The weather in the south of the Yangtze River has been rainy recently, this is a winter day, and the weather is so cold that it is fatal, so Jinling City looks very depressed, because not many people go out at all.

In the palace, the master here, Emperor Xinde, fell asleep in Ziwei Pavilion, according to the latest news from the Tai Hospital, His Majesty's mind was already quite restless, and he couldn't even distinguish the closest concubines in the harem in the past three days. Moreover, His Majesty has not summoned Heavenly Master Xu Tiandao into the palace for more than half a month.

His Majesty is seriously ill, and now the big and small affairs of the court are actually handled by the crown prince Long Zhaohuan, so the prestige of the East Palace is growing, and even, in a sense, the world of Dakang has changed hands.

Long Zhaohuan's behavior is also becoming more and more high-profile, especially after the news of the north has been coming over recently, the north has become a mess, the dragon fights, but Jiangnan is not easy, the rapids under the calm surface of Jiangnan are turbulent, which is enough to make many people frightened.

Prince James Dong Yong is now the fastest rising young man in Jiangnan, this person used to be a strategist under Long Zhaohuan, but he has always been inconspicuous, and even when Long Zhaohuan was trapped in the capital, Dong Yong was not Long Zhaohuan's first confidant.

However, when Long Zhaohuan arrived in Jiangnan, and suddenly found an opportunity, Dong Yong also broke out unexpectedly, he secretly came up with a lot of clever strategies for Long Zhaohuan, and gradually, the situation in Jiangnan changed subtly.

First of all, although the pattern headed by the Lu family in Jiangnan still exists, Long Zhaohuan has lost the support of Song Wensong, and in just a few months, he has continued to overcome one difficulty after another.

Now Zhong Wanxiang, Longyuan Pavilion University scholar Jin Wannian, as well as Duan Tangshan of the Duan family and other important ministers in the court, are now more and more dependent on the crown prince! The situation in the middle of the court is also getting stronger and stronger, although the Lu family is still dominant, however, Long Zhaohuan is undoubtedly no longer a lamb to be slaughtered, and as time goes by, Long Zhaohuan will definitely be more and more in control of the situation, because Emperor Xinde is old, he Long Zhaohuan must ascend the throne, once he sits on the throne of the Ninety-Five, after the king of the world, he will rightfully control the world.

"Mr. Dong, what now? This Lu Zheng is really powerful, he actually broke out of his shell, and successfully won Liaodong! If he doesn't die, we still can't act rashly! Long Zhaohuan said lightly, he leaned back on the recliner, and his expression looked a little haggard.

These few nights, he went to the palace every day to guard, Emperor Xinde became more and more confused, he always had to have a posture as a prince, the better his posture at this time, the more beneficial it was for him, because although Emperor Xinde's ability to control the situation in his later years was a little weak, but there were still a lot of courtiers loyal to him.

And all of these people are the objects that Long Zhaohuan needs to envelop now, so Long Zhaohuan really doesn't dare to have any snubbing in his posture!

Dong Yongnian is about thirty years old, he was born with a small mustache and small eyes that look quite obscene, he stroked his beard with his hand, and said faintly: "Your Highness, it is a good thing that Lu Zheng went to Liaodong, he is beyond the reach of Jiangnan in Liaodong, and it is very difficult for him to influence Jiangnan affairs!"

On the other hand, Song Naifeng and Tan Lei are both jackals, and the two of them want to cross the river to the south but they don't dare at present, because Lu Zheng is eyeing Liaodong, once they go south, Lu Zheng will copy their back road, and they will inevitably suffer if they turn back!

Therefore, now Jiangnan is stable, this is the time when Your Highness has a great deal to do, Your Highness must be decisive at a critical time, and there must be no hesitation! ”

Long Zhaohuan nodded and said, "Then according to Mr. Dong's meaning, where is the opportunity for this palace now?" Who will give Hongu a chance? ”

Dong Yong sneered and said, "Now that Your Majesty is sick, many people are ready to move and can't help it, Your Highness will wait and see what happens!" At this time, if Lu Shanchang is also sick, I think the situation will be even more interesting, Your Highness, don't you say? ”

Long Zhaohuan was stunned for a moment, his pupils couldn't help but retract suddenly, and from Dong Yong's words, he had received important information. Now there are rumors outside that Dong Yong is a disciple of Zhong Fuming, and his strategies are extremely similar to Zhong Fuming's, and his means are also very high.

This time it is obvious that Dong Yong has a big strategy again, he pointed the finger at the Lu family this time, if the Lu family is deflated this time, Long Zhaohuan will be able to completely turn over, and at that time, will the entire Jiangnan not fall into the hands of Long Zhaohuan?

