Having said this, the man looked at the face of the person in front of him and said cautiously: "Master, after receiving the tip, I have been thinking about it. No matter where this force comes from, who is behind the scenes. But from what I have done so far Judging from what they did, they were targeting that bastard. I thought, since they are hostile, we might as well just sit back and let them fight over each other."
"No matter who wins or loses, it will be extremely beneficial to the master. Therefore, on the one hand, I ordered Zhengzhou to stay away from the hidden line left by Zhengzhou, and on the other hand, continue to secretly trace the source of that force. If necessary, without exposing it, Under your own premise, you can also push them from behind to add more heat to their fight."
After listening to the report, the owner of the voice pondered for a moment and then said: "Well, the job was done pretty well. You go down and find the execution room yourself. Each of you will receive fifty lashes, and then go and collect a hundred coins. Fifty lashes This is to punish you for not doing your job well in Jingzhao, and one hundred guan is to reward you for your job in Zhengzhou. You did a pretty good job. Now get out of here."
After the subordinates who had saved a few lives went down as if they had been granted amnesty. The man pondered for a moment, raised his head and seemed to be looking at a calligraphy and painting in front of him, but in fact he was looking at the other side, a dark corner where the candlelight could not reach. He seemed to be talking to himself: "The current situation in Zhengzhou, Mr. I’ve heard that, how about learning from it sir?”
"Those minions are not doing their job well, and the secret information of that bastard must have been delivered to the father. I don't want to think about whether the situation in Zhengzhou is in chaos or not. What I am most worried about now is my father's reaction to this matter. How do you think about it? If my father is really suspicious of me, how can I get rid of the suspicion?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a thin body and an extremely ordinary face walked out from the dark corner. He smiled slightly and said: "His Royal Highness, King of Shu, is overly worried. In fact, the secret package of King Ying cannot be delivered." , it doesn’t matter at all. As long as Prince Jing’s family, or to be precise, Prince Jing’s wife cannot reach the capital and cannot see the emperor, that secret secret will be useful if it is said to be useful, and it will be useless if it is said to be useless.”
"The emperor has a suspicious character. He won't believe the contents of the secret book, but he won't believe everything. Your Majesty, don't forget that although the emperor cannot know the personalities of the princes thoroughly, he is absolutely inseparable. So, Your Majesty I definitely don’t believe everything about that secret. King Jing is already dead, and when King Jing died, King Ying was the only one around him."
"There is no proof. The matters in the secret document are naturally whatever the King of England writes. Do you think that the Emperor will not guard against the King of England and use this secret document to play tricks on him? Don't forget, except for the prince, Of the three princes born by Queen Daxing, you are the only one left now. If you also fall, who among the kings will be the opponent of the King of England? Your Majesty will definitely not guard against this move."
"The prince is naturally aware of the fierceness of the kings to seize the legitimate heirs. As long as there is no witness, even if the secret is in the hands of the emperor, it will not pose a great threat to the prince. The key right now is Princess Jing, who must not enter the capital. In the following words Understand, although King Jing treats this concubine with respect, he never hides anything important."
"It can be said that this Princess Jing is the least favored woman around King Jing, but she is the most trusted person. Not everything about King Jing will be hidden from this Princess Jing. Once Princess Jing comes to Beijing, it will be The most deadly threat to the prince. We have the witness, plus the arrow outside the gate of the imperial hospital. By then, even if Queen Daxing is reborn, she may not be able to save the prince."
The title of this middle-aged man was correct. The owner of that cold voice was none other than the fifth prince of the Qi Dynasty, the King of Shu who now had the power to handle the affairs of Ruzhou. It's just that the elegance and elegance that this King of Shu originally displayed in front of the world has long since disappeared. Although he remained calm on the surface, his expression was slightly distorted.
But at least when facing this middle-aged man who came out of the darkness, the King of Shu still maintained a superficial calm: "How could I not know what you are talking about? I have sent people to intercept Princess Jing many times, but... Because that bastard made careful arrangements but failed many times, the killers in Zhengzhou, Jingzhao, and Bianzhou destroyed the embers."
"I didn't expect that my second brother could actually have a backup plan under such careful control. He could even bite me before he died. Not only the people I arranged around him were also slaughtered by him. They killed every one of them. Even the Thirteenth Battalion of the Iron Guards counterattacked with all their strength and suffered 70% loss. I was careless for a moment, but in the end I fulfilled that bitch."
"With the loss of the Thirteenth Battalion of the Iron Guard, coupled with the two failed assassinations, my king's killers on Henan Road have been completely lost. Except for Meiying, which cannot be used for assassinations, the remaining manpower is Nothing can be lifted up. Otherwise, do you think I will keep Prince Jing’s family alive to this day?”
Regarding the uncontrollable anger in King Shu's words, the middle-aged man smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, there is a solution for this matter. The situation in Zhengzhou seems to be calm at the moment, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging. As for How many people are interfering in those undercurrents, I am afraid that the prince can only know clearly by counting them carefully."
"Except for those clans who are greedy for the land under the original name of Prince Jing's Mansion, as well as the dignitaries in the court. From what I can see, most of them are probably the prince's brothers, and most likely even people in the palace. These brothers of yours , I may not have any interest in land. But I’m afraid that I’m not generally happy to find some trouble for that British king.”
