East Palace.
The prince knelt down in front of the table.
The white gauze curtain in front is hanging from above.
The melodious music of the piano came from the distance, the breeze blew slowly, and the curtains shook slowly, creating a pure and peaceful atmosphere.
The prince walked slowly from afar. After reaching the attic, he took off his shoes himself and stepped on the smooth floor with his white socks. Every step he took was silent. He slowly came to the side of the prince and asked for a copy. The secret fold was taken out from the wide sleeves and placed gently on the table.
The prince was holding a blue-covered book and was watching it with concentration. Suddenly he couldn't help but cheered: "Iron Eagle Warrior."
"As expected of a world-famous warrior."
"In the first battle in the northern frontier, we broke through ten formations in a row and defeated the barbarians. As a result, our horses trampled on the tents of sweat. I won a great victory in the northern frontier of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"The pillar of the Duke of Ning, the White Jade Pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I am going to post today. I want to visit the Duke of Ning and ask him face to face how he promoted the power of our emperor Zhou Xiong in the past battles in the northern border."
The prince responded and said, "Nuo."
The prince reluctantly put down the book in his hand, reached for the secret folder and said, "This is how my useless brother met Dou Changsheng."
The prince picked up the secret folder, but did not look at it. Instead, he threw it away and said, "Burn it with fire. How can it be useful if it can be obtained by you under surveillance?"
"This time, King Jin did not hesitate to interfere with the six sects, and also wanted to invite Dou Changsheng back. He just planned to rely on Dou Changsheng to make a comeback and reverse the current disadvantage."
The prince paused in his words, reached out to pick up the Tian Ji Bao beside him, and said with a few clicks of his fingers: "This is not a sudden illness and indiscriminate treatment. Dou Changsheng is capable of this."
"The tragedy in Xiaoyuan shocked the world. Today, Dou Changsheng is no longer the young catcher he used to be. He has the hope of the world, and his every move attracts the attention of the world. This sudden entry into the divine capital will have a considerable impact."
"The King of Jin invited Dou Changsheng to the capital of the gods, but it brought a lot of help to the King of Jin and his party, and the momentum was greatly increased. Many people who were interested in joining the palace have now stopped. They have all begun to wait and see the situation."
"I did not expect that Dou Changsheng, alone, could have such momentum."
"In this Tianji report a few days ago, Wei Wangbao was accused by Dou Changsheng and vomited three liters of blood, and then he was convinced."
"Things like these that appear in fairy tales actually appear in reality. When the Tianji Bao announced it, it is naturally true and credible. This has made Dou Changsheng's reputation rise to a higher level."
"Nowadays, Dou Changsheng's influence is so great that he is like a first-level martial arts master, a supreme master."
"But his lack of strength is Dou Changsheng's fatal flaw. However, his wisdom cannot be underestimated. You can go to the treasury and propose another gift to send to Senior Long Yang."
"Tell Senior Long Yang that I will not ask him to do anything this time. As long as I don't help King Jin and do not help each other, I will not treat him badly. In the future, when I take office, I will not treat the Great Sun Sect badly. I will Treat Dainichi Sect and Changsheng Valley the same."
"Dou Changsheng is here."
The prince paused, showing a look of embarrassment. He felt a little displeased with Dou Changsheng in his heart, but he couldn't do it directly. Now Dou Changsheng has not expressed his position, and he cannot invite him back because he is the King of Jin, and meet the King of Jin again. It belongs to the Jin Dynasty Party.
The great cause has not yet been accomplished. What we need to do now is to make friends and make fewer enemies.
After hesitating for a moment or two, the prince made a decision and said: "I will give Dou Changsheng a message. I will entertain him at a banquet."
Shiren warned: "Just by posting the message, Marquis Chen may not come. This meeting with the King of Jin is mostly due to the coercion of the King of Jin."
The prince thought for a while and then said: "Then invite more people, nine cabinet ministers, and six important ministers. Dou Changsheng will be unable to shirk. Then I will find a time to talk to Dou Changsheng in person."
"I don't ask the other party to help me. The important party is like Senior Long Yang. It's okay if we don't help each other."
"Even if I have to spend some resources to support them in vain, I will accept it."
Sheren showed a look of sincerity and sincerity. The prince is smart and decisive. He will definitely be a wise king in the future. It is a great blessing to meet the wise master.
The prince looked at the departing Sheren, picked up the book, did not read it, but said flatly: "The saint has been too quiet recently. This is definitely not his character."
"Send someone to Zongzheng's mansion and invite Da Zongzheng to enter the palace."
"The country, mountains, and country of the Great Zhou Dynasty belong to the Ji family, not to the saint alone."
Longmen Pass.
In a secret room.
King Jin was holding a tea cup, drinking tea slowly, and then slowly asked: "Has Senior Long Yang negotiated the price?"
Long Yang showed a confident look and spoke in a tone that left no doubt: "The specific price has not been negotiated. After all, the Minister of Rites has a high position and is the minister of the Zhou cabinet. We can't make a move now."
