Just as he was thinking deeply, a man in black quickly climbed through the window and knelt on the ground, holding a bamboo slip wrapped in red cloth with his hands.

Seeing this, both Xing Tianze and Wuxian frowned slightly, all the black-clothed people in the Five Princes' Mansion were the dead soldiers they raised, but there were various color differences among all the bamboo slips that commanded the order, and this red cloth meant that something extremely important had happened.

Xing Tianze decisively opened the bamboo slip and saw the contents on it, his face quickly became gloomy, and he waved his hand to the man in black without a trace to signal him to go down first, if it was seen by someone with a heart, it would be very bad.

Xing Tianze slapped the bamboo slip between his hands vigorously, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and directly handed the bamboo slip to Wuji.

"Gongsun Yan wants to enter the capital and face the saint, and he will arrive in the capital tomorrow?" Traceless raised his head in surprise and looked at Xing Tianze.

At this most critical juncture, Gongsun Yan's actions undoubtedly show that his position is on the emperor's side?

In the early days of the founding of the Xingzhao Kingdom, those meritorious ministers who followed the ancestor emperor to fight the country were distributed to many places in the country to guard after becoming famous, and to put it bluntly, they were given fiefs so that they did not have to accompany them in the capital.

But after so many years, the emperors of the Xingzhao Kingdom regarded these feudal forces as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and many of them had been wiped out.

Now all that remains are the Gongsun family, which is firmly in the south, and the Wang family, which guards the eastern coastal defense line, which holds nearly half of the finances of the Xingzhao Kingdom.

Especially the Gongsun family had received Xing Tianze's great favor a few years ago, so the two sides have maintained a good relationship over the years.

Now Gongsun Yan's move is undoubtedly that he abandoned Xing Tianze and turned to the emperor's side.

Wu Xian had been in the Jiangnan generation for five or six years in the early years, because he had long seen the importance of the south to the overall situation, so Xing Tianze managed it like an iron plate.

But who would have thought that this iron plate actually had a tendency to crack?

"Someone!" Xing Tianze stood up from the chair suddenly, slapped his face three times, and immediately five black-clothed people came in through the window.

"Pass on the king's order, no matter what method is used, Gongsun Yan will not be able to reach the capital alive!" Xing Tianze's words were already full of deep murderous intent.

After a few black-clothed people saluted, they went down decisively, even if they were without a trace, they didn't stop much, and the change in the attitude of the Gongsun family undoubtedly made the entire chess game change, even if he felt a little overwhelmed.

In his imagination, the Gongsun family is an absolutely important chess piece, because if Xing Tianze causes an incident in the future, they will definitely have the problem of maintaining military salaries for their soldiers and horses.

"Gongsun Yan is really a big dog, how dare he play such a hand for this king?" Xing Tianze's chest kept rising and falling, which was enough to see how strong the anger in his heart was.

This is another guard hurriedly running up from the outside: "Lord Qiqi, Traceless Prince, Lord Guozhang is waiting in the front hall at this time when he comes to visit!" ”

Hearing this, Wuji's face instantly became serious, the prince is the most typical person among the ministers who support the emperor, and there is absolutely nothing good about him suddenly coming to visit.

Vaguely, without a trace, he suddenly had a very bad premonition, whether it was Guozhang or Gongsun Yan, there was the same person standing behind him, and the emperor was probably going to play all the chess pieces in his hand this time.

Guozhang's status is noble, and he is Xing Tianze's elder, so he and Wuxian soon came to the front hall.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and this king suddenly came to the house for some reason, do you have any advice?" Xing Tianze glanced at the sixty-year-old abbot slightly.

"The country's uncle heard that the prince had some small friction with the emperor in the imperial study today, and specially came to warn the prince not to be annoyed, the emperor is also worried about the affairs of the north, how to say that you and the emperor are siblings and should be in the same vein." The prince leaned back on the chair and raised his chin slightly to look at the five princes, and his spoken language was also quite instructive.

"If the prince is here for this reason, please leave, and this king still has a pair of calligraphy and paintings in the study that has not been written, so I will not send it far away!" Xing Tianze directly gave the eviction order, got up and left the front hall.

Guozhang let out a long sigh, Xing Tianze was extremely annoyed by his disrespectful attitude, and waved his sleeves violently and left.

Wuxian followed behind Xing Tianze and could only shake his head helplessly, just because his daughter married the emperor and was canonized as a concubine, he wanted to point fingers at the fifth prince? That's taking yourself too seriously, isn't it?

The thing they should be most worried about at the moment is Gongsun Yan, since the emperor summoned him to the capital at such a time.

That means that the emperor has absolutely driven Xing Tianze to the border, and then trained Gongsun Yan to settle in the capital to strengthen his momentum.

"Since the Gongsun family is so unreasonable, then there is naturally no need for this king to let them continue to exist." Xing Tianze's tone was very gloomy.

It just so happens that he can use the Gongsun family to kill chickens and monkeys this time!

"The emperor has reached the time when he has no choice but to fight against the water, and the Gongsun family should be the biggest chess piece in his hand." Traceless let out a helpless sigh.

He was feeling sorry for Gongsun Yan for such a stupid thing, they had dealt with the Gongsun family for so many years, did they really not leave a way back for themselves?

Why did the power of the Gongsun family develop so fast? The secret without a trace is clear to Xing Tianze, and he only needs to use a bamboo slip, so the sky in Jiangnan will be turned over again.

"This king really underestimated the imperial brother, and he was able to play such a thing that made me lose a lot." Xing Tianze closed his eyes vigorously, feeling that Gongsun Yan was really stupid, and he was willing to act as a pawn for the emperor.

"But this incident also reminds us that although the prince now has an advantage, the basic situation of not holding real power in his hands has not changed, all the forces are supported by the outside world, and only need to suffer any changes itself will suffer huge losses." Traceless slowly analyzes the problem.

Why did the Gongsun family rebel? Because they are afraid of the imperial power in the hands of this emperor, they can easily destroy the Gongsun family with their backhands.

Although the fifth prince has the support of many ministers, he does not have the wings to protect his entourage.

Just like a shelf built of wood, power is the iron nail between the solid wood, Xing Tianze has not held real power for a day, so the wooden frame around his body may be blown away by the wind at any time.

Xing Tianze took a deep breath, he could think that the matter of the Gongsun family would soon spread throughout the capital, and it would definitely be a major impact on the ministers who supported him, and if it was not handled well, there was even the possibility of being overturned.
