After finishing talking about the upper, middle and lower strategies, Zhonggu stared at Prince Wanli with bright eyes.
Wanli was silent, seeming to be thinking and making a decision.
Always wait patiently.
He also felt that a major matter like this really needed careful consideration.
But when he thought that the opportunity to rebuild the Great Xia Dynasty was right in front of him, the feelings of Xia Chen that had been hidden in his blood for thousands of years became as hot as surging magma.
"Ai Qing..."
Hearing Prince Wanli speak, Zhonggu hurriedly made a gesture of listening.
"With the three strategies of loving you, I will be able to successfully inherit the throne of the Ming Dynasty."
"Ai Qing worked hard for me, and is truly the number one contributor to the reconstruction of Daxia."
"I...I simply don't know how to thank you..."
I'm so happy to hear this!
"Your Majesty is serious!"
"Even though I will be reincarnated for thousands of years, Xia Chen's blood will always flow in my bones."
"I am willing to serve Your Majesty forever! I will never regret it!"
Wanli nodded solemnly.
There seemed to be tears flashing across his sword eyes.
Zhong Gu saw this and was so excited that his whole body trembled.
The king sheds tears for his subjects?
What an honor it is to be a minister?
"The three strategies mentioned by the minister may be inappropriate and need to be revised."
"I just have to wait until Your Majesty rescues me, and then I will make plans and make the three strategies as perfect as possible."
"In short, we must not miss His Majesty's important event!"
Wanli admired Xiang Zhonggu.
The two loyal ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty in the past have always been resourceful and resourceful, and Guan Longpang was loyal and strong.
Therefore, Guan Longpang followed Xia Jie to Nanchao and guarded the monarch until his death.
Zhongu entered reincarnation, waited for Xia Jie to reappear in the world in hundreds of reincarnations, and then attached to him to regain the throne!
"Ai Qing's three strategies are all in line with my wishes."
"But I think that the best strategy is the lowest cost, but it is just as likely to cause civil strife in the Ming Dynasty as the worst strategy."
"The only strategy is to let Empress Yaoguang ambush Emperor Jiajing. The Art of War says that if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. If Jiajing dies, how much will the strong ones under Empress Yaoguang lose?"
"If the enemy is weak, I will be strong."
"If Emperor Jiajing can exhaust Yaoguang's masters before his death, it will be considered as clearing the way for me to unify the nine states."
"Therefore, I want to try the right strategy first."
Wanli said, but still took the [Pan of the Other Side] from Zhonggu's hand and put it into his sleeve.
Zhonggu nodded repeatedly after hearing this!
"Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision that is beyond the reach of my ministers."
"Let Emperor Jiajing and Empress Yaoguang fight against each other, and your majesty reap the benefits. This is indeed the best policy!"
Wan Li also smiled and said: "In this case, I must go to the harem as soon as possible and try to see one of the two holy masters."
"I can serve your Majesty in this matter!"
Zhonggu hurriedly offered advice.
"When I first came into contact with Achang, the Holy Master of Arrows, I learned that she had tried to attack Emperor Jiajing, but failed."
"Later, she lurked in the palace. She thought it would be more convenient to assassinate her, but instead she was restricted everywhere and had no chance to make a move."
"If I hadn't expressed my sincere cooperation, both Holy Masters would have considered giving up the assassination and returning to the Daci Dynasty."
Wanli narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
"oh?"
…
…………
Daming Palace, Zhongcui Palace.
"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
Xue Susu, dressed in palace attire, is as soft and graceful as a willow tree, and more gorgeous than flowers.
As soon as she bowed, Jiajing took her hand and held her up gently.
"No need to send it off." Emperor Jiajing smiled and said, "I had a good rest last night and will come again tonight."
"yes."
Xue Susu lowered her head, seeming shy and secretly happy.
Her reaction was exactly what a concubine in the harem should look like, without any trace of hypocrisy.
