Chapter 284: Each with His Own Agenda (2)

"Are you saying that there are people around your majesty who want to emulate Zhao Gao, or want to emulate Li Si?"

"The King of Jin is not Hu Hai, and Cheng Qian is certainly not Fusu. No one can shake the Crown Prince. Once your majesty dies, no matter where the Crown Prince is, he will be able to succeed smoothly."

"It is much better for the Crown Prince to be in charge of the overall situation in Chang'an than in Cuiwei Palace!" said Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji had one more thing to say. According to his guess, Cuiwei Palace should be full of the Crown Prince's people.

Just look at the Chai Lingwu couple and Fang Yiai couple who shamelessly followed Cuiwei Palace, as well as some people from the King of Jin's party.

There would be no trouble at all, and it would be suppressed by the imperial guards here. Li Anyan is the prince's man.

Therefore, whether the prince comes to Cuiwei Palace or not will not affect the situation.

"Situ's words make sense! Maybe I am too suspicious!" Chu Suiliang said. He felt that what Zhangsun Wuji said made sense.

But is it really good for the prince not to come? Will he be criticized and accused of being unfilial and take the opportunity to make trouble?

Chu Suiliang told Zhangsun Wuji about his worries.

Changsun Wuji said: "You can rest assured about this. Aren't we old ministers like you and me assisting the prince?"

"Come, let's not talk about state affairs today. Let's drink tea, drink tea, and taste the taste of my new pre-rain tea."

Chu Suiliang laughed and stopped discussing. He drank tea and wrote poems with Changsun Wuji.

On the other side, Fang Yiai, Princess Gaoyang, Chai Lingwu and others were planning how they could support the King of Jin to the throne while the prince was far away in Chang'an.

"If we can help the King of Jin to the throne, we will be meritorious officials." An official of the King of Jin's palace said.

These people were all from humble backgrounds, did not have much ability, were of low position, and wanted to do something big.

To put it nicely, they are people with great ambitions but little ability.

To put it simply, they are a group of people with lofty ambitions but inferior skills, otherwise they would not be mixed up with Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu.

Princess Gaoyang quietly watched these little clowns perform to their heart's content, but she was very disdainful in her heart.

"This faction is a bit difficult, and we can't do it alone." A fat official said.

It's more than difficult, it's as difficult as ascending to heaven, and there is no hope at all.

"Even if there is a slight chance, we can't miss it. As long as Prince Jin ascends the throne, we are not afraid of not being prosperous and wealthy!" Fang Yiai said.

In fact, Fang Yi still wanted Li Tailai to be the emperor in his heart, but Li Tailai was far away in Taizhou and simply beyond his reach.

They had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and choose King Jin as the emperor. In short, they could not let Li Chengqian become the emperor.

"We all understand this, but what should we do?"

"The guards in Cuiwei Palace are under the command of General Li Anyan of Youxiao Guard, and Li Anyan is the prince's man." Chai Lingwu said.

"Li Anyan is the prince's man, but he is not the only general in Cuiwei Palace. The right general Du Mu and the left general Tian Ren are the men of King Jin."

"The left and right generals are all the men of King Pu. As long as we can attract the generals of the right guard, the left general, and the left guard, half of the guards will be ours." Fang Yiai said.

During this period, Fang Yiai was not idle. He had private dealings with these people. As long as he tried harder, he believed that these people would definitely turn to them.

At that time, they only needed to promise them high positions and generous salaries after they succeeded, and they would be able to attract them over.

"Li Anyan was the General of Zuo Xiaowei and served as the Lieutenant General of Zuo Xiaowei for more than ten years. If it weren't for the relationship with the crown prince, how could he become a general?"

"Not to mention being transferred from Zuo Xiaowei to You Xiaowei. After all, Li Anyan has been in Zuo Xiaowei for many years. I am worried that Zuo Xiaowei will not listen to us." Chai Lingwu said.

It is not surprising that he has such thoughts. After all, Li Anyan has been the Lieutenant General of Zuo Xiaowei for more than ten years. How could he not have trusted confidants? It would be difficult to turn Zuo Xiaowei against him.

"What you said is not unreasonable, but it doesn't matter. Even if the generals of Zuo Xiaowei are unwilling to join us, we can still pull the generals of other guards."

"In this way, we will have the power to compete with Li Anyan. This is just our first step." Fang Yiai said.

After listening, everyone nodded and felt that what Fang Yiai said made sense. As long as they had soldiers in their hands, the matter was half done.

At that time, as long as Li Er died, they could use these soldiers to restrain Li Anyan, and then immediately issue an edict to let Jin Wang Li Zhi ascend the throne as the new emperor. Before

that, they must have a force in their hands, otherwise they will be suppressed directly before they can issue an edict, which is not what they want to see.

"Li Anyan is quite capable and a good general. With him guarding Cuiwei Palace, even if His Majesty dies, we may not be his opponent. In the end, we are still not his opponent." Chai Lingwu said.

Although his martial arts are good, compared with Li Anyan, he is far inferior, which is what Chai Lingwu is worried about.

Otherwise, all their efforts will be in vain, and they will be accused of treason.

"Li Anyan is Li Chengqian's confidant. He is loyal to Li Chengqian and naturally cannot be pulled over, but we can get rid of him, so we don't have to worry about this problem!" Fang Yiai said.

He had no intention of letting Li Anyan leave Cuiwei Palace in anger. He would kill Li Anyan the moment Li Erji died and completely solve the problem of power transfer.

"When will we kill Li Anyan?" Chai Lingwu asked.

"No hurry. Now is not the time to talk about this. You should first pull the generals of other guards over. This is what we should do most right now." Fang Yiai said. "

What about the old ministers such as Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang?" Chai Lingwu asked.

This group of old ministers is also a force that cannot be ignored. If they can be won over, it will be a great help.

The most important thing is that without their help, it is impossible to correct the edict. In that case, even if they can help Li Zhi succeed to the throne, it will be useless.

Therefore, they must be persuaded to rebel, so that Jin Wang Li Zhi can inherit the throne smoothly.

"Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang are the key, and they must be pulled into our camp no matter what."

"I'll leave it to you to win over the generals of the various guards, while Chai Lingwu and I will deal with Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang. Do you understand?" Fang Yiai said.

"Yes!" Everyone responded.

After discussing some details, they dispersed.
