Just when Zhao Xu and the three of them were selecting rewards in the arsenal, in King An's mansion, King An's face was gloomy and could drip water, and Changshi Cheng Cang and Sima Zhoucheng were cautious, and they didn't dare to come out.

"No wonder Jingshan Wang Hongyi can't take down the third child, no wonder the third child dares to volunteer to go to suppress the bandits, it turns out that they have such a reliance in hand!"

Zhao Jing said hatefully.

"Lord Wang, are Lin Chong and Wu Song really Ninth Rank Grandmasters?"

Sima Zhoucheng frowned and asked.

Zhao Jing waved his hand impatiently and said:

"This king may be wrong, but the eyes of my father and the emperor and all the civil and military forces are not blind! Although he is not a real Nine-Rank Grandmaster, he is the same as General Guan, he is a proper pseudo-Nine-Grade! ”

Seeing that Zhao Jing was in a bad mood, Zhou Cheng didn't dare to say more, for fear of touching his own prince's mold.

Long history Cheng Cang said:

"If it's really as the prince said, then it's a big trouble. You must know that there are only two or three people like my Da Chu and General Guan, and if there are two more in a row. If His Majesty wants to re-establish the crown prince, he will have to take into account the views of these two. ”

"Cheng Changshi said even, this is the headache of this king."

Zhao Jing gently rubbed his eyebrows with the wrench on the thumb of his right hand, and said in distress.

"According to the humble position, the prince's top priority is to do three things well."

Cheng Cang thought for a moment and said solemnly:

"First, the prince needs to do his best to win over Lin Chong and Wu Song. Whether it is gold, silver and jewelry, or a mansion beauty, as long as one of them can be wooed, the prince will have strong reinforcements.

Second, the prince must find a way to separate the relationship between King Ning and the crown prince, as well as the relationship between King Ning and Lin Wu. As the saying goes, brothers work together, and their profits are gold. If there is no barrier between King Ning and the crown prince, then with the support of King Ning, it will be even more difficult for the prince to shake the throne of the crown prince.

Third, before Lin Wu and the others fell to the prince, they must not be allowed to get an official position in the court. King Ning had just returned to Beijing and was isolated in the court, if Lin Wu and the two took up military positions, then King Ning would have a foundation in the army. Just in case, it's better to suppress it as soon as possible. ”

When Zhao Jing heard this, he thought about it carefully, but he felt that the more he thought about it, the better it became, and the slight headache he had suddenly disappeared.

"Okay, according to what Cheng Changshi said, this matter will be handed over to you."

"Obedience!"

"By the way, how is the progress on the prince's side?"

Thinking of the previous arrangement in the prince's mansion, Zhao Jing asked again.

"This matter can't be too urgent, the prince is waiting for good news, and it will be about this month or two."

Cheng Cang smiled at the corner of his mouth and said softly.

Zhao Jing nodded.

"Okay, since Cheng Changshi said this, then the king will wait for good news and watch how the second child will step down miserably!"

As he spoke, Zhao Jing showed a sneer on his face, as if he had seen the scene of that day.

However, it's cheap and lonely's good brother!

…………

Shenjing east side, Honglu Temple.

As one of the nine temples, Honglu Temple is in charge of foreign guests, court ceremonies and other affairs, and the envoys of Qi, Burma and Yunnan, as well as a group of monks, all live in the foreign hotel under the name of Honglu Temple.

In the embassy of the State of Qi.

Shangguan Yao, the envoy of the State of Qi, and a number of subordinates are discussing the gains and losses of this competition.

"Lord Shangguan, although we lost this competition, the state of Chu is as your majesty expected."

One of his subordinates whispered.

Shangguan Yao nodded and said softly:

"That's true, the troops of Chu Guojing's battalion will not be able to be used, which is good news for my Daqi army to march south. The only one who can be worried is the general Guan Hao Cangguan on the south bank of the Canglong River. ”

mentioned Guan Canghao, everyone present showed a headache.

