Chapter Seventy-Four: Ambitious
Xiao Yuan's family has the escort of the eldest prince every day, and his life is full and beautiful. She will not annoy people because of the love of the eldest prince. Low-key talent is the foundation of life-saving, only the peace of mind of the child, in order to get the blue eyes of the prince, win more favor and long-term companionship of the prince, and can hold more chips to compete for the life they want.
The Yuan family saw that the little Yuan family was still honest and responsible, and rested on the mind of punishing the big precept, while keeping more of the eldest prince's attention, and on the other hand, asking Mama Zhou to closely monitor the movements of the aunts in the backyard.
Ouyang Yun was reminded by her grandmother, she did not participate in her aunt's actions, she recuperated her body wholeheartedly, waited for the eldest prince to stay overnight, remembered her hope in her stomach, and was in no mood to care about Xiao Yuan's affairs, anyway, as long as she watched the show.
The matter in the palace of the eldest prince is just a small episode, and the birth of the child will be scheduled for at least six months later, and there will be a long period of peace in the palace during this time.
After the eldest prince and the second prince were grounded for a month, the emperor finally lifted the ban on the two, and people could move around freely, but the power in their hands was no longer given.
On the second day of lifting the ban, Mu Rong took advantage of the hazy night to take only one henchman to Chenfu alone.
Chen Yanzhi, who had already rested, was suddenly aroused by the personal servant, saying that the second prince had entered the mansion.
Chen Yanzhi was shocked at the moment, and secretly said why the second prince arrived at the house so late, while hurriedly dressing up, and instructed his henchmen to guard the door of the study and not let anyone approach.
As soon as Chen Yan entered the study, he saw the second prince Mu Rong sitting on the chair with a stern face, and he was puzzled in his heart, and opened his mouth to ask: "What is the matter with Your Highness coming so late?" ”
Mu Rong watched Chen's performance for a long time before he spoke, and seemed to have made a great determination: "I can't wait, I have to break the deadlock around the Spring Festival." ”
One of the Chen actors listened to the numb scalp, and Mu Rong's words were vague. I really heard it clearly, Mu Rong was going to do an amazing thing.
"You're crazy!" Chen Yanzhi was shocked into a cold sweat, and he couldn't care about the identity of the person in front of him.
"I'm not crazy, I'm forced to be crazy." Mu Rong remembered the pain when he was mentally tortured before. A pair of eyes instantly revealed a grim light.
"You're plotting rebellion." Chen Yanzhi's voice is very low, so he is afraid of being heard, this is not a joke, a bad end with no bones is in front of him.
"What kind of rebellion, I just want my father to abdicate, he still enjoys the honor of being the emperor as his emperor, and I sit in that position to command the world, why not." Mu Rong's eyes burst out with madness that made people dare not look at it directly.
"Once discovered, no one in the Nine Clans will be spared." Chen Yanzhi's face instantly flushed, and he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened.
"If you don't do it, you and I will be finished, and we will make a comeback in the future." Mu Rong refused to act because he was bound by fear, and he had no way out. The Chen family and himself are people in the same boat, and it is not so easy to leave themselves alone to survive.
"Are you serious?" How could Chen Yanzhi not hear the threat in the words of the second prince.
"Seriousness like never before." Mu Rong's eyes were extremely firm, "I have lost the attention of my father, what can I do to redeem this." It's nothing more than fighting with the boss again, and I don't need to say the outcome after that. ”
It's a lose-lose situation! Chen Yanzhi didn't understand it in his heart, but he would rather take it step by step without thinking about taking the road of rebellion. The consequences are not something he can control, and he doesn't dare to gamble with the lives of hundreds of people up and down the Chen family.
"There is no possibility of you or I going back." Mu Rong's eyes grew cold, and he didn't give Chen Yanzhi any chance to regret it, "It's not so easy to win the emperor's heart again, my father is already very disappointed in me." I don't have that much time to waste, and it would be nice if I hadn't poisoned before, but unfortunately it was completely unexpected, and everything was out of control. Once my father notices it, no, it's not. Maybe he has already noticed it, so he will order an investigation of the people in the palace, and those palace people who are eliminated, do you think it is really a rumor from those palace people, or a rumor deliberately released by the emperor. Just waiting for someone to lose their breath and show the fox's tail. ”
Mu Rong's words were like a heavy hammer smashing down, and Chen Yanzhi's heart suddenly tightened as if he was about to jump out, and cold sweat broke out all over his body, soaking a large part of his clothes.
