Chapter 48: Plotting for the Future
"Originally, I thought that His Majesty intended to support us because he was afraid of the prince's excessive power, and I also thought that I would take advantage of the opportunity of the prince to anger His Majesty this time to try to see if we could bring down the prince.
As a result, judging from the situation in the palace, I am afraid that His Majesty is purely using us as a whetstone, and he has never had the idea of easy storage at all."
Cen Fa and Ming Song were getting together at this time, discussing what had happened recently.
Zhang Jieyu's family members were all sent by Hou Guan directly from the Ming family, so Ming Song felt more deeply about this.
Ming Song thought that Cui Ming had been staring at the Ming family for a long time, otherwise how could he come to ask for someone so quickly, without thinking about whether his own family was not secret.
Under the dominance of this kind of thinking, Ming Song naturally made up a set of conspiracy theories in his own brain.
said: "Yes, I originally thought that our majesty was benevolent, but now it seems that he is also ruthless, this is trying to take the lives of our families and give the prince a prestige in the future."
And conspiracy theories are the kind of things that are the easiest to bring people into.
So the two started a review by themselves, from the very beginning after Cui Ming ascended the throne, he recruited the women of the big family to enter the palace and began to disc.
They believed that Cui Ming was forced to attack by the Anguo army at that time, and he urgently needed to stabilize the situation, so he had no choice but to summon him.
Therefore, the Zheng, Ming, and Cen families who contributed the most in this matter have always been dissatisfied, but because of the intricate relationship between the family and the family, they did not deal with it immediately, but temporarily endured it.
As a result, Li Hao suddenly rose again, and his outstanding ability was demonstrated in military and political affairs, and Cui Ming had a new idea.
That is to use *** Houlu and the favor of the concubines from the three families to stimulate the ambition of several families to compete for the prince, push them to the opposite side of Li Hao, so that Li Hao can deal with them justifiably when he ascends the throne in the future.
This can not only deter hundreds of officials, let the new emperor quickly establish the prestige of the emperor, but also solve the dissatisfaction in the original heart, which can be called killing two birds with one stone, and it can be regarded as waste utilization.
The two of them are more and more angry in their hearts, as the heads of the family, in their hearts, the family is the foundation, but they have no idea of serving the emperor.
Cen Fa asked at this time, "Brother Ming, in this situation, what do you think we should do, and whether we should find a way to ease relations with the prince."
"The grievances have all been settled, with the temperament of our crown prince, I'm afraid that even if we want to ease it, it may not be feasible, and don't forget that His Majesty is watching from above."
When Ming Song said this, he paused slightly, and added: "This matter is not only our two families, the Zheng family is deeper in this matter, and the conflict with the crown prince is even heavier, so we still have to listen to their thoughts.
Moreover, among the several of us, only the Zheng family controls the soldiers and horses, and the current situation cannot be lost."
Cen Fa was taken aback by Ming Song, how could he talk about it and talk about the head of the soldiers and horses.
Hurriedly said: "Could it be that you still want to use troops, this will definitely not work, after all, when it comes to leading troops to fight, I'm afraid that Zheng Zhuo is not as good as the prince."
Besides, most of the soldiers and horses in his hands are the old prince's troops, and I am afraid that he will not listen to him if he really fights."
Ming Song replied: "Mobilizing troops is naturally the last resort, if it can be resolved peacefully, even if a few of us let out some blood, it will be nothing, but if people don't give up, we can't really be arrested."
As for the question you said, I have also thought about it, if the prince is here, it will naturally be difficult to deal with, but if the prince is not there!"
Cen Fa was surprised: "You want to assassinate the crown prince?"
As a result, Ming Song answered: "It's okay, it's just that this is all a later story, after all, the prince also fought in the battle array, and I'm afraid it's not so easy to assassinate him."
My idea is to push the prince to leave the capital, and now that His Majesty is annoyed by the prince, as long as there is a reasonable reason and no one can stop him, His Majesty should be happy to let him leave.
