Genesis Lord

Chapter 56 Check and Balance

Late at night, the prime minister's mansion in the capital.

A shadow flashed across the roof of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and before the people in the mansion could react, the shadow jumped to the door of the study in the inner courtyard.

"Luo Bingyun, a member of the Tongtian Mansion's Dark Hall, is meeting with the young master."

With a respectful face, Sombra reported himself to the study.

"Have you found out the news I want?" A shadow illuminated by candlelight at the study window put down the scroll in his hand and asked in a calm tone.

"Yes, son, after receiving the secret order from the Tianzi Pai, the dark hall has already started to act. After three days of precise investigation, the subordinates dared to report it rashly." Luo Bingyun nodded, and then took out his own A bundle of books on the chest of the coat.

"Well, bring it." Jiang Han in the study slowly stood up, opened the door of the study, and took the secret scroll in Luo Bingyun's hand.

Luo Bingyun lowered his head, not daring to look up at Jiang Han's face, but respectfully saluted: "In that case, this subordinate will leave now."

After finishing speaking, Luo Bingyun jumped up and left.

After watching Luo Bingyun leave, Jiang Han returned to the study, took back the disguise technique, and returned to his original appearance.

"Let me see who you are."

Jiang Han said to himself, and then he put the secret volume in his hand on the desk, and slowly opened it.

There are densely written on the dense volume, but it is all about a person - Princess Fluorescence.

When it comes to the identity of the Fluorescent Princess, although the secret scroll is a bit complicated, it is full of endless legends.The only thing that can be confirmed is that this fluorescent princess Qiu Xueying is not a member of the orthodox royal family.The reason why she was named princess was because of her mysterious father.Qiu Xueying's father, Qiu Shangquan, was the Prince Qizhu and Prince of the dynasty.It can be said that they are relatives with the orthodox royal family of today's Sheng family.They are not very close to today's orthodox royal family, even the kind of relatives who can barely get together with eight hooks.It is strange and also strange in this point, normally speaking, such a foreign relative is not worthy of the status of Prince Qizhu, but Qiu Shangquan is an exception, even because his only daughter Qiu Xueying is also honored as a princess identity of.

Jiang Han's memory is not without the impression of Prince Qiu Shangquan. In Jiang Han's original memory, there were several important family banquets of the royal family, and this prince also appeared.However, the imperial court didn't have a lot of memories of this Prince Qizhu.Because this and the prince are too low-key.If it weren't for the seven beads on his head and his title, no one in the court would remember such a person.

Is it possible that such a prince with a title, seven beads on his head, and a rich and vast land can be said to be completely blank in the court's field of vision?

Jiang Han narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had expected something, and began to quickly read the second half of the secret scroll...

This prince was sealed by the first emperor when he was alive, but judging from the detected information, people in the royal family still respect this prince very much. "It shouldn't be..." Jiang Han frowned and muttered in confusion.According to the temperament of the current emperor, such a prince of Qizhu, who has a vast land and great power, and even had the permission of the previous emperor to have private soldiers, would the current emperor not have the slightest suspicion?

Jiang Han had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart, and carefully read the secret volume.

It is mentioned in the secret volume that in the fief with the prince, the person who has been managing it is not the prince, and the prince often seems to be out of control in his own fief, and the general and big affairs are handled by a person named Liu Peiyuan of the prince. The fourth-rank magistrate is in charge of it.But not only didn't there be any problems with the prince's fief, but because of Liu Peiyuan's control, the prince's fief seemed to be in order and became very rich.In addition, there are also rumors of some warriors who were entrusted with the prince in the secret volume. It is said that the prince once fought, and his cultivation base and force are not low. bandit.

In any case, after Jiang Han read the entire secret volume, he only came to one conclusion, that is, it is definitely not easy with the prince.

"He fought with the prince. Although it is defined as a rumor, judging from the overall information, the prince must be extremely good at martial arts, and his strength must be extremely terrifying, but there is a high probability that he will not threaten the current royal family." Jiang Han looked at it several times. After going through the dense volume, he stroked his chin and slowly expressed his guess.As for why Jiang Han thinks that the Prince of Qizhu will not threaten the current royal family, it is because the attitude of the royal family towards this and the prince is really good, and it can even be said to be a little...respectful.Moreover, this and the prince must be beneficial to the royal family, otherwise, like the current emperor's character, he would not keep the prince no matter what.

After Jiang Han thoroughly absorbed all the information on the secret scroll, he suddenly remembered the Fluorescent Princess who came to look for him a few days ago, his eyes lit up slightly, as if he thought of something all of a sudden.

Maybe, the princess is playing a trick.Jiang Han thought to himself, then walked to his dark room and began to meditate.

......

The capital is to the east, inside the capital mansion of the third prince,

The tea pavilion in the inner courtyard was still hung with hanging lights at the moment. The third prince looked at the middle-aged man sitting beside him, and asked with a somewhat troubled expression: "Uncle, it is said that many things happened in the recruitment ceremony a few days ago. More It was at this recruitment ceremony that our country recruited a rare peerless master. Was this news ever true?"

The middle-aged man sitting opposite the third prince was none other than Murong Qingyun, the first-rank supervisor of the dynasty, the younger brother of Concubine Liuhua, and the uncle of the third prince.

