Chapter 170: Exploitation
When Gongzi Xiu heard this, he said with a solemn face: "There was someone behind Gongzi Sheng who was unwilling just now?" Could it be the shadow of Shaofu Zhao? ”
Wei Man nodded and said: "Gongzi Mingjian, this Gongzi Sheng was born to Zhao Ji's sister Zhao Ji after all, and it is understandable that he wants to carry his own nephew up, if it weren't for Zhao Ji's early death, this person who presided over the Xuanzheng Yuan may not have Huo Zheng's turn to do anything, maybe the prince has already been replaced by Gongzi Sheng, and he Zhao Shu may have been the prime minister of Zhao Cheng with infinite scenery now." ”
"What a pity! It's better to count people, I suspect that this Zhao Shu also wants to get Gongzi Sheng into the palace to operate well, but if it's not good, it may not be possible to really turn it over. ”
When Gongzi Xiu heard this, he said excitedly: "Okay! Good! Help me, this waste is already young, but are you sure Gongzi Sheng is in the palace? ”
Wei Man shook his head and said: "I'm not sure that Gongzi Sheng is 100% in the palace, but I'm sure that Gongzi Sheng is 100% not in his own mansion, but this is not important, the important thing is to make the East Palace believe that Gongzi Sheng is in the palace, this is the key." ”
Gongzi repaired his chin and said: "What Mr. said is extremely true, as long as my dear fourth brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince believes that it is enough, I really didn't expect that there would be a chance for things to turn around." ”
Gongzi Xiu thought of Zhao Shu's old horseman, and was vaguely uneasy in his heart, and said, "Mr. Wei, how do you think Shaofu Zhao Shu will operate Gongzi Sheng's ascendancy?" ”
Wei Man smiled lightly and said: "It's nothing more than what we think, the four words "abolish the long and the young", at this stage, we don't have to pay too much attention to Zhao Shu, the old horseman, our common interest now is to get rid of the prince, as long as the prince dies, or the prince is deposed, then it is time for us to start the real competition." ”
Childe repaired his head and said: "Mr. is reasonable, Mr. is really my arm." ”
After that, Gongzi Sheng laughed a long time.
Wei Man smiled slightly, as if he had won the battle......
Qingyang City, in a private room in Chunjiang Building, Wu Xie is playing chess at the moment, while leisurely pouring himself a drink, the window of the private room is facing the river flowing through the city, the river is full of people, boats come and go, it is very lively.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door of the private room, and after the door was pushed open, I saw that the person who came was wearing a hat, and his face could not be seen clearly, and he was not tall, but he was dressed very ordinary.
When Wu Xie saw him enter the door, he poured a glass of wine for the visitor, and did not say hello, the visitor seemed to have long been used to it, he took off the hat and put it aside, and also drank a glass of wine by himself.
He turned his head to look at the scenery outside, and sighed: "Old Wu, you are quite good at picking places, and the location of this inconspicuous wine shop facing the scenery is very good......"
Wu Xie smiled slightly: "Well, it's really not bad, I'm the owner of the wine shop now, if you have free time in the future, you can come here to drink, and the wine money will be counted in my account." ”
The visitor drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "That feeling is good!" It also saved a lot of wine money, and I, Feng, will definitely come here to drink wine, and see if I can't drink you. ”
The person who came was Feng Wei, the doorman of An Guojun's mansion.
