Taiyuan Mansion, the nine provinces of the inspection point Prince Teng is stationed here.

The civil and military forces in Daxuan are basically the highest ranks, such as governor, jiedu envoy, and general soldier of Zhenguan.

Special official positions like Wang Ziteng, which are more than the second grade, usually bear the name of Qincha.

Originally, Wang Ziteng's duty was to inspect and control hundreds of thousands of troops in the nine northern provinces, including the northwest border army......

With such great power, it is impossible to be a standing military attaché, but only a messenger.

The power of the Qincha can be taken back by the emperor at any time.

Wang Ziteng has been in Taiyuan Mansion for several months.

This was an order of the emperor, and he could only obey it.

He naturally didn't know Emperor Jingtai's full intention at first, but with his decades of experience in the ups and downs of the sea, he knew that Emperor Jingtai's move must have a deep meaning, so he has been waiting for Emperor Jingtai's next will.

However, he did not receive the second order from Emperor Jingtai, but received a message from the imperial court that he was asked to raise troops and return to King Qin.

The king of Hejian rebelled, murdered the emperor, and put the emperor under house arrest......

Naturally, he was not very convinced.

Sure enough, before the spies he sent out to inquire about the news returned, he received an order from the other "imperial court", ordering him to stay where he was and not to act rashly.

This situation naturally made him feel uneasy for a while, but after many inquiries, he still chose to wait and see what happened.

Everyone knows that he was pulled up by Emperor Jingtai.

If Emperor Jingtai is really dead, he has no backing, and it may be a great sin to move casually.

If you don't move, you won't be guilty of much sin.

Then almost every day, he received some specious news, and it was only in the last few days that the news became more and more reliable.

Of course, there was some news that surprised him very much, but the most important thing was to be sure that the event in the capital was over.

It's just that although the affairs of the capital have come to an end, he himself has become more and more uneasy.

Because no matter how you look at it, Emperor Jingtai is already dead.

And the authority given to him by Emperor Jingtai is so heavy, can the latecomers still tolerate him?

This is a big problem.

During the Qin mission, Wang Ziteng gathered several henchmen and strategists to discuss countermeasures.

Because the reason for the incomplete determination of the news is different, there are different opinions, and no one has a definite and effective way to act.

Some even suggested that he transfer back to Beijing, so as not to become a victim of politics because he was far away from Beijing.

But it was quickly denied.

The prince Tengshi was ordered by the emperor to inspect the border army, reform the military system, and have a heavy responsibility, how could he be unsuccessful halfway?

If this is the case, I am afraid that I will be immediately accused of being accused of ill-intentionedness.

Wang Ziteng also felt that this method could not be adopted, so he refused.

After some discussion, there were not many substantive good policies, and Wang Ziteng could only disperse.

One of his henchmen and advisors, named Du Kaizhi, quietly stayed, and after the others dispersed, Fang said: "My lord, my subordinates have some gossip, maybe they can solve the difficulties of adults." ”

The prince understood and led him to the study.

"I heard rumors in Beijing that Emperor Taishang intends to train the newly promoted King Jing to inherit the great treasure......"

When Wang Ziteng heard this, his heart was shocked, and he immediately shook his head and said: "Although it is a happy event for the Emperor Taishang to find the orphan of Prince Yizhong many years ago, it is a happy event that shakes the government and the public, but if it is said that the Emperor Taishang intends to make him the prince, I am afraid that it is too far-fetched. ”

Wang Ziteng naturally had reason to be surprised, no one knew what he felt when he knew that the talented and talented nephew was actually the grandson of the emperor.

He went to that kid's full moon banquet in person!

If he is the grandson of Emperor Taishang, then where is the son of Yueluo (Mrs. Wang), his nephew? But he, like everyone else, thought back to the previous Emperor Taishang's attitude towards Jia Baoyu, plus the things that had become a fact after the holy decree had been issued, and he didn't dwell too much on it, anyway, it wouldn't be a bad thing for him.

But to say that the emperor wants to entrust the country to Jia Baoyu, he still feels that it is too rash.

Du Kaizhi said with a smile: "I know what the adults mean, first, even if the second prince has died for rebellion, His Majesty still has a son."

Second, even if the Emperor Taishang is unwilling to establish His Majesty again, there is still a line of loyalty to the prince.

Third, although it seems that the Emperor Taishang has determined that the previous Jing Yuanbo was the concubine of the righteous prince back then, it is enough to be named King Jing.

After all, King Jing has been in the people for more than ten years, and if he is made king, he is afraid that the subjects of the world will not accept it. ”

Wang Ziteng nodded, what Du Kaizhi said was roughly the same as he thought.

That's the case, let's not say that the emperor has other choices, let's just say that Jia Baoyu didn't grow up in the royal family after all, so who can ensure that his bloodline is foolproof? It is enough to be crowned as a prince, and it is enough to allow him to be rich and honorable for a lifetime, and he is canonized as the Son of Heaven, and people in the world are afraid that it will be unconvincing.

