"Shaoyu is humble, if you don't fight in Jinling City and Sui'an City this time, I'm afraid that the palace has not yet sat down, and you will be targeted by the remnants of the previous dynasty, so in terms of meritorious deeds, you should be the first merit!" After everything is enthroned in this palace, it is natural that there will be a big reward, and you will be the first-class prince of this palace! ”

The first-class duke with a different surname is the highest title among all dukes, even the former Marshal Gu and the Duke of Shang did not receive this honor, but asked Gu Shaoyu to take this title.

Although Guo Xiang and the queen felt that this name was a little bigger, it was understandable to think of his merits, so they were very much in favor of such a reward, so they did not open their mouths to stop it.

On the contrary, Gu Shaoyu felt that it was too much, but before he could speak, the prince changed the topic and said.

"Now that the external troubles have been eliminated, the internal worries should also be solved."

What the prince meant by it, it couldn't be clearer, this is the time to liquidate the power of the four princes.

In the past, the most powerful people who followed him were the Wei family and the Dingping Marquis Mansion, as well as the so-called military advisor Jin Zuo Shilang, but many people in the Four Princes had already been poached by Jin Zuo Shilang, so they pulled out a lot of the whole body.

After the nature of these people is certain, the Four Princes basically have no supporters, but the Dingping Marquis Mansion is more eye-catching, and I am afraid that at this moment, I also know that black clouds are going to overwhelm the city.

Therefore, the prince's intention is to clear the Dingping Marquis Mansion, so that the four princes who have their left and right arms are broken, naturally have no way to escape.

Thinking of this, Guo Xiang said a word in a scheming manner.

"I don't necessarily want to clear it, Your Highness, don't forget that the Dingping Marquis Mansion also holds a lot of private property in its hands, if it can be surrendered, it will be a good chess piece."

And the best way to surrender is to have a daughter enter the palace, anyway, the new emperor ascends the throne to expand the harem, so it is not a bad thing to have more palace concubines with the help of a family.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, the prince said to Guo Xiang.

"What my grandfather said is, since this is the case, then leave this matter to you to deal with, Shaoyu forget it, the palace is afraid that as soon as he arrives at the Dingping Marquis Mansion, the people inside will be so scared that they will pee their pants."

As soon as these words came out, several people smiled slightly.

It's just that because he is still in the place where the emperor rests, he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.

When the poor fourth prince was still in the mansion, what he thought was the most solid backing was gradually disintegrating.

After Dingping Hou listened to what Guo Xiang had just said, the whole person fell into silence.

If Wu'er was still there, then he would definitely not agree to this condition today, but now that his involvement with the Four Princes' Mansion has been cut off, if he blindly follows, wouldn't he be killing himself.

Besides, from the beginning, what he cared about was whether his grandson could ascend to that position, since there was no such one, then there would be the next one, and since the four princes were not successful, it would be a good policy to take refuge in the new emperor.

It's just that can it really go as smoothly as Guo Xiang said?

In any case, they were also hostile people, what if they coaxed the Dingping Marquis Mansion to surrender, and then had murderous intent?

Guo Xianglin has been in the dynasty for decades, and he can't see any expression, so he stroked his beard and said.

"With the momentum of Shaoyu, and now that the Tiger Ben Army is outside, and the situation including the City Defense Division, if I don't open this mouth, how many days does the Hou Mansion of Dingping think there are still days? So it's not that we have no way out, we have to come to negotiate peace with you, but the old man really can't bear to be miserable, you can persuade the fourth prince to break off contact with the Wei family, which means that your brain is still normal, and you also know that Daxing is the root, so as soon as the power of the prince of the previous dynasty is pulled out, how many seats will be vacated, and there are also a few descendants of the Dingping Marquis Mansion who are outstanding, why not serve Daxing at this time? ”

I have to say that Guo Xiang's conditions are really charming.

first gave the Dingping Marquis Mansion a chance to climb, and then gave him the possibility to climb up, so under such a trade-off, if he delayed the descendants of the whole clan for his own obsession, then he would be too stupid to be the Hou Ye and the patriarch.

So, take a deep breath, and when you look down again, the dust has already settled.

"It is not impossible for me to be loyal to the new emperor in the Dingping Marquis Mansion, but Guo Xiang must guarantee me that if the descendants of my Dingping Marquis Mansion enter the court, they will not be affected by the past."

"Hahahaha, what kind of character does the old man have, isn't it clear to the Hou Ye? As long as the descendants of the Marquis of Dingping are bent on the good of the great prosperity and the good of the new emperor, they ask me to give up the position of prime minister, and I also agree! ”

What he said was above board, and Dingping Hou knew that this was indeed the case after dealing with him for many years, so he didn't struggle any longer, and immediately said.

"When the new emperor ascends the throne, I am willing to give out three percent of the family's wealth, send my daughter into the palace, and congratulate the new dynasty!"

At this point, Guo Xiang also knew that it was done.

This guarantee of Dingping Marquis also means that the forces under him that used to follow the four princes have also collapsed and become a sharp sword to support the new emperor.

As the saying goes, if you want to vote for your name, and the name of the Pinghou Mansion is naturally the fate of these four princes.

Seven days have passed, and the outside of the prince's mansion is heavily guarded, but the inside is quiet and frightening.

The four princes were worried, but it was useless, so they could only use wine to kill their sorrows.

It wasn't until he saw the Marquis of Dingping walk in that his eyes lit up, and then he threw away the wine bottle in his hand and walked over excitedly and said.

"Why is my father-in-law here? But everything is settled out on the outside? ”

When he heard this, the Marquis of Dingping was a little disdainful in his heart, and when he looked at the person in front of him like mud, he felt that he was really blind in the past.

It's not good to choose anyone, and it is ridiculous to choose someone who can't afford to take the lead.

But fortunately, he took the wrong step, and there is still a way back, so he will never let the fourth prince become an obstacle to his return, so he looked at him sharply, and then said.

"The fourth prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thinking of a game with your brother, so he specially asked the old minister to send you off, born in this royal family, it is your luck and your misfortune, don't complain if you become a king or lose, let's go on the road, in the next life, I will live a little idle life in a rich and noble family, this kind of battle is not suitable for you."

In one sentence, the plans and dreams of the four princes for many years were shattered, and the four princes' eyes widened and they couldn't believe that the person in front of them would say such a thing, so they said indignantly.

"You're betrayed?"

"Daxing was originally the crown prince's prison country, and now that His Majesty is dead, it is natural for the prince to ascend the throne, isn't it?"
