Chapter 454 Mobilization, Assassination, Chaos
Or... they have made some secret deal...
This kind of speculation makes all parties sit still.
First of all, something happened. The King of Jin immediately went to Wenqiu to meet with Yan Sheng and stayed behind closed doors. One day later, he suddenly issued a decree to send the eldest prince to the Wei-Jin border to preside over final negotiations and handover matters.
Once this incident came out, it was tantamount to causing an uproar.
The prince is about to be appointed, but the eldest prince is suddenly being transferred away. The signal here is extremely scary.
As a result, all parties took action quickly, and the entire Moling was undercurrent.
On the morning of the next day, news came that the eldest prince was going to the border to choose a good horse, but he accidentally fell and broke a leg. He had no choice but to ask the king of Jin to choose someone else.
Who else could there be? Only the second prince Sima Ji.
However, the decree was issued a little slowly, and it took two days to issue the decree. However, in the eyes of many people, it was a good thing that he had to leave within five days.
King Jin's behavior was immediately taken as a signal by many senior officials. It turned out that he had really changed his mind and transferred the eldest prince in order to successfully complete the matter of establishing the heir apparent. However, the eldest prince keenly sensed the ominous situation and broke his leg with one move.
Instead, he defeated King Jin's army and forced him to choose the second prince to go, otherwise the matter would become clear.
The King of Jin hesitated for two days before reluctantly issuing the decree, which also allowed people to see the candidate he was really paying attention to.
Unknowingly, the second prince had the upper hand in this battle for the right to inherit the throne.
Although he had to go to the border, as long as the King of Jin deliberately delayed, the matter of establishing the crown prince could still wait until he came back.
This series of information really made the big guys behind the scenes restless, and the situation seemed to be very serious.
So, several amazing things happened that night.
First of all, the eldest prince was assassinated. Fortunately, he was rescued by the dead soldiers and only suffered some superficial injuries.
Secondly, the assassin was discovered in the palace, and Zhou Quan, the deputy commander of the Royal Guards under the eldest prince, was dismissed from his post due to poor protection.
Third, Jiang Shu of the Xia Kingdom was assassinated, and the person who did it was accused and fled into the prince's mansion.
The three assassinations happened almost simultaneously. In everyone's opinion, it was obvious that the second prince had launched the assassination in advance because he did not want to be transferred out of the royal city.
The first two things are easy to understand, because the second prince is anxious. The third thing is simply to frame the blame.
However, for some unknown reason, these three assassinations were suppressed by Jin Wang Shengsheng and did not fully investigate them.
Now the situation is clearer, and King Jin is definitely paying attention to the second prince.
The court was in chaos, and memorials were presented like a snowflake. Although no one pointed out that the second prince was responsible for the incident, they all demanded a thorough investigation into the assassination.
Finally, seemingly unable to withstand the pressure, the second prince took the initiative to write a letter and rushed to the border immediately after Nangong's wedding.
As for the wedding day, which was the day after tomorrow, many people breathed a sigh of relief. Even if the second prince was very capable, he would not be able to make waves in two days in full view of the public.
Unexpectedly, one wave has not subsided and another wave has arisen.
Nangong Xin's fiancée Princess Sima Weiwei was kidnapped.
There was chaos all of a sudden. Some people couldn't help but wonder, was it the eldest prince who was fighting back?
However, one voice soon overshadowed the others. This must be the second prince's delaying strategy.
As a result, more people wrote a letter, saying that the border talks had reached the final stage and could not be delayed any longer, and begged the second prince to go to the border as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation. In desperation, the King of Jin had no choice but to order people to search for the whereabouts of the princess, and at the same time issued an edict, regardless of what happened next.
Whether or not the wedding will be completed on that day is a matter of national importance, and we must get on the road by then.
The second prince's last card was also frozen.
The consequences of his departure will be extremely serious. During his absence, as long as the ministers of civil and military affairs take turns to write letters to put pressure, the King of Jin will most likely change his tune.
The eldest prince was very happy. He didn't do anything, and the second prince forced him into a dead end. He broke his leg with a hammer, which was really a genius.
Nangong Xin was very annoyed. Even though there was a beautiful woman drinking wine with bare hands, he could not hide the angry look on his face.
"Lap Mole, you did a good job!"
Tian Mole almost snuggled next to him, "Young Master, I keep my word. As long as the second prince leaves Moling, your beautiful and beautiful princess, I will give it to you with both hands and guarantee that it will be intact."
Nangong Xin said angrily: "That's not what we said. I wanted you to find a way to frame Jiang Fan, but you actually... dared to attack Weiwei!"
"Hehe..." Tian Wan smiled charmingly: "Mr. Xin, have you never heard that a soldier never tires of deceit?"
Nangong Xin gritted his teeth and said: "You took advantage of the grudge between me and Jiang Fan to blame the second prince. You are trying to kill me!"
Tian Nao stretched out her slender jade fingers and stroked his face gently: "Don't be angry, you and that Sima Jing are just cooperating. You have huge wealth in your hands, who can't you cooperate with? Even Sima Jing is welcome.
That's right, as long as the slave family guarantees you in front of him and says that you instigated this matter, how can he ignore your favor?"
Nangong Xin snorted coldly and knocked her hand off: "Why do you want to help Sima Jing!"
Tian Mole chuckled: "Help Sima Jing? His rise to power is indeed more beneficial to us than Sima Jing. But this has nothing to do with me. As for the slave family, they just don't want to help Sima Jing."
Nangong Xin stared at her: "As you said, cooperation with anyone is not cooperation. Can't Mr. Ji give you what you want?"
Tian Nao said: "You are wrong. My purpose is to deal with Jiang Fan. Destroying his plan is the slave family's greatest pleasure. So, from this point of view, Master Ji can't help me."
Nangong Xin frowned: "I have a grudge against Jiang Fan, why do you have to deal with him?"
Tian Wan smiled and said, "Mr. Xin, you want to find out the secret? It doesn't matter. The slave family can tell you that he also has a grudge with me and ruined my good things in Xia Kingdom. This has made the relationship bigger. From this point of view, we can be regarded as allies.
Woolen cloth."
Nangong Xin said angrily: "You and I can completely cooperate, why use this method of tricking me!"
Tian Mole's smile made her branches tremble, and Nangong Xin was in a trance while looking at it.
"I wonder why you, who is known as the youngest and most promising head of the Nangong family, are still blinded by hatred. Didn't I tell you just now that it is good for our overall situation, but for me personally, it can avenge myself and kill two birds with one stone, so why not
No? Besides..."
She licked her scarlet lips: "I can also take out your money bag, so I kill three birds with one stone."
Nangong Xin stared at her: "Whose are you?"
Tian Nao said calmly: "If you don't belong to anyone, I am the owner of the farm. And my collaborator is no less powerful than the second prince, so why do you put your chips on one person?"
Nangong Xin punched the table in frustration: "How do you expect me to trust you? You don't even have a clear word!"
"You should know, you will naturally know that as long as we cooperate, you and I will be friends, good friends..."
As she spoke, her snake-like body moved closer. Nangong Xin could feel the smoothness and warmth on his arms, and his mouth felt dry for a moment...
Lap Mole's scarlet lips were close to his ear, and the tip of her tongue gently licked the side of his neck: "Think about it... this world is very big... If you cooperate with me, you will not only be planning for the Jin Kingdom...
"
