Konoha Hypocrite Uchiha Tonan

"The Queen Mother's Ceremony."

The prince gritted his teeth and repeated it several times before saying, "There will indeed not be many guards at the Queen Mother's Ceremony, but how will we do it then?"

The young counselor said: "Your Highness, do you know who the guards at the Queen Mother's Ceremony are?"

"I will participate in the festival every year, so I naturally know it." The prince looked at him and said: "At the festival, there will be three hundred forbidden troops responsible for security and order, but these three hundred forbidden troops are not my private army. "

"But these 300 people are not the city patrol officers or the guards of Prince Xin's palace." The young counselor looked at him and said: "The Queen Mother's ceremony is at Cihuai Temple outside the city. Prince Xin will definitely leave the city by then, and it is impossible to bring too many with him. Guards, but these three hundred forbidden troops are loyal to His Majesty, as long as His Highness..."

The young counselor looked at the prince. Before he finished speaking, the prince had already understood. His expression moved and he said: "If I can control these forbidden troops, then won't King Xin be the fish on my chopping board?"

He walked around the hall and said: "Prepare the carriage. I am going to go find the Grand Tutor to discuss the matter... In addition, just in case, I will send someone to the inn to summon the second prince of those barbarians."

……

post station.

As the sky grew dark, the second prince got off the carriage and walked into the inn.

The middle-aged woman stepped forward and asked, "Why is the prince so anxious to find His Highness?"

The second prince walked into the room and said slowly: "The prince is finally going to take action. Once King Xin dies, as long as the Chu Kingdom is under his control, our army will have no worries."

Wan Yanyan asked doubtfully: "Second brother, you won't marry that princess?"

The second prince said: "Asking to marry Princess Changning is just a way to deceive and blind people. Although she is proficient in civil and military affairs, she can never be used by us. There are only two purposes for this trip, to destroy the Chen-Chu alliance and get rid of King Xin... "

"There's another one." Wan Yanyan looked at him and added: "It's best to take that man named Tang back and let him give us advice. If he cheats, we'll whip his ass with a whip..."

The middle-aged woman looked at her and asked, "What does the prince want us to do?"

"Before the prince takes action, he will ask the imperial guards in the city to close the city gate and prevent the soldiers from the city patrol department from rescuing. In this way, the three hundred forbidden troops from Cihuai Temple will be enough to capture King Xin." The second prince said at the table He sat down in front of us and said, "These 300 people are all the power the prince can use that day. Just in case, he asked our people to support him outside to ensure nothing goes wrong."

His eyes were slightly sharp and he said: "At that time, if King Xin dies and the prince's side is not harmed, it will be regarded as the icing on the cake. It can be exchanged for ten years of peace with the Chu State and unify all the ministries in one fell swoop. If both sides suffer losses, the prince of the Chu State will be killed." Also get rid of it easily. By then, Chu State will be in chaos. Chu State will be too busy to take care of itself. Naturally, it will not care about the alliance with Chen State. The deadlock on the grassland can also be resolved..."

Wan Yanyan tightened her grip on the small whip and said, "It would be great if it really goes that well..."

Splendid Palace.

In Tang Ning's room, both Lu Teng and Chen Zhou were present.

Lu Teng looked at Tang Ning with a solemn expression and asked, "Sir, the crown prince of Chu is going to attack King Xin. Is this news true or false? We are far away in Chu. If we make a wrong move, the princess will be in danger." .”

Tangning said: "Don't worry about the princess, I have secretly sent her away."

Lu Teng was shocked and said: "When did you send the princess away? How come I didn't know?"

"This is not the point." Tangning waved her hand and said, "The point is that the Chu Kingdom is undergoing great changes. What should we do to preserve the mission?"

After Lu Teng calmed down, he thought for a while and said, "I think we just need to do our own thing well. There is no need to interfere in the dispute between King Xin and the prince. After all, the prince and the princess are still married. If the prince wins, It’s good for us, but if King Xin ascends the throne, wouldn’t this marriage be invalidated?”

"Cough! Cough!"

