In the past few days, Cao Wen has been living in his father-in-law Wu Sansi's house, he has his own house, and he has also invested in a few shops in Nanshi, and his life is very comfortable, but his father-in-law is Wu Sansi, ambitious, and wants to ascend the throne as the emperor, which is destined for Cao Wen to live a comfortable life. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At dusk, Cao Wen had just come back from the imperial court, and before he had time to meet his wife, his father-in-law Wu Sansi asked him to call him to the study.

"Father-in-law, what's going on?"

As soon as Cao Wen spoke, Wu Sansi stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, "The situation is urgent, something is wrong!"

"Father-in-law, please tell me slowly, what happened?"

Wu Sansi restrained the anxiety in his heart and said, "Just a quarter of an hour ago, Xia Zhong sent someone to bring me a note, the saint is seriously ill, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive for long. ”

Of course, Cao Wen knew that the saint was ill and took a break for five days, but he didn't expect to be so sick, he was secretly surprised, "Is the news accurate?"

"The news is quick and conclusive, and I heard that King Xiang left the capital this afternoon and went to Taiyuan to take up his post. ”

Cao Wen's mind changed sharply, so in this way, the only people competing for the throne would be his father-in-law and Princess Taiping, but why didn't Zhang Yizhi come over for a long time?

He thought for a while and said, "Could Zhang Yizhi have already favored Princess Taiping?"

"That's what I'm worried about. ”

Wu Sansi sighed, "Shengshang is seriously ill, it stands to reason that Zhang Yizhi should tell me immediately, but he has always been silent, this is not like he wants to cooperate with me, and I heard that Zhang Changzong and Princess Taiping have a close relationship, I suspect that they have already chosen Princess Taiping." ”

Cao Wen also knew that the Zhang brothers bet on both sides, supporting both Princess Taiping and Wu Sansi, and the reason why they did not express their attitude was that they wanted to stand at the last moment, which was the least risk for them, but they gave the risk to Wu Sansi and Princess Taiping.

Cao Wen pondered for a moment and said: "I don't think the Zhang family will be so quick to favor Princess Taiping, they will definitely make a statement at the last moment, if the father-in-law pins his hopes on them, then he will make a big mistake, we must rely on ourselves." ”

"I think so too, the key is what do we do?"

Cao Wen took a few steps with his hand in his hand, and said slowly: "Now military power is the most important, the five armies currently guarding the palace, the Thousand Cavalry Battalion, the Yulin Army, the Thousand Niu Guard, the Prison Gate Guard and the Internal Guard, among which the Thousand Cavalry Battalion is in the hands of Li Zhen, the general of the Yulin Army is Wu Youyi, the general of the Prison Gate Guard is Wu Yizong, the General of the Internal Guard is Zhang Li, the General of Qianniu Wei is currently vacant, and the two generals are Wu Yanji and Wu Chongxun, which army does my father-in-law think we can get?"

Wu Sansi didn't know how many times he thought about this question, he smiled bitterly and said: "Chongxun is my son, he will definitely support me, but Wu Yanji is the son of Wu Chenghei, I know he will hate me to the bone, but no matter what, I will definitely get the support of half a thousand cows." ”

Cao Wen shook his head, "Half a Qianniuwei is not enough, I am worried that Li Zhen will support Princess Taiping, then Princess Taiping will have the support of the Qianqi Battalion and the internal guard, Qianniuwei is not their opponent at all, if the father-in-law wants to defeat Princess Taiping, he must win over Wu Yizong or Wu Youyi, if both of them are willing to support his father-in-law, then his father-in-law's ascension to the throne will be nine out of ten." ”

"But Li Dan. ”

Cao Wen shook his head, "That's a matter for the future, after ascending the throne and grasping the power, and then fighting to the death with Li Dan, as long as we have superior forces, Li Dan will definitely be defeated." ”

"Okay, then how can I get Wu Youyi and Wu Yizong to support me?"

"I just need to talk to them, after all, they are all martial artists, and I believe they also know what will happen to Princess Taiping if she ascends the throne. ”

Wu Sansi finally nodded, "Then you go to talk to them on my behalf, and you can promise them all the conditions." ”......

Although there have been a lot of changes in the palace and Wu Sansi's mansion, the Taiping princess's mansion is surprisingly calm, and the Taiping princess seems to have nothing to do with her, she is like a snake, patiently waiting for the opportunity.

In the study, Princess Taiping is receiving a special guest, and her husband Wu Youji is also sitting on the side, although Wu Youji doesn't care about anything, his identity represents another faction of the Wu family.

The special guest was Wu Chenghe's daughter Wu Furong, she originally hated Princess Taiping very much, when she was the deputy commander of the internal guard, and before the seat was hot, she was driven away by the Taiping Gong, and she has been haunted.

But today, Wu Furong wants to turn her rivalry into a jade silk, and she not only represents herself, but also her entire family, including her brother Wu Yanji, Wu Yanyi, Wu Yanshou, and Wu Yanguang.

"My eldest brother is willing to support Her Royal Highness the princess to inherit the throne, no matter what we want to know, what can we get in the future?"

Wu Yanji's statement made Princess Taiping very happy, but she was not surprised, Wu Chengji can be said to have died in the hands of Wu Sansi, Wu Yanji will never help kill his father's enemy, and his husband is the same faction as them, so Wu Yanji's support for himself will be successful.