When the time comes, Zheng Zhuo will be transferred back to the capital, and it is best to bring back another team of soldiers and horses, so that if necessary, he will have the power to strike.
Whether we can assassinate the crown prince or not, we can control the palace and let the third prince ascend the throne, after all, we
Your Majesty, isn't that how you are in the position?
As for the prince's side, if the assassination is successful, then everything will be over, and if it is not successful, it will be nothing more than encircling and suppressing the rebels with the power of the imperial court.
If necessary, you can also bring An Guo and Chu Guo as help, in short, there is always no shortage of people in the world who want this prince to die."
Cen Fa's heart is not as wild as Ming Song, and at least in colluding with the enemy country, he is a little difficult to accept.
Ming Song also noticed this, and said, "Okay, don't think too much, if it weren't for the moment of necessity, I wouldn't want to come to this point, now it's better to contact Zheng Zhuo first."
Cen Fa breathed a sigh of relief and agreed, "Okay, then I will send someone to the old place of Qi to contact him, and whether I want to communicate with the people in the palace about this matter."
Ming Song shook his head and said, "Don't use it for the time being, it's not time to plan the palace now, so don't make any extraneous branches."
The two discussed it, and then they dispersed to make arrangements.
These two people met and planned alone, and Jinyiwei was not strong enough to master it.
Therefore, at this time, Li Hao once again began to find Cui Ming to ask for advice, which annoyed Cui Ming enough.
But Cui Ming was willing to avoid Li Hao, and he didn't agree with Li Hao's idea.
And in this process, Honglu Temple's mediation between Chu and Yan also ended.
According to the plan of Honglu Temple, the state capital of Yuan was evenly distributed to Chu and Yan.
Of course, this average mainly refers to the number of state capitals, and in terms of the actual situation of each state capital, Chu still has an advantage.
Who made Chu and Su have longer and closer exchanges, and the officials of the two sides are more familiar.
Li Hao also raised objections to this plan that was different from his own vision, but he was suppressed by Cui Ming, which is the disadvantage of not being able to make his own decisions.
And Li Hao is not only upset, now An and Wu are gathering troops near Tianmen Pass, seeing that a big war is about to begin.
As for Chu and Yan, after their respective envoys return with mediation plans, the soldiers and horses, who have been resting for a while, will set foot on the Yuan Kingdom again.
At that time, only Su Guo was left to watch the play on the side of the Central Plains countries, and Li Hao was obviously not very satisfied with this state.
It's not that Li Hao is belligerent, but he can't seize the opportunity when he sees it, and it's strange that he can feel comfortable.
It was in this situation that Cen Fa decided to find an opportunity to show favor to Li Hao after some consideration.
Because in his heart, his family is at most beating the side drum in the matter of treating Li Hao, and he is not as resentful as the Zheng family, maybe Li Hao doesn't hold such a grudge in his heart.
Rebellion is a sin of robbing the family and destroying the clan, and maybe the harvest can be great if he succeeds, but he really doesn't want to gamble with his own family, so he can't take care of the promise of several families, anyway, aren't the allies just used to sell.
As a result, at this time, Li Hao was in a bad mood, and he thought that they were messing around and ruining his plan, so he didn't have a good impression of the Cen family, so he let him eat a few closed doors.
After all, who would have thought that the conspiracy theories they made up in their brains could be so sharp, at least in Li Hao's heart, he really didn't take Zheng, Ming, and Cen to heart too much.
Isn't it just digging holes for each other when they are hostile, this is a very normal thing in Li Hao's eyes, as long as they don't touch the bottom line and follow the rules formulated by Li Hao, Li Hao won't do anything to them even if he ascends the throne, this is still open-minded.
But the problem is that Cen Fa doesn't know, so according to Li Hao's performance, it was immediately judged that Li Hao was unwilling to accept the overtures.
