After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 165

Just when Shangguanjing and the others were "escorted" to leave Beijing, more than 200 miles northwest of the capital, King Huaiyang was working hard for his great cause.

It was the result of joint discussions between Huaiyang King and Wu Dinghou that the emperor was on his way to leave Beijing for autumn hunting.It is difficult for private soldiers to enter the city, but it is still possible to ambush the imperial driver on the way to the royal hunting ground. As long as they can bribe the Hongwuwei news battalion in charge of exploring the road, it is not difficult to do this, because General Hongwu It happened that there was something in the hands of King Huaiyang.

Over the years, he has devoted himself to paving the way for rebellion. King Huaiyang is not only busy raising private soldiers, he has also put a lot of effort into his courtiers.

A few days ago, Marquis Wu Ding found an excuse to leave the capital, and had already seen the most suitable ambush location in advance. He mobilized private soldiers to march every day and night, and set up an ambush in advance without anyone noticing.

On the first day of leaving Beijing on the fifth day of the lunar new year, Huaiyang Prince Xiao Jingyan and two partial generals around Wu Dinghou found an excuse to leave the team. They rushed to the ambush site, preparing to lead the army to ambush the imperial guards in charge of autumn hunting.

Everything was ready, and on the day of setting up camp on the seventh day of the lunar new year, King Huaiyang had a sleepless night.After years of keeping a low profile and carefully preparing, tomorrow is finally the end!King Huaiyang is still confident in the result of his years of painstaking planning.

He is confident, but not blindly arrogant.

King Huaiyang has always been a cautious person, and he only does what he is sure of. For this day, he has painstakingly prepared for more than ten years.First, slowly contact the courtiers, screen possible cooperation partners, and then collect and analyze various intelligence about the ministers.

King Huaiyang is confident that his intelligence network should be more efficient than the Xiaowei in the hands of the emperor.If he wanted, he could even know exactly what the courtiers put on the dinner table at home every day.It was also during the long-term monitoring and contact with the courtiers that he chose his most ideal partner-Shangguanyi, the extremely capable and shrewd Marquis of Wuding.

What satisfies him the most is that Marquis Wu Ding is not only capable and an excellent general, but he is also ambitious!Ambitious people, he likes best! !King Huaiyang believed that if he could make good use of Shangguanyi's ambition and give Shangguanyi a proper lure and reward, then Shangguanyi could be his sharpest sword when he was in trouble! !
As it turned out, he was right.Wu Dinghou soon became his staunchest follower.

Of course, even so, King Huaiyang didn't trust Wu Dinghou at first.He has always been cautious, and he doesn't think he can completely control the ambitious Wu Dinghou.It was precisely because of this that he decided to be in-laws with Marquis Wu Ding first.

It's just a pity that the shrewd Marquis Wu Ding refused to marry his beloved eldest daughter, but married a silly girl who was not favored. It can't compare to the status of the eldest daughter in the hearts of Wu Dinghou and his wife. As a hostage, it's still not meaningful.

The prince and the military general became in-laws, the emperor was worried, and began to monitor the two houses day and night. All this, the king of Huaiyang had thought of it a long time ago, he was very frank.He didn't trust Wu Dinghou very much at that time, so how could he really let Wu Dinghou participate in his plan?

Later events proved that fortunately he was cautious enough.Because Wu Dinghou, who was blinded by profit, planned to walk on two legs from the beginning, Wu Dinghou and his wife were reluctant to marry their eldest daughter into the Huaiyang Palace, because they were thinking about marrying their daughter to the prince.

What Wu Dinghou wants is power, and he doesn't care who he is loyal to.This person can be him, the emperor, or the future emperor of course.Letting her daughter be the future queen is a good plan!
So, should he give up Marquis Wu Ding who had promised to follow him?King Huaiyang was actually very hesitant about this.Although this person was not loyal to him, but out of interest considerations, he promised to be loyal to him, which is quite a bit of a mercenary villain style.But King Huaiyang was really reluctant to easily make up his mind to give up the cooperation with Wu Dinghou.

Because Marquis Wu Ding is not only outstanding in ability, he is very good at leading troops, but also he has been in the army for many years and has great influence. Such a perfect partner, King Huaiyang really can't find a second one in the court.

The other generals that King Huaiyang had contacted who were willing to follow him were either far less capable than Marquis Wu Ding, or lacked courage, and their influence in the army was far inferior to the popular Shangguan Yi.

Therefore, King Huaiyang thought about it and decided to cut off Wu Dinghou's retreat first.As long as loyalty to himself becomes the only choice for Marquis Wu Ding, then he is not afraid that Marquis Wu Ding will refuse to help him with his troubles.

Marquis Wu Ding wanted to be the emperor's father-in-law, so he carefully chose the fifth prince as his son-in-law, so he would make the fifth prince never have that position again.

He originally planned that after Marquis Wuding's eldest daughter got married, he would directly find a way to get rid of the fifth prince, once and for all, and cut off Marquis Wuding's other path forever.However, it is probably because his mediocre and incompetent emperor brother is exhausted, and even God is helping him.

Before he could do anything to the fifth prince, Wu Dinghou himself realized that the path of the fifth prince was really not his best choice.

Not to mention the faction of the Fifth Prince, the one in front of Marquis Wu Ding is Chen Chengxiang's family. What the Prince really respects is his elders, not Marquis Wu Ding, who treats him with arrogance.

It is only said that Marquis Wu Ding raised her up meticulously and placed high hopes on her eldest daughter, Shangguan Luan.This girl is indeed smart and talented, and she is also good at dancing.But she did not marry into an ordinary family, but into the palace. These advantages of hers are simply not worth mentioning to the five princes who grew up in the palace, and they are not outstanding to Empress Chen and the Queen Mother. The advantages.

Therefore, apart from the advantage of being the daughter of Wu Dinghou, the number one general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she also has the advantage of being beautiful, which can win the prince's heart.

King Huaiyang, who was also monitoring the palace and the prince's mansion, soon discovered that the relationship between the fifth prince and his wife was not very good.Although Shangguan Luan is beautiful, he does not have a good temper with the fifth prince. The fifth prince is reserved and cautious, but he happens to like cheerful and lively women.

And Shangguan Luan was educated by his mother to be dignified and dignified, and quite proud.She was absolutely unwilling to ask her to let go of her body to cater to her husband's preferences, so the couple were on the same page, but they didn't get along well in private.

Such Shangguan Luan would not have any influence over the Fifth Prince no matter what.Her preference for her natal family even caused empress Chen and the fifth prince to resent her.The king of Huaiyang thought that Marquis Wu Ding must have discovered all this, so he took the initiative to show his loyalty to him.

　---Here is the dividing line for honest and stupid authors--
　　Look at what I said, I didn't intend to hide my burden at all!Let me explain it to you now!

　　At first, King Huaiyang planned to kill the fifth prince to cut off Marquis Wu Ding's retreat, but later found out that he didn't need it!

　　Because of Shangguan Luan, the concubine, she did not meet Wu Dinghou's expectations at all.