As soon as Long Zhaohuan thought of this, his heart couldn't help but pound, and he immediately stood up and said: "Mr. Dong, this palace is dull, and many places are quite negligent at critical moments, please give me advice!" ”

Dong Yong laughed and said: "The so-called alliance of the Lu family is just relying on Lu Shanchang's reputation, Lu Shanchang is old, the key is that now Lu Zheng has avoided Liaodong, Liaodong and Jiangnan are not connected, and the Lu family does not have Lu Zheng's distant echo, can Lu Shanchang support the situation alone?" I'm afraid not so! ”

Dong Yong paused, and then said: "Now the situation in the court is different from before, and many ministers in the court are your highness's people!" What His Highness can't control now is just the so-called Jiangnan family! At this time, His Highness was anxious, because the opportunity had come, and after grasping this opportunity, His Highness would be able to control the situation easily with a handful!

Therefore, at this time, in fact, the person who is more anxious than His Royal Highness should be the Lu family, and it is he Lu Shanchang! And right now, in order to stabilize the situation, Lu Shanchang will definitely not think of a strategy that is slowly plotted, what is more effective for the current Lu family than luring the snake out of the hole?

And to lure the snake out of the hole, what could be more effective than Lu Shanchang suddenly getting sick? Your Majesty is sick, and the Prime Minister is also sick, isn't it very interesting all of a sudden? The opportunity for His Highness to wait for is this, Lu Shanchang is sick, His Royal Highness can just plan it, and then push the boat along with it, at that time, haha......"

Dong Yong laughed, his smile was full of pride, and Long Zhaohuan also suddenly realized, he repeatedly thought about Dong Yong's words, and felt wonderful and wonderful in his heart for a while, extremely mysterious, Dong Yong's strategy can be said that he doesn't need to move, he just needs to wait for the opportunity to have a big opportunity, and the thoughtfulness and meticulousness of this thought are really difficult for ordinary people to match.

The more Long Zhaohuan thought about it, the happier he became, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but look at Dong Yong even more in his heart. Dong Yong's rise was actually not long, the situation at that time was that Long Zhaohuan and Song Wensong conspired, and the two wanted to join forces to make trouble in Jiangnan, who knew that Song Wensong was taken to the north by Lu Zheng at a critical time, and this time Long Zhaohuan lost his allies in Jiangnan and lost his direction.

At that time, Long Zhaohuan was in a desperate situation, and at this time, Dong Yong began to give him advice, and the first strategy Dong Yong gave him was to let Long Zhaohuan go to Duan Tangshan of the Duan family first at all costs. Then through Duan Tangshan, he found Zhong Wanxiang and Jin Wannian, the ministers of the court, and quietly, Long Zhaohuan gradually had his own team.

Looking at these people in the team, it goes without saying that Duan Tangshan is half dead, the Duan family was half killed by Lu Zheng, and the Duan family's hatred for the Lu family is so deep that it goes deep into the bone marrow, and now the most capable person in the Duan family is Duan Tangshan. Duan Tangshan has always been secretly against the Lu family, but he has no resources, and now that Long Zhaohuan has this identity, of course the two hit it off.

As for the other ministers, they are all old ministers who have been severely suppressed by the Lu family, they are forbearant on the surface, but in fact, they have been dissatisfied with the Lu family for a long time, and Long Zhaohuan did not take too much effort to bring together the basic people.

Then Dong Yong let Long Zhaohuan enter and leave the palace frequently, and gradually the eunuchs and courtiers around Emperor Xinde were subdued by Long Zhaohuan again, and now as soon as Emperor Xinde is sick, these people run to the East Palace almost every day, and the things in the palace are easily controlled by Long Zhaohuan.

controlled the affairs of the palace, and the court had its own people, and gradually Long Zhaohuan became more and more handy, at this time, the situation in the north suddenly changed, Lu Zheng was defeated and retreated, and was driven out of the Central Plains, without Lu Zheng in the north, the situation in Jiangnan was undoubtedly more favorable to Long Zhaohuan, and this time, Long Zhaohuan had the ambition to completely control Jiangnan.

He is ambitious, Dong Yong is strategic, at this moment Long Zhaohuan feels extremely comfortable, he stared at Dong Yong, pondered for a long time, and finally asked what he wanted to say in his heart, and said:

"Mr. Dong, you have been with me for a long time, but you have been silent before, why is this? Could it be true that you are a disciple of Mr. Zhongfu, as people outside say? ”

Dong Yong was stunned, for a long time, he suddenly knelt in front of Long Zhaohuan, and said: "Your Highness, since Your Highness asked about this matter today, Dong Yong didn't dare to hide it, indeed, Dong Mou is a disciple of Mr. Zhongfu." When Mr. Zhongfu was in the capital, he was defeated by Lu Zheng'er twice, and he knew that he had to leave a way back.

