Chapter 164 Fishing in troubled waters
The main hall of the East Factory.Wang Man sneered and said: "Old thief Ji wants to win with more people? I want to see whether it is his ministers on his side who are more powerful, or the emperor on my side. Your Highness, Prince Kang, don't worry, I will personally attend the meeting on the day of court." Standing an arm's length away from the emperor, you can deal with emergencies at any time."

King Kang, who was sitting aside, sneered in his heart when he heard Wang Man speaking out about his control over his father in front of him without any scruples: My father is confused, am I not?When this king ascends to the throne, I will be the first to destroy you, this damn eunuch!
But his face was calm, and he said calmly: "The top priority is to capture Feng Guangcai. We don't have the support of the army. Then we are afraid that Ji's party will fight to the death. We only have internal guards, but we have no advantage outside the palace." You can say that. If the palace is besieged, I'm afraid."

King Kang was a man who was overly ambitious but lacking in abilities. Wang Man actually looked down on him a little, but what abilities do you need to be an emperor?Just be able to do it yourself.It's good to be ambitious, otherwise he wouldn't fight for the crown prince position
A servant had mentioned before that Xie Pingkun could be better controlled if he simply made Xie Pingkun the crown prince.This group of fools, the prince and four of them are all very young, even if the throne is passed on to the emperor's grandson, will the throne be stable?
Wang Man glanced at King Kang and said nonchalantly: "Do they still dare to usurp the throne? The Dongchang and Jinyi guards in my hands are more useful than the army in the palace. My people are more than enough to deal with Jichuan's Jinwu guards."

However, he listened to what King Kang said about "surrounding the palace."To be on the safe side, Wang Man still said: "Your Highness Kang Wang, you immediately call Zhang Yue to Beijing overnight, and let him prepare to take over as the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army, and his younger brother Zhang Heng takes over as the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan. I will let Bing The pen servant prepares the edict."

"Then Feng Guangcai."

"You don't have to worry about it. I have a way to make him disappear." Wang Man picked up the tea cup and took a sip, eh?cold?It seems that the person who serves is not satisfied. In a few days, when Shisan has finished his work, he will be asked to come over.

King Kang was still thinking that if he had the commander-in-chief of the five armies, King Xian would only occupy two armies, and the remaining three armies would not only be able to compete with him, but even overwhelm him.Seeing that Wang Man was confident again, he raised his eyebrows, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went back to his house to make arrangements.

The main hall of General Cheng's Mansion.

"As we expected, King Xian and King Kang will have to fight in advance." Xie Ruitang rubbed the tea cup with his hand and said: "Duke Ji is going to salute the troops in the main hall before the Tiankuang Festival. He has Jinwu Guards and the Five Military Camps in his hands. They also account for two. King Kang has Dongchang and Jinyiwei."

Many people came today, and Haitang asked someone to prepare Pu'er tea for them.When brewing Pu'er tea, use a pot with a large belly so that the tea soup will not be too strong.It’s good to have more people.

Cheng Hanbai nodded and said: "Yes, Zuo Zhangquan told me that the generals of the central and rear armies have been walking around the city and outside the city frequently in the past two days. By the way, I also encountered a strange thing today. Taiyuan Commander Zhang Yue quietly returned to Beijing, could there be changes in the north?" He worried that his father was still in Xuanfu Pass. If something happened suddenly, he would be beyond his reach and had to prepare in advance.

The two brothers Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng were more than ten years older than Cheng Hanbai. From the perspective of commanding operations, they were also two great generals.It's just that Zhang Heng is more out-of-the-box and has a lot more scorn than his brother.Cheng Hanbai entered the border gate at the age of eight. How could the small Xuan Mansion be enough for him to jump around?His favorite task was to deliver news to surrounding towns.After going back and forth, he became very familiar with the Zhang brothers in Taiyuan Pass.

In the morning, he was leading a patrol along the street. He saw an unmarked carriage with a shed in the distance, approaching the gate of Prince Kang's palace. A man got out and hurried into the palace.The moment he looked around, the sharp-eyed Cheng Hanbai recognized that the person coming was Zhang Yue.

Prince Duan and the Crown Prince looked at each other. The Crown Prince was at Prince Duan's Mansion this morning. It happened that the spies in the border army sent news that a new commander's seal was received at Taiyuan Pass yesterday, and it was actually Zhang Heng's name engraved on it. He didn't see the imperial edict, and the spies couldn't understand its meaning.The two of them still didn't know whether it was Zhang Heng who was up to something, or whether it was the Holy One's intention.

At this moment, the two of them understood immediately.The prince sneered and said: "It's not necessarily because something happened in the north, but it's possible that he was transferred back to take over the military power. I just don't know if it's the Shenji Camp? The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Military Camp? Or the Yulin Guard?" "The Shenji Camp has Feng Mingze, and the Yulin Guard I don't believe that King Kang dares to treat me as a dead person!" Zhao Muzhe snorted unconvinced.

"Yes, yes, you are all respectable. If they want to touch you, they will at least be polite before attacking you. Since they haven't won over you, it means you are not the target, don't worry." Prince Duan smiled and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Muzhe, and then said: "I guess the target is Feng Guangcai. King Kang must think that by capturing Feng Guangcai, the left, front and right armies will obey his orders."

"I have never been in the army, and I know that each army has its own connections. However, even if you don't obey Zhang Yue's orders, you should still be wary of the holy order in Zhang Yue's hands. The emperor is Wang Man's trump card. " Shen Congxi mused.

The prince also nodded: "Yes, King Kang just needs someone to play this trump card for Wang Man. Zhang Yue is senior enough in the army, so he is indeed a good candidate. From both sides, with the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Military Camp Afterwards, King Kang's force was slightly stronger."

"If we need to use force, our Shenji Battalion can be responsible for external cooperation. There are many people in the palace and it is easy to be accidentally injured, so I will not join in the fun." Feng Mingze took the initiative to say to King Kang.

Today is the first time he has attended such a gathering. Firstly, he has a lot to do, and secondly, these people in front of him are all relatives of the emperor, but he is a mountain villager who made his fortune through technology, so he is still a little unaccustomed to it.

King Duan looked at him with a smile and said, "You haven't been there long, and I haven't asked much about your situation. Before you went, Shenji Camp was cleaned up, and Wang Yue's people were basically cleared out. You can still cope with it now. Come here? Already have someone of your own?"

Feng Mingze smiled and said: "Of course we haven't subdued them all yet. There are two thorns who look for trouble from time to time, but it's not a problem to pull up a 200-person fire gun army. I also need an action to establish my position in the Shenji Camp. status."

"My Yulin Guards are always at your command!" Zhao Muzhe smiled brightly, as if he was afraid that things would not go wrong.His mother died young, and he grew up in front of the Queen Mother. The palace was like his own home.

"It's a mess. Now it's clear that we are offering the king to fight with King Kang. We are King Duan. What we want is to fish in troubled waters, not to fight each other when we meet." Cheng Hanbai knocked on the table a few times and said: "A fight is the last step. We want to First of all, we need to find out where the fish in the water are. King Xian and Ji are in the Ming Dynasty, and their layout is the strongest, but we know best that the difficulty now lies in King Kang and Wang Man who are in the dark. Apart from the emperor, how much do they have? Cards, we don’t know.”

Several people stared at Cheng Hanbai: Sure, his sister must have taught him well and his IQ is online!

Duan Wang gave his uncle a thumbs up.
