The strategy of the Tang family and King Duan against the Zhang family was very effective. The responsibility of guarding the festival fell from the left west gate guard to the right west gate guard.
The Zhang family has been keeping a low profile so far, and King Kang has fallen into such a situation. In the eyes of everyone, the Tang family and Prince Duan have some intention of bullying honest people. However, in the capital, the law of the jungle has always been unclarified. The officialdom is like a battlefield.
It is either the enemy's death or our own death. The fact is so cruel that no one will sympathize with the loser.
Even if the Zhang family has no intention of rebellion, Emperor Chen must beware of their rebellious intentions.
After leaving the palace, Emperor Chen's safety is no longer up to the Yulin Guards. The Zhang family has a close connection with Prince Kang. If Prince Kang turns against him, Emperor Chen will definitely not be able to bear the consequences.
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the unexpected. Taking precautions and nipping danger in the cradle is what he should do.
Thinking about it this way, his temporary change of generals is actually not difficult to understand.
The left and right gatekeepers often have conflicts and are not harmonious. If the left gatekeeper is in trouble, the right gatekeeper can definitely be trusted.
Emperor Chen had already considered this when arranging the sixteen guards. If the two guards guarding the same place were too close and turned against each other, a certain direction of the capital would be lost immediately. Therefore, the guards on the left and right would be
The guards are similar to the situation where the guards on the left and right of the West Gate have friction with each other.
Which bodyguard to choose as a guard for the festival is just a trivial matter, and the twists and turns that occur only make a small splash in the capital.
This round can be regarded as a small victory for the Tang family and King Duan. However, for the Tang family and King Duan, who have suffered repeated defeats and defeats in the past two years, although the victory is small, it is better than nothing.
…
"It's not that easy to completely destroy the Zhang family..." In Prince Duan's palace, Prince Duan, who had not stepped out of the palace for half a month, sighed. It seemed that the Zhang family had suffered a loss this time, but
If you think about it carefully, there is no big loss.
He took a long breath and said, "How great would it be if the Zhang family really rebelled?"
This time he asked people to spread rumors about the Zhang family's rebellion, but found no evidence. Instead, he cleared the Zhang family's suspicion and proved himself for the Zhang family.
If evidence of rebellion is really found in the Zhang family, the result will be different. Rebellion is a major crime against the Nine Clan, and King Kang will also be implicated. In this way, he will have one less opponent.
Next, as long as his father is eliminated within a year or half a year, it will not be King Run's turn to take the throne.
King Duan sighed leisurely, but unfortunately, imagination is beautiful, but reality always backfires...
…
In Prince Kang's palace, Prince Kang stood in the courtyard, with his back to a budding plum tree, murmuring: "Father still doesn't believe me..."
Mr. Xu said calmly: "Whether you believe it or not, isn't the result still the same?"
"Yes." King Kang smiled and said: "He has been suspicious all his life, how could he trust others easily? If he could trust others easily, he would have died in the hands of those imperial uncles back then, and
How could I be where I am today?”
Mr. Xu was silent for a while and asked: "Is that person trustworthy?"
King Kang nodded and said: "I'm afraid even my father has forgotten how much trouble he caused in the capital in order to fight for the throne. The whole family was affected, and he was the only one who died. Do you think
, will he be loyal to his father?"
Mr. Xu said: “It’s better to be careful.”
King Kang said: "Qi Yu has been helping me secretly for five years. If anything happens to me, he will not be able to escape his involvement. He will not do such a thing that seeks his own death."
Mr. Xu stopped talking and looked at him and said: "This matter must be done quickly. There are 100,000 imperial guards in the capital. If you want to succeed, you must control your majesty, hundreds of officials, and several princes in the shortest possible time."
, If not, when the rest of the guards react, if they haven't captured these people, they will be doomed..."
"I know." A smile appeared on King Kang's face and he said, "I have been waiting for this moment for a long time..."
Mr. Xu looked at him and said: "Your Highness, please give it some final thought. What you are going to do next is extremely dangerous and will not leave a good reputation in the history books."
"I don't care what future generations think of me." King Kang smiled and said, "Moreover, what I am doing now was not done by my father more than twenty years ago?"
"This is what my father taught me." He clenched his fists and said: "Relying on others, you can only be a prince at best, but relying on yourself, you can become an emperor!"
Mr. Xu glanced at him, then exited the main hall, walked through several long corridors, and came to a courtyard deep in the palace.
A young man closed the courtyard door, walked into the room, and asked, "Will King Kang kill Emperor Chen?"
"No." Mr. Xu shook his head and said, "He will not succeed."
The young man wondered: "Then what's the use of helping him for so long?"
"Everything you do has to pay a price, even if you are an emperor." Mr. Xu seemed not to be talking about rebellion, but a trivial matter. He said calmly: "A wife is separated from her children, and she is betrayed by her closest relatives.
This is one of the prices he has to pay."
…
Qi Mansion.
The Qi family is considered the most low-key among the sixteen generals.
This may be because the Qi family is very small, with no one except General Qi Yu, the right gate guard, and an old servant.
There are so many great generals in the capital, and there are many generals like General Qi who have fallen into decline and then risen again. The Xiao family is one of them, but this is the only family that has declined so far.
More than 20 years ago, the Qi family was involved in a dispute over the heir apparent. Afterwards, the entire Qi family was massacred, and Qi Yu was sentenced to exile. Later, because of his repeated meritorious service in the army, he was credited with rescuing the emperor during one of the emperor's personal expeditions.
Only then did we achieve our current status.
If the Zhang family had not been rumored to have rebellious intentions this time, and the responsibility of guarding the ceremony fell on Youximen Guards, few people in the capital would have thought of this Sixteenth Guards General.
General Qi was summoned to the palace today, and it was already night when he returned home.
He walked into Qi Mansion and was about to go back to his room to rest when his footsteps suddenly stopped and he looked towards the corner of the courtyard.
In the darkness, a figure stood there quietly.
The man stood in the darkness and couldn't see his face clearly, but Qi Yu could feel his gaze.
"King Kang wants to rebel?" Soon, a voice came from the darkness.
Qi Yu nodded and said: "King Kang wants to take advantage of this ceremony to kill all the princes and force His Majesty to give up the throne."
"It's a good plan." A moment later, the voice came again from the darkness.
The emperor's family affairs were beyond the control of his ministers. Many incidents of killing fathers to seize the throne and killing brothers to usurp the throne had happened in history. Although most people failed, those who succeeded also sat on the supreme throne as they wished.
s position.
If King Kang can achieve his goal, no one from the royal family in Beijing will be able to inherit the throne. At that time, he will be the emperor.
Of course, plotting to usurp the throne is not a good reputation. After he succeeds, the Chen State may be in chaos or even fall apart. But that is obviously not something that a person who wants to kill his brother and father would consider before taking the throne.
.
Qi Yu looked at him and said, "Would you like to inform Your Majesty?"
The man looked at him and said, "In this case, you will also be implicated."
Qi Yu smiled and said, "You gave me my life. I don't care about this anymore."
The man shook his head and said: "Your life is your own, and no one has the right to take it away."
Qi Yu looked calm and asked: "So, you want me to cooperate with King Kang in the rebellion?"
The man asked back, "Why not?"
Qi Yu looked at him for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty is really sad that your son wants to rebel against you..."
The figure in the darkness was silent for a long time before speaking again: "That's what he deserves..."
