Chapter 307: The Inner Thoughts of the Three Kings

Just when Ji Qian, Cui Jingsheng and Empress Cui were conspiring in the palace, the three kings also gathered in Ji Wen's study and were discussing the defeat of Li Muzhi's army.

Regarding the news of Li Muzhi's defeat and the fact that the army was absorbed by Ji Qingchen and all sent to Ningzhou, the three kings knew that the Tao was earlier than Empress Cui and Cui Jingsheng, because they had a close relationship with Ji Qingchen.

It's just that the three kings were not sure about the outcome between the two when Li Muzhi sent out his troops. Therefore, when Li Muzhi's army was defeated, they were also surprised when they received the news. I was surprised that Li Muzhi was ruined because of this battle, and Ji Qingchen's strength.

That's why there will be this study gathering, but in fact, the three of them have no bottom in their hearts, and they don't have the confidence to face Ji Qingchen under the city.

It was one thing to cooperate with Ji Qingchen before, because after all, the four of them were on the same level, and they were cornered by Ji Qian and Queen Cui, but now it is different, the three kings have monopoly power and are in a high position as regents, and Ji Qingchen defeated Li Muzhi's soldiers under the king's landing city, and the identities of the two sides are already different. The current Three Kings themselves are not clear.

And what is the relationship with Ji Qingchen, what do you want to do this time Ji Qingchen returns to King's Landing City? This is what the Three Kings have to consider. Therefore, everyone dealt with Ji Qian at the same time because of the throne, and Ji Qian was too powerful before, so they joined forces, and there were four kings to discuss politics. Now that they have adapted to this situation, they like the power in their hands very much, and if Ji Qingchen returns to King's Landing City and then takes back the power in their hands, they are absolutely unwilling.

The atmosphere in the study was a little awkward, the second prince Ji Ping, the third prince Ji Hongchang and the fourth prince Ji Wen were silent, and no one was willing to open their mouths to pierce this layer of paper.

The three of them have their own thoughts in their hearts, and they also have their own considerations.

After all, just like Cui Jingsheng's analysis of Queen Cui, there are their own interest groups standing behind the three kings, that is, the three kings want to give up fighting for power and profit, and they are not happy. Because they have invested a lot in the three kings, and they have not yet reaped the benefits, how can they give up?

After sitting like this for a long time, the second prince Ji Ping finally spoke.

"Li Muzhi's army was defeated, what do you think?" Ji Ping's eyes were fixed on the faces of Ji Hongchang and Ji Wen, and he asked with a serious expression. He knew that both of them had ideas in their hearts, but if he didn't open his mouth, the two of them would definitely not speak, so they would take the initiative to ask this question.

"I didn't expect Lao Jiu to be so able to fight, this is beyond my expectations!" Ji Hongchang said.

What is Li Muzhi's identity, Dayan is second only to Bai Jin's existence, the second military god of Dayan's army, and Ji Qingchen is just a young general who defeated Beirong, but he wiped out Li Muzhi's army of more than 200,000 in one battle, and such military exploits are very dazzling everywhere.

Even if Ji Hongchang gave him an army of 300,000, he didn't have the confidence to be able to defeat Li Muzhi, let alone annihilate Li Muzhi's army?

But Ji Qingchen did it, which had to make him look at Ji Qingchen again.

"Actually, Lao Jiu was able to defeat Li Muzhi, this is obvious, but I didn't expect Li Muzhi to be defeated so quickly." Ji Wen opened his mouth and said, he seemed to be thinking deeply, "But Lao Jiu sent 200,000 Northern Liao troops to Ningzhou, and only brought 100,000 Beirong iron horsemen to the south of King's Landing City, this courage really makes me admire!" ”

If Ji Qingchen really led an army of 300,000 to King's Landing City south, it is estimated that everyone in King's Landing City would have to submit to his soldiers. But he didn't do this, he only brought 100,000 iron cavalry, and 100,000 iron cavalry did not have an advantage at all compared with the 260,000 army of the three kings.

Therefore, Ji Qingchen was able to make such a decision, which really made Ji Wen admire.

Because from this point, it reflects that Ji Qingchen has a lot of confidence in himself, and how confident he is in himself and the 100,000 iron horsemen.

"I'm not afraid of Li Mu's defeat, I'm afraid that Li Muzhi deliberately released water!" Ji Ping said worriedly, "If this is the case, the problem will be big, and Li Muzhi can willingly compromise with Lao Jiu and ruin his reputation to pave the way for Lao Jiu, I am afraid there will be a lot of articles here." ”

Or Ji Ping said to the point, Ji Ping had an in-depth understanding of Li Muzhi, and he believed that if Li Muzhi really wanted to fight Ji Qingchen to the death, the army of more than 200,000 people would not be defeated by Ji Qingchen so quickly, and it would be completely annihilated. Therefore, Ji Ping guessed that it might be that Ji Qingchen had some ulterior secret, and persuaded Li Muzhi to let Li Muzhi release the water and let Ji Qingchen decide the battle.

As for what secret can make Li Muzhi willingly pave the way for Ji Qingchen, Ji Ping thought about it for a long time, and then thought of one thing, that is, Emperor Yan went to the Northern Liao Palace, and he felt that the reason why Ji Qingchen let Li Muzhi destroy his reputation to pave the way for himself may have something to do with Emperor Yan's trip to the Northern Liao Palace.

But this is Ji Ping's own analysis, and he was not sure before the problem was clarified, so he didn't tell Ji Hongchang and Ji Wen before.

