Lin Shou didn't know how similar Zhang Baigui in front of him was to Zhang Juzheng in his previous life.

However, judging from the performance of the kid in front of him, Zhang Baigui did not live up to the luck that Lin Shou had detected, and even at this age, he could see that some ordinary people could not see it.

Zhong Yunyi also faintly had the same guess as his disciple in his heart at the moment, but for some reason, he didn't say his guess.

And this disciple of his own, who seems to be a newborn calf, is not afraid of tigers, and has no fear to tell his guess.

The second prince was also shocked and speechless when he heard Zhang Baigui's words, but he didn't think of this level at all.

Lin Shou smiled at this time and asked Zhang Baigui, "How did you come up with this guess?" ”

Zhang Baigui looked up at his teacher, his eyes revealing the meaning of inquiry, and the latter naturally nodded and motioned for him to continue.

After getting his teacher's affirmation, Zhang Baigui said slowly: "Your Majesty deliberately read the holy decree in this environment, putting the conflict between the two forces on the surface, and there is no room for reversal, it seems that he is deliberately provoking a dispute. ”

"The eldest prince has been operating in the court for many years, and the forces around him are deep-rooted, and their interests do not want the second prince to ascend to the throne."

"It's just that Bai Gui is stupid and can't understand the reason why His Majesty is doing this, is it to clear the obstacles to His Majesty's successor? But the confusion and losses caused by this will be even greater......"

Jang Baek-gyu said what he thought, but he never came up with the reason for such a thing, so he could only look at his own teacher suspiciously.

Zhong Yunyi felt both relieved and ridiculous in his heart at the moment, the reason for the relief was that his disciple was smart enough to inherit his mantle and even go further than himself, and what he felt ridiculous was that he felt that what his disciple said was correct.

Lin Shou remembered the dense small passage under the capital at this moment, as well as the decapitated prisoner he saw at the gate of the vegetable market, and his soul and essence disappeared inexplicably.

……

……

But before the ceremony was over, the eldest prince hurried back to his mansion, and then lost his temper.

The servants knelt tremblingly on the ground, while the eldest prince held an extremely thick rattan in his hand, with sharp barbs on it.

The eldest prince whipped the rattan angrily and made a sound of breaking through the air, and the servants who knelt on the ground kept trembling, but they didn't even dare to open their eyes.

"Smack!"

The eldest prince flung the rattan at the kneeling servants with resentment, and then two of the servants were beaten in the back.

"Why!"

"Smack!"

"Why not me!"

While whipping, the eldest prince cursed resentfully in his mouth.

Soon one of the servants could not bear the beating, and fell to the ground covered in blood, and a dark red pool of blood appeared on the ground and soaked the servant's kneeling knees.

There were two people who were beaten to death by the prince alive, and the rest of the servants breathed a sigh of relief, they knew that the prince was usually angry after killing two people, and they survived by luck.

But this time it was different, the anger in the prince's heart was far beyond usual, and the whip in his hand was raised again.

"Smack!"

"Damn! I'm the one who deserves to be the crown prince the most! I am the future emperor! ”

Some servants were still rejoicing, but they were whipped on the head, and a deep scar appeared on their face, and then they fell down in a daze.

The remaining servants didn't know why the eldest prince was so angry today, and even when he had already killed two servants to get angry, he still continued to exert his tyrannical punishment.

At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper outside the door hurriedly walked into the hall, looked at the corpses lying on the ground, and did not say anything with indifferent eyes, but walked up to the eldest prince very flatteringly.

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister Song and Mrs. Han you invited have arrived, do you want to meet them now?" The butler spoke in a low voice, as if he knew how much anger there was in the heart of the current eldest prince.

The eldest prince raised the whip in his hand, the end of the whip trembled, and he didn't seem to have completely vented the anger in his chest, and he was hesitating at the moment.

But in the end, reason still prevailed over anger, and let him choose to deal with the right thing first, not to mention that if the next things are handled well, this breath can really be finished.

The eldest prince threw the whip in his hand and smashed it on the back of the head of a servant, and then left the hall without turning his head.

A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of the middle-aged butler's mouth, and then he said indifferently: "What are you still kneeling for, don't clean up this place, if Your Highness comes back and sees that there is still a little blood stain here, then you can choose two more people to die...... Throwing the corpse out is an eyesore. ”

The eldest prince who left the hall came to the meeting room, and in the meeting room sat two middle-aged people in their forties and fifties.

