Chapter 231, the proud king
Ji Xuan began to take charge of the government and became the king of the dynasty and no longer went to the court, and he didn't care about Ji Xuan's elimination of his henchmen, and after returning from Wulong Mountain, he rarely showed up, staying in the palace all day.
In the past, there was an endless stream of people who came to Chengwang's Mansion to see Chengwang, and the traffic in front of the palace was very lively, but now it is a crowd.
The desertion in front of King Cheng's Mansion does not mean that King Cheng's Mansion is depressed, King Cheng has not given up his coveting of the throne, on the contrary, he has been planning, plotting to kill Ji Xuan with one blow, so as to seize the throne. Now that his plan was going well, he thought he was foolproof.
King Cheng's henchmen were not completely eliminated by Ji Xuan, and some people Ji Xuan knew that they had real talents and learning, and Great Wei also needed them, so after they drew a line with King Cheng, Ji Xuan made them urgently need to stay in place and serve the imperial court. In fact, these people are the real friends of King Cheng, and they are all instructed by King Cheng to do this, and King Cheng wants people who are really useful to continue to stay in the court for his use.
Knowing that Ji Xuan has been busy recently, King Cheng is not happy in the palace, he is very proud, and he also enjoys the troubles he has brought to Ji Xuan.
"I want to see how you deal with these crises. ”
King Cheng lay on his side on the soft couch, drinking wine while watching several beautiful women below dance to beautiful music.
At this time, an old man came in and walked straight to King Cheng and saluted.
King Cheng motioned for the old man to sit on a low stool next to the couch before speaking.
The old man didn't excuse himself, he sat down afterwards, and then said, "Xue Chen has left Beijing, and only Guo Dongming is with him." ”
When King Cheng heard this, he said with a smug face: "I really guessed it, they didn't dare to see off Xue Chen with great fanfare." ”
The old man said: "Attacked on three sides, most of the troops near the capital have been transferred to the border, and the rest will not move again." ”
King Cheng suddenly said hatefully: "Inform the Tianyi Sect and let them send someone to intercept and kill Xue Chen." This Xue Chen's king has long been fed up with him, he used to rely on his father's trust, but now he relies on Ji Xuan, he never takes this king in his eyes, and he must kill him this time. ”
The old man said: "We teamed up with Beiyan to set up this strategy, and then killed Tang Bin, just to transfer Xue Chen to the north, so as to control the forbidden army, if we kill him now, there is no commander in the north, what if Beiyan is treacherous and takes the opportunity to seize the northern state city and occupy it?"
"They dare!" said King Cheng, "they really dare to occupy it, and if they don't return it, the king will send troops to take it back." However, if you go outside, you must first settle inside, and when this king seizes the throne, according to the national strength of my Great Wei, how dare Beiyan not pay it back?"
The old man said: "If they really take it and don't return it, it won't be easy to take it when our matter is over." According to the old man's opinion, he might as well let Xue Chen go to the north to prevent Beiyan from treacherous. The big position is to be taken away, but we can't let Beiyan take advantage of it, as for Xue Chen, His Highness wants to kill him, and we have a chance afterwards. ”
King Cheng thought for a while and said, "What if Xue Chen comes back with the northern soldiers to rescue?"
The old man said: "With Beiyan involved, he doesn't dare to return to help easily." Even if he returned to help, it would take ten days to rush from the north to the capital from the north after receiving the news, and by then His Highness had already accomplished a great thing, and if he did not surrender, he would rebel and take the opportunity to get rid of him. ”
King Cheng straightened up and slammed the cases in front of him, and said, "Just let him go like this, this king is really unwilling! Besides, it will be a trouble to keep him." ”
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Since His Highness is worried, I will send someone to follow him to the northern border, and when the Northern Yan army is retreated and the northern defense line is stabilized, I will start to get rid of him." ”
King Cheng said: "Okay, do it like this." Xue Chen has gone to the northern border, and we must hurry up and take the forbidden army into our hands. But there is news, who is in charge of the forbidden army instead of Xue Chen?"
The old man said: "The forbidden army is in the hands of the prince himself. ”
"Oh," King Cheng said with a sneer, "this is out of this king's information. ”
The old man said: "Although he is personally in charge, the specific affairs must be conveyed through the two deputy commanders, and we only need to control these two deputy commanders." ”
King Cheng nodded and said, "You go and arrange it, it must be foolproof." ”
The old man said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the plan to deal with the two of them has already been made." ”
King Cheng paused for a moment and asked, "Is there any news from the Yue clan?"
The old man said: "I just received the news from their pigeon house in the capital, the big toast has already acted, let us just act according to the plan in advance, and there will be no problems in the southwest." ”
"Good!" said King Cheng exclaimed. Although they had been talking before, their voices were not loud, and there was music covering them, so the people in the hall couldn't hear their voices at all.
"It's none of your business, keep playing, keep jumping. ”
When the music sounded again, the dancers danced again, and King Cheng continued: "The Western Zhou are still too careful, I thought that they would take the opportunity to recapture the Xixian when they got the news that the Northern Yan raided our northern border, but they only stationed troops but did not take the opportunity to attack, which really made this king look down on them." ”
The old man said: "They are still a little suspicious of the news we leaked to them, and when they confirm that Beiyan has indeed raided our northern border, it is too late to send troops, their previous actions have already made Xue Ming and the Yue clan on guard, and it is impossible to sneak attack, and there is no certainty of victory in attacking them." “
"A bunch of fools," King Cheng said with contempt, "This king originally thought that they could attack Xixian and make them lose both the Yue clan, and then we would take the opportunity to destroy the Yue clan, who knew that they would be so unbearable." “
The old man said: "Don't do it in the land of smoke and miasma in the west, as long as the Great Tusi can help His Highness complete the great things this time, so that he can establish himself as the king." ”
King Cheng sighed and said, "This king is distressed by the other state capitals. ”
The old man comforted: "When His Royal Highness sits on the throne, why is it difficult to regain those states?"
King Cheng said: "If you can't do anything by the way, it will be troublesome to do it again." Okay, let's not talk about the southwest, let's talk about the capital, how are the preparations of Jingqian Town and Xiang Chengjun?"
The old man said: "The Tianyi Sect has ambushed nearly 20,000 people in Jingqian Town, and Elder Mei is in charge. Bai Hao also sent someone to report to Chengjun's side, and he was ready to stop, and he could send troops to the capital at any time. ”
King Cheng nodded proudly and said, "What Ji Xuan has received in the past few days should be all bad news, and what this king has received is all good news, haha......"
The old man said: "We have mastered the forbidden army, plus Xiang Cheng's army, and then Jingqian Town to stop the Huai'an army, it only takes half a day to achieve a major event." “
King Cheng seemed to have seen the day it was done, stepping on Ji Xuan's corpse and ascending to the supreme position, his excitement was overflowing, and he hummed a little song along with the music.
