Chapter 241 The Third Prince Wins Over
Jing Tianlie felt that this game was sure to win, and he had already begun to plan how to govern the country after becoming emperor.
"Kill all the eunuchs in the palace first, and leave no one behind!"
This was Jing Tianlie's first thought.
He has many enemies in his life, but he hates Long Chen the most.
After Jiang Lin arranged for Li Chengtong and Murong Lin, he immediately went in and said, "General, the third prince Li Yuanying has arrived."
Outside the door, Li Yuanying took Xie An in and then closed the door with his backhand.
The two of them looked bad, and it was obvious that they knew that Li Chengtong had arrived first.
"Third Prince, long time no see, thank you for the food and salary you sent."
Jing Tianlie was very happy and asked Li Yuanying to sit down with a smile.
"The prince has arrived?"
Li Yuanying's expression was because of this. She wanted to arrive first and negotiate conditions with Jing Tianlie, but she was taken first.
Jing Tianlie smiled and said, "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince asked me to cooperate with him."
Jing Tianlie felt that his strange goods were affordable and had room for bargaining.
Lee Yuanying asked, "What conditions did he give?"
Jing Tianlie smiled and said, "There are no conditions, that is, when the prince ascends the throne, he will support me."
This seems irrelevant, but it is actually very important.
This is very clear. Li Chengtong can inherit the throne, but Li Yuanying dared not say that.
"It's not certain who will be the throne. If the father really wants to pass the throne to him, why should he send me?"
Lee Yuanying is very confident.
Jing Tianlie was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect Li Yuanying to say so directly.
"But the prince is the prince after all."
Jing Tianlie laughed.
Li Yuanying laughed and said, "According to the previous dynasty, there are very few princes who can inherit the throne. How can the general know that Li Chengtong will definitely inherit it?"
Historically, the prince is really a high-risk profession, basically the NPC of other princes, used to gain experience.
Jing Tianlie was silent for a moment and said, "What can the Third Prince give me?"
Lee Yuanying said, "I can give whatever he can."
Jing Tianlie laughed and said, "That doesn't mean that he didn't say it."
Li Yuanying laughed and said, "The prince gives you all the promises that he can inherit the throne, and everything he says now is false."
Jing Tianlie asked, "Then what real can you give me?"
Li Yuanying said: "I can give you 5 million taels of military pay."
hiss...
Jing Tianlie looked shocked. Five million taels of silver were enough for his troops to support for three years, and the price was high enough.
"There is no basis for empty words!"
Jing Tianlie wants real things.
Li Yuanying had long expected that Jing Tianlie would be moved. Whoever wants such a huge military salary would be a fool.
The promises in the future are illusory and the benefits in front of you are real. Of course, Jing Tianlie chose 5 million taels of silver.
Li Yuanying smiled and said, "In three days, 5 million taels of silver will arrive at the Jade Buddha Pass."
These silver coins were slowly deducted by Li Yuanying in the name of the Imperial City Department. This time, he took them out to defeat the prince by taking advantage of the credit for killing Long Chen and gaining Li Chengdao's approval.
Jing Tianlie was overjoyed and stood up and smiled, "Okay, only the third prince, no, it's His Highness, the leader of the horse!"
Li Yuanying smiled and said, "The general is really good at speaking."
Outside the door, Jiang Lin knocked on the door hurriedly.
Jing Tianlie sat back to his original position and said, "Come in!"
Jiang Lin pushed the door and bowed: "General, the envoy from the court has arrived."
Jing Tianlie felt strange. Both sides had already broken up. Why did the imperial court send envoys to come?
"Bring people in!"
Jiang Lin turned around and went out, bringing in a middle-aged man with a thin face and a firm look.
"General!"
The middle-aged man bowed to Jing Tianlie.
"Cao Jinzhong? What are you here to do?"
This person is a rank officer of the Ministry of War Department. He has a ninth rank official position. He has a low position but a tough temper. Everyone knows him.
