As long as his plan is implemented, there is no reason for it to fail.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this month, all three wives seemed to be pregnant.
This delighted Sun Jian.
They suddenly had three children, which truly carried on the Sun family line.
After being diagnosed with pregnancy, the three of them stopped going out and instead focused on taking care of everything at the Sun residence.
Sun Jian would occasionally visit the imperial court to discuss countermeasures with Li Chengxian.
The term of regency is about to end, but there has been no movement.
"Does that mean they've already given up?"
Li Gancheng stroked his chin, his face full of confusion.
"Give up my ass, they call this waiting in comfort for the enemy to tire themselves out."
"Generally speaking, this is when people are most relaxed, and also when they are most prone to problems."
"However, although their plan is ingenious, both you and I, as well as His Majesty, must have heard about it."
"Although we don't know what methods they will use, once we leave the palace, we will almost certainly face certain death."
"Your Highness, have you thought this through?"
Sun Jian spoke slowly.
If only he dies, it may be insignificant, but if the Crown Prince and he die at the same time, the entire Cao Bureau will be thrown into turmoil.
“If I don’t let the wolf into the house, how can I live a stable life? Brother Sun, I want to see if they have the ability to do so.”
After returning home, all sorts of intelligence were sent to Sun Jian's residence.
After analyzing the intelligence sent from various places, he took out a map and marked it with circles and dots.
A location was eventually determined.
"There is a high probability that this is a uniquely advantageous location."
If Sun Jian hadn't been a time traveler and didn't have a system, he would definitely have run into problems. But with the help of these two things, he was able to master all sorts of military strategies.
It is also more capable of anticipating the enemy's moves.
Because he was very familiar with all kinds of military strategies and tactics throughout history.
If the Second Prince's group wanted to deal with them, they certainly wouldn't act near the capital, because that would be too dangerous.
They will most likely choose a place that is at a reasonable distance.
Later that night, Sun Jian summoned Gu Hu.
Gu Hu is now completely devoted to Sun Jian.
After giving instructions, Gu Hu, though not understanding why, still carried them out.
During the day, he had already given instructions to the two commanders of the Imperial Guard.
With the Imperial Guards and the Tiger Legion, his own martial prowess alone was enough to take on a hundred men.
Sun Jian then lay back in his chair and went through all the plans in his mind.
This time, if we want to eliminate the threat completely, we have to offer ourselves up as bait.
If there is a mistake in one place, the whole game will be lost.
At that time, not only will he die, but his three wives will also meet their doom.
For his own sake, as well as for the crown prince, his three wives, and his children, Sun Jian racked his brains to come up with a foolproof plan.
After staying up for most of the night, Sun Jian finally fell into a deep sleep on the recliner.
The following day, Crown Prince Li Gancheng served as regent for the last time.
Just then, an inconspicuous minor official raised a question.
“Your Highness, the people are now questioning whether His Majesty is in good health. I think it would be good for Your Highness to tour the countryside. This would not only reassure the people, but also allow them to get to know Your Highness better.”
Upon hearing the words of this minor official, Crown Prince Li Gancheng sneered inwardly.
It seems Sun Jian was right after all; they hadn't forgotten, but were waiting for the perfect opportunity.
If I hadn't known about this beforehand, I probably would have gone out with them.
Without any preparation, there can only be one outcome once you go out.
"Father is just a little tired and has asked me, the Crown Prince, to oversee the country. There's nothing seriously wrong with him. In that case, I'd like to go out for a walk myself."
"Your Highness, you are of noble birth, how can you go in person? Let this old man take you there."
At this moment, Li Gancheng's men also noticed something was wrong and quickly spoke up.
"These people are looking at His Majesty and the Crown Prince. Go and see what's going on. Do you intend to usurp the throne?"
Upon hearing this, the court fell silent instantly.
For a moment, the ministers who wanted to speak up for the crown prince were speechless.
After all, nobody wants to be accused of treason.
At this moment, Li Gancheng spoke up with a smile.
“This matter is indeed unusual and requires my personal attention. How about this, I will go out incognito without anyone else following me, and reveal my identity after I have understood the basic situation.”
Li Gancheng smiled slightly.
"Your Highness is wise. The people near the capital are alright, but those in the remote areas feel..."
The minister didn't finish his sentence.
Li Gancheng nodded slightly, knowing what he wanted to say, and said nothing more.
After he was ready, he approached Sun Jian to work together.
"The place this group found is pretty much what I expected. It's a good distance from the capital, not too remote, and the many mountains make it easy to ambush them."
"Brother Sun, I entrust my life and fortune to you."
"If this doesn't work out, we'll still be brothers in our next life."
Upon hearing Li Gancheng's words, Sun Jian's face darkened, and he kicked him to the ground.
"Can't you say something nice? I'm not dead yet."
Li Gancheng got up without caring at all.
"Let Chang Le and Tai Ping stay in the palace; it's safer that way."
"That's right, there are Imperial Guards in the palace, and no matter how powerful they are, they can't break through."
“I also let my three wives live in the palace, so they can look after each other.”
After the two had discussed it, Sun Jian brought his three wives to the palace.
Although Chang Le and Tai Ping liked Sun Jian, they were still a little timid when they first met the three wives.
This is similar to how a concubine in ancient times would not dare to speak when meeting the wife.
Because their positions are fundamentally different.
After settling in, Sun Jian, along with Li Gancheng and some attendants, set off for Shanglin County.
Shanglin County is neither too far nor too close to the capital, only two days' journey away.
And too many unexpected things can happen in these two days.
When they arrived at Shanglin County, they found that the people of the county did indeed believe, as the official had said, that the emperor was about to die.
After Li Gancheng revealed his identity, he stayed there for two days before the people's doubts were dispelled.
Although it is unknown who spread the rumor, once it takes hold, it may not be good for the situation in the future.
After resolving matters here, Sun Jian deliberately chose to travel during the day.
Unfortunately, just as they were about to set off, Sun Jian suddenly sensed danger approaching.
