Chapter 141 Wake Up

Coming out of Prince Rui's mansion, Liu Xia let the carriage go to Zhang Tianhu's house.

The Zhang family is one of the top ten families in Longdu. In the Tianji Dynasty, it plays an important role.

As the representative of the Zhang family in Longdu, Zhang Tianhu accumulated enough merit after returning from the northwest and became one of the cabinets.

The cabinet of the Tianji Dynasty is usually taken over by the representatives of the clan.

It's just that in these years, the emperor has promoted several cabinet members who were born in martial arts to balance the power of the family and martial arts officials in the cabinet.

The cabinet is the heart of the court.

Being able to become a cabinet member is the real minister.

Because there is no prime minister in the Tianji Dynasty, and the cabinet is the leader of ministers and the decision maker of major events.

The prince is the crown prince. In the cabinet, there must be his credulousness.

Compared with Liu Xia and the prince, the gap now is here.

After returning to Longdu, Liu Xia asked someone to inquire.

Among the ministers who proposed marriage to the prince on that day, there were three ministers in the cabinet.

At present, there are twelve people in the cabinet, three of which can explain the power of the prince.

And the Zhang family and the Song family did not say anything, which shows that Liu Xia still has a opportunity to take advantage of.

Although Liu Xia is in power today, she has no background. After all, she is worse than the prince.

So, we still need to use our brains from the cabinet.

The imperial court is not Jianghu. There are some things that cannot be solved by force.

Outside Zhang Tianhu's house, after a simple pass, Liu Xia entered Zhang Tianhu's study.

When Zhang Tianhu saw Liu Xia, he immediately greeted him.

After the two people sat down, Liu Xia smiled and said, "Lord Zhang, let's work together in the northwest. Today, I came straight to the point. I have something to ask you. Please be sure to agree."

When Zhang Tianhu heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please have tea. When you come, I will know what you want me to ask me. However, Weichen really can't do this for you.

"Oh? Why?"

Liu Xia asked.

"Your Majesty, you are extremely smart. There must be something that you haven't seen clearly yet. Well, you're here today, I might as well tell you. If I'm not mistaken, do you want me to think about the emperor's marriage for you?

Zhang Tianhu smiled.

"Not bad."

"To be honest, the prince is the crown prince. The future emperor, although our Zhang family is not a prince, there is really no need to be against the prince. If it's just a personal relationship, I, Zhang Tianhu, have no responsibility. However, after all, I represent the Zhang family. If I get married for you. It shows that my Zhang family is on your side. The key is that you don't have the ambition to be the emperor. Our Zhang family supported you and finally offended the prince. This is really too risky than trading.

Zhang Tianhu whispered.

When Liu Xia heard this, she suddenly realized.

Xue Gelou is right. Everything in Longdu is related to the emperor. To be precise, it is related to the dragon chair.

If Liu Xia has the ambition to become emperor at this moment, the Zhang family supports him. If Liu Xia becomes emperor in the future, he will naturally not forget the kindness of the Zhang family. This is political investment.

However, Liu Xia has never had this idea, so the Zhang family can't support him.

"I see. However, I don't want to be an emperor. I really don't want to. Is there no other way?"

Liu Xia asked.

"It's not without it. In fact, the prince is just in this mountain. You are actually a force at this moment. You see, you have the support of the Northwest clan, and now you are holding the Wuzhou army in your hand. If you want to win, you have to show your own attitude. You are not the emperor, so who do you support to be the emperor? This is the key! In Longdu, if you just want to be an idle prince, you can have no attitude. But now, if you don't have an attitude, others will not dare to help you.

After saying it in a low voice, Zhang Tianhu picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Liu Xia fell into meditation at this moment.

If he does not support the prince, he must support another prince, or he himself to express his position.

In this way, we can really start to participate in the party competition in Longdu.

However, Liu Xia did not want to support the prince at this moment. To be precise, Liu Xia did not want to kill the prince.

"Lord Zhang, do you have to do this?"

Liu Xia asked after a moment of silence.

"Your Majesty, I'm not telling you the truth. The matter of the imperial court is not a family affair. This is a game of life and death. Either you quit, or you have to put your opponent to death. The fight between you and the prince is not as simple as you think. Or the prince will die. Or you will die."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tianhu sighed softly, "Your Majesty, say a rebellious word. If you are ambitious, my Zhang family is willing to be on your side. And I will go through fire and water for you, and I will not hesitate. Because, I'm optimistic about you."

"Lord Zhang, there is no need to say any more. I don't have this idea, and I don't want to do that position. It's all because I haven't seen you tonight. Say goodbye."

Speaking of this, Liu Xia got up and walked out.

Zhang Tianhu hurriedly saw him off, looked at the back of Liu Xia's carriage leaving, and sighed with regret.

If the emperor's sons really fight with Liu Xia, they are not Liu Xia's opponents. Unfortunately, Liu Xia has no ambition, which is very tricky.

