"Your Highness, are you sure you want to take action now?"
Emperor Mingkang had many princes, but at this time, not many of them still had the power to operate.
Among them, the second prince Chu Qian, the third prince Chu Ye, and the fifth prince Chu Xuan are considered the best among them.
Originally, the second prince was involved in the affairs of the Zhen family and was disliked by Emperor Ming Kang, so he was almost imprisoned.
But later, as time passed, this prince was also released.
Since then, he has been much more low-key, often making decisions before taking action. Gradually, many people gathered around him.
The third prince, Chu Ye, was gentle and generous, and treated people sincerely. Among all the princes, he gave the best impression.
Therefore, this prince won the support of most civil servants in the court. After all, a master who is easy to talk to is better than those lonely men who drag people out and beat them to death even if they can't say a word.
As for the last one, the fifth prince Chu Xuan, it makes people sigh when talking about it. He was originally the same mother as the third prince Chu Ye. The relationship between the two was very good, but something happened later, which caused the relationship between the two to break down. , and finally turned into the current situation.
This time, the person who spoke out was an aide to the Fifth Prince Chu Xuan.
Not long ago, the lame Taoist priest brought back a person, a person that everyone could not believe for a while.
King Dongping, the vassal king who launched a rebellion, did not expect that he would eventually fall into their hands.
They didn't know the lame old Taoist's plan, but at this time, if someone found out that King Dongping was with them, it would be a disaster.
No one will believe that this vassal king has nothing to do with them, unless they can take the head of King Dongping and go to the palace to meet the saint.
But how could that lame old man fulfill their wish, so now they are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but there is nothing they can do.
Chu Xuan shook the glass cup in his hand. The content in the cup was like blood, which looked a bit coquettish under the light. No one knew what the young prince was thinking.
"Of course, now that the war is over and the rebellion has been put down, I believe many people will relax their vigilance. Tonight must be a good day!!"
After hearing this explanation, the visitor stopped talking, shook his head, and withdrew in a hurry.
"Old fairy, I have already arranged the matter. If something goes wrong with what you promised me before, don't blame me for turning against you!!"
After a while, Chu Xuan spoke again, but this time, his tone contained a hint of threat.
In the room, a lame old man slowly walked out. He said in a hoarse voice: "Haha, don't worry, I won't let His Highness down."
Chu Xuan didn't move, but glanced at the other party from the corner of his eye. He raised his eyebrows and continued: "The Champion's Mansion is not a kind place. In the past few years, many experts have come to inquire about information, but they have all disappeared and never returned. .”
"This time the old god infiltrated with one person, and he had to ensure that he was alive and kicking before the imperial guards found him. This is not easy."
The lame old man smiled again.
"That place is indeed a dangerous place for ordinary people like you, but for the old Taoist, it is no different from the back mountain. Just like when the old Taoist comes to His Highness, the people outside find nothing?"
Chu Xuan's heart sank. The old Taoist's words seemed to answer his previous questions, but the words contained a serious warning.
Although he is still not sure whether the old Taoist priest can successfully sneak into the Champion Hou Mansion, hide King Dongping, and ensure that he is alive and kicking when the Imperial Guards arrive.
But when he came to his place, as he said, no one found out about the people he arranged outside. In other words, if the other party was unhappy and wanted to kill him, it wouldn't take much effort.
"That old bastard King Dongping is willing to cooperate with us?"
It stands to reason that King Dongping is also a mortal enemy of them, and now he plans to use his name to frame him. Can this ambitious lord agree?
The old Taoist priest stroked his goatee and smiled.
"His enemy has never been us, and it is not us who defeated him. The champion has a son-killing grudge against him. The Snow Dragon Rider crushed his ambition. Now he has nothing. If it were His Highness, he would be willing to do so at this time.
Are you waiting for death, or are you willing to drag your true enemy into the water??"
When Chu Xuan heard this, his eyes narrowed subconsciously. He had to say that the old Taoist priest in front of him was a master at manipulating people's hearts.
In a different place, if he were King Dongping, at this moment, he might, no, I should say he would definitely agree to the suggestion of the old Taoist priest in front of him.
During this period, he gradually gained the trust of King Dongping, which was also done deliberately by this person. If he, the prince, or anyone else was asked to be a lobbyist for this matter, it is estimated that the vassal king would not agree. After all, he could become
A prince cannot figure out their intentions.
"What a trick the old god has!"
The lame old Taoist slapped his head and said, "Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
Chu Xuan was silent for a moment and then asked again: "Old immortal, King Dongping and Jia Chu originally had a life-and-death feud. Now they are talking empty-handed and unfounded. I'm afraid those people in the court won't believe it, right?"
The old Taoist priest plans to fabricate a charge of liaison with foreign enemies and intent to rebel against the champion Houfu. When the time comes, Chu Xuan will report it, and then the Imperial Forest Army will investigate the person. By then, both the people and the stolen goods will be obtained. King Dongping will bite back and it will be confirmed.
thing.
However, Chu Xuan was right to remind him at this moment. As for the relationship between King Dongping and Jia Qi, it would be difficult for people to believe that the relationship between Prince Dongping and Jia Chu was true. After all, those in the court were not fools.
The old Taoist priest was silent for a while.
"Your Highness, many times, is it really that important whether things are true or false??"
Chu Xuan was stunned and let out a light sigh.
"Why did the old god teach me?"
"In the past few years since the champion returned to Beijing, he has acted domineeringly and offended many people overtly and covertly. You must know this better than me, an outsider. Now that you have such an opportunity, how many people will believe it when the time comes?
Is this prince innocent?"
"Besides, this kind of person has disappeared for almost half a year, and we don't know whether he is alive or dead. If he were still here, it would be impossible to implement our plan. But the reality is that this world-famous Marquis is no longer there.
"
"I believe that not only His Highness has opinions on the Champion House, but even His Highness's two brothers may also have opinions on the Champion House. You know, when a wall falls, everyone will push it, and if it breaks the drum, thousands of people will beat it."
Hearing this, Chu Xuan's eyes began to flash crazily, because the old Taoist priest once again hit the mark.
"Has the old god considered my father's opinion??"
After saying this, Chu Xuan asked the last and most critical question.
The old Taoist priest chuckled and then uttered three words.
