The devil is coming

Chapter 701 The Marquis and the Prince
The big court meeting is over.
When Ji Chengjue returned to his palace, the first thing he did was to tease his children and make them cry successfully before handing them over to the mothers;
Then he snatched the hot goat milk from his younger son and walked to the yard while drinking it.
There is an armchair in the courtyard. Zheng Fan lay on it when he came to Beijing to live in his own home last year, and he has kept it ever since.
Ji Chengjue lay down on the armchair and shook the chair gently while drinking milk.
He didn't think about the scenes of the court meeting, he just wanted to relax himself.
At this time,
He Sisi and Ling Xiang walked over together.
Ji Chengjue raised his hand,
road;
"Let my husband be quiet."
At this time, he didn't want his two women to comfort him. Even though he understood that they wanted to share the pressure for him, he really didn't want to deal with it now;
He just wants to be quiet,
as well as,
Think of the one named Zheng.
He Sisi said, "The Marquis of Pingxi is here."
"call……"
Ji Chengjue was stunned for a moment.
Road:
"He must be sick!"
He can come before the big court meeting;
After the big court meeting, it was not suitable for him to come.
Because in the great court meeting, I won very thoroughly, and at the same time I also lost very completely.
The meaning of Emperor Yan’s protection of the crown prince was too obvious;
And this attitude of the elderly emperor is often almost equivalent to a fait accompli.
The Liuye Party will have most of their energy drained away today.
It's funny, isn't it?
He obviously led his team to a great victory, and he obviously defeated the opponent by attacking the city, but in the end, he still lost.
Because of this,
If I meet Ping Xihou again at this time,
What is this trying to do?
If you are not good at literature, are you good at martial arts?
It's not impossible, but when you don't have a single horoscope, why bother to alert the snake?
"Hey, I smell a sour smell from a long way away. Are you burning vinegar to get rid of the epidemic?"
Mr. Zheng, dressed in casual clothes, appeared in the yard.
Behind him stood Juggernaut and Xue San.
Zheng Fan knew the outcome of the Great Court Meeting.
He asked Siniang to disguise herself as himself, wear Xuanjia, ride Pixiu, continue to hold the Emperor's Sword, and serve as a mascot for the garrison in a city;
As for himself, he changed into casual clothes and sneaked into Ji Chengjue's mansion with Xue San leading the way and the Sword Master helping to avoid detection.
Because of the relationship between the emperor's eldest grandson, Ji Laoliu carried out a large-scale purge of his palace. It can be said that no one gave him face. In addition, there were many experts guarding the palace inside and outside the palace. Therefore, the palace, especially the back house, was actually very It's safe.
Emperor Yan acquiesced to this move at the beginning, probably because he wanted his eldest grandson to be safe.
"Prepare food."
Ji Chengjue immediately waved his two women down to prepare.
Lord Zheng also waved his hand behind him,
Juggernaut and Xue San walked out of the yard.
yard,
It suddenly became quiet.
Sitting on the armchair, Ji Chengjue's eyes suddenly turned red.
The lower jaw pulled outward slightly,
When people want to cry, they often like to use this action to suppress the tingling on the tip of their nose.
Lord Zheng walked up to him,
reach out,
Put it on Ji Chengjue's shoulder.
Just when Ji Chengjue was about to enjoy the encouragement and support, he found that he was being lifted to his feet.
"..." Ji Chengjue.
After all, Marquis Zheng is a sixth-grade peak martial artist. Usually standing with the Sword Master and the others, he is naturally a little finger, but in front of Ji Laoliu, he is a real strongman.
Ji Chengjue was moved away from his position.
Zheng Fan sat on the armchair and lay down.
The body lowered its center of gravity slightly, and the chair swayed back and forth.
Ji Chengjue, who was standing by the side, shrugged and asked:
"Is that all right?"
"What's wrong?"
"I am a prince after all, give me some face."
"At this time, your Sixth Master Party is probably about to lose their hearts. I can give you the greatest face by being here."
