Chapter 378: Scheming
Situ Lei's eyes suddenly became serious, and his brows furrowed even more tightly when he heard Situ Feng's words.
Situ Feng thought that since the Fifth Prince's strength was enough to make the emperor tremble, why not use it further?
Could it be that Xing Tianze has been willingly dormant for so many years, and in the end, time has smoothed the edges and corners on his body? If the Fifth Prince's decision was not enough today, Situ Feng would really be disappointed in him.
In his opinion, the emperor is now entering an old age, especially in the past few years, the strength of the five princes has become more and more huge, which is enough to see that the emperor is already strong and weak.
The heirs under his knees have no candidates for success, and they are not enough to be seen.
However, if Xingzhao wants to gain a foothold in this troubled world, then there must be a king who is famous enough to shock the world.
In comparison, Xing Tianze's disease in the former Three Kingdoms wiped out Baiyue, and the last two times he led the generals to retreat from the enemy of Qingcang, which is enough to prove that the position of the prince can no longer satisfy him, since the Situ family and the Yin family have power, why don't they help him?
Situ Feng did not shy away from his father's eyes at all now, and still spoke eloquently about his innermost thoughts, the great husband should have made immortal feats between heaven and earth, witnessing the fall of one emperor and the ascension of another emperor, such a big event is difficult to find in the world.
Since they have such conditions as Xing Tianze, why do they still stick to the rules?
As long as the emperor said that the military power is taken one or two, then the imperial power in the hands of the former will already exist in name only, and then it is necessary to wait for the right opportunity for Xing Tianze to enter the house and create another hundred years of meritorious service.
If he could witness such a great feat, Situ Feng thought that he had died without regrets.
Situ Lei, who was standing behind him with one hand, said with a smile: "If my father uses the scholar clan to help the five princes behind his back, he will definitely be able to rank as the third prince when he succeeds." ”
Hearing what his son said, Situ Lei took a deep breath, put his right hand on the table to support his body, and his face and eyes were full of extremely complicated expressions.
"Situ Feng, do you want the people of future generations to dig up the ancestral grave of our Situ family?" Situ Lei's words were particularly low, as if he was suppressing some thoughts in his heart.
"Father, we don't talk to each other, our Situ family has come to this point, and if you want to go further, you must climb the relationship of God." Suddenly, Situ Feng hesitated for a moment and spoke again: "Father, please forgive the child for the crime of disrespect, and the child asked his father again, didn't you promise the fifth prince to stand for him?" ”
Situ Lei was silent for a long time after hearing this, and after opening his eyes again, he let out a long breath of turbidity: "Feng'er, what you said is good, this also proves that the decision of my father to let you follow the fifth prince is correct, but there is one thing you haven't seen clearly." ”
Situ Feng frowned slightly and asked what was the matter?
"We are no better than others, and we are not comparable to the Yin family who holds the military power, the Situ family is already a big family for a hundred years, and the glory brought to us by our ancestors, we can't ignore these as backs." Situ Lei explained faintly: "So we can give advice to Xing Tianze, and even pull him when he is in the most danger, but we really have to show up for his position......"
Situ Lei didn't continue to speak, but shook his head slightly.
Situ Feng seemed to have understood something, and it wasn't until this moment that he really understood something, it turned out that he had never seen through his father's heart.
In Situ Lei's heart, there is also a passion that is not affected by age, but he has to take into account the glory of the entire family.
At this moment, Xing Tianze came to the pavilion in the center of the lake, and Wuxian had already drunk three jars of wine, but his consciousness was still extremely clear.
Xing Tianze frowned slightly, he knew very well that Wuxian was a person who didn't drink alcohol on weekdays, why did he do such a binge drinking thing today?
Suddenly, a huge thunderclap in the sky filled the whole sky, and the sky that had been gloomy for two quarters of an hour finally began to rain heavily.
Looking at the ripples in the lake, Traceless sighed slightly: "Lord, Lord, isn't the scene you see now exactly what we are doing?" Safety and the great cause have long been caught in the storm. ”
Xing Tianze didn't answer Wuji's words, he simply sat down and took a wine jar and drank it, he didn't know why the latter suddenly became sentimental, but he did have a feeling of exhaustion in his heart.
Fortunately, after fighting for so many years, neither Xing Tianze nor Wuxian dared to relax even half a breath, for fear that a little slack would cause the whole situation to collapse.
It's really rare to have a half-day of leisure like today.
Unconsciously, the two of them each drank half a jar of fine wine, no trace and Xing Tianze were originally massive, and the internal strength of the two of them had already reached the peak of perfection, so even if they drank two more jars of fine wine, they would not be affected in any way.
Ten days passed quickly, Xing Tianze and Wuxian sat in the study again, and the capital during this time was much calmer than before, which made people shudder at all.
Without a trace looked at the information he had just received, three days ago, fourteen masters had entered the capital in batches disguised as ordinary people, but the strange thing was that the places where they lived were far apart, almost scattered throughout the city.
Originally, this situation was not a big deal, but why did these masters appear at such a time?
Early this morning, Xing Tianze went out of the city to the barracks to dispatch troops and horses, and the information of the Xue family had been sent, and they began to prepare for the encirclement and suppression of the headquarters of the Heavenly Prison.
Every day, in addition to the previous court, the emperor took Schrödinger to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden.
Among them, there is also a noteworthy thing, the young master of the Xue family, who lives in a secluded and mysterious way, actually served as the internal envoy of the Xingzhao Kingdom under the recommendation of Xue Dinger.
This shows that the Xue family is really involved in this game between the five princes and the emperor.
Traceless closed a bamboo slip, and kept tapping his fingers on the table, but whenever there is any major change in the court, it is necessary to dispatch troops to select people for only use, so the rivers and lakes will definitely be aware of it.
Suddenly, a guard hurriedly ran in, presented a bamboo slip, and then turned and left the study.
Just glanced at the contents of this slightly, and the traceless face became grim in vain: "Come on, immediately go to the military camp outside the city, and the fifth prince will return to the house immediately, and say that this prince has an urgent matter to discuss with him." ”
As Traceless's words landed, one of the guards immediately jumped out of place.
The content on the bamboo slip is extremely simple: the general Liu Jin was ordered to return to the capital with 100,000 soldiers and horses, and arrived in the capital three days later at the latest.