At that time, Dong had just failed the imperial examination, and he was at a time of disappointment in life, but fortunately, His Royal Highness took me in. The clear name tells the institute that if he does not study for ten years, the knowledge of his middle father will definitely not be revealed. Therefore, in the past ten years, I have been studying hard, silently observing in the red dust, above the officialdom, and concentrating on cultivation, until the opportunity of ten years came, Dong decided to go out of the mountain......"

Dong Yong said something, and took out three tokens that Zhong Father Ming used back then, these three tokens were all treasures that Long Zhaohuan rewarded Zhong Father Ming, seeing these three things, Long Zhaohuan couldn't help it anymore, "Wow" and cried like a child.

"Mr. Zhongfu, this palace can't stand you! Because you have been persecuted and plotted against in this palace, this palace has always wanted to avenge you but has no chance, and you have no ability! Okay, God is not blind, now you have your own mantle heir, Dong Yong inherited your ability, assisted the palace quickly found an opportunity in a desperate situation, I believe that with his ability, one day he will be able to avenge you and break that Lu Zheng'er into pieces! Long Zhaohuan's cry was really affectionate, and he was really touched in his heart.

In the era of Zhongfu Ming, although Long Zhaohuan was not the crown prince, but the prestige of His Royal Highness the King of Qin at that time was not under the prince at all, if it was carried out normally, Long Zhaohuan would definitely be able to replace Long Zhaoyan, and finally become the prince of Dakang.

However, Long Zhaohuan was destined to have a bad fate, after he lost his middle father Ming, he plummeted, and even his life was difficult to protect for a while, even if he went through a lot of difficulties, and finally was re-established as the prince, he was still just a puppet, just an ornament, and now Dong Yong turned out to be the successor of Zhong Father Ming, and Dong Yong once again let him make a comeback, and only he can experience the sad feeling in the middle.

Of course, Long Zhaohuan is not the high-spirited and talented King of Qin back then, after so many temperings, he is already extremely powerful, and his actions undoubtedly have the intention of winning over Dong Yong!

Dong Yong had been waiting quietly, waiting for Long Zhaohuan to completely calm down before he said: "Your Highness, there is a most critical thing now, that is, the person in control of the situation in Jiangnan can only be this person except for the Lu family!" If we can take down this person, I believe that your highness, your affairs will definitely be done! ”

Long Zhaohuan said: "Are you talking about Su Zhi, the leader of the Nanfu Army?" Su Zhi is not just a member of the Su family, this person is also Lu Zheng's henchman, and he has more than 100,000 Nanfu troops, how can he easily obey my orders? ”

Dong Yong smiled confidently and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, Su Zhi has his weaknesses and difficulties, no, we have been taking precautions." Now that we finally have a chance, it's harvest season!

Let's put it this way, if Lu Zheng is still in Lianghe now, the time is not ripe for us to deal with Su Zhi, because Lu Zheng and Jiangnan are inextricably linked, even if Su Zhi is mastered by us, he will not really be used by us wholeheartedly! There is a high probability that he will look for Lu Zheng, and then we will be passive.

But now hehe, Lu Zheng is far away in Liaodong, and Su Zhi is far away in Jiangnan Tiangao Emperor, the situation is very different! This time, Your Highness can rest assured, just the six-in-one place is enough to make it difficult for Su Zhi to deal with, and when the time comes, Hehe, Your Highness, you will come out again, and the matter can be decided! ”

Dong Yong immediately leaned into Long Zhaohuan's ear and stated the Su Zhi handle in his hand one by one, it turned out that Su Zhi was training in Liuhe, on the one hand, to train for himself, and on the other hand, to use the channel of Liuhe to earn money. Liuhe's waterway was originally owned by the Gu family, but Su Zhi gradually squeezed Gu Zhilun's people away completely, and took all the docks into her own hands.

If it's just like that, it's just that, what's even worse is that Su Zhi will take a copy of all the materials in and out of Liuhe Wharf, people's desires, sometimes they can't be controlled, once the devil in Su Zhi's heart is released, his courage will become bigger and bigger!

The Su family and the Gu family have reached the verge of breaking up, one of them, and more importantly, Su Zhi is good at gambling and lustful, he has raised as many as 100 people on the Liuhe Painting Boat, and his gambling game is even more time to go to Lingnan, it is no exaggeration to say that the current Nanfu Army has become a fire, at least a little provocation, it will immediately become a sea of fire, this fire is burned, Su Zhi's consequences are unimaginable.

And if this matter is known by Lu Zheng, I am afraid that everything for Su Zhi will be in vain, Dong Yong is very sure of this, so his plan is also targeted......
