Han Qian does not have the ability to predict the future, and at the same time, the historical trajectory has changed a lot, but what he has spent most painstakingly in the past two years is what Emperor Tianyou wants to do and what Emperor Tianyou can do in the situation he is facing.

Unlike the later dynasties with a stable ruling system, the founding time of Great Chu was still short, the civil servants were weak, and the tradition of military generals arbitrarily exercising power has not been reversed.

Even if Emperor Tianyou has no intention of changing the crown prince, and even at this time, it is more likely that he will pin his hopes on the grandson, and it is only a bubble that King Xin and the three princes can finally get their hands on it, but they must first solve the possibility that after his death, Da Chu will be replaced by the Xu family.

It's just too complicated and tricky to solve this problem.

Emperor Tianyou was confident in his body, but Xu Mingzhen was even more young and strong at this time.

Xu Mingzhen was originally the son of the Guangling Jiedu envoy, and after quelling the internal rebellion in Guangling, he did not succeed the Jiedu envoy, but joined his brother-in-law who was the Huainan Jiedu envoy at that time.

What's more, in addition to the mutual assistance of ministers such as Niu Gengru in the court, Shouzhou has the most elite 100,000 soldiers and horses in Great Chu.

Even though the strategic position of Jingxiang and Chuzhou has become increasingly prominent, Shouzhou is still the mainstay of resisting the southern invasion of Qiangliang.

The Shouzhou army was mainly based on the generals and children of the Guangling system back then, and in the current situation, Emperor Tianyou did not dare to take the risk of trying to relieve Xu Mingzhen of his military power.

If Xu Mingzhen is not relieved of his military power, it is even more difficult to directly depose the crown prince.

And Empress Xu and Emperor Tianyou of the Anning Palace have supported each other for so many years, so they expect the prince to ascend the throne smoothly in the future, and Emperor Tianyou will put Empress Xu into the cold palace before deposing the prince by the way?

At this time, the external troubles faced by Great Chu, in addition to the Liang State in the north and the Shu Kingdom in the west, there were also the forces of Wang Gongyan in the southeast who were crowned the queen of Fujian in the previous dynasty and seized Fujian, and the forces of Liu Qian, the envoy of the Qing Navy in the south.

In the case of many contradictions such as internal and external troubles, no matter how optimistic Emperor Tianyou is, and no matter how firm Emperor Tianyou's will is, Yang Yuanpu, the third prince at this time, is actually not qualified to replace the crown prince.

Forcing it can only cause Da Chu's fragile internal and external balance to collapse.

The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the contradictions are also prioritized.

At the moment, it is impossible for Emperor Tianyou to rush to eradicate the Xu family, who is safe and self-serving, and works hard for Dachu.

And after the Feng family, to pick a heavier weight than the Feng family, but not so dangerous that it would make the situation of Da Chu out of his control, there is really no better goal than Tanzhou - to solve the problem of Tanzhou, Emperor Tianyou will have the foundation to solve the Xu family.

From Jingxiang to Jinling, Han Qian passed through Guishan, and when he met Wenrui, he turned around and left, knowing that as long as Emperor Tianyou had spare strength, he would give priority to solving the remaining problems in Tanzhou.

In the Jingxiang War, Da Chu seemed to have suffered a big loss, but the purge and co-optation of some of the local forces in Jingxiang actually made Jinling not worry about what chaos would happen to Jingxiang in the north when using troops against Tanzhou.

In the first battle of Jingxiang, Tanzhou Jiedu made the prince Ma Xun lead 5,000 Tanzhou troops to be killed, and also pierced the false appearance of the strong combat power of the Tanzhou army.

Taking the Feng family as a knife, on the one hand, alleviates the embarrassment of the shortage of money and food in the treasury and the inability to use troops, and on the other hand, Han Qian thinks that Emperor Tianyou takes the Feng family to open the knife, which is also a test of Emperor Tianyou to all forces in the DPRK and China.

The silence of the Anning Palace and the Xinwang family in the Imperial Tomb case, and even the painless participation in the impeachment of Feng Wenlan, should make Emperor Tianyou's control of the situation more confident.

Therefore, Han Qian speculated that the next problem that Emperor Tianyou would solve was Tanzhou, which was undoubted.

However, Han Qian's guess that Emperor Tianyou would hand over this position to the Three Princes and the Dragon Bird Army was completely in line with Emperor Tianyou's thoughts.

Mr. Bai Shi Zheng Chang was used to preside over the trial of the Imperial Tomb collapse case, and let the County Prince's Mansion take such a big advantage in the Imperial Tomb case, and took the three princes into the palace every three forks, and at this time, he summoned himself to deliberately call Niu Gengru and Wen Duqiao to see, no matter what aspect it is, the signal released by Emperor Tianyou is to change the three princes as the successors.

Of course, Han Qian didn't think that things were really that simple, at least he felt that in Emperor Tianyou's heart, he hadn't really finalized who the successor would be at this time, but since Emperor Tianyou had released signals either explicitly or implicitly, that he wanted to replace the third prince as his successor, then as a courtier, if he didn't follow Emperor Tianyou's thoughts, did he have to behave smarter than Emperor Tianyou?

If that's the case, isn't he stupid?

Since the signal released by Emperor Tianyou is to change the Three Princes, as the number one strategist around the Three Princes, he naturally has to follow this line of thought to speculate on Emperor Tianyou's mind with joy, so that he is a good chess piece, and even if he guesses wrong, Emperor Tianyou will only like him, not dislike him.

And returning to the idea of abolishing the heirs, changing the three princes, with the prestige of the three princes in the bloody battle of Xichuan and the power of the lineage condensed by the county prince's mansion at this time, is far from enough.

