He originally wanted to trick Wei Nan onto the boat, and then he would find an excuse not to board the boat because of his stomachache.Unexpectedly, when Wei Nan heard that the prince had a stomachache, he also became nervous, and quickly said that the prince was ill, how could he leave alone, and accompany the prince to see a doctor.

The prince had no choice but to say that he just suddenly wanted to go to the toilet. Wei Nan laughed and said: "The prince should go to the toilet, and the younger brother should also accompany him. This is such a beautiful scenery, the younger brother would not dare to watch the prince first."

It's all said and done, you have to pee if you don't pee!The prince had no choice but to bite the bullet and take a pee, and followed Wei Nan onto the boat.

The two were hypocritically polite, and their acting skills were better than the other.In order to exaggerate his image of being helpless in Beijing, Wei Nan didn't even bring any entourage, and he wore the prince's uniform but didn't even have any accessories. Compared with the well-dressed prince, it was extremely poor.

When the boat reached the middle of the lake, several assassins suddenly appeared from the lake. They attacked Wei Nan who was sitting on the outside of the boat. The assassin stabbed his shoulder with a sword, turned over and fell into the lake and disappeared.

The prince hurriedly leaned on the side of the boat and stared at the lake until his eyes were sore, the ripples of the lake stopped, and Wei Nan didn't come out of the water.

With a wave of the prince's hand, those killers jumped into the lake to search for Wei Nan.

Who knew that the killers also disappeared after entering the water, leaving only circles of waves and non-stop bubbles.The prince and his entourage waited on the boat for a long time, but no one came up, but they only saw streams of bright red coming up from the bottom of the lake, and the lake was soon stained red with blood.Looking at the blood volume, the light in the prince's eyes quickly shattered, he underestimated Wei Nan.

The lake is too deep, and the lake water is not very clear. It is impossible to see the bottom of the lake clearly from the boat.

The prince was afraid. If Wei Nan sneaked onto the boat and killed him without anyone noticing it, and then pushed him onto the killer, the queen and the uncle would not dare to investigate casually.Because those killers couldn't stand the scrutiny at all, and it was found out that it was the prince's own masterpiece.

"Your Highness, this servant will take you away!" Seeing that the situation was not right, the prince's personal guard immediately paddled desperately, trying to leave this dangerous place first.

A strong force came from the lower end of the oar, and the guard held it tightly, and was pulled into the water without noticing it.The guard was proficient in water-based martial arts, but he didn't even struggle when he fell into the water, and sank straight like a weight, only taking a bubble for the terrified prince.

The hull of the boat shook suddenly, and the prince's hair stood on end. He was so frightened that he couldn't step on his foot firmly, and fell into the lake screaming.He choked up a few mouthfuls of blood in his panic, and his gorgeous clothes became his life-saving talisman, and he was so entangled in the heavy clothes that he couldn't swim at all.Seeing that the prince was about to be buried in the lake, someone suddenly picked him up from the boat and threw him on the boat.

The prince was drenched all over, choking on the blood and coughing unceasingly, he spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and when he looked up, Wei Nan was also sitting in front of him, all wet.

While twisting the water on his clothes, Wei Nan smiled calmly and said to the prince, "Fortunately, my brother came up in time. Those killers are really hard to deal with. Two of them ran away, and even killed the prince. I've been pulled into the water. It's all because of my incompetence, is the prince alright?"

Wei Nan said that he was "incompetent", but there was no trace of guilt on his face.The prince calmed down in an instant after a long battle in the court, and asked tentatively: "Duke Ming said that they came here for Gu?"

Wei Nan said: "My brother guesses so. Nowadays there are many people with different ideas in the world. The prince is the future of the Great Zhou, so they are naturally going after him. Can they still go after me, an idle prince who has nothing to do?"

Now the situation is very clear, if Wei Nan wants to kill him, it's fine if he doesn't save him just now, and then put the crime of assassinating the prince on those corpses at the bottom of the lake, it's perfect!

The prince's face twitched for a while, Wei Nan was in an absolute advantage at this time, the prince had to find a reasonable reason for himself to get out.

Life-saving is the most important thing, the prince hesitated and followed Wei Nan's words: "These rebellious officials and thieves really deserve to die, but fortunately, King Ming is here, so I won't be in trouble today. I don't know where King Ming's skills come from?"

Wei Nan twisted the water on his clothes, pretending to be harmless to humans and animals, and said: "I have been living among the people for many years. I have been a martial arts master as a teacher, and I know a little bit of kung fu. If you can't beat the masters, you can still deal with these little thieves." .”

The elite killer carefully cultivated by the prince is actually a "little thief" in the mouth of King Ming. Isn't this a slap in the face of the prince?

But in this situation, let alone a slap in the face, even the spanking the prince has to endure.He held back as if he had eaten a fly.

"His Royal Highness, this is the kit that I found on a killer just now. It should belong to the leader of the killer. You can follow this clue to find the origins of these people." Wei Nan reached out and touched a wet kit from his bosom. He took it out and handed it to the prince generously.

