Chapter 580: The princess who has the upper hand
The eldest princess thought that since Yang Ze led his troops into the city, he would definitely attack the palace, and other places were not worth occupying. Only by capturing the heart of the imperial empire, Yang Ze could control the situation and even kill her and Li Zhenglong, as well as all those who opposed the great prince Li Yan.⊥
She didn't expect Yang Ze to give up the palace and go to burn her house. For the eldest princess, what is the point of whether her house is burned or not? It's just a big house, which can be rebuilt. If Yang Ze wasted time on burning the house, then when she ascended the throne and counterattacked, Yang Ze would not be able to be cut into pieces without being cut into pieces.
Li Zhenglong thought exactly the same as the eldest princess, but he was a little reluctant to stop Yang Ze. He still wanted to stay in the hall. Looking at the appearance of Queen Dugu, it was probably only a matter of time before his death. If he went out to stop Yang Ze, then during this period, Queen Dugu passed away, wouldn’t the eldest princess have to inherit the throne? Not to mention wasting a few hours, even a quarter of an hour would be enough to produce several wills, so he was unwilling to leave at this moment.
Seeing that Li Zhenglong agreed reluctantly, the eldest princess said again: "Go and go quickly and return quickly. She prepared three thousand armored soldiers at Xuanwu Gate. Yang Ze brought all cavalry. If she wanted to attack Xuanwu Gate, as long as the armored soldiers fired arrows, would the barbarian soldiers riding horses still hide in the city? As long as they were on the city wall, they could not escape the bows and arrows. Sanlang, you are a martial artist, and you will not understand the common sense of military knowledge that even your aunt knows."
Li Zhenglong nodded again. Of course he understood what the eldest princess said, but he was afraid that Yang Ze could not catch up from the city wall, so he led his troops down the city and took the detour to attack other gates of the palace. Could it be that he would have to take his troops to block the door again? The wasted time would be too long!
However, it is not the time to turn against the eldest princess, he can only obey the orders. Li Zhenglong said: "My nephew is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid that the soldiers and generals from the Xuanwu Gate will not obey his nephew's orders!"
Those Lang generals are all the princesses. Can you listen to him? It’s still a little while to say it!
The eldest princess smiled, took a jade pendant from her waist, and said, "Sanlang, if you take your aunt's token and show it to the soldiers and generals, they will obey your orders. Don't worry, as long as you go to block Yang Ze, how can those soldiers and generals not obey your orders?"
The meaning of the words is, don’t have bad thoughts. Those soldiers and generals can only be taken by you to block Yang Ze. You can’t even think about other uses.
Li Zhenglong naturally understood the meaning of the words. After taking the jade pendant, he said, "Nephew will stop Yang Ze now. Never let this beast approach the palace." After that, he strode out of the hall and rushed towards Xuanwu Gate.
When Li Zhenglong's back disappeared, the eldest princess spat gently and thought to herself: "Even if you are a traitor, you will still drink my foot wash water... Well, you have drunk my foot wash water, which is also your honor."
When she thought that as long as her mother died, she could ascend to the throne and become the next queen, the eldest princess couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart. She forced herself to suppress the joy in her heart and slowly walked to the inner hall, wanting to see the situation of her mother Dugu Queen. Mother, how could you persist so much? It's time, but she still doesn't die yet, which makes the child anxious to wait.
Before the eldest princess could enter the inner hall, a guard suddenly ran in. At this time, the palace was completely controlled by the eldest princess, and the person in charge of the notice was no longer the little eunuch, but the eldest princess's guard.
The guard said, "Your Highness, Wu Youren, the Minister of Personnel, brought a group of ministers to the palace. He was blocked at the palace gate. Seeing that he could not enter the palace, Wu Youren actually wanted to ring the Jingyang Bell. My subordinates came to ask Your Highness whether to cause an accident and kill Wu Youren!"
The eldest princess closed her eyes and said, "Isn't my second brother's residence already destroyed? Don't Wu Youren know about this?"
The first thing she did tonight was to send someone to kill the second prince. She had no feelings for her second brother. If she wanted to kill, she would send someone to kill him. Of course, even if she had feelings, under the throne, the relationship between brother and sister was worth half a penny. But since the second prince was killed, why would Wu Youren jump around? Without a backer, what's the point of Wu Youren jumping around? He has no one to support him!
The guard shook his head and said, "He should know about this, but why he still came and made such a fuss, but his subordinates don't know."
The eldest princess narrowed her eyes, and she suddenly felt that she was about to ascend the throne, but if this glory and authority were not visible to the former enemies, even the glory of glory seemed to lose a little color. She suddenly didn't want to kill Wu Youren, and wanted Wu Youren to see how she looked when she ascended the throne, so that Wu Youren begged at her feet and beg for his life!
