that Murong Hui led a thousand guards to accompany him to protect the crown prince and the king of Wei.

As for the relevant officials involved in this matter in the household department, they all took off their black yarn hats first, and then dealt with them after the investigation was clear