The prince's face turned pale, and this kit was just his token.He looked at Wei Nan in surprise, wondering if this person was stupid or had other plans?

"Then... Then King Ming can check..." The crown prince swallowed, staring at the kit in a daze, and said with difficulty.

"They came here for the crown prince, it's better for the crown prince to check it himself. I don't want to get involved in these grievances, I just want to be an idle prince. Don't blame the prince for being too lazy!"

Wei Nan leaned on the railing as if he had no bones, tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of his robe to bind the wound on his arm, and then looked at the pale prince meaningfully.

Wei Nan took the initiative to show his favor, and the prince had no reason not to follow.With a slight trembling hand, he took the deadly kit from Wei Nan's hand, put it in his pocket, and said wittily: "Okay... Guding will be Quanxian brother. Thanks to the virtuous brother today, if it weren't for this, how could Gu Fate is here."

Just like that, Wei Nan turned an assassination into a rescue.Although it can't be fooled by people with discerning eyes, it has at least fooled most people who don't know what's going on.

The story of the prince's assassination and King Ming's rescue spread, and there was a lot of discussion between the ruling and opposition parties.

The prince failed to kill, and was almost killed. After returning, he fell ill.From then on, no one in the palace from the queen to the prince to the people below dared to trouble Wei Nan easily.

The prince knew that Wei Nan was a hard nut he couldn't chew on, so he didn't dare to attack him rashly.

After that incident happened, the crown prince sent two personal guards with high martial arts skills to follow him under the pretext of repaying Wei Nan for saving his life. The name was: to protect the personal safety of King Ming.

The two guards couldn't get any news from Wei Nan, because Wei Nan used various reasons and made various excuses to replace all the servants in Prince Ming's mansion within a year.

The two guards had no choice but to report to the prince what they saw: King Ming spent the whole day reading and practicing martial arts in the palace, and the most outrageous thing was that he invited a popular opera troupe from the capital to sing a performance.

The prince's string that had been tense since Wei Nan returned to the palace relaxed a little.Although Wei Nan is scheming and skilled in martial arts, judging from the performance of his step-by-step retreat, he doesn't seem to want to be an enemy of himself.

Zhou Xian, the divine assist, did another thing, which made the prince completely lose his vigilance towards Wei Nan.

Zhou Xian knew that the prince would definitely not be able to tolerate Wei Nan, the former heir, so he wanted to pave a way for Wei Nan to survive while he was still there.He suggested that Wei Nan go to the Ministry of War for training.As soon as this proposal came out, Wei Nan was the first to object before the prince's party started to make trouble.He told Zhou Xian that he had no intention of going to court, but only wanted to be an idle prince who didn't care about other things.

This made Zhou Xian very angry, tremblingly pointing at Wei Nan and yelling at Wei Nan, "You useless thing!" The more Zhou Xian scolded, the more relieved the prince was.Wei Nan's reluctance to enter the court meant that he cut off all possibility of forming a party.Wei Nan doesn't have any roots in Beijing, how can Rootless Ping compete with her for power?

At this point, the prince put aside all doubts about Wei Nan, and even the two guards who hadn't found out anything also withdrew.

Wei Nan achieved his goal, so he started the second step of the plan: to drive a wedge between the Prince Yidang and Pei Chong.Fan Xiaojiu and Pei Chong, the uncles of the prince's party, have been displeased with each other for many years. Although Wei Nan doesn't understand the grievances between them, it doesn't matter, he just needs to add to their tense relationship. Fire, just let the hatred between them burn.

The court is ruled by the prince's party, Pei Chong has always been huddled in the imperial barracks, rarely going to the court, and the two sides have lived in peace these years.

But after King Ming returned to the palace, there was constant friction between the prince's party and Pei Chong.

First, when Fan Xiaojiu's son, Fan He, was hunting with a group of aristocratic children, he chased a prey and entered the camp of the imperial army.The patrolling officers of the imperial army took them down as spies who came to spy on the military situation.

These sons of aristocratic families have always been used to domineering in the capital, so of course they would not let it go, and immediately clashed with the imperial army.The imperial troops were all well-trained elites, and they beat up the children of these aristocratic families until their noses and faces were swollen and they were locked up.

Pei rushed over to see the imprisoned young masters, and said nothing with a dark face, but asked his subordinates to send them back safely.

This matter is at the fault of these aristocratic children, Pei Chong thinks that as long as they are sent back without punishment, it is already giving Fan Xiaojiu face, and Fan Xiaojiu dare not say anything.But when Fan He was about to reach the door of his house, he suddenly fell to the ground and died.

He was kicked twice in the imperial army camp, and he was fine at the time, but he died when he was almost home.Fan Xiaojiu was heartbroken and asked people to investigate the cause of Fan He's death carefully. It turned out to be really evil. Except for two footprints on his chest, there were no other wounds on his body, and there was no sign of poisoning.