Chen Zhou covered his mouth and coughed twice, looked at Lu Teng and said, "Commander Lu, I think Master Tang is right. We have been in Chu for so long, Commander Lu should already know what the prince's character is like. If Chu is If it falls into his hands, it will end sooner or later. It is better to help King Xin and maybe get a favor... Besides, what is the status of the princess? How can the good-for-nothing prince of Chu State be worthy of the princess? Mr. Tang, you Say so?"

Lu Teng thought for a while, looked at Tang Ning, and said, "I will listen to Mr. Tang's arrangements."

Along the way, many incidents showed that Tang Ning was right. Before coming, he did not expect that the situation in Chu State would be so complicated that he would not be able to make a choice.

At this time, listening to smart people is obviously the best choice.

Tangning nodded and said, "The Queen Mother's ceremony will be held at Cihuai Temple outside the city. In three days, King Xin and the Crown Prince will leave the city. This is the Crown Prince's best opportunity. He will definitely have people seal the city gate after leaving the city. Once the three hundred forbidden troops who prevent the city patrol department from rescuing and are responsible for the safety of the festival are controlled by the prince, King Xin will have no choice but to capture them."

Lu Teng looked solemn and said, "What can we do?"

Tangning looked at him and said, "Princess, I have sent her to a safe place. I need you to move our [-] guards out of the city in these three days and place them nearby Cihuai Temple. If something goes wrong during the ceremony, we will Rescue King Xin from the hands of the prince..."

Lu Teng pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Take your orders!"

……

Cihuai Temple is located on a hill more than ten miles outside Kyoto. The incense in the temple is not strong, but Cihuai Temple is extremely famous in Kyoto.

Just because this Cihuai Temple was built by the late emperor in memory of the empress, the late empress dowager.

Today, the Emperor and His Highness Prince Xin, who holds the high position of Regent, are descendants of the Queen Mother. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the Emperor and Prince Xin will personally go to Cihuai Temple to worship during every ceremony held by the Queen Mother.

Now that the emperor is seriously ill, King Xin will be in charge of this year's ceremony for the Queen Mother. As the crown prince, the prince also has to go out of the city to worship together.

The mighty procession started from Kyoto at Sishi, and the noon festival officially began.

The prince was sitting in the front carriage, clenching his fists and sweating on his forehead, and asked in a deep voice: "Have you not arrived at Cihuai Temple yet?"

A person outside the carriage said: "Go back to Your Highness, and we will be there if we go a little further."

"I understand." In the carriage, the prince wiped the sweat from his hands with a square handkerchief, and an abnormal redness appeared on his face.

The distance of many miles was reached in an instant. The abbot of Cihuai Temple had already led the monks to wait outside the temple. He stepped forward and called out the Buddha's name, and said: "Abbot Kong Ming of Cihuai Temple has met the prince and the prince. "

The prince looked at the abbot with a somewhat unflattering look. In Chu State, the prince was inferior to one person and above ten thousand people. The old monk had met the prince first and then the prince. He clearly did not put him, the prince, in the first place. In eyes.

However, compared with the big things he was going to do next, he no longer cared about this little thing.

"Master, please excuse me." King Xin held his hands up and asked, "How are the preparations for the ceremony going?"

The old monk clasped his hands together and said, "Everything is ready. Please come, Your Majesty."

King Xin looked at the prince and said, "Your Majesty, please."

A smile appeared on the prince's face and he said: "Uncle Wang, please go first."

King Xin took the lead in stepping into the temple gate. The prince looked at each other and the leader of the forbidden army stepped in.

The Empress Dowager's ceremony has always been supervised by the Ministry of Rites. In addition to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, some important officials in the court must also attend the ceremony.

In a main hall in the temple.

King Xin and the Crown Prince stood at the front, followed by more than ten important officials in the court.

The Minister of Rites stepped forward, looked at King Xin, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, we can start."

As soon as he finished speaking, the prince suddenly held his stomach and said, "Uncle Wang, I suddenly feel uncomfortable in my stomach. You guys should start first..."

Before he finished speaking, he quickly took a few steps back. When he reached the door, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face and he shouted loudly: "Do it!"
