When the Prince's carriage arrived, the situation had already returned to what it was before. However, less than twenty soldiers were guarding the outer courtyard. When someone saw the Prince's carriage arriving without any intention of turning around, someone quickly reported it to the courtyard, and the news came in.
King Jin heard it when he got up.
"The prince is here and he hasn't turned around. What does he mean?" After hearing this, King Jin looked at Tian Yu, the chief staff officer, as if he was unsure of what to do.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Let's see what the Crown Prince says. No matter what, it is a good thing that the Crown Prince is here. Even if he does not support the King, he will support the King in leaving Daliang City. It is ultimately a good thing." Naturally, Tian Yu did not agree either.
He knew the changes that had taken place in the prince's heart, but he believed that even if he could not win over the prince, he should not offend him. Otherwise, if no one in the palace spoke for the king, the situation would become crisis and embarrassing.
"That's fine." King Jin nodded when he heard this, turned around and walked towards the bed again.
The prince came and entered the main room. He saw the pale King Jin lying on the bed again. Seeing that his uncle's expression had not improved, the prince couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. He
I even thought that if King Jin was gone, wouldn't he be even less important without foreign aid? Wouldn't his father take the crown prince position if he was unhappy?
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince." The look of him dragging his sick body to show up to the Crown Prince fell into Tang Xin's eyes, causing him to speed up his pace and walked to the bedside and said: "Uncle is not in good health, so there is no need to be polite, but
Just call Xin'er."
"Okay, Xin'er, why are you here?"
"Xin'er heard that someone was surrounding my uncle's residence, so he rushed to help. It seems that those people have left, so Xin'er can rest assured. By the way, uncle, what is going on?" Prince Edward
It was true that he didn't understand. Although he met the retreating Marquis Zhongcheng and even Eunuch Yanfu and Jinjiawei on the way, he didn't know how the matter was resolved.
"Hey, this is what happened." The King of Jin looked very aggrieved and told all the things he knew. There were some embellished words in it. For example, the loyal Duke was so bold that the Jin soldiers just asked
Why was Xianweiju only open to members and not allowing them to enter, so they suffered a fatal disaster? Also, after Marquis Zhongcheng led his men to surround the other courtyard, he showed off his swords and guns, looking like he would launch an attack at any time.
If there weren't a thousand elite Jin troops in the other courtyard, he, the King of Jin, might have been kidnapped or even killed.
The King of Jin also emphasized the emperor's oral instructions, "This is simply to protect and warn the king. Unfortunately, we lost three elite soldiers, including a Qianhu, and all we got in exchange was the fine and salary of the loyal public servant."
It's only been half a year. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, the lives of the Jin soldiers were so worthless in the eyes of the emperor. It seems that the existence of the Jin army has become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of some people, and they will be unhappy if they don't get rid of it.
Xin'er, if this continues, I'm afraid that not only will you not be able to benefit from your uncle, but you will also be implicated because of your uncle, so that your position as crown prince will not be guaranteed."
This sentence hit the mark on the prince's mind. Thinking of seeing the Silver Armored Guards and the Golden Armored Guards who did not stop in his car along the way, he was in a bad mood. He felt like he was about to be abandoned. Now,
After being woken up by his uncle again, the prince forced a smile and said: "Uncle, the matter is not that serious."
"Yes. If uncle is still in Jinzhou, there will be no problem. With uncle as a foreign aid, even if you do something wrong, your father will probably treat you lightly considering the 200,000 Jin troops.
But now my uncle listened to Xin'er and took the initiative to come to Daliang City. Now he is like a bird in a cage. He can't give you any help, so the situation has naturally changed. Is your father still there?
There is nothing to be scrupulous about.”
The look of King Jin's regret beating his chest fell into Tang Xin's eyes, and he regretted it even more. If he had known this earlier, he would not have pried on his uncle's military power, and the situation would not have been so bad.
Little did they know that the reason why King Jin came to Daliang City was not entirely due to Tang Xin. He would often cough up blood and his lifespan was only three to five years. After he left, would his children and grandchildren be able to inherit the position of King Jin?
That was what he cared about most. So he took this risky move. He wanted to get help from his nephew, the prince, and his promise to allow his children and grandchildren to inherit the throne of Jin. So when he really passed away,
You can also leave with peace of mind without worrying about the safety of your descendants.
Of course, the King of Jin has greater ambitions. If he can use this trip to Beijing to stimulate the relationship between the prince and Emperor Qianwen, he can even use the power of the prince to destroy Emperor Qianwen and send the prince to the emperor's seat in advance.
That would be the best thing. In this way, he can take the opportunity to seize the power of the auxiliary country. If he retreats, he can keep the power of the Jin army unchanged. If he advances, he can even replace the prince and become the emperor. At least the Li family will replace the Tang family.
