The first thousand one hundred and thirty chapters
Before supervising the country, even if King Cheng discovered signs of rebellion in Dali, he would not be able to transfer all his energy to suppressing the rebellion at the risk of making wedding clothes for others.
But things are different now.
After concurrently assuming the position of supervising the country, the position of prince has become something in his pocket.
After becoming the crown prince, given the old emperor's current state, it would only be a matter of time before he ascended the throne as emperor.
The entire Dali was now regarded as his forbidden concubine by King Cheng.
Someone wanted to force meat into his bowl, how could he allow it?
King Cheng squinted his eyes and kept thinking in his mind.
Now that winter is approaching, Lao Wu is banned from the capital and cannot leave. Even if the expeditionary force does not retreat, it will not be able to continue the expedition.
Therefore, we can put aside the foreign affairs for a while.
Not only that, leaving those foreign missions in the capital can also delay time.
Only when people are in their positions can they plan their policies.
After taking on the role of supervising the country, King Cheng began to look at things from the perspective of the head of a country. The Northern Xinjiang Expeditionary Force, which was originally a thorn in the flesh, became a good weapon after Emperor Xin was banned from the capital.
chess pieces.
Before the negotiation is successful, as long as the expeditionary force stays in southern Xinjiang, the barbarians will not dare to easily harass the Dali border.
In this way, he would have the energy to concentrate on dealing with Dali's internal worries.
As for the cooperation between his companions in the Ryukyu mission?
There is only one world leader in the Ancient Moon Realm. Even though the two of them are in an alliance, since they are both in the same situation, they naturally have to consider themselves.
When there are common interests, two people will naturally choose to cooperate.
But if the interests are inconsistent, the two sides will not worry about external alliances and have any hesitation.
They are not the only ones who have descended from the Ancient Moon Realm. If they hesitate due to some entangled relationships, and the position of the Ancient Moon Realm's Realm Master falls into the hands of others, this will be difficult for both of them to accept.
of.
Rather than succeeding against other realm masters, they prefer that their allies succeed.
Therefore, the alliance between the two will give them more trust than others when working together, but it will not affect the status of each other's clones.
…
On the other side, King Cheng was considering how to suppress the rebellion in Dali and took the opportunity to eliminate some contenders for the position of Lord of the Ancient Moon Realm.
But in Prince Yu's palace, Di Xin was enjoying Xizi's massage.
The so-called plan cannot keep up with changes.
A few days ago, he entered Beijing in a high-profile manner, with the purpose of disrupting the muddy waters of the capital and creating an advantage for himself.
He was already prepared that no matter how low his position was, as long as officials came to visit him, he would receive them without distinction.
What I didn't expect was that the old emperor would reveal his identity the first time he entered the palace.
After forming an alliance, in order to prevent irritating King Cheng and causing unnecessary variables, the muddy water that was originally intended to be disturbed naturally had to be restored to calm.
But you can’t make it too obvious.
In this case, annoying the emperor and being grounded is an excellent reason.
What happened in the palace was quite a shock to Di Xin, so he only realized this after returning home.
After he returns to Beijing, the officials who come to visit him will only have a common purpose.
Place a bet.
However, after Di Xin made the emperor lively, those who acted according to the prevailing circumstances would naturally not be foolish again at this time.
Everyone in the capital didn't know that the reason why all King Yu's actions since leaving the capital were so smooth was because the old emperor blocked all obstacles for him in the capital.
But now, it’s okay for Prince Yu not to be grateful, but he actually dares to go against the emperor.
Although King Yu's advantage was still considerable, but having offended the old emperor, it seemed to everyone that there was no need to invest for the time being.
Therefore, before the old emperor forgave King Yu, these grassroots officials had no intention of placing bets on Emperor Xin's side.
Although it is possible to obtain greater benefits by providing help when times are critical, the risks are also high.
In comparison, although the icing on the cake has smaller returns, it is a sure-fire deal.
However, it cannot be said that no officials visited Di Xin during this period.
There are always people who like to place cold bets, and there are always people who have no choice.
Those officials who are like shaking their heads will not visit at this time, but these people will not care about this.
However, relatively speaking, there are still too few such people.
Therefore, in the past few days, in front of Prince Yu's Mansion, it can almost be described as a deserted place.
But after the old emperor decreed that King Cheng also served as supervisor of the country, even those people stopped visiting him.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old emperor has chosen his true successor.
If you place a bet with Yu Wang now, you are not gambling, but giving away.
In contrast, because Prince Cheng was never summoned, Prince Cheng's Mansion, which was somewhat deserted due to the influence, has returned to its former liveliness.
No, it's even more lively.
If you can leave some good impression on King Cheng before he is established as the crown prince, in the future, after King Cheng ascends the throne, not to mention his rapid rise, you can still get a lot of benefits.
Among them, those officials who had previously shown some alienation were the most attentive in their visits.
Compared to Fei Huang Tengda, they were less afraid of the future master of Dali settling their scores in the future.
What made these people relieved was that the congratulatory gifts sent to their doors were not returned, and King Cheng's attitude towards them was not much different from before.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Prince Cheng's Mansion and Prince Yu's Mansion, which are separated by a few streets, form a completely sharp contrast.
Among them, the only one who was not affected seemed to be the Eighth Prince Zhao Xiangqi.
Ever since his secret was exposed in front of Emperor Xin, he would come to Prince Yu's Mansion on time before Mao hour every day to receive training from Zeng Hongshen.
Even after the imperial edict came down that King Cheng also served as supervisor of the country, he was not late once.
It seemed that no matter what, he would only stand on Di Xin's side.
Even if Zhao Xiangqi didn't say anything about this, Di Xin could still see it.
With Zhao Xiangqi's financial resources, if he became king, he would naturally choose to welcome him.
However, because his mother-in-law was the daughter of a merchant, and his previous support for Northern Xinjiang, even if he assisted King Cheng in ascending the throne, he would not end well.
It is not impossible to even cross the river and destroy the bridge, or to die due to conspiracy.
The royal family has no family ties. For these brothers who also have the right to inherit, once they are identified as being in danger, no matter what they have done before, they will usher in the final reckoning.
The two of them have become grasshoppers on a rope.
For Zhao Xiangqi, instead of being duplicitous, it would be better to follow Di Xin all the way to the dark side.