Who knew that Du Kaizhi smiled and said: "Among the three points, I think that the first point can be removed, do you think so?" ”

Wang Ziteng was silent for a moment and nodded reluctantly.

Needless to say, with the position of the prince, he knew better than others about the tension between the two generations of emperors.

Therefore, judging from the news he got before, he knew that this change in the capital was by no means what it seemed on the surface, it was planned by the second prince.

Emperor Jingtai wanted to force the palace, but was suppressed by Emperor Taishang, this is the truth.

As for why the second prince rebelled next, he was not sure, but there was a certain guess.

At the beginning, Emperor Jingtai's inner eunuch said before he died, he knew.

Therefore, Du Kaizhi said that the four princes have no chance, which is also reasonable.

Du Kaizhi continued: "The prince of Zhongshun has always been disliked by the emperor, and even now, he only has the position of the king of the county.

As for the reasons, there are too many, and I believe adults know about them, so I don't need to list them one by one.

In addition, the loyal and obedient prince likes the male style, which may have caused difficulties in giving birth, and now he has passed the destiny of heaven, but he only has two daughters and one son under his knees.

Let's not talk about the character of the little prince, just in this situation, there may not be a suspicion of severing the bloodline in the future, so I think that based on this article alone, the emperor will not consider being loyal to the prince.

Of course, after all, it is the only son of the emperor, and it cannot be completely ruled out the qualification of being loyal to the prince. ”

Wang Ziteng thought about it, but still nodded.

The emperor is newly dead, and who is the new monarch is the most important thing in the world, so it is important to brainstorm.

"Even if the Emperor Taishang is unwilling to establish loyalty to the prince, there are still dragon sons and grandsons of the clan to choose from."

The prince said.

Du Kaizhi said with a smile: "My lord is right, but since ancient times, the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the brother dies, which is called the family of the world."

The people in the clan, although they can be said to be in the same vein, are not close relatives in the end.

The pride of the Aether Emperor, if he had no choice, would never have chosen this path.

Have you forgotten the tragedy of the Yizhong Palace......"

Wang Ziteng's heart was shocked again, he naturally did not forget the big case of that year, when the emperor was furious, ordered the border army to enter, carpet encirclement and suppression in March, and dismantled and crumpled the White Lotus Sect, the first cult in the world at that time, so that it completely disappeared in the long river of history.

But many people know that the White Lotus Sect at that time was just a knife in the hands of Emperor Jingtai.

Even then, the Emperor Taishang still did not move Emperor Jingtai.

Even in the second year, it was directly passed to Emperor Jingtai.

Just because Emperor Jingtai is his heir to the throne, and he has enough power and scheming, enough experience, and sound heirs......

Maybe if Emperor Taishang didn't live so long, Emperor Jingtai would be a good emperor.

"Your Excellency, ......?"

The prince came back to his senses," you continued. ”

Du Kaizhi smiled and said: "Emperor Taishang's martial arts are rare among ancient and modern emperors, if it is later, the throne is passed to the sidelines, how willing the Emperor Taishang, mentioned in later generations, I am afraid that there will be regrets."

Therefore, I think that the possibility that the Emperor Taishang chose to take this path is not high.

Let's look at our Royal Highness King Jing......

Hehehe, needless to say, talent and temperament, let's just say that the emperor treats him sincerely, and all the children of the entire clan, no one can stand out. This is one of them.

In addition, although the prince of Yizhong had forced the palace back then, he had been dead for more than ten years, and there were hundreds of lives in the entire palace to resist, and the emperor was afraid that he had no hatred in his heart, only regrets.

And His Royal Highness King Jing can just fill this point, which can also be in line with the sincerity of the Emperor Jing Wang.

The most important thing is that the adults may not know that the person in charge of all the things inside and outside the capital is now the Lord Jing, and the second prince who led the troops to attack and rebel is also the hand of the Lord Jing himself, don't you know what this means? ”

"Really?"

After all, hundreds of miles apart, Wang Ziteng really didn't know this.

Du Kaizhi nodded solemnly.

Seeing that Wang Ziteng was in thought, he continued: "Therefore, if it is divided by grasp, even if I give the opportunity of the princes of the clan to Sun Sancheng, plus the Zhongshun prince Sancheng, then the remaining forty percent should also belong to the prince Jing!" ”

Forty percent ......

It doesn't seem to be much.

Wang Ziteng thought subconsciously in his heart.

"Your Excellency!"

Du Kaizhi suddenly bowed and shouted: "Since ancient times, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen!" With the relationship between Prince Jing and adults before, if he can ascend to the throne of Prince Jing in the future, what a good opportunity it is for adults? !

The ancients did not hesitate to succeed in the withering of thousands of bones, and now nearly half of the opportunities are placed in front of adults, do adults still dare not gamble?

