As for those people in the palace, the fourth prince was not afraid that they would be bribed because there were too many people. He believed that it would be difficult for the third prince to bribe everyone. After all, how much money would it cost? He did not believe that the third prince had that much money.
As for partial bribery, the third prince didn't know who would write letters. In this case, partial bribery would be useless and would be exposed.
Moreover, he would change people every two or three years, and it would be useless even if the third prince bribed him.
Of course, maybe within two or three years, he would have taken care of the third prince.
But it was said that the prince had eight hundred personal soldiers, plus personal guards and eunuchs and maids, and soon there were more than a thousand people from the third prince's men gathered in the palace.
The third prince will continue to release people to the palace. Anyway, the officials in Shazhou are afraid that following the third prince will bring trouble to themselves. Even if he releases more people in the palace, the officials in Shazhou will not find out. Something is wrong.
Of course, the palace has limited space and cannot accommodate so many people, so most people live in the barracks near the palace. Anyway, the barracks were there before.
Therefore, the third prince also released more people in the personal barracks. These troops were all forces that had supported him in the past. They were still unwilling to give up now. In addition, the emperor showed signs of targeting them, so they secretly sent their personal soldiers to the camp. Those who were surrounded by soldiers wanted to rely on the third prince to counterattack.
These people are the personal soldiers of those generals. Needless to say, their loyalty is not a problem and their combat effectiveness is quite good.
Because time was tight, after the third prince got the people around him, he started to train them - that is, he sent 800 people to take turns to squat on small groups of barbarians every day, and cut them down when they squatted, so as to avenge the people who suffered at the border. After taking revenge, you can also train troops, killing two birds with one stone.
The Third Prince is now receiving manpower one after another. There are about 2,000 people. Each time he goes out to train, 800 people are left. He also leaves 800 people at home, so that if any Shazhou officials come and find no one in the barracks, they will not find anything wrong. .
In addition to letting these people train soldiers, the third prince also began to remain anonymous and follow the people sent to assist him by the forces that supported him from the capital - after all, many of those people were still serving as officials in the court, and he could not come in person - The reason behind the formation of private armed forces outside was that the Central Plains people were repeatedly burned, killed, and looted by barbarians, so they formed private armed forces to protect themselves.
This is not surprising at all, because in this desert area, there are many private armed forces, thieves, etc., and now there is another one. There is nothing unusual at all, and it will not arouse the suspicion of the generals at the border.
Of course, when the generals at the border heard that there was another private army, they wouldn't care. Their purpose was to guard the border of the imperial court, and they didn't bother to care about the rest.
In order to prevent the private armed forces from being too powerful and arousing suspicion, the third prince sent those who assisted him. Each of them built a branch and used barbarians in different places to train troops and temper themselves.
There is no need to worry about money. These families are increasingly targeted by the Fourth Prince. In order to survive, they bet their treasures on the Third Prince's side. Therefore, when the Third Prince trains his troops, some people give them money and food.
Linlang also asked the third prince if he wanted money, saying that she came here with a dowry of 10,000 yuan, and she could give it to him if needed.
The third prince said that it was not needed yet.
On the other hand, Linlang saw that he had gained a firm foothold and began to plan the retreat of Sun's mother and Brother Sun's family.
This matter is not difficult to plan.
It just so happened that the fourth prince and Sun Qiaoyun, just as Linlang predicted before, started to cause trouble for Sun's mother and Brother Sun's family, and even wanted to use Sun's father's help to cause trouble for them.
After all, Sun's father is Sun's mother's husband and Sun's elder brother's father. In the ancient environment, he had the natural power of life and death over them. Although the emperor also had it, it would not be good for the emperor to end up. After all, from a human ethics perspective , Sun’s mother is the mother-in-law of the new emperor, and Sun’s eldest brother is the new emperor’s eldest brother-in-law. No matter how the emperor has the power of life and death, killing his mother-in-law and eldest brother-in-law is still too shocking, so he still lets grandson’s father do these things. more suitable.
It is normal for Sun Qiaoyun, Aunt Cao and others to cause trouble for Sun Mu and Big Brother Sun's family, because if Sun Mu and Big Brother Sun and others are not tortured to death, the title in the house in the future will definitely belong to Big Brother Sun, because he is The eldest son is nothing without Aunt Cao's son, Sun Qiaoyun's sibling.
How could Sun Qiaoyun and Aunt Cao be willing to accept this? After all, they had worked hard through their own "efforts", and the final fruits of their labor belonged to Sun's mother, Brother Sun and others. They were so beautiful, so naturally they wanted to kill them. , only when they die can all this fall on them.
Seeing that Sun's father had really started to make things difficult for Sun's mother, Brother Sun and others, Linlang's robot in Sun's mansion also found out that Aunt Cao and Sun Qiaoyun were plotting to kill Sun's mother and others so that Sun Qiaoyun's brother would be in power in the future. Linlang then I told Sun's mother, Brother Sun and others about this. I told them that the capital was already very dangerous for them. They should come to see her and come to the border as an excuse.
Sun Qiaoyun felt that the emperor would definitely kill the third prince in the future, and by the way, he would also kill Sun Mu and others. He would let them come over and would not stop them.
Of course, you still have to be careful on the road, just in case Sun Qiaoyun and Aunt Cao bought a killer to kill them on the road. She had already borrowed soldiers from the third prince to protect them and told them to come quickly and not hesitate any more.
Don't have any illusions about Sun's father or the new emperor. You think that this was what Sun Qiaoyun and Aunt Cao discussed, not the emperor and Sun's father. Reporting this news to the emperor or Sun's father and asking them to seek justice is useless, and it's also useless. He would alert the snake and let them know that if Sun Mu and others knew about this, they would definitely be placed under house arrest and then die of illness. After all, how could the emperor side with Sun Mu, Brother Sun and others? He would definitely side with Sun Qiaoyun.
The emperor is on Sun Qiaoyun's side, and Sun's father will definitely not dare to disobey, so they should stop having illusions.
Before the change, Brother Sun's family might have felt that the frontier was too difficult and they were unwilling to come over. But now, the situation at home is getting more and more tense, and Sun Qiaoyun is indeed full of hostility towards him, unlike his sister's attitude towards her brother. , for the sake of his own life, Brother Sun discussed with his wife and decided to follow his sister's advice and leave the capital, because as Linlang said, they didn't dare to believe their father and the emperor, and they didn't dare to tell them about it.
Sure enough, they said they wanted to go to the border to see Linlang. Aunt Cao and Sun Qiaoyun felt that the emperor would definitely kill the third prince in the future and let them go and take them away in a wave, so they did not let their father stop them and followed their mother. I left with Brother Sun and his family.
They didn't even send assassins to intercept and kill them on the road. Obviously, they believed very much in the ability of the fourth prince, and felt that with the methods that the fourth prince could use to rise to power, he would definitely be able to beat Sun Mu and others to death in the future. There was no need to hire assassins to do such a thing, lest anyone pay attention. , exposing this matter would be detrimental to them.
