From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 171 Conspiracy
Jia Wei carefully selected and found a secret place.

He paid attention to the movements around him, and put his ear to the wall, trying to eavesdrop.

Suddenly the conversation in the room became clear.

"He Zhen, the guard at Di'an Gate, was my father's confidant. As long as I write a letter, he will be able to serve me..."

Jia Wei knew everything just by hearing this one sentence.

Why would a prince like him look for the guard at the back gate of the imperial city?
What Xuanwu Gate inheritance law!
Jia Wei couldn't help but think that this Prince of Ningjing was also a ruthless person. He knew that the emperor didn't like him, so he took the initiative...

"As for Li Shi Ning, the commander of the Shenwu Gate, I have evidence that he has colluded with officials from outside Ping'an Prefecture and smuggled ironware, silk, tea and other goods to the grassland. All I need to do is use coercion or inducement..."

As soon as Prince Ningjing finished speaking, another elderly male voice echoed: "This route can lead directly into the harem. The guards in the harem are weak at night. We only need to split our troops into two groups. One group will kidnap the emperor, and the other group will go to Fengzao Palace to ask the empress dowager to issue an order to depose and enthrone the emperor... In this way, the great event will be accomplished!"

After he finished speaking, Jia Wei seemed to hear the sound of everyone in the room taking deep breaths.

Although the risks of a palace coup are high, the benefits are also high...

Jia Wei, who was eavesdropping through the wall, couldn't help but complain in his heart, no, you're already fantasizing so late at night?
"We still need to plan for the aftermath." Someone else said, "Your Highness should give the Queen Mother a title of honor afterwards, and Prince Zhongshun also needs to be appeased."

Prince Ningjing said, "Why not make the crown prince Chen Tao a prince?"

“It’s OK…”

The group of people in the room continued to plan how to stage a coup, how to appease the people and stabilize the situation afterwards, and after coming up with a plan, they began to check for omissions and fill in the gaps, being very meticulous - after all, it was a game that was to be played with all the nine clans, so it was hard not to be serious.

Jia Wei summed it up and said that on the evening of the 28th, Prince Ningjing was going to rebel - which happened to be the day when he was going to celebrate with the Xue family.

The route is Di'anmen and Shenwumen.

The main goal was to kill the emperor and hold the empress dowager hostage to issue an edict.

Jia Wei thought, there will be a surprise when he comes here tonight... Strictly speaking, this is the second surprise.

He was thinking about how he could gain the greatest benefit from this palace coup.

Reporting directly to the emperor is a bad idea.

Without any evidence, and without alerting the enemy, it would be difficult to gain any results.

The ideal situation, of course, would be to let Prince Ningjing cause a palace coup, and then come out to save the situation in a critical moment to maximize the credit.

It would be best to find a checkpoint and save the emperor's life from the butcher's knife, which would not only earn you credit but also deepen the emperor's trust in you.

Jia Wei is not fantasizing. He has anticipated the enemy's moves and has a bird's eye view. How can he lose?
Suddenly Jia Wei thought of that snow-white figure again...

Prince Ningjing's struggle was doomed to fail. With his family destroyed, the princess had no choice but to go her own way.

Tsk tsk tsk, that's such a pity.

The conspiracy was still going on in the house. After obtaining confidential information, Jia Wei was ready to go home, but he suddenly stopped because he heard his own name.

"Wait, there's another person worthy of attention, Jia Wei from the Jia family..." The person who spoke was exactly the purpose of Jia Wei's trip to the Prince's Mansion tonight, Lu Wenzhao.

Someone immediately said disdainfully: "He is just a lucky guy, a treacherous warrior, what can he accomplish? When he wakes up in the morning and finds that the world has changed, he will be the first to surrender and bow down at your feet."

Jia Wei wanted to rush in and kill the person who was speaking!

Lu Wenzhao was a lowly person, and seeing that none of the counselors cared, he immediately bowed to the Prince of Ningjing:
"Your Highness, Jia Wei controls the Jinyiwei and Longjinwei, so we must be on guard! Moreover, Jia Wei is extremely skilled in martial arts, and people in the martial arts world rank him below the Five Great Masters. I'm afraid that even the old priests in the palace are no match for Jia Wei..."

