When the news that Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang went to Ji Qingchen's Northern Liao Palace, the fourth prince Ji Wen and the eighth prince Ji Qian, reached the ears of the fourth prince Ji Wen and the eighth prince Ji Qian, the two were obviously stunned one by one.

Ji Wen had an indifferent smile on his face, while Ji Qian had a gloomy face.

Ji Wen was fortunate because he had the foresight to reach an agreement with Ji Qingchen earlier and obtain the support of the Northern Liao Metropolitan Governor's Office. And Ji Qian is because Ji Qingchen is now imprisoned, but Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang still value Ji Qingchen so much, and they are not afraid of being blamed by Emperor Yan to see Ji Qingchen, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Uncle, what do you think of Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang going to see Ji Qingchen this time?" Just a moment later, Cui Jingsheng walked into Ji Qian's study, and Ji Qian asked his uncle Cui Jingsheng.

"The two shafts are nothing more than for the military power in Ji Qingchen's hands." Cui Jingsheng said coldly.

He felt that Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang were willing to risk being told by Emperor Yan that they were going to visit Ji Qingchen without permission, which was tantamount to slapping him, which made him very angry, because just after Emperor Yan fell asleep, he and the queen ordered Ji Qingchen to be imprisoned in the palace, but Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang ignored his and the queen's orders and went to visit Ji Qingchen, but no matter what, now Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang are also very powerful, and it is not something that he Cui Jingsheng can fight, so now he is not angry, All that's left is wrath.

"The 400,000 troops of the Northern Liao Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the 200,000 elite cavalry of Beirong, this is enough to turn the tide of strength!" When Ji Qian said this, his eyes shone brightly, and he also coveted these two armies, and muttered to himself, "I don't know which of them will make an agreement with Lao Jiu." ”

"I'm afraid everyone is going to fail!" Cui Jingsheng snorted coldly and said.

"Why would my uncle say that?" Ji asked reverently.

"When Ji Qingchen was not imprisoned before, the four princes went to look for him, and then I thought about the strength of the four princes and Pei Wenju in the meeting of the political hall, it must be because of the support of the army of the Northern Liao Metropolitan Governor's Mansion." Cui Jingsheng analyzed, "This is also what the old man just thought, it was the old man who underestimated Pei Wenju, he really deserved to be a powerful and unparalleled ruler of the country, and he had planned Ji Qingchen's 400,000 army one step earlier." Cui Jingsheng sighed and said, "But that's okay, at least let the second prince and the third prince know that it is the fourth prince who has obtained the 400,000 army in Ji Qingchen's hands, which will make the two of them jealous of the four princes, and it will affect their alliance, and then we can break them one by one." ”

"Yes!" Ji Qian also nodded slightly, "But Lao Jiu is imprisoned in the mansion, and he is still so dishonest, it's time to teach him a lesson." ”

"It's not your business, you better take care of your own business!" Cui Jingsheng said that he was afraid that Ji Qian would do something in private, so he explained, "I heard that there is a conflict between Ji Qingchen and the crown princess and Ji Zhao, so leave this matter to the Shangzhou Wei clan to deal with!" ”

"The crown princess and Ji Zhao?" Ji Qian was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "Are they Ji Qingchen's opponents?" ”

"It's not good to underestimate Ji Zhao, this little rabbit cub is not like the prince Renxiao back then, he is a ruthless lord with a black heart, and the princess is a woman, we can't underestimate it, some time ago she could make Ji Qingchen deflated, we should know that she is powerful, plus Shangzhou Wei's family, it is enough for them to deal with Ji Qingchen." Cui Jingsheng said very firmly.

"I'm afraid it will cost them a little bit, right?" Ji Qian asked.

"Definitely, but now that the four kings are in charge, it doesn't hurt to give Ji Zhao a little power, isn't it even more powerful to have him join us." Cui Jingsheng sneered.

"Uncle, what do you think-" Ji Qian said this, he didn't say anything more, but his face showed a smug look, "Hmph, if Ji Qingchen makes some mistakes at that time, Li Shu, you won't be able to escape from the palm of my hand!" ”

In fact, Ji Qian, who didn't seem to care, has always been worried about the fact that he didn't marry Shu'er.

However, Cui Jingsheng ignored his nephew's thoughts, because he had too many places to manage Ji Qian, and he didn't want to worry about such a small thing.

is different from the dialogue between Ji Qian and Cui Jingsheng, the dialogue between Ji Wen and Pei Wenju in King Lu's mansion is much more profound.

"Prime Minister, do you think the second and third children went to see Lao Jiu, what purpose did they have, not only for the military power in Lao Jiu's hands, right?" Ji Wen asked Pei Wenju, who had already rushed to the palace.

"Your Highness, in fact, with the ability of His Royal Highness the Nine, there are many things on him that are worth fighting for, in addition to military power." Pei Wenju said. Seeing that Ji Wen's eyes seemed to be inquiring, he continued, "For example, the wealth owned by His Royal Highness Jiu, the war horses under his Northern Liao and Beirong, and some generals, we can all fight for it." ”

"Money, horses and generals, does the prime minister want this king to form an army?" Ji Wen looked at Pei Wenju in surprise, a little unable to believe that this scholar who had been in the position of Prime Minister of Dayan for twenty years would have such an idea.

