The Kingdom of Dayu is vast and rich in resources. It has only been established for more than a hundred years and has experienced three generations of monarchs. The prince Long Hao is the second son of the current emperor and is named King of Wu. The eldest brother of the current crown prince Zhang Huang, the successor to the future throne.
Long Hao's mother, Concubine Shu, is the most beloved concubine of the emperor today.
The general who has always been inseparable from Long Hao is the confidant general of the King of Wu and is also the commander of the Imperial City Imperial Guard. His name is Xue Zhaowu.
There are two personal bodyguards next to Long Hao. They are said to be both martial arts masters with unique skills and ability to fly around the eaves and walls. The slaves follow the surname of the master, one is Zhang Meng and the other is Zhang Xiong, who are brothers.
Today, the King of Wu brought his followers and his confidant generals out of the city to hunt. When he came to the forest, something suddenly happened. The King of Wu's mount was suddenly frightened.
It is strange that just as the King of Wu was riding his horse, his butt suddenly caught fire. The horse was strongly stimulated and rushed all the way, rushing to the lakeside, and even the people and horses fell into it.
The King of Wu's followers were all scared and chased them wildly. As a result, they chased him to the lake and saw Long Hao crawling there, so they rescued him.
The King of Wu's horses rushed into the capital. The military pioneers in front kept driving passers-by with horse whips, and some even shouted, "The King of Wu returns to his house, and the idle people avoid it!"
This made Long Hao realize the supremacy of royal power for the first time.
Being a prince is so majestic. If you can become the emperor of the dynasty, you will be even more accustomed to the wind and rain and do whatever you want!
The Palace of King Wu is built in the southeast corner of the capital. It is not to mention the grandeur and magnificent. Just talking about the two big stone lions at the door, it weighs a thousand pounds. The lion on the left is engraved with a few golden characters: The civil servant falls into the sedan chair. The lion on the right is engraved with: The general dismounts the horse. This shows that the status of the King of Wu is so high that all the civil servants and generals passing by must pass by on foot, otherwise the punishment will be ruled under the law of the country!
Long Hao was served by several eunuchs at the door of the mansion and got off the horse. His hands suddenly felt a sticky and smooth feeling. He looked down and was shocked.
I saw a red liquid stained on my hand, like blood, but not blood, because the color of blood was darker than it. Combined with his movements when he dismounted, it was concluded that the liquid was from the war horse under my seat. Suddenly, Is this the legendary sweat-blooded BMW?
Long Hao glanced at the rider again, with brown and red mane, all without any variegation. It was indeed a BMW good horse.
In order to pretend that he was much sick, he seemed shaking when walking. The personal bodyguard Zhang Meng saw the clue and asked: Your Highness, do you feel that you are not convinced?Today is a humble mistake. Your Highness, please go to the bedroom to rest first, and the imperial doctor will be sent to you later.
Long Hao was helped to the bedroom by two little eunuchs who served him intimately. He took a hot bath, changed into a new set of clothes, and then lay on the soft and comfortable large bed of carved dragons.
He was washed away by the lake for a night and was exhausted and very weak. Rather than pretending to be sick, he was actually 80% of the time.
The imperial doctor came once and diagnosed Long Hao with rash pulse. He said that it was because of excessive fright, which caused both qi and blood deficiency. He prescribed a prescription for supplementing the body and then took it off.
Then a maid decocted Long Hao's medicine, served him and drank it, and then fed him a bowl of porridge.
This is the first time he has eaten this luxurious food, and it tastes really good. It seems that all wealth and honor are in the imperial family, and this sentence is indeed true.
Long Hao fell asleep in a short while after lying on the bed. Not only after a long time, he was suddenly awakened by a sob.
He opened his eyes and saw a young woman on the left side of the soft chair beside the couch in front of him, wearing silk, satin, jewelry and jade. She looked very attractive and charming, and her whole body exuded a noble temperament.
She cried in front of Long Hao, and was so sad. Long Hao guessed that this woman might be the original wife of King Wu.
Sure enough, Cui'er, who was serving Long Hao next to him, whispered: Madam, don't worry, the prince was just a little scared, and it would be cured if he took a few doses of medicine. Ah, look, the prince is awake!
When Long Hao saw that someone had discovered it, he hurriedly pretended to be very weak and nodded to the princess with a weak voice: I'm fine, madam, don't worry.
Since he arrived in this world, Long Hao discovered that his soul had been exchanged, and he had followed the local customs with his language, but his modern people's thoughts and memories are still preserved.
The woman stretched out her slender jade hand with concern and touched Long Hao's forehead. Seeing that it was not very hot, her nervousness just now was slightly relieved.
When her hand was pressed against his forehead, Long Hao truly felt the warmth and smoothness of her jade hands, and also saw her eyes, a pair of melancholy and pure eyes...
The princess sat in the bedroom for a while, and after instructed the maids and eunuchs beside her to take good care of the prince. She hurriedly left the bedroom for fear of disturbing Long Hao's rest.
Long Hao fell asleep in a drowsy manner again.
The emperor has been suffering from illness for nearly a month and is already in a terminal state. According to some imperial physicians in the palace, it is unlikely that the emperor will survive the end of this month and may die at any time.