Now the situation is different, he saw that the two of them did not get any suspicious conclusions about Li Muzhi's defeat, so he expressed his conjecture.

When Ji Ping said his analysis, the three princes Ji Hongchang and Ji Wen were also silent. Because when Ji Ping said this analysis, they naturally knew very well the meaning of Ji Ping's analysis. What is the reason why Li Muzhi can make such a big sacrifice, besides the Xinjun issue? Because only Xinjun's energy will make Li Muzhi's sacrifice so great, because as long as Li Muzhi sacrifices, with Xinjun's support, he will also get greater benefits.

The three of them worked hard to manage it, and what did they unite to deal with Ji Qian for? Isn't it for the battle for the throne?

Now that the three of them are about to praise Ji Qian, they are going to go their own way, and when they sprint for the throne, Ji Qingchen appeared in the roadblock, and the three of them were naturally uncomfortable.

"According to the second brother, what should I do if I'm busy?" The third prince, Ji Hongchang, asked, seemingly not in high spirits.

Indeed, if it weren't for the relationship with the Liu family, with the support of the Liu family, he would rather lead the troops to fight and live a chic life on horseback, he likes the battlefield, he doesn't like politics, he likes the feeling of galloping on horseback, and he doesn't like the boring life of trapping himself in a chair.

"Does the second brother have anything to say? Our brothers have been together for so long, we all know each other very well who we are, and if the second brother has anything to say, just say it! "Ji Ping is very happy, he has the best relationship with Ji Qingchen, so he has the least resistance to Ji Qingchen to King's Landing, even if Ji Qingchen is the emperor of Dayan, he believes that he will get more rewards, so he is very calm in this matter, and he has the least thoughts.

"If Lao Jiu returns to King's Landing City, in order to stabilize the situation, we can help him, and we can let him participate in the government instead of Ji Qian." Ji Ping thought about it, and then said what he had already thought of in his heart, "If he has another purpose, he wants to use some people and some forces to try to do wrong, I don't think the three of us can sit idly by." ”

Seeing that the two did not make a statement, Ji Ping, who paused for a moment, continued, "After all, Lao Jiu seems to have only brought 100,000 iron horsemen into King's Landing City this time, but behind him are Northern Liao and Beirong, and he wants to transfer another 200,000 or 300,000 troops, and the conditions of Beiliao and Beirong are not a problem." ”

"The design of Dayan is related to this matter, and it is related to the stability of Dayan, we can't help but guard against it!" Ji Ping said with a sigh.

"Second brother, if you have any thoughts in your heart, just say it directly!" Seeing that Ji Ping said so tactfully, Ji Hongchang on the side couldn't stand it a little, so he asked.

Just like Ji Wen said, the three of them have been together for so long, and they are very clear about their respective hearts, so as soon as Ji Ping opened his mouth, Ji Hongchang and Ji Wen both knew his thoughts, so they would let Ji Hongchang say this.

Ahem!

Ji Ping, who wanted to be more tactful, heard Ji Ping's words, his expression was very embarrassed, but he coughed softly a few times, and he still said, "I mean that when Lao Jiu arrives outside the King's Landing, let Lao Jiu go out to talk to him, see what his attitude is, and ask Lao Jiu's opinion, what we mean is that let him replace Lao Ba in charge of the government and continue to implement the Four Kings Discussion, if he agrees, we will support him, if he disagrees and wants to continue to fight with us, then for the stability of Dayan, we must not tolerate him messing around." ”

What Ji Ping meant by this was that they were willing to give Ji Qingchen a decentralization and let Ji Qingchen participate in politics instead of Ji Qian, but if Ji Qingchen wanted to ascend the throne and become emperor, they would never allow it.

To put it bluntly, I still don't want to give up the power in my hands, and I want to make a deal with Ji Qingchen, but the people who sacrificed here are Ji Qian, Queen Cui and Cui Jingsheng.

"I have no opinion, it's okay to talk to Lao Jiu, I know what he thinks in his heart, so we can cooperate better!" Ji Hongchang thought about it and agreed to Ji Ping's suggestion, moved his gaze to Ji Wen and asked, "I don't know what the fourth brother of Lu Dao means?" ”

He asked this to ask Ji Wen if he wanted to go.

Ji Wen naturally has no objections, he is even happier if he can divide the power in his hands, so why not do it?

So he nodded slightly and said, "No problem! As long as Lao Jiu arrives in King's Landing, I'll go talk to him! ”

He knew that because he had a deep relationship with Ji Qingchen, Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang would let him talk to Ji Qingchen and let him be this bad guy. He thought of this, but he couldn't help it, because the three of them were still in the alliance, and he had to go for the sake of the three of them.

Seeing that Ji Wen agreed, Ji Ping, who was still asking Ji Wen because he asked Ji Wen to be a bad guy and was afraid that Ji Wen would not agree, breathed a sigh of relief. Because he did this to prevent Ji Qingchen from ascending the throne and becoming emperor.

And the three of them reached an agreement on Ji Qingchen's question very harmoniously this time, so the atmosphere in the study was much more harmonious. They talked about some details and then dispersed.

When Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang left, Ji Wen, who was sitting quietly in the study, had a faint smile on his face, if this smile was seen by Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang, they would definitely not let Ji Wen talk to Ji Qingchen after he arrived in King's Landing, because there were too many things in Ji Wen's smile that they didn't want to see.