One of them was the prime minister Song Tinghui, who had followed the eldest prince before, and the other was Han Taiwei, who was also the third prince of the dynasty.

Han Taiwei is a monk of the third realm of the military family, and he is like a pillar in the imperial court.

The reason why the hundred officials of the imperial court did not pay much attention to the rebellion in Su Province and other places was that they did not know that there were several gods in the Seven Holy Army, and it was also related to the fact that Han Taiwei was still in the capital.

In addition to their own strong combat power, the military monks are their forte when they command the army to fight, if there are hundreds of thousands of troops at his disposal, it can be said that they are invincible in the third realm.

The only flaw is that the soldier monk relies on the soldier's evil qi to cultivate, and this soldier's evil qi has a serious erosion of the monk himself, so his lifespan is much shorter than that of other monks.

This is also the reason why Han Taiwei rarely makes a move, he is about the same age as Song Tinghui, but he looks much older.

Before entering the meeting room, the eldest prince took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest.

Then he walked into the hall with the same warm smile on his face as he did outside.

The eldest prince took the lead in walking up and saluting the two three princes, and even bowed down to the two three princes, with an extremely humble attitude.

Song Tinghui and Han Taiwei didn't have any expression on their faces, but they arched their hands slightly.

"I just had something important to do, and I couldn't go out to greet you, so please forgive me."

"Don't dare." Captain Han returned, but there was no panic on his face.

Song Tinghui said to the eldest prince bluntly: "Your Highness has something important to discuss with the two of us, you might as well say it clearly. ”

Han Taiwei seemed to have a keen sense of the change in Song Tinghui's attitude, you must know that Song Tinghui had always been a member of the party of the Great Prince before.

The eldest prince smiled, and then looked around with some vigilance, and after confirming that there was no one else, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Prime Minister Song just participated in the apprenticeship ceremony of the second brother with me, but I never thought that my father was a little confused, and he actually made my second brother the crown prince......"

Song Tinghui interrupted the words of the eldest prince, his expression was obviously a little displeased, and said: "Your Highness is cautious, Your Majesty's decision is not something you and I can question. ”

When the eldest prince heard this, his face was a little gloomy, and Song Taiwei said directly: "I just learned about this matter, I don't have any ideas, everything is respected by His Majesty's will." ”

When the words fell, Song Taiwei wanted to turn around and leave directly.

But how could the eldest prince get his wish, this was his own life-saving straw, so he hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed the sleeve of the Han faction, and said in a deep voice: "I know that Taiwei Han has always wanted to seal the territory and tear the land...... I can promise Taiwei that as long as you help me this time, I will definitely give Taiwei the title of king in the future! ”

Han Taiwei's eyes flickered, this promise really scratched his itch, sealing the king and splitting the soil is the highest ambition of a military general, Han Taiwei thinks that his talent is not inferior to that of the Great Qian Taizu back then, so he has always had the idea of being crowned king.

The emperor didn't know that Han Taiwei had such a rebellious idea, but because Han Taiwei's original fact was too useful, he had to not give him a chance, make more contributions, and always put him on Taiwei and did not give him military power to be imprisoned in disguise, otherwise he would have let Han Taiwei go to Su Province and other places to suppress the rebellion.

Although the promise of the eldest prince is very tempting, but Han Taiwei is not a fool, he already knows what the eldest prince wants to do, but it is impossible for Han Taiwei to do this kind of head-killing thing because of a promise, he really wants to tear the earth and seal the king, but he will not easily believe the words of the eldest prince.

So Taiwei Han glanced at the eldest prince coldly, and with a wave of his sleeve robe, he tore away the pull of the eldest prince, and walked straight out of the palace.

The eldest prince's face was gloomy, looking at the figure of Captain Han leaving, his hands clenched in his sleeve robe, not knowing what he was thinking.

The eldest prince was very angry in his heart, but he also knew that now was not the time to express his anger, so he had to pull out an ugly smile and turn to look at Prime Minister Song Tinghui.

"His Royal Highness the Great Prince wants to do that military advice?" Song Tinghui said indifferently.

