Chapter 32 Plan

For other princes, going on an expedition against the Tinder Kingdom on behalf of the royal family is extremely dangerous, and they are afraid to avoid it.

But for Su Ling, this is an opportunity for him to become emperor and strengthen himself in this game to gain the greatest benefits!

His [self-omniscient] ability allows him to see other people's life experience information, which allows him to know the deepest and darkest background of everyone in the palace and even the court, and then use it to blackmail these people into doing things for him.

As long as life and death are not involved, and his status as a prince is high enough, those people cannot kill people to silence him, so basically no one can resist him.

But that's all.

If he wants to use this method to control the people he has control over to stand in line and support him, then I'm afraid he won't be able to do so.

It is no secret that his current identity is disliked by the old emperor. In the eyes of the powerful officials in the court, this means that there is no hope for the throne.

In this case, asking these people to side with him would be a matter of life and death.

In the battle for imperial power, once you are on the wrong side, it will be doomed.

Once the new emperor takes the throne, those who are on the wrong side will be liquidated and end up miserable.

Therefore, Su Leng cannot use the excuses of those powerful ministers and officials to threaten them and ask them to side with him, otherwise there will be backlash.

Moreover, in the dynasty of the cold weapon era, getting the support of civilian officials was actually not that important.

Being a scholar is not a joke.

In a dynasty of this era, the most important thing is actually military power!

Whoever controls the military has the right to speak.

As long as it is not a rebellion, the general who controls the military power outside even the emperor does not need to listen!

I will be outside and my orders will not be accepted.

This is the confidence to control military power.

Su Ling had no chance of becoming emperor through conventional means. Only by adopting unconventional means could he break the convention and realize his ambition to ascend the throne.

And this method is military power!

Of course, military power is not so easy to control.

For people like soldiers and generals who are aggressive and murderous, threats are not very effective and may even be counterproductive.

This kind of person has killed many people, has no regard for life in his heart, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is audacious.

If you dare to reveal the darkest secret in his heart and use it to threaten him, even if you are a prince, he will kill you without hesitation as soon as his blood gets to his head!

To deal with this kind of people, you can't be tough, you have to be soft to overcome toughness, resonate with the other person emotionally, and make the other person agree with you in their heart.

As long as the other party agrees with you in his heart, the military power he holds is your military power.

The quickest way to get people like soldiers and generals to recognize you is naturally to form comradeship on the battlefield.

You don’t have to live and die together, as long as you fight side by side and can continue to lead to victory, let the soldiers and generals recognize your abilities first, and then "create" some troubles, give up some of your own interests, and give profits to these soldiers who are prone to passion.

General, let these people feel that you are truly thinking about them and care about their life, death and feelings. It won't take long before the other party is completely devoted to you.

In the world where Su Leng lived in his previous life, there was a movie called "Tou Mingzhuan". In it, Pang Qingyun used tricks like this to invisibly transform the bandit team led by Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang into his own power bit by bit.

Su Leng's current situation is much better than that of Pang Qingyun, and he also has the blessing of royal status.

Although he was the least favorite prince of the old emperor, he still had the reputation of being an orthodox prince, and it was relatively easier for him to win the recognition of the Zhou soldiers and generals - provided that he was really capable of leading troops in war.

And this is not a problem for Su Ling.

Although he cannot lead troops in war, he has the ability of [self-knowledge].

As long as they go to the front line and confront the enemies of the Tinder Kingdom in the military camp, the two sides can finally establish contact.

By then, he will be able to know every move of the Tinder Kingdom. All he has to do is play a mysterious role and use the method of examination to ask the military counselors about all the possible actions of the Tinder Kingdom, and then based on the advice of those counselors.

The strategy is to command the Zhou army to respond accordingly after the barbarian actions in the Tinder Kingdom.

As for the military advisers and generals who asked afterwards why they could judge the actions of the Tinder Kingdom so accurately, all they had to do was give the all-powerful "laughing but not saying a word" expression.

This is Su Ling's plan!

This was also the reason why he continued to make his own image extremely bad in the eyes of the old emperor.

Just to make the old emperor hate him so much that he would definitely choose him when encountering such a thing!

At the same time, he can also create his own impression in the outside world as a "big grievance" and win sympathy for the weak in the hearts of the people.

It was obvious that he was poisoned by the Eighth Prince, but after finding out the truth, there was no punishment for the Eighth Prince at all...

He was obviously ordered to carry out the old emperor's order and behead the Ninth Prince who was assassinating in public, but in the end he ended up going out to fight Tinder on behalf of the royal family, which was a very dangerous end...

This is called the "bitter meat plan" among the thirty-six strategies.

In addition, after he went to the army, he could also concentrate on practicing the "Five Qi Chaoyuan Breathing Method" and use the barbarians of the Tinder Kingdom to continuously practice his fighting skills and enhance his hard power. It can be said that he has achieved multiple things with one stone!

Therefore, when Eunuch Zhang's sharp voice came from outside the Prince's Pavilion, Su Leng did not feel any surprise or panic. Instead, he felt a little bit of joy that "the dust has settled".

He quickly got up and went out, came to the courtyard, and met Eunuch Zhang who happened to be walking into the courtyard.

Then, he listened to Eunuch Zhang read out the imperial edict on behalf of the royal family to go out to conquer Tinder. After performing a wave of acting skills with a gradually heavier look on his face, he accepted the edict in silence.

"His Royal Highness Thirteenth..."

After Eunuch Zhang received the imperial edict from Su Ling, he sighed and said, "Your Highness, please wish yourself well on this trip."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

On that day, the news that the Thirteenth Prince, on behalf of the Zhou royal family, went out to conquer Tinder quickly spread throughout the capital.

The existing aboriginal princes secretly breathed a sigh of relief and expressed gloating sympathy towards Su Leng.

Among the people, the story of Su Leng's "great injustice" also began to spread gradually, attracting a burst of sympathy from the people in the capital when they talked about it after dinner.

Three days later.

Beijing, North Gate.

A massive imperial army gathered here, headed by the old emperor, accompanied by many princes and powerful ministers, in a grand gesture to bid farewell to a fully equipped escort team.

The leader of this escort team is the current Thirteenth Prince Zhou Mingyi.

At this moment, Zhou Mingyi was seen, wearing a golden outfit and expressionlessly sitting on the back of a war horse specially selected by the royal family.

When the surrounding people who were entering and leaving the city saw this, they all gave way and did not dare to look directly at him. At the same time, they felt infinite sympathy in their hearts.

On the side of the horse, Xiao Die burst into tears, constantly telling Su Leng to take good care of herself, and recounted all the preparations she had made for Su Ling in the horse backpack.

When the decided moment arrived, Zhou Mingyi, the leader of the team, shouted loudly and shouted: "The auspicious time has arrived, let's go!"

Following the order, the whole team set off in great force and headed north.
