Luck entry, starting from pretending to be a prince

Chapter 158 Fifth prince, another big game of chess (2400 2500 order plus update)
East Palace, study room.

The prince excitedly paced back and forth in the study.

On the corner of the mouth, there is an upward arc.

It seems to have encountered a big happy event.

As the prince of Wu, it is difficult for the prince to be so excited by ordinary things.

But today, there was a great joy.

Chen Qibo, a member of the Yulin Army, even took the initiative to show his favor to him.

"Mr. Dong, Chen Qibo hopes to help him ascend to the position of Wei Weiqing alone, do you think it is possible?"

The prince was both excited and worried.

Because of Wang Wenzhong's sudden death, Wei Weiqing's position was suspended.

Wei Weiqing, this position is not for ordinary people.

Generally speaking, there are two conditions for someone who can serve as Wei Weiqing.

One, he is the confidant of the emperor.

If he is not the emperor's confidant, how can the emperor rest assured that he will hand over the Imperial Forest Army to him.

Two, have prestige in the army.

The soldiers who can enter the Yulin Army are all carefully selected, and they are the strongest elites in the Wu Guojun.

It can be said that the Royal Forest Army is a group of arrogant soldiers.

If Wei Weiqing had no prestige in the army, he would not be able to command the Imperial Forest Army at all.

Forcibly serving as Wei Weiqing will only become a decoration, and the battalions of the Yulin Army under his command will listen to the instructions and not the announcement.

Therefore, the selection of Wei Weiqing is very harsh.

Basically, in order to select a qualified Wei Weiqing, the emperor needs years of planning.

First have your own confidantes, then cultivate your confidants, throw your confidants into the army, make contributions, and gradually build up your prestige.

In the end, he served as Wei Weiqing and took charge of the Yulin Army.

Wang Wenzhong became Wei Weiqing according to this method.

Unfortunately, Wang Wenzhong thought it was about the Guangling tragedy and was suddenly killed.

As a result, Emperor Xiaoyuan did not do a good job in training the next Wei Weiqing.

Wei Weiqing's candidate became a difficult problem for a while.

Mr. Dong cupped his hands and said respectfully to the prince.

"Your Highness, Wei Weiqing must choose. There are only three paths before His Majesty."

"One is to choose a confidant as Wei Weiqing, but among His Majesty's confidants, there is no one who has enough prestige in the army. Forcibly pushing a confidant to the throne of Wei Weiqing will only make the Imperial Forest Army a mess."

"I think this is the worst policy, and His Majesty will never choose this way."

Hearing Mr. Dong's judgment, the prince frowned and asked curiously.

"Why didn't Father choose this way?"

"Because the Yue Kingdom has been aggressively attacking recently."

"If the champion Hou can't stand it at the front line, maybe the Imperial Forest Army will go to support him."

"It is said that the imperial forest army is scattered and the battle is lost, then the sky is falling."

"Not only is Your Majesty not a faint king, but he is in the prime of life, and is very eager to make contributions and become a generation of Holy Lord."

"As long as His Majesty still has ambitions, he will not choose to push his confidants to the top."

Mr. Dong has a lot of speculation about Emperor Xiaoyuan's mentality.

Among them, there is one point that Mr. Dong has pondered the most.

That was Emperor Xiaoyuan's ambition.

Because of Emperor Xiaoyuan's abnormal supremacy, Emperor Xiaoyuan's ambition was extremely strong, and he was very eager to make some achievements and prove it to the world.

It was right for him to kill Prince Mingyan back then, because he was more suitable to be the emperor than Prince Mingyan.

For the emperor, the biggest attack is to expand the territory.

As long as Emperor Xiaoyuan wanted to prove that he was stronger than Prince Mingyan, he would never allow the Imperial Forest Army to lose their fighting power.

"What about the other two roads?" The prince continued to ask.

"Second, choose a highly respected person to parachute into the Imperial Forest Army. Those who have enough prestige to parachute into the Imperial Forest Army, and who can hold down these proud soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army, will only have two or three people in the entire Wu army."

"For example, Champion Hou, such as Willingbo..."

"However, as long as His Majesty is not ignorant, he will not choose Champion Hou, Willing Bo and others as Wei Weiqing."

"Champion Marquis and Willingbo are already in charge of an army, and their prestige is extremely high. If they are allowed to command the Imperial Forest Army, then their power will be too inflated."

"On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore."

"When the time comes, I'm afraid His Majesty won't even be able to sleep soundly!"

After hearing Mr. Dong's remarks, the prince was suddenly delayed, as if he had been opened up to the eight extraordinary meridians.

"Congratulations, sir."

"If it were Gu, Gu wouldn't do that."

"So, father can only choose one of the generals in the Royal Forest Army for promotion."

"Go and tell Chen Qibo, Gu agrees!"

"I will do my best to help him become Wei Weiqing."