The eldest prince suddenly felt that something was wrong, and Song Tinghui's tone didn't seem to want to get involved.

But the eldest prince could only bite the bullet and say: "My father must have been confused by traitors, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a decision, you must know that I have been in charge of the country for more than ten years, no matter the merits and hard work, I should inherit that position!" As long as Prime Minister Song is willing to help me and take me to the throne of God, there will be a great reward...... What's more, Prime Minister, you are already considered to be a person from my faction, if the second brother really ascends the throne, he will naturally not reuse you anymore, and maybe even liquidate ......"

In the end, the eldest prince already has the meaning of threatening.

The corners of Song Tinghui's mouth were slightly upturned, with a hint of mockery.

But in the end, he said self-deprecatingly: "I think since His Highness has said so, is there still room for the old man to refuse?" ”

Then Song Tinghui immediately added: "The city guards have been controlled by the old man's men, and the forbidden army inside the palace has also been defended by the old man, but the palace is not so easy to attack." ”

"And the northern and southern armies outside the capital still nominally obey the orders of the Taiwei, so either His Highness finds a way to get the support of the Taiwei, or he needs to capture the palace within half an hour, otherwise the military advice will not be successful."

The eldest prince looked at Song Minghui in front of him with some surprise, one was that he was extremely surprised that Song Tinghui agreed to his request so easily, and the other surprised thing was that it seemed that Song Tinghui had already prepared for the military advice, otherwise how could he explain that the preparations he had made were almost complete.

But in any case, this is a good thing for himself, so the corner of the eldest prince's mouth is on the smile, and he seems to be already imagining the moment when the big thing is about to happen.

Song Tinghui saw the somewhat arrogant smile on the eldest prince's face, and the disdain in his heart became even stronger, but he could only sigh secretly anyway, and then said to the eldest prince: "Since you have promised to help Your Highness do this, then the old man will go down to prepare......"

The eldest prince naturally had no reason to object, and bowed to Song Tinghui again, with an extremely humble attitude.

"Then the trouble is sent to this matter, and it must be kept secret, otherwise I am afraid that it will lead to a catastrophe!"

Song Tinghui nodded in response, the corners of his mouth curled, and he left with a somewhat bitter smile.

……

……

Captain Han rode down the street on a black steed, with his faithful servant leading the reins of the horse for him.

This servant is nominally a servant, but in fact, he is Captain Han's personal soldier, and he is also the successor of the future general he has carefully cultivated, and his name is Ah Chang.

Ah Chang held the reins for Captain Han, and the speed of the horse was neither fast nor slow.

"Tai Wei, what is the matter with the eldest prince looking for you?"

The corners of Captain Han's mouth twitched into a mocking sneer, and then his lips moved slightly and spit out two words: "Stupid thing!" ”

When Ah Chang heard this, he didn't ask any more questions.

But Mrs. Han suddenly realized that something was wrong, why was there no one on this street when it was too quiet?

For a capital city with such a large population, every street is full of people, unless the emperor travels and clears it in advance.

The streets look like everything is normal, there is no one left, and that's the biggest anomaly.

Captain Han squinted vigilantly, and the black-red evil qi on his body rolled up like a storm.

A cold wind blew, but a figure appeared in front of Captain Han's horse.

A woman dressed in white and wearing a white veil and a slug decoration in her hair bun appeared in front of him, holding a white jade gourd in her hand.

"You are the Bodhisattva next to Your Majesty, right?"

Han Taiwei said in a cold tone, daring to stop herself on the street, no matter who she was or what she thought, she had undoubtedly offended her majesty.

"It seems that he is a monk in the third realm of Buddhism, did he want to have a discussion with the old man when he stopped him?"

But the Bodhisattva in white was silent.

"Golagi Bodhisattva ......" The evil qi on Captain Han's body condensed into a hideous beast, and it seemed that it was about to roar and rush towards the thin woman in white in the next moment.

But the Bodhisattva only twisted his fingers and made a strange mudra in his hand.

Suddenly, the heavens and the earth changed color, and Han Taiwei found that endless malice was rushing towards him, and he was horrified to find that this was no longer the present world, but a subspace!

And in front of him, the handsome face of the Bodhisattva Karaji was torn apart from the center, and the whole head and body were torn apart like a big mouth.

Two wet, sticky tentacles protruded from the crack......