"Are you afraid?" Mu Rong had the kung fu to appreciate Chen's changing face at the moment, "Not only are you afraid, but I am also afraid, what's the use of being terrible, the power of life and death is not in the hands of his father, who he wants to die, who dares not to die." ”
Yes, the monarch and the minister had to die, Chen Yan remembered this sentence when he was playing, and his heart trembled, Mu Rong's words were not alarmist, he was doubting the emperor's will before, if it was true......
Mu Rong didn't really have evidence to prove that the previous incident was a trick of his father, he just wanted to use this incident to bluff Chen Yanzhi, so that he would be willing to contribute to himself, anyway, if it wasn't for Chen Yanzhi's beginning, he would not have become the dilemma he is in now.
"We don't have a lot of manpower available." Even if Chen Yanzhi believed that what Mu Rong said was true, he was still unwilling to pay the entire Chen family for things that did not have much success.
"Enough, too many people will arouse suspicion from others." Mu Rong calculated it early in the morning, and said in his heart that he was a good old fox who thought about himself everywhere, why didn't he want to think about how the Chen family would be in today's status without him, the second prince, when the real person was not enough, if he didn't urgently need the help of the Chen family now, how could he swallow his anger here.
Chen Yanzhi also wanted to say something, intending to persuade the second prince not to be so impulsive, and there was still room for maneuver.
Mu Rong saw Chen's indecisive move, and threatened coldly: "Don't forget that we are grasshoppers on a rope, if something happens to me, the Chen family will be the first to get out of it." ”
"This ......" Chen Yanzhi didn't expect Mu Rong to be so extreme, and he didn't hesitate to tear his face with his grandfather.
"Then in your opinion, how to force the palace, how to persuade the emperor to abdicate and make way for Xian?" Chen Yanzhi wants to see how the second prince plans, and he wants to force the palace to seize the throne without a careful plan, and it is still light to say a whimsical.
"We've been in business for so many years, and all we can get out of our hands is soldiers." Although it is not a military power, it is better than nothing, Mu Rong said confidently: "As long as there is something right and wrong at the border pass, my father is afraid that the border pass will be lost, so he will divert his attention, and the palace garrison will not also install our people, as long as the entire gate of Shangjing is tightened." Even if my father finds something abnormal and wants to transfer troops to come, it will take some effort, maybe by that time the entire palace has been controlled in our hands, and with my father as a hostage, who dares to touch me, when the time comes, I just need to persuade my father to write an edict of abdication. It's a foregone conclusion. ”
Mu Rong's words sounded good, Chen Yanzhi had to laugh at the second prince in his heart for taking it for granted, the Jingzhong garrison has its own people, but the Jingzhong garrison is not alone, and the others don't know which side they are on, one can't get it right, not to mention who will catch the turtle in the urn.
If there is a stirring up of chaos at the border gates, the idea is good, but how to find an excuse, and now the border passes are under martial law. Foreigners often invade the border, in case things go in the worst direction, and they are far away in Shangjing and it is difficult to control, the final result will be the loss of the border pass, and once the border pass is lost, the foreigners will take the opportunity to invade in a big way. Even if the second prince can be on the throne, who can listen to your orders if the military power is not in your hands, and isn't the second prince the culprit who caused the loss of the border pass, so it is strange that the throne can be stable.
This pile needs to be carefully pondered and constantly scrutinized all kinds of possible consequences, don't be the emperor when the emperor is indeed a dead king, that is a big joke in the world, if you want to go down in history and do your dream of tomorrow.
Throughout the ages, there have been rebellions. There are not a few, and a few can make things happen, and what kind of fate is it in the end, I really don't remember being dazzled by the desire for profit.
The reason why Chen Yanzhi strongly opposed the second prince doing this was because of his concerns, and he could go alone, the key was to drag everyone in the entire family to die together. The wealth accumulated over the years has become a joke and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mu Rong waited for a long time and made up his mind after not seeing Chen Yan, the cold light in his eyes flashed, and the coldness on his face was especially obvious.
Chen Yanzhi then saw that the second prince's face had changed, and secretly said that it was not good, and said comfortingly: "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run." "Stabilize the second prince first and then make plans.
As soon as Mu Rong heard it, he knew that Chenzhi was perfunctory. In an instant, the tea cup on the table was knocked down, and a crisp sound sounded in the silent night, and the sound was particularly harsh, leaving a fragment of the ground.
Chen Yanzhi was stunned by Mu Rong's sudden move, his heart fluttered, and he looked at the angry second prince with hesitation.