Liu Xia sat in the carriage and was silent.

Zhang Tianhu is right. If he wants to live in Longdu, he must have his own attitude.

That is, his position.

Whatever he supports the prince, he can bring down the prince. However, Liu Xia always feels that it is not the emperor's intention.

Thinking of this, Liu Xia understood one thing. If he is the same as the prince at this moment, then the emperor will definitely be suspicious of him.

Therefore, he can't follow the old path of the prince, because he really doesn't want to be an emperor, and he doesn't want to support anyone to be emperor.

Since you have to take a stand, Liu Xia's position is that I don't want to be emperor, and none of you should provoke me.

If you provoke me, I will let you die.

It seems that it is not enough to be a loyal minister. What he wants to do is to be a powerful minister.

It seems that you still need to come to the matter of marriage.

Thinking of this, Liu Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

An important problem in front of Liu Xia now is to clean up the prince first.

If you don't help, then rely on yourself.

After returning to the royal palace, Liu Xia called a meeting of his confidants in the council chamber.

"To be honest, the prince will try his best to retaliate against us after what happened today. And we can't give the prince this opportunity. Do it first. Yuan Binglong, you have been in Longdu for many years. Do you know some of the masters of the Prince's Mansion?

Liu Xia asked.

"Although I know some, it is not detailed. But don't worry, I'll ask right away.

"Well, that's good. Give me the list of those masters in the prince's mansion. From tomorrow, we will clean them up one by one. There are some things that I don't hide from you. This is the moment of our life and death. Once the prince's party succeeds and the prince has a chance to ascend the throne, the first thing he does is to kill me. Therefore, we can't give him this opportunity. Either don't do it. If you want to do it, just kill him.

Liu Xia said in a low voice.

The people present were frightened.

After all, what Liu Xia said was the prince.

"Your Majesty, do we have to do it with the prince?"

Zhang Zong frowned and said.

"I don't want to, but the emperor forced me to go to the opposite side of the prince. I used to think that this matter was too simple. Ladies and gentlemen, to be honest, this is not a game, but a life-to-death struggle. Although we have evidence that the prince is used to raising the private army, on this point alone, we can't move the prince. The best way is to shut him to a dead end and let his dog jump over the wall. I don't want to kill him, but at least let the emperor abolish his status as crown prince. Only in this way can we be safe. Do you all understand?"

Liu Xia said.

When everyone heard this, they nodded one after another.

On the way back, Liu Xia gave up the advantage of partying. Although she seemed to be at a disadvantage, she also had an advantage.

That is, the barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes. There are many members of the princely party, and those are his minions.

And Liu Xia has no power except for the creedness of his own palace, so Liu Xia did not take it into account.

But the prince tried his best to protect his followers. In this way, Liu Xia went into battle lightly.

Now, the first thing to do is to eliminate the crown prince's followers.

Naturally, it will start with those officials of Longdu.

With the direction, you will no longer be confused. If you have to blame, you can only blame the prince for being too unlucky and getting into trouble with an opponent like Liu Xia.

Then, Liu Xia ordered to go down to the task and let everyone go out to prepare.

At this time, Dabao came over and said, "I just heard that Mr. Chen has been here. Leave this thing behind."

After saying that, he handed a letter to Liu Xia.

Liu Xia opened it and took a look. It seemed that Chen Mo had sent all the materials he needed to attack the master.

"Tell the doorman that I'm going to close for a few days. I haven't seen any outsiders in the past few days.

Liu Xia took this list and walked out.

Subsequently, Liu Xia ordered people to send those materials to the backyard.

After withdrawing the guards, Liu Xia began to sort out the materials.

Now, it is still one step away from the master. While there is still time, we must seize the time to practice.

"Kid, you should do a good alchemy these days and prepare all the elixirs you said you need. In this way, you can also improve your Onmyoji level. I will protect the law for you.

Ao Cangqiong said.

"Thank you very much, senior."

After Liu Xia finished speaking, she began to prepare for the sacrifice of elixirs.

Impact the master, Liu Xia needs a lot of two kinds of elixir.

The first one is the fifth-order thunder seven-star elixir.

This elixir is used to strengthen Liu Xia's physique and protect Liu Xia's martial arts master.

The second kind is the sixth-order supernatural reincarnation elixir.

This, but it is used to protect Liu Xia's meridians and internal organs, and it is used to impact spiritual masters.

Leaving those troublesome trifles behind, Liu Xia took out the elixir furnace and began to alchemy.

The amount of these two elixirs needs is huge. It seems that there is no need to go out in these three days.

Immediately, Liu Xia will sort out the materials and start to melt.

The fifth-order elixir, which has been refined by Liu Xia, is very easy, and the real difficulty is the sixth-order elixir.

At this moment, Liu Xia was full of confidence and said in her heart, "Master, I'm coming!"
