Out of the imperial study.

Concubine Shu's face sank with a "sigh".

After returning to Qingyue Palace, Concubine Shu summoned her maid Xiang'er and said, "Immediately take my secret letter to Xie Mansion." ”

"Yes, sissy."

After receiving the secret letter, Xiang'er quickly left the palace.

"Damn..."

"Your Majesty has been getting colder and colder to me lately."

"Guo Tianyi's achievements in this fight are impressive."

"Your Majesty didn't reward him before."

"If he returns, he will surely ascend to the throne of prince..."

"My emperor has no chance at all..."

Concubine Xie Manrong was lying on the soft floor, her slender thighs hanging on the side of the bed at will, and many thoughts surged in her heart.

A way must be found to prevent Guo Tianyi from ascending to the position of the prince.

Otherwise, it's all over.

In the past, she relied on His Majesty's favor for her, thinking that as long as her son grew up, he would have a bright day sooner or later.

But now it seems...

Hope is extremely slim.

The other side.

Another force in the court was not idle.

It was the King of Wei.

The king of Wei often visited Concubine Shu in the early days and asked her to say goodbye.

The purpose is to unite and deal with Guo Tianyi.

They all have a common political enemy, that is, Guo Tianyi.

Everyone knows that if Guo Tianyi returns to Beijing, he will definitely soar.

This is the last thing they want to see.

Once Guo Tianyi is appointed as the prince, they will never turn over.

The prince will have a private office yamen, and there are hundreds of officials under his command to assist the emperor in handling large and small political affairs of the imperial court.

This is also the reason why Emperor Fengjing has always asked Guo Tianyi to study government affairs in the cabinet and various ministries.

Moreover, the prince represents the future king, and there will be many courtiers and generals to show their loyalty.

Unless the prince has done something very wrong, causing the court to suffer heavy losses, or causing anger and resentment, he will be deposed.

This was the case with the former crown prince.

Led an army of 300,000 to the march.

More than half of the loss.

Nearly lost the northern territories.

Therefore, the former prince also became the first prince of Daebong to be deposed.

But historically, very few princes have been deposed.

Xie Fu.

This is the residence of Xie Zhida, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

When Xiang'er came to Xie's mansion, she entered through the back door and handed Xie Manrong's secret letter to Xie Zhida.

After Xie Zhida read the letter, his face was full of sadness, and he called the other two to talk late at night.

They are Gong Wei, the Qing of Dali Temple.

Young Fu Qifeng.

Gong Wei, the secretary of Dali Temple, is also a relative of the Xie family, and quickly sat in the position of Dali Temple Secretary by virtue of the relationship between the concubines in the palace.

Young Fu Qifeng is a loyal supporter of the Wei Dynasty's party.

"Two, Concubine Shu said that His Majesty is becoming more and more cold to him." Xie Zhida looked at the two and said, "Your Majesty's mind is now on King Han, we have to think of a way to prevent King Han from becoming the prince?" ”

If an outsider were here, he would be so shocked that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

The three important ministers of the court actually wanted to plot to prevent Guo Tianyi from ascending to the position of prince.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in political struggles.

Because their positions are different.

If Guo Tianyi becomes the prince and becomes the emperor again, their life will definitely not be easy.

Even the family can have a disaster.

"Alas...," Gong Wei sighed and said, "We thought that Guo Tianyi might not be able to come back with 20,000 soldiers and horses to the northwest, after all, the princes of the northwest are not good at stubble, but who would have thought that things would be like this?" ”

Qi Feng was also full of sorrow, and said, "Who said it wasn't, I thought that something would happen to King Han, but the ghost knew that he was so fierce, and he actually managed nearly 200,000 troops in the northwest with only 20,000 soldiers and horses..."

"Two, this is the end of the matter, what's the use of talking about this?" Xie Zhida said dissatisfied, "Many people had such thoughts before, but now that the King of Han has repeatedly made military exploits, it is a high probability event to ascend to the position of the prince, we should study how to prevent him from ascending to the position of the prince is the right way..."