The prince and the British king were appointed envoys to Ruzhou and Zhengzhou respectively as princes, and were given the power to command the army. It can be said that this is the first time since the founding of this dynasty and since Taizong. It's just that the prince is the legitimate son of Queen Daxing, but those people dare not speak out against the prince. For the King of England, who had been out of the palace for less than a year, to receive such important treatment from the emperor, some people's eyes might turn red. "
"Your Majesty, don't forget, there is a certain person in the palace who is in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. He thinks he is the Lord of the Sixth Palace. His wife is from Zhengzhou. The King of Song Dynasty is only about the same age as the King of England. January. However, the King of England is now ordered to lead the army to suppress the rebellion, and the foreign ministers are notified of Zhengzhou's envoys. It can be said that he has all the military and political power in his hands. However, the King of Song who came from him did not even get Mao."
"This makes the master who dreams of the crown prince's overthrow and sending King Song to the position of crown prince so that he can ascend to the throne, how can he breathe this sigh of relief? According to the reports of the informants we have placed in the palace, in the imperial edict On the day of the fall, the master even dropped his most beloved Hetian jade Ruyi."
"What's more, the King of Song was taught by her to be arrogant and arrogant. He has always looked down upon the King of England since he left the palace. Now the King of England has climbed on top of him. With King Song's character , how can we tolerate this situation? Based on my judgment, the things that are not on the table in Zhengzhou may have been caused by this Lord and the King of Song."
"First of all, the surrounding clans and the powerful people in the court are more interested in seeking money, and they cannot commit the crime of publicly breaking up with the King of England. Even if they cannot seek money, given the nature of this group of people, even if they can do such a thing, they will definitely It won't be so powerful. Secondly, among the princes, the only ones with such strength are King Teng who is vassalized in Tengzhou, Shandong Road, and King Yong and King Song who have not yet vassalized."
"However, although King Teng has such strength, he does not have such scheming. What's more, your sixth brother is greedy, but also extremely stingy. Let him use this money to do such a thing. It’s not necessarily that he won’t do it, but it’s unlikely. As for King Yong, at least now it seems that he has a close relationship with the King of England, so he should not do such things that harm others and benefit himself for the time being.”
"The only possibility left is the King of Song Dynasty. Zhengzhou is the hometown of the man in the palace, and his father has many disciples and former officials in the court. Although he himself is cultivated in Beijing, he still has a huge clan in Zhengzhou Yes. At least the secret forces in Zhengzhou are actually not inferior to King Jing, or even you."
"With this convenient condition, coupled with the eagerness to cause some trouble for the King of England, and the ambition to unseat the King of England to create opportunities for himself to ascend to power, the person behind the scenes is clearly revealed. Your Majesty, since This master intervened, thinking of causing some trouble and dragging the King of England off his horse, so that we can kill him with a borrowed knife."
"Hasn't she been secretly inciting the people to revolt by taking advantage of the fact that the imperial court has not come up with the Zhengzhou aftermath regulations yet? We are working harder to help her in this matter. Help her mobilize the people. , but the target of the siege has been transferred from the prefect's Yamen to Prince Jing's Mansion. When the time comes, let's fish in troubled waters again."
"Isn't that King of England known as the most compassionate prince in this dynasty? If the people besiege Prince Jing's Mansion, in order to win over the people, he may not necessarily send out the troops and horses of the Xiaoqi Battalion to forcibly solve it. He only has 500 troops stationed in Prince Jing's Mansion. If he faces Thousands of people are besieging us, and we can only be overwhelmed and exhausted. When the time comes, we can send killers to sneak into the palace, and we will get twice the result with half the effort."
"At the same time, we can also turn our attention to the master. Let their mother and son fight with the King of England, and the prince can reap the benefits. My prince, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. There is no need to act hastily in this matter, since The master has jumped out, so we can just sit on the mountain and watch the fight. As long as we take action at the right time, the effect will be better."
After the middle-aged man analyzed this, the King of Shu frowned and said: "What Mr. said makes sense. But the master you mentioned, including the King of Song who was taught by her, the two of them have a strong eye but a weak hand. He is as stupid as a pig. Apart from those small actions in private, he has no means to get on the stage."
"Don't forget who taught that bastard. If Concubine Jing were an ordinary person, how could she still frighten the veterans of the court more than ten years later? Sir, you underestimate me, my ninth brother. How can that stupid mother and son be a match for that bitch? With their little thinking, they are not even worthy of carrying shoes for Concubine Jing and her son."
"Putting my hope on their mother and son, I might as well find a pig to form an alliance. Besides, I have always believed that people have to rely on themselves. It is foolish to expect others to come forward. Especially the pair of pigs. The alliance between mother and son, even if it is temporary, is even more stupid. When the time comes, it might even involve me."
Although the King of Shu did not say it explicitly, the middle-aged man was not annoyed by his objections. He just smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, those mother and son are indeed as stupid as pigs. But don't forget, they have expert guidance behind them. The uncle of King Song, who is now the chief minister of Sinong Temple, is by no means an ordinary person. people."
"What's more, we are not openly allying with them. We are just adding fuel to the fire behind their private actions. They are looking forward to chaos in Zhengzhou, and the more chaotic Zhengzhou is, the better for us. Only the more chaotic Zhengzhou is, the better it will be for us. The better we can fish in troubled waters if there is no chaos. In that case, why wouldn't we do it? What's more, even if they are exposed, they are the ones looking for them over there."
