In the main hall of Prince Shun's Mansion, the two parties met quickly. Compared with usual times, the eldest princess would dress up well wherever she appeared, giving people a very noble feeling. At this moment, her face turned pale and she was in low spirits. , seems to have aged several years.
The moment she saw Tang Jia in the main hall, the eldest princess said in a choked voice, "Your Highness, Prince Shun, the sudden death of the emperor brother is so strange. This matter must have been done by that thief Tang Qinghe. Please help, Your Highness." , calling on more people to come forward and rebel against him, to safeguard the orthodoxy of our Tang family."
The eldest princess, who had always followed Emperor Qianwen's lead, was more sad than anyone else after receiving the news of the emperor's sudden death. In her eyes, this was nothing less than a big event like the sky falling and the earth falling. If it weren't for the female official Zhuyun beside her, If Ku Ku stopped her, she might have committed suicide and followed Emperor Qianwen.
It wasn't until Zhuyun said something that the eldest princess gave up her pursuit of death and survival. "Master, if the late emperor is alive in heaven, he would not want him to follow him away. What the emperor wants to see more is for his master to turn the tide. , It takes a small person to achieve great things."
"Yes, yes, the emperor is watching me in the sky. I cannot let the emperor down." It seemed that she found the reason to live all of a sudden, and the eldest princess began to force herself to cheer up again. She left immediately She used all her manpower to investigate the situation in the outside world. In her opinion, not everyone wanted Tang Qinghe to be emperor.
The scattered people soon got the news that Lord Zuopushe Fan Shitong was wandering among the generals, seeming to be discussing some important matter.
"What a great Prince Qing, he is really a man." After the eldest princess learned the news, she became much more energetic. She didn't even need to ask, she guessed that when Fan Shitong contacted the people in Jiangmen, besides creating What else would Tang Qinghe do?
Finally, someone dared to stand up and become an enemy of Tang Qinghe, and the eldest princess was very relieved. She believed that the emperor's brother had a soul in heaven, and when she saw this scene, she should be very happy and happy. Even so, she should also She wanted to do something among them, so she thought of the Sixth Prince with whom she had recently become friends, so she decided to pay a visit to Prince Shun's Mansion to persuade Tang Jia to provide people and money.
Therefore, as soon as the eldest princess saw Tang Jia, she formally proposed raising troops to rebel. This also shocked Tang Jia. He didn't want to leave Daliang City, so he instinctively wanted to agree without waiting for him. When he opened his mouth, Kong Fu, who was standing beside him, spoke, "Your Highness, Princess, but I don't know who the so-called Tang orthodoxy refers to? Is it Prince Qing or our Prince Shun?"
Tang Jia, who originally wanted to scold Kong Fu for not talking too much, immediately shut his mouth after hearing this. This is also an issue that he is also very concerned about. If you do your best, you should be rewarded accordingly. Don't end up doing it for others. If you make a wedding dress, then the gain outweighs the loss.
This is the human heart. Even in such critical times, they still think about their own interests. Often, selfish villains like this will never achieve anything in the end.
Kong Fu's question made the eldest princess's expression calm down quickly. She just wanted to avenge the emperor's brother and maintain the orthodox status of the Tang family. As for who would be the new emperor, in her eyes, no matter It doesn't matter if it's Prince Qing or Prince Shun, as long as it's the blood of the imperial brother.
But looking at King Shun's current appearance, he obviously wants to compete for the throne, but doesn't he know that compared to his strength, King Shun is far inferior to King Qing?
The eldest princess couldn't make this decision, or even if she really said something to support King Shun, she couldn't say anything to King Tongqing. So what's the difference between making this promise or not? For a moment, she I actually felt speechless.
Looking at the silent eldest princess, Kong Fu sighed in his heart. Why did he want to ask King Shun to leave Daliang City, the royal capital of Daqian? But if he doesn't do this now, what can he do? What if You must stay. Even if you fully support Prince Qing and achieve your goal of overthrowing Tang Qinghe, does the throne really have something to do with Prince Shun? The result is that he will still be under house arrest. The so-called Prince Qing will be the emperor. What difference does it make if Tang Qinghe is the emperor?
The reason why a villain is a villain is that he only cares about his own interests and never cares about other people's feelings.
"Your Highness King Shun, Your Highness the Princess, please forgive me for talking too much. Once Tang Qinghe is really overthrown, will Prince Qing tolerate Prince Shun? I'm afraid that His Royal Highness Princess Princess will not be able to tolerate him either. After all, these two people have grown up over the years. The master has no connection with Prince Qing, let alone a good relationship. Even if Prince Qing would not do anything for the sake of family ties, there is no guarantee that Fan Shitong would do something detrimental to the two masters in order to secure the throne. come."
