Chapter 171

Gao Xian sent the little prince away, sat there silent for a long time, then walked to the door, and whispered a few words to the guard outside the door.

The guard agreed and ran away.

Gao Xian saw that the guards had left, so he returned to his seat and sat down, but he was constantly thinking about the little prince's suggestion just now.

Gao Xian did not agree to the little prince's suggestion, but decided to think about it and let the little prince go back first.

It was also a helpless move for Gao Xian to drag the little prince, because he was also very clear about what the Ji'an Palace had done during this period of time.

Gao Xian knew what the Ji'an Palace wanted to do, so he didn't want to give the little prince any chance.

The little prince can take advantage of it, but he must not give him any benefits, or benefits that are not good for him.

Gao Xian saw himself in the eyes of the little prince, an ambitious self.

If this suggestion was proposed by others, Gao Xian would not hesitate to adopt it, because he knew very well that this was almost his only chance.

As long as Gao Zheng does not make mistakes, his position will be as stable as a rock.

And with the empress's support, how could Gao Zheng make mistakes, as long as he stays in the palace safely, everything will come to fruition.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to catch Gao Zheng's handle, but the little prince's suggestion is real and feasible.

As long as the empress is sick again, or leaves directly, then the situation will return to the original state again.

Gao Xian is confident, he believes that if the eldest brother does not have the support of the empress, he will definitely not be his opponent.

It is precisely for this reason that Gao Xian still wants to do this when he knows the little prince's ambition.

These things must be done, but the question is how to do it in the most beneficial way?
The most important thing is that this matter must not make others suspect me, which makes this problem more difficult.

Everyone knew that Gao Xian was the only one who could compete with Gao Zheng. If the empress was poisoned during this period, the biggest suspect would definitely be Gao Xian who could get the most benefits.

At that time, not only would he not be able to overthrow Gao Zheng, but he would even lose his current status, and maybe there would be an even worse end.

Gao Xian naturally understood this, so he had to find a way not to let others doubt himself.

But what to do?

If he agrees to the little prince's suggestion, then even if the matter is done, he will have the opportunity in the hands of the little prince. At that time, if he is threatened by the little prince, he may not be the biggest beneficiary.

The little prince will be the biggest winner.

This kind of ending is definitely not what Gao Xian wants to see, he has to change this situation.

Not only that, but when things are done, he still needs to find a way to get rid of the little prince, so as to remove all obstacles to his progress.

But if the little prince is not allowed to do it, what should he do?

Gao Xian knew that the little prince had a poisoned master Tripterygium wisteria under his command.

The little prince dared to say that kind of thing because of this tripterygium.

Although Gao Xian has many masters in his subordinates, there is not a single master in poisoning.

If Gao Xian sent people to do it himself, he could only send people to the palace to assassinate, but doing so had little chance of success.

There are countless masters in the palace. It can be said that most of the top masters are in the palace.

It is almost impossible to send someone to assassinate the queen.

But what to do?

Could it be that the little prince is really going to do it...?
Just when Gao Xian thought of being in a trance, a guard's voice came from outside the door.

"His Royal Highness, Zhang Canjun has arrived."

Hearing this voice, Gao Xian was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly said loudly to the outside of the tent, "Let him in."

As soon as Gao Xian's words fell, the curtain of the tent had been lifted, and a young gentleman walked in from the door.

"Zhang Hongtai has met His Royal Highness King Liang!"

Hearing this, Gao Xian waved his hand, "You're welcome, I've come to you this time because I want to discuss something with you!"

Zhang Hongtai is the son of Zhang Jingyuan, the protector of the country, and now he is serving in the army in Prince Liang's residence.

Although his position in the palace is not the highest, he is indeed Gao Xian's absolute confidant, and his father Zhang Jingyuan, the protector of the country, is also the biggest supporter of King Liang.

Hearing this, Zhang Hongtai hurriedly clasped his hands together, "His Royal Highness, please speak up if you have anything to say!"

Hearing Zhang Hongtai's answer, Gao Xian nodded, but felt a little embarrassed, what should I say about this matter.

Even if Zhang Hongtai is his own person, but this matter, there is really no way for him to speak out.

Thinking of this, Gao Xian coughed lightly, and then sighed, "Zhang Canjun, I'm sorry for you father and son?"