Emperor Jiajing left in a dragon chariot.
There were not many people in Zhongcui Palace, which was Xue Susu's deliberate request.
She used the magical power of [Immortal in Painting] to hide her and Achang's cultivation in the painting, so that she could perfectly disguise herself as an ordinary woman.
But beware that the walls have ears. The fewer people in Zhongcui Palace, the better.
"Achang, help me back to the palace."
"Yes, concubine."
With Achang's support, Xue Susu returned to the palace carrying the air of a beloved concubine.
After closing the palace door, the joy of the holy family faded from Xue Susu's face, leaving only a touch of sadness.
"Lam Daoxing was arrested and imprisoned, and the foreign aid we just received is gone."
"If you are worried about this, I can leave the palace and send a message to the eldest sister to send help from Daci."
Achang finished speaking expressionlessly, but his sharp eyes stared at Xue Susu.
Her eyes seemed dissatisfied.
"Wait a minute." Xue Susu shook her head and said: "I heard that Prince Wanli returned safely and served as the chief judge of Lan Daoxing's case. If he can keep Lan Daoxing, we will wait for Lan Daoxing to be released from prison, and then join forces with him. Plan how to assassinate Emperor Jiajing."
"you……"
Achang was about to speak but stopped.
She felt that Xue Susu was too slow to take action. Since entering the palace, there has been almost no real action.
But Achang also knew that Emperor Jiajing was the best in the world. How difficult was it to assassinate him?
Thinking back to when Jing Ke assassinated Qin, Jing Ke was also the best assassin in the world.
But what's the result?
It only tore a corner of Emperor Qin's sleeve, not even half an inch of flesh was injured.
"Do you need me to go to the prison to get information?"
"If you release my cultivation, the guards of the Ming Palace will never be able to detect my whereabouts."
"No!" Xue Susu refused without hesitation: "There is Emperor Jiajing in the palace, and there is the mythical beast Zhuque. How dare you be careless? I am not completely sure. I would rather play the role of Emperor Jiajing's concubine than let you take risks easily. "
The two had different opinions and had nothing to say for a while.
"Alas..." Xue Susu sighed and said quietly: "Achang, you and I shoulder the important task of narrowly avoiding death. As the eldest sister and Daci, we should be cautious in everything."
After hearing this, Achang's expression finally softened.
"It is my fault."
"You have made no move since entering the palace. Several times, I almost thought you were deceived by Emperor Jiajing and were really willing to be his favorite concubine..."
Xue Susu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Achang with a strange expression.
"It's a shame you could figure it out?"
"Of course Emperor Jiajing and I are just having fun."
"All men in the world are weak-minded. How could I be tempted by a man and betray my eldest sister?"
"Have you forgotten that a man once hurt me like that?"
Achang obviously remembered something.
She lowered her head, her tone rarely apologetic.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reminded you of the painful past, let alone doubted you."
"You are the person personally selected by the eldest sister. Before leaving, the eldest sister also ordered me to fully cooperate with you."
"I actually doubted you..."
Snapped!
Achang slapped himself hard.
Although her cultivation level has been reduced, her strength is still great.
With just one slap, his mouth and nose began to bleed, and there was a fiery red slap mark on his face.
The sound alerted the palace people outside the palace, and immediately a palace maid and eunuch came over to inquire.
"Mother, are you okay?"
Xue Susu glanced at Achang distressedly.
When he spoke, his tone was the arrogance of a superior.
"You ungrateful and cheap maid, if you don't pay attention to your words next time, I will kill you with the cane!"
After hearing this, several palace maids outside the door secretly rejoiced.
Concubine Rou is now the most favored concubine in the harem, but her only personal maid is Achang.
If I could replace Achang in serving my concubine, my career would be just around the corner!
Inside the palace.
Xue Susu bent down and put her mouth to Achang's ear.
She spoke so quietly that the maid outside could not hear a word.
"I estimate that Prince Wanli will try his best to protect Lan Daoxing."
