As Yang Zhi and Ye Chuang said, he was sure that the heart of the prince and his group also had the courage of thieves, but the hearts of thieves were far from ruthless enough, and the courage of thieves was not big enough.

Since ancient times, an emperor who ascended to the throne through abnormal means, and the infinite scenery of success is full of bloody wind and rain. The crown prince was out of deep fear of the loss of his throne, so he did not hesitate to throw his sword and go sideways. Relying on the support of the powerful forces of the veteran warriors in Guanzhong and Jincheng and the conservative Wenchen in the DPRK, the gathering of Wei Su, Zhao Tianyang, Shen Zhong and others as thugs is barely enough.

The fault of the princely clique is that because of its serious lack of confidence in its own strength, it actually fantasizes about coming to power through a relatively mild bloodless coup. The mistake is that they forgot that history has always been written by the victors, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin had no mercy in the Xuanwumen Change? The "glorious" deeds of killing his brother, slaughtering his brother, and forcing his father did not fall, but it did not affect his reputation as an emperor through the ages. The mistake is that the prince was originally a chairman with insufficient confidence and indecision, and he also hired the naïve Wei Su as the general manager.

The fact that the bloody battle in the desert and the violent death of the Tuodu Khan brothers in the same night are enough to prove Yang Zhi's invincible bravery, and the prince has personally experienced this person's cruelty and treachery more than once. The prince has formed such a deep-rooted concept in his heart: there is nothing in this world that he Yang Zhi dare not do, and there is no person he dare not move!

The 10,000 heavy horsemen put on a majestic posture made the prince feel breathless. Yang Zhi's words squeezed him, and he fell into an embarrassing dilemma. At the moment, his mind was racing, fortunately, Yang Zhi was not the person of King Ning and King Kang, it was better than Geng Chao to lead the troops. Anyway, the emperor's father has become a waste, and the only way to do this is to swallow his anger and let him run rampant for a while. After surviving this hurdle and returning to Chang, that is the world of this prince! King Ning and King Kang are far away in Suizhou and Youzhou respectively, and the fifth brother King Yue is still a milky child. I'm seated on the dragon chair in the Golden Palace!

When the prince thought of this, he felt a little relieved. Staring at Yang Zhi and gritting his teeth, he asked: "Flying Tiger Hou, as the saying goes, the body is not afraid of shadows, in your opinion, how can I prove my innocence?" ”

Yang Zhi replied: "The most powerful witness who can prove His Royal Highness the Prince's innocence is undoubtedly the emperor." ”

The prince scoffed: "Ridiculous! If the father and emperor can still see things, how can those shameless rats who are intent on being punished have the opportunity to spread rumors and make trouble? Now that my father is seriously ill and can't speak, and even needs someone to serve him all the time for his daily diet and daily life, you are clearly making it difficult for me to say this. ”

When the prince talked about the emperor's current situation, his eyes were determined, not without sadness, but with a faint sense of complacency. Yang Zhi had already been fully mentally prepared for the emperor's illness, and he still couldn't help but feel cold. Shaking his head and laughing: "Why did the prince say this? You are the heir to the prince of the emperor's golden book, and today you temporarily occupy the position of the prince, and you will be the honor of the Ninety-Five on the other day. The minister is a very popular minister because of the love of the emperor because of his ancestor Jidemeng, although he was born and died several times for Daxia, he could not repay the emperor's kindness in case, how could he be disrespectful to the prince? How dare you embarrass the prince? ”

The prince knew that what he said would never be credible, but it finally sounded much more pleasant. Dengshi's face turned slightly pale, and he snorted coldly: "I hope you are the one with your heart." ”

"Prince Mingjian." Yang Zhi said with a straight face: "Weichen has heard such a sentence: people are doing it, and the sky is watching!" The so-called three feet above the head has a god, and the micro-ministers do everything by heart, and have never been intentionally aimed at anyone. ”

The prince's slightly relaxed heart made him jump up again, and he changed the topic and said: "Shuo Feng Ye Da, you and I don't need to bother to be frozen here." Just tell me what you want! ”

