Chapter 417: Seeking Skin with the Tiger
Today, Qin Taifu was almost defeated by Xiao Hanyin, even though he won half a son in the end, he was still unhappy.
If it weren't for Xiao Hanyin's distraction at a critical time, he made a wrong move, otherwise he would have no chance to win at all.
At this time, someone suddenly wanted to see Xiao Hanyin, so they stopped for the time being!
"Master!" After the man came in, he knelt in front of Xiao Hanyin.
"If you have something to say, you don't need to scruples!" He saw the clue in the other party's expression.
"The subordinates have found out the news of the second prince!" His subordinates didn't know if Taifu Qin could trust him, but since Xiao Hanyin had asked him to say it, he didn't care about it.
"Where is he?" Since King Cheng revealed the news that the second prince intended to collude with foreigners, Xiao Hanyin has been ordering people to investigate the matter.
Xiao Hanyin didn't want to wait for everything to be irretrievable before receiving the news.
At present, the second prince has not yet become a climate, and it is still easy to get rid of him, as long as he gets the evidence, the emperor can execute him personally......
"Wang Wu came back with news that the second prince didn't know when he secretly went to a neighboring country, and it wasn't until he secretly came back two days ago that his whereabouts were discovered!" Xiao Hanyin's subordinates truthfully told the situation.
"I didn't expect the second prince to really have a heart of treason!" A cold light crossed Liu Qingshao's eyes.
In the past, they had always known that the second prince was very ambitious and wanted to win the throne, but since the emperor expelled him to the imperial city, he has not moved.
Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao both thought that he would see through his situation and live in his fiefdom.
Now it seems that they underestimated the second prince too much.
When King Cheng mentioned this, they were all suspicious and felt that it could not happen.
However, at the moment, it seems that the news of becoming a king is indeed better than all of them.
What the second prince did was so secretive that he even concealed it from the current saint, but he was still discovered by King Cheng.
Neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp, and luckily they didn't run into each other, otherwise it would have been bad.
"How can this be reasonable, he is a member of the royal family, and he wants to collude with outsiders to attack his own country?" When Taifu Qin heard the report from Xiao Hanyin's men, he was immediately furious!
When he was a concubine in the palace, he also met the second prince.
At that time, although he was thoughtful, he did not have the slightest intention of harming the country.
Qin Taifu didn't expect that he would eventually go astray.
A throne would allow him to abandon his conscience, and even give their great rivers and mountains to the Gentiles, and he was simply blinded by lard.
Isn't it good for him to be an idle prince on the border, why do you have to be obsessed with the throne.
The emperor seems to be beautiful, but in fact, the internal force also has its own hardships and demands, and if a person wants to get it, he must give it up first.
It was because he saw everything clearly that he only taught the prince the prince, and did not interfere in the affairs of the court at all.
"The second prince is ambitious, and he repeatedly framed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in order to compete for the throne, and after the emperor learned what he did, he let him go to the fiefdom and wanted him to live in the fiefdom!" Xiao Hanyin explained.
"He was unwilling, so he went to a neighboring country, wanting to use other people's power to snatch away the throne belonging to the crown prince?" Qin Taifu sneered.
"King Cheng reminded us before that the second prince had different intentions, and the emperor sent someone to check at that time, but unfortunately he didn't find anything, and now I think he should have made a deal with the neighboring countries!" He hid it so well that almost no one had ever seen into his mind.
Now, his subordinates can find out the whereabouts of the second prince, but it is too late.
If the second prince really completed the deal with the other party, then he must have betrayed some secrets of the imperial court.
Xiao Hanyin's mood was quite heavy.
"Back then, when I was teaching the crown prince, the monarch of a neighboring country once sent spies to find out the news, and even almost stole our marching map!" Qin Taifu said with a gloomy face.
"The neighboring countries have long had the idea of annexing our dynasty, and the second prince cooperating with them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger, and it will not end well after all!" Liu Qingshao said with a cold face.
"He was born in the royal family, and he didn't share the worries of the emperor and the crown prince, but he cooperated with a country that had long been ambitious, and he was basically in the mouth of a tiger!" Xiao Hanyin's eyes crossed a trace of anger.
Although he did not like to get involved in fighting, he also did not want to see other people's shoes step into their land and harm innocent people.
"Taifu Qin, did the neighboring countries have led troops to attack our dynasty back then?" Liu Qingshao was more concerned about what he said before.
"They wanted to steal the defense map and then overwhelm the territory, but someone discovered their move and alarmed the others during the fight, and in the end their plan failed, and they also lost several first-class masters!" Qin Taifu's face was unswerving, "Our imperial court has also lost some elite soldiers!" ”
Hundreds of people died in that fight, and they paid such a big price that they finally kept the defense map and did not give them a chance.
The defense map is related to the lives of so many people, and once it falls into the hands of the enemy, the consequences are unimaginable.
Although their plan ultimately failed, we also paid a significant price.
Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao could fully imagine how dangerous the situation was at that time.
If their plot had succeeded, the court would have been shattered.
