Chapter 10 No Wind and No Waves
However, Shen Fei felt puzzled, after all, Tuoba Lie first came to the imperial capital, the foundation was unstable, and there was his own brother Tuoba Zhen on it, it was really difficult and difficult to get ahead, Aung Sanqing stood in line so openly, it seemed a little abrupt.
After thinking about it, Aung San-thanh once held the post of a guard with a sword, and he can be said to be a close minister of His Majesty, could it be that he heard some rumors from His Majesty's side, so he deliberately came to defect to show his goodwill? Could it really be as he expected before, the diversion of the thousand-strong army to Qingzhou this time was all arranged by His Majesty, and while promoting the alliance between Aung Sanching and Huang Zilie, he also planted a chess piece next to Huang Zilie to monitor his son at any time.
The deeper Shen Fei pondered, the more he shuddered, and he felt that the closer he was to the imperial capital, the more endless and overwhelmed he was with power and deceit.
When Aung Sanqing and Tuoba Lie complained to each other, Shen Fei never spoke, as the only person Tuoba Lie could rely on so far, he wanted to take into account all the purposes and possibilities of Aung Sanqing's initiative to surrender.
After thinking about it, I felt that Aung Sanqing could not be a spy sent by the Great Prince and the Tenth Prince anyway, even if it was a spy, as a city lord, he could not always accompany His Royal Highness the Prince, and his attitude towards handling key things would be revealed sooner or later, and finally let go of his heart and calmly accepted the reality that he took the initiative to surrender and offer the first big gift after coming to the imperial capital.
That's right, surrendering to the blue sky and white sun is only the first step, and Aung Sanching also sent a big gift to His Highness in order to show his loyalty.
I don't know when, the people in the living room were all retreated, the hall door was pressed, and there was no pair of ears to listen except for a few Taoist masters, His Royal Highness the Prince, and Aung Sanqing himself.
Aung Sanqing, who was exchanging heartfelt feelings with His Royal Highness the Prince, suddenly raised his head, looked at Chu Xie who was bored to pass the time, teasing Nalan Ruoxue, who was seven young, and Shen Fei, who was observing the movement here, with special eyes, as if expressing some meaning.
Tuoba Lie was born in the emperor's tomb since he was a child, and he was very familiar with this gaze, and immediately said: "Several Dao Zun are the most trusted people of this king, and Brother Aung San can just say it directly, so there is no need to shy away from it." As a prince, he can call Aung Sanching a brother, which shows that he has attached great importance to his surrender.
Aung Sanqing nodded, lowered his voice and said slowly: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, in order to show your sincerity, Aung San brought a great gift to Your Highness."
"Great gift?" To be honest, Aung Sanching's blatant surrender came too suddenly, and His Royal Highness the prince couldn't react for a while, but with the experience he had accumulated over the years in dealing with people, he supported him to make friends with the other party and maneuver.
Aung Sanching nodded, mysteriously took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Huang Zilie: "This letter is a secret letter between the prince and people, and the content is ......"
- Bombshell!
......
Sometimes, from the edge of the whirlpool to the center of the whirlpool, you only need to paddle forward once, and that's it.
Tuoba Lie stared at the dense fold lying flat on the table, his face was solemn, he had read the content of the dense fold in its entirety, the content was vigorous, and the handwriting was indeed written by his brother himself.
"Bo Yi was ordered to go out of Beijing, and you will deal with it as soon as possible. "If the two lines of scribbled words are known to the emperor, the imperial brother will forever lose the opportunity to compete for the throne.
Tuoba Lie wondered: "What did Aung Sanching mean by putting such a heavy letter in front of him just for the first meeting? Did he deliberately test himself, or did he really come to surrender? Why did the more enthusiastic he was, the more worried he became." β
Tuoba Lie pondered calmly, his gaze shifted back and forth between Aung Sanqing and Mi Fold, and suddenly looked at Shen Fei, and said, "Daozun, take a look." β
Turning his eyes to look at Aung Sanqing again, his tone became serious: "Brother Aung San, what do you think is the advantage of this king in the battle for the throne?
Aung Sanching did not feel the slightest anger at the change in the attitude of Prince Lie, and said in a steady tone: "In today's imperial court, the most fierce ones are the eldest prince and the tenth prince. Both of them are surrounded by a large number of civil and military generals, Jianghu forces, and even strange people, who are fighting fiercely for the throne, and it seems that as long as one side fails, the other party can naturally become the successor to the throne. β
"Isn't it!"