The prince was very excited, and he clenched his fists in excitement.

It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make Wei Weiqing his own.

In normal times, there is absolutely no such possibility.

If Ji Tianci hadn't killed Wang Wenzhong, the current situation wouldn't have happened.

"Hahaha--"

"Old Five, this time is thanks to you!"

"If it weren't for you, Gu wouldn't have such an opportunity."

Seeing that the prince was full of ambition, Mr. Dong chose to stand up and pour cold water on the prince.

"Your Highness, now is not the time to be happy."

"I think that the current situation was deliberately created by the Fifth Prince."

Mr. Dong's words shocked the prince into a cold sweat.

"Five did it on purpose?"

"That's right!"

"Your Highness, why not think about it, among the generals in the Imperial Forest Army, who is most likely to become Wei Weiqing?" Mr. Dong asked solemnly.

The prince was lost in thought.

The pacing just now also stopped.

Of the several generals in the Royal Forest Army, who is the most promising?
In the prince's view, these generals all have opportunities, and the opportunities are similar.

After all, among these participating generals, none of them overwhelmed their opponents, and they all existed in the same way.

"I just think that all the generals are half-baked, and the big difference is not bad."

"Whoever can get more external support may become Wei Weiqing."

"Therefore, the possibilities of these generals are almost equal."

Mr. Dong nodded: "Excuse me, to be blunt, Your Highness's judgment is only half right."

"Which half is right?" The prince frowned slightly, wanting to hear Mr. Dong's opinion.

"The strength of these generals is indeed equal, and none of them can overwhelm their opponents."

"Who can stand out depends on the support of external forces."

"However, among the extremely participating generals, Wei Yanfeng has already stood out."

Mr. Dong's words immediately confused the prince.

"Wei Yanfeng, why did he delay coming out?"

"As far as I know, the Fifth Prince invented a weapon that is far superior to the God-breaking Crossbow, and it can greatly enhance the army's ability to attack cities and fortresses."

"And Wei Yanfeng colluded with the fifth prince early on. No accident, that kind of ordnance called cannon will definitely be given priority to Wei Yanfeng."

"With the power of the cannon, it is enough to help Wei Yanfeng stand out from the crowd."

Hearing Mr. Dong's words, the prince was stunned for a moment.

cannon?

what is this?
However, hearing Mr. Dong's evaluation of the cannon, which is far better than the God-breaking Crossbow, the prince still paid attention to it.

The God-breaking crossbow is the most important weapon of the army.

This thing called a cannon can actually outperform the God-breaking Crossbow, which shows its value.

"Then put pressure on Shaofu Temple and ask the craftsmen of Shaofu Temple to help Chen Qibo build the cannon. Under the same conditions, Chen Qibo may not lose to Wei Yanfeng."

The prince said nonchalantly.

Although Cheng Yishan retired and returned home.

But anyway, Shaofu Temple was also his site before.

So without Cheng Yishan, he still has a good influence in Shaofu Temple.

Giving priority to the cannon to Chen Qibo is nothing more than a trivial matter.

Mr. Dong sighed, he couldn't bear to hit the prince.

He knew in his heart that the cannon matter was not as easy as the prince said.

"Your Highness, you don't know something."

"The cannon was invented by the fifth prince, and the construction blueprint was also drawn by the fifth prince."

"Your Majesty issued a death order. Whoever builds the cannon first will be the Young Minister."

"What's the matter?"

The prince still frowned tightly, and he didn't hear the reason from Mr. Dong's words.

Mr. Dong took a deep breath and cupped his hands at the prince.

"The key point is that His Highness the Fifth Highness only provided the blueprint of the cannon to his confidant Wang Xuanfan."

"The other Tiangong masters don't know how to make cannons at all."

"Currently in the entire Shaofu Temple, only Wang Xuanfan can make cannons, how could Wang Xuanfan listen to your Highness' orders?"

When the prince heard this, his eyes widened in shock and his mouth opened wide.

The prince, who was still handsome just now, didn't take it seriously, his face turned blue with anger, and his whole body trembled.

"Five...you...shameless!"

"There are such shameless people in the world!"

"Father just sit back and watch the fifth child engage in these petty tricks? Randomly control the candidates for the young minister?"

Mr. Dong sighed in a low mood.

"This is His Majesty's acquiescence."

"The fifth prince has been plotting against His Highness since the assassination case."

"Use the assassination case first to overthrow Cheng Yishan and make the young minister vacant. Then use the construction of the cannon to push your own people to the top."

"Moving to Wang Wenzhong must not be a temporary idea, but a long-term calculation."

"The fifth prince probably already considered the current situation, and he grasped the timing very well."

"It's too early, the cannon hasn't been built yet, and Wei Yanfeng can't get enough advantages compared to other generals."

"It was too late, the cannon became popular, and all the generals and Wei Yanfeng stood on the same starting line."

