Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Second Prince’s Differences and Plans
In the capital, a luxurious mansion.
Beside the Taiye Pond, stood a young man in a python robe. He was wearing a large black cloak and was looking at the frozen Taiye Pond. He didn't know what he was thinking, with a hint of horror in his eyes. The coldness of people seems to be more chilling than this cold winter.
After a while, a man who looked like a young boy came over and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Second Highness, except Mr. Xu from the Ministry of Personnel, no one else accepted it. Those things were returned intact." "
The young man's hand in his warm sleeve unconsciously shook it. He did not turn around, but coldly replied, "I know!"
This person is none other than Chu Qian, the second prince of Dakang. Since Emperor Mingkang targeted him intentionally or unintentionally three years ago, his life in the court has become more and more difficult. Anyone who can serve as an official in the capital is not a human being. Jing, Chu Qian is being targeted, who among them can't see it? So until now, no one dares to join him, even the money-clearing method at the beginning doesn't work anymore.
In response to this, Chu Qian was helpless and hated Lin Ruhai, the culprit who caused this incident. Several of his brothers have now joined him one after another, but he, except for one of his staff, is the polished commander.
In the past few years, watching Lin Ruhai rise step by step, the hatred in his heart has skyrocketed. If it weren't for Lin Ruhai's revelation of Jiangnan's salt policy, he should be the most powerful prince in Dakang now. How could he It has fallen to the point where no one cares about it, and even his mother and concubine are left out in the palace.
Staring at the ice, Chu Gan's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent, "Mr. Lin, let's ride on the donkey and read the songbook, we'll see~"
After a while, an old man wearing a mink fur cloak came over. Looking at Chu Qian's sinister expression, he sighed slightly in his heart. This Second Highness was really unlucky and had a bad life! He was originally a master. Tianhudi started the game, but it ended up like this, allowing the following princes to catch up.
And that Zhen family, if you say you're going to take action, do it! At least be clean and tidy. Now they're bitten instead of beating the dog, and they've been caught. I don't know if they want to help or hold back, leading to the current situation. .
"Your Highness, the champion Hou Jiaqi will return to Beijing soon!"
When Chu Gan heard this, he fell silent. After a long time, he said bitterly: "Mr. Yuancai, is there any use in talking about this now? A world-famous champion will fall in love with a down-and-out prince. ?"
The old man's name was Zhao Yuancai, and he was a staff member hired by Chu Qian's mother clan, the Zhen family. He had been advising him over the years. Chu Qian's rapid development in the past few years was inseparable from Zhao Yuancai.
It was only three years ago that he was directly killed by Emperor Mingkang, and Zhao Yuancai's plan was useless.
Zhao Yuancai stroked his beard, came to Chu Qian's side, looked at the frozen Taiye Pond in front of him, and said softly: "Ran Ye~ But there is one thing, has His Highness ever thought about it?"
Chu Gan frowned. He didn't know why. He was most disgusted with such covert talk. If the other party hadn't been pushed over by his own mother and concubine, he would have driven him away long ago.
"Mr. Yuancai, speak directly if you have something to say~"
Zhao Yuancai didn't seem to hear the unhappiness in Chu Qian's heart, and continued: "It is a big event for the champion to return to Beijing. A champion who controls nine sides, a champion who has almost penetrated the entire northern border, and a champion who is in the capital. A champion who has a very high reputation in the army, do you think there are several other princes from the Twin Saints who will not hesitate to do so?"
A strange color flashed in Chu Qian's eyes. Since ancient times, it has been said that Jia Qi has such merit that he will be targeted by others. If he is the person sitting on the dragon throne, he will You will definitely not rest assured. Once Jia Qi has a different intention, it will be a disaster for Dakang.
Seeing that Chu Qian didn't reply, Zhao Yuancai didn't care. As long as he mentioned these things a little, he thought Chu Qian would be able to think of it. This kind of thing is not always like this in every dynasty. Once there is no war in the world, It's not just that the weapons are stored in the treasury and the horses are released in the south mountain, but the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden.
But then a strange look appeared on Zhao Yuancai's face, and he continued: "But our champion is different. Although the emperor gave him the right to control the nine sides, the people he brings with him every time he goes on an expedition are the same five. The Qianda Snow Dragon Riders never interfere in the military affairs of Jiubian, and they don't seem to be greedy for this power at all, which is very interesting!"
"Although those five thousand people are elites, after all, their number is small, even less than ten thousand, which weakens the emperor's suspicion of him to the greatest extent. A general with 800,000 troops will make everyone afraid, but there are only five thousand If you were a human being, the result would be quite different!"
Zhao Yuancai seemed to be very optimistic about Jia Qi's handling of things, and there was a lot of appreciation in his words.
...
Hearing this, Chu Qian, who was silent, suddenly said, "Sir, have you ever thought that Jia Qi, who only had 5,000 men at his disposal, could penetrate the northern border? If he had 100,000 men at his disposal, what would happen?" What will happen?”
Zhao Yuancai was shocked. He really had never thought about this situation! Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I can penetrate Dakang!"
Chu Gan sighed, "Yes! He is truly an unparalleled warrior!"
Zhao Yuancai was silent for a while and continued: "Unfortunately, what His Highness the Second Highness said is an assumption. Since Jia Chu went to war, he has never crossed that boundary once. At most, there were only 5,000 people~ And I also know one thing The thing is, we still have this kind of weapon in Dakang, called Pilizi. It has always been in the hands of the imperial court, or in the hands of the Holy Emperor. With this secret weapon, I guess the emperor will not deal with Jia Qi. !”
Chu Qian narrowed his eyes, and there was a strange cold light in his narrow eyes. He repeated the name of the weapon again, "Thunderbolt~"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Yuancai showed a bit of amazement, and his tone was full of praise, "Yes! This is the fundamental reason why I speculate that the emperor will not take action, a thunderbolt the size of a fist It can even blast a house into the sky. Jia Qi has too few people, which is why the two saints will not do it. If he has one hundred thousand soldiers in his hands now, the emperor will definitely not tolerate him, but five thousand people , both saints will not take it seriously!"
At this point, Zhao Yuancai paused slightly, "What we talked about just now was only the emperor's possible response. Next, let's talk about the princes. Second Highness, what do you think the other highnesses will do?"
Chu Qian almost didn't think about it before he replied, "Of course I've won over~"
Zhao Yuancai chuckled, his eyes sparkling, "That's right! Now we are almost certain that even if Jia Qi can choose, it will definitely not be us, so why don't we do it without stopping and block the path for others? , let Jia Qi choose no one~"
When Chu Gan heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly. The support of a champion prince is self-evident to every prince. After a while, he spoke again, "What should I do?"
Zhao Yuancai chuckled, "Since Jia Qi has made so many plans before and is probably a smart man, I guess his original intention is not to choose anyone, but in order to avoid any accidents, we can only send someone to reveal a little bit about the powerful relationship. , he must know what to do, but we can’t let him know that this person was sent by us to prevent trouble in the future~"
Chu Gan nodded, indicating that he understood, but there was a trace of uncontrollable desire burning in his eyes, and even Zhao Yuancai on the side did not notice it.
The bottomless water in the capital is going to make waves after all.
