"What a vicious plan." The more Emperor Qianwen thought about it, the more he sighed at the viciousness of this plan. But he is the emperor after all, and he has seen too many things. If he is not smart enough, he may not be able to hold the throne now. He would not sit down by himself. It was impossible to really embarrass himself by pointing to this matter. Only a quarter of an hour later, Emperor Qianwen thought of a countermeasure. He wanted to see the prince, and the matter finally came to an end. No matter what, it still has to fall on the prince.
That night, the emperor went to Yaohua Palace, had dinner there, read the name of Concubine Li, and slept here that night.
That night, Emperor Qianwen, with all his power, kept persuading Concubine Li Huang. The general idea was to ask her to cooperate with him. The position of crown prince must belong to Tang Xin, and no one else can take it away. At one point, he could even write down a secret decree. All he had to do was ask Tang Xin to seize the military power of the King of Jin, and the decree would be put into his hands.
Emperor Qianwen tried his best to satisfy Concubine Li not only in words, but also in actions. Concubine Li was tortured to death that night, and her screams spread far away, and finally attracted Concubine Li, whose face was flushed. support for him.
The next morning, the prince was summoned to the harem and met his mother, Concubine Li Huang.
"Xin'er, your father has promised that as long as he seizes the military power of King Jin, he will immediately hold a ceremony for the title of queen. At the same time, he will also write a secret edict to you. From now on, you will be the unshakable prince. A hundred years from now, your father will You are the only reasonable heir." The moment she saw Tang Xin, Concubine Li Huang said this excitedly.
If he hadn't had the conversation with Prince Jin, the prince would have believed these words deeply and would have happily agreed. But last night, he went back and thought about it all night, and he felt more and more that his father seemed to be using him, and It's not that he really wants to pass on the big position to himself.
The thing is very simple. If Emperor Qianwen was really optimistic about himself, why did he bring up Prince Xiang to compete with him for power?
There is also the matter of Shen Ao. He is just a loyal Duke. If he hurts himself, does it really hurt him in vain? If his father loves him, why doesn't he punish Shen Ao for his death penalty? It's just a dream of a monk and a few words. Can things just be treated as if nothing happened?
Even if he was injured, he could not get justice, and he also said that he would pass the throne to him in the future. Who would believe these words? Who could believe it?
After all, it is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others. Taking advantage of his father's desire to seize his uncle's military power, if he can take the opportunity to get the military power of the Silver Armored Guards, then he will not have to look at other people's faces, and he will be crown prince. Really secure.
As for what the secret is? Haha!
The emperor can take back that thing at any time, and he can even deny the decree and just say that he is a forgery. If it is really like this, what will he do?
Tang Xin really wanted to tell his mother and concubine not to trust his father gullibly. But he couldn't say these words. He knew that his mother loved his father deeply. If he really said this, I'm afraid these words would soon come out. If it reaches the ears of the father, if that is the case, he will become very dangerous.
"What the Queen Mother said is that I will think about it carefully when I go back, and the most important thing is to discuss it with my uncle." Tang Xin kept an eye on it and did not veto it on the spot, but postponed the matter indefinitely.
How did Concubine Li Huang know this? She just thought her son had figured it out and said happily, "Okay, you can go see your uncle and talk to him. He has worked too hard these years. As for the illness all over the body, wouldn't it be better to hand over military power and be a dashing prince now? There is no need to worry about things that should not be worried about. Remember, the surname in this world is Tang, not Li."
"Yes, I have recorded the words of my mother and concubine." The prince could see that his mother had been completely brainwashed by his father, and she did not have much affection for his uncle. Otherwise, he should not have invited his uncle into the palace. Let’s talk about their relationship as brother and sister?
After the prince left the Yaohua Palace, Concubine Li Huang immediately sent someone to send a message to the emperor, saying that the prince had been persuaded and just needed to wait for the good news. But unknown to him, the prince was not going to other courtyards at all, nor was he visiting his uncle. mean.
At this time, the prince could not convince King Jin at all, let alone his father. It would be better to do nothing and just wait and see what happens.
...
Hanshan Temple.
So far, Shen Ao has stayed with Master Awakening for a full month.
In one month, Shen Ao never learned martial arts and reached the peak of An Jin. He was just a step away from Ming Jin. It has to be said that the speed of his progress is jaw-dropping. The awakening master has already reached the peak of An Jin. I don’t know how many times I have said the word “genius”.
The progress was so rapid that Shen Ao finally got the permission from Master Awakening to leave the temple. The next step is Shen Ao's practical application of martial arts. If he just immerses himself in studying hard, his progress will not be too fast.
Knowing that he could go down the mountain, Shen Ao bowed deeply three times to Master Awakening. Although the other party had never acknowledged his identity as a teacher, Shen Ao had already regarded him as his enlightenment teacher. This bowing ceremony was very necessary.