When Wu Xie heard this, he smiled and said, "You don't want to drink poor me in your life." ”
Feng Wei took another sip of wine, and only said an inexplicable sentence: "Old Wu, get down to business, the fish has been hooked." ”
Wu Xie said with a solemn face: "Okay! Very good! If there is no Gongzi Xiu to add a fire to his back, the prince may not really dare to make up his mind to admonish. ”
A trace of admiration flashed in Feng Wei's eyes, and said: "Old Wu, I really convinced you, Gongzi is just an idle clan now, you can give him Kuang into the bureau, if Gongzi knows that his position as a feudal monarch is a bureau between you and Lao Zhao, I really don't know, how should Gongzi feel." ”
Wu Xie heard this, smiled and said, "Don't take me, this is Lao Zhao's genius, now Gongzi Sheng has been removed from the title of king, there is a lot to do, if things can be done, even if Your Majesty is aware of this, Your Majesty will not suspect us, let alone suspect a son who has no intention of competing for the throne, but we should not be too early now, this is only the first step, whether you can send Gongzi up, in the end it depends on the mind." ”
Feng Wei said in disbelief: "Old Wu, I don't understand, you are also from a wealthy family in the Yue Kingdom, your family has thousands of acres of fertile land, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing, you don't do well as an official, you will throw your face at your boss at every turn, and when Zhao Shu was the county guard of Zhuo County, the two of you can still get along, why do you have to get involved in this battle for the storage position?" Lao Zhao, what benefits did he give you? Do you have to send his own nephew to such a heart-to-heart? This one is not good, it may be a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan! ”
Wu Xie smiled slightly: "In life, there are some things that I know I can't do, and I do it, only in this way, it is not in vain to go through the world, aside from my personal relationship with Lao Zhao, if I can send Gongzi Sheng to the throne of this Great Jin, I Wu has no regrets in this life." ”
"After all, Gongzi also has half of the blood of our Yue people, if he can sit on the throne of the Jin people who have fought desperately for hundreds of years, it will also be counted as a revenge for the destruction of my Yue country in the year of the curtain year."
Feng Wei bowed slightly: "Yes, it's still Lao Wu, your state of mind is high, and I can only be a high mountain." ”
Wu Xie said: "To be able to make this game, Lao Zhao has also made a lot of efforts behind his back, otherwise it is impossible for the prince to be recruited into the palace in advance as a key wedge to pry the situation." ”
When Feng Wei heard this, he sighed: "The pearl thief, the country thief, the so-called thief of the country, is it you and Lao Zhao......"
When Wu Xie heard this, he smiled indifferently and said, "Thief? Not to mention, Gongzi Sheng is still the bloodline of His Majesty today......"
Wu Xie said, facing the chessboard in front of him, holding the black chess, took a step, and said thoughtfully:
"I don't know if I and Lao Zhao together can be qualified to play a game with His Majesty today, it is too early to win, this is just the beginning, and the good show is still to come......"
When Feng Wei heard this, he was noncommittal.
Qingyang Palace, the main hall of the East Palace, at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was reviewing the folds, Shaoqing, a mysterious messenger holding a gold medal, all the way unimpeded put a secret letter on the desk of His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince read the secret letter, his face became extremely ugly, and handed over the secret letter to Qin Shao and others.
Qin Shao read the content of the secret letter, his face was solemn, and he sighed: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we don't have to wait, we must let the two traitors Huo and Lu give a clear law when we break into the palace today." ”
After Liu Yu read the secret letter, he also said: "I really didn't expect Huo and Lu to be so shameless, and they will understand it directly, and they will only release Cui Xiangguo when His Majesty comes out." ”
The prince got up and turned around a few times and asked, "What do you think, what the hell are Huo and Lu Errandi doing?" ”
Liu Yu said: "There are two possibilities, Your Majesty has already returned, and there is another possibility, Your Majesty's cultivation has gone wrong and you can't manage the government, so Huo Lu and the others have been deliberately delaying time." ”
After hearing this, Qin Shao agreed: "I agree with Liu Yu's analysis, I have a plan, we can use this to test what Huo and Lu Errandi want to do?" ”
When the prince heard what Qin Shao said, he nodded yes.
At this time, outside the east gate of the Extreme Palace, the prince personally brought the civil and military officials of the foreign dynasty to the east gate, but found that the Taiji Palace, the palace gate was closed, and they couldn't break through if they wanted to, unless they found siege equipment to break in, but once the siege equipment was used, the nature of the whole thing changed.
The prince stepped forward and shouted to the forbidden army soldiers on the palace gate, wanting to see Prime Minister Huo Cheng, the forbidden army officer lay on the city tower and saw that it was the prince, he didn't dare to slack off a little, and immediately turned around to inform Prime Minister Huo Cheng of the Xuanzheng Yuan.
When Huo Zheng heard this, he soon arrived at the palace gate, and when he saw that the prince was leading hundreds of civil and military officials to break into the palace, he was extremely helpless, and he did not dare to offend the prince, as long as he stood on the city tower, he bowed to the prince from afar, and said:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come from afar, and the ministers have missed the welcome."