Someone immediately interrupted, "The courage of a common man is nothing to be afraid of! There are only 300 Dragon Guards, and less than 100 guarding the palace, and most of them are nobles and spoiled people. The Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal army. As long as the big thing is accomplished, Your Highness can issue an order to deprive them of their positions." Lu Wenzhao hurriedly said, "Jia Wei may not be able to defeat a thousand people, but he can definitely defeat a hundred people! Moreover, he is very good at Qinggong, and he can climb over the palace gate as if walking on flat ground. Although he can't resist the army, he can take the emperor and run for his life."

As soon as Lu Wenzhao said this, the room instantly became quiet.

Outside the house, Jia Wei thought that it would be no problem for him to fight two or three hundred armored soldiers with his bare hands. If he brought the Heavenly Sword, he might be able to fight a thousand of them...

And just as Lu Wenzhao said, if you can't defeat him, you can just take the emperor and run away and wait for support.

Also, what the hell is this old priest in the palace?

Jia Wei searched all the way but didn't find anything unusual?
Lu Wenzhao said that he was below the Five Great Masters, and the old priest could be compared to him, so this man should have the strength of the top first-rate level.

Prince Ningjing has such a master under his command, why doesn't he send him directly to assassinate the emperor?

I only heard the Prince of Ningjing in the room saying, "Jia Yu was born in Ningguo Mansion, and he is a descendant of Ningguo Mansion. He has a very good personal relationship with the Prince's Mansion. His father was the absolute confidant of the Prince when he was alive. So after his father passed away, his father committed suicide. Jia Jing of Ningguo Mansion also became a monk. Why did he change his mind and join a different sect?"

Jia Wei: “…”

My father followed your father and died at a young age.

I follow the emperor, was made an earl at a young age, and have a bright future. What is there to be confused about?
"…During the previous hunting trip at Tiewang Mountain, I tried to show my friendship to him, but he was indifferent. How about I write a letter to Jia Jing?"

Someone immediately dissuaded him, saying, "Your Highness, you must not do this! Secrecy is the key to success, but disclosure is the key to failure! Jia Jing has been a monk for many years, and who knows if he is still loyal to the palace?"

"Then how should we deal with this person?" Prince Ningjing was in a dilemma.

"Jia Wei is a flatterer, and I only promise him benefits..."

Prince Ningjing thought for a while and came up with an idea. He looked at Lu Wenzhao and said, "Isn't Jia Wei searching the whole city for you? Before you do anything, go and test him. If he is interested, promise him the title of Duke. I just want him to do nothing. After the matter is done, I will confer him the title of Duke of Ning."

Jia Wei did not continue listening. He cautiously left the main courtyard and sneaked out of the Ningjing County Prince's Mansion.

Speaking of this Prince Ningjing, he is quite generous.

Even if he rescued the emperor and quelled the rebellion again, the highest title the emperor would give him would be a duke.

Now is not the founding period, so a king with a different surname will not be enthroned.

But unfortunately, he and Prince Ningjing were not the same kind of people after all.

Emperor Xuanwu is a good leader. He is not too suspicious and is not an ungrateful emperor. There is no need for him to switch to Prince Ningjing.

Moreover, even if he did not intervene, it was still unclear whether Prince Ningjing's rebellion would succeed.

When it comes to a palace coup, no matter how good the plan is, it must be implemented in action. If there is any mistake, the whole plan will fail and the entire clan will be punished.

Besides, even if Prince Ningjing succeeded, Jia Wei, who was either a loyal minister or a close confidant of the previous emperor, could not join his core team, and it would be difficult for him to make further progress.

No reward without merit, he was given the title of Duke just after he accomplished something to calm people's hearts, but when Prince Ningjing's power was consolidated, he might not like him anymore...

Jia Wei thought about this, weighed the pros and cons, and walked out of the Ningjing County Prince's Mansion and came to the street.

After a line of patrolling soldiers went away, Jia Wei suddenly stopped and looked at the dark night sky.

His voice was calm: "Come out."

Jia Wei couldn't help but frown. He was able to follow him for so long without revealing any flaws. Is there such a master in Shenjing City?
Although Jia Wei didn't pay attention to what was behind him, it was impossible for an ordinary first-class master to even keep up with his speed, let alone not be sensed by him.

Could it be the old priest in the Ningjing County Prince’s Mansion that Lu Wenzhao mentioned?
