Riding the Pheonix Chapter 559: Guess

Wen Xiuyi picked up the kettle, filled the cup with boiling water, then placed the tea, brewed it, and ordered the tea. Her movements were skillful and elegant.

"Your Highness, please." She extended her hand to signal.

The second prince was confused and intuitively stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup in front of him.

He carried it several times, but because his hands were shaking too much, he spilled half the cup before he could drink it into his mouth.

Finally, the second prince put the teacup back on the table, raised his head and asked, "Sir, I am just a prince who has been deprived of his title. I am only a little bit better than a useless person. If you say so, it is too much. !"

The second prince is not a fool, how can he not understand the meaning of Mr. Hong's words.

To reach the sky in one step, this is to plot rebellion!

The second prince has never thought about it this way. All along, he has been thinking about how to win over Jiang Sheng and become the prince himself. Now that he has lost power, all he can think about is how to please the emperor and make him change his mind.

Mr. Hong’s words shocked him, but he couldn’t help but think about it.

It is extremely difficult for a prince who has lost his title to gain power again. If he can really get it right in one step, then he...

His heart was racing and he couldn't restrain his thoughts, so he could only calm himself down by asking questions.

Mr. Hong smiled lightly, "Your Highness, don't you dare to think about it?"

"I..." The second prince suppressed his heartbeat and tried to say calmly, "This is impossible! Even if my father went to the palace, and the military power of the capital is not in my hands, how can I do this? What's more, Yichun The palace is not far from the capital, and it only takes one day for my father to get the news."

The second prince became timid when he thought of the emperor.

Mr. Hong said, "Your Highness underestimates yourself. You have gathered a lot of talents under your command, but they haven't been put to use yet!"

"But, but..."

The second prince was in a state of confusion. He had made friends with many people before, but the ones he could recruit were either young ministers or those who had no ambition. The emperor still wields all the power, and he is not the crown prince. How can those old-timers in the officialdom take a stand? He said that he had tried hard to win over the seven Prime Ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, but he could not win over any of them.

Mr. Hong said with a smile, "Is Your Highness willing to trust Hong? In a few days, His Majesty will leave Beijing, and we don't have much time to plan."

He paused and then said, "Besides, we also have a benefit. Who would have thought that you would have the guts to make this decision? This is called surprise!"

……

A few days later, the emperor's decree came down and he visited Yichun Palace.

In the harem, the imperial concubine and concubine Hui accompanied her. In the court hall, many important officials accompanied him.

The news came out, and a message was delivered to the Yue Prince's Mansion.

On that day, Yang Shu asked Shang Mingwei to go to Xuandu to watch.

At night, they met Fu Jin, who had been hiding in the back mountain for several months.

"Mr. Fu." Duofu came forward, took his cloak, hung it up, twisted a hot towel and handed it over.

Fu Jin washed his face, wiped his hands, sat by the fire with hot tea in his hands, and said, "It's really very cold this winter. No wonder His Majesty went to another palace to escape the cold."

Yang Shu replaced the hand stove with new charcoal fire, sealed it carefully, pushed it to Mingwei, and said, "Is this the reason why sir came out of confinement?"

Fu Jin looked at the hand stove a little jealously and said, "Intuition, something big is going to happen."

Yang Shu raised his eyebrows.

Probably because his eyes were too hot, Mingwei looked down and pushed the stove over, "Sir, please warm your hands."

Fu Jin was satisfied and asked them, "Is it your own idea to go to the palace, or is it someone else's?"

Yang Shu and Mingwei looked at each other and said, "It was Concubine Hui who suggested it."

Fu Jin nodded, "No wonder. Our Majesty is keen on being a diligent and benevolent king. He has not been to the palace for more than 20 years. There should be a reason for this sudden idea."

"Sir, we also discovered one more thing." Mingwei told the story about Wen Xiuyi, "...We stared at it all night. This Miss Wen didn't leave the house until the next day. She thought it was with Er The prince plotted all night."

Fu Jin was surprised, "I have only been living in seclusion for a few months, and such a famous person actually appeared?"

Ming Wei said, "I am basically certain that this Miss Wen is a Xuanshi. She went to the palace to accompany Concubine Hui, and then sneaked into the palace to meet the second prince in the middle of the night. There must be a conspiracy here. I just don't know her. What is her origin? It is impossible for an expert of her level to be recruited by the Second Prince at will. I wonder if there is someone behind her."

Practice mysticism is a very boring thing, so really powerful mysticians often live in seclusion and practice quietly. Those who like to wallow in the world of mortals have a hard time enduring loneliness.

Therefore, the profound scholars recruited by the princes and nobles can only reach the level of first-class masters at most, and cannot enter the top level.

Wen Xiuyi can disguise herself so perfectly. After Mingwei weighed it, she felt that her strength might exceed that of a first-rate master. When it comes to Xuandu Temple, it is at least the level of Yuyang.

Can the second prince recruit such a master to serve him? Mingwei didn't believe it. If she had not had her own goals, she would never have been able to work for His Royal Highness the King of Yue.

Fu Jin nodded while listening.

After Mingwei finished speaking, he closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table, seeming to be thinking.

No one else dared to disturb him.

After a while, Fu Jin finally opened his eyes and said, "Let's figure it out. First, Concubine Hui encouraged the emperor to go to the palace. Second, Miss Wen next to Concubine Hui was a master. Third, Miss Wen took advantage of Meeting the second prince at night."

He paused and said, "Are we sure that the emperor went to the palace because of the second prince's intention?"

Yang Shu nodded.

Fu Jin asked the next question, "So~IndoMTL.com~What does the second prince want to do when he takes the emperor out of the capital?"

Mingwei said, "Concubine Hui was ill earlier, and the second prince finally got the opportunity to leave the palace, and the emperor was relieved a lot. From this incident, it can be seen that Concubine Hui was doing her best for her son and wanted to get rid of him." Come out."

Fu Jin went on to say, "Your Majesty took away half of the court, but left King An behind and asked him to temporarily take charge of government affairs. This was not only a test, but also paved the way for the establishment of the crown prince. This is not the case for the second prince. A little benefit."

Yang Shu thought of something and said, "No, there is an advantage."

"Oh? What did Your Highness say?"

Yang Shu said, "If you move the tiger away from the mountain, the capital will be half empty. According to the art of war, we can attack it."

Mingwei didn’t understand for a moment.

Attack? Who will attack? You can't just lead Chu to attack, right?

Fu Jin understood immediately, clapped his hands and said, "That's it! Your Highness, good! Good!"

Yang Shu spread his hands and said, "I thought Sir would think I was too daring to think."

Fu Jin smiled and said, "I like the way His Highness dares to think! If you don't dare to think, what are we doing here? When it comes to status, we have no chance of winning compared to the second prince."

At this point, Mingwei also figured it out.

She was surprised and said, "How dare they?"

Fu Jin said slowly, "It's not surprising that a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry. Aren't we the same? We have made so many preparations. If there is no possibility of peacefully ascending to the throne in the end, then we will shed blood and sacrifice."

Mr. Hong thought that this idea was so crazy that no one else would think of it. But he missed one point. It was impossible for Yang Shu to ascend the throne according to the ordinary path, so they were always prepared. The same principle can be applied to the second prince, right?
