Chapter 203 Conspiracy
Inside the Chuigong Hall in the Imperial Palace, Cheng Wuya, dressed in black, was bowing and reporting to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, the King of Qin has not been living in the palace in the city for many days. Every two or three days, he would visit the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Works to inquire about the progress of material preparations, and then leave the city to the Moyun Cavalry Camp.
Even the Princess of Qin had not been in the palace in the capital for many days. Except for the time she showed up with the Prince of Qin at the dock when seeing off the Luo family, she had been living in the farm west of Luo's palace all the time.
The Mo Yun Cavalry Camp and the farm west of Luofu City were both heavily guarded. When a few people from the Imperial City Bureau sneaked in to investigate, they disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea.
Therefore, what exactly are the King of Qin and the Queen of Qin doing? My subordinates have not found out clearly. "
The emperor pondered for a moment, and a dark and cold light flashed in his eyes!
“If that’s the case, there’s no need to investigate.
The King of Qin was just busy training his troops and preparing supplies. Anyway, the place where he was going to die was arranged on the battlefield during the Northern Expedition.
As for the Princess of Qin, she was just a woman, a brainless fool who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. Her farms outside the city were just workshops for producing those highly profitable products.
After the King of Qin is eliminated, the silly princess's lucrative businesses will become part of the palace's treasury, so let her do the work for me for now."
Cheng Wuya raised his eyes and secretly glanced at the emperor, and flattered him with a knowing look, "Your Majesty is wise and intelligent, and has made every possible plan. After the death of the King of Qin, the properties belonging to the silly princess will naturally be taken over by your Imperial Household Department along with the huge and profitable properties of the King of Qin's Mansion."
The emperor stroked his beard and thought happily: "Of course! I treated the Prince of Qin as a prince, and he has no offspring. Of course, the tempting properties of the Prince of Qin's mansion belong to the royal family."
As for the silly princess's highly profitable industries, they must be counted as part of the Qin Palace's industries and should also be owned by the royal family.
That beautiful and unique silly princess can be hidden and played with for a few days before being dealt with.
I wonder if this beautiful, innocent, and mentally handicapped beauty would have a different kind of charming charm compared to the charming little Zhou Hou of Li Yu, the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty? 】
Wang Jie'en stole a glance at the blush on the emperor's face and the lustful look in his eyes, and curled his lips in disdain in his heart!
[Your Majesty! I know what you are planning better than the worms in your stomach.
No matter how lustful you are, don't you think that the silly princess is your niece's wife?
If this secret of incest gets out accidentally, the image of a wise ruler that you want to be the greatest emperor of all time will become nothing more than a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water!
No matter how diligent you are in government and how much you love the people, and how much you surpass Emperor Taizu in civil and military achievements, this stain will be passed down through the generations and will never be erased! 】
Wang Jie'en secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to persuade the emperor.
As the most intimate eunuch of the current emperor, he deeply understands the emperor's personality and character. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, especially a cunning, suspicious and ruthless tiger. The most important thing is to save your life.
Wang Jie'en, who lowered his head and secretly complained, caught a glimpse of the emperor's gaze turning to him, and was frightened!
He quickly put himself in a good mood, bent over and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty is wise and intelligent, with a broad mind, and has a plan and tactics that are beyond the reach of Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period.
Concubine Li Xian only bought 20% of the shares in the silly princess's perfume shop, and she has reaped huge rewards in the past few months.
If the lucrative industries that the Qin Palace has been planning for many years, plus the industries of the silly princess's highly profitable products, are all acquired, within two or three years, your treasury will be filled several times."
The emperor was flattered by Wang Jie'en and laughed out loud! The haze of the pain of losing two sons in a row also dissipated at this moment.
After a burst of triumphant laughter, the emperor was in a good mood and ordered calmly: "Call Pan Mei and Wang Quan back to the palace. I want to discuss the details with them!"
Wang Jie'en bowed and accepted the order, then went out to convey the decree.
After the emperor sat down at the imperial desk, he looked at his confidant Cheng Wuya and asked, "Lord Cheng, have you contacted the senior brother from Liao again?"
"Reporting to His Majesty, I have contacted you. Although Senior Brother Han is an official in the Liao Kingdom, his determination to avenge Master is as firm as mine!
The Qin King's master threw our master into the abyss, and his internal strength was destroyed and his tendons and veins were broken. He lived in secrecy for several years, hiding in the Jiguana Cave to practice supreme magic skills.