Hearing Gao Xian's words, Zhang Hongtai was taken aback immediately, hurriedly cupped his fists again, and said loudly, "His Royal Highness Liang Wang, did something happen?"

Gao Xian nodded, "Zhang Canjun, I won't hide it from you. This is because the empress is seriously ill. This king thinks he has a chance, so he wants to bring you father and son to share the glory and wealth."

Speaking of this, Gao Xian's tone paused for a moment, but then, without waiting for Zhang Hongtai to answer his own words, he continued on his own.

"But this king never expected that the empress's illness would be cured again, and our chance would be lost.

And what this king promised you may never come true again, so is this king ashamed of you? "

After hearing Gao Xian's words, Zhang Hongtai also sighed secretly in his heart. At the beginning, it was precisely because they saw that the empress was seriously ill and couldn't last long, they made a desperate bet and bet on King Liang. body.

The most important thing is that they are really optimistic about King Liang, because although King Liang is the second prince, he is known for his talent, and many people in the court secretly support him.

Logically speaking, once the empress returns, the second prince is likely to take over.

But never expected that the Empress's illness was miraculously cured.

Now that the queen's illness has been cured, there is no hope for King Liang.

However, since he got on the boat of King Liang, it would not be easy to go down.

What's more, on Liang Wang's side, I am the biggest supporter. Once things are done, I will be the biggest hero and get the most benefits.

But there are already many people supporting King Han, even if he runs over, once things happen, he will not get any benefits.

Zhang Hongtai had discussed these matters with his father many times at home, so he naturally understood what his father meant.

Hearing Gao Xian's question at this moment, besides sighing in his heart, he was also desperately trying to find a way.

"His Royal Highness Liang, you must not be discouraged. Although we have fallen into a disadvantage now, I believe that with His Royal Highness Liang's talents and learning, the emperor will definitely find out. When the time comes, maybe..."

Gao Xian didn't wait for Zhang Hongtai to finish, so he interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Zhang Canjun, since the empress's illness has been cured, with her support, the elder brother's position is as solid as a rock, and we will never Here's the chance!"

Hearing Gao Xian's words, Zhang Hongtai immediately fell into silence. Naturally, he knew very well that as long as the empress recovered from her illness, no matter how many ministers of the court and central government were pulled by King Liang, it would be of no avail.

After a while, Zhang Hongtai said slowly, "His Royal Highness, this matter has not reached the last moment. The emperor is still in good health and can reign for many years. As long as we are careful, we will definitely find King Han." The flaw!"

After hearing Zhang Hongtai's words, Gao Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Zhang Canjun, you are wrong, if this continues, I don't think it will take long before the elder brother will suggest to Emperor Father to let us leave the capital.

Zhang Canjun, as long as we leave the capital, we will never have another chance! "

Zhang Hongtai sighed, "His Royal Highness, do we really have no chance?"

Hearing Zhang Hongtai's question, Gao Xian sighed suddenly, and said slowly, "Zhang Canjun, the little prince gave me an idea just now!"

Speaking of this, Gao Xian's tone paused for a moment, but then, without waiting for Zhang Hongtai to answer his own words, he continued on his own.

"Although this idea is good, but this king can't make up his mind whether to adopt this idea, so this king asked someone to call you here to come up with an idea for this king, to see whether we should agree to the little prince's suggestion or not? "

Hearing Gao Xian's words so cautiously, Zhang Hongtai's face became serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "His Royal Highness, what suggestion does the little prince say?"

Gao Xian sighed again, and said in a low voice, "The little prince wants me to attack the empress?"

"what?"

Hearing these words, Zhang Hongtai was so shocked that he almost jumped up, and cold sweat ran down his forehead. After a while, he asked in a trembling voice.

"His Royal Highness, is it true, did the little prince really suggest this?"

Gao Xian nodded, "Zhang Canjun, what do you think of the little prince's suggestion, should I do this?"

Zhang Hongtai wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness, if you do what the little prince said, once the emperor finds out, you will have no way out."

Hearing Zhang Hongtai's answer, Gao Xian was a little disappointed, and asked lightly, "Zhang Canjun, why?"

Zhang Hongtai settled down, carefully considered the little prince's suggestion, and suddenly his eyes focused.

