"For the good of General Pang. Uncle Nine said lightly, "This time, the crown prince transferred you back to the imperial capital without permission, and there was neither a will, nor a resolution of the ministers of the court, so once General Pang makes a rash move, it is likely to cause incalculable losses." ”

"Loss?" Pang Hai wondered, "What can General Ben have to lose? The crown prince is the true son of heaven who will inherit the throne in the future, and it is only natural for this general to obey the instructions of His Royal Highness the crown prince." ”

"If the crown prince succeeds in seizing the heir, he will be the emperor, but what if he doesn't succeed?" Uncle Nine said slowly, "If you don't succeed, you will be a rebel and a thief." ”

Suddenly, his expression became solemn, "It is a big crime to raise troops to rebel, General Pang obeyed the dispatch of the prince, regardless of the safety of the border, and led troops into the imperial capital city without permission. ”

Pang Hai's expression became uncertain, and his eyes were faintly murderous.

"But General Pang doesn't have to worry, as long as the general can stay still until noon tomorrow, not only will he be safe and sound, but he will also get two million gold coins. Huang Jiu smiled, "Although General Pang is a fourth-grade official, he may be promoted to a third-level official soon, but he is only a general of the Changyang Legion, which is not much money to collect." ”

The corners of Pang Hai's mouth twitched, and he said in a low tone: "Do you think the prince will fail?"

"Of course, not only will you fail, but you will also die. Uncle Nine said firmly.

"If you say this, aren't you afraid of death? Slandering the emperor's relatives at will is a big crime to kill your head, not to mention that you are still slandering the crown prince! General Ben can take you down right now. ”

"Hehe, I'm not slandering, I'm telling the truth. Uncle Nine smiled and glanced at the gate of the handsome tent, "And you don't dare to kill me." ”

"You only brought six people this time, even if there are all the guards of your Yunhai City nearby, it is only six thousand, you know, General Ben is bringing an army of 150,000 this time. Pang Hai looked at the three talismans on the table.

"Yunhai City is not only rich, but also people!" "Uncle Jiu" laughed without the slightest fear, "Don't forget, except for a few of An Lushan's 30,000 troops who died at the hands of Lord Qi, most of them surrendered. ”

Pang Hai's eyes became dark, and he asked, "You also brought the Lion Legion this time?"

Uncle Nine shook his head, "Now it should be called the Fourth Legion of the City Guard, 20,000 people." ”

Pang Hai was silent, his eyes slowly looking at the stack of silver tickets in front of him.

Suddenly, he looked at Uncle Nine with burning eyes, "General Ben doesn't believe it! 20,000 troops, how could the scouts not find out!"

Uncle Jiu's expression remained unchanged without the slightest hesitation, "Let your scouts go to the mountains and forests in the east to see if there are any troops standing there." ”

Pang Hai stared at Uncle Nine tightly, but he couldn't see any flaws on Uncle Nine's face, not even a little bit of guilt.

After half a ring, he spoke: "Why did the prince lose? As far as I know, there are 150,000 guards in the city, and there are 30,000 guards in the north of the city, even if you have 20,000 lion legions, you can't stop the prince from ascending the throne!"

Uncle Nine was overjoyed in his heart, and knew in his heart that Pang Hai was shaken.

"General Pang, are you really the eldest princess and our boss have no backhand? Although there are 150,000 guards, are they really loyal to the crown prince? In addition..."Uncle Jiu smiled, "Others may not know the old man, but you do know that once the old man not only lived on the street in order to escape for his life, but even disguised himself as a beggar and grabbed food with dogs, and I was the most afraid of death." ”

He said this to scare Pang Hai, he was sure that Pang Hai was full of greed for money, and he was sure that he had no confidence in the battle and loyalty of the Guards.

"Report to the general, the prince's envoy has come to ask for a meeting!" At this time, the soldiers' shouts came from outside the door.

Pang Hai didn't speak immediately, and looked at the desk in front of him with a tangled expression.

Uncle Nine knew that the envoy was coming over now to announce the prince's order, and whether Pang Hai could listen to his words or not would be revealed immediately.

If Pang Hai didn't listen, he would even break the net and kill himself now.

"Lord Huang, you wait behind the screen for a while, and then we will continue to talk when General Ben asks the envoy what is going on. ”

Now Pang Hai has even changed the title of Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Jiu's heart was also relaxed a little, then he stood up, shook the robe on his body, and slowly walked behind the screen in the handsome tent.