Aung San doesn't think so. β
"Why!"
"Your Majesty calls himself long live, naturally I hope that I will live forever and hold power forever, although the two princes are Your Majesty's flesh and blood, but in the face of power, family affection is vulnerable.
As far as Aung San knew, His Majesty had long been dissatisfied with the two princes' collusion with the courtiers to divide the court, but after all, he was old and lacked mental strength, and there was no way to change the status quo. β
"Brother Aung San knows his father very well. β
"After all, I have been a guard with a sword in front of the palace for five years, and I still have a certain understanding of Banzai's temper. Weichen clearly knows that in fact, whether it is the true prince or the eldest prince, His Majesty is very dissatisfied. β
"Even the two elder brothers, the father and the emperor, can't see it, what advantage does the king have. β
"So far, I have never participated in court politics, and not having your own political circle is your biggest advantage. β
"Now that the dynasty is still in power, the political circle should not be established sooner or later. β
"That's different, Your Majesty claims to be long live, after all, it's not really long live, everyone knows that Your Majesty will have a funeral day sooner or later......"
"Brother Aung San, don't talk nonsense, my father has a long life, and he deserves to be hung by heaven and sit on the throne forever. β
"Aung San has poured out all his blood on His Highness, doesn't His Highness still trust Aung San? β
"Trust, it's just that this king thinks that his father and emperor deserve to live forever. β
"Your Highness, Aung San is committed to allegiance, and I hope that His Highness will also treat him sincerely. β
"This King ......"
"Your Highness. When Tuoba Lie was about to continue to prevaricate, Shen Fei suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, you have listened to General Aung San's words." β
As soon as Shen Fei spoke, most of the doubts in Tuoba Lie's heart were dispelled, and he immediately fell silent. At the same time, the corners of Aung Sanqing's eyes twitched slightly, shocked by Shen Fei's influence in His Highness's heart.
Aung San Qing said: "Your Majesty the Emperor will have a funeral day sooner or later, and in Aung San's opinion, it is not the Great Prince who can take over His Majesty's position, let alone the Ten Princes, because the power in the hands of the two princes has greatly exceeded what His Majesty wants them to have, and Your Highness, you are the one who is most likely to inherit the throne." β
"If the two elder brothers are really brought down, the power of this king will be the greatest in the court, and when the time comes, won't my father and the emperor and his old man regard this king as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh!"
"By the time Your Highness overthrows the two princes as you wish, Your Majesty, I'm afraid that time is running out. Aung Santhanh did not shy away from speaking out.
He repeatedly mentioned His Majesty's remarks about His Majesty's funeral, which was undoubtedly a big disrespectful remark, but it was the reason why Shen Fei allowed him to continue, if this was really a game that Aung Sanching did with others, Shen Fei didn't think that he dared to say a big disrespectful remark that was enough to punish his nine clans again and again.
"Sigh!" Tuoba Lie felt a lot of emotion after hearing these words, indeed, Aung Sanching dared to surrender so openly, proving that the melee in the imperial capital has reached the point of spreading everything out on the bright side, in this case, whether it is his father and the emperor He deliberately instructed Aung Sanqing to come close to him and join the chaos to take the place of the two elder brothers, or one of the two elder brothers, or even other people hidden behind the scenes instructed him to lure him to do so, he must accept their kindness, because at this stage, the two biggest obstacles that are indeed in front of him are the eldest brother and the tenth brother, compared with them, their strength is negligibleγ
"Brother Aung San!" Tuoba Lie said but stopped.
"Your Highness has something to say. β
"Brother Aung San's loyalty, the king will not doubt that if there is a day when the king will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and Brother Aung San should be the first to do so, this letter will be placed here for the time being, and as for whether it will be presented to his father and the emperor, and when it will be presented, the king will grasp it. β
"Your Highness, Aung San has a word that I don't know what to say. β
"Between you and me, we should know that there is no end to what we say. β
"Then Aung San made it clear, Your Highness, Aung San has to advise you, once the troubled waters of the imperial capital are wet, there is no reason to get out. Everyone knows what you are doing this time, and if you care about brotherhood, you will not be able to achieve great things. β
"Brother Aung San, don't worry, this king has made up his mind, and there is no reason to escape. It's just that the timing and the current situation must be taken into account, after all, this king has to deal with two people, not one, and only by knocking down the two brothers at the same time, this king will have a chance to win, what do you say. β
"Your Highness is far-sighted. β
"Aung San, I'm afraid that once today passes, the whole imperial capital will know the news of your surrender to me, and you really aren't worried at all?
