Besides, Jia Ke felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat after leaving the palace. It was really dangerous just now. Unexpectedly, the emperor actually thought of abdicating the throne. It seems that the emperor has become somewhat powerless in government affairs recently. One is because his illness is too serious, and the other is
It was obvious that the third prince had the support of the civil servants of the court. Unexpectedly, the emperor had just dealt with some of the third prince's subordinates, and he had quickly won the hearts of the courtiers. The emperor was afraid that he would not end well in the future, so he retreated bravely.
His thoughts can be regarded as giving the third prince a title, so that he can appease the third prince. The third prince also understands the emperor's condition and will not be so anxious to deal with the emperor. He has monopolized power. This is the emperor's plan for Jia Ke.
Previous thoughts.
But just now I gave advice to the emperor, and I think the emperor already understood his strengths and weaknesses. From now on, I'm afraid he won't be willing to compromise with those civil servants anymore.
The third prince is a civil servant who controls the world. As long as the emperor and his own military power are in hand, they can't make any trouble.
And now that the emperor seems to have great trust in himself and entrusts him with important responsibilities, I am afraid that his trust in himself is not as heartfelt as he appears on the surface. If a minister completely believes in the emperor, then he is not far from death. Jia
Ke has watched so many TV series and history books in modern times on earth, but only saw one sentence in them - the most ruthless emperor's family.
A qualified emperor must be ruthless and righteous. Those emperors who were merciful and righteous were either cowardly or overthrown. History is written by the victors.
After Jia Ke returned to Wuyang Hou Mansion, he immediately ordered someone to invite Fan Kang to the house. This matter must be discussed with him.
Fan Kang came out of breath without a cup of tea. Since Jia Ke arrived in the capital, Fan Kang has served as Jia Ke's personal adviser, leading the overall situation for him. Fan Kang has lived up to Jia Ke's hopes for him.
, has been working hard to control the entire situation for Jia Ke, so that Jia Ke can distract the military aircraft.
This time Jia Ke met Fan Kang in the outer study room of Wuyang Hou Mansion.
"Lord, why are you calling me so urgently at this late hour?" Fan Kang knew that Jia Ke had summoned him so late, so something big must have happened.
As soon as Jia Ke saw Fan Kang coming in, he quickly pulled him to sit next to him.
"Sir, something big happened tonight. I'm afraid Chaogang will be shaken soon." Jia Ke calmly said to Fan Kang after sitting firmly.
After hearing Jia Ke's words, Fan Kang immediately interrupted and said, "Master, don't say anything, let me guess. Could it be that the Supreme Emperor is in poor health and wants to abdicate."
Jia Ke was shocked. He had just come back from the imperial city. The news must not have leaked out so quickly. Then this must have been guessed by Fan Kang. Since Fan Kang joined Jia Ke, he helped Jia Ke handle most of the government affairs, making Jia Ke
Able to get away from heavy tasks.
There is no doubt about his talent. The trivial matters around Jia Ke and the news about the military comings and goings are all under Fan Kang's control. This reminds Jia Ke of Xiao He on earth. If his talent is considered to be resourceful and resourceful, he can win thousands of miles.
No one else can compare with Zhang Liang, but in terms of contribution to Liu Bang, he ranks first.
Jia Ke thought that Fan Kang was as talented as Xiao He, but he didn't expect that he could guess the emperor's thoughts and the direction of the court at once. If it weren't for him and Zhang Liang's plan, he would be like Zhuge Liang, the perfect man of all times.
"Sir, the world is under your control." Jia Ke couldn't help but sigh.
"My lord, this is not difficult to guess. This is not the first time that news has spread that the emperor is seriously ill. I am afraid that the emperor has become increasingly unable to control the court during this period. Otherwise, such a major matter regarding the emperor's health would not be possible.
Everyone in the streets and alleys knows this. I am afraid that the emperor had to have this idea now." Fan Kang was not arrogant, but his opinion was calmly stated by Jia Ke.
"Sir, you are right. I just came back from the palace. The emperor has decided to abdicate the throne to the third prince."
"Then what's your response in the palace?"
Jia Ke smiled slightly and said with satisfaction: "I gave the emperor a few strategies. First, the emperor still controls the world's military power after abdication. Second, the appointment of officials above the third rank must be decided by the emperor. Third, military aircraft
He has the right to refute the new emperor’s imperial edict.”
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Fan Kang couldn't help but look at Jia Ke with admiration. He didn't expect that Jia Ke could immediately come up with three ways to deal with such an emergency situation in the palace. In this way, although the new emperor ascended the throne, he would not have the power of the world.
Still in the hands of the old emperor, Jia Ke is as stable as Mount Tai.
Little did he know that this was not Jia Ke's ingenuity, but Jia Ke's copying of the methods of the perfect old man on Earth.
Fan Kang thought for a while, then his expression changed, "My lord, this plan is very good, but I'm afraid in the end, neither the old emperor nor the new emperor can tolerate my lord."
Jia Ke seemed to have known it for a long time, "The flying birds are hiding their good bows, and the cunning rabbits are dead and being cooked by lackeys. This is the only way to rule in the world, so how can I be an exception?"
"Then what is the thought in my lord's heart?" Fan Kang looked at Jia Ke's calm face and knew that he had been prepared and would never sit back and wait for death.
