Chapter 384: Peel back the cocoon and find the best strategy
"And poisoning the prince is the best way to provoke you and His Royal Highness.
As long as he, the mastermind, does not let people find out, then you and the eldest prince will definitely be suspicious of each other, and even fight, and he can hide behind and reap the benefits of the fisherman and continue to develop secretly.
Maybe he also wants to kill you and His Royal Highness the Prince with one blow at the critical moment, completely knock you out of the game, and thus establish his heir status.
However, he can't let you fight too hard with His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise once you quickly divide the winner, then he will never have a chance again.
And if you fight too fiercely, it may also allow Su Shangxiao and others from the outside to take advantage of the situation, so maintaining you and Shizi without breaking is his best chance.
It is precisely because of this that he will choose to let the attending doctor choose the method of poisoning, so that the prince can be treated in time after being poisoned, so that the prince can continue to suppress you and the prince and prevent you from fighting too fiercely.
At the same time, it can also make the prince suspicious of you and the prince from now on, and it can also make him more important to the prince. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Zhi sighed a little: "Kill four birds with one stone, such a scheme is not something that ordinary people can think of, the second son is really hidden!"
It's a pity that I don't know where the second son showed a flaw, so that the prince found out..."
Lin Ru listened quietly, his brain was also running at a high speed, quickly recalling what had happened in the past two years.
Since the eldest brother became the son of the world and himself held a heavy army, the brotherly relationship between himself and the eldest brother was not as good as before.
Since then, my opinion of my eldest brother has changed sharply.
Looking back now, although there are differences and fears between myself and my eldest brother because of their respective identities and statuses, my opinion of my eldest brother is getting worse and worse because of some generals and officials under him.
For more than two years, they often mentioned things related to their eldest brother in their ears, and then quietly provoked their opinions about their eldest brother.
From time to time, they would also quarrel and confront some of the eldest brother's cronies, and at this time, they and the eldest brother would have to endorse the platform for their subordinates in the same way. It is precisely because of them that they and their eldest brother are becoming more and more confrontational.
Presumably the eldest brother has the same spy around him!
At this time, seeing through the background of the conspiracy, Lin Ru couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but the expression on his face became more and more gloomy and cold...
Lu Ping was also running his brain at high speed, he was also thinking about everything, confirming Chen Zhi's guess, and his face had been changing slightly, and the guilt on his face was becoming more and more obvious.
No wonder in the past two years, the relationship between the general and the prince has become more and more stiff, and there will always be some inexplicable disagreements and disputes between each other from time to time, it turns out that all this is the second son Lin Feng behind his back.
Unexpectedly, the second son has always been inconspicuous, and he looks like an honest man, but he is also an ambitious and capable hero, who can secretly develop under the condition of being disadvantaged, and still manages such a huge power relationship in private.
In vain, he has always been conceited, intelligent, and scheming, but he is so arrogant and careless that he can't even see the threat in front of him, and he almost ruined the general's big thing...
At this time, Chen Zhi, who had finished the analysis, changed the topic again and said: "However, according to the last general, what poisoning mastermind, the ambition of the second son, etc., is no longer the most important at this time."
At present, the most important thing to pay attention to is the general's own situation, as well as safety, etc., and the last general believes that the city is no longer a place for the general to stay for a long time, and the general had better go out of the city and return to the camp early tomorrow morning! ”
Lin Ru's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, and he asked urgently, "How do you say this?" ”
"This time, the prince urgently summoned the general to return, but he concealed the poisoning from the general, if the last general did not guess wrong, the prince should have been ready to abdicate completely, the reason why he urgently summoned the general to return is to hand over the great Chu to the prince smoothly to prevent any accidents..."
Chen Zhi hadn't finished speaking, but Lin Ru's face had changed drastically, he understood the meaning of Chen Zhi's words, once his father decided to really abdicate and really hand over Da Chu to the eldest brother, then he would be the biggest hidden danger.
At this time, he held half of the army of Dachu, and his prestige in the army was the second person besides his father, so whether he was ambitious or not, if his father wanted to hand over power smoothly at this time, he must first stabilize himself and leave himself in Yuzhang City temporarily.
And when his eldest brother succeeds to the throne, he will be an obstacle to the eldest brother's real power, the eldest brother wants to completely control Da Chu, and he vows to not tolerate himself, and at that time his best ending is to be under house arrest in the house, completely powerless, and the worst outcome is to be eliminated from the troubles...
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Rust couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked anxiously: "What should I do, what should I do..."
Although his ambition has always been not small, and he has always been competing with Lin Zhen for the inheritance of Da Chu, he has always been a fair competition, and Lin Shihong has always been fond of him before, and has hinted many times that he will change him to the prince, so he has never thought of mutiny or anything.
Because of this, now that he suddenly heard that his father was going to officially pass on the throne to his eldest brother, and he was completely eliminated, he couldn't help but be a little at a loss for a while, and he was a little helpless.
Lu Ping's face did not change, from the fact that the prince concealed the poisoning in order to smoothly recall the general, and the sudden announcement of the temporary supervision of the prince in the dormitory today, he guessed the idea that the prince wanted to really abdicate and give Da Chu to His Royal Highness the prince, so he was not surprised by Chen Zhi's speculation at this time, and he had already thought about countermeasures.
At this time, as soon as he heard Lin Rust's question, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, general, there are three strategies for the general to choose."
One is to stay in the city and wait for things to develop in the house.
Presumably, the prince will soon abdicate and hand over to the prince, and at that time, with the prestige of the general in the army, even if the prince ascends the throne, he will not do anything to the general in a short time.
However, this plan should be quite negative, once chosen, the safety of the general will be handed over to others, and the consequences are unpredictable, so this is a good idea.
The second is the middle strategy, the general immediately went out of the city, rushed back to the Huiji camp overnight, and completely controlled the 100,000 troops of the Huiji camp.
The advantage of this plan is that after the general controls the 100,000 army, he can ensure that his interests are not lost, and whether he advances or retreats in the future depends on the general's own will.
The disadvantage is that once the general chooses this plan, he vows to have a dispute with the prince, and once it gets out of control, the consequences are equally unpredictable.
This plan is half good and half bad, and it can be the middle policy!
The best policy is that the general will find an excuse to go out of the city early tomorrow morning and wait for things to develop in the barracks outside the city. Once there is an emergency, the general can immediately return to the camp to control the army, and then the same can advance or retreat, even if the prince succeeds in ascending the throne in the future, he can only be polite to you, the general. ”
Lin Ru had regained his composure at this time, and after listening to it, he was a little silent, he thought for a while, then looked at Chen Zhi and asked, "What does General Chen think?"
Chen Zhi didn't think much about it, and hurriedly replied: "The last general's opinion is similar to that of General Lu, but the last general thinks that it is better to choose the middle strategy."
"Why?" Lin Ru was stunned for a moment, and he was a little surprised that the best strategy was not chosen.