"Aung San believes in His Highness. β
"Hahaha, this king will not let you down. β
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the friendship between Aung Sanching and the prince will soon spread throughout the imperial capital, adding another momentum to the return of the prince. It's just that for some reason, Shen Fei's face didn't have a trace of joy, but became more and more solemn, so solemn that it was almost depressing!
He suddenly asked, "General Aung San, how did such an important letter end up in your hands?" β
Aung San Qing frowned slightly, glanced at Huang Zilie, and the latter smiled and said: "Shen Daozun's question asked the doubts in the heart of this king, and asked General Aung San to speak up." β
Aung San-thanh nodded and replied, "Your Highness, Dao Venerable, you two should know that Aung San used to be a guard with a sword in front of the palace. β
"Naturally. β
"As a guard with a knife, in addition to being responsible for His Majesty's security, he also has an important task, which is to monitor the suspicious actions of the princes and ministers. Don't hide it from the two, in fact, His Majesty has long been suspicious of the true prince, and sent Ouchi's top masters to monitor him. β
"I see, so this letter is ......"
"It just so happened that this master, who was in charge of monitoring the true prince, was a good friend of Aung San, and it was he who intercepted this secret letter and forwarded it to Aung San. β
"As far as this king knows, the Ouchi guards are loyal to their father and the emperor, so how can such an important letter not be presented to his father, but to you, brother Aung San. β
"The Ouchi guards are indeed loyal enough to His Majesty Banzai, but since everyone knows that the guards are loyal to His Majesty, will they be prepared in advance?"
"Brother Aung San, what do you mean?"
"The true prince is ruthless and clever, and he has long held the handle of every member of the Ouchi guards in his hands, as long as they make the slightest move, they will immediately suffer the most violent revenge. β
"Brother Huang has such energy?"
"The true prince's strength in the court is much stronger than you think. β
"Then why did the letter reach Brother Aung San? β
"On my side, first, it can be used as a bargaining chip for threats, if the real prince deceives people too much, you can take it out and present it to Your Majesty; second, Aung San is one of the few people in the current imperial capital who has not stood in line, and the reason why he does not stand in line is because he has the strength to protect himself, and it is absolutely safe to put it on my side. β
"Unexpectedly, the minions of the two imperial brothers have been planted by the side of their father. β
"His Royal Highness will never be able to buy the loyalty of the Ouchi guards, but he can force the Ouchi guards to be less loyal and not do their best to be loyal. β
"Hey, Brother Huang, Brother Huang, since you were a child, you have been an unattainable mountain. β
"The true prince and His Royal Highness are biological brothers of the same father and mother, no one should know more about the true prince's behavior and methods than Your Highness, looking at the imperial capital, only you can defeat him. β
"What do you mean by that?"
"Your Royal Highness, you have lived outside the fortress for a long time, and you probably don't know much about the situation in the imperial capital, in fact, in the long-term battle between the true prince and the eldest prince, the eldest prince has gradually shown a state of exhaustion, especially after the assassination of the third prince Tuoba Boyi, he was forced into a corner, and lost the ability to fight with the true prince in the front.
On the other hand, the true prince has neither the support of His Majesty the Emperor nor the support of Buddhism, and even the vast majority of the ministers in the court did not stand on his side, but in such a situation, his strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the team is getting stronger and stronger. Now relying on his own strength, he has forced the eldest prince into a dead end, if it were not for the protection of His Majesty, I am afraid that the balance between the court and the central government would have been broken.
Looking at the imperial capital, except for Your Royal Highness, who is the same mother as the true prince, no one can bring him down. β
"Brother Aung San, can you please speak up about something?"
"Your Highness, please speak. β
"My tenth brother's strength is obvious to all, why are you unwilling to follow him, but come to this king?"
"It's not just that I don't want to follow, but the vast majority of courtiers don't want to follow His Royal Highness, if you want to say the reason, it's because His Royal Highness is so powerful, so powerful that even His Majesty Banzai feels jealous.
