Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Three days later.

The rumble of horse hooves came from the long street, and a group of soldiers wearing black armor appeared in the street with great force. At the front of the team was Gu Tianming, who was dressed in white.

Passers-by who were still walking on the street saw this scene and retreated to both sides to make way for the road.

"Oh my god! King Jin is going to lead his troops on an expedition again."

"Yeah, my father is an official in the court. I heard that King Jin is going to the north this time."

"Yes, the barbarians in Mobei seem to be becoming more and more dishonest recently. Your Majesty is probably serious about sending Prince Jin this time."

"Of all the princes, the one I admire the most is Prince Jin. He is handsome and always goes to the front line. He is a good man for me, Dazhou. If he can serve His Highness Prince Jin, even if he is a concubine, OK."

"I'm afraid you don't know! It seems that King Jin has been dethroned and crowned king by His Majesty. He is only the sixth prince now."

"Why? King Jin is so outstanding, why would Your Majesty depose him as king?"

"How do I know this? I heard that someone seemed to have framed me."

"Oh my god! I feel so bad for my brother, Prince Jin. He is obviously better than other princes, but he is always targeted. It is so pitiful."

There were discussions among the crowd, some were praising, some were admiring, and some were feeling sad.

As ordinary people, they rarely know the news inside the palace, that is, they rely on various rumors to understand important figures like Gu Tianming.

Therefore, when they saw Gu Tianming leaving Beijing and heading north, they felt more appreciation and admiration.

At the gate of the city, Gu Tianming couldn't help but stop his horse, looked back at the familiar city, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Kyoto, I will come back soon. Lao Jiu, you won't be so lucky next time."

"Your Highness!"

Just as Gu Tianming was about to ride away, a loud voice came, and he saw Zhao Tai chasing after him with a group of people, and even Zhao Lele followed behind.

"General Zhao, why are you here?!" Gu Tianming was slightly startled, first looked at Zhao Tai, then looked at Zhao Lele behind him, and asked in surprise.

"I'm here to bid farewell to His Highness."

Zhao Tai chuckled, then waved to the guard behind him, "Bring me some wine."

The guard immediately brought the drinks, filled a bowl for the two of them, and then gave them to Gu Tianming and Zhao Tai respectively.

Zhao Tai raised his glass and invited him, "Come, Your Highness, let's have a drink. Zhao is waiting for your triumphant return."

"Dry."

Gu Tianming smiled gently, picked up the wine bowl, touched it with Zhao Tai, and drank the drink in one gulp.

After finishing the farewell drink, Zhao Tai looked at Zhao Lele behind him and reminded: "Le'er, you also have to say a few words to His Highness. After today, His Highness doesn't know when he will be able to come back."

When asked by Zhao Tai, Zhao Lele could only ride over and said with embarrassment after thinking for a while, "Well... Your Highness, I heard that the weather over there is bad, please wear more clothes. ."

"Thank you Miss Zhao for your kindness. I will pay attention to it." Gu Tianming said with a smile.

Zhao Lele nodded, "Oh, take care of yourself on the road."

...

"Your Highness, King Jin seems to be on his way."

In Prince Zhuang's Mansion, Liu Yun quickly walked into the room and reminded Gu Chen.

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded.

Seeing that Gu Chen didn't ask again, Liu Yun hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, do you think we should take this opportunity to deal with King Jin."

As a confidant of His Highness, he knew very well what King Jin had done during this period. If such a cruel prince is not eliminated, he will definitely become a stumbling block in His Highness's growth.

Gu Chen raised an eyebrow at the other party and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure?"

Liu Yun shook his head, "No, but you can give it a try."

King Jin is a fifth-grade warrior, and his strength is above him.

Moreover, during this expedition, His Majesty also sent 30,000 soldiers to King Jin. It would not be easy to assassinate him. But as long as it can eliminate trouble for His Highness, no matter how high the cost, he is willing to give it a try.

"What if it fails?" Gu Chen asked.

It’s not that Gu Chen backed down.

Although he is a prince, it is just an identity. He doesn't have much real power in his hands, nor does he have military power. The entire Prince Zhuang's Mansion only has a few hundred guards.

Sending them to assassinate King Jin would be extremely difficult.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to let the King of Jin go to the north to protect the territory for the Zhou Dynasty.

If I remember correctly, the Mobei barbarians heading north have now begun to sharpen their guns before the battle, and have the idea of ​​​​attacking the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In the middle of next year, when the weather warms up, the other side may start to plunder the resources of the northern region and kill them wantonly.

Sending King Jin there can also play a certain role in containing the situation.

Moreover, now that the prince is dead and the King of Jin has been transferred to the north, no one among all the princes in Kyoto can compete with him for the throne.

As long as during this period, Gu Chen can gather his forces into shape as soon as possible, gain the approval of his father, and control part of the military power.

Even if King Jin comes back in the future, he will not have any fear.

...

Prime Minister's Office.

"Dad, now that the prince is dead and the King of Jin has been transferred to the north, only Prince Zhuang can take charge of the whole court. What should we do now!" Nangong Qian said with an anxious face and some helplessness.

"Let me think."

Nangong Jue narrowed his eyes and his expression was also not good-looking.

He sent someone to Weiyang Palace a few days ago to ask the King of Jin why he was transferred to a distant place. However, his biological daughter was unwilling to tell him a word.

Now Prince Zhuang's Mansion is the only one in the family. If the other party really grows up, the Prime Minister's Mansion might be the first to be destroyed.

Seeing that Nangong Jue couldn't think of a solution, Nangong Qian swallowed his saliva, hesitated again and said:

"Dad, before the quarrel gets to the point where it will never end, how about we surrender to Prince Zhuang..."

"What do you mean!"

Nangong Jue looked at Nangong Qian with a serious look on his face and asked.

"Dad, His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang has become so popular, what can we do to fight with him now?" Nangong Gan said sincerely.

Now that the King of Jin has been deposed and given the title of king, it is obvious that he has done something to offend His Majesty, and he will never be reused again in the future. If you still want to confront Prince Zhuang, you must either kill him directly, or support a new prince and find a way to gain his majesty's attention.

Neither the former nor the latter is easy to achieve.

Moreover, his eldest son Nangong Qin is still imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, undergoing inhuman torture every day, and there is no good piece of meat left on his body. If the fight continues like this, he is really worried that the Prime Minister's Palace will not be a match for Prince Zhuang's Palace.

It's better to take the initiative to admit your mistake and turn the big issue into a trivial one.

"Do you think they will be willing to reconcile with us?!" Nangong Jue said.

He didn't have much grudge against Prince Zhuang, it was mainly against the Xiao family of the Ministry of Punishment. After all, he sent people to kill the heirs of Mr. Xiao in front of him.

As the natal family of Prince Zhuang, the Xiao family definitely does not want Prince Zhuang's Mansion to reconcile with the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Dad, the Xiao family is the Xiao family, and Prince Zhuang's Mansion is Prince Zhuang's Mansion. As long as we show enough integrity, there will definitely be room for maneuver in this matter."

Nangong Jue suddenly fell silent and whispered: "You go down first and let me think about it."