Jia Ke stood up and walked to the window, looking at the dark night with a gloomy face, "The old emperor treated me well. The world must be at peace when he is alive."
Fan Kang immediately understood what Jia Ke meant, which was to endure it until the old emperor passed away. "Even so, the lord's current military strength in the two towns and the men in the capital may not be enough to rule the world."
"Who said I only have two towns of troops? Now the elite soldiers of the nine sides and the officials with more than a thousand households are almost all my personal soldiers. And nine out of ten generals are also under my control." Jia Ke still put it.
Some information was revealed to Fan Kang.
Fan Kang was really shocked when he heard this. It has only been more than a year since Jia Ke came to the capital, and he has already extended his tentacles to all sides. How is this possible? Even for some people, Jia Ke only came to the capital to report on their work.
, I met them as the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, how could I control all these people? Could it be that this is the backup left by Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong? If so, what are these two Dukes really thinking?
Profound.
"My lord, I have already controlled the nine sides. That is the best. Now my lord just needs to wait and see what happens and wait for the death of the Supreme Emperor. When the time comes, whether the Supreme Emperor takes action before his death or the new emperor suddenly attacks, my lord will be able to make famous moves."
, take advantage of the situation to control the government, and then as long as you slowly plan it, you will be able to spread your power all over the world within a year or two. By then the world will be settled." Fan Kang was completely excited at this time, he originally thought that he would help Jia Ke to the throne.
It had to go through a battle between dragons and tigers. I didn't expect that Jia Ke was so scheming. He controlled the elites of the world without a trace and solved the most difficult problem of winning the throne. The rest were just side effects.
"Then what do you think I should do now, sir?"
"My lord, just wait and see what happens and don't get involved. At this time, the old emperor has learned my lord's plan and will definitely use it to suppress the new emperor. As long as my lord responds from the side, the world should be peaceful in the next few years. My lord
It’s better to continue to cultivate power.”
"As you say, sir, let's just stand still. I want to see how far the third prince can make trouble." Jia Ke's mouth showed sarcasm. From ancient times to the present, he has never used force to seize power. This third prince won over the courtiers, but he
I forgot about myself as the person in charge of the military, and I didn’t know what hatred I had towards him.
And now is not the time to take measures. Think about it from all aspects, the attention on yourself has reached its peak. At this time, the slightest action may be known to others.
Besides, he doesn't need to take any action now. After the old emperor gets Jia Ke's plan, he will arrange everything properly and will not let his power be threatened in any way.
After Jia Ke sent Fan Kang away, he returned to Wuyang Hou's mansion and did not make any move. He stayed at home peacefully with Qin Keqing for a few days.
Although Jia Ke did not act rashly, there was an undercurrent in the capital. Now it seemed that everyone in the world knew that the emperor was going to abdicate, and that the object of the abdication was the third prince. It was not known who spread the news.
As a result, countless officials almost surrounded the third prince's residence. The third prince did not seem to get carried away now, but closed the door tightly and did not receive any outsiders, but this still could not stop the enthusiasm of these officials.
These people obviously couldn't see the third prince, so they found their own ways to establish relationships with various housekeepers and eunuchs in the third prince's house and went through the back door.
And these housekeepers and eunuchs are not as clever as the third prince. Although they are a little cautious when they see someone coming to give gifts, they are not so worried because they think that the third prince will soon rule the world. For those who come to give gifts, a
All of them were extremely arrogant, and the gifts they gave were too light or the officials were not of high enough rank, but they would not even see them.
Because of the methods of these minions, the officials who came to give gifts not only did not back down, but thought they had a way out, and pounced on them one by one. Some officials even lost their money to meet Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch-in-chief of the Third Prince's Mansion.
This scene had been clearly seen by the spies sent by Dai Quan who were hiding in the dark, so this information was continuously sent to the emperor's hands.
The old emperor is still resting in Kunning Palace. Now he rarely handles official affairs. All matters are left to Jia Ke. But this does not mean that the old emperor has given up control of the world.
The old emperor now reads the intelligence sent by Dai Quan every night, and then makes detailed instructions. If there is anything wrong with the Military Aircraft Department, he will also pass down an edict and let the Military Aircraft Department immediately modify it according to his wishes.
Now the emperor got information about the situation in the third prince's mansion. Although the third prince did not meet with these officials on the surface, in the emperor's opinion, it was just a cover-up.
Now that the emperor saw that so many officials were trying to curry favor with the third prince, he had forgotten about himself, the old emperor who was about to abdicate. How could he keep him from being angry? This deepened his fear of the third prince, so he firmly suppressed him.
The new emperor was determined to let the new emperor handle the government affairs for him during the period before his death, but not to allow the new emperor to have the opportunity to backfire on him.
The third prince and his counselors who secretly planned this scene originally wanted to take this opportunity to put pressure on the old emperor and tell him that the third prince is already popular and you should just hand over your power obediently. Don't listen to that prince.
Ke was struggling in Nahu, but he didn't expect that it would be self-defeating.
Although the third prince and his advisers had calculated everything, they had not calculated the emperor's character. How could an emperor who had been in charge of the world for decades hand over power to others so easily? The more they struggled like this, the emperor
His mind became more and more frightened, so why not desperately hold on to his rights?