Success, not only can keep the current power and wealth of adults, but it is also common to go further in the future.

Defeat, but not Erer.

This is a heaven-given opportunity for adults, and they should cherish it. ”

The more Du Kaizhi spoke, the more excited he became, as if he was talking about an earth-shattering great cause.

The prince exhaled a long breath, looked at him, and arched his hand: "I know everything that the gentleman said, please let me think about it." ”

Seeing Wang Ziteng's reaction, Du Kaizhi was obviously not very satisfied, but he also said almost what he should say, so he almost asked Wang Ziteng to surrender to King Jing immediately, and cooperate with the outside to conspire for a great cause!

After a few more words that made Wang Ziteng cherish the opportunity, he also said goodbye and left.

Wang Ziteng did not send him, but sat alone on the Taishi chair and pondered, and for a long time, he took the pen on the desk and wrote several letters to Jingzhong......

……

Originally, it only took half a day's horse ride from the capital to Tiewang Mountain.

But because of Emperor Jingtai's coffin and Emperor Taishang's poor health, the three armies could only move forward slowly.

On the night of the return trip, it rained, and in the second half of the night, it became a trend, not only delayed the journey for half a day, but also washed away the road in heavy rain, in order to avoid the dragon chariot of the emperor and others and the coffin of the Jingtai Emperor, the three armies could only stop and go, and then go after the road was completely filled......

In the military tent, Jia Baoyu looked at Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan and said with a smile: "Brother Chen and Brother Wei have raised grain and grass this time, and they have worked hard, and when they return to Beijing, I will truthfully report to the court and reward them for their meritorious deeds." ”

"The prince is serious, all of them are valued by the prince, give us such an opportunity to practice, and dare not say anything."

Both of them were originally the sons of Jingzhong, but after really doing a serious job this time, they felt that their temperament had changed significantly.

It's less immature and more stable.

waved his hand to let the two of them sit down, and said: "Because of the rebellion in the capital, there are some changes in the two of you in the family, I think you have heard about it." ”

The two nodded.

They had already received news from their families, but because there were no casualties among their direct blood relatives, they did not rush back, but insisted on doing the things arranged by Jia Baoyu well and finishing them.

Speaking of this topic, they naturally easily thought of the tragedy of the Feng family, and Chen Yejun couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask King Jing, I don't know how Brother Feng is now?" ”

Wei Ruolan quietly pulled him, but Chen Yejun didn't know what he said wrong.

When Jia Baoyu saw it, he didn't say anything, but said: "Brother Feng's family was killed, and he is in a bad mood, after the two of you return to Beijing, you still need to persuade him more." ”

Chen and Wei hurriedly responded.

After a few words of gossip, he wanted to let the two of them leave.

Wei Ruolan said to Chen Yejun: "You go outside and wait for me first, I still have something to report to the prince......

Chen Yejun's eyes showed a look of Nahan, but he didn't say anything, nodded and retired.

Then Wei Ruolan stepped forward, took out a secret letter from her arms, handed it to Mingyan, and said to Jia Baoyu: "This is what my father sent to me, telling me to personally hand it over to the prince." ”

Mingyan knew that it was important and hurriedly handed the letter to Jia Baoyu.

The envelope was blank and there was nothing on it. Jia Baoyu seemed to think of something, silently opened it, and looked at it carefully.

After a while, he put the letter down and asked, "What else does General Wei have to say?" ”

"No, my father only gave me this letter."

Jia Baoyu nodded and said, "After you finish handing over the things in your hands for a while, you will go back to Beijing directly, and it will be better to feel at ease to see the situation at home first." ”

Wei Ruolan had some doubts in her heart, but seeing that Jia Baoyu had no other orders, she could only give up.

When he left, Jia Baoyu's face turned cold.

In the letter sent by Wei Liqi, the two things he said were about being loyal to the king.

The current situation obviously made this prince who had been hiding under Emperor Jingtai's squeaky nest unable to sit still......

Just gave birth to contempt, Jia Baoyu immediately corrected his mentality.

Underestimating the enemy is the most stupid thinking at all times.

Although King Zhongshun seems to be a bit of a waste of snacks, as the only living son of the Emperor Taishang on the surface, perhaps, this is his cleverness.

But he wasn't too worried, he had already thought about how to deal with himself in the future, and he wouldn't be led by the nose.

Under the hands of a famous emperor, it is smart to do more practical things and less small actions.

Wei Liqi's letter contains his countermeasures against the Zhongshun Wang, and they are also very safe and not aggressive, so if he does not reply to the letter, it means acquiescence.

Casually putting the letterhead into the brazier, Jia Baoyu got up and went to the palace of the Emperor Taishang.

The Emperor Taishang is now waiting for leisure and does not see foreign ministers, but he can see the Emperor Taishang at least twice a day......

At this time, the Holy Grace is the most important.
