Chapter 694; Taking too big a step

Author: Ran Xi Nian

"With such ulterior motives in cooperating, it seems that I have overestimated them."

News from the capital, Prince Jin's Mansion, and the North came, and Prince Jin smiled disdainfully.

"If they could abandon everything before and cooperate together, I might still be a little afraid, but now."

As he spoke, he shook his head and looked through the window in the direction of the palace.

"My lord, haven't they increased their own strength by doing this? Whether it's the Xirong rebels or the four princes of Northern Chu, they are all good helpers."

Yan Yi was a little confused, why did his prince feel so much more relaxed after hearing that Duke Zhen Guo and Prince Li's Mansion jointly sent foreign aid?

"Assist? The reminder is almost enough."

"Talking with foreign countries is a serious crime."

"If they could work together in the North, they might still have a chance to resist, but in their current state, what strength do they have?"

"Just watch, this trouble will come to an end soon."

Emperor Hongwen let the two of them fight in order to eliminate their respective hidden power, so why not force them to change?

It would be really difficult to deal with Prince Baili, a highly respected elder among his clan members, if he didn't have a serious crime to deal with.

So now Prince Li actually wants to cooperate with the four princes of Bei Chu, and he also wants to use the power of Bei Chu to target Duke Zhen. That is Li Tong foreign affairs.

First of all, in the eyes of other people in Dongzhou, Zhen Guogong has been buried in the sea of ​​fire, so his remaining forces in the north are leaderless, and they are all imperial officials in Dongzhou.

Before they made any clear mistakes, they were all members of the imperial court. Now that Prince Li and the four princes of Northern Chu are attacking the imperial officials of Dongzhou, is this not treason?

Since ancient times, treason has been a serious crime. With this crime, Emperor Hongwen had the opportunity to mobilize troops to suppress it, and directly and forcefully captured the entire Prince Li's palace, without anyone else being able to say a word.

As for the remaining Zhenguo Gong, he was naturally allowed to disappear silently in the Northland.

"It seems that it's almost done. Send an order to the people in the North to attack him without leaving any traces."

Emperor Hongwen also received information about the Northland, his eyes sparkling.

Originally, he thought it would take some effort to deal with these two guys.

I never thought that the hatred between the two sides for each other would be so great. They both lost their minds and took such a big step all of a sudden.

Just as King Jin said, this step is a reminder for both parties.

Over in the North, Prince Li finally met the four princes of Northern Chu.

The two parties also quickly reached cooperation.

Prince Li needs the help of the four princes of Northern Chu to secretly eliminate the forces of Duke Zhen.

He also promised that after he fully controls the Northern Territory, he can help the four princes of Northern Chu seize the throne of Northern Chu. From then on, the two sides joined forces.

Now the old emperor of Northern Chu has reached his twilight years, and due to his serious illness last time, his health is getting worse and worse, and the princes under his knees are all competing for him.

The fourth prince of Bei Chu was a smart man. Not long after the emperor of Bei Chu woke up, he applied for transfer to his fief.

It seems that he wants to avoid fighting and not want to fight with those brothers. In fact, he is here to accumulate strength and want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then take action to win the throne when necessary.

His fiefdom is not far from the northern land of Dongzhou.

In order to paralyze the Beichu court, he could not ask Beichu for resources, so he could only rely on his hidden background to slowly strengthen. This time, the disrespectful prince came to him.

After thinking about it several times, I feel that this is a good cooperation.

You can use the resources of Dongzhou Northland to strengthen yourself.

Moreover, Prince Li also promised that as long as he could get rid of Duke Zhen, the wealth that Duke Zhen had hidden in the North in the early years could be shared equally between the two parties.

The four princes of Beichu who want to quickly accumulate strength need wealth most.

Lord Zhenguo, he was once a legendary figure. He suppressed the big boss of Dongzhou for more than ten years. No one can tell how much wealth he has hidden.

But it is definitely an astronomical number.

"It is not convenient for my people to move around in Dongzhou today. You should find out where he is hiding. I am arranging for someone to come over."

"Furthermore, I heard that this section is our Northern Chu Imperial City. The Duke of Zhenguo spent a lot of money to get someone to help him cooperate with Beichu."

"You have to hold on tighter."

After saying that, the four princes of Beichu stood up and left directly.

When Prince Li heard what he said, his expression darkened and he sneered.

This prince of the town really does everything he can.

He is actually trying to unite with Beichu. He wants to defeat him in one fell swoop, and he is not afraid that he will get out of hand and lead the wolf into the house.

But it's reached a point where it's life and death, so there's no point in using some means.

Didn’t he also use Beichu’s help?

Here Prince Li ordered people to dig three feet into the ground to find the hiding place of Lord Zhen Guo.

On the Zhenguo Gong side, with the blessing of a lot of money, he finally found someone who was willing to help him.

"The third prince of Northern Chu? What I want is the king of Northern Chu, or the eldest prince of Northern Chu. Who is this third prince? Is he worthy of cooperating with me?"

He also knew about the chaos in Beichu, and he also understood it very well.

Nowadays, the emperor of Beichu still has the final say in Beichu. The second most powerful person is the eldest prince of Beichu, that is, the prince of Beichu.

To cooperate, you must cooperate with two people.

He also knew a little bit about this third prince of Northern Chu, but in his opinion, he was just a clown who was mediocre in power but tried to compete for the throne of Northern Chu. This meant that the old emperor of Northern Chu was still there.

He was almost certain that once the old emperor of Beichu was gone, the prince would definitely eliminate these people with evil intentions.

He really doesn't have much interest in cooperating with such a person.

After all, his original intention was to kill someone with a borrowed knife, not to help others deal with the aftermath.

"My lord, it's really hard to contact there right now."

"It's hard to get in touch? Then think of a way to spend more money to find someone to set up a line and go to the Prince of Beichu. How can a third prince and a dying person be easy to cooperate with?"

What a bullshit third prince, even if he couldn't find anyone to cooperate, he wouldn't find someone like this.

"yes."

The subordinate responded, and just as he was about to retreat, the voice of Duke Zhenguo sounded again.

"What's going on with Prince Li now?"

"It's nothing special. I've been arranging people to look for you secretly."

Hearing this, Duke Zhen Guo's face turned cold, but he still had not given up his plan to get rid of him.

"Humph, you really don't want to give up. Since he is so free, let the Xirong rebels find something for him to do."

"Prince Jin, I plan to take action against Beidi. I need you to go there secretly to prevent any unexpected events. What do you think?"

In the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Hongwen summoned the King of Jin, and the theme came out as soon as he opened his mouth.

King Jin seemed to have expected this. He pondered for a moment and asked, "When do you plan to take action? Can I make it in time?"