"So the target is someone else. If you want to know who it is specifically, you need to research the members of the princelings. The price charged cannot be one-size-fits-all and will vary from person to person, so Your Highness needs to pay a certain deposit first."
When Long Yang said this, his face became unhappy, and he cursed and said: "Why don't you want to get involved in the battle for the legitimate son, and don't think about who you are."
"Is it possible that I have other intentions when I enter the divine capital this time? Otherwise, no one would be hiding and not coming back at this time."
"This coy gesture is just asking for more benefits from His Highness."
King Jin nodded in approval and said: "I understand this too, but how much should I pay for the deposit?"
Long Yang said unceremoniously: "Of course I have surrendered to him. I will give him the thousand heavy armored soldiers first, and then I will get two beauties from all races, and prepare some spiritual wine. Giving so much first is a sign of sincerity." That’s enough.”
"Your Highness, go and prepare. Leave it to me when the time comes and I will deliver it to Dou Changsheng."
King Jin slowly stood up, thanked him and said, "Senior, please rest assured that I will be well prepared."
After King Jin walked out of the secret room, he said to the steward Xiu who was waiting outside: "Qi Xiu will go and select the two best beauties from all the races collected by Gu, and then send them to Chen Hou."
"Choose three more from the others and give them to Senior Long Yang."
"Thousands of Liang heavy-armored soldiers in the Fifth Army Protector's Mansion go to Captain Yang. All of them will be released from custody and their armor and weapons will be returned. Then we will notify the orphans."
"Send it to me personally."
King Jin looked towards the direction of the secret room, and then withdrew his gaze. How could he deliver the things to Long Yang? It would be a suspense for him to give the deposit to Long Yang or him.
Many times I have paid real money, but let the middleman earn favors.
For example, in the Six Beiyang Towns, the imperial court paid real money, but in the end they became their private soldiers.
With this down payment, we have to wait for the good news about Dou Changsheng.
King Jin took out a small mirror and began to sit on the chair, trimming his eyebrows. At the same time, he was thinking about how to contact the saint.
Dou Changsheng's move was just a superficial move. The King of Jin did not expect to win through this. It was used to attract the Crown Prince's attention.
King Jin has not yet reached the end of his rope, but even if that day comes, King Jin will not place all his hopes on one person.
When King Jin was a child, he was constantly favored and thought that the saint liked him. But since he grew up, King Jin has realized that it is not the saint who likes him, but the prince who threatens the saint.
The prince was smart and decisive, and whenever the courtiers praised him, it was like a sharp blade waving towards the saint, making the saint feel like a light on his back, fearing that one day he would wake up and the prince would have led the soldiers into the palace.
This kind of situation is unlikely in other unified dynasties, but the hope of the Great Zhou Dynasty is very high, because in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Taizong had already made a bad start, so the descendants will naturally be able to follow suit. This is because there are ancestral rituals that can be learned.
So the saint began to support himself, and even provoked other princes, so that all the kings became interested in the throne.
Based on my understanding of the saint, the saint will not sit back and wait for death. Even if he wants to abdicate, he will not be willing to be the emperor who provides for the elderly. He must want to secretly control the court.
In this case, the prince who grasps righteousness is a thorn in the side of the saint and a thorn in the flesh.
Because if the prince ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, it represents justice and righteousness, and it is easy to eliminate the influence of the saint.
On the contrary, if he ascends to the throne, he must surpass the prince and use some unconventional means. This is a stain. This will cause many courtiers in the court to be dissatisfied with him, and they will move closer to the saint.
Prince Jin took a deep breath. Even though he knew this, he had to think that he had been pushed up step by step by the saints for so many years. He had no way out. If he failed, even the idle prince would not be able to become a prince. He must be seriously ill. And the ending of death.
Taking a step back would be death, and waiting for death would be death, so it would be better to fight for it.
As for this great week, I will control the flood after I die.
Not only saints, but also Taizong and Gaozong.
Talents like him are easy to control, but the prince cannot. In this game, it seems that he is in danger and on the eve of defeat, but in fact he is already in an invincible position.
Unless they are saints, Gaozong, Taizong, they have no intention and will not interfere with the internal affairs of the Zhou Dynasty.
But is this possible?
King Jin sneered.
Now it's not enough, he has to get into trouble, and the situation will get even worse.
King Jin looked towards the direction of the secret room, with a chill in his eyes. The Great Sun Sect sent him out just because the Great Sun didn't think much of him anymore, but he couldn't break his old promise and let this person mess with it.
It's a good thing to do nothing if you want to get money.
His biggest supporters were betrayed.
The prince is simply too powerful.
Use retreat to advance, risk death and live later.
King Jin stood up, shook his sleeves, and began to walk slowly outside. This game had just begun. He hoped that his good brother would think of his real opponent.
It was not him, but Taizong and Gaozong who did not want to abdicate and tried to restore power and regain power.
This is not a fight for the right to inherit the throne.
But the battle for the throne.
