Chapter 376

"Your Highness is really confused," King Changjun picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip of tea before saying, "The eldest princess is going to the southwest. She has a narrow escape from death. The southwest is full of miasma. The eldest princess has a delicate body. Be careful of getting sick; there are many vicious bandits in the mountains of [-] miles. The eldest princess was attacked by bandits while passing by a certain mountain. Yun Zhongguo refused to negotiate with the Southern Dynasty and wanted to arrest the eldest princess and threaten the southern dynasty, but the eldest princess refused to die... We just fish in troubled waters and we won’t be implicated.”

"Uncle Prince is still thoughtful."

As soon as Jiang Jingzhang heard this, he knew that King Changjun had made many arrangements. The southwest was not as good as Hangzhou, and there was no garrison for her to mobilize. I wonder if the eldest princess would be so lucky.

He sneered again and again in his heart, changed the topic again, and said with an expression of embarrassment: "It's just that the clan members in the clan have always followed His Majesty's lead, so how can I be sure that the county prince will be able to convince them to stand up and support His Majesty in establishing a heir apparent?" ?”

The queen's mother has lost her virtue and there is no possibility of her recovery. Your Majesty did not abolish the queen because your Majesty is old and the heir to the throne is undecided. The current situation is turbulent and the country is unstable.

Many ministers in the court who supported the establishment of the direct line had long been inseparable from their interests and honors as King An. At this time, the ministers who supported the establishment of the direct line after deposing the direct line were bound to cause trouble.

He, the legitimate prince, has long ceased to exist in name only.

Only after the Taiwei Mansion has eliminated the troubles in Nanyue and Jiang Fuguang has matured his wings, His Majesty's edict of deposing him will be issued. When he changes from a direct descendant to a concubine, the clan may not support him.

Without the support of the imperial family, the ministers of the DPRK and China cannot influence His Majesty's decision for the time being.

"Today is different from the past," Prince Chang Jun sneered as if he knew what he was thinking, "The eldest princess has trapped herself in a cocoon and strongly advocated the promotion of commercial salt and strict investigation of illegal salt. This not only harmed the interests of the clan members, but also caused many clans to suffer All of my relatives have been sent to prison, even the respected old clan Qinduan County King was not spared."

Prince Duanjun, your ancestor was the nephew of Nan Taizu, and he made countless contributions to the Southern Dynasty. He has been standing since the founding of the Southern Dynasty, and your Majesty actually has no sympathy at all. If we say to arrest people, we will arrest them; if we say to arrest people, we will strictly investigate them; if we say to interrogate, we will interrogate them.

"No one knows whether he will become the next Duke Duan. The dissatisfaction with the eldest princess in the clan is getting worse day by day. It is because of the impending war that Yun Zhongguo is also restless, so he suppresses the dissatisfaction in his heart. , but this dissatisfaction will only get deeper and deeper as time goes by.”

Even if His Majesty prevents the eldest princess from getting involved in personal affairs and tries to avoid direct conflicts between her and the clan members, in order to avoid the eldest princess's involvement in what happened at the previous birthday banquet, His Majesty took the initiative to calm down the matter and treat him leniently, but the clan You guys are not fools either.

"Looking at the things that the eldest princess has done since she came to serve as regent and supervise the country, all of them are harmful to the clan. In order to protect their own status, the clan will not just watch the eldest princess take control of the court."

"Your Highness, please rest assured. I have secretly contacted many old clan members who are in power and persuaded them to support the establishment of His Highness as Crown Prince. As long as His Highness promises to treat the clan members favorably after the event is completed, the clan members will do their best regardless of His Highness's status." support."

Will it still matter if we are legitimate or not?

Instead of living in fear under the hands of the eldest princess, there is no telling when disaster will come.

It would be better to take the initiative and stand up to support King An in taking power. With their ability to follow the dragon, they can at least ensure prosperity for three more generations.

"Uncle Prince Wang has worked hard for his nephew, worked hard in planning, and treated his nephew with sincere love and care. My nephew is deeply touched and cannot express it in words."

Jiang Jingzhang tried his best to remain calm, but the vibrations in his eyes revealed the fanatical emotions in his heart.

"Uncle Prince, please bow to your nephew." He stood up and bowed deeply to Prince Chang. "Uncle Prince, please rest assured. My nephew is not an ungrateful person. Uncle Prince has treated my nephew for so many years." My nephew will definitely be worthy of your help and support." He acted like this, but he was thinking about Ye Mingwan's words!
——King Changjun cannot win over the eldest princess, so his desire to support His Highness will become stronger. Prince Chang places great importance on power and profit, and saves face. Your Highness just needs to lower his profile and be humble in front of Prince Chang. Very respectful.Let Prince Chang see clearly that your maternal family has collapsed and your mother has entered Shuiyue Nunnery. Now you have no power to rely on. The only person you can rely on is his uncle, the Prince. He will try his best to plan for you.

Seeing his respectful attitude, Prince Chang felt very grateful, but he had a shocked expression on his face. When he was done with the courtesy, he seemed to suddenly react, and quickly stood up to hold Jiang Jingzhang's hands, which were bowing. Flattered attitude.

"You and my uncle and nephew have always had a deep relationship for many years. Why should we do this as a great gift?" Prince Chang quickly lifted him up and said, "Get up quickly, get up quickly."

Jiang Jingzhang stood up and expressed the biggest worry in his heart: "The Taiwei Mansion has a lot of troops. If the trouble in South Vietnam is eliminated this time, it will definitely have a great reputation and no one can compete with it. If General Qi advocates abolishing the direct line and establishing a concubine, the court will I’m afraid no one in China would dare to object.”

When General Qi brought order to the chaos and supported His Majesty on the throne, he had demonstrated the power of the Qi family.

"So what?" Prince Chang sneered, "When the war is over, the eldest princess is dead, Your Highness has become the concubine, and everything is a foregone conclusion, what kind of trouble can there be in the Taiwei Mansion?"

Jiang Jingzhang frowned, obviously he still had concerns.

"The Taiwei Mansion is weak and weak. This time the troops are divided into the southwest. The troops are seriously insufficient. It is already very difficult to deal with the invasion of South Vietnam. Do you still expect Qi Linfeng to eliminate the troubles of South Vietnam?"

"Even if you can, you will have to lose troops and generals if you think about it. Without the eldest princess to provide support in the court, the Taiwei Mansion will lose troops and generals like a sick tiger with teeth pulled out. As the crown prince, are you worried that you will not have the chance to suppress the Qi family's army?"

Jiang Jingzhang was slightly startled. It turned out that the purpose of sending the eldest princess to the southwest and prompting His Majesty to divide the troops to the southwest was to plan for Weiyu to suppress Qi's army first.

I didn’t expect Changjun Wangcheng Mansion to be so deep.

This move is clearly killing multiple birds with one stone.

It’s still a series of interconnected schemes!

Sacrificing an eldest princess would not only allow him to regain power and succeed in establishing himself as the crown prince, but at the same time break the arm of the Taiwei Mansion and weaken the Taiwei Mansion's strength.

"Uncle Prince is really good at planning." A voice suddenly sounded outside the study. Ye Mingwan walked in slowly and looked at the uncle and nephew inside with a smile.

Prince Chang's heart sank, and he looked at Jiang Jingzhang with some displeasure, blaming him for being careless. They were having a secret conversation in the study room when a woman from the royal family broke in.

This shows that the guards in Jiang Jingzhang's mansion are loose.

This is a big no-no.

Jiang Jingzhang also frowned and said coldly: "This is not the place you should be, get out."
