Chapter 837 Life Simulation - Palace Change
"However, since you have come this far as a prince, it would be strange if you have no ambition." Pei Xuanjing had a curious look in his eyes.
Judging from the Ninth Prince's visit to Pei Xuanjing, it seems that this prince is quite ambitious and has his own plans, and will not act exactly as the old emperor expected.
However, in Pei Xuanjing's view, this is a matter of course. No matter whether the Ninth Prince is active or passive, he has no way out at this point. Now that he has participated in the battle for the legitimate son, no matter what his original intention is, This is true.
So if he can't win, he won't be able to wait for whether the second prince or the third prince will succeed in the end. In this case, he might as well fight for it himself.
"If this is the case, I'm afraid the battle for the throne will be even more exciting." Pei Xuanjing's deep eyes could not clearly see the joy and anger.
Whether it was before or now, Pei Xuanjing has always been a bystander. He has never participated in the fight for the right of birth, because it is not worth fighting for at all.
A mere mortal dynasty is really inferior to the Ming Dynasty. How can it be worthy of Pei Xuanjing’s efforts to fight for it? If it were a divine dynasty inherited from a true immortal, it might still be worthy of Pei Xuanjing’s fight.
For Pei Xuanjing, the visit of the Ninth Prince was just a small episode in his life. He didn't care about it at all, but for the entire royal capital, especially the Second and Third Princes who originally thought victory was in sight. Said, it is undoubtedly a side issue.
The rise of the ninth prince was supported by the old emperor. This was obvious to everyone. The two princes also knew that the rise of the ninth prince was a check and balance method devised by the emperor because of his fear of the two. .
However, knowing that you understand does not mean that you can endure it. The second prince and the third prince immediately took action to suppress the ninth prince, and the ninth prince was not to be outdone and fought back decisively.
The fight between the three princes has intensified day by day, and has even been openly expressed. They are fighting for power and criticizing each other. The situation in the entire Hong Dynasty is beginning to show some signs of erosion.
At this time, the enemy invaded, and the Ninth Prince once again led the army to go out. This was an excellent opportunity for him to gain military power, but for the Second and Third Princes, it was also a chance to catch him. Seize the opportunity to eradicate the opponent's wings. After all, the opponent has not been around for a long time, and the foundation is not that behind yet.
In one year, the Ninth Prince repelled the enemy army and returned to the court with meritorious service. However, it was really helpless that during this period, many of his supporters, helpers and allies in the court were also dismissed one after another.
The old emperor's health is declining, and the entire government is controlled by the second and third princes. It can be said that except for the army he is temporarily in charge of, there is no one available in the court.
Taking charge of the army is only temporary. Not to mention that no one in Dahong can take charge of the army for a long time. Even as a prince, he cannot take command of the army when he returns to the capital.
So, the Ninth Prince who was about to return to the capital knew that when his wings were completely weakened and the emperor was unable to take action, he returned to the capital where he handed over the command of the army. In one moment, it is his death.
The Ninth Prince did not want to die, especially since he had just ascended to a high position and tasted the taste of power. Naturally, he would not be willing to give up and die.
"In the current situation, His Majesty is dying. He is deceived by the second and third princes. He ignores the government affairs and returns to the capital, which is the day when His Majesty dies. In such a situation, the son does not know the father, and the father does not know the son. Under such circumstances, Wangdian We must put the overall situation first, clean up the court for the sake of Dahong's country, and give Dahong a bright future." This is the advice of the staff and confidants around the Ninth Prince and the many martial arts experts who have taken refuge in him. It also represents the advice. their thoughts and will.
For the Ninth Prince, returning to the capital this time to hand over command of the army meant being trapped and waiting to die. It was a similar situation for them, even if they were lucky enough to survive, they had lost their former glory and wealth.
So, these people are encouraging the Ninth Prince to take advantage of the fact that the victory is now returned to the court and the army is still under control for the time being.
The Ninth Prince agreed. In such a situation, he had no escape route and no other choice. He could only choose to launch a mutiny to seize the throne in order to be qualified to survive.
Today is just like in the past. No one would have thought that the Ninth Prince, who led the army to put down the rebellion of the Fifth Prince and then rose up to participate in the struggle for the right to inherit the throne, would also follow the same path of the Fifth Prince today, raising troops and planning. inverse.
However, the situation and opportunities of the ninth prince were far better than that of the fifth prince. At least he led the army back to the court without encountering any obstacles at all, and successfully brought tens of thousands of elite troops to the court. Outside the royal capital, the only last step left is to enter the royal capital and gain control of the royal capital to succeed.
The formation hub of the royal capital is the key thing. If you cannot gain control of the formation hub, even if your elite soldiers and generals control all parts of the royal capital, your opponents will still have a chance to make a comeback.
So at this time, the Ninth Prince took the risk to sneak into the Royal Capital in person and came to Taixuan Temple, asking for help from Pei Xuanjing, hoping to gain Pei Xuanjing’s support so that the Royal Capital could have The formation hub will not hinder you, and may even help you.
"None of this has anything to do with me. I am just a monk who is dedicated to the Tao." Pei Xuanjing did not directly answer the Ninth Prince's request, but expressed his neutral attitude with these words.
Yes, Pei Xuanjing had a neutral attitude. He did not participate in it, and he also had no intention of stopping the other party. Even though he was qualified to participate, Pei Xuanjing still let it go.
For Pei Xuanjing, he doesn't care who loses or wins. He has no obligation or responsibility to help any party because he has nothing to do with any party.
No matter who loses or wins, as long as he doesn't disturb Pei Xuanjing and isn't blindly arrogant enough to want to instruct Pei Xuanjing, Pei Xuanjing can let it all go.
And if someone is really ungrateful, then even if the opponent wins, Pei Xuanjing is fully capable of making the opponent fail.
After receiving Pei Xuanjing’s attitude, the Ninth Prince immediately did not have any worries and led the army into the royal capital. Before all parties could react, his elite army took over all areas of the royal capital. In a confidential place.
Facing the Ninth Prince's sudden attack, the Second Prince and the Third Prince were also caught off guard. They quickly dispatched their men and led their strong men into the palace with the intention of meeting the emperor and asking the Emperor to come forward and deprive the Ninth Prince of his military power to reverse the situation.
However, it is a pity that the Ninth Prince has already made preparations to set up obstacles on the opponent's only way into the imperial city and intercept and kill both parties.
