The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Both Guo Jia and Zhang Liang returned to the house, and after the two reported the progress to Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui also brought up his plan.

Xiao Rui's strategy is not just as simple as robbing the concubine of Zhao Guo, but also extending more strategies through robbing people, thus forcing Zhao Haizhi, the prince of Zhao Guo, to usurp the throne!

After Zhang Liang and Guo Jia heard Xiao Rui's strategy, they clapped their hands and applauded. Although it was only a general procedure proposed, it pointed out the method. As for the details, leave it to Guo Jia and Zhang Liang, and they can easily handle it with their wisdom!

In one night, Guo Jia and Zhang Liang finalized all the details of the plan, and the next day, the plan began!

First of all, Li Yuanfang sneaked into the residence of the Duke of Zhenguo, investigated which maid could be closest to the grandmother of the crown princess, then lured her out of the mansion, knocked her out and took her away, then threatened and forced her to ask some useful information, and then A Zhu Qiao dressed up, pretended to be a maidservant, entered Zhen Guogong's mansion, and then poisoned the old lady!

The poison is not very toxic, it will only make the old woman feel uncomfortable, and the poison did not occur immediately. The crown princess Nie Qian also sent the imperial physician to see it, but the imperial physician's diagnosis was fruitless. It was judged that it was a long journey, and she had to rest for a few days before seeing it.

Also because of the old woman's illness, A'Zhu, who was disguised as a maidservant, had to accompany her personally, and had to keep quiet and not be disturbed, so no one found out that A'Zhu was pretending!

Arjuna is in place!

On the other hand, Guo Jia went to see Zhao Kuangming the next day. This time, Zhao Kuangming did not put on a show, but reluctantly agreed to deal with Prince Zhao.

Guo Jia had already guessed that he would agree, so he used his plan and began to discuss with Zhao Kuangming how to do it.

Zhao Kuangming said: "The prince lives in the East Palace. He is not only protected by the forbidden army, but also has mysterious masters. It is extremely difficult to enter the palace to assassinate, so we can only wait for the opportunity when he leaves the palace. Now our Daxia is fighting against Qin with all our strength. As the crown prince, the crown prince should take care of my father's worries. But these days, my father's health happened to be ill, so I can ask other people to make suggestions and let the crown prince go to the Taimiao instead of my father. Sacrifice! When the time comes, we will dispatch masters to ambush him secretly, and assassinate him while he is worshiping, great things will happen!"

Zhao Kuangming was very cunning. If he followed his actions, he would have nothing to do with the whole incident. Moreover, the person who assassinated Prince Zhao would not survive, and he would definitely be torn apart by the imperial army.

If it was before, Guo Jia would definitely not agree with Zhao Kuangming's scheme, but now it is a trick, their target is Emperor Zhao, not Prince Zhao at all, so what's the use of Prince Zhao dying a thousand times? How to force Prince Zhao to usurp the throne is the key, as long as Prince Zhao usurps the throne, Zhao Guohuang will be in turmoil, which will give him a chance to deal with Zhao Huang, and at the same time make Zhao Guo go to destruction faster!

According to the plan, Zhao Kuangming is also a key link, so it is the key to tease him and relax his guard at this time.

"Okay! Then it's up to Prince Rui's methods. I will gather the dead as soon as possible. Then I will need the help of the prince to sneak into the Taimiao!" Guo Jia said with a smile.

Zhao Kuangming said: "Leave this matter to me, Mr. Guo, don't worry."

Guo Jia nodded, and then said unintentionally: "My lord, since we have cooperated, why send people to follow us? This is a bit dishonest. Don't worry, as long as Prince Zhao is killed, I will immediately kill the three corpses with both hands. Dan's antidote is here."

"Stalking?" Zhao Kuangming's expression darkened, then he shook his head and said, "You left my palace yesterday, did you notice someone was following you?"

Guo Jia pretended to be surprised, and asked: "Didn't Prince Rui arrange it? Prince, if you are like this, then it will be boring."

Zhao Kuangming immediately emphasized: "I can swear to the heavens that I never sent anyone to follow you two, because I know that with your master's ingenuity, such a trick as stalking will not be able to hide from you."

