Hengwang Mansion, Zhao Zheng vented a bit, and then gradually calmed down.

He can't help but be calm, now is the critical moment, not the time to be impulsive, he has already lost too much to Zhao Yi, once he leaves Kyoto, the main government becomes Zhao Yi, and the court will have nothing to do with him.

In a short period of time, they poached Hubu Shangshu and others from him, which is equivalent to cutting off his hands and feet and controlling most of the court, and now they have to come up with this method to keep him away from Jingshi, so insidious and vicious, how can he be fooled, how dare he be fooled?

I'm afraid that if he steps out of this place, there will be no way to come back.

Zhao Zheng helped up a chair, sat on it, and said in a deep voice: "This king can't go." ”

Fang Yu stood in the hall, looked at Zhao Zheng, pondered for a moment, and said, "King Heng is right, you can't leave Jingshi. ”

Zhao Zheng said slowly: "But my father and the courtiers, I also have to have an explanation." ”

"Leave this matter to us." Fang Yu pondered for a moment, a hint of determination appeared on his face.

……

It didn't take long for the rebellion of the Holy Religion to be quelled.

The prince was still preparing the itinerary in Beijing, but he first issued an order, ordering the Huizhou garrison to clear out the Holy Sect bandits first, but what they didn't expect was that this Holy Sect was much easier to deal with than they imagined.

Without much effort, the defenders of Huizhou destroyed the branch of the Holy Sect in Huizhou, arrested more than 100 bandits of the Holy Sect, and escorted them all the way into Beijing.

The good news came in less than two days, and there was no need for the prince to go in person, and the chaos in Huizhou was resolved.

This was the biggest victory ever won in the contest between the court and the Holy Sect.

His Majesty Longyan was happy, rewarded the prince greatly, and delegated more power to him, and for a while, above the court, between the prince and the third prince, a delicate balance was reached.

Fengwang Mansion.

Zhao Xiuwen let out a long sigh and said, "I didn't expect that the Holy Sect was so decisive, not hesitating to sacrifice a branch of the Holy Sect, but also to help the prince stabilize the situation, all the efforts we made before were in vain." ”

A voice spoke: "It's not in vain, at least, the Holy Sect's own strength has been weakened, I don't believe it, he can destroy their own foundation for the sake of the prince?" ”

"Yes, I want to see if they can cut off a few arms, in addition to Huizhou, there are more than a dozen state capitals in Gyeonggi, they like to kill each other, let them take their time one by one!"

The God of Money and Wealth looked contemplative, did not speak from beginning to end, and left the Fengwang Mansion after half an hour.

Qian Mansion, Qian Duoduo was sitting in the room bored counting the silver tickets, the God of Money and Wealth pushed the door in, Qian Duoduo looked up and put away the silver tickets.

The God of Money and Wealth walked up to him and asked, "What else did he tell you?" ”

Qian Duoduo was stunned and asked, "Who?" ”

"The guy you met in Liuzhou."

"Who?"

Qian Caishen looked at him and said, "A few days ago, my father met a few more eminent monks, and I heard that Buddhism is profound......

"Be careful of Aunt Dao!"

The God of Money and Wealth looked at him and asked, "What Dao Gu?" ”

"The queen of the Holy Sect, don't underestimate the Holy Sect, what they want is not small, they are not sincerely supporting the prince, the prince is just a puppet at most, don't push them to the extreme, otherwise something terrible will happen."

Qian Caishen thought for a while and said, "Pack up your things now and go back to Fengzhou with your mother." ”

"Huh?"

The God of Money kicked him in the ass, "Ahhhhhhh ”

……

Zhao Zheng was very happy, in the contest with Zhao Yi, he rarely had the upper hand a few times.

The "Holy Sect" kept making trouble, he kept sending people to quell the rebellion, and won three battles and three victories, and his father was very satisfied with what he had done these days, and the court praised him more than before.

