Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 316 To seize the throne, Guo Jia offers poison
Prince Qin's Mansion, Study Room.

Qian Yuan summoned Guo Jia alone, and asked, "Feng Xiao, what do you think is the most important thing to unify the mainland in the shortest time? What is the biggest obstacle?"

Guo Jia said without even thinking: "The throne."

"Huh?" Qian Yuan thought it would be a demon clan, "How do you say it?"

Guo Jiadao: "The demon clan is certainly a big threat, but looking at the comparison of the military strength of the empire and the demon clan, the empire actually has the upper hand. It's not that the empire has no army, but these armies cannot cooperate to fight."

Qian Yuan nodded.

As far as the imperial court is concerned, there are the Imperial Guard Army, the City Guard Army, the Dongjing Army, and the reorganized Northern Border Army. In the local area, there are the Wei Wang Army, the Chu King Army, and the Yan King Army.

In addition to the feudal Juntian Corps, Yantian Corps and other ministries, together, the size of the army exceeds 50, which is enough to resist the alliance of Zhulong Kingdom, Kraken and Beidi Kingdom.

But why has the stalemate remained unbroken?
The root cause is that these armies are their own masters and restrain each other. While resisting foreign enemies, they do not forget internal friction and guard against each other. They cannot be unified under the order of the court and cannot form coordination.

Failure is normal.

"With the current prestige and performance of the new emperor, it is already impossible to integrate all the ministries. But with the current prestige of His Highness, once he ascends the throne, he only needs to ascend the throne, and he will be able to respond with thousands of troops to fight against powerful enemies." Guo Jia bewitched. .

Qian Yuan smiled wryly.

He was very suspicious that Guo Jia was taking advantage of the opportunity to encourage him to "rebellion".

This is by no means what Guo Jia meant alone.

In fact, with the end of the First World War in Qingqiu Kingdom, many people in the fief have already made suggestions to Qianyuan, whether openly or secretly, euphemistically, or directly, all wanting to make a contribution to support him.

"But the new emperor is still sitting in that position, can I still drive him down?" Once he rebelled, then Qianyuan would bear the stain of killing his brother and seizing the throne.

Don't even think about scrubbing in your life.

Even an eternal hero like Tang Taizong has to be pointed out after his death.

How can Qianyuan be an exception?
Moreover, once Qianyuan rebelled and caused internal turmoil in the empire, if there was an improper operation that caused the empire to fall into civil war, wouldn't it give Zhulong Kingdom an opportunity to take advantage of?

If that is the case, Qianyuan will really become a sinner of the empire.

Guo Jia nodded and said, "So, the new emperor can only abdicate voluntarily to make way for the virtuous."

"That's impossible." Based on Qian Yuan's understanding of the new emperor, coupled with the current incompatible relationship between the two parties, even if the new emperor dies, he will not give up the throne.

That was his last fig leaf.

"It's a matter of human effort." Guo Jia seemed to have a plan in mind, "Xing Bu, the commander of the imperial guards, belongs to His Highness, and this is the biggest hole card. As long as it is done properly, it can be done."

Qian Yuan took a deep look at Guo Jia.

From this point of view, Guo Jia's so-called "voluntary" is simply to force the palace.

"What good strategy do you have?" Qian Yuan remained expressionless.

Guo Jia remained calm and revealed his plan in full.After hearing this, Qian Yuan fell into a long silence, before he waved his hands and said: "You go down first, let me think about this matter."

"Yes."

Guo Jia seemed to understand Qian Yuan's mood, and retreated silently.

On this day, Qian Yuan sat alone in the study, and did not return to the backyard even at night, and the people who served Qian Yuan were greeted by Guo Jia in advance, and no one dared to disturb him.

Qian Yuan sat in the study all night.

Early the next morning, Qian Yuan secretly summoned Lu Bing, the commander of the Black Guards, and handed the latter a porcelain bottle for Lu Bing to personally deliver to Jia Xu.

Guo Jia just smiled when he got the news, he knew that His Highness had finally made up his mind.

…………

Time to enter November.

As the cold current descended, the world was chilled, and the cold wind was bleak.

Just when the people of the empire began to clean up their mood and prepare to welcome another Spring Festival, on the fifth day of November, an explosive news suddenly came out from Kunwu County, which caused an uproar in the empire.

King Ganke of Chu died suddenly in the mansion.

It is reported that the king of Chu was neither assassinated to death nor showed any signs of poisoning. After falling asleep at night, he fell into a permanent sleep like that, which is really creepy.