Yang Zhilian bluffed and grinded with him for a long time, waiting for this sentence: "It's very simple." First, Weichen is entrusted by the ministers and must go to the dragon to meet the emperor in person. As long as it is found out that the emperor's illness is indeed consistent with what the prince said, it can at least be preliminarily proved that it is not a one-sided statement concocted by the prince to deceive the public. ”

Do you "know a little bit about medicine"? The emperor's father still cares about his own life, and he named the imperial doctor to accompany him, all of whom are among the top masters in the Tai Hospital. Not to mention that they are all people who have been fed by this prince, in terms of medical treatment alone, are you better than them, and what other clues can you see?

The prince does not have the ability to cover the sky with one hand, and it is still far from the classic of arbitrary power that refers to the deer as a horse. If you can't stop Yang Zhi now, even after returning to Chang'an, you can't stop the important ministers and nobles from visiting the saint. I can't cover it sooner or later, and there's no need for that, so it's better to be generous: "It's not difficult to do this, the Flying Tiger Marquis will be able to meet his father later." ”

"Second, it is said that the emperor has been sick for a month since Luzhou, and after a long journey and no mountain collapse, it shows that the emperor's dragon body is vigorous. Great Xia is a multi-talented person, among which there are many apricot forest masters Qi Huang Holy Hand. After escorting the emperor back to Changchang, he will definitely look for good doctors for diagnosis and treatment. If it can be confirmed that the emperor is not caused by artificial medicine, but angelism, wouldn't the prince be a little less suspicious? If God bless my emperor can be healed by the dragon body, then the rumors will be even more self-defeating. Therefore, the crown prince should avoid suspicion now, and everything such as the escort of the chief of Tongguan and the emperor's daily food and daily life will be taken over by Weichen immediately. ”

The prince is even more afraid of this. The two imperial doctors made it clear to the prince that the emperor's symptoms of "true yang decay, yin and yang deficiency" were true.

Until now, he has not died, and the serious illness of the wind evil has long been terminally ill, causing him to be unconscious, if you want to "heal the dragon body", it is simply a fool's dream! The lives of the two imperial doctors were pinched in the hands of the prince, and they didn't dare to say a word! It is said that people have seven spirits, and the emperor has gone to six, and you say that you want to take over the past, and I am desperate! In case the emperor doesn't survive for long, not only does it have nothing to do with this prince, but the head on your Yang Zhi's neck is not very reliable, right?

"If God blesses Father Emperor Dragon's body to heal, the Flying Tiger Marquis's work is comparable to recreating Great Xia! Well, I agreed to this verse. ”

"Third, for the same reason, the emperor Luan, the crown prince and the accompanying civil servants can all enter the customs first, but the 20,000 escort soldiers can only temporarily accept some grievances and be stationed outside Tongguan City on standby. Until the holy driver and the prince return to the elder, after the prince and several important ministers of the state of the state are discussed, the decision will be made on where to move the teacher. ”

The prince has no roots in the military, and Shen Zhong is a descendant general that he has cultivated with great difficulty. The 20,000 escort soldiers and horses led by Shen Zhong are the only little capital that the prince can really see and touch. The crown prince originally thought that everything such as Yang Zhimiansheng's visit to the sick or taking over the escort and the emperor's daily food and daily life was actually insignificant. His wishful thinking was to first aggrieved and seek to stabilize Yang Zhi, bring 20,000 soldiers and horses into Chang, and Wei Su cooperated with Zhang Tianxing to suppress and contain the few forbidden troops stationed in Beijing, plus Zhao Tianyang's 3,000 inner court guards, it was more than enough to control Chang'an City. At that time, no matter how strong and untamable Yang Zhi and Geng Chao are, are they still afraid that they will not obey?

But now Yang Zhi actually wants to leave 20,000 escort soldiers and horses outside Tongguan City, isn't it equivalent to an unarmed person surrounded by tigers and wolves? What's the difference with being under house arrest? Even if you go back to life, how can you have a moment to sleep peacefully at night?

