The king of Shu has a cold language and an aggressive attitude, if the king of Qin does not admit his ambitions, he wants to completely empty the king of Qin and force him to withdraw from the kings and seize the throne.

The words fell, and in the study, King Qin looked surprised, angry in his heart, and angered by the aggressive attitude of the King of Shu.

King Wu watched coldly, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, he was also curious whether King Qin had the heart to seize the heir.

Since the King of Qin came of age, he has been in charge of military power for a long time, giving people the courage and no strategy, and he is outside the circle of kings who have taken the heir.

Chang Fengchun's demeanor was respectful, and he sighed secretly, the prince endured the hardships and stayed in the cold land of the northeast, all in preparation for the promotion of the ninety-five honor, at present, there are already three competitors of the prince, the king of Shu and the king of Chu, if the king of Qin admits his ambitions, Yang Yue wants to take the throne, and the difficulty will become very great.

Sensing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and when he was young, he said: "The Emperor Supreme, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, Qilang, don't you have it, don't you have it, Wulang, Chang Zhonglang, don't you have it?"

King Qin did not answer directly, but his words and attitude proved everything. However, King Qin's words made King Wu and Chang Fengchun sincerely afraid.

The supreme emperor is not coveted by ordinary people, not to mention violating the law, stealing the country will be punished, just seizing the throne is already full of blood and white bones, father and son cannibalism, brothers kill each other, and blood flows like a river.

King Wu couldn't do the open-mindedness of King Qi, stayed outside the court, wandered between the mountains and rivers, and wanted to seek a position in the court, so he secretly united with Yang Yue.

Hearing the sound, he strode forward and approached King Qin, bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Second brother, Qilang, I am self-aware, and I will never dare to peep into the emperor's respect, no matter who among the imperial brothers, who among the imperial brothers will succeed to the throne?" Be a free prince, and you will be satisfied."

Chang Fengchun knelt on his knees, his attitude was sincere, and he said loudly to the King of Qin and the King of Shu: "The two highnesses, the last general is the humble Lang general under the account of King Yan, even if he has ten thousand words of courage, he does not dare to peep into the emperor's position."

King Qin helped Chang Fengchun to get up, Yu Guang glanced at King Wu, and secretly chuckled, no matter what King Wu's attitude towards the throne, he was close to Yang Yue, as long as Yang Yue had the heart to win the throne, he would inevitably participate in the battle for the throne.

However, lobbied the king of Shu, tried to persuade the emperor, and promised to send sailors to attack the south of Silla, which was the top priority, and the king of Qin stared sideways at the king of Shu and said: "Qilang, you and I are united, and there are the kings of Chu and the kings of Wu, it is easy to persuade the emperor to send troops, no matter what great achievements the eldest brother has made in handling the government in the imperial court, and there is no joy that you and I have established meritorious deeds on the battlefield, only by controlling the male soldiers will we be invincible, and the matter of you and I being weakened will never happen again."

"Second brother, you have the heart to win the heir, we will inevitably become mortal enemies in the future." The King of Shu looked directly at the King of Qin with his eyes, and explained the final relationship between the two.

When the King of Qin heard this, he secretly sighed that the King of Shu wanted to take a good opportunity to give up the use of troops against Silla, so as to contain himself and prevent him from seizing military power.

When he didn't have time to speak, he only listened to the king of Shu and said: "Second brother, don't worry, the younger brother is not a short-sighted person, he knows which is more important, not to mention, the court has the prince in control, and the sixth brother in the border pass controls the male soldiers.

"Yes, no matter what, you and I can't go toe-to-toe at the moment!" King Qin said loudly, his handsome face was full of a thick smile.

King Wu, Chang Fengchun witnessed the King of Qin, and the King of Shu abandoned their previous suspicions, temporarily supported each other against the crown prince, and restrained Yang Yue.

Before he had time to think deeply, the king of Shu immediately proposed: "Second brother, if you want the imperial court to agree to send troops to Silla, you must first successfully lobby your father, and in this way, you must ensure that your father still agrees to send troops to Hedong, so we must drink all the officials of the main battle faction of the imperial court."

Hearing this, King Qin bowed his head and said: "It should be so, we must not let the prince, the Zhongshu Ling faction, gain the upper hand and influence the decision of the father."

At this time, King Wu, who had been speechless for a long time, stepped forward, approached King Shu of Qin, and said softly: "Second brother, Qilang, this matter is not easy for everyone to know, you should know that my father is extremely dissatisfied with Zhongshu Ling, and he still endures his nausea to let Zhongshu Ling walk around in the court.

Obviously, the father's actions are using the prestige of the Zhongshu Order to contain the left and right servants, so to persuade the father to agree to send troops to the Bohai Sea, the few people should persuade the father, otherwise, it is easy to give the father the impression that the kings are jointly forcing the palace, if things evolve to this extent, it will be very dangerous, and you are afraid that you will lose your military power again."

The kings of all dynasties cared most about the balance of forces in the court, and would not make any certain forces bigger and beyond their control.

