Ruan Qingwen cleared his throat, raised his voice, and continued: "The next thing I want to talk about is the most likely to be the monarch of the country, the fifth prince Xuanyuan Zixiao, who has been fighting with the three princes. The fifth prince is the most handsome of all the princes, the most handsome in appearance, the highest in poetry and writing, and the most gentle temper, his biological mother is the daughter of Zhang Kuan, the prime minister of Zuo, and now she is the imperial concubine. The five princes were originally obsessed with poetry and had no intention of fighting for the crown prince, but who made him so good. As a royal family, if it is ordinary, it is just like the eldest prince and the second prince of the clan early, and he is a marquis who eats and waits for death. But if the prince is excellent, he doesn't want to compete for the prince and has to compete for the prince, Zhang Kuan has worked hard to cultivate this grandson for so many years, and Zhang Dang also takes it as his responsibility to support the five princes. I speculate that the final winner is the five princes, who let him stand behind his grandfather Zhang Kuan. ”

Zhang Xiaowu asked, "What about the six princes and the seventh princes?" ”

Ruan Qingwen said: "The sixth prince Xuanyuan is still stubborn, not only quarreling with the crown prince, but also often clashing with the fifth prince, and beating the seventh prince several times. These six princes are so stinky because of their tempers, not to mention that the minister doesn't like it, even his grandfather and the first emperor don't like it, saying that in order to let him raise his temperament, he will be punished to go to the royal hunting ground as a guard.

The Seven Princes and the Nine Emperors are both the biological sons of the imperial concubines, but the Seventh Prince Xuanyuan Zidong is a bully in the capital, who often does evil in the capital, and has been blessed by his mother the imperial concubine many times, but he has not changed his teachings. Previously, the imperial concubine had proposed to Gu Junshi, but Gu Junshi seized the handle and turned against the first army, almost putting the seven princes to death, and Zhang Dang was also depressed.

The eighth prince died of a vicious disease when he was ten years old, and as for the nine princes, he is only twelve years old this year, and he and the prince also died early, and in addition to the emperor, there is only one male in the palace. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "In this way, Jiangshan must be the fifth prince." ”

Ruan Qingwen's eyes blinked, and he further said: "If the city lord is Dushanbo, is he willing to see the five princes supported by Zhang Dang succeed to the throne, or are he willing to see the cowardly four princes succeed to the throne?" ”

Everyone stretched their necks, and Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help but exclaim: "You mean Dushanbo rebelled?" ”

Ruan Qingwen sneered: "No one knows whether he rebelled or not, but if he is really ambitious, he should set up the fourth prince to succeed him, kill Zhang Dang, and take charge of the court alone!" ”

When everyone thought of the scene of the soldiers approaching the court, they were first excited, and then trembling, so that the country would no longer be a country, and the three-hundred-year-old saint Han Jiangshan would not change hands?

Heavy breathing filled the White Tiger Hall, and the generals seemed to see the Central Plains, the ambitious Dushanbo, and the displaced people. Although Emperor Taiqian is incompetent, but the three hundred years of the Shenghan Dynasty, the people's hearts are at ease, and they are the generals under Zhang Xiaowu.

The battle for the crown prince has always been a life-and-death war, and Emperor Taiqian also took advantage of the plague in Longdu to unite his ministers to defeat other princes and finally ascend the throne as emperor. The difference between today and thirty years ago is that Emperor Dao did not set up a prince back then, but Emperor Taiqian set up Xuanyuan Zixun as a prince, of course, everyone now understands that this is not a repetition of the story of thirty years ago.

Zu Gongmao said: "My lord, no matter what, we must not participate in the battle of the royal family. ”

Hu Sanwan laughed and said: "You think too highly of yourself, how can we participate in the battle of the royal family, and the princes know who you are?" ”

Hu Li also smiled strangely: "Instead of thinking about who will be the emperor, it is better to think about Jincheng, if you want me to see, Gu Junshi and Vice Marshal Li can't last long." ”

Everyone talked about it, but the emperor's death really had little impact on everyone, so they discussed the New Year's preparations, and there was still a month to celebrate the New Year.

After everyone left, Ruan Qingwen immediately found Zhang Xiaowu and said anxiously: "At this time, the dragon capital is in chaos, if the city lord is still hesitating to bring the new emperor to the throne, then the salary of the Qinglong Army will definitely be hidden." City Lord, don't miss the opportunity and don't regret it. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "If you can get military salaries, how can you hide yourself, how can you hide one million and a half million taels of silver?" And how to transport it to Mucheng? Does Ruan Dead Marco have a plan? ”

Ruan Qingwen asked rhetorically: "Why did you want to transport it to Mucheng?" If the Inuyi army goes south, can the city lord resist the 500,000 Inuyi army with only 8,000 foot soldiers? Zhang Xiaowu smiled embarrassedly, how could they resist the Inuyi army going south, Ruan Qingwen continued: "One and a half million taels of silver can be taken out and hidden in Hunzhou or Daizhou. At that time, there will be more than one million taels of silver, and the adults should be able to rise again with this, and only with the silver in their hands can they have the capital to turn over, but what if they lose this wooden city? Even if the court blames in the future, everyone will be exempted from official status, and if you have money, you can be a rich man, and you can enjoy the landscape and countryside. ”

Zhang Xiaowu laughed and said, "Ruan Sima is thinking far-reaching, so, what method can you think of to get the gold and silver, and where to hide it?" ”

Ruan Qingwen said: "There is a place called Chang County in Hunzhou, and to the west of Chang County is the North Bank Mountain, which stretches for hundreds of miles, and there is a Taoist temple on the North Bank Mountain called Cunxin Temple. Cun Xinguan was originally full of Dao fire, but ten years ago, it was looted by a gang of robbers and killed most of the Taoist priests. There are ninety-nine rooms in the Cunxin Temple, but there are only a dozen Taoist priests, many jackals, tigers and leopards often break into the Taoist temple, and it is said that once they also ate a small Taoist priest, which provoked the people to dare not go. I once had the privilege of staying overnight and having a night talk with the Viewer, and learned that the Viewer was just a Taoist in charge of the fire room, because he hid in the cellar with a dozen small Taoist priests to escape the catastrophe, but he thought that he had become the leader. The city lord can hide the gold and silver in the Cun Xinguan, and then send dozens of people to disguise themselves as Taoist priests to protect the Cun Xinguan. ”

Zhang Xiaowu thought about it carefully and felt that there was a lot to be done, so he called Hu Sanwan and Chen Guanxi.

The four of them discussed together, and Hu Sanwan said that if he didn't take the money, others would take it, and as long as he disguised himself well, he would not be discovered. Zhang Xiaowu also made up his mind to take gold and silver.

Ruan Qingwen said again: "There are two conditions for taking the silver, the first is to obtain the prince's silver ticket, and the second is to obtain the prince's tiger talisman. No matter how much Uncle Du Shanbo hated the prince, he would not let people search the prince closely, so it was impossible to take away the silver ticket and tiger talisman. After we went to the Two Wolves Pass, we had to make friends with Cao Yan and Murong Yan first, and contact the prince alone before we could get the two things. ”

After the White Tiger Army withdrew, only the Qinglong Army trapped in Jincheng, the defenders of Mucheng and the two wolf guards were left in Saibei, and Zhang Xiaowu and the thirteenth prince Murong Yin were good friends, so they used this line to make friends with the wolf guards.

A few days after preparation, Zhang Xiaowu sent Ruan Qingwen, Hu Sanwan and Chen Guanxi to lead 200 people to carry 5,000 stone of grain to the Two Wolf Pass.