He looked at Fang Yu on the opposite side and said with a smile: "Envoy Fang, if you sacrifice a few more state capitals, this king guarantees that as long as this king can ascend to the throne, what you have lost now, this king can compensate you." ”

Fang Yu had a smile on his face and said, "For the sake of His Highness's great cause, why not sacrifice a few more states?" ”

Zhao Zheng was overjoyed: "Then it's decided, this time, this king will go in person!" ”

Fang Yu agreed with a smile on his face, and it wasn't until he walked out of the Heng Wang's Mansion that his face was completely gloomy.

He walked through several streets to a courtyard.

After knocking on the door and walking in, he bowed down and said, "Niangniang, these days, the strength of the Holy Sect in Gyeonggi has been greatly damaged, and Zhao Zheng's request has been a little excessive. ”

A voice came from the darkness: "Emperor of Qi, it's not time to die." ”

Fang Yu thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "But Niangniang, the officials we have infiltrated with great difficulty, after being planted and provoked by the third prince, Zhao Zheng no longer believes that if the strength of the Holy Sect is weakened like this, even if Zhao Zheng becomes the emperor, it will be harmful to us......"

Fang Yu's face was gloomy and he said, "We have to let him know that without the Holy Sect, he is nothing!" ”

There was silence across from him for a long time before the voice came again.

"Then let's cheapen the third prince first."

Fang Yu looked up: "What do you mean?" ”

"That guy deserves to die...... too"

……

Qi is different from other countries, the crown prince does not mean that he will really sit in that position, everything depends on the last edict of the Son of Heaven.

His Majesty's attitude towards the crown prince is very vague, and his attitude towards the three princes is equally vague, which makes the court clearly divided into three factions.

Prince faction, Three Princes faction, soy sauce faction.

During this time, the crown prince, who had been gray for a long time, began to shine brightly, and his performance in the matter of exterminating the Holy Sect and the rebellious party was remarkable, and even had some meaning of returning to the eyes of the courtiers.

This time, in order to boost morale and thwart the arrogance of the Holy Sect, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even went to a certain place in Gyeonggi to exterminate the Holy Sect bandits.

When he returns, his reputation in Beijing will definitely reach a higher level.

Of course, the premise is that some unexpected situation does not happen.

For example, the prince died in the process of suppressing bandits.

Another example is that after the prince left Beijing, His Majesty suddenly died, and the third prince successfully took over the forbidden army in Beijing and entered the palace.

Or the three princes rebelled directly and forced the palace to pass on the throne......

Of course, there are many defenses around the crown prince, and His Majesty's body has not yet reached the time when the oil is exhausted, and it is even more impossible for the third prince to take the opportunity to rebel, these are all small probability events and are unlikely to happen.

Katsuju.

Several carriages slowly drove into the city gates.

Lin Yong lifted the curtain and said to Lin Wanru: "Miss, it is said that the Holy Sect here is in serious trouble, why don't we go back to Beijing first?" ”

Lin Wanru thought for a while and said, "Let's take a look first, it's the last state anyway......"

"Okay!" Lin Yong responded and said, "Then I'll find a place to rest first......

Liuzhou.

Ruoqing had already given birth to a child two days ago, and the mother and child were safe.

In addition to his younger sister, Li Duan has another younger brother.

Li Yi also received a letter from Xu Lao a few days ago, he and Tian Lao were already on the way, and they would arrive in a few days.

At this time, it was the twenty-eighth year of the Zheng Yuan of Qi, May.

The eldest prince exterminated the holy religious bandits in the Gyeonggi region, and his prestige grew, and the third prince temporarily took charge of the throne and established his prestige in the court.

In the deep palace, the emperor of Qi had just taken medicine and slept in the palace.

Half an hour later, a bell rang in the middle of the night.

In the twenty-eighth year of the reign of Qi State, on the night of May 13, the emperor collapsed in the Wanhua Palace.

Overnight, there was an earthquake all over Beijing!
