Suddenly, Ying Rang's palm fell on the middle-aged man's shoulder, put his face close to his face, and asked with a smile: "Lord Zuo Xiang, go back and tell the commander to express the sincerity of His Highness, if he is still dissatisfied, you can take His Highness's head to restore your life!"

"Plop!" The middle-aged man bent his legs, knelt in front of Ying Rang, and said with a firm expression: "Since my subordinates have entered the court as officials, I will do my best to serve the court and His Royal Highness the Prince." This time, if my master wants to target His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his subordinates will definitely protect the Lord with death, and let him take my head first!"

After listening to this, Ying Rang was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said: "His Royal Highness knows the loyalty of Lord Zuo, but His Royal Highness doesn't want to see Your Highness, and he fell out with your master for His Royal Highness!"

"Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and subordinates categorically dare not disgrace His Highness for personal reasons!" said the middle-aged man sonorously.

Win and let listen, big joy. He said to the civil and military forces under his command: "Look at the loyalty of Lord Zuo Xiang, you should take it as a model and study it wholeheartedly!"

"Yes!" said in unison the civil and military forces under the prince's tent.

At this time, a hint of an unfathomable smile appeared on Ying Rang's face.

And the middle-aged man was cold in his heart, and said secretly: "This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already calculated that he wants to pull me into the gang, and now there is no way out." ”

This middle-aged man, named Dongfang Ye, is the prime minister of the current dynasty and is listed as the left minister. This person is a very popular minister, holding military and political power, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition.

And today's Great Qin State, there are two princes successively. The first is the eldest son of the current emperor, Ying Shuo, who has been appointed as the prince since five years after the emperor's accession to the throne.

Originally, he was the rightful heir of the Great Qin State, but because the current emperor has a long life and has been in control of the government, this prince can't wait, and after he has been the heir for the tenth year, he is hot-headed and wants to usurp the throne in a coup d'état.

But he was too hasty to plan this time, and everything was quickly suppressed.

At that time, Emperor Long Yan was furious, deposed the crown prince as the prince, and put him under house arrest in the palace.

For the next decade, the crown prince remained vacant. The topic of establishing the prince has also become a taboo, and no one dares to mention it in front of the emperor.

Until now, the crown prince, the ninth son of the emperor, was born out of thin air, and at the age of eighteen, he asked Ying to go on the expedition, and in the next six years, he fought in all directions, made great achievements, and forcibly expanded the territory of the Great Qin State to one-fifth outward.

At this time, the emperor Longyan was overjoyed, and under great joy, he actually made His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes the crown prince.

The state has a prince, the government and the opposition think together, and the people are stable. Originally, the future national fortunes of the Great Qin State would become more and more stable because of this.

However, with the energy of the current emperor, it is too exuberant. This makes Ying Rang, who has been the prince for many years, can't help but have a tendency to learn from the previous prince.

After years of operation, he has an extremely terrifying power in both the government and the opposition, and he is already a pivotal figure in power.

But today's emperor, Long is healthy, so he naturally refuses to let go of power, and over time, there is a subtle estrangement between father and son.

One wants to be in the upper position, and the other does not want to delegate power. Therefore, an open and covert struggle around power quietly kicked off.

In recent years, the power of the crown prince has continued to grow, and it has faintly threatened the imperial power, which is unbearable for any emperor.

However, among the many princes, only this one is the most satisfactory heir in his heart. It's just that he, the heir, like his brother, is too anxious.

Faced with this situation, the emperor was also very embarrassed, if it was suppressed, it would inevitably affect the prestige of the crown prince. In any case, he will inherit the throne in the end, which is obviously very inappropriate.

But if you let it go, one day, before you can drive the crane immortal, you will be set up by the crown prince, and such a result is also unacceptable to the emperor himself.

Therefore, there is only one way to deal with this situation, and that is to balance the power in his hands, and he must not let his family dominate.

So, after thinking about it, the emperor finally made an absolute that he would regret for the rest of his life. That is to reactivate the former crown prince, Ying Shuo, and entrust him with a heavy task, and use him to balance the power in his hands.

Of course, this method of drinking water to quench thirst still had a very good effect in the early stage, but as the struggle between the two sides intensified step by step, a bad fruit planted by the emperor himself was also quietly sprouting.

In order to compete for power and profit, the two princes saw a crazy battle.

Dongfang Ye, as the left minister and an important minister in the court, naturally understands the cruelty of seizing the heir. Therefore, from the very beginning, he chose to protect himself and not fall to any side of the forces.

No matter who wins in the end, he can be his prime minister safely. After all, when he has reached the point where he is an official, there is no room for promotion, and the big deal is to be a marquis.

However, just for these fictitious titles, is it really worth gambling on the current hot position of power, as well as all the net worth?

Of course, the answer is no, so he tried his best to avoid the co-optation of either party and wanted to remain neutral, but he didn't expect that in the end, he let the prince calculate. The most helpless thing for him is that he has no choice at all, otherwise, the head that was cut off just now will definitely be his own.

Late at night, Bu Jianting, Shangzhou rudder.

In the conference hall, all the core figures sat together. Everyone's face was gloomy, and the atmosphere was oppressive and scary.

In the end, it was the soul seducer who took the lead in opening his mouth and broke the dead silence.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't need to say more, I think everyone knows. Yes, the queen of heaven is missing, just half a month ago, the old man has been unable to contact the queen of heaven and the head teacher. Originally, in order to help the stability of the hearts of the insiders, the old man also planned to suppress this matter for a while, but today the prince made such a fuss, and now all the disciples are panicked, presumably, it will not be long before the sword envoys in other counties will not be able to suppress the spread of the news, and at that time, it will be the most dangerous moment for the life and death of our sword court. ”

After he finished speaking,

Everyone couldn't help but glance at each other, and they all saw confusion and fear in each other's eyes.

Seeing this scene, the Soul Hooker suddenly turned to sneer twice, and said: "Everyone, although the Queen of Heaven is missing, Bu Jian Ting is still there, as long as we all don't fall, Bu Jian Ting will not disperse! ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but stand up, and said with an excited expression: "The more difficult this moment, the more we ourselves have to stabilize our position, if even we ourselves are in chaos, then we don't have to wait for the enemy to attack us, and the rudder of the entire Shangzhou County will collapse! Now, we do not seek expansion, but only seek to stabilize the situation in the lead, here, I will ask, do you have the confidence to hold the territory that has been laid down now?"

When he said this, everyone immediately regained their fighting spirit. They suddenly got up and said in unison, "Yes!"

"Okay!" the soul hook envoy stroked his palm and laughed, and then said: "There are all of you in the Bujian Court, you will definitely just grow stronger, and sooner or later you will dominate the rivers and lakes!"