"Those who have become great things since ancient times are not informal." Mu Rong said in a deep voice: "You don't really think that if I can't afford this thought, the boss can really keep to himself?" ”
"Say no, he thinks of it in his heart." Mu Rong is not talking nonsense, Mu Zhao can also think of things he can think of, but now it depends on who starts first.
"As the saying goes, the first strike is the strongest, and the second strike suffers." Mu Rong raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Chen Yanzhi, who was frowning and silent, with deep meaning.
Seeing this, Chen Yanzhi sighed in his heart, it seems that the second prince is determined to do this, and his uneasy heart is particularly uneasy, but it is not good to refute it again.
"It's done, the Chen family is the hero of Conglong, and glory and wealth are not a problem." Mu Rong saw that Chen Yanzhi was still hesitating, and he was extremely unhappy in his heart, but he suppressed it and didn't show half a point.
Mu Rong increased the bargaining chips and said: "The daughter of the Chen family will sit on the throne of the queen, and the Chen family has the merit of support, and in the future, my grandfather will be a member of the first rank of the dynasty, holding authority, one person under ten thousand people." ”
The future depicted by Mu Rong was too good, and Chen Yanzhi was shaken for a moment after hearing it, and he heard his ambition shouting, and it was only a thought to agree or not to agree.
"How?" Mu Rong could see that Chenyan's heart was moved, and the light that appeared in his eyes was enough to explain even if it was only for a moment.
Chen Yanzhi clenched his left hand into a fist and knocked it on the palm of his right hand, and his eyes narrowed and spit out a good word, which man has no ambition in his heart, although sometimes it is unrealistic, but it can't stop these thoughts from flowing in his mind.
The founding hero of the country under one person and above 10,000 people, what an honor it will be, it is even more coveted than the title of marquis and prime minister.
Moreover, this matter is not uncertain, as long as it is planned properly, there are at least five levels of opportunities, which seems to be not much to achieve, but it is not easy.
Mu Rong looked at Chen Yanzhi who was looking at Xingda, and his heart was cold, Chen Yanzhi's ambition was not under him, and he was scheming, although he couldn't talk about conspiring with the tiger, but he couldn't help but take precautions, it seemed that he still underestimated his grandfather, fortunately, there was a grandfather and grandson between the two, otherwise it was really difficult to say who the person who sat on the dragon chair in the end.
Chen Yanzhi didn't notice the instantaneous change in Mu Rong's eyes, a person is quiet in a bright future, just think about it and wake up with a smile just by dreaming, Chen's family is prosperous, and it will start from now on, I really look forward to it.
"We need a detailed plan." Mu Rong pulled back the Chen Yanzhi who was imagining in his imagination, now is not the time to talk about the future.
"Yes, it needs to be planned in detail, and every step has to be a little cautious." Chen Yanzhi restored the shrewdness of the past, and thought about the details of the plan with a stern face.
"The big frame is what I said earlier." Mu Rong is very confident, the previous ones were not his own whims, but after a few nights of careful consideration.
"There is no problem with the general direction, and the details need to be improved." Chen Yanzhi rubbed his beard and pondered.
"When's the time?" Chen Yanzhi suddenly asked this question.
"I think the sooner the better, to take them by surprise when they are not prepared." In that case, the odds of winning will be greater, and Mu Rong is already impatient.
"No, it's too time-sensitive." Chen Yanzhi disagreed: "Being in a hurry with the time will not be beneficial to our arrangement. ”
"Then act after the Spring Festival, and it is best that all the officials can gather in one place, so that it is convenient for us to control it." Mu Rong thought of controlling the big and small officials in the court, and they didn't dare to resist in order to save their lives.
"The deer feast after the spring is just right." In previous years, it was held in the palace, in order to reward the top three students on the list, Chen Yanzhi felt that there was something to be done here.
"The biggest problem is the forbidden army around my father." The forbidden army has always been heavily guarded, and it is not easy to do tricks, so far Mu Rong has not been able to insert people into it, let alone break into the interior.
The forbidden army is the emperor's pro-army, and it is the emperor's most trusted subordinate, and if you want to occupy the palace, it is inevitable to confront the forbidden army that protects the palace, not to mention the increased difficulty, and the consequences are even more incalculable.
Mu Rong really had a headache how to deal with these people, the manpower on hand was not enough to clash with the forbidden army, mainly because of the care of the officials and concubines of the harem, just to prevent someone from reporting his good deeds.
