Chapter 421: Capture the Heir (3) Northern Expedition
When the prince's convoy was still on the way back to Beijing, he got a secret note from the secret agent of the East Factory who was speeding in the opposite direction, "Yu Yu has practiced into the Ziwei Xingyun Palm, and has broken through the seventh layer, ranking one of the four masters in the world!"
Jin Shou, the head of the imperial palace, stretched his head over and looked at it, and he was also sweating, which meant that the emperor was no longer afraid of the emperor, and it was possible to tear his face with the prince at any time, how should this be good? Jin Shou quickly went through all the possible things in his mind, and then he thought that it was better for the prince to continue to stay in the palace.
The crown prince also thought about it back and forth, he couldn't make up his mind, he first opened his mouth and asked Jin Shou: "Chief, you see that the current situation has changed, will this king continue to return to the capital? Or should he return to Zoroastrianism? Should this top-secret plan be implemented now?" Jin Shou has already roughly calculated the plan in his heart, and he said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you must return to the capital, and then reverse back to Zoroastrianism, not only did the twenty years of lurking go down the drain, but also took the initiative to show the people of the world that you fled because of your weak heart, and admitted it without telling yourself...... The emperor's Ziwei Xingyun palm is indeed powerful, but he still has to consolidate for a period of time, and everyone in the world knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the only son of the emperor...... In the process of this transformation, it will take time, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to find an opportunity to kill the Qilin Gongzi from this time!
The prince nodded: "What the chief manager said is like an initiation, the truth is profound, this king has now officially made a decision: the plan to assassinate the prince of Qilin will start immediately, and the chief manager of Jin will plan carefully, and everything must be prepared within a week. The top-secret death plan begins!" "Yes!" the Governor stepped back and carried out the order......
After the emperor's hundred imperial beauties, he did not look tired, but his spirit was more vigorous, which was probably the unique effect of the cultivation of the "Ziwei Xingyun Palm". This kind of exercise can only be learned by the emperor, and others have neither the financial resources nor the power. After the emperor bathed and changed clothes, he immediately recruited his confidants and staff to talk secretly in the Palace of Heart Nourishing.
Secret talks, of course, refer to the expulsion of all eunuchs and palace maids, and no "outsiders" can be present. Historically, the State apparatus has not had military alliances with various religious sects, and if they have been, it has been a short-lived mutual exploitation. The matter of unloading the mill and killing the donkey made all the sects wary of the government, and the government was naturally wary of the fact that the sects would not go and threaten the imperial court.
So the two mutually suspicious alliances never started and ended well. Even so, the government has never offended the sects, after all, the previous emperors have more or less a little political acumen, and they know that those who win the hearts of the people win the world. When the emperor saw that all his confidants and ministers had arrived, he began a crucial conversation: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have stabilized the Ziwei Nebula Palm, except for Satan. I am not afraid of any master in the world, Satan does not interfere in the affairs of the world, so no one in the world can kill me, this prince of mine was maliciously replaced twenty years ago. The real prince has been killed a long time ago, this false prince is like a sharp sword hanging over my head, and now that I have peerless martial arts, it is time to take this sword down. Today, I have summoned you to come here to discuss a good strategy that can kill the prince without angering the Zoroastrians, and it is best to push the prince of Qilin from behind the scenes to the forefront. Let him do his job!"
Jinyiwei commanded Ke Ryu to be the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to kill the fake prince without angering the Zoroastrians, and also make the prince of Qilin make meritorious contributions." The emperor was overjoyed: "Then please come soon!" Ke Ryu bowed again, and then said: "During this time, the Manjin Kingdom in the north gathered 80,000 iron horsemen to cross the border to fight the autumn wind, and the border people in the north of our country suffered greatly and suffered unspeakably. The people have long hoped that the emperor can be the master of the people and personally conquer the enemy, and now they are using this reason to let the prince personally conquer on behalf of the emperor, and the prince of the unicorn will also go together, and then the two armies will do something in front of the battle to let the prince die on the battlefield, and then let the prince of the unicorn return triumphantly, isn't this perfect?"