Murong Qingyun's shrewd eyes flashed a cold light, and he said in a soft voice: "The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites have frequently entered the palace these two days. There must be new people taking up their posts. The Ministry of War has also adjusted slightly. So this recruitment ceremony feels right. Some unavoidable things happened. As for the rumors that a peerless master was recruited, there is no such possibility."

Since the recruitment ceremony has always been handled by the current emperor himself, foreign ministers are not allowed to watch or even participate in it, so all the affairs of the recruitment ceremony are covered with a layer of frost for the court officials.Not to mention the suspicious character of today's emperor, this kind of sensitive matter related to the control of military power, the emperor will definitely handle it himself, and will not leak any other information.

"If there is really a peerless master born and submit to the court. Uncle, this is a rare talent." The third prince said excitedly with a slightly excited expression.

"No, the military generals from the recruitment ceremony are all loyal to His Majesty. What's more, this is also considered a taboo by the Holy One. He doesn't care how your prince fights or wins over the ministers, but the generals from this recruitment ceremony are generally He is in charge of the military power. If one or two princes stand in line, His Majesty will not care, but if a group of princes all choose to stand by a certain prince, then His Majesty's thunderous wrath cannot be tolerated by any prince." Murong Qingyun Seeing the third prince who was a little excited, he poured cold water on him first to calm him down; then he said: "What's more, Haowen's foundation is still shallow compared to the other princes. If you try to win over the generals with all your brains, you will be angry." If His Majesty is unhappy, the gain outweighs the loss."

"But uncle, if we don't do anything, my other good brothers will definitely attack first." After hearing his uncle's advice, the third prince complained with some helplessness and embarrassment.

"Wen'er, I'm afraid you forgot that you still have a dark chess piece in your hand?" Murong Qingyun laughed as he looked at Sheng Haowen's compassionate look.

"Uncle means..."

"That's right, it's Jiang Han!"

The third prince suddenly realized: "Uncle wants to say that we can win over the masters from this recruiting ceremony, but we don't need to do it ourselves, just let Jiang Hanjiang do it?"

Murong Qingyun laughed, his eyes revealed a dark look, "That's right, in this way, even if the matter is revealed, we can just push Jiang Han out. In this way, both you and I can protect our lives wisely. It's even okay Absorb Jiang Han's remaining party forces in the court. In this way, your wings will not be weaker than the eldest prince and prince. If Jiang Han succeeds, it will be a great help to win over the master. If Jiang Han fails, we will also It can be sold easily."

"Wonderful, this way, no matter what, it is a great thing for me. Uncle is really resourceful, and I am not inferior." The third prince laughed, the previous haze was swept away, and he looked at himself My uncle was full of admiration.

But if Jiang Han, the protagonist, knew about the so-called plan of the third prince and Murong Qingyun, he would surely laugh out loud.Because no matter what, they would never have thought that the peerless masters who appeared in this recruitment ceremony were Jiang Han's subordinates.

Just when the third prince and Murong Qingyun finished talking and bowed to each other, a figure suddenly appeared in the small pavilion in the inner courtyard, knelt down on one knee and respectfully said: "My lord, there is definite news about the sixth prince."

The third prince's eyes flickered, and he smiled back and asked: "Oh? Is that right, news about my sixth brother?"

Hei Ying nodded, then took out a letter and handed it to the Third Prince.

"You go back first."

"Yes!"

The black shadow flashed past again and disappeared from the inner courtyard in an instant.

The third prince opened the letter, examined it carefully for a while, frowned slightly, and said to Murong Qingyun who was beside him: "Uncle, the sixth child is going back to Beijing."

"Oh? The sixth prince has been on tour for more than half a year, is he finally going back to Beijing?" Murong Qingyun nodded... with a deep smile on the corner of his mouth.

The sixth prince is the fourth prince who is most favored by the emperor besides the three princes who are fighting with each other now.It's just that the sixth prince is still young, and has no desire to fight for the throne, but he is righteous and jealous.Often because of his personality, many good things of these brothers were ruined.But these few princes who are fighting for the throne dare not do anything to him, because besides being favored by the Holy One, the sixth prince also has a powerful foreign relative, the Yan family, as a guarantee, and almost no one dares to do anything wrong to the sixth prince. thought.

So it was almost the tacit understanding between the first prince, the crown prince and the third prince. In order to better let each other free their hands and feet to compete with each other in this capital, they almost simultaneously resorted to means to get this good brother out of the capital.

Obviously they succeeded. Under their means, the sixth prince was appointed by the emperor to inspect the whole country half a year ago, and went out on behalf of the emperor to monitor the officials and ministers.It sounds good, but firstly, it eliminates the possibility of the six princes accumulating power in the capital, and secondly, it removes this smelly and hard stone. There is no obstacle, and even intensified in the past six months, everyone in the court seems to be in danger.

But what the third prince didn't expect was that the sixth prince returned to Beijing so soon. "Uncle, the sixth younger brother returned to the capital suddenly this time, tell me, is it the Yan family's intention, or..."

"It must be that one." Murong Qingyun pointed in the direction of the palace, and said calmly: "I must not be able to see you continue to fight like this, and bring the sixth prince back to add a check and balance to you."
