In the Yanchun Palace, Yao Jinling, the queen mother, was dressed in a fiery red dress, with a butterfly pattern embroidered with golden silk thread on the neckline, and a golden auspicious cloud pattern embroidered on the skirt, embellished with gemstones. Her pair of sharp and coquettish Danfeng eyes were full of anger, although she was old, she was very well maintained, and her skin was like snow, no wonder she had been blessed with divine grace for a long time.

The crown prince Xiao Luan left the imperial study and went to his mother's palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xiao Luan sat beside the queen, shielding the left and right before lightly opening his lips: "Emperor, why are you so ignorant as the crown prince?" This time it really angered your father, the holy power is unpredictable! ”

Prince Xiao Luan lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "I beg my mother to save me, this time my son is confused." originally wanted to develop his power and expand the foundation of his sons, but neither Lord Taifu Liang nor his sons thought that the third child and the Prime Minister's Mansion would stir up. ”

The queen mother took a sip of the teacup, "Emperor, what is the most powerful tiger beast?" Prince Xiao Luan was awakened, "It's a minion!" So how do we get rid of the third child's minions? ”

"Why didn't your father give the death of Lord Taifu Liang?" The queen's mother, Yao Jinling, was kind and seductive, and she and the Yao family behind her had too much hope for this prince, and pinned the family's hopes on him.

"Then get rid of Prime Minister Wang Jingtian first, and be sure to hit it with one hit." The crown prince Xiao Luan thought thoughtfully, "Why don't you discuss this matter with your uncle?" "Crown Prince Xiao Luan's uncle Yao Jinlong is the Taiwei, he is in charge of the selection of military attaches and other military and political affairs in the whole Nanyue State, and he has military power.

The queen mother, Yao Jinling Danfeng, looked up and rubbed her temples with her hands, "It's okay, let your uncle come up with an idea, after all, he can also help." ”

Uncle Yao Jinlong was in the imperial study to report to Lu Wangxing, the martial champion who had been admitted in Gengzi Nian, and was selected to go to the military camp in the northwest to be a cavalry captain, and the official was from the third rank. This person is not only strong in martial arts, but also far-reaching in resourcefulness, and he will definitely be able to master the forces in the northwest in a short time, which is the force cultivated by Taiwei Yao Jinlong for the crown prince Xiao Luan.

Taiwei Yao Jinlong finished his official business and wanted to go to his sister's palace to ask for peace. At this time, the queen's mother, Yao Jinling's personal attendant, came to invite him into Yanchun Palace.

Although Taiwei Yao Jinlong has gray hair and wears an official uniform, he is full of majesty. He was originally a military general, with slanted sword eyebrows, slender and sharp black eyes, domineering but as if he could see through everything. "See the Queen Mother, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

The queen mother, Yao Jinling, looked at this majestic brother who was over half a hundred years old and said, "No courtesy!" My brother doesn't have to be polite here in this palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xiao Luan also personally helped him up, "Uncle is polite, give him a seat quickly!" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xiao Luan and Yao Jinlong discussed, "Uncle, according to what you think, what should I do?" ”

Yao Jinlong thought about it for a while, and already had an idea in his heart. "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Prince, since the Changcheng incident has greatly weakened our strength, it has dealt a great blow to the foundation of the Prince. It's better to let this incident ferment and expand, and there will naturally be more people involved, and the old fox Prime Minister Wang Jingtian will naturally not be able to escape. ”

"In a few days, Prince Ben and his uncle will go to Huyang for disaster relief, and it is also a good time to get rid of the third child and Wang Jingtian when they are far away from the capital at this time." Prince Xiao Luan said after pondering. "Niangniang, Your Highness, I have placed an important eyeliner in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I can know what the situation is." Yao Jinlong bowed down to them and said.

