Chapter 3 Jiang Taishi's Strategy
On the other side, Cheng De, the chief eunuch of the East Palace, who was ordered by the prince to follow His Royal Highness the prince to the border pass, was rushing back to the barracks from the post station at this time.
This time, the Huns suddenly made a big attack, but it was actually a strategy set by Jiang Taishi and the Huns in secret collusion with Hu Yanlie, in order to eradicate Wei Chen's henchman.
Jiang Taishi promised that no matter what means Hu Yanlie used to get rid of Wei Chen, after the matter was completed, the entire Hetao Plain outside Yumen Pass would be assigned to the Xiongnu, and from then on, the Great Jin Dynasty would retreat to Yumen Pass, and the two sides would not invade each other.
Unexpectedly, Sima Qingyun, the granddaughter who has always been obedient and unassertive, would do something that caught Jiang Taishi off guard this time.
It's just a puppet raised by Jiang Ruzhi for twenty years, and she really regards herself as a prince?
For the chess pieces that want to break out of his control, Jiang Taishi will only adopt a policy of cutting the grass and eradicating the root cause and never suffering in the future.
The most taboo thing for chess players is this kind of disobedient chess piece, and Jiang Taishi will definitely not tolerate it, not to mention, Sima Qingyun will become his outcast sooner or later.
In the past 20 years, with the identity of Prince Sima Qingyun, Jiang Taishi has established his own power in the court, and now the real power in the hands of Emperor Wen of Jin has basically been hollowed out.
The reason why good birds choose trees and perch on the court officials understand that the prince is the future son of heaven, and the new emperors of the past dynasties always have to replace a group of confidant ministers, and now Emperor Wen of Jin is old and mediocre, and the ministers always have to plan for their future, and only by showing their loyalty to His Royal Highness the prince as soon as possible can it be possible to make steady progress in the new dynasty.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince usually listens to the words of the Taishi the most, so currying favor with the Taishi is equivalent to currying favor with the Prince, so more than half of the officials in the court have chosen to attach themselves to Jiang Taishi.
The only thing that Jiang Taishi is afraid of is this general Wei Chen, who has a heavy army, as long as Wei Chen dies, it will be easy for him to deal with the useless descendants of the Sima royal family.
Sooner or later, this country belongs to his Jiang family.
Cooperation with the Xiongnu is undoubtedly a good opportunity to kill Wei Chen, the Great Jin Dynasty has been at war with the Xiongnu for decades, laboring and losing money, and both sides want to take a break to recuperate and no longer fight.
But the three generations of Wei Chen's ancestors and grandchildren have already counted the new and old accounts with the Huns, how can Hu Yanlie let Wei Chen go so easily.
The former Xiongnu Dadan Yu Hu Yantuo died at the hands of Wei Chen's father Wei Kai, and this time Hu Yanlie agreed to cooperate with Jiang Taishi in order to kill Wei Chen with his own hands to avenge his father.
As long as Wei Chen went out to fight against the Xiongnu, Jiang Taishi and Hu Yanlie would come to meet the inside and outside, so that Wei Chen would go on this trip without returning.
But what Taishi Jiang never imagined was that Sima Qingyun would intervene at this time for no reason, so don't blame him for making his granddaughter an outcast in advance.
There must not be any mistakes in his plan, yes, even though Sima Qingyun is his own granddaughter, Jiang Taishi also moved to kill this time.
Taishi sent Chengde to follow Sima Qingyun all the way, firstly to ensure Wei Chen's death, and secondly, to keep an eye on Sima Qingyun, so as not to let her ruin her own plans, and if necessary, he could send her on the road.
Last night, the Huns attacked the camp, and there was no need for Chengde to do it, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't complain about his own life.
At this time, Chengde returned to the barracks, standing in the empty prince's tent and his heart trembled, his eyes were black for a while, and the body of His Royal Highness the prince was gone!
After rummaging through the camp inside and outside the tent three times, Chengde sat on the ground with a weak leg, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley all of a sudden, and he left in less than an hour.
Why did the body of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly disappear as soon as he returned?
Could it be that when he left, the military doctors moved the body of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince without authorization, and had already discovered the truth that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was his daughter?
So those people took advantage of his departure to smuggle away the body of His Royal Highness the Prince, preparing to return to the court to expose the matter? The more Chengde thought about it, the more cold sweat broke out, and he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured last night, and Chengde has always stopped the military doctors from stripping the prince to check his injuries on the grounds that His Royal Highness the Prince's noble body must not be desecrated.
The military doctors had no choice but to stop the bleeding for the prince through their clothes, which delayed the treatment, resulting in Sima Qingyun's life.
The military doctors even suspected that Chengde wished that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would die.
Despite this, Chengde understood that before leaving, the prince repeatedly told him that even if he died, the secret of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not be known to outsiders, otherwise how many people in the court would be implicated, and it would not only be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who would die at that time!
Last night, taking advantage of the Huns' sneak attack on the camp, he took advantage of the chaos to release an arrow at Wei Chen, and witnessed the barb arrow shoot into Wei Chen's heart, even if he failed to shoot Wei Chen at that time, as long as Wei Chen pulled out the arrow, he would definitely die.
I thought that when he came back, he would be able to hear the news of Wei Chen's death, and he would be able to go back to repay the prince if his merits were complete, but now the body of His Royal Highness the prince suddenly disappeared, can the prince's secret be hidden?
Chengde didn't dare to imagine the consequences of this secret once it was revealed, it was not something that he could only bear as a slave.
Don't say that Your Majesty wants to ask for guilt, the Taishi will not let him go first.
This kind of fall from heaven to hell at once made Cheng Desheng unlovely, ready to commit suicide to apologize, and at the moment when the dagger was about to cut his throat, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince miraculously appeared again.
Tang Qing looked at the person who was kneeling on the ground and was about to wipe his neck to commit suicide, flashed forward and kicked off the dagger on the man's neck, and looked at it, this person she had seen in Sima Qingyun's memory, it was Chengde, the chief eunuch of the East Palace, who usually took care of Sima Qingyun's daily life, and Sima Qingyun also trusted Chengde.
It's just that at this moment, what can't this person think of to play suicide?
Chengde knelt on the ground and looked at Tang Qing for a long time, and finally exclaimed after realizing that the dead prince was standing in front of him alive at this moment,
"Ahh What the hell!!!! ”
"I'll go, shut up, what's the ghost called?" Tang Qing was pierced by Chengde's sudden scream, and slapped Chengde to the ground mercilessly with a wave of his hand, and her eardrum was about to burst if she let this eunuch scream.
Chengde lay on the ground, covered half of his face that was swollen all of a sudden, and closed his mouth, and the hot pain on his face told himself that he was not dreaming at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was alive again, and he was still alive!
can crawl in the dangerous deep palace and successfully mix into the position of the chief eunuch of the East Palace, Chengde's father-in-law himself is not an ordinary person, and he has practiced the ability to change without being surprised for many years.
Although he watched His Royal Highness the Crown Prince swallow his breath last night, Chengde still felt a little dreamy in the face of the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come back from the dead, but at least he knew how to be a good slave.
"Minions, minions deserve to die." Chengde got up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to plead guilty.
"Okay, okay, seeing that this prince is still alive, Xiao Dezi, are you so happy, you don't have to die as a martyr."
Tang Qing remembered that in ancient times, there was a custom of suicide and burial when the master died, and this father-in-law only wanted to commit suicide and martyrdom, Tang Qing nodded, this is a very loyal servant. (Hehehe, this is a big misunderstanding...... ㄟ(▔,▔)ㄏ)