Before the prince could speak, a princeling official next to him stepped forward and pointed at Huo Zheng and reprimanded: "Prime Minister Huo, this is how you greeted His Royal Highness the Prince?" Where are the courtiers who stand on the tower to welcome the king? It's really rude, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of the country, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, Prime Minister Huo, why don't you open the palace door quickly and greet His Royal Highness the Prince? ”
When Huo Zheng heard this, his face changed slightly, and he still politely bowed his hand to the prince: "Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, it is not that the minister is rude, but that the minister is under the emperor's order, and the palace door will be closed from today onwards, and outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave at will. ”
The official next to him just wanted something, but the prince waved his hand to stop it, and said to Huo Zheng on the city tower: "Huo Xiangguo, Lone understands your difficulties, Lone came here today, not to forcibly break into the palace, Lone came here today just to see His Majesty, Lone also prepared His Majesty's favorite medicinal meal, which was made by Erchen himself, in order to express his son's filial piety." ”
When Huo Zheng heard this, he was helpless in his heart, and secretly slandered himself, what is the broken medicinal diet, now His Majesty likes to eat raw meat with blood, if you really have filial piety, it may be better to pull a live cow and a live sheep to pay homage to filial piety.
Huo Zheng said: "His Royal Highness the Prince's filial piety to His Majesty, the ministers are inexplicably impressed, and the ministers will definitely convey it on their behalf and let Your Majesty know." ”
Immediately ordered a forbidden soldier to go down to the city to get the medicinal food of His Royal Highness the Prince, only to see the palace gate slightly open a gap that had just barely passed through a person, and ran out of a forbidden soldier, he stepped forward and respectfully bowed to His Royal Highness the Prince, and wanted to ask for the medicinal food brought by the prince, the prince waved his hand and ignored it.
When the prince saw this, he knew that Huo Zheng was closing the palace door tightly, otherwise they would go in, the prince stepped forward to take the food box from the hands of his entourage, and stepped forward to say to Huo Zheng:
"Thank you Prime Minister for your kindness, I still want to meet the monarch in person, pay homage to filial piety in front of the emperor, and hope that the prime minister can be accommodating and let my father and son meet."
Huo Zheng didn't expect the prince to come so suddenly, this is the biggest reason to oppress people with filial piety, if he is still stubborn, it is not even easy to find an excuse, so he had to respond helplessly:
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Majesty is cultivating in the Qing Dynasty, it is really inconvenient to disturb, His Royal Highness the Prince, please rest assured, the minister will definitely convey His Royal Highness the Prince's filial piety to His Majesty."
At this time, Qin Shao, who was following the prince, finally couldn't help it, and stepped forward to accuse Huo Zheng and said: "Huo Xiangguo, Weichen respects you as the prime minister, the prime minister is not only the head of the hundred officials, but also the example of the hundred officials, how can you stop His Royal Highness the prince from respecting filial piety in front of the emperor, my dynasty has always encouraged filial piety, and filial piety is the first for the monarch and the minister, do you want to put His Royal Highness the prince in a situation of disloyalty and unfilial piety?" ”
When Huo Zheng heard this, he had mixed feelings in his heart, his complexion kept changing, and as if he had made a decision in his heart, he bowed to the prince on the city tower:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, wait a minute, I will go to the Inner Palace to ask His Majesty for his will."
As Huo Zheng disappeared behind the city tower, Qin Shao smiled proudly, it depends on how you, the old thief Huo, behave.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned his head and asked Qin Shao, "Qin Shao, do you think Huo Zheng will let Gu go to see Your Majesty?" ”
Qin Shao stepped forward and said firmly: "Huo Zheng will definitely try his best to prevent His Highness from entering the palace, if Huo Zheng dares to risk the big disapproval this time and prevent His Highness from entering the palace to face the saint, this is clear, Lu and Huo must have great plans, Your Majesty is afraid that it is also more auspicious, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you must prepare early......
The prince was shocked when he heard this, he knew what the four words of early preparation meant, just in case, he had to seize power in advance.
