The Royal Palace, the Tongxin Palace.

"I've seen my lord. ”

Shen Gongbao, Zhuge Liang, Bai Qi, and Xia Ji all greeted each other, and Xiang Ming quickly sat them down.

Xiang Ming gave the two holy decrees to everyone, and then asked for ideas.

"What do you think, sir?"

Among the four, if it is about strategy, it must be Zhuge Liang, Xiang Ming respects Zhuge Liang as a gentleman, and everyone is not unconvinced.

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly and said, "The first holy decree is much more generous than what the lord asked his subordinates to draw up before. Money is easy to go, but land rewards can be passed down from generation to generation, so I believe that the soldiers are more acceptable.

As for the second secret decree, it contains many meanings, and it is not easy for your subordinates to make judgments. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Xiang Ming was stunned for a moment, and immediately dispelled Zhuge Liang's doubts.

"Thank you, Lord. ”

When Zhuge Liang got this, he said bluntly: "According to the opinion of his subordinates, His Majesty will make such words clear to the lord, which is really a hidden mystery, and a big plan is brewing in secret. If nothing else, it is to eradicate the Zongren Mansion. ”

"Well, sir, this prince is actually aware of this. Xiang Ming saw what Zhuge Liang said, and confirmed the idea in his heart, if the Zongren Mansion is not uprooted, the royal family will be headed by the Zongren Mansion, and the emperor's authority is in vain, and he can only be a child emperor.

This is definitely something that the emperor can't tolerate, but the power of the Zongren Mansion is deep-rooted, and there is no one available to the emperor when he arrives in the Manchu Dynasty, which is enough to see its terribleness.

Xiang Ming couldn't help but think of the relationship between Kangxi and Aobai, but the current Great Chu Dynasty has not yet reached this point, after all, Xiang Tai has been on the throne for decades, and his prestige can be shaken by not idle people. But if it was a young man who came up, I am afraid it would be different.

He seemed to have realized all of a sudden, no wonder he went to the Zongren Mansion this morning, and the Great Elders would agree to be so happy, the reason for this may not be unreasonable, the people in the Zongren Mansion couldn't wait, and they were eager to let Xiang Tai establish the crown prince, and then support the new monarch to ascend the throne.

"My lord, since the Zongren Mansion is so in the way, it won't be over if you get rid of them. Bai Qi replied abruptly.

"It's not that simple. ”

Xiang Ming shook his head and said: "The Zongren Mansion is extremely powerful, among which the Elders' House is the most threatening, there are twenty elders, this morning the prince went to the Zongren Mansion and has been in contact with these people, even the weakest elders are in the second realm of the gods." Such strength is not trivial. ”

"What the lord said is very true. ”

Shen Gongbao spoke, he traveled all over the place, saw a lot of knowledge, and said: "However, when His Majesty traveled a few years ago, he was instructed by a master to teach him a method, called the Seven Arrows of Nail Head, as long as the lord can get their birth dates, His Majesty can curse them to death one by one." ”

"It's not hard. ”

Xiang Ming responded, slightly shocked in his heart, I don't know what the relationship between this nailhead seven arrows technique and the nailhead seven arrows book is also very promising, at least the nailhead seven arrows book is the thaumaturgy of Lu Zhudao Jun in "The Romance of the Gods", and the gods helped Jiang Ziya kill Zhao Gongming in a battle, which can be described as a great shine, but then it never appeared again.

Now he didn't expect Shen Gongbao to actually get this technique, and the system really didn't deceive, it was really God's help.

"In this case, it will trouble the lord, and the ministers will first set up the altar with Mr. Zhuge and set up a scarecrow, just waiting for the lord to return. ”

Shen Gongbao responded.

"Good. ”

Xiang Ming nodded.

At this time, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Shen Gongbao, like the people of the Zongren Mansion, how long will it take to achieve the goal by using this spell." ”

"Seven days. ”

Shen Gongbao replied: "Seven days later, the soul of the Zhong Comparison Practitioner is scattered, even if the immortals come, they are still lacking in skills. ”

Xiang Ming bowed slightly.

With that, he walked out of the Tongxin Temple.

The Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, the Nine Emperor Princes are here. ”

"Let him in. ”

Xiang Tai thought about it, but when he saw Xiang Ming, he ordered, "Everyone else should retreat." ”

"Yes. ”

The crowd retreated.

Xiang Ming walked into the imperial study and saluted Xiang Tai: "Erchen has seen my father. ”

"Sit down. ”

Xiang Tai waved his hand, with a hint of complexity on his face, and said, "Old Jiu, what is the so-called matter of coming here this time?"

"Father, my sons are here, and I beg you to inquire about something from your father. Xiang Ming said.

"What?"

Xiang Tai stared at Xiang Ming and asked puzzled.

Xiang Ming said: "The birthdays of the twenty elders of the Zongren Mansion. ”

This kind of thing, in the entire Great Chu Dynasty, there are only two places, one is the Zongren Mansion, the royal family, every person is born, and the Zongren Mansion has a detailed record, which is not much different from the twenty elders themselves knowing, and the other is only known by the current emperor, because every person in the royal family is born, in addition to the Zongren Mansion will be recorded, the historian will be recorded in the book.

"Lao Jiu, what do you want to do with this?"

Xiang Tai was puzzled.

"The unfinished business of the father, the son has no hesitation. Xiang Ming said.

Xiang Tai took the case: "Confused!"

"Although the father is assured, the son is absolutely sure, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry, and he asked the father to fulfill it. Xiang Ming said.

If it was an ordinary person, Xiang Ming, as the prince, would not have to come here in person. However, the birthdates of the twenty elders of the Zongren Mansion are very important, and even if the prince wants to check it, it will be very alarming.

Xiang Tai shook his head.

Xiang Ming's actions are now a bit unexpected, making it difficult for him, a man, to figure out, Xiang Tai closed his eyes and thought about it, he had been planning for this matter for a long time, and he must not fall short. But it's okay if this is the case, and the Zongren Mansion may not be able to detect it.

"Someone. ”

Xiang Tai still decided to complete Xiang Ming.

Huang Qiliang came in and saluted Xiang Tai and Xiang Ming, and then Xiang Tai ordered: "Go and pass Sima Tai to see me." ”

"Yes!"

Huang Qiliang nodded.

Sima Tai, who inherited the burden of his father Sima Lei, was the Taishi Gong of the Great Chu Dynasty, who was upright and upright, and went through three dynasties and was highly respected.

Now the historian is Sima Jing, the son of Sima Tai, but he has no qualities of his grandfather and father, and has taken refuge in the Zongren Mansion.

A moment later.

Taishi Company Ma Tai came to see you.

"The minister Sima Tai knocked to see His Majesty and saw the Nine Emperor Princes. ”

"Taishi Gong, please get up quickly. ”

Xiang Tai personally supported.

Then let the seat be given.

"I don't know what happened when Your Majesty summoned the old minister?" Sima Tai was looking forward to it in his heart.

Xiang Tai said: "Taishi Gong, I thought about it yesterday and felt that it was time for the Great Chu Dynasty to set up a crown prince, and I wanted to choose an auspicious day and let the elders of the Zongren Mansion also come over to discuss it, so I need their birthdays." ”

"I see. ”

Sima Tai smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so old, you should indeed set up a prince to determine the foundation of the country." ”

As he spoke, he looked up at Xiang Ming.

But he didn't say much.

Next, Sima Tai reported the birthdays of the twenty elders one by one and told Xiang Tai to listen, how did he know that this was a routine.

"It's too boring. ”

Xiang Tai was also very polite.

Sima Tai got up and said: "Your Majesty is serious, it is a supreme honor for the old minister to be able to do his part for the family and the country, how dare he say that he is tired." ”

Xiang Ming was also moved.

"Tai Shi Gong is really a model for the ministers, if the ministers can be like Tai Shi Gong, why don't you worry. Xiang Tai exclaimed, and said: "Tai Shi Gong, I plan to keep this matter a secret, so I also ask Tai Shi Gong to keep it a secret for the time being." ”

"Your Majesty is reassured. ”

Sima Tai nodded.

The historian promises to say the same.