"There has been constant friction between our two dynasties in recent years, but as long as the other party doesn't go too far, the emperor has never thought of raising troops to attack them!" Xiao Hanyin still knows a lot about the current situation.
In order to keep the peace of their court, the emperor sent a general to garrison the border, and once a problem was discovered, he immediately took precautions. 85
Over the years, the other party has been making small moves, but he doesn't dare to attack them openly.
After all, they simply weren't sure enough to take down their Qi Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop.
So, both countries deliberately maintain a semblance of peace.
Now, the actions of the second prince are undoubtedly provoking a war between the two countries, how can Taifu Qin not be angry.
The stability of the Qi Zhou Dynasty was not easy to come by, and because of his personal interests and gains and losses, he wanted to involve so many people in the grievances of the royal family, which was too disregarded for the overall situation.
Even if he can really get the throne, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit for two days, and he will be killed by the people of the neighboring country.
They have thought about the Qi Zhou Dynasty for so many years, and now the second prince took the initiative to send it to the door, if they don't seize this opportunity, once the army is attacked, they will only return with a feather.
"Previously, when we learned that the second prince intended to unite with outsiders to compete for the throne, the emperor sent someone to test it, but the crown prince always felt that the second prince would not do such a thing!" Xiao Hanyin saw that Qin Taifu was so business-oriented, so he deliberately added fuel and vinegar, wanting him to realize what kind of disaster the prince's temperament would bring to him and his subjects.
In this kind of major right and wrong, once the heart is soft-hearted, the only one who will be hurt in the end can only be him and the innocent.
"Confused, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, his heart has been blinded by power, if he doesn't deal with it in time, I'm afraid it will become the biggest danger!" After Taifu Qin learned of the prince's thoughts, he hated iron and steel.
He taught the prince for a few years, and naturally knew the softness in his heart.
For his part, he forgives others as long as they are repentant.
However, some prodigal ambitions did not know that he was doing so.
It's just that the prince has been like this since he was a child, as long as he can do it, even if he wrongs himself, he will not hesitate to do it.
It's a pity that such a move can't be exchanged for the sincere respect of others.
What others want is always what he can't afford.
Qin Taifu once warned him that the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.
There has always been no pure brotherhood in the royal family, even if they are compatriots of the same mother, for the sake of power and status, they may turn against each other at any time.
He has really experienced too many things like this, and if the prince's character is born in the family of an official eunuch, he may be able to get good fortune.
However, the royal family is the law of the jungle, and if you are not careful, you will be pushed into the abyss by those you trust.
Qin Taifu hated all this, so he would rather be an idle person who was attached to the mountains and rivers than continue to stay in the palace and enjoy the scenery of the prince and the prince.
Who would have thought that the students he personally trained would not be able to see through even the simplest thing in the end......
"Your Highness is benevolent by nature, and you don't want to think too badly of everyone!" He just habitually thinks about things in a good direction, but ignores the malice of the other party.
The second prince wanted to kill the crown prince, but he didn't succeed.
Xiao Hanyin had long wanted to finish off the second prince with his own hands, but the other party was the prince, and the emperor could only do it secretly without an order.
He didn't want to do this kind of thing secretly, so he restrained himself.
After all, he is not alone now, if something happens, it will affect Liu Qingshao and other family members.
What's more, the second prince and the crown prince are the emperor's own flesh and blood, and what kind of choice he wants to make depends on him.
They are courtiers, yes, they can only do their own things......
"A poisonous snake will always be a poisonous snake, and he will not put away his fangs because of your mercy!" Mrs. Qin's eyes were full of helplessness.
"Taifu Qin, Your Highness needs you to mention it by your side, and when His Highness arrives in a few days, please remind me secretly!" After Xiao Hanyin saw his attitude, he knew that things were progressing.
He has always had a sense of community, so when he heard that the crown prince couldn't bear to make a move on the second prince who had different intentions for the Zhou Dynasty, he was faintly disappointed in his heart.
However, Xiao Hanyin's words spoke to her heart.
Qin Taifu really didn't want the prince to make a wrong decision, and then make himself doomed.
If the second prince really betrayed the country and defected to the enemy, he could not continue to stay.
Even if the emperor disagrees, they should find a way to get rid of this person completely.
He listened to Xiao Hanyin's words, and although he didn't agree immediately, he had a plan in his heart.
The prince's approach is indeed inappropriate, if he doesn't do it a little, Taifu Qin is really worried that his kindness will harm himself and become the object of everyone's accusations and spits.
The monarch of the Qi and Zhou Dynasty had to be decisive in killing, and the damned must not be protected, and the prince did a bad job in this regard.
No wonder Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao wanted him to go back and talk to the prince.
After Liu Qingshao saw the wavering in his expression, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that they didn't have to return in vain on this trip.
He has the prince as a student in his heart, and Qin Taifu is worried about the country and the people, and he is a righteous man.
The things that the second prince did just gave them an excuse, and Xiao Hanyin was very satisfied.
After the crown prince gets rid of his soft-heartedness, there is no need for the second prince to exist......
