East Palace.
The prince was dressed in spotless white clothes, and his slender fingers were gently playing with a green ring, spinning it repeatedly while listening to the words of Lu Fang, the left minister of the Ministry of Etiquette.
After Lu Fang finished speaking, there was silence in all directions. It took a long time for the prince to speak: "Are you trying to persuade me to take action?"
Lu Fang said in a deep voice: "Exactly."
"In the past three months, we have been running around for the Minister of Rites, and now we have achieved a great victory. Mr. Wang will soon enter the cabinet to pay homage to the Prime Minister. Logically speaking, the most important thing for us to do at this time is to wait."
"As long as Mr. Wang is in the cabinet, we will have strong help. But that's why King Jin will never remain indifferent, and neither will Dou Changsheng, who has a deep hatred for us."
"But this is not the key. The most important thing is His Majesty Taizong and the saint."
"In that court meeting, the General and the Chief Situ took the initiative to speak, and King Chen also spoke in agreement. This sudden change was the main reason for the great reduction in our strength. This is enough to show that His Highness's enemies are not only the King of Jin, but also the King of Jin. And them."
"His Highness is already the target of public criticism and their public enemy. Now that their strength has been greatly reduced, they are fighting on their own. But if Mr. Wang arrives in the divine capital and His Highness' strength increases, they will unite again."
"Facing their alliance, His Highness is no match at all. The only way to break the situation is to defeat them individually."
"I thought about it for a long time and found out that Dou Changsheng is really powerful. He knew our situation, so after Mr. Wang left, he immediately chose to recast the Ice Soul Sword, showing his weakness and luring us to take action."
The prince played with the ring for a moment, and after three or five breaths of silence, he spoke: "Why didn't Dou Changsheng wait until Mr. Wang arrived before taking action?"
"Wouldn't this be more certain?"
Lu Fang shook his head slightly and said: "Your Highness has made it easy. They are fighting on their own, and their strength is too scattered. They are simply a mess. If not for Your Highness as a public enemy, it would be impossible to unite."
"It seems that they are powerful together, but we are worried that they are not opponents at all. But from our perspective, thinking from their perspective, how can Dou Changsheng be sure that they can unite again?"
"In his vision, the princelings are extremely powerful and a difficult opponent to defeat."
"So it's just the right time to take action at this time. As long as His Highness has the intention to kill him, he must respond."
"Or go and bet that they won't unite after Mr. King comes?"
The prince sighed, bet?
How can it be.
I don't dare to gamble at all.
Just like the other party is in the same situation, all you see is that the other party is strong, but you know your own affairs, the risk of gambling is too great, and it is far less risky than the challenge at this time.
Why.
The prince sighed again.
I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart.
When did he actually regard Dou Changsheng as his biggest enemy in his life?
Moreover, as a prince, Zhengshuo of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the heir apparent of a country, he actually felt that he was in a weak position.
Not only did he think so, but Lu Fang in front of him also thought so.
Dou Changsheng was just a martial artist, but he bullied the current prince. He was simply bullying the emperor and acting treasonously.
Gu Deaf
The prince sighed again, it was really unspeakable that he was persecuted by the mere master of the Vermillion Bird Hall.
One wrong step, one wrong step.
King Jin received such strong support and in turn oppressed himself, which actually made the prince feel suffocated.
Dou Changsheng showed his weakness to the enemy and exposed his own shortcomings. This was a conspiracy. He not only lured himself to take action, but also forced himself to take action, using his own life as bait. This was Dou Changsheng's true nature.
The prince saw a deeper level. The three-month plan had already laid out a killing plan, but he had to accept the challenge, unless it was a gamble.
But gambling is impossible. My family has a big business and already has the upper hand. How can I gamble my life?
They are being plotted inside and out.
The only good news is that Dou Changsheng is a human being, not a god.
The prince did not lose confidence. He looked at Lu Fang and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Lu Fang raised his hand and stretched out two fingers, gestured to the prince and said: "Two ways."
"The first and safest way is to kill by force."
"Even if Dou Changsheng has the Ice Soul Sword, he is not as good as a second-level martial arts grand master. He does not have the heavy armored soldiers. He can kill Dou Changsheng as long as he asks a grand master to take action."
"In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, you can invite a supreme master, Changsheng Brother Changshou Zhenren or the God Lord Zhuge Wuwo, and then three or five great masters to take action. If you don't believe that Dou Changsheng is immortal."
The prince directly rejected the sermon: "Master Changshou is the mainstay of the righteous way. It is impossible to do such an assassination. The Lord Shen is also aboveboard. There is no need to say such words again."
"Although I look down on Dou Changsheng, he is the master of the Six Gates Suzaku Palace and is already an important minister of the country. If he dies in an assassination, the impact will be too bad. This will be a major blow to the remaining prestige of the Great Zhou Dynasty. .”
"You must act within the rules, otherwise I will kill you today and you will kill me tomorrow. The civil and military people in the dynasty will be panicked, and the Great Zhou Dynasty will be dead."
Lu Fang sighed in his heart, isn't it the reason why Dou Changsheng is unscrupulous and dares to persecute the prince now?
When his status reaches the master of the four major halls, direct assassination breaks the rules, and the impact it brings is too great, which will chill the hearts of the world. But today is different from the past, and now the battle for the heir has reached its most cruel moment.
If you want to win, you must do whatever it takes. This sentence is also a temptation. If you kill Dou Changsheng, you can naturally kill King Jin.
The prince vetoed, which satisfied Lu Fang. He was worthy of being supported by their Ministry of Etiquette and a person who observed etiquette. Such a person is worthy of recognition, but not worthy of following.
Lu Fang was leaning toward mutiny in his heart. The current mess was really disgusting. Taizong and other late emperors were restless, as were the saints. Among all the royal families in the past, the Zhou royal family was the only one like this.
Now if we want to rectify the world, we must cut through the chaos quickly and sort out the imperial power first.
The saint has lost his virtue and his strength has declined greatly. He will die when he dies. Once the saint dies, this dispute will end.
No one knew that Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, who strictly abided by etiquette, would have such extreme and treasonous thoughts.
The chaos in the city of God has become more and more intense, and there are already signs of a military confrontation. Lu Fang knows that he is definitely not the first to think so, nor is he the last.
Lu Fang calmed down for a moment, and finally spoke: "No matter how prepared Dou Changsheng is, even if he accepts the challenge, he cannot get into Dou Changsheng's rhythm and be led by the opponent."
"The black market is about to open, and the sky is full of dragons and snakes. It's just the right time to attack Dou Changsheng."
Lu Fang bowed to the prince and said, "This is either success or death. Please take care of yourself, Your Highness."