Pang Hai stared at Uncle Nine tightly, but he was disappointed again, Uncle Nine was calm, without the slightest nervousness or uneasiness.

"Meet General Pang!" a young officer in armor walked in.

Pang Hai nodded, "The envoy came late at night, I don't know what happened?"

The young officer took out a piece of letterhead from his bosom and placed it on Pang Hai's desk, "This is a secret letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the general. ”

Pang Hai sighed, then unfolded the letterhead.

Soon, he frowned, "Enter the city early tomorrow morning and go directly to the palace?"

The young officer arched his hand and said: "Yes, tomorrow morning, the prince rebelled on the side of the Qingjun, the emperor has been bewitched by the eldest princess over the years, and he is addicted to the harem every day and can't extricate himself, the prince, as the son of the emperor, can't bear to be played with by his father, so he will revolt early tomorrow morning and go directly to the palace to rescue the emperor." ”

Pang Hai snorted coldly in his heart, "What you say is good, but in fact, they are all liars! Seizure of power is seizure of power, what kind of emperor is fooled, your father is willing to indulge in the harem, can you manage it?"

But he only dared to mutter a few words in his heart.

"I heard that there are 150,000 guards in the city, and there are so many people, do you still need this general to lead troops into the city?

As soon as Pang Hai's voice fell, the ninth uncle behind the screen raised his heart to his throat in vain!

Although Pang Hai's words seemed to be shirking and entering the city on the surface, he was actually testing the prince's control over the guards.

Uncle Jiu's eyes became deeper, he seemed to underestimate Pang Hai's desire for money, Pang Hai's rank and status have been rising over the years, and his desire for money has also become a little lighter.

"General Pang is right, there are 150,000 guards in the city, but the prince is worried that someone will take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, so the prince hopes that General Pang will lead troops to guard the periphery of the palace, so as not to let the villains hiding in the shadows have a chance. The young officer was calm and calm.

"Hehe, all the 300,000 troops have entered the imperial capital, this is really lively. Pang Hai said with a smile.

The young officer also smiled, "It's getting late, and the prince is still waiting for this envoy to reply." ”

Pang Hai slowly stood up from his seat and paced back and forth, "Did the prince say anything else besides this?"

"If General Pang hadn't reminded him, this envoy would have almost forgotten. "The young officer bowed his hand to the top of the tent," said His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the edict of the new commander of the Changyang Legion was already waiting for the general in the palace. ”

"General Ben is deeply loved by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he has been doing his best to die for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," Pang Hai looked behind the screen, "General Ben still has a guest here, and the envoy will bring it back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Uncle Jiu's heart sank, he knew that Pang Hai was going to sell him.

It seems that Pang Hai is sure that the 150,000 guards in the city and his 150,000 Changyang Legion can resist the 20,000 lion army of the Fourth Legion.

This night, many people couldn't sleep.

Huangfu.

"Why hasn't Dad slept yet?" Huang Xiaoxue came to the study and looked at her father and asked with concern.

Huang Youcai sat in front of the desk, showing a pampered look, "I drank too much tea today, and I have a little insomnia." ”

Huang Xiaoxue frowned, usually her father's sleep is the best, but it is rare to sit alone in the study tonight.

"Dad, is there something big going to happen tomorrow? Tomorrow will be the third day of lockdown. Huang Xiaoxue sensed something in her heart.

Huang Youcai shook his head, stood up, walked to Huang Xiaoxue's side, and touched her hair dotingly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen, your father will be by your side at any time." ”

He had already decided that if Qi Tian and the eldest princess lost, he would find a way to send Huang Xiaoxue out of the city as soon as possible, and then take the initiative to donate all the family property.

He believed that with the current Huang family's family business, the prince would definitely let Huang Xiaoxue go.

Huang Xiaoxue suddenly threw herself into her father's arms and sobbed in a low voice.

She understood that something big must have happened in the imperial capital city, and her father was implicated.

Just when the father and daughter were snuggling up to each other, Li Jiaomei, who was eavesdropping outside the door, covered her mouth tightly with her hands, and tears flowed down in big eyes.

She had always wondered before, why Qi Tian sent herself to the Huang family, why didn't she bring Qi Nian to find her for so long, it seemed that something big was really going to happen in the imperial capital city, and Qi Tian was being involved.

Qi Tian had talked to her about the affairs between the eldest princess and the crown prince before, and now that major events have happened one after another in the imperial capital, and she and Huang Xiaoxue are confined to their homes, it is obvious that the final war between the eldest princess and the crown prince has arrived.