Yao Jinling, the queen mother, got up and walked a few steps, "Brother, very good!" Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent like this, one cannot be defeated in a hundred battles. The emperor's health is getting worse and worse than before, and you can take this opportunity to ensure your legitimacy. This time to go to Huyang for disaster relief is a good opportunity, you look for an opportunity to seize King Ning's handle, eliminate his power in one fell swoop, and force your father to abdicate. ”

Tai Lieutenant Yao Jinlong nodded, "This matter has to be considered in the long run, and it should be kept secret." The old man also arranged for people to be in the barracks, and they were not allowed to be exposed until they had to. His Royal Highness and I went to Huyang for disaster relief, and I hope that Niangniang will pay more attention to the changes in the palace and consolidate the power in the palace. ”

Empress Yao Jinling looked at this brother and nodded, it's not that she doesn't love this emperor Xiao Daocheng, it's just that the emperor is a concubine of many concubines in the harem, not to mention that the emperor's body is not as good as day by day, and it is inevitable that there will be trouble. Only the son belongs to her, and the position of the queen mother belongs to her.

A conspiracy hatched in the Yanchun Palace one afternoon, while the others lived in peace.

"His Royal Highness King An, taking advantage of this disaster relief prince and King Ning are not in the capital, we are waiting for the time to plan." Li Qingta, the lord of Shangshu, was in the palace of King An, and discussed with a group of people in the study. Others were ready to move and followed suit, agreeing that it was time to act.

An Wang Xiao Zhao just nodded and drank his wine calmly, "Are there any of our people in the barracks?" How are the guards in the palace arranged? ”

"In the barracks, several generals are our people, and once we move, they will bring all their forces to help prevent reinforcements from outside the capital from entering the city." Lord Xue responded.

Zhang Zhongchang, the commander of the forbidden army, bowed and replied, "The commander of the three armies of the Praetorian Guard, the Protector, and the Right Strike has been mastered, and he will obey His Highness's orders at any time. It's just that the three armies of the Protector Army, the Left and Right Guards, and the Xiaocai are under the command of Cao Xuan, and Cao Xuan is the person of King Ning. The others looked at each other and exchanged words left and right.

King An Xiao Zhao was silent in thought, and under his cold expression, his ambition was hidden, and he asked the commander Zhang Zhongchang, "If we fight against the three armies controlled by King Ning, what percentage of our chances are we?" ”

"There is less than a fifty percent chance, and if you can meet it inside and out, maybe the chance will be greater." Commander Zhang Zhongchang replied that he didn't have a good grasp of it, it was really the other party's strong power, not to mention that Cao Xuan's martial arts were even higher than him.

King An's face became even more cold, he understood that if he didn't grasp the opportunity this time, he would have missed the opportunity, and the two powerful brothers had left the capital because God had given him the opportunity. "Do what you do!" An Wang Xiao Zhao said to everyone that everyone's hearts were already excited.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the calm surface looks like everything is normal. Xiangye Wang Jingtian was in the study, Liu Zongnan sat on the seat, and the princes Wang Jiaer and Liu Fuqing were in turn. "Zongnan, King Ning has made a beautiful comeback this time, and he is worthy of my sister Concubine Jing, but it's a pity for her...... But the emperor didn't like King Ning, which caused him to suffer for many years. ”

Prime Minister Wang Jingtian's younger sister Wang Jinghui entered the palace as a concubine in her early years because she was a substitute for entering the palace. Wang Jingtian, who was still the prince of the world, Xiao Daocheng, the emperor who was still the crown prince, and Liu Zongnan, a staff member, accidentally saw Nalan Rongruo's earth-shattering dance in the garden and was fascinated by the earth-shattering dance of the peach blossom dance, and felt that Nalan Rongruo was a fairy who accidentally fell from the sky to the mortal world.

Xiao Daocheng intended to marry her side concubine, but was learned by the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion and said that she wanted to give her a higher status to be worthy of the status of the prince, so she pretended to be her goddaughter, but sent her own daughter Wang Jinghui to the East Palace.

That night, I thought it was Nalan Rongruo, but the next morning I found out that it was Wang Jinghui, he was angry, sad, but powerless. But when he had the power to make Nalan Rongruo a concubine, he learned that Nalan Rongruo was given to Liu Zongnan by the new wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he also hated Liu Zongnan, so that Liu Zongnan could not be a master, Liu Zongnan had a talent, but he would never come out.

