The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1289 Shen's Conspiracy

"Since Prince Jing robbed Prince Gong's horses and weapons last time, Prince Gong became angry and has been looking for trouble with Prince Jing these days. But they don't seem to plan to confront each other now, they are just making small troubles."

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, can you bear this?With so many armaments, the money needed is not a small amount. It seems that Prince Gong's family is very rich!
"Since they don't want to move, let's keep it going! Didn't you find out about Prince Gong's weapon shop? Tell Prince Jing the news."

He didn't believe that Prince Gong could bear it, he insisted on stirring up the anger of both families.

"But can Prince Jing still be fooled this time? Will he do it too obviously? He also knows that he has offended Prince Gong, and he won't get any good fruit himself!"

Mingyan hesitated, what if Prince Jing is not fooled?
"Knowing that I dug the hole, he will jump into it. No way, who told him to be poor? Those weapons and horses have given him a taste of the sweetness. How can he be willing to give up the meat to his mouth now?"

Prince Jing didn't have much foundation in the first place, although it would be risky to do so, but with such a great benefit, Prince Jing was willing to give up?

"Third uncle! How long are you going to wait?" Qin Yingyuan looked at Wu Wu who was sitting opposite, and asked eagerly.

She didn't understand. It was already confirmed that the emperor's uncle would not be able to get the antidote, so why didn't the third uncle do anything until now?The eldest uncle has already rebelled, but the third uncle has not moved yet.

"Rong Jia, why are you so restless? Wait a minute, the time has not yet come!" Wu Wu added a bowl of tea for Rong Jia, he could feel the urgency of Duke Qin's mansion, but he still felt that the time had not come yet.

The emperor just got poisoned not long ago, judging from the current physical condition, at least he can live for more than a year.During this period of time, he can make another arrangement.

After all, the border is not peaceful now, if he intervenes at this time, he will take over the mess.And Daxing will also take advantage of the vacancy, which is not good for him.

In addition, Prince Gong is now in high spirits after winning two cities in a row.The opponent's strength is strong, even if he really sits on the dragon chair, he probably won't sit for long.

So before weakening Prince Gong's power, the second child had to sit on the seat to protect him from the storm.

"Third Uncle, Rong Jia doesn't understand what you are waiting for? The war at the border has been temporarily pacified, and with Gu Chengyu here, there is no need to worry about it now. The most important thing now is the rapid expansion of Uncle's power. If he attacks Uncle Emperor, Let's take a step ahead, father doesn't have much chance of winning against him."

Qin Yingyuan frowned, even though they secretly recruited a lot of forces, they still couldn't compete with Prince Gong.This is because they miscalculated earlier, they didn't know that Prince Gong's power was so powerful.

It seems that relying on the emperor's favor, Prince Gong got a lot of benefits from it.Army, horses, food, weapons, which one does not need money?
"Daxing is only temporarily suppressed. They lost a lot in the previous battle, and they won't attack in a short time, but that doesn't mean they will give up. Just watch! In a few months, they will make a comeback."

"When you sit in that seat, are you still afraid that you won't be able to deal with Daxing? Third uncle, when did you become so timid? Now that the emperor's uncle is poisoned, the court has begun to form cliques for personal gain, and the officials headed by Shen Shikang are even more powerful. Great increase. If we don't take action again, when they become popular, after learning that the emperor's uncle has been poisoned, they may not become the ancestors of the Zhao family back then!"

Qin Yingyuan put down the tea bowl, what she said was not alarmist.There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world. Some time ago, the emperor's uncle lay in bed for several days and claimed that he had contracted a cold, but this could not stop the inquiries of those aristocratic families at all.

Even if there is no evidence, there are many rumors.What's more, since the emperor's uncle woke up, his complexion was much worse than before, and the courtiers couldn't help but speculate.

If these people knew that the emperor's uncle was going to die soon, they might have been accumulating strength in secret, waiting to overthrow the Zhao family, so as to learn the methods of the Zhao family's great ancestor back then.

After Wu Wu heard this, his expression became serious.Thinking about it carefully, Rong Jia's words are not unreasonable.

"What did you find?" Suddenly, he remembered that Rong Jia would say that, maybe he found some clues.

"A few days ago, the emperor's uncle sent people to the south of the Yangtze River to find the antidote. Although the matter was concealed, it still couldn't be hidden from the eyes of some aristocratic families. It's just that these aristocratic families are still secretly inquiring about the news, but they have heard about nine out of ten. But Isn't it doubtful that they kept their faces and didn't reveal it?"

Qin Yingyuan glanced at it, and then said: "Father has recently found out that there have been some changes in several aristocratic families in the capital. They secretly formed cliques, and even the generals were not spared. You also know that the honorable families in the capital are very sensitive to those generals. Don't you think it's abnormal that you're walking around all of a sudden?"

Comprehension pondered for a moment, "You mean they already knew the physical condition of the emperor, but they still pretended not to know it at all. They are still secretly accumulating strength, with the idea of ​​overthrowing the Zhao dynasty?"

Wu Wu feels that this statement is a bit exaggerated, maybe one or two big noble families in the capital would think so, but other aristocratic families would not, maybe they all have loyal people behind them!
How can it be so easy to overthrow a dynasty?Without military power in hand, without the assistance of virtuous ministers and generals, it's just a daydream, otherwise, wouldn't everyone be able to be an emperor?
But Duke Qin's concern is not unreasonable. The Shen family has indeed been in the limelight recently. If it is allowed to expand its power, the surname of Shen in this country may not be true one day!

"Although our preparations are not sufficient, we can still try to kill with a knife." Su Wu suddenly smiled, and thought of a good idea in an instant.

"Third Uncle might as well talk about it, but what great idea did you come up with?" Qin Yingyuan smiled slightly. She wanted to hear whether the method Third Uncle thought of was consistent with their Duke Qin's, so as to judge whether her father's choice was correct.

"Since Shen's ambition is so great, let's expose his ambition. Let's eradicate him in the name of Lord Qing, and take advantage of the chaos to kill the emperor."

Wu Wu made a gesture to wipe his neck, paused, and then said: "Isn't this justified? It also saves you from risking the world's dissatisfaction, being accused by thousands of people, and hindering the poor monk's reputation!"

"Third uncle's thoughts are the same as my father's. If this matter is well planned, it will be a clever plan that can kill multiple birds with one stone. The staff in the mansion have already listed a detailed plan. I never thought that third uncle could come up with such a good plan in such a short period of time. , Father was not mistaken."

Qin Yingyuan put on a bright smile on her face, and praised Wu Wu with a smile.