Ji Chengjue let out a long sigh, sat down on the ground next to him, and said:
"Too."
He, Zheng Fan, was the Marquis, so he didn't have to take sides, but he still came.
Thank you, Bala, for coming over. This is a kind of support and encouragement for you.
"Your methods are very high. It's a pity that I won't be able to enjoy the final highlight."
"Yes." Ji Laoliu also felt it was a pity.
"But in the end, we still lost. Do you know what this is called in war?"
"what?"
“On the battlefield, there are many examples of people who have been winning battles but were inexplicably unable to win or completely defeated because of the general trend.
Obviously, the general trend lies with the prince, not with you.
No matter how well we fight on local battlefields, it is useless even if we keep winning. "
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Also, the general trend does not lie with the prince, but with the father."
"Yes, the troops of the three-pronged Zhenbei Army, totaling [-] cavalry, have entered the capital. They are now stationed in three areas of the capital, forming horns with each other in the imperial palace.
Damn it, damn it, Your Majesty is not giving us a chance at all. Under the normal rules of the game, Your Majesty is the arbiter, but he obviously favors your opponent. "
In other words,
We can only try to do some experiments outside the rules.
To be honest, the difficulty of rebelling as a prince in the capital is actually much lower than rebelling in other parts of the country. At least, this is how Zheng Fan feels.
Because the capital is the heart of the empire, and the prince already has the appearance of a legal heir.
Hundreds of soldiers, plus the internal and external cooperation within the palace, can directly determine the situation.
But the problem is that such a majesty is here, but he is still able to control the situation firmly.
Within the capital, the emperor's will is still supreme.
"Xiao Liu, you are in the Forbidden Army, is there anyone there?"
"Have."
Ji Chengjue is very honest.
"If necessary, how many troops can be mobilized?"
"Given money and silk, granted an official position and made a wish, make sure it is hidden in advance, at most, one thousand."
"One thousand is not enough."
It is estimated that the [-] cavalry of the Zhenbei Army will be defeated after a single charge. When you rebel, your morale is not built for death, but has the property of collapse. If you encounter a slight setback, it will fall to the ground and disperse.
"Why is it so little?" Mr. Zheng said dissatisfied.
"It's quite a lot." Ji Chengjue raised his head and looked at the sky, "It was originally used to escort the family members out of the capital at critical moments. Leading them to rush to the palace gate... I wouldn't dare to do so even in my ten dreams. Dream about the possibility of success.”
"Don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged. If you think about the past days, you will feel that you should have been used to it."
"Zheng, do you call this a comforter? Who did I support the most before, and through whom did I want to gain military power? But who knew that person would reach the farthest east after his rise to prominence, could I count on me? "
"Forehead……"
"I need comfort right now."
"Why bother trying to comfort me now? I am here to ask you, Ji Laoliu, if there is anything you can do.
Is it true that as long as His Majesty is determined to protect the crown prince, you will have no chance at all, and you will not even have room to make a splash? "
"Do you want to be so direct?"
"I'm helping you, directly shattering your illusions, allowing you to pick up the lance of reality and pierce the bleak life in front of you."
"Ugh."
Ji Chengjue reached out and rubbed his face.
He would not be like this in front of his wives. No matter what situation he encountered, he would act like the head of the family. This was not to be arrogant, but because he knew that the "backbone" of the family could not fall or even tremble. It will cause panic among those living under the roof;
But in front of Zheng Fan, his body and emotional movements increased.
"Actually, I have been making arrangements a long time ago. There are a few captains and a few guards. They are not many. I slowly gathered them in the palace while my father was in the back garden.
You can't say that you are loyal to me, but at least you can have a chance to try it.
I just need to arrange their duties and let them be on duty on the same day. Then I will most likely be able to lead a group of people directly into the inner palace without any obstacles.
Not to mention how feasible it is, even if it does happen, there are so many experts from the secret service around my father. Even if I rush in with a hundred people, it would still be a dream to control my father instantly.
