In the Heavenly Palace, the emperor was originally lying on the dragon bed on his side, when Ling Xia and Lu Zhu Weng came in, the emperor actually got up and walked down the dragon bed, and came to Lu Zhu Weng, the emperor took the gift of his disciple and gave a salute to Lu Zhu Weng: "The student has visited the teacher, for more than 30 years, the teacher's voice is the same, and the student is envious." ”

"Emperor, please get up, the old man once said that the emperor is the ninety-five supreme, and you must not lose your identity, even though you and I have a teacher-student relationship, but the king of heaven and earth is a teacher, the king is above the teacher, you want to worship, and the old decay worships you." Lu Zhuweng's voice was crisp and loud, and when the words fell, he really saluted the emperor.

"This old pedant is really a nerd." After commenting, Ling Xia also followed suit, and after the emperor ordered the exemption from the courtesy, Ling Xia and Luzhu Weng got up and sat on the chair next to them, Ling Xia secretly guessed the emperor's intentions tonight.

Perhaps seeing the doubts in Ling Xia's heart, after the two of them sat down, the emperor didn't say too much to greet, and directly said the purpose of summoning the two of them here tonight: "Zhu Weng is my mentor, and the horse is my son-in-law, and they are both my closest people, so I have something to entrust you two with tonight."

On the surface, the forbidden city is peaceful at this time, but in fact, there is already tension behind the scenes, Peng Tiangang has been drawn by the second child, and the national abbot also chose to support the fourth child at the instigation of the queen.

Although Zhen Guogong ostensibly supports the crown prince, I know that with the current strength of the crown prince, he can't control Zhen Guogong at all, and the reason why he stands in the prince's camp is nothing more than to use the current situation to weaken the military power and strength of Peng Tiangang and Nangong Xiongba.

Once Zhenguo Gong weakens the strength of Peng Tiangang and Nangong Xiongba, he will use force to empty the prince, although the eighth is the prince's person, but he lost Peng Tiangang and Nangong Xiongba, and he is not an opponent of winning the sky at all.

My sons are not worry-free, the second child has the support of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, and now with Peng Tiangang's help, even if I set up a book of succession, I am afraid they will not be convinced, I am alive for the time being, but once I am gone, they will inevitably force the palace to seize power.

In addition to the second child, the fourth child is also not at ease, the entire imperial capital is the world of the Praetorian Guard, in other words, the world of the Nangong family, if the fourth child borrows the power of the Nangong family to usurp the throne, they can repeat the change of Hongdemen at any time.

Just this afternoon, the second child went out of the palace to meet Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, under the suggestion of Zhuge Yiyan, the second child promoted Qiuluobei, if I expected it to be good, the second child will be Zhuge Yiyan and Qiuluobei as his right-hand man in the future.

Zhuge doesn't need to say much, he is the first person to be a courtier, with unparalleled wisdom and scheming. He is difficult to deal with in his own right, coupled with a resourceful Qiu Luobei, the second child is indeed qualified to compete with the prince with the help of these two people.

The second child was busy looking for helpers, and the fourth child was not idle, he first entered the palace today to greet the queen, and after leaving, he went to the mansion of Nangong Xiongba, it seems that the fourth child is also going to participate in this battle for succession.

If Guozhang and Nangong Xiongba join the battle for the heir, the situation in this forbidden city may change rapidly, and the fourth and Nangong Xiongba can control the imperial capital in an instant, even if all the surrounding war guards come to support, it will be too late at that time.

The prince has a good temperament and a pure temperament, and I am worried that he will not be able to cope with those people, so I specially invited you two tonight, and I entrust the prince to the two of you, hoping that you two can assist the prince and make him a generation of wise kings. I'm thankful for that. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor was about to get up and salute again, seeing this, Ling Xia hurriedly supported the emperor: "The emperor must not be like this, since the emperor has an order, how dare the son-in-law disobey, don't worry, I will definitely assist the prince well, and never let those powerful ministers dominate the court." ”

"That's right." At this time, Luzhu Weng also expressed his position: "The old man is about to die, and he didn't want to participate in the court dispute, but the emperor has this trust, and the old man doesn't dare to shirk it, just since the emperor trusts the old man, then the old man will assist the prince." ”

"Yuanji, Zhu Weng and the horse have promised to assist you, Wen has the Heavenly Demon Green Bamboo, Wu has the first warrior, and with the help of the two of them, I am also relieved." After speaking, the emperor instructed the crown prince: "Be diligent and considerate, be considerate of the people, and when you encounter troubles, you must ask for more advice, and you must not be blindly impulsive, let alone arrogant and arbitrary." ”

"The child must remember his father's teachings and strive to be a prosperous monarch." The prince assured solemnly.

Hearing the prince's promise, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and after a little thought, he asked Lu Zhu Weng: "Zhu Weng, the current situation is volatile, does Zhu Weng have a plan to stabilize the prince's position?" Let him succeed to the throne smoothly? ”

After hearing this, Luzhu Weng stroked his beard, frowned slightly, and said: "Peng Tiangang is better, Zhuge Yiyan and they don't hurt for the time being, the only tricky thing is the Nangong family, the national abbot Nangong Hongru is a military advisor, military strategy, government affairs and diplomacy, he knows everything."

Even Zhenguo Gong Yingtian does not want to be his enemy, Nangong Hongru is better if he is a wall-watcher, I am afraid that he will point his fingers at the four princes, once he signals the Praetorian Guards to block the imperial capital, there will be nothing to be done at that time, for today's plan, we can only play a trick to draw salary.

Let's make a fuss about Peng Tiangang's rebellion, tomorrow morning, the emperor can give an order, order the prince to lead troops to exterminate the traitors, Peng Tiangang has hoarded 10 million soldiers and horses, and the emperor can send the war guards of the nine major territories around the imperial capital to go out.

The nine territories around the imperial capital are the territories of the nine princes, and nearly one million war guards have been hoarded in each territory, and the nine territories add up to nine million soldiers and horses.

Today's Hongdemen incident has spread all over the world, the emperor at this juncture to withdraw the Praetorian Guard, no one will think too much, and dare to think more, after the soldiers and horses are assembled, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will lead those people to leave the imperial capital and go to the border to confront Peng Tiangang. ”

"Wonderful, that's a great plan." When the emperor heard this, there was a hint of brilliance in his eyes: "The Praetorian Guard and the soldiers and horses of the Nine Great Princes have all gone to the border, and the threat of the Nangong family to the imperial capital no longer exists."

After a period of confrontation, I am recalling Yuan Ji back to the palace, and at that time, I will not be afraid that the Nangong family will use the Praetorian Guard to blockade the imperial capital, and I will not have to worry about the second and fourth children using their own private soldiers to make trouble, wonderful, wonderful. ”

Not only did the emperor and the crown prince praise Luzhu Weng's plan, but even after Ling Xia figured out the reason, he was also shocked, and looked at Luzhu Weng meaningfully, Ling Xia secretly muttered in his heart: "This old guy is so powerful, maybe?" He had a fight with the previous Mr. Dongfang. ”
