That day, the starry sky was out of phase, and two stars rose up and directly hit the Purple Star. The Purple Star was slightly deflected and dimmed due to this collision.
"Government based on virtue is like the emperor's star. It stays in its place without moving, and the stars support it."
The shift of the emperor's star means turmoil, and being depressed means losing one's virtue. Soon after, Cao Yiyan took over the power of the country, and he felt in his heart that he had fulfilled the destiny.
The great Zheng must fall, and the great Wei must be established.
But these two stars made Cao Yiyan unable to let go for a long time.
"Who does the second star correspond to? Is it the acting king?"
Su Zi's status is really suspicious. Let alone the son of the former crown prince who was just recognized, even if he is the grandson raised by the emperor, who can rise so quickly?
Among the younger generation of kings, there are now only three princes and one county king. Among them, only Su Ziji is the grandson of the emperor, and the rest are princes. With such a terrible promotion, Su Ziji is even more powerful than he thought.
However, this is also in line with my understanding of the king. Now that King Lu has lost power and become King Ninghe, the situation in the capital has changed drastically. What should we do next?
If Dai Wang is the second star, is he my enemy or friend?
Cao Yiyan stood up and walked around the room. He quickly turned around and asked the middle-aged scribe who followed him and listened silently: "Mr. Zhong, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know the secrets of heaven, but I know a little bit about physiognomy. King Lu's pattern seems mediocre, but in fact he has deep luck. How could he lose so quickly? We need to find a chance to see."
The scribe Zhong Cui is not an outsider, but a descendant of the Wei Dynasty. It is said that it has been thirty years since the founding of the Zheng Dynasty, and it is now in a delicate stage.
In the past twenty years, all the old and young people left behind will die or become old and decrepit.
Now is the last batch of vitality.
The man whom Cao Yiyan had conquered before going to Yingguo was knowledgeable and knew some underhanded techniques, so he became one of Cao Yiyan's staff. This time when Cao Yiyan returned to Zhengguo, he also brought this person with him.
After listening to Zhong Cui's words, Cao Yiyan nodded and really wanted to see what King Ninghe was doing now.
Although he is now the leader of a country, as the leader of a small country, if he wants to conquer the world and restore the country and the country, he must not make a wrong move. If he makes a wrong move, all his previous efforts may be wasted.
Just when I wanted to speak, I heard footsteps, and then there was a knock on the door. I finally behaved myself, and shouted outside: "Master, it's urgent, it's urgent."
No one in the room spoke. Cao Yiyan immediately looked at Liu Da. Liu Da immediately understood, got up, opened the door and walked out.
"Asshole!" As soon as Liu Da went out, he scolded everyone outside: "Didn't I tell you that I wanted to catch up with my friends and not to disturb them? Are you deaf?"
The servant felt a little aggrieved and hurriedly whispered: "Master, although you just gave the order, you also gave the same order before. If Mr. Gui has any news, please don't delay and report it to you immediately..."
"Oh? He sent a message? What news?" Liu Da was startled, and immediately calmed down his anger and asked.
The servant replied: "The visitor told me that the king has just gone to Qianqi Lake to attend a cultural gathering with only two followers."
Qianqi Lake Cultural Club?
The King of Dai only took two people to attend incognito?
When Liu Da heard the news, his heart moved. He waved his servant down quickly, turned back quickly, closed the door, and reported to Cao Yiyan: "Your Majesty, just now the news came from Gui Junxi, the aide of King Ninghe, that the acting king Bailongyu
I just took my two followers and went to the cultural gathering at Qianqi Lake tonight. You see..."
"Gui Junxi? Do you know this person?" Cao Yiyan had heard this name before, and when he heard it again, he asked.
"Gui Junxi was originally the mastermind of King Lu, and many things are inseparable from him." Liu Da looked a little solemn. He explained to Cao Yiyan Gui Junxi's status in Prince Lu's palace and his current situation.
: "Although Mr. Gui seems to be wanted now, his connections in the capital are not small. Originally, I suspected that he was bluffing. Now it seems that King Lu, oh, now he is King Ninghe, does regard him as a bluff."
His confidants control a lot of hidden power."
With that said, he talked about Gui Junxi's several performances.
"You can't do so many things with nothing."
Cao Yiyan was thoughtful after hearing this.
How could the former King of Lu and the current King of Ninghe still have such potential power?
Although King Ninghe was one of the kings in the past, compared with the two kings of Qi and Shu, he seemed to be a transparent person with no movement. Such a low-key prince actually pretended to be a pig and eat the tiger?
But then I thought about it, as a descendant of the previous royal family, I was able to lie dormant and worship the Taoist as my teacher. I endured humiliation and heavy burdens in Dazheng for many years. It is not unimaginable that the prince of Dazheng dormant in order to fight for the heir.
King Ninghe has this power, although it is a bit out of line, it is acceptable.
Thinking about it, Cao Yiyan smiled and asked Zhong Cui casually: "Do you think the King of Qi and the King of Shu will take action if he knows about this?"
Zhong Cui said: "The king is joking again."
As he said that, his expression became solemn: "Of course not, it's not this far. There are always rules in fighting for heirs. If someone breaks the rules and alerts the Emperor Zheng Chao, he is afraid that whoever strikes first will be eliminated first."
"Moreover, the initiator has no consequences. Who wouldn't be afraid of someone who breaks the rules and is afraid of being immediately besieged?"
After hearing this, Cao Yiyan found out that the Wei Dynasty also had fights for heirs, and there were direct assassinations and bloody incidents, but the prince at the beginning was indeed immediately surrounded and suppressed by the kings, and he was the first to be eliminated.
Cao Yiyan stood in the small hall, thought for a moment and then smiled: "You are right, King Qilu and others will never be able to assassinate him, at least not at this time."
"Unless all the plans are revealed." Cao Yiyan smiled coldly when he said this: "But I am not the prince of the Zheng Dynasty. Only chaos can lead to victory."
Zhong Cui was startled and immediately said: "Yes, we are not from the Zheng State. The more chaotic the Zheng State, the better."
Cao Yiyan walked back and forth for two steps, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Are there any of our people on the Qianqi Lake Cultural Association's boat?"
The person who asked this question was Liu Da. Liu Da quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I will place some of our people in every major cultural association in the capital."
"However, there are no professional, top-notch assassins."
After all, hundreds of people in the literary society can all hear some news. If they can win over one or two moves for their use, they don't have to develop them into their own people. In fact, it would be very good to use them.
Infiltrating power into the Zheng Dynasty's court was what Cao Yiyan originally wanted to do, and Liu Da was an old man who had followed Cao Yiyan in the early days, and was not from Yingguo. Naturally, he hoped that his master could be restored successfully and restore the good fortune of the previous dynasty.
Rivers and mountains.
Cao Yiyan was very satisfied and nodded: "It doesn't matter if you are a top assassin, I just want to attack. I don't want to hurt anyone, just cause trouble."
"The assassination of the acting king in the capital will stir up a lot of trouble. It is best to make the emperor and princes who pretend to be Zheng suspicious and wary."
"Yes, then I will send an order to them to cause some trouble." Liu Da hurriedly bowed in response and was about to withdraw.
"Wait a minute." Cao Yiyan called out. Seeing Liu Da's surprise, he closed the folding fan and said, "This time I come, I also want to see the style of King Dai. Come on, let's go and see it too."
