Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 164 Coup Plan
At this moment, the second prince was full of emotion, and flatly rejected the plan of killing his father and usurping power.

Li Ke chuckled, raised his glass and took a sip of the wine.

He looked at the second prince again: "When did this king say that I want you to kill your father?"

"what?"

The second prince swayed, and said in a daze, "Then what does His Highness mean?"

Li Ke stood up, walked to the side of the second prince, and said in a deep voice: "It is natural to seize power. Your father has been obsessed with the Meiji of Tubo and wants to save your Niboluo Kingdom. Only you, the second prince, personally take charge and change national policies..."

He looked at the confused second prince again: "But if you want to seize power, you don't have to kill your father..."

"Don't kill your father?"

The second prince's eyes lit up.

"Correct!"

Li Ke smiled: "Since your father is obsessed with women, let's grant his wish and let him spend his old age with those concubines in the deep palace, so that he can be a peaceful and happy Supreme King." It's..."

"The overlord?"

The second prince was stunned again: "But...but we Niboluo have never had such rules!"

Li Ke shook his head: "Rules are made by people, and you must know that there was a Supreme Emperor in my Tang Dynasty, isn't he still enjoying his old age in the palace?"

From the very beginning, Li Ke had already thought about this possibility. If the second prince could not persuade the king, then he would help the second prince seize the kingship.

Li Shimin successfully ascended to power by relying on the Xuanwumen coup back then, so Li Ke can naturally apply this method to Niboluo, and stage a Xuanwumen coup here.

The old king doesn't need to be killed, all he needs to do is lock him up in the palace and let him live in the old age.

And the second prince boarded the Dabao, and naturally he could successfully implement the plan to fight against Tubo.

At this moment, the second prince was still bowing his head in deep thought. Obviously Li Ke's idea had moved him, and now he no longer resisted as before.

"Just...is there no other way?"

After thinking for a long time, the second prince looked up at Li Ke.

Li Ke sneered and raised his head: "Don't you want to watch your Nipoluo fall under the iron heel of Tubo and be destroyed by the Tubo people?"

His voice was not loud, but it was deafening, which made the second prince tremble.

"Mind Explosion!"

This is the skill given to Li Ke by the system. This mind blasting skill erupted instantly, bringing together the negative emotions deep in the hearts of the second prince and Na Toli.

Under the urging of this skill, the second prince could no longer resist Li Ke's persuasion, and finally focused his head heavily.

"Then... what should we do? If we seize power now, I'm afraid Prime Minister Keti will object!"

The second prince asked again.

Li Ke nodded. Indeed, although the second prince has gradually suppressed the eldest prince, there is still the presence of that great minister Keti in the court.

And because of the objection of the second prince, the king cannot be killed directly.Therefore, the old ministers and generals headed by Prime Minister Keti will definitely not obey the second prince.

Li Shimin dared to launch the Xuanwumen Change back then because he had many die-hard supporters, and afterwards he also changed the entire court to eliminate dissident forces.

But now, although the second prince has gained the support of many courtiers, most of these people were bought recently, and their reliability is too low.The only one he can really trust now is the old minister Tolly.

Thinking of this, Li Ke couldn't help sighing that there are too many difficulties to face in this coup.

Li Ke sighed, and said: "It seems that we have to cut off the gangsters of the eldest prince and Keti before we can launch a coup. Otherwise, even if the coup is successful, I'm afraid we will encounter a strong counterattack from the eldest prince's forces."

Looking at the second prince again, Li Ke said quietly: "Since you don't want to kill your father, what if you kill your brother?"

Mosang must be killed. Once Mosang dies, the second prince will become the only heir to the throne.

Then when the time comes to launch a coup, it will only advance the time for the second prince to inherit the throne, and the resistance of the courtiers to this matter will not be so strong.

"Mossan?"

The second prince's eyes flashed brightly, he sneered, and said bitterly: "Mosang regards me as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, and he has plotted against me many times. If there is a chance to kill him, this king will wish for it!"

Li Ke nodded, so that he could figure out a general context.

If he wanted to successfully complete the plan, he had to kill the eldest prince Mosang first, and at the same time cut off the prime minister, Keti, and his henchmen. After the government was completely under the control of the second prince, he would enter the palace in one fell swoop and launch a coup d'état.

This thread seems to be clear and clear, but it is difficult and dangerous, which is really eye-catching.

Li Ke didn't stay any longer, he and Gu Wu quietly left the second prince's mansion and returned to his temporary residence in Nibala.

After returning to the small courtyard arranged by the eunuchs, Li Ke immediately transferred all the elaborators who had been placed in the territory of Nibera, and asked in detail about the basic situation of the eldest prince Hassan and Nakti.

From these elaborations, Li Ke learned that this Hassan is the heir of the king, and his status was originally higher than that of the second prince, but recently he was disliked by the king because he offended the Prime Minister of Tubo, and his domestic status plummeted.

Because the second prince kept accumulating wealth and buying courtiers, there were fewer and fewer people around the eldest prince, and the only one who still stood by his side to support him was the great minister Keti.

This Keti is an old man in the court, and has countless disciples in the Nivalo Kingdom, so he has some prestige.Because of his daughter's marriage to the eldest prince, he has been standing firmly by Mosang's side and advising him.

"Keti, how is he?"

Li Ke was very troubled by Keti, the eldest prince Hassan, he could have killed him, anyway, he was a violent and violent prince, so killing him would not have much impact.But Keti is different. He has a deep foundation in the court.If this Keti is moved, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for the second prince to control the court.

A detailed reply: "Keti is a man with some tricks. He did not support an alliance with Tubo in the early years, but later the king became close to Tubo, and Keti turned to Tubo and established contact with Tubo Prime Minister Shang Nang. The eldest prince The wool trade with Shang Nang was led by this person!"

Li Ke chuckled: "It seems that this person is a double-faced character, and he is very good at adapting to the wind..."

He planned in his mind, if he really killed Mosang, what would Keti's reaction be.

This result is hard to predict, after all, Mosang is Keti's son-in-law.Killing Mosang is tantamount to killing Keti's hope of becoming the head of the country.

But thinking about it the other way around, if Mo Sang is killed, if Ke Ti still wants to control the government, he can only turn around and support the second prince.

This pros and cons, the two situations, will have a great impact on Li Ke's follow-up plan.

Just as Li Ke was thinking hard, that meticulous work suddenly remembered something, cupped his hands and said:

"Your Highness, this subordinate saved a person a few days ago. Maybe His Highness can use this person!"