Although Emperor Xiao Daocheng was extremely angry, he had to rely on the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he did not embarrass Wang Jinghui, but just snubbed, and even when she gave birth to her third son, Xiao Chong, she also snubbed to punish the old lady for making assertions. When Wang Jinghui became Concubine Jing, she was depressed and unhappy, and finally died of depression, and Xiao Chong who left behind could not be Xiao Daocheng's heart.

"The old man learned from the people in the palace that the emperor's condition is not optimistic, and his health is not as good as day by day, and I am afraid that time is running out. This time, the emperor ordered the crown prince and King Ning to leave Beijing to go to Huyang for disaster relief, this will is not difficult to guess, but to examine the talents of the two of them, so as to entrust Jiangshan Sheji. Prime Minister Wang Jingtian said calmly.

Liu Zongnan took a sip of tea, "Xiangye, if King Ruoning wants to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, I'm afraid he still needs to plan more." Xiangye Wang Jingtian nodded, and said to Wang Jiaer and Liu Fuqing, "Jia'er, Fuqing, you have made a lot of contributions this time, you remember that King Ning is a good lord." This time I went to Huyang for disaster relief, and I want to send the two of you to help His Royal Highness King Ning. ”

The two of them stood up and said, "Follow the teachings!" Wang Jiaer, the prince of the world, got up and said to him, "Father, I want to talk about the situation in Huyang in detail. Liu Zongnan carefully analyzed the situation, and Wang Jingtian added a few points from time to time.

"Zongnan, His Royal Highness King Ning intends to accept Fusu as a concubine, and I think that Fusu's child being the princess of His Royal Highness King Ning will also benefit our Prime Minister in the long run." Prime Minister Wang Jingtian looked at Liu Zongnan, this was an order and not a solicitation of opinions.

Liu Zongnan was not calm, his cold arrogance and loneliness were suddenly depressed, "Xiangye, this child Fusu is the meat of my wife and me, I just wish her to be an ordinary person and live happily for a lifetime!" When Wang Jiaer, the prince of the world, heard that Xiao Chong, the king of Ning, wanted to take Liu Fusu as the princess, he said impulsively, "Father must not, Fusu's sister is unwilling." It is better for our Prime Minister to send my sister Miao Miao to Ning Wangfu as a concubine. ”

Seeing that his father was speechless, Wang Jiaer, the prince of the world, was even more sad and angry, "Father, Fusu's sister is also the son's love, and he wants to marry Fusu as his wife, and I hope that my father will be fulfilled." ”

Prime Minister Wang Jingtian slapped this confused son with a heavy slap, "Bastard thing, Fusu is the person that His Royal Highness King Ning fancies, how can you peep!" Wang Jiaer covered his face with his hands, and Liu Fuqing went over to help him up.

Liu Fuqing also wanted to defend the prince Wang Jia'er, but Liu Zongnan stopped him with a look. Once Prime Minister Wang Jingtian made a decision, other persuasions would challenge his authority.

At first, Prime Minister Wang Jingtian thought of sending his daughter Wang Miaomiao to Ning Wangfu as a concubine, but Wang Miaomiao's daughter would be able to marry a good husband in the future with the support of Du Mansion and Xiangfu.

Liu Fusu is the daughter of the woman he loves, and the fortune teller once said that whoever gets her wins the world, which helps His Royal Highness King Ning, not to mention that His Royal Highness King Ning is in love with her.

"The prime minister has promised His Royal Highness King Ning, this is the meaning of His Royal Highness King Ning and the decision of the prime minister, Fusu is bound to marry into King Ning's mansion as a concubine." Prime Minister Wang Jingtian didn't know his son's thoughts, he understood even more that he and his current son were in the same mood, he didn't know that the world had happened again, but the interests of the family were above all else! His Royal Highness King Ning's future is higher than all!