In an instant, the King of Qin and the King of Shu looked directly at King Wu, and they felt like they were head-on.

What King Wu said is true, today, the King of Shu is reactivated, and leading troops to fight is the best example. The imperial court does need a balance of power on all sides.

"Gorou, you go and lobby your father!"

"Fifth brother, you go and lobby your father!"

The King of Qin and the King of Shu raised their hands in unison, pointed at King Wu, and said in unison.

This....

King Wu looked surprised, his face was a little worried, and he couldn't help but say: "Second brother, Qilang, I am dispensable in the eyes of my father, I am afraid it will be difficult to persuade my father!"

If you succeed, everyone will be happy, if you don't, you will miss the opportunity, and in the future, no matter who succeeds to the throne, if you have the ambition to conquer Silla, there will be no current opportunity.

Unexpectedly, King Qin said bluntly: "Wulang, it is precisely because your father does not want to see you that you propose to contain Silla, and by the way, explain the benefits of containing Silla, which will have a Daigo empowerment effect on your father, and will make your father look at you with admiration."

"That's right, fifth brother, you are a civil minister, not in charge of the army, do not control the government, even if the father knows that you are close to the sixth brother, you will not have too many concerns, the younger brother is different from the second brother, we are all generals, if the father knows that I am in the court, and the sixth brother secretly communicates with the emperor, it is easy for the father to form the impression of collusion between the courtiers and the border generals, this is a taboo for the generals." The King of Shu proposed.

King Wu agreed with the words of the two kings, but he was afraid that he would be led by them, and he had no time to speak, so he only listened to the king of Shu: "Fifth brother, the younger brother and the second brother need military merits, presumably the sixth brother will take the initiative to propose to the court to attack Silla when he sees the embarrassment of the younger brother and the second brother in the imperial court. Today, the younger brother hereby guarantees that if the younger brother inherits the throne in the future, he will definitely treat the fifth brother well!"

"That's right, Goro, only you can succeed in this matter." King Qin said: "If my brother regains control of the army, he will never forget you. In a word, don't forget each other!"

The matter has come to this point, regardless of whether King Wu agrees or not, he must go to the palace, otherwise, he will directly offend the King of Qin and the King of Shu, and he can't help but secretly complain about Yang Yue in his heart, and find trouble for himself.

He arched his hand and said: "Second brother, Qilang, you are waiting in the mansion, I will lead Chang Zhonglang into the palace, and strive to persuade my father, if you can't persuade your father, we will think about it in the long run."

King Wu did not hesitate, took Chang Fengchun straight out of the study, ordered the housekeeper to prepare the horse, and prepared to go to the palace.

Palace.

Yang Mingkun, under the service of Gao Heng, had just attached the decoction and walked in the imperial garden.

Slowly moving forward, Yang Mingkun said to Gao Heng in a calm tone: "This time, the King of Shu leads the army to fight, if he cooperates with the King of Yan, he will recover Hedong and Pinglu respectively, and let the King of Yan, the King of Shu is loved by hundreds of officials, and the main battle faction will clamor to recover Hexi, right?"

Gao Heng bowed down and followed behind Yang Mingkun, his demeanor was respectful, and he suddenly heard Yang Mingkun's words, and said after a moment of silence: "Your Majesty, if the two princes recover Hexi and Pinglu, they will definitely add a lot of color to the emperor's achievements."

As a eunuch, Gao Heng knew what to say and what not to say, and he didn't dare to talk about the government.

"This is true, but it is easier to remind people of King Yan and record this great achievement on King Yan's head!" Yang Mingkun Dao,

As he walked forward, he suddenly asked: "King Yan has managed the Andong Protectorate in an orderly manner, Gao Heng, do you know how King Yan is leading his troops to fight in the northeast?"

"Your Majesty, King Yan does not contact the imperial court, and the imperial court only asks about King Yan in the northeast, the matter of the conquest, there is no news yet, the villain is not clear, however, General Duanmu and King Yan cooperate to storm Pinglu, the current Duanmu General surprise attack on the Khitan and victory, King Yan is famous, I think there must be a greater victory." Gao Hengdao.

Hearing the sound, Yang Mingkun was silent and walked forward slowly.

King Yan fought in the northeast, if he won consecutive battles, although it was beneficial to the imperial court to constantly weaken the border troubles, it was also an indisputable fact that King Yan held a strong army.

In the future, no matter who among the princes inherits the throne, they will regard King Yan as a thorn in the flesh, if King Yan is dissatisfied with the panic and leads the troops to Chang'an, the court is afraid that it will be difficult to stop.

As a father, he does not believe that between kings, brothers kill each other, and as an emperor, he does not want to cause turmoil in the court because of the kings competing for the throne.

Why, meditating, there is no good plan in my heart.

When he was young, walking into the pavilion of the imperial garden, Yang Mingkun sat down, retired from the palace maids and eunuchs beside him, and asked Gao Heng: "Gao Heng, what do you think of King Yan, compared with the crown prince, who is more suitable to inherit the throne."