Concubine Shu always wanted to make King Wu (now Long Hao) the crown prince, but the emperor kept hesitating. Although Concubine Shu was his most beloved concubine and King Wu personally preferred it, deposing the eldest son and establishing the young son was contrary to the ancestor's teachings.
Now there are three factions in the court fighting openly and secretly for the throne. One is of course the crown prince. He is the orthodox heir to the throne. He supports the crown prince and does not advocate the deposed elders and the establishment of the young. A faction is called the crown prince party.
The other faction is the King of Wu, with the support of Concubine Shu, who advocates the destruction of the elders and the establishment of the young.
Another faction was Zhang Chuan, the uncle of King Wu of Jin, who was also secretly planning to seize the throne.
The princess of the King of Wu was the daughter of the prime minister Dou Qian, so Dou Qian was also a supporter of Long Hao. He firmly advocated the destruction of the eldest son and the youngest son, which was a tangible relationship with his own interests. You should know that if the emperor and the king of Wu could not become the emperor, then the prince Zhang Huang ascended the throne in the future, he would definitely lose his official position and dismissal. If he didn't do it well, he would have to accompany his family.
In the past two days, Empress Shufei has been guarding Emperor Wuzong in the palace, and she will pass on her condition to outside the palace through informants at any time.
On the fifth day when Long Hao pretended to be sick, Prime Minister Dou Qian and Imperial Guard Commander Xue Zhaowu, two confidants, came to his bedroom to visit.
Dou Jing and Xue Zhaowu first asked Long Hao about his condition with concern, but Long Hao said that it was basically nothing serious.
Who knew that Long Hao had just said that he had recovered well, so the two of them asked him to go to the secret meeting room of the royal palace to discuss the plan.
This secret meeting hall is located in a basement of the main hall of the royal palace. Although it is a basement, it is built very spacious and bright, with scarlet carpets, with mountains and calligraphy on the walls, and octagonal palace lanterns hanging in the house. The decorations are as luxurious as the buildings on the royal palace, even more than that.
In the secret meeting hall, there is a carved dragon chair in the middle, with more than a dozen sandalwood chairs on both sides. When I came here, the house was full of people, including civil officials and military generals.
Long Hao knew that these people were all core members of the support of the King of Wu. It seems that some major measures will be discussed today.
He sat on the swaggering chair in the middle, with Dou Qian and Xue Zhaowu accompanying each other on the side seat.
First, Prime Minister Dou Qian said: Prince, everyone, I just received the news that Concubine Shu had secretly sent from the palace. Now the dragon body of the Holy Lord is very bad and will die in less than ten days. So the Empress wants us to prepare. Now it is the critical moment to seize the throne. Do you have any good ideas?
Xue Zhaowu took over the conversation and said: Everyone, I roughly analyzed the current situation of the troops in the capital. My Imperial Guards have 30,000 people, responsible for the security work in the palace and some security patrols in the capital. Crown Prince Zhang Huang has a guard regiment with 23,000 people, mainly responsible for the security work of the emperor and the three palaces and six courtyards. The King of Jin controls the garrison troops in the capital, with 15,000 people. This is a comparison of strength in the city.
In addition, there are 200,000 imperial guards who defended the capital. These troops are stationed in the four towns around the capital, and they are all directly dispatched by the emperor. It can be said that they remain neutral and do not tend to be any faction, although all factions are fighting for the support of the imperial guards.This is the current comparison of strength between the parties fighting for the throne. Although we have the advantage in military strength, the prince’s guard team is very strong in combat, and it can be said that it is evenly matched with us. The King of Jin has been watching, probably hoping that we will compete with the prince’s two factions to win the benefits... This is the current situation, it is very complicated!We have to think of a complete solution to help the prince ascend the throne as soon as possible!
Long Hao listened to Xue Zhaowu's joking analysis and said that he was too big. The situation in the city is really a bit complicated. He felt that he was sitting on the crater and could erupt at any time.
Once the struggle between all parties becomes public, then either the fish will die or the net will be broken!
After Xue Zhaowu's speech was finished, the advisers and generals under Long Hao began to discuss, chattering and arguing, but no one could come up with a foolproof plan.
Some advocated fighting hard with the princelings, but unexpectedly, they caught him off guard: Some advocated trying to win over the King of Jin to help the King of Wu seize the throne; some advocated sending a martial arts master to stab His Highness the Prince to death, so that the King of Wu can inherit the throne with justification.
These solutions seem simple, but they are actually very difficult to implement.
Fighting hard with the princelings is likely to cause both losses, which is a reckless man: it is also difficult to win over the King of Jin, because King of Jin is also planning to seize the throne: assassinate the prince, which is even more difficult. There have always been a group of high-skilled martial arts guards around the prince, and it is not that easy to kill him.
Just as these counselors and generals were talking and there was no consensus, the secret door of the secret room opened, and the two personal bodyguards of the King of Wu, Zhang Meng and Zhang Xiong, flashed out of the door.
Zhang Meng first saluted Long Hao, then turned to Xue Zhaowu and said: Lord Xue, I have figured out what you asked me to investigate!
Xue Zhaowu's eyes lit up and said in a deep voice: Let's talk quickly!
Long Hao's mother, Concubine Shu, is the most beloved concubine of the emperor today.
The general who has always been inseparable from Long Hao is the confidant general of the King of Wu and is also the commander of the Imperial City Imperial Guard. His name is Xue Zhaowu.
