The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 438

Rebellious psychology in adolescence, every teenager will have it. After the desire to gain independence begins to germinate in adolescence, they will subconsciously disobey their parents' discipline, and even oppose for the sake of opposition, without considering whether their parents' words are correct.

Of course Cai Jing doesn't know such advanced knowledge, but his insight into people's hearts is no less than that of Guo Jia.Bewitched by him, the second prince Aldaban IV slowly walked into the abyss.He wants to prove to his father Vologassis V that if he becomes emperor, he can also make the Parthian Empire stronger.

So ten days later, Artaban IV asked to go to the southern army, and Vologassis V directly agreed.This son was talented in military affairs, but unfortunately his background made it impossible for him to inherit the throne.

Similar to Li Shimin's son Li Ke, whose mother and concubine are the daughters of Emperor Sui Yang, he himself has half of the blood of the Sui Dynasty royal family. It changed back to the Sui Dynasty.

The mother clan of Aldaban IV is a veteran noble family, which is now in decline, but its influence on the empire is still there. If these old nobles are allowed to come to power, then his efforts for this country will be in vain.

Seeing that his father was so easy, Artaban IV drove him to the south, and secretly clenched his fists.He vowed to expand his influence in the South and show his father what he had accomplished.

"Your country is doing pretty well recently!" Relatively speaking, all of this is naturally in the eyes of Jiang Gan and others, "You actually set your mind on the second prince, but the second prince has no foundation after all, and he wants to operate in the south. Are you afraid that you don't have enough time? For your country, sending troops directly is easier than slowly watching the second prince rise to power, right?"

"War is not a simple matter, logistical support, deployment of soldiers, even post-war pensions, as well as repression and assimilation of occupied areas." Cai Jing picked up the teacup, and the food here is greasy and dry, and it is really impossible without tea." We need a certain buffer! Although Your Majesty doesn't care about consumption, we courtiers don't like that kind of low-level warfare."

"Haha, it seems that there is a gap between the civil and military officials of your country." Jiang Gan teased.

"The ideas may be different, but for the sake of Chu's strength, they are the same!" Cai Jing was not fooled at all, "War is the continuation of politics, which is what His Majesty said."

After a pause, he looked at Jiang Gan and continued: "Thanks to you, Confucianism is now taking root and sprouting everywhere in the Anxi Empire, and many people have already invested in it. It only takes two more years to gradually transform into Xia. This will make it much easier to occupy here in the future.”

Unlike the foreign barbarians who didn't even have civilization, their unique civilization had already appeared in the west of the Parthian Empire, and they even knew that they were an independent nation.Such an existence cannot be conquered by barbarism, or civilization can only be destroyed by barbarism, but it cannot be conquered unless another civilization is used to cover them.

"We call it Sinicization!" Jiang Gan reminded.

"Big Han is a member of Zhu Xia. Compared with Zhu Xia, Sinicization, etc., it seems petty. Are you children who have just separated from your parents and want to show your existence?" Cai Jing joked, "Just like you are now, many The things are basically learning from us Da Chu, but insisting on clamoring that they are original."

"Hmph, there is no way to do it!" Jiang Gan waved his sleeves and left immediately. Even he had to admit that after the big man came to India, many systems were indeed learned from the big Chu.

During this period of time, the Dahan did not do nothing. On the one hand, he helped Vologassis V strengthen the centralization of power, on the other hand, he trained the great prince to get close to the Dahan. At the same time, the Governor of the South was also actively wooing him to help him expand his influence.

It can be said that even if the second prince went to the south, it would not be easy for him to win over the governor.It only takes a year or two. Under the planning of the big man, the entire Parthian Empire will split once or twice, and then gradually annexed and assimilated by the big man.

Even if Da Chu participated in this process, it would not be able to change it, unless they abandoned their current strategy and sent troops to attack.

Cai Jing left Babylon the next day, and went south to the city where the second prince was. As soon as he arrived, the second prince knew that Cai Jing was coming, so he rushed out and hurriedly said: "Please help me, Mr. Cai!"

"Oh, what happened?" Cai Jing asked slightly 'surprised'. In fact, what happened during this period was reported by the people of Jinyiwei.It was nothing more than the fact that the second prince came here and found that many generals in the army were not as close to him as before. The nobles seemed to realize something, and they were lukewarm towards him.

Sure enough, the second prince complained like this for a long time, and Cai Jing listened with a smile.At this moment, the second prince is full of resentment, and he cannot be interrupted at this time, but let him vent it.

"Sir, what should I do?" The second prince just felt helpless. It was supposed to be his resource, but it became uncontrollable.

"It's very simple!" Cai Jing smiled, "I'm going to pay a visit to the nobles here tomorrow!"

The next day, Cai Jing personally visited all the nobles, and the second prince soon discovered that everyone's attitude had improved a lot.Cai Jing presided over another banquet. At the banquet, the original old nobles seemed to have begun to regain their previous enthusiasm, and even began to tolerate the straightforward character of the second prince.

"Sir, how did you do it?" The second prince approached Cai Jing excitedly and asked.

"It's nothing, a little trick!" Cai Jing laughed, he just told all the nobles cryptically that such a prince is easier to control, and if such a prince ascends to the throne, their family can gain more benefits, and even go further.

The point is that it is impossible for Vologassis V to let them take power again, and the first prince will suppress them. Only the second prince is their hope.At the same time, Cai Jing implicitly stated that Da Chu would also become the second prince's arm.

There is no need to consider who should support the governor supported by the big man and the second prince supported by the big Chu.Given a choice, everyone is willing to choose the latter.At this time, everyone thought that the second prince was just accumulating the power to become the emperor. After all, Vologassis V was still young, and the second prince would be a prince for at least ten years.

In the night, more than a dozen figures wandered in Babylon and sneaked into the palace after a while.Cai Jing has been here many times, and he has some understanding of the branch here, at least clearly, where the emperor will sleep.

"Unexpectedly, we dispatched again, and it was actually in such a place!" The leader of the man in black looked at the bedroom in front of him and said with emotion. Since the assassination of Li Shimin last time, these assassins in brocade clothes seldom took the initiative to attack. They are all used as a secret guardian force to protect Shi Hui from being assassinated.

This time when Kan Ze and the others came out, Cai Jing would definitely bring out more than 20 Jinyi assassins. Their responsibility was to assassinate Vologassis V when necessary, so as to cause chaos in the Parthian Empire.

The leader didn't delay too much, and made a gesture, and more than 20 people rushed into the bedroom, and disappeared into the night after a while.

The next day, bad news came from the palace. Vologassis V was assassinated in his sleep!

　Originally, I didn't intend to slowly use a year or two to describe the division and rectification of the Parthian Empire, as well as the final assimilation.
