At this moment, in the Imperial Palace, from the officials of the provinces to the palace maids and eunuchs, there were discussions everywhere.
"Today, the Saint is taking the examination of the princes, and His Highness, the Ninth Prince, is the first!”
"I heard that the Sage will fulfill a condition for the person who ranks first. As long as it's reasonable and legal, he can fulfill it!”
"If I were His Highness the Ninth Prince, I would definitely be conferred the title of King. Only by being conferred the title of King would I have the right to fight for the throne and have the chance to inherit the throne!”
"I don't know what His Highness the Ninth Prince is thinking. He only wants justice!”
"The six officials of the Secretary Department, the ones who taught His Highness the Ninth Prince, have all been handed over to the Ministry of Justice. They will be punished according to the crimes of disobeying the decree and deceiving the emperor.”
"Not only that, I heard that in the past three years, there have been many people who bullied His Highness the Ninth Prince. I counted the number of people. There are more than a hundred people, and all of them have their heads removed!”
"There's a Xiao Li from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When he went to deliver the decree today, he slapped the Ninth Prince's servant and spoke rudely. He didn't address the Ninth Prince as His Highness but as Langjun.”
"This is the idea of that palace maid, Little Lady Wu. His Highness the Ninth Prince also nodded in agreement!”
"I can't afford to offend you, I can't afford to offend you!"
A storm of blood suddenly erupted in the Imperial Palace, and everyone immediately felt threatened.
Although he killed eunuchs and palace maids, it was an alarm to everyone.
The illegitimate son of the royal family, the Ninth Prince, Li Dun, was no longer the same as before!
He had suddenly become rich and powerful, and was favored by the Emperor alone!
The signs of becoming a king were unstoppable!
However, at this juncture, an even bigger piece of news shocked the imperial court.
————
In the side hall.
With Li Dun's approval, the young girl Wu Zetian excitedly followed Si Shoushou and the others to watch Xiao Li and the twenty palace maids and eunuchs execute them.
Li Dun was alone in the hall, discussing a major matter with the emperors in the chat group.
Ying Zheng: " Meeting, everyone!”
Originally, Ying Zheng had mentioned the court meeting, but it had aroused the dissatisfaction of Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a bad temper. What was the court meeting? That was what the emperor and his ministers said. In the group, except for Li Dun, everyone was an emperor, so they did not agree with this title.
Only when Li Dun changed the court meeting to a meeting did the emperors agree.
The First Emperor: "Er (I) will first throw out a brick to attract jade. In order to kill Li Shimin, this melon skin, the society will (say) how to make him rebel!”
"The first step to rebellion is to have money and food!”
After Ying Zheng started the conversation and Liu Bang started the conversation, the few emperors joined in with great interest.
Zhao Kuangyin: " Money can be earned slowly, but there must be soldiers. How did Li Shimin mutiny at Xuanwu Gate?" He had the Heavenly Policy Manor, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, and Yuchi Jingde. The group leader had nothing. So what if he was as rich as a country? Without a powerful army, it was impossible to make bricks without rice!”
"That makes sense!”
Zhu Yuanzhang: " Other than that, you also need to have a reputation. Only then can you have a good cause and make the world believe you. The soldiers will follow you to the death and the hearts of the four seas will return!”
Nurhachi: " How can this be enough to be the emperor? It was not easy to conquer the world, but it was even more difficult to defend the world!”
Liu Bang refuted," Since ancient times, the army and horses have always been the first to move. Without food, how can we feed so many people? Without money, how can we achieve great things?" Accumulate food, build high walls, and slowly become king. This was the way of an emperor!”
"That's not true! With sufficient rations and money, that would be the time when the wolf's ambition would be revealed. At that time, who wouldn't know what you were up to? If he wanted to make Li Shiming rebel, he had to catch him off guard!”
Zhu Yuanzhang: " The grain and fodder are so abundant. Isn't it reasonable to have a large number of soldiers and generals? I feel that one must first have a reputation and use justice to counter strangeness. It will be like cutting through bamboo. No matter how big the actions of the small people are, they will be like mantis trying to stop a chariot!”
During the first group meeting, the discussion was heated. However, after a long debate, they still could not agree.
Liu Bang chose to make himself rich before doing anything.
Zhao Kuangyin and Tiemuzhen thought that they should first develop the tiger and wolf army.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the hard truth was that everyone wanted him.
Nurhachi felt that he had to recruit capable ministers first.
The First Emperor didn't say a word, quietly listening to everyone's opinions. No one knew what he was thinking.
Li Dun also listened quietly, feeling that what everyone said made sense.
Everyone's starting point was different, and their views were naturally different. However, no matter what, no matter which strategy was used to the extreme, it would achieve the goal that all emperors hoped for.
"What do you think, First Emperor?" Li Dun asked curiously.”
Ying Zheng said,[They are beating around the bush. According to what I mean-]
"Just scatter (kill)!"
Li Dun and the five emperors sent text messages at the same time in a bad mood.
Ying Zheng said,[(*^▽^*) Is this kid worth teaching?]”
Li Dun held his forehead with a helpless expression. He shouldn't have asked for his opinion. Everyone knew the First Emperor's temper. How could he beat around the bush? He would definitely choose the simplest and most effective way to solve this problem.
" Your Highness, bad news!!!"
At this moment, a cry of surprise sounded.
The girl ran into the hall in a panic and stood in front of Li Dun, panting. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw Li Dun write seven big words on the paper with a pen from the corner of her eye.
The possibility of rebellion!
At the bottom, there were more than ten small words written: Troops, provisions, advisors, reputation, salted fish king.
The young girl looked at Li Dun in astonishment and said,"Eh? Rebellion?"
She could understand the first few words, but what puzzled Wu Zetian was that at the end of the text, there were actually three words, Salted Fish King. What did this mean? It didn't match rebellion.
Li Dun put away the paper and smiled awkwardly."I'm just writing for fun."
The first few words were the countermeasures that the emperors had thought of, while the last one was his current thoughts. Although it was not impossible to rebel, it was a trap for now. Who knew how long it would take?
It would be better to do as Liu Bang said.
Store up food, slowly become king, build high walls!
First, he would become a salted fish king, then he would plot something else!
After chatting with the emperors for a long time, Li Dun helplessly realized that the ideology of this group of people was changing him imperceptibly. Originally, he only wanted to be a salted fish, but now he had actually begun to explore the direction of the emperor.
Write rebellion?
Wu Zetian looked at him strangely. When did His Highness 'thoughts become so novel?
"Group Leader!"
Suddenly, Ying Zheng sent a message: " Ask this little girl, see if she has any opinions. She wants to hear what the future queen of our group has to say!"”
Li Dun's interest was piqued and he asked if she had any suggestions.
"This servant feels that there is no need to trouble yourself.”
Wu Zetian pondered for a moment and said,"As long as Your Highness kills those princes, Your Highness will be the only prince left in the Great Tang. Not to mention the Crown Prince, even the throne can only belong to Your Highness!”
Liu Bang was speechless.
Zhao Kuangyin was speechless.
"..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
Nurhachi was speechless.
Ying Zheng: "(*^▽^*) Beautiful, very beautiful, I finally found an emperor to talk to. This girl called Wu Zetian, ha (bad) I like her!"!”
