When Chen Ziang was developing in full swing in the Jiangbei Province, the capital of the Far East Dynasty was also undercurrents.
The old emperor's health deteriorated day by day, and he was in a state of coma most of the time, and he was no longer able to govern.
All military and state affairs are handled by the crown prince, the crown prince. He also seized the time to take advantage of the opportunity of power to cultivate his own power.
With the assistance of Hu Ziyang, the former general of the frontier army, the prince has completely controlled the imperial guards guarding Gyeonggi, and has expanded it wantonly, becoming the military force he relies on.
At the same time, there are Prime Minister Wang Huchen of the left and Yan Jing of the investigation department in the court as right-hand men, suppressing dissidents and installing cronies, and all government offices are now bowing their heads to the prince.
Previously, the crown prince established a certain majesty by eradicating the Yang family and other military families in one fell swoop.
Now that the old emperor can't be a director, and he is in power, the fourth prince and other people who are capable of competing for the throne are also panicked.
Because these princes who can compete for the throne know very well that once the prince ascends the throne, they may lose their lives in order to eradicate those who threaten the throne.
The mansions of the fourth prince and others have been strictly monitored by the prince, and no disturbance can escape the prince's eyes.
Facing the situation of almost house arrest, the Fourth Prince and the others were having trouble sleeping and eating. After all, no one knew when their heads would fall to the ground.
"Fourth Highness, we can't sit still!"
The fourth prince's staff also knew that the fourth prince's current situation was precarious.
Once the old emperor is in heaven, the prince will have no scruples, and it will be the death of the fourth prince.
If the fourth prince dies, these henchmen will also be purged by the prince, so the staff members know it well.
Now they and the fourth prince are completely like grasshoppers on the same rope, they both prosper and lose.
Now the crown prince has not yet fully controlled the situation, and he still needs to put on a pretense and present an image of benevolence and righteousness to win over all forces.
Once the crown prince ascends the throne, when the power is stable, he won't have so many scruples.
"Now that the crown prince has taken control of the imperial guards, even if I want to compete for the Ninth Five, I'm afraid it's already too late."
Facing the persuasion of his staff, the fourth prince also felt powerless.
Now that the Imperial Guard has gone through several rounds of expansion, its soldiers are strong and strong, but he does not have an army that can be used now, so it is difficult to compete with the Imperial Guard.
"Fourth Highness, the imperial guards are nothing to worry about."
"As long as we kill the prince, you will be crowned the great treasure, and the raw rice will be cooked, will the imperial guards still be able to rebel?"
"At that time, you only need to give ranks to the generals of the Imperial Guard. They will definitely not fight you desperately for a dead man."
"Then what do we need to do now?"
"Now we only need to lead an elite team into the palace and behead the prince. The prince's gang will surely be leaderless. When the time comes, we will be able to deal with the prince's gang."
"But now all the troops supporting me are outside. I only have a few hundred guards in the mansion. How can I break into the imperial city?"
After hearing what the fourth prince said, the staff also showed a smile, because the fourth prince didn't want to sit still.
"Your Royal Highness does not need to worry about the strength of the troops."
"The prince dealt with the military family. Dozens of military families including the Yang family and the Lu family were uprooted by the prince. Their family property also became the prince's private property and became the capital for his military expansion."
"The surviving military families are also panicked, worried that the prince will deal with them after he ascends the throne, so they have secretly asked, as long as your highness raises your arms, they will definitely help you."
After hearing what the staff said, the fourth prince also stood up abruptly, with hope on his face.
Military families are all military generals and heroes who founded the country. They have a tradition of advocating martial arts, and each family has kept countless elite family private soldiers.
Once these elite family private soldiers can gather for their own use, it will be a very powerful force.
Anyway, now he has been forced to the cliff by the prince, and he may not be reported at any time.
Instead of doing nothing, he led an elite army into the palace, beheaded and killed the prince, and seized power by force.
