The king of the country was in trouble, but he was still in trouble.

Ji Gang did not relax his vigilance after hearing this. He was shocked. Cui Xiu, the Taiwei who crashed into the Jinluan Palace, could be said to be one of the few loyal ministers of the Beiting Dynasty. However, Cui Xiu, who was devoted to the people of Beiting, did not end up well.

Since Ji Gang was promoted to the Martial Emperor Realm, he has been using special means to hide his strength in order to avoid revealing any clues. Unexpectedly, he was still seen through by Murong Junwu, the old fox.

Murong Junwu put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Ever since Captain Cui crashed into the Jinluan Palace, I have completely lost hope in the entire Beiting. Now I want to know why Li Yichen, or the entire Qin Army, is plotting against Beiting!"

Two hours later, Ji Gang walked out of Murong Mansion and quickly came to the Sixth Prince's residence.

"Your Highness, Sixth Prince, Murong Sizhu has agreed to use the power of the Prison Control Department to support Your Highness' succession to the throne."

Chen Yunque, who has always been scheming and never showed his emotions, couldn't help but show an ecstatic look and said, "Great! With the support of the Prison Control Department, I have a rich bargaining chip in this capital city. Commander Ji has made an indelible contribution! When I rule the world, Commander Ji will be a meritorious official who will rise to prominence!"

Ji Gang showed a grateful look on his face, bowed and said, "I am willing to serve Your Highness, Sixth Prince!"

At the residence of the Third Prince Chen Yunxuan, Chen Yunxuan was pacing back and forth anxiously, and Qian Zhen stood aside in silence.

"Qian Sikong, Murong Junwu is an old fox. We have tried to win him over time and time again, but he remained unmoved. How could he suddenly support Lao Liu? This old guy has 50,000 elite soldiers from the Prison Control Department."

"Now that the Imperial City is in the hands of my eldest brother, Lao Liu also has the support of Murong Junwu. If we delay, something will happen. Why don't we make a concerted effort to take down the two imperial guards and forcibly take down the Imperial City first?"

Qian Zhen shook his head and said, "Your Highness, please be patient. Now we only have 300,000 troops. If we want to take down the two armies in one go, we will injure the enemy by 1,000 and our own by 800."

"And as long as we take action, His Highness the Sixth Prince and the First Prince will definitely join forces. With Murong Junwu, this old man, interfering, it will be difficult to achieve anything."

Chen Yunxuan showed a sinister look on his face: "Then mobilize troops, mobilize 100,000 troops from Lizhou and Yuzhou, and then send Zhenbei to the city overnight. The army rushed to the capital and took them down with the force of thunder and lightning. "

Qian Zhen said solemnly: "Now the troops of Fengzhou and Lizhou cannot move lightly. They need to guard against the Qin army entering the Central Plains. Moreover, the attitude of the King of Lu in Luzhou is unclear. He has 150,000 elite Dongfu troops, as well as the Qingzhou Corps and the Cangzhou Corps, totaling more than 400,000 troops. If he does not express his position, the situation in the capital will not be clear. "

"Wang Chengxu, pass my order to block the outer perimeter of the imperial city. No supplies can be transported into the imperial city. As long as their supply of food and grass is cut off, I want to see how long these two guards can hold on!"

Qian Zhen's Rising Sun Corps blocked all roads leading to the imperial city at a very fast speed, not allowing a grain of rice to enter the imperial city. Although there is food stored in the imperial city, as time goes on, the more than 100,000 troops of the imperial guard will cause chaos as long as they are cut off from food and grass.

It must be said that Qian Zhen's move directly hit the weak spot of the eldest prince Chen Yunfeng.

The current situation in Tingjing City is basically divided into three parts. The outer part is led by the third prince Chen Yunxuan. With the support of Qian Zhen, the 300,000-strong army is currently the most powerful side.

In the imperial city, the eldest prince Chen Yunfeng is entrenched with two large imperial guards. They can temporarily protect themselves. It is difficult for Qian Zhen's 300,000-strong army to swallow them.

The sixth prince Chen Yunque seems to be weak, but since Murong Junwu and the prison guards expressed their views, they have become popular. Both sides want to win them over to break the balance. Chen Yunque, who is in the gap, is the safest.

In the imperial study of the palace, Chen Yunfeng put his hands behind his back and looked at the scene outside the window quietly.

"Have you found out what Wang En and Lao Jiu are up to?"

"Your Highness, after Wang En took the Ninth Prince away from Tingjing, he disappeared without a trace."

"You're such a loser, go all out to investigate. If you can't find anything, you don't have to come back!"

Chen Yunfeng had his own worries. Wang En, the most trusted eunuch of his father, Emperor Chen Li, suddenly disappeared with Lao Jiu. If Chen Li really left an imperial edict, then the edict was most likely on Wang En.

Grand Master Cai Yong quietly walked into the imperial study and said to Chen Yunfeng: "

Your Highness, Qian Zhen has now sent people to block all the main roads leading to the Imperial City. No supplies can enter the Imperial City. The granary in the Imperial City can still support the Imperial Guards for three months. If the food supply is completely cut off, I am afraid there will be chaos. "

After Chen Yunfeng pondered for a moment, he ordered Cai Yong: "I will write a letter immediately. You send someone to find a way to send it to the sixth brother to see what his attitude is. If the prison is willing to stand on our side, then we will start the war immediately and drive Qian Zhen out of the court first. "

Cai Yong nodded in response, and Chen Yunxuan personally visited Chen Yunque's mansion at this time.

"Sixth brother, as long as we join forces, it is more than enough to take over the Imperial City. If you help me ascend the throne, I will divide Fengzhou and Yuzhou into two places for you, and enthrone you as a prince. How about it? "

"Why do you say that, third brother? I have said that I am not interested in the throne. I stay in the Imperial City just to mourn for my father. "

"Come on, don't hide your little thoughts from me. With only a prison commander, you want to covet the throne, it's just a foolish dream. If you don't choose your position now, it will be too late when I ascend to the throne in the future!"

Chen Yunxuan hated his sixth brother in front of him, but he couldn't do anything about him. As long as he dared to attack Chen Yunque, he might force him to turn to his eldest brother, which would be more trouble than gain.

Chen Yunque picked up the teacup, took a sip, and pondered: "Okay, since the third brother has made it clear, then I will say it clearly. No matter whether you or the eldest brother inherits the throne, I just want to save my life, understand? Let me think about it for some time and give you an answer. "

Chen Yunxuan pressed on step by step: "No, I can't give you too much time, at most three days, I want a clear attitude from your side!"

"It's a deal! Just three days. ”

Not long after Chen Yunxuan left, Chen Yunque received a letter from his elder brother. The content of the letter was nothing more than various promises of benefits to win him over to his side.

After reading the letter, Chen Yunque sneered, tore the letter to pieces, and then calmly ordered his subordinates to summon Ji Gang and others to discuss matters.

Soon, the messenger sent by Chen Yunfeng secretly returned to the imperial city through the secret passage with Chen Yunque's message.

"What is the attitude of the Sixth Prince?"

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince's attitude is ambiguous. He only said that he should consider it and give an answer in three days."

Chen Yunfeng's eyes flashed, and he said to Cai Yong beside him: "The Sixth Prince thinks he is smart and wants to play both sides. He plays me and the Third Prince in the palm of his hand, but he doesn't understand one truth. Since ancient times, fence-sitters have died the most miserably. "