"Only now, the cannon has just been built and has not yet been popularized. Whoever is easy-going and close to the fifth prince can get the cannon first."

"Fifth Prince, playing a big game of chess!"

At the end of speaking, Mr. Dong's eyes showed a hint of admiration.

Even as an opponent, he admired Ji Tianci's layout.

It's a chain.

The timing is too ingenious!
The prince's face was as gloomy as water, and he paced back and forth restlessly.

It seems that he wants to dispel the anxiety in his heart by pacing.

Ji Tianci's series of arrangements made the prince feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, as if he was facing an enemy.

Young Minister!
Wei Weiqing!
These are two Jiuqings!
If the positions of these two Jiuqings are all taken by the fifth child.

The power of the fifth child in the court is about to surpass his own.

How can this be accepted by the prince?
"Mr. Dong, shall we just sit back and watch Lao Wu cover the sky with one hand?" The prince asked anxiously.

Mr. Dong stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and said slowly.

"There is no way!"

"First of all, prince, you have to encourage other Tiangong masters to report the blueprints, and ask His Majesty to put pressure on the fifth prince to give the blueprints to other Tiangong masters."

"But even if we get the blueprint now, it's too late!"

The prince shook his head again and again.

Mr. Dong spoke in a leisurely manner.

"If the Tiangong master of Shaofu Temple is to build it, it will naturally be too late."

"But what if it's the great master of the Mohist school?"

"Forehead--"

The prince was taken aback by Mr. Dong's jumping thinking.

"Mr. Dong, you mean to invite the great master of the Mohist school to build the cannon."

"Yes."

"With the attainments of the great master of the Mohist school in mechanics, he will definitely be able to catch up with Wei Weiqing's selection."

"In this way, Chen Qibo and Wei Yanfeng are on the same starting line again."

"That's right!"

"That's it!"

"Mr. Dong, this plan is very clever!"

The prince clapped his hands excitedly.

As for the great master of the Mohist school after he built the cannon, how to arrange the great master of the Mohist school.

Mr. Dong didn't say anything, and the prince didn't take the initiative to mention it either.

Mohism is strong.

Mechanism is the focus of research in various countries.

It's a pity that the theory of the Mohist school conflicts too much with the imperial power and cannot be accepted by the royal families and nobles of all countries.

Therefore, for the prince, the Mo family is like a foot cloth.

Wipe it off when needed.

Throw it aside when you don't need it.

This kind of thing, the royal families of various countries, did not do less.

……

After the prince and Mr. Dong finalized the plan, the whole plan began to work.

The next day, the prince bribed several Tiangong masters to give a performance, and angrily accused Ji Tianci of perverting the law for personal gain, and only provided the large paper to Wang Xuanfan.

Faced with Emperor Xiaoyuan's inquiry, Ji Tianci had no choice but to hand over the large paper to several other Tiangong masters.

However, to Ji Tianci, this was just a trivial matter.

Ji Tianci estimated the progress, Wang Xuanfan's cannon was built in the past few days.

as predicted.

Three days later, Wang Xuanfan brought good news to Ji Tianci.

"Your Highness, I have already created a cannon!"

The disheveled Wang Xuanfan came to the Fifth Prince's Mansion to announce the good news to Ji Tianci without even taking a bath and changing clothes.

When Ji Tianci saw the finished product of the cannon, he couldn't help applauding.

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

Ji Tianci said three good words in succession, his face was full of joy and excitement.

The successful manufacture of the cannon meant that the position of Shao Fuqing had been taken by Wang Xuanfan.

Among the Nine Ministers, the Minister of Dali Temple and the Minister of the Shaofu are already his own.

The rest is Wei Weiqing.

The cannon is the biggest bargaining chip in Ji Tianci's hand, which is enough to change the situation of Wei Weiqing's competition.

the most important is.

The relationship between him and Wei Yanfeng, although there is usually contact.

But Wei Yanfeng has not made it clear that he is willing to be loyal to him.

Wei Yanfeng is waiting for the cannon, and Ji Tianci is also waiting for the cannon to be completed.

After the cannon was built, he could handle Wei Yanfeng.

He can't, Wei Yanfeng, a military fan, can withstand the power of cannons.

Wang Xuanfan took out the cannon and put it in the backyard.

The dark and thick gun body exudes a strong cold light.

One look will make people know that this is a murderous weapon.

Ji Tianci nodded and said to Wang Xuanfan.

"Xuanfan, after making the cannon, you still have to try to improve it."

"Your Highness, how do you want to improve?" Wang Xuanfan asked proactively. Although he already had ideas for improvement in his mind, he still wanted to ask Ji Tianci for his opinion.

Ji Tianci blurted out.

"Of course it is a big development."

"Big, is king!"

"Men just like big ones."

"Hey, not only men like big ones, women also like big ones!" Wang Xuanfan said winkingly.
