The little maid trembled all over, and walked to Prince Zhong step by step, wanting to cry but not daring to cry. [Full text reading]

Prince Zhong roared, pushed the little maid to the ground, and then frantically tore the little maid's clothes. There is a manic mood in him, he is anxious to vent it, he wants to destroy, destroy everything in front of him, whether it is people or things!

The little maid's eyes widened in horror, and the corners of her eyes were bleeding, but she didn't dare to shout or move, so she let Prince Zhong tear her dress and peel her into a little white sheep in the blink of an eye.

The maiden was still young, not fully developed, and lay lonely on the ground, like a poor lamb. Prince Zhong was carried away by manic emotions, his only thought at the moment was to destroy, destroy, his red eyes entered the body of the little maid fiercely, and in a terrible scream, blood splattered!

"Hahahaha......" Prince Chung laughed maniacally......

After a long time, Prince Zhong vented his inner mania, and his mind cleared up. Looking at the bruised and choked little maid in front of him, Prince Zhong didn't even hesitate, raised his palm, and slammed it on the little maid's heavenly spirit cover like lightning!

The little maid's eyes bulged out instantly, and she twitched on the ground a few times, and then lay on her side and did not move.

"You two, come in. "Prince Zhong knew that there were two attendants at the door, and they must have heard the movement inside. Of course, they didn't know that the prince had killed the little maid.

The two little guys walked in with a panicked face, and when they saw the ** corpse lying on the ground, they immediately realized that it was not good, and just wanted to run out, only to feel a sharp pain in their brains, and then their eyes went dark, and they didn't know anything.

Prince Zhong cleaned up the scene, then called the housekeeper, pointed to the three corpses entangled on the ground, and said: "These three subordinates took advantage of the absence of this king to cheat in my study, so they were killed by this king." Find someone to carry them down. Don't make a noise about this matter, and give their families a little more pension. ”

The butler's expression did not change in the slightest, and he nodded yes. Then a few people were found and the three bodies were carried out. Of course, he could see that something was wrong, no matter how bold the subordinate was, he would never dare to go to the master's room to cheat, and the little maid was scarred, not like it was left by cheating, but more like she was abused. However, the housekeeper will never be stupid enough to raise his doubts, on an errand in Prince Zhong's mansion, he must not say what he should not say, and he must not think about what he should not think, and there are some things, even if he knows, he must pretend not to know.

In this way, you can live longer.

Everything in the study quickly returned to its original state, and Prince Chung's mood calmed down. For him, killing a few subordinates is no different from killing a few chickens, and Prince Zhong has a reputation for being virtuous, and these subordinates are unfortunate enough to see his cruel and despicable side, so they must die.

His glorious image of a virtuous king brooks no doubt or slander from anyone.

After the mania in his heart disappeared, Prince Chung began to calm down. As Song Li's growth rate is getting faster and faster, the strength of the Ming Wangfu is also rising, and there is a tendency for latecomers to prevail. If it continues to develop at this rate, it will not be a matter of whether Prince Zhong wants to seek revenge on Song Li, but whether he has the ability to resist others.

He must face up to this problem.

The current situation has changed a lot from two years ago, the strength of the Ming Palace's Mansion has increased greatly, and the Holy Emperor has also made a lot of money, secretly cultivating his own strength, it is obvious that the combination of these two forces is no longer something that Prince Zhong can deal with.

It was imperative that he also look for a reinforcement. And after finding reinforcements, it is necessary to plan for the matter in the shortest possible time. After the death of his son, he has lost patience, the key is that the strength of the Ming Wangfu and the Holy Emperor is getting stronger and stronger, if they are allowed to develop like this, when the two are fully fledged, he will have no chance.

The power of the court has basically been divided between the Holy Emperor, Prince Zhong's Mansion and Ming Wang's Mansion. There is still a small part left, which are basically the roles of soy sauce, and even if they are co-opted, they will not have much effect. Therefore, the power of the DPRK and China can no longer be counted on.

Prince Zhong had no choice but to look outside.

What other forces in the local area, although not in the imperial capital, but strong enough to threaten the safety of the imperial capital, even the Holy Emperor is afraid of three points?

After a little thought, Prince Zhong's mind immediately came up with a person's name: King Jingnan Zhanlong!

Although this person is not in the imperial capital now, but in the southern part of the Holy Lion Empire, he is in charge of an army of 500,000 troops, known as the "Great General King". Without his support, Song Xingtian would not have been able to sit in the position of the Holy Emperor no matter what. It is precisely because of this that after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he became the only foreign surname prince in this dynasty.

It stands to reason that he helped the Holy Emperor ascend to the Great Treasure, and he should be the Holy Emperor's hardcore confidant, but in fact this is not the case.

After Zhan Long was named the king of Jingnan, he supported his troops and occupied the three southern counties, which seemed to be a bit of a country within a country. The taxation and personnel appointment and dismissal rights of the three southern counties were basically not interfered with by the imperial court. Such an act would of course make the Holy Emperor dissatisfied.

The Holy Emperor had issued several edicts to transfer Zhan Long back to the Beijing Division, but he was rejected by Zhan Long on the grounds that there were frequent wars on the frontier and the situation was tight. So the two parties, who should have been very harmonious, are currently in harmony, and each has its own little abacus.