At this juncture, the death of King Chu inevitably aroused various speculations.

Suspicious eyes first pointed to Qianyuan, the king of Qin, who was in full swing. In the eyes of many people, this was an aggressive move by Qianyuan in order to ascend the throne and become emperor.

For a time, everyone was in danger.

People seemed to be able to foresee that shortly after King Chu's death, the troops of the Southern Frontier Protectorate would rush into Kunwu County and Kuaiji County, occupying the two counties in one fell swoop, opening the prelude to another civil war in the empire.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Prince Qin's Mansion.

After the death of the King of Chu, the Palace of the King of Qin remained silent, neither came forward to refute the rumors, nor proved his innocence, but sent a member of the Palace Department, Wai Lang, to Kunwu City to express his condolences.

Whether it is the Juntian Corps or the Yantian Corps, there is no sign of any mobilization.

"The cat is crying and the mouse is pretending to be merciful. Let's see how long he can endure it." People's suspicions did not show any signs of weakening because of the inaction of the Qin Palace's army.

There seems to be a force in the empire that is fueling the flames.

…………

The capital of God, the imperial palace.

The moment he learned of the sudden death of the King of Chu, the new emperor Qian Shen felt a chill to the bones, and only one thought first flashed in his mind——Qian Yuan has made a move!

"This lunatic!"

That night, the new emperor stayed up all night and didn't even eat food, for fear of following in the footsteps of King Chu.

Followed,

The new emperor urgently summoned the Minister of War, War Soul, to discuss how the imperial court would deploy defenses to defend Zhongzhou once the army of the Qin Palace invaded and occupied Kuaiji County and Kunwu County.

To be honest, the fighting spirit was trembling with fear.

It's not that the war spirit is timid, it's that the Juntian Corps and the Yantian Corps are notorious, and the imperial court has no extra troops to fight against the Qin Palace.

Not to mention that the East Mirror Legion was held back by the Kraken, a part of its troops had to be allocated to assist the newly rebuilt Northern Territory Legion to resist the threat from the Beidi Kingdom.

The city guards were sent to the front line of the Candle Dragon Kingdom.

Looking up and down, only [-] imperial guards can be dispatched, but in this case, how dare the new emperor dispatch the imperial guards?Isn't that courting death!

That night, the monarch and his subjects were in despair.

It wasn't until three days later that there was no movement at Prince Qin's mansion, and the new emperor Qian Shen finally calmed down a little, and couldn't help wondering: "Could it be that the fifteenth brother did it?"

After all, everything before was his speculation without any evidence.

It was not only Qianyuan who had the motive to kill King Ganke of Chu, but also King Gantai of Wei, or even the spies of the Yaozu, or even Beidi Kingdom lurking in Dagan.

After all, once the King of Chu dies, the empire will be in chaos, and the Yaozu will be able to reap the benefits of fishing.

The new emperor Qianshen suddenly realized that this was really a god-given opportunity, an opportunity to completely discredit Qianyuan, which shows that in his eyes, Qianyuan has been regarded as the biggest threat.

Even if Qian Yuan didn't do it, then this pot of dirty water should be poured on Qian Yuan.

The new emperor Qianshen really couldn't forget the despair and embarrassment that night he and the war soul racked their brains in an attempt to extract a little bit of troops from that knot.

It wasn't until that moment that the new emperor really realized how great the threat of Qian Yuan was.

Therefore, regardless of whether Qianyuan did this or not, the new emperor will label Qianyuan as "killing his brother and seizing the throne", and transform Qianyuan from a hero of the empire into a villain who started the civil war in the empire.

Don't give Qianyuan a chance to stand up.

In this way, under the operation of the new emperor, as well as the acquiescence and even the support of the family group, the king of Wei, the king of Yan and others, a turbulent wave was rolled up in the government and the opposition, all pointing at the king of Qin.

The latter, however, remained silent.

Not only Qianyuan, but also the eight counties under the jurisdiction of the Southern Border Protectorate, the 10,000+ army, and more than [-] million people are keeping silent, as hard as a stone.

The people of Gein's fiefdom don't know what His Royal Highness King Qin is thinking, is he being wronged, or is he really going to attack the imperial throne?
No matter which one, the people in the fief will only support it unconditionally.

It's just that before Qian Yuan expressed his position, no one dared to talk nonsense, so he could only keep silent, and in the silence, it seemed that a force to tear the world apart was brewing.
