Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 462: Scheming

Thinking of this, he still stood up.

"Your Highness, Prince Qin, would you mind listening to what I have to say?"

As soon as he stood out, everyone looked over at once, including the King of Qin.

After seeing Huo Jingzhi stand up, the mocking look on King Qin's face faded a lot. King Qin still had some respect for his uncle.

"What does Duke Ji want to say? And in what capacity?"

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi smiled faintly and said, "Of course, we are talking about the official business of the Yu Dynasty. As for identity, if the King of Qin doesn't mind, how about I speak in the capacity of your uncle?"

He was talking about official business, which the King of Qin did not object to. He knew very well what kind of person Huo Jingzhi was. His loyalty was not to any one person, but to the entire Yu Dynasty.

On this point, even Marquis Xuanwu, who has always claimed to be loyal to the Yu Dynasty, cannot compare with him, because Marquis Xuanwu is more or less still involved with Prince Yide.

But Huo Jingzhi was completely different. He was truly devoted to the Yu Dynasty. In short, he would assist whoever was in that position, whether it was Emperor Zhaowu or other royal children, he would treat them equally.

This kind of attitude may seem like an ungrateful person to some petty emperors, but in the current situation, Huo Jingzhi's attitude is very convincing and admirable.

After all, he was the consort of Princess Ningyang. To Emperor Zhaowu, he was his own brother-in-law. With this status, even if the other party was not loyal to him, it didn't matter. He would not hold himself back. Besides, Huo Jingzhi was very capable. Since Emperor Zhaowu came to power, he had given a lot of constructive suggestions, which Emperor Zhaowu benefited a lot from.

As for the identity of uncle later on, the purpose was very obvious, which was to build some relationships so that the subsequent conversation would seem less official and have more family affection.

"Uncle, if you want to say anything, just say it. I am all ears."

At this time, the King of Qin no longer called himself "this king", but changed it to "little king", which meant he was talking to Huo Jingzhi as a junior.

"The Emperor is not young anymore. It is inappropriate for you to treat him like this. He has loved you so much over the years. Do you think you are doing the right thing?"

As soon as Huo Jingzhi opened his mouth, the King of Qin's face froze slightly. He turned his head to look at the retired emperor Yi Yan, who still had a sharp knife at his neck, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.

I don't know whether the retired emperor knew about what happened back then, but considering the care given by the retired emperor over the years, it was indeed wrong for him to do this.

"It is the little prince Meng who is too reckless. He only wants to control the palace so as to seek justice for his father. Thank you for reminding me, uncle."

Then he waved his hand, and the two swordsmen who were controlling the emperor retracted their weapons, but they still paid attention to his every move.

Seeing this, Huo Jingzhi nodded in satisfaction and said, "I can understand your desire to seek justice for your father, but I do not agree with your radical approach."

"After all, this is just a family dispute, but your actions are undoubtedly shaking the foundation of the entire Yu Dynasty." "If my guess is correct, the Turks, Tuyuhun, and the rebellion of King Huai's former subordinates all involved your methods, right?"

As soon as he said this, the ministers present were in an uproar again. Most of them did not connect these things together and just thought it was a coincidence.

But now that Huo Jingzhi had pointed it out, these people thought about it and immediately understood the trick.

The Turks had been badly defeated but had yet to be destroyed. Problems arose one after another, and support was sent in waves, almost all the troops that the Yu Dynasty could currently mobilize were sent over.

At this time, Tuyuhun was in chaos again and directly tied down the 300,000 troops at Xihu Pass.

Considering the current actions of the King of Qin, this was obviously arranged. He was worried that if he took action, the people at Xihu Pass would receive an imperial order to return to the king. Then would they move or not?
If they did not do something, they would certainly be criticized by the people of the world. After all, judging from the fact that the King of Qin currently brought 50,000 soldiers from Xihu Pass, most of those soldiers from Xihu Pass were probably loyal to him. If the soldiers from Xihu Pass came to defend the king, they would probably be driven away by Emperor Zhaowu. If they did that, not to mention what the people of the world would think, just looking at the actions of the soldiers from Xihu Pass, who would dare to trust the border generals in the future?

This would undoubtedly offend the entire military generals of the Yu Dynasty. Even if the King of Qin finally ascended to the throne, he would probably not be able to sit on the throne safely.

Therefore, the King of Qin arranged for Tuyuhun to tie down the army at Xihu Pass. Then the former subordinates of King Huai rebelled. At this time, the Yu Dynasty did not have many available troops, and the capital would inevitably draw people to resist. They did not seek destruction, but they could resist to buy time and kill the rebels of King Huai's former subordinates.

In this way, the capital city would be empty. In order to be on the safe side, or several accidents in succession would inevitably make Emperor Zhaowu feel that something was wrong.

What will he do at this time?
It is imperative to protect the capital city, which is of utmost importance.

So where would they draw troops from? Naturally, it would be Xihu Pass. Compared to other places, although there was a war at Xihu Pass, the number of 300,000 troops was there, and they did not want to destroy Tuyuhun, so naturally they would not need so many.

In this way, the soldiers at Xihu Pass will be summoned back to the capital and enter the capital area unimpeded. Isn't this equivalent to sending troops to the King of Qin in disguise?

Then came the good news from the Imperial Guards, as well as from the Turks and Xihu Pass. The whole nation rejoiced. The Turks' predicament had been resolved, and Li Jiujun was about to return to the court, so there were more troops available. While Emperor Zhaowu was happy, he was naturally careless, thinking that even if there was someone behind the scenes, it would be impossible to take over the capital in a short period of time.

As a result, the original martial law in the capital was relaxed. In addition, after so many consecutive days of high tension, it was suddenly relaxed. Whether it was the city guards, the military, or the imperial guards, they all relaxed.

In addition, Emperor Zhaowu held a grand banquet for his ministers, so naturally the soldiers under his command would also have some small benefits.

The slackness of many parties gave the King of Qin an opportunity. An army of 50,000 marched into the capital at lightning speed, controlled the situation, and then cooperated with a part of the imperial guards to quickly take control of the palace.

The links are linked together and the layout is exquisite, which is quite astonishing.

After realizing this, many people's eyes towards the King of Qin changed. They really didn't expect that the King of Qin, who had a low sense of presence, could have such scheming ability. It was true that a good father would have good sons.

Look at the King of Qin, and then look at the King of Qi and the King of Chu. They are making as much noise as kids playing house. It's like a small fry compared to a big fry. They are not on the same level at all.
