"Senior brother, do you think Prince Jing is suitable?" Gu Chengyu asked tentatively.
"What do you think?" Yin Kun looked at Gu Chengyu seriously, and only then did Gu Chengyu realize that the other party had really included Prince Jing in his investigation.
"I'm not optimistic about him, but he is indeed very capable! Let's wait and see what happens in the future!"
Yin Kun glanced at Gu Chengyu. He opened his mouth, but then fell silent. He was different from Jin Yu. Jin Yu was brave and resourceful, and he didn't worry about the superiors not using him in an important way.
From Jin Yu's point of view, he didn't seem to intend to take sides now. However, how long could the emperor survive? The eldest prince was only eight years old, so he felt that he should not place his hopes on the eldest prince.
"Your Majesty! There is a letter over there!" An attendant entered the room and reported to Prince Jing who was leaning on the couch.
Prince Jing sat up slightly, and Xiao Chengzi, who was standing next to him, quickly stepped forward to give him a hand, "Your Majesty! Please be careful, the injuries on your body are still serious!"
The placket on Prince Jing's chest spread out, revealing the white tunic underneath. However, there was still a hint of red on his white tunic, which showed that the wound had opened up a little.
"No problem!" He only had to move a little, and the wound would immediately show signs of opening. He was not paying attention at the time and was attacked from behind. This time it was really a steal.
Originally, he had made a plan, and it would be no problem to deal with those people with his martial arts. After being hit by a sword, he wanted to retreat, but he didn't expect to be attacked by someone. He is really a despicable villain, and he resorted to such despicable tricks.
means.
But no matter what, the goal was finally achieved. But the price was a bit high, and he almost had to escape with his life. Sitting up while panting, Prince Jing read the letter carefully.
"Go and invite some gentlemen to discuss this matter!" Prince Jing clutched his chest. It was very difficult for him to speak now.
Xiao Chengzi glanced at Prince Jing worriedly. His prince was seriously injured and he started to deal with these things as soon as he woke up. He felt a little sorry for him.
"Gentlemen, the reason I invite you here this time is because news came from the capital that Wu had conspired to rebel and was executed by the emperor on the spot!" King Jing was also shocked when he saw the news. He didn't expect the third child to be so defeated.
quick.
"What?" Several people looked at each other, a little surprised. They didn't expect that Wu would be solved by the emperor so quickly.
"Your Majesty, we must speed up our pace. Once Wu is dead, the Emperor will definitely have his hands free to deal with you and Prince Gong in the next step. Now that Prince Gong is gaining momentum, he can still attract the Emperor's attention. But once the Emperor will kill Gong
The king has been dealt with, and we are next." Staff Tian Qi said, stroking his beard.
"But our foundation is shallow. Prince Gong has planned this for a long time, so we are naturally no better than him. I believe that we still have to recuperate our energy and accumulate strength secretly. When the emperor confronts Prince Gong, we can then intervene and act according to the opportunity.
.”
Tao Leyuan, the staff member, didn't think so much. He felt that it was not a good thing to be too public at this time.
Prince Jing rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Let's not discuss this matter for the time being. I invite you here because I have another matter to discuss."
"We robbed Prince Gong of a batch of armaments before, and you all know about this. This time, the spy arranged by Prince Gong sent news that Prince Gong had an underground weapons workshop in East China Mansion. It was just because of the previous
Prince Gong has just lost a batch of armaments, and I guess the weapons workshop is heavily guarded, so it may be difficult to take action."
King Jing has his own plan on what to do. In fact, the power he has now is not too small, but he is suffering from the lack of armaments.
After all, there was still no money! Time was running out, and he didn't want to argue with those aristocratic families. These people also spent a lot of money. If they were pushed into a hurry, they might even hold him back.
After tasting the sweetness once, he set his sights on Prince Gong. Anyway, Prince Gong was very wealthy, so he didn't have to be polite.
"But what we did before has made Prince Gong anxious. If we repeat the same trick again, I'm afraid Prince Gong won't buy it. What's more, he has suffered a loss. He will definitely be more cautious this time. How can he let us go and rob him? Again
Sir, my lord, is this news reliable? Could it be a trap?"
Tao Leyuan felt that this matter could not be done now, but he should not really push Prince Gong into a hurry. When Prince Gong and Prince Jing started fighting, wouldn't the emperor just sit back and reap the benefits?
"A trap? Mr. Tao may be overthinking it. If it is a trap, what benefits will Prince Gong get? We send people there, and even if they are all wiped out, we will only lose a small number of people."
Guo Jing, an aide, felt that Tao Leyuan was too cautious, which would not bring much benefit to Prince Gong.
"Who knows what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd? Don't underestimate Prince Gong. He can escape from the emperor's hands and capture two cities. Don't be careless!"
Tao Leyuan was a little unhappy. He felt that these people were too superficial.
"The information about this person is absolutely reliable. You don't need to argue." Prince Jing's tone was a little bad. He really wanted those armaments, but he was really afraid of pushing Prince Gong into a panic.
"I think it's better not to take action." Tao Leyuan has a long-term plan. At this time, angering Prince Gong is really not worth the gain.
Prince Jing turned his attention to the other people, "What do you think?"
Then these staff members were divided into two groups. One group believed that the opportunity was not to be missed, after all, they also urgently needed armaments. The other group believed that it was not a good time to start a dispute and should avoid the spotlight for the time being.
Prince Jing sighed. None of these people could speak to his heart. He couldn't help but think of Gu Chengyu. It had to be said that although Gu Chengyu's temperament was completely different from his, Gu Chengyu could always understand his thoughts without saying them out loud.
It’s hard to find a confidant!
"Now that the emperor has eliminated enlightenment, the pattern of the border gate will naturally change. Wasn't the emperor busy dealing with the third child during this period? Wasn't he not free before? This is why Prince Gong is so arrogant. Since the emperor wants to deal with Gong
King, why don’t we help him?”
"That's right! This is a very clever plan. If this news is revealed to the emperor, will the emperor still remain indifferent? Moreover, our prince is still pursuing righteousness! Prince Gong is attacking our Fengqing Mansion, and the prince should ask for help from the emperor! Prince Gong
It is a rebellion against the party, but our prince is different. He is loyal to the court, and the emperor cannot sit idly by and ignore it."
Tian Qi glanced at Prince Jing and couldn't help but admired, "Your Majesty is really very agile. This will not only make Prince Gong fall into trouble, but if we take advantage of the opportunity to strike again, we might even be able to profit from it. It's a brilliant plan!"
Even though everyone knew what the prince was thinking, they still didn't show off, right? As long as Prince Jing didn't take action against the court, the emperor couldn't do anything to the prince.