Hearing this, the other two were silent.

Oh, yes.

If you want to stop Guo Tianyi from becoming the prince, you must finalize a plan early.

Otherwise, when Guo Tianyi returns to Beijing, it will be too late.

Once Guo Tianyi is appointed as the prince, according to Guo Tianyi's current talents and performance, he will never make the same mistake as the former prince.

Enthronement is also a sure thing.

"Or..."Gong Wei, who is the secretary of Dali Temple, has handled many cases and knows the most routines, and whispered, "Why don't we make a piece of evidence, and say that His Royal Highness the King of Han supports the army and wants to rebel?" ”

Gong Wei continued, "Anyway, now that the King of Han is recruiting troops and horses in the northwest to rectify the rule of officials, and also promoting cronies, as long as the charges are confirmed, it will definitely make His Majesty suspicious..."

Without waiting for Qi Feng to finish speaking, Young Fu Qi Feng shook his head and said, "If this trick is absolutely used against ordinary princes and kings with different surnames, it will definitely not work when used on His Royal Highness the King of Han, but it will cause fire to the body and bring disaster to us and others." ”

"What Lord Qi said is good." Xie Zhida also nodded and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Han is now quite popular with the people, and His Majesty has a lot of trust in him, even the old ministers such as Taiwei Wang Yuan and the Prime Minister have a good relationship with him, this plan will definitely not work." ”

"Don't forget."

"Yuwen Yuanzhen is the first person in the army."

"Even he is the man of the King of Han."

"How can it be successful?"

"Again."

"His Royal Highness the King of Han is His Majesty's own son, His Majesty's dragon health is not good, as long as the King of Han becomes the prince, he will be the emperor in a few years, why should he rebel?"

"On the contrary, if our people dare to join the king of Han like this, they will invite great disasters."

"It's not right, it's not right..."

Xie Zhida is the cousin of Concubine Xie Manrong, and he has long been as shrewd as an old fox after many years of mixing in officialdom.

Such a strategy, he explained the benefits and disadvantages in a few words.

"Yes." Qi Feng nodded and said, "Even if the person we sent to join the King of Han will be beheaded, Your Majesty will investigate it thoroughly, and it will be difficult for me to guarantee it when the time comes..."

"What then?" Gong Wei frowned and said, "Niangniang can't say a few words in front of His Majesty now, by the way...!" ”

Gong Wei's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of another plan, and said, "If we can't directly join the King of Han, can we start with the woman next to the King of Han?" ”

Gong Wei is a relative of the Xie family.

Naturally on Xie Zhida's side.

also strongly supports Concubine Xie Manrong, and also hopes that Concubine Shu's son King Zhou can become the crown prince.

In that case, he can guarantee a lifetime of glory and wealth.

Otherwise, when the king of Han ascends the throne, he will definitely clean them up one by one and replace them with his own people.

"What's more?" Young Fu Qifeng was shocked, "The wife of the King of Han is the daughter of Princess Susu, Princess Susu is the heart of the Queen Mother, although Princess Wu is a princess of different races, but she doesn't even have a friend in Dafeng, she is in Chengde Palace all day long, and there is no place to splash dirty water if we splash it..."

"Haha." Gong Wei smiled confidently, shook his head and said, "Lord Qi, I'm not talking about the wife and concubine of His Royal Highness King Han, but the mother and concubine of His Royal Highness King Han?" ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Xie Zhida's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Concubine Rong is not loved by His Majesty, and this woman's popularity in the palace is not good, if it weren't for the rise of King Han, her sense of existence would almost be none, if we sent someone to provoke her in it, so that she angered Your Majesty and was beaten into the cold palace by Your Majesty..."

"With such a concubine."

"I'm afraid that King Han won't be able to ascend the throne smoothly, right?"

Xie Zhida was scheming and immediately figured out the circle.

In terms of conspiracy and trickery, it still depends on Gong Wei.

The more the three of them talked, the more excited they became, and they all felt that this strategy had a great chance of success.