The eldest princess said, "Gu understands that he has lost his backer, but he still jumps around like this just to let Gu know how loyal he is. As long as Gu sees him and comforts him, he will turn to Gu and serve some hard work. In this way, he can save his life and maintain his official position. Maybe he can become a famous minister in the future. He is really a good plan!"
The guard smiled and said, "Although my subordinates don't know what Wu Youren is thinking, judging from his angry look, it's probably that's the case. He really plans to betray the Second Prince and betray it so quickly!"
The eldest princess snorted and said, "When Gu Zhao entered the palace, I don't know where he ran. Now he is back and he takes the initiative to go into the palace to see Gu. Okay, let him come in, and the ministers who followed him are also coming in together to be a witness for Gu."
When the Queen Dugu passed away, if she wanted to ascend the throne and become emperor, she would have to have a will. In order to prevent others from saying that the will was fake, at least some ministers had to act like a witness or something. Although these were not necessary, some people were better than not.
The guard agreed, turned around and quickly walked out of the hall to find Wu Youren.
After such a interruption, the eldest princess didn't want to enter the inner hall. For some reason, she was actually a little afraid of seeing Queen Dugu. This fear was inexplicable. She was just a dying old woman. Although she was the queen and her mother, so what? She was a dying person after all. What's there to be afraid of!
But the eldest princess swallowed her saliva and felt a little sorry for her mother. If she hadn't stopped her and refused to persuade Queen Dugu, if Queen Dugu could take less elixirs, she might not have died so quickly!
Standing alone outside the inner hall, the eldest princess didn't stretch her feet and entered the inner hall. She just made an excuse for herself. She wanted to see Wu Youren, so she didn't go into the inner hall first!
Outside the palace, Wu Youren was so anxious that he jumped straight away. He was going to be recruited into the palace before, but he was afraid of being assassinated, so he ran away. But now he couldn't run away and had to come back again. But he didn't dare to come back by himself, so he took some help.
The second prince must have been killed. He never thought that the eldest princess was so cruel and ruthless. She could even blatantly harm her own second brother. No matter what, the second prince was once an emperor. Although she is now a fairy and a believer, she looks like she wants to become a monk, but she is her second brother after all, so why can she do this?
As a civil servant, Wu Youren was not too old and became the Minister of Personnel. Although he became the Minister of Personnel under such special circumstances, he also believed in his abilities very much. However, it was precisely because of his literati thinking that he did not believe in martial arts, and even looked down on the military generals in the court. He even scoffed at the eldest princess and Li Zhenglong for desperately recruiting dead soldiers.
To seek the world, we should use open conspiracy. Only in this way can we convince the subjects of the world and sit firmly. Even a powerful figure like Empress Dugu, did not end up abdicating the throne to her by abdicating her son, nor did we say that we could seize it by force. The Xuanwu Gate Incident in the previous dynasty was also a coup made by the former emperor. No one among the princes could match, and because of unfair treatment, he launched a coup. But even so, after gaining the throne, there were still countless people questioning that the former emperor was worried about the wrong position throughout his life.
The plot is so important, but why did it turn into a conspiracy when the princess is at the dark side? He actually sent someone to the Taoist temple to kill the second prince's family. According to the news that the second prince's family should have been killed. Not only did the second prince die, but the second prince's children also die. This is the greatest queen!
Wu Youren deeply regretted that he was still too kind and kind. He never expected that the eldest princess was so despicable and cruel. As a result, not only did he kill the second prince, but he was about to be killed.
How could he sit and wait for death? Wu Youren was never willing to admit defeat and immediately contacted his own party members. Although they were all new officials, there were dozens of them. They could be considered a sturdy person together. They came to the gate of the palace and asked to come to the palace to meet the saint.
Wu Youren has made plans. If he cannot participate in the will, he can only fight. Anyway, the eldest princess will never use him. His future has come to this point. A real man must have power for a day. If his future is gone, what's the point of living? It's better to die together. He has a dagger in his arms. As long as he can see the eldest princess, he will be assassinated. Since he wants to play a conspiracy, let's play together!
Of course, if the eldest princess still let him be the Minister of Personnel, then he is still willing to serve the court. It doesn’t matter who he is loyal to, and gaining power is the most important thing.
The new officials following Wu Youren all had a pale face. Unexpectedly, they bet on the wrong person this time. Wu Youren was so useless and did not protect the second prince, which made the second prince's family suffer. It seems that Wu Youren is unreliable. Since that is the case, should they immediately capture Wu Youren and present it to the eldest princess?
However, catching Wu Youren is not a great achievement, and Wu Youren has no intention of running away, so even if he dedicates this guy to the eldest princess, he is afraid that he will not be able to abolition their great sin for supporting the second prince!
Wu Youren didn't know that the officials behind had the idea of betraying him. He was just thinking about his own affairs. Suddenly, the small side door of the palace gate opened and a guard from the eldest princess's mansion walked out of it.
