Now that the political situation in Nantai is tense, the crown prince is dead, and the six princes who have the best chance of becoming the crown prince have also been diagnosed with madness.

During this time, the old emperor had a very difficult time, and he was almost attacked by the enemy.

The most chilling thing is his younger brother King Liang, who was the most trusted person before, and even handed over the military power to him, but now it is King Liang who is making the most trouble.

The old emperor's heirs are thin, but King Liang is just the opposite, there are three adult sons, and five or six younger ones, so the old emperor has no advantage in this comparison.

On top of that, he doesn't have much power left.

If King Liang really raised troops to rebel, he would have no room to resist at all.

This position was hard-earned by him, and he will give it to his son in the future, and he will never give it to others.

But...... Let him cooperate with someone who knows that he may kill his son, he is still a little unwilling.

But even so, he did not destroy the letter, but put it away.

The next day, above the court, there was still a smoke of gunpowder, and he was completely passive.

King Liang took a step forward and said unceremoniously: "Brother Huang, you have been in poor health all the year round, you still have to determine the successor first, otherwise if something happens to you, what will happen to the whole country?" ”

Before the old emperor could speak, the other courtiers all knelt down and said in unison: "Please make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

"You, you ......"

The old emperor's heart was cold, he looked at King Liang, he didn't expect that his brother, who he used to trust the most, would now become the most ruthless person who forced him.

The ministers below were all kneeling on the ground, and only King Liang was standing, even with a smile on his face, as if he was showing off to him.

The old emperor looked at these people below, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and none of them were protecting him.

When did King Liang start to win people's hearts behind his back?

He also has sons, but except for the six princes, the other children are still young, and it is difficult for them to take on the big responsibilities for the time being, so these people can't wait to abdicate themselves and make way for Xian.

Do they really think he's so easy to bully?

"Brother Huang, brother, I am also thinking about you, now that I am in the prime of life, I can naturally help Brother Huang solve problems."

His intentions couldn't be more obvious, and he almost forced the old emperor to write an edict of abdication.

The old emperor gritted his teeth tightly and held it for a long time before he said, "I'm not dead yet!" Retreat! ”

After speaking, the old eunuch beside him hurriedly helped him to leave, and the successor candidate was once again empty.

But King Liang was not in a hurry, he was confident to sit in that position.

The other vassal kings must also want a piece of the pie, but only he is the younger brother of the old emperor's half-father and mother, and the old emperor trusts him very much from beginning to end, giving him power and glory, so many years, he has indeed done his duty as a younger brother, and even thinks that the prince will also assist the prince well in the future.

But people are not as good as heaven, the crown prince with outstanding ability is gone, the six princes have this problem, and the other princes are still too young, if he wants to serve a yellow-mouthed child as the king, he can't do it.

What's more, he is also the second son of orthodoxy, why can't he sit in that position by himself.

He felt that he was benevolent and righteous to his imperial brother.

It doesn't matter if the old emperor doesn't want to let go now, anyway, he can accompany him to consume slowly, even if the old emperor is unwilling to give way to him until he dies, he can also sit on it by himself, and other vassal kings will not be his opponents.

The old emperor hurriedly returned to his dormitory and sat on the soft couch panting.

The old eunuch beside him anxiously brought him tea, but he waved his hand calmly: "Let's all step down." ”

At such a critical juncture, the old emperor became more and more calm, and he would not lose his temper and throw things like before, he knew that his body could not withstand such a big anger.

Now, he must consider his son, and the throne must not fall into the hands of King Liang.

Almost immediately, he thought of the letter from the previous evening, and he went to find it himself, read it several times, and then exclaimed with self-mockery: "It seems that it is still necessary to cooperate with the enemy. ”

He held the letter tightly in his hand, took it to the candle and burned it clean, went to write a letter before the case, and then asked his henchman to send the letter to Shunyu Casino.

It was completely within Lu Baichuan's expectation that the old emperor would agree to cooperate, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, it seems that the situation in Nantai is already much more severe than he imagined.

The old emperor was also a simple person, and he didn't even bother with their identity, but only replied with two words: conditions.

Lu Baichuan also simply replied: One million taels of gold, buy Nantai and settle down within ten years.

This money is enough to make the treasury of South Thailand so empty that it can no longer be empty, after all, South Thailand is not a very rich country.

Without money, even if Nantai people want to jump, they can't jump.

There was no response to the reply, Lu Baichuan thought that the old emperor was unwilling to spend so much money, but in the middle of the night seven days later, a group of uninvited guests came to the courtyard of Shunyu Gambling House, in groups of two, carrying boxes.

The boxes were opened one by one, and they were all shiny gold, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Especially Qin Jian, she didn't know about Lu Baichuan's contact with the old emperor, at first she thought it was an assassin, and the guards in the shadows didn't react, and she thought that they were all wiped out, so she was shocked to see that it turned out to be all money.

"What's going on?"

Qin Jian looked at Lu Baichuan in a daze, not knowing what this kid was doing behind his back again.

Lu Baichuan didn't answer him immediately, but took a letter from the leader of the other party and opened it in front of them.

The old emperor agreed to his request, with one condition: to kill the king of Liang.

Lu Baichuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said to the leader in Nantai language: "Go back and tell your Emperor His Majesty that it will be as he wishes, and the cooperation will be happy." ”

The other party didn't speak, nodded, and left directly.

Qin Jian couldn't help but snatch the letter in his hand anymore and look at it, and then his face changed instantly.

"Are you crazy?!"

This King Liang's life is not something that anyone can take, he has been on the battlefield, has real skills, and his subordinates are all elites, but I am afraid that it is difficult to even get close.

If they do do this business, they will probably lose more than half of them.

Qin Jian was a little angry, this guy made such a decision without consulting him!

"I'm not crazy, I'm sober now, and this is our chance."

Lu Baichuan explained very calmly, he knew that it was wrong for him to make assertions, but if he said it in advance, Qin Jian would definitely stop him, so it was better to cut it first and then play it.

The matter is a foregone conclusion, even if Qin Jian is against it, he can't change the reality.

Qin Jian angrily kicked the tree next to him to vent, and then gritted his teeth and asked, "Who is the other party?" ”