"Really?" Guo Jia still had some doubts on his face.

Zhao Kuangming emphasized again: "This king can even swear to the sky!"

It was only then that Guo Jia believed Zhao Kuangming, and then frowned and said, "In this way, the prince's mansion is not safe! It seems that spies are hidden, so Guo will not be able to visit your mansion next time, in case someone is caught behind the scenes. If someone notices and discovers our scheme, it will be troublesome. What do you think?"

"It must be the crown prince who planted an eyeliner in my mansion! It is hard to guard against house thieves by day and night, this is true. Mr. Guo has thought carefully, and we will definitely not be in the mansion next time we meet." Zhao Kuangming agreed.

Guo Jia continued to proceed step by step, and asked: "Does the prince have a private property? It is better that no one knows about the relatively hidden places, even the people around His Highness know. If someone finds out my identity, then the prince's efforts will be ruined." All previous efforts have been wasted.”

This reminded Zhao Kuangming, and he said with a smile: "Yes! I have a manor in Qingfengfang, named Tingyuzhai. I just bought it not long ago, and very few people know about it. Next time I meet you, you might as well go there !"

"Good!" Guo Jia nodded with a smile, this is the purpose of his coming to find Zhao Kuangming.

Now that the goal was achieved, Guo Jia stood up and said goodbye, and left the palace with Yang Youji.

Chuan Jianguo had already started to contact Prince Zhao, and he also expressed his intention to take refuge. The right servant of the Ministry of Rites approached him proactively, and Prince Zhao Haizhi was naturally happy.

However, Zhao Haizhi was also very cautious. He was willing to accept Chuan Jianguo with open arms, but he did not put down the knife in his hand. Therefore, Chuan Jianguo can only wander around the periphery of Zhao Haizhi's forces, and has no access to core information at all.

At this time, it has been ten days since Xiao Rui came to Zhao Guohuang.

Through the communication with Chief Gongye through Mao Falcon, I learned that Chang Shenghou's army had already taken Tibet West County, and immediately entered Lingshan County. The speed is a bit slow, but Chang Shenghou's pursuit is stability, and this occupation is a permanent occupation. , It is to open up the territory and become the territory of Daxia, so it is also a big project to appease the people of the occupied areas.

Compared with Daxia's steady pursuit of victory, Qin Jun and Zhao Jun in the west are already red-eyed. So far, the Qin army has invested 700,000 troops, and the Qi army has 800,000 troops, and they are facing each other in Changping County of Zhao State.

You must know that once Changping County falls, there will be only one Dongfu County left in the east, and it will directly kill the land of Gyeonggi, so Zhao Jun must stop Qin State in Changping County, at any cost, otherwise Zhao State will really be on the verge of life and death. .

At this time, in Zhao's palace.

The aged Zhao Huang had just finished his anger, standing below were the chiefs of the three provinces, Zhongshuling Lei Jia, servant Zhongyang Gongyun and Shangshuling He Quhuan.

The territory of Zhao State was lost again and again, and it felt very uncomfortable to be pinched by Xia and Qin. Even so, the aged Zhao Huang never thought it was his fault!

"Three lovers, is there any way for Zhao Guo to save himself now?" Zhao Huang asked.

These three extremely human ministers all talked about eating the emperor's salary and loyalty to the emperor. They also wanted to save the dying Zhao country, but they thought they couldn't do it, and they had to find a way.

Zhao Huang saw that the three were silent, so he asked, "What do the envoys sent to Qi say?"

Lei Jia said: "Your Majesty, Xia Guo has already defeated Jinzhou of Qi State and is now attacking north. Qi State is retreating steadily. I am afraid that it will not be able to support us or even attack Xia State."

Zhao Huang said angrily: "Didn't you cooperate with Yuan Guo? Didn't you plan well before? How did it become like this!"

Lei Jia sighed: "Although the Yuan army is allowed to borrow the way, the Qi army and the Yuan army cannot cooperate effectively. In the territory of the country, it is like entering the land of no one, which leads to the loss of the hearts and minds of the Qi army and the deteriorating combat effectiveness. Now the situation is even worse. The Yuan army seems to have plans to withdraw its troops. The emperor of Qi is also worried that the Yuan army will fight back. The alliance has become useless."