"When Lan Daoxing is released from prison, you can meet him again and discuss the details of our cooperation."
"As long as Lan Daoxing can regain the trust of Emperor Jiajing, he will be able to trick him into leaving the Ming Dynasty."
"When the time comes, I will accompany the driver, and I will cooperate with the eldest sister inside and outside to ambush Jiajing."
…
…………
Jin Yiwei ordered him to prison.
Zhonggu told Prince Wanli all the details of the two women's lurking without reservation.
"very good."
"When I return triumphantly from Yunzhou City, I can plan big things with Empress Yaoguang."
Zhonggu was slightly stunned when he heard this.
"Your Majesty still wants to go to Yunzhou City?"
"It's better to make plans early and take care of the big things first."
"It's just a Yunzhou City. In the future, your Majesty may not need to personally take action, and I can recover the lost territory for your Majesty."
After hearing Zhonggu's words, Prince Wanli only shook his head.
Zhonggu was a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, there are priorities."
"The two holy masters are lurking in the harem. Not only may they be exposed at any time, but the concubines in the harem are also jealous."
"The holy master of the painting uses magical powers to restrain his cultivation, just like an ordinary woman. If there is an accident in the palace fight, Your Majesty will lose a big helper."
Unfortunately, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it was impossible to sway Crown Prince Wanli's decision.
"Yunzhou City is my shame."
"If I don't regain Yunzhou, my shame will never be washed away. The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty will not recognize my qualifications to succeed."
"My beloved, don't you want me to wash away my shame?"
After hearing this, Zhonggu quickly knelt down.
"I am guilty!"
"Worried about the humiliation of my subjects, I will humiliate my subjects to death!"
"After I am released from prison, I will do my best to help your majesty regain Yunzhou City and avenge the previous shame!"
Zhonggu has mentioned several times that he will fully assist Wanli after he is released from prison.
He was hinting, reminding Wanli to save himself first.
A place like Jinyiwei's Prison was comparable to hell. Even though I had endured eighteen kinds of torture from Jinyiwei, I didn't want to experience it a second time.
Zhonggu just wondered in his heart: His Majesty has been asking me for a long time, but why didn't he mention a word about how to rescue me?
You know, the charges that Emperor Jiajing charged him with were quite serious.
"I will always love you."
"Um, I'm here."
"Actually, I thought that my life experience had been completely discovered by Emperor Jiajing."
When Zhonggu heard this, his expression changed drastically!
But he thought very quickly and realized something immediately.
"It's my minister... there must be Jin Yiwei's spies in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion."
"It seems that I exposed more information than I thought?"
"Your Majesty! You are in danger!"
Everlasting emergency.
Only then did he realize that he had been negligent and might even have made an irreparable mistake!
"Danger? Not so." Wanli shook his head: "I am the reincarnation of Emperor Xia, but I am also a genuine descendant of the Zhu family. If Emperor Jiajing kills me, what is the difference between killing me and killing me by blood?"
"But……"
Ever so anxious.
"Even if Emperor Jiajing doesn't dare to touch His Majesty, I'm afraid he will take away your position as crown prince!"
If you are not qualified to inherit the throne, what is the point of all your current plans?
"That's right."
Wanli sighed.
Finally, he wanted to reveal the true purpose of his trip.
"Actually, Emperor Jiajing ordered me to preside over the trial because he wanted me to take this opportunity to express my position."
"Between Emperor Xia and the descendants of the Zhu family, I must make a choice."
Zhonggu was confused at first, and then his eyes gradually widened.
He understood something, but there was an incredible look of fear on his face!
Wan Li said slowly with a tone of great pity and regret:
"I love you forever, your three strategies are very good, but I can implement them myself."
"I will never give up the position of Prince of the Ming Dynasty."
"So, I want to lend you your head..."
I owe you all a lot, so I stayed up late to write another 3,000 words! Good night!
