At the gate of the capital, under the kneeling of hundreds of civil and military officials, he went all the way south and went straight to Tongzhou Wharf. Here, dozens of dragon boats have been waiting for a long time.

Jia Ke boarded the dragon boat at the Tongzhou wharf, and then the fleet went south along the mighty canal.

Jia Ke didn't mention the mountains and rivers in the south, not to mention that in the capital, since Jia Ke left, Jia Zhi, the king of Chu as a prisoner, immediately became active.

As he grew older, Jia Zhi also understood that he was not Jia Ke's valued son, and under the competition of many brothers, it was not very easy for him to ascend to the crown prince, so he regarded this time as a golden opportunity.

The first thing Jia Zhi did was to arrange a position among the six departments for the disciples around him.

However, Jia Zhi knew that there were irregularities in this matter, after all, since Jia Ke became emperor, no person who was not an official of the imperial examination had ever served as an official.

Jia Zhi did not dare to arrange any important positions, these people all held a fictitious position in the six ministries, so as not to cause a backlash from the Manchu civil and military forces.

However, Fan Kang, who was sitting in the capital in this way, couldn't agree, and after receiving Jia Zhi's order, he went to the Heart Cultivation Hall to reason with Jia Zhi on the same day.

And Jia Zhi seemed to have known for a long time, and when Fan Kang came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, he had already hidden in the palace.

And Fan Kang couldn't enter the palace, so he had no choice but to leave, so Fan Kang entered the palace three times, and Jia Zhi avoided him three times.

In the end, Fan Kang could only reluctantly accept Jia Zhi's order, thinking that he would let him toss and toss now, as long as there is no big mess, when the emperor comes back, he will naturally sort out the situation.

After Jia Zhi arranged his cronies, the second thing he did was to win over the gentry of the world, so he issued several orders to the officials of the world to treat the squires well.

And the people beside Jia Zhi also kept beating the side drum, asking Jia Zhi to exempt the gentry from taxes back then.

Jia Zhi is not a fool, where does he dare to decide such a big thing, if he dares to give an order, Jia Ke can depose him the next day.

Now, Jia Zhi has also begun to understand that these people around him are probably selfish and don't really assist him wholeheartedly.

So Jia Zhi looked at the imperial court, wanting to choose a few henchmen from among them, and finally chose to choose, or his teacher Li Wenbin.

This Li Wenbin was Jia Ke's enlightened teacher back then, and later served as Jia Zhi's master, and he has worked hard for Jia Zhi over the years.

So, one night, Jia Zhi summoned Li Wenbin to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

As soon as Li Wenbin entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, before he could kneel down to salute Jia Zhi, Jia Zhi had already hurriedly ran over, grabbed Li Wenbin's arm, and helped him to a seat.

Then Jia Zhi sat aside to accompany him.

When Li Wenbin saw Dao Jia Zhi's courtesy, he knew that he had something important to discuss with him, so he asked: "Isn't there anything that the prince can't self-determine?" ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the teacher, these days I have been ordered by my father to sit in Beijing and supervise the world, so I know that it is not easy for my father to govern the country?"

Li Wenbin was a little surprised, this is good, what did the King of Chu say about this?

Jia Zhi, the king of Chu, continued: "This king thinks that now that he is older, he can also share his father's worries, if this king can take care of it more, his father will be able to work less." I wonder what the teacher can do? ”

After Li Wenbin listened, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and now Jia Zhi almost said that he wanted to set up Jia Ke and establish himself as the emperor.

Li Wenbin looked Jia Zhi up and down, a little discouraged in his heart, he originally thought that this King of Chu was also a person who knew the times and knew how to advance and retreat, but he didn't expect his ambition to be so big, but he didn't have a long-term vision.

But at this time, Li Wenbin couldn't quit, because the civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty already knew that he Li Wenbin was a person under Jia Zhi, the king of Chu.

So Li Wenbin could only open his mouth and persuade: "I want to ask the prince to be calm and not impatient, now that the emperor is in charge of China, his cronies are all over the government and the opposition, and no one in the world can mobilize a single soldier without the emperor's order." If the prince acts rashly, I am afraid that he will never recover. ”

Jia Zhi, the king of Chu, listened to Fan Kang's words and knew that what he said was reasonable, but he sighed, looked at Fan Kang with sincere eyes, and said his heartfelt words.

"This king has also seen over the years that my father will never pass on the throne to me, and I will not hide the reason from Master Li, that is because my mother has the blood of the royal family of the previous dynasty."

After Li Wenbing heard this secret, he immediately understood that Jia Ke would not appoint Jia Zhi, the king of Chu, as the eldest son of the crown prince.

Things are getting a little tricky right now.