This one can be called the pillar of the Chu State Naval Army, guarding the banks of the Canglong River to the death, and not giving the Qi State a chance to take advantage of it at all.

What's even more hateful is that this one rescued the crown prince Zhao Chun from thousands of chaotic troops when the Northern Expedition of Chu failed three years ago.

After this incident, neither Zhao Heng, the emperor of Chu, nor Zhao Chun, the crown prince, would doubt Guan Haocang's loyalty to Great Chu, which made them want to separate the two monarchs and ministers, and there was nothing they could do.

"Guan Haocang is a stumbling block, if our army wants to cross the Canglong River, it must be transferred away."

A vassal gritted his teeth.

"Exactly."

Shangguan Yao nodded in agreement, and then said:

"However, when I left Beijing, this official received a secret edict from His Majesty, and asked this official to meet the envoys of Burma and Yunnan before opening it. It seems that now is the time to turn it on. ”

After that, he took out a scroll of clear yellow silk book from his arms, which was the secret edict of the Emperor of Great Qi!

Opening the edict with both hands, Shangguan Yao glanced at ten lines, and after taking everything written in the edict into his mind, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his shoulders trembled.

"Lord Shangguan, you?"

Putting away the secret edict, Shangguan Yao waved his hand, forcibly suppressed his excitement, and said in a low voice:

Looking at this secret edict, it can be seen that His Majesty has already made arrangements in his chest. Vice Envoy Chen, if you ask your confidant to go to the Burmese Embassy, you will say that the official wants to invite Lord An to enjoy the moon together, and please come here. ”

Moon?

It's only March, where is the moon to look at?

Although he had doubts in his heart, Deputy Envoy Chen still asked his subordinates to go to the Burmese embassy to spread the word.

"Your Majesty said in the edict that I have people in an ambush in Miaojiang. If there is turmoil in Miaojiang, the Burmese State will drag that Qu Zhennan, and the Chu State will have nothing to do, so it will have to transfer troops from Shenjing to suppress the rebellion, but the ability of the soldiers in the Beijing camp, you and I have seen it today, and we should have a certain number in our hearts. If the Jingying can't be suppressed, then the state of Chu will have to let Guan Haocang lead the troops to quell the rebellion. ”

When the subordinates heard this, their eyes couldn't help but brighten, and they suppressed their excitement in their hearts, and said:

"Lord Shangguan, if Guan Haocang leaves the three mansions of Ningjiang, Jinghai, and Lingchuan, then our army will no longer have any constraints when it goes south!"

"That's right!" Shangguan Yao smiled and nodded, "But this matter still needs the cooperation of the Burmese country, if they didn't drag that Qu Zhennan, this plan would never be unreasonable." ”

The subordinate officials nodded one after another.

"Lord Shangguan has a point."

"However, Lord Shangguan also needs to be wary of Lin Wu and the others who are bad for me and other good things today. If the two of them lead the troops to quell the rebellion, His Majesty's plan may have some twists and turns. A subordinate officer reminded.

Shangguan Yao shook his head and smiled:

"What Lord Hong said, the official knows in his heart. However, in the eyes of this official, it is Lord Hong who is too worried. Although Lin Wu and the others are outstanding in martial arts, they are the people recommended by King Ning, who has just returned to Shenjing from Great Chu, and has no foundation in the court of Chu. How could it be so easy for these two people to lead troops to quell the rebellion alone? What's more, it's probably not so easy for newcomers to make the group of wastes in Jingying who are not very capable, but have eyes above the top, obey orders, right? ”

When everyone heard this, they burst out laughing.

Not long after, the Burmese envoy An Ranxiu came to the embassy of Chu, and Shangguan Yao personally went out to greet him.

The two retreated and discussed for nearly half an hour before An Ranxiu said goodbye and left.

After another half an hour, a falcon flew out of the embassy and disappeared into the night.

Looking at the Falcon flying away with his back hand, Shangguan Yao chuckled in a low voice.

Emperor of Chu, this is the birthday gift that my Great Qi monarch prepared for you, I don't know if you like it?