Lee House.

"Tongwei, you seem to be very idle during this time, always accompany me, isn't there a lot of things to do in the procurement government recently?" A middle-aged woman lay on the bed, snuggled in Li Tongwei's arms.

Li Tongwei glanced down at the woman who had married him as a teenager, and the young appearance of the woman at the age of fifteen came to mind.

It's just that in the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and the young little girl of the year has also become a yellow-faced woman.

"In the past, you always complained that I didn't have time to accompany you, but now I accompany you every day, why are you still unhappy?" Li Tongwei reached out and stroked the woman's still slippery face.

"I'm just very strange, it's usually difficult to get you home for dinner, and now I'm tired of being at home every day, isn't the little girl outside no longer suitable for your appetite?" the woman quipped.

Li Tongwei smiled slightly, and then sighed deeply, "No matter how fragrant the food outside is, it is not as delicious as the food at home." Madame's mustard and shredded pork noodles are getting better and better, and my stomach is so swollen that I eat every time I eat them these days. ”

Madame glanced at her angrily, but the smile on the corner of her mouth betrayed her, "Who let you eat so much, if you like to eat, I will make it for you to eat every day." ”

Li Tongwei patted the woman's back gently, "Okay, I really hope to eat Mrs. Niang's noodles for another hundred years." ”

Madame didn't notice the worry in Li Tongwei's words, and buried her face in his chest happily.

Although she is over forty years old, she still can't help but show the demeanor of her little daughter.

Madame is a standard good wife and mother, who does not care about anything but the affairs of the family.

For her, the most important thing for a woman is her husband and children, no matter what happens, as long as she can be with her husband and take the children with her, she will be content.

In front of Wang Shouren's house.

A burly man knocked on the door of the house "bell, bell, bell".

After a long time, a maid came out wearing a coat, and when she saw the person clearly, she looked stunned, "Master Ma, it's so late, why are you here?"

The person who came was Ma Dusheng.

"I'm here to have a drink with Lord Wang. As he spoke, he lifted up the two households in his hand.

The maid looked embarrassed, "It's so late, my master should have fallen asleep." ”

Ma Dusheng shook his head, "Don't worry, he won't be able to sleep tonight." ”

The maid was stunned for a moment, although she didn't know why Ma Dusheng said this, but she also knew that he and his master had been friends in the imperial capital for many years, so she still led him towards Wang Shouren's bedroom.

"Is the master asleep? Master Ma came and said he wanted to drink with you. The maid shouted timidly in front of the door.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Shouren walked out of the bedroom dressed neatly, as if he had known that a guest was coming.

The maid was stunned, "Old... Sir, you haven't slept yet. ”

Wang Shouren waved his hand, "If such a beautiful night is spent in sleep, wouldn't it be in vain to waste a piece of God's heart." ”

He looked at Ma Dusheng and smiled slightly, "I knew you were coming to me tonight." ”

Ma Dusheng didn't speak, turned and walked towards the dining room.

The maid ordered the kitchen to make a few cold dishes, and the two old brothers drank them on the table.

"How's the preparation?" Wang Shouren asked.

Ma Dusheng poured himself wine while eating peanuts, "More than two hundred. ”

"Two hundred is a lot. Wang Shouren sighed, "By the way, you didn't tell others about the emperor's edict, did you?"

Ma Dusheng glanced at him, "Although I look reckless, I am not stupid, and now I say, don't you want to tell the crown prince that the emperor is ready to destroy him?"

Wang Shouren smiled "hehe", "I didn't expect my Ma brother to joke." ”

"Come, have a drink with me, maybe this is the last time I drink with you. Ma Dusheng poured a glass for Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren laughed out loud and shook his head, "Do you think that after tomorrow, I will be able to be alone?"

Ma Dusheng was stunned for a moment, and then he also smiled with "haha", "That's right, if Qi Tian and the eldest princess win tomorrow, there will be hope for the empire's tomorrow, and if unfortunately the crown prince wins, we can also dedicate the last trace of strength." ”

Wang Shouren and Ma Dusheng touched a glass and drank it all.

Tomorrow's battle will not only involve the eldest princess and the crown prince, but also determine the fate of many people.

Some people are likely to be brilliant and ascend to the sky because of the victory of a certain party, or they may lose their heads and their families because of the defeat of a certain party.

The political struggle is so cruel in front of everyone, no one can be spared, and no one can be left alone, because there is only one emperor, and there will only be one emperor!