If the three princes can lead the dragon bird army to calm the situation in Tanzhou, it will undoubtedly lay a better foundation for the solution of follow-up problems, which seems logical.

Hearing Shen He's shock that his hands fell to the ground, Han Qian still knelt down in front of the imperial case without moving, his eyes staring at the smooth and shiny paved brick floor, he knew very well in his heart that this did not prove that he had guessed the hidden thoughts in Emperor Tianyou's heart, it could only prove that the signal released by Emperor Tianyou to the closest people around him was indeed so.

"You raise your head," Yang Mi said in a deep voice, his sharp and deep old eyes stared at Han Qian, and only after a while did he say, "Even if Tanzhou is a big trouble in the hearts of widows, how should you plan it?" ”

Han Qian sneered in his heart, secretly thinking, what are you thinking in your heart, what are you trying, no one can really guess, who can give you a truly satisfactory answer to this question?

Han Qian pondered for a while, and finally said stubbornly, "Your Majesty has already made up your mind, and Weichen doesn't dare to talk nonsense." ”

"Say." Yang Mi didn't want to play a game of cat and mouse with Han Qian at this time, so he said in an accentuated tone.

Han Qian said, "Please forgive your majesty, Han Qian thought that he suddenly made a move on Tanzhou, and the outcome was unpredictable." However, His Royal Highness's qualifications are still shallow, not enough to take charge of Jingxiang's military administration, and it is difficult to complete the military deployment of Tanzhou in a short period of time. This is Wei Chen's humble opinion, and at the same time, he is stupid and can't guess His Majesty's strategy, and his heart is really confused. ”

This time, if the Feng family was confiscated, five or six million yuan of money was obtained, and even after making up for this year's lack of military funds, there would still be two or three million yuan left, which would be enough for a large-scale war, and then the war would never be a gathering of thirty or fifty thousand people who could immediately fight a battle and then divide the victory and defeat.

Yes, Han Qian followed the signal released by Emperor Tianyou and guessed that this important task would be entrusted to the Three Princes and the Dragon Bird Army, but the practical difficulties decided that this heavy task was not something that the Three Princes and the Dragon Bird Army could bear at this time.

Ma Xun was killed by the Liang army in Zaoyang, with 5,000 Tanzhou reinforcements, and in the end less than 2,000 people survived to the end, but this does not mean that the Tanzhou army is vulnerable.

Ma Xun was defeated because he had no intention of defending Zaoyang at all, and he hoped that the Liang army would let the Tanzhou army return at that time, but he was caught off guard and suffered a unilateral massacre by the heavy armored cavalry of the Liang army.

It's not so much that the combat effectiveness of the Tanzhou soldiers and horses is weak, it's not that Ma Xun, who was the commander of the Tanzhou soldiers at that time, was too stupid.

At this time, Da Chu is not popular with the people, whether it is the blood of Emperor Tianyou before the Jingxiang escape, or this time to take the Ma family, it will make the Tanzhou family headed by the Ma family deeply vigilant, so that Ma Yin, Ma Xun father and son are bound to hand over Tanzhou It is unlikely, but if you really want to use troops to attack Tanzhou, whether the Tanzhou army is still so vulnerable, it is difficult to say?

On the other hand, Tanzhou had less than 20,000 soldiers and horses at this time, but it really had to mobilize and expand the number of soldiers and horses to more than 50,000 in a short time.

Tanzhou controls the core area of Dongting Lake, which has a population of almost two million, and the Ma family has operated in Tanzhou for several generations and has deep roots.

How Jinling really wanted to solve the problem of Tanzhou, and in this process, what position Emperor Tianyou was willing to let the three princes in, and how much he was willing to expand the strength of the Dragon Bird Army and how much role it played in solving the problem of Tanzhou, Han Qian still couldn't really guess the overall plan in Emperor Tianyou's mind in a short period of time.

Since it is difficult to speculate, in Han Qian's opinion, it is better for him to continue to follow Emperor Tianyou's thoughts, and categorically say that Emperor Tianyou's plan will not work.

"So, do you think what the widow thinks in his heart will not work?" Yang Mi stared at Han Qian and asked.

"Wechen is shallow, I can't figure out how to do it?" Han Qian said.

When Shen He saw the scene in front of him, he was somewhat dumbfounded and disappointed, and he couldn't figure out how His Majesty could compete with a hairy boy today? Secretly feeling that no matter how capable Han Qian is, he is only in his early twenties, maybe he can just guess that His Majesty's intentions are just mentioned by his father Han Daoxun in his letter, but if he really wants to take Tanzhou, all the aspects involved are so complicated, how can Han Qian be able to grasp it at this time?

Before the outbreak of the bloody battle of Xichuan, Shen He and Yang En entered Xichuan City on behalf of Emperor Tianyou to supervise the battle, and also saw the huge role played by Han Qian when defending Xichuan, but assisting in the defense of a city from the side, and planning to reduce the power of the Ma family and prevent and suppress the rebellion of the Ma family, are obviously two completely different levels of planning.

Seeing his father's eyes staring at Han Qian like devouring people, Yang Yuanpu was also very surprised in his heart, he didn't know what Han Qian had touched his father's intentions, and it actually made his father, who was in a pretty good mood just now, feel gloomy again at this moment.

The candles in the main hall were burning with beeps and peels, and this special tribute candle emitted a somewhat sweet aroma when burning.

Han Qian lay on the ground doing nothing, smelling this somewhat strange aroma, and couldn't help but wonder if the Anning Palace wanted Emperor Tianyou to burp early, would he find a way to mix some chronic poison into the fire candle used in the Chongwen Palace, and then release it little by little when it was lit?

Thinking of this, Han Qian wanted to escape from the palace and escape from Jinling City as soon as possible.