Princess Taiping said with a smile: "You can get a lot in the future, first of all, everything of the Wu family belongs to you, and their property and lives are at your disposal, and secondly, I will make Brother Ling a prince, as for you, I will give it to you as a princess." ”

Wu Furong was silent for a moment and said, "My eldest brother has another request, I want to hand over Wu Sansi's family to him. ”

"Of course, as I just said, everything in the Wu clan is at your disposal, including Wu Sansi. ”

"Since the princess is sincere, then we will make up our minds. ”

Princess Taiping smiled and said, "I want to know now, what are you going to do?"

Wu Furong took out a letter and handed it to her, "It contains a detailed plan written by my eldest brother, and Her Royal Highness the Princess will know it at a glance." ”

.......

Wu Furong said goodbye and left, Princess Taiping walked to the window with her hands in her hands, staring at a lotus pond outside the window, does it mean that she will also be the last to take the throne.

Despite Princess Taiping's careful planning, there are at least two glaring holes in the entire web she has weaved.

One is that she did not get Li Zhen's full allegiance, Li Zhen only promised to help her deal with the Wu family, but did not promise to support her as emperor.

Princess Taiping knew very well that Li Zhen was still hiding in a secret chess piece, that was Li Chongjun, and others didn't know where Li Chongjun went, but she knew.

Li Chongjun is in Li Zhen's hands, and once Li Zhen controls the overall situation, he is likely to push Li Chongjun out and support Li Chongjun to ascend the throne.

Another loophole is Zhang Cambodia, so far, Zhang Cambodia has remained silent, but Zhang Cambodia is a die-hard supporter of Li Xian.

So whether Zhang Cambodia will get together with Li Zhen because of Li Chongjun is what Princess Taiping is most worried about.

But in any case, Wu Sansi is her number one enemy, before solving Wu Sansi, she doesn't want to have infighting with Li Zhen for the time being, once Wu Sansi is solved, let the Zhang brothers deal with Li Zhen and Zhang Cambodia.

.......

Night fell again, and Zhang Cambodia's mansion was quiet as usual, but in a secret room in the backyard of the mansion, Zhang Cambodia was discussing the current countermeasures with Yao Chong.

But they only represent themselves, but hundreds of court ministers and more local officials, and even the whole world, and the heavy burden is on the shoulders of the two of them.

Seeing that the saint was seriously ill, and there was no prince in the imperial court, the Zhang brothers usurped power, and the Wu family's relatives were forcing each other step by step, the only Li royal family that the magnates could rely on was an ambitious woman, which made the two of them feel helpless.

"I've been to the Luling Mansion today. ”

Zhang Cambodia said in a low voice: "The palace has been completely surrounded by Qianniuwei soldiers, and no one is allowed to enter the palace, and I have not seen His Royal Highness the King of Luling." ”

"What's the use of seeing it?"

Yao Chong sneered and said: "I have already advised you, King Luling has long been ignorant of outside affairs, he has been addicted to Buddhism for three years, and all power is in the hands of Princess Wei, even if he ascends the throne, he is just the second queen of heaven, have you forgotten how the first emperor and Jinshang came to the court together?"

"Shhhhh Zhang Cambodia hurriedly stopped him.

"What else can't be said now, you and I both know that the Holy Lord's life is not long in coming, but at this critical time, His Royal Highness King Xiang was driven to Taiyuan again, and King Shouchun fell into their hands, what should we do?"

Zhang Cambodia's expression was very complicated, and he whispered after a while: "Maybe we can support the King of Xingyi County." ”

The king of Xingyi County is Li Chongjun, since Wei's death, Li Chongjun has also lost contact with the outside world, some people say that Li Chongjun and his father were imprisoned in the Luling Palace, but some people say that Li Chongjun fled and disappeared.

But Yao Chong is Xiangguo after all, and his mind is so sharp, he immediately heard the words of Zhang Khan Zhi's words, and he asked unequivocally: "Could it be that the king of Xingyi County is in Zhang Xiangguo's mansion?"

Zhang Cambodia smiled, but did not answer this question, he looked at Yao Chongdao: "Now that I have formed an alliance with General Li of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion, and the internal guard general Zhang Li has also clearly expressed his support for me, as well as Huan Yanfan, Wang Tongjiao, Cui Xuanwei, Xue Si, Li Zhan, Yang Yuanyan, Jinghui and more than ten other people, all of whom have expressed their stance to advance and retreat with me and support the Tang Dynasty, has Yao Xiangguo decided to stay out of the matter?"

When Yao Chong heard that even Huan Yanfan was standing with Zhang Cambodia, he was extremely shocked in his heart, and asked for a while: "Does Huan Yanfan also support the king of Xingyi County?"

Zhang Cambodia sighed and said: "We have always failed passively in the past, the reason is that we are too entangled in whether it is the king of Luling or the king of Xiang, and as a result, the power is scattered, and now we don't think about who will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty for the time being, our goal this time is to overthrow the Wu clan and maintain Li Tang Jiangshan." ”

Zhang Cambodia took out a letter of alliance from his arms and put it in front of Yao Chong, "Is Yao Xiangguo willing to join?"

Yao Chong saw that the first person was Zhang Khan Zhi, and the second person was Li Zhen, he slowly picked up the pen, trembled his hands, and signed his name on it.
