Chapter 299 Join forces
As night fell, Luo Cheng slowly walked out of Tianxiang Tower, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness.
Recalling the conversation with the young master, the words "Still be a loyal minister of Emperor Wen" seemed to hit him in the heart like a heavy hammer. He knew that he was upright and could not lurk beside the prime minister like Song Zhen and wait for the opportunity.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, he couldn't help but sigh. The current Dazhao regime is relatively stable, but that doesn't mean they can take it lightly.
Luo Cheng knew that he had an important mission and had to remain vigilant at all times. However, facing the various difficulties and challenges in reality, he felt somewhat powerless.
In this turbulent era, loyalty and betrayal, justice and evil are intertwined, and every choice may affect the fate of the country and the future of the people.
As a minister, Luo Cheng's loyalty and responsibility will become the cornerstone of national stability. But in this complex and changing situation, how should he choose?
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought. He knew that he had to be firm in his beliefs and not be disturbed by the outside world. At the same time, he had to learn to be flexible and constantly improve his abilities in order to better deal with various crises.
As the night deepened, Luo Cheng's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
With confusion and expectation for the future, he continues to move forward and strives to realize his ideals and goals. No matter how rough the road ahead is, he will stick to his original intention and contribute his strength to the country and the people.
When Luo Cheng passed by the Fourth Prince's Mansion, he saw a gorgeous carriage parked at the door and couldn't help but sigh. This carriage obviously belonged to a powerful person, and in the capital, where power struggles were fierce, such night meetings and conspiracies were not uncommon.
Luo Cheng knew very well that the struggles between these powerful people were often accompanied by conspiracies and calculations, and that one could fall into danger if one was not careful.
So he shook his head and decided to avoid this possible dispute and turn into another road.
Less trouble is worse than more trouble. Things in the capital are too complicated. It's better to stay away from it! After all, he is just an ordinary person and doesn't want to be involved in this game of power.
At this time, the Third Prince was sitting next to the Fourth Prince, looking at him with a gloomy face as he drank tea leisurely.
The anger in the Third Prince's heart continued to rise, as if it was about to burn. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Fourth Prince, have you thought it through?"
The fourth prince raised a smile, looked at the third prince and said, "Third brother, don't be so anxious. Let me think about it. What good will it do for me to join forces with you?"
The third prince stroked the ring on his thumb and said with a frown, "The prince's power is growing day by day. If he ascends the throne one day, given his temperament, I'm afraid both of us will be dead!" After saying that, he took a deep breath, and a trace of anxiety and uneasiness flashed in his eyes.
The fourth prince narrowed his eyes slightly, with a deep look in his eyes, and said softly: "This new Minister of Revenue is not a member of the Crown Prince's party. It is obvious that the emperor is dissatisfied with you and took the opportunity to replace your people."
Hearing this, the Third Prince's face turned a little ugly. He pursed his lips and said unwillingly: "I understand that my father is dissatisfied with my choice of the eldest princess of the enemy country as the marriage partner, but this marriage was originally agreed to by my father himself!" His tone revealed a hint of helplessness and grievance.
The Fourth Prince sneered and looked at the Third Prince sideways, mocking him: "Huh, about that... I don't know." After that, he ignored the Third Prince and picked up his tea to drink!
Seeing that the Fourth Prince was unmoved, the Third Prince continued to lobby, "Fourth Prince, if you and I join forces to bring down the Crown Prince, then this great omen will be divided equally between the two of us in the future."
The Fourth Prince's heart could not help but move. His current strength was indeed not enough to compete with the Crown Prince. If the Third Prince fell, he would not be able to hold on for too long.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Perhaps cooperating with the third brother is the wisest choice at the moment.
After careful consideration, the Fourth Prince finally made up his mind, nodded slowly and said, "Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation."
As the Fourth Prince nodded, the Third Prince felt relieved and a hint of pride appeared on his face.
Shortly after the Third Prince left the Fourth Prince's residence, Emperor Wen received news from the secret guards.
Kong Boda asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty! The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince have joined forces. This is not good news for the Crown Prince. Should we take some measures to deal with it?"
Emperor Wen sneered and said, "Don't worry about them! I suppressed the power of the third brother before, and I was worried that he didn't have enough strength to compete with the crown prince. Now it seems that he has found a helper. This is good, the current situation basically forms a three-way confrontation. The more intense the fight between them, the more relieved I will be. Let them fight, when I am old, the new emperor should be a ruthless person, otherwise Da Zhao will be annexed by Yue Wu sooner or later!"
Kong Boda nodded and stopped talking. He knew that Emperor Wen had already had a comprehensive plan in mind, and he only needed to act according to the emperor's will.
At this time, Emperor Wen looked into the distance, as if he had already seen the thrilling power struggle in the future.
The throne can only be ascended by stepping on the corpses of countless people!
Emperor Wen's eyes darkened slightly, and the scenes of the past emerged in his mind. Those who had competed with him for the throne fell in a pool of blood one by one.
He knew that this position was not easy to come by, and he also understood the cruelty and bloodiness involved, but he did not regret it, because only in this way could he protect the people and things he cherished.
As night fell, Xiao Jinghan returned to the palace. When he stepped into the yard, he saw Luo Lingyue standing there holding a lantern, like a star in the night sky.
Her figure seemed a little thin in the cold wind, but her eyes were full of determination and expectation.
A warm feeling surged in Xiao Jinghan's heart. He walked quickly towards Luo Lingyue and said gently, "The weather is cold, you don't have to wait for me in the yard." There was a hint of concern and heartache in his voice, as if he was afraid that Luo Lingyue would be hurt.
Xiao Jinghan reached out his hand and gently stroked Luo Lingyue's cheek, feeling her warmth. Their eyes met, as if time had stopped at this moment. On this cold night, their warmth became the harbor of each other's hearts.
Luo Lingyue's voice was mixed with a hint of anxiety: "There's news from Beiyuan! Something might happen to the Beiliu royal family! But I don't have any spies in Beiliu, so I have no idea what's going on over there!"
Xiao Jinghan's eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes became sharp, and he immediately asked Luo Lingyue: "Who passed this news? Is it reliable?"
Luo Lingyue lowered her voice and replied, "It's the news from the Black Hawk team! I think my father and brother haven't received the news yet!"
Xiao Jinghan said solemnly: "We must act as soon as possible! Come with me to the Soul-demanding Gate!"