Emperor Long Yan Dayue: "Okay! This plan is very good, but the prince's martial arts are strong, except for me, you are not his opponents, this assassination may not be easy!" The first assistant minister of the cabinet, the general Meng Tianhong stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the last general thinks that no matter how strong his personal martial arts are, he can't resist the killing of the military camp, as long as the plan is careful and thorough, it is not difficult to kill the prince!"
When the emperor saw that it was his favorite victorious general, Meng Tianhong, who said this, his hanging heart let go of most of it. The emperor clapped his hands happily: "Okay! This Northern Expedition to Manjin will be led by General Mengda, the prince is the deputy marshal, and the prince of Qilin is the vanguard, I don't know how many soldiers and horses General Meng thinks this expedition will take with him?"
The emperor looked at Meng Tianhong at this time, how cute he looked, he couldn't help but clap his hands again: "Okay! The country is in trouble, the society is shaken, but I am the general of Meng and immediately turn the tide!" Such a high praise came out of the emperor's mouth, which completely showed the emperor's favor to Meng Tianhong, of course, Meng Tianhong will also die for the emperor's liver and brain without regrets, Meng Tianhong knelt down on his knees: "Xie Wu Huang is wrong to love, and the last general should repay the emperor's favor with death!" The emperor laughed heartily, this is the laughter he has suppressed for nearly 20 years! The laughter lingered around the beam in the Heart Cultivation Hall for a long time......
The prince's convoy set off in the early hours of the morning, and they wanted to rush to the capital in the emperor's early court, and immediately snipe the unicorn prince after wearing clothes. In the past, the prince let go of the prince of the unicorn, that was because Mo Xin had no ambition and no martial arts, and it was easy to kill him, but it was against the will of the people and would damage the reputation of the prince, so it was said that it was not easy to kill the prince of the unicorn.
Now that the mountains and rains are about to come, it is no longer the time to consider the reputation issue, now there is only to kill the prince of Qilin and launch the "Thunder Plan" to make the 200,000 troops of the camp in Huadong Town sweep the capital on the grounds of supporting the prince and the side of the Qing monarch......
As soon as the prince's motorvoy entered the gate of the capital, a show dart hit the chariot. The chief manager took down the note on the dart and handed it to the prince, who opened it and saw more than a dozen words written on the note: Yinyu is Ayu, and the world is none other than Ayu. The prince seemed to have expected it: "Chief, let Gu Su complete the top-secret death plan today!" The chief steward bowed: "Yes!"
The prince's convoy marched for a while, and a small banner of Jinyiwei came to report in front: "Report to His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has a decree: order the prince to go to the court to listen to the government quickly, there is a major military operation, and the prince will have a heavy responsibility......!"
Above the court, all the civil and military officials arrived, and even the prince of Qilin, who had never been to the court, also came, and the ministers were holding their breath, not even speaking, and everyone had a premonition that a major event was going to happen. The emperor sat upright on the dragon chair with a solemn and serious expression. After waiting for the bell to ring three times, the emperor began to speak: "Ministers, you probably also feel that today's early dynasty seems to be different from before. Yes, today is the day of the Northern Expedition. Two years ago, I had been preparing for this war. I don't want to go to war, because it kills, it displaces hundreds of people, and it costs a huge amount of taxes and silver, and the money will eventually be distributed among the people. But if you don't fight this battle, the Manjin people will think that the Han people are easy to bully, and the Manjin people will have to invade the Central Plains inch by inch, and their purpose is to steal the treasure and enslave the Han people, so this battle must be fought. Today, I officially canonized Meng Tianhong as the generalissimo of the Northern Expedition, and led 40,000 elite soldiers to set off at noon, with the prince as the deputy marshal and the prince of Qilin as the forward general. ”
On the main hall, after the final military deployment, the great Northern Expedition was finally launched. At this time, the time has pointed to noon, and it is time for the Northern Expedition army to set off, and the prince and the prince of Qilin have already entered the army, and the people who have sent them off have been sending them out of Erlidi...... (To be continued......)