Prince Zhong thought that if he could pull the war dragon onto his ship, then the Ming Wangfu and the Holy Emperor would definitely not be enough. He was in the capital division, and Zhan Long led an army of 500,000 to smash the imperial capital, under the cooperation of the inside and the outside, is there still room for the Holy Emperor to resist?

In this way, you can first send someone to the south to probe the tone of Zhan Long, doesn't he just want to be the king of the Taiping Domain? This is simple, as long as he is promised, after the success of the move, Prince Zhong ascends to the great treasure, not only let him continue to let him take charge of the three southern counties, but can even cede two more counties to him, isn't this okay? Who would think that he has more territory?

There are less than two months to go, and it is the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother. Prince Zhong believed that the Holy Emperor would definitely use this as a reason to recall Zhan Long to the Jingshi this time. He felt that the day of the birthday banquet was the best time to do something. Everyone's attention will definitely be on the birthday banquet, and no one will pay attention to his movements.

Before that, it is necessary to communicate with the war dragon, and then on the day of the birthday banquet, we will make a joint attack, and we will definitely succeed in one fell swoop!

As long as he succeeds, whether it is the Holy Emperor or the people of the Ming Palace, none of them will be able to escape, and they will all have to go down to the Yellow Spring and bury his son!

King of Jingnan, war dragon.

On the dragon case in front of the Holy Emperor, there was a thick stack of files, all of which were collected by the intelligence officers he sent in the three southern counties, about the criminal evidence of King Jingnan Zhanlong!

In the three counties of Minzhou, Nanzhou, and Taizhou under his jurisdiction, he completely covered the sky with one hand. The people of the three counties only knew that there was a king of Jingnan and rarely mentioned the Holy Emperor.

The Code of the Holy Lion clearly stipulates that although the vassal king has a fief, the imperial court still has the power to collect taxes and appoint and dismiss personnel. In the counties under the jurisdiction of the vassal king, the common people paid 50% of the taxes paid by the imperial court and the vassal king. However, the three southern counties have not handed over even a single copper to the imperial court for four years.

The imperial court can still nominally appoint local officials to the three southern counties, but Zhan Long's side will also appoint one, so that there are often two people in charge of the same department.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake, and in the end, the one who really speaks is naturally the official appointed by the war dragon. The officials talked about the color change of the three southern counties. Whoever is accidentally assigned there is a painful ordeal.

Being a feudal official on the ruling side is undoubtedly the dream of many Beijing officials, but if you can only be a puppet in the past, it will be meaningless.

The more the Holy Emperor looked at it, the more annoyed he became, this war dragon, the courage became more and more boundless. If no measures are taken, the three southern counties may soon change their course and be separated from the Song family's territory. In fact, judging from the current situation, the imperial court has lost its actual control over these three places. Everything is up to the war dragons.

In fact, when the Holy Emperor had not yet ascended the throne, the relationship with the war dragon was quite harmonious. The Holy Emperor's concubine, Sun Shi, is the eldest daughter of Sun Yang, a cabinet scholar, and Sun Yang's second daughter is married to a war dragon. With this relationship, the relationship between the Holy Emperor and the War Dragon is naturally good.

Later, the three southern counties rebelled, and Zhan Long was sent to quell the rebellion, because he was brave and strategic, and was a natural military wizard, so he made great achievements in the process of counterinsurgency, and his status in the army rose rapidly, from a commander all the way to the marshal who was in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops, and became a legend in the army by virtue of his military exploits.

When the competition for the throne between the Holy Emperor and Prince Zhong was the tightest, Zhan Long reached the pinnacle of his military career, and was named the general of Jingnan, with 500,000 male soldiers under his command, officially sitting on the position of the first military general of the Holy Lion Empire.

In fact, the Holy Emperor at that time preferred Prince Zhong as the crown prince, because Prince Zhong's image project was done well, and he was very popular with the emperor in the emperor. For the taciturn Song Xingtian, the former Holy Emperor didn't like it very much. thinks that he looks too low-key, and does not have the grandeur that an emperor should have. (http：/／.)。

At this time, the Zhan Long squad returned to the dynasty, and his position in the military was very important. Any sentence represents the position of the military. Because of the in-law relationship between him and the Holy Emperor, and the fact that the two had a good personal relationship, Zhan Long strongly supported Song Xingtian in the selection of the crown prince.

The Holy Lion Empire is a dynasty that established itself by force, and all the flowers and rivers are fought by force, so the imperial court has always attached great importance to the military. The Great General Zhan Long is undoubtedly the number one person in the military, and what he said, the Holy Emperor had to consider carefully. In the end, various factors were combined and Song Xingtian was selected as the crown prince.

It can be said that the situation at that time was very obvious, and Song Xingtian was not very dominant among the several princes competing for the crown prince. Prince Zhong had a very good reputation among the government and the opposition, and the previous Holy Emperor also liked him, and everyone thought that the position of the crown prince was his.

But because of the support of the war dragon, he helped Song Xingtian to complete the counterattack and completely pull Prince Zhong off the throne of the quasi-crown prince.