What kind of little Jiujiu does the prince have in his heart, if Yang Zhi can't think of it, wouldn't he be worthy of the reputation of the word "treacherous"? Every word is closely related to the lord of "refuting rumors and avoiding suspicion", and it sounds like everything is selfless for the sake of the prince, and he is trapped step by step. Yang Zhi actually gave the prince a judgment question, of course, he was unwilling to tick the box, and there was no sufficient reason to put it on the table. The slightest gaffe will show the fox's tail and confirm the accusations against him by "rumors". What's more, since Yang Zhi has put on such a formation, it means that this guy is not afraid of your crossing!

In this chaos of talents, the prince's strategy and intelligence are not outstanding, and he is not a straw bag. If you follow Yang Zhi's topic, it is undoubtedly very stupid.

The two of them have been pulling in the biting cold wind for a long time, Yang Zhi is full of energy and talking and laughing, although the prince has suffered a lot of sins on this expedition, but he has never tasted such a cold taste under deep worry, and his face is faintly pale with blue.

I saw that the prince suddenly seemed to cough up a violent cough from the lobes of his lungs, followed by several exaggerated sneezes in succession, and then changed to Yang Zhi with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and his voice suddenly raised an octave, which sounded particularly poignant in this wilderness: "Flying Tiger Marquis!" My loyalty and filial piety to my father and emperor are worthy of heaven, man and god, in order to take care of the overall situation of peace and harmony between the monarchs and ministers in the whole Great Xia, how can you be so advanced? It's okay for you to humiliate me, and it doesn't matter if I am a little wronged. But the 20,000 soldiers led by General Shen first won the first battle to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then had the work of loyal protection. Let's say anything, if you dare to let the escort soldiers suffer the slightest grievance, I will never agree! ”

Yang Zhi sneered in his heart and couldn't help but secretly praise: The prince's counterattack is really beautiful! The three tricks of meat scheme, stealing the concept, and transferring the contradiction are interlocking, and there is no trace of almost perfection. Asked if he had figured out who was playing with him now?

The 20,000 escort soldiers were the vanguard troops under the emperor's personal transfer from the forbidden army to Shen Chong, and it was they who started the first battle against the Southern Tang Dynasty.

After the destruction of the Tang Dynasty, he was accepted by the emperor as a pro-army, and he was in the limelight in front of local officials and many hundreds along the way. The emperor governed the army very strictly, rewarded and punished twice, and the prince in order to grasp this trump card elite for his own use, is to do his best to "forgiveness and benevolence", in contrast, it is easier to buy people's hearts, in fact, it has also achieved great results, and the escort soldiers are all grateful to the prince and wholeheartedly support.

The 20,000 escort soldiers were already proud of their achievements and a little arrogant, and they were courteous and courteous along the way, but they were blocked by Yang Zhi in the ice and snow when they were about to arrive at the door, and many people had already complained, only because of Yang Zhi's prestige and did not dare to talk more. was fanned by the prince's words of "deep understanding of righteousness", it was like throwing a fire into a large pile of dry firewood, and the crowd was furious and shouted: "...... What exactly did the prince commit? Why don't you let us in? Is there a royal law in your eyes? …… If anyone dares to be rude to the prince, it depends on whether our sword agrees or not! ”

Shen Zhong approached and looked at Yang Zhi and said, "Flying Tiger Marquis, you know that the emperor is seriously ill, but you still don't take the prince in your eyes, it can't be an intention to rebel, right?" If not, I advise you to leave anything you have until after the army is brought in! ”

Trick me into play? You're in the water! Yang Zhi shook his head pitifully at the stupid brother-in-law, and suddenly got on the horse and shouted with a hideous face: "The prince did not insist on going his own way and did not listen to the advice, but instead instigated the guards to make a rebellion, and the father's usurpation and rebellion have been revealed!" Anyone who obeys orders will be punished as traitors and thieves! ”