Zhao Huang sighed, he couldn't count on Qi, so who else could he count on? You can only count on your own generals.

"Yesterday, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites suggested that I go to the Taimiao to pay homage to the ancestors of the Great Zhao, and ask the ancestors of the Great Zhao to bless them and overcome this difficulty. After thinking about it, I think it is feasible, but you have also seen my body, so I want the crown prince to take it as my replacement." I worshiped the ancestors and held a grand ceremony to worship the heavens, what do the three lovers think?" Zhao Huang asked.

Shangshu ordered He Quhuan to say: "Your Majesty, I think it is feasible. Worshiping heaven can improve the morale of the soldiers and ease the emotions of the people. If your majesty is in poor health, let the prince do it for you!"

Lei Jia and Yang Gongyun also nodded.

Zhao Huangdao: "In this case, then order Taichang Temple to discuss with the Ministry of Rites, select an auspicious day, and pass the decree to the crown prince!"

"Yes!" The three replied.

...

Soon, Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites selected a few days, and six days later it was suitable for worshiping the ancestors and heaven, and then the two yamen got busy preparing for everything.

Now that the time for ancestor worship has been determined, Xiao Rui and others can start the next step, so Xiao Rui immediately notified Li Yuanfang to meet A'Zhu. A'Zhu pretended to be a servant girl and stayed in Zhen Guogong's mansion. She immediately increased the poison dose, the old woman fell into a coma, and her life was not in danger.

The old woman suddenly fell into a coma, which immediately alarmed the entire mansion, and at the same time the news was spread to the East Palace.

Compared with Da Zhao's East Palace, Xiao Rui's East Palace is much more friendly. The scale of this place is huge, and it is a separate area on the middle east side of the palace, full of palaces.

It has been more than ten years since Zhao Haizhi was established as the prince, and he has lived in this East Palace for more than ten years. When he first lived here, he was excited and excited, but as time went by, he has been a prince, and he has been a prince, walking on thin ice, not only to be careful of other princes' open and dark arrows, but also to be careful of his father's suspicion.

Up to now, he felt that this East Palace was lonely, cold and lifeless, and at the same time he understood a truth better.

No matter how good the Eastern Palace is, it is also a subsidiary. Only those who live in the center of the imperial palace and sit on the high dragon chair are the masters of this place!

Now, when the state of Zhao is dying, his father is still living in his own ignorance. He really can't bear to watch the state of Zhao die, and he is even more unwilling to let the country die before he becomes the prince.

During these days, His Majesty loved his younger brother Zhao Kuangming more and more, and became more and more cold towards himself. Even his mother, the empress, seemed to favor Zhao Kuangming.

Zhao Haizhi understood that his own strength made His Majesty even more suspicious, and his desire to abolish the prince became stronger and stronger, maybe it was just a thought.

What my father needs is not a talented and virtuous prince, but an obedient prince.

"It's imminent..."

Zhao Haizhi muttered to himself, he saw the situation thoroughly, but he was still not sure that he could succeed in usurping the throne. In other words, he did not have the courage to take this step.

At this time, the crown princess Nie Qian came.

This princess has a dignified appearance. She was married to Zhao Haizhi at the age of sixteen. It has been sixteen years now. Although she is thirty-two years old, she looks like a young girl.

"Your Highness, no matter what decision you make, I will support you." Nie Qian saw Zhao Haizhi's hesitation and encouraged him heartily.

Zhao Haizhi took Nie Qian's hand, knowing that he was not fighting alone.

At this moment, the internal officer came to report in a hurry, and Nie Qian became anxious when she heard that her grandmother was unconscious.

Her parents died early, and the only immediate family member left was her grandmother, and she had been taken care of by her grandmother since she was a child, and she had a deep relationship with her. At this time, she was extremely anxious, hoping to go out of the palace and go back to have a look.

Zhao Haizhi didn't think much, and immediately dispatched the Imperial Army to escort Nie Qian out of the palace.