And as long as I can't control my father immediately, my few troops will be completely swallowed up by the troops who are still loyal to my father. "
"So, the problem still lies in the palace. As long as His Majesty is in the palace, we have no chance."
Here, the word "you" is not used, but "we".
The palace is the emperor's home. Even if the emperor has lived away from home for a long time in the back garden, when he comes back, he is still the supreme master here.
It is inconvenient for foreign ministers to clean up, but the eunuchs, palace maids, imperial guards, etc. in the palace can be arrested alternately without having to go to the outer court at all, which is extremely efficient.
"It's not just your Majesty, but also the prince. You have to win both of them at the same time." Zheng Fan reminded.
"Ah."
"So, is there still a chance?" Zheng Fan asked a similar question again and explained at the same time, "If you really have no hope, then I will go to the East Palace and have a temporary relationship with the prince."
"Is it so real?"
"I am also thinking about the future of Dayan. The local government and the central government must live in harmony. You should understand my difficulties."
"There is another chance." Ji Chengjue said.
"I don't want another civil war. Even if you try the same way as today's meeting and push the prince into a blind corner, in the end, your majesty will still win and lose again.
This is so boring. "
"Are you teaching me how to do something?" Ji Chengjue asked.
"Isn't it possible?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Zheng Fan, do you know what you are trying to persuade me to do?"
"Do what I've been urging you to do since we first met."
"But I have no choice now. You are the marquis who leads the troops to fight. You should see it more clearly than me. On the bright side, my father has not given me a chance at all!
You can't ask me to ask the Fourth Brother now to lead his subordinates to open the door for me, right?
If his fourth son really had the courage to do such a thing, why didn't he sit on that chair? "
"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, why are you making so much noise? Isn't it just a rebellion to force my father to abdicate? Didn't His Majesty say it at the court meeting today that he is willing to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his honour?"
Zheng Fan continued to rock in the armchair,
reminded;
"If you continue to break things, you will be disturbed by them."
Ji Chengjue took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly;
"Zheng Fan."
"Ok?"
"Remember what you promised me, my family is small."
"I am responsible for my character."
"And, one last chance." Ji Chengjue looked at Zheng Fan, "One last chance."
"Do you need my help?" Zheng Fan asked.
Ji Chengjue shook his head.
Zheng Fan immediately relaxed.
"Old Zheng."
"Ah."
"Tell me, have you ever thought that the words you said to me in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion five years ago, the words we discussed, would actually come true today."
"So you had doubts that it wouldn't come true? I've always been sure that one day it would happen."
"Is it because of your trust in me?"
"It's confidence." Zheng Fan pointed at his nose, "I have always believed in myself."
I haven't finished saying this yet.
The complete one should be,
I have always trusted my demon kings.
"Do you know that if I really become the emperor, the words you say to me now will leave a thorn in my heart."
"You, become the emperor first and then talk about it. Besides, it sounds like if I don't say anything, you will treat me as a loyal minister and good general.
In the way of a ruler and a minister, problems will arise sooner or later.
I am not the King of Jingnan, nor the King of Zhenbei. As a person, my first principle is to live a happy life. In the past, I had to kneel down, say nice things to those in power, and even have to suffer a little injustice. .
That's not because people who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. I just think that if I continue to climb up, there will be no need to be wronged anymore. I really can't bear to be wronged. "
"Actually, me too."
"When I praise myself, can you please stop getting involved? It would look very shameless."
Ji Chengjue tilted his head, stretched out his hand, and pinched his neck hard.
"I have always been fighting with my father."
"Look, you are putting yourself in a good position again. You have been abused by your father."
Ji Laoliu automatically blocked the taunts from Zheng Fan.
He continued, minding his own business;
"I plan to really fight with him this time."
said,
Ji Laoliu drew a circle on the soil with his finger.