The biggest problem now is that the empress's illness has been cured, and the eldest prince has regained the support of the empress, making his position more stable.

It was also because the queen's mother's illness was cured that Gao Xiancai had no hope anymore.

But if the empress is gone, doesn't it mean that the first prince no longer has the support of the empress, and the second prince Gao Xian will have hope again?
After thinking about this, Zhang Hongtai frowned.

Although the benefits gained from this matter are great, once something goes wrong, it will be over.

Seeing Zhang Hongtai bowing his head in thought, Gao Xian didn't bother him, picked up the tea on the table and drank it slowly.

Zhang Hongtai thought a lot. He thought of what benefits they would gain if things were successful, and what would they lose if they failed?
Thinking of the end, Zhang Hongtai unexpectedly discovered that there was really no way to choose between these two options.

If you succeed, you will gain too much, but if you fail, you will lose too much.

After a long time, Zhang Hongtai didn't come up with an idea. In desperation, he could only raise his head and look at Gao Xian, "Said with a wry smile, Your Highness King Liang, this matter, I really can't make a choice!"

Hearing Zhang Hongtai's answer, Gao Xian didn't take it seriously, and just said indifferently, "Zhang Canjun, this matter is really hard to choose, if it succeeds, and the elder brother loses the support of the empress, he is definitely not my opponent.

But if it fails, once the emperor knows that I did it, then I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to escape from the hands of the emperor. "

After hearing Gao Xian's words, Zhang Hongtai nodded and said with a sigh, "Yes, it would be good if we succeed, but if we lose, we can't afford such a loss!"

Having said that, Zhang Hongtai's tone paused for a moment, but then, without waiting for Gao Xian to answer his own words, he continued on his own.

"Your Highness King Liang, I think it's better to forget about it. If you listen to the little prince, if you make a mistake, you will regret it."

Hearing Zhang Hongtai's suggestion, Gao Xian nodded, and said slowly, "Zhang Canjun, what you said is reasonable. I thought about going with this king. The danger of doing this is too great, and the gain outweighs the loss!"

Hearing that Gao Xian agreed with his suggestion, Zhang Hongtai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "His Royal Highness Liang, it's best if you understand, I'm just afraid that His Highness Liang will do such things for profit.

If the emperor finds out, even if His Highness Prince Liang's affairs are successful, the emperor will never let you go.

Now that His Royal Highness King Liang decided to give up, the next official is relieved. "

After hearing Zhang Hongtai's words, Gao Xian nodded, "Yes, giving up is indeed a good choice for me."

Speaking of this, Gao Xian's tone paused for a moment, but then, without waiting for Zhang Hongtai to answer his own words, he continued on his own.

"Zhang Canjun, this time we want to deal with Big Brother, but I don't know if Big Brother will be angry?"

After hearing Gao Xian's words, Zhang Hongtai sighed, "At first I thought that the empress's illness could not be cured, so what we did this time was a bit too much, so I think that His Royal Highness King Han may not be so easy. Just forget about it."

Speaking of this, Zhang Hongtai paused for a moment before continuing, "His Royal Highness Liang Wang must be careful during this time, so as not to be caught by His Royal Highness Han, it will be bad at that time!"

Gao Xian nodded, turned his head to look at Zhang Hongtai, and asked slowly, "Zhang Canjun, do you mean that elder brother will definitely find a way to take revenge?"

Hearing this, Zhang Hongtai nodded with a wry smile, "If the lower official's guess is correct, I'm afraid His Royal Highness King Han will definitely think so."

After hearing Zhang Hongtai's words, Gao Xian sighed, "Zhang Canjun, according to your words, wouldn't it be a success? No matter what I do, the eldest brother will seek revenge on me!"

Hearing the words, Zhang Hongtai hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, "That's why I hope that His Royal Highness Liang Wang will try not to go out during this time. You must be careful, and His Highness Han Wang must not let His Royal Highness grasp anything."

Speaking of this, Zhang Hongtai paused for a moment before continuing, "I think as long as His Royal Highness King Liang can't catch you, even if he is dissatisfied, I'm afraid there is nothing he can do about you."

Gao Xian smiled when he heard the words, "Zhang Canjun, you mean that I need to hide?"