Knowing that Shen Ao could go down the mountain, Butler Shen Xing came to the foot of the mountain with a group of guards. It is worth mentioning that within a month, Shi Lei, Feng Xun and others did not disappoint Shen Ao, and the number of guards in the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion reached three Hundreds of people with the lowest cultivation level have reached the standard of Ming Jin, and among them there are nearly one-fifth of the masters of Dark Jin.
Although it is only the early stage of Anjin, it has already achieved remarkable results.
In terms of overall quality, the actual combat power of the guards of the Zhongguo Palace is very strong. This has a lot to do with Shen Ao's willingness to spend money.
In peacetime, the status of warriors is always low. This kind of people, who are called simple-minded and well-developed limbs, seem to be the lowest social class. Not only are they not respected by people, they are not given any preferential treatment in terms of food and clothing. He is often barked at and barked at like a dog. It seems that if he is not treated like a dog, he will not be able to show his status as a master.
The guards of Duke Zhong's Mansion are completely different. Not only are they well-dressed, but they also have several sets of clothes to change to ensure their dignity. Even the richer people can't compare to them in terms of food. They have meat for every meal and salt. It makes their bodies stronger, and I don't know how envious the guards in other houses will be when they find out.
What's more important is their own treatment. Not to mention five taels of silver per person per month, there will be additional rewards once they have made great contributions. If they have made great contributions, they can also be promoted. This is for these martial arts practitioners. Things that no one dares to even think about.
The Zhongguo Duke's Mansion can help them realize these ideas and wishes. When the news spread, many rangers volunteered to come to the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion in order to get this job that everyone envied. Even if they lost their freedom because of it, No one would complain about becoming a domestic slave of the loyal government.
This caused many people to be rejected during the selection process. Especially some rangers who were lazy, had only a manly body, and had some brute strength (there were also many who were actually gangsters). Most of them were rejected. In the end, some errant border troops were bought from the slave market, and finally these three hundred elite guards were gathered together.
When Shen Ao came down the mountain, three hundred guards were lined up in several rows. When Shen Ao approached from a distance, they all fell to their knees on the ground and said in unison, "I've met the master."
"Not bad." Three hundred people knelt down in unison, and the momentum was still impressive. Shen Ao nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said with great momentum: "Go back home!"
At this point! Crazy Shen is coming down the mountain.
The name of Crazy Shen has become a name recognized by everyone. Marquis Baisheng, the Lu family, Prince Xiang and even the prince were all injured by him. What else could such a person be if he were not a madman?
As Crazy Shen left the monastery and returned to Daliang City, things were destined to change because of him, and things were going to be turbulent because of him!
...
There has been no movement in the East Palace. The prince seems to have contracted an illness and has been shut up for several days.
As a result, Emperor Qianwen's previous plan to entertain King Jin in the palace in two days had to be pushed back again and again.
If there really was a banquet, what would be said?
The King of Jin has already spread the word that he can hand over military power to the prince. However, in order to show that Emperor Qianwen is sincere in passing the throne to the prince, the military power of 50,000 silver-armored guards must also be handed over to the prince. This request, Emperor Qianwen would naturally not agree.
For Emperor Qianwen, he was an extremely power-loving person, and it was difficult for anyone to match his suspicions. Unless he died, he would not easily give up the military power in his hands even if he was seriously ill in bed and died at any time. Hand it over, because that would mean that he cannot control his own destiny, which is something he absolutely cannot tolerate and cannot do.
If you can't agree, then don't meet. In recent days, no one has mentioned the matter of relinquishing the military power of the Jin Dynasty. Daliang City seems to have returned to its previous calm.
The so-called restoration of calm refers to the gradual stabilization of the court situation. In fact, Daliang City has been in chaos recently. The cause of all this is the five thousand cavalry led by King Jin. Their entry into Daliang City is like a good and evil wolf entering a sheepfold. , I ate delicious food and drank good food when I saw it in the city, but they didn’t even give me a penny. According to these soldiers, they have done too much to protect this country, and now they just want to take some Do you still need to pay for things?
This was naturally done under the instruction of the King of Jin. If the military discipline of the Jin army was really so bad, Emperor Qianwen would not be afraid of him. This was just a method of the King of Jin to force Emperor Qianwen to feel disgusted with him. , it would be best to directly order him to get out.
King Jin's goal has been achieved, instigating the father-son relationship between Emperor Qianwen and the prince. It is conceivable that the prince will only rely on him more in the future, so that his position as King of Jin is stable. At the same time, Emperor Qianwen's thoughts have been dispelled. If you want to seize your own military power, it is time to leave Daliang City.
