The rise of the prince

Chapter 653
In the past, with Zhong Daoyu around, Yang Hongzhao was convinced that he was not as good as Zhong Daoyu in war.

But he had confidence and ambition, and wanted to serve the country. Afterwards, he took command for the first time, strategized, saw through the intentions of the rebels, and it seemed that he would win. However, when he came to the prince, he was in a mess in an instant, and his achievements were not completed.

Finally, he swung his troops to the north again, and saw that the striker took the Yanshan Mansion, and the victory was in sight. As a result, scum like Tong Guan and Yang Hu came out!In the end, he suffered a crushing defeat. His life and death are now uncertain, and his son died in battle in the city.

There are several such opportunities in a person's life, Yang Hongzhao has nothing to look forward to, and now he doesn't look forward to anything but revenge.

Let those rhetorical officials who confuse black and white, let those who talk nonsense and say that their son deserves to die pay the price!
So, he came outside the Prince's Mansion.

After another time, a servant from the Prince's Mansion finally came out, shook his head and said, "You'd better go back, the Prince will not see you."

Yang Hongzhao stared at him, so frightened that the servant took two steps back, he said coldly, "Tell the prince exactly what I said, and say that he doesn't want to die, so he will see me, if he doesn't see him, he will die!"

Such rebellious words frightened the servant, he stammered: "You you you"

"Go and tell the truth, otherwise you princes and dog horses will have a hard time!"

The servant was frightened by him, hesitated and went in.

If it were the past, he was the only cautious person in his life, and he would not dare to say such rebellious words anyway, but now he doesn't care anymore, life and death are already out of the question for him.

After waiting for a while, the servant came out and said that the prince invited him in.

Yang Hongzhao followed, passed through several pavilions, a small courtyard with beautiful gardens and rocks, walked through the corridor, and arrived at an open and bright courtyard with six doors. In front of it was a white jade screen with pictures of clouds and dragons.

"Your Highness is inside, you go in by yourself." The servant said and withdrew.

Yang Hongzhao strode forward and pushed open the door. The room was very dark, filled with the smell of corruption, and the smell of alcohol hit his face.

"Your Highness." He cupped his hands.

The prince looked at him viciously: "You curse me to death!"

Yang Hongzhao shook his head: "Your Highness thinks too much, the old man is just talking about facts. Think about it for yourself, Your Highness, is your means comparable to King Jin? Is your decision comparable to King Jin?"

"Of course it's comparable! What kind of evil is he!" The prince said angrily.

Yang Hongzhao walked over by himself, pulled a chair and sat down opposite the prince, "It's not comparable, it's far inferior, King Jin is smarter than His Highness, more decisive than His Highness, and more ruthless than His Highness.

Now that the emperor canonized him as the Prince of Jin, His Highness must have a good idea of ​​what will happen when he returns to Beijing.Do you think King Jin will spare your life then? "

"What are you talking about, I don't understand, I don't understand!" The prince seemed to be slowly reacting after hearing this, and shook his head in a panic.

Yang Hongzhao knew that he understood a little bit: "Your Highness, with the determination and ruthlessness of King Jin, he will not spare your life. Think about how many people he killed in the south and how many people in the north. Thousands of people. How many people are there? Has Your Highness seen it before?"

The prince rolled his eyes, the hand holding the wine glass was already trembling, and he just ignored him when he came in after it was completely gone
"It's easy for him to kill 10 people. How difficult does His Highness think it will be to kill a former prince who is out of power and has no power to fight back?" Yang Hongzhao continued to ask.

"You, you are talking nonsense, father, and father! Father will not let him do anything wrong!" The prince panicked.

Yang Hongzhao sneered, and reprimanded: "Your Highness is so childish! How long has it been since the emperor summoned you? Who confines you to the East Palace? Who sent you to Jiangzhou? And who sealed you when there was a prince in the East Palace?" Prince Jin!" Yang Hongzhao asked questions one after another, the crown prince was speechless.

"In the heart of the emperor, His Highness will never be as good as King Jin. If King Xiao hadn't died in battle, His Highness wouldn't have had the chance, but even so, the Emperor dragged it on and on, and finally established His Highness as a last resort. Have you forgotten!
So, does His Highness still think that the Emperor will protect you? "

The prince opened his mouth, his face turned pale, his fingers trembled, and he was completely panicked.

"Even if the emperor is guaranteed, the emperor is old now, how many years can he last? As long as Li Xingzhou takes over the reunification, His Highness will still die miserable!"

"How about that!" The prince stood up anxiously and said loudly.

"It's better to strike first!" Yang Hongzhao said without hesitation: "It's better to be one step ahead than to wait for death!"

The prince looked at him, his voice lowered, "You, you mean?"

"Before King Jin returns to Beijing, enter the palace, and then ascend the throne yourself." Yang Hongzhao said bluntly.

The prince was frightened and sat back.
Regarding the prince's reaction, Yang Hongzhao was not surprised. The prince is an ambitious but not courageous person.

He is different, has no ambitions, and has no fear. He just wants to do something, and he will do anything for it.

"Your Highness, don't be afraid, fear is tantamount to death!" Yang Hongzhao said sternly, "Besides, I can do this for you!"

The prince was already in a panic, and after a while, he came back to his senses and asked, "Why did you help me?"

"Because the old man is punished with death, and I have enmity in the court. If I don't help the prince, I will die, let alone take revenge. After His Highness ascends the throne, I would like to ask His Highness to pardon the old man and punish my enemy severely." Yang Hongzhao true and false half said.

The crown prince didn't know how to respond. Yang Hongzhao knew that he had no guts, so he continued to reduce the risk for him: "Your Highness, on August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, plus the great victory in the north, the emperor will hold a banquet for all the ministers in the Changchun Palace to celebrate the grand event. The precautions must be lax, and the old man will take the opportunity to lead the old troops of the imperial guards outside the city into the imperial city. At that time, His Highness only needs to find someone to quietly open the palace gate from the inner imperial city.

As for the future, if the matter is successful, His Highness will be invited to ascend the throne. If not, the old man will never recruit His Highness with the guarantee of his ancestors.Furthermore, His Royal Highness is doomed when King Jin comes back, and when he dies, His Highness might as well give it a go! "

Having said that, the prince finally nodded slightly, because it seemed like a very good deal to him.

The corner of Yang Hongzhao's mouth twitched, and he asked, "Your Highness has agreed."

The prince nodded again: "Okay, I promise, I promise."

Yang Hongzhao sternly said: "In that case, please Your Highness and the old man make a written document together, which is a covenant, and promises not to break the oath." When I think about it, I feel afraid and sell myself.

In the end, in the prince's mansion, the two secretly wrote the oath document, signed it, and each held a copy.

After doing this, the foolish prince finally recovered from the chaos just now, and his face also had a happy look. He repeatedly asked him not to leak it. Yang Hongzhao also smiled happily, put away the paperwork and carefully resigned.

The prince has the prince's abacus, and he has his own. Yang Hongzhao's eyes became fierce. In the camp of the forbidden army outside the city, the masters and warriors of the Shenwu and Wulie armies are all his cronies.