Master finally succeeded in his magic and found the door to immortality. But in the end, King Qin teamed up with the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor to kill our master, and the immortality technique failed and could not be presented to His Majesty.
If I don't take revenge, I won't be worthy of being your disciple!" Cheng Wuya said at the end, his voice was cold and resentful, like a devil from hell!
The emperor looked at Cheng Wuya, who was gritting his teeth, and secretly wondered if there was any water in his loyalty.
After Xuan Yinzi, the culprit in the strange case of missing children in Jiangnan, was executed, Cheng Wuya confessed to me that he was Xuan Yinzi's last disciple.
He kept saying that Xuan Yinzi was practicing a Taoist technique that could lead to immortality. If he succeeded in his practice, he would first offer it to me, the true emperor.
Who doesn’t want to live forever?
In pursuit of the elixir of life, Qin Shi Huang not only ordered Taoists to refine elixirs, but also ordered Xu Fu to lead three thousand boys and girls to the fairy island overseas to search for the elixir of life. What a huge amount of financial and human resources!
If Xuan Yinzi had really glimpsed the secret of immortality, wouldn't I be able to... But all this was ruined by King Qin, it's really hateful!
After the plan for the Northern Expedition was decided, Cheng Wuya confessed that Han Bei, an important official of the Liao Dynasty, was once Xuan Yinzi's eldest disciple and his senior brother who studied with him.
Regardless of whether Han Bei is still loyal to the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, their determination to join forces to get rid of the King of Qin and avenge their master Xuan Yinzi should not be false.
In this case, since we have the same goal, I will join forces with them to get rid of the King of Qin first.
Fortunately, I am wise and intelligent. After establishing the secret agency of the Imperial City Department, I ordered the imperial master Wei Qianjiu to secretly establish the Mysterious Mirror Department. When you use Cheng Wuya, this vicious dog, in the future, be more cautious of him. If you find that he is out of control, just get rid of him secretly! ...
When Pan Mei and Wang Quan arrived, Cheng Wuya tactfully left. As the head of the secret service, he knew that the emperor was too suspicious and that there were some things that he shouldn't know that he had better not know.
Pan Mei is also a famous general with outstanding military achievements. He is meticulous, shrewd, good at judging the situation, and has the trust of the current emperor.
His legitimate daughter married the third prince, Prince Xiang, Zhao Heng, and became in-laws with the emperor, making their relationship even closer.
After the second and fourth princes died suddenly, the eldest prince also became insane. The third prince, who usually kept a low profile, naturally became the heir closest to the throne.
This made Pan Mei, the father-in-law of the Third Prince, secretly very ambitious. He was determined to help his son-in-law ascend to the supreme throne. As a result, the Pan family would be blessed and protected, and become extremely wealthy.
Wang Quan was a very opportunistic person. With his flexible mind and the ability to flatter superiors and bully subordinates, he had been very successful in his career in recent years.
Before the emperor appointed the main generals for the Northern Expedition, he had conspired with the two of them. So, what was the main task of the commander and supervisor of the Western Army? They both knew it well.
The emperor ordered the eunuch to give the two men a seat, and then he got straight to the point: "Lord Pan, Lord Wang, I summoned you to the palace today to discuss with you how to find an opportunity to get rid of the King of Qin during the Northern Expedition."
Wang Quan felt extremely excited to be trusted by the emperor and to have this opportunity to become extremely rich!
"Your Majesty! Don't worry. I am an amateur in fighting, but when it comes to plotting and scheming against people, I can be as good as ten Zhuge Kongmings.
In this battle, I will not only use the sharp sword of the King of Qin to win a few victories for the emperor, but I will also use an open plot to get rid of him beautifully!" Wang Quan, who was eager to take credit and express his determination, boasted a lot.
Pan Mei was standing by and secretly complained with disdain: This villain who only knows how to seek personal gain and use all means to play tricks and schemes, is he comparing himself to the wise Zhuge Kongming? Is Zhuge Kongming a villain who relied on scheming and framing the generals in the army to gain credit?
However, as for the matter of framing and eliminating the King of Qin, I can let this villain who is only bent on making merit take the lead, so as to avoid leaving a stigma in history.
It would be best if we could get rid of that reputation and the invincible General Yang Ye, the Golden Sword, and then I, Pan Mei, will be the most famous general in the Song Dynasty in the future.
"Your Majesty is extremely wise. He has chosen Lord Wang, who is full of strategies and loyal, to be the military supervisor. We will surely get rid of the King of Qin in this battle!" Pan Meilian complimented the emperor and Wang Quan together.