"Other people's things are always someone else's, and only your own things will always be your own!" Pei Wenju sighed and said, "This time we were able to achieve so many benefits at the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall, didn't we rely on the Northern Liao Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?" And likewise our weakness is due to the lack of an army loyal to us. In the past, when His Majesty was in charge, we didn't need the support of the army, as long as His Majesty nodded, we could have anything, but now His Majesty is critically ill, and who can ...... Therefore, it is imperative to form an army that is loyal to us! ”

"The prime minister is right-" Ji Wen pondered for a moment and then nodded, "But the formation of an army is our weakness, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it in a short time!" ”

"It depends on the relationship between His Highness and the Nine Emperor Princes!" Pei Wenju said.

Seeing Ji Wen's blank face, he walked up to Ji Wen and whispered a few words in Ji Wen's ear, making Ji Wen nod uncontrollably, and at the same time a faint smile appeared on his face.

And at this moment, I saw the head of King Lu's mansion hurriedly walked into Ji Wen's study and said to him, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Song and His Royal Highness King Ning have come to the mansion and are in the living room, saying that they want to talk to you about something!" ”

"Huh? The second and third children came to see the king? When Ji Wen heard his housekeeper's words, he was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang, two guys who don't usually look at each other, would walk together and come to find him? Is it to unite against the old eight Ji Qian? Thinking like this, Ji Wen said to the housekeeper, "Zhilu Dao, you go down!" ”

"Yes." The chief of the palace bowed and withdrew.

I saw Ji Wen say to Pei Wenju, "Prime Minister, please wait in the study, and after this king finishes meeting the second and third children, I will discuss with you the purpose of their trip." ”

"Your Highness, please!" Pei Wenju said.

And Ji Qingchen also bowed to Pei Wenju, exited the study, and went straight to the front hall.

At this time, Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang were drinking tea, and when they saw Ji Wen walk into the hall, the three of them greeted each other and listened to Ji Ping say, "Fourth brother, is there a place where it is convenient to talk, we have something important to discuss." ”

"Yes." Ji Wen was obviously not suitable for Ji Ping's opening of the door, but he could only be stunned for a moment and said, "Two brothers, please." ”

invited Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang to the living room of a small courtyard, which is where Ji Wen usually reads and learns calligraphy, and it is also the most confidential place in King Lu's Mansion, which is very suitable for people like the three of them who like to talk about intrigues and tricks.

When he arrived in the living room, Ji Hongchang was no longer polite, so he told Ji Qingchen what Ji Qingchen had said to him when he was in Ji Qingchen's mansion, and after speaking, he said to Ji Wen, "I have already told my second brother about this matter just now, and he also thinks it is feasible, now it is up to your opinion!" ”

"To form two armies, one of us is 100,000, this is very fair, plus Lao Jiu can support our war horses and middle-level generals, I don't have any opinion." Ji Wen pondered for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and said, "But I'm afraid that Lao Ba and Cui Jingsheng will oppose it!" We are not afraid of Lao Ba and Cui Jingsheng, but the queen mother has a lot of power as the mother of the world, and now it is a special period, if this old thing insists on stirring up, we are afraid that we can also deal with her. Besides, the current Metropolitan Procuratorate is still in the hands of Ji Qian, if we let Yushi impeach us, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat and walk around! ”

"As long as you agree with the ninth child, we can discuss the rest." Ji Ping said, "When we discuss the results and take concrete actions, I'm afraid that by then, the third child and I will have already eliminated the old bastard Cha Shenxing and controlled the Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”

"As for the queen mother-" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ji Hongchang's mouth, "If she doesn't participate in this matter, we won't do anything with her, if she really doesn't care about her identity and wants to come forward for the eighth child, don't blame us then!" ”

"So the two brothers have already come up with a countermeasure?" Seeing Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang looking full of confidence, this made Ji Wen stunned and a little stunned.

"Well, not yet!" Suddenly, I saw Ji Ping smile and said, "But there are so many of us, we will always think of a way." ”

"Uh-" Faced with Ji Ping's answer, Ji Wen suddenly didn't know what to say.

"But this time we are just asking for your opinion, the fourth, if you agree, we will have to discuss what to do in the future." Ji Hongchang said, "Lao Jiu said, if we think it is feasible, we can go to his house to discuss, I think it is okay, because when we decide, he will also discuss with him how to support us, with Lao Jiu's support, it will be much easier for us to form a new army." ”

"Okay, I'll have no problem, just listen to the two brothers." Hearing that Ji Qingchen was also involved and was ready to help the three of them, Ji Wen agreed very happily.

"Then it's decided, let's go to Lao Jiu's mansion in three days, and then discuss it carefully?" Ji Ping said.

"Yes!" Ji Hongchang and Ji Wen nodded slightly, and the three of them glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing. And when Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang left and returned to the study, Ji Wen informed Pei Wenju of this matter, Pei Wenju also agreed with Ji Wen's approach, because he also felt that Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang's strength was about the same as Ji Wen, and Ji Qian's strength was much larger.
