The World of Martial Arts

Chapter 161 Changes in the Forbidden City

Xu Zhengping didn't turn his head until he entered the garden, the young master who was staring at the elm tree in a daze.

He carefully looked at Xu Zhengping from top to bottom, and finally said with a smile: "Mr. Xu's name, I have already heard it well from my cousin, but now it seems that it is different from the rumored domineering and domineering."

Xu Zhengping faintly felt that this person was even more noble than Huang Gongjia, and secretly guessed the other party's origin.

He turned his head to look at Huang Gongjia, "Would you like to introduce Huang Gongzi?"

Huang Gongjia hurriedly said: "Let's talk in the hall."

When he came to the lobby, Xu Zhengping realized that the only servants who served people from outside the past were the servants next to the mysterious young master.

After this person served tea for everyone, he stood by and looked at his nose, nose and heart, without saying a word, appearing very docile.

Huang Gongjia started to prepare for the introduction, but the young master raised his hand and said, "Gongjia, let me do it myself."

He stared at Xu Zhengping, and said slowly: "Gu is the current crown prince, is Mr. Xu trustworthy?"

Xu Zhengping raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "It's hard to believe."

The prince laughed and said, "It's natural, it's hard for anyone to believe it."

Huang Gongjia said: "Mr. Xu didn't force me to ask about my family background, in fact, I and the crown prince are cousins. When His Majesty was not enthroned today, His Highness the Crown Prince and I even grew up under the same roof."

Xu Zhengping said: "It doesn't matter whether what you said is true or not, but Xu needs to know the purpose of the two of you looking for me."

The prince admired and said: "Mr. Xu is a cheerful person, and you will gradually know the truth about the identity matter in the future.

As for Gu asking the public to find Mr. Xu, the purpose is also very simple, I need a power that can be used by me! "

Xu Zhengping narrowed his eyes slightly, "Xu is used to being free and easy, and will not easily become someone else's knife."

"But Mr. Xu is definitely not someone without ambition and purpose to expand his influence in this way."

Xu Zhengping thought for a while. Since he debuted to obtain the Dafa of Absorbing Stars, his most fundamental purpose was to survive, and to let himself survive better. It was no longer like in Shaolin Temple, where he had to obey certain rules, had to obey certain powerful power.

And if you want to gain freedom without any scruples, you must have a force that is hard to beat in the world.

The development of the Nanshan Gang is not at all to expand its power, but to ensure its own cultivation resources and material life.

He likes fine wine and food, luxury houses and luxurious clothes, and all kinds of enjoyment in life. His practice requires hardship, but his life pays attention to material desires.

All of this is inseparable from money. It is too troublesome for one person to make money, so indirectly controlling a force to make money for oneself is peace of mind.

But unknowingly, his various actions made this force an important force in the arena, and gradually attracted the attention of many people.

Xu Zhengping looked at His Highness the Crown Prince, "I have ambitions, but not big. I have a purpose, and it's nothing more than being free and unscrupulous."

The prince said: "Then what I can promise you is that one person is under one person and over ten thousand people! And as long as you don't threaten the imperial power, you can have the freedom you want, and no one can interfere!"

Xu Zhengping sneered, "Your Majesty is now in his prime, even if you are the real prince, how many years will I have to wait?"

The prince narrowed his eyes, "Your Majesty is already a fake."

Xu Zhengping's heart skipped a beat. He had already guessed it, so he couldn't help but frowned and said, "It seems that it has something to do with the battle between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng at the top of the Forbidden City."

The prince said: "Ye Gucheng is loyal to the son of the Southern Prince and is his mentor. Like Mr. Xu, he has a free ambition that is not restricted by all parties in the world.

Now, his goal has been achieved, the son of the Southern King killed my father, he is quite similar to my father, as long as he changes his appearance a little, no one can recognize him. "

Xu Zhengping suddenly realized something, and said: "So when a fake emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely not be willing that the crown prince is not of his own blood, so sooner or later, His Royal Highness, you will die in the palace inexplicably."

The crown prince nodded and said, "That's right! It seems that the gentleman already believes that I am the real crown prince."

Xu Zhengping was convinced, because there were not many people who knew the plot of the original book, and this person was able to explain what happened that night on the top of the Forbidden City so clearly, it was obvious that he must be the person involved, and ordinary people would not be able to fake it.

"But now that Nan Wang's son has taken over the imperial power and has taken the initiative. Even if a certain martial artist, Xu Jie, has more than a thousand gang fighters under his command, and throws himself into the battle for imperial power, it may not be enough for the imperial guards in the capital to bite their teeth."

The prince laughed loudly, "Mr. Xu was joking, even if he rebelled, trying to win over the generals of the border town, wouldn't it be better than a mere Nanshan gang?"

"Then the crown prince must have made plans, so Xu will listen carefully."

The crown prince nodded and said: "My father was captured based on the Tumu Fort change of the orthodox emperor, and then the orthodox emperor died in the Mongolian camp, which can be regarded as a respect for my descendants of the Zhu family.

The reason why the officials in the court were willing to recommend my father to be enthroned was mainly because the Empress Dowager, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and many eunuchs in charge of ceremonies joined forces to control the government.

I don't want to choose a wise and wise man from the descendants of the Zhu family to be the emperor, in case it takes a long time to compete with them for power.

But my father is illiterate, loves to play and play, and the most important thing is that besides that, he is not like other vassal princes in the region who have all kinds of faults and are easy to be caught by others.

Therefore, they jointly elected him as the emperor, but in fact the power of the government has always been controlled by the cabinet and the queen mother, and it has been nearly ten years.

You said, the son of Prince Nan won the throne, he is so ambitious, how could he be willing to be a puppet?
It is certain that he will compete with the queen mother and the cabinet for power. At that time, there will be no one in the court to support him, so he will definitely use the power of the southern palace vassals, and even use the vassals of various places, and he will not hesitate to delegate power to gain support! "

After Xu Zhengping thought for a while, he realized that what the prince said must be something that will happen in the future, so he couldn't help frowning secretly.

In today's Ming Dynasty, the northwest and northeast borders are suffering quite seriously. The northwest Mongolia and the Yuan Dynasty have been constantly tussling with the northwest border, and many countries have lost their land.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty in Northeast China has become a climate, and its power is extremely huge. It has won the support of many traitors.

Now if there is another internal problem, the imperial court will delegate power to the local vassal, and give him another peace. Under the internal and external troubles, it will almost inevitably lead to the disaster of destroying the country!

Although Xu Zhengping didn't like to meddle in this kind of state politics, he also didn't want to see the world in chaos, Rong Di invaded, and the Chinese clothing civilization was completely destroyed or castrated.

He couldn't help frowning slightly, and looked intently at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The prince continued: "No matter what the fake emperor does, it will definitely trigger a fierce struggle between the imperial court and the inner palace, but no matter which side it is, it is impossible to be willing to see the world in chaos.

Gu believes that the key battle must be concentrated in the imperial city, and such a battle does not require the intervention of a large army.

An elite of about a thousand people is enough to determine the outcome of a political battle! "
