Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 448

[Chapter 448]

“Hahaha…” In the

Yanxi Palace, Zhao just came here accompanied by the eunuch who was close to him after he came down from court.

The sad look on his face disappeared instantly, and he couldn’t help laughing.

“Mother, this time the baby’s throne is safe.” Zhao Gang said wrongly to Empress Xie without complacency.

Sitting in the main seat, Queen Xie frowned when she heard the words, and scolded: “How can you say that he is also your father, now that he is in trouble, how can you be so happy, if it spreads, let that old dog Dou Wei know, She will gossip again in court.”

Then she stood up and came to Zhao Gang, and straightened his clothes, “You have to sit firmly on the throne in order to be free from any scruples. Before you take the throne, you still have to be careful. ”

Yes, Queen Mother.” Zhao Gang nodded, but still couldn’t hide the joy in his eyes.

The third prince is now a useless person, and the second prince is trapped in Xiancheng with his father.

Among the current princes, no one can compete with him anymore.

This throne is not his, but whose.

After the new year, he will be thirty-five years old.

After waiting for so long, it was his turn to take the throne.

Otherwise, when will he wait?

Empress Xie saw Zhao Heng’s expression, and she said: “Duplicity, although the third prince and the second prince can’t compete with you at the moment, but don’t forget that the fifth prince Zhao She has been dishonest during this time, and Liang Kai was lying in the capital. A lot of money has been used to win over officials for him, which means that the order is fighting for reserves.” After a

pause, she continued: “The power of the Ma family has been greatly weakened by the eight major families, so there is nothing to fear. The Fan family is far in the southwest and has influence in the court. Very little, the combination of the Dou family and the Xiao family, and the combination of the Han family and the Wang family are not to be underestimated, but the Liang family has cultivated the south for many years, and some time ago they came up with the art of casting cannons, I am afraid it is very hidden, so be careful Dealing with it is.”

Zhao Gang didn’t take it seriously when he heard this, “The queen mother is confused, don’t tell me that the food in the world comes out of Xie’s house, and now the king of Yan is also ours, so I’m afraid they will do something.”

Empress Xie shook her head, “How can the distant water quench the near thirst, If the capital is in chaos, King Yan’s soldiers and horses cannot fly over, and if they want to pass through the territory of the Han family and the Wang family, they must agree, right?”

Nodding Zhao Gang’s head, she continued, “Furthermore, after you ascend the throne , King Yan is a serious problem after all, and King Yan may not really help you. At present, the Xie family and his King Yan are just borrowing each other’s strength. You are not confused.”

Zhao Gang laughed, “Mother, you are too underestimating the child After all, Queen Mother of Yan’s family is only a commoner family, and when my general ascends the throne, how can I let him sit firmly in Yanzhou.”

Empress Xie nodded slightly.

After sitting for a while and chatting some gossip, Zhao Gang got up and left.

When the news of Zhao Heng’s figure was heard, Empress Xie’s eyes flashed with a stern look, “Your Majesty, you have been greedy for sex and love all these years, and it’s nothing more than accepting concubines every year. Now you actually favor a lowly prostitute. This time the Northern Expedition will bring her back to you!” It’s what you deserve to be around.”

Decades have passed, and she and Zhao Heng have long since lost the love they had back then, and on the contrary, they have had a lot of grievances over the years about the prince.

For her, the most important thing is that her eldest son can ascend the throne as emperor.

This is not only for Zhao Gang, but also for himself.

There are fights among the princes, and there are also fights in the harem.

Concubine Dou, Concubine Han, some of them are easy to get along with.

If their son ascends the throne, they become empress dowagers.

How can she have a good life in the future.

Thinking of this, her eyes became more determined, and she found her younger brother after a while.

If Zhao Heng really couldn’t come back, the matter of Li Xinjun would be within this month.

“Congratulations, Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty.”

Here, as soon as Zhao left the Yanxi Palace, the eunuch Gao Wei who accompanied him bowed fiercely to him, his face full of flattery.

Since ancient times, one person attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven.

This is the truth that every eunuch who follows the prince understands.

Now Gao Wei seems to see a great future ahead of him.

Wasn’t the chief executive, Liang Cheng, just an eunuch who served the emperor before?

But at the moment, besides him, there are other eunuchs in the prince’s mansion.

In order to stand out in the future, he must please Zhao Gang.

“Hahaha, sensible.” Gao Wei called the emperor, Zhao Gang seemed to drink honey.

Gao Wei saw Zhao Gang’s expression in his eyes, and became more and more proud.

An idea can’t help popping up in his heart, this method will definitely make Zhao Gang even more happy.

…

De Wangfu.

This is the residence of the third prince.

Dou Wei came here in a hurry after leaving court.

The news that Zhao Heng was trapped in Xiancheng is now estimated to be known to all the nobles in the capital.

It is impossible for the third prince not to know.

Therefore, he needs the first time to comfort him.

After all, most of the officials now tacitly agree that the eldest prince will succeed to the throne.

When Dou Weiyi entered, he saw the third prince who had been waiting in the front yard.

Hastily stepped forward, the third prince said: “Uncle, what’s going on in the hall now? How do you plan to deal with it?”

Dou Wei then told the third prince what he thought.

“After the court, I discussed with Xiao Cheng. If the emperor is really captured by Beidi and goes north, he will join hands with his Xiao family to send you to the throne.” Dou Wei said.

Xiao Cheng is currently the Great General of Dasong Township.

This title is not just because of being a powerful family.

It was Xiao Cheng who led the forbidden army and the soldiers of the Xiao family to repel the invading Tubo many times back then.

After that, the Nanman who caused chaos in the south of Yizhou was pacified.

In order to commend his achievements, Zhao Heng bestowed on him the official position of General of Zhen Guo.

After coming to the capital, Xiao Cheng and Yang Feng jointly took charge of the Forbidden Army.

Yang Feng commanded the Si Zuowei in front of the hall, and Xiao Cheng commanded the Si Zuo guard in front of the hall.

He can mobilize at least half of the current 100,000 imperial troops in the capital.

With such support, it is not that easy for him, Zhao Gang, to ascend to the throne.

“If there is General Xiao, this matter will be half done.” Hearing this, the third prince heaved a sigh of relief.

Although he is now disabled.

But he was married in his early years and had a son under his knees.

Now, he has no fun for the rest of his life, and the only thing he cares about is the throne.

Even if he can ascend the throne for one day, he can pass the throne to his son.

“Uncle, if great things can come true, I will agree to any conditions.” Zhao Mu held Dou Wei’s hand tightly.

Patting Zhao Mu’s hand, Dou Wei said softly, “I’m your uncle. If I don’t help you, who else can I help?”

Seemingly thinking of something, he frowned again, “But apart from the Xie family, I’m afraid there is another Trouble.”

“Uncle is talking about the Liang family?” Zhao Mu asked.

During this period of time, the Liang family was very active, and changed their previous attitude of not participating in the battle for the crown prince.

Dou Wei nodded, “You don’t need to worry about this matter, our Dou family and Xiao family are still the most powerful in the capital, and his Liang family can’t make big waves.” The

two said something more, and Dou Wei returned to the mansion.

Immediately, he sent people to Wuguan to keep an eye on the movements of Xiancheng, looking for opportunities to contact Beidi secretly.