When Jia Zhi, the king of Chu, saw Li Wenbin's face change greatly, he knew that he was a little afraid, so he smiled and said to him: "Teacher, now is my last chance to rule the world, and after a while, my father will return to Beijing, how can I be allowed to make any moves." ”

Li Wenbin is now in despair, this Chu King Jia Zhi is abolished, it seems that he actually voted for the wrong person, "Lord, you don't have any hope, you want to stand on your own feet in the capital, but you take a look at the three major battalions outside the capital, the infantry in the capital commanding the yamen, and the forbidden army near the palace, which army is not the descendant of the emperor to fight in the south and the north, and which general is not the emperor's henchman?" Can the prince command every soldier of them? ”

Li Wenbin sighed and continued: "I'm afraid that the prince has just announced here, and on that side, they will send someone in to arrest the prince." ”

Jia Zhi, the king of Chu, nodded after listening to Li Wenbing's words, but there was no fear on his face.

"It is precisely because they are all henchmen of their father, if their father dies, they will naturally obey me."

Li Wenbin's heart trembled when he heard this, and even his legs trembled a little, listening to the meaning of the words of the ancestor king Jia Zhi, the emperor is about to die.

But the emperor's body is known, and the emperor's annual inspection went north to resist the Tatars, and his kung fu on a horse is rare in the world.

How could such a good body die?

And Jia Zhi, the king of Chu, smiled mysteriously at Li Wenbin and didn't say much, but continued to ask: "If my father dies, does Mr. Li think this king will have a chance to rule the world?" ”

Li Wenbin now knew that he could only plan for the king of Chu Jiazhi if he got on the thief ship, he listened to the question of the king of Chu Jia Zhi, bowed his head and pondered for a long time.

"If it is really as the prince thinks, the emperor dies, then as the prince of the country, you are naturally a righteous prince, and when the time comes, the civil and military forces in the world will support the prince."

Li Wenbin was silent for a while, and then said: "Ruling the world is inseparable from military power, and now the prince is relatively weak in this aspect. ”

"Why is that?" In Jia Zhi's thoughts, Jia Yucun is Jia Ke's absolute confidant, and Jia Ke's accession to the throne was planned by Jia Yucun, how can he win over such a character.

But Li Wenbin said to him: "Almost all of these horses in the capital have been fighting with the emperor for so many years, and they will never betray the emperor, even if the emperor dies in the end, they will wait and see what happens." Only this Jia Yucun has been promoted by the emperor, but I think this person is a villain who forgets his righteousness. As long as the prince treats him a lot, this person will definitely fall to the prince, and this is also the only chance for the prince to be able to take charge of the military. ”

After listening to this, Jia Zhi, the king of Chu, looked at it, and then thought about Jia Yucun's usual actions, it was really what Li Wenbin said, it seemed that this was a breakthrough.

Li Wenbin saw Jia Zhi nodding constantly, and then continued: "When the news of the emperor's death comes, the prince will be able to use the infantry controlled by Jia Yucun to command the power of the yamen, block the nine gates, and then send troops to guard the other princes of the emperor." After that, he can immediately succeed to the throne, and at that time the title of the monarch and minister has been decided, and the great thing can be accomplished. ”

Jia Zhi, the king of Chu, understood Li Wenbin's calculations after hearing this, and according to Li Wenbin's arrangement, he could really easily become the throne, but this premise was that Jia Ke could die as planned.

Regarding the handling of Jia Ke's death, Jia Zhi is still somewhat sure.

Some time before Qin Keqing died, he had already thought of Jia Ke, the king of Chu, and the future would not be too easy.

So he secretly kept all his forces in the palace and the crippled forces of the little prince outside the palace secretly, and arranged for people to lurk silently.

In the past few years, Jia Zhi has gradually grown older, and these talents have contacted Jia Zhi.

At that time, Jia Zhi knew that there was still such a power in the hands of his mother.

And over the years, these secret hidden forces, although there is no development? But it was precisely because of their hiding that they escaped Jacques's purges several times.

And among these people, there are two eunuchs and a palace maid, and now they are holding a lot of positions by Jia Ke's side.

Jia Zhi, the king of Chu, had already given an order to these people before Jia Ke left, and he must get drunk in Jia Ke's tea and rice.

This immortal drunk sounds like a good name, but it is actually a kind of poison, it seems to be the venom extracted by a poisonous snake in Nanyang, which was obtained by the little boy in every possible way, because it has not been used, this is left until now, this time Jia Zhi is ruthless, and he must let Jia Ke die in Huangquan.

It is precisely because of this value that Jia Ke is sure that Jia Ke will die in this southern tour.

After Jia Zhi and Li Wenbin discussed overnight, starting the next day, Jia Zhi, the king of Chu, began to frequently summon the head of the household department and concurrently served as Jia Yucun, the governor of Jiumen.

Every time he was summoned, he was respectful to Jia Yucun, and when Jia Yucun left, he would give a lot of gifts.

This is not counting, and hinted in front of Jia Yucun several times that he wanted to marry Jia Yucun's daughter as the princess.

Jia Yucun's attitude towards Jia Zhi is getting better and better on the surface, but in fact, he already has a sense of vigilance in his heart, and he has already seen what big moves Jia Zhi is going to make.

So during this time in Jia Yu Village, he would write a secret letter every night and order someone to send it to Jia Ke as soon as possible.

At the same time, Jia Yucun also ordered several generals of the Admiral of Jiumen that without his order, no one was allowed to mobilize a single soldier.

Now Jia Yucun is secretly waiting for Jia Ke's order with Jia Zhixu on the surface.
