The two of them were in a state of panic, and the two sides were in a state of panic.

Chen Yunxuan interrupted Chen Yunfeng without hesitation and said, "Impossible, even if we fully support you to ascend the throne, who knows if you will kill us and disregard our brotherhood and attack us."

Chen Yunfeng's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he sighed, "In this case, there is no room for negotiation."

Chen Yunxuan raised his hand to overturn the dining table and sneered, "Why, does my brother still want to keep us in the palace?"

Chen Yunque also remained silent and watched the situation change.

Chen Yunfeng's expression was uncertain. It was not that he did not have the confidence to keep the two people, but now was not the best time.

"Since you are all unwilling to support me, then let's stop here. Forget about the military seal and jade seal. The entire palace is now my confidant."

Chen Yunxuan sneered, turned around and left, and Chen Yunque followed closely.

Looking at the food spilled on the ground, Chen Yunfeng calmly called the eunuch to clean it up, and then knelt in front of Chen Liling again, talking to himself: "Father, now the Beiting Dynasty is in internal and external troubles, and the sun is setting. If I want to clean up the world and create a prosperous era again, I can't avoid brothers killing each other. Why don't you leave an edict to support me to ascend the throne?"

Chen Yunxuan angrily asked someone to call Qian Zhen and said to him: "Qian Sikong, my elder brother has made his attitude clear. He will never give in to the throne. I think the war will start sooner or later, so we should mobilize the troops quickly."

Qian Zhen's mind turned quickly, but he didn't respond.

On the other hand, Chen Yunque left the palace without looking back after calling Ji Gang.

At Chen Yunque's residence, You Hong, the Minister of Rites, and Cheng Yu, the Imperial Censor, who were from the Jiangnan aristocratic family, discussed with Chen Yunque and Ji Gang in the study.

"There will be a battle between my eldest brother and the third brother, and I have the weakest foundation, so I can only wait and see."

You Hong pondered, "Your Highness, I'm afraid they will join forces first, get you out of the game, and then start a showdown."

Cheng Yu also nodded in agreement and said, "The eldest prince is meticulous, and the third prince seems to be impulsive, but he is actually not incompetent. How can they let us watch the fire from the other side of the river? We have to be on guard."

Chen Yunque said to Ji Gang, "How many people can you mobilize in the Prison Control Department now?"

"There are only a thousand real confidants, but the other two commanders dare not disobey my orders and can mobilize about ten thousand people."

Chen Yunque He shook his head and said, "Not enough! The reason why they didn't move against me now is because they don't know what the prison guards are thinking. The situation is not clear yet. They don't want to offend the prison guards. In their eyes, you, the first commander of the prison guards, have represented the attitude of the prison guards, but we are just using Murong Junwu's skin."

"You need to let Murong Junwu express his attitude as soon as possible. As long as we can completely gain the support of the entire prison guards, we will have a place in this battle for imperial power."

"I'll do it as soon as possible!"

Ji Gang left quickly, taking Chen Yunque's order to contact the real boss behind the prison guards, the first-class prison guard Murong Junwu.

After Ji Gang left, Cheng Yu slowly said, "Your Highness, Ji Gang surrendered to us without hesitation under the urging of several princes. He must have a purpose. It is better to be cautious."

You Hong also agreed, "Ji Gang's identity is unknown. He could have surrendered to the powerful eldest prince or the third prince who holds military power, but he chose to surrender to us, which makes people have to be suspicious."

Chen Yunque smiled slightly and said, "No, you still haven't seen through the nature of Ji Gang. After close contact, I found that he is a man of outstanding ability and ambition. It is safer to surrender to the eldest brother and the third brother, but he will also bear huge responsibilities. , with his current power, joining them can only be regarded as icing on the cake, but if they support me, it would be a timely help. As long as I can successfully ascend the throne, his future will be bright. Isn't this a gamble? "

"Regarding his identity, since Murong Junwu, the old fox, can continuously promote him, it means that there is no problem with his identity, and it is most appropriate to let him test Murong Junwu's attitude this time."

"Murong Junwu seems to be staying out of the matter, but in fact, he has already shown a hint of his attitude. Otherwise, how could he condone Ji Gang's blatant approach to us?"

Tingjing City, Murong Mansion.

Murong Junwu is a two-generation old minister of the Beiting Dynasty. He is loyal to the royal family and has been in charge of the Prison Department for fifty years. Now he is over seventy years old, but his prestige remains. At the same time,

Rong Junwu is still a super strong man in the realm of martial emperor.

As he got older, perhaps to avoid the solicitation of the Grand Master and the Minister of Works, although Murong Junwu was still the head of the Prison Control Department in name, he had been living in seclusion in his own mansion for many years.

Murong Junwu had never had any contact or contact with any prince, and did not express his position this time.

Ji Gang came to the gate of the mansion and said to the gatekeeper who was guarding the gate: "Please inform that Ji Gang, the first commander of the Prison Control Department, wants to see the head of the Murong Division."

The gatekeeper said politely: "Commander Ji, our master said that he is not feeling well recently and will not see anyone who comes to visit. Please go back."

Ji Gang said with a firm look: "You better inform me, I will wait here at the gate."

The gatekeeper shook his head and had to report the news to the housekeeper.

In front of the artificial lake covering several acres in the backyard of Murong Mansion, an old man with white hair and beard and a burly figure sat quietly by the lake with a fishing rod, waiting for the fish to bite.

"Master, Ji Gang, the commander of the prison, wants to see you!"

Murong Junwu's eyes showed a gleam of light. After taking a sip of tea, he slowly said, "Bring him to the backyard to see me."

The housekeeper showed a trace of surprise in his eyes. The master had specifically instructed not to see guests, so why was he willing to see Ji Gang again?

The housekeeper didn't think much about it and soon brought Ji Gang to the backyard in person.

Seeing Murong Junwu fishing, Ji Gang stood by with his hands down and didn't disturb him.

"I know your purpose very well. You want me to support His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, right?"

While speaking, Murong Junwu waved his hand to let the servants and maids nearby retreat.

Murong Junwu paused, turned his head and looked at Ji Gang, his vicissitudes eyes were full of wisdom.

"Let's not talk about supporting His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince for now, I am very interested in your identity."

"If I am not mistaken, you should be a member of the Qin Army. Although your resume and identity certificate are perfect, such a young martial emperor can only be cultivated by the mysterious Qin Army throughout the entire Beiting."

Under Murong Junwu's gaze, Ji Gang was shocked and hurriedly stepped back half a step, ready to draw his sword.

Murong Junwu stood up with full momentum, staring at Ji Gang and said: "Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you. I forgot to tell you that the Grand Commandant Cui Xiu is my life-and-death friend!"