"When General and Lord Wang Wei of Shangshu checked the world's troops, they found that the general raised private soldiers and also kept dead soldiers."
"The Lord ordered you to return to Beijing immediately to coordinate the investigation and confront it in person."
Cao Jinzhong has a strong character, but he is not a fool. He knows that Jing Tianlie will not go back, but he just wants to say that he is a man who believes in his own right.
It is also because of this that the Ministry of War sent him as an envoy, and everyone else was afraid of death and dared not come.
Jing Tianlie laughed and said, "Cao Jinzhong, your personality has not changed at all. If others don't come, you will die!"
"I tell you, I just raise private soldiers and dead soldiers, and I just want to rebel!"
Cao Jinzhong was not afraid at all, pointed at Jing Tianlie and cursed: "The Jing family has been loyal and wise for generations. If you are so ruthless, are you worthy of the ancestors of the Jing family? Do you have the right to meet the old general after you die?"
Jing Tianlie was furious and cursed: "You also know that I have been loyal and wise for generations, but the empress wants to kill me. If I don't rebel, can I kill you if I lead me to death!"
Cao Jinzhong cursed: "You are arrogant and domineering to raise private soldiers and die-hard soldiers, and you also want to marry a princess and covet the throne. You will not survive if you commit suicide!"
Cao Jinzhong is a strong and upright person, not a fool. He also knows what Jing Tianlie thinks. He also knows what Jing Tianlie thinks.
Jing Tianlie said furiously: "I have made so many contributions, what's wrong with marrying a princess!"
Cao Jinzhong cursed: "Now when you go back, there is still room for trouble. Otherwise, the Jing family will destroy the nine clans! The old lady has been taken into the palace, do you even want me?"
Jing Tianlie's body shook, his face turned pale, and he cursed: "The empress is shameless and actually takes her parents hostage. I will kill you first!"
Jing Tianlie always felt that the empress had a bottom line in doing things, especially for his father's death on the battlefield for the country.
But unexpectedly, the empress took action.
He also thought about taking out the whole family, but the empress had already controlled the Jing family and he could do nothing.
Jiang Lin rushed out and drew his sword to kill Cao Jinzhong.
Li Yuanying kept watching. When Jiang Lin was about to take action, Li Yuanying stood up and advised: "Let's wait!"
Jiang Lin's knife was only a slight difference from Cao Jinzhong's neck. Cao Jinzhong was not afraid at all and stood up straight.
"General, this person is just a small character, and it is useless to kill him."
Li Yuanying does not recognize Cao Jinzhong, but the one who can be sent to die must be a small character.
"I have a plan, please listen to it by the general."
Jing Tianlie's face turned purple and then he waved his hand for a long time and signaled Jiang Lin to retreat.
"you say!"
Before Li Yuanying could speak, Cao Jinzhong found out that something was wrong.
Because Li Yuanying and Xie An's clothing was not from the Great Zhou Dynasty, but from the Jinling of Nanliang.
"Who are you?"
Cao Jinzhong was furious when he saw this.
Li Yuanying sneered coldly: "I am the third prince of Nanliang."
Cao Jinzhong's heart was filled with anger, and his scoundrel burst out. He pointed at Jing Tianlie and cursed: "Okay, Jing Tianlie, your son Jing Heng colluded with Shangguan Wei, you actually colluded with the Nanliang royal family. If you have a father, you will have a son. Your Jing family will destroy the family!"
Jing Tianlie was angry that his mother was being held hostage, but now he remembered his son being killed. He turned around and took down the sword on the wall, drew the sword and came to kill Cao Jinzhong.
Li Yuanying stopped him and said, "General, please listen to me!"
Jing Tianlie was furious and cursed: "Let's talk about it when I kill him!"
Li Yuanying advised: "I need him to send a letter!"
Jing Tianlie held back his anger and cursed: "Okay, you said!"