It is not impossible to conquer the world.
The King of Jin knew very well that without the support of the crown prince, even if something happened to Emperor Qianwen, it would not be his turn to rule the world. The civil and military officials in the dynasty would not agree, and neither would the other vassal princes with military power.
Only the crown prince's ascendancy is the most legal, the most reasonable, and the most unreasonable thing. In the final analysis, the prince's support is very important. This is a matter of status.
The prince never thought that his uncle had so many thoughts. He only knew that this time it was because of his letter that his uncle came to Daliang City from Jinzhou. And his uncle was also willing to hand over the military power of the Jin army. What kind of trust was that?
He and his father, on the other hand, were unwilling to hand over the military power of the Silver Armored Guards, but were still spying on the Jin army's military power that he was about to obtain. This made things change, leading to the current embarrassing situation.
It was my fault that I believed in my father too much. Now I have nothing to say but to send my uncle away. As long as my uncle can return to Jinzhou safely and has the support of the King of Jin with 200,000 troops, my father will be fine.
If you are dissatisfied, you will not easily touch yourself. This is the way to solve the problem.
"Uncle, you are not in good health, so it is right for you to say farewell. After Xin'er returns, he will propose that all the ministers second the proposal, stir up public opinion, and force the father to agree to this move. In this way, uncle can return to the King of Jin to rest in peace and recuperate. In the future, he will
When Xin'er is here, he will also speak kindly to his uncle in court. If one day something unexpected happens to his uncle, your descendants will also have the right to inherit the throne of Jin Dynasty. What do you think?" The prince said completely.
King Jin said as if he was thinking about it.
The prince's words naturally made King Jin very happy. Isn't this exactly the result he wanted? He didn't expect to get what he wanted so quickly, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, my uncle is already aware of Xin'er's good intentions. I am confident.
Don't worry, as long as the Jin army is still in control of the Li family, they will definitely support Xin'er to the end. If Xin'er encounters any problems in the court in the future, he can also use the Jin army's name, and then the Jin army will use all its strength.
Cooperate with Xin'er's actions."
"Thank you, uncle." This is exactly what Tang Xin wanted. Now both parties have obtained the results they need. For a moment, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other and laugh. It seemed that they had reversed the situation and secured the position of the future emperor. Just like holding it in hand.
But they didn't even think about whether Emperor Qianwen would agree with their idea and whether he could allow King Jin to leave Daliang City.
Yan Fu returned to the Yangxin Hall and told everything he saw and heard, including everyone's reactions, and made a detailed report.
Emperor Qianwen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, listened quietly, tapping the dragon case with his fingers from time to time, as if he was thinking about something. Yan Fu did not stop reporting, but slowed down his speech and cooperated. Emperor Qianwen.
After Yan Fu finished his report, he stood aside respectfully and did not disturb him. After a while, Emperor Qianwen stopped his fingers, and when he looked at Yan Fu, he asked, " Are you saying that the Jin army did not give up resistance when they heard the imperial edict?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Although they put down their swords, they kept them where they could be taken at any time. It can be seen that they have always been vigilant and even rebellious." Yan Fu nodded.
"Hmph! It seems that they have forgotten that all their food and clothing are given by me. It seems that King Jin knows how to win people's hearts." Emperor Qianwen's eyes released a cold and sharp aura. The four princes of Jin belonged to In the state, management rights and taxation are autonomous. Even the promotion of officials is also autonomous. It only needs to be recorded in the Ministry of Personnel afterwards. It seems that with sufficient autonomy, there is no need to reach out to the court, but in fact What is the difference between all autonomy and a state within a state?
The army and officials enjoy full autonomy in the appointment of officials, so they don't have to look at the emperor's face at all. They only need to please the King of Jin to rise to the top. Now even the army needs to look at the face of the King of Jin. Over time, if it is a big If there is a danger on the border, can we point them to fight and protect the peace of the country?
Not to mention, even if we can talk through King Jin, how much price will we have to pay?
Even so, these soldiers would not listen to their emperor on the battlefield. At that time, not only did they need to be wary of foreigners, but even the so-called friendly forces also needed to send manpower to guard against them. When there is no war, everything It seems to be peaceful, but once a war breaks out, these will be unstable factors. If one of them is not done well, Daqian will enter a place of no return in an instant. Therefore, the problem of the Jin army must be solved. , otherwise it will be a serious disaster for the country.
Emperor Qianwen had already had his own idea to deal with the King of Jin, which was to keep him in Daliang City. As long as the King of Jin was in Daliang, the Jin army would do whatever they wanted to do, and Emperor Qianwen could use this to attack the Jin army. Strength, and finally achieve the goal of destroying them, or recruiting them to stabilize the situation of Daqian.