Suddenly hearing that the emperor asked, and about the crown prince, Gao Heng hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the court, the villain does not dare to speak falsely, the matter of the prince will affect the future of the Tang Dynasty, how can the villain dare to speak."

"It's okay, it's okay, there are only you and me today, but it's okay!" Yang Mingkun waved his hand and motioned for Gao Heng to speak bluntly.

At this time, Gao Heng looked cautious, stared at Yang Mingkun, and said, "Your Majesty, the left and right servants and many side generals all support His Royal Highness King Yan."

Gao Heng did not name and claimed who he supported, but his words had been cleared to express who he supported.

Yang Mingkun leaned on the bench in the pavilion, stared at Gao Heng and said: "I also know that King Yan is excellent, but the previous dynasties abolished the elder and the younger, it is easy to cause turmoil in the imperial court, and the previous dynasty Yang Guang killed his father and brother caused a bad impact, at present, King Yan controls the male soldiers, I am afraid that such a tragedy will happen in my lifetime."

Gao Heng didn't dare to express his position, so he could only bow down and stand quietly next to him, since ancient times, he has been accompanied by a tiger like a tiger, and the holy will is unpredictable, if he dares to speak falsely, he is afraid that he will be quietly cleared by the emperor.

When the atmosphere was calm, the eunuch not far away walked up, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, King Wu will take the Zhonglang general under the tent of King Yan and wait in the imperial garden."

King Wu?

King Yan's account under the Zhonglang general?

How did these two come together?

Isn't King Yan quietly entering Chang'an?

Yang Mingkun muttered to himself in his heart, guessing the relationship between King Wu and Yang Yue. Lang said: "King Xuanwu and the two come to the pavilion."

The eunuch didn't dare to hesitate and bowed back!

Yang Mingkun looked straight at him and asked, "Gao Heng, is King Wu and King Yan very close?"

"Your Majesty, King Wu has a close relationship with King Qi, King Yan has a close relationship with King Qin, in recent years, King Yan has been out of the capital for a long time, and rarely intersects with King Wu." Gao Heng report.

That's weird! Yang Mingkun muttered secretly,

Fortunately, King Wu held a vacant position in the imperial court and had some contact with Yang Yue, so there was no need to worry.

When he was young, King Wu and Chang Fengchun, under the leadership of the eunuchs, came to the pavilion, and the two sides bowed down to Yang Mingkun: "Erchen (the last general) knocks to see the father, and the father (emperor) is long live."

"Get up!" Yang Mingkun signaled, and immediately asked: "Wulang, what is the important matter of Liulang, do you not hesitate to send Zhonglang to Chang'an?"

In an instant, King Wu, often in the spring, couldn't help but feel cold, the emperor's tone was calm, but the content of his words was intimidating.

Not spare?

Could it be that the emperor wants to kill the officials sent by King Yan to Chang'an?

King Wu didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly reported Chang Fengchun's intention to come to Chang'an to Yang Mingkun as it was.

Knowing that Chang Fengchun was coming, Yang Mingkun couldn't help but say: "King Yan is so generous, he often takes out 100,000 taels of gold, Chang Fengchun seems that King Yan runs the Northeast more prosperous than Chang'an!"

Chang Fengchun felt the murderous and dissatisfied in the emperor's words, and explained with all his might: "Your Majesty, the northeast is bitterly cold, the prince has just gone to Dandong, the people's food problem has not been solved, there is not much grain, if there is some money and grain, it is also plundered from the Bohai Sea.

This time, the prince offered 100,000 taels of gold, hoping that the imperial court would contain Silla, and at that time, the money and grain plundered by the imperial court from Silla must have been far more than 100,000 taels of gold."

"Isn't it, isn't King Yan quite capable? Why, without the support of the imperial court, won't you even fight in the Northeast? Silla invaded, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to seek support from the imperial court." Yang Mingkun's yin and yang weird way, his qi is not like the emperor, but more like a jealous woman.

"Your Majesty, someone deliberately smeared the achievements of the prince in the northeast, and has now captured Huaiyuan Town, Liaohe City, and will soon sweep the entire territory of Pinglu, and the soldiers will be directed at Lerao, and finally border with the Turks, contain the Turks, so as not to happen again." Chang Fengchun's tone was still calm, and he didn't dare to be a little disrespectful, but the content of his words made Yang Mingkun unhappy, and he couldn't wait to send a guard staff to kill Chang Fengchun on the spot.

When he was angry, he heard Chang Fengchun continue: "Your Majesty, before the last general came to Chang'an on the front line, the prince specially told him that he must meet with the emperor, if the imperial court sends troops to attack Silla fiercely, or even annex Silla, the emperor will become a saint in the eyes of the world.

Therefore, the prince sent the last general to come at the risk of death, and he did not have any ill intentions towards the emperor or the court, on the contrary, he was dedicated to the country and the emperor."

Hearing this, Yang Mingkun's inner anger gradually disappeared, Chang Fengchun was right, he turned around for more than ten years, if he annexed Silla, his martial arts also had good political achievements, and he made up for his inner regrets.