In a fit of anger, Fan Xiaojiu went to find Pei Chong's theory, asking him to give him an explanation.However, Pei Chong said that it was Fan He who trespassed into the important area of ​​the barracks first, and he had already shown mercy.

The two of them quarreled furiously.One is a general with a heavy army in his hand, and the other is a powerful minister with power over the court, neither of them is convinced by the other.Seeing that the two were arguing, Zhou Xian ignored it for some reason, as if he hadn't seen it.The two were arguing endlessly below, while Zhou Xian dozed off on top.

Fan He's affairs are not over yet, another accident occurred in the imperial army.

A son of a family named Liu Xian who accidentally broke into the imperial army barracks with Fan He that day, found out the name of the commander who kicked Fan He, and found his home.Liu Xian found a group of local ruffians and rushed into the commander's house, killing his family of five.

When the commander got the news, he rushed into Pei Chong's camp and asked him to make decisions for himself, but Pei Chong let him be patient.The commander's family was gone, how could he hear this sentence, and said: "The general is afraid of hurting the imperial army, but the last general is not afraid!" He immediately drew his knife and wanted to avenge his family.

Pei Chong valued this person the most, so of course he couldn't be allowed to have an accident, and immediately forced Jing Zhaoyin to investigate the murderer thoroughly.Jing Zhaoyin quickly found Liu Xian.

Liu Xian fled to Fan Xiaojiu's house to seek asylum. Fan Xiaojiu, who had just experienced the pain of losing his son, strongly protected Liu Xian who avenged his son.Jing Zhaoyin didn't dare to arrest people, and couldn't bear Pei Chong's persecution, so he hanged himself at the gate of the yamen.

So far, the conflict between Uncle Guo and Pei Chong has risen to an unprecedented height.The war between the royal army and the prince/party is imminent.

Later, when the Marquis of Xiliang died of illness, Fan Xiaojiu asked the emperor to decree that the territory of the Marquis of Xiliang be taken back and redistributed. Zhou Xian asked, "Doesn't he still have a daughter? If that girl Cao Jingqiu gets married, pass on the title of Marquis of Xiliang to her." Give it to her husband-in-law."

Fan Xiaojiu said: "Cao Jingqiu has never been married, and this woman is very ambitious. I am worried that if she seizes the title of Marquis of Xiliang, she will rebel like the king of Dongliang. I ask the emperor to decree to take back the seal and fief of Marquis of Xiliang."

The result of the matter can be imagined, Cao Jingqiu singled out Zhou Xian as an envoy, surrendered to the former prince, and directly rebelled.

Fan Xiaojiu was originally a warrior with little foresight, and he did another thing that shot himself in the foot. He was so angry that he wanted to fight Cao Jingqiu immediately, but he didn't have any soldiers, so he had to force the imperial army to suppress the rebellion.

Pei Chong's imperial army has been fighting fires everywhere since the king of Dongliang rebelled, and his generals and troops were distributed to various places.At this moment, if Pei Chong divides another part to deal with Cao Jingqiu, the defense of the capital will be weak.

Not only that, the imperial army guarding the capital has almost no generals to send.You can't really let those guys in the Ministry of War who only talk about soldiers on paper lead the soldiers, right?

Pei Chong couldn't spare any manpower to suppress Xie Ce and Cao Jingqiu. In just over a year, Xie Ce's power increased greatly.

Zhou Xian was in a hurry, and so was the prince.If Xie Ce was allowed to gobble it up like this, the Great Zhou would not be safe, and even if the crown prince became the emperor, he would lose his country, so why would he still use that ruined throne?

At this time Wei Nan stood up, and he told the crown prince and Zhou Xian that now that the country is in crisis, he, the King of Ming, must also stand up, otherwise the country will be gone, and his glory and wealth will not be preserved.

He petitioned the crown prince and Zhou Xian, asking Pei Chong to give him [-] troops, and he would be able to capture Xie Ce and Cao Jingqiu back.

Seeing that Wei Nan was willing to make a move, the crown prince naturally wished for it.

Regardless of Wei Nan's defeat or victory, it is a good thing for the prince.Not to mention if he wins the battle, if he loses the battle, he can just take the opportunity to suppress him again; if Wei Nan dies in the battle unfortunately, it will remove the last possible threat for him.So the prince strongly supported Wei Nan's proposal.

Zhou Xian saw that his "disappointed" son finally knew how to make progress, Lao Huai comforted him, thinking that as long as Wei Nan made military achievements, he might as well let him take over the imperial army and replace Pei Chong, an annoying guy.So he immediately agreed to Wei Nan's proposal.

Pei Chong was so forced that he had no choice but to agree to draw out [-] imperial troops, led by Wei Nan, to destroy Xie Ce and Cao Jingqiu.He himself still guards the capital.

Wei Nan was overjoyed, as long as he was allowed to take the team out, he could find a way to turn these people into Xie Ce's.

Unfortunately, he still underestimated Pei Chong.
