Xie Ling now needs a cane to stand up straight.
This is everything Liu Zhizhou brought to him!
Continuous thunderbolts, continual despair, and continual mental breakdown. He has been coughing up blood these days.
All energy and energy are gone.
He felt that he was about to die.
There is no turning back for him. This time, he not only lost almost half of the Longyan Dynasty's wealth, but also made the group of rich people who followed him feel miserable. He almost squandered all the resources he and the Queen's faction had.
This is the price of stud!
and……
Do you think he really wants to take risks?
Who doesn't want to live?
However, if he doesn't do something one last time, he really has no chance.
On the one hand, the prince is sitting firmly in Beijing. If he returns, he will only be at his mercy. On the other hand, he can no longer afford to support these 50,000 dead soldiers... Yes, he really can't afford to support them.
Things have come to this.
Stud.
We can only continue to stud!
He wants Liu Zhizhou dead!
He wants Xie Chan to die!
"kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Fifty thousand dead soldiers shouted in unison.
The sound shook the mountains and fields.
Target.
Beijing, go west, Yang'an Pass!
This is the information they got, Liu Zheng's only path to Beijing.
…
Ten days later.
The group of people had already left Liangzhou and headed straight to Hanzhong. When the princess arrived, King Yong of Hanzhong naturally came out to greet her.
Seeing King Yong again, Liu Zheng naturally couldn't help but exchange greetings with him.
The large group will rest here for one night before continuing on their journey.
At the banquet, King Yong sat next to Liu Zhizhou. When the wine was full of wine, he chuckled and said, "Gu Ye is ready. We will set off to Beijing at the same time as Liu Zhizhou tomorrow."
Liu Zheng was shocked and deeply moved.
Only then did he realize that King Yong was waiting to leave with him because he knew that Xie Ling would definitely cause trouble on the way... Once he caused trouble, Liu Zheng's three thousand soldiers didn't know if they could stop him. live.
"Thank you, King Yong!"
Liu Zheng expressed his gratitude.
King Yong laughed, patted Liu Zheng on the shoulder, and said lightly: "It's a pity that Liu Zhizhou is not from the royal family."
Liu Zhizhou was shocked and his face changed slightly: "King Yong be careful..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
King Yong then stood up tremblingly, lowered his head in Liu Zheng's ear, and whispered: "Yang'an Pass is only a few hundred miles away from Beijing. Liu Zhizhou guesses, will the prince send troops to pick you up?"
When Liu Zheng heard this, his expression changed drastically.
really.
The closer we get to Beijing, the more obvious will this intrigue become?
…
Jinghua.
East Palace.
Huangmei Opera is still singing.
The prince thanked Fang, patting his thigh while eating pastry.
"Okay, okay!"
"Reward, give me a reward!"
Lie flat.
What is lying down?
He felt that he was really lying down now! When Xie Ling was moving around, wooing influence and wealthy people, he stayed in the East Palace to watch the show.
Then, when Xie Ling was beaten to a bloody head by Liu Zheng, he was still here watching the show.
His strongest competitor was just gone?
So comfortable!
Nothing is meritorious?
It was great luck that he made friends with Liu Zhizhou! Thinking about how often he used to bring trouble to him, he felt a little scared for a moment.
"Where are you, where are you Liu Zhizhou? This time, I will get drunk with him before we stop!"
"Get drunk and you'll be done with it!"
Thinking of this, he couldn't bear it anymore.
A group of think tanks and counselors nearby looked at each other in shock when they heard this. Many people fell into strange contemplation.
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't you hear what I asked?"
Xie Fang said excitedly: "This time, Liu Zhizhou has helped me a lot. Please treat him well!"
"this……"
He was still the white-haired counselor, stroking his beard at this time, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I think you should think twice about this matter."
Xie Fang looked stunned: "Think twice? Think twice about what?"
Shouldn't he and Liu Zhizhou continue to deepen their friendship? If he had Liu Zhizhou as a strong support at this time, wouldn't it mean that his inheritance would be stable?
The white-haired old man, with a sinister look in his eyes, continued: "Your Highness, if you think so... Liu Zhizhou brought Princess Longyang to Beijing this time. I heard that Princess Longyang was obsessed with Liu Zhizhou. Very. Looking at the current situation, it is only a matter of time before Liu Zhizhou becomes the prince-in-law of the dynasty."
Xie Fang was a little confused: "Isn't that just a kiss?"
A group of think tanks rolled their eyes after hearing this.
Could this be a matter of kissing each other?
The old man continued: "Your Highness... If Xie Ling has any competitiveness, he and Liu Zhizhou can naturally get married. But now, the third prince has lost all his trump cards. The prince can think about it, after removing Xie Ling , who is your direct opponent?"
Only then did Xie Fang's expression change.
opponent?
He always thought that without Xie Ling, he would be able to sit back and relax. But when you hear it this way, it's wrong... In this Longyan Dynasty, there is no change of imperial power that can really ease people's worries. Without Xie Ling, other princes will naturally appear. This is inevitable, why? Because of Xie Ling's defeat, what will happen to the scholar-bureaucrats who used to support Xie Ling? What should those merchants in the south do?
They had already offended the prince's side badly in the previous battle for the heir.
Could it be that if they surrendered to the prince, they would be better off?
obviously.
cannot.
Every time an emperor comes to power, the first thing he does is to clean up his political opponents.
Therefore, at this time, they must support another opponent of the prince.
Or the fourth prince, or the seventh prince, or even the thirteenth prince.
This cycle will continue until Xie Tianyao truly dies and the new emperor truly comes to power, and all this will naturally end.
Xie Fang was horrified when he heard this: "What do you mean..."
The old man chuckled and said: "Your Highness, since others can support others, why can't they support Princess Longyang? Your Highness, please don't forget that we, Long Yan, have produced a female emperor..."
Xie Fang's face changed greatly: "This, this, this, is impossible, right? It's impossible, Liu Zhizhou..."
Before he finished speaking, cold sweat was already flowing down his face.
Princess Longyang!
Powerful Liangzhou!
If these two aspects are combined together, what kind of concept will it be?
Will it directly shake his position?
Do you even need to ask this?
His body became stiff instantly, and for a moment, he felt that the melon seeds in his hand no longer smelled good.
"What do you mean..."
"This time, no matter what happens in Yang'an Pass, we shouldn't save them?"
Xie Fang trembled as he said this.
Everyone nodded.
Why should we save him?
We don’t know what will happen in Yang’an Pass?
If Xie Ling could really kill Liu Zhizhou and Xie Chan, wouldn't this be something they would like to see?
If it doesn't work.
Xie Ling must die!
As for Liu Zhizhou, if they come to greet him again, they won't offend him.
Best of both worlds!
Kill with a borrowed knife!
