Wei Mingxian felt that what General Wei said made sense, but the Fourth Prince felt that he was trying to shirk responsibility. However, due to personal feelings, he had to pretend that he understood.
"What the commander said is true, but this opportunity is rare. If we can take control of the imperial city first, capture the crown prince and queen, as well as Prime Minister Guo and his people, wouldn't we also be able to control the Tiger Guards? Then when the time comes, we can let my father pass the throne to me, and everything will be smooth sailing, right?"
Upon hearing the Fourth Prince's words, General Wei's eyes were filled with disappointment.
Choosing the Fourth Prince was a helpless move, and he turned out to be just as he had guessed, a person who could not be helped. His mind was as simple as the imperial concubine in the palace. Did he really think that the so-called "last will" would be useful?
Under the tyranny of power, not to mention a will, even divine punishment is of no use.
So the balance in his heart leaned more towards the other person, but his plan was not known to outsiders, so at this moment he could only speak perfunctorily to the Fourth Prince.
"Well, what your Highness said makes sense. So, give me ten days. Once I have arranged everything, I will tell the Fourth Prince. Then we can do as you say. How do you think?"
Having said this, the Fourth Prince's eyes were filled with blazing fire, as if the throne was just around the corner.
Then he spoke sincerely to General Wei.
"Don't worry, Commander. When this prince ascends the throne, you will definitely be the most important person in the court!"
The words sounded tempting, but unfortunately Wei Taiwei was already biased, so it would be useless no matter how big the pie he made.
The Fourth Prince was a little nervous when he came, but he was in high spirits when he left. After leaving the Taiwei Mansion, he did not go directly back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, but went to Baosheng Tower to bring Wei Jialian her favorite soft cheese puff pastry, looking like a loving wife.
But while he was still complacently imagining the future, another person was meeting in the Taiwei Mansion.
"Master Taiwei asked me to come here today, but have you thought it through?"
After hearing this, General Wei, who had just shown his displeasure in front of the Fourth Prince, bowed and said to Fu Yanhui.
"I have circled the tree three times, but there is no branch to lean on. I am grateful that Your Highness the Crown Prince has not abandoned me. I am willing to devote my entire family's strength to help the Crown Prince regain his throne!"
Seeing this, Fu Yanhui's usually gloomy look restrained a little, then he gave him a lift and spoke.
"The commander is indeed far-sighted. Now is a great opportunity. With the Fourth Prince as bait, let the Guo family fight him. This prince wants to see what kind of ability the descendant of the founding family who seized my world has!"
His aura is so strong that it cannot be compared to that of the Fourth Prince.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to control a figure like Kuang Yujun, so it is conceivable that he still has countless skills that have not yet been used.
Now that he has gained the strength of General Wei, it means that he will have another powerful general on his road to restoring his country.
And Wei Taiwei also knew that he was in a life-and-death situation with the Guo and Gu families. Instead of pushing an incompetent Fourth Prince to fight against the Crown Prince, it would be better to start anew.
The situation in the world is changing rapidly. Who knows what will happen in the next second? After leaving the Taiwei Mansion, Fu Yanhui returned to his own home.
From the outside, it looked like just an inconspicuous courtyard with two entrances, but the surrounding area had long been secretly bought by his people, and inside were also hidden the ministers who had entered Sui'an City with him to restore the country.
To them, Kuang Yujun was just an eye in Jinling City. After losing him and the forces in the south and north of the Yangtze River, Fu Yanhui was naturally hurt.
But as long as the base here is there, he can still make a comeback.
Therefore, the large-scale sweeps and inquiries carried out by Prime Minister Guo and the Crown Prince in Sui'an City during these days did not have any substantial impact on him.
Instead, it allowed him to take advantage of the opportunity to win over some of the ministers who were already wavering, thus increasing his strength a lot.
After entering the yard, he entered the secret room underground.
Here, there were already many counselors and generals who had been waiting for a long time. The most surprising one among them was naturally the Left Vice Minister of Jin.
"Your subjects have greeted the prince."
"No need to bow, everyone."
He was originally from the previous dynasty, and had worked his way up to the position of Shangshu in the court over the years, with the support and help of Fu Yanhui behind him. On the surface, he was on the side of the Fourth Prince, which gave him more suitable excuses when he was trying to win over court officials.
So over the past few decades, those who were truly capable and could be reused had already been instigated by him to join the forces of the previous dynasty, and those left for the Fourth Prince were nothing but a lot of noise with little results. Therefore, Prime Minister Guo and the Crown Prince also targeted those people and kept suppressing them, giving them enough real room to grow.
Of the ten people standing here now, except for the four who were brought here by Fu Yanhui from Shuzhou, the others were developed by the Left Vice Minister of Jin in Sui'an City. There are censors, military generals, and of course people from the palace.
Fu Yanhui looked at them, his face still gloomy as usual, without any big fluctuations.
"General Wei has clearly stated that he is on the same side as us, so Minister Zuo, take action when necessary. Remember to make a big fuss. This prince wants to cause chaos throughout Sui'an City!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Yes, Prince, rest assured, I will live up to your expectations!"
Hearing this, Fu Yanhui said "hmm". His tone was so calm that compared with the Fourth Prince, he was really a world apart.
In the secret room, everyone was doing what they were supposed to do in an orderly manner, while Fu Yanhui went to another place.
In the dark cell, there was a man who had suffered various tortures and was lying on the ground motionless. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, one would have thought he was dead.
"Splash it on him to wake him up."
"yes."
After hearing Fu Yanhui's order, the guard picked up the bucket beside him and scooped a ladle of water mixed with some wine. The person on the ground grimaced in pain as soon as the water touched his body. He gritted his teeth, opened his eyes and looked towards the light source.
This person was none other than Liu Xun, who had been tracking people northward.
Just because the people in the Seventh House are stupid, doesn’t mean that Fu Yanhui’s people are also stupid.
Therefore, the seven hidden guards who did not find any trace of Liu Xun along the way would have died long ago, and if it were not for Liu Xun's identity in the Tiger Guards, he would have already become a dead soul in the underground.
Now that he is still alive, it means that Fu Yanhui wants to use him to make something of him. After all, Gu Shaoyu has a wide reputation for loving his soldiers like his own sons. Even when his deputy general Luo Yuan died, he still went to great lengths to torment Kuang Yujun into that state. It is conceivable that in order to rescue Liu Xun from his hands, Gu Shaoyu must be able to bend and stretch.
Unfortunately, after taking a look at the person who came, Liu Xun said nothing, as if he was ready to kill or chop him up at will, which made Fu Yanhui think highly of him.
"If you were not from the Tiger Guards, I would have wanted to persuade you to defect. What a pity." (End of this chapter)