"What do they want?"
The fourth prince is also an intelligent person, knowing that these military families will not support him unconditionally, there must be conflicts of interest.
?The aide said: "Your Highness, heWe are willing to support you, Your Highness, and we also hope that after you become a great treasure, you will be more lenient to them because of the fact that their military family has been the imperial court for generations. "
Because of the lack of military expenses and the arrogance of the military family, the prince decided to beat the mountains and shake the drums, and then killed the Yang family and others.
It's just that Yan Jing of the investigation department under his command deliberately magnified the matter in order to be able to increase his rank and rank, causing dozens of military and military families to be implicated and their families ransacked and exterminated.
The original intention of the prince was to beat the mountain to shake the drum, but now because of the magnification of the matter, everyone in the military family was in danger, so he decided to switch to the fourth prince and bring down the prince who made them sleep and eat.
Hearing that the military family only wanted to protect themselves and ensure their prosperity and wealth, the fourth prince also nodded. This condition is not too much.
"Go and contact them as soon as possible. As long as I am crowned the Great Treasure, everything about them will remain the same, and meritorious ministers will be rewarded." The fourth prince thought for a while.
"No¡ª¡ª"
Seeing that the Fourth Prince had agreed, the staff members were also very happy.
Once the fourth prince is able to ascend the throne, they will also ascend to heaven and enjoy the glory and wealth.
The prince almost put the fourth prince under house arrest, which made the fourth prince feel a serious crisis.
Instigated by his staff, the fourth prince decided to put all his eggs in one basket and venture into the imperial city.
Like the fourth prince, the military and military families, who had trouble sleeping and eating, were also hostile to the prince, so the two hit it off and decided to cooperate.
As a member of the royal family, the fourth prince, although he has no soldiers in his hands for the time being, is the pure blood of the old emperor.
The military family has huge power in their hands, what is lacking now is a reason to launch, otherwise, they will be rebelling.
The fourth prince is making intensive preparations, and the military families living in the royal capital are also secretly gathering their private soldiers.
The military families first assembled their family private soldiers in their manor on the outskirts of the capital to stand by.
Then, in the name of escorting food, transporting goods, etc., they were transferred to the mansions in the capital city in batches.
Because each time they are small-scale, so that the imperial guards guarding the king's capital did not notice it at all.
The royal capital has a large population, and there are countless caravans and pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate every day, and it is difficult for the imperial guards to notice that those private soldiers from military families are entering the city in batches.
"My lord, the Tian family, the Yu family and other military families have had some changes in the past few days. Their private soldiers are gathering in various names to Zhuangzi outside the city and the mansion inside the city."
The imperial guards guarding the royal capital did not find any clues, but as the sharp-nosed eagle dog under the prince, the investigation department discovered the situation and immediately reported to Yan Jing, who was in charge of the investigation department.
Yan Jing, a newly-rising young official, is now the prince's right-hand man, and holds several positions, all of which are important positions and have high positions.
"How many military families are involved?"
Yan Jing is no longer as impetuous as before. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he remained calm.
"Preliminary statistics show that there are more than forty companies."
"Hmph, gathering private soldiers in the capital, could it be that they want to plot rebellion?" Yan Jing snorted coldly.
"Who have they been in close contact with recently?"
"The fourth prince's aides have been very active these past few days, frequently entering and leaving the mansions of various military families."
"It turns out that the fourth prince is playing tricks behind."
Yan Jing's head turned quickly, and he quickly guessed the whole story.
"My lord, the joint efforts of the fourth prince and the military family should not be underestimated. Should we inform the imperial guards to act first?" the subordinate asked for instructions.
"There is no need to notify the imperial guards, gather our elite forces, and wait for the fourth prince and the others to jump out before taking action."
Since Yan Jing said so, his subordinates immediately understood that he wanted their investigation department to take the credit alone instead of giving the credit to the Imperial Guards.