"Not to mention, it remains to be seen whether they can really overthrow Tang Qinghe. Even if they launched a brutal attack, and even the late emperor suffered at their hands, how could they not prevent us from rebelling against them? What? If a war breaks out, the result will most likely be that we lose. If that is the case, we may not even be given a chance to survive in the aftermath of the fall."
"Okay, doing things will be dangerous. In order to avenge the emperor brother, what if I die?" The eldest princess listened to Kong Fu's heart-wrenching words, and finally couldn't help but start to fight back.
As soon as he said these words, you can clearly see a flash of surprise on King Shun's face. The eldest princess has been surrounding Emperor Qianwen all her life, and she can sacrifice everything for this. But Tang Jia can't do it, he is a In the eyes of a selfish villain, family affection, friendship, and love are all things that can be discarded in the face of his own interests. The only difference is whether the benefits given by the other party are large enough.
Now, he would never do such a stupid thing if he had to risk his life for something that he didn't know the outcome of. At this moment, Tang Jia's mood was biased towards what Kong Fu said, to leave Daliang City first and save himself. Let’s talk about safety and freedom.
The change in Tang Jia's face did not escape Kong Fu's observation. He was happy with the arrival of the eldest princess, which helped King Shun make the decision to leave. So when he looked at the eldest princess, Kong Fu had a very good attitude. , "Your Highness, the eldest princess, it is naturally the duty of a minister and a son to avenge the late emperor. But now something happened suddenly. No one knows what happened. It is unreasonable to act rashly. It would be better to do so. Take a long-term approach and it is not too late to take action once the cause of the late Emperor's death is found out."
"Let's take a long-term view, Mr. Kong. What do you want to say? You might as well say it directly." Seeing that Tang Jia was silent for a long time and did not say a word, the eldest princess's face had become a little ugly. She finally understood. If you convince Kong Fu, don't think about convincing King Shun.
"Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is not an outsider. Since you ask, of course the younger one will say something. Our highness has decided to leave Daliang City first and then find out the truth of the matter. If it is confirmed that the death of the late emperor was caused by Tang Qinghe
If you do, I will call on the armies of all the states in the world to serve the king. In this way, the great enmity will definitely be avenged."
"Leave Daliang City? This...how can this be possible?" The eldest princess, who had never thought about this matter, looked puzzled. She had been born here, grown up here, and lived here since she was a child.
I have never left Daliang City, and I have never thought about where else to go after leaving Daliang City.
"Why not? The city is too chaotic now, and there is no distinction between us and the enemy. If we take action at this time, it is easy to hurt the good people and benefit the bad people. Even so, why not wait until things become clear before taking action. Besides, leave Daliang
City, it means that we have taken the initiative to jump out of this circle. Looking at the current situation as an outsider, we will definitely have a clearer view. Also, there is a good opportunity in front of the two masters. If they cannot seize it,
I’m afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life.”
"What opportunity?" This time, the eldest princess and Prince Shun asked each other at the same time.
Your Highness King Shun, Your Highness the Princess, do you still remember the decree issued by the late Emperor not long ago, to stop the continuous attack on Suzhou and call back the army. Now they should be heading towards Daliang City. If we can join them, there will be tens of thousands.
The army is all elite, and with military power in hand, if we want to fight back to Daliang City at that time, wouldn't it be just a matter of words?"
Kong Fu took out his trump card.
He had not mentioned these things to King Shun before because he was worried that he would not be able to use these troops for his own use in the name of King Shun. After all, Tang Jia was only seventeen years old now and was still a young boy in the eyes of many people.
But if the eldest princess helps, it will be completely different. In the past few years, the eldest princess has a group of die-hard loyalists in the court. With her help, she must be able to persuade the retreating army that attacked Suzhou to be used by her, and the success rate will be certain.
will increase greatly.
In troubled times, having an army in hand is the most important thing. In this way, you can advance, attack, retreat and defend.
Kong Fu's words made Tang Jia's eyes light up, and the eldest princess's expression also softened. Apparently she was also thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
Seeing that both of them wanted to be persuaded by him, Kong Fu added fuel to the fire and said: "Once there is a large army to help, King Shun can then send his army back to Daliang to avenge the late emperor. Her Royal Highness the Princess.
It is also a great achievement. In the future, when King Shun ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he will need the help of the eldest princess to govern the world."
The subtext of this sentence is that after King Shun becomes emperor, he will definitely give equal power to the eldest princess. On this point, the eldest princess, like Emperor Qianwen, is a person who likes power, which can be said to be in her heart.
King Shun heard the meaning of Kong Fu's words and knew it was time to express his position. He immediately said: "Yes, if I ever become emperor one day, I will definitely not forget the benefits of my aunt."
"This..." The eldest princess's idea finally wavered. One way is to settle the grudge now, but the success rate is very low. And even if it succeeds, she will not get any benefits. The other way is that there are many
She had a great chance of succeeding and gaining unimaginable power. She seemed to have the answer in her mind about what to do.