"This is the capital, and you should have a deeper understanding than me. Even though you are the famous Marquis of Pingxi in Eastern Jin Dynasty, in the capital city, your own ability may not be as good as that of the Sword Master of Jin beside you.
But it happened to be like this. The situation was too small, and within a small space, you had to do hard work and you had to do fine work. Since you couldn't break through it with force, you had to use a needle to completely break through the situation. "
"It seems that you have a plan in mind."
"This is the only road left. You have to take it. In addition, it depends on you and big brother..."
"Huh? Didn't you say you don't need me?"
"It's not necessary beforehand. I have to rely on you to be more secure afterwards. I have done 99% of it. For the remaining step, you and eldest brother have to stand up for me."
"The weight between the two of us is not enough."
"Not many people know that the two princes are not in Beijing."
Ji Chengjue laughed as he spoke.
"The fox is pretending to be the tiger's power. It's only for fathers. Why can't it be used for sons?"
"You don't need to tell me specifically?"
"You and eldest brother, if you really want to stand up at that time, then stand up. The direction of the wind will be very clear. I will go in front first. If things don't go well, you have to take care of my little one.
It's going well,
It's gone,
Whatever you want to do, I will definitely help you.
As you said, you, Zheng Fan, don't like to be wronged the most in your life. I, Ji Chengjue, have not lived a smooth life for the past half of my life, but I also want my brother to live a smooth life. "
said,
Ji Chengjue put his hands on the ground behind him,
Look at Zheng Fan.
"Change your fucking posture." Zheng Fan scolded.
Ji Chengjue sat up straight again,
"Old Zheng, my father is not a good father, but I want to be a good father. My father is not a good brother, but I want to be a good brother."
"Generally speaking in advance will backfire." Zheng Fan reminded.
"Why do you look down on me, Yan Xiaoliu? I treat you as my brother, but I don't believe that you, Zheng Fan, are willing to chop me down in the future."
"We'll talk about the next thing later. You take care of yourself first. In addition, my third son will stay later to discuss the escape route for your family with the people in your house.
If you lose,
Those children of yours..."
"Same as Tiantian?"
"You think too much, be rich and safe."
Ji Chengjue nodded.
"Okay, I'm leaving first. I have to go back and take over my duties. If His Majesty suddenly summons me to the palace, my secret will be exposed."
Si Niang disguises herself as herself, and it can almost look real, because Si Niang knows and is familiar with herself very well.
But if you enter the palace, you can't get away by disguising yourself.
"Farewell to Lord Pingxi."
Ji Laoliu stood up and bowed.
Lord Zheng stopped and said,
turn around,
Salute to Ji Laoliu:
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two finally looked at each other and smiled.
Walk out of the palace,
The sword master asked: "Does he still have a chance?"
"Yes." Zheng Fan said firmly.
"So trust him?"
"Who are you talking about?"
"Are there two of them?" the sword master asked.
"Correct."
"Starting to be mysterious again."
"I always feel that things are not that simple."
"But the emperor is old. In today's situation, the prince's position is actually stable."
"Do you know when it will mean that the position of the prince is really stable?"
"When?"
"Your Majesty decrees that His Highness the Sixth Prince be given poisonous wine;
In his own life, he wants to accomplish what only a wise emperor can accomplish in three lifetimes.
How could he so easily keep the crown prince on the throne and leave a powerful brother in power?
I don't believe it. "
"Then Emperor Yan, what do you want to do?" The sword master looked at his sword, "Stop being so mysterious."
"I think the old emperor may not have had enough fun, or maybe he didn't have enough fun. In the last period of his life, he wanted to play a big game.
The two princes expressed this intention when they were in the roast duck restaurant.
Birds of a feather flock together,
Perhaps the one who really wants to make a big splash is His Majesty himself.
Do you know that the natives in the southwestern part of Qian Country are good at cultivating gu? "
"I know, I've seen it, I've killed it."
Lord Zheng smiled and nodded,
Road:
"No matter how you look at it, I feel that the way His Majesty trains the prince is very similar to raising Gu."
